WELCOME.
AN EXCITING AGENDA AWAITS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
COUNCILMAN VIERA IS HERE, FOR THE RECORD.
ALL RIGHT.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY OUR MEETING THIS EVENING.
IT WILL BE SHORT.
LET'S START WITH ITEM NUMBER 1.
5:07:01PM >> GOOD EVENING.
DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
OUR FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS TA/CPA 24-03.
THIS IS A PRIVATELY INITIATED MAP AMENDMENT CONTAINING
MULTIPLE FOLIOS THAT ARE GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF EAST
BUSCH BOULEVARD AND NORTH BROOKS STREET INTERSECTION.
PRIVATELY INITIATED AMENDMENT.
IT'S SMALL SCALE IN SIZE.
SUBJECT SIZE APPROXIMATELY .6 ACRES.
THE REQUEST IS TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION

FROM RESIDENTIAL 10 TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
HERE IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND SURROUNDING
PROPERTIES.
YOU'LL SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN THE YELLOW COLOR.
IT'S JUST TO THE SOUTH OF EAST BUSCH BOULEVARD AND COVERS --
ENCOMPASSES PROPERTY ACROSS NORTH 13th STREET, NORTH
BROOKS STREET AND NORTH 14th STREET.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS APPROXIMATELY .3 MILES EAST OF THE
NEBRASKA AVENUE AND EAST BUSCH BOULEVARD INTERSECTION.
THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ALONG BUSCH BOULEVARD IS
PREDOMINANTLY COMMERCIAL, HEAVY INTENSIVE COMMERCIAL USES
WITH SOME LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
AS WE MOVE SOUTH OFF BUSCH BOULEVARD WE GET INTO A
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY PLANNING DISTRICT
AND IT IS WITHIN THE SULPHUR SPRINGS NEIGHBORHOOD.
HERE IS AN IMAGE OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS LOOKING WEST AT THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE ADJACENT
RESIDENCE FROM NORTH BROOKS STREET.
THIS RIGHT HERE IS A PORTION OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS NOT.
THIS IS A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENCE.
THIS IS LOOKING EAST AT THE SUBJECT SITE FROM NORTH BROOKS
STREET.
THIS IS ANOTHER IMAGE LOOKING EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE FROM

NORTH 13th STREET.
THIS IS AN IMAGE LOOKING WEST INTO THE SUBJECT SITE FROM
NORTH 13th STREET.
THIS IS JUST LOOKING SOUTH ALONG NORTH BROOKS STREET AT SOME
OF THE RESIDENTIAL USES SURROUNDING THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS LOOKING WEST ON NORTH 13th STREET ACROSS FROM THE
SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS JUST LOOKING JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE,
LOOKING EAST ALONG THE CSX RAILWAY ADJACENT TO THE EAST
BUSCH BOULEVARD.
HERE IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SUBJECT SITE SHOWN IN THIS -- OUTLINED
IN BLACK.
TAN COLOR REPRESENTS THE RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION.
THAT IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
IT ALLOWS DEVELOPMENT UP TO 10 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.
THAT DESIGNATION IS ALSO TO THE EAST, WEST, AND SOUTH OF THE
SUBJECT SITE.
TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE REPRESENTED BY THIS GRAY
COLOR IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
SO AS YOU COULD SEE, THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE TRANSITION
BETWEEN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND TO THE RESIDENTIAL 10 TO THE
SOUTH.
HERE IS THE PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
THIS CHANGE WOULD RECOGNIZE ALL FOLIOS, INCLUDING THE

APPLICATION UNDER LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION SO IT WOULD
BRING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DOWN TO THE SOUTH OFF EAST BUSCH
BOULEVARD.
HERE IS A SLIDE SHOWING THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE
PROPOSED CHANGE UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 10 FUTURE LAND USE
DESIGNATION, THE SUBJECT SITE CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR MAXIMUM
OF SIX DWELLING UNITS OR APPROXIMATELY 9,147 SQUARE FEET OF
NONRESIDENTIAL USES.
ANY NONRESIDENTIAL USES UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION
WOULD BE REQUIRED TO MEET COMMERCIAL LOCATIONAL CRITERIA.
AS PROPOSED UNDER THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION, THIS
WOULD REMOVE THE CONSIDERATION OF RESIDENTIAL USES FROM THE
SUBJECT SITE.
IT WOULD INCREASE F.A.R. ON THE SUBJECT SITE UP TO 1.5
F.A.R. AND ALLOW APPROXIMATELY 39,204 SQUARE FEET OF
NONRESIDENTIAL USES ON THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS REQUEST WOULD INTRODUCE THE CONSIDERATION OF COMMERCIAL
INTENSIVE USES, CG USES AS WELL AS IG USES ON THE SUBJECT
SITE.
THIS WENT OFF TO OUR REVIEWING AGENCIES.
THERE WAS AN OBJECTION FROM THE CITY OF TAMPA STAFF.
THIS ITEM WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION BOARD ON AUGUST
12.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND OVERALL FOUND THE REQUEST
CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SPECIFICALLY THEY FOUND IT CONSISTENT
WITH LU POLICY 8.9.2 WHICH ENCOURAGES THE CONTINUE
INTENSIFICATION AND EXISTING OF INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSING AND
DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES AND ALSO THE POLICY SUPPORTS THE
POLICY THAT PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW WAREHOUSING
DISTRIBUTION ACTIVITIES IN SELECT LOCATIONS TO PROVIDE A
RANGE OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN TAMPA'S RESIDENCES.
OVERALL, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED THAT THE
PROPOSED MAP AMENDMENT BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS
AND OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:12:03PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS?
NO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:12:10PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
RYAN MANASSE WITH JOHNSON POPE, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE,
SUITE 3100.
IF I COULD HAVE THE PRESENTATION PULLED UP, PLEASE.
5:12:18PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
[MICROPHONE NOT ON]
5:12:34PM >> THE SCREEN DIDN'T SWITCH OVER, THOUGH.
THERE WE GO.
GOOD EVENING, AGAIN.
RYAN MANASSE, FOR THE RECORD.
WE'RE HERE TONIGHT, LIKE DANNY STATED, REGARDING THE

