09:10:43 THAT PRESENTATION, COMMENDATION FOR DEBBIE ROTOLO WAS DONE

09:10:59 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I BELIEVE DEBBIE IS ON THE LINE ACCORDING
09:11:01 TO JOHN BENNETT, WHY DON'T WE GIVE HER A SHOUT-OUT?
09:11:05 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: OKAY, NO PROBLEM.
09:11:06 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MS. ROTOLO, ARE YOU ON THE LINE?
09:11:11 >> GOOD MORNING, THANK YOU, COUNCIL CHAIRMAN AND COUNCIL

09:11:48 THEIR KIND COMMENTS AT MY SENDOFF.
09:11:50 IT MEANT SO MUCH TO ME.
09:11:52 THE RECEPTION WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.
09:11:55 I APPRECIATE ALL LORI AND PHYLLIS DID TO SET IT UP.
09:11:58 I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE CITY SINCE I WAS BORN.
09:12:03 MY MOM STARTED AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN 1960, RETIRING IN
09:12:08 1985, AND BECAUSE OF HER, MY CAREER BEGAN.

09:18:06 STAY SAFE.
09:18:08 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:18:10 OKAY.
09:18:10 WE WILL NOW BEGIN WITH PUBLIC COMMENT.
09:18:13 I HAVE QUITE A FEW SPEAKERS THAT HAVE REGISTERED TO SPEAK
09:18:17 LIVE.
09:18:18 MADAM CLERK, IF THEY ARE ON AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN, YOU
09:18:21 CAN START THE CLOCK.
09:18:22 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: POINT OF ORDER, MR. CHAIRMAN.
09:18:25 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
09:18:28 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SINCE WE HAVE A LOT OF STAFF ON THE LINE
09:18:33 WAITING, IT MIGHT BE MORE EFFICIENT FOR US TO GET THE
09:18:39 WORKSHOP OUT OF THE WAY AND ASK THE PUBLIC TO CALL BACK IN
09:18:45 OR TO PARTICIPATE WITH US AFTERWARDS.
09:18:49 I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE UNUSUAL.
09:18:52 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY, COUNCIL, THAT WAS
09:18:55 AT THE SPECIFIC DIRECTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
09:18:57 I BELIEVE THAT WAS BY MOTION AND VOTE, AND THAT WAS THE WAY
09:19:00 THE MEETING WAS NOTICED.
09:19:02 AND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE RELIED ON THAT ON THEIR
09:19:07 SCHEDULE TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE.
09:19:10 SO I JUST ASK THAT COUNCIL TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.
09:19:14 ALSO, MR. CHAIRMAN, PLEASE DO REMEMBER THE TAMPA CONVENTION
09:19:16 CENTER.
09:19:17 I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THERE'S ANYBODY WAITING TO SPEAK AT THE
09:19:20 TAMPA CONVENTION CENTER AS WELL.
09:19:21 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MADAM CLERK, DO YOU KNOW IF WE HAVE
09:19:23 ANYBODY AT THE CONVENTION CENTER AT THIS TIME?
09:19:26 >>THE CLERK: AT THIS TIME, I DO NOT KNOW OF ANYONE BEING AT
09:19:29 THE TAMPA CONVENTION CENTER.
09:19:30 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
09:19:32 I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AND SUGGESTION, COUNCILMAN
09:19:35 DINGFELDER.
09:19:37 I'M NOT GOING TO PUT THE PEOPLE AFTER BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW
09:19:40 HOW LONG THE PRESENTATIONS ARE GOING TO BE.
09:19:43 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS NOTICED -- [AUDIO
09:19:48 BREAKS UP]
09:19:50 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: BEGIN WITH PUBLIC COMMENT.
09:19:52 I HAVE THE STOPWATCH READY HERE FOR TIME.
09:19:55 THREE MINUTES PER PERSON.
09:19:57 IF THEY WOULD STATE THEIR NAME AS THEY COME ON THE LINE.
09:20:00 >>THE CLERK: THE FIRST PERSON WE HAVE IS STEPHANIE POYNOR.
09:20:07 IF YOU CAN UNMUTE YOURSELF.
09:20:10 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: STEPHANIE POYNOR, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES
09:20:14 TO SPEAK.
09:20:15 >> I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS FIRST.
09:20:16 GOOD MORNING.
09:20:16 I GOT A REAL TICKLE OUT OF NUMBER 5 ON THE AGENDA.
09:20:22 IT SAYS, PROTECT THE PEOPLE, THE AREAS THAT DON'T WANT
09:20:26 GROWTH.
09:20:27 HONESTLY, IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT WE WANT.
09:20:29 IT'S ABOUT WHAT IS SAFE.
09:20:31 AND SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A BROKEN RECORD.
09:20:34 16 YEARS OF TEACHING, AND I DON'T THINK I REPEATED MYSELF AS
09:20:37 MANY TIMES AS I HAVE IN FRONT OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
09:20:39 WE IN SOG, SOUTH OF GANDY, WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S COMING BEFORE
09:20:46 WE GET TO THE MOVIE.
09:20:47 WE DON'T WANT TO KEEP SHOWING UP 15 MINUTES LATE.
09:20:50 WE WANT A PLAN.
09:20:52 WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE THIS TODAY.
09:20:53 THERE ARE FOUR MAIN THINGS THAT I WANT TO ASK FOR TODAY.
09:20:56 WE WANT CONSIDERATION FOR TRAFFIC, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE
09:20:59 POPULATION THAT LIVES HERE, BUT BECAUSE WE ARE -- UP TO AN
09:21:06 ECONOMIC ENGINE.
09:21:07 IN 2015, MACDILL HAD 15,000 EMPLOYEES.
09:21:11 THE LAST NUMBERS I'VE RECEIVED FROM THE BASE PUTS THEM AT
09:21:14 OVER 22,000 EMPLOYEES.
09:21:16 IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, RETIREES NUMBER ANOTHER NEARLY 40,000
09:21:22 EMPLOYEES.
09:21:23 I'M SORRY, VISITORS TO OUR BASE.
09:21:25 IF YOU LOOK AT THAT GROUP ALONE, THAT ALMOST DOUBLES THE
09:21:31 NUMBERS OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN OUR AREA THAT ARE DRIVING
09:21:35 JUST THROUGH OUR AREA.
09:21:36 OUR TRAFFIC HAS INCREASED SO MUCH SINCE 2017 WHEN THEY PUT
09:21:41 IN NEW MEDIANS IN DALE MABRY, THAT THE FLORIDA D.O.T. IS
09:21:46 OFFERING TO RIP OUT -- THEY ALREADY HAVE A PLAN TO RIP OUT
09:21:50 THE MEDIANS AND REPLACE THEM WITH ONES THEY CONSIDER MORE
09:21:54 SAFE.
09:21:54 THE THIRD THING WE NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN CONSIDERING TRAFFIC
09:21:58 DOWN HERE IS THAT THE INDUSTRIAL TRAFFIC THAT COMES THROUGH
09:22:00 OUR AREA, WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF TANKER TRUCKS WHO COME THROUGH
09:22:04 HERE EVERY DAY.
09:22:06 CHEVRON AND MODEVA BOTH TOLD ME BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM,
09:22:10 ABOUT 150 TRUCKS A DAY.
09:22:11 EVERY TIME I GO DOWN AND COUNT TRUCKS AT THE CORNER OF
09:22:15 INTERBAY AND WESTSHORE, I'M COUNTING IT SHOULD BE ABOUT 300
09:22:18 A DAY.
09:22:19 THE SECOND THING WE WANT IS FOR GOOD NEIGHBOR NOTICES.
09:22:25 I ASKED YOU GUYS LAST YEAR TO VACATE 625 SQUARE FOOT PIECE
09:22:32 OF PROPERTY FROM THE CITY BEHIND ONE OF MY PROPERTIES.
09:22:35 I NOTIFIED THE SAME DISTANCE AS DEVELOPERS WHO ARE
09:22:39 DEVELOPING FOUR, FIVE, SIX HUNDRED APARTMENT, TOWN HOUSES,
09:22:43 WHATNOT.
09:22:44 THAT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.
09:22:47 NUMBER THREE, THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, I'D LIKE TO SEE
09:22:52 THOSE NICE, NEAT SMART GOALS EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT.
09:22:56 SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ACHIEVABLE, RELEVANT TIME BOUND.
09:23:00 80% OF THE BUILDING, AND I SAID IT WITH MR. SHELBY LAST
09:23:04 WEEK, THE MAP I HAVE MADE OF WHAT I COULD FIND IN SOUTH
09:23:08 TAMPA THAT HAS BEEN BUILT SINCE 2016, ALL OF MY
09:23:12 DOCUMENTATION IS FROM 2016.
09:23:15 I NOTICED TODAY THAT THE PowerPoint FROM THE PLANNING
09:23:18 DEPARTMENT SAYS 2010.
09:23:20 SO I'M REALLY -- THAT WAS, WHOO!
09:23:22 NUMBER FOUR, RATTLESNAKE.
09:23:26 THE LAND USE OBJECTIVE 8.11, TRANSITION THE USE --
09:23:32 TRANSITION RATTLESNAKE TO A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND
09:23:35 COMMERCIAL RETAIL.
09:23:37 WE HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF RESIDENTIAL AND ALMOST NO
09:23:40 COMMERCIAL RETAIL.
09:23:41 ONLY ONE OUT OF 8 OF THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT THERE
09:23:44 IN THE LAST TWO OR THREE YEARS, ACTUALLY HAS ANYTHING BUT
09:23:49 RESIDENTIAL USE.
09:23:51 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:23:52 NEXT SPEAKER.
09:23:58 >>THE CLERK: NEXT SPEAKER IS MICHAEL RANDOLPH.
09:24:01 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. RANDOLPH.
09:24:03 >> YES, HELLO.
09:24:04 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
09:24:05 GO AHEAD.
09:24:05 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:24:06 MY NAME IS MICHAEL RANDOLPH.
09:24:09 I'M WITH THE WEST TAMPA CDC.
09:24:12 I'M A BOARD MEMBER AND CENTER FOR NONPROFIT AND COMMUNITY
09:24:15 DEVELOPMENT.
09:24:16 I'VE BEEN WORKING IN WEST TAMPA IN AND OUT FOR OVER 15
09:24:20 YEARS, AND I NEVER FELT THE FEARS OF RESIDENTS, LOW INCOME
09:24:25 AND WORKING POOR RELATED TO THEM FEELING THAT THEY ARE GOING
09:24:29 TO BE FORCED OUT OF THE COMMUNITY.
09:24:30 LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, MS. JOHNSON.
09:24:33 SHE HAS FOUR KIDS AND LIVED IN WEST TAMPA FOR OVER 15 YEARS.
09:24:37 SHE IS WELL LIKED IN THE COMMUNITY AND WORKS 45 TO 60 HOURS
09:24:41 A WEEK AND SHE BARELY MAKES RENT.
09:24:44 SHE FEARS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
09:24:47 WILL SHE BE FORCED OUT?
09:24:49 MR. PEASON, HE IS A SENIOR CITIZEN LIVING ON FIXED INCOME.
09:24:53 HE'S BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY FOR OVER 50 YEARS.
09:24:56 EVERYBODY LOVES HIM.
09:24:57 AT NIGHT, HE THINKS ABOUT WILL I BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THE
09:25:03 COMMUNITY?
09:25:03 OUR SOLUTION, THE WEST TAMPA CDC SUGGESTS REDUCING THE
09:25:09 IMPACT OF GENTRIFICATION IS BASED UPON A SOCIAL ECONOMIC
09:25:14 STRATEGY THAT CREATES JOBS AND BUILD BOTH COMMUNITY AND
09:25:17 INDIVIDUAL WEALTH.
09:25:18 OUR MOST RECENT PROJECT, THE WEST TAMPA CDC TECHNOLOGICAL
09:25:24 CENTER, WEALTH BUILDING AND JOB CREATION CENTER OVER THE
09:25:27 NEXT FIVE YEARS WILL CREATE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 50 TO 60 NEW
09:25:33 RESIDENT-OWNED BUSINESSES AND WITH THE RESULT OF 60 TO 70
09:25:39 JOBS FOR THE RESIDENTS IN WEST TAMPA.
09:25:43 THIS PROJECT IS SELF-SUSTAINABLE BY GENERATING REVENUES FROM
09:25:50 CORPORATE AMERICA, WHO REALLY STRONG AND CONCERNED ABOUT
09:25:54 INSTITUTIONAL RACISM AND GENTRIFICATION.
09:25:57 WE'RE FOCUSED ON THOSE QUESTIONS.
09:25:59 THIS PROJECT WILL HAVE NINE DIVERSE REVENUE STRATEGIES TO
09:26:02 INCREASE OUR FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE.
09:26:05 ONE WILL BE A TRAINING CENTER AND TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO
09:26:10 COPE, SELF-DEVELOPMENT, WEB APPLICATION, VIDEO APPLICATION
09:26:16 AND MOBILE APPLICATION.
09:26:17 I CAN'T GO OVER ALL OF THE PROGRAMS, BUT AT THE END OF THE
09:26:21 DAY, THIS IS HOW WE DEAL WITH GENTRIFICATION.
09:26:25 THIS IS HOW WE DEAL WITH PEOPLE SLEEPING IN WEST TAMPA THAT
09:26:30 ARE WONDERING, WILL I BE HERE TOMORROW?
09:26:32 IT'S EASY WHEN YOU'VE GOT TO JOB AND CAN GO HOME AND YOU
09:26:36 HAVE ECONOMIC SECURITY.
09:26:37 IT'S NOT WHEN YOU'RE POOR AND YOU LIVE IN THE POOR COMMUNITY
09:26:41 THAT'S BEING REDEVELOPED.
09:26:43 THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK
09:26:47 FOR THE VOICES.
09:26:47 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
09:26:49 NEXT SPEAKER.
09:26:50 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS NANCY TAKEMORI.
09:26:55 >> GOOD MORNING, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
09:26:57 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, WE CAN.
09:26:58 GO AHEAD.
09:26:58 >> THANK YOU.
09:26:59 MY NAME IS NANCY TAKEMORI.
09:27:02 MY FAMILY AND I RESIDE IN THE TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE IN THE
09:27:05 DOWNTOWN CHANNEL DISTRICT.
09:27:06 I'M HERE TODAY TO ADDRESS THE NOISE ORDINANCE ITEM ON YOUR
09:27:10 WORKSHOP AGENDA.
09:27:11 WE LIVE ON THE 23rd FLOOR OF THIS BUILDING.
09:27:14 BELOW US, ON THE FIRST FLOOR, THERE IS A NIGHTCLUB CALLED
09:27:17 PARK & REC.
09:27:18 WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TWO WEEKS OR SO IN THE RUN UP TO
09:27:20 THIS MEETING AND A BRIEF PANDEMIC-RELATED CLOSURE, MY FAMILY
09:27:24 HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO THE SOUNDS AND VIBRATIONS OF MUSIC FOR
09:27:28 PARK & REC FOUR TO FIVE NIGHTS A WEEK UNTIL ABOUT 2:30 IN
09:27:33 THE MORNING.
09:27:37 AS WE LIVE OVER 20 STORIES ABOVE THE NIGHTCLUB, THE MUSIC
09:27:40 MUST BE VERY LOUD TO REACH US.
09:27:42 I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MUCH WORSE IT IS FOR ANYBODY WHO
09:27:45 LIVES IN CLOSER PROXIMITY.
09:27:47 WE CHOSE TO LIVE HERE, UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WOULD BE
09:27:50 TRADEOFFS.
09:27:51 WE LIVE IN A VIBRANT, WALKABLE AREA WITH RESTAURANTS, BARS,
09:27:56 ENTERTAINMENT, BUT THERE WOULD BE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND, YES,
09:28:00 NOISE.
09:28:01 THOSE DIFFERENT USES HAVE TO BE REGULATED IN A WAY THAT
09:28:03 MAKES THEM COMPATIBLE.
09:28:05 NOISE IS SO LOUD THAT IT CAN BE HEARD 23 FLOORS UP UNTIL THE
09:28:12 EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING SIMPLY NOT COMPATIBLE WITH
09:28:14 RESIDENTIAL LIVING.
09:28:15 MAKE NO MISTAKE, HOWEVER IT WAS ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED, THIS
09:28:18 SECTION OF THE CHANNEL DISTRICT, NORTH OF SPARKMAN WHARF IS
09:28:23 PRIMARILY A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
09:28:25 I'M NOT SEEKING TO PUT PARK & REC OUT OF BUSINESS.
09:28:30 I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO LOSE THEIR JOB OVER THIS.
09:28:32 I DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARY.
09:28:33 I ALSO DON'T THINK WE CAN COUNT ON THE BUSINESS TO BE A GOOD
09:28:36 NEIGHBOR.
09:28:37 WE'VE BEEN ASKING THEM VOLUNTARILY FOR A LONG TIME TO TURN
09:28:41 DOWN THE NOISE AND THEY HAVEN'T DONE SO.
09:28:43 SO WHAT I'M ASKING IS THAT YOU MODIFY YOUR NOISE ORDINANCE
09:28:46 TO LOWER THE DECIBEL LEVEL THRESHOLDS FOR THE CHANNEL
09:28:49 DISTRICT FOR AT LEAST THIS PART OF THE CHANNEL DISTRICT.
09:28:52 PLEASE, HELP US CREATE A NEIGHBORHOOD FOR BOTH BUSINESSES
09:28:56 AND RESIDENTS CAN PEACEABLY COEXIST, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
09:29:01 YOUR TIME AND YOUR CONSIDERATION.
09:29:02 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:29:05 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS PARIS GIRGINIS.
09:29:16 >> GOOD MORNING.
09:29:17 MY NAME IS PARIS GIRGINIS.
09:29:18 I ALSO LIVE AT THE TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE.
09:29:21 MY NEIGHBOR SAID IT FAR MORE ELOQUENTLY THAN I CAN.
09:29:26 THE ISSUE I HAVE IS ALSO THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS CALLER.
09:29:30 WE MOVED HERE, MY SPOUSE AND I FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO
09:29:34 BECAUSE THIS IS A WONDERFUL NEIGHBORHOOD TO LIVE.
09:29:38 IT USUALLY IS UNTIL THE NIGHTCLUB ON THE GROUND LEVEL OF OUR
09:29:43 BUILDING STARTS PLAYING THE VERY LOUD MUSIC WHICH
09:29:46 REVERBERATES THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARTICULARLY MORE
09:29:50 SO NOW WITH ALL THE NEW BUILDINGS THAT HAVE GONE UP, WHICH
09:29:53 MAKES THE NEIGHBORHOOD MORE WONDERFUL, BUT ALSO INCREASES
09:29:57 THE VIBRATIONS AND THE NOISE AS IT BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH
09:30:02 FROM BUILDING TO BUILDING.
09:30:04 THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN GET ANY KIND OF PEACE AND SLEEP IS
09:30:09 WITH EARPLUGS AND THOSE ONLY WORK UP TO A CERTAIN POINT.
09:30:14 BECAUSE WHEN THE MUSIC AND THE LOUD NOISES MOVE TO THE
09:30:19 PATIO, EVEN THOSE BECOME INEFFECTIVE AND THEY ARE NOT
09:30:22 OVERALL EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE VIBRATIONS FROM THE BASS, FROM
09:30:26 THE MUSIC.
09:30:26 OF COURSE, OUR BALCONY, WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE
09:30:31 MOVED TO THE BUILDING IS ALMOST USELESS TO US, BECAUSE WHEN
09:30:35 THE MUSIC IS SO LOUD, WE CANNOT HEAR EACH OTHER TALK.
09:30:39 SO I WOULD ALSO PLEASE ASK YOU TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, TO MAKE
09:30:46 OUR HOME LIVABLE AND PLEASANT TO LIVE IN.
09:30:50 THIS IS A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL THE
09:30:53 WAY THE CITY IS TRYING TO MAKE THE STREET SAFE TO WALK, BUT
09:30:56 A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP IS ALSO IMPORTANT FOR A HEALTHY
09:30:59 LIFESTYLE.
09:31:02 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:31:05 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER WE HAVE IS ROBERT ABBERGER.
09:31:13 >> YES, GOOD MORNING.
09:31:15 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GOOD MORNING.
09:31:16 GO AHEAD, SIR.
09:31:17 >> YES, I REPRESENT DAVIS ISLANDS CIVIC ASSOCIATION, AND WE
09:31:21 HAVE SUBMITTED COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS VIA A LETTER TO
09:31:27 YOU WITH REGARD TO GROWTH CONCERNS ON DAVIS ISLAND.
09:31:32 I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE POSITIVE
09:31:38 STEPS.
09:31:38 WE APPRECIATE STAFF GREATLY.
09:31:41 WE KNOW HOW HARD THEY WORK AND THE CHALLENGES THAT THEY FACE
09:31:44 AND THE BUDGET CONSTRAINTS THAT YOU ALL ARE FACING IN THESE
09:31:48 TIMES.
09:31:48 SO WE TRULY DO APPRECIATE THEIR COMMENTS AND UNDERSTAND WHEN
09:31:55 THEY SAY WE DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO ADDRESS.
09:31:58 WHAT WE'VE TRIED TO DO, HOWEVER IS LAY OUT INITIAL STEPS
09:32:01 THAT WE BELIEVE CAN BE TAKEN WITHIN THE RESOURCES THAT DO
09:32:05 EXIST, AND WE JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO LEAVE TODAY WITH
09:32:09 POSITIVE ACTION.
09:32:10 THANK YOU.
09:32:11 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:32:12 NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
09:32:14 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS KATHY ECHEVARRIA.
09:32:23 >> GOOD MORNING.
09:32:24 I'M FROM OAKFORD PARK JUST OFF THE KENNEDY, MacDILL,
09:32:28 CYPRESS AND DALE MABRY.
09:32:29 WE HAVE A UNIQUE ZONING CLASSIFICATION HERE THAT WAS PUT IN
09:32:35 PROBABLY WHEN THIS AREA WAS COW PASTURES, BUT IT IS
09:32:41 RESIDENTIAL ONLY, AND THERE IS A MOVE AFOOT TO REQUEST
09:32:47 ZONING TO HAVE MULTIFAMILY UNITS ON NORTH A STREET, A VERY
09:32:53 NARROW STREET, AND WE THINK THAT IS VERY UNFAIR TO OUR
09:33:01 NEIGHBORHOOD, TO PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAVE INVESTED HERE.
09:33:08 WHEN WE LOOK TO OUR EAST AND WEST, WE SEE MULTIFAMILY
09:33:11 NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAS TAKEN OVER AND IT HAS IMPRESSED UPON
09:33:19 US THAT WE DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN HERE.
09:33:23 WE'RE AGAINST ALLOWING MULTIFAMILY ZONING CHANGE TO THE WAY
09:33:28 OUR ZONING IS NOW.
09:33:30 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:33:32 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
09:33:33 NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
09:33:35 >>THE CLERK: NEXT SPEAKER IS KENTON BRADFORD.
09:33:38 IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
09:33:47 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: KENTON BRADFORD.
09:33:52 >>THE CLERK: ALL RIGHT.
09:33:53 WE'LL MOVE ON TO MR. SHAWN BROWN.
09:33:55 IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
09:33:57 >> YES, I CAN.
09:33:58 GOOD MORNING, COUNCILMEN AND MR. SHELBY.
09:34:01 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:34:02 MY NAME IS SHAWN BROWN.
09:34:03 I AM THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE GANDY CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
09:34:08 THE COMMENTS I'M GOING TO MAKE TODAY IN REGARDS TO ITEMS 5
09:34:12 AND 10 ON THE AGENDA.
09:34:13 THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A WELL-INTENDED ROAD MAP FOR
09:34:17 FUTURE GROWTH OF OUR CITY.
09:34:18 RECENT YEARS HAS SHOWN FLAWS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.
09:34:21 THE MAIN CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE AND INCORPORATED IS
09:34:25 INCORPORATING STRONGER LANGUAGE THAT HOLDS DEVELOPERS AND
09:34:28 THE CITY ACCOUNTABLE TO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AS IT PERTAINS TO
09:34:30 THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND ASSETS LOCATED WITHIN THE VARIOUS
09:34:34 NEIGHBORHOODS.
09:34:34 FOR EXAMPLE, LAND USE POLICY 1.1.4 PLACES EMPHASIS ON
09:34:39 RECOGNIZING TAMPA INTERNATIONAL FOR ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE
09:34:43 WESTSHORE DISTRICT.
09:34:44 YET, THIS SAME EMPHASIS IS NOT PLACED ON MACDILL AIR FORCE
09:34:47 BASE CONCERNING ITS IMPACT AND IMPORTANCE TO SOUTH TAMPA, IN
09:34:52 PARTICULAR SOG.
09:34:54 LAND USE OBJECTIVE 8.3 FOCUSES ON DEVELOPMENT
09:34:56 COLLABORATION -- BUT ONLY AS IT PERTAINS TO THE POTENTIAL
09:35:00 IMPACT ON FLIGHT PATHS ONE AND TWO.
09:35:02 THE ASPECTS LACKING FROM THESE POLICIES IS THE FACT THAT
09:35:05 22,000 PEOPLE TRAVEL TO AND FROM THE BASE FOR WORK, WHICH
09:35:08 HAS IMPLICATIONS ON THE ENTIRETY OF SOUTH TAMPA AND IN SOG
09:35:12 IN PARTICULAR.
09:35:14 AS A RESULT, THE ROADS IN SOUTH TAMPA AND SOG HAVE BECOME
09:35:18 UNBEARABLE AND UNSAFE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK, IN LARGE
09:35:21 PART, DUE TO THE UNCONTROLLED INFLUX OF NEW RESIDENTIAL
09:35:25 UNITS OF NEARLY 4500 IN THE LAST DECADE ADDED TO OUR AREA.
09:35:28 AND, OF COURSE, THAT MEANS THAT THOSE FOLKS AND THE REGULAR
09:35:31 RESIDENTS AND PEOPLE TRAVELING TO THE BASE ARE FIGHTING FOR
09:35:33 THE SAME ROAD SPACE.
09:35:35 SINCE A LACK OF TRANSIT OPTIONS BASED ON THE FACT THAT ONLY
09:35:39 TWO BUS ROUTES EXIST SOUTH OF EUCLID IS DIFFICULT FOR ANY OF
09:35:42 THE 22,000 FOLKS TRAVELING TO THE BASE FOR WORK TO RELIABLY
09:35:46 CONSIDER TRANSIT AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO GET TO AND FROM THE
09:35:49 BASE.
09:35:49 FINALLY, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS THAT COULD ACCOMMODATE
09:35:52 MUCH-NEEDED COMMERCIAL OPTIONS WOULD BE NICE TO COMPLEMENT
09:35:55 THE IMPACT THE BASE HAS IN SOUTH TAMPA AND IN SOG IN
09:35:58 PARTICULAR.
09:35:59 IN THE HOPES OF PROVIDING QUALITY JOB OPPORTUNITIES TO
09:36:02 NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS.
09:36:03 BASED ON THIS, IT'S TIME TO RECOGNIZE THE BENEFITS THE BASE
09:36:07 HAS TO OFFER BEFORE IT IS LOST.
09:36:09 BEYOND MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, THE ISSUES WITH MIXED USE
09:36:12 TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENTS HAVE PLACED A STRAIN ON THE
09:36:15 QUALITY AND ECONOMIC LIVES OF EVERY RESIDENT.
09:36:17 LAND USE POLICIES 1.1.6 AND 1.1.7 FOCUS ON ENCOURAGING OR
09:36:22 CONSIDERING, EMPHASIS ADDED, TRANSIT ORIENTED PEDESTRIAN
09:36:26 FRIENDLY MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IN ALL DISTRICTS.
09:36:28 WHILE WELL INTENDED, THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE, EMPHASIS ADDED,
09:36:32 DEVELOPERS TO DESIGN THEIR PROJECTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS.
09:36:36 CONTRADICTORY THOUGH IS LAND USE POLICY 1.1.8 WHICH STATES
09:36:40 THAT DEVELOPMENT SHOULD PROVIDE DIVERSE HOUSING
09:36:42 OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE EFFICIENTLY SERVED BY TRANSIT WHILE
09:36:45 MAINTAIN THE CHARACTER OF ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL
09:36:47 NEIGHBORHOODS.
09:36:48 WHEN LOOKING AT THESE POLICIES, THERE NEEDS TO BE STRONG,
09:36:50 CONCISE LANGUAGE THAT REQUIRES, EMPHASIS ADDED, MIXED USE
09:36:54 DEVELOPMENT TO BE TRANSIT ORIENTED AND WORK WITH THE
09:36:58 NEIGHBORS TO BE AN ASSET, NOT A LIABILITY.
09:37:00 WITH THAT SAID, THE INVOLVEMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE
09:37:02 DESIGN PROCESS OF MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IS CRITICAL TO
09:37:04 ENSURING THE NEEDS ARE MET TO MAINTAIN THE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL,
09:37:08 HISTORICAL VALUE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS.
09:37:09 LAND USE OBJECTIVE 9.3 ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS THIS.
09:37:13 UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE NO POLICIES SAYING THAT DEVELOPERS
09:37:15 CONSULT WITH NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, COLLABORATE ON THE
09:37:18 NEEDS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND HOW BEST TO DESIGN THE
09:37:20 PROPOSED PROJECT AND FIT THE SURROUNDING AREA.
09:37:23 THIS IS A MISSED OPPORTUNITY THAT SHOULD BE REMEDY.
09:37:26 FINALLY, PLEASE ESTABLISH A -- IS MY TIME UP?
09:37:33 MY FINALLY COMMENT, PLEASE ESTABLISH A RESIDENTIAL DENSITY
09:37:48 LIMIT THAT IS MEASURED BY DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AS
09:37:52 RECOMMENDED BY THE ANALYSIS OF BEST PRACTICE FOR COASTAL
09:37:54 HIGH HAZARD AREAS.
09:37:55 IN ADDITION, PLEASE PUT A SUSPENSION ON REZONINGS FOR
09:37:59 MULTIFAMILY IN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AS STAFF
09:38:01 RECOMMENDED ON PAGE 62 OF THE PRESENTATION YOU WILL BE
09:38:04 SEEING SHORTLY.
09:38:05 PLEASE GO ONE STEP FURTHER BY INCLUDING THE CPA.
09:38:08 THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
09:38:10 MUCH APPRECIATED FOR ALL THE WORK THAT IS DONE ON BEHALF OF
09:38:12 THE CITY.
09:38:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
09:38:16 >>THE CLERK: NEXT SPEAKER IS DEBBIE ZOMERMAAND.
09:38:20 IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
09:38:24 >> THANK YOU.
09:38:25 CAN YOU HEAR ME?
09:38:26 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE CAN.
09:38:27 GO AHEAD.
09:38:28 >> THANK YOU.
09:38:29 I'M A RESIDENT OF DAVIS ISLANDS.
09:38:31 I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE
09:38:35 COMMENTS.
09:38:35 I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE VARIOUS WORKSHOP PRESENTATIONS,
09:38:38 AND I GREATLY APPRECIATE THE COMMITMENT OF STAFF AS THEY
09:38:41 HAVE LISTENED TO THE CONCERNS OF THE RESIDENTS.
09:38:44 I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THERE BE AN EXTENDED PROCESS FOR
09:38:47 COMMENTING AFTER THE PRESENTATIONS PRIOR TO ANY DECISION, AS
09:38:53 MANY OF THE ITEMS THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED TODAY HAVE
09:38:56 SIGNIFICANT IMPLICATIONS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.
09:38:59 AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THESE COMMENTS.
09:39:02 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:39:03 NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
09:39:05 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
09:39:07 IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF.
09:39:11 >> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
09:39:12 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, GO AHEAD.
09:39:14 >> BEFORE YOU START MY TIME, I JUST WANT TO SAY I SIGNED UP
09:39:17 FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS.
09:39:18 I THOUGHT WE WOULD GET TO COMMENT AFTER EACH PRESENTATION.
09:39:22 IF YOU GIVE ME ONE EXTRA MINUTE, I'LL ACTUALLY USE LESS TIME
09:39:25 AND GET IT ALL DONE.
09:39:26 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SURE.
09:39:27 GO AHEAD, MA'AM.
09:39:28 WE'LL START THE CLOCK NOW AND YOU HAVE FOUR MINUTES.
09:39:31 >> THANK YOU.
09:39:31 CARROLL ANN BENNETT.
09:39:32 LIFELONG RESIDENT OF SOUTH TAMPA.
09:39:34 CITY RESOURCES ARE USED TO PRODUCE REPORTS AND PowerPoint
09:39:39 SLIDES, AND, FRANKLY, IT SEEMS LIKE A WASTE OF TIME.
09:39:42 THE CITY COUNCIL HOLDS HEARINGS AND RENDERS JUDGMENT, BUT IT
09:39:46 SEEMS TO BE STRIPPED OF AUTHORITY.
09:39:47 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS BROKEN AND TAMPA IS RUDDERLESS.
09:39:53 NO MATTER WHAT THE CITY SAYS ABOUT WHERE AND WHAT KIND OF
09:39:56 GROWTH SHOULD OCCUR, DEVELOPERS ARE THE ONES STEERING OUR
09:39:59 SHIP.
09:40:00 THEY DECIDE WHAT WOULD MAKE THE BIGGEST PROFIT AND THEY
09:40:03 THREATEN TO SUE THE CITY IF THEY DO NOT GET WHAT THEY WANT.
09:40:06 SUING THE CITY HAS BECOME PART OF THE PERMITTING PROCESS FOR
09:40:09 THEM.
09:40:10 IT IS JUST ONE COST OF DOING BUSINESS.
09:40:13 STRENGTHENING THE COMP PLAN DOES NOT TAKE AWAY A BUILDERS
09:40:16 ABILITY TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE CURRENT ZONING.
09:40:19 IT DOES NOT TAKE AWAY THE RIGHTS OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE
09:40:22 REZONINGS THEY THINK ARE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY.
09:40:27 STRENGTHENING THE COMP PLAN WOULD GIVE CITY COUNCIL THE
09:40:30 RIGHTFUL AUTHORITY TO SAY NO TO REZONINGS THAT YOU CONCLUDE
09:40:34 ARE WRONG FOR THE CITY.
09:40:36 AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THE COMP PLAN IS BROKEN IS THAT IT
09:40:39 PROVIDES LITTLE PROTECTION FOR THE FUTURE.
09:40:42 SEA LEVEL IS RISING AND STORMS ARE GETTING STRONGER.
09:40:45 WHEN IT COMES TO MANAGING GROWTH IN THE COASTAL PLANNING
09:40:47 AREA AND THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, WE ARE WHISTLING
09:40:51 ALONG WITH OUR BLINDERS FIRMLY IN PLACE AND OUR FINGERS
09:40:55 CROSSED, HOPING ALL STORMS WILL PASS US BY AND THAT THE
09:40:58 SCIENCE IS WRONG.
09:40:59 IT KIND OF REMINDS ME OF THE TITANIC AND HOW WHEN THEY
09:41:03 DECLARED IT UNSINKABLE, PEOPLE SAID THEY WERE FLYING IN THE
09:41:06 FACE OF GOD.
09:41:07 YOU KNOW THE COMP PLAN IS BROKEN BECAUSE STAFF MUST LABEL
09:41:11 REZONINGS AS CONSISTENT EVEN THOUGH THEY VIOLATE THE PLAN'S
09:41:14 OBJECTIVES.
09:41:15 APPARENTLY, OBJECTIVES ARE MEANINGLESS AND IT'S THE POLICIES
09:41:21 THAT COUNT, BUT OUR PLAN DOES NOT HAVE STRONG, MEANINGFUL
09:41:24 POLICIES.
09:41:25 PLEASE GIVE US THESE POLICIES.
09:41:27 GIVE US A POLICY LIKE WHAT IS RECOMMENDED ON PAGE 13 OF THE
09:41:31 ANALYSIS OF BEST PRACTICE POLICIES FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE
09:41:35 CHHA.
09:41:36 IT RECOMMENDS ESTABLISHING A RESIDENTIAL DENSITY LIMIT
09:41:40 MEASURED BY DWELLING UNITS PER GROSS ACRE.
09:41:43 WHEN BUILDERS WANTED THE CITY'S TREE CODE REWRITTEN, THEY
09:41:46 SAID THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS UNCERTAINTY.
09:41:49 THEY COULD NOT LOOK AT A PROPERTY AND KNOW WHAT COULD BE
09:41:51 DONE WITH IT.
09:41:52 UNCERTAINTY IS AN ENORMOUS SUCKING DRAIN ON EVERYONE'S
09:41:56 RESOURCES, INCLUDING MINE.
09:41:58 IT SUCKS US ALL DRY.
09:42:01 PLEASE CREATE CERTAINTY AND PREDICTABILITY.
09:42:04 GIVE PLANNING AUTHORITY BACK TO THE RESIDENTS AND TO THE
09:42:06 CITY.
09:42:06 AMEND THE COMP PLAN AND ESTABLISH A RESIDENTIAL DENSITY
09:42:09 LIMIT MEASURED BY DWELLING UNITS PER GROSS ACRE.
09:42:12 AND IN THE MEANTIME, PUT A SUSPENSION ON REZONINGS FOR
09:42:17 MULTIFAMILY AND THE CHHA AS STAFF RECOMMENDS ON PAGE 62 OF
09:42:22 THEIR PRESENTATION THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE.
09:42:24 PLEASE GO ONE STEP FARTHER, INCLUDE THE COASTAL PLANNING
09:42:28 AREA THAT IS ALL EVACUATION ZONES.
09:42:30 DO THE ANNUAL REVIEWS REQUIRED BY SECTION 1.2.3 AND SECTION
09:42:35 11.5 OF THE COMP PLAN.
09:42:37 READ THE 104 PUBLIC COMMENTS RANDY GOERS GOT ON DEVELOPMENT
09:42:43 AND POLICIES AND EVACUATION ZONES.
09:42:45 YOU NEED TO DO THIS BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THAT CHH ANALYSIS,
09:42:49 WE HAVE BEEN OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE REQUIREMENTS
09:42:53 FOR EVACUATION TIMES SINCE 2017, AND THEY ARE EXPECTED TO
09:42:57 GET EVEN WORSE.
09:42:58 MR. VIERA SAID, DON'T HATE THE PLAYER.
09:43:02 HATE THE GAME.
09:43:03 WELL, NOW IS THE TIME TO CHANGE THE GAME.
09:43:05 THANK YOU.
09:43:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:43:08 NEXT SPEAKER.
09:43:09 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS KAREN COX.
09:43:15 >> GOOD MORNING.
09:43:15 I AM ADDRESSING AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 11, AND IN PARTICULAR
09:43:24 WITH RESPECT TO A 257 RESIDENTIAL UNIT -- RESIDENTIAL
09:43:30 CONDOMINIUM UNIT BUILDING NAMED THE TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE,
09:43:34 WHICH WAS DEVELOPED IN 2007 BY MERIDIAN.
09:43:37 AND IT IS ONE OF THE PIONEERS IN THE CHANNEL DISTRICT AND
09:43:41 HAS BEEN THERE AS THE CHANNEL DISTRICT HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED
09:43:47 INTO THE LIVE/WORK AREA THAT IT IS AND CONTINUES TO DEVELOP
09:43:51 TO BE SINCE TOWERS WAS PUT THERE, RIVERWALK HAS GROWN.
09:43:58 USF MEDICAL SCHOOL HAS BEEN BUILT DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET
09:44:01 ON MERIDIAN, SPARKMAN'S WHARF INSTALLED.
09:44:07 GROWTH REQUIRES CHANGES TO ZONING AND MUNICIPAL CODES.
09:44:13 AS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ADDRESSED, A NIGHTCLUB, GAMING BAR
09:44:19 NAMED PARK & REC IS EMBEDDED IN THE CHANNEL DISTRICT BELOW
09:44:26 THE REPS IN THE TOWER, THE CHANNELSIDE.
09:44:29 ALTHOUGH WE ARE AN ADVOCATE FOR PROGRESS, THE REALITY IS
09:44:35 THAT THE AREA, CHANNEL DISTRICT IS INCREASINGLY DEVELOPING
09:44:39 AS A RESIDENTIAL AREA.
09:44:42 THE CITY OF TAMPA IS GOING TO DEVELOP CHANNELSIDE DRIVE AS A
09:44:46 RESIDENTIAL ROADWAY, AND SO NIGHTCLUBS ARE INCOMPATIBLE.
09:44:51 SO WE WOULD ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER CHANGES TO THE MUNICIPAL
09:44:56 ORDINANCES THAT MORE EFFECTIVELY CONTROL INDOOR AND OUTDOOR
09:45:00 NOISE, THAT YOU MAKE THE CHANNEL DISTRICT GOVERNED BY THE
09:45:06 NOISE STANDARDS OF 14-153 AS OPPOSED TO 14-154 THAT YOU
09:45:15 CONSIDER ORDINANCES THAT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF HUMAN NOISE
09:45:19 BECAUSE OUTDOOR BUSINESSES OR BUSINESSES THAT CONDUCT
09:45:22 THEMSELVES OUTDOORS, SUCH AS PARK & REC, ALSO CREATE A GREAT
09:45:26 DEAL OF HUMAN NOISE THAT CURRENTLY IS UNREGULATED BY THE
09:45:30 CITY'S ORDINANCES, THAT YOU CONSIDER CHANGES TO THE HOURS OF
09:45:36 OPERATIONS, ESPECIALLY OUTDOOR VENUES IN RESIDENTIAL
09:45:40 NEIGHBORHOODS SUCH AS THE CHANNEL DISTRICT, MORE EFFECTIVE
09:45:44 ENFORCEMENT OF THE NOISE ORDINANCES.
09:45:47 AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE
09:45:50 CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
09:45:54 TO PROVIDE OUR INPUT ON THESE IMPORTANT ISSUES.
09:45:58 THANK YOU.
09:46:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:46:01 NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
09:46:03 >>THE CLERK: NEXT SPEAKER IS MR. GEORGE GRASS.
09:46:06 >> YES, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CITY COUNCIL FOR HOLDING
09:46:08 THIS WORKSHOP TODAY AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IN REGARD
09:46:12 TO AGENDA ITEM 11 REGARDING NOISE ORDINANCES.
09:46:15 MY NAME IS DANIEL GRASS.
09:46:17 MY WIFE AND I HAVE LIVED IN THE DOWNTOWN TAMPA AREA SINCE
09:46:20 2015.
09:46:20 WE CHOSE TO LIVE THE CONDO LIFE DUE TO WALKABILITY AND
09:46:24 ACCESS TO VARIOUS RESTAURANTS AND ATTRACTIONS THAT DOWNTOWN
09:46:27 HAS TO OFFER.
09:46:29 WE MOVED TO THE TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE IN APRIL OF 2019 AS I
09:46:34 WANTED TO BE CLOSER TO THE WATER STREET DEVELOPMENT.
09:46:36 WE PURCHASED A 24 CONDO IN THE TOWERS PRIOR TO THE OPENING
09:46:41 OF THE BAR NIGHTCLUB CALLED PARK & REC, WHICH I BELIEVE
09:46:45 BEGAN OPERATION IN OCTOBER OF 2019.
09:46:48 WE WERE EXCITED TO SEE PARK & REC OPEN AS IT WAS AN
09:46:52 ADDITIONAL ATTRACTION WITH SPARKMAN WHARF AND CHANNELSIDE
09:46:55 THAT PROMOTED OUR LIVE, WORK, PLACE, LOCALE.
09:46:58 SINCE THEIR OPENING, OUR OPINIONS HAVE CHANGED.
09:47:01 THE FIRST WEEK OF PARK & REC OPENING BROUGHT LOUD MUSIC, BUT
09:47:04 WE GAVE THEM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, AS IT WAS A NEW
09:47:07 OPENING.
09:47:08 SINCE WE WERE 20 FLOORS UP AND NOT DIRECTLY ABOVE PARK &
09:47:11 REC, WE THOUGHT WE WOULD BE SPARED FROM THEIR OPERATIONS,
09:47:14 BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE.
09:47:15 AT THAT TIME, MY WIFE AND I WORKED AWAY FROM HOME STARTING
09:47:19 IN THE MORNING AND RETURNING IN THE EVENING, BUT WE SOON
09:47:22 CAME TO REALIZE THAT PARK & REC WOULD OPERATE UP TO 2:30 IN
09:47:26 THE MORNING ON A NIGHTLY BASIS.
09:47:28 THE FIRST WEEKEND, THE BASS WAS SO LOUD IT STARTED TO SHAKE
09:47:32 MY BEDROOM WALLS 20 FLOORS UP WHICH IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
09:47:35 THAN HEARING A CAR DRIVE BY WITH A LARGE STEREO.
09:47:39 PARK & REC CONSISTENT THUMPING AS SONGS CONTINUE TO PLAY
09:47:43 INTO THE EARLY MORNING.
09:47:44 THERE IS NO ESCAPE, NO DAMPENING WITH SOUND MACHINES OR
09:47:47 TURNING UP THE TV TO DROWN OUT THE REVERBERATIONS.
09:47:52 AFTER ONE MONTH, OUR SLEEP STARTED TO BECOME DEPRIVED,
09:47:55 ESPECIALLY AFTER WORKING LONG HOUR DAYS WHERE I ALSO HAVE TO
09:47:58 MAKE COMPLEX MEDICAL DECISIONS ON A DAILY BASIS AND THEN
09:48:01 RETURNING HOME TO UNRELENTING BASS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.
09:48:05 I EVENTUALLY WALKED INTO PARK & REC AND ASKED THEM TO PLEASE
09:48:10 TURN THE SUBWOOFER BUT THIS WAS SHRUGGED UP.
09:48:13 COMPLAINTS WERE RAISED TO THE HOA AND TOLD TO CALL THE
09:48:16 NON-EMERGENT POLICE LINE TO FILE COMPLAINTS.
09:48:20 WE QUICKLY LEARNED FROM THE POLICE THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE
09:48:22 TO ENFORCE ANY CITATIONS DUE TO ORDINANCES AND WERE LIMITED
09:48:27 TO POLITELY ASKING PARK & REC TO TURN DOWN THEIR MUSIC.
09:48:31 AFTER A POLICE VISIT, THE MUSIC WAS TURNED UP AGAIN.
09:48:35 AS A NON-EMERGENT COMPLAINT IS TRIAGED, YOU CAN IMAGINE
09:48:39 POLICE MAY NOT SHOW UP UNTIL 45 MINUTES TO TWO HOURS LATER.
09:48:44 I HAVE GONE THROUGH MY PHONE RECORDS AND SINCE STARTING IN
09:48:45 THE END OF 2019, I HAVE CALLED THE NON-EMERGENT HOTLINE 30
09:48:50 TIMES, MOSTLY STARTING AROUND 9 P.M. AND GOING AS LATE AS
09:48:54 2 A.M., SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES IN A SINGLE NIGHT.
09:48:57 YOU ARE ALSO ASKED IF YOU WANT TO MEET WITH AN OFFICER.
09:49:00 BUT WHEN IT IS 1 A.M., YOU DON'T WANT TO STAY UP TO DEPRIVE
09:49:04 YOUR SLEEP FURTHER.
09:49:09 I AM NOW CALL FATIGUED, AND I AM CONTEMPLATING SELLING MY
09:49:11 CONDO.
09:49:12 THE EMERGENCE OF COVID CAUSED CLOSURE OF PARK & REC AND THE
09:49:12 SOUND HAS DECREASED.
09:49:12 BUT DUE TO THE REOPENINGS, THE INTENSITY IS NOW INCREASING
09:49:16 AGAIN.
09:49:17 JUST LAST WEEK, I WAS WOKEN UP AT 2:15 IN THE MORNING OF
09:49:20 SOMEONE YELLING EXPLETIVES IN A MICROPHONE ABOUT HAVING A
09:49:24 GOOD NIGHT WHILE ALSO HEARING THE BASS CONTINUE.
09:49:27 WE PAY HIGH TAXES TO LIVE IN 33602 AND SUPPORT THE LOCAL
09:49:31 DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES ON A WEEKLY BASIS.
09:49:34 NOT BEING ABLE TO ENFORCE ANY NOISE ORDINANCE VIA THE POLICE
09:49:38 IS DISHEARTENING AS A CITIZEN OF THIS COMMUNITY.
09:49:42 I WANT CHANNELSIDE BUSINESSES TO THRIVE, BUT I PLEASE URGE
09:49:45 THE CITY TO MODIFY THE NOISE ORDINANCE AND DECIBEL LEVEL SO
09:49:49 THE PEOPLE OF THE CHANNELSIDE DISTRICT CAN COME HOME TO AN
09:49:52 AREA WHERE THEY CAN REST AFTER WORKING THEIR LONG JOBS
09:49:55 THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
09:49:56 THANK YOU.
09:49:56 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:49:57 NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.
09:49:58 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MR. PHIL COMPTON.
09:50:04 >> GOOD MORNING.
09:50:05 THIS IS PHIL COMPTON.
09:50:06 1430 EAST PARK CIRCLE, TAMPA.
09:50:10 WITH SIERRA CLUB FLORIDA, A MEMBER OF THE TAMPA BAY CLIMATE
09:50:15 ALLIANCE.
09:50:16 I WANT TO THANK COUNCIL MEMBER CITRO AND HIS OFFICE.
09:50:19 COUNCIL ATTORNEY MARTIN SHELBY AND SUSTAINABILITY AND
09:50:22 RESILIENCE OFFICER WHIT REMER.
09:50:24 WE'VE WORKED WITH THESE GENTLEMEN IN THE LAST WEEK TO SO I
09:50:27 FEEL SOLVE THE INDUSTRIES RAISED BY THE 17 CITIZENS WHO
09:50:30 SPOKE LAST WEEK ON THE MATTER OF A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE FOR
09:50:33 MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
09:50:36 IT REALLY IS ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE THAT COUNCIL CREATE POLICY
09:50:39 FOR THE PLAN TO MOVE THIS CITY FORWARD TO A JUST AND
09:50:42 EQUITABLE TRANSITION TO 100% CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE FOR ALL
09:50:47 THAT OUR COMMUNITY MUST HAVE SO THAT ALL OF US LIVE IN A
09:50:50 SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT TAMPA.
09:50:52 THE MEMBERS OF THE TAMPA BAY CLIMATE ALLIANCE LOOK FORWARD
09:50:54 TO DISCUSSING THE RESOLUTION AS NOW DRAFTED WITH YOU ALL IN
09:50:57 THE NEXT TWO WEEKS TO GET YOUR INPUT ON THE DIRECTION OUR
09:51:00 CITY WILL TAKE IN THE DECADE AHEAD.
09:51:02 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:51:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:51:04 NEXT SPEAKER.
09:51:05 >>THE CLERK: THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MR. JOSEPH ROBINSON.
09:51:09 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
09:51:10 GO AHEAD.
09:51:11 >> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
09:51:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
09:51:13 GO AHEAD.
09:51:15 >> CITY COUNCIL, I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY, VERY RARELY
09:51:19 DO I COME TO CITY COUNCIL.
09:51:20 IF I'M COMING TO CITY COUNCIL, THAT'S BECAUSE I'M COMING OUT
09:51:24 OF RETIREMENT HERE BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME ISSUES.
09:51:26 THE ISSUE IS CHAPTER 26.5, THE EQUAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
09:51:31 PROGRAM.
09:51:32 I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HAVE WORKSHOPS IN THE FUTURE,
09:51:35 BUT I RECENTLY HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE.
09:51:38 JOHN BENNETT, OCEA WYNN AND GREGORY HART FROM THE EQUAL
09:51:43 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM HAVE ASSURED ME THEY WILL GET
09:51:49 IT STRAIGHTENED OUT AND THAT THEY WILL DO WHAT THEY NEED TO
09:51:52 DO TO ENFORCE AND FOLLOW CHAPTER 26.5 OF THE CITY
09:51:56 ORDINANCES.
09:51:57 ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS THIS EQUAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY ADVICE
09:52:02 COMMITTEE, WHERE SUPPOSED TO DO HAVE NINE APPOINTMENTS FROM
09:52:06 THE MAYOR, SEVEN FROM CITY COUNCIL.
09:52:08 SUPPOSED TO BE THE COMMITTEE THAT, QUOTE, OUT OF STATUTE
09:52:13 26.5-208 EQUAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO
09:52:18 REPLAY CONCERNS OF MINORITY CONTRACTORS, WOMEN CONTRACTORS,
09:52:23 NONMINORITY CONTRACTORS, AND CITIZENS AT-LARGE TO THE CITY
09:52:28 ABOUT THE OPERATION OF THIS PROGRAM.
09:52:31 I THINK THAT HAS BEEN LACKING.
09:52:33 I HAVEN'T BEEN INVOLVED WITH IT, BUT IT'S STARTING TO AFFECT
09:52:37 DEVELOPMENT.
09:52:37 WE HAVE THE WRONG SITE IN WEST TAMPA THAT'S GETTING
09:52:41 DEVELOPED.
09:52:41 YOU'RE HEARING A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT.
09:52:44 WHAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE IS THAT MINORITY BUSINESSES HAVE AN
09:52:49 OPPORTUNITY ON DEVELOPMENT IN TAMPA, AND THAT THE DEPARTMENT
09:52:52 EQUAL BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM DEPARTMENT DOES WHAT IT
09:52:57 NEEDS TO DO.
09:52:57 THEY MAY NEED TO BE LOOKED AT BECAUSE THEY MAY BE TOO SMALL.
09:53:01 THEY MAY NEED PEOPLE.
09:53:03 THEY MAY NEED REVENUE, THEY MAY NEED SOMETHING BECAUSE THEY
09:53:07 ARE NOT DEVELOPED LIKE THEY SHOULD BE.
09:53:11 THE GROWTH WITH THE PIPES PROJECT, THE PROJECTS OCCURRING,
09:53:16 THE PROJECTS THAT YOU'RE DEVELOPING AT THE CITY, WE NEED TO
09:53:21 TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT IT.
09:53:23 THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
09:53:24 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:53:25 DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE THAT'S LIVE REGISTERED SPEAKER,
09:53:29 MADAM CLERK?
09:53:30 >>THE CLERK: I WILL GO BACK TO KENTON BRADFORD TO SEE IF
09:53:34 HE'S BACK ON.
09:53:35 MR. KENTON BRADFORD, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE
09:53:38 UNMUTE YOURSELF.
09:53:40 >> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
09:53:42 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, WE CAN.
09:53:43 GO AHEAD.
09:53:45 >> MY NAME IS KENTON BRADFORD.
09:53:47 GOOD MORNING, CITY COUNCIL.
09:53:49 LET ME START WITH THREE POINTS.
09:53:55 NUMBER ONE, THE GOOD, LOVE LIVING HERE IN TAMPA.
09:53:59 WE'VE MOVED HERE IN AUGUST OF 2016.
09:54:02 I LIKE BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF WATER
09:54:05 STREET.
09:54:06 I LIKE THAT SPARKMAN WHARF HAS COME AROUND.
09:54:09 I LIKE THAT THEY ARE TURNING THIS PART OF CHANNELSIDE OF
09:54:12 DOWNTOWN INTO A VERY WALKABLE, LIVABLE AREA.
09:54:16 THAT IS THE GOOD POINT.
09:54:17 THE BAD POINT IS WHEN I MOVED HERE IN 2016, I WAS FACED WITH
09:54:21 NOISE, SINCE I'M ON THE NINTH FLOOR OF THE BUILDING AND I
09:54:26 FACE MERIDIAN FROM AT THE TIME ASIA AND FERG'S, WHICH IS
09:54:32 ACROSS FROM AMALIE ARENA.
09:54:34 AS ASIA SHUT DOWN, WE NOW HAVE PARK & REC.
09:54:38 IF YOU'VE LISTENED TO THE RESIDENTS THAT WERE UP ON THE
09:54:41 23rd AND 20th FLOOR, THE MERE FACT THAT THEY CAN HEAR
09:54:44 THE NOISE AND FEEL THE VIBRATIONS PALE IN COMPARISON TO WHAT
09:54:48 I FEEL DOWN HERE ON THE 9th FLOOR.
09:54:52 TO THE EXTENT THAT WE'VE HAD TO GO TO A WHITE NOISE MACHINE
09:54:56 IN ORDER TO GET ANY KIND OF SLEEP AND TRY TO DROWN OUT THE
09:54:59 NOISE.
09:55:00 HAD I KNOWN NOW WHAT I KNEW WHEN I MOVED HERE, AND I'VE BEEN
09:55:05 A CONDO DWELLER MOST OF MY LIFE.
09:55:07 SO I LIKE LIVING CLOSE TO EVERYTHING I CAN WALK TO.
09:55:11 I KNOW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW, I WOULD HAVE NOT BOUGHT IN
09:55:15 HERE.
09:55:15 I WOULD HAVE FOUND SOMEPLACE ELSE TO LIVE AND JUST TO BRING
09:55:20 UP ONE MORE POINT, IT'S NOT JUST THE BASS.
09:55:26 IT'S ALSO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT THERE ON THE PATIO, OR AS
09:55:29 WE WOULD SAY IN HAWAII, THE LANAI.
09:55:32 THE NOISE FROM THEIR SCREAMING -- AND I HEARD SOMEBODY
09:55:36 MENTION EARLIER ABOUT THE OBSCENITIES, YEAH, IN ADDITION TO
09:55:39 THAT, THE FOLKS THAT ARE VOMITING OVER THE BALCONY ONTO THE
09:55:43 SIDEWALK.
09:55:43 THE TRASH THAT THEY LEAVE OUT THERE.
09:55:47 PARK & REC APPARENTLY DOES NOTHING TO TRY TO CONTROL THAT.
