REQUEST MOVE UP TO NUMBER 5, 6 AND 7.
OUR APPLICATION IS THE OLDEST ZONING APPLICATION AND WE HAVE
NO INTEREST OF GETTING AHEAD OF THE FOLKS HERE IN THE ROOM
WHO HAVE INTEREST IN ITEM NUMBER 1.
WE HAVE A FAIR NUMBER OF COMMUNITY SUPPORTER WHO ARE HERE

THE REQUEST IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE PEOPLE HERE
WHO ARE WILLING -- WHO WANT TO SPEAK TO THESE AGENDA ITEMS.
05:11:51PM >> YES, SIR.
BASED ON BEING THE OLDEST APPLICATION ON THE AGENDA, WE WERE
UNDER THE IMPRESSION WE WOULD BE A BIT EARLIER ON THE
AGENDA.
WE ARE NOT TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF THE FOLKS HERE FOR ITEM
NUMBER 1.
WE ARE JUST TRYING TO GO BEFORE WHAT IS CURRENTLY ITEM
NUMBER 5.
05:12:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 1,REZ-22-24.
411 WEST SAN CARLOS STREET.
PROPOSED REZONING FROM RS-75 RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY
TO PD, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED.
NOW COUNCIL, YOU MAY BE REMINDED OF THIS CASE AS WAS
ORIGINALLY HEARD JUNE 9, 2022.
THE ORIGINAL ANALYSIS BASED ON A LOT SIZE OF 60 FEET.
NOT 75 FEET.
USE WAS STATED AT SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
AND THE BLOCK FACE ANALYSIS WAS WEST SAN CARLOS INSTEAD OF
SOUTH CAMERON AVENUE.
SO REVISED STAFF REPORT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.
THE SITE PLAN WAS ALSO SUBMITTED.
AND THIS IS JUST FOR FIRST READING AGAIN TO CLEAR THE RECORD
OF THOSE THREE ITEMS.
I WILL NOW PASS IT ALONG TO OUR PLANNING COMMISSION.
05:14:26PM >>SAM THOMAS:
GOOD EVENING, SAM THOMAS WITH YOUR PLANNING
COMMISSION STAFF LOCATED IN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
MORE SPECIFICALLY -- ARE YOU ABLE TO SEE THE SCREEN?
THERE IT IS.
THE SOUTH TAMPA DISTRICT AND PALMA CEIA WEST NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE CLOSEST TRANSIT STOP IS 0.4 MILES EAST OF SAN CARLOS AND
SOUTH DALE MABRY HIGHWAY.
CLOSEST RECREATIONAL FACILITY IS FOURTH OF A MILE TO THE
SOUTH OF THE SITE AND THE SITE IS LOCATED IN THE LEVEL B
EVACUATION ZONE.
HERE IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
AS YOU CAN, THE SURROUNDING AREA IS SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED HOMES.
A FOURTH OF A MILE TO THE NORTHWEST IS HENDERSON BOULEVARD
WHERE LIGHT COMMERCIAL USE CAN BE FOUND AND SOUTH DALE MABRY
HIGHWAY IS WITHIN A HALF A MILE TO THE EAST WHICH ALSO
INCLUDES LIGHT COMMERCIAL USES HERE IS A MAP OF THE FUTURE
LAND USE DESIGNATION.
THE SITE IS CURRENTLY RECOGNIZED UNDER THE RS.
AND SURROUND AREA OF THE RS-6 DESIGNATION.
NORTH AND WEST THE PURPLE COLOR ALONG HENDERSON BOULEVARD
WHICH IS THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35.
CONTINUED NORTHWEST ALONG THAT THE ORANGE COLOR WHICH IS THE
RESIDENTIAL-10, WHICH IS ALSO FOUND TO THE SOUTH ALONG WEST
BAY TO BAY BOULEVARD.
THE BLUE COLOR OVER HERE IS PUBLIC-SEMI PUBLIC-PRIVATE
SCHOOLS, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND A RECREATIONAL FACILITY.
THIS PORTION OF WEST SAN CARLOS BETWEEN SOUTH LOIS AND SOUTH
CLARK EXCLUDING THE SUBJECT SITE HAS AN EXISTING DENSITY OF
4.65 UNITS PER ACRE AND A PORTION OF SOUTH CAMERON BETWEEN
WEST SAN MIGUEL AND WEST SAN CARLOS OF 4.51 UNITS PER ACRE.
REQUEST FOR TWO SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS WITH DENSITY AT
5.17 UNITS PER ACRE WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY
UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL-6 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
PROPOSED REQUEST WILL ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT IN FORM, HEIGHT
AND SCALE OF SAN CARLOS AND CAMERON AVENUE.
SUPPORTS MANY POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF HOUSING
THE CITY'S POPULATION.
THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ALLOW HOUSING ON VACANT AND
UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO HELP MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PRESENT AND
FUTURE POPULATIONS.
I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
05:17:15PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR STAFF?
THANK YOU.
05:17:19PM >>ZAIN HUSSEIN:
ZAIN HUSSEIN, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
THIS IS BEING PROPOSED TO REZONE THE PROPERTY AT 4111 WEST
SAN CARLOS STREET.
THE PROPOSED REZONING IS TO CREATE TWO SINGLE-FAMILY
DETACHED LOTS.
I WILL SHOW YOU AN OVERHEAD VIEW OF THE SITE PLAN FROM THE
APPLICANT.
WE HAVE TWO LOTS HERE.
THE SUBJECT SITE CONTAINS A LOT AREA OF.35 ACRES OR 15,290
SQUARE FEET.
PROPERTY IS LOCATED -- NORTHEAST INTERSECTION OF SOUTH
CAMERON AVENUE.
AND WEST SAN CARLOS STREET.
THE PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST ARE ALL
ZONED RS-75.
AND THESE ARE ALL LOTS DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENCES.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT ONE BUILDING ON EACH
LOT, LOTS 7 AND 10.
SETBACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS.
SEVEN FEET IN THE NORTH.
20 FEET TO THE EAST.
25 FEET TO THE WEST.
AND SEVEN FEET TO THE SOUTH.
MAXIMUM HEIGHT 20 FEET HIGH.
AND FOUR PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED AND THE APPLICANT IS
PROVIDING NINE TOTAL PARKING SPACES
VEHICULAR ACCESS TWO DWELLINGS.
SOUTH CAMERON.
DWELLING NUMBER TWO.
AND VEHICLE ACCESS FOR DWELLING NUMBER ONE ON WEST SAN
CARLOS STREET.
I WILL NOW SHOW YOU AN AERIAL VIEW.
AS I TALKED ABOUT THE LOT HERE OUTLINED IN RED.
YOU WILL SEE ENCOMPASSING THE LOT ARE ALL RESIDENTIAL
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
SOUTH CAMERON AND WEST SAN CARLOS TO THE SOUTH.
YOU SEE THE CONFORMING MAP HERE.
YOU SEE THE LOT HERE OUTLINED IN BLACK CHECKERED.
SO THE MAJORITY OF THE LOTS WITHIN THE STUDIED AREA HAVE
BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A LOT WIDTH CONSISTENT WITH THE RS-75
ZONING DISTRICTS.
HOWEVER, ANALYZING THE SUBJECT BLOCK, SPECIFICALLY THE BLOCK
FACE, THE THREE LOTS TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT BLOCK
MEASURE 55 X 139, 55 X 139 AND 58.6 X 139 EACH OF THE LOTS
ARE DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AND LOT AIR AREA
OF 7500 SQUARE FEET OR MORE.
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLATTED LOTS FOR THE BLOCK FACE BE
CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE BLOCK AND THE
MINIMUM LOT REQUIREMENTS FOR BOTH THE RESIDENTIAL-6 LAND USE
DESIGNATION AND RS-75 ZONING DISTRICT.
I WILL NOW GO AHEAD AND SHOW THE ELEVATIONS.
THIS IS DWELLING -- DWELLING NUMBER ONE FROM THE SOUTH
ELEVATION, THE WEST ELEVATION.
DWELLING NUMBER 1 STILL, THE NORTH ELEVATION AND THE EAST
ELEVATION.
DWELLING NUMBER TWO.
YOU HAVE THE EAST ELEVATION AND THE WEST ELEVATION.
ALSO ON DWELLING NUMBER 2 STILL.
YOU HAVE THE SOUTH ELEVATION AND THE EAST ELEVATION.
AS I WENT OUT TO THE SUBJECT SITE, I TOOK PICTURES AND THE
CURRENT SITE AS IT STANDS VACANT.
YOU SEE THE PUBLIC NOTICE SIGN IN THE FRONT.
ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE VACANT SITE.
THE SITE TO THE NORTH, YOU HAVE MORE RESIDENTIAL
SINGLE-FAMILY TO THE NORTH.
TO THE WEST YOU SHOULD HAVE MORE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY.
YOU SEE THE INTERSECTION OF SAN CARLOS AND SOUTH CAMERON.
TO THE SOUTH, YOU WILL SEE MORE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY.
AND TO THE EAST YOU WILL SEE MORE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY.
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION HAS REVIEWED THE CASE AND FINDS IT
CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
IF APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL, THE APPLICANT MUST MAKE CHANGES
TO THE SITE PLAN AS PER THE REVISION SHEET.
THANK YOU.
I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
05:23:22PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. HUSSEIN.
SEEING NONE?
PETITIONER.
05:23:27PM >> CAN YOU HELP ME GET TO THE PRESENTATION.
I ALREADY LOADED IT ON THE COMPUTER.
CAN YOU BRING UP THE COMPUTER SCREEN, PLEASE.
THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE, COUNCIL.
KEVIN REALI, 401 EAST JACKSON STREET FOR THE APPLICANT.
AS ZAIN SAID, YOU HAVE SEEN THE APPLICATION BEFORE.
TRAVIS HILLS PRESENTED LAST TIME.
GIVEN THE QUESTIONS FOR THE RECORD AND THE CONCERNS ON
SECOND READ, THE PROPERTY OWNER CAME TO OUR FIRM AND ASKED
FOR US TO ASSIST IN THIS READING TO ENSURE THE RECORD IS
APPROPRIATE.
TO PRESERVE THE RECORD, YOU KNOW, I DON'T MEAN TO BE TOO
REPETITIVE BUT I WILL GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION QUICKLY ON
SOME OF THE FACTS.
AGAIN, GENERAL LOCATION 401 WEST SAN CARLOS STREET SOUTH OF
HENDERSON.
EAST OF LOIS AND PALMA CEIA WEST.
FUTURE LAND USE MAP AS PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF NOTED.
THIS IS R-6, SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED FOR THE LARGER AREA AND
THE PRO PROPOSAL CONFORMS AND IS COMPATIBLE AND CONSISTENT
WITH THE R-6 LAND USE CATEGORY AS PLANNING COMMISSION NOTED.
THE ZONING MAP, THE LARGER AREA IS CURRENTLY ZONED RS-75.
AS STAFF NOTED, A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF LOTS DO CONFORM WITH
THIS.
BUT THE UNDERLYING PLAT DOES HAVE SMALLER LOTS AND WITH
ZONING CONFORMANCE, A LARGE NUMBER OF LOTS THAT ARE LESS
THAN 75 FEET IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WE WILL DISCUSS IN MORE
DETAIL LATER.
IMPORTANT FOR THIS APPLICATION, THE REQUEST TO USE A PD WILL
ALLOW FOR A 55-FOOT FRONTAGE AND MINIMUM LOT SIZE IS 7500
SQUARE FEET AND LIMITATIONS OF RS-75 WAS INCLUDED IN THIS.
MOST NOTABLY IS THE 15-FOOT CORNER YARD SETBACK BY THE PD
SATISFIES AND YET THE -- WITH THOSE LIMITATIONS IS STILL
ABLE TO CONFORM, WHICH INCREASES THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE
REQUEST.
THE REQUEST ITSELF IS TO REZONE FROM RS BE 475 TO PD
USING RS-75 STANDARDS WITH NO WAIVERS.
REQUEST FOR TWO SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING UNITS AS
SHOWN HERE.
FURTHER ON IN THE REQUEST IS TO CREATE TWO LOTS, BUT IT IS
ACTUALLY NOT CREATING TWO LOTS, IT IS REVERTING TO THE
EXISTING LOT 7 AND 10 ON THE PLAT THAT IS THERE TODAY.
THE LOT SIZE ON EACH WOULD BE 7645 SQUARE FEET WHICH IS
COMPATIBLE AND CONSISTENT WITH RS-75, BUT ALSO WITH THE R-6
UNDERLYING FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY AND THE CRUX OF THE PD
TO USE THE 5500 FRONTAGE THAT THE PLAT PROVIDES FOR.
CONSISTENCY, THE COMPREHENSIVE STAFF FOUND IT CONSISTENT AND
NUMBER OF LAND USE POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES.
SPECIFICALLY THAT THE REQUEST WILL ALLOW FOR A DEVELOPMENT
SIMILAR IN FORM, HEIGHT AND SCALE.
AND NOTING THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES NEW
HOUSING ON VACANT UNDERUTILIZED LAND.
I UNDERSTAND ADDING ONE HOUSE IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE
HOUSING CRISIS BUT A 110-SQUARE-FOOT LOT IN THE CORE OF THE
CITY IS UNDERUTILIZED LAND.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, THIS IS
STRAIGHTFORWARD SHOWING THE EXCERPT FROM THE STAFF REPORT.
EVERY AGENCY FOUND IT CONSISTENT AND IT IS CONSISTENT WITH
THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
REGARDING COMPATIBILITY, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF NOTED
THAT THE PROPOSED REQUEST WOULD ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT THAT
IS SIMILAR TO FORM, HEIGHT AND SCALE AS I NOTED.
ONE OF THE CONCERNS ON THE FIRST -- SORRY, THE SECOND
READING WAS THE ANALYSIS WAS DONE WITH THE FRONTAGE ON WEST
SAN CARLOS STREET.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF WAS NOT UPDATED BECAUSE ANALYZED
WITH WEST SAN CARLOS AND CAMERON AVENUE.
AND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION STAFF FOUND IT APPROPRIATE IN
LOCATION AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
THERE ARE NO WAIVERS.
SO YOUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF, THE EXPERT OPINION SHOWED THAT
THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT AND COMPATIBLE, BUT WE WANT TO
OFFER A COUPLE OF EXTRA FACTS FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER WITH
REGARDS TO COMPATIBILITY.
WHAT I HOPE TO DESCRIBE HERE ON THIS SLIDE IS A FEW
DIFFERENT WAYS TO LOOK AT THIS.
THE FIRST WAY I LOOKED AT THIS BEING INTRODUCED TO THE
APPLICATION IS THE BLOCK FACE.
TALKING OF CAMERON AVENUE.
IF APPROVED, FIVE OF THE EIGHT LOTS WILL FALL THE PLAT LOT,
WHICH IS 55-FOOT-LOTS.
THE PLAT SHOW ONE OF THE LOTS IS 57 FEET, BUT ALL USEFUL
PURPOSES A PLAT OF 55-FOOT LOTS ALONG CAMERON AVENUE.
YOU LOOK AT THE ACTUAL BLOCK.
BLOCK 23 OF THE PLAT BORDERED BY SAN MIGUEL, SAN CARLOS,
CAMERON AND CLARK.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE BLOCK, SEVEN OF THE NINE WILL FOLLOW THE
PLATTED DEVELOPMENT PATTERN WHICH, WE BELIEVE, ALSO SHOWS
CONSISTENCY.
AND EXTEND A LITTLE FURTHER HERE AND INFINITE NUMBER OF WAYS
TO DO THIS, BUT TO SIMPLY SHOW WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO GET
ACROSS HERE.
YOU TAKE EVERYTHING ACROSS THE RIGHT-OF-WAYS-OF-WAY.
YOU ARE LEFT WITH 23 PARCELS.
IF APPROVED, 15 OF THE 23 LOTS ARE LESS THAN 75 FEET.
65% WILL BE LESS THAN THE RS-75 FRONTAGE REQUIREMENTS.
THE REQUEST HERE IS NOT INCOMPATIBLE.
IN FACT IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.
NOW I WANT TO TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT THE PREVIOUS HEARINGS.
ESTABLISHING A NEW RECORD HERE TODAY.
WHEN TALK OF THE APPROVAL OF THE COUNCIL AT THAT HEARING, I
AM NOT SUGGESTING THAT THAT IS SOME SORT OF EVIDENCE FOR
TODAY, BUT I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT COUNCIL PUT ON THE
RECORD THAT DAY.
AT FIRST READING SIGNIFICANT OPPOSITION.
THERE WAS AN APPROVAL VOTE 5-2.
AND NOTABLY OF THOSE FIVE YES VOTES, FOUR OF THEM -- FOUR OF
YOU COUNCILMEMBERS WENT ON THE RECORD AND SAID WE HEAR THE
OPPOSITION, AND I AM PARAPHRASING HERE, BUT COMPATIBILITY
HERE AND SUPPORTED THE MOTION.
THEN CAME FOR A SECOND READING JULY 14, AND THERE WAS A
PROBLEM WITH THE RECORD CALLED OUT.
AND, OF COURSE, I AM SURE THE COUNCILMEMBERS REMEMBER THAT.
BUT THAT PROBLEM WAS NOT IDENTIFIED ON THE RECORD.
STAFF SAID THERE WAS CONCERN THAT THE RECORD NEEDED TO BE
MODIFIED TO ENSURE THAT THE RECORD WAS APPROPRIATE FOR A
QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING AND CONTINUED -- IN A MANNER OF
SPEAKING REMANDED HERE TODAY FOR FIRST READ.
THE RECORD CHANGES.
AS STAFF NOTED, THE STAFF REPORT MENTIONED 65 -- SORRY
60-FOOT LOT INSTEAD OF A 75-FOOT LOT.
AND IT -- THE STAFF REPORT ALSO LISTED SINGLE-FAMILY
ATTACHED.
ADDITIONALLY, THE BLOCK FACE ANALYSIS WAS BASED ON WEST SAN
CARLOS INSTEAD OF SOUTH CAMERON AVENUE.
NOTABLY ON JUNE 9, THE STAFF PRESENTED A PRESENTATION
DISCUSSING THE CHANGE FROM RS-75, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY
TO PD, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND ON THE RECORD
NOTED SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED NOT ATTACHED.
I WOULD SUGGEST TO COUNCIL THAT THOSE FIRST TWO ISSUES ARE
NOT SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES FROM WHAT YOU ALL HEARD ON JUNE 9 IN
CHAMBERS.
ADDITIONALLY, AS STAFF NOTED TONIGHT, THE ANALYSIS WAS
RECONDUCTED CONSIDERING WEST SAN CARLOS -- EXCUSE ME
CONSIDERING WEST CAMERON AS THE FRONTAGE AND NOTED THE SAME
CONCLUSION CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY.
NO SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES FROM THE RECORD YOU HEARD ON JUNE 9.
NO CHANGES TO THE DESIGN OF THE APPLICATION BEFORE YOU
TODAY.
TODAY'S RECORD -- REQUEST A PD TO USE THE PLATTED LOTS,
SPECIFICALLY LOTS 7 AND 10 OF LOT 23.
AND CONSISTENT AND COMPATIBLE WITH R-6, USE THE DEVELOPMENT
STANDARDS WITH A PLATTED LOT OF 55 FEET.
SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME RECORD.
IN CONCLUSION, THE GOAL IS TO UTILIZED THE PD TO DEVELOP
CONSISTENT WITH THE NEARBY SCALE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS CHOSEN ARE MEANT TO ENHANCE
COMPATIBILITY.
THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN -- LET ME MOVE BACK TO THAT FOR A
MOMENT.
THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ITSELF IS MEANT TO ENSURE
COMPATIBILITY.
THE TOP PICTURE THERE SHOWS LOT 7.
THAT STRUCTURE HAVING ONLY A FRONTAGE ON CAMERON HAS THE
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND DETAIL ON CAMERON.
BUT YOU CAN SEE THE ADDITIONAL ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL ON THE
CORNER LOT TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS THE FRONTAGE ON CAMERON
THERE ON THE LEFT WITH THAT ENTRANCE, BUT ALSO ON THE SIDE
WITH THE VEHICULAR ACCESS.
THERE IS STILL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS SO THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS
NOT LOOKING AT A BLANK WALL FACE ALONG WEST SAN CARLOS.
NO WAIVERS WERE REQUESTED.
THE REQUEST IS TO DEVELOP UNDER THE EXISTING PLAT.
AND ALL STAFF FOUND IT CONSISTENT AND COMPATIBLE AND WE
REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
THANK YOU.
WE ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OF THE DESIGN TEAM IS
HERE AS WELL.
05:35:04PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PETITIONER?

05:38:09PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, PLEASE PROCEED.
05:38:12PM >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBERS.
MICHAEL McNABB, RESIDENT OF PALMA CEIA WEST FOR 47 YEARS
AND CURRENT PRESIDENT OF PALMA CEIA WEST NEIGHBORHOOD
ASSOCIATION.
OUR BOARD HAS VOTE TO OPPOSE THIS REZONING, AND I'M HERE TO
SPEAK AS THE PRESIDENT AND HOMEOWNER WITHIN SITE OF THE
SUBJECT PROPERTY.
I KNOW THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WELL, AND I CARE ABOUT PRESERVING
THE GOOD THINGS IN IT.
WE WERE NEVER ASKED TO MEET WITH THE OWNERS OF THIS REZONING
AND WE HAVE THE PAST IN SIMILAR ZONINGS.
INCONVENIENT TRUTH THAT THE CITY STAFF HAS NOT BROUGHT TO
YOUR ATTENTION THAT DIRECTLY EFFECTS ITS LOT SPLIT.
2012, OWNER AT 2401 CAMERON AVENUE WHICH IS DIAGONALLY
ACROSS THE STREET -- I HAVE A STICKER THERE THAT SHOWS THAT
-- FILED A REZONING PD TO SPLIT THAT LOT AND BUILD TWO
HOUSES.
ABBYE FEELEY, WHO WAS THEN A STAFFER, VISITED THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND WROTE THE STAFF REPORT, WHICH YOU HAVE IN
FRONT OF YOU.
THE RECOMMENDATION -- AND I AM QUOTING WAS, THE DEVELOPMENT
REVIEW COMMITTEE HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND FOUND IT
INCONSISTENT WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
USES THE TERM "INCONSISTENT" FOUR TIMES AND WHY LOT
SPLITTING IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE DOMINANT PATTERN OF THE
SURROUNDING AREA.
THAT IS ALL IN THAT REPORT.
CITY COUNCIL VOTED TO DENY THAT REZONING PD.
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA VOTED TO DENY THAT.
A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY BUILT ON THAT LOT.
TEN YEARS LATER, THE VERY SAME KIND OF LOT SPLIT IS SOMEHOW
CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE ACCORDING TO
STAFF.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN PALMA CEIA WEST.
SAME NUMBER OF PARCELS EXIST THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU.
NO NEW LAND HAS BEEN ADDED OR ANNEXED IN.
NEVER BEEN A REZONING OR PD IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THE NEW HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT HAVE BEEN BUILT ON
EXISTING LOTS AS OLDER HOMES WERE TORN DOWN.
AS THE FAMOUS CATCHER YOGI BERRA WOULD SAY, IT IS LIKE DÉJÀ
VU ALL OVER AGAIN.
JULY 12, MEMBERS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD MET WITH ABBYE FEELEY
AND LACHONE DOCK.
WE ASKED WHY THE PRIOR REPORT WAS NOT CONSIDERED AS A
PRECEDENT TO THE PD.
ABBYE SAID THE REPORT WAS CORRECT AND SHE STOOD BY THE
RECOMMENDATIONS.
WE WERE SURPRISED WHEN THEY SAID THE LOT SPLIT IN SAN CARLOS
WAS CONSISTENT AND THE 2012 REPORT WAS NOT MENTIONED IN
THERE.
THIS WAS THE NEW INFORMATION BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION THAT
LACHONE ALLUDED TO AT THE SECOND HEARING.
THAT IS WHAT CAUSED IT TO BE CANCELLED, IN MY OPINION.
THIS IS A QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING AND YOU SHOULD LOOK BACK ON
PRIOR DECISIONS FOR GUIDANCE.
NOW THREE STAFF REPORTS.
ONE SO CONFUSING AND INACCURATE THE SECOND READING WAS
CANCELLED.
ONE IN MY OPINION IS STILL CONFUSING AND MISLEADING AND
ABBYE FEELEY'S REPORT WHICH SHE SAYS WAS CORRECT THEN AND
CORRECT NOW.
THE NEW REVISED REPORT WILL HAVE YOU BELIEVE THAT THE SINGLE
BLOCK OF CAMERON AVENUE CONTAINING SEVEN HOUSES -- AND YOU
CAN SEE THAT ON THERE -- DETERMINES THE CHARACTER OF THE
ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD.
FURTHERMORE, STAFF BELIEVES THAT THE BLOCK FACE WHICH ISN'T
IN THE CODE ANYWHERE -- I DON'T KNOW IF I KNOW WHAT BLOCK
FACE MEANS, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY NOT PART OF YOUR CODE.
OF FOUR LOTS ON THE EAST SIDE OF CAMERON IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THEIR ANALYSIS AND OVERRIDES ALL THE
OTHER LOTS THAT YOU SEE ON THAT COLOR MAP.
IN FACT, YOU CAN'T IGNORE THE COLORS ON THAT MAP.
THIS IS BLUE VERSUS ALL OF THE OTHER COLORS THAT ARE ON
THERE, WHICH ARE ALL 60 FEET AND LARGER.
THE BLUE LOTS -- WELL, I WILL GET TO THAT.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, THERE ARE CONVENIENTLY THREE OF THE
20 BLUE NONCONFORMING LOTS ON THE BLOCK FACE.
THIS SEEMS TO BE THE ARGUMENT.
THAT CHANGING A CONFORMING PARCEL, THE SUBJECT PARCEL, TO
TWO OR MORE NONCONFORMING PARCELS MAKE SENSE.
THIS IS CHERRY PICKING.
WHEN THE TRUTH IS THAT 90% OF THE 214 LOTS ON THAT MAP ARE
WIDER THAN 60 FEET.
AND 70% ARE WIDER THAN 70 FEET.
THEY CLEARLY MEET OUR ZONING.
WHEN PALMA CEIA WEST WAS ZONED RS-75, THE BLUE LOTS WERE
GRANDFATHERED IN.
THEY ARE STILL BUILDABLE LOTS BUT THEY DON'T MEET THE
CURRENT ZONING AND THEY ALL HAVE HOUSES ON THOSE.
THESE BLUE LOTS ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
AND CREATING TWO MORE IS INCONSISTENT WITH PALMA CEIA WEST
WHICH HAS 600 HOMES IF YOU EXPAND THAT OUT TO THE BORDERS OF
DALE MABRY AND MORRISON AVENUE.
THE PETITIONER AND STAFF WANT -- AND I AM QUOTING, TO RESTAB
THE PLATTED LOTS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE BLOCK FACE TO BE
CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS OF THE
BLOCK AS WELL AS THE MINIMUM LOT REQUIREMENTS FOR THE RES-6
LAND USE AND RS-75 ZONING DISTRICT ON PAGE 4.
THIS IS NONSENSE.
DEVELOPED AND SOLD WITH ONE LOT JUST LIKE ANY OTHER LOTS.
AND THIS WAS COMPLETELY OPPOSITE OF THE VERBIAGE IN THE 20
REPORT THAT YOU HAVE, WHICH SAYS, THE PROPOSED LOT SPLIT AND
CREATION OF TWO LOTS IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN OF THE SURROUNDED IMPACTED NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS IS FRANKLY JUST SPOT ZONING.
COUNCIL WAS LOOKING FOR LEGS ON THE STOOL.
YOU HAVE THESE NOW.
YOU HAVE ABBYE FEELEY'S REPORT WHICH IS ON POINT.
YOU HAVE THE COLOR MAP THAT YOU CAN SEE THE MUCH LARGER LOTS
ON FLORIDA THERE VERSUS THE GRANDFATHER LOTS THAT ARE BLUE.
THE TESTIMONY OF NEIGHBORS WHO ARE HERE TONIGHT THAT ARE
SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS IN THE COMP PLAN THAT STATES THAT THE
CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD MUST BE PROTECTED AND THEY
WILL SPEAK TO THAT.
AND FOURTH, THE 75-FOOT FRONTAGE HAS BEEN THERE FOR 60
YEARS.
AND IT HAVEN'T OPINION CHALLENGED -- IT HAS NO BEARING
REALLY.
SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY BEARING ON THIS PARTICULAR CASE.
ALL COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT YOU SHOULD
CONSIDER.
LASTLY, I WANT TO SAY, THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT LOTS AND
BUILT HOUSES IN PALMA CEIA WEST HAVE THE EXPECTATION AND
RIGHT TO HAVE THE RS-75 ZONING ENFORCED.
BUILT THE HOUSES TO FIT THE LOTS.
FOLLOWED THE CITY CODES IN THE RULES AND REGULATIONS.
THAT'S ALL WE ARE ASKING.
EVERYBODY FOLLOWS THE SAME RULES.
EVERYBODY FOLLOWS THE SAME RULES.
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA WAS A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER.
HE KNOW WHAT IS PLAYING BY THE RULES MEANS.
WITH THE EVIDENCE IN FRONT OF YOU AND IN THE RECORD, YOU
HAVE TO VOTE NO ON THIS REZONING.
I HEARD THE TERM "UNDERUTILIZATION" USED.
I DON'T SEE THAT ON THE MAP.
THESE LOTS ARE BIGGER -- WAY BIGGER THAN 55 FEET IF YOU LOOK
OUT ON IT.
THAT IS ALL I HAD TO SAY.
I DIDN'T NEED ALL THE EXTRA TIME.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THIS MAP
WORKS, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS CONFUSING AT THE FIRST
MEET WITH ALL THESE COLORS ON IT.
SO BLUE AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY MIND.
BECAUSE I AM COLOR-BLIND.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
05:45:33PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
NEXT, PLEASE.
I AM SORRY, SIR, YOU ARE GOING TO ADMIT THESE AS EVIDENCE.
YOU WANT US TO KEEP THESE AS EVIDENCE?
05:45:43PM >> YES, THEY ARE IN THE RECORD BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO
KEEP THOSE.
05:45:48PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
MISS BENNETT, IF YOU ARE READY.
05:46:22PM >>MORRIS MASSEY:
I THINK SHE IS ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL TIME
AS WELL.
IS IT JIM McMAHON?
05:46:30PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
PLEASE STAND OR WAVE.
THANK YOU, SIR.