MULTIPLE ADDRESSES IN THE FOLIOS THAT FUNCTION AS ONE ZONING
LOT.
AS STAFF STATED, WE ARE REQUESTING A CHANGE FROM THE RES 10
CATEGORY TO R-10 TO LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, LI.
MY CLIENT IS JOHN MESSINA, THE OWNER OF TAMPA SPRING
COMPANY, WHICH HAS BEEN OPERATING AT THIS LOCATION SINCE
1969.
THEY UTILIZE MULTIPLE YARDS AND BUILDINGS FOR VEHICLE
REPAIR, OPERATIONS WITH THE STORAGE OF THOSE VEHICLES BEFORE
AND AFTER THE REPAIRS ARE MADE, WHICH IS VERY TYPICAL FOR
THIS TYPE OF USE.
SOMETHING JUST TO POINT OUT, I KNOW DANNY WENT THROUGH IT,
BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THIS PLANNING COMMISSION
RECAP ON AUGUST 12, PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED AND FOUND OUR
AMENDMENT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN,
SPECIFICALLY THE COMMISSIONERS MADE NOTE OF LAND USE
OBJECTIVE 8.9 AND POLICY 8.9.2 IN THE RESOLUTION TO CITY
COUNCIL.
AND THIS IS IMPORTANT AS THE PREMISE BEHIND THE LAND USE
OBJECTIVE AND POLICY IS TO RECOGNIZE INDUSTRIAL LAND FOR
THEIR SUPPORT TO ECONOMICS IN THE CITY AND TO PRESERVE
INDUSTRIAL LANDS AND ENCOURAGE CONTINUED INTENSIFICATION IN
LOCATIONS AND WE BELIEVE IN THIS LOCATION.
SO HERE IS AN AERIAL.
SHOWS YOU THE REQUESTED AREA AND MAKEUP OF THE SURROUNDING

NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU COULD SEE, I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT SOME OF THE INTENSE
COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL USES FURTHER SOUTH.
THOSE ARE ALL WITHIN THE R-10 CATEGORY AS WELL AND KIND OF
SEE THOSE MORE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF YOUR SCREEN.
THE 3D IMAGE.
THE YELLOW IS OUR SUBJECT REQUEST.
YOU CAN SEE THE OPERATION IS EXISTING AND IT'S BEEN THAT WAY
FOR SOME TIME.
AND THAT BLUE SHADED AREA IS THE REMAINDER OF THE PROPERTY.
SO REALLY IT IS THE BLUE AND THE YELLOW CONSIST OF THE
ENTIRE OPERATION FOR OUR CLIENT BUT AGAIN THE YELLOW IS THE
PART OF THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.
I KNOW DANNY SHOWED IT IN THE PICTURES BUT JUST TO THE SOUTH
YOU HAVE THE CSX TRACKS AS WELL AS BUSCH BOULEVARD.
SO I REVIEWED THE EXISTING USES AND SHOWN HERE IN BLUE IS
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.
THE YELLOW ARE DUPLEXES WHICH APPEAR TO BE NONCONFORMING.
THE PURPLE ARE COMMERCIAL OR OTHER TYPE OF INDUSTRIAL TYPE
USES, SOME OF WHICH WOULD BE NONCONFORMING WITH THE LAND USE
DESIGNATION AS WELL.
THIS IS A UNIQUE NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH IS MADE UP OF MULTIPLE
USES, SOME INTENSE WHICH ABUT EACH OTHER.
IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR SOME TIME.
THE SITE LIMITS ACCESS POINTS AND THE DIRECT ROUTE FOR

BUSINESSES NORTH TO BUSCH BOULEVARD WHICH IS A SIX LANE
DESIGNATED TRANSIT CORRIDOR.
THE ONLY ACCESS TO THE SITE IS ON NORTH 13th STREET AND
NORTH BROOKS STREET.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PREVIOUS SLIDE WE ENCOMPASS MULTIPLE
STREETS ALONG BUSCH AND LEMON.
MANY USES IN THIS AREA APPEAR TO BE NONCONFORMING WITH LAND
USE CATEGORY AND ARE IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE OUR
REQUEST.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE ZONING MAP BECAUSE THE RED AREA THAT
IS DASHED IS OUR REQUEST.
YOU CAN SEE THERE THAT ZONING DISTRICT IG IS PART OF THAT.
THAT'S BECAUSE THERE IS AN INCONSISTENCY WITH THE PLAN.
PART OF OUR REQUEST HAS IG ZONING BUT UNDERLYING FUTURE LAND
USE CATEGORY IS R-10.
THE REMAINING TWO PARCELS, ONE TO THE SOUTH OF THE IG AND
THEN ALL THE WAY TO THE EAST ARE THAT PEACH COLORED R-10.
JUST A NOTE -- CAN'T POINT ON THE SCREEN -- BUT ON BROOKS
STREET, ONE OF THE ZONING LOTS IS HALF ZONED IG AND RS 50.
THIS WOULD MAKE IT A CONSISTENT LAND USE CATEGORY SO WE CAN
DO THE SUBSEQUENT REZONING.
THIS LINE YOU COULD SEE IT ACTUALLY ZIGZAGS NORTH AND SOUTH,
THE ZONING LINE.
IT DOESN'T EXACTLY MATCH UP WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE
CATEGORY LINE THAT YOU SAW IN DANNY'S PRESENTATION WHERE IT