09:55:50 THEY THINK THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS INSIDE
09:55:53 THAT BALCONY AREA AND INSIDE THE BUILDING.
09:55:57 LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MERIDIAN, MOST OF THE DRIVERS THAT COME
09:56:02 OUT HERE TREAT THAT LIKE A DRAG STRIP.
09:56:06 SOME OF THEM EVEN AT NIGHT WILL CIRCLE AROUND WITH THEIR
09:56:08 SPEAKERS GOING LOUD AND ENTICING THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE
09:56:12 AT PARK & REC TO APPLAUD THEM.
09:56:16 ANYWAY, THAT'S IT IN A NUTSHELL.
09:56:20 I DON'T NEED TO PILE ON TO EVERYBODY ELSE THAT HAS ALREADY
09:56:25 STIPULATED CERTAIN THINGS.
09:56:27 JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THAT
09:56:31 NOISE ORDINANCE.
09:56:32 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:56:33 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
09:56:34 DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE?
09:56:37 >>THE CLERK: THAT WAS THE LAST SPEAKER THAT WE HAVE LOGGED
09:56:38 ON.
09:56:39 I DO WANT TO MENTION THAT WE HAVE THREE OTHERS THAT
09:56:42 REGISTERED BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO APPEAR.
09:56:44 SANDRA SANCHEZ, ROBERT SOLOMON AND CHUCK CAVE.
09:56:49 WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PUBLIC COMMENT RECORDINGS, IF
09:56:52 YOU WOULD LIKE.
09:56:53 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GREAT.
09:56:53 BEFORE THAT, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY AT THE CONVENTION CENTER
09:56:55 JUST IN CASE BEFORE WE DO THAT?
09:56:57 >>THE CLERK: NO, WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE AT THE TAMPA
09:57:00 CONVENTION CENTER.
09:57:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE 22 RECORDED PUBLIC COMMENTS?
09:57:03 >>THE CLERK: ACTUALLY, 21.
09:57:05 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: 21.
09:57:06 ALL RIGHT.
09:57:07 LIKE TO BEGIN.
09:57:08 GO AHEAD.
09:57:08 >>THE CLERK: THANK YOU.
09:57:14 >> GOOD MORNING.
09:57:14 MY NAME IS BROOKE ERRETT CALLING FROM FOOD & WATER ACTION
09:57:17 AND FOOD & WATER WATCH AND ON BEHALF OF OUR NEARLY 5,000
09:57:22 RESIDENT MEMBERS OF TAMPA.
09:57:24 WE WANT TO THANK CITY COUNCIL FOR HEARING THE REPORT BACK
09:57:30 FROM WHIT REMER LAST WEEK AND MAKING SURE THAT THE COMMENTS
09:57:36 FROM THE PUBLIC WERE HEARD AND EXPRESSED AND THAT WE LOOK
09:57:39 FORWARD TO WORKING WITH BOTH THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND THIS
09:57:43 CITY COUNCIL AS WE MOVE FORWARD TO A 100% BY 2030 RESOLUTION
09:57:49 AND EVENTUALLY INCORPORATE ALL OF THAT INTO A CLIMATE ACTION
09:57:53 AND EQUITY PLAN TO BRING TAMPA INTO THE FUTURE.
09:57:56 I'LL KEEP IT BRIEF.
09:57:58 THANK YOU, AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.
09:58:00 BYE-BYE.
09:58:02 >> MY NAME IS AMELIA STEPH.
09:58:05 I LIVE IN THE TOWERS ON CHANNELSIDE.
09:58:07 I JUST WANT TO COMMENT ON THE NOISE LEVEL THAT PARK & REC
09:58:14 GENERATES AND ANY FUTURE NOISE DISRUPTION THAT MIGHT OCCUR
09:58:19 WELL INTO 3:00, 4:00 IN THE MORNING.
09:58:22 IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
09:58:26 I WOULD LIKE THE CITY OF TAMPA TO CREATE SOME LIMITS ON
09:58:30 NOISE POLLUTION AND NOISE LIMITS AND ENFORCE THEM.
09:58:34 IT DOES NOT BELONG IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
09:58:38 AND MY BOYFRIEND WAS BRUTALLY ATTACKED IN FRONT OF PARK &
09:58:44 REC.
09:58:45 THEY POUNDED HIS HEAD INTO THE PAVEMENT MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE
09:58:48 HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS.
09:58:49 HE HAD BLOOD ALL OVER HIS FACE.
09:58:51 HE HAD TO BE LIFTED TO THE HOSPITAL.
09:58:53 WE REGULARLY SEE FIGHTS AND AMBULANCES OUT THERE.
09:58:57 PLEASE BRING A STOP TO THIS AND SET SOME GUIDELINES AND SOME
09:59:03 RULES -- SYSTEMS TO ENFORCE THEM.
09:59:08 561-629-4372.
09:59:11 MY ADDRESS IS 449 SOUTH 12th STREET, UNIT 1403.
09:59:17 THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
09:59:18 BYE-BYE.
09:59:20 >> HI, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
09:59:21 THIS IS DR. DESAI.
09:59:23 449 SOUTH 12th STREET IN TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602, TOWERS OF
09:59:29 CHANNELSIDE IN DOWNTOWN DISTRICT.
09:59:33 THIS IS MAINLY A COMMENT REGARDING EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF
09:59:38 NOISE THAT WE FACE FROM PARK & REC WHICH SON THE FIRST FLOOR
09:59:41 -- WHICH IS ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF OUR BUILDING.
09:59:44 THERE'S LOUD CAR MUSIC.
09:59:48 THERE IS ABSOLUTE CHAOS AT NIGHT DUE TO THE CLUB AND THE
09:59:53 PARTYING GOING ON.
09:59:54 IT IS SOMETIMES UNSAFE FOR OUR KIDS TO GO OUT IN THE EVENING
10:00:04 OR WALK OUR DOGS BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT SITUATION WITH PARK
10:00:07 & REC, ESPECIALLY THE NOISE NUISANCE AND OPEN BEVERAGES THAT
10:00:13 ARE BEING SPILLED ALL OVER THE PATIO.
10:00:18 AROUND THE COMMUNITY, IT HAS DETERIORATED.
10:00:23 THE COMMUNITY IS ABSOLUTELY FRUSTRATED AND WOULD LIKE THE
10:00:25 CITY TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS.
10:00:27 I'M A PHYSICIAN WHO WORKS MANY TIMES AT NIGHT.
10:00:32 I SEE WHEN I COME HOME LATE NIGHT FROM THE HOSPITAL THAT
10:00:36 THERE'S ABSOLUTE CRAZY AMOUNT OF CROWDS, LOUD NOISE, LOUD
10:00:40 CARS.
10:00:41 THE CARS PARKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.
10:00:44 UBER, LYFT.
10:00:47 IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET INTO MY HOME BECAUSE THEY ARE
10:00:49 BLOCKING THE ROADWAY.
10:00:50 IF WE TRY TO SAY SOMETHING, THEY BECOME CONFRONTATIONAL.
10:00:55 I HOPE YOU CAN TAKE SOME ACTION TO MAKE OUR HOMES BETTER AND
10:00:58 OUR LIVES BETTER.
10:00:59 THANK YOU.
10:01:01 >> THIS MESSAGE IS IN REGARD TO THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT
10:01:04 COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA WORKSHOP.
10:01:07 MY NAME IS MICHAEL FANNING.
10:01:09 I LIVE IN TAMPA.
10:01:12 I'VE LIVED IN SOUTH TAMPA FOR 22 YEARS.
10:01:15 SOUTH OF GANDY AREA IS EXPERIENCING OUT-OF-CONTROL GROWTH.
10:01:19 LARGE APARTMENT COMPLEXES ARE BEING APPROVED IN AREAS
10:01:24 PREVIOUSLY ZONED COMMERCIAL.
10:01:25 EVEN THOUGH DEVELOPERS BUY THESE PROPERTIES, KNOWING THE
10:01:29 ZONING DOES NOT INCLUDE RESIDENTIAL, MULTIUNIT BUILDING,
10:01:33 THEY BUY CONFIDENT THEY CAN ACQUIRE REZONING APPROVAL.
10:01:36 THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH THE APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL.
10:01:40 RECENTLY, COMMUNITY OPPOSITION HAS CAUSED CITY COUNCIL TO
10:01:43 DENY THREE PROJECT REQUESTS IN A ROW.
10:01:46 ALL THREE DEVELOPERS FILED LAWSUITS AGAINST THE CITY AND IN
10:01:50 ALL THREE CASES, THE CITY COUNCIL -- ONLY LIP SERVICE TO
10:01:54 THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION WITH NO REAL OPPOSITION.
10:01:57 TAMPA IS NOW A CITY WITH NO ZONING.
10:02:01 TAMPA'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS NO LAND AT ALL.
10:02:04 IT IS IGNORED AND VIOLATED AND MIGHT AS WELL BE SCRAPPED FOR
10:02:08 IT SERVES NO PURPOSE.
10:02:09 CITY RESIDENTS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS ALLOWED AND WHAT IS
10:02:12 PROHIBITED IN REGARD TO ZONING AND VARIANCES.
10:02:17 LOTS FLOODING IN SOUTH TAMPA IS RAMPANT AND NEIGHBORHOODS
10:02:20 ARE BEING RUINED.
10:02:22 CITY COUNCIL, WHEN FACING LAWSUITS, ACT AS DIRECTED BY CITY
10:02:26 ATTORNEY AND CAPITULATE.
10:02:28 WE NEED A REAL REVIEW OF GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
10:02:31 WE NEED TO SCRAP THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND INSTITUTE AN
10:02:33 INDEPENDENT CITY COUNCIL WITH THE ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS
10:02:37 BASED ON REAL ZONING LAWS, BASED ON FUTURE NEEDS CONSIDERING
10:02:41 CLIMATE CHANGE, EVACUATION NEEDS AND POPULATION GROWTH.
10:02:45 SIMPLY LETTING BUILDERS BUILD MAY BE GOOD FINANCIALLY FOR A
10:02:49 FEW PEOPLE IN THE SHORT TERM, BUT IT'S NOT A PLAN FOR ALL OF
10:02:52 US.
10:02:55 >> THIS IS ADRIENNE SWAIN.
10:02:57 1209 EAST CUMBERLAND AVENUE, UNIT 606.
10:03:01 THIS COMMENT IS IN REFERENCE TO THE ISSUE OF THE TOWERS AT
10:03:05 CHANNELSIDE AND PARK & REC AND THE NOISES.
10:03:07 WE ARE ACTUALLY LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ON THE BACK SIDE OF TOWER
10:03:10 TWO FACING THE AQUARIUM, WE DO NOT HAVE THE SAME NOISE OR
10:03:14 VIBRATION ISSUES THAT UNFORTUNATELY A LOT OF OUR FELLOW
10:03:16 RESIDENTS IN TOWER ONE AND SOME IN TOWER TWO HAVE TO DEAL
10:03:19 WITH.
10:03:19 WE'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS PEOPLE
10:03:22 LITERALLY STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WAITING TO
10:03:25 GET IN LINE, GET IN LINE AT THE CLUB.
10:03:30 LATE ON NIGHT OR THE WEEKENDS.
10:03:31 THE PATRONS OF THE NIGHTCLUB DON'T SEEM TO CARE THEY ARE
10:03:34 BLOCKING THE STREET.
10:03:35 EVENTUALLY SOMEONE WILL GET INJURED THERE.
10:03:38 THIS TYPE OF COMMERCIAL LOCATION IS NOT SET UP FOR NOR IS IT
10:03:42 MEANT TO ACCOMMODATE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE TO
10:03:45 GET ENTRY INTO A CLUB.
10:03:46 RECENTLY, WE HAD A VERY GOOD FRIEND LOOKING AT A PARTICULAR
10:03:49 UNIT FOR SALE IN TOWER ONE AND HE HAD BEEN MONITORING THE
10:03:52 SALES PRICE OF THE UNIT.
10:03:53 WHEN IT DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY HE ASKED MY WIFE AND MYSELF
10:03:57 WHY IT WOULD HAVE DROPPED THAT MUCH AND WHY THEY WERE HAVING
10:04:01 TROUBLE SELLING IT.
10:04:01 BEING HE WAS A FRIEND, WE WERE HONEST WITH HIM AND TOLD HIM
10:04:04 THAT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS UNIT IS
10:04:06 DIRECTLY ABOVE PARK & REC AND THEREFORE NO ONE REALLY WANTS
10:04:09 TO LIVE IN IT.
10:04:10 SO WHEN PEOPLE DECIDE THEY WANT TO SELL THEIR UNITS BECAUSE
10:04:14 THEY CAN'T SLEEP TWO OR THREE NIGHTS OUT OF THE WEEK, THEY
10:04:19 ARE GOING TO HAVE TROUBLE DOING SO BECAUSE THE WORD HAS
10:04:21 GOTTEN OUT THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN TOWER ONE ABOVE
10:04:24 THE NIGHTCLUB.
10:04:26 EVEN PUTTING ASIDE THE FACT THAT PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN TOWER
10:04:26 ONE AND SOME PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN TOWER TWO CAN'T SLEEP MOST
10:04:29 WEEKEND NIGHTS -- WHICH BY ITSELF IS A HORRIBLE THING TO TRY
10:04:30 TO PUT ASIDE -- THE FACT THAT WE EVEN HAVE A NIGHTCLUB IN
10:04:32 WHAT SHOULD BE A PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL AREA IS GOING TO
10:04:36 CAUSE VALUATION ISSUES FOR EVERYONE WHO LIVES HERE AND
10:04:39 SUBSEQUENTLY THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WHOLE.
10:04:41 WE WANT TO BE CLEAR WE DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH COMMERCIAL
10:04:44 BUSINESSES OCCUPYING SPACE IN THE CHANNELSIDE AND WATER
10:04:46 STREET DISTRICT.
10:04:47 QUITE THE OPPOSITE, ACTUALLY.
10:04:48 WE SHOW THAT APPROPRIATE TYPES OF BUSINESSES WILL COMPLEMENT
10:04:51 THE LIFESTYLE THAT RESIDENTS OF THIS DISTRICT AND THE CITY
10:04:54 ARE LOOKING TO FOSTER IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:04:56 IN OUR OPINION, A BUSINESS THAT OPERATES AS A NIGHTCLUB
10:04:59 SEVERAL NIGHTS A WEEK IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE TYPE OF
10:05:01 BUSINESS TO HAVE IN THIS AREA.
10:05:02 OF COURSE, PARK & REC WILL TRY TO SAY THEY ARE NOT A
10:05:05 NIGHTCLUB BUT I'M CONFIDENT EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE
10:05:07 SITUATION, INCLUDING PARK & REC, KNOWS THAT NOT TO BE TRUE.
10:05:11 IF YOU DON'T THINK SO, FEEL FREE TO STOP BY ANY FRIDAY OR
10:05:14 SATURDAY EVENING AROUND MIDNIGHT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
10:05:16 IF YOU DO STOP BY, IMAGINE IF YOU PAY GOOD MONEY FOR A CONDO
10:05:20 DIRECTLY ABOVE ALL THAT NOISE.
10:05:21 THANK YOU.
10:05:22 I APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL'S TIME.
10:05:25 >> HELLO.
10:05:25 MY NAME IS SHELLY WOODS.
10:05:27 I LIVE AT 449 SOUTH 12th STREET IN UNIT 1004, THE TOWERS
10:05:34 OF CHANNELSIDE.
10:05:37 MY UNIT ON THE 10th FLOOR IS DIRECTLY OVER PARK & REC.
10:05:42 IT HAS BEEN A CONSTANT BURDEN.
10:05:45 THE ONLY RELIEF IS WHEN WE WERE IN QUARANTINE AND THEY HAD
10:05:50 TO SHUT DOWN.
10:05:51 IN ADDITION TO THE NOISE AND UNRULINESS OF THE PATRONS AND
10:05:56 THE HONKING OF THE HORNS AND THE YELLING AND THE FIGHTING
10:06:00 AND UBER AND RIDE -- STOPPING OUT IN FRONT OF OUR PLACE AND
10:06:06 PEOPLE LINGERING THERE ON THE SIDEWALKS, THERE'S ALSO A LOT
10:06:10 OF TRASH.
10:06:11 NOT ONLY DO THEY THROW CUPS AND BOTTLES AND BEER CANS AROUND
10:06:14 THE BASE OF OUR TOWER, THEY ALSO FIND IT FUN TO VANDALIZE
10:06:21 THE CONSTRUCTION BARRICADES AND SIGNS AS WELL AS THE
10:06:25 SCOOTERS.
10:06:28 SO THIS TYPE OF NIGHTCLUB VENUE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR A
10:06:38 RESIDENTIAL TOWER.
10:06:39 THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
10:06:40 >> TOM DORIA.
10:06:41 I LIVE IN THE TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE, 1209 EAST CUMBERLAND
10:06:45 AVENUE, UNIT 2702.
10:06:47 I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR HOLDING THIS WORKSHOP FOR THE HOURS
10:06:51 AND OPERATION AND THE DISTANCE SEPARATION.
10:06:55 WE RECENTLY LEARNED WITH PARK & REC THAT HAVING A BAR AND
10:06:58 NIGHTCLUB IN RESIDENTIAL TOWERS HAS BEEN A REAL CHALLENGE
10:07:03 FOR SEVERAL REASONS.
10:07:04 WITH ALL THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT, THE NOISE BOUNCES OFF THE
10:07:07 BUILDINGS, ESPECIALLY NEW COLLEGE, USF COLLEGE OF MEDICINE.
10:07:10 EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN TOWER TWO, I CAN STILL HEAR THE NOISE
10:07:13 IN THE EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING.
10:07:15 NEW RESIDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN COMING INTO THE AREA AND I
10:07:20 THINK WE NEED TO ADDRESS THIS NOW.
10:07:24 HERE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS I THINK IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
10:07:27 THERE'S VERY LOUD MUSIC ON THAT OUTDOOR PATIO, AND YOU CAN
10:07:31 KIND OF HEAR IT FOR BLOCKS.
10:07:33 I HEAR IT IN THE CAR DRIVING TOWARD MY HOME.
10:07:37 THE UBER AND LYFT DRIVERS WHILE I'M DRIVING, THEY ARE
10:07:42 BLOCKING TRAFFIC ON MERIDIAN AVENUE DROPPING AND PICKING UP
10:07:47 CUSTOMERS WHO ARE JUST WAITING.
10:07:49 COMPLETE LACK OF SOCIAL DISTANCING, AND I OBSERVED MANY
10:07:53 TIMES WHERE IT'S GROUP OF PEOPLE.
10:07:56 VERY LONG LINES.
10:07:58 WRAPPED AROUND OUR BUILDINGS HERE WAITING TO GET IN.
10:08:05 IT'S VERY DISCOURAGING.
10:08:08 I DO REALIZE WE WANT BUSINESS, AND THAT'S GREAT FOR OUR
10:08:11 COMMUNITY, OUR CITY, BUT I THINK THIS IS MORE OF A
10:08:17 RESIDENTIAL TYPE OF AREA, NIGHTCLUB TYPE OF DISTRICT.
10:08:23 HOWARD AVENUE.
10:08:26 I WOULD APPRECIATE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO CONSIDER MAKING
10:08:31 THIS NOISE SOMEWHAT LESS INTRUSIVE.
10:08:34 I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
10:08:35 AND AGAIN, THANK YOU.
10:08:37 >> HARRIET BRANTNER, 449 SOUTH 12th STREET, UNIT 2502,
10:08:43 TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602.
10:08:46 AND THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE UPCOMING OCTOBER 22nd
10:08:51 MEETING, THE TAMPA CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP ON ALCOHOLIC
10:08:54 BEVERAGES AND NOISE.
10:08:55 AND WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS IN THAT CHANNELSIDE
10:09:00 DISTRICT WITH THE NOISE FROM THE BARS THAT ARE THERE.
10:09:05 MY FEELING IS THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.
10:09:09 IT IS MOSTLY RESIDENTIAL IN THERE NOW, ESPECIALLY AT 3:00 IN
10:09:13 THE MORNING WHEN YOU'RE HEARING ALL THAT LOUD NOISE AND
10:09:17 YELLING AND SCREAMING FROM DOWN STAIRS IT WAKES EVERYBODY
10:09:21 UP.
10:09:22 SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE CHECK INTO IT AND CHANGE THE REZONING
10:09:28 IF IT NEEDS TO BE REZONED OR PERHAPS THE NOISE ORDINANCE
10:09:33 ITSELF, IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
10:09:37 THANK YOU.
10:09:38 >> MY NAME IS GERTY DESHOTRY.
10:09:41 I LIVE IN 1209 EAST CUMBERLAND AVENUE IN THE TOWER 2.
10:09:45 THIS IS FOR AGENDA NUMBER 11 FOR DOWNTOWN NOISE.
10:09:49 I DON'T FEEL THAT PARK & REC SHOULD BE LOCATED UNDERNEATH
10:09:52 THE RESIDENTIAL AREA.
10:09:53 ALSO, THE NOISE IS JUST BEYOND LOUD, TILL 2, 3 IN THE
10:09:59 MORNING, WHICH IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THIS AREA.
10:10:02 I FEEL THAT THERE'S A LOT OF ROWDINESS IN THIS AREA BECAUSE
10:10:06 OF THE PARK & REC, SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE, OR HAVE A LIMIT
10:10:11 TO MAYBE 11:00 AND THEN SHUT THE PREMISES DOWN.
10:10:16 THANK YOU.
10:10:19 >> HI.
10:10:20 MY NAME IS IDINA DYER.
10:10:22 I LIVE IN THE TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE, UNIT 1501 IN TOWER 2.
10:10:29 I'VE LIVED HERE SINCE 2014.
10:10:32 OUR RESIDENTS HAD CONSTANT NOISE COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES WITH
10:10:38 PATRONS OF ASIA.
10:10:39 ONCE THEY CLOSED, WE ENJOYED PEACE AND QUIET FOR ABOUT A
10:10:41 YEAR.
10:10:42 PARK & REC OPENED IN OCTOBER OF 2019, AND ONCE AGAIN, WE
10:10:46 HAVE RESIDENTS WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO SLEEP DUE TO THE NOISE.
10:10:50 SINCE THE USF BUILDING WAS COMPLETED AND OTHER BUILDINGS ARE
10:10:57 UNDER CONSTRUCTION, THE NOISE REVERBERATIONS HAVE
10:11:01 SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED AS IT ECHOS BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS.
10:11:05 I FEEL IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO GET A MORE RESTRICTIVE AND
10:11:08 ENFORCED NOISE ORDINANCE IN PLACE.
10:11:12 THE APARTMENT TOWERS AND THE ADDITION, FIRST FIVE-STAR HOTEL
10:11:17 WHICH ALSO HAS PRIVATE RESIDENCES, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO
10:11:24 ESTABLISH A BALANCE BETWEEN LIVE, WORK, AND PLAY FOR
10:11:28 EVERYONE'S QUIET ENJOYMENT.
10:11:31 I HAVE PROVIDED KAREN COX WITH A VIDEO OF LAST FRIDAY
10:11:37 EVENING, ACTUALLY SATURDAY MORNING AT 2 A.M., WHEN I WAS
10:11:40 AWAKENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT BY NOISE FROM, I'M
10:11:46 ASSUMING, PATRONS OF PARK & REC, JOINING IN THE PARKING LOT
10:11:52 AS THEY DISPERSED.
10:11:54 AND I WAS AWAKENED FROM A DEAD SLEEP BY ALL THE NOISE FROM
10:11:59 STEREOS IN THE CARS.
10:12:02 AND I PROVIDED THE VIDEO OF THAT FROM INSIDE MY ROOM AND
10:12:08 THEN I STEPPED OUT ON MY BALCONY AND YOU CAN HEAR HOW LOUD
10:12:12 IT WAS.
10:12:12 I HOPE THIS HELPS COMING TO A CONCLUSION OF WHAT THE NOISE
10:12:18 ORDINANCE SHOULD BE FOR A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY.
10:12:21 THANKS SO MUCH.
10:12:25 >> THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO 11 ON THE AGENDA.
10:12:28 MY NAME IS MARILYN DALEY.
10:12:30 MY FAMILY AND I HAVE LIVED AT THE TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE
10:12:33 SINCE 2011.
10:12:35 I AM ALSO A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
10:12:37 OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CHANNELSIDE DISTRICT OF TAMPA HAS
10:12:39 EVOLVED INTO A BEAUTIFUL RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH ANOTHER 3,000
10:12:44 SOON TO BE ADDED UNITS BY THE YEAR END 2021-22.
10:12:48 WE NOW HAVE A MEDICAL SCHOOL AND SHORTLY WE WILL HAVE A
10:12:52 SUPERMARKET, UPSCALE RESTAURANTS AND STORES TO COMPLETE OUR
10:12:55 NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:12:57 CLUB OPEN TILL 2:30 IN THE MORNING SIX DAYS A WEEK BRINGS AN
10:13:01 UNPLEASANT ELEMENT TO THE MIX.
10:13:04 LOUD MUSIC THAT ROCKS THE BUILDING, BEDS, YELLING, FIGHTS
10:13:07 WHICH REQUIRE THE POLICE TO INTERVENE, TRASH LEFT AROUND THE
10:13:10 AREA OF THE CLUB, PATRONS OF THE CLUB, WE NEED TO CHANGE IN
10:13:14 THE NOISE ORDINANCE TO A LOWER LEVEL AND RESTRICTIONS ON
10:13:17 HOURS OF NOISE AND MUSIC.
10:13:19 WE ALL HAVE A RIGHT TO A PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT AND TO ENJOY
10:13:23 OUR HOMES.
10:13:23 THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME.
10:13:25 BYE-BYE.
10:13:28 >> MY NAME IS STEVE GERSTEN.
10:13:32 449 SOUTH 12th STREET, UNIT 1702, TAMPA, FLORIDA, WHICH IS
10:13:37 TOWER ONE OF THE TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE.
10:13:42 I AM CALLING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT ITEM NUMBER 11 ON THE
10:13:48 AGENDA.
10:13:48 I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROBLEMS
10:13:53 THAT THE DOWNTOWN AREA IS HAVING IN CHANNELSIDE AND WILL
10:13:57 CONTINUE TO HAVE AS THE AREA GROWS.
10:14:00 I BELIEVE THE MOST IMPORTANT -- ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
10:14:03 AREAS OF THE CITY COUNCIL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESIDENTS
10:14:07 OF CHANNELSIDE AREA AND DOWNTOWN ARE SAFE AND LIVE IN AN
10:14:13 ENVIRONMENT THAT'S COMFORTABLE.
10:14:15 YOU CAN WALK YOUR DOG, TAKE A WALK WITH YOUR WIFE OR CHILD
10:14:18 OR GIRLFRIEND, WHATEVER IT MAY BE AND SIGNIFICANT OTHER AT
10:14:22 ANY TIME AND FEEL SAFE.
10:14:24 RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH EXCESSIVE NOISE.
10:14:30 FOR EXAMPLE, PARK & REC, AND THEIR NOISE IS BOUNCING OFF THE
10:14:34 BUILDINGS THAT ARE BEING BUILT AS MORE BUILDINGS ARE BEING
10:14:38 BUILT, IT WILL ADD TO THE DISCOMFORT OF ALL THE RESIDENTS
10:14:41 THAT LIVE HERE.
10:14:42 THE SOUND IS EXTREMELY LOUD.
10:14:45 IT VIBRATES.
10:14:46 IT VIBRATES WINDOWS.
10:14:48 IT VIBRATES DOORS.
10:14:50 YOU HEAR THE BASS INTO YOUR APARTMENTS AND CONDOS IN THE
10:14:55 AREA.
10:14:57 THERE'S AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WITHOUT SOCIAL
10:14:59 DISTANCING OR WEARING MASKS.
10:15:01 MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE YOUNG 18 TO 25 CROWD.
10:15:07 THERE ARE SOMETIMES HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS IN LINE OR ON THE
10:15:12 BALCONY.
10:15:14 IT IS A VERY BIG NUISANCE AND HAS CHANGED THE QUALITY OF
10:15:18 LIFE IN THE CHANNELSIDE AND DOWNTOWN AREA THAT WILL ONLY GET
10:15:22 WORSE.
10:15:23 ALSO, WHAT A WASTE OF RESOURCES.
10:15:26 THERE ARE SO MANY CALLS THAT WE MAKE TO THE TAMPA POLICE
10:15:29 DEPARTMENT, TO CODE ENFORCEMENT, TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, CITY
10:15:33 COUNCIL OFFICE, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, ET CETERA.
10:15:37 AND THIS HAS TO HAVE SOME RULES AND REGULATIONS.
10:15:41 THERE ARE EXAMPLES OF RESTAURANTS, SO-CALLED BARS IN THE
10:15:45 COMMUNITY, LIKE DISTRICT TAVERN, THAT IS MORE OF A COMMUNITY
10:15:49 LOCATION.
10:15:49 THEY DO PLAY MUSIC.
10:15:51 THEY DON'T PLAY IT VERY LOUD.
10:15:52 THEY DON'T PLAY IT VERY LATE AT NIGHT.
10:15:55 AND IT'S A COMMUNITY AREA.
10:15:56 SAME THING WITH THE RULES FOR SPARKMAN WHARF.
10:16:00 THE MUSIC STOPS AT A VERY REASONABLE TIME, AND THEY SHUT
10:16:03 DOWN THE ACTIVITY.
10:16:04 THE SAME THING WITH THE STARSHIP.
10:16:07 YOU DON'T HEAR ROCK MUSIC AT 2:00 OR 1:00 IN THE MORNING
10:16:10 POUNDING OUR WINDOWS BECAUSE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
10:16:15 CHANGE THE RULES TO PROTECT ALL THE RESIDENTS IN THE
10:16:17 CHANNELSIDE AND DOWNTOWN AREAS.
10:16:19 WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT RESTAURANTS AND BARS STAY OUT VERY
10:16:24 LIGHT MORE LIKE CLUBS AND BARS CAN'T BE THERE UNTIL 2:00,
10:16:28 3:00 IN THE MORNING.
10:16:29 >> GOOD MORNING, CITY COUNCIL.

10:19:41 >> THIS IS CAROL KIRSCHBOUND, 449 SOUTH 12th STREET, UNIT
10:19:48 903, TOWER ONE.
10:19:50 MY COMMENT IS IN REGARD TO THE DECIBEL LEVELS IN THE
10:19:55 CHANNELSIDE DISTRICT.
10:19:56 I HAVE LIVED AT THE TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE FOR OVER 12 YEARS.
10:20:01 THERE ARE MANY MORE SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN HERE NOW THAN IN THE
10:20:06 PAST.
10:20:07 CURRENTLY, I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF TWO
10:20:11 RESIDING HERE FULL-TIME WHO ARE IMPACTED BY THE NIGHTLY
10:20:16 NOISE LEVEL RISING UPWARD FROM PARK & REC, MAKING IT VERY
10:20:22 DIFFICULT TO FALL ASLEEP, EVEN WITH THE USE OF NOISE
10:20:27 WHITEOUT DEVICE.
10:20:29 THE CONTINUOUS SOUNDS AND VIBRATION FROM THE MUSIC AND THE
10:20:33 ROWDINESS OF THE EXITING CROWDS ALONG WITH AMPLIFIERS FROM
10:20:38 CARS BLARING AT CLOSING, AWAKEN US SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK,
10:20:44 CONTINUING FOR UP TO 45 MINUTES, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO
10:20:49 FALL BACK TO SLEEP.
10:20:50 AS WITH MANY OTHER RESIDENTS HERE, WE NEED TO BE UP AND
10:20:54 MOVING AT 6:30 A.M., AND THAT BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT
10:20:59 WITH THE PERSISTENT NIGHTLY AWAKENING THAT INTERFERES WITH
10:21:04 OUR SLEEP PATTERN.
10:21:04 THE TOWERS IS HOME TO MANY MORE WORKING PEOPLE, INCLUDING A
10:21:07 GOOD PERCENTAGE THAT PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE AT TAMPA GENERAL
10:21:10 HOSPITAL.
10:21:11 ADEQUATE REST FOR THEM IS ESSENTIAL AS WELL.
10:21:15 WITH THE CURRENT WATER STREET PROJECT, WE ANTICIPATE A
10:21:19 MASSIVE INCREASE IN OUR IMMEDIATE RESIDENTIAL POPULATION.
10:21:24 THE NIGHTLY NOISE LEVELS WILL SOON IMPACT MANY MORE LOCAL
10:21:28 CITIZENS LIVING HERE.
10:21:30 I URGE YOU TO TAKE ACTION NOW TO LOWER THE MAXIMUM DECIBEL
10:21:34 LEVELS PERMITTED FOR CHANNELSIDE DISTRICT, GIVEN THE RISING
10:21:38 RESIDENTIAL POPULATION TO ENSURE PEACEFUL, HEALTHY,
10:21:42 DESIRABLE PLACE TO LIVE MOVING FORWARD.
10:21:44 THANK YOU.
10:21:47 >> HI.
10:21:48 MY NAME IS CAMERON McNABB.
10:21:50 I'M CALLING IN REGARDS TO THE WORKSHOP ON THURSDAY MORNING
10:21:55 ABOUT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE TAMPA BAY AREA.
10:21:58 I AM A FOURTH GENERATION TAMPA NATIVE.
10:22:02 HALF MY FAMILY, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL CIGAR FAMILIES HERE.
10:22:05 THE OTHER HALF HAVE BEEN BUSINESS OWNERS SINCE THE 1930s
10:22:09 IN THE AREA.
10:22:10 I NOW HAVE A LITTLE GIRL, AND SHE'S FIFTH GENERATION.
10:22:13 I GREW UP IN CULBREATH BAYOU AND NEW SUBURB BEAUTIFUL, AND
10:22:18 IT WAS MORE SO IN THE LATTER WHERE I SAW SO MUCH GROWTH,
10:22:23 UNCHECKED GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT AT SUCH THAT LIKE
10:22:26 PARTICULARLY ALONG HOWARD AND SOHO AREA, JUST IN MY
10:22:31 CHILDHOOD TO TEENAGE YEARS, THE AREA WENT FROM BEING REALLY,
10:22:37 REALLY FAMILY FRIENDLY TO HOWARD BECAME DANGEROUS, CROWDED,
10:22:44 SO MUCH TRAFFIC.
10:22:45 AND THEN AS THE BARS STARTED COMING IN, THERE WOULD BE DRUNK
10:22:49 PEOPLE ON OUR LAWN OR DRUNK PEOPLE WANDERING DOWN PROSPECT
10:22:53 OR MORRISON AND THE AREA CHANGED A LOT.
10:22:58 THEN I LIVED IN A SMALL APARTMENT CLOSER TO BAYSHORE UNTIL
10:23:02 MY DAUGHTER WAS BORN, AND I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL COMFORTABLE
10:23:07 WALKING HER ON BAYSHORE, PARTICULARLY NOW THAT WE'VE HAD
10:23:10 FOUR DEATHS IN THREE YEARS -- IN TWO YEARS ON THAT STREET.
10:23:14 JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE A FAMILY FRIENDLY PLACE OR A SAFE
10:23:20 PLACE.
10:23:20 HIGH-RISES WENT UP.
10:23:22 TRAFFIC GOES UP.
10:23:23 TREES DISAPPEAR.
10:23:25 AND IT JUST WAS -- IT WASN'T A GOOD PLACE FOR US.
10:23:29 WE WERE FORCED TO MOVE OUT OF THERE.
10:23:32 I'M CURRENTLY LOOKING TO BUY A HOME IN SOUTH TAMPA SOMEWHERE
10:23:37 FOR US TO LIVE.
10:23:39 AND I'M PRICED OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT I GREW UP IN,
10:23:44 WHICH WERE MORE JUST UPPER MIDDLE CLASS AND NOW ARE
10:23:48 DEFINITELY OUT OF REACH.
10:23:51 THERE'S JUST A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT'S DRIVEN THE PRICES
10:23:54 UP AND A LOT OF TRAFFIC THAT HAS MADE OTHER AREAS JUST NOT
10:23:59 GOOD FOR FAMILIES, NOT GOOD FOR SCHOOLS, NOT GOOD TO WALK TO
10:24:05 SCHOOL.
10:24:06 NOWHERE TO BIKE.
10:24:07 NO FRIENDLY BIKE LANES.
10:24:09 I'M VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
10:24:11 MY FAMILY HAS INVESTED SO MUCH IN TAMPA, AND FOUR OF THOSE
10:24:14 GENERATIONS, INCLUDING MY DAUGHTER, STILL LIVE HERE, BUT ALL
10:24:18 OF US ARE IN DIFFERENT WAYS KIND OF STRUGGLING WITH WHAT'S
10:24:22 GOING ON.
10:24:24 AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TAMPA WILL LOOK LIKE FOR MY DAUGHTER,
10:24:28 WHETHER WE WILL EVEN BE ABLE TO BE HERE AS SHE'S GROWING UP.
10:24:33 I REALLY ASK THAT THE COUNCIL CONSIDER CITIZENS WHO HAVE
10:24:36 BEEN HERE AND WHO WANT TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES.
10:24:40 THANK YOU.
10:24:42 >> HELLO.
10:24:42 MY NAME IS NINETTE HARDY.
10:24:44 I'M AN OWNER AT THE TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE, 1209 EAST
10:24:48 CUMBERLAND AVENUE, UNIT 508, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602.
10:24:53 THIS IS REGARDING AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 11, NOISE DOWNTOWN FOR
10:24:58 A CITY COUNCIL MEETING SLATED FOR 10/22/2020.
10:25:02 I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO TOWER ONE RESIDENTS' COMPLAINTS ABOUT
10:25:06 PARK & REC TOTAL DISREGARD OF CITY ORDINANCES REGARDING
10:25:09 CONTINUOUS NOISE, TRASH AND UNRULY AND OFTENTIMES THE
10:25:13 BEHAVIOR OF PATRONS.
10:25:14 IT IS TOTALLY UNAPPEALING AND FRIGHTENING AT TIMES TO BE
10:25:17 EVEN NEAR PARK & REC DURING WEEKEND AVENUES WHEN THE
10:25:20 CUSTOMERS ARE AT THEIR WORSE.
10:25:22 TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE IS NOT A FRAT HOUSE.
10:25:24 IT IS A RESIDENCE, AND THE FACT THAT THE OWNERS OF PARK &
10:25:26 REC -- ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND MANAGE THE NOISE, TRASH, AND
10:25:29 BEHAVIOR IS UNACCEPTABLE.
10:25:33 HOW WOULD THEY LIKE IT IF WE WENT TO THEIR HOME AND STARTED
10:25:38 PARTYING ON THEIR FRONT YARD UNTIL 3 A.M.?
10:25:40 DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION ACROSS THE STREET, THE SOUND NOW
10:25:42 BOUNCES OFF THE BUILDINGS AND ECHOS BACK TO THE UNITS OF THE
10:25:45 TOWERS, ADDING TO AGGRAVATION AND NOISE LEVEL.
10:25:47 THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WE NEED TO MANAGE THE NOISE.
10:25:50 PLEASE KEEP DOWNTOWN THRIVING CHANNELSIDE DISTRICT VIBRANT
10:25:54 BUT ALSO SAFE FOR RESIDENTS WHO MADE AN INVESTMENT IN THIS
10:25:56 AREA AND ARE SLOWLY WATCHING IT DENIGRATE INTO A LOUD,
10:26:00 TRASHY, AND SOMETIMES DANGEROUS PLACE TO WALK AND LIVE.
10:26:03 LET'S KEEP IT UPLIFTED FOR FUTURE GUESTS VISITING US FOR
10:26:08 GASPARILLA AND THE SUPER BOWL IN 2021.
10:26:11 THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
10:26:12 NINETTE HARDY, TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE OWNER, TOWER 2, UNIT
10:26:20 508.
10:26:20 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:26:21 >> YES, MY NAME IS TY FRAYNER.
10:26:26 602 CHANNELSIDE DRIVE, TAMPA, 33602.
10:26:30 I'M CALLING ON ITEM 11 FOR OCTOBER 22nd, 9 A.M.
10:26:35 WE ARE RIGHT BESIDES PARK & REC, WHICH IS ON MERIDIAN.
10:26:45 AND MY COMPLAINTS ARE THAT THEY HAVE NO DELIVERY POINT
10:26:49 WHATSOEVER, SO THEY BLOCK WITH BIG BEER TRUCKS AND EVERY
10:26:54 OTHER KIND OF FOOD DELIVERY TRUCK, BIG 18-WHEELER TRUCKS,
10:26:59 THEY BLOCK 12th STREET, WHICH IS THE STREET THAT BACKS UP
10:27:03 BEHIND PARK & REC.
10:27:05 IT IS A TWO-LANE ROAD.
10:27:06 THERE IS A NO-PARKING SIGN THERE.
10:27:08 THE OTHER NO-PARKING SIGN HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN, AND THEY
10:27:12 COMPLETELY BLOCKED THE ONE HALF OF THAT STREET.
10:27:15 ONLY A TWO-LANE ROAD AND THEY BLOCKED ONE LANE OF IT.
10:27:18 SOMETIMES TWO, THREE, FOUR DIFFERENT TRUCKS ALL PARKED ALONG
10:27:22 THERE.
10:27:23 AND THEY DELIVER BEER AND FOOD AND WHATNOT TO PARK & REC,
10:27:30 COMPLETELY TAKEN USE OF THE STREET, AT LEAST HALF OF IT,
10:27:36 AWAY FROM PEOPLE THAT ARE TRAVELING.
10:27:39 AS FAR AS ALCOHOL RELATED AND NOISE, WE ARE HOME SLEEPING
10:27:44 WHEN THE PARK & REC ARE MAKING ALL THE NOISE AT NIGHT.
10:27:49 BUT WE SEE THE EFFECTS OF IT THE NEXT MORNING WHERE PEOPLE
10:27:52 HAVE URINATED IN OUR PARKING LOT ON OUR PROPERTY, WHICH THEY
10:27:56 HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
10:27:59 BUILDING AND GO IN THROUGH NO PARKING SIGN AND FENCED AREA,
10:28:04 PRIVATE PROPERTY.
10:28:05 AND ALSO, THEY HAVE NOT ONLY URINATED IN THERE, BUT ALSO
10:28:12 LEFT FECES IN THERE.
10:28:16 SO I JUST DON'T THINK THEY HAVE ANY RIGHT TO BE THERE.
10:28:19 THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL AND BUSINESS-TYPE AREA.
10:28:24 IF THEY HAD SOME DELIVERY POINT FOR THE NIGHTCLUB, THAT
10:28:28 WOULD BE ONE THING.
10:28:29 BUT THEIR CHOICES ARE TO BLOCK 12th STREET, WHICH THEY ARE
10:28:32 DOING NOW, OR TO STOP TRAFFIC ON MERIDIAN STREET, AT LEAST
10:28:37 ONE LANE OF IT, IT WOULD BE NORTHBOUND ON MERIDIAN STREET.
10:28:42 MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO BE
10:28:46 THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND MY CONCERN IS THAT THEY ARE
10:28:52 NOTHING BUT A HAZARD TO EVERYBODY LIVING AROUND THERE, AND
10:28:56 ALSO CARRYING OVER TO EVERYBODY WORKING AROUND THERE THE
10:28:58 NEXT DAY.
10:28:59 THE MEDICAL SCHOOL IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, AND IT'S JUST
10:29:05 NOT A PLACE.
10:29:07 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:29:08 THIS IS TY TRAINER.
10:29:09 813-229-1912.
10:29:15 >> AGENDA ITEM 11, DOWNTOWN NOISE.
10:29:18 CITY COUNCIL MEETING 10/22/2020.
10:29:22 SPEAKER LAWRENCE DOUGLAS HARDY, OWNER TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE.
10:29:26 1209 EAST CUMBERLAND AVENUE, UNIT 508, TAMPA, FLORIDA,
10:29:32 33602.
10:29:34 I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THE OTHER TOWERS RESIDENTS MANIFEST
10:29:38 COMPLAINTS ABOUT PARK & REC AND THE FLOUTING OF OUR CITY
10:29:43 ORDINANCE.
10:29:43 THEY ARE A LOUD AND TROUBLESOME NUISANCE TO EVERYONE WHO
10:29:46 LIVES AND WORKS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:29:47 THE NOISE THEY CREATE IS WELL KNOWN TO ALL WHO LIVE IN BOTH
10:29:51 OF OUR TOWER CONDOS AND OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE CHANNELSIDE
10:29:54 DISTRICT.
10:29:55 ALSO, DUE TO THE ROBUST CONSTRUCTION ACROSS THE STREET IN
10:29:58 CHANNELSIDE, THE SOUND FROM PARK & REC NOW BOUNCES OFF THE
10:30:01 NEW BUILDING AND REVERBERATES IT BACK TO US AT THE TOWERS,
10:30:06 EXACERBATING THE AGGRAVATION AND NOISE LEVEL.
10:30:10 ALSO, THE TRASH ALWAYS LEFT BEHIND IN FRONT OF PARK & REC IS
10:30:14 A DETRIMENT AND EYESORE TO ANY PERSON OUT FOR EARLY MORNING
10:30:18 EXERCISE OR A WALK IN OUR CHANNELSIDE DISTRICT.
10:30:21 -- ACTIONS OF ARROGANCE SO FAR, THE OWNERS OF PARK & REC ARE
10:30:27 NOT SERIOUS AT ALL AT -- THE LOUD, OBNOXIOUS AND HELLACIOUS
10:30:31 ENVIRONMENT THEY HAVE CREATED FOR US ALL.
10:30:33 I'M SURE IN THE VERY NEAR FEATURE, WHEN THE 815 WATER STREET
10:30:37 APARTMENTS OPEN LATER THIS YEAR, THERE WILL BE A LARGER AND
10:30:39 MORE VOCIFEROUS OUTCRY AGAINST THIS PLAGUE ON US ALL WHO
10:30:45 LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL AND DYNAMIC SECTION OF DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
10:30:47 PARK & REC IS A BLATANT HOOKUP CONCEPT.
10:30:50 IT SHOULD BE LOCATED NEAR UT OR FURTHER OUT IN OUR CITY.
10:30:54 ITS VERY PRESENCE IN OUR MIDST LOWERS THE VALUE WE PLACE ON
10:30:57 OUR PROPERTIES AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THOSE OF US WHO LIVE
10:31:01 IN THE CHANNELSIDE DISTRICT.
10:31:02 THE NEGATIVE IMPACT PARK & REC ROUTINELY DISPLAYS IS AN
10:31:07 ACTUAL BLIGHT ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:31:09 THE TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE IS NOT A RETIREMENT HOME.
10:31:16 IT IS HOME TO A DYNAMIC MIXTURE OF PROFESSIONALS YOUNG AND
10:31:18 OLD WHO DESIRE HEALTHIER AND MORE HIGHLY INVOLVED ATMOSPHERE
10:31:23 FOR US ALL TO LIVE AND THRIVE IN.
10:31:25 THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN HEARING OUT OUR COMPLAINTS, WHICH
10:31:27 ARE ONLY BEGINNING, AS ALL OUR RESIDENTS IN THE AREA REALIZE
10:31:31 THE DETRIMENTAL IMPACT PARK & REC HAS ON ALL OUR PROPERTY
10:31:35 VALUES.
10:31:35 THE CITY OF TAMPA IS HOSTING THE SUPER BOWL EARLY NEXT YEAR.
10:31:42 DOESN'T IT BENEFIT US ALL TO RELOCATE THIS LOUD --
10:31:44 DISRUPTIVE ESTABLISHMENT TO AN AREA THAT DOESN'T TARNISH
10:31:50 TAMPA'S BURGEONING REPUTATION.
10:31:51 BEST, LAWRENCE DOUGLAS HARDY, OWNER, TOWER 2.
10:31:54 THANK YOU.
10:31:55 NAME LAWRENCE DOUGLAS HARDY.
10:31:59 ADDRESS 1209 EAST CUMBERLAND AVENUE, UNIT 508, TAMPA,
10:32:06 FLORIDA 33602, OWNER, PROPERTY IN CHANNELSIDE, TOWER 2, UNIT
10:32:13 508.
10:32:15 AGENDA ITEM 11.
10:32:16 NOISE DOWNTOWN.
10:32:17 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR 10-22-2020.
10:32:22 I WOULD LIKE TO ADD LIKE THE OTHER TOWER RESIDENTS OF
10:32:24 COMPLAINTS OF PARK AND REC'S NOISE.
10:32:26 >> MY NAME IS LIGELL GARY. I LIVE AT 1209 EAST CUMBERLAND
10:32:30 AVENUE, UNIT 2702, TAMPA, FLORIDA.
10:32:33 AND I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON AGENDA ITEM 11 RELATED TO
10:32:38 CHAPTER 14 IN THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE OF ORDINANCES.
10:32:42 I AM ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE,
10:32:46 HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, AND FIRST THANK YOU FOR THE WORKSHOP
10:32:48 TO ADDRESS NOISE AND HOURS OF OPERATION AS WELL AS DISTANCE
10:32:49 SEPARATION.
10:32:52 HAVING A BAR AND NIGHTCLUB IN ONE OF OUR RESIDENTIAL TOWERS,
10:32:57 FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE OF HOW IMPORTANT THESE ISSUES ARE TO OUR
10:33:00 RESIDENTS OF CHANNELSIDE, BOTH CURRENT AND FUTURE.
10:33:03 WITH 420 NEW APARTMENTS COMING LIVE IN THE SPRING OF 2021,
10:33:07 MORE THAN TWICE THAT NUMBER WITHIN 18 TO 24 MONTHS, IS GOING
10:33:11 TO BE A LARGE ADDITION TO AND MAY BE A DETERRENT TO SOMEONE
10:33:16 LIVING IN DOWNTOWN, WATERS STREET, CHANNELSIDE.
10:33:19 I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT WE
10:33:21 HAVE SEEN TODAY, AT PARK AND REC IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
10:33:25 AMPLIFIED MUSIC ON AN OUTDOOR PATIO THAT CAN BE HEARD FOR
10:33:29 BLOCKS UNTIL 2 A.M.
10:33:30 VIBRATIONS TO RESIDENTS IN THE BUILDING TO THE VERY SAME
10:33:33 MUSIC UNTIL 2 A.M.
10:33:35 LONG LINES OF PEOPLE WAITING TO GET IN THAT WRAP AROUND THE
10:33:38 CORNER.
10:33:38 COMPLETE LACK OF SOCIAL DISTANCING.
10:33:42 TRASH ON SIDEWALKS SURROUNDING THE BUILDING.
10:33:45 THE FIGHTS AND EVEN AN ASSAULT ON ONE OF OUR RESIDENTS
10:33:48 WALKING HIS DOG.
10:33:49 UBER, LYFT DRIVERS BLOCKING TRAFFIC ON MERIDIAN TO DROP OFF
10:33:54 CUSTOMERS.
10:33:54 I AM SURE I FORGOT A FEW.
10:33:56 AND I WANT CITY COUNCIL TO KNOW WE ARE NOT BEING
10:33:58 UNREALISTIC.
10:34:00 BUSINESS IS GOOD.
10:34:00 IT'S ACTUALLY GREAT FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
10:34:02 BUT THERE SHOULD BE RESTRICTIONS AS TO HOURS OF OPERATION
10:34:04 AND NOISE.
10:34:05 HAVING THIS AREA ZONED AS YBOR IS NO LONGER AN OPTION.
10:34:10 OUR CONDOMINIUMS RANGE FROM 375,000 TO OVER $2 MILLION.
10:34:15 WE HAVE 243 CONDOS IN OUR COMPLEX. OUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE
10:34:17 CITY OF TAMPA PROPERTY TAX BASE IS MEASURABLE.
10:34:20 WE ARE ALSO FAMILIAR THAT YOU HAVE MADE CHANGES USING WEST
10:34:23 FRANKLIN STREET AS AN EXAMPLE.
10:34:26 WE SINCERELY ASK THAT YOU MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGES TO
10:34:29 PROTECT OUR INVESTMENT IN DOWNTOWN AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO
10:34:32 DO THE SAME.
10:34:33 THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
10:34:34 >>THE CLERK: CHAIR, THAT CONCLUDES THE PUBLIC COMMENT
10:34:39 PORTION OF THE AGENDA.
10:34:40 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:34:43 ALL RIGHT.
10:34:44 WE NOW GO TO ITEM NUMBER 2.
10:34:55 POLICE CHIEF BRIAN DUGAN WITH THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT.
10:35:03 DO WE HAVE CHIEF DUGAN ON THE LINE?
10:35:05 >>THE CLERK: I DO SEE CHIEF DUGAN LOGGED ON.
10:35:11 HE JUST HAS TO UNMUTE HIMSELF.
10:35:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CHIEF, IF YOU CAN UNMUTE YOURSELF.
10:35:21 CHIEF DUGAN.
10:35:22 >>CHIEF DUGAN: GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
10:35:26 BRIAN DUGAN, CHIEF OF POLICE.
10:35:30 WE HAVE A FEW SLIDES FOR YOU THAT WE ARE GOING TO JUMP RIGHT
10:35:34 INTO, ANNUAL BIKE REPORTS.
10:35:44 IF I CAN GET THE FIRST ONE.
10:35:50 THERE.
10:35:51 OKAY.
10:35:52 SO THE FIRST SLIDE IS OUR TOTAL CALLS FOR SERVICE.
10:35:59 SO YOU CAN SEE THIS IS FROM OCTOBER OF 2019 TO SEPTEMBER OF
10:36:04 2020.
10:36:05 SO WE HAD OVER 613,000 CALLS FOR SERVICE.
10:36:10 AND THE NUMBER OF BICYCLE STOPS IS ABOUT 2.22% OF ALL OF THE
10:36:16 ACTIVITY THAT TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT DOES.
10:36:18 SO I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT IT SHOWS EXACTLY WHAT
10:36:26 A SMALL FACTION OF THE ACTIVITY OF THE TAMPA POLICE
10:36:28 DEPARTMENT.
10:36:29 WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NEXT SLIDE OF LAST YEAR VERSUS THIS
10:36:32 YEAR, AND OUR TOTAL CALLS FOR SERVICE ARE DOWN, I WOULD
10:36:36 ATTRIBUTE THAT DUE TO THE COVID.
10:36:38 BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF TRAFFIC STOPS.
10:36:48 BECAUSE BICYCLE STOPS ARE CONSIDERED A TRAFFIC STOP. WE HAD
10:36:48 ABOUT 47,000 TRAFFIC STOPS FOR THIS TIME FRAME, AND 1,340 OF
10:36:53 THEM WERE BIKE STOPS.
10:36:56 AND OUT OF THE TOTAL TRAFFIC STOPS, I'M JUST UNDER 3% OF
10:37:01 WHAT WE DO.
10:37:08 THE NEXT SLIDE WILL SHOW YOU THE NUMBER OF CITATIONS FROM
10:37:11 LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR.
10:37:12 LAST YEAR WE HAD 43 CITATIONS.
10:37:14 THIS YEAR WE HAVE GIVEN 46 CITATIONS.
10:37:18 OF THE 46 CITATIONS THAT WE HAVE ISSUED ON BICYCLES, 22 WERE
10:37:24 CRASH RELATED.
10:37:26 SO 24 ARE ACTUAL STOPS OF PEOPLE ON BICYCLES.
10:37:29 OF THOSE 24 STOPS, 17 HAVE BEEN NO BIKE LIGHTS.
10:37:40 WE HAVE DONE 248, ALMOST 250 LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED.
10:37:47 THE DEMOGRAPHICS FOR THE CITATIONS WERE 18 AFRICAN
10:37:54 AMERICANS, 13 HISPANICS AND 14 WHITE PEOPLE.
10:37:59 YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF WARNINGS WE GAVE OUT AND THE
10:38:02 NUMBER OF ARRESTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE OFF, IF YOU LOOK AT
10:38:05 THE RIGHT SIDE, YOU WILL SEE THAT THAT IS THE YEAR THAT I AM
10:38:10 LOOKING AT IS 2019 TO 2020.
10:38:20 THE NEXT SLIDE IS AN OVERVIEW OF OUR CRIME MAPS AND THE
10:38:24 BICYCLE STOPS.
10:38:24 IF YOU LOOK AT THE GREEN BOX, THOSE ARE THE NUMBER OF
10:38:27 BICYCLE STOPS PREDOMINANTLY AS THEY ARE HAPPENING, AND THE
10:38:31 BACK DROP, THE COLOR GRID IS WHERE SOME OF OUR CRIME IS.
10:38:42 AND THAT IS ALL I HAVE.
10:38:44 SO I WILL OPEN THE FLOOR, MR. CHAIRMAN, TO ANY QUESTIONS.
10:38:48 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:38:49 ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CHIEF?
10:38:50 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. CHAIR, IF I MAY.
10:38:56 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, COUNCIL MEMBER CITRO.
10:38:57 YES, SIR.
10:38:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO: CHIEF DUGAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS
10:39:01 REPORT.
10:39:06 THE ADMINISTRATION HAS INFORMED US THAT THEY ARE MOVING
10:39:09 TOWARDS THE OPEN PLATFORM FOR STRATEGIC PERFORMANCE DATA
10:39:15 THIS YEAR.
10:39:17 IS THIS TYPE OF REPORTING GOING TO BE ON THAT PLATFORM?
10:39:21 >>CHIEF DUGAN: YES.
10:39:22 THAT IS OUR GOAL TO GET THAT DONE.
10:39:24 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SO THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION WILL BE
10:39:27 AVAILABLE NOT ONLY TO CITY COUNCIL BUT FOR THE TAMPA
10:39:32 CITIZENS ON ITS 24/7 BASIS?
10:39:35 >>CHIEF DUGAN: YES.