05:47:04PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
SEVEN.
THANK YOU.
HI, MY NAME IS CARROLL ANN BENNETT AND A LIFE-LONG RESIDENT
OF SOUTH TAMPA.
LOOK AT THIS EVACUATION MAP.
LOOK AT SOUTH TAMPA.
MANDATORY EVACUATIONS OF ZONE A AND B.
AND GOD HELP US IF THEY EVACUATE ZONE C.
I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE REST OF THE CITY, A LOT OF
IT IN NOT IN AN EVACUATION ZONE AND THE AREAS THAT ARE, THEY
CAN GO IN LOTS OF DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS TO GET OUT.
SOUTH TAMPA CAN GO IN ONLY ONE DIRECTION AND ALL IN A
LOW EVACUATION ZONE.
THE COMP PLAN RECOGNIZE THIS IS AND EXPLICITLY SAYS SIX
LEVELS OF INTENSITY FOR DEVELOPMENT.
SOUTH TAMPA IS LEVEL ONE IN YELLOW.
NO CHANGE BECAUSE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITIES THAT WILL BE
COMPROMISED BY URBANIZATION.
HAS LIMITED ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES WHICH WILL
BE INEFFICIENT TO APPROVE.
LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES TO CREATE MORE COMMUNITY FACILITIES,
OPEN SPACES OR SERVICES, AND ON UNSTABLE AND FLOOD-PRONE
LAND.
THAT IS WHAT THE COMP PLAN SAYS.
THIS IS FROM CITY ATTORNEY GINA GRIMES.
COURTS ARE HAVE RULED NEVER THE LAW THAT A LAND OWN IS
ENTITLED TO THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF HIS HANDS AND THE
COURTS MAINTAIN THAT A ZONING CLASSIFICATION IS PRESUMED TO
BE VALID.
JEAN DUNCAN.ED AT THIS MAP AND TOLD COUNCIL THIS IS WHERE
TAMPA'S GROWTH MUST BE.
THIS IS WHERE IT MAKES SENSE.
THIS IS WHERE IT IS BENEFICIAL.
NOT IN SOUTH TAMPA.
RANDY GOERS SAYS A PART OF TAMPA OF CONCERN.
HE POINTED AT THREE PLANNING DISTRICTS THAT HAVE ROOM FOR
GROWTH -- HE -- THEY HAVE ROOM FOR GROWTH AND BENEFIT FROM
GROWTH AND NEEDED THE INVESTMENT BEING FUNNELED TO SOUTH
TAMPA INSTEAD.
HE WAS SO CONCERNED HE ADVOCATING FOR A MORATORIUM FOR
BUILDING SOUTH OF GANDY.
AND HE WAS NOT REWARDED FOR HIS HONESTY.
WITH KNEE MORE HOUSING BUT NOT TO PUT IT IN SOUTH TAMPA.
THE NUMBER OF TIMES THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE CITY
STAFF AND THE DEPARTMENT WANT TO DO SOMETHING, THEY CAN NOT.
THEY MUST ABIDE BY THE LANGUAGE IN THE COMP PLAN.
THE GREEN PAPER, EIGHT CITATIONS FROM THE COMP PLAN THAT
SAYS YOU MUST DENY THIS INCOMPATIBLE, INCONSISTENT, OUT OF
CHARACTER EXTREME LOT SPLIT.
THE SOL SHOW SUMS IT UP, MAINTAIN THE CURRENT CHARACTER AND
DENSITY AREAS.
AND PROTECT DENSITY OF SINGLE-FAMILY USE.
THIS IS A EXTREME LOT SPLIT BECAUSE 40 FEET SMALLER THAN THE
REQUIRED 150 FEET.
IT IS ONLY 110 FEET.
ADDITIONALLY, THEY WANT TO SKIP DOWN TWO EUCLIDIAN ZONING
CATEGORIES.
I NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.
THEY ARE ASKING YOU TO GO FROM RS-75, PAST RS-60 TO RS-50
AND NEED A COMP PLAN AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE LAND TOO.
THEY DID ONE HECK OF A WORK-AROUND BY ASKING FOR A PD.
YOU CAN SEE REMOVE RS-50 AND REPLACE WITH PD.
PDs ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE USED AS A LOOPHOLE FOR ZONING
LAW.
LIMIT THE USE OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REZONING.
THE CODE -- THE CODE MANDATED 1320 FEET ANALYSIS FOUND ONLY
9% WITH THE SIZE OF THIS REQUEST.
STAFF ALSO ANALYZED BOTH SIDES OF ONE BLOCK AND FOUND 57%
WERE LARGE, THE MAJORITY.
THEY COULD NOT FIND THE MAJORITY OF SMALL LOTS UNTIL THEY
ANALYZED ONE SIDE OF ONE BLOCK.
LEGAL CASES OFTEN REFER TO THE REASONABLE PERSON STANDARD.
THE REASONABLE PERSON WOULD THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT A
NEIGHBORHOOD IS ONLY ONE SIDES OF ONE BLOCK.
SOMEHOW, TWO OF THE THREE EVALUATIONS FOUND THE MAJORITY
LARGE LOT, STAFF DECIDED THAT THE THREE SMALL LOTS ON ONE
SIDES OF ONE BLOCK WAS MORE IMPORTANT AND OUTWEIGHED ALL THE
OTHER DATA EVEN THOUGH NOTHING IN THE CODE TO SUPPORT THAT
COMPLETELY ILLOGICAL CONCLUSION.
I WANT TO ASK YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS MAP HERE, ARE YOU
SAYING IF YOU TAKE YOUR KIDS FOR A BIKE RIDE, THERE IS LIKE
AN INVISIBLE FORCE FIELD HERE AND HERE AND DRIVE DOWN THE
STREET AND RIDE BACK AND RIDE BACK AND RIDE BACK.
WHEN YOU AT THAT DO IT, MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS AND ONLY SEE
ONE SIDE OF THE BLOCK.
THAT IS ALL THAT COUNTS.
THAT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD.
THAT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING THAT A REASONABLE PERSON WOULD
BELIEVE?
THE CODE FOR LOT SPLITS MANDATES THAT 1320 FEET MUST BE USED
TO DETERMINE THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND COMPATIBILITY.
NOTHING SAYING A BLOCK FACE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE
THERE IS NO BLOCK FACE.
BLOCK AVERAGING OF FRONT SETBACKS IS IN THE CODE, BUT IN A
DIFFERENT SECTION ONLY FOR FRONT SETBACKS IN EAST TAMPA AND
WEST TAMPA OVERLAYS.
IT IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT TO THIS.
I UNDERSTAND ALL NEIGHBORHOODS CAN'T BE THE SAME AND YOU
CAN'T ALWAYS GO 13 TO 20 FEET.
THEY MUST GET US AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE.
THE FINDING OF MAJORITY LARGE LOT CARRIES MORE WEIGHT THAN
OPTIONAL, NONSANCTIONED EVALERIE HORTON-RAKES SITUATIONS.
HERE IS COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
IN 2012, AN ATTEMPTED LOT SPLIT OF THE LOT CADDY CORNER OF
THIS ONE.
THE ONLY OTHER ATTEMPT MADE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOODS.
2012, ABBYE FEELEY FUNDS IT INCONSISTENT.
AND CITY COUNCIL, INCLUDING COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, VOTED IT
DOWN.
NO SMALL LOT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD SINCE
THE 1950s.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.
YOU CAN LISTEN WHAT ABBYE FEELEY HAD TO SAY.
ON THE FIRST PAGE OF HER REPORT IN THE PLANS SHE FOUND
INCONSISTENT, THEY WERE ASKING FOR 69-AND-A-HALF-FOOT LOTS.
THAT SON-IN-LAW FIVE-AND-A-HALF FEET SHORT OF WHAT IS
REQUIRED.
THIS IS 20 AND SHE SAID NO.
THIS IS 20 FEET OF THE REQUIREMENT.
ONLY 55-FOOT LOTS.
TODAY'S REQUESTED LOT IS -- OKAY.
I WANTS TO YOU LOOK AT THIS PAGE HERE.
SORRY.
LET'S COMPARE THE DATA.
THE LARGEST SAMPLE ONLY FOUND 9% OF THE LOTS WERE LESS THAN
60 FEET WHICH IS WHAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING.
30% ARE LESS THAN 75 FEET.
AS MISS FEELEY'S LARGEST SEGMENT, 38% IS LESS THAN 75 FEET
WHICH IS MORE THAN WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR TODAY AND SHE
COUNT IT INCONSISTENT BECAUSE THE MAJORITY DETERMINES OF
CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND ROUGHLY THE SAME BUT MISS FEELEY IT INCONSISTENT BECAUSE
THE MAJORITY RULES.
SMALL LOTS.
THE MAJORITY IS LARGE LOTS.
THE STAFF'S ANALYSIS OF BLOCK FACE 237 OF THE WITH UNBLOCK
OF CAMERON ON BOTH SIDES FOUND THAT THE MAJORITY OF -- THAT
67 -- OH, SHOOT.
57% WERE LARGE.
ABBYE FOUND DEFINITELY THE SAME THING.
ON THE BLOCK FACE ALONE IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT ABBYE FOUND
THAT THE SMALL LOTS WERE IN THE MAJORITY.
AND EVEN THOUGH SHE FOUND THAT, SHE STILL CONCLUDED IT WAS
INCONSISTENT.
I AM GOING TO READ FROM HER REPORT.
BLOCK 25 CONTAINS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND TWO LOTS OF LESS
THAN 75 FEET.
THAT IS ONLY THREE LOTS.
THREE LOTS.
THE STRUCTURES ON THOSE LOTS WERE CONSTRUCTED IN 1950 AND
'58.
BASED ON THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE SURROUNDING
PROPERTIES THE MAJORITY OF THE LOTS ARE TO THE
EXISTING RS-75 AND CREATION OF TWO LOTS ON A PD IS
INCONSISTENT.
FURTHERMORE, FOR THIS AREA, THERE HAS OPINION NO OTHER PDs
TO ESTABLISH LOTS OF 75 FEET.
THOSE STRUCTURES EXISTING ON LOTS OF 75 FEET WERE LEGAL
PRIOR TO THE ZONING CONFORMANCE AND THE CITY OF ZONING IN
1956.
THE PREDOMINANT PATTERN FOR THE SURROUNDING AREA IS
DESCRIBED -- AS DESCRIBED IS CONSISTENT WITH RS-75.
THERE ARE LOTS WITH LESS THAN 75, BUT THEY WERE PLOTTED
BEFORE 1987 AND 1956.
THEY WERE NOT CREATED THROUGH A REZONING OR A PD.
PURSUANT TO THE ANALYSIS OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS, THE
PREDOMINANT DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE SURROUNDING AREA IS
CONFORMING TO THE R-75 WITH THE LOT WIDTH OF 57 OR GREATER.
PROPOSED LOT SPLIT OF THE CREATION OF TWO LOTS IS
INCONSISTENT.
THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID, THE PREDOMINANT IS 75 OR MORE.
58% HAD 75 FEET.
NO REZONING IN THE AREA THAT HAS ANY OTHER LOTS.
SO EVERYTHING YOU SAW THERE WAS 1950, '55 AND '51.
REPRESENT THE FIRST SPLIT IN THE AREA.
NO PDs.
NO RS-75s AND NOTHING OF ZONING CONFORMANCE.
THE PATTERN IS CONSISTENT WITH ZONING AND STAFF FOUND THE
REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN
OF THE AN AREA.
I SEEK TO IMPLORE THE SAME STANDARD OF REVIEW ON EACH AND
EVERY CASE.
THE REDS OUTWEIGHED THE BLUES SO THAT IS WHAT I PRESENT TO
YOU.
I COULDN'T SAY IT BETTER MYSELF.
YEARS AGO, I HAD A DISPUTE WITH MISS FEELEY ABOUT TWO LOTS
SIX FEET SHORT OF THE REQUIREMENTS.
I NEVER FORGET WHAT SHE SAID.
WE MUST QUANTIFY THINGS.
IF WE DON'T QUANTIFY, IT BECOMES SUGGESTIVE AND WE HAVE
CHAOS.
AND THAT IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE.
THERE IS NO QUANTIFICATION OF THE DATA.
THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CODE ARE NOT BEING CONSIDERED.
YOU HAVE A SUBJECTIVE REPORT INSTEAD OF AN ANALYTICAL
REPORT.
AND YOU HAVE CHAOS.
THANK YOU.
05:57:16PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR HAND YOU HAVE TWO EXTRA MINUTES.
05:57:59PM >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBERS, MY NAME IS PETER KING.
I AM A RESIDENT OF PALMA CEIA WEST SINCE 2008, THE LAST 14
YEARS.
I AM THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK.
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THERE A LOT
LONGER THAN I HAVE, BUT I HAVE BECOME VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
I WALK IT DAILY WITH MY DOG, ANNIE.
WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
AS IT EXISTS RIGHT NOW.
SO I'M HERE TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CHARACTER OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
I AM ALSO GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY EXPECTANCY
WHEN I MOVED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO REFER BACK TO THE LOT PATTERN FOR
REZONING AND I WILL REITERATE A COUPLE OF POINTS.
MR. McNABB TALKED OF BLUE VERSUS RED.
THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF PARCELS IN THIS LOT PATTERN IS 214.
YOU SEE THAT RIGHT THERE.
THE LOTS BELOW 60 FEET FROM 21.
SO THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DREW ME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN I
WAS SHOPPING FOR PROPERTY THERE IN 2006 WAS THE PREDOMINANT
SIZE OF THE LOTS EXCEEDED, YOU KNOW, 65, 70, 75 FEET.
I LIKE THE LARGER LOTS.
NICE TREES ON THEM.
A NICE CANOPY OF OAKS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE ARE STARTING TO LOSE SOME OF THOSE WHICH IS REGRETTABLE,
BUT A LOT OF THAT BECAUSE OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS GOING
ON IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE ARE TRYING TO RETAIN THAT CHARACTER.
I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU TWO THINGS.
THIS IS MY LOT HERE.
I LIVE ON SAN OBISPO.
I HAVE A 100 X 100 LOT.
I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN.
WE NEEDED SPACE TO BUILD A BIGGER HOUSE.
WE KNOCKED DOWN THE HOUSE THERE.
WE BUILT A 3840-SQUARE-FOOT HOME.
WE LOVE IT.
WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS NEIGHBORS.
THE LOT ISSUE HERE IS 110 FEET.
SO ABOUT TEN FEET LARGER THAN OURS.
UP WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES OF WHAT A --
3840-SQUARE-FOOT HOUSE LOOKS LIKE ON A 100-FOOT LOT.
THIS IS MY BACK YARD.
THE TREE LINE HERE -- ALL THESE BIRDS AND ALL THESE PALMS
BACK HERE, THAT IS ON THE FENCE LINE.
THE EDGE OF THE POOL -- THERE IS ANNIE, BY THE WAY.
ON THE -- ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE POOL, I HAVE FOUR FEET TO
THE FENCE.
I HAVE A 12-FOOT POOL.
IT IS NOT LARGE.
WE HAVE MORE OR LESS TAKEN A 3840-SQUARE-FOOT HOUSE AND JAM
IT INTO A 100-FOOT LOT, OKAY.
YOU CAN SEE HERE ANOTHER PHOTO FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE SHOWS
THE FENCE LINE IN THE BACK.
WE DID OBTAIN AN ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE OF FIVE PEOPLE ON
THE SAN OBISPO SIDE.
WE WERE GRANTED THAT AND THIS IS WHERE THE GARAGE EXTENDS.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE ROOM ON THE OUTSIDE.
AT THE WOULD NEED A SIGNIFICANT VARIANCE TO DO THAT.
THIS IS THE FRONT OF THE HOME.
A 25-FOOT SETBACK.
THAT IS CODE.
WE FILLED IT UP.
ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE HOUSE OVER HERE, WE HAVE THE
SEVEN-FOOT SETBACK.
SO WE HAVE USED EVERY AVAILABLE FOOT OF THE LOT TO BUILD A
3840-SQUARE-FOOT HOME ON IT.
THIS IS THE SHOT FROM THE FRONT -- DOWN THE FRONT.
SO -- AND I DO HAVE COPIES OF THESE WHICH I WOULD LIKE -- I
WILL GIVE YOU THESE IN A SECONDS.
MY POINT IS, WHAT I AM HEARING FROM THE PETITIONER IS
PLANNED FOR 56 OR 5700-SQUARE-FOOT HOMES.
THAT IS HALF, AGAIN, BIGGER THAN MY HOME ON LOTS THAT ARE
HALF THE SIZE.
SO WHEN WE ARE TALKING OF CHARACTER OF A NEIGHBORHOOD, WE
ARE TALKING A LOT ABOUT PROPORTIONALITY.
WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKS LIKE.
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE.
WHAT WE ARE GOING TO GET ARE TWO DON CESARS PLOPPED RIGHT IN
THIS LITTLE BLOCK
I WAS VERY INTERESTED TO HEAR THE PETITIONER AS WELL AS THE
STAFF FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON THE ONE BLOCK RIGHT HERE.
THAT IS THEIR ARGUMENT.
THAT IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THIS ONE LITTLE BLOCK HERE.
WHAT THEY DON'T WANT TO YOU LOOK AT IS THE ENTIRE LOT
PATTERN.
AND YOU CAN SEE ALL THE RED.
THERE ARE TONS OF IT.
90-PLUS PERCENT OF THOSE LOTS ARE -- ARE NOT BLUE.
SO WE ARE TRYING TO AVOID MORE BLUE LOTS, BECAUSE IT
DETRACTS FROM THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
.DETRACTS FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND GOING TO
RESULTS IN FEWER TREES.
IT WILL RESULT IN MORE TRAFFIC.
I HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT NINE PARKING SPACES FOR TWO HOMES.
THAT SEEMS EXCESSIVE TO ME, BUT THAT IS THEIR PLAN.
I BOUGHT MY LOT, I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I LIKE THE SIZE OF THE
LOTS.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO AWARD THIS PETITION, WHAT'S NEXT.
WHERE ARE WE GOING NEXT?
BEACH PARK?
SUNSET PARK?
HYDE PARK?
GRAY GABLES?
THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE IF YOU GRANT THIS ONE, HOW
ARE YOU GOING TO DENY THE NEXT ONE.
THANK YOU.
06:03:05PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
I LIVE IN THE 4,000 BLOCK OF SAN CARLOS.
MY BIG CONCERN IS ACTUALLY YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THIS
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT UP 11,000 SQUARE FOOT OF HOME, MULTIPLE
DRIVEWAYS.
MULTIPLE HARD SURFACES.
UP PERVIOUS.
WE IN SOUTH TAMPA -- AND THE CITY IS AWARE OF THIS -- HAS
FOREVER HAD FLOODING.
A LOW-LYING LOW GRADE AREA.
NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.
THE LOWER THE GRADE, THE SLOWER THE WATER RUNOFF.
HIGHER THE GRADE, THE FASTER THE WATER RUNOFF.
NOTHING WE CAN TO DO STOP IT FROM FLOODING.
THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL GIVE HARD SURFACES, IMPREFERIOUS AND
NOWHERE FOR THE WATER TO GO.
THIS MY HOUSE, THE INTERSECTION OF SAN CARLOS AND GRADY AND
THE FLOODING THAT TAKES PLACE WITH NORMAL EVACUATION ZONE
RAINS.
IMAGINE MORE PRECEDENTS OF ALL THIS PLANS DEVELOPMENT WITH
LESS PERVIOUS SURFACES WITH NOWHERE FOR THE WITH A YOU ARE
TO GO.
WE WILL FLOOD SOUTH TAMPA ALREADY.
ALREADY THE HOUSES -- MINE BUILT IN 1954.
HAVE ISSUE WITH FLOODING WHEN WE HAVE THE HEAVY RAINS.
MAKE IT MUCH WORSE AND EXACERBATES THE SITUATION.
THE CITY KNOW SOUTH TAMPA FLOODS.
THIS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OF 11,000-SQUARE-FOOT HOUSING WITH
SIDEWALKS AND STREETS.
NO PLACE FOR THE WATER TO GO.
YOU WILL FLOOD US OUT.
WE CAN'T HAVE THIS CONTINUE.
MY SECONDS ISSUE IS SAN CARLOS HAS NO SIDEWALKS.
THE CITY SAT ONE TIME SAID DEVELOPERS WHEN THEY BULLDOZE AND
PUT UP NEW HOUSES, THEY WILL PUT IN SIDEWALKS.
THAT HAVEN'T HAPPENED.
I DON'T KNOW WHY.
SOME HAVE AND SOME HAVE PENTAGON HAVEN'T.
WE HAVE TO WALK DOWN THE STREET.
NINE PARKING SPOTS.
LIMITED NUMBER CARS.
BETWEEN SAN MARCOS AND SAN CARLOS.
PLANT HIGH, THEY HAD TO PUT A STOP SIGN AT A CHURCH IN SAN
CARLOS JUST TO STOP THE TRAFFIC ENOUGH TO HAVE THE CHILDREN
SAFELY GET TO SCHOOL.
WE NEED A SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD.
A NONFLOODING NEIGHBORHOOD.
IF THE CITY APPROVES THIS, WE WON'T HAVE THIS.
THANK YOU.
06:05:33PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
NEXT, PLEASE.
GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN, COUNCILMEMBERS.
BOB ABBERGER, AND I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN AND SOME NEW FACES.
I SERVE AS THE ZONING CHAIR FOR DAVIS ISLAND CIVIC
ASSOCIATION AND I'M HERE WITH THE AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD TO
LENDS OUR VOICE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS ZONING CHANGES TO
A PD.
I DON'T LEND MY VOICE LIGHTLY TO THESE MATTERS.
I REVIEWED THE FILE EXTENSIVELY AND I DID THE HOMEWORK.
AND I WILL TELL YOU, I THINK THE GOOD NEWS HERE THAT YOU
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE FRESH LOOK AT THIS.
I FOUND WHEN I DID THE DEEP HOMEWORK THAT THE EVIDENCE TO
FIND IT INCONSISTENT WAS COMPELLING.
AND THE EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT BASICALLY WAS A CLOISTER OF
HISTORICAL BAD PLANS AND BAD PRECEDENT REALLY ONLY TWO
CONSIDERATIONS I WILL ASK YOU TO LEAN UPON AND THE FIRST
REALLY IS THE PANDORA'S BOX SETTING PRECEDENT.
AGAIN, ALL OF THE OTHER 50s AND SUB ARE FROM THE 1950s
GRANDFATHERED IN.
THERE ARE A LOT OF NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO BE
CHOMPING AT THE BIT TO DO EXACTLY THIS.
THE SECOND THING AND THE OTHER SPEAKERS HAVE SPOKEN WELL TO
IT.
BUT I HEARD BACK IN -- WHAT WAS IT, 2012, I HAD A CHANCE TO
CHAIR THE ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS TASK FORCE FOR MAYOR
BUCKHORN AND YOU ALL.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE TRIED TO GET IN THAT REPORT AND DID NOT
ACHIEVE THE CONCEPT THAT THE LAND USE CODE WILL INNOCENT
WHERE IT BELONGS AND DISINCENT IT WHERE IT IS NOT.
WHERE THERE IS ROADWAY CAPACITY, TRANSIT OR PLANS FOR
ROADWAY CAPACITY IN TRANSIT.
IT DOES NOT BELONG AS EFFECTIVELY -- THIS REQUEST IS
REQUESTING A DENSITY CREDIT.
AND NOT IN THE AREA OF PRIMARY EVACUATION ROUTES AND LOW
LYING LANDS.
TONIGHT YOU HAVE THESE FOLKS APPEARING TO YOU TO PROTECT THE
CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH THEY INVESTED IN.
AND I'M HERE TO APPEAL TO YOU TO NOT SET PRECEDENT THAT SOON
WILL BE KNOCKING AT MY DOOR IN DAVIS ISLAND.
THANK YOU.
06:07:59PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:

