BARCELONA STREET, UNITS 401-2303 AND FOLIO 127264-8338 FOR
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OFFICE RETAIL,
RESTAURANT/BAR SCHOOL AND RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY HIGH-RISE
AND SCHOOL.
YOU SEE IT OUTLINED IN RED ON SOUTH BAY TO BAY.
WEST YSABELLA.

A LITTLE POCKET OF CG DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED
USES.
LOOKING TO THE EAST, YOU HAVE RM 24, RS-75 AND PD.

RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY HIGH-RISE AND SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED
USES.
TO THE WEST, YOU HAVE THE SELMON EXPRESSWAY.
WE WILL GO TO THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
THIS PROJECT MAY LOOK FAMILIAR TO SOME OF YOU ALL.
THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENT ON-SITE WAS APPROVED VIA
A PD, REZ-22-72.
PROVIDED THE SITE FOR OFFICE BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL,
RESTAURANT AND RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY HIGH-RISE.
THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS TO ADD THE USE OF THE SCHOOL TO
PARCEL 1, WHICH IS LOCATED HERE.
THAT -- SO THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO ALLOCATE 9500
SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL USES TO THE USE
OF SCHOOL.
ASIDE FROM THAT, THE ONLY PHYSICAL CHANGES PROPOSED TO THE
SITE IS TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE SOLID WASTE LOCATED HERE
AND THE LOSS OF ONE PARKING SPOT DUE TO PROVIDING ADDITIONAL
SPACE FOR THE LIFT STATION LOCATED HERE.
OTHER THAN THAT, THERE ARE NO PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SITE
PLAN OR THE USES OTHER THAN REALLOCATED 9500 SQUARE FEET TO
THE OFFICE PROFESSIONAL.
THE USE ONE PARKING SPOT AND INCREASING THE SOLID WASTE
LOCATION.
OTHER THAN THAT, THE SITE PLAN WILL BE STAYING COMPLETELY
THE SAME.
YOU WILL STILL HAVE VEHICULAR ACCESS TO PARCEL 1 FROM BAY TO
BAY AND YSABELLA.
AND YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS TO BOTH PARCELS VIA THIS DRIVE
AISLE AND THE SURFACE PARKING LOCATED IN THE REAR.
AND ACCESS ALONG SOUTH -- WEST BARCELONA STREET THAT
PROVIDES YOU ACCESS TO THE PARKING LOCATED UNDER THE
RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.
AND THEN YOU STILL HAVE ALL THE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS
INTERNAL TO THE SITE.
I WILL QUICKLY SHOW SOME ELEVATIONS.
WHILE THERE ARE ELEVATIONS, EVERYTHING ON THE SITE IS
ALREADY CONSTRUCTED.
LOOKING AT ELEVATIONS OF PARCEL 1.
AND THESE ARE YOUR ELEVATIONS FOR PARCEL 2, WHICH IS THE
RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.
GO THROUGH PICTURES REAL QUICK TO SEE HOW THE SITE WAS
DEVELOPED.
AFTER THE REZONING WAS APPROVED.
WE ARE LOOKING EAST AT THE INTERSECTION OF YSABELLA AND WEST
BAY TO BAY TOWARD WEST BAYSHORE.
YOU HAVE PAY TO BAY HERE, PARCEL 1, WHERE THE ALLOCATION TO
THE SCHOOL USE IS PROPOSED.
LOOKING ACROSS THE STREET, LOOKING SOUTH.
NOW WE ARE LOOKING NORTH THIS IS PARCEL 1 HERE.
PARCEL 2 IS LOCATED HERE.
MOVING FARTHER NORTH ALONG YSABELLA, THE INTERNAL DRIVE
ACCESS THAT PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE PARKING GARAGE AND
PARKING IN THE REAR OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
LOOKING SOUTH AT THE SUBJECT SITE OF THE SEMI USE AND
DETACHED USES.
AND NOW WE ARE LOOKING NORTH UP THAT DRIVE AISLE TO THE
ACCESS OF THE PARKING GARAGE AND THE PARKING IN THE REAR.
THIS IS THE LOCATION OF THE SOLID WASTE THAT WILL BE
EXPANDED AND MADE LARGER.
AND THE LIFT STATION IS BACK HERE WHERE THE ONE PARKING SPOT
WILL BE LOST.
WE MOVED OVER TO SOUTH BARCELONA -- NO, THIS IS LOOKING
SOUTH FROM WHERE THE PARKING GARAGE ENTRANCE IS BETWEEN THE
TWO PARCELS.
NOW WE ARE AT YSABELLA AND BARCELONA LOOKING NORTH INTO THE
SUBJECT SITE HERE.
NOW WE ARE LOOKING BACK SOUTH FORWARD OR EAST TOWARD
BAYSHORE.
YOU HAVE THE SUBJECT SITE HERE, WHERE IT IS LOCATED WITH THE
SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED UNITS.
THE ENTRANCE TO THE MULTIFAMILY.
LOOKING SOUTH.
NOW WE ARE LOOKING NORTH ON YSABELLA.
YOU CAN SEE THE MULTIFAMILY IN THE BACKGROUND AND TOWN
HOMES.
AND THEN FINALLY, WE ARE LOOKING BACK SOUTH TOWARD PARCEL 1,
WHERE THE USE WILL BE LOCATED AT -- WHERE THE SCHOOL USE
WILL BE LOCATED AT.
THE SITE PLAN BACK UP.
JUST, AGAIN, THIS IS THE PARCEL WITH THE PROPOSED CHANGES.
THERE WILL BE NO PROPOSED CHANGES ON THIS SITE.
AND YOU ONLY HAVE A FEW CHANGES.
I WENT OVER TO THIS ONE.
DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW STAFF FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
SHOULD IT BE THE WILL OF THE COUNCIL TO APPROVE, CHANGES ON
THE SITE PLAN AND CHANGE SHEET AVAILABLE BETWEEN FIRST AND
SECOND READING.
05:14:02PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:

THANK YOU.