10:39:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THEN MR. CHAIR, IF YOU DO NOT MIND, IF I
10:39:44 ENTERTAIN A MOTION THAT SAYS THAT THIS DATA WILL NOW BE 07
10:39:48 ON THE CITY WEBSITE ON THE GOV PLATFORM SO THAT NEXT YEAR
10:39:53 THIS REPORT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY UNLESS CITY COUNCIL
10:39:58 SPECIFICALLY ASKS FOR IT?
10:40:07 MR. CHAIR?
10:40:14 MR. CHAIR?
10:40:15 >> EVIDENTLY WE LOST HIM.
10:40:21 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
10:40:23 GO AHEAD.
10:40:27 THIS IS MARTIN SHELBY.
10:40:29 MAY I ASK, IS THAT A RHETORICAL QUESTION OR ARE YOU
10:40:34 ENTERTAINING A MOTION?
10:40:36 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THAT'S PERMISSIBLE
10:40:38 AT THIS TIME BY THE CHAIR.
10:40:39 I'M ASKING HIS PERMISSION.
10:40:41 >>MARTIN SHELBY:
10:40:42 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD SO WE
10:40:44 KEEP THE MEETING MOVING, IF THIS IS YOUR MOTION.
10:40:47 WHO ELSE CHIMED IN TO SPEAK?
10:40:49 I HEARD SOMEBODY ELSE'S VOICE.
10:40:50 IS IT CARLSON?
10:40:52 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DINGFELDER.
10:40:52 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:40:59 GO AHEAD.
10:40:59 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
10:41:02 CHIEF, THANKS FOR THIS PRESENTATION.
10:41:07 I HAVE A QUESTION ON THIS LAST SLIDE 5 OF 10.
10:41:18 AND GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT 1, 2 AND 3.
10:41:23 CAN WE GO OVER THAT IN MORE DETAIL?
10:41:26 >>CHIEF DUGAN: OUR BIG FIVE OFFENSES ARE WHAT WE ARE MOSTLY
10:41:30 CONCERNED ABOUT, BECAUSE IT TRULY AFFECTS THE QUALITY OF
10:41:33 LIFE.
10:41:33 SO IT'S AGGRAVATED ASSAULTS WHICH INCLUDE PEOPLE BEING SHOT
10:41:37 AT, FIREARMS, KNIVES, ROBBERIES, BURGLARIES, OUR AUTO
10:41:43 BURGLARIES AND AUTO THEFT.
10:41:46 AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THE SHADING, IF IT'S RED, IT'S 43 OR
10:41:52 MORE OF THOSE TYPE OF OFFENSES.
10:41:54 THE YELLOW OR THE ORANGE IS 32 TO 42 AND THE YELLOW IS 21 TO
10:42:01 31.
10:42:02 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHAT'S THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A BIKE
10:42:04 STOP AND -- IS THIS A BIKE STOP THAT'S SPECIFICALLY RELATED
10:42:09 TO A SUSPECT RIDING A BIKE WHO IS SUSPECTED OF COMMITTING
10:42:15 ONE OF THOSE FIVE?
10:42:22 >>CHIEF DUGAN: I BELIEVE IF YOU RECALL YOU HAD ASKED LAST
10:42:25 YEAR FOR US TO SHOW YOU WHERE THE CRIME IS AND WHERE THE
10:42:28 BIKE STOPS ARE.
10:42:29 SO THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO SHOW, IS ON A MAP OF WHERE
10:42:33 THE ACTUAL BIKE STEPS ARE HAPPENING.
10:42:35 AND THEN WE OVERLAY IT ON CRIME.
10:42:38 NOW, THE ISSUE IS, IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS, THEIR MODE OF
10:42:42 TRANSPORTATION A LOT OF TIMES CRIME IS ON A BIKE AND THAT'S
10:42:49 THE IMPORTANT PART.
10:42:50 I HAVE SOME EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES,
10:42:53 AGGRAVATED ASSAULT, WHILE RIDING A BIKE, AND SHOOTING AT
10:42:58 PEOPLE.
10:42:59 WE HAD ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING, 1602 EAST NORTH NEW ORLEANS
10:43:05 WHERE SOMEBODY CAME UP ON A BIKE, TRIED TO SNATCH A KID, AND
10:43:09 WE HAD 29 -- 1209 SENECA.
10:43:13 WE HAD A FIREARM THERE WHERE THEY STARTED SHOOTING AT
10:43:18 SOMEONE'S CAR.
10:43:19 WE HAVE HAD BURGLARIES IN DREW PARK.
10:43:21 PEOPLE ON BICYCLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
10:43:25 SO THAT'S ALL WE ARE TRYING TO SHOW, THE GREEN DOTS INDICATE
10:43:28 WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE BIKE STOPS HAPPEN.
10:43:31 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:43:40 ANYBODY ELSE?
10:43:41 >>BILL CARLSON: YES, THIS IS CARLSON.
10:43:43 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: A QUICK FOLLOW-UP.
10:43:45 I'M SORRY, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:43:46 I UNDERSTAND THE MAP BETTER NOW.
10:43:48 THE GREEN DOTS ARE OVERLAID ON TOP OF THE YELLOW AND THE RED
10:43:51 TO SHOW WHERE THE CRIME IS.
10:43:53 MR. CITRO, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT ON YOUR PROPOSED
10:43:59 MOTION.
10:44:01 I THINK IT'S HELPFUL TO COUNCIL TO SEE THIS INFORMATION
10:44:07 EVERY YEAR.
10:44:08 I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARY -- FOR ANY TPD OFFICER MAKE THE
10:44:11 PRESENTATION.
10:44:12 SO I KNOW WE HAVE A STANDING REQUEST THAT EVERY YEAR THIS
10:44:17 INFORMATION BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL.
10:44:19 I THINK IF WE CAN JUST GET A WRITTEN REPORT AND THE GRAPHIC
10:44:24 EACH YEAR WITHOUT THE ACTUAL IN-PERSON REPORT, I WOULD BE
10:44:31 HAPPY WITH THAT.
10:44:33 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:44:34 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:44:35 ANYBODY ELSE?
10:44:35 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AGREE WITH BOTH MR. CITRO AND MR.
10:44:40 DINGFELDER.
10:44:41 REGARDING THE ITEM.
10:44:43 I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS AT COUNCIL'S REQUEST.
10:44:46 I THINK THEY HAVE SHOWN WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
10:44:49 ALSO, THAT IT'S DONE IN A MANNER THAT IT'S ON FILE AND GO TO
10:44:57 THE INTERNET ON A DAILY BASIS.
10:44:59 IT'S UPDATED 365 DAYS A YEAR, I ASSUME.
10:45:02 SO THEREFORE I THINK WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW, IF MR.
10:45:06 DINGFELDER IS CORRECT, AND I AM SURE HE IS, REGARDING THE
10:45:10 END OF THE YEAR WE HAVE A COMPOSITE OF WHAT'S HAPPENED A I
10:45:15 AGREE WITH BOTH MR. CITRO AND MR. DINGFELDER.
10:45:17 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:45:19 COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
10:45:20 >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU.
10:45:22 I WILL STRONGLY VOTE AGAINST THE MOTION WITH RESPECT TO MR.
10:45:28 CITRO.
10:45:29 I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT THERE WILL BE AN OPEN DATA LIKE THIS
10:45:34 TO BE PUT ON LINE, BUT YOU ALL REMEMBER THAT THIS REPORT IS
10:45:41 A RESULT OF RACIST POLICIES BY THE LAST ADMINISTRATION, EVEN
10:45:48 THOUGH THEY WERE ASKED ONLY TO DO A PROCESS ANALYSIS, NOT A
10:45:51 FULL CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATION.
10:45:54 STILL THE LAST ADMINISTRATION INFORM PREACHING CIVIL RIGHTS,
10:45:57 AND THE COMMUNITY -- IF SOMETHING DOESN'T COME BEFORE US, IT
10:46:04 DOESN'T NECESSARILY PROVIDE THE TRANSPARENCY THAT THE
10:46:07 COMMUNITY WANTS.
10:46:08 AND IF THIS POLICY BY THE LAST ADMINISTRATION IS A CAUSE OF
10:46:14 A LOT OF THE PROTESTS THAT WE HAVE NOW, THE ATTITUDE AND
10:46:17 CULTURE BUILT AROUND IT IS A RESULT OF MANY OF THE
10:46:20 COMPLAINTS THAT THE HUMAN RIGHTS, CIVIL RIGHTS HAS.
10:46:23 I THINK IT'S ESSENTIAL THAT WE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THIS.
10:46:26 IT'S NOT COMFORTABLE FOR US TO LOOK AT IT BECAUSE NOW
10:46:28 WHATEVER THE NUMBERS, NOT THE LAST ADMINISTRATION, BUT WE
10:46:34 HAVE TO MONITOR THAT AND BE PUBLIC ABOUT IT AND IF THE
10:46:36 NUMBERS ARE GOOD AND BETTER THAN BEFORE, AND WE SHOW IT
10:46:40 HAPPENED, I THINK THE POLICE CHIEF PRESENTED FOR TWO OR
10:46:42 THREE MINUTES, AND IT'S NOT THAT MUCH OF A BURDEN OTHER THAN
10:46:46 THIS LONG DISCUSSION ABOUT NOT PRESENTING.
10:46:48 SO I MAY BE THE ONLY VOTE AGAINST IT, BUT I FEEL VERY
10:46:51 STRONGLY THAT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE TRANSPARENT, NOT
10:46:55 JUST POSTING ONLINE BUT ALSO TO PRESENT FOR THE PUBLIC TO
10:46:58 SEE.
10:46:58 THANK YOU.
10:46:59 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:47:00 ANYBODY ELSE?
10:47:01 >>ORLANDO GUDES: CHAIR?
10:47:06 I AM GOING TO HAVE TO AGREE WITH MR. CARLSON.
10:47:09 THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE VERY UPSET IF WE DON'T BRING THIS
10:47:12 BACK EVERY YEAR.
10:47:15 IT'S GREAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE IT ON THE WEBSITE, FOR THE
10:47:23 COMMUNITY, WHAT TRANSPIRED.
10:47:27 I THINK COME BACK AND MAKE A ONE OR TWO-MINUTE PRESENTATION,
10:47:32 I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO HURT, AND SHOW TRANSPARENCY.
10:47:38 IT'S ALSO VERY GOOD, BUT I CAN'T SUPPORT THE NOTION,
10:47:43 ESPECIALLY MY DISTRICT, IF I WENT ALONG WITH THAT MOTION.
10:47:47 SO I WILL DECLINE THAT MOTION.
10:47:48 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:47:50 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:47:50 ANYBODY ELSE?
10:47:55 ALL RIGHT.
10:47:56 HEARING NONE, COUNCILMAN CITRO, YOU HAVE A MOTION.
10:47:59 DO WE HAVE A SECOND TO THE MOTION?
10:48:00 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. CHAIR, IF I MAY.
10:48:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
10:48:04 >>JOSEPH CITRO: AFTER HEARING SOME OF THE OTHER COUNCIL
10:48:06 MEMBERS, I WILL AGREE THAT A WRITTEN REPORT, AN ANNUAL
10:48:13 WRITTEN REPORT, BUT, HOWEVER, THIS IS GOING TO BE A 24/7
10:48:21 ACCUMULATION OF THESE REPORTS DAILY ANYTIME FOR THE PUBLIC
10:48:30 TO SEE.
10:48:30 SO I WILL AMEND MY MOTION TO SAY A ONCE-A-YEAR REPORT IS
10:48:34 STILL NEEDED BUT IT SHOULD BE WRITTEN, BUT IT WILL BE
10:48:36 WRITTEN AND NOT AN IN-PERSON REPORT.
10:48:39 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MR. CHAIR, MIRANDA AGAIN.
10:48:46 IF YOU WILL RECALL, I SAID EARLIER THAT THE DAILY REPORT,
10:48:49 BUT AT THE END YOU HAVE A COMPOSITE OF ALL THE DAILY REPORTS
10:48:52 THAT ARE SUBMITTED TO THE COUNCIL 365 DAYS.
10:48:58 SO I DON'T HAVE A MOTION BUT I WOULD SUSPECT THE MAKER AND
10:49:04 WHOEVER IS GOING TO BE THE SECOND THAT THIS REPORT COMES IN
10:49:06 ON A DAILY BASIS, WHICH IS EVEN MUCH SHORTER, IF WE SEE A
10:49:11 PROBLEM OCCURRING THAN WHAT WE HAVE NOW, BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE
10:49:15 TO JUST GET A REPORT, WHATEVER WE'LL HAVE THREE MONTHS, SIX
10:49:19 MONTHS OR A YEAR.
10:49:20 BUT THIS IS A DAILY REPORT THAT COMES ON THE COMPUTER AND
10:49:22 TELLS US WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THAT INSTANT
10:49:27 OF TIME.
10:49:27 AND THIS IS ABOUT TIME FOR THE COMMUNITY.
10:49:29 INSTEAD OF WAITING A YEAR OR SIX MONTHS OR THREE MONTHS TO
10:49:32 FIND OUT, WE ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT IT IN THE PERIOD OF
10:49:35 TIME WHEN IT HAPPENS.
10:49:37 AND AT THE END OF THE YEAR, YOU GET A COMPOSITES OF
10:49:43 EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED FOR 365 DAYS A YEAR.
10:49:46 I THINK IN ALL DUE RESPECT TO EVERYONE, I THINK THAT THIS
10:49:49 REPORT WILL ENHANCE SOMETHING THAT MAY BE GOING AWRY ON THE
10:49:57 WRONG SIDE OF JUSTICE.
10:49:59 EVERYTHING THAT MEETS THE CRITERIA THAT THIS COUNCIL AND
10:50:01 THIS CITY HAS SET, AND WE WILL BE BETTER OFF LONG-TERM BY
10:50:05 SEEING ON A DAILY BASIS RATHER THAN ONCE A YEAR OR ONCE
10:50:09 EVERY SIX MONTHS.
10:50:10 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:50:11 ANYBODY ELSE?
10:50:11 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:50:14 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, COUNCILMAN GUDES.
10:50:15 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I DO AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
10:50:20 HE IS RIGHT, A DAILY BASIS IS RIGHT, WHAT WE MIGHT BE
10:50:23 FACING.
10:50:24 BUT I JUST KIND OF BELIEVE THE SITUATION THAT DID OCCUR IS
10:50:29 UNFORTUNATE, AND A REPORT MADE BY THE CHIEF IS BETTER.
10:50:37 JUST MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION.
10:50:43 I RESPECT THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS.
10:50:45 AND THEY ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE ANNUAL.
10:50:50 I JUST THINK WHAT TRANSPIRED, THE CHIEF OF POLICE DID GIVE A
10:50:55 COUPLE OF MINUTES ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHAT HAPPENED.
10:50:58 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT, ANYBODY ELSE?
10:51:02 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN.
10:51:06 NOT TO BELABOR THE POINT.
10:51:07 BUT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO MR. CITRO, I AGREE WITH YOU, BUT
10:51:12 THEN MR. CARLSON AND MR. GUDES WERE -- I WILL BE VOTING WITH
10:51:18 THEM AT LEAST FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
10:51:20 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:51:27 I WITHDRAW MY MOTION.
10:51:29 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
10:51:30 ANYBODY ELSE?
10:51:35 OKAY.
10:51:36 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:51:36 ITEM NUMBER 3.
10:51:44 ITEM NUMBER 3 REGARDING THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT
10:51:47 DEVELOPMENT DESIGN STANDARDS.
10:51:48 >>CAROLE POST: ADMINISTRATOR FOR DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC
10:51:54 OPPORTUNITY.
10:51:56 I BELIEVE WE WERE GOING TO SHIFT THE ORDER OF SOME OF THE
10:52:00 FORTHCOMING ITEMS RELATIVE TO THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP
10:52:03 ITEMS.
10:52:03 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
10:52:05 >>CAROLE POST: I APPRECIATE THE ACCOMMODATION AND I CAN
10:52:18 GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF A BACK STORY FOR THAT.
10:52:20 WE WOULD LIKE TO START WITH ACTUALLY THE LAST ITEM, ITEM
10:52:24 NUMBER 14, WHICH WAS AN ADD-ON ITEM, THE ADMINISTRATIVE TEXT
10:52:30 AMENDMENT FOR THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
10:52:37 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
10:52:38 >>CAROLE POST: AND I APPRECIATE THAT ACCOMMODATION.
10:52:40 AS YOU SEE, WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF PRESENTATIONS IN RESPONSE
10:52:43 TO A NUMBER OF MOTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE OVER TIME.
10:52:48 SOME OF THOSE ARE INITIATIVES MOVING FORWARD, AND SOME ARE
10:52:53 ACTUALLY IN SUPPORT OF STRATEGIC INGENUITY PRIORITIES.
10:52:58 SO I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITIES TO SHIFT THOSE.
10:53:01 THE CLERK'S OFFICE HAS THE REORDER IN PLACE.
10:53:05 AND IT WILL ALLOW US TO BUNDLE SOME OF THE RELATED SUBJECTS
10:53:09 TOGETHER, AND ALSO ADDRESS SOME OF THE MATTERS IN ORDER OF
10:53:14 COMPLEXITY.
10:53:15 SOME OF THE ITEMS WILL GET PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED
10:53:19 INDIVIDUALLY AS IN THE NEXT TWO ITEMS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
10:53:22 TEXT AMENDMENT, THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
10:53:25 BUT OTHERS PRESENTED IN A COLLECTIVE MANNER WITH RESPECT TO
10:53:30 GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
10:53:31 SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD, I'M HAPPY TO JUST CLARIFY THE
10:53:35 APPROACH WE ARE GOING TO TAKE BEFORE EACH ONE SO THAT WE CAN
10:53:39 EASILY HAVE THE COUNCIL AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC FOLLOW
10:53:41 ALONG.
10:53:42 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
10:53:45 GO AHEAD.
10:53:46 >>CAROLE POST: THANK YOU.
10:53:47 I APPRECIATE IT.
10:53:48 MAY I JUST DO A SOUND CHECK FOR A COUPLE OF MEMBERS?
10:53:51 THEY HAD SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES BEFORE WE STARTED.
10:53:54 IS ANDREA ZELMAN ON?
10:54:01 ANDREA, ARE YOU ON?
10:54:03 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: YES, I AM.
10:54:04 AND I AM SORRY, WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH OUR VISUAL.
10:54:10 AUDIO.
10:54:11 >>CAROLE POST: IS LACHONE DOCK AVAILABLE?
10:54:16 LACHONE?
10:54:26 WE WILL COME BACK TO LACHONE.
10:54:28 I APOLOGIZE.
10:54:29 WE HAVE FOLKS IN A FEW DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.
10:54:31 SO LET ME JUST PROCEED THEN WITH AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 14 WHICH
10:54:35 WILL BE ON NUMBER 3 IN PRESENTATIONS.
10:54:38 AND THIS IS ADMINISTRATIVE TEXT AMENDMENT FOR LAND
10:54:41 DEVELOPMENT CODE.
10:54:42 SO IF WE CAN HAVE THE PRESENTATION FOR NUMBER 3.
10:54:47 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:54:47 AND I WILL BE PRESENTING THIS WITH ANDREA ZELMAN.
10:54:51 SO WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE, IF WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE,
10:54:55 PLEASE, THIS REFLECTS ESSENTIALLY THE FIRST STEP OF MANY
10:54:59 THAT WILL BEGIN TO MAKE CHANGES WITHIN OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT
10:55:02 CODE TO ALIGN IT WITH OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND THE NEEDS
10:55:07 OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS.
10:55:09 THE BACKGROUND OF THIS RELATES TO OUR MAYOR'S ADVISORY TEAMS
10:55:14 THAT CONVENED OVER THE SUMMER AND INTO THE FALL.
10:55:17 ALL OF THOSE TEAMS CAME BACK WITH A HOST OF RECOMMENDATIONS,
10:55:22 BUT SEVERAL OF THEM INCLUDED RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAD TO DO
10:55:24 WITH CHANGES TO OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
10:55:26 WE COLLECTED ALL OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS, AND WE COMBINED
10:55:31 THEM WITH RECOMMENDATIONS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN COLLECTED
10:55:36 FOR PROBABLY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK, MANY THAT CAME FROM
10:55:40 THE CITY COUNCIL DIRECTLY AND OTHERS THAT CAME FROM
10:55:44 RESIDENTS, NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS, DEVELOPERS, AND THOSE THAT
10:55:47 INTERACT WITH OUR CITY CODE REGULARLY.
10:55:50 WHAT WE DID THEN IS WE ACTUALLY CONDUCTED A PRETTY
10:55:54 COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT TO ASSESS EACH RECOMMENDATION AND
10:55:59 EACH REQUEST AND PUT THOSE TOGETHER INTO A COMPREHENSIVE
10:56:04 REPORT.
10:56:05 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:56:07 AND THIS IS -- THE NEXT SLIDE WILL REFLECT WHERE JUST A
10:56:12 SNAPSHOT OF THE WAY WE WENT ABOUT ADDRESSING THIS, BECAUSE
10:56:16 TO LOOK AT THE REQUIREMENTS AND CONTEXT OF THIS MATTER, AND
10:56:22 COLOR CODE THEM, THE PIE CHART, SO WE HAVE A PERCENTAGE OF
10:56:25 MATTERS RELATIVE TO WHETHER THEY CONCERN ZONING OR DESIGN OR
10:56:31 MOBILITY OR NOTICE REQUIREMENTS, AND IN FACT THE LARGEST PIE
10:56:37 SQUARES THERE ALMOST 50% HAVE TO DO WITH ADMINISTRATIVE
10:56:42 MATTERS AND THOSE THINGS THAT HAVE SIMPLY BECOME ILLOGICAL
10:56:45 OR OBSOLETE AN THAT'S WHAT WE ARE ADDRESSING TODAY.
10:56:48 NEXT SLIDE.
10:56:49 BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY REQUIREMENTS AND REQUESTS THAT
10:56:52 CAME OUT OF THIS COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT, WE ARE GOING TO
10:56:54 ADDRESS IT IN AT LEAST FOUR PHASES.
10:56:57 SOME OF THIS MAY EVOLVE OVER TIME, BUT TODAY IS PHASE 1-A.
10:57:01 THIS IS FOCUS DOLLARS ON ADMINISTRATIVE CLEAN-UP MATTERS,
10:57:05 AND THOSE THINGS WE ARE CORRECTING ERRORS, CONFLICTS,
10:57:09 UNIFYING SOME PROCEDURAL ASPECTS.
10:57:11 THESE ARE THINGS THAT FRANKLY WERE JUST A BIT OF AN IRRITANT
10:57:14 TO PEOPLE.
10:57:15 IF ANYTHING, AND WERE CERTAINLY CONFUSING AT SOME POINT.
10:57:19 AS WE MOVE AHEAD IN TIME, PARTICULARLY INTO 2021 AND BEYOND,
10:57:23 WE WILL BEGIN TO GET PROGRESSIVELY MORE COMPLEX.
10:57:27 PHASE 17-B LOOKS AT SO OF THE CHANGES IN USE AND LOOKS AT
10:57:32 SOME OF OUR PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND REORGANIZING THINGS
10:57:34 FOR, AGAIN, EASE AND SIMPLIFICATION.
10:57:38 PHASE 2 AND 3 BECOME MORE PROGRESSIVELY COMPLEX, GETTING
10:57:42 INTO DESIGN CODE AMENDMENTS, SOME OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
10:57:47 ASPECTS AND SO ON.
10:57:48 SO WITHOUT GOING INTO THOSE DETAILS, THOSE THINGS WILL BE
10:57:50 LAID OUT IN MUCH MORE DETAIL AS WILL BE PRESENTED TODAY, BUT
10:57:55 THE MESSAGE HERE IS TO KNOW THAT THERE IS MUCH WORK TO DO TO
10:57:59 HAVE OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE CLEANED AND MODERNIZED AND
10:58:03 ALIGNED WITH OUR PRIORITIES, AND TODAY IS STEP 1.
10:58:06 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
10:58:09 THERE ARE 13 ITEMS THAT WILL BE PRESENTED.
10:58:13 I AM NOT GOING THROUGH THESE IN DETAIL.
10:58:16 THE FONT IS WAY TOO SMALL.
10:58:17 BUT WE DO HAVE ONE SLIDE FOR ITEMS THAT WE WILL TAKE YOU
10:58:21 THROUGH VERY QUICKLY.
10:58:22 THESE ARE FAIRLY CUT AND DRY ITEMS BUT WE DO WANT TO ENSURE
10:58:26 THAT COUNCIL AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC CAN SEE EACH OF THE
10:58:29 13 ITEMS IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING FOR CHANGES
10:58:35 IMMEDIATELY ON THE IMMEDIATE HORIZON.
10:58:37 WITH THAT I AM GOING TO TURN OVER TO ANDREA ZELMAN FROM OUR
10:58:41 LAW DEPARTMENT.
10:58:42 SHE HAS BEEN AUTHOR OF THIS ORDINANCE AND CAN WALK US
10:58:45 THROUGH EACH OF THESE 13 ITEMS VERY QUICKLY.
10:58:47 ANDREA?
10:58:48 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
10:58:50 ANDREA ZELMAN, DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY.
10:58:53 IF YOU COULD GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.
10:58:54 AS CAROL MENTIONED, WE TOOK THIS STEP FIRST BECAUSE YOUR
10:59:00 CODE, I WANTED TO ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THIS PROVISION LATER.
10:59:03 YOUR CODE LIMITS CHAPTER 27 CHANGES TO TWO CYCLES PER YEAR.
10:59:09 HOWEVER, THERE'S AN EXCEPTION FOR THINGS THAT ADDRESS
10:59:13 INCONSISTENCIES WITHIN THE CODE AND WITH OTHER CHAPTERS AND
10:59:16 PROCEDURALLY, SO WE COULD MOVE MORE QUICKLY ON THESE TYPES
10:59:21 OF CHANGES.
10:59:23 ALTHOUGH AS YOU NOTICE, NOTHING IS QUICK.
10:59:25 ANY CHANGE TO CHAPTER 27 REQUIRES HEARINGS AT THE PLANNING
10:59:28 COMMISSION FIRST, AND THEN A WORKSHOP, AND THEN BEFORE IT
10:59:33 CAN COME TO COUNCIL.
10:59:34 BUT AGAIN, THIS WAS THE LOW-HANGING FRUIT THAT WE WANTED TO
10:59:38 ADDRESS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
10:59:41 AND WHILE THESE CHANGES SEEM VERY MINOR IN NATURE, AND MANY
10:59:45 OF THEM ARE, SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY DO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
10:59:48 IMPACT ON BOTH THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND THE FOLKS IN
10:59:52 THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT PAY ATTENTION TO ZONING.
10:59:55 SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE FIRST ONE, WE FOUND WHEN WE WENT
10:59:59 THROUGH THE CODE THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF INCONSISTENCY WITH
11:00:02 REGARDS TO NOTICE.
11:00:05 FOR CERTAIN APPLICATIONS, APPLICANTS HAVE TO SEND MAIL
11:00:08 NOTICE BUT NOT POST A SIGN.
11:00:10 FOR OTHERS THEY HAVE TO POST A SIGN BUT NOT SEND MAIL
11:00:13 NOTICE.
11:00:13 AND THEN FOR OTHERS THEY HAD TO DO ALL THREE.
11:00:16 WE MADE IT UNIFORM AND REQUIRED THE SAME NOTICE FOR
11:00:19 EVERYTHING.
11:00:21 I THINK THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR AN APPLICANT TO AVOID THE
11:00:24 POSSIBILITY OF MISNOTICING.
11:00:26 IT ALSO IS MORE FAIR TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THEY HAVE CERTAIN
11:00:30 EXPECTATIONS THAT IF THEY SEE A SIGN GO UP IN THEIR
11:00:34 NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY WILL TYPICALLY THEN GET SOMETHING IN THE
11:00:37 MAIL, OR IF THEY GET SOMETHING IN THE MAIL, THEY KNOW WHERE
11:00:39 THE PROPERTY IS, BECAUSE THERE'S A SIGN THERE, AND THIS WAY
11:00:43 IT'S ALL UNIFORM.
11:00:44 I THINK THAT'S BETTER FOR EVERYONE.
11:00:47 NEXT SLIDE.
11:00:50 AGAIN, THIS IS THE TYPE OF THING THAT CAN CAUSE HEADACHES
11:00:53 FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS, AND THAT IS THE CODE
11:00:58 RIGHT I KNOW.
11:00:59 SOMETIMES SAYS CALENDAR DAYS, SOMETIMES SAYS WORKING DAYS,
11:01:04 SOMETIMES SAYS CITY WORKING DAYS.
11:01:06 SO AGAIN, TO AVOID CONFUSION AND THEN CONSISTENCY, WE
11:01:12 CHANGED EVERYTHING TO CALENDAR DAYS, AND WHERE WE HAD TO, WE
11:01:15 ADJUST THIS IN TIME PERIODS TO ADJUST THAT.
11:01:19 NEXT SLIDE.
11:01:22 ANOTHER THING THAT WE NOTICED WAS THAT THROUGHOUT CHAPTER
11:01:25 27, SOMETIMES IT REFERRED TO THE DEPARTMENT, SOMETIMES IT
11:01:29 REFERRED TO PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT, SOMETIMES IT REFERRED
11:01:31 TO TPD.
11:01:34 WE CHANGED EVERYTHING TO SIMPLY SAY THE DEPARTMENT.
11:01:36 WE ADDED A DEFINITION FOR THE DEPARTMENT.
11:01:39 AND AS ONE OF THE REASONS WE DID THIS IS THE CITY HAS A
11:01:42 TENDENCY TO SOMETIMES CHANGE DEPARTMENT NAMES, AND WE DIDN'T
11:01:45 WANTS TO HAVE TO GO BACK AND AMEND THE CODE EVERY TIME THAT
11:01:49 HAPPENED.
11:01:49 AND AS YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, TPD WAS IN FACT
11:01:54 CHANGED TO DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
11:01:56 SO THIS IS A TIMELY CHANGE THAT WE ARE PROPOSING.
11:02:02 NEXT SLIDE.
11:02:03 AS SOME OF YOU WILL RECALL, A FEW YEARS AGO CHAPTER 27 --
11:02:08 YES, CHAPTER 27 WAS AMENDED TO INCORPORATE CHAPTER 13, WHICH
11:02:13 USED TO BE A STAND-ALONE TREE AND LANDSCAPE CODE.
11:02:16 HOWEVER, WE FOUND THAT CHAPTER 27 STILL HAS A LOT OF
11:02:21 REFERENCES TO CHAPTER 13, WHICH AGAIN CREATES CONFUSION FOR
11:02:25 ALL THE USERS OF THE CODE.
11:02:27 SO WE WENT BACK AND CLEANED THAT UP TO REFER TO THE CORRECT
11:02:31 CODE SECTION.
11:02:33 NEXT SLIDE.
11:02:36 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, I THINK YOU HAD EXPRESSLY ASKED FOR
11:02:39 THIS PARTICULAR CHANGE, AND THAT IS APPLICANTS REQUESTING
11:02:44 REVIEW HEARINGS BEFORE COUNCIL ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A DVD
11:02:49 OF THE PRIOR HEARING.
11:02:52 THAT'S COSTLY AND UNNECESSARY BECAUSE NOWADAYS ALL THE
11:02:58 HEARINGS ARE AVAILABLE, RECORDINGS OF THEM, I SHOULD SAY,
11:03:02 ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE.
11:03:03 SO THERE'S REALLY NO NEED FOR ANYONE TO CREATE DVDS.
11:03:07 SO, AGAIN, WE ARE CHANGING THE CODE TO REMOVE THAT
11:03:11 REQUIREMENT.
11:03:12 NEXT SLIDE.
11:03:17 THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS RAISED BY THOSE INVOLVED WITH THE
11:03:20 VARIANCE REVIEW BOARD.
11:03:21 THEY WERE THE ONLY BOARD THAT REQUIRED FOUR VOTES TO TAKE
11:03:26 ACTION.
11:03:26 ALL THE OTHER SIMILAR BOARDS SIMPLY REQUIRE A SIMPLE
11:03:31 MAJORITY.
11:03:32 THAT FOUR PERSON REQUIREMENT WAS CREATING PROBLEMS AND
11:03:36 DELAYS FOR A LOT OF APPLICANTS.
11:03:39 SO WE JUST CHANGED -- WE ARE PROPOSING TO CHANGE THE CODE TO
11:03:42 MAKE IT CONSISTENT WITH ALL THE OTHER CODES AND JUST REQUIRE
11:03:45 A SIMPLE MAJORITY FOR ACTION.
11:03:47 NEXT SLIDE.
11:03:52 THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS RECOMMENDED BOTH BY THE
11:03:56 DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND THE STAFF, AND THAT IS RIGHT NOW
11:03:59 IN YOUR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS,
11:04:04 ALL APPLICANTS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT TOP-GRAPHIC SURVEYS
11:04:09 AND TREE SURVEYS.
11:04:11 THAT MAKES SENSE NO CASE WHERE SOMEONE IS BUILDING A NEW
11:04:14 BUILDING OR EXPANDING UPON AN EXISTING BUILDING, BUT IN A
11:04:18 SITUATION WHERE THERE'S ALREADY AN EXISTING BUILDING, SAY A
11:04:22 RESTAURANT WHICH NOW DESIRES TO SERVE WINE AND BEER, THERE'S
11:04:26 NO REASON THEY SHOULD HAVE TO SUBMIT A TREE SURVEYOR
11:04:30 TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY WHICH CAN BE VERY COSTLY AND TAKE A LOT
11:04:35 OF TIME WHEN SURVEYORS GET BUSY.
11:04:37 SO WE CHANGED THIS LANGUAGE TO APPLY ONLY WHEN THERE WERE
11:04:42 ACTUALLY GOING TO BE PHYSICAL CHANGES TO THE SITE.
11:04:46 NEXT SLIDE.
11:04:51 THIS IS A CHANGE TO SECTION 27-138 WHICH ALLOWS PEOPLE WITH
11:04:57 AN APPROVED PD TO ASK TO BE ALLOWED TO MAKE NONSUBSTANTIVE
11:05:06 CHANGES OR SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO THAT SITE PLAN.
11:05:10 NOTICE IS REQUIRED, BUT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN UNCLEAR TO BOTH
11:05:14 APPLICANTS AND THOSE RECEIVING THE NOTICE WHAT THEY WERE
11:05:17 SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT NOTICE.
11:05:19 SO WE ARE CHANGING IT TO MAKE IT MORE CLEAR TO REQUIRE THE
11:05:22 APPLICANT TO PROVIDE NOTICE THAT THE DECISION ITSELF CAN BE
11:05:27 APPEALED FROM.
11:05:28 NEXT SLIDE.
11:05:32 SO THIS IS SECTION 27-149 WHICH IS WHERE ALL OF THE NOTICE
11:05:38 REQUIREMENTS ARE HELD.
11:05:40 SO AGAIN WE ARE CHANGING EVERYTHING TO MAKE ALL THE
11:05:44 REFERENCES IN THE CODE TO THIS SECTION.
11:05:48 WE ARE REMOVING, PROPOSING TO REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT THAT A
11:05:53 PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICANT SEND A COPY OF THE SITE PLAN
11:05:57 TO PARTICIPATING NOTICE ASSOCIATIONS.
11:06:00 THAT CAN BE COSTLY AND AGAIN TAKES TIME.
11:06:03 AND THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THE SITE PLANS ARE AVAILABLE
11:06:07 ONLINE ON ACCELA, AND REMOVING THIS REQUIREMENT REDUCES
11:06:14 PAPER, AVOIDS UNNECESSARY PRINTING COSTS, AND AGAIN
11:06:17 RECOGNIZES THAT IN THE MODERN WORLD, THIS IS ALL AVAILABLE
11:06:21 ONLINE.
11:06:22 BY THE SAME TOKEN, RIGHT NOW, APPLICANTS HAVE TO BASICALLY
11:06:27 MAIL OR HAND DELIVER THEIR CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE WITH
11:06:32 THE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS, AND WE ARE CHANGING THE LANGUAGE TO
11:06:35 ALLOW THAT TO BE DONE ELECTRONICALLY.
11:06:39 AGAIN MOVING TO THE 21st CENTURY.
11:06:42 NEXT SLIDE.
11:06:45 AS COUNCIL MIGHT RECALL, BACK IN 2019, THE FLORIDA
11:06:48 LEGISLATURE ADOPTED A BILL OR PASSED A BILL THAT CREATED
11:06:56 UNIFORM TIME FRAMES ACROSS THE STATE FOR THE REVIEW AND
11:07:00 APPROVAL OF DEVELOPMENT PERMITS AND DEVELOPMENT ORDERS, AND
11:07:04 SO THIS PARTICULAR CODE SECTION SIMPLY INCORPORATES THOSE
11:07:09 TIME FRAMES INTO OUR CODE.
11:07:12 NEXT SLIDE.
11:07:16 AS COUNCIL WILL AGAIN RECALL, WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, WE
11:07:20 DISCOVERED THAT OUR STORMWATER ADVISORY LIST HAD AN
11:07:26 UNFORTUNATE REFERENCE TO THE TERM RED LINING.
11:07:29 SO THE NAME OF THE LIST WAS CHANGED, BUT CHAPTER 27 STILL
11:07:34 REFERRED TO IT BY THAT OTHER NAME.
11:07:36 SO WE ARE UPDATING THE CODE ACCORDINGLY.
11:07:40 LIKEWISE, THE CODE STILL HAD REFERENCES TO THINGS LIKE THE
11:07:43 BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, WHICH MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO WAS
11:07:47 CHANGED TO BE THE VARIANCE REVIEW BOARD.
11:07:50 SO AGAIN WE FOUND A LOT OF OUTDATED LANGUAGE IN THE CODE,
11:07:53 AND WE ARE PROPOSING TO CHANGE IT TO REFLECT THE PROPER
11:07:58 NAMES FOR THOSE BOARDS, AND IN THAT CASE THAT LIST.
11:08:02 NEXT SLIDE.
11:08:03 THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT STAFF IDENTIFIED.
11:08:07 WE HAVE LANGUAGE IN THE CODE THAT GOVERNS WHERE YOU CAN PARK
11:08:13 AN RV OR BOAT ON A RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTY, AND IT WAS
11:08:18 VERY UNCLEAR, AND PEOPLE WERE HAVING TROUBLE INTERPRETING
11:08:22 THAT LANGUAGE.
11:08:22 SO WE DID NOT CHANGE THE LANGUAGE SUBSTANTIVELY. WE SIMPLY
11:08:28 REWROTE IT TO MAKE IT MORE CLEAR.
11:08:30 NEXT SLIDE.
11:08:33 AND THIS WAS JUST A CHANGE TO COLLECT A SCRIVENER'S ERROR.
11:08:38 THE LAST TIME THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE TO CHAPTER
11:08:41 27, THEY CHANGED THE BUFFER REQUIREMENT BETWEEN GROUP C USES
11:08:49 AND RESIDENTIAL USES.
11:08:50 HOWEVER APPARENTLY WHEN THE CHANGES WENT TO CODE THAT CHANGE
11:08:53 WAS MISSED.
11:08:54 SO AGAIN THIS IS JUST A CLEAN-UP MAKING SURE THAT IT GETS
11:08:59 PROPERLY CHANGED ON THE CODE AS WELL.
11:09:06 AND THEN THE FINAL SLIDE SHOWS YOU THE TIMING.
11:09:09 WE HAVE ALREADY BRIEFED COUNCIL MEMBERS.
11:09:12 THERE WAS A BRIEFING ON THIS PROPOSED CODE CHANGE AT THE
11:09:15 PLANNING COMMISSION.
11:09:17 TODAY WE ARE HAVING THIS WORKSHOP ON IT.
11:09:20 ON NOVEMBER 9th, THIS WILL GO BEFORE THE PLANNING
11:09:22 COMMISSION BOARD FOR THEM TO DETERMINE CONSISTENCY WITH THE
11:09:26 COMP PLAN.
11:09:27 AND THEN WE ARE PROPOSING TO PUT THIS ON YOUR NOVEMBER
11:09:31 19th AGENDA FOR THE FIRST HEARING ON THE ORDINANCE.
11:09:36 SO WITH THAT, I WILL THANK YOU AND ASK WHETHER THERE ARE ANY
11:09:41 QUESTIONS.
11:09:41 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL
11:09:43 MEMBERS?
11:09:45 MR. DINGFELDER.
11:09:47 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
11:09:49 THANK YOU, MS. ZELMAN.
11:09:51 AND STAFF WORKING ON THIS WITH YOU.
11:09:56 WE APPRECIATE IT.
11:09:57 CLEAN-UP IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT.
11:10:01 ANDREA, IN REGARD TO SLIDE 6, IF STAFF CAN PUT THAT BACK UP.
11:10:13 SLIDE NUMBER 6.
11:10:15 THERE WE GO.
11:10:16 OKAY.
11:10:18 OF COURSE, JOAN AND I SERVED ON THE VRB FOR MANY YEARS.
11:10:29 I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE QUORUM REQUIREMENT FOR THE VRB.
11:10:32 I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO GET INTO THOSE WEEDS.
11:10:35 BUT MY CONCERN IS, LET'S SAY FOR ARGUMENT SAKE THEY HAVE A
11:10:40 QUORUM OF FOUR PEOPLE AND ONE PERSON SAYS, OH, I HAVE TO
11:10:43 RECUSE MYSELF AND THEY ARE DOWN TO THREE PEOPLE, AND THEN
11:10:46 THEY GO AHEAD AND HEAR A CASE.
11:10:47 AND UNDER THIS REVISION, KIND OF AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR A
11:10:55 NEIGHBORHOOD, AND SOMETIMES A VARIANCE CAN EVEN AFFECT A
11:10:59 MULTIFAMILY PROJECT.
11:11:02 IT COULD PASS 2 TO 1.
11:11:05 SO I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN.
11:11:06 THE CONCERN IS, WELL, WE ARE NOT GETTING FULL BOARDS, IT'S
11:11:12 HARD TO GET THE VOTE AND THAT SORT OF THING.
11:11:16 BUT INSTEAD OF JUST A SIMPLE MAJORITY, MAYBE ALL THE BOARDS
11:11:19 COULD JUST BE AT A MINIMUM OF THREE VOTES AS A COMPROMISE.
11:11:28 AND SO IF YOU HAVE FIVE MEMBERS, THEN YOU HAVE THREE VOTES,
11:11:32 THAT'S A MAJORITY.
11:11:33 BUT I THINK IF IT GOT DOWN TO 2 TO 1, I WOULDN'T FEEL
11:11:37 COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
11:11:38 I THINK THAT'S REALLY NOT RIGHT.
11:11:39 SO ANYWAY.
11:11:41 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: IF I COULD, MR. DINGFELDER.
11:11:45 THIS IS ANDREA ZELMAN AGAIN.
11:11:47 WITH REGARD TO THE EXAMPLE YOU GAVE, THE WAY THE CODE
11:11:49 LANGUAGE READS, IT HAS TO BE A SIMPLE MAJORITY OF VOTES
11:11:55 PRESENT AND EMPOWERED TO VOTE.
11:11:57 IF, FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WERE FOUR PEOPLE PRESENT BUT ONE HAD
11:12:00 A CONFLICT AND COULDN'T VOTE, THEN IT COULD NOT MOVE
11:12:03 FORWARD, BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE A SIMPLE MAJORITY OF THOSE
11:12:06 PRESENT, AND EMPOWERED TO VOTE.
11:12:08 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WELL, IF YOU RECUSE YOURSELF, YOU ARE
11:12:16 NOT EMPOWERED TO VOTE, THEN IT GOES DOWN TO THREE PEOPLE
11:12:19 REMAINING.
11:12:21 I THINK IT'S GETTING DO I KNOW INTO THE WEEDS.
11:12:23 BUT I WOULD LIKE YOU GUYS TO LOOK AT THAT BEFORE YOU
11:12:26 TRANSMIT IT.
11:12:26 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: YES, WE WILL LOOK AT THAT.
11:12:29 AGAIN YOU CAN ONLY HAVE A QUORUM IF YOU HAVE FOUR VOTING
11:12:31 MEMBERS.
11:12:32 SO I THINK YOUR QUESTION IS ADDRESSED BUT WE WILL LOOK AT
11:12:35 THAT MORE CAREFULLY.
11:12:39 IF WE NEED TO CHANGE IT, WE WILL.
11:12:40 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
11:12:41 AND MY NEXT QUESTION, IF YOU CAN GO TO SLIDE 9.
11:12:46 SO I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT SOMETIMES.
11:12:50 WE HAVE PD SITE PLANS THAT ARE 20 PAGES, YOU KNOW, THAT SORT
11:12:55 OF THING, AND VERY COMPLEX AND ALL THAT.
11:12:57 BUT I AM NOT SAYING THAT TWO OR THREE IMPACTED NEIGHBORHOODS
11:13:02 ASSOCIATIONS SHOULD RECEIVE THAT.
11:13:04 BUT I ALSO DON'T THINK WE SHOULD DELETE IT COMPLETELY.
11:13:07 SO WHAT I AM GOING TO SUGGEST IS A FRIENDLY SUGGESTION AGAIN
11:13:11 TO STAFF BEFORE YOU TRANSMIT IT.
11:13:14 I THINK, NUMBER ONE, THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD SHOULD GET 8½ BY
11:13:21 11 COPIES OF THE FRONT PAGE OF THE PD.
11:13:23 AND I KNOW YOU CAN'T LEARN A LOT FROM THAT.
11:13:25 BUT AT LEAST IT'S HELPFUL.
11:13:27 AND THEN NUMBER 2, THAT THE NOTICE LANGUAGE WOULD HAVE THE
11:13:29 ELECTRONIC LINK, THE SPECIFIC ELECTRONIC LINK, THE WAY THEY
11:13:34 CAN FIND IT IN THE PD THAT'S BEEN SUBMITTED.
11:13:37 IN OTHER WORDS, WE CAN'T RELY ON PEOPLE TO -- WE SHOULDN'T
11:13:41 MAKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION DIG INTO SIRE.
11:13:47 THAT'S HARD ENOUGH FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF TO TRY TO
11:13:50 FIND STUFF ON SIRE.
11:13:51 SOMETIMES THE SIRE LIST, THE LIST ON SIRE HAS TEN ITEMS AND
11:13:56 YOU CAN'T FIND STUFF.
11:13:57 SO IF WE HAVE THE SPECIFIC LINK TO THE PD, I THINK THAT
11:14:02 WOULD BE FAIR TO EVERYBODY.
11:14:03 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: AND THAT'S A GOOD SUGGESTION.
11:14:10 ANOTHER THOUGHT MIGHT BE THAT THE APPLICANT COULD SEND A PDF
11:14:15 OF THE SITE PLAN TO THE E-MAIL ADDRESS FILED WITH THE CITY
11:14:23 FOR THAT PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION TO WHOM THEY
11:14:26 ARE REQUIRED TO GIVE NOTICE.
11:14:27 WE'LL LOOK AT THAT, TOO, AND SEE IF WE CAN THINK OF A BETTER
11:14:30 WAY TO DO THAT.
11:14:31 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I THINK AS LONG AS THE LINK TYPE OAT
11:14:36 NOTICE, AND THEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAN ALWAYS TYPE IN THE
11:14:42 LINK, TAKE A LOOK AT THE 20 PAGES. ANYWAY, OKAY.
11:14:47 THAT'S MY POINT.
11:14:49 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
11:14:49 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
11:14:51 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIRMAN?
11:14:57 GO TO SLIDE 6.
11:15:06 MS. ZELMAN?
11:15:07 I SEE MR. DINGFELDER'S POINT.
11:15:09 BUT I ALSO HEARD LANGUAGE, OR THE REASON WHY MR. DINGFELDER,
11:15:18 CONTINUE TO GO TO WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING.
11:15:20 I THINK CERTAIN LANGUAGE IS TO BE IMPLEMENTED AND UNDERSTAND
11:15:25 WHY THAT IS THE WAY IT IS.
11:15:27 SO SOMETIMES YOU CAN READ IT AND NOT UNDERSTAND SOMETIMES
11:15:31 BUT IF IT'S A LITTLE MORE CLEANED UP, YOU CAN GO TO WHAT IS
11:15:35 PROPOSED IF YOU UNDERSTAND IT SO THERE WILL BE NO CONFUSION
11:15:37 WHEN IT'S TIME TO VOTE.
11:15:41 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: OKAY.
11:15:45 THANK YOU.
11:15:45 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, MA'AM.
11:15:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
11:15:47 >>BILL CARLSON: THIS IS CARLSON.
11:15:56 MS. ZELMAN, SORRY IF I DIDN'T HEAR ALL OF THIS, BUT IN TERMS
11:15:59 OF COMMUNICATING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND RESIDENTS, THEY
11:16:04 WANTS MORE COMMUNICATION, NOT LESS.
11:16:06 I HAVE HEARD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT DOING THAT.
11:16:09 A LOT OF TIMES NEIGHBORS FEEL BLIND-SIDED BECAUSE THEY SEE A
11:16:13 SIGN GOING UP AND THEY DIDN'T GET NOTICE IN ADVANCE. THIS
11:16:16 ISN'T A LEGAL ISSUE, JUST A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ISSUE.
11:16:20 ALSO, PEOPLE HAVE A PIECE OF LAND THAT COULD END UP THAT MAY
11:16:25 ALREADY BE ENTITLED THAT COULD END UP HAVING 300 UNITS AND
11:16:29 THEY THINK IT'S A PARK, AND SUDDENLY FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE
11:16:33 WE TAKE IT AWAY FROM THEM.
11:16:34 I THINK SEPARATE FROM THE LEGAL STUFF, WE HAVE TO DO A LOT
11:16:37 MORE PROACTIVE COMMUNICATING ON PLANNING WITH THE
11:16:43 NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
11:16:44 AND SEVERAL OF YOU ALL, THANK YOU, MET WITH THE SOUTH OF
11:16:48 GANDY FOLKS LAST WEEK.
11:16:50 CITY COUNCIL CANNOT MEET REQUEST THEM WITH THESE
11:16:53 NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS TO TALK ABOUT ISSUES THAT COULD END UP
11:16:55 DISCUSSING THE SPECIFIC LAND USE CASES.
11:17:00 BUT THAT KIND OF EDUCATION THAT YOU ALL DID ON TUESDAY IS
11:17:04 REALLY GOOD, BECAUSE THE MORE INFORMED THE POPULACE IS AND
11:17:09 THE MORE INFORMED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS ARE, THE BETTER
11:17:12 THEY ARE ABLE TO ARTICULATE WHAT THEY WANT AND UNDERSTAND
11:17:15 HOW TO NAVIGATE THE RULES AND HELP US DO THAT.
11:17:17 IN TERMS OF COMMUNICATING WITH NEIGHBORHOODS, AND AGAIN I
11:17:23 APOLOGIZE, BUT I WISH THERE WAS A WAY ON ACCELA THAT PEOPLE
11:17:27 COULD OPT INTO SOMETHING LIKE A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER THAT WOULD
11:17:30 AUTOMATICALLY GIVE THEM AN UPDATE ON ALL THE PROJECTS
11:17:34 HAPPENING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT COULD BE
11:17:37 NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS WHO AUTOMATICALLY GET IT, BUT THEN ALSO
11:17:41 RESIDENTS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
11:17:43 SO IF THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN USE TECHNOLOGY TO
11:17:48 COMMUNICATE MORE AND BE MORE PROACTIVE.
11:17:52 I ALSO KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE E-MAIL.
11:17:54 AND SO WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT, COMMUNICATE WITH THEM.
11:17:57 BUT IF WE ARE TAKING THE INFORMATION AND PUSHING IT OUT
11:18:00 INSTEAD OF LEAVING IT POSSIBLY ON THE WEBSITE, IT WOULD BE
11:18:04 VERY HELPFUL TO RESIDENT AND NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS.
11:18:07 THANK YOU.
11:18:07 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:18:08 ANYBODY ELSE?
11:18:09 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ONE OTHER QUICK FOLLOW-UP.
11:18:12 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
11:18:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IN REGARDS TO ITEM 9 AGAIN, YOU KNOW,
11:18:20 ANDREA, THIS DISCUSSION IS GOOD, BECAUSE NOW IT'S SORT OF
11:18:24 WRESTLING WITH THIS, AND MR. CARLSON BRINGS UP A GOOD POINT,
11:18:27 IS NOW WE ARE IN THIS ELECTRONIC AGE WHICH I'M NOT VERY GOOD
11:18:35 AT, BUT FORTUNATELY OTHERS ARE.
11:18:41 DO WE INCLUDE A LINK REFERENCE ON THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS
11:18:47 NOTICE LETTER?
11:18:48 SO, IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN WE SEND, YOU KNOW, ANY PETITIONER
11:18:53 HAS TO SEND NOTICE TO ANYBODY WITHIN 250 FEET TYPICALLY.
11:18:58 IF WE DON'T, WE SHOULD INCLUDE A LINK FOR THAT NEIGHBOR TO
11:19:04 SEE THE APPLICATION, NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF APPLICATION IT
11:19:07 IS.
11:19:11 AND ALSO, IF IT'S SITE PLAN CONTROLLED APPLICATION, LIKE A
11:19:15 PD, OR FOR THE OTHER SITE PLAN CONTROL, THEN IT WOULD ALSO
11:19:20 LINK TO THE PD.
11:19:22 SO I THINK WE SHOULD WORK WITH OUR TECHNOLOGY FOLKS BEFORE
11:19:32 WE AMEND THIS CODE, AND GET WITH THE TIMES, AND FIGURE OUT
11:19:38 HOW TO IMPROVE THAT LINK.
11:19:41 MAYBE LIKE YOU SAY MAYBE IT'S A PDF LINK THAT THE PETITIONER
11:19:46 HAS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
11:19:47 BECAUSE AT THAT POINT, I GUESS IT'S NOT REALLY FILED, AND
11:19:52 MIGHT NOT HAVE A LINK TO THE CITY, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE THEIR
11:19:55 OWN PDF LINK TO THEIR OWN DOCUMENT.
11:19:58 ANYWAY, LET'S TRY TO INCLUDE THAT IN THIS SITE PLAN UPDATE.
11:20:04 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
11:20:06 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:20:06 ANYBODY ELSE?
11:20:11 ALL RIGHT.
11:20:12 MS. POST, DO YOU WISH TO CONTINUE OR DOES THAT.
11:20:18 >>CAROLE POST: NO, CHAIR.
11:20:19 I THINK WE ARE CONCLUDED WITH THIS TOPIC.
11:20:21 I APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL MEMBERS' INPUT WHICH WE WILL
11:20:24 INCORPORATE INTO THE FINAL ADDITION OF THE ORDINANCE.
11:20:26 I THINK JUST MINDFUL TO NOTE, WE ARE CERTAINLY IN SUPPORT OF
11:20:31 COMMUNICATION AND OUTREACH TO NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITIES AND
11:20:34 ANY STAKEHOLDERS THAT GET IMPACTED BY BUILDING AND
11:20:38 DEVELOPMENT.
11:20:39 AND CAN CERTAINLY TAKE THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HAVE HEARD.
11:20:43 THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ACTIVITIES GOING ON WITHIN THE
11:20:46 DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CENTER THAT WILL PROVIDE SOME
11:20:49 ADDITIONAL VISIBILITY AS WELL INCLUDING SOME PROJECT MAPS
11:20:52 THAT WILL COME ONLINE SHORTLY AND THE LIKE.
11:20:55 BUT SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE RUNNING PARALLEL.
11:20:57 THEY MAY NOT GET INCORPORATED INTO THE LANGUAGE OF THIS
11:21:01 PARTICULAR ORDINANCE, BUT THEY ARE PROGRAMMATICALLY
11:21:03 PROCEEDING, AND WE WILL GET INTO THAT SO WE APPRECIATE THAT
11:21:08 FEEDBACK.
11:21:09 IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM, WE CAN PROCEED.
11:21:11 I AM HAPPY TO INTRODUCE THE NEXT ITEM.
11:21:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
11:21:16 THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT.
11:21:18 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, MARTIN SHELBY.
11:21:21 MAY I ASK A QUESTION?
11:21:22 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
11:21:23 GO AHEAD.
11:21:24 >>MARTIN SHELBY: WITHIN WILL THIS BE COMING BACK TO COUNCIL
11:21:27 BEFORE IT GOES TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION?
11:21:29 OR DOES THIS REQUIRE OR IS IT THE INTENTION TO HAVE THIS
11:21:33 TRANSMITTED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THIS PREVIOUS ITEM?
11:21:38 ITEM NUMBER 3 ON THE AGENDA.
11:21:39 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: THIS IS ALREADY SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD AT
11:21:42 THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON NOVEMBER 9th.
11:21:46 AND THEN OUR PLAN WAS TO BRING THE FINAL ORDINANCE TO
11:21:49 COUNCIL ON NOVEMBER 19th.
11:21:51 >>MARTIN SHELBY: OKAY.
11:21:53 WOULD THAT HAVE REQUIRED A MOTION OF COUNCIL TO GET IT ON
11:21:57 THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S AGENDA?
11:21:59 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: NO.
11:22:00 NO.
11:22:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
11:22:03 ALL RIGHT, MS. POST, GO AHEAD.
11:22:05 >>CAROLE POST: I APPRECIATE YOU LETTING US MOVE THAT ITEM
11:22:09 UP SO THAT WE COULD GET IT OUT OF THE WAY AS A RELATIVELY
11:22:13 CUT AND DRY ITEM.
11:22:14 WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE ON NOW TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 3, WHICH
11:22:17 IS A PRESENTATION OF THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY MODIFICATION.