IS MORE THAT STRAIGHT LEFT, EAST TO WEST NICE STRAIGHT LINE.
YOU CAN SEE THE IG DIPS DOWN SOUTH, CUTS UP NORTH, DIPS DOWN
AGAIN.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY THERE'S INCONSISTENCIES WITH THE PLAN AND THE
ZONING THAT'S EXISTING ON THE PROPERTY IN THE AREA.
I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT CITY OF TAMPA PLANNING STAFF DID
OBJECT, BUT THEY UTILIZED TWO CRITERIA IN THEIR REPORT.
AS YOU SEE ON SCREEN, HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW ON THE RIGHT
SIDE, STAFF DID FIND THAT WE MET BOTH CRITERIA.
REMAINING TEN AGENCIES OR DEPARTMENTS IN THE CITY HAD NO
OBJECTION TO OUR REQUEST.
I THINK THAT'S IN PART BECAUSE THIS R-10 AGAINST THE LI HAS
BEEN THAT WAY FOR SOME TIME AND REALLY JUST REMAINING THAT
WAY.
THERE ARE SEVERAL OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES THAT SUPPORT OUR
REQUEST.
I HAVE THEM ON SCREEN.
PROMISE I WON'T READ THEM ALL.
I DID SUBMIT THIS FOR THE RECORD.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT AGAIN IS LAND USE POLICY
8.9.2, TO ENCOURAGE THE CONTINUED INTENSIFICATION AND
EXISTENCE OF INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSING -- INDUSTRIAL,
WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES AND PROVIDE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW WAREHOUSING DISTRIBUTION ACTIVITIES IN
SELECT LOCATIONS TO PROVIDE A RANGE OF EMPLOYMENT

OPPORTUNITIES FOR TAMPA'S RESIDENTS.
I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT, AND I THINK THE PLANNING
COMMISSION SAW THAT AS WELL.
OUR REQUEST PROMOTES REASONABLE EXPANSION OF THE LI CATEGORY
IN THIS AREA THAT IS UNIQUELY CATEGORIZED WHILE MAINTAINING
THE AREA THE BUSINESS HAS OPERATED IN FOR 55 YEARS.
THIS INDICATES THAT IT IS NOT AN EXPANSION OF LI INTO R-10,
BUT SIMPLY THE PRESERVATION OF LI CATEGORY AND THE LIKE USES
IN THE AREA.
ADDITIONALLY, THE APPROVAL OF THIS AMENDMENT WILL PRESERVE
THE INDUSTRIAL USES IN THIS AREA, WHICH, AS WE KNOW,
INDUSTRIAL LANDS HAVE BEEN DRASTICALLY REDUCED IN THE RECENT
YEARS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
WITH THAT, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS SHOULD
YOU HAVE ANY, AND WE WOULD REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
5:18:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

5:19:29PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:19:31PM >> THANK YOU, CITY COUNCIL.
5:19:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES, SIR.
ITEM NUMBER 2.
5:19:47PM >> EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS IS TA/CPA 24-09.
IT IS GENERALLY LOCATED NORTHWEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF

NORTH MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE AND WEST BRADDOCK STREET.
THIS IS PRIVATELY INITIATED SMALL-SCALE.
IT'S APPROXIMATELY 0.11 ACRES.
THE REQUEST IS TO GO FROM RESIDENTIAL 10 TO RESIDENTIAL 20.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT,
TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE AND TAMPA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED HERE.
TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS PLYMOUTH PLAYGROUND.
TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH AND WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE ARE
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
THIS IS A TECO SUBSTATION AND FURTHER NORTH TO THE SUBJECT
SITE OVER HERE IS THE WOODLAWN CEMETERY.
THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED NORTH OF THE SUBJECT
SITE.
THIS IS THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS THE PLYMOUTH PLAYGROUND WHICH IS TO THE EAST.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED HERE IN BLACK AND IS
REPRESENTED WITH THE RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE MAP, TO THE NORTH, SOUTH, AND WEST
OF THE SUBJECT SITE, IT IS SURROUNDED BY THE RESIDENTIAL 10
DESIGNATION.
AND TO THE EAST WHERE THE PLYMOUTH PLAYGROUND, IT IS
RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE.
AND FURTHER TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IN THIS LIGHT

TAN COLOR IS THE URBAN -- IS THE SUBURBAN MIXED USE 6
DESIGNATION.
AGAIN, THE SUBJECT SITE IS HERE AND IT IS REPRESENTED WITH
THE RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION WHICH THE SUBJECT SITE IS
PROPOSING.
THESE ARE THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
CURRENTLY UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION, THE SITE
COULD HAVE ONE DWELLING UNIT AND SLIGHTLY OVER 1,600 SQUARE
FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES IF LOCATIONAL CRITERIA WAS MET.
UNDER THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION, THE SUBJECT
SITE CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR TWO UNITS AND SLIGHTLY UNDER
2,400 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES IF LOCATIONAL
CRITERIA WAS MET.
LOCATIONAL CRITERIA DOES BECOME BROADER UNDER THE
RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION, BUT IT WOULD STILL BE LIMITED TO
NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL USES.
THIS WAS SENT TO OUR REVIEWING AGENCIES AND THE CITY OF
TAMPA DID OBJECT TO THIS REQUEST.
THIS WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND THEY FOUND IT
CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE
TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SPECIFICALLY THEY FOUND THAT IT
WAS CONSISTENT WITH RELATING NEW DEVELOPMENT TO THE CONTEXT
OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT WOULD ALSO PROMOTE A RANGE OF
USES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EACH OTHER.
WITH THAT, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED THAT THE

PROPOSED MAP AMENDMENT BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS,
OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
5:22:59PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANY QUESTIONS?
NO.
THANK YOU.
APPLICANT.
HELLO.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
5:23:09PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
GOOD EVENING, ACTUALLY.
MY NAME IS MATT SIENK GREEN.
I LIVE AT 410 WEST PARK AVENUE.
I AM AN AUTHORIZED AGENT AND I'M ALSO A PROPERTY OWNER.
SHOULD HAVE A PRESENTATION COMING UP ON IT.
LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.
I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN ME MULTIPLE TIMES UP HERE.
ACTIVE ON THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION, ON THE CAC
FOR THE TPO.
I STAY REALLY, REALLY ACTIVE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
I'M ALSO A DEVELOPER AND HOME BUILDER.
ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT I WANT TO MAINTAIN THE
CONSISTENCY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND ALSO ENHANCE
AFFORDABILITY.