PLANNING COMMISSION.
05:14:07PM >>EMILY PHELAN:
EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.

GARDENS NEIGHBORHOOD.
IN EVACUATION ZONE A, SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED HERE IN
THE CMU-35 DESIGNATION.
TO THE NORTH IS THE RM-3, TO THE SOUTH IS THE R-50 AND TO

EXIST SIDEWALKS ALONG THE RIGHT-OF-WAYS WITH CONNECTIONS TO
THE BUILDING.
PROPOSED 2.0 F.A.R. IS CONSISTENT UNDER THE CMU-35
DESIGNATION AND SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND FOUND
NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD.
REZONING WILL ALLOW BETTER UTILIZATION OF THE LAND THAT IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE ANTICIPATION UNDER THE CMU-35
DESIGNATION.
COMP PLAN PROMOTES PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AND ENCOURAGES
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT ENHANCES THE CITY OF TAMPA'S
CHARACTER AND AMBIENCE.

BAY AND SOUTH YSABELLA AVENUE.
THE REQUEST IS COMPATIBLE AND COMPARABLE WITH THE

APPLICANT.
05:15:36PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
ALEX SCHALER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
I DON'T HAVE TOO, TOO MUCH MORE TO ADD.
A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE REZONING.
WE WERE HERE IN 2022.
IF YOU MAY RECALL, WE DECREASED THE OFFICE ENTITLEMENT AND
INCREASED THE RESTAURANT ENTITLEMENT.
THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON HOW.
DOING THE BUILDING AND INTERIOR RETENANTING.
WE ARE GOOD AT FUTURE PROOFING THE APPLICATIONS WITH ALL THE
USES WE NEED.
IN THE FIRST GO-AROUND.
BUT WE DID HAVE A FUTURE TENANT APPROACH THE PROPERTY OWNER
OF WHAT WE THINK WOULD BE A GOOD FIT HERE.
IT IS DEFINED AS, QUOTE "SCHOOL" IN THE CODE, KAPLAN
LEARNING, SYLVAN LEARNING.
PRIVATE INSTITUTIONAL.
SOME HAVE SPECIAL USES FOR THAT.
RIGHT NOW THE CITY DOES NOT.
CANDIDLY WE THOUGHT OF CREATING A USE.
YOU CAN DO THAT INDEPENDENTLY -- OR ADMINISTRATIVELY IN THE
ZONING CODE, BUT SOMETIMES THE CLEAREST AND SIMPLEST PATH IS
ONE AN ALREADY ESTABLISHED PROCESS.
THE USE OF SCHOOL WITH 9500 SQUARE FEET.
FULLY CONSISTENT FINDINGS FROM ALL OF THE REVIEWING
AGENCIES.
WE DID EXCHANGE SOME CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF
THE BAYSHORE GARDENS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
THEY DID CONTACTS AND CLARIFICATION OF THE REQUEST, AND THEY
RAISED NO CONCERNS.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
BUT THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

REZONE 2420 AND 2022 WEST STROUD AND FROM RM-24 TO PD SINGLE
FAMILY ATTACHED USES.
START WITH THE AERIAL REVIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
IN THE SURROUNDING AREA, YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE
OUTLINED IN RED HERE.
AND IT IS ON THE WEST -- THE SOUTH SIDE OF WEST STROUD
AVENUE BETWEEN SOUTH LORENZO AND SOUTH BAY VILLA PLACE.
THE AREA SURROUNDING THE SUBJECT SITE ATTACHED, SEMI-DETACHED
AND MULTIFAMILY USES.
AREAS TO THE NORTH, SOUTH AND EAST SURROUNDING THE SUBJECT
SITE IS BY RM-24, REZONING OF PD ONE BLOCK TO THE WEST FOR
MULTIFAMILY TOWN HOMES, AND THAT'S HERE.
AND THIS IS THE SELMON EXPRESSWAY.
AND IT IS MOSTLY MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL, AND THEN YOU MOVE
TOWARD HOWARD, AND IT BECOMES A LITTLE MORE COMMERCIAL IN
THAT AREA.
NEXT, WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE SITE PLAN.
THIS IS THE SITE PLAN THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY THE
APPLICANT.
THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO CONSTRUCT ONE THREE-STORY
STRUCTURE WITH A TOTAL OF SIX UNITS.
HERE YOU CAN SEE THE OUTLINE OF THE PROPERTY.
UNITS 1-6.
THE ENTRYWAY TO THE UNITS IS OFF OF WEST STROUD.
AND IN THESE ENTRY WAYS, THERE IS ALSO A TWO-CAR GARAGE INTO
EACH UNIT.
THEY ARE ORIENTED TOWARD WEST STROUD AVENUE.
THEY ARE PROPOSED WITH THREE STORIES.
AND THERE IS A PROPOSED FIVE-FOOT SIDEWALK SURROUNDING THE
SITE WITH ACCESS TO WEST STROUD AND WEST LORENZO HERE.
AND A CODE REARED TWO VISITOR SPACES OVER HERE FROM SOUTH
LORENZO.
NEXT, WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE ELEVATION PROVIDED BY THE

THEN WE ARE MOVING FURTHER DOWN.
STILL THE SUBJECT SITE.
AND THEN THIS LOOKING EAST ON STROUD AT THE SUBJECT SITE.
THEN WE ARE STILL ON STROUD HERE.
AND WE ARE LOOKING NORTH.
THE EXPRESSWAY IS OVER HERE JUST TO ORIENT YOU.
AND THEN LOOKING EAST AT LORENZO AND STROUD.
THEN SOUTH ON LORENZO AND SUBJECT SITE IS ON THE RIGHT, AND
THIS IS WEST, AND THIS IS ALSO THE SUBJECT SITE THERE.
THIS IS SOUTH ON SOUTH CAROLINA.
THIS IS LOOKING NORTH ON LORENZO.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTHEAST ON LORENZO.
AND THEN OUR FINAL PICTURE IS LOOKING SOUTHWEST ON LORENZO.