06:08:05PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
EXCUSE ME, COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
06:08:09PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THANK YOU LET US DO THIS REMOTELY.
CAN YOU PLEASE CHAIR WITH US YOUR PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
AND EXPERIENCE ALSO?
06:08:16PM >> YES.
I WAS A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPER RUNNING A COMPANY FOR 20 YEARS
FOR THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
I AM A COMMERCIAL BROKER LEAD AP.
MORTGAGE BROKER.
I LEFT AND LED MR. VINIC'S ASSEMBLAGE AND MASTER PLANNING
BEFORE BECOME HARD-CORE UNEMPLOYED AND RETIRED.
06:08:36PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THANK YOU.
06:08:38PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
NEXT, PLEASE.
MY NAME IS PAM CANELA.
I OPPOSE THE REZONING OF 4111 SAN CARLOS.
MOST OF THE POLICIES, OBJECTIVES AND GOALS USED BY STAFF TO
SUPPORT THIS DEVELOPMENTS ARE JUST NUMBERS.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW IS THAT OUR TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN, OUR CITY ORDINANCE, AND FLORIDA STATUTES FIRST
PRIORITY IN ITS GOALS, POLICIES AND OBJECTIVE IS TO PROTECT
THE SAFETY AND WELFARE AND THE QUALITIES OF LIFE OF THE
RESIDENTS OF ITS NEIGHBORHOODS.
ALSO, TO PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN
KEEPING WITH THE INTEGRITY AND THE CHARACTER OF THE
NEIGHBORHOODS.
THIS PROPOSAL FOR REZONING DOES NONE OF THAT.
IT IS NOT ABOUT RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT.
IT'S ABOUT THE DEVELOPER MAXIMIZING HIS PROFITS
THIS IS NO THE A HARDSHIP.
THE CURRENT ZONING ALLOWS HIM TO BUILD WITH PROFIT.
AS THE OTHER DEVELOPER HAVE DONE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT IS OUR RIGHT TO EXPECT THE INTEGRITY AND CHARACTER OF OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD TO REMAIN WITHOUT CHANGE.
IT IS OUR RIGHT TO EXPECT OUR CITY TO ENFORCE AND PROTECT
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN TO LIVE IN BECAUSE
THESE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES ARE WRITTEN IN OUR
TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, OUR CITY OF TAMPA ORDINANCE AND
OUR FLORIDA STATUTES.
THANK YOU.
06:10:23PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
NEXT, PLEASE.
06:10:28PM >> HI, CINDY FARIAS.
I LIVE IN THE PALMA CEIA NEIGHBORHOOD FOR 23 YEARS.
ONE OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS BECAUSE
OF THE LOT SIZES.
I LIVE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE LOT THAT THE OWNER IS
TRYING TO SPLIT.
TEN YEARS AGO, I CAME BEFORE THE COUNCIL TO UPHOLD THE COMP
PLAN FOR MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE ANOTHER ACROSS THE STREET
NEIGHBOR WANTED TO SPLIT THAT LOT.
AT THAT TIME ROAR THE COUNCIL UPHELD THE COMP PLAN AND DID
NOT ALLOW THE LOT TO BE SPLIT.
IN FACT, I KNOW OF NO OTHER LOT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS
EVER BEEN DIVIDED SINCE -- SINCE THAT NIGHT 2012.
MY OBSERVANCE THAT ONCE THIS IS ALLOWED IT SETS A PRECEDENCE
FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW SUIT.
THE COMP PLAN HAS NOT CHANGED.
THE COMP PLAN POLICIES REQUIRE AND, I QUOTE, CAREFUL
CONSIDERATION OF ADVERSE IMPACTS TO SURROUNDING
NEIGHBORHOODS.
IT STATES THAT THE CITY SHOULD PROTECT LOW DENSITY
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AREAS INCLUDING DENSITY
CHARACTERISTICS AND MAINTAIN THE CURRENT DENSITY OF SINGLE
AREAS.
THIS PROJECT INFRINGES UPON MULTIPLE COMP PLAN LU POLICIES.
SPLITTING THIS LOT ALLOWS FOR DOUBLING THE HOUSING.
IF THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, OUR LOW DENSITY, SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL AREA WILL NO LONGER BE LOW DENSITY.
AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, THE PLANS FOR THE NEW HOMES ARE FOR
TWO HOUSE THAT ARE EACH OVER 57,000 -- 55,570 SQUARE FEET.
THEY HAVE FOUR, MAYBE FIVE DRIVEWAYS EXITING ON TO THE MAIN
ROAD.
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS ONLY A FEW SIDEWALKS.
RIGHT NOW WHEN PEOPLE WALK AND BICYCLE WITH THEIR FAMILIES
DOWN THE STREET, THEY USE THE MAIN ROAD.
IF THIS TRENDS IS ALLOWED TO START, THE SAFETY OF OUR
FAMILIES IS AT STAKE.
THE INTEGRITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS WILL BE COMPROMISED.
ONE OF THE REASONS YOU DO THE WORK YOU DO IS TO PROTECT OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
I KNOW THAT OUR FINE CITY IS CHANGE IN MANY WAYS.
WITH THESE CHANGES, NEW RULES AND REGULATIONS WILL BE MADE.
UNTIL THEN, THE RULES WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED
SHOULD BE MAINTAINED.
THEREFORE, I AM ASKING YOU TO UPHOLD THE COMP PLAN THAT IS
IN EFFECT TODAY AND DENY THE REZONING OF THE PROPERTY.
THANK YOU.
06:13:02PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK THIS EVENING.
MY NAME IS ALAN MASON.
I LIVE IN THE PALMA CEIA WEST NEIGHBORHOOD.
MY WIFE AND I MOVED TO THE TAMPA BAY AREA FOR A CAREER
OPPORTUNITY.
WE LOOKED AT HOMES IN SPARTANBURG, CLEARWATER, PALM HARBOR,
RIVERVIEW AND OTHER PLACES IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AND TAMPA.
WE ALWAYS CAME BACK TO OUR FIRST CHOICE, SOUTH TAMPA.
BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOODS.
GREAT SCHOOLS ALL CLOSE BY.
OUTSTANDING WALKING, RUNNING AND BIKING NEIGHBORHOODS WITH
CONVENIENT ACCESS TO SHOPPING, DOWNTOWN AMENITIES,
RECREATION, THE AIRPORT AND ALL OF THIS CENTRALLY LOCATED TO
THE REST OF THE TAMPA BAY REGION.
THAT IS WHY WE BOUGHT OUR NEW HOME IN SOUTH TAMPA.
I WALK AND RUN IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DAILY.
I HAVE BEEN AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF NEW HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN
BUILT IN SOUTH TAMPA OVER THE PAST SIX OR SEVEN YEARS,
ALMOST EVERY ONE ON AN EXISTING LOT, AS FAR AS I COULD TELL.
CONTINUING AT A RAPID PACE TO THIS DAY.
AND SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCING PROPERTY VALUES AND THE TAX
BREAK.
THE PRECEDENT THAT IS IN SOUTH TAMPA APPEARS TO BE
SUCCESSFUL AND WHY CHANGE WHAT IS WORKING AND WHY DO IT BY
SETTING A NEW PRECEDENT THAT WILL SURELY LEAD TO MORE
REQUESTS TO SPLIT LOTS IN THE FUTURE.
WHY RISK CHANGING THE CHARACTER OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
POTENTIALLY CUTTING DOWN TREES, INCREASING TRAFFIC,
OVERLOADING EXISTING SCHOOLS CHANGING THE DENSITY, IDENTIFY
AND LIVABILITY OF NEIGHBORHOODS THAT AFFECTS THE TAMPA COMP
PLAN.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THANK YOU TO COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO AND
CARLSON FOR VOTING AGAINST THE ZONING CHANGE AT THE JUNE
MEETING.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK THE REST OF OUR COUNCILMEMBERS TO
RECONSIDER YOUR VOTES TO APPROVE THIS SPLIT LOT ZONING
REQUEST TO VOTE UNPRECEDENTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE PALMA
CEIA WEST NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR CITY.
FOR YOUR TIME, ATTENTION A AND CONSIDERATION.
PLEASE VOTE NO.
06:15:18PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
NEXT PLEASE.
06:15:23PM >> I AM HEIDI GUSTAFSON.
SAN CARLOS STREET DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE
PROJECT BEING DISCUSSED.
MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY FOR 100
YEARS.
MY GREAT GRANDFATHER WAS A READER IN THE YBOR CITY FACTORY AND
MY FAMILY SETTLED IN BEACH PARKS IN THE 1940s.
I'M HERE TO DEFEND THE CURRENT ZONING AT 4111 WEST SAN
CARLOS.
I SPENT MY ENTIRE LIFE IN SOUTH TAMPA AND THE PETITION TO
DIVIDE THIS LOT GREATLY CONCERNS ME.
MY CHILDREN WAS BORN IN THE D.C. AREA AND DECISION TO RETURN
HOME TO TAMPA BASED ON THE DESIRE TO RAISE MY CHILDREN.
THE D.C. AREA AND TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND RESULTING CONCRETE
AND SAFETY ISSUES THAT COME WITH THAT IS SOMETHING I
DECIDEDLY DID NOT WANT FOR HIM.
SOUTH TAMPA'S ZONING IN LARGER LOTS ABUNDANCE OF GREEN SPACE
AND SHADE, SAFE WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOODS, FREE OF CONGESTION
AND A TRUE SUBURBAN FEEL.
DECISION INDUSTRY TOSSING THIS LOT WILL EFFECT THE
INTEGRITIES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WAS ESTABLISHED 60
YEARS AGO.
ALLOWING 12,000 SQUARE FEET OF LIVING SPACE TO BE BUILT ON A
LOT NEVER INTENDED AND NEVER ZONED FOR AGGRESSIVE
DEVELOPMENT.
UNPRECEDENTED AND UNWANTED DENSITY WILL BE BRING TO PALMA
CEIA WEST.
THE ESTABLISHMENTS OF THE COMP PLAN OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S
CHARACTER.
ADDITIONALLY THE EVER-PRESENT ISSUE OF STORMWATER RUNOFF,
PROPER DRAINAGE AND FLOODING.
ONE OF THE CENTRAL REASONS I MOVED TO PALMA CEIA WEST IS THE
WATER MITIGATION WAS MORE FAVORABLE THAN SUNSET PARK.
EVEN TO I INVESTED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN MY CURRENT HOME
TO MITIGATE FLOODING ISSUES AND STILL HAVE WORK TO DO.
WILL PERMANENT LEAP COVER LAND DESPERATELY NEEDED FOR WATER
BE A SOX AND THOSE AFFECTED BY THE MANMADE RUNOFF ARE THE
NEIGHBORS WITH NEWER BUILDS AND OLDER HOMES.
TO WORK WITH THE DESIGN GUIDELINES TO MAINTAIN THE NEEDED
GREEN SPACE FOR THE OVERALL GOOD FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
OUR NEIGHBORHOODS WERE ALMOST DEVELOPED 100 YEARS AGO TO
ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN AN IDENTITY.
A SUBURBAN OASIS OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES OF GREEN SPACES AND
TREES WHERE NEIGHBORS CAN SHARE COFFEE AND CONVERSATION
WHILE THEY WALK THEIR DOGS AND WATCH THEIR CHILDREN PLAY.
WE KNOW THAT TAMPA'S POPULATION IS INCREASING DAILY AND TH
OPPORTUNITIES TO ALLOW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT THOSE BEFORE US SO MUCH TO CREATE.
I STRONGLY URGE TO YOU VOTE AGAINST THIS PROPOSE READY HE
ZONING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
06:18:04PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
06:18:20PM >> HELLO, I AM JOANNE MCNABB. AND I LIVED IN PALMA CEIA
WEST AND I HAVE BEEN ACTIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
ASSOCIATION -- SORRY, I HAVE EXTRA MINUTES HERE.
06:18:44PM >>MORRIS MASSEY:
ARISA CANELLA.
06:18:59PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
PLEASE STAND OR WAVE.
06:19:03PM >>MORRIS MASSEY:
GAYE JONES, THANK YOU.
06:19:06PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
TWO EXTRA MINUTES.
I WILL START AGAIN.
I LIVED IN PALMA CEIA WEST, AND I HAVE BEEN ACTIVE DELIVERING
NEWSLETTERS, NOTICES AND WALKING THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ALL OF
THOSE YEARS.
I AM AN EXPERT ON THE CHARACTER OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
ON ALL THESE YEARS WE NEVER HAD A REZONING TO DIVIDE A
PARCEL APPROVED.
I HAVE ATTENDED HEARINGS FOR DIFFERENT REASONS AND I THANK
YOU COUNCILMEMBERS FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY OF TAMPA.
I WASN'T SURE WE WOULD BE ALLOW TO REFERENCE THE FIRST
MEETING BUT I HAVE HEARD QUITE A FEW REFERENCES TO IT.
I ALSO ATTENDED THE FIRST READING OF THIS REQUEST ON JUNE 9
AND I WANT TO THANK COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO FOR TAKING THE
TIME TO LOOK AT CITY CODES AND POLICIES ON THE PAPER IN
FRONT OF YOU TO MAKE HIS INFORMED DECISION TO DENY THIS
REQUEST FOR REZONING AND HE WAS SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN
CARLSON.
THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.
THOSE CODES REQUIRE THAT THE COMPLETE CHARACTER OF A
NEIGHBORHOOD BE CONSIDERED BEFORE REZONING IS GRANTED.
THAT CHARACTER IS DETERMINED BY GOING OUTS 1320 FEET INTO
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
NOT JUST BY LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT BLOCK.
HENCE THE BLOCK COLORED MAP GENERATED BY THE CITY PLANNING
AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
I DO BELIEVE THAT THE MAJORITY OF COUNCILMEMBERS AT THAT
FIRST HEARING MISUNDERSTOOD THAT MAP AND THOUGHT THAT BLUE,
YELLOW AND RED BLOCKS WERE COMPATIBLE WITH THE REZONING
REQUEST.
CITY STAFF'S TRANSCRIPT SHOWS THAT MR. HUSSEIN EVEN KIND OF
SLOUGHED THROUGH A LOOK AT THE MAP AND TOLD YOU ALL THAT HERE
YOU SEE RED, BLUE, YELLOW AND SEE HOW IT IS ALL COMPATIBLE
AND DIDN'T DELINEATE THE DIFFERENCE AS WE HAVE BEEN TRYING
TO TELL YOU THAT THERE IS ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE THAT ARE
THE BLUE LOTS.
THE REST ARE ALL LARGER.
IT IS LESS THAN 10% AND SO THAT IS NOT COMPATIBILITY.
OKAY.
AND AM I ALLOWED TO ASK COUNCIL A QUESTION?
06:21:10PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
NO, MA'AM.
06:21:11PM >> OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
SOME OF US MET WITH CITY STAFF, AND THEY TOLD US THAT THE
TERM "BLOCK FACE" IS NOT IN THE CODE.
AND ONE STAFFER EVEN SAID THAT THEY STARTED WITH A MICRO
LOOK AT THE SUBJECT BLOCK.
AND MOVED OUT FROM THAT.
WHICH ALSO IS AGAINST CODE.
YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO LOOK AT THE WHOLE 1320.
SO I AM JUST REALLY CONCERNED THAT THAT ONE STATEMENT ABOUT
BLOCK FACE AND IT IS ONLY THE EAST SIDE OF SOUTH CAMERON IS
WHAT IS DETERMINING THEIR PETITION THAT IT IS CONSISTENT.
IT JUST -- IT JUST -- IT DOESN'T FIT.
WHEN THE OTHER TWO STATEMENTS BOTH CONFIRM THAT THERE WERE
LARGER LOTS ALSO COME COMMENTS FROM THE PETITIONER THAT THE
LOT SPLIT WAS THE SAME AS THE TWO LOTS THAT IT BACKS UP TO.
THESE NOR THE SAME.
THOSE LOTS WERE GRANDFATHERED IN WITH THE 75 FEET ZONING
WENT IN.
ONE HAS BEEN WITH A FAMILY FOR THREE GENERATIONS AND A NEW
HOUSE.
NOT 5670 SQUARE FEET NOR DOES HAVE HAVE TWO DOUBLE DRIVEWAYS
AND A CIRCLE DRIVEWAY.
THE SAME ONE NEXT DOOR.
IT IS NOT LARGE EITHER.
THEY ARE CONCERNING AND DO NOT FIT THE CHARACTER OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE HOMES IN THIS PROJECT WILL BE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR HOMES
AND DO NOT HELP WITH THE HOUSING CRISIS IN TAMPA THE
ORIGINAL PLATTED LOTS, THE MAP THAT IS ON THE SECOND PAGE OF
THE REVISED FORM FROM THE CITY PLANNERS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE
CONSIDERED HERE.
IT IS NOT -- IT IS FROM 100 YEARS AGO.
IT IS NOT THE WAY THE LOTS ARE BEING USED NOW.
THE COLOR MAP TELLS YOU HOW THE LOTS ARE BEING USED NOW.
WE ALSO HAVE CONCERNS FOR FLOODING.
WE DO NOT HAVE CURBS.
WATER COLLECTS AND SITS.
SOME OF THE OUTFLOWS ARE NOT WHERE THE WATER RUNS.
AS IVY TOLD YOU, SHE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY AT HER HOUSE.
MY FAMILY HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN MITIGATION
SINCE WE ARE THE LOW YARD FOR THREE BLOCKS AROUND US.
DECREASING THE PERCOLATING GROUND BY DIVIDE THIS LOT WILL
CAUSE MORE FLOODING.
WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO A NEW BUILD ON THIS PROPERTY, BUT TWO
LARGE HOUSES ON TWO SMALLER LOTS WILL CAUSE UNDO HARDSHIP
WITH REGARD TO FLOODING, INCREASED TRAFFIC IS, MORE
DRIVEWAYS AND A FEELING OF DENSITY THAT IS NOT IN CHARACTER.
PLEASE, AGAIN -- EXCUSE ME -- REFER TO THE LEVEL ONE NO
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE COMP PLAN.
THAT IS US.
THAT IS SOUTH TAMPA THE LETTER FROM THE BUILDER SAID THIS IS
TO BE DEVELOPED AS A FAMILY MULTIGENERATIONAL HOMESTEAD.
SQUEEZING TWO HOUSES ON ONE LOT TO MAKE A FAMILY COMPOUND IS
NOT COMPATIBLE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE APPLICANT KNEW WHAT THE ZONING WAS WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS
PURCHASED.
WE WANT YOU TO PROTECT OUR PROPERTY RIGHTS ALSO.
THANK YOU.
06:24:11PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
06:24:12PM >> GOOD EVENING, I AM KATHY DUEFFER.
I LIVE IN PALMA CEIA WEST FOR 16 YEARS.
IN SOUTH TAMPA FOR 22 YEARS.
WE ARE -- WE ARE RETIRED MILITARY FAMILY.
WE HAVE LIVED ALL OVER THE WORLD.
WE CHOSE TO LIVE IN SOUTH TAMPA.
I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH MY NEIGHBORHOOD AS I WALK IT EVERY
DAY.
I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES.
PROGRESS IS EVERYWHERE.
PROGRESS IS NOT BAD.
LOT SPLITS LIKE THIS ONE ERODE THE CHARACTER OF OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT INCREASES TRAFFIC.
LOSS OF GREEN SPACE.
THERE IS AN INCREASE WATER RUNOFF.
THEN AN INCREASE OF FLOODING.
THE 75-FOOT ZONING NEEDS TO BE IN PLACE FOR EVERYONE.
WE CHOSE TO BUY A HOME IN SOUTH TAMPA BECAUSE OF THE GREAT
FEATURES.
WE HAD OUR GRANDCHILDREN LIVE WITH US FOR MANY YEARS.
THEY HAD LOTS OF SPACE TO PLAY.
IT WAS EASY TO WALK OR BIKE TO THE PARK, TO THE SCHOOLS, TO
THE STORE.
WE EXPECT THE CHARACTERISTICS AND THE DENSITY OF OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE PROTECTED BY THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPECT AND PRESERVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD
THAT WE CHOSE TO LIVE IN.
OLDER HOMES ARE NOW BEING TORN DOWN.
THEY ARE BEING REPLACED BY BIGGER HOMES ON THEIR ORIGINAL
LOT.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW THE LOTS THAT ARE SMALLER
THAN 75 FEET ARE GRANDFATHERED IN BECAUSE THEY WERE BOUGHT
AND BUILT IN THE '50s, BEFORE THE 75-FOOT ZONING.
THERE ARE VERY FEW OF THEM.
LET'S -- LET IT STAY THAT WAY.
FEW -- FEWER, 55.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO PRESERVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SPACE.
IF YOU APPROVE THE SPLIT OF THIS 110-FOOT LOT, IT WILL GO
AGAINST THE 75-FOOT ZONING.
IT IS IN PLACE TO PRESERVE OUR CURRENT LEVEL OF LIVING
SPACE, GREEN SPACE, TRAFFIC FLOW AND SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT.
PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW A LOT SPLIT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
THE FUTURE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOW IN YOUR HANDS.
06:27:06PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
06:27:07PM >>MORRIS MASSEY:
DUFER.
IF YOU ARE IN THE ROUX THE ROOM, RAISE YOUR HAND.
THANK YOU.
MIKE FANNING.
THANK YOU.
AND JEREMY KRUEGER.
THANK YOU.
06:27:35PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THREE EXTRA MINUTES.
THANK YOU.
GOOD EVENING, NELSON BOSQUE.
A RESIDENT OF PALMA CEIA WEST.
THE REGISTERED OWNER OF 4111 WEST SAN CARLOS STREET LIVES
AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HERE.
HE HAS OWNED PROPERTY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SINCE THE 1990s.
HE IS WELL AWARE THAT THE LOT WAS -- THAT PALMA CEIA WEST
CONSISTS OF LARGER LOTS.
THEY ARE NOT BEING DENIED ANY RIGHTS THAT THEY ARE ENTITLED
TO.
THEY ARE ASKING FOR A SPECIAL FAVOR AND EXCEPTION TO THE
RULES THAT HAVE EXISTED FOR THE PAST 66 YEARS.
THEY ARE SEEKING REZONING OF THIS LOT FOR FINANCIAL REASONS
AND NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
EVER SINCE I MOVED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE HOUSE THAT WAS
ON THAT LOT WAS IN DISREPAIR.
I AM TALKING OVERGROWN LANDSCAPING, BOARDED UP WINDOWS,
ABANDONED CARS ON THE PROPERTY.
DEBRIS IN THE FRONT PORCH.
WINDOW AC UNITS BECAUSE THE CENTRAL AC UNIT WAS NOT WORKING.
I SAY THIS BECAUSE THE OWNER HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO
LEVEL THE HOUSE THAT WAS ON THE LOT.
BECAUSE IT WAS BEYOND.
IT WAS POSSIBLY INHABIT BIBLE.
IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE AREA THAT THIS BOARD MUST
CONSIDER IN ORDER TO APPROVE OR DENY THIS REZONING
CONSISTENCY OF A QUARTER OF AN ACRE OF AN ACRE 1320 FEET
FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND I BELIEVE IT TOTALS AROUND 214
HOMES.
THIS IS IT.
I HAVE STUDY THIS AREA AND APPEARS TO ME LESS THAN 10% OF
THE HOME IN THIS SUBJECT AREA HAVE A FRONTAGE OF 55 FEET.
THAT SUBJECT AREA -- THAT --
06:29:23PM >> CAN YOU TURN THAT AROUND?
IT IS UPSIDE DOWN.
06:29:26PM >> YES.
THAT WOULD MEAN THAT OVER 90% OF THE LOTS HAVE A FRONTAGE OF
OVER 55 FEET.
WHILE I HAVE NOT STUDIED ENTIRE PALMA CEIA WEST AREA, THE
PERCENTAGES OF LOTS 55 FEET OR UNDER WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY
LESS IN THE ENTIRE HOMEOWNERS AREA.
THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS OVERWHELMINGLY BIG LOTS
WITH GREEN SPACE AND MATURE SHADED TREES.
CADDY CORNER IS 4402 SAN CARLOS AND BIGGER THAN 113 X 139
AND SUBJECT LOT 110 X 139.
TEN YEARS AGO THIS COUNCIL VOTED AGAINST THE REZONING OF
THIS LOT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT CONSISTENT OR COMPATIBLE WITH
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AS I MENTIONED THAT LOT WAS A LITTLE BIGGER THAN THE ONE YOU
ARE CONSIDERING TODAY.
THAT DENIAL WAS RIGHT THEN AND RIGHT TODAY.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
I KNOW THIS IS NOT A HEARING ON STORMWATER OR DRAINAGE, I DO
WANT TO POINT OUT INTO CHANGING THE FRONT FOOTPRINT OF THIS
LOT WILL UNDOUBTEDLY IMPACT DRAINAGE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND
OUR HOMES.
IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT FROM CONTRACTORS THAT I KNOW
THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA HAS BEEN DENYING SOME PERMITS DUE TO
DRAINAGE ISSUES, PARTICULARLY IN SOUTH TAMPA.
KEEPING GREEN SPACE IS IMPORTANT TO SOUTH TAMPA DUE TO
FLOODING.
PLACING TWO HOMES WITH A TOTAL OF FOUR DOUBLE DRIVEWAYS ON
THIS ONE LOT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF GREEN
SPACE THIS LOT HAS AND AS IT WAS DESIGNED IN THE 1960s.
WHILE I KNOW THIS IS NOT A SCHOOL BOARD HEARING, I WANTS TO
TELL YOU THAT ADDING HOMES TO THE ZONING OF MABRY, COLEMAN
AND PLATT WILL ALREADY HURT THOSE OVERCROWDED SCHOOLS.
I KNOW FIRSTHAND BECAUSE I HAVE CHILDREN WHO GO OR HAVE GONE
TO THOSE SCHOOLS.
I AM ACTIVE IN THE PARENT-TEACHER ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER
BOARDS OF THOSE SCHOOLS AND TELL YOU AT PLATT, FOR EXAMPLE,
STUDENTS THAT ARRIVE A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE BELL RING ARE
NOT CONSIDERED TARDY DUE TO THE FACT THAT TEACHERS AND
ADMINISTRATORS UNDERSTAND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO NAVIGATE THE
HALLS.
AT PLANT, A PORTION OF THE LIBRARY IS CLOSED DURING LUNCH TO
ACCOMMODATE STUDENTS SO THEY CAN EAT.
THE CAFETERIA IS UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE DIFFERENT
LUNCHES.
THE LOT THAT IS BEING CONSIDERED TO BE BUILT ALREADY COMES
WITH A 15-FOOT EASEMENT BECAUSE IT IS A CORNER LOT.
SPLIT THIS LOT WILL UNDOUBTEDLY CAUSE AN OBSTRUCTION TO THE
CARS GOING NORTH ON CAMERON.
THERE WAS A SKETCH THAT WAS BROUGHT UP HERE THAT SHOWED A
GIANT CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY.
CLEARLY CARS WILL HAVE TO BE PARKED THERE.
BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THIS HOUSE, THIS HOUSE WILL NOT HAVE
A BACK YARD WHICH MEANS LANDSCAPING.
CHILDREN PLAYING.
ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD TRADITIONALLY DO IN A BACK YARD WILL
HAVE TO BE DONE IN THE FRONT YARD.
AGAIN, AS YOU ARE DRIVING NORTH OR SOUTH ON CAMERON, IT IS
GOING TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ON TO SAN CARLOS.
AS A RESIDENT AND REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL THAT LIVES AND
WORKS IN PALMA CEIA WEST, I AM ASKING FOR THIS BOARD TO
PLEASE DENY THIS REQUEST.
YOUR DECISION TO GRANT THIS PETITIONER THE RIGHT TO SPLIT
THIS LOT WILL FOREVER IMPACT PALMA CEIA WEST.
IT WILL CHANGE WHAT THE FOUNDERS AND CITY PLANNERS DESIGNED
THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE IN THE 1960s.
I HAVE BEEN SELLING REAL ESTATE IN TAMPA FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS
AND BUYERS ARE ATTRACTED TO PALMA CEIA WEST BECAUSE OF THE
SIZE OF THE LOTS.
THIS BLOCK -- THIS BLOCK OF A FEW HOMES ON CAMERON STREET IS
NOT DESCRIPTIVE OF WHAT PALMA CEIA WEST IS.
JUST RECENTLY I REVIEWED AN APPRAISER'S REVIEW OF THE
PROPERTY ON THAT SAME STREET AND THE APPRAISER NOTED AS
LEGAL, NONCONFORMING GRANDFATHER USE BECAUSE IT DID NOT
CONFORM WITH NEIGHBORHOOD.
I ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER ALL OF PALMA CEIA WEST WHEN MAKING
YOUR DECISION AND NOT JUST THE BLOCK FACING THE SUBJECT
PROPERTY.
THE BLOCK IS NOT SIGNIFICANT OF PALMA CEIA WEST.
I ALSO UNDERSTAND BY RESEARCH DONE BY ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD
THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA HAS A GROWTH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
THAT SOUTH TAMPA IS NOT ONE OF THE AREAS CONSIDERED FOR
GROWTH IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT IN THIS PLAN.
PLEASE VOTE AGAIN THIS REZONING.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
06:33:36PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
GOOD EVENING, CAESAR FERNANDEZ.
AND I AM RESIDENT OF THE SOUTH TAMPA NEIGHBORHOOD FOR OVER
50 YEARS.
I LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, MAINLY FOR THE
SPACE, THE LARGE LOTS OFFERED.
I DID NOT FEEL CRAMMED NEXT TO THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR.
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD DID NOT HAVE THE FEEL OF THE SO COMMON
SUBDIVISION HAS IT ALL HOMES ARE PAINTED THE SAME AND PACKED
NEXT TO EACH OTHER WITH LIMITED AREA BETWEEN HOMES.
THESE LARGER LOTS ALLOWED SPACE FOR MORE LANDSCAPING AND
TREES AND I AM QUITE CONTENT THAT THE TREES IN MY LOT HAVE A
10 TO 15-DEGREE DIFFERENCE OF SHADE AND NO SHADE AREA AND
ACTING AS A BUFFER AND WIND AND FLYING DEBRIS AND THE
DETRIMENT EFFECT OF SUNLIGHT.
LARGEST SPACE ALLOWS FOR MORE ENJOYMENT FOR KIDS AND ADULTS
ALIKE.
WHEN I BOUGHT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD I KNEW NO ATTEMPTS OF
CHANGING ZONING.
AND THE BENEFIT OF LEGAL ZONING AND PROPERTY RIGHTS.
BUYING A HOME FOR ME WAS A LONG-TERM DECISION TO STAY IN
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND MAINTAIN WHERE PROTECTIONS EXIST.
I EXPECT THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO MAINTAIN THE SAME
FOR THE QUALITY AND BENEFIT OF ALL WHO LIVE HERE.
THE DETERIORATION, WEAKENING OF ZONING REGS ALLOW MORE
UNDESIRABLE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CHARACTER OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
ALLOWING THIS PROPERTY TO BE DIVIDED WILL ALSO INCREASE
DENSITY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SET IMPROPER COURSE FOR THE
FUTURE.
THE SOUTH TAMPA AREA HAS BEEN INUNDATED WITH ADDITIONAL
CONDOS, LARGER HOMES, MULTIFAMILY HOMES ALL ADDING TO THE
PROBLEMS THAT COME WITH THIS UNMANAGED GROWTH OF INCREASED
TRAFFIC, STRESS, INCREASED INFRASTRUCTURE, CRIME AND A
LESSER QUALITY OF LIFE.
ALLOWING MORE HOMES WILL ALSO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL BEN FITS
BY DECREASING GREEN SPACE FOR PROFFER DRAINAGE IN AN AREA
THAT IS PRONE TO FREQUENT FLOODING AND NOTHING THAT THE CITY
HAS DONE WITH THE TAXATION FOR STORMWATER IMPROVEMENT HAS
IMPROVED THE FLOODING PROBLEM IN SOUTH TAMPA AND WITH THIS
CONTINUED EXPANSION OF THE FLOODING SITUATION IN SOUTH TAMPA
WILL NEVER BE REMEDIED.
THE FLOODING WILL ONLY GET WORSE.
ALSO, THERE IS THE ISSUE OF OVERCROWDING IN THE SCHOOLS.
I HEARD FROM NEIGHBORS AND NIECES AND NEPHEWS OF THE
SITUATION AT PLANT AND COLEMAN WITH OVERFLOWING CLASSROOMS
AND HALLWAYS.
THAT IS NOT A PROPER FORM FOR STRESS-FREE EDUCATION.
ISSUE OF EADVANTAGE SITUATIONS DURING A CRISIS.
RESIDENTS YOU PACK INTO ONE AREA, THE MORE DIFFICULT IT WILL
BE TO EVACUATE.
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ALREADY HAS PROPER ZONING REGS.
EVERYBODY WHO BOUGHT HERE KNEW WHAT THEY WERE BUYING.
NOT UP FOR SOMEONE TO INCREASE PROFIT AND THROW OUT OF THE
WINDOW THE WONDERFUL CHARACTERISTICS THAT EXIST TO PRO
PROTECT THE QUALITY OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE URGE TO YOU MAINTAIN THE STANDARD THAT EXISTS FOR THE
CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE IT
PROVIDES.
IF YOU ALLOW THIS TO COME TO BE, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTING
THE WELL INTENDED RESIDENTS IN THIS AREA.
I REQUEST THAT YOU OPPOSE THIS ZONING CHANGE.
THANK YOU.
06:36:51PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
06:36:52PM >> I HAVE PICTURES.
I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS MAGIC THING WORKS.
DO I JUST PUT THEM DOWN THERE.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
JUST PUT IT ON THERE.
06:37:06PM >> YES.
THERE WE GO.
WE GOT IT UP AND TURN IT --
06:37:13PM >> LAURIE McMAHON.
I LIVED AT MY PRESENT ADDRESS FOR 35 YEARS WHICH IS THE
ADJACENT PROPERTY AND THE PROPOSED SEVEN-FOOT SIDES OF THE
ZONING.
I LOVE MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND I LOVE MY YARD.
I ENJOY THE COURT WHERE DOORS, ESPECIALLY MY NEIGHBORHOOD
ALONG WITH MY BACK YARD.
I WOULD LIKE TO REFERENCE CHARLIE MIRANDA.
I SAW HIM ON TV STATING THE CITY OF TAMPA'S SUCCESS IS BASED
ON THE PEOPLE, RESIDENTS FEELING THEY BELONG.
MR. MIRANDA WAS REFERENCING YBOR CITY, WHICH I KNOW IS CLOSE
TO HIS HEART.
I DID MENTION I LOVE MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND I REALLY ENJOY
SPENDING MY TIME IN MY BACK YARD.
I OPPOSE THE REZONING FOR THE 4111 SAN CARLOS DUE TO THE
FACT THIS WILL CHANGE THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
SPECIFICALLY IT WILL GIVE THE FEELING OF JUST ANOTHER
CONCRETE JUNGLE OR CITY IN ANYWHERE USA.
THE FEELING OF BELONGING TO THE CITY OF TAMPA WILL BE ERODED
AND LOST.
I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU MY BACK YARD AND YOU GOT A
SNEAK PREVIEW.
A LOT OF SWEAT EQUITY PUT INTO THIS BACK YARD.
WHEN A STRUCTURE SEVEN FEET AWAY, IT WILL NO LONGER BE THE
TRANQUIL, PEACEFUL RELAXING BACK YARD IT IS NOW.
I CHOSE TO MAKE MY HOME HERE 35 YEARS AGO BECAUSE IT IS A
QUIET NABBED.
I DID NOT CHOOSE TO LIVE DOWNTOWN WHERE PEOPLE ARE ELBOW TO
ELBOW.
I CHOSE TO LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC
OF THIS SPACE.
I DID NOT CHOOSE TO LIVE IN A CEMENT JUNGLE.
WE HAVE AN OAK TREE ON THE PROPOSED SEVEN-FOOT SIDE OF THE
4111 SAN CARLOS PROPERTY.
THIS IS SEVEN FEET FROM THE TIP OF MY FINGER TO THE FLOOR.
THAT IS SEVEN FEET.
WHO WOULD LIKE ME TO CALL THEM WHEN MY OAK TREE DIES DUE TO
INTERFERENCE OF THE TREE ROOTS.
YOU CAN SAYS IT ADDRESSED BY THE BUILDER; HOWEVER, HAVE YOU
EVER HAD A BUILDER TELL YOU A FIB?
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THIS WAS YOUR HOUSE.
MY STREET CAMERON IS A DEAD-END STREET AND THE PROPOSE
HOMES HAVE PARKING FOR NINE CARS.
PRESENTLY MY BLOCK HAS SIX CARS.
THAT WILL BE 150% INCREASE OF CARS AT A MINIMUM.
ALONG THE CARS, THE DRIVE WAS A CONCRETE, LIMITED GREEN
SPACE, THE DRAINAGE WILL CHANGE.
NOT IN A POSITIVE MANNER.
THAT IS COMMON SENSE.
IN SUMMARY, LET'S GO BACK TO MR. MIRANDA AND WHAT HE SAID OF
TAMPA'S SUCCESS IS BASED ON RESIDENTS FEELING THEY BELONG.
IF YOU APPROVE THIS ZONING REQUEST, THE FEELING OF BELONGING
TO THE CITY OF TAMPA WILL BE ERODED AND LOST.
A CONCRETE JUNGLE DOES NOT FIT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF.
WALK IN THE SHOES OF THE RESIDENTS, AND PLEASE DENY THIS
REZONING ASK.
THANK YOU.
06:40:02PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
GOOD EVENING, COUNCILMEMBERS, ALI MANSOUR --
06:40:13PM >> JUST AS A MATTER OF PROCEDURE, ALI IS THE SON OF THE
OWNER.
I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM WITH COUNCIL IF YOU WANT THEM TO
SPEAK WITH REBUTTAL OR SEPARATELY?
06:40:25PM >>MORRIS MASSEY:
YOU HAVE SPOKEN AS THE REPRESENTATIVE.
I MEAN -- YOU -- THIS COULD GO INTO YOUR REBUTTAL TIME, IF
THAT IS --
06:40:35PM >> I JUST DON'T WANT TO RUN AFOUL OF PROCEDURE SO I HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
06:40:39PM >> YOU COULD HAVE SPOKEN WHEN HE MADE YOUR CHASE IN CHIEF,
BUT AT THIS TIME, YOU ARE GOING -- INCLUDED IN THE REBUTTAL
TIME.
YOU CAN DIVIDE THAT UP AS YOU WILL.
06:40:49PM >> I THINK -- I WON'T NEED TO SPEAK THAT LONG, I THINK THAT
MAKES THE MOST SENSE.
IS THERE -- IF NO ONE ELSE IN OPPOSITION, I WOULD --
06:40:59PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE FOUR SPEAKERS ONLINE.
06:41:01PM >> OKAY.
YOU CAN JUST WAIT.
06:41:06PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE FOUR SPEAKERS WAITING
ONLINE.
SAMANTHA SPARKS, THOMAS CONNOLLY, KEN BARRY AND NANCY
DEROSA.
AND I AM GOING TO NEED TO SEE YOUR FACES.
AND YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TO BE SWORN IN.
IF I CAN GET AS MANY OF THE FOUR SPEAKERS UP AS POSSIBLE SO
--
06:41:38PM >>CLERK:
THIS IS THE CITY CLERK.
MISS NANCY DEROSA IS NOT LOGGED ON AT THIS TIME.
KENNY BARRY, I HAVE SEVERAL REQUESTS FOR HIM TO TURN ON HIS
VIDEO.
HE HAS NOT DONE SO YET.
AND HE IS ON SO YOU HAVE THE TWO SPEAKERS IN FRONT OF YOU AT
THIS MOMENT.
CITIZENS.
06:41:55PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MISS SPARKS, MR. CONNOLLY, IF YOU CAN RAISE
YOUR RIGHT HAND.
06:41:59PM >> I AM SORRY.
[SWEARING IN]
06:42:06PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
LADIES FIRST.
MISS SPARKS.
HELLO, SAMANTHA SPARKS.
AND I LIVED IN SOUTH TAMPA MY WHOLE LIFE AND I STRONGLY
OPPOSE THIS REZONING ISSUE.
I LIKE TO SPEAK TO IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A STUDENT MAYBERRY ELEMENTARY, COLEMAN MIDDLE AND GRADUATED
FROM PLANT HIGH SCHOOL IN MAY 2021.
I KNOW FIRSTHAND THE ISSUE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS FACE WITH
OVERCROWDED SCHOOLS.
WITH CLASSROOM SIZES INCREASED, TEACHERS ARE NOT ABLE TO
GIVE ONE ON ONE AND SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION ON A REGULAR
BASIS THAT CAUSES MANY STRUGGLING STUDENTS TO FALL EVEN
FURTHER BEHIND.
OVERCROWDED HALLWAYS AND PACKED WITH STUDENTS PROVIDES
CONFLICT, TENSION AND DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR.
OVERCROWDING LEADS TO LESS ACCESS TO SCHOOL EQUIPMENT AND
TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR SPECIALTIES SUCH AS
SCIENCE LABS AND COMPUTER LABS.
IT ALSO LEADS TO LESS SPACE ON CAMPUS THAT RESULT FOR SOME
STUDENTS NOT HAVING A PLACE TO EAT LUNCH BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH
ROOM IN THE CAFETERIA.
OUR SCHOOLS ARE ALREADY SO OVERCROWDED AND SO MANY PEOPLE
HAVE TO EAT IN THE HALLWAYS FOR NOT EVERYONE TO HAVE A SEAT
IN THE CAFETERIA.
AND SOME SCHOOLS HAVE TO START SERVE LUNCH AT 10:CAN 30 FOR
EVERYONE TO HAVE A CHANCE TO EATS.
OVERCROWDING IS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ISSUES FACING
OUR SCHOOLS, STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TODAY.
STUDENTS IN OVERCROWDED SCHOOLS LEARN LESS AND ACHIEVE LESS
AS THEY SUFFER INTERRUPTED INSTRUCTIONAL TIME, LIMITED
ACCESS TO HONORS AND AP CLASSES AND LIMITED OR NO ACCESS TO
VALUABLE RESOURCES.
WHEN THERE ARE MORE STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM, INCREASED
NOISE LEVEL MAKE IT HARDER FOR TEACHERS TO TEACH AND
STUDENTS TO CONCENTRATE.
THINK OF THE VALUABLE LESSON TIME AND LESSON THAT ARE MISSED
WHEN TEACHERS FOCUS ON CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND NOISE
CONTROL.
THE STRESS AND FRUSTRATION THAT PUT IN OUR TEACHERS LEAD TO
TEACHER BURNOUT AN MANY EXCELLENT TEACHERS LEAVE THE
PROFESSION.
NOT WORTH THE STRESS THEY DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS.
OUR SOUTH TAMPA SCHOOLS ARE CROWDED ENOUGH AND THIS REZONING
WILL MAKE THE MUCH PROBLEM WORSE.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE.
06:44:17PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
MR. CONNOLLY.
06:44:20PM >> CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
06:44:23PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
YES, SIR.
MY NAME IS TOM CONNOLLY, THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE
VIRGINIA PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
I AM SPEAK IN THAT CAPACITY WITH THE CONCURRENCE OF MY
BOARD.
THE CLASSIC DEFINITION OF LOT ZONING SINGLING OUT
CLASSIFICATION DIFFERENT THAN THE SURROUNDING AREA FOR THE
BENEFIT OF PROPERTY AND THE DETRIMENT OF OTHER ONES.
STAFF ANALYSIS OF THE CORN FORMING AREA OF 4111 SAN CARLOS
SHOW THAT 90% OF HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH
OF 60 NOT FOR GREATER.
AND CARRY WEIGHT AND SIGNIFICANCE OF PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT.
SECTION 27-11 TO, QUOTE, DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
NOTHING ELSE IS REQUIRED BY CODE.
NOT THE SUBJECT LOT OR THE BLOCK FACE.
THEREFORE, THE, I'M OF THE CODE SHOULD BE OF THE BIGGEST
FACTOR IN ANY ANALYSIS.
THIS IS AN EXTREME LOT.
WHY IS THIS EX-STROOEM STREAM?
THIS LOT IS 40 FOOT SMALLER THAN REZONING SPLIT.
IT WILL RESULT IN A SPOT REZONING THROUGH THE USE OF A PD
REZONING REQUEST.
PDs ARE TO BE USED ONLY IF OTHER ZONINGS WILL NOT ALLOW THE
USE REQUESTED.
SECTION 27-226 IS TO PROVIDE FOR ZONING DISTRICTS THAT
RECOGNIZE UNIQUE CONDITIONS, ALLOW DESIGN FLEXIBILITY,
PROMOTE PLAN DIVERSIFICATION, USE OF INSTRUCTORS THAT OTHERS
WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE.
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
THE PURPOSE OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IS TOY A YOU LO THE
DEVELOPMENT LAND USE THAT ARE IN CONFORMANCE OF THE FUTURE
LAND USE AMOUNT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF WELL DESIGNED
DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE CHARACTERIZED BY UNIQUE CONDITIONS AND
SITUATIONS OF OTHER ZONING DISTRICTS CANNOT ACCOMMODATE
INCLUDING THE SPECIFIC BUT NOT LIMITED TO UNUSUAL PHYSICAL,
ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES.
NONE OF THOSE EXIST IN THIS CASE.
THIS REQUEST IS SO EXTREME WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A COMP PLAN
AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE LAND USE TO R-10 BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT
HAVE A RS-50 ZONING IN A R-60 AREA.
HOW DO THEY GET AROUND.
SWITCH TO A PD
RS-75 TO HS-50 AND TOLD TO PUT IN AS A PD.
THEY ARE ASKING FOR WHAT HECK OF A WORK AROUND.
NOT WHAT A PD IS FOR.
NOT AS A BACK-DOOR WAY TO SLIDE BEHIND ZONING REQUIREMENTS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, COUNCIL.
06:46:58PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
MR. BARRY, IF YOU PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND TO BE SWORN
IN.
[SWEARING IN]
06:47:06PM >> I DO.
06:47:08PM >>CLERK:
THANK YOU.
06:47:09PM >> MY NAME IS KENNY BARRY.
I HAVE BEEN A PALMA CEIA WEST RESIDENT FOR 24 YEARS.
I REGULARLY RUN AND WALK MY DOG IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I RECOGNIZE MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SPOKE TODAY.
AND I CAN'T REALLY ADD ANYTHING NEW TO WHAT THEY HAVE SAID,
BUT I -- THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS STUFF KIND OF BOTHERS ME
WITH THE DRAINAGE.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT DRAINS INTO LAURIE McMAHON'S YARD?
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT?
BECAUSE -- YOU HAVE ONE GIGANTIC.
YOU ARE GOING TO RAISE THE GRADING ON THAT AND ALL GO IN HER
YARD AND NOW SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH IT.
THE OTHER THING IS, WITH NO SIDEWALKS AT ALL AROUND THOSE
STREETS, EVERYBODY HAS TO WALK IN THE STREET AROUND THERE.
YOU HAVE SIX SCHOOLS BASICALLY WITHIN HALF MILE, THREE
QUARTERS.
IF YOU EVER CAME AROUND HERE AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING AND
WATCHED ALL THE KIDS THAT WALK WITH THEIR PARENTS AND RIDE
THEIR BIKES TO SCHOOL AND ALL THAT.
NINE CARS IN THIS DRIVEWAY?
I MEAN, WHAT IS THIS GOING TO BE, A SHORT-TERM RENTAL?
AND I HAVE THAT PROBLEM ON MY STREET, A SHORT-TERM RENTAL.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR USE IS, WHY THEY NEED NINE CAR --
SOMETHING IS FISHY.
SOUNDS LIKE THE TWO GENTLEMEN THAT SPOKE FIRST IN FAVOR OF
THIS KIND OF PREBARRICADED A LOT OF THE INFORMATION.
12,000-SQUARE-FOOT HOMES ON SMALL LOT?
I JUST -- I JUST HOPE YOU DENY THIS.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
THANK YOU.
SETH.
06:48:48PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
AND IS THAT IS IT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
REBUTTAL TIME.
GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
FOR THE RECORD KEVIN REALI, 401 EAST JACKSON STREET.
TWIEPT GO QUICKLY SO MY COLLEAGUES HAVE A MOMENT TO SPEAK
HERE.
ALL OF THE CONCERNS RELATED TO EVACUATION, DENSITY AND
GROWTH FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REFER TO THE FUTURE LAND
USE CATEGORY.
THE FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES IS NOT BEING REQUESTED TO
CHANGE.
AND WE CONFORM WITH THE DENSITY OF THOSE PROVISIONS.
SPEAKING TO MRS. FEELEY'S STATEMENTS THAT WERE MADE IN
PERSON IN THAT MEETING.
HEARSAY AND THE PRIOR REPORT IS FOR A DIFFERENT APPLICATION.
AND IT DIDN'T CONSIDER THIS BLOCK.
THE LARGER LOT PATTERN THAT MANY OF THE CONSTITUENTS UP HERE
SPOKE OF WAS ANALYZED BY STAFF.
IT IS IN THE STAFF REPORT AND STAFF WAS SWAYED TO FIND THIS
CONSISTENT AND COMPATIBLE AFTER REVIEWING THE LARGER AREA AS
THE CODE REQUIRES.
IT -- THE PROCEDURE CHOSEN DOES NOT UP-END COMPATIBILITY,
THIS IS LOW DENSITY SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED DEVELOPMENT.
COMPATIBILITY IS NOT THE SAME AS.
AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT 110-FOOT LOT IS NO MORE COMPATIBLE
IN RS-75 THAN A 55-FOOT LOT.
THIS IS THE -- THIS IS THE SAME -- THE SAME TYPE OF USE OF
SAME DENSITY IN THE RS-6 CATEGORY.
ADDITIONALLY, THESE HOMES ARE -- ARE CLOSER TO
4,000-SQUARE-FOOT HEATED.
NOT THE SIZE STATED AND BUILT WITH THE RS-.75 SETBACKS WITH
APPROVAL OF THE STORMWATER DEPARTMENT.
THEY ARE BUILDING WITHIN THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SURROUNDING
ZONING AREA.
THE PUBLIC MENTIONED A NUMBER OF FACTS AND DISCUSSED A LOT
OF FACTS.
AND BROUGHT UP VARIOUS PARTS OF THE COULD HE HAD.
BUT THESE ARE ALL THINGS CONSIDERED BY STAFF.
THE LARGER AREA WAS CONSIDERED BY STAFF AND STAFF, WITH
COUNCIL, WAS SWAYED BY THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE MORE
IMMEDIATE AREA.
THE FACTS DISCUSSED HERE BY STAFF -- BY THE CONSTITUENTS GO
TO THE SAME THINGS THAT STAFF ALREADY CONSIDERED.
AND THE OPINIONS OF STAFF RULED OVER THAT.
NOT THE OPINIONS OF THE CONSTITUENTS.
ADDITIONALLY AND JUST VERY BRIEFLY HERE.
THE STAFF TALKED -- EXCUSE ME THE CONSTITUENTS TALKED A
GREAT DEAL ABOUT THE -- SECTION 27-11 TALKING ABOUT NOT
SPLITTING LOTS.
WELL, WHAT THAT PREVENTS IS PAY TENTLY INCONSISTENT --
06:51:33PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
SIR, HANG ON ONE SECOND.
CAN WE GET THE OVERHEAD, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
06:51:41PM >> SECTION 27-11 DISCUSSES DENYING WHEN LOTS ARE PAY TENTLY
INCONSISTENT WHICH IS NOT THE CASE HERE AND DISCUSSES
ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE COMPATIBLE WHICH PROFESSIONAL STAFF
ALREADY DID.
ADDITIONALLY PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS TO REVIEW THE ORIGINAL
PLAT AND SUBDIVISION DOCUMENTS WHICH WERE PROPOSED HERE.
I WILL LET ALI TO SPEAK AND THEN THE DESIGN PROFESSIONAL.
06:52:06PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
ALI MANSOUR.
I WILL BE BRIEF.
I GREW UP 411 SAN CARLOS FOR THE FIRST 20 YEARS.
SINCE THEN MY SIBLINGS AND I GREW YOU UP AND WENT TO THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE AREA AND USF.
I WENT TO WORK IN ST. PETERSBURG AND MY SISTERS ARE NOW
DENTAL SCHOOL AT NYU.
THIS HOME WAS NO THE A MONEY GRAB.
FOR US TO COME BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE LOVE.
THAT WE GREW UP IN AND SURROUNDED BY FAMILY.
THANK YOU.
06:52:36PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
06:52:37PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
TRAVIS HILLS.
JUST HOPE THAT YOU CAN BEAR WITH ME JUST FOR A FEW MINUTES.
I DON'T WANT TO TAKE A LOT OF TIME.
I SEE THE CLOCK.
BUT I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF I COULD GO A LITTLE OVER CAN YOU
GIVE ME A MOMENT.
I THINK YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHEN IT COMES TO TIME THAT WE ARE
TRYING TO HELP BE SENSITIVE.
I JUST WANTED TO JUST KIND OF MAKE SURE THAT FROM A DESIGNER
DIDN'T, SOME OF THE THINGS ARE CLEAR.
I MEAN, KEVIN HAS DONE A GREAT JOB OF POINTING THOSE THINGS
OUT, BUT EVEN SPECIFICALLY, WHEN IT COMES TO THESE LOT
SIZES, THE WAY THEY ARE DESIGNED, EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN INTO
ACCOUNT.
TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT TO HAVE NO WAIVERS NEEDED.
AND WHEN IT COMES TO SQUARE FOOTAGE, IF YOU RECOGNIZE THAT
-- THAT CORNER LOT, WE ACTUALLY WENT 15 FEET.
NOT SEVEN.
THAT MEANS THAT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS STACKED.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT -- WHEN IT COMES TO DRAINAGE, IT IS ALL
ABOUT THE FOOTPRINT.
NOT ABOUT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT IS ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
SO SOMEBODY -- SOME OF THESE HOMES THAT PEOPLE DO ARE SPLIT
LEVELS WHERE IT IS NOT NECESSARILY STACKED SQUARE FOOTAGE.
TRADITIONAL ONE OVER ONE OUT A PERIMETER.
THIS IS WHY THAT WAS DONE IN THAT CASE.
THE OTHER THING IS WITH THE DRIVEWAYS.
I HEAR SOMETIMES PEOPLE TALK OF IT AS TWO HOMES.
BUT THEN THEY WILL USE STATISTICS AS IF IT IS ONE
DEVELOPMENT.
NINE PARKING SPACES.
WELL, EVERY HOUSE THAT HAS A TWO-CAR GARAGE AND DRIVEWAY IN
FRONT OF IT HAS FOUR PARKING SPACES.
SO THAT IS PROBABLY ALMOST EVERYBODY IN HERE.
SO WE ARE TALKING ONE ADDITIONAL WHICH IS A CIRCULAR THAT
MAKES --
06:54:38PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
30 SECONDS MORE.
06:54:39PM >> OKAY, THANK YOU.
THAT MAKES UP THAT ADDITIONAL ONE SPACE.
THAT IS OUT OF THE NORM.
NOW BACK TO THE PROPERTY ADJACENT ON THE BACK.
THOSE -- THAT HOUSE DOES THE SAME THING.
THEY GOT TWO IN FRONT AND A DETACHED IN THE BACK.
WITH -- ABLE TO ACCESS ON BOTH SIDES.
ONCE AGAIN, IT ALL FALLS WITHIN THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.
THANK YOU, COUNCIL.
06:55:11PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MR. CHAIRMAN.
06:55:13PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN GUDES.
06:55:15PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
ZAIN.
I DON'T WANT TO USE THE WORD "DEBACLE", BUT THIS HAS BEEN A
DEBACLE CASE.
LOOKING AT PAPERWORK BACK FROM 2012 TO NOW.
TO TODAY, STAFF IS SAYING THIS IS CONSISTENT, CORRECT?
06:55:49PM >>ZAIN HUSSEIN:
ZAIN HUSSEIN, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
THAT IS CORRECT.
06:55:53PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
ALL RIGHT.
WHEN I LOOK AT SEVERAL FOLKS IN THE AUDIENCE HAVE GIVEN US
DRAWINGS -- I WANT YOU TO PUT UP YOUR DRAWINGS.
BECAUSE WHEN I LOOK AT THE MAP AND I LOOK AT COMPATIBILITY
-- BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN NEIGHBORHOODS AND NEIGHBORHOODS ARE
KEEPING THEIR CONTINUITY, BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THE MAP, AND I
COUNTS.
AND WHEN I LOOK AT THIS -- THIS GENTLEMAN WHO BROUGHT THE
MAP, 162, 78.
AND I SEE ON THAT MAP THAT THE AUDIENCE BROUGHT TO ME, I SEE
113, I SEE 110, 110, 110, 103.
YOU KNOW, AND THEN I LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER -- SOME OF
THE OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS MAP.
100, 100, 108, 104.
I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUTS HOW IS THIS NOT COMPATIBLE.
SO WHEN I LOOK -- AGAIN, WHEN I LOOK AT THIS AND I LOOK AT
THESE NUMBERS, SOUTH OF LOIS AVENUE, WEST OF SAN MIGUEL,
100, 100, 100, 94, 116, 103.
I HAVE A HARD TIME SAYING THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE.
SOME IS THIS THE CONCLUSION THAT YOUR OFFICE CAME -- IS
SAYING THESE ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE NUMBERS, WITH THESE
LOTS SDMRANZ ZAIN YES, SIR, ZAIN HUSSEIN, DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
GREATS POINT.
WHEN STAFF WAS ANALYZE THIS AS I SHOWED, YOU ARE LOOKING AT
THE BLOCK HERE.
AND ALSO FROM THE BLOCK FACE FROM SOUTH CAMERON AVENUE.
AS YOU SEE THOSE LOTS TO THE NORTH AND ALSO TO THE EAST, YOU
WILL SEE THAT COMPATIBILITY.
WHAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING.
SO IT WILL BE OVERALL COMPATIBLE, AND DIFFERENT PARTS --
DIFFERENT STAGES OF OUR STAFF HAS ANALYZED IT.
DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS HAVE LOOKED AT IT.
AND WAS OVERALL FOUND CONSISTENT.
06:57:41PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
ALL HIS IS MY SIGHT AND NOT TOO GOOD.
FOLKS BROUGHT ME THEIR MAPS AND THAT MAP.
WHAT I SEE IN MY EYE IS COMPATIBILITY ESPECIALLY THIS
GENTLEMAN WITH THIS MAP ACTUALLY PUTS OUT THE ACTUAL NUMERIC
NUMBERS OF THE APPARENT HOUSE ON THE LOT ON THIS MAP.
I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE.
THAT IS WHY I ASKED YOU FOR YOUR MAP.
YOU ARE SAYING THIS IS COMPATIBLE TO WHAT -- WHAT OUR CODE
IS, CORRECT?
06:58:12PM >>ZAIN HUSSEIN:
CORRECT.
THIS MAP WAS PROVIDED TO US BY THE MAPPING DEPARTMENT FROM
THE CITY OF TAMPA.
SO THEY HAVE PROVIDED THE NUMBERS.
THEY HAVE THE GIS SOFTWARE.
THEY PROVIDE THE COMPATIBILITY AND CONFORMING MAP FOR STAFF
TO ANALYZE.
THEIR NUMBERS ARE CORRECT.
06:58:27PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
THANK YOU, SIR.
06:58:29PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
06:58:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WILL STICK WITH THIS WHOLE MAP SCENARIO
BECAUSE WHAT I DID WHILE LISTENING TO THE CITIZENS AND
SAYING THIS LOT CONFORMS TO THE REST OF IT.
WELL, I COUNTED -- AND ONLY 11 LOTS IN THIS ENTIRE AREA THAT
ARE 110 OR WIDER.
SOME LOT SPLITTING TO ME -- A, THE BLOCK FACE FITS.
B, THERE ARE SO FEW LOTS THAT ARE THIS SIZE THAT -- I DON'T
SEE THE -- I DON'T SEE THEIR ARGUMENT HERE.
BUT I ALSO WANTED TO ASK YOU, HOW -- IF YOU WERE GOING -- IF
THIS LOT IS TECHNICALLY DIVIDED INTO TWO HOW MUCH SQUARE
FOOTAGE WOULD BE IN EACH LOT?
I BELIEVE YOU SHOWED US A SLIDE ABOUT THAT OR A PAGE.
IT WAS 75 SOMETHING OR OTHER.
06:59:25PM >>ZAIN HUSSEIN:
YES.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING BOTH THE LOTS TO BE 55 X 139.
06:59:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM SORRY, I CAN'T DO THE MATH IN MY HEAD.
DO THE SQUARE FOOTAGE.
OR SOMEONE ELSE DO THE MATH.
06:59:43PM >>MORRIS MASSEY:
55 X 139, THE DIMENSION, 7645.
06:59:55PM >>ZAIN HUSSEIN:
7645 SQUARE FEET.
06:59:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
7645.
MY UNDERSTAND THAT 75 -- THE 75 ZONING IS -- ONE OF THE
REQUIREMENTS IS THAT IT IS 7500 SQUARE FEET.
AM I CORRECT IN THAT.
07:00:12PM >>ZAIN HUSSEIN:
CORRECTS.
07:00:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BASICALLY THE ONLY THING THAT DOESN'T FIT IS
THE FRONTAGE.
07:00:16PM >>ZAIN HUSSEIN:
CORRECT.
07:00:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY, THANK YOU.
THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS.
I APPRECIATES IT.
07:00:22PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS?
07:00:25PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOVE TO CLOSE --
07:00:27PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
BEFORE WE CLOSE.
MY NAME WAS MENTIONED A COUPLE OF TIMES.
MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY.
SOMETIMES IT IS WELL SAID.
SOMETIMES IT IS NOT WELL SAID; HOWEVER, WHEN I LOOK AT THE
MAP AND I LOOK AT THE BLUE AND THE 110.
I WAS IN MY MIND THINKING IT HAS GOT TO PASS.
IT IS WITHIN REASON.
AND THEN WHEN I VOTED I SAID TO MYSELF, YEAH, THAT'S FINE.
I DID THE RIGHT THING.
WHEN I WHEN BACK AND I HEARD WHAT WAS MENTIONED NOW, I WAS
BASE IT ON THE TWO -- THE 250.
THIS IS QUARTER OF A MILE.
IF ANYONE ERRORED, IT'S ME.
THAT'S ALL TIME GOING TO SAY.
07:01:06PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
07:01:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.
IF THIS PETITIONER BUILT WHAT THEY WANT WITH, LIKE, A
CONNECTOR TO MAKE IT TECHNICALLY ONE HOUSE, IT WOULD STILL
BE LEGAL, RIGHT?
WITH THE CURRENT ZONING AND THE CURRENT LOT SIZE?
07:01:29PM >>ZAIN HUSSEIN:
CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN?
07:01:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BASICALLY THEY COULD BUILD A HOUSE TO FIT THE
LOT LINES THEY ARE IN RIGHT NOW.
AND THEY CAN FILL IN ALL THAT EXTRA SPACE.
AND THAT WILL BE FINE.
07:01:40PM >>ZAIN HUSSEIN:
THEY CAN MEET THE REQUIREMENTS WITH ONE
HOUSE.
07:01:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BUT WITH THE SAME SETBACKS.
THEY CAN PUT A 10,000-SQUARE-FOOT HOUSE THERE INSTEAD.
07:01:52PM >>ZAIN HUSSEIN:
YES, MA'AM.
07:01:53PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
THANK YOU.