KIND OF GIVE AN IDEA OF WHAT I DO AND WHAT I'VE BUILT, THESE
ARE EXAMPLES OF WHAT IT IS THAT I HAVE DONE WITHIN THE
COMMUNITY.
THESE ARE ALL BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE SUBJECT.
THE REAL REASON THAT I'M SEEKING TO DO THIS AND THE WHY IS
MISSING MIDDLE.
I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT AFFORDABILITY, ESPECIALLY
IN TAMPA HEIGHTS.
WHEN I MOVED THERE 11 YEARS AGO, IT WAS AFFORDABLE.
IT WAS CLOSE.
IT WAS CONVENIENT.
I LOVE MY NEIGHBORS AND SLOWLY BUT SURELY PEOPLE ARE GETTING
PRICED OUT.
SO THE HOME I LIVE IN NOW I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO AFFORD.
SO ONE OF THE BIG KEYS FOR ME AND MY LEGACY IS TO ENSURE
THAT I'M KEEPING TAMPA HEIGHTS IN SOMETHING THAT PUSHES
AFFORDABILITY, PUSHES SUPPORT OF OUR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS
AND BY INCREASING DENSITY THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN ACHIEVE.
SO ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS I THINK I TOOK OUT OF THIS
WHOLE THING IS RIGHT NOW TAMPA RANKS AT THE VERY BOTTOM FOR
AFFORDABILITY.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
I KNOW EVERYBODY HERE HEARS THAT ALL THE TIME AND THIS IS
ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
THE BIGGEST THING REALLY IS THAT THERE ARE DUPLEXES AND

TOWNHOMES IN THIS AREA THAT HAVE BEEN HERE A HUNDRED YEARS,
75, 80 YEARS, PEPPERED THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
THAT'S PART OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
ALSO A REASON TO GIVE AFFORDABILITY.
AS WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING UP, GOING FROM RENTING TO LOOKING
TO OWN, I COULD BUILD THIS, BUT IT'S GOING TO HAVE A PRICE
TAG OF OVER A MILLION DOLLARS.
I DON'T WANT THAT.
I WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD SOMETHING IN THIS
COMMUNITY.
WHEN I LOOKED AT THIS PLOT OF LAND, I LOOKED AT IT BASED ON
WALKABILITY AND CONNECTION.
ONE OF THE BIG THINGS ABOUT IT IS YOU CAN ACTUALLY WALK TO
TAMPA STREET AND TAKE THE BUS DOWN.
YOU'RE ACROSS FROM A PARK WHERE ACTUALLY UP THE STREET FROM
A CHURCH.
IT IS A WALKABLE COMMUNITY.
WE'RE WALKING DISTANCE TO THE SCHOOL DOWN SOUTH.
IF WE LOOK AT IT, THE WAY THAT PLANNERS OFTEN DO, WE GO FROM
A LOT OF COMMERCIAL ON NORTH BOULEVARD THAT'S NOT
REPRESENTED ON THE MAP, AND YOU CAN SEE HERE, THESE ARE ALL
COMMERCIAL.
THIS IS ONE BLOCK OVER.
SO AS WE STEP DOWN, THE DENSITY MAKES SENSE IN THIS
LOCATION.

OTHER THING, TOO, ACTUALLY SUPPORTS TRANSIT ORIENTED
DEVELOPMENT.
ONE OF THE BIG KEYS OF DOING THAT IS INCREASE DENSITY OF
HOUSING SO WE CAN SUPPORT OUR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS AS WE TRY
TO GET AWAY FROM THE CAR AND PARKING CYCLE THAT WE'VE KIND
OF STUCK OURSELVES WITH IN TAMPA.
COMPATIBILITY BASICALLY TAMPA HEIGHTS IS AN URBAN VILLAGE.
IT DERIVES ITS CHARACTER NOT FROM BEING ONE SIZE FITS ALL.
SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE MAPS, YOU DON'T REALLY GET A GOOD
TASTE FOR IT BECAUSE THERE IS A TON OF NONCONFORMING R-10 IN
THIS AREA.
ACTUALLY ONE HOUSE NORTH OF MINE IS ACTUALLY DUPLEX BUT IT
DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE MAP.
FOR COUNCIL TO LOOK AT IT, IT'S HARD BECAUSE THERE'S
NONCONFORMING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
I WANT TO GIVE YOU GUYS A PICTURE OF IT.
EACH ONE OF THESE STARS, THERE'S 11 OF THEM, BASICALLY SHOW
MULTIFAMILY OR DUPLEX, DUPLEXES, TRIPLEXES, UP TO
EIGHT-PLEXES PEPPERED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SKIP ONE LOT AND GO DOWN SOUTH, THAT IS A DUPLEX.
GO ACROSS THE PARK AND WE HAVE GRAHAM'S HOSTEL.
THERE IS A HOSTEL IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
PART OF THE CHARACTER IS HAVING DENSITY AND LEGAL
NONCONFORMING I THINK WILL KIND OF SOLVE ITSELF IN THE
FUTURE.

BUT I'M A LITTLE DEVELOPER.
I DON'T HAVE TIME TO SIT ON LAND FOR THREE YEARS FOR THINGS
TO WORK THEMSELVES OUT.
THESE ARE EXAMPLES LIKE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
EACH ONE OF THE DOTS LINE UP WITH ONE OF THESE.
THAT IS A TRIPLEX.
NEXT IS AN EIGHT-PLEX AND THESE ARE DUPLEXES WITHIN THE SAME
NEIGHBORHOOD.
AS YOU CAN KIND OF SEE, THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS DIFFERENT
TYPES, DIFFERENT LOOKS, BUT IT'S ALL DUPLEX AND MULTIFAMILY.
THE FUN THING ABOUT IT, 3108, WHAT YOU SEE ON THE FAR
RIGHT-HAND SIDE IS ACTUALLY TWO HOUSES DOWN FROM THE PARCEL
OF LAND.
TO SAY IT IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND
CHARACTER WOULD BE A MISREPRESENTATION.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS VIABLE, NEW CONSTRUCTION WHICH ALL
THESE HAVE BEEN BUILT IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT
SUPPORT THAT.
NAMELY, IF YOU LOOK AT 210 COLUMBUS, THIS IS A DUPLEX IN
HISTORIC DISTRICT.
THESE ARE NOTHING NEW TO TAMPA HEIGHTS.
SO GIVING THIS ALLOWS US TO DRIVE AFFORDABILITY WITH OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD AND BUILD THE VARIETY OF HOUSING OPTIONS THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE.
THESE ARE MY PROTOTYPES, ACTUALLY, THAT I'M WORKING ON.