11:22:23 AND JUST AS A HEADS-UP, FOLLOWING THAT ITEM, WE WOULD LIKE
11:22:26 TO ADDRESS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 7, WHICH IS AN ORDINANCE
11:22:31 RELATING TO THE FRONT PORCH SETBACKS.
11:22:35 BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS WILL BE ADDRESSED BY LACHONE DOCK FROM
11:22:39 PLANNING DEVELOPMENT DESIGN COORDINATION TEAM.
11:22:42 LACHONE, ARE YOU ON AND AVAILABLE?
11:22:46 >>LACHONE DOCK: YES.
11:22:46 GOOD MORNING.
11:22:47 CAN YOU HEAR ME?
11:22:49 >>CAROLE POST: YES, WE CAN.
11:22:51 >>LACHONE DOCK: THANK YOU SO MUCH, CAROLE.
11:22:53 GOOD MORNING, CHAIRMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
11:22:55 LACHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
11:22:58 I AM GOING TO PRESENT FOR YOU THIS MORNING AN ITEM REGARDING
11:23:01 A PRIVATELY INITIATED TEXT AMENDMENT.
11:23:03 THIS IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT
11:23:07 STANDARDS.
11:23:08 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:23:10 AND COUNCIL, I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN
11:23:14 EFFORT THAT AS I MENTIONED IT'S PRIVATELY INITIATED.
11:23:19 IT'S THE WEST TAMPA CRA; JOINED WITH THE WEST TAMPA
11:23:24 COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO SUBMIT THESE CHANGES TO THE
11:23:28 OVERLAY DISTRICT LANGUAGE.
11:23:29 AND JESUS NINO IS THE NEWLY APPOINTED CRA MANAGER FOR WEST
11:23:35 TAMPA.
11:23:37 AND I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE HIM.
11:23:39 AND ALSO CARLOS RAMIREZ, HE'S THE WEST TAMPA CAC
11:23:44 INFRASTRUCTURE SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRMAN.
11:23:47 AND CARLOS HAS BEEN IN THIS EFFORT FROM THE BEGINNING AND
11:23:52 WORKING WITH US AND GETTING THIS MOVING FORWARD.
11:23:55 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:23:57 SO THIS REQUEST IS A REQUEST TO AMEND SECTION 27-241, THE
11:24:04 WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT STANDARDS.
11:24:06 THIS IS A PART OF THE JANUARY 2020 AMENDMENT CYCLE.
11:24:09 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:24:13 SO WHAT I WILL REVIEW WITH YOU TODAY IS BACKGROUND
11:24:17 INFORMATION ON THE REQUEST.
11:24:19 THE TEXT AMENDMENT LANGUAGE AND ALSO THE PROCESSING
11:24:23 SCHEDULE.
11:24:24 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:24:27 AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THIS IS PART OF THE JANUARY 2020
11:24:31 AMENDMENT CYCLE. THIS PLANNING EFFORT WAS STARTED SEVERAL
11:24:34 YEARS AGO, THE WEST TAMPA CAC WENT TO THE WEST TAMPA CRA AND
11:24:41 THEY WORKED TOGETHER WITH THE CITY'S PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO
11:24:43 BRING FORTH THESE CHANGES.
11:24:45 THE GOAL IS TO UPDATE CERTAIN REVIEW PROCEDURES REGARDING
11:24:52 EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS, AND ALSO DESIGN ELEMENTS WITHIN THE
11:24:55 DISTRICT, AND ALSO ANYTIME WE LOOK AT A CHAPTER FOR TEXT
11:24:59 AMENDMENT, WE ALSO TRY TO DO CLEAN-UP IF NECESSARY WITHIN
11:25:02 THAT SECTION OF THE CODE, SO YOU WILL SEE THAT INCLUDED
11:25:05 ALSO.
11:25:07 IN TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
11:25:09 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:25:12 SO THIS IS THE BOUNDARY FOR WEST TAMPA.
11:25:15 THIS MAP IS AN AERIAL MAP.
11:25:18 IT IDENTIFIES THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT THAT OUTLINED
11:25:23 IN RED OR THE ORANGISH RED COLOR, WITH THE STRIPES IN IT
11:25:27 THAT IS THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY BOUNDARY.
11:25:30 THE AREA IN YELLOW IDENTIFIES THE CRA BOUNDARY.
11:25:35 AND THAT IS JUST FOR REFERENCE.
11:25:37 AND THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:25:40 SO THE OVERLAY LANGUAGE IS DIVIDED WITHIN THE COMMERCIAL
11:25:43 DISTRICT AND ALSO WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, AND WE'LL
11:25:46 REVIEW THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENTS FIRST.
11:25:48 SO I JUST WANT TO PROVIDE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THE CHANGES
11:25:51 PROPOSED OF THE NEXT SLIDE.
11:25:53 SO WHAT WE HAVE AMENDED WITHIN THIS AREA IS THE FIRST THING
11:25:59 IS THE DEPARTMENT NAMED FOR ANY REFERENCE WHERE THE CODE
11:26:04 REFERENCE IS, LDB, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
11:26:07 WE HAVE REMOVED THOSE REFERENCES.
11:26:10 WE ALSO ADDRESSED SOME OF THE CAN SUBMISSION LANGUAGE WHICH
11:26:12 REFERS TO SUBMITTAL OF THE SITE PLAN, AND AS YOU KNOW, WE
11:26:17 HAVE A SYSTEM NOW THAT HARD COPIES ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR
11:26:22 SUBMITTAL.
11:26:23 THOSE ARE SOME OTHER CLEAN-UP ITEMS WE HAVE SUGGESTED.
11:26:26 ALSO STARTING WITH THE LANDSCAPE PLAN LANGUAGE, WE CORRECTED
11:26:30 REFERENCES TO THE OLD CHAPTER OF THE CODE WHERE NATURAL
11:26:33 RESOURCES WAS LOCATED UNDER CHAPTER 13.
11:26:36 WE HAVE ADDED SHADE TREE CALIPER REQUIREMENTS.
11:26:41 THAT HAS BEEN AMENDED FROM 4 INCHES TO 3 INCHES.
11:26:45 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:26:48 THE PRINCIPLE BUILDING SHALL BE DESIGNED -- THE PRINCIPAL
11:26:53 BUILDING SHALL BE DESIGNED AND DESIGNATED TO HAVE A
11:26:56 PRINCIPAL ENTRY.
11:26:56 SO THAT IS ONE OF THE PREFERRED CHANGES MADE WITHIN THE
11:27:02 COMMERCIAL BUILDING REQUIREMENT.
11:27:03 ANOTHER CHANGE THAT IS BEING MADE IS THE SCREENING
11:27:07 REQUIREMENTS.
11:27:07 THAT'S BEEN AMENDED FROM 100% TO A MINIMUM OF 50% OPACITY.
11:27:12 AND WHAT WE HAVE ALSO DONE IS FOR APPLICATIONS FOR MAJOR
11:27:16 RENOVATIONS AND NEW CONSTRUCTION, THAT IS BEING AMENDED SO
11:27:21 THAT THAT WILL REFLECT THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF THE
11:27:24 MAJORITY OF THE BLOCK FACE.
11:27:26 SO THIS IS TO ADDRESS ANY IN-FILL AND REDEVELOPMENT WHICH
11:27:30 MAY OCCUR FOR CONSISTENCY ON THE BLOCK.
11:27:33 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:27:35 WE HAVE ADDED ALSO A ACCESSORY STRUCTURE REQUIREMENT.
11:27:40 SO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES WHICH ARE VISIBLE FROM THE PUBLIC
11:27:43 RIGHT-OF-WAY SHALL BE FINISHED WITH MATERIALS THAT ARE
11:27:49 CONSISTENT WITH THE FINISH OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
11:27:52 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:27:59 AND THE PARKING STANDARDS REGARDING ACCESS, THE COMMUNITY
11:28:05 DESIRES TO HAVE WHENEVER AN ALLEY EXISTS THAT THAT VEHICULAR
11:28:09 ACCESS SHOULD BE LOCATED FROM THAT ALLEY WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
11:28:15 IN REGARDING STRUCTURED PARKING, IT SHOULD BE
11:28:18 ARCHITECTURALLY EMBELLISHED AND INTEGRATED WITHIN THE
11:28:21 OVERALL DESIGN OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
11:28:22 AND THAT IS ON ALL SIDES OF THE STRUCTURE WHERE IT EXISTS.
11:28:27 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:28:29 THE LAST CHANGE IN THE COMMERCIAL SECTION IS A CHANGE THAT
11:28:34 IS A UPDATE AND RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF, AND THAT IS TO
11:28:37 UPDATE THE LIGHTING DESIGN STANDARDS.
11:28:41 AS NOTATED, JUST SO THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT IES
11:28:47 LIGHTING HANDBOOK.
11:28:48 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:28:50 SO NOW WE GET INTO THE RESIDENTIAL SECTION.
11:28:53 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:28:57 TEXT AMENDMENT CHANGES REGARDING THE WALL STANDARDS.
11:29:03 CHANGE LINK FENCING IS ONLY ALLOWED DURING CONSTRUCTION AND
11:29:07 IT SHALL BE REMOVED BY ANY CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY ISSUE.
11:29:15 DECORATIVE FENCING MATERIALS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE CODE.
11:29:19 SO FENCING IS ENCOURAGED AND WHAT HAPPENED HERE THE
11:29:25 COMMITTEE HAS AGREED TO ADD IN THE FENCING MATERIALS THAT
11:29:29 ARE ALLOWABLE IN THE OVERLAY DISTRICT.
11:29:31 AND THE LAST AREAS WHERE RETAINING WALLS EXIST, THE GOAL IS
11:29:37 TO MAINTAIN THE RETENTION WALL TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE.
11:29:43 INSTEAD OF COMPLETELY REMOVING THEM.
11:29:45 SO THAT SECTION HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE CODE ALSO.
11:29:48 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:29:51 REGARDING ALLEY ACCESS, THIS IS THE SAME AS IT WAS FOR THE
11:29:55 COMMERCIAL, FOR THE RESIDENTIAL, WHEREVER AN ALLEY EXISTS.
11:30:00 AND ENCOURAGES USE AS THE ACCESS POINT.
11:30:02 AND THEN THE NEXT POINT IS REGARDING THE ROOF PITCHES.
11:30:06 SO FOR RESIDENCE, THE MINIMUM ROOF PITCH IS NOW AT A 4:12.
11:30:13 THE CODE PREVIOUSLY WAS A 6:12.
11:30:17 AND WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS WE HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES SHOWING
11:30:22 PITCH AT A 4:12 AND.
11:30:28 THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT IS THE 6:12 ROOF PITCH.
11:30:34 IT'S JUST TO SHOW THAT VISUALLY AT A DISTANCE, THERE'S NOT
11:30:37 MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ROOF PITCHES.
11:30:40 AND SO THE MINIMUM IS THE 4:12 AND THAT HE WOULD BE THE
11:30:44 STANDARD FOR THE OVERLAY.
11:30:45 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:30:48 THE LAST SECTION OF CHANGES WITHIN THE OVERLAY CODE ARE THE
11:30:52 ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
11:30:54 SO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SHALL BE ARCHITECTURALLY
11:30:58 FINISHED, AND THEY SHALL ADHERE TO THE BUILDING STYLE OF THE
11:31:01 PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE.
11:31:02 AND SO ACCESSORY PARKING STRUCTURES, AND THESE ARE ONES THAT
11:31:07 ARE WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA, THEY SHALL HAVE THE SAME
11:31:11 DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AS THE PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE
11:31:15 AND ALSO WHEN THEY ARE ORIENTED TOWARD THE FRONT YARD, IT
11:31:18 SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED NO CLOSER TO THE STREET THAN THE FRONT
11:31:21 WALL OF THE PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE.
11:31:25 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:31:28 SO THIS LANGUAGE HAS BEEN -- IT HAS BEEN REVIEWED WITH THE
11:31:33 WEST TAMPA CAC, AND THEY HELD NUMEROUS COMMUNITY MEETINGS
11:31:39 AND ANY OTHER CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED THAT HAVE
11:31:41 ACTUALLY BEEN MADE ALONG THE WAY OF DEVELOPING THESE CHANGES
11:31:44 TO THE CODE HAVE ALL GONE BACK TO THE CAC FOR THEIR VOTE AND
11:31:49 APPROVAL.
11:31:51 STAFF HAS MONITORED THIS REQUEST FOR CONTINUE.
11:31:53 WE WOULD SEE NO OBJECTION.
11:31:56 WE HAD A PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING ON THE LANGUAGE.
11:31:58 AND THE NEXT STEPS AHEAD ARE FOR PLANNING COMMISSION
11:32:01 BRIEFING IN NOVEMBER, ON THE 9th.
11:32:05 AND THEN PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING IS ON DECEMBER
11:32:07 14th.
11:32:08 CITY COUNCIL FIRST READING WILL BE JANUARY 14th, AND
11:32:12 CITY COUNCIL SECOND READING WILL BE FEBRUARY 18th.
11:32:15 AND THAT'S FOR ADOPTION.
11:32:19 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:32:22 AND THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR THE WEST TAMPA
11:32:25 OVERLAY LANGUAGE.
11:32:26 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
11:32:28 DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
11:32:30 >>ORLANDO GUDES: CHAIR?
11:32:32 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, COUNCILMAN GUDES.
11:32:33 >>ORLANDO GUDES: DURING THE PRESENTATION, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL
11:32:45 COULD HAVE TIME SPLITTING LOTS.
11:32:46 I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY PRESENTATION.
11:32:49 I KNOW THAT'S BEEN AN ISSUE ALL OVER.
11:32:51 I AM JUST WONDER BEING IF THAT WAS BROUGHT UP, IF STAFF WILL
11:32:57 BRING IT BACK TO US LATER WHEN WE ARE DEALING WITH SOME OF
11:33:00 THESE OTHER CODES.
11:33:01 THERE'S BEEN A BIG PROBE ABOUT SPLITTING OF LOTS, WHEN WE
11:33:04 ARE APPROVING SOME PERSON, AND SOMEONE ELSE GETS DENIED.
11:33:07 I JUST WANT TO ASK THAT QUESTION IN THE OVERLAY.
11:33:12 >>LACHONE DOCK: YES, COUNCILMAN.
11:33:15 IT IS NOT ADDRESSED WITHIN THAT LANGUAGE BUT WE WILL HAVE
11:33:17 THAT DISCUSSION LATER THIS MORNING WITH ITEM NUMBER 12.
11:33:21 DISCUSSING THE LOT SIZES.
11:33:22 BUT IT WAS NOT ADDRESSED WITHIN THIS SPECIFIC REQUEST.
11:33:25 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, MS. DOCK.
11:33:31 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:33:33 ANYBODY ELSE?
11:33:33 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, SIR.
11:33:36 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
11:33:38 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
11:33:43 THANK YOU, MS. DOCK.
11:33:47 I WILL BE VERY GENEROUS.
11:33:48 THERE WAS A HIDEOUS HOUSE THAT WAS BUILT ON MAIN STREET
11:33:53 BETWEEN MacDILL AND HOWARD, AND IT'S AN ALUMINUM HOUSE.
11:34:05 IT DOESN'T SEEM TO CONFORM WITH ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN
11:34:08 TALKING ABOUT.
11:34:10 IT'S CAUSING A LOT OF NEIGHBORS ATTENTION BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT
11:34:13 THERE ON MAIN STREET.
11:34:16 THE PROPOSED -- DO THE PROPOSED CHANGES ADDRESS THAT TYPE OF
11:34:19 CONSTRUCTION, SO HOPEFULLY THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE
11:34:22 FUTURE?
11:34:27 ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THAT ONE?
11:34:28 >>LACHONE DOCK: COUNCILMAN, WITH THAT PARTICULAR HOME, I AM
11:34:33 NOT.
11:34:33 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO IS.
11:34:43 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IT'S A METAL HOUSE, BUT IT'S VERY ODD.
11:34:47 AS YOU DRIVE DO I KNOW MAIN STREET YOU WILL SEE IT.
11:34:50 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MS. DOCK, IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH
11:34:54 IT, TAKE A RIDE DOWN MAIN STREET BETWEEN MacDILL AND
11:35:01 HOWARD AND YOU WILL SEE IT AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT TYPE OF
11:35:05 REALLY INSENSITIVE DESIGN IS ADDRESSED.
11:35:15 >>LACHONE DOCK: ABSOLUTELY.
11:35:16 I WILL, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
11:35:17 I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
11:35:18 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
11:35:21 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
11:35:21 >>BILL CARLSON: THIS IS CARLSON.
11:35:25 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
11:35:27 >>BILL CARLSON: QUICKLY, I WANT TO THANK STAFF AND THE
11:35:30 MAYOR'S OFFICE FOR BEING PROACTIVE ON ISSUES LIKE THIS,
11:35:34 BRINGING ALL THESE PLANS UP TO DATE AND DOING PLANNING AND
11:35:39 BUILDING UP OUR PLANNING COMMISSION IN-HOUSE.
11:35:42 I THINK RESIDENTS WILL BENEFIT FROM IT, WHETHER THEY KNOW
11:35:47 DIRECTLY THAT YOU HAVE DONE, BUT IT WILL MAKE OUR COMMUNITY
11:35:51 SO MUCH BETTER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN.
11:35:53 THANK YOU FOR HELPING WITH ALL OF THIS.
11:35:54 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:35:57 ANYBODY ELSE?
11:36:02 ANYBODY ELSE?
11:36:05 ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:36:06 NEXT PRESENTATION, I BELIEVE, WOULD BE FRONT PORCH
11:36:09 ORDINANCE, ITEM NUMBER 7.
11:36:12 CORRECT?
11:36:12 >>LACHONE DOCK: CORRECT.
11:36:14 THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN, AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
11:36:17 THIS ITEM IS A PUBLICLY INITIATED TEXT AMENDMENT.
11:36:23 THIS IS REQUESTED A CHANGE TO CODE SECTION 27-159 PERMITTED
11:36:29 PROJECTIONS INTO FRONT YARD.
11:36:31 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:36:34 SO THIS REQUEST WOULD ALLOW FRONT PORCHES TO PROJECT TO
11:36:39 FRONT YARDS IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS.
11:36:41 SO THIS WOULD INCLUDE ALL RS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY AND
11:36:47 RM RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY DISTRICTS ALONG WITH PD, PLANNED
11:36:52 DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS, WHICH ALLOWS RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
11:36:57 AND THAT IS THE LANGUAGE THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU.
11:37:00 YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE LANGUAGE THAT IS ACTUALLY IN RED IS
11:37:07 THE CHANGES THAT ARE PROPOSED.
11:37:09 THE UNDERLINED IS THE NEW LANGUAGE TO BE ADDED, AND STRIKES
11:37:12 THROUGH LANGUAGE IS THE LANGUAGE TO BE REMOVED IN THE CODE
11:37:15 SECTION.
11:37:16 AND NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:37:19 AND THE REQUEST IS ALSO WITHIN THIS SECTION OF THE CODE TO
11:37:26 ALLOW WITHIN THE PD DISTRICT WITHIN A FRONT YARD SETBACK
11:37:32 THAT IS LESS THAN 12 FEET.
11:37:33 SO IT WOULD NOT ALLOW THE PORCH TO PROJECT IF THE FRONT YARD
11:37:37 SETBACK IS LESS THAN 12 FEET.
11:37:39 THIS IS AN EFFORT TO AVOID HAVING SIGHTS MET WITHIN THE
11:37:44 RIGHT-OF-WAY AND ENSURE THOSE BUILDING CODES CAN BE MET
11:37:47 REGARDING PROPERTY LINES AND PLACEMENT OF STRUCTURES WITHIN
11:37:49 THEM.
11:37:50 AND NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:37:56 THIS ONE IS A SHORT ONE.
11:38:01 IT'S ON THE SCHEDULE, OF COURSE.
11:38:02 IT'S IF IT IS COUNCIL'S DESIRE, THIS IS LANGUAGE THAT I CAN
11:38:07 BRING BACK PRIOR TO TAKING IT FORWARD TO THE PLANNING
11:38:11 COMMISSION, BUT THIS IS THE CHANGE THAT IS PROPOSED TODAY.
11:38:18 ARE THERE QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM?
11:38:20 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
11:38:21 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES.
11:38:24 MR. CHAIR.
11:38:25 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
11:38:26 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
11:38:27 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
11:38:29 THANK YOU, MS. DOCK, ON ADDRESSING THIS.
11:38:35 LOTS OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THINK THAT FRONT PORCHES ARE
11:38:40 A NEAT IDEA, AND HAVE ASKED IN THE PAST WHY DO WE GIVE SOME
11:38:46 OF THAT TO THE RS-50 ZONING DISTRICT.
11:38:48 I THINK THE FACT THAT WE CAN EXPAND THIS EMS WHERE IS
11:38:50 IMPORTANT.
11:38:50 IF YOU CAN GO BACK A SLIDE OR TWO, TO THE ACTUAL TEXT, ONE
11:38:58 MORE SLIDE BACK.
11:38:59 OKAY.
11:39:01 ITEM B AS RELATED TO THE OVERLAY DISTRICTS, AND MS. DOCK AND
11:39:05 I SPOKE ABOUT THIS THIS MORNING -- I THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE
11:39:08 DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO ENCOURAGE FRONT PORCHES IN THE
11:39:08 OVERLAY DISTRICT AS WELL,
11:39:14 WHICH INCLUDES EAST TAMPA, WHICH HAS A HUGE AMOUNT OF LAND
11:39:22 AND PROPERTIES, WEST TAMPA, SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, AND GOT
11:39:28 PROBABLY MORE THAN HALF OF THE ORIGINAL CITY IN THOSE THREE
11:39:32 OVERLAY DISTRICTS.
11:39:33 SO MS. DOCK AND I AGREED THAT SHE WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE
11:39:38 LANGUAGE IN SECTION B TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE DOING
11:39:42 EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO INCLUDE AND ENCOURAGE FRONT PORCHES.
11:39:50 SO DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU, MS. DOCK?
11:39:52 >>LACHONE DOCK: YES.
11:39:54 THAT DOES WORK.
11:39:55 I CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND COME BACK TO COUNCIL WITH SOME
11:39:58 AMENDED LANGUAGE.
11:39:59 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED TO COME BACK TO
11:40:05 COUNCIL BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE OWN A FAST TRACK TO
11:40:09 TAKE IT TO PLANNING COMMISSION SO I AM OKAY IF YOU CAN JUST
11:40:11 ADDRESS IT YOURSELF, IF WE CAN COME UP WITH ANY TWEAK
11:40:14 BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER WHEN YOU TAKE IT TO THE PLANNING
11:40:16 COMMISSION.
11:40:19 IF ANYTHING, GO OVERBOARD WITH IT AND WE CAN ALWAYS PULL
11:40:22 BACK WHEN IT COMES BACK TO CITY COUNCIL.
11:40:26 THANK YOU.
11:40:26 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MR. CHAIRMAN?
11:40:30 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR, COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
11:40:32 GO AHEAD.
11:40:32 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN
11:40:35 SAID.
11:40:35 HOWEVER, FROM THIS POINT ON, AND INTO THE FUTURE, WHO KNOWS
11:40:40 WHAT SOMEBODY ELSE MAY DO TO THIS ORDINANCE?
11:40:43 SO I WONDER IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT THIS THAT WE ARE
11:40:49 TALKING ABOUT HERE CAN NEVER BE IMPOSED BY SOME FUTURE
11:40:52 COUNCIL IN THE FUTURE, AND SOME OTHERS IN THE VARIANCE
11:40:56 REVIEW BOARD OR WHATEVER, THAT THESE ARE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO
11:40:59 BE FILED, BECAUSE WHAT WE ARE DOING.
11:41:03 AND I BELIEVE IF YOU DON'T PUT IN SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT
11:41:06 IN THE CODE, IF SOME FUTURE COUNCIL MEMBERS IN 2040,
11:41:12 WHATEVER, ARE CHANGING THINGS AND JUST MAKE THAT ANOTHER
11:41:14 BEDROOM, JUST LIKE ADDING ON CARPORTS.
11:41:22 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. MIRANDA, I THINK THERE IS A
11:41:26 PROVISION NOT ENCLOSING IT.
11:41:28 I DON'T KNOW, LEGAL WOULD HAVE TO ADVISE US IF WE COULD EVER
11:41:33 PRECLUDE SOME FUTURE COUNCIL FROM CHANGING THE CODE.
11:41:40 MS. DOCK, I DON'T SEE A PROVISION.
11:41:43 IT'S NOT ON OUR SCREEN.
11:41:44 >>LACHONE DOCK: IT IS, YES.
11:41:46 COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, THAT IS CORRECT.
11:41:47 WE HAVE THAT INCLUDED WITHIN THE CODE.
11:41:49 IT'S UNDER SECTION A.
11:41:52 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM LOOKING AT IT NOW.
11:41:54 >>LACHONE DOCK: 1-A, THE PORCH HAS TO REMAIN OPEN ON ALL
11:41:58 SIDES.
11:42:00 FOR THE PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE.
11:42:02 THAT'S ONE OF THE CONDITIONS.
11:42:02 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ALL RIGHT.
11:42:08 BUT I STILL HAVE A LITTLE HESITANCY ABOUT SOME PEOPLE MAY
11:42:11 MAKE CHANGES, BUT I'M ALL RIGHT.
11:42:12 >>ABBYE FEELEY: I'M ALSO WITH LACHONE HERE.
11:42:18 COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.
11:42:21 AND WE COULD ADD A FURTHER STATEMENT TO THE END THAT DOES
11:42:27 SAY THAT PORCHES THAT ARE SOMETHING TO THIS EFFECT, THOSE
11:42:34 PORCHES THAT ARE IMPLEMENTED UNDER THIS PROVISION MAY AT NO
11:42:38 TIME BE ENCLOSED OR BECOME LIVING SPACE.
11:42:41 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.
11:42:43 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
11:42:45 THANK YOU, CHARLIE.
11:42:49 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. DINGFELDER.
11:42:50 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
11:42:51 ANYBODY ELSE?
11:42:51 >>LACHONE DOCK: COUNCIL, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I AM
11:43:00 CLEAR.
11:43:01 THE LANGUAGE -- IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES TO THIS LANGUAGE, I
11:43:05 WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL PRIOR TO GOING TO THE
11:43:08 PLANNING COMMISSION.
11:43:09 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: THIS IS ANDREA ZELMAN, DEPUTY CITY
11:43:15 ATTORNEY.
11:43:16 I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR WITH REGARDS TO THE ORDINANCE I
11:43:18 PRESENTED AND WHAT LACHONE IS PRESENTING NOW, AGAIN, TODAY
11:43:22 IS JUST A WORKSHOP.
11:43:23 WE HAVE TIME -- AND THAT WAS THE POINT OF THE WORKSHOP IS TO
11:43:28 INCORPORATE YOUR COMMENTS, YOUR REQUESTS, YOUR QUESTIONS.
11:43:31 SO WE WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITIES TO GO BACK AND TWEAK
11:43:36 EVERYTHING WE ARE TALKING WITH YOU ABOUT TODAY BEFORE IT
11:43:39 ACTUALLY COMES TO YOU FOR YOUR APPROVAL.
11:43:41 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT, IF THERE'S A
11:43:50 SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION HASN'T SEEN
11:43:53 IT, WE HAVE TO SEND IT BACK TO PLANNING COMMISSION, IS MY
11:43:56 UNDERSTANDING.
11:43:57 SO WHY NOT BRING IT BACK TO US TWO WEEKS FROM NOW WITH ALL
11:44:01 THE CHANGES, AND THAT WAY WE CAN VOTE ON IT BEFORE THE
11:44:06 NOVEMBER 9th PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING?
11:44:11 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: ARE YOU TALKING NOW ABOUT THE ORDINANCE I
11:44:13 PRESENTED OR THE ONE THAT LACHONE IS TALKING ABOUT NOW?
11:44:21 BECAUSE THEY ARE ON A DIFFERENT TRACK.
11:44:24 THE ONE I PRESENTED, IT'S NOT DUE TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
11:44:27 UNTIL NOVEMBER 9th.
11:44:29 I'M NOT SURE -- WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING IS A LITTLE
11:44:33 UNORTHODOX.
11:44:35 WE DON'T USUALLY HAVE COUNCIL VOTES ON AN ORDINANCE SUCH AS
11:44:39 A CHAPTER 27 ORDINANCE THAT GOES TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
11:44:43 AGAIN, THEY LOOK AT IT.
11:44:45 AND WE DID ADVISE THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT WHAT WE SENT
11:44:48 EARLIER WAS SUBJECT TO CHANGE, YOU KNOW, SUBJECT TO INPUT
11:44:52 FROM COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC AT THE WORKSHOP.
11:44:55 SO DOES THAT ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION?
11:45:01 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: PROCEDURALLY THAT'S FINE.
11:45:03 BUT I DON'T WANT TO COME INTO JANUARY AND HAVE CHANGES MADE
11:45:08 AND THEN IT HAS TO CIRCLE BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
11:45:11 AGAIN.
11:45:11 >>ANDREA ZELMAN: AND MAYBE I WASN'T CLEAR.
11:45:14 IT WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO BACK TOTE PLANNING COMMISSION AT
11:45:16 THAT POINT.
11:45:17 IT WOULD NOT.
11:45:18 IT'S YOUR CODE.
11:45:19 YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO CHANGE IT.
11:45:24 SO THAT WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE.
11:45:26 THE PURPOSE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING IS TO HAVE
11:45:29 THEM LOOK TO MAKE AN ADVISORY RECOMMENDATION.
11:45:32 SO YOU WOULD STILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE IT.
11:45:37 >>ABBYE FEELEY: THIS IS ABBYE FEELEY AGAIN.
11:45:44 I WANT TO CONFIRM TO BE EXPEDITIOUS AND BRING YOU BACK THAT
11:45:47 LANGUAGE AND KEEP YOU ON TRACK.
11:45:49 IN RELATION TO THE AVERAGING THAT COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER JUST
11:45:52 BROUGHT UP, I THINK IN THE OVERLAYS, EAST TAMPA AND WEST
11:45:58 TAMPA, WE DO FRONT YARD AVERAGING.
11:46:01 SOMETIMES THAT AVERAGE CAN RESULT IN A TEN-FOOT FRONT
11:46:05 SETBACK WHICH THEN IF YOU ALLOW THE 8-FOOT FOR THE PORCH YOU
11:46:08 END UP WITH TWO FEET.
11:46:10 SO WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS ENSURE THAT WHICH THE OVERLAY
11:46:18 SEEKS TO ACHIEVE IS CONSISTENT, AND WE DO HAVE SOME LANGUAGE
11:46:25 THAT WE CAN PROPOSE THAT THE FRONT YARD AVERAGE SHALL BE
11:46:31 MEASURED TO THE FRONT FACADE OF THE STRUCTURE, AND THAT
11:46:33 FRONT PORCH AS REGULATED IN 27-159 BE ALLOWED TO ENCROACH
11:46:40 ONE FOOT INTO THE ESTABLISHMENT YARD.
11:46:42 HOWEVER, AT NO TIME MAY THE FRONT PORCH BE LESS THAN FIVE
11:46:46 FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE WHICH I THINK WE ALLOW THAT
11:46:49 ENCROACH.
11:46:50 BUT WOULD ALSO ALLOW US TO REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH BUILDING
11:46:52 CODES AND TO TRY TO STILL MAINTAIN THAT RHYTHM THAT YOU HAVE

11:47:22 10, AND THEN ITEM NUMBER 12.
11:47:25 CAROLE POST, TAKE IT AWAY.
11:47:27 >>CAROLE POST: THANK YOU.
11:47:29 APPRECIATE IT.
11:47:30 THANK YOU AGAIN FOR LETTING US MODIFY THAT SCHEDULE TO
11:47:33 ADDRESS THESE IN A MORE COMPREHENSIVE MANNER IN A BUNDLED
11:47:36 WAY.
11:47:37 WE HAVE A NUMBER OF SLIDES TO PRESENTED.
11:47:39 AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE A VERY COMPREHENSIVE PRESENTATION GIVEN
11:47:43 THAT WE ARE ADDRESSING SO MANY ITEMS HERE.
11:47:46 AND I WILL GO THROUGH THOSE BEFORE WE KICK OFF INTO THE
11:47:50 SUBSTANCE OF IT.
11:47:51 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:47:52 I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS PRESENTATION, THE SUBSTANCE
11:47:56 OF IT AND THE RECOMMENDATION REPRESENT THE INPUT OF A NUMBER
11:47:59 OF ELEMENTS WITH THE CITY AND FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION
11:48:03 AS WELL, THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, OUR NEWLY FORMED PLANNING
11:48:08 DEPARTMENT IS THE LEAD FOR THIS, BUT CERTAINLY INPUT FROM
11:48:10 OUR DEVELOPMENT GROWTH MANAGEMENT TEAM, THE MOBILITY
11:48:14 DEPARTMENT, TRANSPORTATION, OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT, AND THEN
11:48:17 OUR PARTNERS AT PLANNING COMMISSION.
11:48:20 DAVID HEY AND GONZALEZ ARE ON THE LINE.
11:48:23 I DON'T KNOW IF MELISSA ORNITA IS ON THE LINE.
11:48:26 WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH HER IN-DEPTH AS WELL BUT WE WANT TO VERY
11:48:30 MUCH REFLECT THAT THIS PRESENTATION AND ALL OF THIS
11:48:33 ASSOCIATED INPUT REPRESENT A TEAM.
11:48:38 IT'S A TEAM FORCE HERE AND WE ARE LOOKING TO MOVE FORWARD
11:48:42 VERY MUCH IN ALIGNMENT ACROSS ALL OF THESE AREAS.
11:48:47 MANY OF THESE THINGS ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED.
11:48:50 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:48:51 I WILL JUST COVER GIVEN THE INTENSITY, FULL, OF THIS PRESENT
11:48:55 ACE, I WANT TO JUST TOUCH UPON THE MOTIONS THAT WILL BE
11:48:57 COVERED HERE, SO THAT COUNCIL AND ALSO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
11:49:01 CAN BE CLEAR WHAT WE WILL BE, WHERE WE WILL BE ADDRESSING
11:49:05 CERTAIN MOTIONS ON THE AGENDA, TALK ABOUT GROWTH MANAGEMENT
11:49:13 PRINCIPLES THAT ARE IN PLACE NOW AND MOVING FORWARD, AND
11:49:15 THEN RANDY GOERS OF OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT WILL US WHAT US
11:49:19 THROUGH A THREE PARK PRESENTATION INCLUDING SUGGESTIONS FOR
11:49:24 CONSIDERATION.
11:49:26 AND WE DEFINITELY WANT TO SORT OF TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE WE
11:49:30 ARE NOW RELATIVE TO POPULATION AND EMPLOYMENT TRENDS, HOW
11:49:35 OUR PLANNING POOLS HAVE WORKED TO DATE AND HOW WE SEE THIS
11:49:39 WORKING FOR US MOVING FORWARD, AND THEN WHERE WE PLAN TO GO
11:49:47 RELATIVE TO BE COMMUNITY PRIORITY.
11:49:50 THE NEXT SLIDE.
11:49:51 AS THE CHAIR REFERENCED, THE PRESENTATION WILL SPECIFICALLY
11:49:53 ADDRESS FIVE ITEMS THAT ARE ON THE AGENDA.
11:50:01 I WON'T GO THROUGH THESE IN DETAIL, BUT THE AGENDA ITEM
11:50:03 NUMBER 5 HAD A PLAN FOR AREAS OF GROWTH AND PROTECT AREAS
11:50:07 THAT DO NOT WANT GROWTH.
11:50:09 AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 10, WHICH HAS TO DO WITH THE COASTAL HIGH
11:50:14 HAZARD AREAS, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 12 WHICH IS PLANNING FOR
11:50:17 DAVIS ISLANDS AND WESTSHORE PALMS.
11:50:20 AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 9, WHICH IS QUESTIONS ABOUT A MASTER PLAN
11:50:23 FOR EAST TAMPA.
11:50:25 AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 8 HAVING TO DO WITH THE TEXT AMENDMENT
11:50:30 CYCLES RELATIVE TO CHAPTER 27-151.
11:50:34 NEXT SLIDE.
11:50:40 THERE'S A NUMBER OF OTHER MOTIONS NOT SPECIFICALLY ON THE
11:50:42 AGENDA BUT THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE PRESENTATION.
11:50:44 SOME OF THESE WERE PRESENTED IN MEMORANDUMS, OR TOUCHED UPON
11:50:49 THROUGH THE SUMMER, GIVEN SOME OF THE COUNCIL ACTIVITIES,
11:50:52 CANCELLATIONS OF MEETINGS AND THE LIKE.
11:50:54 WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GOT A WHOLE AIRING HERE FOR
11:50:59 PUBLIC PURPOSES.
11:50:59 THEY ARE SET FORTH HERE.
11:51:02 THE MOTION THAT WAS MADE LATE LAST YEAR AROUND ISSUES
11:51:07 CONCERNING SOUTH OF GANDY AREA, THE FEASIBILITY OF HOME
11:51:13 BASED AND OVERLAY DISTRICT FOR DAVIS ISLAND, QUESTIONS THAT
11:51:16 HAVE BEEN RAISED OVER THE SUMMER AROUND THE MIXED USE
11:51:19 DESIGNATION WITHIN THE COMP PLAN AND THE LDC, AND A
11:51:24 FOLLOW-UP ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT PLANS THAT
11:51:27 HAVE BEEN MOTIONED SOME TIME AGO.
11:51:29 NEXT SLIDE.
11:51:30 AND THEN FINALLY, WE WILL ALSO GIVE 2001 PRESENTATIONS ON
11:51:37 TWO AGENDA ITEMS THAT ARE LISTED HERE, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 6
11:51:42 CONCERNING THE CITY BONUS DENSITY PROVISIONS, AND AGENDA
11:51:47 ITEM NUMBER 4 WHICH HAS TO DO WITH THE 5 PERCENT DIMENSIONAL
11:51:53 CRITERIA BLOCK SPLIT WHICH WAS BRIEFLY SPOKEN ABOUT.
11:51:57 ALL OF THAT WILL BE COVERED IN THIS PRESENTATION AND A
11:52:03 COUPLE OF SUBSEQUENT ONES, AND WE WILL TRY TO GO THROUGH IT
11:52:05 AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE, BUT COMPREHENSIVELY AS IF WE ARE
11:52:09 COVERING A LOT OF GROUND HERE.
11:52:11 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:52:13 ONE OF THE OVERARCHING CONCEPTS THAT WE BELIEVE ARE
11:52:18 INTERWOVEN THROUGH ALL OF THESE MOTIONS AND MANY OF THE
11:52:21 CONCERNS WE HEARD ABOUT FROM THE PUBLIC, WE THINK ARE
11:52:24 SUMMARIZED HERE.
11:52:25 THERE ARE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS AROUND DENSITY THAT IS
11:52:28 OCCURRING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ABOUT TRAFFIC THAT COMES AS A
11:52:31 RESULT OF INCREASED DENSITY, AROUND DEVELOPMENT THAT CAN
11:52:35 OFTEN APPEAR TO BE OUT OF SCALE AND CHARACTER WITH
11:52:38 NEIGHBORHOODS, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE LEGAL, RELATIVE TO THE
11:52:40 QUESTION THAT WAS JUST ASKED.
11:52:43 ALSO, THE IMPLICATIONS OF DEVELOPMENT IN PROXIMITY TO AREAS
11:52:49 THAT ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HURRICANES AND HOW SHELTER AND
11:52:53 HURRICANE EVACUATION ISSUES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.
11:52:56 AND THEN THE GENERAL SENSE OF HOW THIS COMMUNITY AND MEMBERS
11:53:00 OF THE PUBLIC RELATE TO AND UNDERSTAND THE LONG-TERM PLAN
11:53:04 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY OF TAMPA.
11:53:07 WE WILL TRY TO ADDRESS THOSE OR AT LEAST REFLECT ON OUR
11:53:12 DESIRE TO ADDRESS THOSE FOR THE LONG-TERM.
11:53:15 SOME OF THESE ARE DIFFICULT QUESTIONS.
11:53:16 THEY ARE NOT EASILY ANSWERED.
11:53:18 BUT WE DO HAVE PLANS FOR THEM AND WAYS TO ADDRESS THEM
11:53:25 SWELLS AS WELL AS SUGGESTIONS FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER IN
11:53:27 TERMS OF ADDRESSING THESE THINGS.
11:53:29 NEXT SLIDE.
11:53:31 AND LASTLY, BEFORE WE DIG INTO THE PRESENTATION, TO
11:53:36 UNDERSTAND OUR PERSPECTIVE ON GROWTH MANAGEMENT, PLANNING
11:53:39 PRINCIPLES.
11:53:40 WE BELIEVE THAT FIRST AND FOREMOST IS THERE IS A RELIANCE ON
11:53:44 WIDE RANGE OF -- FIRST AND FOREMOST OUR MEMBERS OF THE
11:53:50 PUBLIC.
11:53:50 I WILL SPEAK ABOUT THAT IN A MOMENT.
11:53:52 BUT WITHIN OUR MUNICIPAL ORGANIZATIONS, LEGAL,
11:53:55 INFRASTRUCTURE, MOBILITY, AND THE TRANSPORTATION, OUR
11:53:59 SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE DEPARTMENT NOW, AND OF COURSE
11:54:02 OUR PARTNERS AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION, MPO AND OTHERS, THE
11:54:07 COUNTY.
11:54:08 THERE ARE NO STAKEHOLDERS THAT CAN BE LEFT BEHIND IN THIS
11:54:11 CONVERSATION.
11:54:14 WE ARE A VERY INCLUSIVE ORGANIZATION.
11:54:18 OUR APPROACH TO THESE THINGS IS TO BE INCLUSIVE AND
11:54:21 ENGAGING.
11:54:22 AND WE BELIEVE THAT THE WAY THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA WILL
11:54:25 SUCCESSFULLY MOVE FORWARD IS TO ENSURE THAT WE HEAR ALL
11:54:28 VOICES AND ACCOUNT FOR ALL VOICES IN OUR PLANNING MOVING
11:54:31 FORWARD.
11:54:32 AS I SAID, THE ATTENTION TO ENSURING THAT WE HAVE
11:54:37 COLLABORATION AND OUTREACH ACROSS OUR COMMUNITIES IS AS
11:54:42 IMPORTANT AND FAR MOST FOR US, WHETHER THAT THE CRA, THE
11:54:46 CACs, OTHER COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS, AS WELL AS
11:54:50 OUR DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY, THE PLANNERS, THE DESIGNERS AND
11:54:53 THE INVESTORS.
11:54:56 THESE ARE THE ELEMENTS THAT DRIVE OUR ECONOMIC ENGINE, AND
11:54:58 ALL OF THESE VOICES NEED TO BE HEARD AS WE PLAN OUR
11:55:01 LONG-TERM STRATEGY.
11:55:03 FINALLY, RELATIVE TO OUR PLANS MOVING FORWARD, I WOULD LIKE
11:55:08 TO THANK THE MAYOR AND LEADERSHIP OF TAMPA FOR MAKING THE
11:55:12 INVESTMENT IN OUR NEW DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH
11:55:15 MANAGEMENT.
11:55:17 WE HAVE CHANGED THE NAME TO REFLECT WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE
11:55:20 FOCUS OF THIS AREA, RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR DEVELOPMENT,
11:55:25 AND TO ENSURE THAT THAT ECONOMIC ENGINE CONTINUES, HAVING IT
11:55:30 BE DONE IN A MEASURED AND STRATEGIC WAY THAT ENSURES
11:55:35 PROTECTION AND RESPECT FOR OUR EXISTING COMMUNITIES AND
11:55:40 UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
11:55:43 WE ALSO HAVE OUR NEW DIRECTOR ONBOARD, ABBYE FEELEY, WHO
11:55:48 ALREADY RECEIVED SOME OF THE BENEFIT OF HER KNOWLEDGE,
11:55:50 EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND.
11:55:51 WE WELCOME ABBYE FEELEY FOR THE PAST 18 YEARS WITH BE THE
11:55:56 CITY, AND NOW ALSO HAS THE ADDITION OF HER PRIVATE SECTOR
11:56:00 EXPERIENCE, WILL BE A WONDERFUL ASSET TO HELP DRIVE OUR
11:56:05 DIRECTION FOR THE TEAM MOVING FORWARD.
11:56:10 WE ALSO HAVE THE ADDITION OF OUR NEW CHIEF BUILDING
11:56:13 OFFICIAL, JOHN HUTCHINSON, I DON'T KNOW IF ALL OF UP HAD A
11:56:17 CHANCE TO MEET HIM, BUT HE WILL ALSO BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF
11:56:21 DRIVING THIS ON CONSTRUCTION SERVICES AND DEVELOPMENT SIDE.
11:56:24 THEN LASTLY, AS I HAVE SPOKEN BEFORE, IS THE FORMALIZING OF
11:56:28 OUR CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT, IN THAT FUNCTION, WHICH IS AN
11:56:33 INTEGRAL PART OF HAVING A STRATEGIC PLANNING STRATEGY MOVING
11:56:38 FORWARD.
11:56:39 AND RANDY GOERS WILL BE LEADING THAT.
11:56:41 SO WITH THAT AS THE BACKGROUND, I WILL TURN THE MICROPHONE
11:56:44 OVER TO RANDY GOERS.
11:56:46 HE WILL WALK US THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION.
11:56:50 AGAIN, THERE IS A LOT TO COVER HERE.
11:56:51 WE DO FEEL LIKE HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THIS DATA,
11:56:58 AND THE INFORMATION THAT IS INTEGRAL TO DRIVE OUR STRATEGIC
11:57:02 OBJECTIVE IS AN IMPORTANT PART BEFORE WE GET INTO THE
11:57:05 ELEMENTS OF OUR PLAN, AND CONCLUDE WITH THE SUGGESTIONS AND
11:57:10 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONSIDERATION.
11:57:12 SO RANDY, YOU CAN TAKE IT.
11:57:14 >>RANDY GOERS: DIRECTOR OF CITY PLANNING.
11:57:18 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:57:20 BEFORE WE GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THE QUESTION ABOUT WHERE
11:57:25 GROWTH SHOULD BE DIRECTED, IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE
11:57:28 TYPE OF GROWTH THAT WE ARE EXPECTING ON A BROADER BASIS.
11:57:32 NEXT SLIDE.
11:57:33 WHICH REALLY GETS INTO THE QUESTION ABOUT POPULATION
11:57:37 EMPLOYMENT PROJECTION.
11:57:38 THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONTAINS THE POPULATION OF
11:57:42 PROJECTIONS AND THAT REALLY DAVIS THE GROWTH STRATEGY, BASED
11:57:46 ON THE DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS AND HOW THEY MAY IMPACT OUR
11:57:49 COMMUNITY IN THE FUTURE.
11:57:51 VARIOUS GROWTH SCENARIOS WERE DEVELOPED IN PREPARATION OF
11:57:54 THE PROJECTIONS.
11:57:57 THESE WERE DEVELOPED A FEW YEARS AGO AS PART OF THE PLAN
11:57:59 UPDATE, 2016 AND ALSO FOR THE MPO LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION
11:58:04 PLAN.
11:58:06 THE PREFERRED SCENARIO WAS SELECTED WHICH REALLY IS A HYBRID
11:58:09 OF THE OTHER SCENARIOS AT THE TIME.
11:58:13 INPUT WAS RECEIVED FROM ALL FOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AS WELL
11:58:16 AS THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE.
11:58:18 AND THEN KEEP IN MIND POPULATION PROJECTIONS ARE NON-ADOPTED
11:58:24 PLANNING TOOL.
11:58:25 AND IN CERTAIN AREAS, PROJECTED TO GROW BY A CERTAIN AMOUNT,
11:58:31 THAT HELPS US IN OUR PLANNING, DEVELOP PLANNING POLICIES,
11:58:33 BUT THEY AREN'T ADOPTED NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE TO HIT OR NOT
11:58:38 HIT.
11:58:38 THEY HELP US UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS OF WHAT IS THE NEED
11:58:41 FOURTH AREA.
11:58:42 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
11:58:44 SO STARTING OUT, WE LOOK AT THE PROJECTIONS FOR THE
11:58:48 COUNTYWIDE POPULATION PROJECTIONS.
11:58:50 THIS DRIVES EVERYTHING IN THE COUNTY FOR THE JURISDICTION
11:58:54 AND THE BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH DEVELOPED THE POPULATION
11:59:00 PROJECTIONS FOR ALL COUNTIES IN THE STATE.
11:59:04 THEY DEVELOPED THREE RANGES OF POPULATION PROJECTIONS, AND
11:59:07 THEN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ADOPT THE POPULATION PROJECTION
11:59:11 THAT MAKE THE MOST SENSE FOR THEIR PARTICULAR COUNTY.
11:59:14 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IS TRADITIONALLY ADOPTED THE MEDIUM
11:59:17 PROJECTION, AND IN THIS CASE IT SHOWS THAT BY 2045 THE TOTAL
11:59:21 POPULATION FOR HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY WOULD BE ABOUT 27,000
11:59:28 PEOPLE.
11:59:28 THAT'S THE PLAN WE USE FOR THE PLAN.
11:59:31 2,007,000.
11:59:35 THE COUNTY HAS BEEN ADDING APPROXIMATELY 24,000 PEOPLE EACH
11:59:38 YEAR.
11:59:38 YOU CAN SEE HOW THE AVERAGE OR YEARLY RATE.
11:59:45 NEXT SLIDE.
11:59:46 DURING THAT SAME PERIOD THE CITY OF TAMPA HAS BEEN AVERAGING
11:59:48 ABOUT 6,000 -- 6085 PEOPLE PER YEAR AND IT SHOWS AGAIN WITH
12:00:01 THE COUNTY.
12:00:01 THIS SLIDE AND NEXT SLIDE PROVIDE SOME VERY INTERESTING
12:00:05 INFORMATION.
12:00:05 THIS IS A COMPARISON OF THE AVERAGE ALLOWABLE DENSITY
12:00:11 CITY-WIDE FOR OUR PLANNED CATEGORY.
12:00:14 AND THE ACTUAL DENSITIES OR THE AVERAGE DEVELOPED DENSITIES
12:00:18 OCCURRING.
12:00:19 THERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS AND SOME CHALLENGING NEWS IN THESE
12:00:22 NUMBERS.
12:00:22 FIRST PART THAT OUR PLAN HAS ADEQUATE CAPACITY TO HANDLE
12:00:27 FUTURE GROWTH, PLANNED CATEGORIES TODAY.
12:00:31 YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE ON AVERAGE PER RESIDENTIAL DENSITY,
12:00:36 19 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE, AVERAGING ABOUT 5.1 DWELLING USE
12:00:41 PER ACRE IN ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT.
12:00:43 AGAIN, THIS IS CITY-WIDE, BECAUSE SOME PLACES IN THE CITY
12:00:46 WHERE THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT IS CLOSER TO THE FUTURE LAND
12:00:52 USE CATEGORY.
12:00:53 BUT BY AND LARGE, WE HAVE GOT A LOT OF CAPACITY TO HANDLE
12:00:57 FUTURE GROWTH.
12:00:57 NEXT SLIDE.
12:00:59 THIS IS THE SAME ANALYSIS BUT LOOKING AT THE FARs FOR
12:01:03 COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
12:01:04 AGAIN IT SHOWS THAT WE HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF CAPACITY OF
12:01:09 PLANNED CATEGORY TO ACCOMMODATE THE COMMERCIAL GROWTH.
12:01:22 WE HAVE CAPACITY TO DEAL WITH FUTURE GROWTH.
12:01:24 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:01:26 HERE WE GO.
12:01:27 ON AVERAGE, WE HAVE SUFFICIENT CAPACITY IN OUR FUTURE LAND
12:01:31 USE CATEGORIES TO ADDRESS FUTURE GROWTH, BUT WE MAY NEED TO
12:01:37 BEGIN LOOKING AT WHERE THAT CAPACITY EXISTS RELATIVE TO
12:01:41 LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
12:01:43 IT MIGHT BE TO SAY THAT SOME AREAS THAT FEEL THAT THEY ARE
12:01:49 BEING OVERBUILT, MAYBE THE PLANNED CATEGORY, HAVE TOO MUCH
12:01:52 CAPACITY IN THOSE AREAS, OR MAYBE WE NEED TO DEVELOP THE NEW
12:01:55 PLAN CATEGORY THAT CAN BE USED IN THE FUTURE TO HELP ADDRESS
12:01:59 SOME OF THE DISPARITIES AND GROWTH THAT MIGHT BE OCCURRING.
12:02:02 SO WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT TRYING -- LOOKING AT ASSESSING
12:02:07 FUTURE PLANNED CATEGORIES IN THE FUTURE, AND DETERMINE THE
12:02:12 APPROPRIATENESS OF THOSE PLANNED CATEGORIES AND THE LOCATION
12:02:16 OF THE CITY.
12:02:17 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:02:19 THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE MIXED USE PLANNED
12:02:24 CATEGORY.
12:02:25 WE WERE ASKED TO PROVIDE A DEFINITION FROM THE COMP PLAN.
12:02:29 THE DEFINITION IS FROM THE COMP PLAN, IS A TAPE OF
12:02:32 DEVELOPMENT THAT COMBINES THE MIX OF USES THAT MAY INCLUDE
12:02:35 RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, AND/OR OFFICE, WITHIN ONE BUILDING,
12:02:40 OR WALKABLE BUILDING, BUT DIRECT PEDESTRIAN ACCESS.
12:02:44 SO IT COULD BE ONE BUILDING.
12:02:45 IT COULD BE VERTICALLY MIXED, VIRTUALLY INTEGRATED, OR
12:02:49 SEVERAL BUILDINGS THAT THAT ARE TOGETHER PROVIDE PEDESTRIAN
12:02:53 ACCESS.
12:02:55 THIS WAS THE MOTION THAT WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER
12:02:58 TO LOOK AT THE DEFINITION OF WHAT THE MIXED USE CATEGORY
12:03:03 WAS.
12:03:06 THE COMP PLAN, THERE IS NO SPECIFIED NUMBER OR PERCENTAGE
12:03:09 FOR MIXED USE.
12:03:12 TYPICALLY, OFFERED UP TO THE MARKET TO DETERMINE WHAT THAT
12:03:17 PERCENTAGE WOULD BE.
12:03:19 AND USUALLY TAKES TIME, IN OUR EXPERIENCE. THIS IS ONE OF
12:03:22 THE THINGS WE MAY WANT TO LOOK AT, WHERE IT'S BEEN WORKING
12:03:25 IN THE CITY AND WHERE IT'S HAPPENED.
12:03:26 AND THERE ARE PLACES IN HYDE PARK, PALM A SEE, A YBOR CITY,
12:03:32 WHERE WE KNOW WE CAN WALK, AND WE KNOW THERE'S SINGLE-USE
12:03:36 BUILDINGS THAT ARE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO OTHER USES, AND YET
12:03:41 THAT ENVIRONMENT IS A MIXED USE AREA, AND THAT WE ALL FEEL
12:03:45 THAT IT'S THE TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT THAT WE ARE TRYING TO
12:03:47 CREATE.
12:03:47 EVEN THOUGH THOSE BUILDINGS AND THOSE PARCELS ARE ALL SINGLE
12:03:51 USE.
12:03:51 THERE ARE ALSO PLACES IN DOWNTOWN, THE CHANNEL DISTRICT AND
12:03:54 OTHER AREAS, THAT ARE STARTING TO DEVELOP WHERE THERE'S
12:03:56 VERTICALLY INTEGRATED MIXED USE THAT PROVIDES THE SAME TYPE
12:04:00 OF PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENTS TO OCCUR.
12:04:03 SO I THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN LOOKING AT WHERE
12:04:05 THE MIXED USE EITHER PLANNED CATEGORIES ARE WORKING, AND HOW
12:04:11 THAT ENVIRONMENT BE CREATED AND THEN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
12:04:15 WHAT MAY BE MIXED USE CATEGORIES OR BEING VIEWED, IN AND
12:04:19 THAT ENVIRONMENT IS THOUGHT OCCURRING.
12:04:21 SO WE THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASSESS OUR MIXED USE
12:04:23 CATEGORY AS WE MOVE ON.
12:04:26 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:04:30 BASICALLY, WE ARE GROWING IN RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN THE LAST
12:04:35 TEN YEARS.
12:04:36 THERE'S BEEN A 4% INCREASE IN OUR COMPOSITION.
12:04:40 SO IN 2010 WE WERE ABOUT 30% OF MULTIFAMILY UNITS, AND NOW
12:04:47 IN 2019, 2020, WE ARE AT ABOUT 34%.
12:04:50 SO WE ARE GROWING OR SHIFTING MORE TO MULTIFAMILY, AS A
12:04:57 DIRECT RESULT OF THE FACT WE HAVE VERY LITTLE LAND AVAILABLE
12:05:01 LEFT FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.
12:05:02 NEW SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT IS REALLY TAKING SHAPE IN NEW
12:05:06 TAMPA, WHERE THE LAND HAS BEEN AVAILABLE FOR SINGLE-FAMILY
12:05:09 DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA.
12:05:13 ALSO YOU SEE ON THE CHART, THE GROWTH IN HOUSING UNITS FROM
12:05:18 2010, 2019, ABOUT 24,000 HOUSES DURING THAT PERIOD, ALMOST A
12:05:26 13% INCREASE.
12:05:27 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:05:30 NOW WE GET TO SOME OF THE POPULATION ESTIMATES BY
12:05:33 JURISDICTION FOR 2045.