SAM THOMAS WITH YOUR PLANNING STAFF.
REGARDING CEMETERY POLICIES.
SOME BACKGROUNDS ON THIS.
IT WAS PUBLICLY INITIATED AND TRANSMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT
OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ON JUNE 6.
CEO HAD NO COMMENT.
IN A REVIEW OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES INCLUDE TWO NEW
DEFINITIONS, 13 NEW MOD FIND GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES.
SELL TARRIES IS BEING ADDED TO THE DESCRIPTION OF PUBLIC,
SEMI PUBLIC AND CITY-OWNED CEMETERIES OF RECREATIONAL SPACE
FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
THE TWO NEW DEFINITIONS ARE FOR CEMETERIES AND UNMARKED
HUMAN BURIALS.
AND THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES FOCUSED ON
RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE, PROMOTING THE PRESERVATION OF
TAMPA CEMETERIES WHILE ENCOURAGING THE PRIVATELY OWNED
CEMETERIES TO BE IN FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUESTED CHANGES
FOUND IT CONSISTENT WITH MULTIPLE ASPECTS OF THE TAMPA
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
RESIDENTS OF TAMPA HAVE EXPRESSED CEMETERIES HAVE A CULTURAL
VALUE AND TO TAKE STEPS TO HONOR THE CULTURAL VALUES.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT
CEMETERIES ARE RECOGNIZED APPROPRIATELY AND PRESERVE THE BY
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
ADDING CEMETERIES TO THE DESCRIPTION OF THE
RECREATIONAL/OPEN SPACE DESIGNATION CLARIFIES IT IS AN
APPROPRIATE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION AND SUPPORTED BY ROS
POLICY 1.112.

ITEM 13, FOR REZ 21-114.
I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT WE HAVE RON VILA WITH US THIS
EVENING.
HE IS WITH HISTORIC PRESERVATION.

PARTIALLY LOCATED WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND I WILL
MENTION SOME OF THE BLC RECOMMENDATION AND APPROVAL.
AND ERIN MAHER IS HERE AND WE WILL HAVE HER SPEAK ON THE
NATURAL RESOURCES ASPECT OF THE COURT.
FIRST BEFORE I START THE REPORT, I DID WANT TO DISCUSS FOR
COUNCIL'S SAKE AND THE PUBLIC'S SAKE, AGAIN, THE PD-A
PROCESS AND WHAT IS REQUIRED AND A PD-A, A PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE WITH A PD-A, YOU WILL RECEIVE A PLAN
THAT PROVIDES AN OUTLINE OR A BORDER OF THE BOUNDARY OF THE
PROJECT AREA.
YOU WOULD NOT SEE SPECIFIC DETAIL ON A PD-A.
YOU WILL NOT SEE CURB CUTS.
YOU WILL NOT SEE PARKING SPACES OR BUILDING PLACE AM.
THAT WILL BE DONE -- PLACEMENT.
THAT WILL BE DONE AT THE TIME OF INCREMENTAL SITE PLAN
REVIEW.
PD-As FOR PHASED DEVELOPMENT AND MUST COME IN AT THE TIME OF
THE REVIEW.
APPEAR THE INCREMENTAL SITE PLAN PROCESS, THE PLAN MUST BE
CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL PD-A.
THE PD-A WILL COME WITH ENTITLEMENTS IN A DESIGN BOOK THAT I
WILL REVIEW FOR YOU SHORTLY.
AND THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE ALONG WITH THE DESIGN.
IN A PD SITE PLAN, YOU WILL HAVE MORE OF THE DETAIL.
YOU WILL SEE AN EXACT LAYOUT OF THE SITE.
YOU CAN SEE THE BUFFERING.
EVERYTHING IS SHOWN IN THE PD SITE PLAN.
WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS THE PD-A AND WHY YOU HAVE THE
OUTLINE OF THE PRO J AREA ALONG WITH THE MORE.
HE SPECIFIC DETAILS.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS START IN THE DESCRIPTION WITH THE
PROJECT.
YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN SOME BACKGROUND FROM PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF AND THIS PROJECT IS THE GASWORX PROJECT.
INCLUDES THE REDEVELOPMENT OF OVER 26-ACRE SITE.
THE PD-A SITE PLAN INCLUDE A MASTER SET OF ENTITLEMENTS.
THEY INCLUDE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND IT HE SIGN GUIDELINES
WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN GUIDELINES BOOK.
THIS ALSO INCLUDES AN ASSOCIATED DEVELOP ERLGS AGREEMENT, A
VACATING WHICH -- DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT, SAY K5I9SING THAT
YOU HEARD FROM ROSS AND A BONUS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN GRANTED
-- YOU WILL HEAR THAT AS PART OF THE NEXT ITEM FOR THIS
EVENING.
ALL OF THESE GUIDE THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE.
SO I HAVE THE MAP I WANTED TO SHOW.
THE AERIAL AGAIN JUST TO SHOW YOU THE SURROUNDING ZONING FOR
THE AREA.
YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF PDs, IG ZONING DISTRICTS.
A LOT OF THE AREA HAS INDUSTRIAL, VACANT AND COMMERCIAL USES
ALSO.
YOU HAVE THE MORE COMMERCIAL ZONING DESIGNATION TOWARD
NEBRASKA.
AND I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF IMAGES TO SHOW YOU
THAT LINE WHERE THE HISTORIC DISTRICTS IS LOCATED.
SO THIS IS 15th AVENUE.
THIS IS ADAMO.
AND THAT IS THE PREDOMINANT SURROUNDING USES FOR THE SITE.
07:50:48PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN GUDES.
07:50:53PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
IS THIS CONSIDERED PHASE TWO?
07:50:56PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
IT IS.
IT IS.
ON THIS PAGE, THIS IS THE SITE PLAN THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED.
THE BLOCKS ON THE SITE PLAN HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY LETTERS.
YOU HAVE YOUR WESTERN BLOCKS LOCATED TO THE WEST OF NUCCIO
WITH THE W IDENTIFIED.
THESE ARE THE PARCEL THAT WERE IDENTIFIED AND PART OF PHASE
ONE.
THEY WERE APPROVED WITH THE REZ 21 REZONING.
SO IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS REQUEST THE BLOCKS WHICH ARE
GRAYED.
BUT THESE BLOCKS ARE INCLUDED.
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR CENTRAL BLOCK, WHICH ARE IDENTIFIED BY
THE C, C-1-6.
EASTERN BLOCKS E-1 THROUGH E-7.
THIS DOTTED LINE OF INDICATES THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
E-2 PARTIALLY IN THE DISTRICT ALONG WITH E-5.
AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE REPORT FROM THE BLC.
THOSE BLOCKS ARE IDENTIFIED ON THE SITE PLAN.
IN THE STAFF REPORT ON PAGE 2, I HAVE INCLUDED A TABLE WHICH
GIVES YOU THE ACREAGE FOR EACH BLOCK OR EACH SECTION.
FOR THE WESTERN BLOCKS, TOTALS FIVE ACRES.
THAT IS W 3, W 4-5.
C-1 AND 6, CENTRAL BLOCKS 10.4 ACRES AND E-1-7 ARE THE
EASTERN, 10.7 ACRES.
MAXIMUM POTENTIAL HAS BEEN MENTIONED BY THE PLANNING
COMMISSION.
THERE IS A BONUS AGREEMENT THAT RUNS WITH THIS REZONING.
THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
UNITS.
SO THAT IS ONE OF THE BONUS DENSITY OPTIONS AVAILABLE.
AND THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT AND WILL PROVIDE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS TO MEET THAT MINIMUM 10%
REQUIREMENT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
07:52:55PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
07:52:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
HOW MANY.
07:52:59PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
APPROXIMATELY 325 AFFORDABLE UNITS, YES.
07:53:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
07:53:04PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
SO THE DESIGN GUIDELINES BOOKS HAVE BEEN
PROVIDED.
THEY ARE -- THERE IS A SEPARATE DESIGN BOOK THAT RUNS WITH
THIS SITE PLAN.
AND THIS CONTAINS ALL OF THE ELEMENTS THAT DETERMINE YOUR
BUILDING FRONTAGES, THE DESIGN TYPES AND DESIGN ELEMENTS AND
PUBLIC REALM TREATMENT.
AMONG THE THINGS IN THE DESIGN BOOK ARE ALSO STREET
CLASSIFICATION, SO THERE ARE -- PRIORITIES TO THE STREETS
THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED.
SO I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU QUICKLY ON THIS MAP, THIS, AGAIN,
THIS DOTTED LINE IS THE HISTORIC DISTRICT IDENTIFIED.
BUT THERE ARE THREE STREET CLASSIFICATIONS.
YOU HAVE AN A STREET, A B STREET, AND A C STREET AND THEY
ARE IDENTIFIED BY COLOR.
THE A STREET IS HIGHER FRONT.
THE B STREET IS PEDESTRIAN IN CLARK AND FEATURES MIXED USE
AND STOREFRONT RESIDENTIAL OR STOREFRONT COMMERCIAL AND
PARKING AND LOADING AND YOUR C STREET THAT SERVES AS THE
SERVICE IS FOR YOUR LOADING, YOUR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION.
THOSE THINGS.
SO THE MASSING AND SCALE HAS BEEN DESIGNED SENSITIVE TO THE
SURROUNDING HISTORIC AREA.
THESE ARE JUST COUPLE OF ELEVATIONS.
THESE ARE PART OF THE DESIGN BOOK.
SO THERE IS ONE THAT I WILL SHOW YOU FOR EACH TYPICAL
BUILDING.
THIS IS A TYPICAL LOW-RISE DEVELOPMENT.
AND THEY -- AND THEY WILL BE CONTAINED WITHIN THE BLOCK SO
HERE IT IDENTIFIES THE BLOCKS WHICH ARE THE EASTERN BLOCKS.
CLOSEST TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT
PROVIDES FOR LOW-RISE DEVELOPMENT.
MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 65 FEET.
WITHIN THE E-2, NOT EXCEEDING 75 FEET.
THIS IS A TYPICAL MID-RISE.
THIS IS LOCATED IN THE C BLOCK AND BLOCKS E-3 AND E-6
OPINION MID-RISE DEVELOPMENT WITH MAXIMUM HEIGHT AROUND 110
FEET.
THIS IS A TYPICAL HIGH RISE.
AND THIS WILL BE LOCATED ALONG THE PERSON WITH BLOCKS W-3, W-4
AND THE CENTRAL BLOCK AND E-4 AND E-7.
I HAVE PICTURES OF THE SITE.
I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWN SOME PICTURES SO I DON'T WANT TO
DO TOO MANY.
LET ME SEE.
IN A LOT OF THE SITES FOR THE MOST PART IS VACANT, SO WE ARE
STARTING AT THE CENTRAL LOCATION.
THIS IS AT 2nd AVENUE.
THIS IS LOOKING WEST AT WHAT WOULD BE BLOCK E-3.
THIS IS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE SITE.
THIS IS ON 14th STREET.
THIS THIS IS LOOKING NORTH.
THAT IS THE VIEW CENTRAL ALSO.
E-2 WOULD BE ON THE LEFT.
BLOCK E-2.
THIS IS A CENTRAL BLOCK, C-1 IS ON THE LEFT.
.THIS IS THE ROUNDABOUT -- THE CURRENT ROUNDABOUT THAT WILL
BE OPEN SPACE AREA WEST OF C-2.
THIS IS THE NORTH END OF THE PROJECT AREA.
THIS IS ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF FOURTH AVENUE.
BLOCK E-1.
THIS IS NORTH -- THE NORTH ENDS OF THE SITE.
THAT IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THE NORTH.
THIS IS THE NORTH END OF THE SITE AND THIS IS THE VIEW
LOOKING AT THE PARCELS ON THE NORTH AND THE WEST BLOCK.
SO THE WEST BLOCK WILL BE LOCATED HERE ACROSS NUCCIO.
AND ANOTHER VIEW OF THE WEST.
THESE ARE THE NORTH BLOCKS.
THEN WE MAKE OUR WAY ON THE WESTERN BLOCK.
BLOCK W-3.
ANOTHER WESTERN VIEW THAT IS LOOKING SOUTH ON SCOTT STREET.
SO WE ARE HEADED DOWN SOUTH ON SCOTT STREET.
ANOTHER VIEW.
SOUTH ON SCOTT.
AND WE END ON THE WESTERN END OF THE SITE ON MARYLAND AND
BACK TO THE SOUTH.
AND THIS IS SOUTH OF THE EXPRESSWAY.
AND THAT IS LOOKING NORTH.
SO THIS SITE WAS HEARD BEFORE THIS PROJECT -- THIS PROJECT
WAS HEARD BEFORE THE BLC ON JUNE 28, 2020.
ON PAGE 3 OF THE STAFF REPORT, YOU WILL FIND THE
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE BLC.
THEY WERE A LIST OF RECOMMENDATION THAT ARE REQUESTED.
THERE ARE THREE.
THESE CHANGES HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED IN THE REVISED SITE
PLAN.
THE REVISED SITE PLAN DATE WAS AFTER THIS PUBLIC HEARING FOR
THE BLC.
SO THE APPLICANT WAS ABLE TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES AND
INCORPORATE THEM INTO THE SITE PLAN BUT THEY WERE THE
RESTRICTION ON THE MANAGES MUM HEIGHT OF BLOCK E-1 AND ALSO
FOR BLOCK E-2.
HEIGHT ALLOWED 65 FEET WITH A MAXIMUM OF 85 FEET PLAGUED ON
THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AND ALL BECAUSE THEY ARE
BORDERING THE HISTORIC DISTRICTS OR LOCATED IN THE HISTORIC
DISTRICT.
E-5, A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 65 FEET AND THAT HAS BEEN NOTATED
ON THE SITE PLAN AS MENTIONED.
THE DRC STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND IF INCONSISTENT.
YOU FIND FROM NATURAL RESOURCES AND ERIN WILL COME UP AND GO
OVER HER COMMENTS.
THE REVISIONS REQUIRED HAVE BEEN MADE.
WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT A PROJECT OF THIS SIZE, THE
APPLICANT HAS WORKED WITH STAFF.
IT IS HARD TO GET ALL OF THE CHANGES INTO THE SITE PLAN BY
THE DEADLINE TO REVIEW.
SO YOU SEE A LOT OF CHANGES ON THE REVISION SHEET, BUT FOR A
PROJECT OF THIS SIZE, IT IS NOT, YOU KNOW, RARE TO HAVE
THAT.
THOSE CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE.
THEY ARE MOSTLY MINOR IN NATURE.
AND THE APPLICANT AGREES TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST
AND SECOND READING.
SO WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO ERIN.
AND I AM AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
07:59:12PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. DOCK?
SEEING NONE.

7:59:43PM >>ERIN MAEHR:
GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
BEFORE YOU WE HAVE REZ 21-114 FOR GAS WORX.
MY NAME IS ERIN MAEHR WITH DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
I HAVE REVIEWED THIS PROJECT FOR NATURAL RESOURCES.
I'M JUST GOING TO GO OVER A FEW OTHER REASONS WHY NATURAL
RESOURCES WAS INCONSISTENT WITH THIS CURRENT PROJECT.
SO, CURRENTLY, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING CBD GUIDELINES
WHICH THIS WOULD AFFECT OPEN SPACE.
THE PROJECT HAS -- IS 27.23 ACRES AND GAS WORX IS PROPOSING
10% OF THE PARCEL BE OPEN SPACE, WHICH THESE ARE CBD
REQUIREMENTS.
MINIMUM 30% OF TOTAL OPEN SPACE MUST BE PLACED AT GRADE AND
MEET THE DEFINITION OF PUBLIC OPEN SPACE.
SO THIS WOULD MEAN THAT EACH OF THE 16 PARCELS WOULD GET
APPROXIMATELY 1.4% OPEN SPACE.
CURRENT CODE REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE FOR MULTIFAMILY

GREENSPACE OVER SIX STORIES IS 30% OF THE PARCEL MINUS
BUILDING FOOTPRINT.
BECAUSE, AGAIN, THIS IS IN THE CBD.
NATURAL RESOURCES STAFF, WE RECOMMEND THAT 15% OPEN SPACES
PROVIDED OVER THE ENTIRE SITE.
AND THIS WOULD MEAN THAT 6.3% OF EACH REMAINING OF THE 16
PARCELS WOULD GET -- DID I SAY THAT RIGHT?
EACH OF THE 16 PARCELS WOULD THEN GET 6.3% OPEN SPACE
INSTEAD OF 1.4.
AND THE REASON THAT WE ARE PROPOSING THESE CHANGES OUT OF
THE CBD REQUIREMENTS ARE DUE TO A COUPLE OF SURROUNDING
PDs IN THE AREA.
THE ENCORE, REZ 14-20 HAD 15% OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS.
AND ANOTHER PROJECT AT 1307 EAST 2nd AVENUE HAD 16.3%.
AND THE GTE HEADQUARTERS HAD 40% GREENSPACE.
THE OTHER REASON WE ARE PROPOSING THESE CHANGES IS DUE TO
THE CITY OF TAMPA TREE CANOPY AND URBAN FOREST ANALYSIS
REPORT FROM 2016.
IT HAS A TABLE IN THAT PROJECT THAT SAYS THE AVERAGE
GREENSPACE BY ZONING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE CATEGORY.
SO IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, IN THE CHANNEL
DISTRICT, THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 19%.
AND THIS IS A COMBINATION OF TREE CANOPY AND GRASS AND
SHRUB.
AND IN YBOR CITY, YC-1, THE AVERAGE, OR THE TREE CANOPY

GRASS SHRUB COVERAGE IS 16%.
SO THIS IS WHY WE ARE PROPOSING THE 15% OPEN SPACE.
AND THEN I'M JUST GOING TO GO ON HERE AND TALK ABOUT A
COUPLE OF THE TREE CHARACTERISTICS.
THIS IS THE SITE OF THE GAS WORX SITE WITH THE 16 DIFFERENT
PARCELS.
CURRENTLY THERE ARE 103 TREES ON THE SITE, WHICH THIS IS A
VERY SPARSELY CANOPIED LOCATION.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF TREES ON 27 ACRES, AND 62% OF THOSE
TREES ARE PALMS.
SO THERE AREN'T A LOT OF OAKS BUT THERE ARE FIVE GRAND OAKS
OR GRAND TREES ON THE SITE OVER THESE 27 ACRES.
TWO OF THEM ARE HAZARDOUS, WHICH YOU'LL SEE IN THE RED DOTS
ON YOUR ITEM IN FRONT OF YOU.
THOSE TREES ARE BEING REMOVED.
WE ARE OKAY WITH THAT.
AND THERE ARE THREE NON-HAZARDOUS GRAND TREES.
ONE OF THEM IS BEING PRESERVED.
THAT'S OVER HERE ON E-5, ALL THE WAY TO THE EAST.
AND THE OTHER ONE, NUMBER 283 IS ON W-4 PARCEL.
THAT'S BEING REMOVED, OR THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A
WAIVER FOR THAT TREE REMOVAL.
AND THEN WE HAVE W-5 WHICH IS SHOWN HERE IN THE LOWER PHOTO
IN THE SCREEN, THIS IS TREE NUMBER 287.
IT'S ON PARCEL W-5.

IT IS A 45-INCH DIAMETER LIVE OAK RATED B-5.
THIS IS LOOKING EAST FROM SCOTT STREET.
THIS TREE IS WORTH 23 MITIGATION TREES.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY I FOUND A PICTURE EARLIER TODAY, AND
I DO BELIEVE THESE TREES WERE PLANTED RIGHT AFTER THESE
BUILDINGS WERE CONSTRUCTED, WHICH WOULD MEAN THE TREES ARE
AROUND 54 YEARS OLD, I WOULD SAY.
BECAUSE YOU MIGHT ASK ME THAT, I'M SURE.
AND THEN SO THIS IS JUST TO SUM UP.
WE RECOMMEND THAT THE WAIVER IS MODIFIED TO REMOVE ONLY ONE
NON-HAZARDOUS GRAND LIVE OAK, TREE NUMBER 283, 40-INCH DBH
RATED C-5, AS SHOWN ON THE TWO REASONABLE RECON EXHIBITS
PROVIDED AT THE TIME OF INCREMENTAL.
IN ADDITION, THE OPEN SPACE CHANGES AS WELL.
THAT'S IT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
8:04:41PM >> REBECCA JOHNS.
REGARDING FILE PH 22-75730, THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT THAT GOES ALONG WITH THE SUBJECT REZONING.
YOU WERE PROVIDED A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WAS UPLOADED
INTO SIRE.
WE HAVE MADE A FEW CHANGES TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO
MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT DOES NOT BIND
THE CRA FOR ANY APPROVAL OR FOR ANY FUNDING.
THE APPLICANT MAY BE APPROACHING THE CRA REQUESTING FUNDING.

HOWEVER, THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS CONTINGENT UPON A
SEPARATE CRA FUNDING AGREEMENT BEING EXECUTED.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS
BETWEEN THE DEVELOPMENT -- BETWEEN THE DEVELOPER AND THE
CITY OF TAMPA.
IT IS NOT -- THE CRA IS NOT A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
8:05:36PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I WAS GOING TO ASK, BECAUSE THAT IS A
CRA --
8:05:39PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN GUDES, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
8:05:40PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
-- IT IS A CRA ZONE.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE
AGREEMENT ON HAND, SOME BENEFITS FOR THE PROJECT.
8:05:51PM >>REBECCA JOHNS:
CORRECT, THAT WILL BE REQUIRED IF THERE IS
CRA FUNDING.
THE DEVELOPER WILL TELL YOU MORE ABOUT THAT.
I DO KNOW THEY STARTED DISCUSSIONS WITH MS. TRAVIS AND
DRUMGO TO START THE CRA PROCESS.
8:06:06PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
IS THAT COUNCILMAN VIERA OR COUNCILMAN
CARLSON?
YOU'RE NOT UP ON THE SCREEN.
COUNCILMAN CARLSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
8:06:17PM >>BILL CARLSON:
ONE OF MY CONCERNS ALSO WAS THIS CRA THING.
AND THIS IS NOT A MESSAGE TO THE DEVELOPER OR THE
APPLICANTS.
IT'S JUST A MESSAGE TO THE CITY.

IMAGINE IF -- AND I'VE USED THIS ANALOGY BEFORE.
IMAGINE THAT THE CITY HAD AN AGREEMENT WITH HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY AND THE HABITAT PEOPLE READ IT AT THE LAST MINUTE
AND REALIZED THAT THEY WERE OBLIGATED TO DO SOMETHING IN THE
AGREEMENT.
IT SURPRISED ME WHEN I SAW THIS THE OTHER DAY.
WHOLE LIST OF PROJECTS FOR I THINK FOUR DIFFERENT CRA
DISTRICTS ARE EXPECTED TO PAY FOR.
YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF SENSITIVITY IN THE COMMUNITY
ABOUT HOW THE CRA MONEY IS SPENT.
IT'S A SPECIAL SET OF MONEY THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SPENT FOR
SESSION CIRCUMSTANCES.
AS BOARD MEMBERS, AT LEAST I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ANY OF THIS
UNTIL THREE DAYS AGO.
I'M CERTAIN THAT THE COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES AND
OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT ANY OF THIS.
I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS.
ONE IS, WHO NEGOTIATED THIS WITHOUT INFORMING ANYBODY ON THE
CRA?
NUMBER TWO, I HAD ASKED ALSO -- AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO
READ THROUGH THE NEW VERSION OF THE DOCUMENT COMPLETELY, BUT
I ASKED THAT THIS EXCEPTION SHOULD BE QUALIFIED BECAUSE CITY
OR CRA MONEY THAT WOULD PAY FOR THIS.
ONE OF THE CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS WE GET ABOUT CRA MONEY IS
THAT THE CRA SHOULD NOT PAY FOR THINGS THE CITY WOULD HAVE

OTHERWISE PAID FOR.
IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE A LOT OF THE THINGS ON THE LIST COULD BE
PAID FOR BY THE CITY INSTEAD OF THE CRA.
SO I'D RATHER THE DOCUMENT SAY THAT THE CITY OR THE CRA
WOULD PAY FOR IT.
THAT WAY IT EVEN MORE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE CRA IS
OBLIGATED.
TWO QUESTIONS.
WHO NEGOTIATED THIS WITHOUT TELLING THE CRA, ANYBODY IN CRA?
SECOND, CAN WE MAKE IT SO IT IS THE CITY AND THE CRA SO IT
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE CRA IS OBLIGATED?
8:08:17PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MS. TRAVIS.
I'M SORRY, DID YOU WANT --
8:08:23PM >> I WAS JUST GOING TO ANSWER MOST LIKELY THE SECOND
QUESTION.
THE CRA WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS BECAUSE THIS DOES NOT BIND
THE CRA.
THIS SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT IT DOES NOT BIND THE CRA AND
IT SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT IT'S CONTINGENT ON A CRA FUNDING
AGREEMENT BEING NEGOTIATED IF THE CRA APPROVES IT.
THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE THAT OBLIGATES THE CRA OR THE CITY
TO PAY FOR THESE IMPROVEMENTS.
8:08:56PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THE POINT IS THAT IF IT'S CONTINGENT ON CRA
FUNDING AND NOT CITY OR CRA FUNDING, THEN THE CRA DECIDES
NOT TO FUND IT, THEN THAT IS A BREACH OF THE AGREEMENT OR A

FAILURE IN THE AGREEMENT.
AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE CRA SHOULDN'T BE INVOLVED IN
THAT AT ALL OR AT LEAST IT SHOULD BE THE CITY OR THE CRA,
BECAUSE IF WE GO TO THE CACs AND UPROAR AND CACs DON'T
WANT TO COVER SOME PART AND THE COMMUNITY DOES NOT WANT TO
COVER, THERE'S NO OUTLET FOR THE CITY TO TAKE OVER INSTEAD.
8:09:32PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MR. MASSEY.
8:09:33PM >>MORRIS MASSEY:
I'LL LET MS. JOHNS AND MS. TRAVIS CORRECT
ME, BUT THERE IS A REVISED AGREEMENT THAT I DON'T THINK
YOU'VE SEEN, COUNCILMAN CARLSON, THAT MAKES IT REALLY CLEAR
REALLY THAT NEITHER THE CITY NOR THE CRA ARE BOUND TO FUND
ANY OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE LISTED IN
THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
IT DOES PROVIDE, THERE IS A TWO-YEAR PERIOD, I BELIEVE, FOR
THE DEVELOPER TO NEGOTIATE WITH EITHER OR BOTH THE CITY AND
THE CRA FOR FUNDING FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.
8:10:03PM >>BILL CARLSON:
SO YOU ALREADY PUT THAT IN.
8:10:11PM >> I COULDN'T HEAR WHAT HE SAID.
I COULDN'T HEAR WHAT HIS QUESTION WAS.
8:10:17PM >>BILL CARLSON:
SORRY.
THERE IS A LAG HERE.
I HAVE TALKED TO MORRIS ABOUT THIS A FEW DAYS AGO AND HE WAS
GOING TO TRY TO MAKE IT THE CITY OR CRA.
I HADN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO READ ENTIRELY THE NEW VERSION
BECAUSE IT CAME OUT A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO.