SO TO SUPPORT THE CAUSE AND THE CODE THAT'S ALREADY THERE, I
THINK POLICY 123 WHICH IS COMPATIBILITY I THINK IS
COMPATIBLE.
I THINK IT DOES SPEAK TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
FURTHER DOWN, IT WILL GIVE THE NEED FOR AFFORDABILITY AND
RECOGNIZE THAT AS THINGS CHANGE AND WE SEE PRICES INCREASING
THAT WE'LL HAVE TO CHANGE SOME OF OUR POLICIES TO MAKE THAT
HAPPEN.
THE PROJECT VISION BASICALLY SUPPORTS DENSITY, WALKABILITY,
AND TYING IN FOR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS IN THE FUTURE.
THIS IS A DUPLEX.
MAXIMUM OF TWO UNITS AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING BEYOND A
DUPLEX.
TO ENSURE THAT I STAY WITHIN THE LINES OF WHAT I'M SUPPOSED
TO DO, DO KNOW THAT I WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO ASSISTED
WITH THE TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY DISTRICT.
SO THAT OVERLAY DISTRICT IS ALSO GOING TO CONTROL THE ZONING
SIDE OF IT AND THE BUILDING SIDE OF IT AS WE GET FURTHER
DOWN THE PROCESS.
I INTENTIONALLY DID NOT DO THE REZONING AT THIS MEETING
BECAUSE I KNOW COUNCIL PREFERS TO HAVE COMP PLAN DONE FIRST
AND THEN ZONING DONE LATER.
TON OF DIFFERENT EXAMPLES ON WHY I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE
SUPPORTED.
BIGGEST ONE IS BASICALLY THERE IS A TON OF GRANDFATHERED

DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE R-10 THAT IS LEGAL, NONCOMPATIBLE.
HERE ARE ALL THE POLICIES THAT SUPPORT OUR VISION.
APPRECIATE IT.
5:29:44PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANY QUESTIONS?
DO WE HAVE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS
ITEM, ITEM NUMBER 2?
MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
ALL IN FAVOR?
ANY OPPOSED?
GO AHEAD, SIR.
5:30:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE INTERESTING ONES
BECAUSE COMING INTO HERE I REALLY DIDN'T THINK I WOULD
SUPPORT THIS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, BUT YOU CAME IN REALLY PREPARED
AND THE EXAMPLES OF THE NONCONFORMITY AND YOU WERE VERY WELL
PREPARED.
IT COMPLETELY SHIFTED MY VIEW -- I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE
NEIGHBORHOOD BUT NOT TO THAT DEGREE WHERE I KNOW THESE
NONCONFORMING DUPLEXES WERE TO SEE THAT IT'S ALREADY
EXISTING IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND YOU HAD ME AT
TRANSPORTATION ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT.
IT WAS A GOOD COMPREHENSIVE PRESENTATION.

IT WAS DEFINITELY -- DEFINITELY SHIFTED MY VIEW ON THIS.
THANKS FOR COMING SO WELL PREPARED.
5:30:42PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH WHAT THE COUNCIL
MEMBER SAID.
ALSO THE MISSING MIDDLE.
WE TALK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY IN COMPARISON TO OTHER PRODUCTS
THAT YOU'VE BUILT, YOU RESPECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT A FUTURE REZONING OR ANYTHING, BUT YOU
UNDERSTAND LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY, BEING RESPECTFUL TO THE
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, TO THE CHARACTER AND MAKEUP.
I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT.
COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
5:31:15PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I WANT TO SAY PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING.
THANK YOU FOR BEING SO WELL PREPARED AND SO KNOWLEDGEABLE
ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SENSITIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I'M SURE YOU ARE ALREADY, BUT YOU AND BRIAN SHOULD TALK TO
THE CONSULTANT WHO IS DOING THE ZONING.
THERE HAS TO BE A SPECIAL CATEGORY IN OTHER CITIES FOR WHAT
YOU'RE DOING THAT'S DIFFERENT.
THAT IS AN ISSUE FOR ANOTHER DAY.
THERE'S GOT TO BE A CATEGORY FOR WHAT YOU DO WHERE WE CAN
ENCOURAGE MORE PEOPLE TO DO THIS.
5:31:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANYBODY ELSE?
5:31:45PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I JUST WANT TO SAY I KNOW THE AREA VERY
WELL.