THIS IS BEHIND THE SUBJECT SITE.
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE
APPLICATION AND FINDS THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
NO WAIVERS AS PART OF THIS REQUEST.
IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE APPLICATION, THE MODIFICATIONS
TO THE SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET
MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AND I AM
AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
05:27:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE.
05:27:37PM >>STEPHANIE POPE:
I WILL TURN IT OVER TO PLANNING
COMMISSION.
05:27:42PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
PLANNING COMMISSION.
05:27:43PM >>EMILY PHELAN:
EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS SITE IS WITHIN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT IN THE
BAYSHORE GARDENS NEIGHBORHOOD.
EVACUATION ZONE B.
THIS IS LOCATED HERE IN THE RESIDENTIAL-35 DESIGNATION, WHICH
ALLOWS FOR MEDIUM AND LOW-DENSITY USES.
THAT DESIGNATION IS TO THE NORTH, EAST AND SOUTH OF THE
SUBJECT SITE AND LIGHT BROWN IS THE RESIDENTIAL-20
DESIGNATION TO THE WEST.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE AVERAGE DENSITY OF
WEST STROUD AVENUE AND WEST TEXAS AVENUE, EXCLUDING THE
SUBJECT SITE.
EXISTING DENSITY IS 18.39 ACRES BASED AND FIVE SAMPLE SITES
EXCLUDES THE VACANT PARCELS AS WELL, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY
61% OF DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE R-35 DESIGNATION.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND IT
CONSISTENT UNDER THE R-35 DESIGNATION AND POLICIES ON
VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED LAND.
REQUEST WILL ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING AND A VARIETY OF
HOUSING TYPES.
OVERALL, THE PROPOSED REQUEST IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE
WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING USES AND CONSISTENT
WITH THE PATTERN UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL-35 DESIGNATION.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS.
05:29:00PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY QUESTIONS?
APPLICANT?
05:29:07PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.
STEVE MICHELINI REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER.
I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
I THINK THE STAFF HAS DONE A REMARKABLE JOB IN, YOU KNOW,
PRESENTING THIS CASE.
AS THEY SAID, WE ARE NOT REQUESTING ANY WAIVERS, BUT LET ME
GO THROUGH THE SITE PLAN VERY QUICKLY.
THIS IS -- THIS IS A CHALLENGING SITE.
IT IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE CROSSTOWN EXPRESSWAY.
SO IT IS GOING TO PRESENT SOME DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES, BUT
ANYWAY, WE PRESIDED AS THE STAFF SAID.
NO WAIVERS.
SO WE HAVE GREEN SPACE ON BOTH THE EAST AND THE WEST SIDES.
THE GARAGES ARE 20 FEET X 22 FEET IN DEPTH.
I HAVE A DETAIL OF THAT WHICH I WILL SHOW IN A SECOND.
THERE IS -- AND WE HAVE TWO VISITOR SPACE ON THE END DOWN
HERE.
AND THEN THERE IS THE DETAIL WITH THE 20 FEET AND THE 22
FEET ON THE GARAGES WITH THE INTERIOR STORAGE OF GARBAGE.
IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY ON THE SOUTH SIDE
IS THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX.
IT IS SURROUNDED BY OTHER TOWNHOUSES AND MULTIFAMILY
PROJECTS.
THIS SUBJECT SITE IS HERE.
AND YOU SEE THE PROXIMITY TO THE CROSSTOWN EXPRESSWAY THERE.
THIS SHOWS YOU DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET, APARTMENT
BUILDING HERE.
I AM NOT SURE IF THEY ARE CONDOS OR APARTMENTS, BUT THEY ARE
MULTIFAMILY, DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE SUBJECT SITE HERE.
AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROJECT, WE END UP WITH AN ADDITIONAL
8.25 FEET BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE PROPERTY LINE AND THE EDGE
OF THE PAVEMENT.
THE DRIVEWAYS ARE 18 FEET IN WIDTH.
AND THE FRONT DOORS ALL FACE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
SO WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR THE WAIVERS ON THE DRIVEWAYS.
BOTH THE CITY STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND IT
CONSISTENT.
WE HAVE NO WAIVERS, AS I SAID, AND WE ARE SURROUNDED BY
MULTIFAMILY.
WE ARE PROPOSING SIX UNITS ACCORDING TO THE DENSITY WITH THE
LAND USE WHERE WE ARE ALLOWED SEVEN.
AND WE ARE PROPOSING SIX.
THIS REPLACES AN EXISTING DUPLEX, WHICH IS PROBABLY FROM THE
EARLY 50s.
AND WE WILL HAVE A NICE -- A NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THERE.
THIS IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE CROSSTOWN AS I SAID.
AND THE STAFF HAS FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT.
IT DOES MEET ALL OF THE CRITERIA REGARDING THE INFILL AND
DEVELOPMENT.
I WOULD LIKE TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF THINGS REQUIRED FOR
A PD ZONING.
PROMOTE THE EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF LAND AND
STRUCTURES.
THIS SITE IS ZONED FOR MULTIFAMILY AND FUTURE LAND USE
OF R-35, WHICH EXPECTS A HIGHER DENSITY AND THE APPLICANT IS
PROPOSING A DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT.
ENCOURAGE THE FLEXIBILITY OF DEVELOPMENT.
REDUCES TRANSPORTATION NEEDS.
WE ARE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE CROSSTOWN.
OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS NO ACCESS THERE, BUT THEY ARE TRANSIT
CONNECTIONS IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST.
THE APPLICANT PROPOSES 2273 SQUARE FEET OF GREEN SPACE.
IT IS MORE THAN 2100 SQUARE FEET THAT IS REQUIRED.
THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PROVIDED AND COMMITTED TO TYPE 1 SHADE
TREE SO AS WE WILL MAKE ERIN HAPPY.
PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT WHERE APPROPRIATE IN
LOCATION AND THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE IMMEDIATE AREA IS
CHARACTERIZED BY SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND DETACHED, AS
WELL AS SOME SMALL INCIDENTAL COMMERCIAL USES.