12:05:37 AND I MENTIONED TO YOU, THE SLIDE OF OVER 2 MILLION PEOPLE
12:05:42 THAT WERE PROJECTED FOR 2045.
12:05:45 THIS IS THE ALLOCATION FOR THE JURISDICTION, SO HILLSBOROUGH
12:05:48 COUNTY, INCORPORATE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY POPULATION BEING
12:05:53 TARGETED AT 1.3 MILLION WITH AN INCREASE OF AROUND 350,000
12:05:58 PEOPLE.
12:05:58 CITY OF TAMPA IS PROJECTED TO HAVE A TOTAL POPULATION OF
12:06:02 ABOUT 560,000 WITH AN INCREASE OF ABOUT 169,000 PEOPLE.
12:06:08 THIS IS I THINK AN IMPORTANT SLIDE TO KEEP IN MIND, BECAUSE
12:06:13 WE ARE HEARING FROM OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES ABOUT THE AMOUNT
12:06:15 OF GROWTH THAT'S BEING -- THAT THEY ARE SEEING IN THEIR
12:06:19 NEIGHBORHOOD.
12:06:19 BUT WE ARE ALL PART OF A LARGER COUNTYWIDE GROWTH TREND
12:06:24 WHERE GROWTH IS HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, IN
12:06:26 DIFFERENT AREAS.
12:06:28 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:06:30 THIS IS THE 2045 EMPLOYMENT GROWTH BY JURISDICTION SHOWING
12:06:37 THAT HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AND THE CITY OF TAMPA WILL INCREASE
12:06:40 IN EMPLOYMENT, CITY'S EMPLOYMENT IS LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO
12:06:44 GROW AT A HIGHER AMOUNT THAN THE COUNTY, AGAIN ABOUT ANOTHER
12:06:49 169,000 FOR EMPLOYEES.
12:06:54 KEEP IN MIND THAT THOSE NUMBERS, 169,000 RESIDENT, 169,000
12:06:59 EMPLOYEES, BECAUSE THERE'S A SLIDE LATER ON I AM GOING TO
12:07:03 WANT TO REFERENCE BACK TO THAT.
12:07:05 BUT GENERALLY YOU CAN SEE THAT WE ARE GOING -- THE CITY OF
12:07:07 TAMPA AND HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IS SCHEDULED TO RECEIVE QUITE
12:07:11 A BIT OF GROWTH BETWEEN NOW AND 2045.
12:07:15 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:07:18 EVEN THOUGH THE CITY OF TAMPA IS PROJECTED TO GROW TO ABOUT
12:07:24 560,000 PEOPLE, OUR PERCENTAGE OF COUNTYWIDE POPULATION IS
12:07:30 GOING TO STAY THE SAME.
12:07:31 AND IN 2010, OUR POPULATION REPRESENTED ABOUT 28% OF THE
12:07:36 OVERALL COUNTY POPULATION, IN 2045, WE ARE STILL PROJECTED
12:07:41 TO REPRESENT ABOUT 28% OF THE OVERALL COUNTY POPULATION.
12:07:46 SO EVEN THOUGH WE ARE GROWING, WE ARE GROWING BY A GREAT
12:07:49 DEAL OF THE PERCENTAGEWISE FROM THE COUNTY.
12:07:53 WE ARE BASICALLY GOING TO BE AT THE SAME RATE.
12:07:56 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:07:58 THE EMPLOYMENT COMPARISON THAT WE WILL SHIFT, WE ARE GOING
12:08:03 TO GROW IN EMPLOYMENT, BUT A PERCENTAGE OF THE COUNTYWIDE
12:08:06 EMPLOYMENT, WHEN YOU GO UP ABOUT 1%.
12:08:11 IN 2010 WE WERE 47% OF THE COUNTY.
12:08:14 OVERALL EMPLOYMENT BY 2045 WE EXPECT TO BE AROUND 48% OF
12:08:19 TOTAL EMPLOYMENT.
12:08:20 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:08:23 IN LOOKING AT COUNTYWIDE EMPLOYMENT PATTERNS, FOR ANALYSIS
12:08:27 PURPOSES, THE COUNTY WAS DIVIDED TO 34 PLANNING AREAS.
12:08:31 NEXT SLIDE.
12:08:33 THIS SLIDE, THE KEY TAKEAWAY, THE AREAS THAT ARE IN RED HAVE
12:08:41 A RED BAR UNDERNEATH, THE CITY AREAS, AND WHAT IT SHOWS IS
12:08:44 THAT ALMOST EVERY AREA WITHIN THE COUNTY IS EXPECTED TO GROW
12:08:49 EXCEPT FOR THOSE AREAS THAT DIDN'T HAVE RESIDENTIAL
12:08:52 DEVELOPMENT TO BEGIN WITH, LIKE MacDILL AIR FORCE BASE,
12:08:55 OR THE PORT OF TAMPA.
12:08:58 AND THEN A FEW AREAS WHICH ARE TOTAL BUILDOUT IN TERMS OF
12:09:01 THE LOT.
12:09:02 BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND OR TO SEE THAT WE ARE ALL
12:09:05 GOING TO BE GROWING, EVERY AREA OF THE CITY AND THE COUNTY
12:09:07 IS PROJECTED TO GROW.
12:09:10 IF YOU LOOK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OR LEFT SIDE OF THE CHART
12:09:12 WHERE THE STAR IS, THAT'S DOWNTOWN TAMPA.
12:09:15 OF ALL THE AREAS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, THE DOWNTOWN PLANNING
12:09:18 AREA IS PROJECTED TO RECEIVE THE MOST GROWTH IN THE CITY.
12:09:22 ON THE RIGHT SIDE, THE LARGE BAR, THAT'S SOUTH COUNTY.
12:09:28 WEST COUNTY IS PROJECTED TO RECEIVE THE MOST GROWTH OF ALL
12:09:31 AREAS IN THE COUNTY.
12:09:32 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:09:35 THIS IS THE SAME ANALYSIS SHOWING EMPLOYMENT THAT CLEARLY
12:09:38 SHOWS THAT DOWNTOWN TAMPA WILL BE THE DOMINANT EMPLOYMENT
12:09:42 GROWTH CENTER OF THE FUTURE.
12:09:44 IT WILL SURPASS THE WESTSHORE BUSINESS DISTRICT AS THE AREA
12:09:49 WITH THE MOST EMPLOYMENT, AND BETWEEN THE DOWNTOWN AND
12:09:53 WESTSHORE, THEY BECOME THE DOMINANT EMPLOYMENT CENTERS IN
12:09:58 THE REGION.
12:09:59 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:10:08 SO WHERE THIS IS STARTING TO BRING US, WE START LOOKING AT
12:10:10 THE GROWTH TREND FOR THE AREA, WE START LOOKING AT SOME OF
12:10:13 THE POPULATION PROJECTIONS, A PATTERN STARTS TO EMERGE IN
12:10:18 TERMS OF WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE GROWTH.
12:10:20 WHEN WE VIEW AREAS THAT ARE DESIRED TO BUILD OR AREAS WHERE
12:10:25 WE WANT TO SEE GROWTH, THIS IS THE PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT
12:10:28 THAT STARTS TO EMERGE, AND THAT IS THE WESTSHORE, DOWNTOWN,
12:10:32 USF EMPLOYMENT CENTER, BRANDON, AND PLANT CITY WHERE WE SEE
12:10:36 THE RESIDENTIAL AND EMPLOYMENT GROWTH IN THOSE AREAS.
12:10:40 NOTE THAT ALL AREAS OF THE COUNTY EXCEPT FOR MAYBE THE
12:10:44 OUTLYING RURAL AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO GROW.
12:10:46 ALL AREAS OF THE CITY ARE EXPECT TO GROW.
12:10:49 THERE'S NO AREA THAT WE ARE SAYING NO GROWTH IS GOING TO
12:10:51 OCCUR.
12:10:52 WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS THERE ARE AREAS OF THE CITY WHERE WE
12:10:54 WANT TO ENCOURAGE IT TO HAPPEN.
12:10:58 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:11:01 AND THE REASON THAT WE LOVE TO SEE MORE GROWTH HAPPEN IN
12:11:04 THOSE AREAS IS, THIS IS WHERE THE MAJOR TRANSPORTATION
12:11:08 IMPROVEMENTS ARE BEING TARGETED.
12:11:09 ALL THE MASS TRANSIT DISCUSSIONS, OF LINKING THE WESTSHORE
12:11:14 TO DOWNTOWN, USF, BRANDON, OVER TO PLANT CITY, THEN ONTO
12:11:19 OTHER AREAS, IS ALL DEPENDENT ON ACHIEVING THE TYPE OF
12:11:23 DENSITY THAT WE WANT TO CREATOR SUPPORT MULTIMODAL
12:11:27 IMPROVEMENTS.
12:11:28 SO THE PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS
12:11:32 DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE TRANSPORTATION AND MULTIMODAL
12:11:35 IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE BEING PLANNED.
12:11:37 AND VICE VERSA.
12:11:38 THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ARE BEING PROGRAMMED TO BE ABLE TO SERVE
12:11:43 THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE HOPE TO ACHIEVE.
12:11:47 I ASKED YOU TO KEEP IN MIND 169,000 PEOPLE RESIDENTS AND
12:11:51 ALSO THE EMPLOYEES.
12:11:53 THIS SLIDE SHOULD REFLECT THOSE TWO NUMBERS, 212 AND 204.
12:12:00 OUR BASIC QUESTION AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND THE QUESTION THAT
12:12:02 WE ARE HEARING FROM MANY PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA REALLY
12:12:05 GETS DOWN TO WHERE ARE THOSE 169,000 RESIDENTS GOING TO FIND
12:12:10 THEMSELVES, AND WHERE WILL THE 169,000 EMPLOYEES BE WORKING?
12:12:14 AND THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH AS WE MOVE
12:12:18 FORWARD.
12:12:19 TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF 169,000 RESIDENTS LOOKS LIKE, YOU ARE
12:12:23 LOOKING AT ABOUT 2.57 PEOPLE PER HOUSEHOLD, ABOUT 16, 17,000
12:12:31 HOUSING UNITS.
12:12:32 AND IF YOU HAVE AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AROUND 350 PEOPLE,
12:12:36 THAT'S STILL ABOUT 175, 180 APARTMENT BUILDINGS AT 350 UNITS
12:12:42 EACH.
12:12:43 SO THAT'S A LOT OF APARTMENT BUILDINGS OF THAT SIZE TO
12:12:46 FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO.
12:12:47 NOT EVERYBODY WANTS AN APARTMENTS BUILDING.
12:12:49 SOME PEOPLE STILL WANTS TO LIVE IN TOWNHOMES, HIGH-RISES.
12:12:52 SO THAT'S THE CHALLENGE OF WHERE THE GROWTH WOULD BE
12:12:56 SITUATED OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS, 25 YEARS.
12:13:00 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:13:02 SO LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OF OUR TOOLS, HOW WE MANAGE SOME OF
12:13:06 THIS GROWTH AND HOW THEY WORK.
12:13:09 NEXT SLIDE.
12:13:10 WE HAVE BASICALLY FOUR TOOLS.
12:13:16 ONE IS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, FUTURE LAND USE MAP, URBAN
12:13:21 FORM TOOLS AND LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
12:13:23 NEXT SLIDE.
12:13:23 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: CAN WE STOP ONE SECOND?
12:13:27 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR.
12:13:28 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: RANDY, CAN YOU GO BACK A FEW SLIDES?
12:13:38 ONE MORE.
12:13:39 OKAY.
12:13:51 OKAY.
12:13:52 RANDY, THESE ARE ALL GOOD THOUGHTS.
12:13:55 BUT LOOKING AT THIS, IT'S A BIG CONCEPT.
12:14:07 DO THE DOTTED LINES SHOW WHERE WE MIGHT HAVE, YOU KNOW,
12:14:11 FUTURE RAIL LINE, BUS SERVICE, ET CETERA, ET CETERA?
12:14:16 BUT THEN YOU SHOW ROADS DOWN THERE, LET'S SAY, FOR EXAMPLE,
12:14:23 IN SITE TAMPA, AND THEN EVEN SOUTH OF GANDY, WHICH IS
12:14:32 [ INAUDIBLE ] YOU SHOW A LIGHT PURPLE AND DARK PURPLE, BUT
12:14:36 YOU DON'T SHOW ANY ANTICIPATED TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT TO
12:14:41 SPEAK OF.
12:14:42 AND THEN UP IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE CITY, INCLUDING
12:14:46 WEST TAMPA, LIKE THE NORTHWEST, AND IN LIGHT PURPLE AND DARK
12:14:59 PURPLE, BUT NOT -- BUT NO TRANSPORTATION.
12:15:05 SO I AM JUST WONDERING WHY THE INCONSISTENCY THERE.
12:15:12 I THINK THAT'S PART OF THE REBELLION THAT WE ARE STARTING TO
12:15:18 HEAR FROM PEOPLE.
12:15:22 DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS RELATED TO THAT?
12:15:24 >>RANDY GOERS: I THINK THE REST OF THE REPORT OR
12:15:30 PRESENTATION WILL ADDRESS MUCH OF THAT.
12:15:33 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I KNOW WHAT'S COMING, BUT I WANTED TO
12:15:40 FOCUS IN ON THE STAFF IN PARTICULAR.
12:15:45 IT CONCERNS ME, AND ANYBODY WHO LIVES IN THESE AREAS MIGHT
12:15:53 WELL BE CONCERNED.
12:15:54 >>RANDY GOERS: IT'S A GOOD QUESTION, MR. DINGFELDER.
12:15:59 AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS A HIGH LEVEL MAP OF THE AREA.
12:16:02 THE LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR THE COUNTY SPECIFIES
12:16:06 ALL OF THE SPECIFIC TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS WHICH ARE
12:16:09 DESIGNED TO SERVE THIS PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT.
12:16:12 SO I WOULD SAY THAT MANY OF THE QUESTIONS YOU ASKED ABOUT
12:16:15 SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS LINKING THE DIFFERENT AREAS ARE
12:16:19 OUTLINED IN THE LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN AS WELL.
12:16:29 LET ME, IF I CO, MOVE OTHER THAN THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:16:35 I WENT TO GET CAUGHT UP TO THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
12:16:38 HERE WE GO.
12:16:39 OKAY.
12:16:41 IN THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE TOOL THAT WE USE TO
12:16:44 HELP GUIDE THE DEVELOPMENT TO WHERE WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE US
12:16:48 TO GO, ONE OF THEM ARE THE TOOLS OF THE PLANNING DISTRICT,
12:16:51 THE CITY IS DIVIDED INTO FIVE MAJOR PLANNING DISTRICTS IN
12:16:55 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
12:16:56 THE AREA IN THE CIRCLE IS THE CENTRAL TAMPA DISTRICT, USF
12:17:04 NORTH TAMPA DISTRICT, AND THE WESTSHORE DISTRICT.
12:17:07 THIS AREA ALSO COINCIDES WITH THE AREAS IN PURPLE THAT WERE
12:17:13 SHOWN ON THE MAP A COUPLE SLIDES AGO.
12:17:16 WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TRYING TO FIND THE AREA THAT WE ARE
12:17:19 TRYING TO ENCOURAGE MORE DEVELOPMENT, THIS IS THE AREA THAT
12:17:22 WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, THE TARGETED DISTRICTS OF THE CITY.
12:17:26 THIS IS ALSO THE AREAS THAT CONTAIN THE BUSINESS CENTERS,
12:17:30 CBD, WEST SHORE AND USF BUSINESS CENTERS.
12:17:33 IT'S THE AREA THAT ALSO INCLUDES CRA, ENTERPRISE ZONE,
12:17:37 OPPORTUNITY ZONE, URBAN VILLAGES.
12:17:43 TO ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT ARE TYPICALLY FOUND IN THIS AREA AS
12:17:46 WELL.
12:17:46 IT'S ALSO WHERE THE MAJOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS IN
12:17:51 TERMS OF RAIL, THE LARGER INVESTMENTS ARE INITIALLY SERVED,
12:17:58 TALKING ABOUT THE I DON'T, THE WESTSHORE, USF, AND ALSO
12:18:01 LINKING IT TO THE OTHER AREAS.
12:18:02 BUT ALSO INCLUDES THE TA STRATEGY WHICH TALKS ABOUT THE
12:18:08 PRIMARY TRANSIT CORRIDORS AND HOW THE STRATEGY IS USED TO
12:18:12 HELP ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA, BUT ALSO ONE OF THE
12:18:15 MAJOR TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS IN THE INVESTMENTS THAT ARE
12:18:18 MADE THERE, BUT ALSO THE AREA WHICH IS TYPICALLY WHEN WE ARE
12:18:23 ASKED OR BRINGING FORWARD CODE CHANGES WHERE THERE IS AN
12:18:28 INCENTIVE, A BONUS INCENTIVE OR PARKING INCENTIVE, OR
12:18:33 DENSITY INCENTIVE.
12:18:34 USUALLY IT'S HAPPENING TO AREAS THAT ARE IN THIS AREA.
12:18:36 SO THIS IS THE AREA WHERE WE TRY TO TARGET A VARIETY OF
12:18:40 DIFFERENT MECHANISMS TO ENCOURAGE REDEVELOPMENT, MORE
12:18:45 DEVELOPMENT, TO ACHIEVE A PATTERN THAT WE ARE TRYING TO
12:18:48 ACHIEVE.
12:18:49 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:18:51 THIS SLIDE CONTAINS A SNAPSHOT OF A PLANNING DISTRICT. THIS
12:18:56 IS THE CENTRAL PLANNING DISTRICT.
12:18:57 IT SHOWS ON THE MAP A VARIETY OF THE TOOLS THAT I TALK
12:18:59 ABOUT, HAS THE URBAN VILLAGES, SOME OF THOSE URBAN VILLAGES
12:19:03 ARE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREAS, AND THEIR PLAN, THE
12:19:06 TRANSIT DEVELOP OR LIGHT RAIL SHOWN IN THE AREA.
12:19:11 YOU CAN SEE ALONG THE MAJOR CORRIDORS THAT THERE'S SORT OF
12:19:17 ORANGE COLOR, THOSE ARE PRIMARY TRANSIT CORRIDORS WHERE WE
12:19:20 ARE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE MORE DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE ROUTES
12:19:24 THAT ARE PROGRAMMED FOR MORE TRANSIT, OR ADDITIONAL TRANSIT.
12:19:28 AND SO THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT SOME OF THE TOOLS OF
12:19:31 THE PLAN TO TRY TO ENCOURAGE REDEVELOPMENT, OR MORE
12:19:34 DEVELOPMENT THAN THE URBAN VILLAGES.
12:19:37 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:19:39 THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IMPLEMENTS THE VISION OF THE PLAN,
12:19:44 ESTABLISHING THE RANGE OF THAN DENSITY, AND HOW DEVELOPMENT
12:19:50 SHOULD BE MANAGED FOR THE FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY AND IT
12:19:54 REALLY IS THE PRIMARY LAND USE, TO PRIMARY GROWTH MANAGEMENT
12:19:57 TOOL THAT WE HAVE.
12:19:59 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:20:00 THIS IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
12:20:06 MOST OF US WHO SEE THIS ON A ROUTINE BASIS ARE VERY FAMILIAR
12:20:10 WITH IT.
12:20:11 THIS IS FROM DOWNTOWN TO YBOR CITY TO EAST TAMPA.
12:20:13 WHAT YOU CAN SEE IS THE DARKER RED LAND USES, HIGHER
12:20:18 DENSITY, HIGHER INTENSITY, PLANNED USES, MIXED USE, STARTS
12:20:23 GIVING WAY TO LESS INTENSITY AND DENSITY AND LESS MIXED USE
12:20:27 INTO MORE OF A SINGLE-FAMILY PATTERN.
12:20:31 NOW, IF SOMEBODY WAS TO ASK YOU, WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR MY
12:20:34 AREA, THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS THE PRIMARY MECHANISM FOR
12:20:39 COMMUNICATING WHAT A PERSON'S PROPERTY OR NEIGHBORHOOD'S
12:20:42 FUTURE PLAN IS.
12:20:43 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:20:45 WE UNDERSTAND, WE RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S NOT THE EASIEST
12:20:49 DOCUMENT TO UNDERSTAND UNLESS YOU READ ALL THE OTHER
12:20:52 POLICIES AND THE IDEAL BASIS OF WHAT THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP
12:20:55 REALLY MEANS.
12:20:56 SO WE ARE MOVING FORWARD AND LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN BRING IN
12:21:00 FROM 3 D VISUALIZATION TOOL TO HELP COMMUNICATE WHAT THE
12:21:04 PLAN REALLY MEANS.
12:21:07 THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT COULD BE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM A
12:21:11 SINGLE FAMILY PLANNED USE NEXT TO A MULTIFAMILY LAND USE.
12:21:15 SO RESIDENTS CAN HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF THE TYPE OF DENSITY
12:21:20 THAT IS PLANNED FOR THE AREA TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
12:21:24 THE 3-D VISUALIZATION TOOLS ARE ALSO SOPHISTICATED ENOUGH TO
12:21:28 BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY SHOW HOW PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS OR
12:21:31 PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS WOULD LOOK IN THE ACTUAL ENVIRONMENT.
12:21:34 SO ONE OF OUR EFFORTS MOVING FORWARD IS TO LOOK AT THESE
12:21:40 TOOLS AND TRY TO CONVERT OUR PLAN INTO SOMETHING THAT IS
12:21:43 MORE USER FRIENDLY TO BE ABLE TO -- NOT ONLY CAN BE USED FOR
12:21:49 FUTURE LAND USE OR DEVELOPMENT, BUT PARKS CAN BE PUT ON IT,
12:21:53 PLANNED INFRASTRUCTURE CAN BE ADDED TO IT, ALL THE THINGS
12:21:56 THAT WE TALK ABOUT IN TERMS OF PEOPLE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT IS
12:21:58 HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY CAN BE ADDED IN A WAY THAT IS
12:22:01 EASILY UNDERSTOOD AND CONSUMED BY THE COMMUNITY.
12:22:04 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:22:06 SO BIG QUESTIONS, WE HAVE THESE BEFORE US, AND ARE THEY
12:22:11 WORKING, AND HOW ARE THEY WORKING?
12:22:13 SO WE DID A LITTLE BIT OF ANALYSIS, A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS.
12:22:16 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:22:18 AND WE LOOKED AT FIRST PLAN AMENDMENT.
12:22:22 AND WHAT WE FOUND, WE LOOKED BACK FROM 2010 IS THAT -- AND
12:22:27 YOU CAN SEE THE TABLES SHOW, A SERIES OF TABLES, JUST LIKE
12:22:31 THIS, WE COMBINED THE THREE PLANNING DISTRICTS THAT ARE IN
12:22:35 THE CIRCLE.
12:22:36 THOSE ARE THE AREAS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO TARGET.
12:22:39 AND THE OTHER TWO DISTRICTS SOUTH TAMPA AND NEW TAMPA ARE
12:22:42 BELOW THAT.
12:22:43 SO IN THIS CASE, IN TERMS OF PLAN AMENDMENTS, 2010, 69% OF
12:22:49 THE PLAN AMENDMENT THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED ARE IN THE
12:22:54 TARGETED DISTRICT.
12:22:55 SO WE WOULD LOOK AT THAT AS SAYING THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TRYING
12:22:59 TO ACHIEVE, MORE CHANGE AND MORE GROWTH IN THAT AREA THAN WE
12:23:02 WOULD IN THE OTHER AREAS.
12:23:04 SO ON ONE HAND, ON THE PLAN AMENDMENT, IT LOOKS LIKE THE
12:23:09 PLAN IS GUIDING MORE DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA THAT WE ARE
12:23:11 TARGETING.
12:23:12 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:23:15 WHEN WE LOOK AT REZONING, WE SEE THAT IT'S NEARLY HALF OF
12:23:19 THE REZONING ARE BEING TARGETED INTO THOSE TARGETED
12:23:23 DISTRICTS.
12:23:25 I WOULD STILL SAY THAT THE PLAN IS WORKING IN THIS RESPECT
12:23:30 BECAUSE IN THE COUNTY FOR GROWTH IN THE OTHER DISTRICTS IS
12:23:35 REALLY IN NEW TAMPA WHERE THERE'S ABOUT 1900 ACRES THAT WENT
12:23:41 SOME SORT OF REZONING IN THE PAST TEN YEARS.
12:23:43 IN LOOKING AT IT PART OF IT WAS ANNEXATION.
12:23:46 OTHER PARTS WERE BRINGING IT INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THE FUTURE
12:23:49 LAND USE MAP.
12:23:52 THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DIDN'T CHANGE TO CREATE MUCH MORE
12:23:55 INTENSITY AND DENSITY.
12:23:57 SO ALMOST STATISTICALLY IT LOOKS LIKE 46% ARE ONLY HAPPENING
12:24:02 IN THE TARGETED AREA.
12:24:03 WE THINK THAT MORE IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING ACCORDING TO THE
12:24:06 VISION THAN WHAT ACTUALLY SHOWED UP IN THE NUMBERS.
12:24:09 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:24:10 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ANOTHER QUICK QUESTION?
12:24:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I AM GOING TO DECLARE A RECESS AFTER
12:24:19 THE PRESENTATION FOR A 30-MINUTE BREAK.
12:24:22 AND THEN WHEN WE COME BACK FROM THAT BREAK, YOU CAN HAVE ALL
12:24:26 THE QUESTIONS YOU WANT.
12:24:27 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION BUT
12:24:29 MOVING FORWARD.
12:24:31 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THERE ARE SO MANY SLIDE.
12:24:33 AND, ANYWAY, MR. GOERS, GO BACK ONE SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:24:40 OKAY.
12:24:41 BETWEEN THIS SLIDE AND THE NEXT SLIDE, YOU HAVE A CIRCLE.
12:24:46 AND BY WHAT YOU HAVE TOLD US, YOU SEEM TO INDICATE THAT
12:24:53 WITHIN THAT CIRCLE IS AREAS THAT GROWTH IS HAPPENING BUT
12:24:59 THAT CERTAINLY ENCOMPASSES EVERY SINGLE PART OF THE CITY
12:25:03 EXCEPT FOR SOUTH OF EUCLID, AND NEW TAMPA.
12:25:10 SO I THINK THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO MIGHT
12:25:14 BE CONCERNED THAT AS PLANNERS, WE ARE OKAY WITH INCREASES,
12:25:23 WITH PLAN AMENDMENTS AND REZONINGS, ALL ACROSS THE CORE OF
12:25:28 THE CITY.
12:25:31 IS THAT WHAT THE CIRCLE MEANS?
12:25:32 >>RANDY GOERS: NO.
12:25:34 AND I DIDN'T -- IT WAS AN AREA WHERE EVERYBODY WAS GOING TO
12:25:40 BE HAPPY WITH.
12:25:40 THE REST OF MY PRESENTATION, WE ACTUALLY TOUCH ON THAT.
12:25:43 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALL RIGHT.
12:25:44 WELL, TELL ME WHAT THE CIRCLE MEANS.
12:25:46 >>RANDY GOERS: THE CIRCLE IS THE THREE PLANNING DISTRICTS
12:25:49 WHICH WE HAVE IDENTIFIED AS THE AREA THAT WE ARE TRYING TO
12:25:51 ENCOURAGE GREATER PROPORTION OF DEVELOPMENT THAN IN THE
12:25:55 OTHER AREAS.
12:25:56 THE 169,000 PEOPLE AND THE 169,000 EMPLOYEES ARE GOING TO GO
12:26:02 SOMEWHERE.
12:26:03 AND WHAT WE ARE SAYING AND WHAT THE PLAN IS SAYING IS THAT
12:26:06 THIS IS THE AREA, THESE AREAS WHERE WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE THE
12:26:10 PRIOR PROPORTION OF THAT DEVELOPMENT.
12:26:11 I THINK WHAT WE ARE HEARING FROM MOST OF THE COMMUNITY IS
12:26:15 THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE A HIGHER PROPORTION OF
12:26:17 DEVELOPMENT HAPPENING IN THE CORRIDORS OF WESTSHORE,
12:26:20 DOWNTOWN, AND USF.
12:26:21 BUT THE REST OF MY PRESENTATION WILL DEAL WITH THOSE
12:26:25 SPECIFIC ITEMS.
12:26:26 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MY POINT IS, YOUR CIRCLE IS ALL
12:26:29 ENCOMPASSING.
12:26:30 IF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE HAD VERY NARROW BANDS, CORRIDORS, AS
12:26:36 OPPOSED TO AN ENTIRE CIRCLE, THAT REPRESENTS AT LEAST 50% OF
12:26:40 THE LAND MASS OF THE CITY, UM, I THINK WE WOULD BE HAPPIER.
12:26:46 >>RANDY GOERS: AND THE REST OF MY PRESENTATION WILL
12:26:50 ACTUALLY TOUCH UPON THAT.
12:26:51 AND I THINK YOU WILL BE OKAY WITH THAT.
12:26:57 OKAY.
12:26:58 MOVING FORWARD TO -- WE DID NONRESIDENTIAL PERMITS? OKAY.
12:27:07 SO WE DID THE SAME THING WITH NONRESIDENTIAL PERMITS,
12:27:09 LOOKING AT THE PATTERN, NONRESIDENTIAL PERMITS, AND 78% OF
12:27:14 THE NONRESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION IS HAPPENING IN MOST OF THE
12:27:21 DISTRICTS.
12:27:22 WHEN WE GET TO RESIDENTIAL PERMIT, THE PATTERN SEEMS TO
12:27:24 DIVERGE A LITTLE BIT.
12:27:26 WE HAVE 51% THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE THREE DISTRICTS.
12:27:31 IT SHOWS THE RESIDENTIAL PERMITS BY NEIGHBORHOOD.
12:27:34 AND THE PART THAT IS REALLY -- THAT SORT OF STANDS OUT IN
12:27:38 THE OPERATION IS HAPPENING IN SOUTH OF GANDY WHERE MUCH MORE
12:27:43 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS TAKING PLACE THAN WHAT I THINK
12:27:47 MOST PEOPLE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT FROM THE DISCUSSION ON HOW
12:27:50 THE PLAN IS TRYING TO GUIDE DEVELOPMENT.
12:27:55 SO THERE IS AN AREA SOUTH OF GANDY WHICH I THINK WE NEED TO
12:27:59 TAKE A LOOK AT IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT,
12:28:03 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS OCCURRED IN THAT AREA.
12:28:07 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:28:09 NOW, THERE IS ONE PART THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS MOVING
12:28:15 FORWARD.
12:28:17 SO THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING SOUTH OF
12:28:19 GANDY BUT IT DOES EXPLAIN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE
12:28:21 HAPPENING, THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN SOUTH OF GANDY.
12:28:25 IN 2007, THE GANDY AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY, AND IN THAT
12:28:29 STUDY IT FOUND AT THAT TIME, 2007, THERE WERE ALREADY 317
12:28:34 ACRES THAT WERE CURRENTLY OR TENTATIVELY APPROVED FOR
12:28:38 DEVELOPMENT, IN-FILL OR REDEVELOPMENT IN THE STUDY AREA AND
12:28:43 IT WAS ANTICIPATED THOSE PROJECTS WOULD INCLUDE
12:28:46 APPROXIMATELY 4900 MULTIFAMILY UNITS, 500 SINGLE FAMILY
12:28:50 UNITS AND 260,000 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL SPACE.
12:28:53 THIS IS AGAIN BACK AT 2007.
12:28:56 THE AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS ALREADY APPROVED OR
12:28:59 TENTATIVELY APPROVED IS GOING THROUGH A PROCESS.
12:29:02 IF YOU REMEMBER, 2008, 2009, THE GREAT RECESSION STARTED TO
12:29:06 HIT.
12:29:07 THERE WERE TWO OR THREE BIG DRIs IN THAT AREA THAT WENT ON
12:29:11 HOLD, SO A LOT OF THOSE DEVELOPMENTS THAT WERE ALREADY
12:29:16 APPROVED OR PLANNED WERE IN A HOLDING PATTERN AROUND 2016.
12:29:24 THINGS STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD.
12:29:25 SOME OF THAT DEVELOPMENT STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD.
12:29:27 OTHERS ARE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT HAVE BEEN CREATED,
12:29:32 REBUILDING -- OR PLAN AMENDMENT.
12:29:34 BUT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS OCCURRED
12:29:36 THERE, DEVELOPMENTS THAT WERE PLANNED AS FAR BACK AS 2007,
12:29:41 AND THOSE STUDIES UNDER 2 MAJOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS
12:29:45 DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THAT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
12:29:47 ONE OF THEM WAS THE SELMON CONNECTOR WHICH WAS UNDER
12:29:52 CONSTRUCTION AND WILL BE FINISHED -- FINISHED SOMETIME NEXT
12:29:57 YEAR THAT MIGHT BE FINISHED.
12:29:58 BUT RIGHT NOW THAT AREA IS EXPERIENCING CONGESTION BECAUSE
12:30:00 OF TWO DIFFERENT FACTORS, OR TWO DIFFERENT BUT RELATED.
12:30:06 FIRST IS THE TRAFFIC THAT IS STILL COMING ACROSS GANDY AT
12:30:11 GRADE AND CREATING THE CONGESTION BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST
12:30:14 DRIVING THROUGH THE AREA.
12:30:15 THE OTHER IS THE CONSTRUCTION ITSELF WHICH IS CREATING
12:30:17 ADDITIONAL CONGESTION IN THE AREA AS SOME NAVIGATE THE
12:30:26 MOTs THAT ARE HAPPENING.
12:30:28 ONCE THAT FACILITY OPENS, THERE WILL BE A MARKED IMPROVEMENT
12:30:32 IN TERMS OF THE TRAFFIC ON GANDY AND THE GANDY WESTSHORE
12:30:36 INTERSECTION.
12:30:37 AS ALL OF THE TRAFFIC THAT IS COMING ACROSS THE GANDY
12:30:43 HIGHWAY WILL BYPASS THE WHOLE DISTRICT ALTOGETHER.
12:30:49 THE OTHER PLAN IMPROVEMENT IS AN IMPROVEMENT I THINK WILL
12:30:52 START CONSTRUCTION PROBABLY AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, AND
12:30:54 THAT'S THE TYSON STREET CONNECTOR WHICH IS GOING TO CONNECT
12:30:58 TYSON STREET FROM WESTSHORE TO MANHATTAN, AND PROVIDE
12:31:03 ANOTHER EAST-WEST ROUTE FOR PEOPLE COMING NORTH ON
12:31:07 WESTSHORE.
12:31:08 IT WILL HELP TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THAT CONGESTION.
12:31:12 AGAIN, THESE ARE TWO TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE
12:31:15 PLANNED IN RESPONSE TO THE GROWTH THAT WAS HAPPENING SEVERAL
12:31:18 YEARS AGO, BUT IT'S FOR VARIOUS REASONS FUNDING PRIMARILY
12:31:23 HAS TAKEN TIME FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS TO FINALLY BE
12:31:26 CONSTRUCTED AND IS HAPPENING NOW.
12:31:29 THEN OF COURSE DEAL WITH THE QUESTIONS OF FLOODING AND
12:31:34 STORMWATER, THE CITY HAS THE PIPES PROJECT, AND THEN THE
12:31:38 STORMWATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WHICH WILL HELP SERVICE
12:31:44 THROUGHOUT THE CITY, BUT DEFINITELY WILL HELP THE CONCERNS
12:31:47 OF SERVICE HERE IN THE SOUTH OF GANDY AREA.
12:31:51 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
12:31:54 OKAY, SO LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IS THE FOURTH, GIVEN SORT OF
12:32:12 A REFRESH, OR A BRIEFING ON THE CODE AMENDMENT.
12:32:17 THE CODE AMENDMENTS ARE TYPICALLY DONE TWICE A YEAR.
12:32:20 I THINK THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE
12:32:26 YEAR OR WHENEVER THEY ARE IN PROCESS.
12:32:28 BUT IN SUMMARY THEN, TWICE A YEAR ALLOWS A LOT OF THE
12:32:33 ECONOMIES OF SCALE IN TERMS OF PUBLISHING, GETTING EVERYBODY
12:32:37 ON THE SAME PAGE IN TERMS OF WHAT'S IN THE CODE.
12:32:39 AND IT ALSO GETS BACK TO THAT PREDICTABILITY TO PEOPLE WHO
12:32:43 WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE CHANGES ARE, AND NOW THEY KNOW THAT
12:32:46 TWICE A YEAR ALL THE CHANGES ARE GOING TO BE SUMMARIZED,
12:32:50 THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SEE AND FEEL THEM, THEY DON'T HAVE TO
12:32:53 KEEP LAG OR ATTENDING MEETINGS NONSTOP, THEY CAN PLAN AROUND
12:32:58 THE CODE AMENDMENTS.
12:32:59 NEXT SLIDE.
12:33:01 SO HERE ARE SOME OF THE CONCLUSIONS THAT WE ARE FINDING WHEN
12:33:05 WE LOOK AT OUR GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
12:33:07 AGAIN, GENERALLY, GROWTH IS BEING DIRECTED INTO THE AREAS
12:33:11 TARGETED FOR GROWTH IN THE COMP PLAN.
12:33:14 SOME COMMUNITIES ARE EXPERIENCING IN-FILL AND REDEVELOPMENT.
12:33:16 WE SEE TYPE THAT WE FEEL IS NOT CONSISTENT FOR WHAT THEY
12:33:24 WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE.
12:33:25 RESIDENTS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TYPE OF
12:33:29 DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING IN THEIR COMMUNITY.
12:33:30 TO GET BACK TO THE COMMENT THAT YOU RAISED EARLIER,
12:33:33 COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, THERE ARE SOME PAST DEVELOPMENT
12:33:35 DECISIONS THAT ADD TO THE CHALLENGE OF MANAGING GROWTH,
12:33:38 BECAUSE WE DO HAVE TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.
12:33:42 AND THERE ARE PLAN AMENDMENTS ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NEEDS.
12:33:45 AND THAT'S HOW WE CAN ADDRESS SOME OF THESE AND FINE TUNE
12:33:48 SOME OF THESE COMMUNITIES THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY PLANNED
12:33:54 DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT.
12:33:55 NEXT SLIDE.
12:33:55 >>CAROLE POST: CHAIR, THIS IS CAROLE POST.
12:34:01 I RECOGNIZE THE TIME FRAME THAT WE HIT.
12:34:03 OBVIOUSLY WE ARE TRYING TO COVER A LOT OF MATERIAL HERE.
12:34:06 IF IT IS THE PLEASURE OF THE CHAIR AND COUNCIL, WE ARE HAPPY
12:34:09 TO TAKE A BREAK AS AT THIS TRANSITION POINT.
12:34:12 I WILL DEFER TO YOU.
12:34:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
12:34:14 LET'S DO THAT.
12:34:14 I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH EVERYTHING AND THEN KEEP IT
12:34:18 CHOPPY AND THEN WE COME BACK FOR QUESTIONS, AND WE DON'T
12:34:21 STAY FOCUSED.
12:34:22 IF WE CAN TAKE A 30 MINUTE LUNCH BREAK.
12:34:25 IT'S 12:34.
12:34:28 WE CAN COME BACK AT 1:05.
12:34:34 MUTE YOURSELF.
12:34:35 DO NOT SIGN OUT OF THE MEETING.
12:34:37 AND THEN WE WILL TAKE ROLE AND RECONVENE FROM THIS BREAK AT
12:34:41 1:05 P.M.
12:34:43 WE ARE NOW IN RECESS UNTIL 1:05 P.M. AND THEN WE'LL TAKE
12:34:50 ROLL THEN.
12:34:51 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
12:34:51 WE'LL CONTINUE ON WITH THE PRESENTATION.
12:34:54 SO WE ARE ON BREAK UNTIL 1:05.
12:34:58 (CITY COUNCIL RECESS)
12:35:02
12:36:51 (CITY COUNCIL MEETING RESUMES)
12:59:35 >>ORLANDO GUDES: HERE.
01:05:50 >>BILL CARLSON: HERE.
01:05:52 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HERE.
01:05:55 >>JOSEPH CITRO: HERE.
01:05:57 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: HERE.
01:06:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HERE.
01:06:05 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
01:06:06 MR. GOERS, I BELIEVE YOU WERE PRESENTING.
01:06:08 IF YOU ARE ON, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE AND MOVE ON
01:06:10 FROM THERE.
01:06:11 >>CAROLE POST: THIS IS CAROLE POST, ADMINISTRATIVE FOR
01:06:15 DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
01:06:21 I JUST WANTED TO REFRESH WHERE WE WERE AT THIS SLIDE, THAT
01:06:27 IS THE BEGINNING OF CHAPTER 3 OF THE PRESENTATION.
01:06:32 WE HAVE NOW COVERED ALL THE BACKGROUND.
01:06:34 WE HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT, WE COVERED WHERE OUR TOOLS ARE
01:06:38 AND HOW THEY IMPACTED US, HOW PRIOR DECISIONS HAVE IMPACTED
01:06:41 US.
01:06:41 PART 3 IS GOING TO START TO LOOK AHEAD AT OUR CURRENTS
01:06:44 STATE, AT SOME OF THE PRESSING MATTERS THAT WE ARE HEARING
01:06:47 FROM OUR PUBLIC, FROM OUR COMMUNITY, AND SOME OF THE
01:06:49 PLANNING EFFORTS THAT ACTUALLY ARE ALREADY UNDERWAY TO
01:06:53 ADDRESS THEM.
01:06:54 AND JUST FOR LOGISTICS, WHEN RANDY CONCLUDES, WE ARE GOING
01:06:58 TO TURN BRIEFLY TO MS. FEELEY AND SHE WILL BE ABLE TO
01:07:03 ADDRESS VERY BRIEFLY THE TWO ADDITIONAL MOTION ITEMS FOR
01:07:07 ITEM NUMBER 4 -- I'M SORRY, ITEM NUMBER 6 AROUND INTENSITY
01:07:13 AND THEN NUMBER 4 FOR THE LOT SIZE THE MODIFICATION ITEM.
01:07:17 AT THAT POINT WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONCLUDE AND OPEN BACK TO
01:07:20 YOU, CHAIR AND COUNCIL, FOR DISCUSSION OF ALL OF THESE
01:07:24 MOTIONS AND ITEMS.
01:07:25 THANK YOU.
01:07:25 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
01:07:27 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I HAVE A QUESTION RELATED TO THAT.
01:07:34 MR. CHAIRMAN?
01:07:34 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, GO AHEAD.
01:07:37 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MS. POST, JUST FOR FUNDAMENTAL -- I
01:07:45 LOOKED AT ALL THE SLIDES ACTUAL MIDNIGHT LAST NIGHT.
01:07:49 I THINK SOME OF THEM ARE REALLY GOOD.
01:07:50 BUT I THINK ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL CORE ISSUES THAT I WAS
01:07:55 ASKING MR. GOERS ABOUT EARLIER WAS, IF WE THINK WE ARE DOING
01:07:59 A GOOD JOB AND WE ARE DIRECTING THE GROWTH WHERE IT SHOULD
01:08:03 BE GOING, THE PERCENTAGES OF 45% AND THAT SORT OF THING, IF
01:08:13 THAT'S WHAT THE CITY PLANNERS THINK, BUT THE COMMUNITY AND
01:08:17 FRANKLY THIS COUNCILMAN DOESN'T NECESSARILY AGREE, YOU KNOW,
01:08:22 I THINK WE HAVE TO HONE IN A MUCH TIGHTER FASHION ALONG THE
01:08:29 TRANSIT CORRIDOR AS OPPOSED TO HAVING BIG GIANT CIRCLES AND
01:08:34 PATTING OURSELVES ON THE BACK.
01:08:36 SO THAT CONCERNS ME GREATLY BECAUSE IF THE ZONING THINKS WE
01:08:43 ARE DOING A GOOD JOB THEN WE HAVE GOT NOWHERE TO GO BUT
01:08:47 DOWN.
01:08:48 THAT'S MY FIRST COMMENT.
01:08:49 MY SECOND COMMENT, AND THEN I WILL SHUT UP, AND THIS IS NOT
01:08:53 A CRITICISM TO ANYBODY HERE, BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH
01:08:57 TRANSPORTATION FUNDING, THAT IF WE AREN'T GOING TO FUND
01:09:00 TRANSPORTATION TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THESE 100,000 PEOPLE THAT
01:09:05 ARE HEADED HERE TO TAMPA WON'T DO ANY GOOD AT ALL.
01:09:12 I'LL REPEAT THAT.
01:09:13 IF WE AREN'T GOING TO FUND THE TRANSPORTATION TO ACCOMMODATE
01:09:15 THE FUTURE GROWTH, THEN WE NEED TO STOP THE FUTURE GROWTH
01:09:18 AND NOT ALLOW ANY MORE DEVELOPMENT.
01:09:20 AND I SAY THAT -- AND I KNOW , AND IF WE DON'T GET IT
01:09:33 DIAGNOSE ON OUR FUNDING, FOR TRANSPORTATION, THEN WE HAVE NO
01:09:37 BUSINESS WHATSOEVER OF ANY -- THAT'S JUST MY THOUGHTS.
01:09:45 SO ANYWAY, THE FIRST QUESTION.
01:09:47 >>CAROLE POST: I WILL LET RANDY CONTINUE THE PRESENTATION
01:09:51 BUT I WANT TO COMMENT, AND WE AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY
01:09:53 ABOUT FUNDING FOR TRANSPORTATION.
01:09:55 BUT WITH RESPECT TO THIS APPROACH THAT WAS TAKEN AND THE
01:09:59 DATA REQUESTED, WE ARE CERTAINLY NOT PATTING OURSELVES ON
01:10:01 THE BACK.
01:10:02 I THINK WE ARE JUST TRYING TO REFLECT THE REALITY OF WHAT
01:10:05 THE DATA HAS PRESENTED TO US TO THIS POINT.
01:10:07 AND I WOULD NOT GET TOO CAUGHT UP IN ONE SLIDE OF THIS VERY
01:10:14 COMPREHENSIVE PRESENTATION, THE CIRCLE IS REALLY MEANT, AS
01:10:18 RANDY HAS SAID NOW, AS REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT THE
01:10:22 PERCENTAGES HAVE SHOWN US OVER THE LAST DECADE.
01:10:24 WE HAVE MANY CHALLENGES AHEAD OF US, AND THE REASON WE PUT
01:10:27 ALL OF THIS TOGETHER AND INVESTED SO MUCH TIME IS THAT WE
01:10:30 BELIEVE AS YOU HAVE STATED THAT THERE ARE DIFFICULTY
01:10:34 DECISIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE AHEAD OF US, AND WE ARE
01:10:38 READY, WILLING AND ABLE TO MAKE THEM BUT WE DON'T WANT TO
01:10:41 HAVE TO MAKE THEM WITHOUT DATA TO SUPPORT IT.
01:10:43 SO I WILL TURN BACK TO RANDY AND LET HIM CONTINUE, AND
01:10:46 HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO SATISFY YOUR CONCERNS AND YOUR
01:10:50 INQUIRIES FURTHER THROUGH THE COMPLETION OF THE
01:10:52 PRESENTATION.
01:10:53 THANK YOU.
01:10:53 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I HAVE TO SAY, I AM NOT RELAYING ON THIS
01:10:59 SLIDE.
01:11:00 I AM RELYING OWN -- [ INAUDIBLE ]
01:11:12 TO CONTINUALLY APPROVE GROWTH EVERYWHERE.
01:11:16 AND THAT'S THE [~AUDIO DISTORTION~]
01:11:35 SO THIS IS NOT ONE MAP.
01:11:37 ONE MAP IS GOING TO BE REPRESENTATIVE OF --
01:11:44 OKAY.
01:11:44 THANK YOU.
01:11:44 >>RANDY GOERS: THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
01:11:51 RANDY GOERS, PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
01:11:53 WE ARE BACK AT THE PART 3 SLIDE WHERE WE ARE NOW.
01:11:56 LET'S MOVE ONTO THE NEXT SLIDE.
01:11:58 AND WE TALK ABOUT THE OVERALL GROWTH AND HOW IT COMPARES
01:12:02 WITH THE STRATEGY WITHIN THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
01:12:06 BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE GROWTH IS OCCURRING, THERE ARE
01:12:09 SOME DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES, AND REALLY ARE STARTING TO
01:12:12 EMERGE IN AS MANY NEIGHBORHOODS AND CITIZENS ARE VOICING
01:12:17 THEIR CONCERNS WITH SOME OF THE CHALLENGES. AN EXAMPLE IS
01:12:21 WHAT WE WERE INVOLVED WITH ON DAVIS ISLAND AND WESTSHORE
01:12:25 PALMS. TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY, OVER A YEAR AGO, THERE WAS A
01:12:29 MOTION MADE TO PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AT THE
01:12:33 TIME TO COME BEFORE COUNCIL AND PROVIDE A REPORT ON
01:12:37 DELIVERING A FORM-BASED CODE TO THE DAVIS ISLAND
01:12:42 NEIGHBORHOOD.
01:12:45 THOM SNELLING WHO WAS THE DIRECTOR AT THAT TIME AND
01:12:48 CATHERINE COYLE THE MANAGER OF THE DIVISION AT THAT TIME
01:12:51 CAME TO COUNCIL AND PRESENTED, BASICALLY SUMMARIZED THAT
01:12:56 THERE WASN'T ENOUGH STAFF AT THE TIME TO DO A FORM-BASED
01:12:58 CODE, THAT WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS TO COMPLETE,
01:13:02 AND IF WE WENT OUT TO A CONSULTANT, IT WOULD COST
01:13:06 APPROXIMATELY $100,000.
01:13:08 COUNCIL AT THAT TIME PASSED A MOTION REQUESTING STAFF TO
01:13:13 MEET WITH A COUPLE OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS WITH EACH OF THE
01:13:17 NEIGHBORHOODS AND TRY TO DETERMINE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT
01:13:19 COULD BE DONE OUTSIDE OF A FORM-BASED CODE TO ADDRESS THEIR
01:13:23 CONCERNS.
01:13:24 I MET WITH DAVIS ISLAND SEVERAL TIMES, THE WESTSHORE PALMS.
01:13:30 UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF THE COVID WE WEREN'T ABLE TO HAVE
01:13:32 COMMUNITY MEETINGS.
01:13:34 THE CONVERSATIONS WERE REALLY DIRECTED TO A FEW
01:13:37 REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND
01:13:40 THEN ALSO OF WESTSHORE PALMS.
01:13:44 GENERALLY, WHEN WE STARTED SPEAKING WITH TO DAVIS ISLAND,
01:13:48 CONCERNS KIND OF BOILED DOWN TO THREE MAIN AREAS.
01:13:51 ONE OF THEM WAS THEY WANTED NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS TO BE
01:13:54 ABLE TO HAVE A GREATER STANDING AND FILING APPEALS FOR
01:13:59 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DECISIONS.
01:14:01 THAT WOULD BE VARIANCES, DESIGN EXCEPTIONS, REZONINGS, OTHER
01:14:07 ACTIONS.
01:14:08 TO DEAL WITH THE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION.
01:14:12 TODAY, A PROPERTY OWNER WITHIN 250 FEET HAS THAT ABILITY TO
01:14:15 DO THAT, WITHIN 250 FEET OF WHERE THAT DEVELOPMENT DECISION
01:14:21 IS BEING MADE.
01:14:22 THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WANTED TO HAVE THE SAME ABILITY
01:14:26 TO DO THAT.
01:14:30 AND THE DAVIS ISLAND NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WOULD BE
01:14:32 BASICALLY ALL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS TO MOVE FORWARD.
01:14:40 LEGAL PROVIDED IMPLICATIONS, PROVIDED A MEMO, I BELIEVE,
01:14:44 THAT JUST THE LOGISTICAL PART ALLOWING A NEIGHBORHOOD
01:14:50 ASSOCIATION TO HAVE STANDING, WHO THE NEIGHBORHOOD
01:14:54 ASSOCIATION IS REALLY REPRESENTING, DO THEY HAVE TO BE PART
01:14:56 OF THE SUNSHINE, WHAT HAPPENS IF THE PROPERTY OWNER WINS THE
01:15:01 APPEAL, CAN HE SUE AND WHO WOULD HE SUE AND WHAT KIND OF
01:15:05 DAMAGES AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
01:15:07 SO WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION NOT TO ALLOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD
01:15:13 ASSOCIATION TO HAVE THAT KIND OF STANDING.
01:15:16 AND IT CAN BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER MORE QUESTIONS ON THAT.
01:15:20 THE OTHER SUGGESTIONS WERE MORE DESIGN RELATED, SUGGESTED
01:15:26 SEVERAL SPECIFIC DESIGN QUESTIONS OR THINGS THAT THEY WANTED
01:15:31 TO SEE IN THEIR CODE -- NOT IN THE CODE BUT IN DAVIS ISLAND,
01:15:34 AND THEN THEY ALSO MADE SUGGESTIONS IN TERMS OF HOW THE CITY
01:15:38 COULD RESPOND IN RESPONSE TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATION.
01:15:42 BASICALLY, IT GETS DOWN TO BEING ABLE TO RESPOND TO THEM,
01:15:48 AND WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT SUGGESTIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS
01:15:52 THEY BROUGHT FORWARD.
01:15:54 AND WESTSHORE PALMS, THEIR CONCERN REALLY WAS ABOUT THE FACT
01:16:00 THAT MANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES ARE BEING REZONED TO RM-18 TO
01:16:05 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT, AND WHEN TOWNHOUSES
01:16:08 ARE BUILT, THE DRIVEWAYS END UP BECOMING VERY CLOSE TO EACH
01:16:12 OTHER.
01:16:12 SO IT CREATES A LITTLE BIT OF A VISUAL -- IT'S A DIFFERENT
01:16:19 VISUAL RHYTHM THAN WHEN YOU HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY LOTS AND THE
01:16:22 DRIVEWAYS ARE SEPARATED.
01:16:26 THOSE WERE PRIMARILY THE BIGGEST CONCERNS EXPRESSED,
01:16:29 ALTHOUGH A LARGER PLAN TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE AND OTHERS.
01:16:34 THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO LOOK AT.
01:16:37 ARMORY GARDENS, IS NOT PART OF THE MOTION, BUT THEY
01:16:40 CONTACTED US, SENT E-MAILS TO THE CHAIR THAT WERE FORWARDED
01:16:47 TO US AND THEN SOME CORRESPONDENCE.
01:16:50 THEIR SITUATION IS DIFFERENT, AND THAT IS THAT DEVELOPMENT
01:16:52 IS OCCURRING, THEY HAVE NARROW STREETS THAT'S CAUSING SOME
01:16:55 CONGESTION, GARAGES ARE A LITTLE BIT TOO CLOSE TO THE FRONT
01:17:00 PART OF THE PROPERTY WHERE CARS ARE EXTENDING OUT INTO THE
01:17:04 SIDEWALK, SO THEY HAD SOME SUGGESTIONS ON MOVING THE GARAGE
01:17:11 FURTHER BACK INTO THE SITE.
01:17:20 NEXT SLIDE.
01:17:21 THE FINDING IS IN MANY NEIGHBORHOODS, A BIG EXAMPLE FOR
01:17:24 DAVIS ISLAND, IS THAT THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT THE URBAN
01:17:28 IMPLICATIONS OF DEVELOPMENT.
01:17:29 THIS IS DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD EVEN OCCUR WITHOUT A PLAN
01:17:35 AMENDMENT OR EVEN A REZONING, GOING TO PERMITTING.
01:17:38 IT ALREADY HAS THEIR APPROVAL.
01:17:41 AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE FOR DAVIS ISLAND ON THE LEFT, AND AN
01:17:46 EXAMPLE ON THE RIGHT, BOTH OF THESE HAVE GONE THROUGH OUR
01:17:49 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS, THEY MEET THE CODE, BUT
01:17:53 ESPECIALLY ONE MORE PREFERABLE THAN THE OTHER.
01:17:56 RESIDENTS OF DAVIS ISLAND, THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT IS MORE
01:18:06 PREFERABLE THAN THE IMAGE ON THE RIGHT.
01:18:09 THEY BOTH MEET OUR CODE.
01:18:10 NEXT SLIDE.
01:18:13 THERE IS A WAY TO GUIDE THIS KIND OF DEVELOPMENT, AND THIS
01:18:16 GETS BACK TO THE WHOLE INTENT OF THE FORM-BASED CODE.
01:18:19 IT KIND OF BRINGS US BACK FULL CIRCLE.
01:18:21 THESE ARE IMAGES FROM THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS FORM-BASED CODE.
01:18:24 AND THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, 8 HOUSES THERE ACTUALLY PRESCRIBE
01:18:28 AS PART OF THE CODE.
01:18:30 AND THE DEVELOPER BUILDS IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, THEY CAN
01:18:32 CHOOSE ANY ONE OF THESE EIGHT HOUSING STYLES TO SORT OF
01:18:37 BLEND INTO THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
01:18:39 THE CODE IS VERY SPECIFIC.
01:18:42 IT HAS A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS ON THE LOT, AND
01:18:45 WHERE THE BUILDING CAN GO AND SO FORTH OF THE
01:18:48 AND THERE ARE VERY FEW OPPORTUNITIES TO CREATE AN EXCEPTION
01:18:55 IN THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS FORM-BASED CODE.
01:18:58 THE REASON IT CAN BE DONE THAT WAY, IS BECAUSE IT TOOK AGAIN
01:19:03 18 MONTHS OF TIME TO CREDIT THE CODE WHERE ALL THE
01:19:06 DEVELOPMENT DECISIONS AND QUESTIONS ARE USUALLY THOUGHT OUT
01:19:08 IN ADVANCE SO THAT THEY CAN WRITE A CODE WHICH IS SPECIFIC
01:19:14 FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
01:19:15 WE LOOKED AT DAVIS ISLAND.