THAT'S WHERE JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL GOES TO PRACTICE BASEBALL
BECAUSE THEY NEVER HAD A DIAMOND WHEN I WAS THERE.
PLANT AND HILLSBOROUGH HAD THEIR OWN DEAL.
WE HAD TO WALK IN SAND SPUR INFESTED TO BEAT PLANT AND
HILLSBOROUGH BOTH.
IT IS WHAT IT IS.
QUESTION NOT TO YOU DIRECTLY, I SEE WE -- 40% ACCORDING TO
INCOME, RIGHT, BUT THAT'S A NUMBER THAT COMES TO BE HIGHER
OR LOWER DEPENDING WHO YOU ARE SPEAKING WITH AS FAR AS
INCOME.
5:32:19PM >> RIGHT.
THEY ARE SAYING -- [INAUDIBLE]
5:32:23PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
COME UP.
5:32:24PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I'M JUST SAYING WHEN I READ THAT, TELLS
ME, WELL, IT MIGHT BE FACTUAL, BUT IT'S NOT PERFECT.
5:32:29PM >> RIGHT.
5:32:30PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU.
5:32:31PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
5:32:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COULD THEY AFFORD DIAMONDS BACK THEN?
WAS IT MORE LIKE A TRIANGLE?
5:32:39PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WE HAD TO --
5:32:42PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA, WOULD YOU MIND
READING ITEM NUMBER 2?
5:32:45PM >>LUIS VIERA:
I MOVE AN ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST
READING CONSIDERATION.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, FUTURE
LAND USE ELEMENT, FUTURE LAND USE MAP FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED NORTHWEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH MASSACHUSETTS
AVENUE AND WEST BRADDOCK STREET, FOLIO NUMBER 182406-0005,
FROM RESIDENTIAL 10, R-10 TO RESIDENTIAL 20, R-20, PROVIDING
FOR REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
5:33:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
VIERA.
AND SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
ALL IN FAVOR?
AYE.
ANY OPPOSED?
5:33:18PM >>THE CLERK:
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY WITH HURTAK BEING
ABSENT.
SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 19,
2024, AT 10:00 A.M. IN CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 315 EAST
KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602.
5:33:33PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
LAST ITEM OF THE AFTERNOON.
WE HAVEN'T EVEN HIT THE EVENING.
YES, SIR.
5:33:42PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
DANNY COLLINS, AGAIN WITH YOUR PLANNING
COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS IS TA/CPA 24-10.
THIS IS FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2101 WEST MAIN STREET.

THIS IS A PUBLICLY INITIATED AMENDMENT BY THE CITY CRA.
IT IS SMALL SCALE IN SIZE.
APPROXIMATELY .22 ACRES.
CHANGE FROM COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35 TO RECREATIONAL/OPEN
SPACE CATEGORY.
SITE WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
WITHIN WEST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE AND OLD WEST TAMPA
NEIGHBORHOOD.
HERE IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND SURROUNDING
PROPERTIES.
SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN YELLOW.
NORTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH ALBANY AVENUE AND MAIN STREET JUST
NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE.
THERE ARE SOME NONRESIDENTIAL USES TO THE SOUTH OF THE
SUBJECT SITE WITH RESIDENTIAL USES TO THE NORTH OF THE
SUBJECT SITE.
HERE IS AN IMAGE LOOKING TOWARDS THE SUBJECT SITE FROM NORTH
ALBANY AVENUE.
ANOTHER IMAGE OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS LOOKING ALONG WEST MAIN STREET, LOOKING WEST ALONG
WEST MAIN STREET TOWARDS NORTH HOWARD AVENUE.
THIS IS STANDING AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WEST MAIN STREET
AND NORTH HOWARD AVENUE.
HERE IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
CURRENTLY THE SUBJECT SITE IS RECOGNIZED UNDER THE CC-35

FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
THAT'S MIXED USE LAND USE CATEGORY.
ALLOWS DEVELOPMENT UP TO 35 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE OR UP TO
2.0 F.A.R.
TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE WE HAVE SOME RESIDENTIAL
20.
THAT'S CC-35 IS TO THE EAST, SOUTH, AND WEST OF THE SUBJECT
SITE AND ONE BLOCK SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE.
HERE IS THE PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY SHOWING
RECREATION OPEN SPACE CATEGORY ON THE SUBJECT SITE.
CURRENTLY UNDER THE CC-35 DESIGNATION, THE SUBJECT SITE CAN
BE CONSIDERED FOR SEVEN DWELLING UNITS OR JUST OVER 19,160
SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL OR RESIDENTIAL USES.
THIS CHANGE TO THE RECREATION OPEN SPACE CATEGORY WOULD
REMOVE THE CONSIDERATION OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES
FROM THE SUBJECT SITE.
ON THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WOULD ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL OF
COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON AUGUST 12.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED -- FOUND THE REQUEST TO
BE CONSISTENT WITH A NUMBER OF RECREATION OPEN SPACE
POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND OVERALL JUST
PROTECTING AND CREATING PARKLAND IN THE CITY.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDED THAT THE PROPOSED MAP AMENDMENT BE FOUND

CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE
TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I THINK THERE IS A MEMBER FROM THE CRA HERE.
5:36:32PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
FUN FACT, TRIVIA QUESTION.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT HISTORICALLY WAS ON THIS PROPERTY?
THE WEST TAMPA CITY HALL BUILDING.
5:36:44PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I'M NOT THAT OLD.
5:36:45PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
BEFORE YOUR TIME.
YOU DON'T COUNT.
1925 IS WHEN THE CITY ANNEXED WEST TAMPA.
BUT THAT'S WHERE THE CITY HALL BUILDING STOOD.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME.
5:37:02PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
BRYCE FEHRINGER WITH TAMPA CRA STAFF.
AS MR. COLLINS STATED IN HIS PRESENTATION, THIS PLAN
AMENDMENT APPLICATION SEEKS TO ENSURE THAT THE EXISTING PARK
USE ON THE SITE IS PROTECTED FOR A LONG-TERM BASIS.
THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE CRA IS TO REDEVELOP THE PARK AND
ADD IT TO THE CITY'S OFFICIAL INVENTORY.
THIS APPLICATION PLAYS AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN PRESERVING THE
SITE AS A COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACE WHICH DIRECTLY ALIGNS
WITH THE WEST TAMPA COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE VISION FOR
THE SITE.
THE REQUEST IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH SECTION 9.2 OF THE WEST