WE ARE NOT INTRODUCING A NEW USE IN THE AREA.
IT ALREADY IS FAIRLY HEAVILY DEVELOPED INTO MULTIFAMILY.
PROMOTES DESIRABLE LIVING CONDITIONS.
WE ARE COMPLYING WITH THAT.
PROMOTE THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLES AND DEVELOPMENT.
THERE IS AN ECLECTIC STYLE THAT STARTS BACK IN THE '60s AND
'70s WITH MORE BLOCKY STYLE.
THIS WILL HAVE MORE ARCHITECTURAL RELIEF.
WE ALSO WILL BE REQUIRED TO INCREASE AND IMPROVE AND EXTEND
THE UTILITIES FOR WATER, SEWER AND THE AREA AS WELL AS
INTRODUCE A SIDEWALK WHICH DOES NOT EXIST CURRENTLY.
AND AS A STAFF POINTED OUT, THAT IS A FIVE-FOOT-WIDE
SIDEWALK.
I DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE CRITERIA SINCE WE ARE NOT
ASKING FOR ANY WAIVERS.
I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF'S REPORT
AND ALL OF THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES THAT THEY HAVE
IDENTIFIED AS BEING CONSISTENT TO BE RECEIVED AND FILED AND
MADE PART OF THIS RECORD.
I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
NO ONE HAS CONTACTED US WITH ANY CONCERNS ON THIS
REDEVELOPMENT.
AND WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.

05:36:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SOMEBODY LET MR. SHELBY OUT OF HIS CAGE.
THANK YOU.
05:36:41PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS:
START WITH OUR AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT
SITE OUTLINED IN RED.
CONSISTS OF THREE PARCELS.
PARCEL ONE IS WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED.
PARCEL THREE WHICH CONSISTS AT THE END OF NORTH ROCKY POINT
DRIVE.
AND PARCEL 3 WHICH IS HERE A WETLAND PARCEL.
TO THE NORTH OF THE WETLAND PARCEL, A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
OFFICE BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL.
NORTH OF THIS PART OF THE SUBJECT SITE, OFF PD THAT IS FOR
HOTEL.
GOING TO THE WEST, YOU HAVE ANOTHER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
WHICH IS FOR OFFICE BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL.
AND TO THE WEST OF THIS PARCEL IS RM-24 WHICH IS DEVELOPED
WITH RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.
AND THEN SOUTH AND EAST OF IT, YOU HAVE OLD TAMPA BAY.
MOVE ON.
TO THIS RIGHT HERE.
I WANTED TO PUT THIS UP BECAUSE THIS IS PROVIDED BY THE
APPLICANT AND GIVES YOU A BETTER IDEA OF THE DIFFERENT
PARCELS.
PARCEL 3 WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED.
SMALLER ROADWAY AND WETLAND PARCEL.
GIVES YOU A BETTER IDEA WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT IS GOING.
SO HERE IS THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A 360,468-SQUARE-FOOT RESIDENTIAL
STRUCTURE WITH 352 MULTIFAMILY AND 9375 SQUARE FEET OF
COMMERCIAL AND RESTAURANT USES.
MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE MULTIFAMILY WILL BE HERE AND A SIDEWALK
THAT RUNS FROM NORTH ROCKY POINT DRIVE TO THE MULTIFAMILY
ENTRANCE THERE.
THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 1032-SQUARE-FOOT RESTAURANT
OFFICE WHICH WILL BE LOCATED HERE ON THE GROUND FLOOR AND A
252-SQUARE-FOOT RESTAURANT LOBBY AND ELEVATOR WHICH IS
WHERE PATRONS WOULD COME IN AND THEN GO TO THE RESTAURANT USE
WHICH IS LOCATED ON UPPER FLOORS.
THAT 1,000-SQUARE-FOOT RESTAURANT OFFICE IS SUPPOSED TO BE
FUNCTIONING AS A CATERING OFFICE FOR THE RESTAURANT LOCATED
ON THE UPPER FLOORS.
ENTRANCE WILL BE A SIDEWALK HERE ALONG NORTH ROCKY POINT
DRIVE.
LET'S SEE HERE.
VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE SITE IS PROVIDED HERE FROM THAT
ROADWAY PARCEL.
THIS WILL TAKE YOU UP TO THE PARKING GARAGE AND ALSO TAKES
TO YOU A DROP-OFF, PICK-UP SPOT FOR THE RESTAURANT LOCATED
ON THE UPPER FLOORS.
318 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED AND 386 PARKING SPACES ARE
PROVIDED.
AND THE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT PROPOSED TO BE 230 FEET.
SO WE WILL GO TO SOME PICTURES, ELEVATIONS PROVIDED BY THE
APPLICANT NOW.
THIS IS THE NORTH ELEVATION.
THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION.
THIS IS THE SOUTH ELEVATION.
AND THIS IS WHERE THE PROPOSED RESTAURANT IS GOING TO BE
LOCATED.
THEN FINALLY, WE HAVE THE WEST ELEVATION.
I WILL RUN THROUGH SOME PICTURES OF THE SITE REAL QUICK.
SO HERE IS THE ROADWAY PARCEL RIGHT HERE.
AN THEN YOU HAVE THE PARCEL WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT IS GOING
TO OCCUR TO THE LEFT.
NOW WE ARE LOOKING SOUTH.
THE ROADWAY PARCEL AND THE PARCEL THAT IS GOING TO BE
DEVELOPED IS THE HOTEL THERE.
LOOKING INTERNAL TO THE SUBJECT SITE.
NOW WE ARE LOOKING BACK TO THE WEST WHERE THE ROADWAY PARCEL
IS.
LOOKING SOUTHEAST INTERNAL TO THE SUBJECT SITE TOWARD OLD
TAMPA BAY.
NOW WE ARE LOOKING WEST AT THAT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR
OFFICE BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL USES.