AS LONG AS IT SAYS CITY OR CRA.
IF THIS IS A REASON, IF THE CRA DECIDES NOT TO FUND
SOMETHING, I DON'T WANT THAT TO BE THE REASON THAT THIS
WHOLE PROJECT DOESN'T GO FORWARD WHEN THE CITY COULD HAVE
FUNDED IT AND ALSO THE CRA HAS NOT BEEN A PART OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR THIS NEGOTIATION AT ALL.
8:10:53PM >>MORRIS MASSEY:
I THINK -- AND AGAIN, I'LL DEFER TO THE
FOLKS THAT NEGOTIATED THE AGREEMENT, BUT I THINK THE FUNDING
OF THESE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS ARE STILL UNCLEAR.
SO THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT MAY HAVE TO BE AMENDED AT SOME
JUNCTURE.
I BELIEVE IT ALSO CONTEMPLATES INFRASTRUCTURE AGREEMENT THAT
HAS TO BE NEGOTIATED THAT HAS NOT BEEN NEGOTIATED YET.
ANY POTENTIAL CRA FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH NO OBLIGATION ON
THE PART OF THE CRA TO FUND.
THOSE ARE ALL THINGS TO BE WORKED OUT AND TO BE DETERMINED
IN A TWO-YEAR PERIOD, COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
8:11:23PM >>BILL CARLSON:
SORRY.
IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE WITH THE ANALOGY WITH HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY, SORRY, BAD ANALOGY, IF THE CITY WAS NEGOTIATING
AND THEY SAID WE'LL PAY SOME PART OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING,
THEY WOULDN'T PUT A CONTINGENCY FOR HABITAT TO BE ON THE
HOOK OR BE BLAMED IF THE DEAL DOESN'T GO THROUGH.
THE CITY WOULD SAY, WE'RE GOING TO COVER THIS IN SOME WAY
AND, BY THE WAY, WE'RE GOING TO ASK HABITAT TO PARTICIPATE

WITH US.
BECAUSE THE CRA IS A COMPLETE SEPARATE ENTITY.
SO THE CRA SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD SUCH A BIG ROLE IN THIS,
ESPECIALLY WITHOUT CRA BOARD EVEN BEING INFORMED OF IT.
8:12:00PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MS. TRAVIS.
8:12:03PM >> IF I MAY, COUNCILMAN CARLSON'S QUESTION ABOUT WHO
NEGOTIATED THIS AGREEMENT AND WITH THE CRA, I AM THE PERSON
THAT HAS BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEVELOPER AND HIS
CONSULTANTS AND HIS ATTORNEY.
THERE IS NO FORMAL AGREEMENT RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE NOT AT THE LEVEL OF DETAIL TO OUTLINE WHAT
SPECIFICALLY WE ARE.
WE KNOW THERE IS AN ASK -- THERE WILL BE AN ASK OF THE CRA.
WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT.
WE DO NOT HAVE IT FIGURED OUT AND THERE'S NOTHING CONCRETE
FOR ME TO PRESENT TO THE CAC OR TO THE CRA BOARD AT THIS
TIME.
THE APPLICANT'S ATTORNEY CAN SPEAK TO MORE WHY THEY NEEDED
THIS AS A PART OF THE AGREEMENT.
IN DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS, IT IS REALLY HARD WHEN YOU HAVE
DEVELOPMENTS OF THIS SIZE, IF YOU'RE THINKING OF DIFFERENT
FUNDING SOURCES TO MAKE THE PROJECT HOLISTIC AND COMPLETE,
THE AGREEMENT NEEDS TO AT LEAST CONTEMPLATE THAT YOU ARE
GOING TO TALK TO ANOTHER AGENCY FOR FUNDING.
I UNDERSTAND THE REQUEST TO PUT CITY OR CRA CAN CONTRIBUTE

TO THE PROJECT THAT COUNCILMAN CARLSON IS ASKING FOR, BUT
THIS DOES NOT BIND THE CRA IN ANY WAY.
I CAN'T APPROVE ANYTHING WITHOUT THE CRA BOARD.
SO IT WOULD COME BEFORE THE CRA BOARD.
THIS IS MERELY TO CONTINUE THIS DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SCALE
MOVING FORWARD ON A PATH TO COMPLETION.
8:13:28PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN GUDES.
8:13:29PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I THINK THE QUESTION IS, AND I KIND OF SEE
MR. CARLSON'S POINT, IS THAT I'M JUST HANDED THIS PACKET.
YOU SAY IT CAME OUT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.
SO THIS CAME OUT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, I MEAN, THIS IS A LOT
TO READ IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
WHEN I OPENED THE PACKET, ALL I SEE IS CRA, CRA WHEN I READ
IT.
8:13:57PM >>REBECCA JOHNS:
THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS LOADED TWO
WEEKS AGO PRIOR TO THE HEARING.
PURSUANT TO COUNCILMAN CARLSON'S CONCERNS, WE WENT BACK THIS
WEEK AND WORKED WITH THE DEVELOPER AND REVISED THE AGREEMENT
TO SPECIFICALLY CLARIFY THAT THE CRA WAS NOT OBLIGATED TO
APPROVE ANY OF THIS, TO PAY FOR ANY OF THIS UNTIL THERE WAS
A CRA FUNDING AGREEMENT.
8:14:21PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MY ONLY STILL CONCERN IS, THIS IS GOING TO
BE A MAJOR PROJECT FOR THE CITY, IS IT NOT?
8:14:29PM >> ABSOLUTELY.
8:14:29PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
THIS IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR PROJECT FOR THE

CITY.
AND WE HAVE A DOCUMENT OF THIS MAGNITUDE.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH STUFF I READ.
8:14:36PM >> IT WAS PRESENTED TWO WEEKS AGO.
IT WAS LOAD INTO SIRE TWO WEEKS AGO.
THE DOCUMENT.
THE ONLY THING THAT HAS CHANGED IS FURTHER CLARIFICATION
THAT THE CRA IS NOT FINANCIALLY BOUND TO ANYTHING IN THIS
AGREEMENT.
8:14:47PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
IN THAT CASE, I ONLY WISH THAT CALL, E-MAIL
US, MAKE SURE WE CHECK WITH THIS KIND OF PROJECT, WITH THREE
PROJECTS ON HERE TONIGHT TO BE VOTED ON POSSIBLY, I HAVEN'T
GONE THROUGH THIS WHOLE DOCUMENT.
8:15:03PM >>MORRIS MASSEY:
CLARIFY ONE THING, YOU ARE NOT VOTING ON
THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TONIGHT.
THERE ARE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS.
THIS IS JUST THE FIRST HEARING.
YOU WILL NOT BE VOTING ON THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FORMALLY
UNTIL THE NEXT FINAL HEARING.
UNDER STATE LAW, WE HAVE TO HAVE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS BEFORE
YOU CAN ADOPT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
8:15:28PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ARE YOU FINISHED, COUNCILMAN GUDES?
8:15:30PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
I'M FINISHED.
8:15:31PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON, ARE YOU FINISHED?
8:15:34PM >>BILL CARLSON:
JUST TO REITERATE AGAIN, SORRY TO BE A

BROKEN RECORD, I THINK IT'S IN BAD FORM AND DISRESPECTFUL TO
OBLIGATE A THIRD PARTY AND EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT SIGNING THAT
THEY WILL DO SOMETHING.
WHAT IT SHOULD SAY INSTEAD IS THAT THE CITY WILL DO ITS BEST
TO WORK WITH THIRD PARTIES TO GET THE FUNDING FOR THE
PROJECTS.
AND THEN THE CITY WOULD GO TO THE CRA.
WE SIT AS A CRA BOARD IN OTHER MEETINGS, AND THE OTHER WAY
TO DO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO COME TO THE CRA BOARD AND HAVE
AN INITIAL CONVERSATION ABOUT IT.
BUT AT LEAST WITH ME, I HAD NO CONVERSATIONS WITH ANYBODY
ABOUT IT UNTIL A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.
ONCE WE TOOK THIS OUT OF THE CAC AND OTHERS, THEY MAY SAY
YAY OR NAY, BUT ALSO WHAT THEY MAY SAY IS, HEY, CERTAIN
THINGS HERE SHOULD BE PAID BY THE CITY NOT THE CRA.
I WOULD JUST ASK IN THE FUTURE THAT THE CITY BE RESPECTFUL
OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE CRA AND THAT WE
UNDERSTAND THAT THE CRA IS A SEPARATE ENTITY JUST LIKE WE
WOULD NOT OBLIGATE BANK OF AMERICA OR HABITAT OR ANYBODY
ELSE.
BECAUSE THERE IS A WHOLE APPARATUS THAT MANAGES IT.
AGAIN, AS I SAID AT THE BEGINNING, IT'S NO CRITICISM OF ANY
OF THE PROPOSALS.
IT'S JUST FROM A CITY POINT OF VIEW, I THINK WE NEED TO
REMEMBER THAT THOSE ARE TWO SEPARATE ENTITIES AND WE CAN'T

--
8:17:10PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON, YOUR COMMENTS ARE DULY
NOTED.
FROM MY TIME ON CRA, CACs, NO MONEYS ARE OBLIGATED WITHOUT
FIRST BEING APPROVED BY THAT CAC CRA.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
8:17:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE HAVE A CRA MEETING ON THE 18th.
IS THIS SOMETHING YOU PLAN TO BRING TO TALK TO THE BOARD
ABOUT?
8:17:41PM >> NO.
8:17:42PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
JUST CURIOUS.
8:17:44PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THERE IS NO CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT WITH THE
CRA TO BRING IT TO THE CRA BOARD.
AM I WRONG OR RIGHT?
8:17:52PM >> THAT'S CORRECT.
8:17:53PM >>MORRIS MASSEY:
WE'RE JUST NOT AT THAT JUNCTURE.
8:17:55PM >> AS SOON AS WE GET MORE DETAILS AND WE GET TO THAT POINT,
I CANNOT NEGOTIATE AS YOUR CRA DIRECTOR OR AS THE
ADMINISTRATIVE DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY WITHOUT
BRINGING THAT TO THE CAC TO GET THEIR CONCURRENCE TO MAKE
SURE THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT TO SUPPORT AND THAT
THE CRA BOARD WANTS TO SUPPORT.
OUR INITIAL CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN AROUND THE OVERALL PLAN

AND WHAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING TONIGHT FOR THE ZONING, THE
MASTER PLANNING, IF YOU WILL, OF THIS LARGE-SCALE
DEVELOPMENT.
ANY FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS THAT WE START TO OUTLINE AND PUT
INTO AN AGREEMENT WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE YOU.
AND I WILL MEET WITH YOU ONE ON ONE AS I OFTEN DO WITH ANY
LARGE-SCALE INITIATIVE.
8:18:39PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OF MS. JOHNS OR
MS. TRAVIS?
8:18:43PM >>REBECCA JOHNS:
I WANTED TO MAKE ONE LAST POINT THAT THIS
AGREEMENT WILL BE UPDATED PRIOR TO THE SECOND HEARING BASED
ON THE CHANGE OF ENTITLEMENTS IN THE REZONING AND ANY
CHANGES TO THE REZONING SITE PLAN.
8:18:54PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
NOW WE HAVE HEARD 12, 13, AND 14.
IS THIS CORRECT?
8:19:10PM >>MORRIS MASSEY:
FROM STAFF.
8:19:11PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
PETITIONER, YOUR TURN.
UNLESS IT'S REQUESTED, LET'S PROCEED AS WE ARE.
FORWARD.
PETITIONER.
8:19:57PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS TYLER HUDSON.
400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
IT IS AN HONOR TO BE HERE THIS EVENING ON BEHALF OF THE GAS

WORX PROJECT.
I WANT TO THANK COUNCIL FOR ALLOWING US TO MOVE UP ON THE
AGENDA.
I PROMISE WE WILL BE VERY EFFICIENT WITH OUR TIME.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY AND A LITTLE BIT OF A LONG
EVENING.
WE HAVE TWO ITEM OPENS, TWO OPEN QUASI-ITEMS.
I WOULD LIKE TO BORROW FIVE MINUTES FROM REBUTTAL TO GIVE US
35 MINUTES IN OUR MAIN PRESENTATION.
WE REHEARSED THIS AT 30 MINUTES.
WE'LL TAKE EVERY EFFORT TO GET IT DONE EVEN FASTER THAN
THAT.
I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE PROJECT TEAM THAT'S BEEN WORKING
ON THIS PROJECT FOR OVER TWO AND A HALF YEARS NOW.
GAS WORX IS A VISION OF A DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
DARRYL SHAW AND KETTLER.
GRANT TYRELL WITH KETTLER IS GOING TO BE SPEAKING ON THEIR
BEHALF.
AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF PLANNING AND DESIGN WORK GOES
OBVIOUSLY INTO A PROJECT OF THIS MAGNITUDE AND THOSE EFFORTS
HAVE BEEN LED BY SASAKI, REPRESENTED BY ALAN WARD -- HE'S
GOING TO SPEAK AFTER ME -- AS WELL AS DESIGN COLLECTIVE,
REPRESENTED BY NICK MANSPERGER WHO WILL SPEAK AFTER ALAN.
WE HAVE A BACKBONE OF SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS THAT HAVE
WORKED ON THE APPLICATION FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.

RANDY COEN IS OUR TRANSPORTATION EXPERT WITH COEN AND
COMPANY.
BOHLER IS OUR CIVIL ENGINEERING FIRM REPRESENTED HERE BY
GREG ROTH.
FINALLY, WE HAVE RICKY PETERIKA, THE FOUNDER OF DARK MOSS,
WHO IS THE PROJECT ARBORIST.
THE PROJECT THAT WE'RE PRESENTING HERE, THE THREE ITEMS THAT
ARE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING ARE REALLY THE CULMINATION OF
MULTIPLE APPROVALS THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS ALREADY PROVIDED TO
THE PROJECT, PERHAPS A LITTLE MORE INDIRECT, LESS SPECIFICS
THAN THE APPROVALS WE'RE SEEKING THIS EVENING.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES HAPPENED, I BELIEVE FILED IN
MID 2020, MAYBE JUST AFTER THE PANDEMIC STARTED.
PDA, FLEXIBLE ZONING INSTRUMENTS THAT LaCHONE DID A GREAT
JOB DESCRIBING.
THOSE ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR PROJECTS OF 50 ACRES OR LARGER.
THERE AREN'T A LOT OF 50-ACRE TRACTS OF LAND LEFT IN THE
CITY OF TAMPA.
THIS COUNCIL WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO LOWER THAT THRESHOLD
DOWN TO 20 ACRES.
WE PROMISED AT THAT HEARING THAT WE WOULD BE GOOD STEWARDS
OF THAT FLEXIBILITY AND BRING A PROJECT THAT SHOWED WHY THAT
FLEXIBILITY IS REQUIRED.
IN ADDITION TO THAT PDA THRESHOLD REDUCTION THIS COUNCIL HAS
APPROVED MULTIPLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS.

THE SITE IS REALLY A PATCHWORK OF HEAVY INDUSTRIAL, LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL AND THEN SOME EXTREMELY LOW DENSITY MIXED USE
FUTURE LAND USE.
THIS COUNCIL HAS APPROVED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENTS
FOR OVER A DOZEN ACRES GOING UP TO RMU 100, UME 60, AND
FULLY REALLY DEINDUSTRIALIZING THE AREA, WHICH IS CONSISTENT
WITH WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN THE CHANNEL DISTRICT JUST TO
THE SOUTH.
FINALLY, I WOULD NOTE THAT COUNCIL MAY RECALL LAST DECEMBER
WE WERE HERE FOR WHAT WE CALL PHASE ONE OF GAS WORX.
THAT IS REALLY AT THE MOST NORTHWESTERLY PART OF THE
PROJECT.
IT'S WEST OF NUCCIO.
THAT'S ABOUT 720 DWELLING UNITS, 20,000 SQUARE FEET OF
RETAIL THAT THIS COUNCIL APPROVED BACK IN DECEMBER.
THAT'S A PD.
THAT'S NOT BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.
THAT'S SEPARATE.
ONE DAY WE MIGHT WANT TO BRING IT BACK INTO THIS PDA.
ALL OF THOSE APPROVALS ARE WHAT PUT US IN THE POSITION TO
ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL ON THESE TWO ITEMS TONIGHT.
JUST TO REITERATE, I SAID TWO ITEMS.
NOW I HAVE SOMETHING WITH FOUR NUMBERS.
LET ME EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE APPROVING THIS EVENING.
THE FIRST THING IS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATING THAT ROSS

ALLUDED TO.
YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT ON SCREEN.
THAT IS FOR THIS PORTION OF WHAT WAS MISSISSIPPI AVENUE.
UP HERE IS FOR 3rd AVENUE.
THE REASON WHY WE WANT TO VACATE THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY BECAUSE
IT WILL ALLOW US TO PUT IN MIXED-USE TRAILS THAT WILL GO
ALONG ADAMO DRIVE.
FOR 3rd AVENUE, WE'RE TRYING TO VACATE THAT TO PUT IN
PLACE A PEDESTRIAN ONLY THOROUGHFARE THAT WE'RE CALLING THE
PASEO, WHICH ALAN WILL TALK TO YOU ABOUT IN A LITTLE BIT.
SECOND THING IS THE PDA REZONING ITSELF.
RIGHT NOW THIS LAND IS A MIXTURES, HODGEPODGE OF VARIOUS
ZONING CATEGORIES.
SEEKING TO PUT ALL 26 ACRES UNDER A PDA SITE PLAN.
IT'S CONCEPTUAL.
IT'S A BUBBLE PLAN.
DOESN'T HAVE EXACTLY WHERE THE TRASH COMPACTOR IS GOING TO
BE AND WHERE THE PARKING SPACES ARE BUT ALLOWS US TO DEVELOP
UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 5.2 MILLION SQUARE FEET.
RANGES OF WHERE WE THINK WE'LL END UP, OFFICE DEVELOPMENT,
RETAIL DEVELOPMENT, DWELLING UNITS.
THAT'S ACCOMPANIED BY A DESIGN GUIDELINES BOOK THAT I THINK
AT FINAL COUNT GOT TO AROUND 86 PAGES.
THAT'S THE SET OF RULES.
THAT'S OUR PLAYBOOK.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE USING THE STANDARD CHAPTER 27 RULES
FOR WHICH WE WOULD BE SEEKING WAIVERS AS THIS COUNCIL SEES
ONCE OR TWICE ON A USUAL THURSDAY EVENING.
WE'RE IMPOSING OUR OWN DESIGN REGULATIONS ON OURSELVES.
THAT'S WHAT ALAN WILL TALK ABOUT NOW.
BORING PART IS OVER.
TURN IT OVER TO ALAN AND HE'LL WALK THROUGH GAS WORX.
8:24:50PM >> GOOD EVENING.
I'M ALAN WARD WITH SASAKI.
I'LL SUMMARIZE THE VISION AND PLAN FOR THE GAS WORX
DISTRICT.
THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING SOUTH FROM YBOR CITY TOWARDS
DOWNTOWN.
YOU CAN SEE THE SITE IS OUTLINED IN RED, 27 OR SO ACRES.
YOU SEE THE SITE TODAY IS MOSTLY INDUSTRIAL USES OR VACANT
LAND.
AND I'LL COVER THESE FOUR TOPICS TO SUMMARIZE OUR PLAN
BEGINNING WITH THE HISTORIC CONTEXT.
THERE ARE SOME INTERESTING OLDER IMAGES TO SEE THE EVOLUTION
OF THIS SITE.
HERE IS THE SITE IN 1938.
YOU CAN SEE DOMINATED BY THE GAS WORX FACILITY ITSELF AND
THE GRID WAS NOT TOTALLY INTACT HERE EXCEPT WEST OF THE
RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY.
YOU CAN SEE THERE WAS INTACT THE CITY GRID.

WE'RE GOING TO RESTORE THAT AND BRING THAT BACK AS PART OF
THIS PLAN.
HERE ARE VIEWS IN THE 1920s LOOKING NORTH FROM 4th
AVENUE.
THAT IS THE FLORIDA BREWERY BUILDING IN THE FOREGROUND AND
THEN THE FABRIC AND TEXTURE OF YBOR CITY NORTH OF THIS SITE.
SO WE'RE SOUTH OF THAT AREA.
THEN WHEN YOU LOOK SOUTH ON, THAT SHOULD SAY 15th STREET
OR CHANNELSIDE LATER, YOU CAN SEE LARGELY VACANT, EXCEPT FOR
THE GAS WORX FACILITY AND SOME WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS.
SO HERE WE ARE IN 1920s AGAIN.
THERE IS THE GAS WORX FACILITY DOMINATING THE SITE.
HERE IS THE EDGE OF YBOR CITY LOOKING SOUTH FROM 6th
AVENUE, LARGELY VACANT AT THAT TIME.
THIS WAS KIND OF A COLLECTION AREA FOR INDUSTRIAL USES,
PIECES OF CITY INFRASTRUCTURE, HIGHWAYS AND SO FORTH.
OUR GOAL HERE IS TO KNIT THIS BACK TOGETHER AND RECONNECT IT
TO THE CITY.
HERE'S A VIEW LOOKING NORTH.
THAT'S THE FLORIDA BREWERY BUILDING TOWARDS THE CENTER ON
5th AVENUE, AND HERE YOU SEE THE OLDER HISTORIC FABRIC
THAT WAS REMOVED DURING URBAN RENEWAL FOR TAMPA PARK
APARTMENTS, WHICH WE'RE NOW REINSTATING THAT URBAN FABRIC
WITH NEW REDEVELOPMENT TO BRING IT BACK TO THAT KIND OF
SCALE AND CHARACTER.

SO THIS WAS THIS COLLECTION AREA OF ALL THESE INDUSTRIAL
USES.
IT'S STRATEGICALLY LOCATED AND WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY HERE
TO MAKE CONNECTIONS AND KIND OF REPAIR THIS PART OF THE CITY
AND MAKE CONNECTIONS NORTH AND EAST TO HISTORIC YBOR CITY.
TO THE WEST, TO THE ENCORE DISTRICT AND THEN IT EXTENDS
SOUTH TO THE CHANNEL DISTRICT AND TIE THESE AREAS TOGETHER
WITH TRAILS, PATHS, NEW URBAN STREETS.
SO THE FIRST AND KEY ELEMENT IS TO BRING BACK THE GRID,
WHICH WAS LARGELY LOST OVER THE YEARS WITH TWO KEY
CONNECTIONS.
YOU SEE 4th AVENUE IS STRAIGHTENED OUT.
IT REPLACES THE ROUNDABOUT, THE LARGE CURVING STREET.
MAKES A LINK OVER THE RAILROAD TO NICK NUCCIO PARKWAY TO THE
WEST.
LIKEWISE, ADAMO DRIVE IS LINKED OVER THE RAILROAD TO NICK
NUCCIO PARKWAY AS WELL.
TWO IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS MADE WITHIN THE PATTERN OF THE
GRID AND REESTABLISHING THE GRID IN THE HEART OF THE PLAN AS
WELL AS WHERE POSSIBLE ON THE TAMPA PARK SITE, TAMPA PARK
PARTICLES SITE.
AT THE CENTER, YOU SEE THAT DOT.
THAT MEANS THIS WHOLE AREA IS WITHIN A FIVE-MINUTE WALK
BASED ON THAT RADIUS.
THAT DOT IS ON A KEY PARCEL AND KEY BUILDING, OLD WAREHOUSE

BUILDING.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW THAT BECOMES REUSED AS PART OF THE
HEART OF THIS REDEVELOPMENT.
SO WITH THESE NEW STREETS, THEY ARE SCALED TO BE COMPATIBLE
WITH HISTORIC YBOR STREETS, TWO LANES, ONE LANE EACH
DIRECTION, SHADED SIDEWALKS.
SO IT TAKES THE SCALE AND CHARACTER OF HISTORIC YBOR INTO
THIS DISTRICT WITH THE NEW STREETS AND THEY ARE ALSO SCALED
TO BE VERY COMPATIBLE FOR THE BICYCLIST AS WELL.
THERE ALSO ARE SOME IMPORTANT TRAIL CONNECTIONS THAT WE CAN
ADD TO OR SUPPLEMENT.
YOU SEE THE GREEN LINE ON THE BOTTOM IS THE EXISTING SELMON
GREENWAY ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF ADAMO.
IT LOOPS UP TO CHANNELSIDE, BACK DOWN TO THE SELMON
EXPRESSWAY.
UNDER IT IS A RENDERING OF IT ON THE RIGHT.
WE'RE ADDING AN EAST-WEST CONNECTOR ON THAT NORTH SIDE OF
ADAMO THAT YOU HEARD ABOUT EARLIER IN THAT VACATED LAND.
IT EXTENDS WEST OVER THE RAILROAD, CONNECTS OVER TO NICK
NUCCIO PARKWAY.
CONNECTS SELMON WEST TO THE PARKWAY.
ANOTHER NEW TRAIL IN THE PLAN IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THAT
CURVING RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY.
AND THAT IS A REALLY INTRIGUING CONNECTION BECAUSE IT LINKS
YOU FROM THE RIVERWALK, WATER STREET IN THE SOUTH, ALL THE

WAY UP TO THE HEART OF YBOR CITY.
SO THESE ARE IMPORTANT NEW CONNECTIONS AND LINKAGES THAT ARE
BROUGHT TO THIS AREA.
SO WITH THIS OVERLAY OF THE NEW STREETS IT BRINGS THE PUBLIC
STREETS AND THEIR SIDEWALKS, KIND OF AN OVERLAY ON WHAT WAS
A MUCH LARGER SCALE DISTRICT INDUSTRIAL AREA.
ALSO, THE TRAILS ARE PART OF THE NEW PUBLIC FRAMEWORK I JUST
DESCRIBED.
THERE ALSO ARE SOME KEY PUBLIC SPACES.
YOU SEE ON THAT BLOCK E-2 JUST TO THE WEST OF IT IS A NEW
PARK, WHICH IS ON THE LAND THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY THE
ROUNDABOUT FOR CARS.
THAT BECOMES NEW PARK FOR PEOPLE.
JUST SOUTH OF E-2 IS THE VACATED THIRD AVENUE WHICH BECOMES
A PASEO, A PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION THAT LEADS INTO THAT PARK
SPACE TO CHANNELSIDE AND JUST ADJACENT TO THEN IS THE
PROPOSED NEW STREETCAR STOP.
THAT STARTS TO BECOME THE FOCUS AND THE HEART OF THE
REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS DISTRICT, THE HEART OF THE MIXED USE
PROGRAM WHERE FOOD, BEVERAGE, AND RETAIL WILL OCCUR AROUND
THAT LOCUS OF PUBLIC OPEN SPACE, PASEO, STREETCAR STOP AND
THE REUSE OF THIS INDUSTRIAL BUILDING, WHICH WE'LL SHOW YOU
IN MORE DETAIL.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OTHER OPEN SPACES ALSO TO THE SOUTH
ALONG THE RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY AS WELL.

SO THIS INDUSTRIAL BUILDING, WAREHOUSE BUILDING, IT OCCUPIES
THE WHOLE BLOCK.
IT'S RATHER LARGE.
THE MOST INTERESTING FEATURE ARE THESE GREAT TRUSSES INSIDE
OF IT.
SO WE'RE PROPOSING TO ADAPTIVELY REUSE IT FOR RESTAURANTS
WITH OUTDOOR DINING THAT WOULD EXTEND TO THE PASEO.
CARVING SOME OF THE BUILDING FOR AN OUTDOOR COURTYARD, FOR
OUTDOOR DINING AND ADDING A COLLECTION OF OTHER USES TO
BRING IT TO LIFE AND TO MAKE THIS HEART.
POTENTIALLY A BREWERY WITH A MARKET HALL WITH NUMBER OF
VENDORS COWORKING OR CREATIVE OFFICE SPACE.
PERHAPS A CULTURAL ARTS USE WITH SOME EVENTS THAT WOULD BE
PROGRAMMED HERE.
EVENT SPACE THAT PEOPLE COULD RENT OUT AS KIND OF A
CENTERPIECE IN THE COMMUNITY.
THIS IS A REAL PLACE OF DISCOVERY WHERE ALL THESE KIND OF
ACTIVITIES AT THE HEART WOULD OCCUR WITHIN THIS BUILDING.
YOU'LL SEE MORE ILLUSTRATIONS OF THAT AS WE GO FORWARD.
SO HERE'S A RENDERING ON 14th STREET LOOKING SOUTH.
SO THAT'S 3rd AVENUE TO THE RIGHT WHICH BECOMES THE PASEO.
THAT'S JUST SOUTH OF THE REUSE INDUSTRIAL BUILDING ON THE
RIGHT.
THAT'S WHERE THE RESTAURANTS WOULD OPEN UP ON THAT PASEO,
LIKE YOU SEE IN THE IMAGES ON THE RIGHT.

THIS ALSO SHOWS THE SCALE OF BUILDINGS TRANSITIONING DOWN
FROM TALLER BUILDINGS TOWARDS THE SELMON EXPRESSWAY TO LOWER
BUILDINGS KIND OF IN THE HEART OF THINGS AND LOWER YET AS
YOU GET NEAR HISTORIC YBOR CITY.
YOU'LL SEE MORE OF THAT IN THE 3D MODELS AS WE GO FORWARD.
THIS RENDERING IS LOOKING EAST.
WE'RE JUST KIND OF OVER THE RAILROAD AND NICK NUCCIO PARKWAY
LOOKING TOWARDS THAT REUSE INDUSTRIAL BUILDING IN THE
BACKGROUND.
THAT'S 4th AVENUE ON THE LEFT, THE PASEO AND 3rd AVENUE
ON THE RIGHT.
HERE IS THIS KEY PARK SPACE.
IT'S ADJACENT TO THE STREETCAR STOP, ADJACENT TO THE MIXED
USE IN THIS ADAPTIVELY REUSE BUILDING.
WATER FEATURE.
A FLEXIBLE LAWN WHERE EVENTS CAN BE PROGRAMMED ON THE
WEEKENDS AND AT OTHER TIMES, KIND OF IN THE SPIRIT OF WHAT
YOU SEE HERE ON THE RIGHT.
SO THAT'S KIND OF A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE OVERALL PLAN.
NOW NICK MANSPERGER WILL DIVE DEEP NEAR THE DESIGN CHARACTER
OF THE BUILDING AND SOME OF THE BLOCKS.
8:33:00PM >> I'M NICK WITH DESIGN COLLECTIVE ARCHITECTS.
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW A COUPLE OF IMAGES OF THE EXISTING
CHARACTER AND THEN A FLY-THROUGH OF THE VISION FOR THE GAS
WORX.

SO THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS AND WITH THE PACKET AND
EVERYTHING YOU'VE SEEN, WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN COGNIZANT OF THE
HISTORIC NATURE OF YBOR CITY AND HOW THE RICH HISTORIC
CHARACTER OF THAT ARCHITECTURE SHOULD BE INFLUENCED -- OR
SHOULD BE INFLUENCING THE SCALE AND LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT
WILL HAPPEN IN THE DEVELOPMENT.
A COUPLE OF VERY SPECIFIC THINGS SUCH AS THE ORNATE
BRICKWORK THAT WE SEE IN MANY OF THE BUILDINGS IN YBOR CITY
AND ALONG 7th.
WE SEE A LOT OF LARGER SCALE TALLER WINDOWS THAT REALLY
START TO SET UP SOME OF THE CHARACTER OF THAT ARCHITECTURE.
ALSO, THE BALCONIES THAT WE SEE ALONG 7th AVENUE AND IN
THE DISTRICT ARE OFTEN CLUSTERED TOGETHER.
SOMETIMES THEY ARE PRIVATE BALCONIES AND SOMETIMES THEY ARE
PUBLIC OR COMMERCIAL BALCONIES THAT SET UP A GROUND LEVEL
AND SECOND LEVEL PUBLIC ELEMENT TO THE EXPERIENCE IN YBOR.
THESE ARE ALL ELEMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE UTILIZED AS
TOOLS AND DEVICES IN THE ARCHITECTURE AND THE CHARACTER IN
THIS DEVELOPMENT JUST THE SOUTH OF HISTORIC YBOR.
AS WE LOOK AT THE SCALE OF THE BUILDINGS, THIS BECAME A VERY
IMPORTANT ELEMENT, ESPECIALLY IN WORKING WITH THE BARRIO
LATINO COMMISSION.
THE LEFT IMAGE, YOU CAN SEE A VIEW LOOKING TOWARDS DOWNTOWN
TAMPA.
HISTORIC YBOR IS IN THE FOREGROUND OF THAT IMAGE.