01:19:17 MANY OF THE SPECIFICS THEY WERE LOOKING AT, IT WAS WRITTEN
01:19:20 JUST FOR THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, DAVIS ISLAND, WITH
01:19:25 THE VERY CLOSE TO DOING A FORM-BASED CODE EVEN THOUGH SOME
01:19:30 OF THOSE SUGGESTIONS ARE -- MANY OF THEIR SUGGESTIONS ARE
01:19:33 DESIGN RELATED.
01:19:35 BUT THE MINUTE YOU START AN OVERLAY OF AN AFFECTED AREA YOU
01:19:39 ARE DEDICATING A LOT OF TIME INTO ONE AREA.
01:19:42 AND THE QUESTION IS, IT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY
01:19:45 SCALABLE OVER THE LONG RUN.
01:19:47 IN THE 13 YEARS I BELIEVE THAT WE DID THE PILOT PROJECT FOR
01:19:51 SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, DOWNTOWN, AS A
01:19:56 FORM-BASED CODE, AND THEN THE WEST RIVER AREA HAS A
01:19:59 FORM-BASED CODE.
01:20:01 AND 40th STREET ONLY HAS PART OF IT.
01:20:04 WE HAVEN'T FINISHED THE ONE ON 40th STREET.
01:20:07 SO IN 13 YEARS OF BEING ABLE TO DO MAYBE THREE AND A HALF
01:20:10 AREAS.
01:20:10 SO THE QUESTION IS, USING THAT TOOL, CITY-WIDE BASIS, OR
01:20:16 OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS, WE DON'T THINK IT'S REALLY SCALABLE.
01:20:18 ABBYE FEELEY, A FEW WEEKS AGO, AS YOU KNOW, AND WITH THEIR
01:20:22 EXPERIENCE, SHE FEELS THAT THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES MAYBE TO
01:20:26 LOOK AT SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS OF THE CITY-WIDE BASIS OR
01:20:30 TRYING TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE DESIGN ISSUES, AND WILL
01:20:35 ADDRESS MULTIPLE NEIGHBORHOODS, SO IT ISN'T JUST DAVIS
01:20:38 ISLAND, AND WESTSHORE PALMS, AND ARMORY GARDENS, BUT BECOMES
01:20:44 PROBLEMS FROM A DESIGN AND ADDRESS THOSE FROM A COMMON
01:20:48 APPROACH.
01:20:51 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:20:52 OPPORTUNITIES, THESE ARE THINGS WE HAVE GOT IN THE WORKS
01:20:59 THAT ARE PLANNED, AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE, SOME OF THEM
01:21:05 INITIATED IN RESPONSE TO CITIZEN CONCERNS AND WE WILL BE
01:21:11 ABLE TO SHOW HOW WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE.
01:21:14 OTHERS, THERE ARE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS
01:21:17 THAT WE HEARD.
01:21:18 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:21:19 A NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, WHICH WAS A RESPONSE TO
01:21:23 A MOTION THAT WAS MADE A YEAR AGO TO CREATE THIS PROCESS,
01:21:28 LOOKED AT NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS, WE HAVE TWO
01:21:30 PILOT PROJECTS UNDERWAY NOW, THE MAIN STREET AND THE PALMA
01:21:33 CEIA COMMERCIAL DISTRICT EFFORT.
01:21:36 THESE PLANS WILL DEVELOP A PROCESS THAT WE CAN START LOOKING
01:21:42 AT AREAS OF THE CITY AND ASSESS SOME OF THE IMPLICATIONS FOR
01:21:47 LAND USE, TRANSPORTATION, HOUSING, PARKS, ALL THOSE THINGS,
01:21:52 AND PROVIDE THE PLANS AND THE ROAD MAP FOR SOME OF THESE
01:21:55 AREAS OF THE CITY.
01:21:57 THESE PROJECTS HAVE ALREADY STARTED IN SEPTEMBER AND WE HOPE
01:22:01 TO HAVE THEM CONCLUDED IN MAY OF NEXT YEAR.
01:22:06 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THE HART DOT STUDY IS A PARTNERSHIP
01:22:13 WITH CITY OF TAMPA, HART, THE MPO, PLANNING COMMISSION, TO
01:22:18 LOOK AT THE LAND USE IMPLICATIONS AROUND THE PRT STATION.
01:22:25 THE CONSULTANT WILL BE LOOKING AT THE CURRENTLY LAND USE
01:22:30 PATTERN, WITH THE BUS TRAVEL, FUTURE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL,
01:22:36 AND RECOGNIZE VERY SPECIFIC LAND USE CHANGES AROUND THE BRT
01:22:44 STATION.
01:22:45 WHAT THAT GIVES US IS A MODEL THAT WE APPLY TO OTHER AREAS
01:22:48 OF THE CITY, BUT WE WILL BE ABLE TO LEARN ABOUT LAND USE,
01:22:53 TRANSPORTATION, THAT WE CAN APPLY SOME OF THOSE LESSONS
01:22:56 LEARNED.
01:22:59 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:23:06 EARLIER WE RECEIVED A GRANTS TO ASSESS IS THE IMPLICATIONS
01:23:09 OF OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION AS A RESULT OF POTENTIAL
01:23:14 SEA LEVEL RISE.
01:23:16 THIS GRANT BASICALLY WILL LOOK AT SEA LEVEL RISE SCENARIOS
01:23:20 OVER THE NEXT SIXTY YEARS UP UNTIL 2060 AND I THINK BEYOND,
01:23:26 AND TRY TO ASSESS WHAT AREAS OF THE CITY ARE AFFECTED BY SEA
01:23:30 LEVEL RISE, AND HOW CURRENT REGULATIONS WILL MITIGATE THE
01:23:35 IMPACT OF SEA LEVEL RISE.
01:23:37 THE IDEA BEING PARTS OF THE CITY, AND WHAT PARTS OF OUR CODE
01:23:43 WILL PROBABLY FAIL AND WHEN WILL THEY FAIL, AND WHAT SORT OF
01:23:46 RECOMMENDATIONS DO WE NEED TO MAKE TO STRENGTHEN THE CODE
01:23:49 FOR LONG-TERM RESILIENCY.
01:23:51 THIS PROCESS, THIS PROGRAM ALSO LOOKS AT EXISTING
01:23:54 DEVELOPMENT SUCH THAT PREPARING FOR SEA LEVEL RISE IS ALL
01:23:58 ABOUT WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO PROTECT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
01:24:02 BUT THE DEVELOPMENT THAT EXISTS TODAY, HOMEOWNERS MAY NOT
01:24:06 KNOW WHAT THEIR OPTIONS ARE.
01:24:08 BUT PART OF THIS PROGRAM IS GOING TO IDENTIFY BEST PRACTICES
01:24:11 FROM OTHER AREAS OF THE COUNTRY TO SUPPORT EXISTING
01:24:16 HOMEOWNERS THAT MIGHT BE AFFECTED BY SEA LEVEL RISE,
01:24:19 PROVIDING THEM THE TOOLS THAT THEY CAN MAKE DECISIONS ON, OR
01:24:25 IMPROVEMENTS AT THEIR OWN HOME.
01:24:27 THAT PROJECT STARTED AUGUST, CONCLUDED MAY, STARTED HAVING
01:24:33 COMMUNITY MEETINGS ON THAT PROJECT IN DECEMBER.
01:24:35 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:24:40 THE COASTAL RESILIENCY ACTION PLAN IS A PLAN, A SERIES OF
01:24:47 PROGRAMS WHICH DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT WE HEARD
01:24:51 THROUGHOUT THE CITY, PRIMARILY IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE
01:24:53 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND ALSO TO DEVELOPMENT IN AREAS SOUTH
01:24:58 OF GANDY AND OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY.
01:25:04 THIS PLANNING EFFORT WILL DO TWO THINGS.
01:25:08 FIRST IS TO LOOK AT, ASSESS AND MODIFY AND UPDATE THE ENTIRE
01:25:13 COASTAL STRATEGY THAT'S IDENTIFIED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE
01:25:17 PLAN.
01:25:17 WE HEARD EARLIER TODAY, MANY PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT,
01:25:23 IT WASN'T WORKING, WASN'T PROVIDING ENOUGH -- DIDN'T SEEM TO
01:25:28 BE ENOUGH GUIDANCE PROVIDED, DEVELOPERS SHOULD KNOW EXACTLY
01:25:33 WHAT'S REQUIRED OF THEM.
01:25:34 THE RESIDENTS SHOULD KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
01:25:38 COUNCIL SHOULD KNOW WHAT DECISION AND FEEL CONFIDENT IN
01:25:41 MAKING A LAND DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION IN A COASTAL HIGH
01:25:47 HAZARD AREA.
01:25:48 SO THE INTENT OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING, ALL
01:25:52 THE POLICIES IN THE HURRICANE A AND B ZONE AND RECOMMEND
01:25:56 STRATEGIES MOVING FORWARD, AND THEN ALSO THE INTENT OF THE
01:26:00 COMMUNITY MOVING FORWARD.
01:26:02 WE ALSO PUT IN THE GRANT APPLICATIONS AS MENTIONED, WE PUT
01:26:08 INTO THE GRANT TWO COMMUNITY FUNDS, WHAT SPECIFICALLY FOR
01:26:12 SOUTH OF GANDY TO DEAL WITH ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
01:26:15 IRREGARDLESS OF COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, TO LOOK AT WHERE
01:26:19 SOUTH OF GANDY IS TODAY, WHAT WE SEE AS GROWTH FOR THE
01:26:23 FUTURE AND WHAT IS THE BEST COMMUNITY PLAN FOR THAT AREA TO
01:26:26 MOVE FORWARD TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, AND WE ALSO HAVE
01:26:32 PALMETTO BEACH INCLUDED IN THERE, THE SECOND AREA AS ANOTHER
01:26:38 PLAN.
01:26:38 AND THEN THE OTHER PART, WHICH SHOWS ON THE MAP, WE KNOW
01:26:43 THERE'S A LARGE AMOUNT OF OUR VULNERABLE POPULATION,
01:26:47 LOW-INCOME POPULATION, THAT DOESN'T LIVE IN THE HURRICANE
01:26:51 SAFE ZONE.
01:26:51 THEY LIVE IN OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY.
01:26:53 BUT IN A STORM, THEY HAVE HIGH WINDS, TORRENTIAL RAINS,
01:26:59 FLOODING, IF THE ELECTRICITY GOES OUT THEY ARE AT RISK,
01:27:05 LONG-TERM OUTAGE OR ELECTRICITY.
01:27:07 SO THE PLAN WILL ALSO LOOK AT THE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN
01:27:11 THE CITY, AND RECOMMEND STRATEGIES OF TOMORROW OR
01:27:19 VULNERABILITY AND BRING RECOMMENDATIONS.
01:27:22 THIS IS PART OF THE PLAN ON THIS DEPARTMENT'S ECONOMIC
01:27:27 OPPORTUNITY, SPECIFICALLY TARGETED FOR AREAS THAT WERE
01:27:31 VULNERABLE TO HURRICANES, COASTAL STORMS, AND JUST PRESENTED
01:27:38 IN THIS WAY.
01:27:38 I WANT TO THANK THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY THOSE SOUTH OF
01:27:42 GANDY AREA, ATTENDED A COMMUNITY MEETING A WEEK AGO LAST
01:27:47 SATURDAY, WE ASKED THEM TO COMMENT ON THE GRANT PROPOSAL
01:27:51 THAT'S ON OUR WEBSITE, AND WE RECEIVED 104 COMMENTS, AND
01:27:58 ACTUALLY I THINK RECEIVED 150 COMMENTS THAT WERE TRANSMITTED
01:28:02 AS PART OF OUR RESPONSE BACK TO DEO IN TERMS OF WE THOUGHT
01:28:07 DEMONSTRATED COMMUNITY NEED.
01:28:09 SO WE HOPE WE GET THAT GRANT, WE HOPE IT'S GOING TO START
01:28:13 OFFER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR AND ADDRESS MANY OF THE ISSUES.
01:28:17 IF WE DON'T GET THE GRANT, WE STILL HAVE TO UPDATE THE
01:28:21 STRATEGY, AND THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WE WILL HAVE TO DO
01:28:24 INTERNALLY AND I WOULD RATHER HAVE THE GRANT, BECAUSE THE
01:28:26 ISSUES ARE SIGNIFICANT, AND THEY ARE NOT EASY TO GO THROUGH,
01:28:32 BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THE GRANT AND BE ABLE TO HAVE
01:28:37 CONSULTANTS TO HELP US DO THAT.
01:28:39 NEXT SLIDE.
01:28:40 THE NEXT MAJOR PLANNING INITIATIVES, TRANCE FORGE TAMPA
01:28:45 TOMORROW PROGRAM, AND IT'S FOCUSING ON MOBILITY, IMPLEMENT A
01:28:52 STRATEGIC PLAN TO ADDRESS MOBILITY IN THE FUTURE.
01:28:54 NEXT SLIDE.
01:28:57 MOBILITY PLAN WHICH IS REPRESENTED IN THE MOVE PROGRAM, THE
01:29:07 COMMUNITY CLEAR VISION FOR THE OBJECTIVES THE NEXT 30 YEARS,
01:29:12 TO SET STANDARDS AND PRIORITIES FOR TRAVEL.
01:29:16 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:29:18 THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE PHASE 1 WORK PROGRAM.
01:29:22 AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THE PHASE 1 IS FUNDED, A
01:29:26 DEVELOPMENT STARTING THIS PART OF THE PROJECT SOMETIME IN
01:29:28 THE NEXT 30 TO 60 DAYS.
01:29:31 WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING AN
01:29:34 INVENTORY, A CLASSIFICATION MAP, BUT IF YOU TAKE A CLOSER
01:29:40 LOOK AT THE WORDS -- NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:29:44 YOU SEE THAT I AM GOING TO BE REALLY DRILLING DOWN INTO
01:29:49 ABOUT LOOKING AT THE APPROVED PENDING DEVELOPMENT LAND USE
01:29:53 SITE, ASSESS THE LAND USE OPPORTUNITY, LOOK AT THE FUTURE
01:29:56 CORRIDOR AND ESTABLISH A CORRIDOR VISION, AND GOING TO HAVE
01:30:01 AN EXTENSIVE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM.
01:30:04 I THINK TEN COMMUNITY MEETINGS ARE ALL BEING IDENTIFIED, A
01:30:08 NUMBER OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THEN QUARTERLY OPEN HOUSES.
01:30:14 AND THIS GOES BACK TO QUESTIONS YOU RAISED EARLIER A COUPLE
01:30:17 OF TIMES, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, ABOUT THE NEED TO DRILL
01:30:20 DOWN AT A MUCH MORE LOCALIZED EFFORTS, AND ALSO LOOK AT THE
01:30:23 TRANSIT OPPORTUNITIES AND DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE SUPPORTING
01:30:26 OUR TRANSIT CORRIDORS.
01:30:29 THIS PLANNED STUDY, AGAIN TO BEGIN SHORTLY, DOES EXACTLY
01:30:33 THAT, DESIGNED TO LOOK AT THE PRIMARY TRANSIT CORRIDORS, THE
01:30:36 MAJOR TRANSIT CORRIDORS, ASSESS NOT ONLY THE LAND USE, THAT
01:30:40 IS THERE TODAY BUT THE FUTURE LAND USE.
01:30:42 IT GETS BACK TO THE QUESTION WHEREOF DO WHEN WANT TO GUIDE
01:30:44 DEVELOPMENT, AND WHERE DO YOU WANT TO ENCOURAGE
01:30:47 REDEVELOPMENT, AND THEN IDENTIFY THE SPECIFIC TRANSPORTATION
01:30:51 IMPROVEMENTS TO SUPPORT THAT DEVELOPMENT.
01:30:54 WE FEEL THAT WE CAN SUPPORT THAT EFFORT THROUGH THE PLANNING
01:30:56 DEPARTMENT AND ALSO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, LEVERAGE THE
01:31:01 EFFORTS OF MOBILITY OF THE CONSULTANT IS WORKING ON, PROVIDE
01:31:04 A MUCH DEEPER AND BROADER LAND USE PERSPECTIVE TO MAKE SURE
01:31:09 THAT THE QUESTIONS THAT THE COMMUNITY ARE ASKING ARE
01:31:11 REFLECTED IN THE OVERALL MOBILITY PLAN.
01:31:15 AT THE CONCLUSION OF THAT EFFORT, FINDING THAT THAT WILL
01:31:19 GIVE US A MUCH MORE REFINED MAP OF WHERE WE THINK WE WANT
01:31:22 GROWTH TO BE GUIDED, AND SUPPORTED, ELIMINATE THE TRANSIT
01:31:27 CORRIDORS, AS WELL AS -- AND WE CAN COME BACK AND DEFINE ALL
01:31:32 OF THE TOOLS I MENTIONED EARLIER IN TERMS OF WHAT'S IN THE
01:31:34 COMP PLAN AND THEN AMEND THE COMP PLAN.
01:31:37 NEXT SLIDE.
01:31:41 IN TERMS OF OTHER PLANNING EFFORTS -- AND THIS IS REALLY A
01:31:44 RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION THAT COUNCILMAN GUDES HAD A COUPLE
01:31:47 OF WEEKS AGO ABOUT THE PLAN FOR EAST TAMPA, AND IN OUR
01:31:53 DISCUSSIONS WITH REALLY A LARGER QUESTION OF JUST THE
01:31:55 EXAMPLE OF EVERYTHING IN THE EAST SIDE OF TAMPA.
01:32:00 IT REALLY GETS BACK TO THE CURRENT PLAN RIGHT NOW, WHEN YOU
01:32:04 ASK SOMEBODY, WHAT IS THE MASTER PLAN, IT'S REALLY A
01:32:07 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
01:32:08 AGAIN, THERE'S A TWO DIMENSIONAL IMAGE PORTION OF EAST
01:32:11 TAMPA, BUT WE KNOW THERE'S MUCH MOWER GOING ON IN EAST TAMPA
01:32:15 THAN JUST WITHIN THE LAND USE PLAN, AND ALSO WITHIN THE COMP
01:32:18 PLAN TODAY.
01:32:20 THERE'S A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS.
01:32:21 SOME OF THEM ARE LISTED HERE.
01:32:24 AND SO THE IDEA IS AS WE ARE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD,
01:32:30 ESTABLISHING THE 3-D VIRTUAL TOOLS, AND ALSO IN THE MOBILITY
01:32:34 PLAN THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT, VARIOUS CORRIDORS OF
01:32:38 DEVELOPMENT THROUGHOUT THE CITY, WE WILL BE ABLE TO BRING IN
01:32:41 SOME OF THE PLANNING FOR THAT.
01:32:44 WE ARE SHOWING LINKAGE TO THE PART, SHOWING AFFORDABLE
01:32:48 HOUSING TO THE OVERALL MOBILITY STRATEGY.
01:32:51 AND THEN IDEALLY, HOPEFULLY THAT WE ARE ABLE TO SHOW PEOPLE
01:32:55 THAT WHEREVER THEY ARE IN THE CITY, CAN PULL UP THE PLAN AND
01:33:01 IT WILL BE MUCH RICHER AND DEEPER IN TERMS OF THE
01:33:03 INFORMATION, SHOWING WHERE IT IS TODAY AND WHERE WE HOPE TO
01:33:08 SEE IT IN THE FUTURE.
01:33:09 NEXT SLIDE.
01:33:10 THIS IS THE SCHEDULE OF OUR PLANNING ACTIVITIES SHOWING
01:33:14 WHAT'S UNDERWAY, AND I THINK AGAIN THE COASTAL RESILIENCY
01:33:20 ACTION PLAN DEPENDS ON -- AND WE ARE HOPING TO GET THAT
01:33:26 ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
01:33:33 IN WHICH CASE WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET STARTED AFTER THE FIRST
01:33:36 OF THE YEAR.
01:33:36 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:33:38 IN TERMS OF COMPLETING THE STUDY THAT IS IDENTIFIED, WHAT WE
01:33:42 HOPE TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE STUDY, ESTABLISH A
01:33:48 NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING PROGRAM AND USE IN OTHER AREAS OF THE
01:33:50 CITY.
01:33:50 WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO REVISE AND UPDATE THE GROWTH
01:33:54 MANAGEMENT STRATEGY, SOMETHING THAT WE HEARD IN MANY OF THE
01:33:57 COMMENTS TODAY, WHAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE COMMUNITY.
01:34:00 WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO REFINE THE PRIORITY AREAS,
01:34:04 MOBILITY PLAN, I THINK.
01:34:06 WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO AN EVALUATION OF DENSITY AND INTENSITY
01:34:11 BY PLANNED CATEGORY, PARTIALLY THROUGH THE HART TOD STUDY,
01:34:15 AND WHEN WE GET INTO THE MOBILITY PLAN.
01:34:17 WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE DEVELOPMENT
01:34:19 CONCERNS OF RESIDENTS THAT ARE IN HURRICANE AND SEA LEVEL
01:34:24 RISE VULNERABILITY AREAS.
01:34:28 WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE GRANT.
01:34:30 WE WILL BE ABLE TO SPECIFICALLY RESPOND TO THE CONCERNS OF
01:34:33 RESIDENTS IN THE SOUTH GANDY AREA BY DEVELOPING A PLAN THAT
01:34:37 WILL ADDRESS THE ISSUES AND THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT THEY HAVE
01:34:41 IDENTIFIED.
01:34:42 WE WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR PALMETTO
01:34:46 BEACH.
01:34:47 AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO
01:34:50 VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY, LOW TO
01:34:54 MODERATE INCOME AREAS DUE TO TROPICAL STORM.
01:34:57 AS WE FINISH THESE STUDIES, AND WE RECEIVE THE BENEFITS THAT
01:35:01 THEY PROVIDE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO AMEND THE COMP PLAN AND BE
01:35:05 ABLE TO MEMORIALIZE THAT, THE COMP PLAN, THE NEW GROWTH
01:35:12 STRATEGIES MOVING FORWARD.
01:35:14 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:35:21 THERE ARE A COUPLE OF -- THERE WAS A COUPLE OF OTHER STAFF
01:35:26 MEMOS, THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SUMMARIZE TO YOU.
01:35:32 AND TWO DEAL WITH THE COVID RELATED CITY COUNCIL MEETING
01:35:41 CANCELLATION, AND THEN THE OTHER WAS THE BONUS DENSITY.
01:35:50 SO I THINK WE HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO BREAK IN AND
01:35:55 PROVIDE A SUMMARY OF THOSE TWO CODE AMENDMENTS.
01:35:58 >>CAROLE POST: THIS IS CAROLE POST AGAIN.
01:36:02 IN THE CONTEXT OF -- IF YOU CAN BRING UP THE BONUS DENSITY
01:36:06 PRESENTATION.
01:36:08 MS. ABBYE FEELEY WILL GIVE A FEW MINUTES SUMMARY
01:36:12 REFRESHING -- WE KNOW WE COVERED A LOT OF INFORMATION HERE,
01:36:15 AND IT'S A LOT THAT WE REALLY TRIED TO ENCOMPASS.
01:36:23 SOME OF THIS HAS BEEN CATCHING UP.
01:36:27 FOR EXAMPLE, THE LAST TWO ITEMS WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS,
01:36:29 THESE DATE BACK TO MAY, SEPTEMBER, 2019.
01:36:34 MEMOS THAT HAVE BEEN PREPARED THAT WERE SUBMITTED TO
01:36:38 COUNCIL, BUT THE COUNCIL MEETING WAS CANCELED.
01:36:41 IT'S JUST NEVER REALLY BEEN FULLY BRIEFED.
01:36:43 AT THIS POINT THEY NOW CONTEXT TALLY INTEGRATE INTO THIS
01:36:47 OVERALL GROWTH MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION.
01:36:49 SO WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE PATIENCE OF LETTING US BRING
01:36:52 ALL OF THESE THINGS TOGETHER.
01:36:54 IF THERE'S ANY SILVER LINING TO THIS, IT IS THAT TRUE GROWTH
01:36:59 MANAGEMENT PLANNING DOES REQUIRE CONTEXTUALIZING ALL OF
01:37:03 THESE THINGS AND NOT DEALING WITH THEM ON ONE-OFF BASES.
01:37:07 SO WE WILL FINISH THESE LAST TWO AND THEN TURN BACK OVER TO
01:37:09 THE CHAIR AND COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSION.
01:37:12 SO ABBEY, YOU ARE UP.
01:37:13 THANK YOU.
01:37:13 >>ABBYE FEELEY: GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.
01:37:18 ABBYE FEELEY, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
01:37:22 I AM GOING TO COVER FOR YOU THE BONUS DENSITY INTENSITY
01:37:26 PROVISION.
01:37:28 A HISTORY OF THAT.
01:37:29 AND BY THE THAT IN PERSPECTIVE FOR YOU.
01:37:31 AND THEN WE WILL ALSO DISCUSS THE DISCUSSION RELATED TO THE
01:37:38 5% THAT COUNCIL MADE A MOTION ON.
01:37:39 SO THIS FIRST IS TO GO OVER SOME OF THE HISTORY OF THE
01:37:44 CITY'S BONUS DENSITY AND INTENSITY PROVISION, I KNOW SOME OF
01:37:51 THIS IS COMING TO YOU THAT HAD BONUS AMENDMENT THAT ARE
01:37:53 GOING WITH THEM.
01:37:55 IF WE CAN SHOW THE FIRST SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:37:57 THIS WAS THE MOTION TO APPEAR BEFORE COUNCIL AND DISCUSS THE
01:38:04 HISTORY OF THE BONUS PROVISION.
01:38:05 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:38:08 THE FIRST BONUS PROVISIONS REALLY WENT INTO AND WERE A
01:38:13 RESULT OF THE 2010 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND BONUS LOOKED AT
01:38:17 ACHIEVING MAXIMUM DENSITY AND INTENSITY.
01:38:20 THEY WERE DONE THROUGH BONUS STANDARDS.
01:38:23 INITIALLY THERE, WERE SEVEN ON THE LIST IN THE LAND
01:38:27 DEVELOPMENT CODE, AND AN APPLICANT BONUS BY JUST MEETING ONE
01:38:31 OF THOSE.
01:38:32 LATER, IN 2006, IT DID GO TO A LIST OF TEN, AND THEY WERE
01:38:40 REQUIRED TO MEET THREE OF TEN.
01:38:42 MANY OF THE REZONINGS I PROCESSED BEFORE YOU YEARS AGO,
01:38:46 THERE WERE THREE OF TEN WERE A TRANSIT STOP, STRUCTURED
01:38:48 PARKING, ENHANCED LANDSCAPING.
01:38:51 AND IT OFTEN CAME UP EVEN DURING THOSE TIMES WHERE THERE WAS
01:38:55 A DISCUSSION OF WHETHER OR NOT THESE AMENITIES WERE
01:38:59 EQUITABLE TO THE BONUS DENSITY THAT THE DEVELOPER WAS
01:39:02 ACHIEVING.
01:39:04 LATER ON, IN 2007, THE CBD AND CHANNEL DISTRICT BONUS
01:39:10 AMENITIES WENT IN, AND THIS WAS DONE THROUGH A FORMULA.
01:39:14 THE FORMULA USED LAND VALUE AND CONSTRUCTION VALUE AND WAS A
01:39:20 TEN TO ONE RATIO BASED ON SQUARE FOOTAGE BECAUSE IN THE CBD
01:39:24 PERIPHERY AND CHANNEL DISTRICT, IT WAS TYPICALLY AN F.A.R.
01:39:28 BONUS THAT CAME FORWARD BEFORE YOU.
01:39:32 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:39:36 IN 2016 THE CULMINATION OF A LOT OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS, ARE
01:39:40 WE REALLY GETTING A BONUS EQUAL TO WHAT THE DEVELOPERS ARE
01:39:44 RECEIVING, CAME FORTH AGAIN, AND AT THAT TIME IT WAS
01:39:48 STANDARDIZED THAT WE WERE GOING TO USE THE FORMULA
01:39:53 THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
01:39:55 AT THAT TIME, ALSO, THE GENERAL BONUS STANDARDS, AND THE
01:40:00 CHANNEL DISTRICT AMENITIES, WERE UPDATED TO INCLUDE MORE
01:40:06 DIRECT LINKS BETWEEN THE FORMULA AND THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT
01:40:11 WERE BEING MADE.
01:40:12 COUNCIL, YOU MAY REMEMBER RECENTLY, YOU LOOKED AT A ZONING
01:40:16 ON NORTH BOULEVARD THAT ALSO HAD A BONUS, AND THE
01:40:20 IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE GOING TO BE FUNDED BY THAT BONUS WERE
01:40:23 ACTUALLY MORE THAN HALF A MILE AWAY, AND COUNCIL, I BELIEVE
01:40:28 IT WAS COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, RAISED AT THAT TIME, YOU KNOW,
01:40:32 THAT'S KIND OF ODD, SINCE BONUS IS GOING HERE BUT THE
01:40:35 IMPROVEMENT IS GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE.
01:40:37 SO FAIR POINT.
01:40:39 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:40:41 BONUSES ARE AVAILABLE IN THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
01:40:48 THESE ARE THE LAND USE DISTRICTS, R-10, R-35, R 50, R 83.
01:40:54 THEY ARE ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE CC-35, CMU-35, AND UMU 60.
01:41:02 THERE ARE BY RIGHT THERE, WAS RECENTLY AN AMENDMENT TO THE
01:41:06 COMP PLAN THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO BONUS WITHOUT DOING A PD IN
01:41:12 CERTAIN LAND USE CATEGORIES.
01:41:14 AND THIS GOES ALONG -- HAS COME FROM SOME DISCUSSIONS OF
01:41:18 PROJECTS ALONG FLORIDA AND NEBRASKA, AND THE LAND USE
01:41:23 CATEGORIES GAVE THEM AN F.A.R. OF ABOUT ONE, AND THE REALITY
01:41:28 IS THEY NEEDED JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A BUMP OVER THAT ALONG
01:41:31 THESE CORRIDORS TO MAKE THESE MIXED USE PROJECTS WORK.
01:41:35 SO THOSE WERE AMENDED TO ALLOW A BUMP FOR VERTICALLY
01:41:39 INTEGRATED PROJECTS THAT HAD USES FROM TWO DIFFERENT USE
01:41:43 CATEGORIES THAT WERE VERTICALLY INTEGRATED INTO ONE
01:41:46 BUILDING.
01:41:51 THE CDB PERIPHERY ALLOWS FOR A BONUS DOUBLE, AND THERE'S A
01:41:55 LOT OF RMU 100 THERE, THAT'S AN F.A.R. OF 3½ WHICH CAN
01:42:00 POTENTIALLY GO UP TO A 7.
01:42:02 I DO HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PERIPHERY IN A
01:42:04 MOMENT.
01:42:05 SEMINOLE HEIGHTS HAS NO BONUSES.
01:42:08 THROUGH PREPARATION OF RESPONSE TO YOUR MOTION, ACTUALLY
01:42:12 THERE ARE TWO OTHER BONUSES THAT ARE IN THE COMP PLAN THAT I
01:42:15 AM NOT FAMILIAR, THAT THE CITY CURRENTLY EXECUTES, AND THAT
01:42:18 IS THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT WHICH REQUIRES THE CAC
01:42:25 OVERLAY AND THEN THE ECONOMIC OVERLAY BONUS ALLOWS FOR
01:42:30 EMPLOYMENT CENTERS AND CORPORATE PARKS.
01:42:32 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:42:35 THE CBD PERIPHERY AS I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED ESTABLISHED IN
01:42:38 THE COMP PLAN ALLOWS FOR POTENTIAL OF 100% INCREASE IN FLOOR
01:42:42 AREA RATIO.
01:42:43 THEY ARE REQUIRED TO BE UNDER A SITE PLAN CONTROLLED ZONING,
01:42:48 AND IT REALLY SEEKS TO PROMOTE EITHER RESIDENTIAL OR
01:42:53 VERTICAL MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS TO SUPPORT THE
01:42:56 DOWNTOWN EMPLOYMENT CENTER.
01:42:58 IT IS IMPLEMENTED THROUGH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
01:43:01 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:43:07 I DID PROVIDE YOU WITH A MAP OF THE CDC PERIPHERY.
01:43:11 I RECENTLY LOOKED AT THIS IN ANOTHER PLANNING EFFORT, AND
01:43:14 YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE WEST THIS DOES COME TO NORTH
01:43:16 BOULEVARD.
01:43:17 IT DOES RUN UP THE CENTER LINE OF NORTH BOULEVARD.
01:43:20 SO YOU HAVE A WESTERN PORTION OF THE RIVER THAT IS CONTAINED
01:43:24 IN THE CBD PERIPHERY.
01:43:27 ON PALM AVENUE ON THE NORTH AND COMES DO I KNOW ON THE EAST
01:43:31 SIDE ALONG NEBRASKA AND THEN YOU WILL SEE IT RUNS BY YBOR
01:43:35 CHANNEL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HARBOR ISLAND.
01:43:38 THOSE INTENSE CATEGORIES THERE ARE YOU'RE RMU 100, AND 35
01:43:47 ALONG THE RED CORRIDORS IN THE CENTER THERE, AND THEN YOU
01:43:51 CAN SEE ALONG THE UT SIDE, AND PARTICULARLY IN THE LANE ON
01:43:57 THE WEST SIDE, THAT'S THE EXTREME PORTION THERE, AND THEN UT
01:44:00 IS THAT BLUE AREA THERE.
01:44:03 SO THIS REALLY IS LOOKING AT BONUSING WITHIN THIS AREA TO
01:44:07 SUPPORT THE EFFORTS IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.
01:44:12 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:44:15 SEMINOLE HEIGHTS BONUSES, THESE ARE ESTABLISHED IN THE
01:44:18 VISION PLAN.
01:44:20 WHAT YOU SEE THERE IN THE SLIDE IS THE MASS THAT HAS THE
01:44:26 SMALLER CIRCLES WHICH ARE THE NEIGHBORHOOD ZONES, AND THE
01:44:29 LARGER CIRCLES WHICH ARE THOSE COMMUNITY NODES.
01:44:33 AND REALLY THOSE ARE DEFINING AREAS WHERE WE WANT TO BE SEE
01:44:37 SOME ADDITIONAL DENSITY AND INTENSITY LOCATED IN ORDER TO
01:44:42 SUPPORT COMMUNITY AMENITIES.
01:44:49 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THE PROS AND CONS OF BONUS.
01:44:55 THIS IS INTERESTING, BECAUSE IT DOES PROMOTE MAXIMIZATION OF
01:45:00 DEVELOPMENT THROUGH A CONTROLLED PROCESS.
01:45:03 AND WHAT'S INTERESTING NOW IS THAT IT IS A PD SO IT COMES
01:45:06 BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL IN AN EFFORT TO DEMONSTRATE THAT
01:45:10 COMPLIANCE, AND REALLY FURTHERS THE STRATEGIC INITIATIVE FOR
01:45:14 THE CITY.
01:45:17 IT ALSO ALLOWS INFORM SITE PLAN COMMITMENTS THAT ARE ON THE
01:45:20 PLAN.
01:45:21 THAT COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE BONUSES TO ENSURE THAT IT
01:45:26 IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.
01:45:31 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:45:36 THE NEGATIVES.
01:45:39 ABC AND I THINK COUNCIL IS AWARE OF THIS.
01:45:40 THE BONUS HAS REALLY BECOME A PAY TO PLAY APPROACH.
01:45:45 I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT IS THE INTENTION OF HOW WE ARE
01:45:47 LOOKING TO DIRECT IN A MORE MEANINGFUL WAY, OFTEN RESULTS IN
01:45:53 SUBSTANTIAL WAIVERS.
01:45:54 I DID ACTUALLY PULL BONUS IN 2016, AND THERE HAVE BEEN 433
01:46:04 ZONINGS IN THIS TIME, BUT THERE ONLY HAVE BEEN 12 BONUSES.
01:46:12 SO THAT WAS INTERESTING.
01:46:15 OUT OF 12, THAT SOUGHT BONUS AND APPROVAL THROUGH CITY
01:46:19 COUNCIL, THREE WERE FOR AIR CONDITIONED -- I'M SORRY, FOUR
01:46:24 WERE INFORM AIR CONDITIONED SELF-STORAGE, AND THREE WERE FOR
01:46:28 MULTIFAMILY, THREE WERE FOR TOWNHOMES AND ONE WAS FOR A
01:46:33 HOTEL.
01:46:34 AND A COMMON CRITICISM OF THIS BONUS IS THAT THESE, WHEN YOU
01:46:38 GO TO THAT MAXIMIZATION OF DEVELOPMENT, YOU TEND TO ALSO
01:46:42 HAVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF WAIVERS.
01:46:44 SO WHEN WE ARE BONUSING, WELL, THEY ARE GETTING RELIEF FROM
01:46:48 THE CODE, THAT'S NOT STRIKING A VERY GOOD BALANCE BETWEEN
01:46:52 THE MAXIMIZATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND SATISFACTION OF OUR
01:46:57 CODE REQUIREMENTS.
01:47:04 ALSO, BACK TO THAT SLIDE FOR JUST A MINUTE.
01:47:09 IN THE TEN CRITERIA THAT CAME FORWARD AS WELL AS THE
01:47:11 CRITERIA THAT ARE ON THE BOOKS TODAY, AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS
01:47:15 ONE OF THE BONUS AMENITIES, AND WE HAVE YET TO HAVE A SINGLE
01:47:20 PROJECT UTILIZE THAT.
01:47:23 NEXT, PLEASE.
01:47:28 MY RECOMMENDATIONS TODAY WOULD BE TO REEXAMINE -- AND I KNOW
01:47:32 THEY ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALL OF THIS
01:47:34 ASSOCIATION I DON'T WANT TO -- BUT WE SHOULD REEXAMINE THE
01:47:39 BE BONUS DENSITY INCLUDING LOOKING AT THE FORMULA TO BE A
01:47:43 FORMULA THAT A DEVELOPER OR RESIDENT CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND,
01:47:47 AND ALSO AN AMENITY LIST TO ENCOURAGE USE AND REFOCUS THE
01:47:52 PROVISIONS TO INCENTIVIZE AND ACHIEVE OUR KEY PRIORITIES.
01:47:57 THAT IS THE PRESENTATION ON THE BONUS.
01:48:04 I DON'T KNOW, CHAIR, IF I CAN TAKE QUESTIONS ON THAT NOW OR
01:48:09 IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO GO AHEAD FORWARD TO THE 5%
01:48:13 DISCUSSION.
01:48:14 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO TO THE NEXT ONE AND THEN WE'LL TAKE
01:48:16 QUESTIONS.
01:48:17 >>ABBYE FEELEY: YES, SIR.
01:48:20 IN RELATION TO THAT 5% LOT CREATION, THIS WAS ALSO A MOTION
01:48:26 BY COUNCIL, OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD, IF YOU WATCHED MOST
01:48:33 REZONING HEARINGS TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, AND I BELIEVE I
01:48:35 DID SEE THIS HEARING WHERE THE MOTION WAS MADE.
01:48:38 IT WAS NOT DURING MY TIME AT THE CITY, BUT IT WAS A
01:48:45 DISCUSSION TO LOOK AT POTENTIALLY AN ADMINISTRATIVE
01:48:48 OPPORTUNITY TO IMPLEMENT THE CREATION OF LOTS THAT ARE 5%
01:48:55 LESS THAN WHAT THE CITY'S CURRENT STANDARDS ARE.
01:48:58 IF WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE.
01:49:04 THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DISCUSSES THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
01:49:08 SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, THE RESIDENTIAL UNIT WITH URBAN
01:49:12 SPACE ON ALL SIDES.
01:49:14 THE COMP PLAN DOES NOT ADDRESS WHAT THE PREFERRED LOT SIZES
01:49:17 OR LOT DIMENSIONS ARE.
01:49:19 IT FOCUSES ON CREATING COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE IN-FILL
01:49:24 DEVELOPMENT.
01:49:25 THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PLANS SEEK TO STRIKE A
01:49:29 BALANCE BETWEEN THE PRESERVATION OF ESTABLISHED
01:49:31 SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE PROMOTION OF
01:49:34 IN-FILL DEVELOPMENT.
01:49:36 THIS GOES BACK TO WHAT RANDY IS SAYING. WE KNOW WE HAVE
01:49:39 PEOPLE COMING, AND WE ARE NOT IN IT GETTING ANY MORE LAND IN
01:49:46 SO IT HAS TO BE ON THE LAND THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, AND
01:49:48 STRIKING THAT BALANCE IS IMPORTANT.
01:49:49 AND LASTLY, STREAMLINING DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS TO REMOVE
01:49:54 UNNECESSARY REQUIREMENTS OR DELAYS IN APPROVING AND
01:50:00 PERMITTING RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
01:50:02 NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
01:50:04 OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IS REALLY WHERE THE CREATION OF
01:50:07 LOTS ARE HOUSED, AND WE PROVIDED YOU HERE WITH THE
01:50:12 DEFINITIONS OF LOT WIDTH, LOT DEPTH, WHICH I KNOW YOU ALL
01:50:19 ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH, SO I WILL CONTINUE.
01:50:24 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:50:26 I THINK WHERE THIS GETS INTERESTING IS IN THE RELATION TO
01:50:31 THE LOT OF RECORD.
01:50:33 MANY DECISIONS THAT COME BEFORE YOU ARE OR APPLICATIONS THAT
01:50:39 COME BEFORE YOU MAY HAVE TWO PLATTED LOTS, BUT THAT IS ONE
01:50:42 ZONING LOT.
01:50:43 SO IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THOSE PLATTED LOTS BACK AS BOTH
01:50:48 BEING BUILDABLE LOTS, THEY NEED A REZONING BECAUSE THEY ARE
01:50:54 NOT A SINGLE LOT OF RECORD, IN SINGLE LOT OWNERSHIP.
01:51:01 THAT'S WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE TRICKY.
01:51:02 SINGLE LOTS OF RECORD THAT HAVE BEEN IN SINGLE SEPARATE
01:51:05 OWNERSHIP ARE ALWAYS BUILDABLE LOTS.
01:51:08 IT'S WHEN YOU HAVE DOUBLE LOTS OR TRIPLE LOTS THAT YOU ARE
01:51:14 SEEKING TO -- SEEK A REESTABLISHMENT AS THE PLATTED LOT THAT
01:51:18 IT BECOMES AN APPLICATION BEFORE COUNCIL.
01:51:22 WE DO HAVE LOTS OF PROVISIONS IN EAST TAMPA, WEST TAMPA,
01:51:32 SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, YBOR AND PARKLAND, AND THEY SAY IF PRIOR
01:51:40 TO THIS DATE ON THE SLIDE, YOU ARE A BUILDABLE LOTS.
01:51:44 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
01:51:48 THIS IS A MAP OF THOSE AREAS WE JUST DISCUSSED WITH YOU.
01:51:53 SO IF YOU ARE A LEGAL LOT OF RECORD, IN EAST TAMPA, FOR
01:51:58 EXAMPLE, AND YOU ARE A 48-FOOT LOT, IF YOU ARE ZONED RS-50,
01:52:02 YOU ARE A BUILDABLE LOT.
01:52:04 IN EAST TAMPA WE HAVE LOT OF RECORDS PROVISIONS FOR BOTH
01:52:08 RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL LOTS.
01:52:12 A MAP OF THOSE AREAS.
01:52:13 REGULATIONS ARE NEEDED FOR LOTS, THE CREATION OF NEW LOTS,
01:52:20 7-ELEVEN, AND REQUIRES THAT ANY NEW LOT MUST MEET THE
01:52:24 STANDARD OF THE UNDERLYING ZONING DISTRICTS, AND ALSO THEY
01:52:30 ARE COMPLETED THROUGH A FORMAL DECISION PROCESS.
01:52:32 SO THE BEST COVERAGE WOULD BE IF YOU HAVE TWO PLATTED LOTS,
01:52:37 50 BY 100 THAT ARE IN SINGLE OWNERSHIP RIGHT NOW, IF YOU
01:52:40 HAVE 100 BY 100 LOTS, THE ONLY WAY TO SPLIT THOSE, EVEN
01:52:45 THOUGH THEY BOTH MEET THE 50 BY 100 RS-50 WOULD BE TO COMB
01:52:50 THROUGH THE FORMAL DECISION PROCESS.
01:52:53 NONCONFORMING LOTS ARE THOSE WHICH I JUST MENTIONED TO YOU,
01:52:58 ESTABLISHED TO BE A NONCONFORMING LOT THROUGH THE FORMAL
01:53:02 DECISION PROCESS, THE LOT CAN BE DEVELOPED REGARDLESS OF THE
01:53:06 EVENTUAL REQUIREMENTS AS WELL.
01:53:08 SO THOSE ARE ALL THOSE SINGLE SEPARATE OWNERSHIPS.
01:53:12 IF YOU ARE DOUBLE, YOU CAN'T GO BACK TO BEING SINGLE.
01:53:16 YOU ARE CONSIDERED ONE ZONING LOT.
01:53:19 AND THAT REQUIRES ANOTHER ACTION.
01:53:22 NEXT SLIDE.
01:53:24 THIS IS JUST TO SHOW YOU THE REGULATIONS THAT RUN WITH THESE
01:53:28 TO THE PROPERTIES.
01:53:29 NEXT SLIDE.
01:53:34 SO A 5%, WHAT WOULD THAT REALLY ENCOMPASS?
01:53:38 RELATION TO THE RS-50 -- (LOST AUDIO).
01:53:48 LARGEST GROUP THAT COMES BEFORE COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION OF
01:53:56 SPLITS.
01:53:58 SO WE WANTED TO FOCUS OWN THOSE.
01:54:02 I THINK GOING BACK IN MY REVIEW OF THE DOCUMENTATION
01:54:06 ANALYSIS SINCE I HAVE COME ON BOARD, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO
01:54:09 IS TRY TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL AS TO
01:54:12 WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO CAPTURE IN THE 5%.
01:54:17 MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR THAT THE CITY USED TO HAVE AN 80%
01:54:21 RULE.
01:54:22 AND THAT WASN'T LOOKING AT IT FROM A REDUCTION SIZE.
01:54:27 THAT WAS LOOKING FROM A SATISFACTION SIDE.
01:54:29 IF YOU SATISFIED 80% OF THE MINIMUM LOT REQUIREMENTS, YOU
01:54:34 COULD SPLIT LOTS.
01:54:39 THE 80% RULE INITIALLY WAS ADMINISTRATIVE.
01:54:42 IT LATER BECAME A SPECIAL USE.
01:54:45 AND THEN FINALLY THE SPECIAL USE WENT AWAY AND IT REALLY
01:54:49 BECAME A DECISION BEFORE CITY COUNCIL, WHICH IS WHAT YOU
01:54:53 HAVE BEFORE YOU TODAY, WHICH IS THE REZONING PROCESS, TO
01:54:57 ESTABLISH THOSE LOTS.
01:55:01 WE WOULD -- I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK
01:55:04 FROM YOU RELATED TO THAT.
01:55:06 I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE EXERCISE A MEANINGFUL ONE, IF WE
01:55:11 ARE GOING TO VENTURE DOWN MAKING IT AN ADMINISTRATIVE
01:55:14 PROCESS.
01:55:16 SO WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT WHAT WE REALLY THINK WOULD BE A
01:55:20 MEANINGFUL PERCENTAGE, AND THEN SECONDLY, WHAT WOULD BE THE
01:55:24 CRITERIA THAT WOULD RUN WITH THAT PERCENTAGE FOR AN
01:55:27 ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL.
01:55:30 AND WE WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME FEEDBACK FROM YOU ON THAT
01:55:33 TODAY AS PART OF THE WORKSHOP, AND THEN LOOK AT SETTING A
01:55:36 TIMELINE TO COME BACK BEFORE YOU WITH THAT INFORMATION.
01:55:38 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
01:55:41 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
01:55:42 ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. FEELEY AT THIS TIME BY ANY COUNCIL
01:55:46 MEMBERS?
01:55:46 >>BILL CARLSON: THIS IS CARLSON.
01:55:53 I WOULD LIKE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO ENABLE STAFF TO MAKE
01:55:58 DECISIONS ON SOME OF THE KIND OF MINOR ISSUES THAT COME
01:56:05 BEFORE US THAT TAKE A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY FOR THE PUBLIC,
01:56:10 ESPECIALLY INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS.
01:56:12 BUT THE QUESTION IS, WILL THAT -- WILL THAT MOVE THE
01:56:17 EXPECTATION FURTHER?
01:56:18 SO IF THESE REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT
01:56:21 WERE IN PLACE, THEN STAFF CAN MAKE A DECISION F.STAFF SAYS
01:56:26 NO, WILL THAT JUST PUSH EVERYBODY TO CITY COUNCIL ANYWAY AND
01:56:29 THEN WE WILL HAVE A FULL AGENDA DEALING WITH EXCEPTIONS? OR
01:56:32 IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN CREATE A FINAL NO, THAT STAFF
01:56:36 SAYS NO AND WE DON'T HAVE A CITY COUNCIL AFTERWARDS?
01:56:39 >>ABBYE FEELEY: I THINK WE WILL NEED TO WORK THROUGH THAT
01:56:46 AS PART OF THE PROCESS.
01:56:48 MOST OF OUR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES DO HAVE AN APPEAL
01:56:53 OPPORTUNITY, AND THAT DOES COME BACK BEFORE YOU.
01:56:58 SO I THINK I WOULD NEED TO CONFER WITH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT
01:57:01 ON THAT WHEN WE BRING IT BACK TO YOU AS TO WHAT THE STRATEGY
01:57:05 WOULD BE FOR ACCOMPLISHING THAT.
01:57:07 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: QUESTION.
01:57:12 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
01:57:13 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I DIDN'T KNOW, IF CARLSON, IF YOU WERE
01:57:17 DONE I.DIDN'T WANT TO INTERRUPT.
01:57:18 >>BILL CARLSON: I'M DONE.
01:57:19 THANK YOU.
01:57:20 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
01:57:21 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
01:57:23 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I HEARD I WAS GARBLED EARLIER.
01:57:29 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOU'RE GOOD.
01:57:31 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALL RIGHT.
01:57:38 BUT WELCOME BACK.
01:57:39 YOU ARE A VALUABLE ADDITION.
01:57:41 GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK.
01:57:45 IN REGARDS TO RESPONSES TO MR. CARLSON'S COMMENT, I THINK WE
01:57:50 ALWAYS HAVE THIS TENSION, BILL.
01:57:55 ON THE ONE HAND, ZONING AGENDAS GET MASSIVE, AND IT FEELS
01:58:01 LIKE WE ARE DEALING WITH REALLY MINIMUS ISSUES, A ZONING
01:58:07 OPPORTUNITY THAT MIGHT BE ONE OR TWO FEET SHORT, AND WE
01:58:12 SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON IT AND WE JUST SCRATCH OUR HEADS, AND
01:58:17 WE WONDER WHY WE ARE DEALING WITH THIS.
01:58:20 THIS LOT IS 48 FEET WIDE AND IT NEEDS TO BE 50 FEET WIDE.
01:58:28 AND MAYBE IT COULD BE DECIDED BY STAFF, BUT THEN THE FLIP
01:58:33 SIDE IS, IF IT'S DECIDED BY STAFF, THEN TYPICALLY THE
01:58:37 CITIZENS, THE NEIGHBORS, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION,
01:58:41 DOES NOT HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF INVOLVEMENT.
01:58:43 AND THEN PEOPLE SCRATCH THEIR HEAD OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND
01:58:48 THEY SAY, HEY, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
01:58:50 SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE ARE FACED WITH.
01:58:55 BUT ONE OF THE WAYS, I THINK LEGAL HAS SPOKEN ABOUT THIS IN
01:58:59 THE PAST, OVER AT THE COUNTY, I DON'T THINK THEY DO A LOT OF
01:59:03 THINGS GREAT, BUT I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THEY DO
01:59:05 DIFFERENT IN THE COUNTY IS THAT THEY HAVE A ZONING HEARING
01:59:09 MASTER PROCESS THAT INSTEAD OF US HAVING TWO READINGS AT
01:59:15 CITY COUNCIL, WE COULD HAVE A ZONING HEARING MASTER WHO
01:59:19 HANDLES THE FIRST READING FOR ZONINGS, ET CETERA, AND THEN
01:59:25 WE GET THE SECOND, AND WE GET THE SECOND READING WITH THAT
01:59:28 RECOMMENDATION FROM THE ZONING HEARING MASTER.
01:59:34 IT'S A RECOMMENDATION.
01:59:35 SO I DON'T KNOW IF MS. GRIMES WANT TO CHIME IN ON THAT WHEN
01:59:39 I AM DONE.
01:59:39 AND THEN THAT'S SORT OF A COMPROMISE, MIDDLE POSITION, IN A
01:59:45 WAY TO PERHAPS SHORTEN UP SOME OF OUR ZONING AGENDAS.
01:59:51 MS. FEELEY, I DID HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
01:59:53 YOU SAID IN REGARD TO RECORD, IN SOME OF THE OVERLAY
02:00:00 DISTRICTS, AND I THINK AGAIN IT'S PROBABLY AT LEAST A THIRD
02:00:04 IF NOT MORE, PROBABLY HALF OF THE ORIGINAL CITY LIMITS,
02:00:09 WITHOUT NEW TAMPA, WHY DO WE DISTINGUISH, AND QUESTION WAS
02:00:14 IT DECIDED TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE OVERLAY DISTRICTS AND
02:00:17 THE REST OF THE CITY?
02:00:18 >>ABBYE FEELEY: I BELIEVE THAT WHEN WE PUT THE OVERLAYS IN
02:00:28 TO ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT, THE LEGAL LOT OF RECORD WAS
02:00:31 ESTABLISHED.
02:00:34 BECAUSE THERE ARE SMALLER LOTS IN THAT AREA, AND IN ORDER TO
02:00:38 ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE IN FACT BUILDABLE, I DON'T WANT TO
02:00:45 CALL IT DEADLOCK, BUT LOTS COULD NOT BE REDEVELOPED WITHIN
02:00:50 THAT AREA, BUT AN INVENTORY OF THOSE LOTS AND GAVE THEM THE
02:00:55 ABILITY.
02:00:55 NOW, THEY STILL HAVE TO MEET ALL OF THE REGULATIONS THAT RUN
02:00:59 WITH AN RS-50 PROPERTY, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THEY ARE 42 FEET, I
02:01:04 MEAN, IN WEST TAMPA THERE ARE SOME PLATTED LOTS OF RECORD
02:01:06 THAT ARE 25 FEET, WHICH WERE TYPICALLY AND HISTORICALLY
02:01:10 WHERE USED FOR HOUSES -- EVEN TODAY THEY WOULD STILL HAVE
02:01:16 THE NEED, AND THEN IN WEST TAMPA, THEY USE AVERAGING FOR THE
02:01:21 FRONT AND OTHER THINGS.
02:01:22 BUT THEY STILL HAVE TO MEET THE STANDARDS THAT ARE PLACED ON
02:01:27 THOSE LOTS.
02:01:27 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALL RIGHT.
02:01:30 WELL, THAT'S A GOOD ANSWER.
02:01:31 SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS WHEN WE CREATED THOSE OVERLAY
02:01:35 DISTRICTS, AND I THINK WE STARTED CREATING THEM THE LAST
02:01:37 TIME I WAS HERE, WHEN WE CREATED THEM, IT WAS TO ENCOURAGE
02:01:43 REDEVELOPMENT, AND BASICALLY THE LEGAL STANDARD IS IF IT'S
02:01:49 TRULY A VACANT LOT, NOT ATTACHED, CONJOINED WITH THE
02:01:54 ADJACENT LOT, THEN THAT'S WHEN THAT RULE COMES IN?
02:01:59 >>ABBYE FEELEY: YES, SIR.
02:02:01 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALL RIGHT.
02:02:01 I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
02:02:02 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
02:02:03 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:02:03 >>ORLANDO GUDES: CHAIRMAN?
02:02:05 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN GUDES.
02:02:06 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR.
02:02:09 GOOD PRESENTATION.
02:02:10 LONG.
02:02:12 COMPLICATED FOR SOME OF THE VIEWERS AT HOME IN REFERENCE TO
02:02:19 SOME OF THE INFORMATION.
02:02:21 AND MR. DINGFELDER DID TAKE A LITTLE BIT AWAY FROM WHAT I
02:02:24 WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT.
02:02:25 I KNOW THE COUNTY DOES HAVE A DIFFERENT PROCESS IN ZONING,
02:02:36 [~AUDIO DISTORTION~] WHETHER TO POSSIBLY BE MORE
02:02:40 COMPLICATED, TO COUNCIL FOR FINAL APPROVAL.
02:02:45 NUMBER ONE.
02:02:45 NUMBER TWO, IF YOU CAN SEND ME THE NUMBERS FOR THAT BONUS
02:02:52 DENSITY.
02:02:55 WIDE RANGES, NUMBERS OF HOUSING.
02:02:59 CAN YOU GIVE THOSE NUMBERS AGAIN?
02:03:01 >>ABBYE FEELEY: FOR THE BONUS DENSITY?
02:03:05 >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES, THE NUMBERS THAT YOU CALCULATED
02:03:10 TOWARDS HOUSING.
02:03:11 >>ABBYE FEELEY: NONE OF THE BONUS HAD EXECUTED AFFORDABLE
02:03:17 HOUSING AS ONE OF THEIR BONUS AMENITIES.
02:03:19 >>ORLANDO GUDES: THE REASON WHY, DO WE KNOW, HAVE AN IDEA?