LOOKING SOUTHEAST, MOVING INTERNAL TO THE SITE, THERE IS
THE PD WITH THE HOTEL.
AND THE SUBJECT SITE.
BETTER VIEW OF THE NEIGHBORING PARCEL.
NOW WE ARE LOOKING NORTH.
THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE HERE.
AND THEN A BETTER VIEW LOOKING NORTHEAST FROM THE FRONT OF
THE PARCEL RUNNING THE WATER.
LOOKING BACK SOUTH TOWARD THE DRIVE AISLE TOWARD NORTH ROCKY
POINT DRIVE.
AND NOW WE ARE MOVING TOWARD THE WETLAND PARCEL, THE HOTEL
AND THEN PAST THE HOTEL IS WHERE YOU GET TO THE WETLAND
PARCEL.
SO HERE IS THE WETLAND PARCEL AND THE RM-24
MULTIFAMILY ACROSS THE STREET FROM IT.
BETTER VIEW OF THE WETLAND PARCEL.
AND THEN LOOKING BACK DOWN TOWARD WHERE THE SUBJECT SITE
WILL BE DEVELOPED.
I DO WANT TO MENTION AS PART OF THIS REZONING, IF IT IS
APPROVED, THE WETLAND PARCEL WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO BE
DEVELOPED IN THE FUTURE.
ALL RIGHTY.
DEVELOPMENT.
LET ME PUT THE SITE PLAN BACK UP.
IN ADDITION, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO -- A
BONUS PROVISION AGREEMENT WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT.
DEVELOPMENT STAFF REVIEWED AND FOUND IT CONSISTENT.
APPLICANT EXCEEDS THE REQUIRED GREEN SPACE THAT NEEDS TO BE
PROVIDED AND PROPOSED USES ARE APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION.
SHOULD IT BE THE OF CITY COUNCIL, MODIFICATIONS ON THE
REVISED SHEET MUST BE READ BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
05:42:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY QUESTIONS?
05:42:49PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS:
I WILL TURN IT OVER TO EMILY WITH PLANNING
COMMISSION.
05:42:52PM >>EMILY PHELAN:
EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS SITE IS WITHIN THE WEST SHORE PLANNING DISTRICT, THE
COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND EVACUATION ZONE A, SUBJECT SITE
WITHIN THREE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS.
THIS PARCEL HERE INCLUDING PART OF THE ROADWAY PARCEL IS A
COMMUNITY MIXED USE-35.
THE WESTERN PORTION HERE IS THE URBAN MIXED USE-60
DESIGNATION.
AND THE REMAINING OF THIS PARCEL IN THE GREEN IS THE
ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS DESIGNATION.
UNDER THESE DESIGNATIONS.
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT MAY UTILIZE F.A.R. DENSITY PER THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
IF A SITE WITHIN THE WEST SHORE DISTRICT HAS MORE THAN 50%
OF WETLANDS IT IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE
AREA DENSITY CREDIT AND F.A.R. MAY BE BLENDED ON TO THE
SITE.
THE DEVELOPMENT IS LOCATED ON THIS PARCEL AND BLENDING ALL
THE ENTITLEMENTS TO THIS PARCEL.
PROPOSED F.A.R. IS COMBINED TOTAL UNDER THE CMU-25 AND
UMU-60 DESIGNATION AND THE CREDIT.
PROPOSED 20-STORY BUILDING WILL BE THE HIGHEST ON THE SOUTH
SIDE OF COURTNEY CAMPBELL CAUSEWAY.
SIXTEEN-STORY BUILDING LOCATED ON APPROXIMATELY ON THE NORTH
SIDE HERE.
THE PORTIONS OF THE PARCEL DESIGNATED AS CMU-35 AND UMU-60
WITHIN A MIXED USE CENTER CORRIDOR.
THE PD WITH ENTRANCES OF NORTH ROCKY POINT DRIVE AND MEETING
THE INTENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN
REGARDING CORRECTING THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION, F.A.R.
AND PROPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND
READINGS AS CITY STAFF IS MENTIONED IN THE REVISION SHEET.
PROVIDE HOUSING ON UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO MAKE SURE ADEQUATE
HOUSING IS NEEDED FOR THE CURRENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS AND
OVERALL, PROPOSED REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CMU-5
AND UMU-60 DESIGNATIONS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING LAND
USES AND ALIGN WITH THE CITY'S POLICIES -- THE COMPREHENSIVE
POLICIES FOR HOUSING.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS.
ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
THANK YOU.
AND APPLICANT?
IF YOU ARE HERE FOR THE PUBLIC, YOU WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
HERE AFTER THE PRESENTATION.
05:45:23PM >> GOOD EVENING, TRUETT GARDNER.
400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
I WANT TO INTRODUCE OUR TEAM.
RACHEL CARDELLA, DAVID FELLOWS, AND ADAM DASKEL,
ANDREW BURNETT WITH KIMLEY-HORN, AND TRANSPORTATION, RANDY COHEN.
RICKY PETERIKA WITH DARK MOSS AND BECKY DUMPHY AND STAN LIFSEY.
BEFORE WE INTRODUCE STAN, STAN IS A LIFE-LONG FRIEND OF MINE,
AND HIS FAMILY HAS A NEAT HISTORY IN ROCKY POINT, AND I
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HEAR FROM STAN FOR A
SECOND.
05:46:06PM >> SURE.
GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
05:46:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
STATE YOUR NAME FIRST.
05:46:11PM >> MY NAME IS STAN LIFSEY AND THE GRANDSON OF JULIAN LIFSEY.
STARTED ASSEMBLING PROPERTY IN ROCKY POINT DRIVE IN THE 60s
AND STARTED DEVELOPING PROPERTIES IN THE 1970s.
WHEN HE FIRST STARTED HIS VENTURE OUT THERE, THERE WAS SHELL
ROAD LEADING OUT TO BARKY THEATRE THAT WAS ON THE SOUTH END.
AND THE NORTH SIDE, THE MAJORITY OF IT WAS SUBMERGED.