WE'RE LOOKING TO THE SOUTHWEST.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE SCALE AND THE TEXTURE OF EXISTING YBOR
CITY IS MIRRORED IN THE INITIAL BUILDINGS OF OUR DEVELOPMENT
AND THAT THE SCALE OF THOSE BUILDINGS THEN BEGIN TO RISE AS
WE GO FURTHER SOUTH TOWARDS THE EXPRESSWAY.
AND THAT'S VERY PURPOSEFUL AS WAS EXPRESSED EARLIER WITH
THREE DIFFERENT SETS OF HEIGHT LIMITS BEING THE LOWEST IN
THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND GOING TOWARD HIGH-RISES THAT ARE
AGAINST THE HIGHWAY.
THE IMAGE ON THE RIGHT IS A SOUTHEAST-LOOKING PERSPECTIVE.
SO IN THE FOREGROUND, THE TREE-LINED STREET IS NUCCIO COMING
IN AND HITTING THE 7th AVENUE INTERSECTION.
SO YOU CAN SEE AGAIN THE SCALE OF EXISTING YBOR.
YOU CAN SEE THE FLORIDA BREWERY ABOUT CENTER ON THAT RIGHT
IMAGE AND HOW THAT HAS A PROMINENCE AND HIERARCHY WITHIN THE
COMMUNITY AND SOMETHING TO BE MAINTAINED EVEN WITH THIS NEW
DEVELOPMENT.
THE PROPOSED BUILDINGS IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THAT SITE ARE
ACTUALLY LOWER THAN THAT BREWERY AND THEN BEGIN TO SCALE UP
AGAIN AS IT GOES FURTHER SOUTH TOWARDS THE EXPRESSWAY.
THE NEXT IMAGE IS NOT NECESSARILY TO BE STUDIED FOR
ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER, BUT JUST TO BE SUGGESTIVE OF THE
SCALE OF BUILDINGS THAT ARE BEING LOOKED AT FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT.
SO WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT LOOKING AT LOW DENSITY, YOU

CAN SEE IN THIS RENDERING THREE TO FIVE STORIES ALLOWING
THOSE SCALES TO CHANGE AS WE CROSS STREETS.
AS WE GET TOWARDS THE MIDDLE IMAGE, WE'RE AT THE MIDDLE
PORTION OF THE SITE FROM A NORTH-SOUTH PERSPECTIVE.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT BUILDINGS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT TALLER.
THEY CELEBRATE THEIR COMMERCIAL ASPECT, THE MIXED-USE ON THE
GROUND FLOOR AND RESIDENTIAL, OFFICE OR HOTEL ABOVE.
MANY OF THESE BUILDINGS HAVE ELEVATED COURTYARDS OR AT-GRADE
COURTYARDS THAT MIGHT BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AS YOU CAN SEE
IN THAT CENTER IMAGE AS WELL IN TERMS OF BEING EXPRESSIVE
OUT TO THE STREETSCAPE.
THE SOUTHERNMOST PART OF THE SITE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
HIGH-RISE DEVELOPMENT.
AGAIN, THIS COULD BE OFFICE, HOTEL OR RESIDENTIAL, BUT
ARCHITECTURE THAT IS ABLE TO OBTAIN VIEWS OVER TO THE
BAYFRONT THAT'S TO THE SOUTH AND GET ABOVE THAT ELEVATED
EXPRESSWAY.
AS A CONCEPTUAL RENDERING AND AGAIN JUST CONCEPTUAL
ARCHITECTURE SO SHOULDN'T BE FOCUSING ON DETAILS OF THE
BUILDING.
THIS IS A VIEW HOVERING OVER 7th AND LOOKING SOUTH.
NUCCIO TOWARD THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT TO THE RIGHT.
BUILDING IN THE FOREGROUND OF THE IMAGE ARE NORTHERNMOST
IMAGINE THAT FALL UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE BARRIO LATINO
COMMISSION.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THAT GROUP TO GET THE SCALE
APPROPRIATE TO WORK WITH THE CONTEXT OF HISTORIC YBOR.
AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THAT SCALE THAT BEGINS TO RISE UP TOWARD
THE HIGH-RISES AT THE VERY SOUTH SIDE.
WE HAVE A VIDEO WE'RE GOING TO SHARE NOW THAT IS ABOUT TWO
AND A HALF MINUTES.
IT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF THE CHARACTER AND THE PLACE-MAKING
THAT WE'RE INTENDING FOR THE SITE.
IT COMES WITH MUSIC.
WE'LL TRY TO TURN IT DOWN SO WE CAN TALK OVER IT.
CAN YOU SEE THE VIDEO?
8:37:40PM >> WE'RE GOING TO SKIP THE VIDEO.
8:40:04PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS GRAHAM TYRELL.
APPRECIATE BEING HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE GAS WORX PROJECT.
SORRY WE COULDN'T GET THE VIDEO TO WORK.
ALAN AND NICK REALLY DESCRIBED THE OVERALL PHYSICAL
MANIFESTATION OF GAS WORX.
I WANT TO TALK MORE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS ASPECT OF
THE PROJECT.
IT REALLY FALLS INTO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT BUCKETS -- THE
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, HISTORIC
PRESERVATION, AND THEN REALLY SOME OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS
THAT WE SEE COMING FROM THE PROJECT AS WELL.
STARTING WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, OBVIOUSLY, IN

A PROJECT OF THIS SIZE, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
REQUIREMENTS NEEDED.
A LOT OF THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE IS SUBSTANDARD OR
REALLY DOESN'T EXIST TODAY.
AS ALAN SAID WE'RE ADDING NEW STREETS.
A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS ADDING IN NEW
STREETS, NEW UTILITIES, AND WE HAVE AS MUCH AS 1.8 MILES OF
THOSE.
IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL NEIGHBORHOOD, OBVIOUSLY, STORMWATER
TREATMENT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED AND WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT
THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.
WE ALSO HAVE -- YOU CAN SEE THE IMAGE THERE ON THE RIGHT.
WE HAVE A LOT OF OVERHEAD POWER LINES IN THE AREA.
THERE IS A SUBSTATION THAT SITS RIGHT AT 14th AND 4th
AVENUE.
SO WE'RE TALKING TO TECO ABOUT PUTTING A LOT OF THAT
OVERHEAD POWER LINE INFRASTRUCTURE UNDERGROUND AS WELL UP TO
THE EXTENT OF ANOTHER --
AND THEN A BIG PART OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AS WELL IS
THE CSX CROSSINGS.
OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVE A BARRIER, IF YOU WILL, WITH THE CSX RAIL
LINE.
WE DO HAVE ONE EXISTING CROSSING TODAY AT THE ROUNDABOUT.
WE'D LIKE TO IMPROVE THAT BY RESTORING THE STREET GRID.
ALSO LOOKING AT A SECOND CROSSING POINT.

THEN THERE ARE THE MOBILITY INVESTMENTS.
NOT JUST ABOUT NEW STREETS.
WANT STREETS TO BE WALKABLE, BIKE FRIENDLY AND PEOPLE TO
REALLY GET OUT OF THEIR CARS AND START USING TRANSIT AS
WELL.
THAT'S REALLY A BIG MOTIVATION OF OUR ENTIRE PROJECT DESIGN.
WE HAVE 3.6 MILES OF NEW SIDEWALKS IN THIS PROJECT.
IT'S A REALLY SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF NEW SIDEWALKS.
SOME OF THE SIDEWALKS EXIST TODAY BUT THEY ARE VERY NARROW.
THEY HAVE UTILITY POLES IN THE WAY.
SOME OF THEM ARE CRUMBLING.
WE'RE GOING TO BE REPAIRING ALL OF THOSE.
WE HAVE ABOUT 1.2 MILES OF NEW MULTIUSE TRAILS.
ALAN MENTIONED THE TRAILS, THE WAY THEY CONNECT THE SELMON
EXPRESSWAY TRAIL WITH THE NUCCIO PARKWAY TRAIL.
REALLY, BEYOND ADDING THOSE ABILITIES FOR PEOPLE TO GET
PLACE TO PLACE ON FOOT OR BIKE, WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
LAST MILE, THOSE LITTLE MOBILITY HUBS, THE BIKE RACKS, THE
BIKE STATIONS, SCOOTER STATIONS, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT
REALLY HELP PEOPLE THINK, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I CAN GET TO MY PLACE OF WORK.
I CAN GET TO WHERE I'M GOING THIS EVENING FOR DINNER WITHOUT
GETTING IN A CAR.
WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE NEW STREETCAR STOP.
WE THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

OBVIOUSLY, CHANNEL DISTRICT HAS A STREETCAR STOP.
YBOR STREETCAR STOP.
REALLY NOTHING IN BETWEEN.
THERE IS A LARGE GAP THERE AND WE THINK WITH THE SIZE
DEVELOPMENT WE'RE DOING IT'S REALLY APPROPRIATE TO HAVE A
NEW TRANSIT STOP THERE.
GET PEOPLE THINKING ABOUT MOVING DOWNTOWN ALL THE WAY UP TO
EVENTUALLY TAMPA HEIGHTS THROUGH THE STREETCAR.
AND THEN WE HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MOBILITY AND
MITIGATION FEES THAT COME ALONG WITH THIS PROJECT AS WELL.
$5 MILLION.
PROJECT THIS SIZE WILL HAVE QUITE CONSIDERABLE ENVIRONMENTAL
ENHANCEMENTS.
THE HISTORY OF THE SITE IS VERY INDUSTRIAL IN NATURE.
A LOT OF CONTAMINATION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE AREA.
MOST OF THE AREA WILL ULTIMATELY, IF NOT ALL OF IT, END UP
IN THE BROWNFIELDS PROGRAM.
SOME ALREADY IS.
WE WILL BE REMEDIATING A LOT OF SOILS AND REPLACING BAD
CONTAMINATION WITH NEW CONSTRUCTION.
WHEN WE'RE DONE, WE'LL HAVE TWO ACRES OF PUBLIC SPACE, OPEN
PUBLIC SPACE.
THAT DOESN'T EXIST REALLY TODAY.
WHAT WE HAVE TODAY IS ACTUALLY 12 ACRES OF SURFACE PARKING
AND STORAGE YARDS.

IT'S REALLY UNDERUTILIZED AREA AND REALLY KIND OF BAD
ENVIRONMENTAL AREA WHEN YOU START TO THINK ABOUT IT.
AS NICK WAS SAYING, THE BUILDINGS THEMSELVES ARE NOT
DESIGNED YET.
THIS IS A PDA.
BUT ULTIMATELY AS WE GO THROUGH DESIGNING BUILDINGS AND
START BRINGING THOSE IN, THEY WILL HAVE LEAD, GREEN BUILDING
STANDARDS.
WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THINGS AS WELL AS SOME CREATIVE WAYS TO
IMPROVE THE LIVEABILITY OF BUILDINGS NOT JUST FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL POINT OF VIEW BUT ALSO FROM A HEALTH POINT OF
VIEW.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION OBVIOUSLY VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT WHEN
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AN AREA THAT OVERLAPS WITH YBOR CITY.
AS WE ALREADY REFERENCED, THE ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE
WAREHOUSE BUILDING.
1950 BUILDING, NOT A CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURE BUT WE THINK
BASED ON THE PICTURES YOU'VE SEEN TONIGHT IT'S GOT SOME
REALLY COOL ASPECTS TO IT, PARTICULARLY ON THE INSIDE OF THE
BUILDING.
COULD BE A REALLY IMPORTANT CENTER OF THE COMMUNITY.
THERE IS ONE EXISTING CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURE AN OLD HOUSE ON
THE PROPERTY.
THAT IS THE BLUE HOUSE YOU SEE AT THE CORNER OF 3rd AVENUE
AND 14th.

AND WE HAVE COMMITTED TO RELOCATING THAT STRUCTURE ELSEWHERE
WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
AND THEN AS WE MENTIONED ALREADY, WE DO HAVE THE APPROVAL OF
THE BARRIO LATINO AND THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD, WE
REALLY WANT TO BRING SOME OF THAT CHARACTER AND HISTORY OF
THE AREA INTO THINGS LIKE SIGNAGE, INTO THINGS LIKE MARKERS.
SO WE REALLY WANT TO REFLECT THAT IN THE PUBLIC SPACES.
OBVIOUSLY, AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS A BIG SUBJECT RIGHT NOW.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT.
SO THIS WILL BE THE LARGEST PRIVATE COMMITMENT OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING THAT TAMPA HAS SEEN TO DATE.
325 UNITS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THEY WILL BE 80% AND 120% MEDIAN INCOME UNITS.
MIXED WITH THE MARKET RATE.
AND THAT REPRESENTS A $62 MILLION VALUE COMMITMENT.
SO THAT IS A SUBSTANTIAL COMMITMENT FROM THE PROJECT.
50% OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS WILL BE DELIVERED BEFORE
WE EVEN START USING THE BONUS DENSITY.
THIS IS A BONUS DENSITY RELATED AFFORDABLE COMMITMENT.
THAT COMMITMENT WE HAVE SORT OF SAID WE WANT TO WAIT UNTIL
WE USE THE BONUS DENSITY.
WE'LL USE THAT BEFORE WE EVEN REACH THE BONUS DENSITY.
AND THEN ONE THING TO REALIZE IS THAT PEOPLE MAY ASK WHY
DON'T YOU DO BONUS DENSITY ON THE ENTIRE PROJECT.
YOU CAN DO MORE UNITS, EVERYTHING ELSE AND MORE AFFORDABLE.

THE REALITY IS ONLY A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE PROPERTY IS
ELIGIBLE FOR BONUS.
HISTORIC DISTRICT, HEIGHT CONSTRAINTS.
NOT EVERY PARCEL AND NOT EVERY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IS
ELIGIBLE FOR A BONUS DENSITY.
WE ALREADY TALKED A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT ABOUT CRAs.
WE ARE ACTUALLY IN FOUR DIFFERENT CRAs, WHICH MAKES THIS A
VERY INTERESTING PROJECT IN SOME RESPECTS.
BUT I THINK IT'S ALSO IN SOME RESPECTS GOOD NEWS, TOO.
IT MEANS WE ARE GOING TO BE CREATING NEW DEVELOPMENT IN FOUR
DIFFERENT CRAs THAT CAN BENEFIT FROM THAT TAX INFLUX.
WE'RE ESTIMATE BEING $63 MILLION OF INCREMENTAL TAXES THAT
ARE GOING TO BE GENERATED.
AND THAT'S JUST THROUGH THE EXPIRATION DATES OF THE CRAs
TODAY.
SO TO THE EXTENT THOSE CRAs GET RENEWED AND THEN GO
FURTHER INTO THE FUTURE, OUR BUILDINGS WILL OBVIOUSLY
GENERATE A LOT MORE TAX BASE BECAUSE AT THAT POINT THEY WILL
BE COMPLETED, BUILT OUT DEVELOPMENT.
ONE THING ALSO THAT IS WORTH MENTIONING HERE IS THE NUMBER
OF JOBS THAT OUR PROJECT IS GOING TO CREATE.
THIS IS NOT AN OLD RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
IT WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF OFFICE SPACE.
SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF RETAIL SPACE.
WE'RE PROJECTING BETWEEN 2500 AND 3,000 NEW JOBS.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE THINK THAT REALLY MAKES FOR
INTERESTING, OVERALL WHEN YOU START THINKING BIGGER PICTURE
FOR TAMPA, THE GOOD NEWS IS TAMPA IS -- HAS REALLY EMERGED
RECENTLY AS MAJOR INNOVATION MARKET.
20% INCREASE IN S.T.E.M. JOBS IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
WE'RE GETTING CALLS ALREADY.
WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO HAVE OFFICE SPACE READY IN GAS
WORX?
WE WANT TO COME TO GAS WORX.
OFFICE TENANTS, BROKERS, CORPORATIONS ARE ALL STARTING TO
REALIZE THEY WANT TO BE IN A 20-MINUTE COMMUNITY.
THEY WANT TO BE IN THOSE PLACES WHERE THEIR EMPLOYEES CAN
WALK OUT THE DOOR, GO TO RESTAURANTS, GO TO SHOPS, GO TO
THEIR APARTMENT AND THAT'S REALLY, I THINK, HOW YOU SORT OF
BUILD THE SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITIES.
YOU CREATE THAT MIXED-USE ENVIRONMENT AND IT REALLY STARTS
TO DRAW THE JOBS THAT THEN SUPPORT THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO
LIVE IN THE AREA.
WE THINK GAS WORX WILL DO THAT REALLY WELL AND WE'RE ALREADY
SEEING SIGNS OF IT FROM PEOPLE APPROACHING US.
THE PDA REALLY ALLOWS US THE FLEXIBILITY AS WELL TO INCREASE
THE AMOUNT OF OFFICE.
TO THE EXTENT THAT THAT OFFICE MARKET REALLY BECOMES STRONG
IN THE AREA, WE CAN START TO INCREASE AND REDUCE THE AMOUNT
OF RESIDENTIAL.

I JUST THREW IN A FEW COMMENTS HERE, FEW QUOTES FROM RECENT
REPORTS THAT REALLY REINFORCES THAT POINT.
OFFICE TENANTS TODAY ARE REALLY LOOKING FOR THOSE
AMENITY-RICH NEIGHBORHOODS.
WHAT WE REALLY WANT TO FOCUS BRINGING IN, JOBS AND RETAIL
AND ALL THESE EXCITING THINGS, WE ALSO WANT TO REALLY MAKE
SURE WE HONOR THE TRADITION OF YBOR CITY IN TERMS OF ITS
SORT OF ENTREPRENEURIALISM, THE LOCAL BUSINESSES, THE
ARTISTS AND MAKERS THAT ALREADY EXIST IN THE AREA.
WE DEFINITELY MAKE SURE WE HAVE SMALL SPACES INCLUDED IN OUR
RETAIL, FOR EXAMPLE.
FLEXIBLE SPACES WHERE START-UP COMPANIES CAN GO, WHERE
ARTISTS CAN GO AND REALLY ALLOW THOSE BUSINESSES TO GROW AND
SORT OF REALLY THAT SORT OF BENEFICIAL QUESTION WHEN YOU
THINK ABOUT IT, BUSINESS DO WELL, START-UP, GROW, WE CAN
LEASE THEM A LARGER SPACE.
WE ALSO WANT TO REALLY SORT OF EMBRACE THE PUBLIC ART SCENE
THAT'S ALREADY IN YBOR.
DARRYL SHAW WILL TALK NEXT.
HE'S BEEN HEAVILY INVOLVED IN MANY ART RELATED PROJECTS
THROUGHOUT YBOR.
THE KRESS BUILDING.
WE WANT TO COORDINATE WITH FOLKS WHO ARE SORT OF OPERATING
IN THOSE BUILDINGS, REALLY SORT OF USE THAT RESOURCE AND
BRING IT INTO GAS WORX.

ONE OF THE SIMPLE WAYS YOU CAN THINK ABOUT THAT IS THROUGH
PUBLIC ART.
WE THINK GREAT OPPORTUNITIES.
THIS PROJECT WILL LAST A LONG TIME AND A LOT OF VACANT
SITES.
WE'LL HAVE A NEED FOR SCREENING, SIGNAGE, SUBSTATION SITE
THAT'S RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE WAREHOUSE.
LOTS OF WAYS WE CAN USE THE ARTIST COMMUNITY.
SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO HAND IT OVER TO DARRYL.
8:50:26PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I SAW THAT THE CSX, YOU HAVE TWO
CROSSINGS WITH CSX?
8:50:31PM >> THAT'S RIGHT.
8:50:35PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
HAVE YOU GOT ANY AGREEMENTS WITH THEM OR
ANYTHING?
8:50:38PM >> WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM, BUT WE HAVE GOOD TRACTION.
WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO CSX NOW FOR PROBABLY ABOUT 18 MONTHS
AND WE ARE ACTIVELY WORKING WITH THEM ON MAKING THOSE
CROSSINGS HAPPEN.
8:50:53PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
8:50:58PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
DARRYL SHAW WITH GAS WORX.
1988 I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE AND MOVED DOWN TO YBOR CITY.
I LIVED ABOVE WHAT WAS THE GRECO HARDWARE STORE.
IT WAS ON THE CORNER OF 8th AVENUE AND 15th STREET.
AT THE TIME IT WAS WEST OF THE MOON STUDIO.

TODAY IT IS A BREWERY.
A FRIEND OF MINE AND MYSELF PURCHASED A SMALL BUILDING ON
7th AVENUE WHICH WE WERE GOING TO RENOVATE INTO OFFICE
SPACE.
AND PRIOR TO BEGINNING RENOVATION, IT WAS GUAVAWEEN, AND I
INVITED MY FAMILY TO COME AND WATCH THE PARADE.
WE STOOD ON THE BALCONY AND WATCHED THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
BELOW AND THE PARADE GO BY.
IT ENDED UNEVENTFULLY.
WE WENT HOME.
TWO WEEKS LATER AT PRECISELY TWO WEEKS LATER, 5 A.M. ON A
SUNDAY MORNING I GET A CALL FROM THE POLICE THAT SAID DO YOU
OWN THIS BUILDING ON 7th AVENUE?
I SAID YES.
THEY SAID YOU BETTER GET DOWN HERE QUICKLY BECAUSE IT'S
LIKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.
THE BALCONY THAT ALL 12 OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS AND I WERE ON
COLLAPSED BY ITSELF IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE SUNDAY MORNING.
WE DID NOT KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS ANYBODY UNDERNEATH.
WE SPENT THE DAY CLEARING THE RUBBLE.
THANK GOD NOBODY WAS BELOW.
ALTHOUGH WE HAD A COMPLETE ECONOMIC LOSS, I LOOK BACK AND AM
SO THANKFUL FOR HOW LUCKY WE WERE TO ESCAPE THE TRAGIC
EVENT.
IT ENDED THE REAL ESTATE CAREER.

I WENT BACK TO SCHOOL AND IT WASN'T UNTIL A HANDFUL OF YEARS
AGO THAT I REKINDLED MY INTEREST IN YBOR CITY.
I MET SOME PROPERTY OWNERS IN YBOR.
THE BUCHMAN FAMILY, THE CAPITANO FAMILY, THE GUYARDO FAMILY.
I BECAME FRIENDS WITH THEM.
WE BECAME PARTNERS AND THEY BECAME MENTORS, AND OVER THE
LAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN THINKING THROUGH HOW TO
HELP REVITALIZE YBOR AND BRING BACK YBOR TO BECOME AGAIN ONE
OF AMERICA'S GREAT NEIGHBORHOODS.
AND THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES INTO THAT THOUGHT PROCESS.
IT'S A HOLISTIC VIEW.
IT'S NOT A FOCUS ON AN INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY.
IT BEGINS WITH BRINGING PEOPLE, LOTS OF PEOPLE TO LIVE IN
THE DISTRICT.
THAT IS A KEY ELEMENT.
IT IS LOOKING AT GREENSPACE AND PUBLIC PARKS.
IT LOOKS AT LANDSCAPING PLANS.
IT NEEDS TO LOOK AT BIKE PATHS AND WALKABILITY.
IT'S RECONNECTING THE GRID.
IT IS LOOKING AT DIVERSITY FROM AN ECONOMIC BUSINESS
INTEREST, DIVERSITY OF ECONOMIC BASE, DIVERSITY OF
POPULATION AND A DIVERSITY OF HOUSING.
AND SO WE HAVE VERY SIGNIFICANT PLAN AND VISION FOR YBOR
THAT WILL UNFOLD OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS, BY FAR THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT, BUT NOT THE ONLY COMPONENT OF IT IS THE GAS

WORX PLAN.
SO I'VE HAD THE HONOR TO PARTNER WITH KETTLER.
THEY HAVE BEEN AMAZING PARTNERS THUS FAR AND WE ARE VERY,
VERY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT GAS WORX WILL DO FOR YBOR, FOR THE
PEOPLE OF YBOR, FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA AND FOR THE TAMPA BAY
AREA.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING.
8:54:33PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MR. HUDSON.
8:54:37PM >> THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION.
8:54:39PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ALL RIGHT.
AT THIS TIME, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE WILL TAKE PUBLIC
COMMENT.
I ASK THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK TO PLEASE FORM A LINE,
MY LEFT, YOUR RIGHT.
WHEN MR. HUDSON REQUESTS -- LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE PAY
ATTENTION TO ME.
WHEN MR. HUDSON REQUESTED THAT THESE ITEMS BE MOVED BEFORE
OTHERS ON THE AGENDA, IT WAS BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT THERE WERE
GOING TO BE LOTS OF PUBLIC COMMENT.
OUT OF RESPECT TO THE PETITIONERS FOR ITEMS NUMBER 5, 9, AND
10, CAN WE KEEP OUR COMMENTS TO A MINIMUM AND PLEASE NOT
REPEAT WHAT SOMEONE HAS SAID BEFORE YOU.
THANK YOU.
MR. GONZMART, ARE YOU FIRST?
8:55:39PM >> RICHARD GONZMART.

IT'S AN HONOR TO BE HERE TODAY.
WE'RE WITNESSING HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF WHEN ONCE UPON A
TIME IN 1900 THERE WERE 3,000 RESIDENCES.
TENS OF THOUSANDS PEOPLE WOULD CALL YBOR CITY HOME WHERE
THEY WORKED, THEY SHOPPED, THEY DINED AND THEY PLAYED.
THEY WOULD WALK ALONG THE STREETS IN A TIME WHERE THEY USE
STREETCARS AND BICYCLES.
THERE WEREN'T CARS.
SADLY, MY FAMILY THE COLUMBIA RESTAURANT IS THE LAST OF
THOSE FROM THE GOLDEN ERA THAT WAS STARTED ACTUALLY IN 1903,
DECEMBER 17.
THERE HAVE BEEN TOUGH TIMES WHEN URBAN RENEWAL CAME IN THE
'50s AND THEY SENT THESE FAMILIES THAT EMIGRATED HERE AND
THEIR CHILDREN WENT ON TO BE SUCCESSFUL TO THE SUBURBS, THE
HOMES WERE REMOVED.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO VOTE.
MY FATHER ALWAYS SAID IT WAS GOING TO TAKE A PERSON FROM OUT
OF TOWN, A PERSON WITH VISION, A PASSION FOR YBOR CITY.
AND I WISH HE HAD MET DARRYL SHAW WHO HAS BEEN ABLE TO
GATHER THESE PROPERTIES TOGETHER.
MY FAMILY HAS STRUGGLED BUT WE'RE INVESTING 10 TO 20 MILLION
DOLLARS OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS.
WE'LL PUT A SICILIAN MARKET THERE.
IT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
WE'LL HAVE -- BREAKING BREAD SO PEOPLE CAN WALK TO PICK UP

BREAD.
AND COFFEE ROASTING THROUGH THE AIR AND FEEL THAT HISTORY.
I CREATED SOMETHING CALLED CAFE CON LECHE AT THE AIRPORT
NAMED THE BEST NEW COFFEE CONCEPT IN THE COUNTRY, NUMBER
FIVE IN THE WORLD.
IT WAS DEVELOPED FOR YBOR CITY.
SO YOU CAN GO BACK THERE.
IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY AS A FAMILY OF THE FOURTH GENERATION
TO TAKE CARE FROM 20th TO 22nd STREET.
I WISH MY FATHER WAS HERE.
I KNOW HE IS.
AND I'M GRATEFUL TO DARRYL SHAW AND THE TEAM HE'S PUT
TOGETHER.
I JUST CAN'T WAIT.
I'M GOING TO STAY HERE.
MY CHILDREN WILL BE HERE.
WE'LL BE PROVIDING JOBS, NORTH YBOR CITY WILL EXIST.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS IMPORTANT.
LIKE WE DID, THE SICILIANS, SPANISH, CUBANS, AFRICAN
AMERICANS, WE WORK SIDE BY SIDE.
AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE.
YBOR CITY WILL REUNITE THE CITIZENS OF THIS GREAT COMMUNITY
ON BEHALF OF OUR FAMILY AND EVERYBODY, GOD BLESS EACH ONE OF
YOU.
THANK YOU.

8:58:11PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
8:58:18PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I'M JANET SCHERBERGER, PRESIDENT OF WALK, BIKE TAMPA.
SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE
WALK BIKE BOARD.
WE MET WITH THE DEVELOPERS AND WE WERE STRUCK BY THEIR
GENUINE COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND
COLLABORATION.
WE WERE ALSO REALLY STRUCK BY THE PROJECT ITSELF.
IN FACT, A FEW OF US WERE LITERALLY BROUGHT TO TEARS BY WHAT
WE SAW.
WHAT CAN I SAY?
WE ARE COMPLETE TRANSPORTATION AND URBAN PLANNING NERDS.
IN MANY ASPECTS, THE VISION FOR GAS WORX DOVETAILS WITH OUR
VISION FOR A MORE WALKABLE, BIKEABLE CITY.
PRIORITIZES PEOPLE OVER PARKING AND THEREFORE CARS.
THAT'S A PHILOSOPHY WE'D LIKE TO SEE EMBRACED CITYWIDE.
NOTEWORTHY ELEMENTS.
ABUNDANCE OF SHADE TREES RATHER THAN PALMS WHICH MAKES A
REALLY BIG DIFFERENCE FOR PEOPLE WHEN WALKING OUT IN THE
FLORIDA SUN.
THE PLANS TO NARROW VEHICLE LANES ON EXISTING STREETS WHICH
SLOWS DOWN CARS AND MAKES THE STREET SAFER FOR PEOPLE ON
BIKES AND PEOPLE WHO ARE WALKING.
THE TEN FOOT WIDE MULTIUSE TRAILS THAT MAKE IT EASY FOR

PEOPLE TO WALK SIDE BY SIDE OR PASS EACH OTHER EASILY.
THERE IS ALSO THE STREETCAR STOP AND THE PARKS AND THE
PEDESTRIAN PROMENADE.
BASED ON THESE PLANS, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS DISTRICT WILL BE A
SAFE AND COMFORTABLE FOR PEOPLE WALKING AND ON BIKES.
THIS IS A PROJECT THAT REALLY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE ONE OF
TAMPA'S BEST IN TERMS OF PEOPLE-CENTRIC PLANNING.
WE HOPE THIS DISTRICT DOES NOT BECOME AN ISLAND AND THAT THE
CITY WILL CONTINUE TO CREATE CONNECTIONS FRIENDLY TO PEOPLE
WHO CHOOSE NOT TO DRIVE CARS BETWEEN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND
ECONOMIC CENTERS AND WOULD RATHER GO BY TRANSIT ON FOOT OR
BY BIKE BETWEEN USF, YBOR, GAS WORX, WATER STREET, DOWNTOWN,
MIDTOWN, WESTSHORE, AND THE AIRPORT.
WALK BIKE TAMPA LOOKS FORWARD TO SEEING THIS PROJECT COME
OUT OF THE GROUND AND WE URGE YOU TO VOTE IN SUPPORT OF IT.
THANK YOU.
9:00:11PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
9:00:15PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
NATHAN HAGEN.
I SUPPORT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE I THINK THIS REPRESENTS AN
IMPORTANT EXAMPLE OF THE POWER OF CITY COUNCIL ON LAND USE
AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
BEACH PARK, A RANDOMLY SELECTED NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I WANTED
TO BRING UP AS A COMPARISON IS 500 ACRES.
HAS 3,000 PEOPLE AND THE MEDIAN COST OF A HOME FOR SALE

THERE IN JUNE WAS ALMOST TWO AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.
THIS IS ONE-TENTH OF THE SIZE, 50 ACRES OR LESS.
I THINK I'VE SEEN NUMBERS AROUND 5,000 PEOPLE OR MORE MIGHT
BE HOUSED HERE.
AND THERE'S AT LEAST 300 AFFORDABLE UNITS IN IT.
SO I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THE POWER OF THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BONUS DENSITY, CONSIDER HOW MANY UNITS
YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT HAVE ACTUALLY USED THE PROGRAM, HOW
MANY ARE USED HERE, AND HOW THIS REPRESENTS YOUR ABILITY TO
USE LAND USE TO EFFECT CHANGE IN OUR CITY THAT WILL ACTUALLY
PROVIDE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE AND MAKE WALKABLE COMMUNITIES AND
DO ALL THE THINGS THAT WE WANT IN OUR CITY TODAY.
THANK YOU.
9:01:21PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
9:01:25PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL AND CHAIR.
I HAVE NOT BEEN SWORN IN.
I WAS NOT HERE.
9:01:34PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
IF THERE IS ANYBODY ELSE IN THIS ROOM, MR.
BELL, HAVE YOU BEEN SWORN IN?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN THIS ROOM THAT HASN'T BEEN SWORN
IN?
[OATH ADMINISTERED]
9:01:47PM >> I DO.
9:01:49PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

9:01:50PM >> COUNCIL, I'M LEROY MOORE.
5301 WEST CYPRESS STREET.
AS YOU KNOW, I AM SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AT TAMPA HOUSING
AUTHORITY.
I'M ALSO CHAIR OF ULI TAMPA BAY.
I'M ACTUALLY HERE TODAY, THIS EVENING TO SPEAK TO YOU NOT IN
EITHER OF THOSE ROLES BUT AS A PUBLIC DEVELOPER AND AS A
PRACTITIONER OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY
BUILDING.
AND IN MY CAPACITY IN BOTH OF THOSE ROLES, IT'S RARE THAT WE
GET A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY SEE A PROJECT LIKE THIS THAT
EMPLOYS ALL OF THE TENETS OF BEST PRACTICES, FROM
SUSTAINABILITY, TO WALKABILITY, CONNECTABILITY, AND MY MOST
IMPORTANT ONE, DIVERSE IN BOTH USES AS WELL AS INCOMES.
SO IT'S VERY PLEASING TO SEE A PROJECT LIKE THIS TAKE PLACE
RIGHT ACROSS FROM ENCORE AND I HAVE TO GIVE THE DEVELOPERS
CREDIT.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN NEIGHBORS COME
AND KNOCK ON YOUR DOOR BEFORE YOU GO KNOCK ON THEIR DOOR AND
ASK WHAT'S GOING ON.
OVER TWO YEARS AGO THEY CAME TO ME AS THE TAMPA HOUSING
AUTHORITY AND FOR TWO YEARS NOW THEY HAVE BEEN SHARING THIS
PLAN AS IT HAS EVOLVED.
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACTUALLY COLLABORATE ON HOW THESE TWO
COMMUNITIES WILL NOT BECOME ISOLATED FROM ONE ANOTHER, BUT

WILL BE CONNECTED TO ONE ANOTHER WITH ROADWAYS AS WELL AS
COMPATIBLE USES, AS WELL AS DENSITIES.
SO WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO PUT OUR PLANNERS ON LOTS THAT
ARE GOING TO BE FACING THEIR DEVELOPMENT WITH THEIR
DEVELOPMENT TEAM SO THAT THERE'S SOME GREAT SIMILARITIES AND
SYMMETRY ACROSS NEBRASKA AVENUE, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR
ENCORE.
HAVING PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPERS ENGAGED IN PROVIDING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS SO VERY CRUCIAL FOR OUR CITY.
THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN TAMPA OFTEN.
AND WE'VE GOT TO CREATE THE MECHANISM TO ALLOW A LOT MORE OF
THAT TO HAPPEN.
SO WHEN A PROJECT LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE DELIVERING 325
AFFORDABLE UNITS, IT IS AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR
LOW-INCOME PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO LIVE, WORK, RECREATE IN A
VERY HIGH AMENITIZED AREA AND LOWER THEIR COST OF LIVING NOT
JUST FROM AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT BEING ABLE TO REDUCE THEIR
RELIANCE ON AUTOMOBILE TRANSPORTATION AS WELL.
I RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS ITEM.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CONSIDERING IT.
9:04:26PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
9:04:31PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.
MY NAME IS LEE BELL.
I'M PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE YBOR CITY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU THIS

EVENING.
ON BEHALF OF THE YBOR CITY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, WE WOULD
LIKE TO OFFER OUR SUPPORT FOR THE GAS WORX DEVELOPMENT
MASTER PLAN.
YBOR HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME ONE OF THE MOST DESIRED
RELOCATION DESTINATIONS IN TAMPA BAY AND WE BELIEVE THAT GAS
WORX PROJECT WILL MAKE IT A REALITY BY REDEVELOPING A
CURRENTLY ABANDONED AREA AND MAKE IT A COMMUNITY FAMILY
FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS COMMITTED TO COMPLIMENTING AND
HONORING YBOR CITY'S UNIQUE HISTORY.
REVITALIZING THE HISTORIC DISTRICT THAT MAKES UP THE SOUL OF
TAMPA.
YBOR CITY, OUR CHAMBER, AND THE CITY OF TAMPA WILL BENEFIT
FROM THE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES THAT GAS WORX WILL
ATTRACT.
IT IS CRUCIAL TO MENTION THAT GAS WORX WILL PROVIDE BETTER
CONNECTIVITY AND MOBILITY IN THE CITY MAKING IT ONE OF THE
MOST WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH PRIORITY GIVEN TO
PEDESTRIANS AND BIKE TRAFFIC.
WE BELIEVE THE PROPOSED MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE A
GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO YBOR CITY AND THE ENTIRE TAMPA BAY
REGION.
GAS WORX WILL ADD THE NEEDED HOUSING UNITS TO ACCOMMODATE
THE ONGOING POPULATION GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY, STIMULATE

THE LOCAL ECONOMY, AND ENHANCE YBOR CITY'S HISTORIC
DISTRICT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
9:06:02PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
9:06:08PM >> MY NAME IS MAX CHILLURA.
I'M A RESIDENT OF YBOR CITY.
I OWN A HOUSE THERE.
AND I AM A BUSINESS OWNER.
I OWN CHILL BROS ICE CREAM.
I CHOSE YBOR CITY AS THE LOCATION OF MY BUSINESS AND THE
FIRST LOCATION OF MY BUSINESS WHERE WE MADE ALL THE ICE
CREAM BECAUSE I SAW A LOT OF POTENTIAL IN THE GROWTH OF THE
CITY AS WELL AS THE HISTORICAL COMPONENTS.
EVERYTHING THERE IS TO LOVE ABOUT YBOR CITY.
FROM THERE -- MY MAIN POINT TONIGHT IS JUST THIS DEVELOPMENT
IS SOMETHING I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT.
IT'S GOING TO BOOST THE AMOUNT OF JOBS.
IT'S GOING TO BOOST THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT WE GET IN OUR
YBOR CITY.
AND ULTIMATELY THAT MEANS A LOT FOR SMALL BUSINESSES,
UP-AND-COMING BUSINESSES LIKE MY OWN.
AND THIS TEAM IS DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB OF PUTTING THAT
TOGETHER.
THANK YOU.
9:07:27PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.

COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
9:07:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SIR, MR. CHILLURA, THIS IN NO WAY
AFFECTS MY DECISION TONIGHT, BUT CHILL BROTHERS IS THE BEST
ICE CREAM IN TAMPA.
[ LAUGHTER ]
9:07:45PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
ARE YOU GOING TO BUY SOME NEXT THURSDAY FOR
ALL OF US?
I'M WAITING FOR AN ANSWER.
ARE YOU GOING TO BUY US ICE CREAM TO SHOW US HOW GOOD IT IS?
9:07:59PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
TAMPA BANANA THAT'S ONE OF THE FLAVORS.
9:08:03PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
FINE.
EXPECT IT NEXT THURSDAY.
I DON'T THINK ONE GALLON IS GOING TO GET IT.
9:08:10PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS EARNEST HOOPER.
I'M HERE AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE
PROJECT.
LEGACY AND COMMUNITY MATTER.
WHEN IT COMES TO OUR FAMILY, OUR HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS, AND
OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, THEY MATTER DURING TAMPA'S EARLIEST
DAYS AND THEY MATTER NOW.
I'VE SPENT MORE THAN A YEAR VOLUNTEERING AT BOOKER T.
WASHINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
AND IT'S A MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT BECAUSE MY GREAT
GRANDFATHER WAS A TEACHER AND PRINCIPAL AT BOOKER T.

WASHINGTON IN THE 1930s AND 40s.
READING TO KIDS AT THE SCHOOL ALLOWS ME TO CARRY ON THE
LEGACY OF MY GRANDFATHER AND THE NUMEROUS EDUCATORS IN MY
FAMILY.
WHEN I FIRST LEARNED ABOUT GAS WORX AND SPOKE TO DARRYL SHAW
ABOUT HIS PLANS, I IMMEDIATELY ASKED HIM, HOW WILL BOOKER T.
WASHINGTON FIT INTO THE NEW FOOTPRINT?
OF COURSE, THE SCHOOL'S ONGOING EXISTENCE LIES WITH THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT, BUT I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT MR. SHAW WAS NOT
ONLY AWARE OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE,
BUT HE HAD ALREADY DEVELOPED A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE BOOKER
T. WASHINGTON PRINCIPAL AND GIVEN SUPPORT TO THE SCHOOL.
TO ME, THIS IS A SMALL BUT TELLING ASPECT ABOUT THE MAN AND
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PROJECT.
LEGACY MATTERS TO THEM.
COMMUNITY MATTERS TO THEM.
IT'S THE ATTENTION GIVEN TO THESE DETAILS THAT LEAD ME TO
SUPPORT GAS WORX, MR. SHAW, AND HIS TEAM.
YOU TALK ABOUT LEGACY AND COMMUNITY, YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT
INCLUSION.
GAS WORX WILL FEATURE 325 AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS, MORE
THAN THE NUMBER OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS THAT PREVIOUSLY
EXISTED ON THAT SITE.
THAT'S INCLUSION.
IT WILL ALSO INCLUDE A GROCERY STORE.

EXTENDING LIFE FOR THE NEARBY ENCORE NEIGHBORHOOD.
HAVING FIRST MOVED TO HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY IN 1988, I'VE
ALWAYS TRIED TO BE A VOICE FOR POSITIVE CHANGE AND LET MY
CARE FOR THE COMMUNITY LEAD MY ACTIONS.
GAS WORX REFLECTS THAT CARE.
IT WILL CREATE A RISING TIDE THAT WILL LIFT ALL BOATS.
STRENGTHEN YBOR CITY, CONNECT HISTORIC DISTRICT TO
CHANNELSIDE AND DOWNTOWN TAMPA AND ADD TO THE CITY'S
PROSPERITY AND SUSTAINABILITY.
THAT'S WHY THIS PROJECT HAS MY SUPPORT.
THANK YOU.
9:10:55PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
9:10:56PM >> GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE COUNCIL.
I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS HAVING US TODAY.
I'LL TRY TO KEEP IT SHORT FOR YOU.
MY NAME IS FRANK DE LA GRANA.
I'M HERE IN SUPPORT OF THE GAS WORX PROJECT.
GIVE YOU A BACKGROUND ON MYSELF, I AM A FOURTH GENERATION
TAMPA YBOR CITY NATIVE AND I CONSIDER MYSELF A PRODUCT OF
YBOR CITY.
MY GREAT GRANDFATHER, BIG JOE LICATA OPENED MECCA CAFE IN
1920 WHERE THE TRUIST BUILDING NOW SITS ON 7th AVENUE.
ACROSS THE STREET FROM THAT, MY GRANDFATHER, FRANK
DE LA GRANA, OPENED DE LA GRANA TRAVELING TOURISM, WHICH WAS
CATTY-CORNER FROM THAT.

I GREW UP IN YBOR CITY.
MY DAD STILL HAS HIS LAW PRACTICE IN THE BUILDING WHERE MY
GRANDFATHER STARTED HIS TRAVEL AGENCY.
I'VE LIVED IN YBOR CITY FOR FIVE YEARS, AND IT'S A PART OF
ME.
I LOVE YBOR WITH ALL MY HEART.
I DON'T KNOW MR. SHAW ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, BUT I BELIEVE IN
HIS VISION.
I BELIEVE THAT THE SECRET IS OUT ON OUR CITY.
EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT A WONDERFUL PLACE THIS IS AND THEY ARE
GOING TO BE MOVING HERE NO MATTER WHAT.
SO THIS PROJECT IS MUCH NEEDED.
IT'S GOING TO CONNECT YBOR CITY TO THE REST OF ALL THE
WONDERFUL DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE GOING ON AND ADD TO THE
FUTURE AND HISTORY OF THE WONDERFUL CITY.
I SUPPORT THIS DEVELOPMENT.
THANK YOU.
9:12:14PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
9:12:19PM >> HELLO.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME SPEAK TODAY.
MY NAME IS NICOLE RODRIGUEZ.
I AM THE OWNER OF YBOR CITY LAUNDRY -- ON THE BAY, AND LOS
CHAPOS TACOS, ALL OF WHICH ARE LOCATED IN FRONT OF THE
FORMER TAMPA PARK HOUSING PROJECTS OFF 7th AVENUE AND
SCOTT STREET.

LOS CHAPOS TACOS STARTED AS A TINY LITTLE FOOD TRUCK WITH
TWO EMPLOYEES.
IT HAS SINCE GROWN TO A WOMAN-OWNED BUSINESS WITH OVER 30
EMPLOYEES ACROSS THREE LOCATIONS.
TWO OF THE LOCATIONS ARE IN YBOR CITY.
I STARTED MY BUSINESS BACK IN 2019, AND I HAVE HAD A
STOREFRONT IN YBOR SINCE 2021.
MY TEAM HAS BEEN BLESSED.
WE TRULY BELIEVE YBOR COULD BE THE NUMBER ONE DESTINATION IN
ALL TAMPA BAY, BUT WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.
GAS WORX, THE 50-ACRE MIXED USE SITE, WOULD HAVE A
FAR-REACHING POSITIVE IMPACT, ATTRACTING OTHER INVESTORS AND
TRANSFORMING SMALL SHOPS INTO SUSTAINABLE LASTING
BUSINESSES.
IT WOULD COMPLEMENT THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S AUTHENTIC CHARACTER
HONORING THE RICH HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE OF YBOR CITY WHILE
REDEVELOPING ABANDONED BUILDINGS AND UNDERUTILIZED LOTS.
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL.
I BELIEVE THE PROPOSED LOCATION WOULD FILL THE GAP BETWEEN
THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND THE NEW WATER STREET.
SINCE MY ARRIVAL MUCH OF THE BUILDINGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
HAVE BEEN VACANT.
I'D LIKE TO HELP BRING LIFE BACK TO YBOR.
THE REVITALIZATION WOULD BE REMARKABLE.
THE DEVELOPER'S COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING 325 AFFORDABLE

HOUSING UNITS WOULD ADD DENSITY TO THE COMMUNITY.
CURRENTLY, THERE ARE NO APARTMENTS CLOSE BY.
MANY OF MY EMPLOYEES LIVE OUTSIDE OF YBOR.
SOME UP TO 45 MINUTES AWAY.
THOUGH THEY WOULD DEFINITELY MOVE TO YBOR IF THEY COULD, THE
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WOULD MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.
WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT GAS WORX, IT WAS TACO TUESDAY AND A
FOX 13 NEWS ANCHOR ASKED ME TO DO AN INTERVIEW ABOUT HOW THE
DEVELOPMENT WOULD AFFECT MY RESTAURANT.
ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS HOW GREAT THIS PROJECT COULD BE
AND HOW INCREDIBLE IT WOULD BE TO SUPPORT HOUSING CHOICES
AND AFFORDABILITY AND STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITY.
BRINGING GAS WORX INTO YBOR WOULD BE AMAZING NOT ONLY FOR MY
BUSINESS BUT FOR EVERYONE IN THE AREA.
ARMATURE WORKS WAS A SUCCESS.
SPARKMAN WHARF TWO AND NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT GAS WORX
WOULD BE JUST AS SUCCESSFUL.
TAMPA IS GROWING QUICKLY AND WE NEED TO GROW WITH OUR CITY
IN ORDER TO THRIVE.
GAS WORX WOULD MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
9:14:44PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU.
9:14:50PM >> GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS EJ SALCINES.
I AM A NATIVE OF TAMPA AND I AM HERE IN TOTAL SUPPORT OF

THIS PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN OUTLINED TO YOU IN DETAIL SO I
NOT NEED REPEAT ANY OF WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID.
BUT KNOWING THE PARTNERS THAT DARRYL SHAW HAS PUT TOGETHER,
MANY OF THEM THAT ARE HERE OUTSTANDING CITIZENS OF THIS
COMMUNITY SUPPORTING THIS PROJECT.
I ECHO THE TOTALITY OF WHAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO YOU.
50 YEARS AGO AS A YOUNG ELECTED PROSECUTING ATTORNEY, I SAW
SOMETHING CHANGING IN MY NATIVE CITY.
I SAW A LOT OF WAREHOUSES FULL OF RATS COMING DOWN AND
DISAPPEARING.
A GROUP OF MEN WITH VISION, WITH DETERMINATION, AND WITH A
LOT OF MONEY, NOT ONLY PUBLIC, BUT PRIVATE CITIZENS, PUT
TOGETHER AN EFFORT THAT 50 YEARS AGO STARTED TRANSFORMING IN
WHAT WE NOW HAVE THIS GREAT CHAMPION CITY THAT WE'RE ALL
PROUD TO CALL TAMPA.
WHEN I MET DARRYL SHAW, HE TOLD ME WHAT HIS VISION WAS.
I WANTED TO KNOW WHO HIS PARTNERS WERE.
I MET HIS PARTNERS MANY OF WHOM I'VE KNOWN FROM CHILDHOOD.
WE ARE ALL CONVINCED THAT THIS GAS WORX PROJECT WILL BE A
MASSIVE TRANSFUSION THAT WILL REVITALIZE AN AREA THAT HAS
BEEN NOT ONLY DORMANT BUT ALMOST DYING IN THIS AREA OF TOWN.
THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
I SPEAK TO ALL OF YOU FROM THE HEARTS OF THE CITIZENS OF
TAMPA WHO KNOW AND LOVE THIS AREA.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR TRANSFUSION.

I MAY NOT SEE IT 50 YEARS FROM NOW, BUT IT WILL BRING A NEW
VITALITY TO THIS AREA.
AND I'M ALSO PLEASED TO ASSURE YOU THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS
THAT ARE BEHIND THIS PROJECT KNOW OUR GREAT HISTORY.
THEY KNOW THE GREAT BLENDING OF THE DIFFERENT CULTURES,
ETHNICITIES, RACES, AND THEY ALL SUPPORT MAKING TAMPA EVEN
BETTER.
AND I URGE YOU TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:17:31PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.
9:17:35PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
BELATED BIRTHDAY TO YOU, MR. SALCINES.
9:17:45PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
IS THERE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT?
MR. HUDSON.
NEED I ASK THAT YOU NEED TIME FOR REBUTTAL?
9:18:02PM >> NO.
THANK YOU.
[ LAUGHTER ]
9:18:05PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
MR. HUDSON, DOES THIS FINISH YOUR
PRESENTATION?
9:18:11PM >> THIS IS THE CONCLUSION OF OUR PRESENTATION AND WILLING TO
WAIVE ANY TIME FOR REBUTTAL.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE AND APPRECIATE YOUR
PATIENCE THIS EVENING.
9:18:19PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
9:18:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE VERY

DETAILED PRESENTATION.
I'M ALSO BORN AND RAISED IN TAMPA.
MY FAMILY DOES NOT HAVE YBOR CITY HISTORY SADLY BECAUSE MY
MOTHER AND GRANDPARENTS CAME FROM CUBA IN 1961, 1962 IS WHEN
THEY CAME HERE BUT THEY ALWAYS HAD A LOVE FOR YBOR CITY.
MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD TELL ME STORIES OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE
THAT SPOKE, THEIR GRANTS AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AND
MEMORIES THEY HAD FROM THE COLUMBIA RESTAURANT AND CESAR
GONZMART AND ALL THIS STUFF.
BUT THEY ALSO TELL ME ABOUT THE DECLINE IN YBOR, SOMETHING
JUDGE SALCINES MENTIONED IN THE '70s AND '80s AND THEN
WE SAW A REVIVAL IN THE '90s, BUT NOTHING OF THIS
MAGNITUDE.
I'VE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME FOR THE RENAISSANCE OF YBOR
CITY.
AND I THINK THIS PROJECT, GAS WORX, IS GOING TO BE THAT
CATALYST THAT MAKES YBOR CITY EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN IT
WAS BEFORE.
SO I'M VERY HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
-- YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE TRANSFORMATIONAL IN WAYS THAT
YOU CAN SEE THE RENDERINGS, BUT UNTIL WE SEE IT AND CAN WALK
THE STREETS, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED ALONG WITH WATER
STREET, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CHANNEL DISTRICT IN TAMPA
HEIGHTS, THIS IS GOING TO COMPLETE THAT PUZZLE.
THANK YOU TO MR. SHAW FOR YOUR VISION AND ALL HIS PARTNERS.

EVERYBODY I SEE, MR. GUYARDO, MR. BUCHMAN, SO MANY OTHER
PEOPLE, BUT WE NEED THIS AND THIS IS GOING TO BRING YBOR
CITY ALIVE IN WAYS THAT WE CANNOT IMAGINE.
SO THANK YOU.
9:19:56PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
9:19:58PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY
ONE OF YOU.
I HAD THE PLEASURE, THE HONOR, AND THE LUCK REALLY TO BE
BORN IN YBOR CITY.
AND THERE'S NOTHING ELSE, IN FACT, MY FIRST RACE HORSE I
BRED I NAMED HIM YBOR CITY CHARLIE AND HE NEVER WON A RACE.
BUT THEN I CAME BACK AND I NAMED ANOTHER HORSE THAT I OWN
CALLED CUBAN SANDWICH.
AND HE BECAME A STAKES PLACE WINNER.
A SANDWICH IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CHARLIE.
WHAT I'M SAYING THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE AND
WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
YBOR DID DEMISE BUT IT WAS MORE THAN ONE THING.
CERTAINLY WHEN THE CIGAR FACTORIES BECAME DORMANT, CIGAR
INDUSTRY LEFT AND THOSE PEOPLE THAT STARTED THE FACTORIES,
THAT WORKED IN THE FACTORIES, THEY ALSO LEFT BY AGE I GUESS.
AND WHEN THE KIDS GOT EDUCATED THEY FOUND A BETTER JOB THAN
WHAT THEY HAD BEFORE THAT THEIR PARENTS HAVE AND THEY MOVED
OUT.

SO WHEN THEY MOVED OUT, THERE WERE A LOT OF VACANT HOMES.
YEAH, THEY WANT TO BLAME THE EXPRESSWAY FOR EVERYTHING.
THAT'S PART OF IT BUT IN MY OPINION IT WAS A COMBINATION OF
MANY THINGS.
THE COLUMBIA IS A GREAT PLACE.
I STARTED WORKING THERE WAY BACK WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER.
IN MY OPINION, I'M STILL A TEENAGER, BUT IT AIN'T HOW YOU
LOOK.
IT'S HOW YOU FEEL.
I'M GETTING KIND OF OLD.
BUT THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
THIS WOULD BE THE ENDING STRAP OF A CITY BECAUSE NOW YOU'VE
GOT DEVELOPMENT WHERE USED TO BE LADRAGA.
AND THEN YOU HAVE DEVELOPMENT WHERE USED TO BE TAMPA HEIGHTS
THAT YOU HAD A BRIDGE THAT TWO INDIVIDUALS WOULD TURN AROUND
AND PEOPLE FORGOT THAT BRIDGE IS THERE NOW THAT GOES OVER
THE RIVER WAS NOT THERE.
THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE.
IT WAS WOOD I THINK WHEN I WAS A KID.
BUT THOSE THINGS ARE FORGOTTEN.
SO WHEN YOU SEE ALL THAT AND YOU SEE IT COMING BACK AND
THINGS HAVE CHANGED, THEY JUST GOT MORE MODERN BECAUSE
EVERYBODY USED TO WALK.
NO ONE IN YBOR CITY, CARS YOU HAD MAYBE 10 CARS WHERE I
LIVED AT.

THAT WAS A SQUARE MILE.
AND THERE WERE HORSES IN YBOR CITY.
THERE WERE COWS, GOATS.
AND EVERYBODY HAD CHICKENS.
IT WAS LIKE LIVING IN A SMALL FARM WITH NEIGHBORS RIGHT
CLOSE TO YOU.
ODD BUT TRUE.
SO IT IS WHAT IT IS.
AND THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A RENAISSANCE, A NEW RENAISSANCE.
CERTAINLY IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT USED TO BUT IT LOOKS MUCH
BETTER.
I THINK WHEN YOU FINISH THIS HERE, TAMPA WOULD BE THE ENVY
OF NO CITY IN ANY PART OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
IT WILL BE BETTER THAN ANY ONE OF THEM.
GOT THE PORT, THE AIRPORT, GOT DIFFERENT CULTURES, DIFFERENT
FEELS, DIFFERENT FLAVORS.
I REMEMBER GOING MANY TIMES TO THE FONTAINEBLEAU HOTEL JUST
TO GO SEE TROPICALA.
I KNOW YOU ALL ARE FALLING ASLEEP BECAUSE YOU ARE OLDER THAN
I AM.
WE CAN STILL TALK FOREVER.
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING TO DO.
READ YOUR ARTICLES --
THANK YOU.

9:23:23PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
IS THAT COUNCILMAN CARLSON?
9:23:25PM >>BILL CARLSON:
YES.
IF YOU DON'T MINDS, I'LL SAY SOMETHING FAST.
A LOT OF VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE ROOM, PEOPLE OF GREAT
CHARACTER WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED A LOT TO OUR COMMUNITY OVER
THE YEARS, AND ALSO PEOPLE OF GREAT VISION.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION.
THE EASIEST CASES FOR US TO HANDLE ARE THE BEST CASES WHEN A
GROUP TAKES THEIR TIME TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE COMMUNITY,
MEET WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT CONSTITUENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS
AND ALSO THE CITY AND WORK OUT ALL THE ISSUES.
AND THIS GROUP AS WE'VE WATCHED HAVE TAKEN THEIR TIME AND
MET WITH EVERYBODY.
I GUESS WE DON'T HAVE A SINGLE ONE OPPOSED TO IT IN THE
ROOM.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR VISION AND EVERYTHING
THAT THEY CONTRIBUTED TO OUR COMMUNITY AND ALSO I WILL SAY
WITHOUT ANY INFLUENCE ON HOW I'LL VOTE, MY KIDS -- MY
FAVORITE FLAVOR AT CHILL BROS IS -- MY KIDS LOVE THAT PLACE.
THEY PERKED UP BEHIND ME WHEN YOU STARTED TALK ABOUT IT.
THE OTHER FLAVOR IS CHOCOLATE AT ULELE'S.
I WILL TALK ABOUT FOOD LATER.
9:24:40PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN VIERA, ONE MOMENT.
COUNCILMAN GUDES.
9:24:45PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
WE TALK ABOUT HISTORY.

REMEMBER WHEN THE OLD FRANKLIN FUNERAL HOME WAS ON NEBRASKA
AS A BOY.
I CAN REMEMBER THE NIGHTCLUB WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL GOING
OUT TO TAMPA PARK AFTER FOOTBALL GAME, GETTING HOME LATE.
GET HOME 15, 20 MINUTES LATE.
TAMPA PARK IS LOST, BUT YOU HAVE SOME FOUNDERS, MR. HARVEY,
MR. ANDREWS WHO PUT TAMPA PARK TOGETHER BECAUSE OF THE NEED
OF OUR LONGSHOREMEN.
LONGSHOREMEN AT THE PORT.
SO I'M JUST HOPING THAT WHEN WE DO THESE DEVELOPMENTS WE
REMEMBER WHO USED TO LIVE THERE.
WE KEEP THE FAITH OF KEEPING IT INCLUSIONARY, MAKING SURE
THAT EVERYONE HAS A PLACE TO BE ABLE TO GO AND SAY I KNOW
WHAT WAS THERE ONCE BEFORE BUT WE'RE STILL ALLOWED TO COME
HERE.
WE'RE PART OF THE PROJECT.
WE'RE PART OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT BECAUSE I CAN REMEMBER MY MOM USED TO
TAKE ME DOWN TO YBOR CITY, DR. PARTLE.
MOST OF THE BLACK KIDS' DOCTOR, DR. PARTLE.
ABOUT FOUR, FIVE MONTHS AGO, I MET IS HIS SON.
WE WERE DOWN THERE -- GUIDO, YOU WERE THERE.
SON OF DR. PARTLE.
DOWN THERE FOR THE RIBBON CUTTING.
REMEMBER?

YOU HAD HISPANIC PEOPLE, ITALIAN PEOPLE, EVERYBODY DOWN IN
YBOR.
BLACK PEOPLE.
SO THAT AREA WAS AN AREA FOR EVERYBODY.
I'M HOPING WHEN IT COMES BACK, MR. SHAW, THAT WE DON'T
FORGET WHAT WE SAID, WE KEEP OUR PROMISES AND MAKE SURE IT'S
INCLUSIVE.
I'M GLAD YOU HAVE HOUSING IN THERE.
THAT IS A BIG PART OF WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH IN THE CITY,
INCLUSION.
I BELIEVE WHEN PEOPLE ARE WORKING TOGETHER -- NOT POOR
PEOPLE, PEOPLE GETTING AN OPPORTUNITY.
SEE HOW MR. GUIDO HAS MADE IT AND TALK TO HIM HE CAN GIVE ME
IDEAS THEN I BECOME BETTER.
THEN I BECOME ABLE TO HELP SOMEBODY ELSE.
I HOPE AND PRAY WE HAVE ALL THESE DEVELOPMENTS GOING ON,
REMEMBER THAT EVERYBODY IS ENTITLED TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
AND WE GIVE EVERYBODY AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE THERE.
THANK YOU.
9:27:06PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILMAN VIERA.
9:27:07PM >>LUIS VIERA:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT.
MY APOLOGIES FOR NOT BEING THERE LIVE.
I'M ACTUALLY IN CITY HALL, BUT I HAD COVID AND I HAVE A LOT
OF COUGHING GOING ON, SO I DIDN'T THINK IT PROPER TO BE IN

THE ROOM.
BUT I'M NEGATIVE, THANK GOD.
I JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING OUT.
I'M ON CASES LIKE THIS.
IT'S GREAT TO SEE A MORAL PURPOSE COMBINED WITH SOMETHING
THAT IS LEGALLY SUFFICIENT BEFORE US.
THAT ISSUE OF LEGAL SUFFICIENCY I THINK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
BUT WE HAVE HAD PEOPLE WHOSE NAMES MEAN A LOT NOT JUST FOR
THE CITY OF TAMPA BUT FOR YBOR CITY IN PARTICULAR COME OUT
AND VOUCH UPON THEIR LEGACY AND THEIR GOOD NAME FOR THIS
PROJECT AND THAT IT WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE VISION OF
YBOR, CONSISTENT WITH THE HISTORY OF YBOR AND RESPECTFUL OF
WHAT YBOR CITY SYMBOLIZES TO OUR CITY OF TAMPA.
ANYBODY WHO'S HAD FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS IN TAMPA HAS
CONNECTIONS TO YBOR CITY.
I KNOW I CERTAINLY HAVE.
MY PATERNAL GRANDFATHER LIVED THERE FOR A LITTLE BIT, GOSH,
PROBABLY 90, 100 YEARS AGO AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS.
AND YBOR CITY WHERE SO MANY OF US HAVE COME THROUGH AND TO
HAVE A PROJECT LIKE THIS THAT AFFIRMS THE HISTORY OF YBOR
CITY THROUGH GIANTS THAT MEAN SO MUCH TO YBOR CITY I THINK
JUST MEANS A LOT TO THIS COUNCIL.
I'LL SPEAK FOR MYSELF THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT I'M PROUD TO
SUPPORT.
I KNOW THAT IN DOING THIS WE TRUST THAT CERTAIN VALUES WILL

BE KEPT IN THE PROJECT AND I FEEL THAT THEY WILL.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THE HARD WORK IN THIS.
IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO THIS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:28:54PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
9:28:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WILL ECHO MY SUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT.
WE HEAR A LOT ON THIS COUNCIL OF NEW PROJECTS, OF PROJECTS
THAT WANT TO COME, AND THEY WANT TO GET THE FEEL OF TAMPA
AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM MENTIONS YBOR.
EVERYONE MENTIONS THE HISTORY OF YBOR, BRINGING THE HISTORY
OF TAMPA.
AND THE HISTORY OF TAMPA REALLY MEANS THE HISTORY OF YBOR.
YBOR IS WHERE EVERYTHING STARTED AND WE ARE SO LUCKY TO
STILL HAVE WHAT REMAINS IN YBOR.
AND I KNOW THE PARTNERS IN THIS PROJECT AREN'T JUST TRYING
TO HELP PRESERVE WHAT WE HAVE, BUT HAVE DELICATELY WORKED
WITH ALL THE PARTNERS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CONNECTS AND FITS
WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT'S A REALLY TALL UNDERTAKING BECAUSE YOU HEAR EVERYONE IN
THIS ROOM AND THEIR STORIES AND HISTORY AND RECOLLECTIONS OF
YBOR, AND BEING THE ONE TO TRY TO DO IT IS REALLY BRAVE.
BUT I THINK WITH THE PARTNERSHIP THAT YOU HAVE AND THE
VISION AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING, VERY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT COMES
OF THIS.
AND I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T SAY THAT MY FAVORITE THING

ABOUT HOW YOU PRESENTED THIS PROJECT WAS HOW I NEVER SAW A
CAR IN IT.
I JUST THINK THAT'S REALLY WONDERFUL AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE
REALLY TRYING TO CONNECT THOSE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE CITY
AND HOW WE CAN DO THAT IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE A CAR
BECAUSE TO GET TO DOWNTOWN FROM YBOR DOESN'T REALLY TAKE
THAT LONG.
ACTUALLY, I HAVE FOUND THAT IT TAKES MUCH LONGER IN A CAR
FROM HERE TO GET TO YBOR THAN IT DOES JUST TO HOP ON THE
STREETCAR.
SO THAT IS WHAT I GENERALLY DO WHEN I NEED TO GO DOWN TO
YBOR DURING THE DAY.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT.
I APPRECIATE AND LOOK FORWARD TO HOW THIS PROJECT DEVELOPS.
9:31:00PM >>JOSEPH CITRO:
I CAN'T ADD TO THAT.
SO THE ONLY THING I'M GOING TO SAY IS, VIVA YBOR.
WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN
MANISCALCO, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

9:35:32PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCIL.
LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

THIS IS ITEM NUMBER 5.
REZ 21-134.
FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3915 WEST EUCLID AVENUE.
THE APPLICANT IS BEING REPRESENTED BY JIM PORTER.
THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM RS 60 RESIDENTIAL
SINGLE-FAMILY TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND IT IS FOR
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND THE CREATION OF TWO
LOTS.
I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND I'LL COME
BACK AND GIVE MY REPORT AFTER.
THANK YOU.
9:36:20PM >> SEE THE PROJECTOR?
9:36:21PM >> NO.
NOW WE CAN.
9:36:26PM >> DAN COLLINS WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
I'VE BEEN SWORN IN.
NEXT CASE IN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, MORE
SPECIFICALLY THE VIRGINIA PARK NEIGHBORHOOD.
CIRCLE PARK IS THE CLOSEST PUBLIC RECREATION FACILITY
LOCATED A QUARTER MILE TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE SITE.
CLOSEST TRANSIT SITE IS 60 FEET WEST OF THE SITE AT THE
INTERSECTION OF WEST EUCLID AVENUE AND SOUTH GRADY AVENUE.
SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN A LEVEL A EVACUATION ZONE.
HERE'S IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND SURROUNDING
PROPERTY.

THE SUBJECT SITE IS JUST EAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF WEST
EUCLID AND SOUTH GRADY AVENUE.
THE SURROUNDING AREA IS PREDOMINANTLY RESIDENTIAL IN
CHARACTER WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE RESIDENTS BEING
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
HERE IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN THE RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION.
IT'S SURROUNDED BY THE RESIDENTIAL 10 ON ALL SIDES.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND
FOUND NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS PORTION OF WEST EUCLID AVENUE HAS AN EXISTING DENSITY
OF 5.38 UNITS PER ACRE.
THE PD PROPOSES 6.45 UNITS PER ACRE WHICH IS COMPARABLE TO
THE EXISTING BLOCK DENSITY.
THE EXISTING BLOCK DENSITY ON THIS PORTION OF WEST EUCLID
AVENUE IS 53% OF THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE R 10
DESIGNATION WHICH INDICATES THAT THE BLOCK IS POTENTIALLY OR
THE SITE IS POTENTIALLY UNDERUTILIZED.
THE PD REZONING WILL ALLOW FOR BETTER UTILIZATION OF THE
LAND THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER
THE R-10 DESIGNATION.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF
SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS AND SEEKS TO PROMOTE COMPATIBLE
REDEVELOPMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS TO ENSURE ECONOMIC HEALTH AND
ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF LAND IS PLANNED FOR THE CITY'S GROWING

POPULATION.
THE REZONING WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFILL DEVELOPMENT ON
UNDERUTILIZED AREA WITHIN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
9:38:30PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN?
NO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:38:38PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS TO ALLOW THE CREATION OF TWO LOTS
WITH RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED USES.
THE SITE CONTAINS 13,860 SQUARE FEET.
THE SUBJECT SITE CONSISTS OF LOTS 74 AND 75 OF BELMAR
REVISED UNIT NUMBER 6 SUBDIVISION, WHICH WAS PLATTED IN
1989.
LOT 74 WAS PLATTED MEASURING 55 FEET IN WIDTH AND 120 FEET
IN DEPTH.
LOT 75 WAS PLATTED WITH 60 FEET IN WIDTH AND 120 FEET IN
DEPTH.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO SPLIT THE LOT TO CREATE THE
TWO LOTS AS ORIGINALLY PLATTED.
THIS IS THE AERIAL OF THE SITE.

THIS IS THE SITE THAT'S OUTLINED IN RED.
THIS IS EUCLID AVENUE ON THE MAP.
THIS IS SOUTH DALE MABRY.
THIS IS KENSINGTON AVENUE.
SO THIS IS THE PROPERTY LOCATED HERE, AND YOU CAN SEE --
I'LL SHOW YOU IN THE ANALYSIS MAP WHAT WAS CONSIDERED AS
PART OF THE CONFORMING MAP AND CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE
ANALYSIS WHICH WAS COMPLETED.
YOU CAN SEE THE SINGLE-FAMILY ZONE THAT EXISTS IS
PREDOMINANT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AS YOU GET TO DALE MABRY YOU HAVE MORE OF THE COMMERCIAL
USES AND COMMERCIAL ZONES WITH SOME OF THE PDs LOCATED
ALONG THAT CORRIDOR.
THIS IS THE CONFORMING MAP WHICH WAS CREATED.
I CAN GIVE YOU THE ANALYSIS BUT I JUST WANTED TO EXPLAIN FOR
A MOMENT.
THIS IS THE PROPERTY, THE SUBJECT PROPERTY UNDER THE
REQUEST, WHICH HAS THE PATTERN AND IT'S OUTLINED IN BLACK.
THIS IS EUCLID AVENUE.
THIS IS SOUTH DALE MABRY.
THIS IS KENSINGTON, EL PRADO.
SO WHAT WE DID IS TOOK A LOOK AT THE BLOCKS AND YOU CAN SEE
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS QUADRANT, I'M JUST GOING TO COVER THIS
UP JUST TO BE ABLE TO SHOW THE TWO QUADRANTS AND THE TWO
SUBDIVISIONS WHICH WERE CONSIDERED FOR THE ANALYSIS.

THIS IS ONE QUADRANT.
YOU CAN SEE THE PATTERN.
THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE.
THE LOTS THAT EXIST THERE, THE PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT HERE
AND THE BLOCK AND THEN THIS IS YOUR OTHER QUADRANT HERE.
BOTH OF THOSE AREAS WERE INCLUDED WITHIN THE ANALYSIS, WHICH
I WILL SHOW YOU, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BLOCK, YOU CAN SEE
THAT THE YELLOW LOT, THE LOTS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED IN YELLOW
HAVE LOT WIDTH BETWEEN 65 TO 69 FEET.
THE PINK HAS THE LOT WIDTH OF 75 TO 79.
YOUR BLUE HAS YOUR LOT WIDTH OF 50 TO 54 FEET IN WIDTH.
AND YOUR RED IS YOUR 80 TO 99.
BUT JUST TO SHOW YOU, SO THIS ANALYSIS DID NOT CROSS EUCLID.
SOUTH OF EUCLID IS A DIFFERENT BLOCK PATTERN, AND I'LL SHOW
YOU ON THE MAP, RUN THE ANALYSIS JUST TO SHOW YOU THAT AREA.
SOUTH OF EUCLID WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ANALYSIS, BUT YOU
CAN SEE THE BLOCK PATTERN THAT EXISTS.
ALL OF THE LOTS AS YOU SEE RUNNING ALONG EUCLID ARE
IDENTIFIED IN THE RED SO THEY HAVE THE LARGER LOT WIDTH.
EVERYTHING YELLOW BELOW IS 65 TO 69.
SO I'M GOING TO PUT BACK UP THE MAP THAT WAS USED IN THE
ANALYSIS AND GO OVER THE ANALYSIS WITH YOU.
SO WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT ON PAGE 4 OF THE STAFF REPORT, IT
CONTAINS THE ANALYSIS.
WHICH I'LL REVIEW IN PART REGARDING THE BLOCK ITSELF.