TAMPA COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN WHICH SEEKS THE
DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC PARK SPACE AND AMENITIES INTERIOR TO
THE CRA DISTRICT.
SIMILARLY, SECTION 11.4 ALLOWS FOR TIF FUNDS TO BE UTILIZED
TO IMPROVE EXISTING PARKS AND FUND ADDITIONAL PARK SPACES AS
WELL.
TAMPA CRA STAFF STRONGLY SUPPORTS THE APPLICATION.
BRENDA THROWER AND I ARE BOTH HERE AND CAN ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
5:37:54PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ANY QUESTIONS?
NO.
IS THERE ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON
ITEM NUMBER 3?
I SEE NO ONE.
MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN.
SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
ALL IN FAVOR?
AYE.
ANY OPPOSED?
COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON, ITEM NUMBER 3.
5:38:07PM >>GWEN HENDERSON:
YES, SIR.
I MOVE FILE TA/CPA 24-10, AN ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR
FIRST READING CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE TAMPA
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT, FUTURE LAND USE
MAP, FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2101 WEST MAIN STREET FROM

COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35, CC-35, TO RECREATIONAL/OPEN SPACE
R/OS, PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT,
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
5:38:43PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON.
SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
ALL IN FAVOR?
AYE.
ANY OPPOSED?
ALL RIGHT.
THAT --
5:38:49PM >>THE CLERK:
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, HURTAK BEING
ABSENT.
SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 19,
2024, AT 10:00 A.M. IN CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 315 EAST
KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602.
5:39:06PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IT'S NORMALLY NOT THIS QUICK, FOR ALL THE
STUDENTS OUT THERE.
5:39:09PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THAT CONCLUDES THE AGENDA.
WE'LL GO TO NEW BUSINESS.
KICK IT OFF WITH COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING, SIR?
5:39:19PM >>BILL CARLSON:
YEAH, TWO THINGS ONE IS JUST TO SAY CONGRATS
TO ALL THE STUDENTS HERE AND THE MAYOR WILL PROBABLY WRITE
LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION.
IF YOU ALL NEED HELP FROM US, LET US KNOW.

ALSO MANY OF THE THINGS YOU ALL ARE INTERESTED IN ARE THE
SAME THINGS WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN.
IF YOU LOOK AT OUR BACKGROUNDS AND FIND THAT WE MIGHT BE
ABLE TO CONNECT YOU TO SOME PLACES, WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, PLEASE COME BACK AFTER COLLEGE.
WE NEED ALL OF YOU TO COME BACK AND HELP LEAD THE COMMUNITY.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES WHEN YOU GRADUATE
COLLEGE AND CAN'T FIND ANY, COME TALK TO US.
THE LAST THING, REMEMBER THIS MORNING WE HAD A CONVERSATION
ABOUT ALCOHOL AND HOWARD AVENUE CAME UP A LOT.
I TALKED TO SOME OF THE SOUTH HOWARD NEIGHBORHOOD
ASSOCIATION TODAY, I KNOW THIS IS AVAILABLE ON ACCELA, BUT
THEY WOULD LIKE A MAP OF HOWARD AVENUE JUST ONE BLOCK ON
EACH SIDE FROM KENNEDY DOWN TO BAYSHORE THAT SHOWS VISUALLY
WHAT THE CURRENT ALCOHOL ENTITLEMENTS ARE AND HOURS OF
OPERATION FOR EACH OF THE PROPERTIES ALL THE WAY DOWN JUST
SO THEY CAN HAVE AN UPDATED VIEW OF IT.
I THINK WE HAD A VERSION OF THIS YEARS AGO, SO IT MIGHT BE
EASY TO UPDATE.
SIX OR EIGHT NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS ALONG THERE THAT
WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT INFORMATION JUST SO THEY CAN GET
UPDATED.
I MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE -- TO ASK CITY STAFF TO CREATE A MAP
OF THE ALCOHOL LICENSES AND HOURS OF OPERATION ON HOWARD
AVENUE FROM KENNEDY TO BAYSHORE TO PRESENT AS A WRITTEN

REPORT ONLY TO THE OCTOBER 3 MEETING.
5:40:57PM >> SECOND.
5:40:57PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND.
YES, SIR.
5:41:00PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY THERE, BUT
KENNEDY IS FINE.
5:41:08PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THERE IS THE ROSE BAR.
I THINK LIKE THE NORTHERNMOST.
5:41:15PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
CIRCLE K MAY HAVE IT AND THAT KIND OF
STUFF.
5:41:18PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THE QUESTION CAME UP THIS MORNING.
STEVE MICHELINI WAS TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
RESTAURANTS AND BARS.
PEOPLE ARE CURIOUS WHICH ONES ARE RESTAURANTS AND WHICH ONES
ARE BARS.
5:41:27PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WE JUST LEASED THE LAND ACROSS THE
STREET.
THE LEASE IS VALID AS LONG AS THEY SAY YOU GOT 30 DAYS TO
LEAVE, YOU GOT TO LEAVE.
THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED.
YOU GOT NOTHING.
5:41:41PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES, SIR.
5:41:42PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
BIT OF CONFUSION.
BARS ARE A CATEGORY.
RESTAURANTS, AND THEN THERE ARE THINGS, SMALL VENUE AND

LARGE VENUE THAT ALSO COME IN AND HOW THAT'S BY NUMBER OF
SEATS AND HOW THAT FITS INTO IT.
SOME THINGS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN CHARACTERIZED AT ONE POINT
DIFFERENTLY A FEW YEARS AGO BY NOW IT'S PROBABLY MANY YEARS
AGO, THEY CHANGE THE CLASSIFICATIONS TO SMALL VENUE AND
LARGE VENUE.
I BELIEVE CERTAIN CATEGORIES WITH REGARD TO RESTAURANTS CAN
BE ADMINISTRATIVELY GRANTED AND COULDN'T COME TO CITY
COUNCIL.
5:42:17PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I THINK I SAID LIQUOR LICENSES, SO THAT
WOULD BE --
5:42:22PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
LIQUOR LICENSE IS A STATE DESIGNATION.
IT WOULD BE AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT.
5:42:28PM >>BILL CARLSON:
SORRY.
I NEED TO CHANGE THE MOTION, INSTEAD OF LIQUOR LICENSE --
SHOULD I SAY BOTH?
5:42:33PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
NO.
5:42:34PM >>BILL CARLSON:
JUST ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMITS INSTEAD OF
LIQUOR LICENSE, PLEASE.
5:42:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR?
AYE.
ANY OPPOSED?
ANYTHING ELSE?
ANYTHING, SIR?