UNTIL HE ENDED UP DREDGING -- DREDGING IT UP.
WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY WITH THE REAL ESTATE OUT AT ROCKY
POINT.
WE ARE VERY SELECTIVE IN WHO WE PARTNER WITH.
BECAUSE MY GRANDFATHER HAD A VISION THAT ROCKY POINT BECOME
A VERY VIBRANT COMMUNITY WITH RESTAURANTS, HOTELS,
RESIDENTIAL UNITS, OFFICE BUILDINGS.
AND WHEN WE LOOKED TO PARTNER WITH A DEVELOPER, AS A
CO-DEVELOPER, WE -- WE DO EXHAUSTIVE, YOU KNOW, HOMEWORK.
AND WE FELT WE -- WE EXECUTED VERY WELL ON THE CURRENT
HOTEL.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY HIGH-END, CLASSIC ASSET DELIVERED TO
ROCKY POINT.
EXCUSE ME, PARTNERING WITH AMERICAN LAND VENTURES, I FEEL
LIKE WE WILL DELIVER ANOTHER CLASS ASSET TO ROCKY POINT,
AND ADD TO THE VISION THAT MY GRANDFATHER HAD, YOU KNOW,
BACK IN THE '60s AND '70s.
THANK YOU.
05:47:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
05:47:46PM >> THANKS, STAN.
STAN HAS MADE OUR JOBS A LOT EASIER.
HE HAS BEEN SUCH A GOOD STEWARD, AND HE WENT AROUND AND
CANVASSED ALL OF THE NEIGHBORS, AND I THINK THIS IS ALREADY
PART OF THE RECORD, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE COPIES OF
LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM SIX DIFFERENT SURROUNDING PROPERTY
OWNERS.
ACTUALLY FIVE DIFFERENT AND WEST SHORE ALLIANCE.
05:48:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
JUST TO MAKE SURE WE ARE GOOD.
ANYONE WHO HAS NOT BEEN SWORN IN THAT -- ANYBODY THAT PLAN
ON SPEAKING FOR THE REST NIGHT, IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN SWORN
IN, PLEASE STAND AND RAZE YOUR RIGHT HAND TO BE SWORN IN.
WE GOT ANOTHER ONE.
[SWEARING IN]
05:48:35PM >> I DO.
05:48:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
GO AHEAD.
05:48:39PM >> PERFECT.
WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY OPPOSITION AND WANTED TO BE BRIEF
BUT THOROUGH, BECAUSE IT IS A COMPLEX SITE WITH A LOT MOVING
PARTS.
SO WE WILL BE AS EXPEDIENT AS POSSIBLE AND HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL.
WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU IS KIND OF AN APERTURE PULLED-OUT
AERIAL OF THE AREA.
I THINK WHAT IS INTERESTING HERE IS JUST WHAT IS AROUND IT.
AND WHY THIS REALLY LANDS ITSELF WELL FOR A MIXED USE
DEVELOPMENT, PRIMARILY MULTIFAMILY.
ONE, YOU ARE FIVE MINUTES FROM T.I.A.
TWO, YOU ARE ON -- OR APPROXIMATE TO THE HURRICANE EVACUATION
ROUTE.
AND THREE, LITERALLY NEXT SITE, ONCE YOU PULL OUT TO THE
CAUSEWAY, YOU HAVE NUMEROUS OPTIONS OF WHERE TO GO ON
HIGH-SPEED LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAYS.
YOU CAN GO WEST TO THE BEACHES.
EAST YOU CAN GO NORTH, SOUTH.
TAKES YOU IN ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.
REALLY A GREAT SITE FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.
LITTLE CLOSER LOCATION.
YOU CAN SEE THE MIX OF USES HERE, AND I THINK ONE OF THE
REASONS, ASIDE FROM STAN'S CHARMING PERSONALITY OF WHY THE
SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE GRAVITATED TOWARD THIS IS
THAT IT WILL REALLY BE THE FIRST MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT WITH
LIMITED OFFICE, RETAIL, LARGE RESTAURANT.
SO IT WILL BE REPLACING THE AGE-OLD RUSTY PELICAN.
AND -- BUT THAT IS THE SITE THERE.
AND THEN SAM TOUCHED ON THIS, AND I JUST WANTED TO, AGAIN,
LASTLY, THE PARCEL THAT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN IS WHAT WE
HAVE BEEN REFERRING TO AS THE "THE WETLANDS PARCEL."
SAM MENTIONED IT WILL REMAIN IN ITS KERR KENT STATE.
THE PD PROVIDES THAT.
IT HAS UPLANDS TO IT.
AND SO THEY WILL BE PRESERVED AND DEVELOPMENT WON'T BE
THERE.
AND WE THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO DO THIS AS A MATTER OF
RESILIENCY.
PROVIDES A PLACE FOR WAVE ATTENUATION, AND WE THINK IT IS
GOOD, SOUND PLANNING.
WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO ADDIE TO GO THROUGH A FEW
MORE AND ARTIE SPEAK AND RANDY AS WELL, BUT WE WILL
BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS WE GO.
05:50:52PM >> GOOD EVENING, ADDIE CLARK, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
SO GOING INTO WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING HERE.
SOME THIS IS TRULY A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
MIXED USE RESILIENT PROJECT HERE IN THE WEST SHORE DISTRICT.
SAM MENTIONED THIS.
WE ARE PROPOSING 252 RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
ALL OF WHICH ARE LOCATED AT LEAST 26 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND.
AND WE ARE PROPOSING COMMERCIAL USE ON THE GROUND FLOOR,
WHICH WILL LEAD UP TO THAT RESTAURANT ON THAT NINE-STORY
PARKING GARAGE.
PARKING IS PROVIDED IN THE GARAGE FOR RESIDENTS AND
RESTAURANT PATRONS.
WE ARE PROUD TO PROVIDE ABOUT THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT OF
REQUIRED BICYCLE SPACES.
THOSE ARE WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT BUILDING IT ITSELF.