IN RELATION TO REVIEWING THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN,
THE SUBJECT BLOCK ON THE NORTH SIDE OF EUCLID AVENUE FROM
SOUTH GRADY AVENUE TO WEST TAMPA CIRCLE CONTAINS FOUR TOTAL
ZONING LOTS, INCLUDING THE SUBJECT SITE.
SO ALL FOUR OR HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE LOT DEVELOPED WITH A
WIDTH OF 60 FEET OR GREATER.
BLOCK FACE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST EUCLID FROM EAST CLARK
AVENUE TO SOUTH GRADY AVENUE CONTAINS HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE
LOTS HAVING DEVELOPED WITH A LOT WIDTH GREATER THAN 60 FEET.
BLOCK FACE OF SOUTH GRADY FROM WEST KENSINGTON AVENUE TO
WEST EUCLID AVENUE CONTAINS 11 TOTAL ZONING LOTS, 9 OR 82%
OF THE LOTS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF 60 FEET OR
GREATER.
TWO OR 18% HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF 59.99 OR
LESS.
SO PURSUANT TO THE ANALYSIS, THE MAJORITY OF THE LOTS WITHIN
THE STUDY AREA HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A LOT WIDTH
CONSISTENT WITH RS 60 ZONING.
THEREFORE, STAFF FINDS THE REESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLATTED
LOTS TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN OF THE BLOCK AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING AREA.
I HAVE THE SITE PLAN TO SHOW YOU THAT WAS SUBMITTED.
THIS IS EUCLID AVENUE AT THE END OF THE PICTURE AND THEN
THIS WOULD BE THE CREATION OF THE LOT.
THIS IS THE LOT LINE AND THESE ARE THE TWO RESIDENCES

PROPOSED.
HERE ARE PICTURES OF THE SITE.
THIS IS THE SITE -- THIS IS EAST OF THE SITE.
SO WE'RE APPROACHING TAMPA CIRCLE HEADING EAST.
THIS IS THE FRONT VIEW OF THIS STRUCTURE WHICH IS EAST OF
THE SITE ON TAMPA CIRCLE.
CIRCLE WEST.
CIRCLE AROUND AND COME WEST.
THAT'S THE VIEW FROM THE WEST SIDE, THE SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL TO THE WEST.
THIS IS SOUTH ACROSS EUCLID AND THIS IS EAST OF THE SITE.
SO THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE REVIEWED THE REQUEST.
FOUND THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT AND THIS IS BASED UPON THE
ANALYSIS CONDUCTED BY DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
ALSO, COUNCIL, THERE ARE MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED TO THE SITE
PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING SHOULD COUNCIL APPROVE
THE REQUEST.
THIS CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION.
I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
9:44:59PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
9:45:02PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
OKAY.
THANK YOU.
9:45:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES, SIR.
9:45:05PM >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL.

JIM PORTER WITH AKERMAN, 401 EAST JACKSON STREET HERE
REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT TONIGHT.
THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU, AS STAFF INDICATED, IS TO RESTORE
THE ORIGINAL PLATTING WHICH I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU ON THE
RECORD.
THIS IS FROM 1989.
YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, AND IT WAS
ORIGINALLY PLATTED AS TWO LOTS, ONE WITH THE WIDTH OF 55
FEET AND ONE WITH 60, BUT IT WAS DEVELOPED AS A SINGLE LOT.
SO THE GOAL TONIGHT IS TO RESTORE THIS BACK TO THE ORIGINAL
PLAT.
WE ORIGINALLY TRIED TO DO THIS ADMINISTRATIVELY BECAUSE
THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM AS FAR AS THE LOT ITSELF.
AS STAFF SAID, THE LOT ITSELF IS 13,860 FEET.
THE UNDERLYING ZONING CATEGORY REQUIRES A LOT SIZE OF 6,000
SQUARE FEET.
WE'RE EASILY ABLE TO CREATE TWO LOTS OF THE SIZE THAT'S
CONFORMING WITH THE ZONING.
ONE LOT WOULD BE 6623 FEET AND THE OTHER LOT WOULD BE 7250
FEET.
THERE ARE TWO ELEMENTS, TWO MAIN ELEMENTS WHEN YOU CONSIDER
A LOT, THE LOT SIZE AND STREET FRONTAGE.
SO THIS IS THE ISSUE HERE.
ONE OF OUR SITES COULD MEET THE STREET FRONTAGE AT 60 FEET.
THE OTHER ONE IS OFF BY FIVE FEET.

WE'RE REALLY TALKING A DIFFERENCE OF FIVE FEET.
HAD WE HAD SUFFICIENT STREET COVERAGE, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN
ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL AND NOT BEFORE COUNCIL.
THE SIZE OF FIVE FEET IS NOT SIGNIFICANT AND IT REALLY WOULD
SORT OF SERVE AS THE PLANNING COMMISSION STATED ON THE
RECORD TO UTILIZE OR TO SORT OF TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AN
UNDERUTILIZED PARCEL THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
I HAD TWO CALLS FROM NEIGHBORS IN THE IMMEDIATE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEY WERE BOTH IN SUPPORT OF THIS.
I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A LETTER IN THE RECORD ALSO OF SOMEONE
WHO DOES NOT OBJECT.
THE PATTERN IS I THINK SORT OF A MIXED PATTERN.
YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
THE LOT NOW IS LARGE.
THE ONES ON EITHER SIDE ARE EACH 60.
ONE WOULD BE 55, WHICH IS THE BLUE AND ONE WOULD BE LIKE
THIS.
IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE PATTERN COMPATIBLE WITH THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I THINK WOULD SERVE A GOOD USE FOR THE
PROPERTY.
AGAIN, THERE'S PLENTY OF LOT SIZE.
JUST NOT ENOUGH STREET FRONTAGE.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THAT'S OUR REQUEST FOR TONIGHT.
9:47:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS?
THANK YOU, SIR.
ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?

FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3604 WEST AZEELE STREET.
THE APPLICANT IS BEING REPRESENTED BY BRYANT DUNIVAN.
THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM RS 60,
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR A
MEDICAL OFFICE USE.
I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO DO THEIR

LOCATED IN THE SOUTH PLANNING DISTRICT MORE SPECIFIC THE BON
AIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
TRANSIT STOP 0.2 MILES AWAY TO THE WEST.
CLOSEST RECREATIONAL STATE IS WILLIAMS PARK LOCATED WITHIN A

MILE TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE SITE.
THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN A LEVEL OF C EVACUATION ZONE.
HERE'S AN AERIAL OF THE SITE.
THE AREA CONTAINS A MIX OF LIKE COMMERCIAL USES,
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND
MULTIFAMILY USES.
YOU CAN SEE THE MULTIFAMILY USES OVER HERE TO THE EAST OF
THE SITE.
THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS TO THE EAST, SOUTHEAST, AND
THEN ANOTHER MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT HERE.
NORTH OF THE SITE ON WEST AZEELE STREET YOU CAN SEE SOME OF
THE LIKE COMMERCIAL USES, NORTH OF THE SITE AS WELL AS SOUTH
OF THE SITE YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED

HERE IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
SITE IS CURRENTLY RECOGNIZED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 20 FUTURE
LAND USE DESIGNATION.
THE DESIGNATION CONTINUES NORTH OF AZEELE AND WEST ON DOWN
AZEELE.
WHEN LOOKING NORTH AND SOUTH OF AZEELE AND THEN ADDITIONALLY
NORTHEAST, YOU CAN SEE THIS ORANGE COLOR THAT REPRESENTS THE
RESIDENTIAL 10 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
THEN GOING FURTHER EAST IN THE DARK BROWN COLOR THAT IS THE
RESIDENTIAL 35 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS WHERE SOME OF
THE TOWNHOMES AND MULTIFAMILY HOMES ARE FOUND.

SOUTHEAST AND PINKISH COLOR, CMU 35 DESIGNATION.
THE RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION ALLOWS FOR THE CONSIDERATION
OF LIMITED NUMBER OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL USES IF
THE PROJECT MEETS LOCATIONAL CRITERIA.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE COMMERCIAL
LOCATIONAL CRITERIA AND FINDS THE SUBJECT SITE MEETS THE
CRITERIA FOR CONSIDERATION.
SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED ALONG WEST AZEELE STREET DESIGNATED
AS AN ARTERIAL ROADWAY.
ADDITIONAL NONRESIDENTIAL ZONING IS LOCATED FURTHER WEST
ALONG WEST AZEELE STREET.
NEW COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND SIGNIFICANT COMMERCIAL
RENOVATIONS SHALL BE ENCOURAGED TO PROVIDE SIDEWALKS IN

COUNCIL, THIS ITEM IS BEFORE YOU TODAY, THIS REZONING
REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT A MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING CONTAINING

THIS IS A ONE-STORY STRUCTURE PROPOSED.
THIS IS THE SITE LOCATED IN RED.
THIS IS ON WEST AZEELE.
THIS IS HENDERSON BOULEVARD.
THIS IS KENNEDY, TO ORIENT YOU AT THE NORTH OF THE MAP.
THIS SITE IS LOCATED HERE.
YOU CAN SEE IT'S SURROUNDED WITH PD ZONING AS YOU LOOK ALONG
WEST AZEELE STREET.
THERE'S A MIXTURES BUT WHEN YOU'RE WITHIN THIS RANGE, YOU
CAN SEE THERE IS A MIXTURE OF OFFICE USES, COMMERCIAL
NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE USES.
AND THEN YOU HAVE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY ZONE WITH SOME
SCATTERINGS OF PD WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FURTHER NORTH.
THIS IS THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED.
I ZOOMED IN AND BLEW THIS UP BUT TOOK AWAY THE STREET.
THIS IS AZEELE.

-- STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FINDS THE REQUEST
INCONSISTENT.
THE INCONSISTENCY IS RELATED TO THE TRANSPORTATION RELATED
COMMENTS AND THE CODE REQUIREMENTS.
ALSO, THERE ARE REVISIONS REQUIRED TO THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN
FIRST AND SECOND READING SHOULD COUNCIL DECIDE TO APPROVE
THE APPLICATION.

9:55:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
NOT YET.
NOW WE CAN.
GO AHEAD, SIR, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT BIGGER.
9:55:35PM >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SORRY FOR THE DELAY.
THIS IS A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REZONING FOR 3604 WEST AZEELE
STREET.
IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT TRANSPORTATION IS THE ONLY
INCONSISTENCY WITH THE PLAN.
A GENERAL OVERLAY OF THE SITE IS .33 ACRES.
IT'S ON THE SOUTHWEST CORRIDOR OF AZEELE AND HIMES.
WE'VE INCLUDED AN AERIAL FROM GOOGLE EARTH WHICH SHOWS THE
MIXED USE OF THE AREA GOING TO THE CURRENT USES.
THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS ESSENTIALLY ON AN ISLAND.
THE SURROUNDING PARCELS ARE PDs, EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT OF
THE PARCEL ON AZEELE STREET.
BEHIND IT, CATTY-CORNER WOULD BE ANOTHER PD, DIRECTLY
FORWARD TO THE RIGHT ANOTHER PD.
WE'VE ALSO EXPANDED OUR VIEW A LITTLE BIT.
THIS IS THE GENERAL OVERLAY OF THE NEIGHBORING MEDICAL AND

VETERINARIAN LOCATIONS ON THIS AREA OF AZEELE.
YOU'LL SEE GOING TOWARDS DALE MABRY ALL THE WAY DOWN TOWARDS
-- TAMPA PLASTIC SURGERY CENTER, PEDIATRIC HEALTH CARE
ALLIANCE, ALL USING THAT AZEELE STREET CORRIDOR WHICH IS THE
TRANSITION AREA.
TRANSITIONING TO THE COMMERCIAL AND MEDICAL USE AS SHOWN BY
THIS SLIDE.
AS WE GO FORWARD.
THIS IS OUR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
THIS IS THE PLASTIC SURGERY CENTER.
DR. TRACY IS PRESENT IN THE AUDIENCE AS WELL AS HER SON
EDWARD.
THEY HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING TO SEE THIS DREAM COME TO
FRUITION FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING IS A WOMAN-OWNED MEDICAL AND OFFICE
BUILDING.
WE'RE PROPOSING 3868 SQUARE FEET.
PURSUANT TO THE CODE, THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GO AS FAR UP AS
7,290 SQUARE FEET.
IN THIS DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL, WE'RE PLANNING ON TWO
OPERATING ROOMS WITH THREE CONSULTATION ROOMS.
THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE AS WE ADDRESS THE INCONSISTENCIES
BETWEEN -- THE COUNCIL WILL NOTE THAT ONLY TRANSPORTATION
HAS FOUND ANY INCONSISTENCY.
THE SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SPOKEN ABOUT,

THERE IS NO ISSUE AS FAR AS WE'RE CONCERNED.
WE WORKED TO MAKE THE REVISIONS TO THE SITE PLAN TO BE
CONSISTENT AT SECOND READING.
THE ONLY ONE WHERE WE'RE ASKING FOR A WAIVER -- WE'RE ASKING
FOR TWO WAIVERS.
THE FIRST WAIVER WE'RE REQUESTING TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED
15-FOOT BUFFER AND THE 6-FOOT MASONRY WALL REQUIREMENT TO A
3-FOOT BUFFER ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
NOW, I TRIED TO MAKE THIS AS LARGE AS I CAN.
IT'S INCLUDED IN OUR APPLICATION.
THE COUNCIL WILL NOTE THE STORMWATER POND INCLUDED IN THE
SITE OVERLAY.
WHEN YOU ZOOM INTO IT, THAT'S WHERE THE THREE FOOT LANDSCAPE
BUFFER IS.
ANY LESS OF A BUFFER WOULD DRAMATICALLY IMPACT THAT
STORMWATER POND.
LOOKING TO THE ADJACENT PARCEL, 3608 AZEELE, THE COUNCIL
WILL NOTE I BELIEVE 14-INCH CAMPHOR OAK WE DESIGNATED THE
BOUNDARY REQUIRED FOR THIS TREE.
THREE FOOT BUFFER ALLOWS ADJACENT PARCEL HOLDER TO
ESSENTIALLY MEET THEIR REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TREE.
SINCE WE'RE ON THE TOPIC OF TREES, THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL
CONCERN THAT'S BEEN NOTED IN THE REPORT, A THREE INCH OAK ON
AN ADJACENT PARCEL.
AT THIS JUNCTURE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME OVERLAP BASED ON

THE SITE PLAN.
WE'RE NOT SURE WHETHER IT WOULD BE AFFECTED BY ANY OF THE
SITE PLANS.
DESPITE THAT, WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THAT ADJACENT PARCEL
OWNER.
IT INDICATES THEY ARE WILLING TO COOPERATE WITH THE REMOVAL
BY SIGNING THE AFFIDAVIT THAT NATURAL RESOURCES HAS
REQUESTED IN THE EVENT IT DOES NEED TO BE REMOVED.
OBVIOUSLY, THAT AFFIDAVIT WOULD HAVE TO BE PROVIDED PRIOR TO
PERMITTING, WHICH WE BELIEVE WE CAN COMPLY WITH.
THE BIGGEST ISSUE AND THE BIGGEST HURDLE THAT IS NOTED IN
THE STAFF REPORT IS THE PARKING WAIVER.
NOW, THE SITE PLAN ACTUALLY SHOWS TWO DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS
FOR THE PARKING.
ONE IS 23 PARKING SPACES.
THE OTHER IS 21.
AND THAT'S CALCULATED USING TWO WAYS.
ONE, THIS PARCEL CAN BE USED FOR 3,000 FEET OF MEDICAL
BUILDING WITH 868 FEET BEING DESIGNATED TO OFFICE SPACE.
THAT ESSENTIALLY GETS US TO OUR 21 REQUIRED PARKING SPACES.
IF THE FULL SITE PLAN IS USED AS MEDICAL, THAT'S WHERE THE
23 PARKING SPACES WOULD COME INTO DEBATE.
THIS WAIVER REQUEST, THOUGH, IT IS FOR A UNIQUE STRUCTURE.
WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH A MEDICAL OFFICE AND SURGERY CENTER.
IT'S A PLASTIC SURGERY CENTER WHERE THE PARCEL OWNER IS THE

ACTUAL OCCUPANT OF THE BUILDING.
BOOKING AND SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS AND CONSULTATIONS FOR
PLASTIC SURGERY PROCEDURES WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THEIR
PARKING CAN HANDLE.
GENERALLY WHEN THIS IS DONE, FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS AND
INITIAL CONSULTATIONS ARE ALL DONE VIRTUALLY ALLEVIATING A
NUMBER OF THE ISSUES THAT SOMETHING LIKE AN URGENT CARE
WOULD RUN INTO WITH PARKING.
THIS IS APPOINTMENTS AND PROCEDURES SCHEDULED WELL IN
ADVANCE OF WHEN FOLKS WOULD BE COMING.
WHEN WE GO FURTHER, WE'VE ACTUALLY STUDIED THE DATA FOR
MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING AND BASED ON THE PARKING GENERATION,
THIS IS THE FIFTH EDITION, IT SHOWS THAT A USE AT LEAST AT
THIS JUNCTURE, THE DATA IS CHANGING, 3.23 SPACES PER 1,000
SQUARE FEET OF MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING.
WE WILL NEED EVEN LESS THAN THAT AS WE'VE INDICATED ON OUR
SLIDE.
THERE'S GOING TO BE ON A FULL SURGERY DAY, A STAFF OF SEVEN
THAT FILLS UP SEVEN PARKING SPOTS.
TWO OPERATING ROOMS.
AT MOST YOU HAVE TWO FOLKS WHO ARE COMING TO GET SURGERY
THAT DAY.
GENERALLY THOSE PATIENTS ARE DROPPED OFF.
THEY ARE NOT DRIVING HOME AFTER THEY'VE BEEN PLACED UNDER
ANESTHESIA.

SO THE PARKING SPOTS WOULD NOT BE IN USE AND STILL AVAILABLE
TO THE PUBLIC AT-LARGE.
AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE FOOTPRINT, THE UNIQUE WAY THIS
BUSINESS IS OPERATED, THIS SCHEDULING IS DYNAMIC.
THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE WALK-IN FOR A PLASTIC SURGERY
CENTER.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THINGS SCHEDULED, MINDFUL OF THE
PARKING, NOT ALLOWING OVERFLOW, BECAUSE -- CAN'T BE IN MORE
THAN ONE SPOT.
GOING FURTHER, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE WAIVER, IT'S JUSTIFIED
AGAIN BY THE OPERATION OF THE BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY WILL BE
MINDFUL OF.
WITH THAT MUCH PARKING, THERE WAS A CONCERN, I BELIEVE
TRANSPORTATION VOICED IT, DEALING WITH AN OVERFLOW OF
PARKING ONTO AZEELE STREET.
GIVEN THE FOOTPRINT THAT WILL BE USED AND THE WAY SCHEDULING
WILL EXIST, IT SHOULD BE A NONISSUE.
THE PARKING LOT SHOULD NEVER BE THAT FULL WHEN THEY ARE
ACTUALLY SCHEDULING THESE OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES.
BASED ON THAT, I'LL RESERVE THE REST OF MY TIME IF I MAY.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
10:02:28PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

THIS PORTION OF ARMENIA IS PREDOMINANTLY NONRESIDENTIAL IN
CHARACTER.
THERE IS SEVERAL COMMERCIAL USES LOCATED ALONG ARMENIA
AVENUE.
AS YOU MOVE EAST -- SORRY, AS YOU MOVE WEST FROM ARMENIA,
YOU GET INTO A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED NEIGHBORHOOD.
HERE IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
A MAJORITY OF THE PD IS WITHIN THE CC 35 DESIGNATION.
AND THEN THIS WESTERN FOLIO IS WITHIN THE R-10 DESIGNATION.
THE R-10 IS BEING UTILIZED AND WAS APPROVED THROUGH A
PREVIOUS PARK D FOR PARKING.
-- PD FOR PARKING.
REMAINDER IS GOING TO BE USED BY THE HUMANE SOCIETY.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION.
FOUND THE REQUEST COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
SURROUNDING AREA.
MAJORITY OF THE PARCELS ALONG THE SEGMENT ARE UTILIZED FOR
LIKE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES WITH SOME MULTIFAMILY 2
RESIDENTIAL USES.

SINCE THE SUBJECT SITE IS NOT ADJACENT TO ANY RESIDENTIALLY
ZONED PARCELS, THE REQUEST WILL NOT ADVERSELY IMPACT THE
SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL USES.
THE PORTIONS OF THE SITE WITHIN THE CC 35 DESIGNATION ARE
WITHIN A MIXED USE CORRIDOR.
TYPICALLY WITHIN MIXED USE DISTRICT MAIN ENTRANCES TO
OFFICES ARE TO BE ORIENTED TOWARD THE ADJACENT PUBLIC
RIGHT-OF-WAY TO ADDRESS THE MIXED USE CORRIDOR POLICIES
PROVIDED A PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION WHICH CONNECTS THE BUILDING
ENTRANCE TO THE SIDEWALK ALONG NORTH ARMENIA AVENUE AND
NORTH CIMINO AVENUE.
ADDITIONALLY, SIDEWALKS PROVIDED ALONG ALL ADJACENT PUBLIC
RIGHTS-OF-WAY.
SIDEWALKS AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS WILL SUPPORT THE USE OF
TRANSIT ALONG NORTH ARMENIA AVENUE.
SIDEWALKS INTERCONNECTED TO ADJACENT PARCELS.
PLANNING COMMISSION HAS DETERMINED THAT THE APPLICANT HAS
ADDRESSED THE MIXED USE CORRIDOR POLICY TO THE BEST OF THEIR
ABILITY.
BASED ON THESE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF
FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND
POLICIES OF THE IMAGINE 2040 CITY OF TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

10:07:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN?
NO.
10:07:40PM >>LaCHONE DOCK:
LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
COUNCIL, THIS ITEM CONTAINS THE PROJECT WITHIN THIS REZONING
REQUEST, CONTAINS 3.96 ACRES.
THREE PARCELS IDENTIFIED ON THE SITE PLAN.
PARCELS ONE AND THREE HAVE CURRENT PD APPROVAL AND THEY ARE
FOR THE USE OF ANIMAL SHELTER AND COMMERCIAL OFF-STREET
PARKING.
THIS APPLICATION SEEKS TO ADD PARCEL TWO, WHICH IS
IDENTIFIED ON THE SITE PLAN.
PARCEL THREE IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF ARMENIA, WHICH
I'LL SHOW YOU MOMENTARILY.
THAT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY.
THE REMAINDER OF THE SITE IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN AN OVERLAY.
ON PAGE 2 OF THE STAFF REPORT, I PROVIDED THE PARCEL NUMBERS
AND THE EXISTING VERSUS THE PROPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGE.
IT SHOWS THE ADDITIONS.
YOU'LL SEE THERE'S NO CHANGE PROPOSED ON PARCEL ONE WITH A
CHANGE ON PARCEL TWO WITH 12,636 SQUARE FEET OF VETERINARY
OFFICE AND THEN THE COMMERCIAL PARKING WHICH IS ON PARCEL
THREE WILL REMAIN THE SAME.
THIS IS THE SITE PLAN.
I'VE BROKEN IT UP INTO THE PARCEL BY EACH PAGE.
THIS IS PARCEL ONE AND THIS IS LOCATED, THIS IS ARMENIA

AVENUE AND THIS IS THE EXISTING ANIMAL SHELTER THAT'S
LOCATED HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THE SURFACE PARKING THAT'S PROPOSED THERE.
THIS IS THE SECOND PARCEL.
SO THIS IS LOCATED NORTH OF THAT EXISTING PARCEL.
AND THIS WOULD HAVE THE INCREASED SQUARE FOOTAGE ON THE
PARCEL.
THIS IS PARCEL THREE.
THIS IS THE LOT WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF
ARMENIA.
THIS IS ARMENIA AVENUE AND IT IS USED FOR SURFACE PARKING
FOR THAT USE.
THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SITE.
SO THIS IS ARMENIA AVENUE.
THIS IS TAMPA BAY, TO ORIENT YOU ON THE MAP.
THIS IS THE SITE THAT'S LOCATED IN THE RED OUTLINE, THE
DOTTED OUTLINE.
SO THIS IS PARCEL ONE.
THIS IS PARCEL TWO THAT'S LOCATED HERE, THE NEW PARCEL AND
THEN THIS IS THE PARKING THAT'S LOCATED THERE IN THE PD.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE SITE IS SURROUNDED WITH RS 50 ZONING,
PREDOMINANTLY IN THE AREA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ARMENIA
AVENUE, WHICH CONTAINS MORE OF YOUR COMMERCIAL ZONING USES.
THEN I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE SITE THAT I CAN SHOW REALLY QUICK.
THIS IS PARCEL TWO.

THIS IS ON HOWARD.
THIS IS NORTH OF THE SITE.
SO THIS IS THAT CORNER PARCEL.
THIS IS WHERE THE ROAD MEETS INTO THAT TRIANGLE.
SO THIS LOT BEHIND IT, THIS IS PARCEL TWO.
THIS IS A VIEW THAT'S LOOKING ON ARMENIA.
THAT'S LOOKING SOUTH.
THAT'S THE EXISTING STRUCTURE THAT WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH
ON PARCEL ONE.
THIS IS LOOKING EAST ON DEWY.
THAT'S ANOTHER VIEW GOING FURTHER DOWN DEWY.
THIS IS EAST VIEW THAT'S ON PARCEL ONE.
PARCEL TWO.
AND THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW AND THIS IS WEST OF THE SITE.
SO THE DRC STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND WE FIND THE
REQUEST CONSISTENT.
SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
READING IS COUNCIL CHOOSES TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
10:11:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS?

THANK YOU.
IS MR. MECHANIK ON THE LINE.

10:11:20PM >> I NEED TO BE SWORN IN.
10:11:22PM >> [OATH ADMINISTERED]
10:11:24PM >> I DO.
THANK YOU.
MR. CHAIRMAN, COUNCIL MEMBERS, DUE TO THE LATE HOUR, I WILL
BE AS BRIEF AS I CAN.
I REPRESENT THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF TAMPA BAY, AND WE ARE HERE
ASKING FOR SOME PRETTY MODEST CHANGES, APPROXIMATELY AN
INCREASE OF 1600 SQUARE FEET OF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE, AND
WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO INCORPORATE ALL THE PARCELS ON THE
CAMPUS INTO A SINGLE PD ZONING.
I WOULD NOTE AS LaCHONE MENTIONED, WE HAVE -- ALL
DEPARTMENTS HAVE DETERMINED OUR REQUEST IS CONSISTENT, AND
WE ARE STATING FOR THE RECORD THAT WE WILL MAKE ALL CHANGES
THAT THEY HAVE NOTED IN THE REPORT THAT NEED TO BE MADE FOR
THE SITE PLAN.
AT THIS POINT, WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS JUST ASK RANDY COEN TO
GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF THE CHANGES AND THEN WE'LL BE HAPPY
TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
10:12:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES, SIR.
MR. COEN.
10:12:40PM >> GOOD EVENING.
RANDY COEN, 4121 WEST CYPRESS STREET.
I'VE BEEN SWORN HERE ON BEHALF OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF
TAMPA BAY.

I WANT TO BRIEFLY GO OVER WHAT'S ACTUALLY GOING ON HERE.
WE HAVE A ZONING WHERE THE ANIMAL SHELTER WAS APPROVED WHICH
IS REZ 18-29, THE ANIMAL SHELTER WAS BUILT IN BASICALLY
2018-2019.
THIS IS THE ANIMAL SHELTER.
IT WAS BUILT CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING.
HAD A NUMBER OF WAIVERS.
IT'S COMPLETE.
WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY CHANGES THERE WHATSOEVER.
A PART OF THAT ZONING ALSO INCLUDED THIS PARKING LOT THAT
HAD A NUMBER OF WAIVERS.
IT WAS BUILT CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING AND THE WAIVERS.
THIS PARTICULAR PARCEL HERE, WHICH IS THE ANIMAL HEALTH CARE
CENTER, WAS BUILT UNDER ITS EXISTING ZONING.
HOWEVER, THE PROPOSAL HERE IS TO MODIFY THIS BUILDING, WHICH
THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS TODAY, AND THE CHANGE IS TO BRING IT
INTO THE PD AND TO ADD A SECOND STORY.
THAT'S WHERE THE 12,639 SQUARE FEET OCCUR.
PRETTY SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD PROJECT.
I BELIEVE THAT'S WHY WE HAVE CONSISTENCY FROM ALL THE
DEPARTMENTS.
GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
10:13:52PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

YES, SIR, MR. CHAIRMAN, AS YOU RECALL
SOMETIME LAST YEAR, YOU REMEMBER ON -- BETWEEN 42nd AND --
A FOUR-YEAR-OLD WAS KILLED IN A CAR BY THE STRAY BULLET.
THE CITY EACH YEAR, THE KABOOM PROJECT COMES TO TAMPA AND
THEY PICK A PARK.

THIS YEAR IT IS WILLIAMS PARK.
SUNI WAS KILLED MAYBE THREE, FOUR BLOCKS AWAY FROM THAT
PARK, HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE, WALK DOWN THAT STREET, YOU'RE
RIGHT AT WILLIAMS PARK.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT THE ADMINISTRATION BE REQUESTED TO
INVESTIGATE INSTALLING A MEMORIAL MARKER AT WILLIAMS PARK IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE KABOOM PROJECT IN HONOR OF SUNI BELL
WHO LOST HER LIFE AT THE VERY YOUNG AGE OF FOUR YEARS OLD
DUE TO SENSELESS GUN VIOLENCE, THAT SAID REPORT BE BROUGHT
BACK ON AUGUST 25 UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
10:17:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
ALL IN FAVOR?
GREAT MOTION, SIR.
10:17:26PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
LAST ONE HERE I HAVE, MR. CHAIRMAN, IS
RECEIVE A LETTER FROM A MS. ISABELLA TASSI IN REFERENCE TO
THE CITY OF TAMPA PARKS -- PARK AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA.
APPARENTLY, THERE'S SOME KIND OF CONFUSION WITH THE
UTILIZATION OF THE PARK ON UT'S PROPERTY.
I WOULD LIKE TO ENTER HER LETTER INTO THE RECORD AND HAVE
THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT COME BACK AND GIVE US AN UPDATE OF
WHAT IS INDICATED IN THE LETTER OF THE CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT
THAT WE HAVE WITH UT AND THE PARK BECAUSE THEY ARE SAYING
THAT OTHERS CANNOT UTILIZE THE PARK.
10:18:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
IS THIS THE E-MAIL THAT CAME THROUGH --
10:18:03PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
YES.

10:18:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN GUDES.
10:18:06PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:

10:18:14PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WE HAVE SEPTEMBER 1st IS A REGULAR
SESSION.
SEPTEMBER 1st UNDER STAFF REPORTS.
MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN GUDES.
SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
ALL IN FAVOR?
ANY OPPOSED?
ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
10:18:29PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
THAT'S IT.
10:18:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
IN 2020, STATE ATTORNEY ANDREW WARREN WON REELECTION IN
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY WITH 369,129 VOTES.
THAT'S 134,294 MORE VOTES THAN GOVERNOR DESANTIS RECEIVED IN
THIS COUNTY DURING THE GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION.
THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY DEPENDS ON OUR ELECTED
PROSECUTOR BEING ABLE TO CONDUCT THE PUBLIC'S WORK WITHOUT
DISRUPTION OR INTERFERENCE.
THAT ELECTED OFFICIAL'S REPRESENT THE WILL OF THOSE WHO
ELECTED THEM IS THE BEDROCK OF OUR COMMUNITY.
STATE ATTORNEY WARREN AND I WERE HIGH SCHOOL CLASSMATES, AND
EVEN AT A YOUNG AGE, I REALIZED HIS INTEGRITY AND POTENTIAL
TO USE HIS TALENTS TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY BETTER.
I URGE THE GOVERNOR TO IMMEDIATELY REVERSE THIS DECISION AND

ALLOW OUR COUNTY TO GET BACK TO BUSINESS.
JUST WANTED TO MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
10:19:26PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES, MA'AM.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
COUNCILMAN VIERA, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING, SIR?
10:19:30PM >>LUIS VIERA:
NO.
I'M GLAD COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE ON
MR. WARREN.
I FIND IT OBSCENE AND JUST TERRIBLE PRECEDENT.
I'VE KNOWN MR. WARREN SINCE -- I DIDN'T GO TO HIGH SCHOOL
WITH HIM, BUT I'VE KNOWN HIM SINCE HE RAN IN '16, AND I FIND
HIM TO BE A VERY HONORABLE GENTLEMAN, A FINE PROSECUTOR, A
GOOD FAMILY MAN, AND JUST A GOOD COMMUNITY SERVANT.
AND THIS IS A REAL ACT AGAINST HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AND
TAMPA.
AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE OUTRAGED ON MANY, MANY
DIFFERENT LEVELS.
BUT I'VE SEEN HIM AT WORK IN SOME MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS.
I JUST FIND HIM TO BE A GOOD GENTLEMAN AND FINE INDIVIDUAL.
WHEN I SAW THAT HAPPENING, I WAS SHOCKED.
THAT'S NOT THE WAY THAT WE SHOULD GOVERN HERE IN FLORIDA.
JUST MY SENTIMENTS.
THANK YOU.
10:20:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
10:20:33PM >>BILL CARLSON:
JUST TO THAT POINT, AND WITHOUT NAMING NAMES

OR GETTING TOO DEEP INTO IT.
YOU WATCH THE PRESS CONFERENCE, IT APPEARS THAT TAMPA'S
CRIME RATE IS GOING TO BE POLITICIZED OVER THE NEXT FEW
MONTHS AND THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE NARRATIVES.
I'VE SPOKEN TO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT INSIDE AND
OUTSIDE OF TAMPA, AND NOBODY I'VE TALKED TO HAS BLAMED
ANDREW WARREN.
THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE THAT THEY BLAME FOR IT.
BUT OUR TAMPA VIOLENT CRIME RATE HAS GONE UP EVERY YEAR FOR
THE LAST THREE YEARS AS PRESENTED BY OUR NEW POLICE CHIEF,
AND THIS COUNCIL HAS APPROVED EVERY FUNDING INCREASE
INCLUDING THE LAST PAY INCREASE AND WE'VE BEEN CRITICIZED BY
THAT FROM A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY BUT THERE ARE A
LOT OF REASONS THAT THE CRIME RATE HAS GONE UP.
I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE A MOTION NOW BUT I THINK WE MAY AT
SOME POINT WANT TO USE OUR INVESTIGATIVE POWERS TO GET AN
OBJECTIVE THIRD-PARTY ORGANIZATION TO LOOK AT TAMPA'S CRIME
RATE.
NOT THAT WE WOULDN'T TRUST THE VIEWS OF ANYBODY ELSE BUT
WOULD NEED TO HAVE SOMEBODY OUTSIDE THE MARKET WHO IS
RESPECTED WHO COULD COME IN AND SAY, OKAY, HERE IS WHY YOUR
CRIME RATE HAS GONE UP EACH YEAR FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.
OTHERWISE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE USED AS A WEAPON IN LOTS
OF WAYS OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
THANK YOU.

10:22:01PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
COUNCILMAN GUDES, I HAND YOU THE GAVEL.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A MOTION, IN LIEU OF THE RECENT
ANNOUNCEMENT OF TONY'S YBOR RESTAURANT CLOSING AFTER
93 YEARS AND THE SCAGLIONE FAMILY'S LONG-SERVING
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A
COMMENDATION TO THE SCAGLIONE FAMILY AT A FUTURE DATE TO BE
DETERMINED.
10:22:23PM >>ORLANDO GUDES:
MR. MANISCALCO MADE A MOTION.
MR. MIRANDA SECONDED IT.
ALL IN FAVOR?
AYES HAVE IT.
10:22:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THAT'S IT.
MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
SECONDED FROM COUNCILMAN HURTAK.
ALL IN FAVOR?
WE ARE ADJOURNED.
THANKS.