02:03:30 >>ABBYE FEELEY: THROUGH MY EXPERIENCE, IT WAS MORE THAT
02:03:34 THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO COMMIT TO KEEP THEIR PROPERTY,
02:03:37 THERE WAS NO INCENTIVE, THEY COULD FULFILL OTHER BONUS
02:03:41 AMENITIES AT FAR LESS RISK AND FAR GREATER ADVANTAGE THAN
02:03:46 BEING ABLE TO COMMIT THOSE UNITS FOR AFFORDABILITY HOUSING.
02:03:50 SO I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO WHEN WE ARE LOOKING BACK AT
02:03:53 THAT NOW IS REALLY LOOK TO INCENTIVIZE THAT, AND THIS IS ONE
02:03:57 OF OUR KEY FOCUS AREAS IN MEETING THAT CRITICAL NEED.
02:04:02 SO THAT WE COULD FORMULATE THE BONUS IN A MORE MEANINGFUL
02:04:06 WAY TO ADDRESS THAT BETTER.
02:04:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: JUST A QUESTION.
02:04:14 I DON'T NEED TO GO THERE NOW BUT JUST A QUESTION.
02:04:17 THE OVERALL PRESENTATIONS, I LOOKED AT ALL THESE NEW NAMES
02:04:22 THAT MIGHT BE CHANGED AND DEPARTMENTS AND PLANNING AND
02:04:24 GROWTH.
02:04:25 I GUESS THIS IS A QUESTION FOR CAROL POST.
02:04:27 WHEN I LOOK AT THAT WHOLE PRESENTATION, IT SPIKES UP AGAIN,
02:04:31 WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES, AND FOR
02:04:33 DEVELOPMENT TALK ABOUT HOUSING AND REAL ESTATE.
02:04:36 I THOUGHT A WHILE AGO YOU TALKED ABOUT AND I SAW HOUSING
02:04:40 DIVISION AND REAL ESTATE, BECAUSE YOU LOOK AT A LOT OF THESE
02:04:44 PLANS, BUT IT KIND OF FALSE -- I AM JUST CURIOUS HOW IN IS
02:04:50 BEING DEVELOPED.
02:04:51 BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOKED AT REAL ESTATE AND HOUSING, FIRST
02:04:54 TIME HAND IN HAND, I AM JUST WONDERING ABOUT THAT, MS. POST.
02:05:03 >>CAROLE POST: THIS IS CAROLE POST.
02:05:07 I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION.
02:05:08 WE DO HAVE FOUR -- AND YOU ARE CORRECT -- REAL ESTATE
02:05:12 SERVICES GROUP AND OUR HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT GROUP,
02:05:14 ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH
02:05:17 MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO.
02:05:21 IN FACT, THEY ARE RUNNING ON A PARALLEL PATH TO JUST TO THE
02:05:25 PRIOR POINT, TO ESTABLISH A WHOLE NEW SET OF INCENTIVES THAT
02:05:29 WILL DRIVE A BETTER ECONOMIC MODEL FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPERS TO
02:05:35 PURSUE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
02:05:41 THIS THAT IS A SOON-TO-COME AGENDA ITEM.
02:05:44 FRANKLY THERE WAS SO MUCH TO PUT TOGETHER IN THIS
02:05:46 PRESENTATION, WHICH WAS INTENDED TO ADDRESS THOSE, I THINK
02:05:49 IT'S 11 MOTIONS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH,
02:05:54 THAT I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN OVERCROWDED TO BRING IN THE
02:05:58 HOUSING AND REAL ESTATE SERVICES ASPECTS.
02:06:01 BUT THOSE ARE RUNNING PARALLEL, AND THOSE WILL BE BEFORE YOU
02:06:04 IN THE VERY SHORT FUTURE.
02:06:06 AND THEY DO INTEGRATE INTO THIS.
02:06:09 IN FACT, WE DO HAVE A -- BRING US TO FINAL CONCLUSION ON
02:06:14 THIS PRESENTATION, THERE IS A LAST SLIDE WITH THE 8
02:06:19 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT REPRESENT THE CULMINATION OF ALL OF
02:06:23 THIS CONTENT AND MATERIAL, INCLUDING THE TWO ITEMS THAT
02:06:27 ABBYE FEELEY JUST PRESENTED, AND WE THINK THAT THOSE IN
02:06:31 COMBINATION PRESENT OUR LONG-TERM PLAN TO MANAGING GROWTH AS
02:06:37 WELL AS INTEGRATING OUR GREATEST NEEDS REFLECTING THE
02:06:43 COMMUNITY'S INPUT AS WELL AS THE HOUSING AND REAL ESTATE
02:06:46 INPUT THAT YOU ARE RAISING.
02:06:49 I HOPE THAT'S IN RESPONSE TO YOUR QUESTION.
02:06:51 >>ORLANDO GUDES: A LITTLE BIT, BUT I WAS JUST HOPING AS A
02:06:56 DEPARTMENT, INTEGRAL PARTS OF SOME OF THE FEATURES.
02:07:00 I JUST THINK THAT THAT GROUP, HOUSING, HAS A LOT GOING ON.
02:07:05 I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR PLATE.
02:07:07 BUT I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE REAL ESTATE DEPARTMENT,
02:07:10 EVERYBODY IS WORKING HAND IN HAND, AND MAYBE ASSISTANCE TO
02:07:16 HOUSING, LOOKING AT THOSE DEPARTMENTS AS FAR AS HOW REAL
02:07:24 ESTATE NEEDS TO BE A WHOLE DEPARTMENT, THAT WAY A LOT OF
02:07:29 QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED VERSUS TIME WITH THIS PERSON, THAT
02:07:35 PERSON, SO I AM HOPING WHILE WE ARE STILL IN THE WORKING
02:07:39 PHASE THAT WE LOOK AT MAKING THAT HOUSING DIVISION A ROBUST
02:07:43 DEPARTMENT, MAKING THAT A ONE OF THE FOCAL POINTS FOR
02:07:48 HOUSING NEEDS.
02:07:50 THANK YOU.
02:07:50 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE?
02:07:58 REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE MORE ITEMS.
02:08:01 AND WE GO INTO OUR AFTERNOON SESSION AT 5:01 P.M.
02:08:04 >>BILL CARLSON: MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY SAY ONE FINAL THING.
02:08:10 JUST TO THE WHOLE PRESENTATION, THIS IS INCREDIBLY VALUABLE,
02:08:13 AND I THINK IT IS EXACTLY WHAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE DOING.
02:08:21 IN YEARS PAST THERE WAS A LOT OF PLANNING IN AND AROUND
02:08:25 DOWNTOWN, AND WHAT THE CITIZENS HAVE SAID, THEY WANT
02:08:28 PLANNING A ROUND THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS.
02:08:30 AND I THINK THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR'S OFFICE
02:08:34 ADMINISTRATION ARE NOW ALIGNED IN LOOKING THROUGHOUT THE
02:08:37 CITY TO DO PLANNING.
02:08:39 WE ARE NOT GOING TO GO DOWNTOWN.
02:08:40 WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE PLANNING THERE.
02:08:43 BUT WE ARE SERIOUSLY LOOKING AT THAT AS A COMMUNITY, AND
02:08:47 NEIGHBORHOODS.
02:08:48 AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK OF ALL THE FOLKS INVOLVED, IN
02:08:53 PARTICULAR RANDY AND CAROLE POST WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING
02:08:59 CLOSELY WITH ME ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT
02:09:03 ISSUE AND SOME OF THESE OTHER THINGS.
02:09:05 ALL OF IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO HOW PEOPLE EXPERIENCE OUR
02:09:09 CITY, ESPECIALLY WITH COVID.
02:09:11 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SPENDING MORE TIME AT HOME, AND THEY ARE
02:09:14 SEEING THINGS THAT THEY DIDN'T SEE BEFORE, AND I THINK
02:09:19 ALTHOUGH NOT MANY PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY WATCHING TODAY, BUT
02:09:22 THE PEOPLE WHO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS WILL BE VERY THANKFUL
02:09:25 THAT WE DID AND THEY'LL SEE THE RESULTS OF IT.
02:09:27 I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ON NEXT STEPS.
02:09:31 ANY COMMUNITY LEADERS OR NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS WHO ARE
02:09:33 WATCHING TODAY, WE ARE NOT GOING TO SOLVE -- I DON'T EVEN
02:09:35 KNOW IF WE ARE ALLOWED TO MAKE MOTIONS TODAY BUT WE ARE NOT
02:09:39 GOING TO SOLVE ALL THE ISSUES TODAY, BUT THE FIRST MAJOR
02:09:43 EFFORT IN THE CITY, CITY COUNCIL, MAYOR'S OFFICE, LOOKING
02:09:48 SERIOUSLY AT THESE ISSUES, AND TAKING YOUR THOUGHTS AND
02:09:51 CONCERNS SERIOUSLY, AND WE ARE GOING TO REALLY TRY TO
02:09:55 DEVELOP A ROBUST PLAN TO HELP MOVE OUR CITY FORWARD.
02:09:58 THANK YOU.
02:09:58 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:10:00 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIR?
02:10:06 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, COUNCILMAN GUDES.
02:10:08 >>ORLANDO GUDES: VERY QUICKLY.
02:10:10 I HAD SOMETHING BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THE OTHER DAY, A
02:10:13 COUPLE TIMES, AS A MATTER OF FACT.
02:10:15 I HEARD WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.
02:10:16 BUT I WANT MS. POST AND THE PLANNING DIVISION TO UNDERSTAND
02:10:21 AS WELL, EAST TAMPA IS IN A UNIQUE PLACE, AND WE ARE
02:10:26 FOCUSING ON THE LOWER HALF OF HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE, BUT THE
02:10:30 FOLKS TO THE NORTH, CONSIDERED EAST TAMPA, THE WHOLE EAST
02:10:38 SECTION OF THE CITY.
02:10:39 AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NORTH DOWNTOWN, WHEN YOU SAY ACROSS
02:10:43 HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE, WE HAVE CERTAIN PROGRAMS GOING ON, THEY
02:10:47 FEEL LEFT OUT BECAUSE THEY FEEL THEY ARE CONSIDERED EAST
02:10:49 TAMPA AS WELL, AND I KNOW WE DO A LOT OF WORK IN THE BOTTOM
02:10:53 HALF, BUT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT TOO.
02:10:55 BUT I JUST WANT TO LET STAFF KNOW THAT ALSO THE FOLKS ON THE
02:10:58 NORTHERN PORTION OF HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE FEEL THAT AT TIMES
02:11:02 THEY GET LEFT OUT OF A LOT OF PROGRAMS, AND EAST TAMPA AS
02:11:05 WELL, WHICH THEY ARE UP UNTIL ABOUT SLIGH AVENUE.
02:11:08 ONCE YOU GET PAST SLIGH, YOU GET INTO OUR NORTH --
02:11:17 AND I HEARD THEIR CALLS.
02:11:20 [~AUDIO DISTORTION~] THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
02:11:24 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:11:27 MS. POST, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A FEW MORE SLIDES AFTER THIS OR
02:11:30 ONE MORE SLIDE?
02:11:32 >>CAROLE POST: WE ACTUALLY JUST HAVE ONE MORE SLIDE, IF
02:11:35 SULING CAN BRING UP OUR FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS.
02:11:36 MANY OF THEM HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED BY RANDY WITHIN THE
02:11:40 PRESENTATION.
02:11:42 BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE THAT I THINK WE WOULD LIKE TO JUST
02:11:45 GET ON THE RADAR FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION.
02:11:49 AND THEN WE CAN MOVE ON.
02:11:51 GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
02:11:51 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:11:53 >>RANDY GOERS: RANDY GOERS, CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
02:11:59 THESE ARE THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE PUT FORTH.
02:12:03 ONE WE TALKED EARLIER ABOUT LOOKING AT MIXED USE PLANNED
02:12:06 CATEGORIES, RECOMMENDING UPDATES FOR THAT.
02:12:08 WE WANT TO IMPLEMENT THE VISUALIZATION TOOLS.
02:12:16 BEGIN PROCESS OF UPDATING THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
02:12:19 THIS IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT, TALKED ABOUT TODAY.
02:12:22 ABBEY TALKED ABOUT THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR AND THE BONUS
02:12:27 DENSITY PROVISION.
02:12:28 CONSIDERING THE ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS, WE WANT TO FIND A
02:12:32 BETTER SOLUTION THAN THE FORM-BASED CODE, A BETTER SOLUTION
02:12:36 THAN TELLING PEOPLE WE CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE OF RESOURCES.
02:12:38 WE WANT TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT AFFECT MORE NEIGHBORHOODS,
02:12:42 THAT HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES.
02:12:44 THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SUGGESTIONS THAT COULD BE
02:12:48 INVESTIGATED, COMING WHEREVER THINGS THAT WE HEARD, AND PUT
02:12:53 THEM DOWN THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE FUTURE.
02:12:55 ONE COULD BE INVESTIGATING THE MERITS OF PROHIBITING
02:12:58 VARIANCES OR DESIGN EXCEPTIONS IN SPECIFIED LOCATIONS.
02:13:04 THAT WOULD REALLY ALLOW PEOPLE TO STAFF PEOPLE.
02:13:09 ANOTHER ONE IS SOMETHING THAT WE HEARD THAT WE WANTED
02:13:12 REFLECTED AS A POSSIBLE SUGGESTION, IT'S CONSIDERING
02:13:16 SUSPENDING PLAN AMENDMENTS AND REZONING FOR MULTIFAMILY IN
02:13:19 THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREAS, AND IS THE COMPREHENSIVE
02:13:22 PLAN, LAND DEVELOPMENT CODES, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND LAND
02:13:26 DEVELOPMENT CODES TO BE UPDATED ACCORDINGLY.
02:13:28 THOSE ARE CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE REALLY WANTS TO BE SURE
02:13:30 THAT THEY ARE POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THINGS TO PURSUE
02:13:34 IN THE FUTURE.
02:13:35 >>CAROLE POST: THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION.
02:13:39 AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
02:13:40 WE ARE HAPPY TO TAP ANY QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK ON THOSE
02:13:42 RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THEN MOVING FORWARD WE CAN PROCEED WITH
02:13:46 AGENDA ITEM 11 WHEN YOU ARE READY.
02:13:49 THANK YOU.
02:13:49 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
02:13:52 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: QUESTION.
02:14:02 JUST PROCEDURALLY, MR. CHAIRMAN, IF YOU PUT THAT LIST BACK
02:14:08 UP.
02:14:11 I THINK AT ONE POINT THEY WANT FOR US TO -- I GUESS THE LAST
02:14:17 PAGE -- THEY WANT TO LOOK TO US TO SEE WHICH WAY WE WANT TO
02:14:22 GO, OR THAT SORT OF THING.
02:14:24 IT LOOKS LIKE SOME OF THESE ARE GOING TO BE GOING FORWARD
02:14:26 ANYWAY.
02:14:27 BUT THEN THERE'S A FEW OTHERS TOWARDS THE END OF THE LIST,
02:14:32 THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY MIGHT NEED A LITTLE MORE DIRECTION.
02:14:35 WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE THAT DISCUSSION, MR. CHAIRMAN?
02:14:37 THAT'S QUESTION NUMBER ONE.
02:14:39 QUESTION NUMBER TWO, FROM ME TO CAROLE, I THINK THAT THE
02:14:45 REVIEW OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROGRAM IS A GOOD ONE.
02:14:51 THE ONLY THING I FOUND A LITTLE DISHEARTENING IS THE FACT
02:14:54 THAT IT SAID JUST THE REVIEW AND ANALYSIS IS GOING TO TAKE
02:14:58 18 MONTHS.
02:15:00 AND I KNOW THAT TO DO THAT, IT WILL TAKE ABOUT A YEAR OR
02:15:03 MORE TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT.
02:15:05 SO WE ARE LOOKING AT FRANKLY A TWO OR THREE-YEAR PROCESS.
02:15:09 AND I KNOW I AM NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING BUT IS THERE ANY
02:15:12 WAY TO SHORTEN UP THE 18 MONTHS ANALYSIS TO BE MAYBE A YEAR?
02:15:20 >>CAROLE POST: WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT.
02:15:23 WE ARE TRYING TO KIND OF ADD OUR INITIATIVES INTO ONE THAT
02:15:27 IS EXISTING AND BEING DRIVEN ON THE TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY
02:15:30 FRONT.
02:15:31 SO I DON'T WANT TO DISRUPT THAT PLAN FOR SURE.
02:15:36 PERHAPS THERE'S A WAY TO CARVE OUT SOME OF THE THINGS WE ARE
02:15:38 LOOKING TO DON OFFLINE AND ACCELERATE THOSE.
02:15:41 WE'LL LOOK INTO IT.
02:15:42 THANK YOU.
02:15:42 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND THE LAST THING I WAS GOING TO SAY,
02:15:46 MR. CHAIRMAN, BEFORE I LOOK TO YOU FOR DIRECTION ON THESE
02:15:51 RECOMMENDATIONS, I REACHED OUT TO THE EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY,
02:15:56 IN REGARD -- MR. GOERS, YOU MENTIONED ABOUT A LOT OF THE
02:16:00 TRAFFIC FROM GANDY WILL GO UPSTAIRS ON THE TOP.
02:16:06 AND I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL PROJECT, AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
02:16:09 SUPPORTIVE OF IT IN TERMS OF THE GANDY, DOUBLE DECKING THE
02:16:18 GANDY LIKE WE ARE, BUT THE EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY INDICATES
02:16:21 THEY ARE LOOKING AT ABOUT 35% OF THE TRAFFIC TO GO OVER THE
02:16:23 TOP.
02:16:24 SO WE STILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PINELLAS TRAFFIC TO
02:16:28 AND FROM THAT'S GOING TO STAY DOWN AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
02:16:30 SO I JUST WANTED EVERYBODY TO BE AWARE OF THAT.
02:16:32 BUT MR. CHAIRMAN, WHAT DIRECTION WOULD YOU SAY WE SHOULD GO
02:16:35 IN REGARDS TO THIS DISCUSSION ON THE RECORD?
02:16:39 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WELL, IN REGARD TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS,
02:16:41 I THINK UNLESS THERE'S ANY OBJECTION, I THINK WE CAN COME
02:16:44 BACK NOVEMBER 19th WHICH IS A REGULAR CITY COUNCIL
02:16:47 SESSION, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND DIGEST THIS.
02:16:50 WE CAN REFLECT UPON THESE RECOMMENDATIONS.
02:16:54 SOME WE MAY FIND CONSENSUS MORE QUICKLY THAN OTHERS.
02:16:58 BUT IT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION.
02:17:00 WE HAVE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME TODAY, BECAUSE THERE IS STILL
02:17:03 A LOT TO PRESENT.
02:17:04 BUT I THINK THIS SHOULD COME BACK UNDER STAFF REPORTS AT THE
02:17:09 NOVEMBER 19th MEETING, WHICH GIVES A LITTLE UNDER A
02:17:12 MONTH, UNLESS MS. POST, IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE TIME.
02:17:17 BUT I THINK THAT WE PRESENTED ALL OF THIS, AND CONSIDERING
02:17:20 ALL THE VIRTUAL MEETINGS, USUALLY AT EVERY WORKSHOP, SO ALL
02:17:23 THE PUBLIC CAN BE SEE.
02:17:25 NOW THEY HEARD IT, BUT TO GIVE THE PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
02:17:28 SPEAK, PERHAPS NEXT MONTH OR LONGER, IF YOU FEEL ANY LONGER.
02:17:33 >>CAROLE POST: CHAIR, WE ARE GOOD FOR NOVEMBER 19th IF
02:17:40 THAT WORKS FOR THE COUNCIL.
02:17:40 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
02:17:44 ANY OBJECTION TO IT OR ANY COMMENTS REGARDING THAT?
02:17:47 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIR?
02:17:48 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN GUDES, YES.
02:17:50 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I'M FINE REQUEST THAT.
02:17:52 AGAIN, WOULD ASK WHEN THEY COME BACK THAT MS. POST AGAIN
02:17:57 LOOK AT THOSE TWO DEPARTMENTS, HOUSING.
02:18:03 I THINK THAT'S VERY VITAL FOR WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN THIS
02:18:06 CITY.
02:18:06 SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN COME BARK WITH SOME IDEAS ABOUT THAT,
02:18:09 THEIR IDEAS.
02:18:10 I KNOW SHE SAID THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENT AREAS HERE.
02:18:12 BUT AGAIN IT'S VERY CRUCIAL THAT THOSE DEPARTMENTS BE
02:18:15 TOGETHER.
02:18:15 I THINK THEY RUN HAND IN HAND.
02:18:18 I YIELD BACK.
02:18:18 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
02:18:20 MR. SHELBY, DO WE NEED AN OFFICIAL MOTION FOR THAT, THAT MS.
02:18:25 POST COME BACK ON NOVEMBER 19th?
02:18:27 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
02:18:28 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MR. CHAIRMAN, SO MOVED, NOVEMBER
02:18:32 19th.
02:18:33 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN
02:18:36 MIRANDA.
02:18:36 WHO WAS THE SECOND?
02:18:38 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: CITY COUNCIL MEETING DURING THE DAY.
02:18:40 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SECOND, CITRO.
02:18:42 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
02:18:43 SO IT WILL BE NOVEMBER 19, REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
02:18:45 UNDER R UNDER STAFF REPORTS FOR THE MORNING.
02:18:49 AND WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CITRO.
02:18:53 ANY OBJECTIONS?
02:18:57 >>THE CLERK: CITY CLERK'S OFFICE. CAN I HAVE A
02:18:59 CLARIFICATION OF THE MOTION, PLEASE?
02:19:01 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO MS. POST PRESENTED EIGHT
02:19:04 RECOMMENDATIONS.
02:19:06 I WOULD LIKE THAT -- IT'S FOR CLARIFICATION OF THE MOTION TO
02:19:10 BE FOR NOVEMBER 19th UNDER STAFF REPORTS, SO THAT WILL
02:19:13 GIVE A CHANCE FOR COUNCIL TO THINK ABOUT, REFLECT UPON,
02:19:16 THESE RECOMMENDATIONS AND FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK
02:19:21 ON IT, GIVE THEM TIME TO DIGEST EVERYTHING.
02:19:25 BUT IT'S BASED ON THE EIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS TO COME BACK
02:19:28 UNDER STAFF REPORTS, NOVEMBER 19th. THE MOTION WAS MADE
02:19:31 BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA WITHIN A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER
02:19:35 CITRO.
02:19:36 THAN.
02:19:39 >>THE CLERK: THANK YOU.
02:19:40 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO THE MOTION?
02:19:42 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIRMAN.
02:19:45 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN.
02:19:46 >>ORLANDO GUDES: GAUDY DON'T HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE
02:19:48 MOTION, AS LONG AS CRITERIA SET FORTH.
02:19:53 AS I SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK WITH INFORMATION
02:19:56 DETAILING HOUSING AND REAL ESTATE TO BE A PART OF THE
02:19:59 RECOMMENDATION AND SUGGESTIONS.
02:20:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MS. POST, IS THAT ALL RIGHT, MAKER OF
02:20:05 THE MOTION, COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, IS IT ALL RIGHT TO ADD THAT?
02:20:08 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: TO APPROVE THAT.
02:20:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
02:20:15 SECOND BY COUNCILMAN CITRO.
02:20:17 ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION?
02:20:19 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MARTIN SHELBY.
02:20:21 YES, THANK YOU.
02:20:23 I WANT TO MAKE THAT -- NOT NECESSARILY A SEPARATE PART OF
02:20:26 THE MOTION, BUT IT'S PART OF THE DISCUSSION, BUT I THINK
02:20:30 WHEN THE CLERK DOES LIST THE EIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS, OR THIS
02:20:35 CHART IS HERE, TO PUT THAT AS A SEPARATE MATTER OF
02:20:39 DISCUSSION SO THAT IT DOESN'T IN SOME FORM OR FASHION BE
02:20:44 CONCEIVED TO BE A RECOMMENDATION, PART OF THE EIGHT.
02:20:49 THAT'S WHY I AM ASKING THAT QUESTION.
02:20:50 >> CHAIRMAN MANISCALCO?
02:20:58 IT'S CAROLE POST.
02:21:00 JUST A BRIEF SUGGESTION.
02:21:02 WE VERY MUCH SUPPORT THE MOTION WITH RESPECT TO THE EIGHT
02:21:06 RECOMMENDATIONS AND BRINGING THAT BACK FOR FURTHER
02:21:10 DELIBERATION.
02:21:11 AND WITH RESPECT TO COUNCILMAN GUDES' REQUEST FOR MORE
02:21:14 INFORMATION ABOUT THE JOINDER OF REAL ESTATE SERVICES AND
02:21:17 HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE HAPPY TO REPORT
02:21:20 BACK ON THAT UNDER STAFF REPORTS AT THE NOVEMBER 19th
02:21:25 MEETING AS WELL, WITHOUT THERE NECESSARILY BE A MOTION.
02:21:29 I WOULD AGREE NOT TO CONFLATE IT WITH THE EIGHT
02:21:32 RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
02:21:35 IF THERE IS A SEPARATE MOTION OWN THAT POINT, THESE FINE.
02:21:38 BUT I AM HAPPY TO AND WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE TO DELIVER ON
02:21:41 THAT, EVEN IF THERE IS NOT A SPECIFIC MOTION FOR IT.
02:21:44 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DOES THAT WORK FOR EVERYONE?
02:21:49 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M SATISFIED WITH THAT.
02:21:53 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
02:21:55 CAN WE HAVE A MOTION?
02:21:56 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I MAKE THE MOTION.
02:22:02 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER CITRO.
02:22:04 ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION?
02:22:06 IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS MOTION?
02:22:10 HEARING NONE, BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT, AND NO OBJECTION, THE
02:22:12 MOTION IS MADE FOR NOVEMBER 19th UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
02:22:15 MR. SHELBY, DO WE NEED A SEPARATE MOTION FOR WHAT COUNCIL
02:22:19 MEMBER GUDES REQUESTED, OR THE DOES IT WORK WITH CAROLE
02:22:26 POST?
02:22:26 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT'S AT THE PLEASURE OF THE CITY
02:22:28 COUNCILMAN GUDES.
02:22:29 >>ORLANDO GUDES: SHE WENT ON RECORD SO WHAT SHE WILL DO.
02:22:36 MUCH SHE WILL BRING IT BACK.
02:22:37 THAT'S FINE.
02:22:38 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE GO TO ITEM NUMBER 11.
02:22:41 THEN ITEM 13.
02:22:45 WHO WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN WITH ITEM NUMBER 11?
02:22:50 REGARDING AMPLIFIED SOUND.
02:22:53 >>LACHONE DOCK: GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL.
02:22:56 LACHONE DOCK WITH DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT.
02:22:59 CAN YOU HEAR ME GOOD?
02:23:00 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, WE CAN.
02:23:02 GO AHEAD.
02:23:02 >>LACHONE DOCK: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
02:23:04 AND THIS IS ITEM NUMBER 11.
02:23:06 AND THIS IS A DISCUSSION REGARDING HOURS OF OPERATION,
02:23:11 AMPLIFIED OUTDOOR SOUND AND DISTANCE SEPARATION.
02:23:14 AND COUNCIL, I WOULD LIKE TO JUST ANNOUNCE THE PUBLIC
02:23:20 MEETING TODAY, I AM HERE WITH SENIOR ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY
02:23:27 MIKE SCHMID, OF THE CITY ATTORNEY, AND SAVINO, ASSISTANT
02:23:35 CITY ATTORNEY.
02:23:35 NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
02:23:38 WHAT I WANTED TO DISCUSS WAS A MOTION DULY MADE, WAS A
02:23:44 REQUEST FOR STAFF TO COME BACK AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS
02:23:48 IN CHAPTER 14 REGARDING THE HOURS OF OPERATION, AND TO HAVE
02:23:53 A DISCUSSION REGARDING DISTANCE SEPARATION, AS WELL AS THE
02:23:58 AMPLIFIED OUTDOOR SOUND OF THE
02:24:05 SO TODAY IS TO DISCUSS THE HOURS OF OPERATION FIRST.
02:24:14 [~AUDIO DISTORTION~]
02:24:22 IN DISCUSSING THE HOURS OF OPERATION, WHAT WE DID IS WE
02:24:25 WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CURRENT CODE AS IT EXISTS
02:24:28 TODAY.
02:24:28 SO CURRENTLY IN CHAPTER 14, THE HOURS OF OPERATION ARE FOUND
02:24:32 IN SECTION 14-150.1.
02:24:36 AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS TABLE THAT THE HOURS OF OPERATION
02:24:40 ARE ACTUALLY LISTED BY THE HOURS IN WHICH ALCOHOLIC
02:24:45 BEVERAGES CAN BE SOLD, IN ADDITION TO THE HOURS WHERE
02:24:50 BUSINESSES ARE ALLOWED TO BE OPEN.
02:24:52 YOU MAY OR MAY NOT RECALL IN 2016 THIS WAS RECENTLY AMENDED.
02:24:57 THIS SECTION OF THE CODE REGARDING THE HOURS.
02:25:00 PREVIOUSLY IT ONLY LISTED THE HOURS THAT ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
02:25:04 COULD BE SOLD.
02:25:05 SO THERE WAS A CONCERN FROM RESTAURANTS, OWNERS, THAT THEY
02:25:10 WANTED TO BE OPEN ON SUNDAYS EARLY TO BE ABLE TO SERVE
02:25:13 BREAKFAST PRAYER TO THE TIME THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO SELL,
02:25:18 AND THAT'S WHEN IF CODE WAS AMENDED.
02:25:20 THE HOURS THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BE OPEN FOR BUSINESS WAS ADDED
02:25:23 TO THIS SECTION OF THE CODE.
02:25:28 SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE ON THIS, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE HOURS FOR
02:25:32 THE TYPE OF ESTABLISHMENT.
02:25:33 YOU HAVE THE HOTEL AND MOTEL.
02:25:35 YOUR RETAIL STORES.
02:25:36 AND RETAIL GOODS AND SHOPPERS GOODS.
02:25:39 THOSE ARE ALLOWED TO BE OPEN FOR BUSINESS 24/7 HOURS A DAY,
02:25:42 SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
02:25:43 THE RESTAURANTS ARE ALLOWED TO OPEN AT 7 A.M. EVERY DAY OF
02:25:48 THE WEEK TILL 3 A.M.
02:25:51 ALL OTHER TYPES OF ESTABLISHMENTS, THIS WOULD INCLUDE YOUR
02:25:54 BAR/LOUNGES, LARGE AND SMALL VENUE, THOSE ARE ALLOWED TO
02:25:58 OPEN AT 7 A.M. EACH DAY, MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, AND
02:26:01 CLOSING AT 3 A.M., AND ON SUNDAY, THEY ARE ALLOWED TO OPEN
02:26:06 AT 11 A.M., AND THEY WOULD CLOSE AT 3 A.M.
02:26:11 NOW, FOR ALL OF THOSE CATEGORIES, THE HOURS IN WHICH
02:26:14 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES CAN BE SOLD IS 7 A.M. TO 3 A.M. MONDAY
02:26:20 THROUGH SATURDAY, AND ON SUNDAY STARTING AT 11 A.M. TO 3
02:26:25 A.M.
02:26:26 SO THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS COUNCIL JUST TO MENTION.
02:26:30 THE CONSIDERATION OF AMENDING THE HOURS, WE SHOULD LOOK AT
02:26:32 WHAT IS APPROVED, AND THE CURRENT HOURS THAT EXIST FOR
02:26:36 LOCATION, AND ALSO IN REVIEWING THE TRANSCRIPT FROM THE
02:26:42 ORIGINAL HEARING WITH THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL MOTION, STAFF
02:26:47 FELT THE REQUEST WAS GEARED TOWARDS RESTAURANT AND
02:26:50 BAR/LOUNGE USES.
02:26:52 SO WE HOPE DURING THIS DISCUSSION TODAY WE CAN HONE IN AND
02:26:57 GET BETTER DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL AS TO THE TYPE OF USES
02:27:01 THEY ARE LOOKING TO REDUCE THE HOURS ON.
02:27:03 BUT WE BASE THIS ON RESTAURANTS AND BAR/LOUNGE USES.
02:27:08 THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:27:11 SO WHAT WE DID IS WE DISCUSSED A SAMPLING OF THE LOCATIONS
02:27:17 WITHIN THE CITY.
02:27:19 WE TOOK IT BY AREA.
02:27:22 SO THERE ARE AT LEAST EIGHT LOCATIONS THAT ARE LISTED HERE.
02:27:26 AND THIS IS JUST A SNAPSHOT OF WHAT'S LISTED ON THE HOURS OF
02:27:29 OPERATION, WHAT'S LISTED, IN THE CHARTS ARE THE WEEKDAY
02:27:34 CLOSING TIMES, THE WEEKEND CLOSING TIMES, AND THEN WE ALSO
02:27:37 PROVIDED THE SUNDAY CLOSING TIMES, IF THEY WERE DIFFERENT
02:27:40 FROM THE WEEKEND TIMES.
02:27:44 AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS SAMPLING THAT THE WEEKEND CLOSING
02:27:47 TIMES, YOU HAVE.
02:27:50 SOME THAT ARE CLOSING PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT AT 11 AND MIDNIGHT.
02:27:54 AND THEN OFF FEW THAT ARE CLOSING AFTER MIDNIGHT.
02:27:57 ONE, TWO, AND THREE A.M.
02:28:00 ONE THING TO NOTE IS THIS IS A LIST THAT WAS TAKEN ONLINE.
02:28:04 SO WE BASICALLY WENT ONLINE, PULLED THE DATA OF WHAT WAS
02:28:07 LISTED.
02:28:08 SO WE ARE AWARE, WE JUST WANT TO MENTION FOR THE PUBLIC THAT
02:28:13 WE ARE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF
02:28:15 COVID, AND THESE HOURS AS LISTED, JUST MAY BE ADJUSTED
02:28:20 BECAUSE OF COVID.
02:28:21 IT MAY NOT BE THE ACTUAL OPERATING HOURS, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE
02:28:25 HAVE PRESENTED HERE.
02:28:28 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:28:33 WE ARE LOOKING AT WHAT WAS CURRENTLY APPROVED.
02:28:35 WE ARE ALSO TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE NUMBER OF
02:28:37 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMITS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED.
02:28:40 SO THERE'S A TOTAL OF 1,454 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES
02:28:45 PERMITTED FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA.
02:28:49 AND THIS IS IN EXCLUSIVE OF ALL CATEGORIES, FOR ALCOHOL
02:28:53 SALES.
02:28:55 THIS CHART IDENTIFIES SPECIFIC CATEGORIES WHERE YOU COULD
02:28:59 HAVE A RESTAURANT OR BAR LOUNGE.
02:29:03 AND THAT'S WHAT'S LISTED HERE.
02:29:04 YOU CAN SEE THE HIGHEST ONE IS THE RESTAURANT CATEGORY AT
02:29:10 458.
02:29:11 PERMITS ISSUED.
02:29:12 AND THE NEXT IN LINE ARE THE 4 COPs AT 253 PERMITS ISSUED.
02:29:20 SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS CHART, YOU HAVE THE NEWER
02:29:24 CLASSIFICATIONS FROM 2010 FORWARD FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
02:29:28 SALES DESIGNATION.
02:29:29 WHAT WE ALSO MUST CONSIDER ARE THE OLDER APPROVALS WHICH ARE
02:29:33 UNDER THE PRIOR WET ZONE DESIGNATION.
02:29:35 SO ONE C.O.P., 2(COP) AND R ALONG WITH THE 4(COP).
02:29:43 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:29:44 THIS IS A MAP SHOWING THAT BREAKDOWN OF THE RESTAURANT
02:29:47 NUMBER ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.
02:29:48 YOU SAW THERE REQUEST 458 APPROVALS.
02:29:52 THIS SHOWS THROUGHOUT THE CITY WHERE THESE ARE LOCATED, JUST
02:29:56 TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE PROXIMITY.
02:29:58 YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF THEM ARE LOCATED ALONG A LOT OF THE
02:30:01 MAJOR COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS.
02:30:04 WITH THIS ALSO YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE'S A BREAKOUT, WHEN
02:30:07 YOU TALK ABOUT THE RESTAURANT DESIGNATION, IT ALSO PROVIDES
02:30:12 YOU THE NUMBER OF DESIGNATIONS THAT HAVE THE R DESIGNATION.
02:30:17 WE HAVE 305 LOCATIONS.
02:30:19 WE HAVE 15 LOCATIONS THAT ARE RESTAURANT AND THEN WE HAVE
02:30:22 SPECIAL RESTAURANTS AND WE HAVE 137 LOCATIONS.
02:30:38 THIS MOTION WAS MADE PRIOR TO COVID.
02:30:40 BUT WE ARE ASKING JUST TO CONSIDER THAT THE EXISTING NUMBER
02:30:43 OF LOCATIONS WITH PREVIOUSLY APPROVED CLOSING TIMES, AND
02:30:50 WITH REDUCED HOURS BEING PUT INTO EFFECT, AND WOULD CREATE
02:30:53 AN INCONSISTENCY FOR ESTABLISHMENTS.
02:30:56 YOU COULD HAVE ONE ESTABLISHMENT THAT HAS ONE CLOSING TIME
02:30:59 AND NEW ESTABLISHMENTS THAT ARE UNDER A NEW CRITERIA.
02:31:03 ANOTHER ITEM TO CONSIDER IS THAT NEW LOCATIONS UNDER
02:31:06 MODIFIED CLOSING TIMES WERE NOT NECESSARILY ADDRESSED ANY
02:31:10 ISSUES THAT MADE THIS CURRENTLY WITH ESTABLISHMENTS THAT MAY
02:31:13 NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE.
02:31:18 ALSO, THERE IS AN EXISTING ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS THAT WE
02:31:21 HAVE IN PLACE FOR RESTAURANTS.
02:31:23 IF THE IDEA IS REDUCED CLOSING TIME FOR RESTAURANTS, WE HAVE
02:31:27 A SPECIAL RESTAURANT DESIGNATION WHICH IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE
02:31:30 APPROVAL, SO THESE ARE ONES THAT COUNCIL WOULD NOT SEE.
02:31:34 IT WAS ACTUALLY PUT INTO PLACE TO INCENTIVIZE, TO PROVIDE
02:31:38 THAT INCENTIVE TO AN OWNER TO APPLY FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE
02:31:43 REVIEW, GET THROUGH THE PROCESS QUICKER, AND HAVE AN EARLIER
02:31:47 CLOSING TIME.
02:31:49 FOR THEIR BUSINESS OPERATION.
02:31:52 ANOTHER THING IS ALSO THE HARDSHIP WHICH MAKES THIS CURRENT
02:31:59 LOCATION DUE TO THE COVID CRISIS.
02:32:03 WE ARE ASKING THAT IF COUNCIL DESIRES TO AMEND THE CODE TO
02:32:07 MODIFY THE CLOSING TIMES.
02:32:10 STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED THAT WE HOLD A SERIES OF PUBLIC
02:32:13 WORKSHOPS WITH THE PUBLIC, BUSINESS OPERATORS AND PROPERTY
02:32:19 OWNERS, JUST TO -- SO THEY CAN PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON ANY
02:32:22 PROPOSED CHANGES.
02:32:24 NEXT SLIDE.
02:32:29 PLEASE.
02:32:30 SO THAT WAS THE HOURS OF OPERATION.
02:32:32 WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO TOUCH UPON NOW IS THE DISTANCE
02:32:34 SEPARATION.
02:32:37 AND JUST REVIEW THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS IN THE CODE
02:32:41 REGARDING DISTANCE SEPARATION.
02:32:44 THIS IS ONE WHERE AT THE END OF OUR DISCUSSION, WE CAN -- AT
02:32:48 THE END OF THIS PRESENTATION, WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION AND
02:32:51 GET FURTHER DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL AS TO WHERE WE WOULD GO
02:32:54 WITH THE DISTANCE SEPARATION.
02:32:58 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:32:59 CURRENTLY, IN CHAPTER 27, THERE ARE TWO AREAS FOR PROVIDING
02:33:09 DISTANCE SEPARATION.
02:33:13 BACK A SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:33:15 SO THERE IS ONE AREA WHERE WE ARE LOOKING AT THE DISTANCE
02:33:19 SEPARATION.
02:33:21 YOU HAVE AREAS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE DISTANCE
02:33:23 SEPARATION AND AREAS THAT ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE
02:33:28 DISTANCE SEPARATION.
02:33:30 SO ALL OF THE SPECIAL USE 1 APPLICATIONS WITHIN THE OP 1
02:33:34 ZONING DISTRICT, WITH THE FOLLOWING AB DESIGNATION, WHICH
02:33:38 ARE BAR LOUNGE, SHOPPERS GOODS AND RESTAURANTS.
02:33:41 THEY ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE DISTANCE SEPARATION.
02:33:45 ALL SPECIAL USE 2 APPLICATIONS WHICH ARE RESTAURANT, BAR
02:33:50 LOUNGE, SMALL AND LARGE VENUES, ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE
02:33:52 DISTANCE SEPARATION, BUT BAR LOUNGE MUST PROVIDE A
02:33:56 1,000-FOOT SEPARATION FROM RESIDENTIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL AND
02:33:59 OTHER AB ESTABLISHMENTS.
02:34:03 THE AREAS --
02:34:07 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE NEXT SLIDE -- ARE YOU ON THE RIGHT
02:34:10 SLIDE, MS. DOCK?
02:34:11 THAT ONE?
02:34:12 >>LACHONE DOCK: DOWN ONE.
02:34:16 DOWN ONE.
02:34:18 DOWN ONE.
02:34:19 >>MARTIN SHELBY: FORWARD OR BACKWARD?
02:34:23 >>LACHONE DOCK: THAT'S GOOD.
02:34:29 IT CAN STAY THEREBY ON THAT.
02:34:31 THANK YOU.
02:34:34 THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE DISTANCE SEPARATION ARE THE
02:34:36 SPECIAL USE 1 APPLICATIONS WHICH ARE FOR THE HOTEL, THE
02:34:39 BOWLING ALLEY, AND THE SHOPPERS GOODS, SPECIAL RESTAURANT
02:34:42 AND BAR LOUNGE.
02:34:43 THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE DISTANCE SEPARATION.
02:34:47 THE SPECIAL USE 1 APPLICATIONS WITHIN THE OP 1 ZONING
02:34:50 DISTRICT HAVE THE FOLLOWING DISTANCE SEPARATION, AND THAT'S
02:34:56 250 FEET FROM SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES, PLACES OF
02:34:59 RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY, AND FROM SCHOOLS.
02:35:03 FOR THE SPECIAL USE 2 APPLICATIONS, THEY HAVE THE FOLLOWING
02:35:06 DISTANCE SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS.
02:35:08 AND THEY ARE BASED UPON THEIR AREA.
02:35:10 SO WITHIN THE BUSINESS CENTER, WESTSHORE AND USF, 250 FEET
02:35:15 REQUIRED FROM RESIDENTIAL USES.
02:35:17 WITHIN URBAN VILLAGES, 250 FEET FROM OTHER AB
02:35:21 ESTABLISHMENTS.
02:35:23 AND ALONG MIXED USE CORRIDOR VILLAGES, 250 FEET FROM
02:35:27 RESIDENTIAL AND OTHER AB SALES ESTABLISHMENTS.
02:35:31 ALL OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY, IT'S 1,000 FEET.
02:35:34 AND THAT'S 1,000 FEET FROM RESIDENTIAL USES, INSTITUTIONAL
02:35:37 USING, AND OTHER AB SALES ESTABLISHMENTS.
02:35:42 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:35:43 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIRMAN, MAY I ASK A QUESTION BEFORE
02:35:45 SHE MOVES ON?
02:35:50 WE HEARD EARLIER A LOT OF CITIZENS CALLED IN IN REFERENCE TO
02:35:55 RESTAURANTS TURNING INTO BARS.
02:36:01 I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANYTHING IN OUR CODE IN REFERENCE TO
02:36:04 THAT, HAVING BARS INSIDE THESE RESIDENTIAL HIGH-RISE
02:36:11 APARTMENTS, DO WE?
02:36:12 >>LACHONE DOCK: CORRECT.
02:36:15 WELL, WE HAVE THE DISTANCE SEPARATION FROM RESIDENTIAL AND
02:36:18 WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN WE HAVE A LOCATION THAT HAS, SAY, A
02:36:22 GROUND FLOOR COMMERCIAL, AND THEY HAVE RESIDENTS ABOVE, THEN
02:36:25 THEY HAVE THE REQUEST DISTANCE SEPARATION AND THEY WILL
02:36:29 REDUCE TO THE ZERO, THROUGH THE WAIVER.
02:36:31 >>ORLANDO GUDES: SO THEY HAVE TO ASK FOR THE WAIVER?
02:36:37 >>LACHONE DOCK: CORRECT.
02:36:39 BECAUSE --
02:36:43 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
02:36:44 >>LACHONE DOCK: YES.
02:36:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
02:36:51 >>MARTIN SHELBY: I'M SORRY, MR. CHAIRMAN.
02:36:53 THE QUESTION FOR THE PURPOSES OF PUBLIC AND ALSO COUNCIL,
02:36:55 REFRESH THEIR RECOLLECTION, IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
02:36:57 THE SPECIAL USE 1 AND SPECIAL USE 2 SO THAT THE PUBLIC KNOWS
02:37:01 THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO?
02:37:03 I THINK AGAIN WITHIN THE URBAN VILLAGES, YOU SAID THAT THERE
02:37:06 IS NO DISTANCE SEPARATION.
02:37:08 WITH REGARD TO RESIDENCES.
02:37:10 BUT THERE IS OTHER ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
02:37:13 >>LACHONE DOCK: YES.
02:37:14 SO THE SPECIAL USE 1 APPLICATION IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE
02:37:16 REVIEW.
02:37:17 SO IT IS DONE STRICTLY ADMINISTRATIVELY.
02:37:20 IT WOULD NOT GO BEFORE COUNCIL.
02:37:21 THERE'S NO PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.
02:37:24 ABOUT A 30-DAY TIME FRAME FOR PROCESSING.
02:37:26 A SPECIAL USE 2 IS A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS.
02:37:30 IT REQUIRES CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL.
02:37:34 AND WITH THE SPECIAL USE 2, THE DISTANCE SEPARATIONS ARE
02:37:39 BROKEN OUT BY AREA AND WITHIN THE URBAN VILLAGES.
02:37:42 THEY ARE REQUIRED 250 FEET, BUT ONLY FROM OTHER AB
02:37:46 ESTABLISHMENTS.
02:37:47 >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU.
02:37:50 >>LACHONE DOCK: YOU'RE WELCOME.
02:37:53 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. CHAIR, IF I MAY.
02:37:54 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, COUNCILMAN CITRO.
02:37:57 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:37:59 MS. DOCK, ALL THE VARIANCES THAT ALL THE EXISTING ALCOHOL
02:38:05 BEVERAGES -- ALCOHOL SALES IN THIS CITY, WITH THIS
02:38:11 SEPARATION REQUIREMENT, HOW MANY WOULD BE CONFORMING?
02:38:16 THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, WAIVERS HAVE BEEN GRANTED FOR DISTANCE
02:38:19 SEPARATION, AND IN MY ESTIMATE, MAYBE HALF OF THE ALCOHOL
02:38:23 SALES IN THIS CITY WOULD BE NONCONFORMING.
02:38:26 >>LACHONE DOCK: I ACTUALLY HAVE THAT DATA ON THE NEXT
02:38:33 SLIDE.
02:38:38 IF WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:38:42 SO THIS IS THE DISTANCE SEPARATION WAIVERS THAT ARE BEING
02:38:46 GRANTED.
02:38:47 THIS IS THE DATA FROM 2015 THROUGH 2019.
02:38:51 AND SO WHAT IS PROVIDED, AS YOU WILL SEE IS INSTITUTIONAL
02:38:55 USES, ARE THE AREAS IN BLUE.
02:38:57 THE BARS IN ORANGE ARE THE RESIDENTIAL USES.
02:39:01 AND THE OTHER AB ESTABLISHMENTS ARE IN GRAY.
02:39:04 SO THOSE ARE THE THREE DISTANCE SEPARATION WAIVERS THAT
02:39:08 COULD BE GRANTED.
02:39:10 THE AREAS, THE BARS THAT ARE YELLOW ARE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF
02:39:13 CASES.
02:39:14 SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE YELLOW NUMBERS, THAT'S THE TOTAL
02:39:16 NUMBER, SOME SORT OF WAIVER HAS BEEN GRANTED.
02:39:20 SO IN 2015, THERE WAS A TOTAL OF 21 THAT WERE GRANTED, IN
02:39:25 2016 THERE WERE 30, 2017 A TOTAL OF 25, BUT WITHIN THOSE
02:39:31 WAIVERS, THESE ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES THAT WERE GRANTED.
02:39:38 AND ONCE IF WAIVERS ARE GRANTED, COUNCILMAN, JUST TO YOUR
02:39:41 POINT, IT IS CONFORMING.
02:39:43 IF THE APPLICANT REQUESTS A WAIVER AS A PART OF THEIR
02:39:46 APPROVAL, THROUGH THAT SPECIAL USE 2 PROCESS, AND THAT
02:39:50 WAIVER, AND THE SITE PLAN HAS BEEN APPROVED, THEN THEY ARE
02:39:55 CONFORMING.
02:39:58 AND THEN THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:40:02 THIS IS THE SAME DATA THAT IS SHOWN. THIS IS JUST GIVING
02:40:07 YOU THE PERCENTAGES REGARDING EACH CATEGORY FOR DISTANCE
02:40:10 SEPARATION.
02:40:13 THIS IS FROM 2015 THROUGH 2019.
02:40:16 SO THE AREAS IN BLUE ARE THE INSTITUTIONAL USES.
02:40:19 THE AREAS IN ORANGE ARE THE RESIDENTIAL USES.
02:40:23 AND THEN THE AREAS IN GRAY ARE THE OTHER AB ESTABLISHMENTS.
02:40:28 SO THIS ISSUE, GIVES YOU THE PERCENTAGES BY YEAR OF HOW HOE
02:40:34 H THEY NEED SEPARATION AND GRANTED BY CITY COUNCIL.
02:40:40 AND NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:40:43 SO THAT CONCLUDES THE DATA FOR THE DISTANCE SEPARATION.
02:40:46 WHAT I AM GOING TO DO NOW IS GET READY TO HAND IT OVER TO
02:40:49 MIKE SCHMID TO DISCUSS THE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND.
02:40:56 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: QUESTION FOR MS. DOCK.
02:41:02 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
02:41:03 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
02:41:06 THIS, GOING BACK TO WHAT MR. SHELBY WAS ASKING, ON THE SU-1,
02:41:16 NO PUBLIC PROCESS, JUST A REPORT.
02:41:20 HOWEVER, THEY CAN COME IN -- CAN'T COME IN FOR AN SU-1
02:41:25 UNLESS THEY MEET CRITERIA, IS THAT CORRECT?
02:41:28 >>LACHONE DOCK: THAT'S CORRECT COUNCILMAN.
02:41:30 CORRECT.
02:41:30 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SO WHAT IS THE DISTANCE CRITERIA?
02:41:33 WHAT IS THE DISTANCE CRITERIA FOR SU 19?
02:41:39 >>LACHONE DOCK: 250 FEET FROM SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL,
02:41:43 PLACES OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY AND SCHOOLS, AND THE OP 1.
02:41:46 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALSO -- [~AUDIO DISTORTION~]
02:41:56 >>LACHONE DOCK: I'M SORRY, I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE
02:41:58 QUESTION.
02:41:58 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AM I GARAGING?
02:42:04 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOU ARE GOOD.
02:42:05 GO AHEAD, SIR.
02:42:05 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT'S 250 FEET FROM ONE ESTABLISHMENT TO
02:42:09 ANOTHER ON THIS ONE?
02:42:13 >>LACHONE DOCK: NO, ON THE SU-1 IS THE SINGLE-FAMILY
02:42:15 RESIDENTIAL.
02:42:16 IT DOES NOT INCLUDE OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS, OTHER AB
02:42:19 ESTABLISHMENTS.
02:42:19 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND MY NEXT QUESTION GOES BACK TO HOURS
02:42:24 OF OPERATION.
02:42:26 >>LACHONE DOCK: YES.
02:42:29 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND WHEN THESE DO COME IN, NEW
02:42:38 APPLICATIONS IS 3 A.M.
02:42:40 CORRECT?
02:42:43 >>LACHONE DOCK: CORRECT.
02:42:48 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I THINK THAT BECOMES PROBLEMATIC.
02:42:54 THE RECOMMENDATIONS, MAYBE THAT'S ON NOVEMBER 19th.
02:42:58 I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO TAKE A STRONG LOOK AT THAT
02:43:01 POSITION.
02:43:03 [~AUDIO CUTS OUT~] AND LEGAL CAN CLIMB IN HERE BUT I THINK
02:43:05 THE DEFAULT POSITION SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE AROUND -- ON
02:43:10 WEEKDAYS AND 11 P.M. ON WEEKEND.
02:43:13 AND THAT SHOULD BE THE DEFAULT POSITION.
02:43:17 THEN IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO COME IN AND JUSTIFY WHY THEY
02:43:20 SHOULD EXPAND THAT, THEN THAT WOULD BE THE EXCEPTION THAT
02:43:23 THEY WOULD ASK FOR.
02:43:24 SO THAT'S SORT OF MORE OF A STATEMENT THAN A QUESTION.
02:43:28 BUT I THINK LOOKING AT CHANGES, WE SHOULD LOOK TO THAT.
02:43:35 THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE, LACHONE, ON THE URBAN, YOU
02:43:38 MENTIONED THE OP 1.
02:43:40 WHAT IS THE OP?
02:43:43 >>LACHONE DOCK: OFFICE PROFESSIONAL DISTRICT.
02:43:44 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
02:43:52 (SIREN)
02:43:54 IT REPRESENTS A HUGE AMOUNT OF THE CITY.
02:43:58 SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINES [~AUDIO CUTS OUT~] DISTANCE
02:44:04 SEPARATION OF 50 FEET FOR THE SU-2?
02:44:07 >>LACHONE DOCK: YES.
02:44:14 I CAN'T SAY THE EXACT TIME THAT IT WAS BROUGHT.
02:44:17 I WOULD HAVE TO RESEARCH TO SEE WHEN IT WAS.
02:44:21 AND THAT'S FOR THE VILLAGES OR BUSINESS CENTERS IS WHEN IT
02:44:26 REQUIRES A 250 FEET.
02:44:30 OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY ARE 1,000.
02:44:31 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: RIGHT.
02:44:33 BUT URBAN VILLAGE INCLUDES EAST TAMPA, WEST TAMPA, HUGE --
02:44:39 RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT NOW FOR SOME REASON WE DROP
02:44:44 THE REQUIREMENT TO RESIDENTIAL.
02:44:46 AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT HAPPENED.
02:44:47 MS. FEELEY, DO YOU REMEMBER QUESTION THAT HAPPENED?
02:44:54 >>ABBYE FEELEY: COULD YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION, PLEASE, MR.
02:44:56 DINGFELDER?
02:44:57 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IN THE URBAN VILLAGES, THERE IS NO LONG
02:45:01 AREA REQUIREMENT FOR 250 FEET SEPARATION FOR RESIDENTIAL.
02:45:06 BACK IN THE DAY THERE, USED TO BE A REQUIREMENT, THEN THIS
02:45:09 URBAN VILLAGE CAME IN, AND -- [~AUDIO CUTS OUT~]
02:45:17 >>ABBYE FEELEY: I BELIEVE IT'S WHEN WE CHANGED THE
02:45:20 ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE FROM WET ZONING TO SPECIAL USES, BACK IN
02:45:27 2008?
02:45:28 2009?
02:45:30 I BELIEVE THAT'S WHEN WE MODIFIED THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
02:45:35 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY.
02:45:39 ALL RIGHT.
02:45:39 THANK YOU.
02:45:40 WE'LL ADDRESS THEM ON NOVEMBER 19th.
02:45:44 THANK YOU.
02:45:45 >>LACHONE DOCK: JUST AS A POINT OF CLARIFICATION FOR THE
02:45:53 HOURS OF OPERATION THAT ARE DEFAULT, IF THE HOURS ARE NOT
02:45:57 SPECIFIED, THEN THEY WOULD DEFAULT, AND IT WOULD FALL TO
02:46:02 CHAPTER 14.
02:46:03 SO APPLICANTS CAN SPECIFY THEIR HOURS OF OPERATION, AND THEY
02:46:07 CAN PUT THAT ON THE SITE PLAN FOR APPROVAL.
02:46:10 IT ISN'T ALWAYS AT 3 A.M.
02:46:13 JUST TO CLARIFY.
02:46:14 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I UNDERSTAND.
02:46:18 MOST OF THE TIME, BY THE TIME THEY GET TO COUNCIL, WE OFTEN
02:46:21 SEE THE DEFAULT WAS 3 A.M. AND THEN WE HAVE TO ARGUE OUR WAY
02:46:26 BACK TO SOMETHING MORE REASONABLE.
02:46:28 SO, FRANKLY, THIS COUNCILMAN'S OPINION IS THE DEFAULT SHOULD
02:46:33 BE EARLIER, AND LET THEM ARGUE THEIR WAY OUT.
02:46:40 IT'S MY OPINION.
02:46:40 THANK YOU.
02:46:41 >>LACHONE DOCK: SURE THING.
02:46:43 OKAY, THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:46:48 SO THIS IS REGARDING THE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND.