BUILDING HEIGHTS, WITH FAA AND ACA.
LOOKING AT THE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND DRAFT 2045
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CURRENTLY IN REVIEW, THEMES OF THOSE
RESPECTIVELY ARE PEOPLE, PLACES, NATURAL SPACES, AND LIVE,
GROWTH, THRIVE.
THIS PROJECT WE THINK WEAVES THOSE THEMES TOGETHER PERFECTLY
AS ITS ENTIRE GOAL IS PROVIDING PEOPLE WITH A BEAUTIFUL AND
RESILIENT PLACE TO LIVE, WHILE PRESERVING NATURAL SPACES.
AND THIS IS ALL ABOUT PROMOTING LIVING, GROWING AND THRIVING
IN A TRUE MIXED-USE DISTRICT.
WE ARE HAPPY TO HAVE FINDING OF CONSISTENCY FROM EVERY AGENCY
EXCEPT FOR TRANSPORTATION DUE TO TWO WAIVERS REGARDING
LOADING, WHICH WE WILL GO INTO MORE DETAIL.
ONE GRAND TREE WAIVER BUT NATURAL RESOURCES STAFF FOUND THAT
CONSISTENT DUE TO OUR REASONABLE RECONFIGURATIONS THAT
HIGHWAY SUBMITTED AS WELL AS EXCEED ORGANIZE MEETING ALL
NATURAL RESOURCES REQUIREMENTS.
IN TERMS OF LOADING, TWO SPACES THAT ARE PROVIDED ARE
ACTUALLY LARGER THAN THE SPACE -- THAN THE TWO SPACES THAT
CODE WOULD REQUIRE.
AND THE DEVELOPER HAS EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN CONSTRUCTING
AND OPERATING MULTIFAMILY PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE
STATE.
AND SO THEY ARE COMPETENT AND FRANKLY IN THEIR BEST INTEREST
TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE TWO SPACES ARE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT
FOR BOTH THE MULTIFAMILY AND THE RESTAURANT OPERATIONS.
AND THE WAY THIS IS ENSURED THAT RESIDENTS HAVE TO HAVE
LOADING SPACES BEFORE THEY MOVE IF AND HAVE SOMETHING
SCHEDULED FOR DELIVERY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A VERY TYPICAL RESTAURANT FOOD
DELIVERY TRUCK THAT WE SEE THAT HE COULD SERVE THIS PROJECT
AND FIT ENTIRELY WITHIN THE TWO LOADING SPACES THAT ARE
PROVIDED.
AND THE EXHIBIT ON THE RIGHT SHOW HOW ALL MANEUVERING OF ANY
LARGE TRUCK WILL BE DONE ENTIRELY WITHIN THE SITE AND HAVE
NO OBSTRUCTION TO THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.
AND FINALLY FOR THE RESILIENT BUILDINGS, AS WE KNOW, THOSE
CAN BE FINANCED AND WHAT CAN BE INSURED.
COUNTLESS EXAMPLES OF HOW NEW RESILIENT BUILDINGS IN THE
CITY PROVIDE NECESSARY HOUSING AND SAFE, DEPENDABLE
STRUCTURES IN A STORM.
SOME EXAMPLES OF PROJECTS IN THE CHHA THAT WENT DID WELL,
THE PARK, DOWNTOWN ON THE RIVER, SEASONS ON ROCKY POINT
CLOSE TO THIS PROJECT AS WELL AS EMSON ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE COURTNEY CAMPBELL CAUSEWAY.
I'LL INTRODUCE ARTIE CITRON OF KIMLEY-HORN ON HOW THIS
PLACE IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE IN A SMART AND RESILIENT
WAY.
05:54:08PM >> GOOD EVENING, ARTIE CITRON, KIMLEY-HORN, 201 NORTH
FRANKLIN.
WHAT ADDIE SAID, HE WILL ADD WHAT IS ON YOUR SCREEN.
MAINTAIN STORMWATER WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA REQUIREMENTS
RESULTING IN DISCHARGE LEVELS SIGNIFICANT BELOW DEVELOPMENT
CONDITIONS IN FULL COMPLIANCE OF THE BUILDING CODE.
AND HABITABLE AND MECHANICAL ABOVE THE BASELINE ELEVATION,
SYSTEM WILL BE ENGINEERED TO AVOID COAST ALE WAVE LOADS
UNSEVERE CONDITIONS.
PROJECT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL FREE BOARD ABOVE THE REQUIRED
MINIMUM ELEVATIONS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
WANT TO POINT THAT OUT, BECAUSE THIS IMPORTANCE.
PROVIDES RESILIENCE FOR WAVE RUN-UP, SEA LEVEL RISE AND
EXCEED CURRENT MAP ELEVATIONS.
PARKING AREAS ARE DESIGNED WITH RESILIENCE IN MIND WITH
AT-GRADE AND PARKING AVAILABLE, EVERY RESIDENTIAL UNIT WILL
HAVE ONE VEHICLE SPACE ABOVE THE BASELINE ELEVATION REDUCING
THE LIKELIHOOD OF PERSONAL PROPERTY DAMAGE AND MOBILITY
FOLLOWING FLOOD EVENT.
ONE THING I WANT TO KIND OF ADD IN THE SPIRIT OF RESILIENCE.
DEVELOPMENT MINIMIZES ADVERSE FLOOD PLAIN IMPACTS BY
CONSOLIDATING FOOTPRINT AND PRESERVING THE WETLANDS TO THE
NORTH.
MAINTAINS NATURAL FLOOD STORAGE, REDUCES PLACEMENT OF
FLOODWATERS AND PROMOTES OVERALL COASTAL RESILIENCE.
I'M HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
05:55:41PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
05:55:52PM >> GOOD EVENING, RANDY COHEN, 3121 WEST CYPRESS STREET.
I HAVE BEEN SWORN.
I DID THE TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS FOR REZONING.
AND LAST TO LOOK AT HURRICANE, EVACUATION AND SHELTER SPACE.
PUTTING AWAY SHELTER SPACE TO BEGIN WITH.