5:42:44PM >> DO NOT.
5:42:45PM >>GWEN HENDERSON:
YES, THANK YOU, CHAIR.
MY MICROPHONE IS ON.
WE ALREADY RECEIVED WRITTEN REPORT, FILE CM 24-6819
REGARDING THE MOTION THAT I MADE FOR JULIAN B. LANE THAT WAS
SECONDED BY VIERA.
I WANT TO -- FOR US TO ESTABLISH A WORKSHOP ON SEPTEMBER 26
REGARDING THE CONTRACT DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
JULIAN B. LANE ON SEPTEMBER 26.
THERE'S NO OTHER OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT THIS YEAR BESIDES
SEPTEMBER.
AND THE CONTRACT IS DUE FOR RENEWAL IN APRIL.
5:43:26PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR?
AYE.
ANY OPPOSED?
5:43:30PM >>BILL CARLSON:
COULD I ASK, SINCE WE CAN'T TALK OUTSIDE, DO
YOU HAVE --
5:43:34PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
VENDORS --
5:43:35PM >>BILL CARLSON:
ANY INITIAL FEEDBACK FROM THE MEMO SUBMITTED
TODAY BY THE CREATIVE LOAFING?
5:43:40PM >>GWEN HENDERSON:
INTERESTING ENOUGH, THEY DID SAY WE DO
SPECIFICALLY ALLOW OUTSIDE VENDORS TO WORK UNDER ONE OF OUR
OTHER VENDORS IF THEY WANT TO COME IN, ESPECIALLY FOR
CHARITABLE EVENTS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY REFERENCED,

WHICH IS FINE.
BUT IN THIS INSTANCE, IT WASN'T ADVERTISED AS A CHARITABLE
EVENT.
THEY DID GIVE A PORTION OF IT TO A LAUNDRY PROJECT AND SAID
IT BRIEFLY, BUT CLEARLY A CREATIVE LOAFING EVENT.
I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THE WEEDS WITH THAT.
I JUST KNOW THAT WE NEED TO BE VERY TRANSPARENT IN
DISCUSSING JULIAN B. LANE'S CURRENT SITUATION AND HOW WE CAN
IMPROVE IT.
ABSOLUTELY NO EQUITY IN WHO UTILIZES IT AND SPECIAL
OCCASIONS AT TIMES IS WHAT THEY REFERENCE AT TIMES WE WILL
ALLOW OTHER PEOPLE TO COME IN.
IT'S JUST NOT VERY CLEAR AND THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN ASKING FOR
THIS.
THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN ASKING.
THIS SEPTEMBER WORKSHOP WILL ALLOW US TO PUT OUR TWO CENTS
IN, GET TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS SO
THAT STAFF CAN COME UP WITH A CONTRACT THAT IS MORE
APPEALING TO THE COMMUNITY AND ALSO PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY
WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO UTILIZE A FACILITY THAT IS A PARK.
5:45:05PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR?
AYE.
ANY OPPOSED?
ANYTHING ELSE?

5:45:11PM >>GWEN HENDERSON:
NO.
5:45:12PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
5:45:12PM >>LUIS VIERA:
NOTHING.
JUST HAPPY LABOR DAY TO EVERYBODY ON MONDAY.
I KNOW WE HAVE THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ARE OR WERE UNION
MEMBERS.
COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON, COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN, COUNCILWOMAN
HURTAK, SO HAPPY LABOR DAY TO EVERYBODY.
AND TO ALL THE GOOD FOLKS IN THE MAYOR'S YOUTH CORPS, THANK
YOU ALL FOR COMING HERE.
AS THEY SAID, IT IS MUCH SHORTER THAN TYPICAL.
I THINK I'M SPEAKING TO YOU ALL IN OCTOBER, I THINK, WHO
DOES A WONDERFUL JOB.
SO HAPPY TO HAVE MOLLY BIEBEL HERE.
SHE IS AMAZING.
LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING WITH YOU ALL AND BORING YOU ALL FOR
HOWEVER LONG I GET TO TALK.
I WAS GOING TO ASK, IF YOU GUYS WANT, IF IT'S PERMISSIBLE,
IF YOU WANT TO COME BY, IT'S NOT ANYTHING SPECIAL, BUT IF
YOU WANT TO LOOK AT OUR OFFICES BEHIND, WHATEVER, PLEASE.
MINE IS LIKE EMOTIONALLY UNBALANCED.
MINE IS VERY WEIRD.
THAT'S ALL.
THANK YOU.
5:46:13PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.

5:46:14PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
HE CLEANED THE OFFICE OUT SO YOU COULD
SEE IT.
AMAZING, THE GUY.
HE'S REAL SMART.
ONLY JOKING WITH YOU.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
IT IS A PLEASURE FOR YOU ALL TO BE HERE.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE.
IT WILL ALWAYS BE WONDERFUL, NO MATTER WHAT LANGUAGE IT IS.
THANK YOU.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
FIGURE THAT OUT AND YOU GET AN A.
HOWEVER, LET ME SAY THIS, MR. CHAIRMAN, YOU MADE A STATEMENT
ABOUT WHAT WAS THAT BUILDING ON THE EAST SIDE OF WHAT --
MAIN AND ALBANY.
WHAT WAS ON THE WEST SIDE OF MAIN AND ALBANY?
5:47:02PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
ON THE WEST SIDE OF MAIN AND ALBANY.
5:47:04PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE IT.
THE PALLBEARERS UNION.
5:47:10PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
REALLY.
THE PALLBEARERS UNION.
5:47:12PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
LOOK IT UP.
5:47:15PM >>GWEN HENDERSON:
[INAUDIBLE]
5:47:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THAT'S RIGHT.
FURTHER DOWN WAS COZY CORNER.

YOU KNOW WHO ATE AT COZY CORNER BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO HAS A
PHOTO DOESN'T WANT TO PUBLISH IT YET.

SONS.