02:46:58 BEFORE THIS DISCUSSION WE WANTED TO DISCUSS THE OUTDOOR
02:47:02 AMPLIFIED SOUND AND WHERE THAT APPLIES IN CHAPTER 27.
02:47:05 SO IT IS UNDER THE SPECIAL USE CRITERIA FOR ALCOHOLIC
02:47:08 BEVERAGE SALES.
02:47:10 YOU WILL SEE ON THIS CHART FOR BORE LOUNGE AND NIGHTCLUB
02:47:14 ONLY IN THE CBD FOR THE SPECIAL USE 1.
02:47:17 NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND IS ALLOWED AFTER 1 A.M.
02:47:21 BAR LOUNGE AND NIGHTCLUB IN THE OFFICE PROFESSIONAL, THE
02:47:24 OFFICE PROFESSIONAL 1 AND THE WESTSHORE OVERLAY DISTRICT, NO
02:47:28 OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND AFTER 1 A.M.
02:47:32 A SPECIAL RESTAURANT, THERE'S NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND
02:47:35 PERMITTED AFTER 11 P.M.
02:47:37 THE SPECIAL USE 2 FOR BAR LOUNGE AND NIGHTCLUB, IT'S NOT
02:47:44 PERMITTED UNLESS YOU ARE IN A LARGE-SCALE COMMERCIAL
02:47:47 DEVELOPMENT OF 500,000 SQUARE FEET OR MORE.
02:47:55 AND FOR SPECIAL RESTAURANT, IT'S NOT SPECIAL USE 2
02:47:57 DESIGNATION AT ALL SO IT'S NOT APPLICABLE.
02:48:00 ALSO JUST TO MENTION, SIDEWALK CAFES, THEY ARE NOT PERMITTED
02:48:03 TO HAVE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED MUSIC.
02:48:09 SIDEWALK CAFES ARE ANNUAL PERMITS GRANTED AND IT'S FOR THE
02:48:12 OUTDOOR AREA, WHICH ONCE APPROVED, IT COULD ALLOW YOU TO
02:48:17 EXTEND YOUR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES TOTS OUTDOOR AREA OF
02:48:20 YOUR ESTABLISHMENT.
02:48:23 FOR THE SIDEWALK CAFES THEY ARE NOT PERMITTED TO HAVE THE
02:48:27 OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND.
02:48:30 AND THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:48:34 AND I AM GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MIKE SCHMID AT THIS POINT
02:48:37 TO REVIEW WITH YOU REGARDING THE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND.
02:48:41 >>MICHAEL SCHMID: GOOD AFTERNOON, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY.
02:48:48 I WILL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND ABOUT CHAPTER 14,
02:48:50 ARTICLE 3, NOISE.
02:48:53 IN 2006, THE NOISE ORDINANCE WAS REVISED TO ENFORCE BY
02:48:57 DECIBEL LEVEL.
02:48:58 THIS WAS DONE SO THAT ENFORCEMENT OF ALL CITY OF TAMPA WAS
02:49:05 ENFORCING NOISE THROUGH DECIBEL LEVELS USING DECIBEL METERS.
02:49:09 THIS WAS DONE IN CONJUNCTION REQUEST EPC, ENVIRONMENTAL
02:49:14 PROTECTION COMMISSION, AGENCY WITH HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
02:49:16 THEY ALSO ENFORCE NOISE IN THE COUNTY AS WELL AS IN THE
02:49:19 CITY.
02:49:20 IN 2013, THE CITY AGAIN LOOKED AT THE NOISE ORDINANCE,
02:49:26 EXCESSIVE NOISE FROM MOTT OAR VEHICLES WAS EXPRESSLY
02:49:29 PROHIBITED.
02:49:31 IN ADDITION THE ORDINANCE WAS AMENDED ON EXCESSIVE NOISE TO
02:49:35 CREATE A PRIME A FACIA EVIDENCE WHEN PLAINLY AUDIBLE AFTER
02:49:39 10 P.M. IN CERTAIN AREAS OF TOWN.
02:49:42 THOSE AREAS WERE THE PARTS OF TOWN OTHER THAN CENTRAL
02:49:45 BUSINESS DISTRICTS, YBOR AND CHANNEL DISTRICT.
02:49:48 THOSE THREE DISTRICTS WERE STILL TO BE ENFORCED USING THE
02:49:54 DECIBEL LEVEL METER READING.
02:50:01 THESE AREAS STILL TODAY REMAIN -- I'M SORRY.
02:50:03 AT THE TIME THOSE THREE AREAS WERE 85 DBA BETWEEN 6 P.M. AND
02:50:08 3 A.M.
02:50:10 IN 2014, COUNCIL AGAIN WANTED TO REVISIT NOISE, BUT THERE
02:50:16 WAS A LAWSUIT PENDING, AND BASED ON THAT, THE ITEM WAS HELD
02:50:20 UNTIL 2016.
02:50:22 IN 2016, CITY COUNCIL DID REVISIT NOISE, AFTER NUMEROUS
02:50:29 WORKSHOPS, THE NOISE ORDINANCE WAS AMENDED IN 2016.
02:50:35 THEY REMOVED DECIBEL ENFORCEMENT IN ALL AREAS EXCEPT YBOR,
02:50:40 CENTRAL BUSINESS AND CHANNEL DISTRICT.
02:50:43 IT MADE PUNISHMENT AS A CIVIL CITATION OF $150.
02:50:48 IT REQUIRED A FIVE-MINUTE WARNING, WHICH LASTED FOR 48
02:50:53 HOURS.
02:50:55 IN 2016 AS WELL, THERE WAS PRETTY MUCH AN ENTIRE HE REWRITE
02:51:05 OF THE EXCESSIVE NOISE ORDINANCE.
02:51:07 2018 CAME ALONG, AND THERE HAD BEEN SOME COMPLAINTS WITH
02:51:11 REGARDS TO RESIDENTIAL UNITS DOWNTOWN, AND CITY COUNCIL
02:51:17 LOOKED AT THE ORDINANCE AGAIN IN 2018, DECIDED THAT THE
02:51:21 CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT WAS GOING TO BE MOVED INTO 14-154
02:51:27 FOR ENFORCEMENT, WHICH IS ALLOWING FOR THE PLAINLY AUDIBLE
02:51:31 STANDARD TO BE ENFORCED RATHER THAN JUST BY DECIBEL.
02:51:35 SO DOWNTOWN WAS REMOVED FROM DECIBEL LEVELS, AND NOW AS OF
02:51:41 2018, THE ONLY PLACES WITH DECIBEL LEVEL MEASUREMENT WOULD
02:51:46 BE THE ARENA DISTRICT, YBOR, AND CHANNEL DISTRICT.
02:51:54 I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD?
02:51:55 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IT'S STUCK ON ONE SLIDE.
02:52:00 >>MICHAEL SCHMID: I'M SORRY.
02:52:04 WE ONLY PUT IN THE DEFINITIONS.
02:52:06 WE DIDN'T DETAIL ALL THE HISTORY OF THIS.
02:52:08 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WEREN'T
02:52:13 MISSING IT.
02:52:15 >>MICHAEL SCHMID: YES, SIR.
02:52:17 SO AS OF 2018, THAT WAS THE LAST TIME CITY COUNCIL AMENDED
02:52:21 THE ORDINANCE.
02:52:22 AND WHERE WE CURRENTLY STAND, AS I SAID, IS, JUST TO BE
02:52:27 CLEAR, THE ARENA DISTRICT, YBOR AND THE CHANNEL DISTRICTS
02:52:30 ARE THE THREE AREAS THAT NOISE IS ENFORCED BY DECIBEL
02:52:33 LEVELS.
02:52:34 IT REQUIRES AN 85-DECIBEL LEVEL AFTER 3 A.M. TO CREATE A
02:52:43 VIOLATION.
02:52:43 IT REQUIRES A 5-MINUTE WARNING FOR THOSE AREAS.
02:52:47 AND THAT WARNING WILL LAST FOR 48 HOURS.
02:52:50 AND THE REST OF THE CITY OF TAMPA, THERE ARE THREE WAYS TO
02:52:53 PROVE A VIOLATION, AND IT'S NOT DONE BY DECIBEL LEVELS.
02:52:58 AND THOSE THREE QUAYS INCLUDE AN ALL-TIME, ONE OF THE WAYS
02:53:04 TO BASICALLY THINK OF LIKE THREE ELEVATORS.
02:53:07 THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET TO THE TOP TO PROVE A
02:53:10 VIOLATION.
02:53:10 ONE WAY IS THAT AT ALL TIMES YOU CAN -- IF AN OFFICER IS
02:53:14 CALLED OUT, AND THE PERSON AGREES TO BE SEEN, THE OFFICER
02:53:19 CAN GO INSIDE THE RESIDENCE AND SEE IF THE NOISE IS PLAINLY
02:53:23 AUDIBLE WITHIN THE RESIDENCE.
02:53:24 THEY CAN HEAR IT OR THEY CAN FEEL THE VIBRATIONS AND
02:53:28 THUMPING.
02:53:28 THAT WOULD BE ONE WAY TO PROVE A VIOLATION.
02:53:32 ANOTHER WAY IS IF THE PERSON COMPLETES AN AFFIDAVIT AND
02:53:37 SUBMITS THE AFFIDAVIT AND IT MEETS ALL SORTS OF CERTAIN
02:53:40 FACTORS THAT ARE PROVIDED.
02:53:44 AND THE THIRD WAY IS THERE IS A PRIMA FACIA A EVIDENCE THAT
02:53:47 THE NOISE IS UNREASONABLY EXCESSIVE.
02:53:49 IF YOU CAN PLAINLY AUDIBLY HEAR IT FROM 100 FEET OR MORE
02:53:53 AFTER 10 P.M.
02:53:56 THERE HAVE BEEN EVENTS TO HELP TRAIN THE OFFICERS ON ALL
02:54:03 THESE THINGS.
02:54:04 AND THAT'S BASICALLY WHERE WE ARE WITH CHAPTER 14.
02:54:10 AND I WILL TURN IT BACK OVER TO LACHONE TO TALK ABOUT
02:54:15 COMPARISON OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS.
02:54:18 >>LACHONE DOCK: NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:54:25 WHAT WE DID IS WE TOOK A LOOK AT OTHER JURISDICTIONS, JUST
02:54:29 TO SEE HOW THEY HANDLED ACTUALLY OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND,
02:54:35 WHETHER IT'S THROUGH DEFINITION, HOW THEY ARE ENFORCING IT.
02:54:39 WHAT WE DID IS WE TOOK A LOOK AT ST. PETE, AND SOME
02:54:44 JURISDICTIONS, THEY DEFINE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND IN OTHER
02:54:49 JURISDICTIONS USE DIFFERENT PHRASES, DIFFERENT KIND OF
02:54:54 SOUNDS.
02:54:55 SO ST. PETE, THEY USE LOUD AND RAUCOUS.
02:54:59 THE HOURS, THEY ARE NOT PERMITTED TO HAVE THE SOUND AFTER 11
02:55:05 P.M.
02:55:06 SO THEY HAVE BETWEEN 11 P.M. AND 8 A.M. THEY ARE NOT
02:55:10 PERMITTED.
02:55:11 FOR SARASOTA, THEY DON'T HAVE THE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND
02:55:16 DEFINED IN THE CODE.
02:55:18 BUT THEY DO HAVE PERMITTED HOURS FOR THESE AREAS, WHICH ARE
02:55:24 THE BEACH AND POOL FROM MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 9 A.M. TO
02:55:27 8 P.M., AND SUNDAY 12 P.M. TO 8 P.M.
02:55:30 THEN ORLANDO, THEY DO DEFINE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUNDS.
02:55:37 WE COULDN'T FIND THE HOURS PERMITTED, WERE NOT READILY
02:55:40 AVAILABLE ONLINE.
02:55:42 JACKSONVILLE, THEY DO NOT DEFINE IT.
02:55:47 SAME THING, THE HOURS WERE NOT SPECIFIED.
02:55:49 AND FT. LAUDERDALE, THEY DO DEFINE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND.
02:55:53 AND IT IS NOT PERMITTED AFTER 11 P.M.
02:56:00 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
02:56:05 COUNCIL, THAT CONCLUDES THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE
02:56:08 REGARDING THOSE THREE, THE HOURS OF OPERATION, THE DISTANCE
02:56:13 SEPARATION, AND THE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND.
02:56:19 AND WE CERTAINLY WANT TO OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION AT THIS
02:56:22 POINT AND DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL.
02:56:23 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
02:56:28 >>JOSEPH CITRO: MR. CHAIR, IF I MAY.
02:56:30 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER.
02:56:31 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MS. DOCK, MR. SCHMID.
02:56:37 THESE HEARINGS THAT I SPENT SITTING IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS
02:56:40 BEFORE I WAS ELECTED, THE PRIOR COUNCIL HAD MADE MANY, MANY
02:56:44 COMMENTS, ESPECIALLY COUNCILWOMAN YOLIE CAPIN ON AMPLIFIED
02:56:51 MUSIC.
02:56:54 WOULD IT BE EASIER IN THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE JUST TO HAVE NO
02:56:58 OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED MUSIC TO BE THE STANDARD IN OUR DECODES?
02:57:04 UNLESS THE APPLICANT ASKS FOR A WAIVER OR EXCEPTION, AND IF
02:57:09 REQUESTED, JUST JUSTIFY BE GRANTED BECAUSE THAT'S NOT IF WAY
02:57:14 IT IS NOW.
02:57:15 AS WE ARE SEEING MORE AND MORE AB SALES GOING INTO
02:57:18 RESIDENTIAL AREAS, WE ARE HAVING THE RESIDENTS COMPLAINING
02:57:21 THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR AMPLIFIED MUSIC AFTER A CERTAIN
02:57:26 PERIOD OF TIME.
02:57:27 IF I AM IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I AM TRYING TO GET TO SLEEP
02:57:31 AT NIGHT AT 11:00 AT NIGHT AND THE AB SALES RIGHT NEXT TO ME
02:57:35 IS PLAYING MUSIC UNTIL 1:00 IN THE MORNING, THEN THAT'S KIND
02:57:39 OF VIOLATING MY TIME.
02:57:42 CAN WE CHANGE THE CODE, WOULD YOU RECOMMEND TO CHANGE THE
02:57:46 CODE, TO HAVE NO AMPLIFIED MUSIC AT ALL, AND IF A WAIVER IS
02:57:50 REQUESTED BY THE PETITIONER, THEN CITY COUNCIL CAN TAKE A
02:57:53 LOOK AT IT.
02:57:53 >>LACHONE DOCK: COUNCILMAN, WE CAN CERTAINLY TAKE A LOOK AT
02:58:00 THAT.
02:58:01 WE CAN AMEND CHAPTER 27, AND WE WOULD HAVE TO AMEND THE
02:58:05 CONDITIONS THAT STATE FOR CERTAIN USES, BECAUSE WE DO NOW
02:58:09 SPECIFY THE AB SALES BY THE USE, AND WE WOULD HAVE TO MAKE
02:58:14 THAT A STANDARD THAT NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND IS ALLOWED,
02:58:18 AND IF THEY WANTED IT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME TO COUNCIL
02:58:21 AND HAVE IT GRANTED THROUGH THE WAIVER.
02:58:22 >>JOSEPH CITRO: I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE THAT.
02:58:25 IT SEEMS THAT EVERY TIME THAT THERE IS A PETITION FOR A NEW
02:58:28 ALCOHOL SALES, ONE OF US ON COUNCIL ALWAYS SAYS, IS THERE
02:58:35 GOING TO BE AMPLIFIED MUSIC, OR WOULD YOU COMMIT TO NOT
02:58:38 HAVING AMPLIFIED MUSIC?
02:58:39 I JUST FEEL IT WOULD BE BETTER THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
02:58:43 THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR.
02:58:43 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:58:45 >>LACHONE DOCK: ALSO, IF I MAY, ONE THING THAT WE HAVE
02:58:51 NOTICED IN THE RESEARCH, AND WE KNOW THROUGH CODE, WE DO NOT
02:58:55 HAVE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND DEFINED IN THE CODE.
02:58:59 ONE THING THAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS COME BACK TO COUNCIL
02:59:01 ALONG WITH ANY OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE MADE TODAY
02:59:04 WITH THAT LANGUAGE SO THAT WE CAN GET THAT CLEARLY DEFINED.
02:59:09 AT HEARINGS, AS APPLICANTS COME BEFORE COUNCIL, THIS IS
02:59:12 ALWAYS AN ITEM OF DISCUSSION, AND THERE IS ALWAYS A
02:59:15 DISCUSSION AS TO WHAT IS ACTUAL AMPLIFIED SOUND.
02:59:19 SO WE FEEL IF IT IS DEFINED THAT FURTHER CLARIFIES IT, AND
02:59:25 WE CAN ADD THAT TO THE CODE.
02:59:26 >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:59:30 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIRMAN?
02:59:32 >>CAROLE POST: THIS IS CAROLE POST.
02:59:36 I JUST WANT TO RESPOND QUICKLY.
02:59:38 I APPRECIATE THE COUNCILMAN'S SUGGESTIONS.
02:59:40 WE CERTAINLY CAN TAKE ALL OF THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.
02:59:43 AND I WANT IT TO BE AMENABLE FOR US TO PROVIDE SOME OPTIONS
02:59:48 THAT WE WOULD FAVOR -- WE RESPECT THAT THERE ARE CURRENTLY
02:59:53 SOME, HOW WOULD I SAY, EGREGIOUS SITUATIONS THAT ARE
02:59:58 OCCURRING OUT THERE, BUT THERE ARE MANY, MANY, MANY VERY
03:00:02 ACCEPTABLE SCENARIOS.
03:00:03 SO I THINK WE WANTS TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT SWINGING THE
03:00:06 PENDULUM TOO FAR BACK IN THE CONTROL PERSPECTIVE.
03:00:10 AND IF YOU WOULD BE AMENABLE WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO BRING BACK
03:00:13 SOME OPTIONS THAT MAY INCLUDE WHAT YOU SUGGESTED, BUT SOME
03:00:16 ALTERNATIVES AS WELL TO CONSIDER.
03:00:18 THANK YOU.
03:00:18 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
03:00:21 COUNCILMAN GUDES.
03:00:22 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I RIGHT QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED, BUT
03:00:28 AGAIN I GO BACK TO I HAVE BEEN DOWN TO CHANNELSIDE.
03:00:33 I HAVE SEEN TAMPA OLD CLUB ASIA.
03:00:36 I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT AMPLIFIED SOUND IS OUTDOOR, OR IF WE
03:00:41 ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SOUND IS INDOORS THAT IS SO EGREGIOUS
03:00:44 THAT IT IS RATTLING THE BUILDING WITHIN.
03:00:48 SO ARE YOU SURE WE HAVE NO KIND OF CODE THAT'S REFERENCED TO
03:00:52 THAT.
03:00:56 BUT I THINK GRANTED THERE IN THESE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, I
03:01:04 THINK WE MAY HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT AS QUELL.
03:01:06 WOULD YOU AGREE?
03:01:08 >> YES, COUNCILMAN.
03:01:12 WE HAVE IN CHAPTER 27, WE HAVE THE OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND,
03:01:17 WHICH ARE THE CONDITIONS ALONG WITH THE SPECIAL USES.
03:01:20 BUT WE ALSO HAVE DEFINED IN THE CODE PLAINLY AUDIBLE SOUND.
03:01:25 AND SOMETIMES THAT COULD COME INTO PLAY WHEN YOU ARE TALKING
03:01:29 ABOUT A LOCATION, AND THERE'S NOISE THAT'S EXCESSIVE, AND
03:01:32 IT'S INSIDE.
03:01:35 THAT'S WHERE THAT PLAINLY AUDIBLE DEFINITION, THAT'S WHERE
03:01:44 [~AUDIO DISTORTION~] IN THAT.
03:01:45 >> JUST TO RESPOND.
03:01:50 THE LOCATION, THE ESTABLISHMENTS THAT WE RECEIVE SO MANY
03:01:53 COMPLAINTS ABOUT, AND DURING THIS MORNING'S PUBLIC COMMENT,
03:01:56 IT HAS AN EXTERIOR LOCATION, WHICH IS PRIMARILY THAN THE
03:02:01 SOURCE OF THE COMPLAINTS, THE MUSIC IS VERY LOUD THERE.
03:02:08 AGAIN THAT SITUATION FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
03:02:12 IN THE WAY THEY HAVE BEEN CONDUCTING THEMSELVES, BUT REFLECT
03:02:18 THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY ESTABLISHMENTS THAT DO MAINTAIN
03:02:22 OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED [~AUDIO CUTS OUT~] SO WE WOULD LIKE TO
03:02:28 STRIKE A BALANCE TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN THOSE THAT
03:02:31 ARE MEETING EXPECTATIONS AND ACCOUNT FOR THOSE THAT ARE
03:02:34 EGREGIOUSLY NOT MEETING EXPECTATIONS.
03:02:37 THANK YOU.
03:02:37 >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION IN THE SENSE
03:02:43 THAT SINCE WE ARE DISCUSSING, THAT MY MOTION, SINCE YOU GUYS
03:02:52 ARE GOING TO COMB BACK WITH SOME SUGGESTIONS.
03:02:57 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
03:02:59 COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
03:02:59 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
03:03:02 I AM LOOKING AT THIS AT A WADER SCOPE.
03:03:05 HERE IS WHAT I THINK.
03:03:06 WHEN YOU HAVE AN EMPTY LOT, AND YOU ARE THE OWNER, AND
03:03:09 SOMEONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR SOME OTHER PART OF TOWN OR
03:03:12 SOME OTHER CITY DUMPS SOMETHING THERE, WHO DO WE HOLD
03:03:16 RESPONSIBLE?
03:03:17 THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
03:03:19 QUESTION YOU HAVE A HOUSE OAR VACANT LOUISIANA LAND,
03:03:23 SOMEBODY DUMPS SOMETHING IN THE VACANT LAND NEXT TO YOUR
03:03:26 HOUSE, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
03:03:27 THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
03:03:29 AND I KNOW IT'S A DIFFERENT THEME.
03:03:31 WHEN YOU HAVE RENTAL PROPERTY AND YOUR TENANTS IS DOING
03:03:37 SOMETHING THAT IS A THREAT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY DON'T
03:03:40 GO AFTER THE TENANT.
03:03:42 THEY GO AFTER WHO?
03:03:43 THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
03:03:44 NOW WE HAVE AN ALCOHOL BEVERAGE PROBLEM THAT THE OWNER OF
03:03:47 THE PROPERTY IS NEVER CITED.
03:03:50 SO THEY SEE THAT THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS CRATE ADD LONG
03:03:56 WITH BEING HOVER IS RENTING THAT RESTAURANT OR NIGHTCLUB OR
03:03:59 WHATEVER, SO THAT OWNER KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON, HE OR HER?
03:04:03 ALSO ALLUDED TO THE FACTS THAT THEY MIGHT BE IN VIOLATION
03:04:06 AND MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CITY?
03:04:07 I THINK THAT WOULD ADD A LOT MORE TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS.
03:04:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY RESPONSE TO COUNCILMAN MIRANDA?
03:04:27 ARE YOU STILL ON?
03:04:28 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES.
03:04:28 I'M LISTENING.
03:04:29 I THOUGHT EVERYBODY WENT MUTE.
03:04:31 I THOUGHT I WENT DEAF.
03:04:33 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
03:04:43 ANYBODY ELSE?
03:04:44 YES, GO AHEAD?
03:04:44 >>LACHONE DOCK: WE CAN CERTAINLY TAKE A LOOK INTO THE
03:04:49 LOCATION.
03:04:50 ARE YOU ASKING ABOUT ENFORCEMENT IN GENERAL, COUNCILMAN
03:04:52 MIRANDA?
03:04:52 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'M SORRY?
03:05:02 >>LACHONE DOCK: I'M SORRY.
03:05:03 WERE -- COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, WERE YOU ASKING ABOUT
03:05:05 ENFORCEMENT IN GENERAL?
03:05:07 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES, ENFORCE MENT IN GENERAL.
03:05:09 I LOOK AT OTHER AREAS, AND I KNOW IT'S NOT WET ZONING BUT WE
03:05:13 GO AFTER, IF IT'S PART OF THE OWNER, WHOEVER OWNS THE LAND.
03:05:19 IN THIS CASE, THESE CASES, A NIGHT CLUB, WE TELL WHOEVER IS
03:05:26 RENTING THE NIGHTCLUB OR THE RESTAURANT, THEY HAVE TO
03:05:29 CONFORM WITH THE LAWS.
03:05:31 BUT DO WE HAVE ONE FOR THE OWNER WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
03:05:36 HAVING THAT TENANT AND SAY, HEY, YOU VIOLATED THE LAW?
03:05:39 >>LACHONE DOCK: YES, COUNCILMAN, WE ACTUALLY SEND OUT
03:05:42 NOTIFICATIONS TO THE PROPERTY OWNER, TO THE BUSINESS
03:05:45 OPERATOR, AND FOR THE ALCOHOL LICENSE HOLDER.
03:05:49 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: BUT THAN THE HOLDER, IS THE THAT
03:05:55 NECESSARILY THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING?
03:06:01 DOES THE CITY HAVE A RESPONSE IN THE PROBLEM TO YOUR
03:06:05 KNOWLEDGE?
03:06:06 >>LACHONE DOCK: IT HAS IN THE PAST WHEN WE NOTIFY ALL, AND
03:06:11 WHEN WE MENTION ALCOHOL BEVERAGE LICENSE WITH THE STATE, IT
03:06:14 GETS A REACTION QUICKLY.
03:06:15 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I UNDERSTAND.
03:06:17 I APPRECIATE IT.
03:06:19 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:06:19 >>LACHONE DOCK: YOU'RE WELCOME.
03:06:23 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
03:06:30 I HEARD CARLSON?
03:06:32 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND DINGFELDER.
03:06:32 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
03:06:36 >>BILL CARLSON: WHAT A COUPLE OF OTHER FOLKS SAID, I REALLY
03:06:42 LIKE THE IDEA THAT YOLIE PROPOSED A FEW YEARS AGO WHERE THE
03:06:50 ENTITLEMENT WOULD BE UNTIL MIDNIGHT AND THEN AFTER THAT IT
03:06:53 WOULD BE UNDER A BUSINESS LICENSE OR SOME OTHER CATEGORY
03:06:58 THAT COULD BE TAKEN AWAY IF SOMEBODY WAS A BAD ACTOR.
03:07:02 AND THIS IS NOT JUST TO ALCOHOL IN GENERAL.
03:07:05 BUT I WISH WE COULD BRING THAT BACK AND LOOK AT IT IN
03:07:07 ANOTHER WAY BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE ONCE THESE ARE IN THE
03:07:12 ENTITLEMENTS, THEN WE HAVE VERY LITTLE ABILITY TO CHANGE
03:07:16 THAT.
03:07:16 AND ALSO THESE COMPLAINTS STRETCH CODE ENFORCEMENT.
03:07:20 I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A WAY TO HAVE HARSHER PENALTIES IN
03:07:26 CASE SOMEBODY IS A BAD ACTOR.
03:07:28 AND IT SEEMS THAT MOST FOLKS ARE TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT
03:07:32 THING, BUT THERE ARE SOME FOLKS WHO JUST COMPLETELY IGNORE
03:07:35 THE RULES, AND WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT THAT.
03:07:38 THANK YOU.
03:07:38 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MR. CHAIRMAN, ONE LAST THING.
03:07:43 I THINK THE ENTITLEMENT THAT MS. CAPIN MENTIONED, I THINK
03:07:50 THAT'S ST. PETE.
03:07:51 I'M NOT SURE.
03:07:52 WHERE YOU CAN HAVE MIDNIGHT BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME
03:07:55 ENTITLEMENTS, SOME GIVE AND TAKE.
03:07:56 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
03:08:03 ANYBODY ELSE?
03:08:03 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DINGFELDER.
03:08:06 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD.
03:08:08 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WASN'T SURE IF MY MIKE WAS WORKING.
03:08:12 CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY?
03:08:13 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, WE CAN.
03:08:15 GO AHEAD.
03:08:15 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU.
03:08:16 TWO THINGS.
03:08:18 ONE, MR. CITRO, I THINK I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY.
03:08:23 I THINK THE DEFAULT POSITION ON THE WET ZONING, AS YOU AND I
03:08:29 HAVE NOTICED OWN MANY LATE EVENINGS, I THINK THE DEFAULT
03:08:33 POSITION, JUST LIKE THE HOURS, SHOULD BE REDUCED.
03:08:36 BUT I THINK THE DEFAULT POSITION ON NOISE AND ESPECIALLY ON
03:08:39 OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED NOISE SHOULD BE BACKED UP TO NO AMPLIFIED
03:08:44 NOISE, AND THAT IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO ASK FOR THAT AS A
03:08:48 WAIVER, THEN IF THEY CAN, THEY CAN JUSTIFY IT.
03:08:52 AGAIN, IT SHOULD BE IN THE NEGATIVE AND TO MS. POST'S
03:08:59 COMMENT, THAT WOULD NOT IMPACT PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAVE
03:09:01 EXISTING LICENSEES, BECAUSE THIS WOULD ONLY IMPACT FUTURE
03:09:06 LICENSES.
03:09:08 IN REGARD TO THIS PARK AND REC THING, I AM GOING TO
03:09:12 REINFORCE THAT COUNCILMAN GUDES COMMENT.
03:09:15 WE HAD AT LEAST TEN LETTERS, PROBABLY MORE THAN TEN VERBAL
03:09:20 COMMENTS, SENT TO US TODAY ON THIS PARK AND REC SITUATION,
03:09:24 WHICH IS CHANNELSIDE.
03:09:27 I HADN'T HEARD ABOUT IT PRIOR TO THIS WEEK.
03:09:29 MAYBE AN ISSUE THAT'S BEEN BREWING BUT I WASN'T AWARE OF IT
03:09:33 AND I APOLOGIZE.
03:09:34 BUT THIS IS A BAD SITUATION.
03:09:36 WE HAVE PEOPLE, THERE'S BEEN REPORTS OF URINATION AND
03:09:41 DEFECATION, AND OBVIOUSLY BAD NOISE, AND TOO MUCH PARTYING,
03:09:46 AND HORN BLASTING, LATE INTO THE EVENING, AND IT'S GOTTEN
03:09:49 TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL.
03:09:51 SO IN A VERY, J VERY GENERAL WAY, I AM GOING TO ASK THAT
03:09:55 CITY STAFF, WITH ALL OF THE TOOLS AT THEIR SIDE, TAKE ON
03:10:02 THIS ISSUE AND TAKE ON THIS BUSINESS, AND AT A MINIMUM TO
03:10:11 ENFORCE, OR PERHAPS MEDIATE SOME REASONABLE ACTIVITY.
03:10:17 AND IF WE CAN'T MEDIATE IT, THEN LET'S LITIGATE IT.
03:10:21 BUT ANYWAY, AS A STARTER, MY MOTION IS TO ASK LEGAL AND
03:10:25 STAFF TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE ENTIRE SITUATION, USE ALL THE
03:10:29 TOOLS THAT THEY HAVE, WHETHER OR NOT IT'S THE CURRENT WET
03:10:32 ZONING LICENSE, THE NOISE CODE, PUBLIC NUISANCE CODES,
03:10:37 WHATEVER IS AVAILABLE, AND COME BACK TO US NEXT MEETING, OUR
03:10:41 NEXT REGULAR MEETING, WHICH IS, WHAT, THE BEGINNING OF
03:10:43 NOVEMBER?
03:10:45 AND UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
03:10:48 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NOVEMBER 5th?
03:10:52 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, SIR.
03:10:54 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
03:10:59 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES, WITH A VERBAL REPORT.
03:11:01 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WELL, IT WILL BE HYBRID BY THEN.
03:11:08 BUT WE'LL HAVE A LIVE PERSON.
03:11:12 WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER FOR NOVEMBER
03:11:14 5th UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
03:11:15 DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
03:11:16 >>JOSEPH CITRO: SECOND.
03:11:17 CITRO.
03:11:18 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CITRO.
03:11:20 ANY OBJECTION?
03:11:20 >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CHAIRMAN?
03:11:23 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR.
03:11:24 >>ORLANDO GUDES: JUST TO LET MR. DINGFELDER KNOW, I

03:12:05 MADE.
03:12:07 THERE WAS A MOTION REGARDING -- FOR STAFF TO COME BACK TO
03:12:13 COUNCIL WITH OPTIONS REGARDING NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND.

03:12:22 >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M SORRY.

03:12:29 REGARD TO --

03:12:32 >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MR. CHAIRMAN?
03:12:37 I BELIEVE THE CONVERSATION -- AND I AM NOT SURE IF IT'S PART
03:12:42 OF THIS.
03:12:42 I THINK YOLIE CAPIN REFERRED TO THE ST. PETE ORDINANCE,
03:12:47 AFTER 12, AND AFTER THAT YOU WANT ANY DISTANCE, YOU HAVE TO
03:12:52 HAVE A GIVE AND TAKE.
03:12:57 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY.
03:13:04 >>LACHONE DOCK: THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

03:13:18 I WILL ASK THE CLERK WHETHER ANY SPECIFIC MOTION IS MADE
03:13:21 WITH REGARD TO THESE.

03:13:31 BACK TO ST. PETE AT 12:00 AND YOU HAVE GIVE AND TAKE WITH
03:13:35 THAT GOVERNMENT.
03:13:36 >>MARTIN SHELBY: UNDERSTOOD.
03:13:38 AND I ALSO RECALL DISCUSSION BETWEEN COUNCILMAN CITRO AND
03:13:41 COUNCILMAN CARLSON WITH REGARD TO -- I DON'T RECALL IF IT
03:13:45 WAS COUNCILMAN CARLSON, I BELIEVE IT WAS -- WITH REGARDS TO
03:13:48 THE DEFAULT BEING NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND.
03:13:51 AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO DISCUSSION UNDER THE PRESENT
03:13:54 ADMINISTRATION TO COME BACK WITH A DEFINITION, AND I GUESS
03:13:57 THEY PLAN ON DOING THAT ANYWAY, BUT THAT ALSO WAS DISCUSSED
03:14:00 BUT THERE WAS NO MOTIONS ON THE FLOOR.
03:14:01 I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHETHER STAFF WANTS SPECIFIC MOTIONS,
03:14:05 OR IF IT'S GENERAL CONSENSUS WITH COMING BACK ON ANOTHER

03:14:36 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CHAIRMAN, JUST A CLARIFICATION.

03:15:02 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IS THERE A MOTION, MR. CHAIRMAN?
03:15:05 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR

03:15:42 >>LACHONE DOCK: THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
03:15:46 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT.
03:15:48 >>LACHONE DOCK: THAT'S IT FOR THIS REPORT.
03:15:53 THANK YOU.
03:15:53 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY WE GO TO OUR LAST ITEM, ITEM
03:15:57 NUMBER 13.
03:16:00 ITEM NUMBER 13.
03:16:01 >> KAY HENDERSON FROM HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
03:16:09 DIVISION.
03:16:09 I AM GOING TO GO OVER THE EVICTION PREVENTION PROGRAM AND
03:16:13 SOME OF THE WORK THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING SINCE THE PANDEMIC
03:16:17 STARTED.
03:16:17 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:16:21 RECENTLY, CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL HAS ISSUED A TEMPORARY
03:16:24 HALT TO RESIDENTIAL EVICTIONS FOR NONPAYMENT THAT WILL GO
03:16:28 THROUGH THE END OF THIS YEAR.
03:16:30 SO BASICALLY THAT WILL PROTECT TENANTS FROM ANY LANDLORD,
03:16:34 OWNER OR PROPERTY MANAGER FROM EVICTING THE COVERED PERSON
03:16:39 FOR NONPAYMENT OF RENT, AND THIS HAS BEEN A NATIONWIDE
03:16:42 EVICTION MORATORIUM.
03:16:43 WHILE THE FLORIDA GOVERNOR HAS RECENTLY LIFTED THE
03:16:46 MORATORIUM LIFT AFFECTING OUR CITY, THE CDC MORATORIUM WILL
03:16:53 SUPERSEDE THE GOVERNOR'S BUT WILL GIVE SON ADDITIONAL
03:16:57 PROTECTION UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR.
03:16:59 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:17:02 UNLIKE SOME OF THE OTHER MORATORIUMS THAT WERE ISSUED, THE
03:17:07 LIFT IS NOT GOING TO BE AUTOMATICALLY GRANTED FOR TENANTS.
03:17:09 THEY DO HAVE TO NOTIFY THEIR LANDLORD BY SUBMITTING A
03:17:13 DECLARATION FORM.
03:17:13 SO THE TENANT, ANYONE IN 245 PROPERTY, THEY DO HAVE TO
03:17:19 PROVIDE A COMPLETED AND SIGNED COPY OF THE DECLARATION TO
03:17:21 THE OWNER WHERE THEY LIVE OR WHOEVER HAS THE RIGHT TO EVICT
03:17:25 THEM OR REMOVE THEM FROM WHERE THEY ARE, AND THAT HAS TO BE
03:17:29 TRANSMITTED EITHER ELECTRONICALLY OR BY HARD COPY.
03:17:32 SO IT'S NOT AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
03:17:34 GRANTED IT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN ISSUED.
03:17:36 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:17:40 FOR THE NEXT TWO SLIDES, WE ARE JUST GOING TO GO OVER WHO IS
03:17:43 ELIGIBLE TO COMPLETE THE DECLARATION FORM.
03:17:46 IT IS ON THE FORM ITSELF.
03:17:47 BUT BECAUSE THE FORM IS BEING QUITE SMALL AND ILLEGIBLE, WE
03:17:51 JUST PUT THE BULLET POINTS HERE.
03:17:53 THE INDIVIDUAL HAS TO HAVE USED BEST EFFORTS TO OBTAIN ALL
03:17:58 AVAILABLE GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE FOR RENT FOR HOUSING DURING
03:18:01 THE PANDEMIC.
03:18:02 THEY EXPECT TO EARN NO MORE THAN 99,000 INCOME AND NO INCOME
03:18:07 FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 2020 OR NO MORE THAN 198,000.
03:18:11 THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO REPORT ANY INCOME IN 2019 AND THAT
03:18:14 COULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE THEY WERE ON FIXED INCOME OR LACK OF
03:18:18 INCOME.
03:18:21 THEY RECEIVED ECONOMIC IMPACT FOR THE STIMULUS CHECK THAT
03:18:28 WAS ISSUED.
03:18:29 THEN THE OTHER BULLET POINTS, WE'LL SHOW THE OTHER REASONS,
03:18:31 INDIVIDUAL UNABLE TO PAY THE FULL RENTS OR MAKE A FULL
03:18:34 HOUSING PAYMENT THROUGH SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF THEIR INCOME.
03:18:37 THE INDIVIDUAL USED BEST EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MADE
03:18:40 TIMELY PARTIAL PAYMENTS THAT ARE AS CLOSE TO FULL PAYMENT AS
03:18:43 THEY COULD BASED ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
03:18:47 AND IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE LIFT, THE EVICTION WOULD LIKELY
03:18:50 RENDER THEM TO BECOME HOMELESS FOR EITHER THE INDIVIDUAL OR
03:18:55 THE FAMILY.
03:18:55 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:18:57 SO THIS IS THE ACTUAL FORM.
03:18:59 WE HAVE ALSO PUT THE WEBSITE WHERE THIS FORM CAN BE LOCATED.
03:19:04 IT DOES GO THROUGH SOME OF THE BULLETS THAT WE JUST WENT
03:19:07 OVER.
03:19:08 AND THEN THE PAGE THAT DEPENDENTS HAS TO SIGN SO THEY CAN
03:19:11 SEND IT TO THE LANDLORD TO BE APPROVED.
03:19:14 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:19:16 SO THE NEXT TWO SLIDES ARE GOING TO BE QUITE HARD TO READ,
03:19:20 JUST BECAUSE IT'S REALLY THE INFORMATION IS QUITE SMALL.
03:19:23 BUT WE ARE GOING TO GO OVER BOTH THE EVICTIONS AND THE RENT
03:19:26 PROCESS.
03:19:27 ANY EVICTION THAT HAPPENED AFTER MARCH 18th IS
03:19:30 ATTRIBUTED TO THE COVID.
03:19:32 AND AS YOU CAN SEE, PROBABLY RIGHT AROUND MARCH 23rd,
03:19:37 WHEN THE EVICTION MORATORIUM WAS PUT IN PLACE, THE EVICTION
03:19:41 NUMBERS WERE QUITE LOW.
03:19:44 SINCE THE EVICTION MORATORIUM HAS BEEN LIFTED BY THE
03:19:46 GOVERNOR'S, EVICTION NUMBERS HAVE GONE UP.
03:19:49 IN FACT THE RECENT NUMBERS AS OF 10-17 SHOW 243 THAT WERE IN
03:19:55 PLACE.
03:19:55 AND THAT'S NOT ON THE -- THAT'S THE MOST RECENT THAT WE HAVE
03:19:58 GOTTEN.
03:19:59 THE EVICTION PROCESS DOES START WITH A 3-DAY NOTICE TO PAY
03:20:03 OR VACATE, THEN THE LANDLORD CAN FILE EVICTION FORMS REQUEST
03:20:07 THE CIRCUIT COURT, AND THAT CAN EITHER BE UPHELD OR DENIED,
03:20:10 AND WE TRY TO GET THE TENANTS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A
03:20:13 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EVICTION AND THE NOTICE WHICH WE WILL
03:20:16 GO THROUGH AT THE END OF THIS PRESENTATION ALSO.
03:20:20 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:20:22 SO THIS SHOWS THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY WRIT ITSELF, THE WRIT
03:20:27 OF PETITION HAS HAPPENED BECAUSE THE TENANT HAS BEEN COURT
03:20:29 ORDERED TO VACATE.
03:20:30 THOSE NUMBERS ARE ALSO ON THE INCLINE.
03:20:32 THE RECENT NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE FROM OCTOBER 16th, THERE
03:20:35 WERE 81 WRITS OF POSSESSIONS THAT WERE DONE, THE NUMBERS ARE
03:20:40 SLIGHTLY GOING UP NOW THAT THE MORATORIUM LIFT WAS ISSUED BY
03:20:44 THE GOVERNOR.
03:20:45 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:20:50 JUST A BRIEF UPDATE ON SOME OF THE CARES FUNDING, THE
03:20:53 JURISDICTION WAS POPULATIONS GREATER THAN 500,000 CAN D
03:20:58 RECEIVE DIRECT CARES FUNDING.
03:20:59 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY RECEIVED THE CARE FUNDING, AND THEY
03:21:02 RECEIVED ABOUT $256 MILLION AND THIS ALSO AIDED RESIDENTS OF
03:21:07 CITY OF TAMPA, PLANT CITY, TEMPLE TERRACE AND UNINCORPORATED
03:21:11 HILLSBOROUGH TO FOR SOME OF THE RELIEF EFFORTS, DID INCLUDE
03:21:14 CITY OF TAMPA RESIDENTS.
03:21:17 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:21:20 WITH SOME OF THE FINANCIAL RELIEF THAT WE HAVE DONE TO
03:21:22 PREVENT THE EVICTION PROCESS IS WE HAVE DONE SOME FINANCIAL
03:21:25 RELIEF BOTH THROUGH THE CITY OF TAMPA, ONE TAMPA RELIEF
03:21:29 EFFORT PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE COUNTY'S R-3 PROGRAM AND THEIR
03:21:32 SOCIAL SERVICE PLAN.
03:21:34 AS FAR AS TECHNICAL SUPPORT, WE REFER TENANTS TO THE
03:21:37 EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS SHELTER.
03:21:40 SOME OF THOSE ARE CATHOLIC CHARITIES, METROPOLITAN
03:21:42 MINISTRIES, WORKING WITH TAMPA HILLSBOROUGH HOMELESS
03:21:46 INITIATIVE, THHI, AND WORKING WITH LANDLORDS TO CREATE A
03:21:49 RENTAL REHAB PROGRAM.
03:21:51 AND WE CERTAINLY WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALWAYS
03:21:53 ADVOCATING FOR PERSONS WHO ARE FACING EVICTION BY PAIRING
03:21:58 THEY WILL REQUEST HOUSING COUNSELING AGENCIES WHO HELP THEM
03:22:02 KNOW THEIR RATES AS WELL AS STETSON UNIVERSITY TUTORIAL
03:22:08 VIDEOS SO THEY KNOW WHAT THEIR TENANT RIGHTS ARE.
03:22:11 NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
03:22:13 THANK YOU.
03:22:14 SO REQUEST THE CITY OF TAMPA, ONE TAMPA RELIEF PROGRAM,
03:22:18 THESE NUMBERS THAT I AM GOING OVER HERE ARE JUST
03:22:21 SPECIFICALLY FOR THE INDIVIDUALS.
03:22:22 SO WE HAVE HELD 1,255 INDIVIDUALS TO REMAIN STABLE IN THEIR
03:22:28 HOMES DURING THIS PANDEMIC.
03:22:29 SO FAR WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED 1 .7 MILLION WITH AN ADDITIONAL
03:22:33 1.3 THAT'S PROJECTED TO BE PAID OUT.
03:22:35 AND THAT BRINGS US TO AN $3 MILLION THAT WE PAID OUT SO FAR
03:22:40 FOR 1,255 FAMILIES WITH RENT, MORTGAGE AND UTILITY PAYMENTS.
03:22:47 WE DID START THE PROGRAM 30 DAYS AFTER THE LOCKDOWN ON APRIL
03:22:51 17th.
03:22:51 SO WE STARTED RATHER QUICKLY SO THAT WE CAN TRY TO AVOID
03:22:55 SOME OF THE EVICTION PROCESS AND THE FEAR FOR SOME OF THE
03:22:59 FAMILIES FOR EVICTION.
03:23:00 AND THIS SERVED AS AN IMMEDIATE BRIDGE WHILE WE WERE STILL
03:23:04 WAITING FOR ADDITIONAL FEDERAL/STATE FUNDS TO BE APPROVED.
03:23:10 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:23:10 WHILE THE EVICTION MORATORIUM WAS IN PLACE, SOME LANDLORDS
03:23:16 WERE ABLE TO PUT -- PREPARE TO THEIR UNITS BECAUSE THEY HAD
03:23:20 REDUCED RENTAL INCOME, SO THIS IS REALLY, WE FOUND THAT THIS
03:23:24 BECAME REALLY EVIDENT IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THOSE WHO
03:23:28 WERE UNABLE TO MAKE THEIR PAYMENT, THE LANDLORD WAS ABLE TO
03:23:31 HOLD THE PROPERTY BY MAKING THE NECESSARY REPAIRS THAT WERE
03:23:35 NEEDED -- NEEDED.
03:23:36 SO AS THE UNITS ARE NOT REPAIRED, THE RISK OF BEING
03:23:41 UNINHABITABLE AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF AFFORDABLE UNITS THAT
03:23:47 WE HAVE AND REDUCING TAMPA SUPPLY.
03:23:49 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:23:50 THE NEXT PHASE OF THE CARE FUND, WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO
03:23:53 TARGET THE EVICTION AND FOCUS ON MULTIFAMILY RENTAL
03:24:00 PROPERTIES WHICH CREATES A LARGER SCALE TO TRY TO PREVENT
03:24:03 THE EVICTIONS SO WE HELPED CREATE A PROGRAM WHERE WE WILL
03:24:06 TARGET THOSE MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES, THEY HAVE PROVIDE
03:24:12 HOUSING FOR VERY LOW AND LOW-INCOME HOUSING FAMILIES AND
03:24:16 THOSE IN FEED OF PROPERTIES THAT EITHER NEED TO TAKE PEOPLE
03:24:19 OFF THE WAITING LIST, FOR THESE AFFORDABLE UNITS, THEY MUST
03:24:23 HAVE EXPERIENCE AT LEAST 25 PERCENT LOSS OF RENTAL INCOME
03:24:26 BETWEEN FEBRUARY AND SEPTEMBER, AND WITH THIS PROGRAM, IT
03:24:30 WILL PROVIDE A LOAN TO REHAB THE BUILDING AND PROPERTIES TO
03:24:33 BENEFIT THE TENANTS UP TO $10,000 PER UNIT, AND WILL IMPOSE
03:24:38 SOME RENT RESTRICTIONS FOR LONG-TERM AFFORDABILITY SO WE
03:24:41 WILL IMPOSE WITHIN THE AGREEMENT THAT THEY KEEP SO MANY
03:24:44 UNITS AFFORDABLE.
03:24:47 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:24:51 SO OUR GOAL IS TO STAVE EVICTIONS DUE TO UNINHABITABLE
03:24:57 UNITS, AND TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE HOUSING CONDITIONS,
03:25:00 AND DEVELOP A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH AFFORDABLE
03:25:02 APARTMENT OWNERS, TO HELP HOUSE HOMELESS AND OTHERS SEEKING
03:25:07 AFFORDABLE RENTALS.
03:25:09 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:25:13 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY HAD THEIR R-3 PROGRAM, THE RESPONSE
03:25:17 RECOVERY PROGRAM.
03:25:19 SINCE THIS SLIDE, THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR APPLICATION PROCESS
03:25:21 AND THEY ARE NO LONGER TAKING APPLICATIONS.
03:25:24 SO THEY ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO APPLY AT THE WEBSITE LISTED.
03:25:31 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:25:34 SO I WANT TO BE GONE THROUGH SOME OF THE TECHNICAL SUPPORT
03:25:36 THAT WE WANT TO OFFER.
03:25:38 WE ARE COLLABORATING WITH THE COUNTY AND THHI AS WELL AS
03:25:42 FLORIDA BAR ASSOCIATION.
03:25:43 WE HAVE DONE ONE VIRTUAL SPEED LEASING SO FAR, THAT WAS MORE
03:25:48 OF A PILOT PROGRAM THAT WE DID BACK IN AUGUST, AND WE ARE
03:25:51 EARMARKING ADDITIONAL SIX VIRTUAL EVENTS AND WANT TO TARGET
03:25:54 AT LEAST 270 PEOPLE.
03:25:57 CONTINUE WITH HOUSING RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND HOUSING
03:26:00 COUNSELING FOR THE HOUSING COUNSELING AGENCY THANKS, WE
03:26:03 PARTNER WITH, THEY DO OFFER SOME RENTAL ASSISTANCE, AS WELL
03:26:06 AS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING TO RENT.
03:26:10 OFFERING FLORIDA HOUSING SEARCH DID.ORG AS A WAY TO FIND
03:26:15 AFFORDABLE UNITS.
03:26:17 FACE IS FLORIDA ATTORNEYS CONSULTANTS AGAINST EVICTION.
03:26:21 WE ARE ALSO LOOKING FOR LEGAL ASSISTANCE TO REGISTER AND
03:26:24 VOLUNTEER.
03:26:24 WE PUT THIS UP ON OUR WEBSITE SO THEY CAN COME AND HELP
03:26:27 CONSULT THOSE WHO ARE FACING EVICTION, AS WELL AS VIRTUAL
03:26:31 JOB FAIRS.
03:26:33 RIGHT NOW, SOME OF THE RESULTS THAT WE ARE MAKING FOR THE
03:26:37 SHELTER PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN THE CITY ARE CATHOLIC
03:26:40 CHARITIES, METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES, AND SALVATION ARMY.
03:26:44 AND THEY ARE REQUIRING AN EVICTION NOTICE OR 3-DAY NOTICE.
03:26:49 THEY CAN ALSO DO HELP REQUEST SOME RENTAL ASSISTANCE THAT
03:26:54 THEY HAVE FUNDING FROM OTHER SOURCES.
03:26:56 ALSO, THEY OFFER HEM WITH THE RENTAL APPLICATION, UTILITY
03:27:01 DEPOSIT, AND MOVING COSTS INFORM SOME OF THOSE WHO ARE
03:27:04 LOOKING TO MOVE BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY BECOME HOMELESS.
03:27:07 AND THEY ALL HAVE A HOUSING SPECIALIST TO HELP THEM FIND
03:27:10 AFFORDABLE UNITS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
03:27:14 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.
03:27:19 SO I SPOKE A LITTLE EARLIER ABOUT THE HOUSING AGENCIES THAT
03:27:23 WE PARTNER WITH.
03:27:23 THESE ARE FOR THE HOUSING COUNSELING AGENCIES THAT WE
03:27:27 CURRENTLY PARTNER WITH, AND THEY ALL DO SOME FORM OF RENTAL
03:27:30 COUNSELING, SO WE DO COUNSEL, SEND CLIENTS THEIR WAY FOR THE
03:27:39 ASPECT OF FINANCIAL HEALTH AND FINDING UNITS.
03:27:42 NEXT SLIDE.
03:27:46 THE WORKSHOP AS FAR AS LETTING PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEIR RIGHTS
03:27:48 ARE, SOME OF THE THINGS WE GENERALLY LIKE THEM TO REALIZE IS
03:27:52 A 3 DAY NOTICE IS NOT THE SAME THING AS AN EVICTION.
03:27:55 SOMETIMES THEY GET THE D DAY NOTICE AND EVICTIONS ARE TO BE
03:28:00 COURT ORDERED.
03:28:01 WE ALSO LIKE THEM TO KNOW SOME OF THEIR RIGHTS, THE RENT
03:28:04 INCREASE CANNOT JUST POP IN BECAUSE THE LANDLORD FEELS LIKE
03:28:09 IT.
03:28:10 THEY CAN'T PAY FEE THAT ARE NOT LISTED ON THEIR ADDENDUM,
03:28:14 BUT THERE ARE FEES AND THEY ARE PROTECTED UNDER THE FAIR
03:28:16 HOUSING LAWS, AS WELL AS A WRITTEN LEASE AGREEMENT AND NOT
03:28:21 JUST VERBAL AGREEMENT.
03:28:22 TENANTS DO HAVE THE RATES FOR REPAIRS TO BE MADE WHICH IS
03:28:25 WHY WE WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THAT RENTAL REHAB PROGRAM.
03:28:28 AND RETURN OF THEIR SECURITY DEPOSITS IF NO DAMAGES HAVE
03:28:33 BEEN MADE.
03:28:33 NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THIS SLIDE JUST TALKS ABOUT WHAT CAN BE
03:28:39 DONE IF A TENANT FELT LIKE FAIR HOUSING LAWS HAVE BEEN
03:28:44 VIOLATED, THEN THEY CAN FILE A FAIR HOUSING COMPLAINT IF
03:28:47 THEY ARE WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMPA, IF IT'S OUR OFFICE THAT
03:28:50 THEY FILED THAT COMPLAINT, AND OUTSIDE THE CITY OF TAMPA
03:28:53 LIMITS, THEN THEY WOULD FILE IT DIRECTLY WITH HUD.
03:28:57 AND THAT IS THE END OF THIS PRESENTATION.
03:28:59 ANY QUESTIONS?
03:28:59 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:29:02 ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS?
03:29:10 I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION, AND I WILL JUST PUT THIS OUT
03:29:14 THERE.
03:29:15 IT'S BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT YEAR FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
03:29:18 THE CITY HAS HELD SO MANY R, SO MANY OTHER ORGANIZATIONS
03:29:22 HAVE HELPED PEOPLE PAY THEIR RENT, BUSINESSES THAT WERE
03:29:24 STRUGGLE, ARE STRUGGLING, PEOPLE THAT WERE SHUT DOWN,
03:29:27 WHATEVER.
03:29:27 BUT I HAVE TO SAY SHAME ON SOME LANDLORDS.
03:29:32 THERE WERE SOME THAT THEY WERE HAPPY TO COLLECT RENT, AND
03:29:35 THEY REQUEST GOOD TO THEIR TENANTS, AND THERE WERE OTHERS
03:29:38 THAT RAISED PEOPLE'S RENT.
03:29:40 OVER THE SUMMER AND BEFORE.
03:29:42 EVEN IF IT WAS A MINIMAL AMOUNT.
03:29:50 SHOULDN'T LANDLORDS BE HAPPY THAT THEY ARE COLLECTING RENT,
03:29:52 ONE WOULD ASSUME, IN THIS SITUATION, BUT OTHER PEOPLE RAISED
03:29:55 PEOPLE'S RENTS AND I JUST FOUND IT UNNECESSARY, AND REALLY
03:30:00 OTHER THAN THE LEASE AGREEMENT OR WHATEVER IT IS, THAT
03:30:03 TENANTS HAVE SIGNED IN THE PAST.
03:30:05 SO I WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE.
03:30:07 ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THIS?
03:30:13 ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:30:14 WE APPRECIATE IT.
03:30:16 THAT CONCLUDES THE AGENDA, I BELIEVE.
03:30:21 AND WE CAN GO TO INFORMATION REPORTS AND NEW BUSINESS BY
03:30:23 COUNCIL MEMBERS.
03:30:24 COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA IS NOT HERE TODAY.
03:30:27 SO I GO TO COUNCIL MEMBER GUDES.
03:30:29 >>ORLANDO GUDES: NOTHING SIR.
03:30:32 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER DINGFELDER.
03:30:34 >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I AM GOING TO HOLD MY NEW BUSINESS T
03:30:38 TILL LATER.
03:30:39 BUT ARE WE DOING A SPECIAL CALL MEETING?
03:30:43 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, WE ARE GOING TO GO RIGHT INTO IT
03:30:45 AFTER WE FINISH.
03:30:46 >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S NEW
03:30:49 BUSINESS UNDER THE SPECIAL CALL.
03:30:50 >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY INFORMATION REPORTS AND NEW
03:30:56 BUSINESS, AND MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE.