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY HAS DONE A GREAT JOB.
OVER 7500 HURRICANE SHELTER SPACES AVAILABLE.
DEMAND CURRENTLY IS ABOUT 57,000 SPACES LEAVING A CAPACITY
OF OVER 18,000 SPACES.
THIS PROJECT GENERATES THE DEMAND FOR LESS THAN 100
SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN 100 PUBLIC SHELTER SPACES.
SO SHELTER IS NOT AN ISSUE.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE HURRICANE EVACUATION.
WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT IS LIKE IN TAMPA THE ISSUE IS HOW MUCH
DOES THIS CONTRIBUTE TO A ROADWAY, IS THAT A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT?
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, THE AMOUNT IS VERY INSIGNIFICANT.
IT IS DE MINIMIS BASED ON THE STUDIES WE DID.
WHY IS THAT?
THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION WOULD HAVE
AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT IMPACT ON HURRICANE EVACUATION.
COURTNEY CAMPBELL CAUSEWAY IS A PRIMARY HURRICANE EVACUATION
ROUT.
SIX-LANE LIMITED ACCESS FREEWAY.
HAS THE CAPACITY ON AN HOURLY BASIS OF OVER 6,000 CARS.
ABOUT A MILE TO THE EAST, YOU MAKE A CHOICE UP THE VETERANS
EXPRESSWAY WHICH IS A EIGHT-LANE STRAY WITH A ONE-HOUR
CAPACITY OF 8500 CARS AN HOUR.
IF YOU PROCEED TO EAST THROUGH THE MEMORIAL INTERCHANGE
TO I-75 AGAIN.
EIGHT-LANE HIGH-CAPACITY FREEWAY WITH OVER 8500 CARS AS A
CAPACITY IN AN ONE-HOUR BASIS.
NOT THAT YOU WILL GET THERE FAST, BUT FROM THIS PARTICULAR
SITE, ONCE YOU GET ON TO THE CAUSEWAY, YOU DO NOT ENCOUNTER
ANOTHER TRAFFIC SIGNAL UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO GET OFF OF THE
EXPRESSWAY AND YOU HAVE THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM, WHICH ARE THE
MAJOR PRIMARY HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTES IN TAMPA.
GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.
05:57:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
05:57:53PM >> TRUETT GARDNER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
THAT'S ALL WE HAVE.
HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND HONOR TO HAVE THE FINDING OF
CONSISTENCY FROM STAFF, AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT IN
THIS.
THANK YOU.
05:58:07PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
05:58:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
JUST -- WHAT ABOUT GENERATOR?
DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS FOR --
05:58:13PM >> YES, SOMEBODY CAN ANSWER THIS FAR BETTER THAN ME, BUT MY
UNDER UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL OF THOSE UTILITIES WILL
ACTUALLY BE ABOVE FIRST FLOOR -- IS THERE AN ACTUAL --
05:58:27PM >> WHERE IS THE MICROPHONE?
05:58:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IT IS EMBEDDED.
05:58:30PM >> RACHEL CARDELLA WITH AMERICAN LAND VENTURES, TIGER TAIL
AVENUE, MIAMI, FLORIDA.
OUR BUILDINGS HAVE EMERGENCY GENERATORS.
THE GENERATORS ARE LOCATED ABOVE FLOOD ALWAYS AS PER THE
FLORIDA BUILDING CODE.
ALL OF THE LIFE SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ON A
GENERATOR.
SO ELEVATORS FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF HOURS.
EMERGENCY LIGHTING ARE REQUIRED TO BE ON THERE.
ANY LIFE SAFETY ELEMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ON GENERATORS.
05:58:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
THANK YOU.
05:59:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS?
VERY GOOD.
ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK ON THE ITEM, LINE UP ON THE WALL.
ONLY ONE, WELCOME.
START WITH YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
05:59:18PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS.
JUSTIN O'BRIEN, 2102 ROCKY POINT DRIVE.
WORK IN THE OFFICE BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
I THINK I CAN SAY FOR MYSELF AND MOST OF US IN THOSE OFFICES
THIS IS A SMART PROJECT.
IT IS A THOUGHTFUL APPROACH TO REVITALIZING AN AREA IN A NEW
AND EXPANDED USE.
I THINK THIS TEAM CAN EXECUTE ON THAT VISION THAT YOU SEE.
AND I THINK THE CURRENT -- THE EXISTING HOTEL THAT IS THERE
IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THAT.
PHENOMENAL.
AND WE ARE ALL EXCITED ABOUT ADDITIONAL RESTAURANT CHOICES
AT THE END OF ROCKY POINT.
SO APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU.
05:59:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
COME ON BOARD.
COME TO THE PODIUM AND START WITH YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE
THREE MINUTES.
06:00:08PM >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY, MY NAME IS AL ASARI.
I WORK IN THE ROCKY POINT AREA.
I WOULD LOVE THIS OPPORTUNITY.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE NEW PROJECTS COMING IN.
IT IS GREAT TO THE AREA.
ONLY CONCERN IS I SEE ON A DAILY BASIS THE SAFETY WHERE IT
COMES TO THE SIDEWALKS BETWEEN THE CAUSEWAY, THE -- ALL THE
WAY TO THE SOUTH OF THE PROJECT.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY SIDEWALKS OVER THERE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS.
I WORK IN THE HOTEL -- FOR NOT HAVING A SIDEWALK FROM EITHER
SIDE.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS SOMETIMES COMBINED WITH THIS
PROJECT OR IN THE FUTURE.
JUST A SAFETY CONCERN.
MY COLLEAGUES FROM OTHER HOTELS, THEY HAVE THE SAME
CONCERNS.
I JUST WANT TO BRING THIS UP.
I AM NOT AGAINST THIS PROJECT.
I SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
BUT WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE SIDEWALKS OVER THERE.
06:00:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM.
APPLICANT, WOULD YOU LIKE A REBUTTAL?
06:01:08PM >> JUST ONE THING ON THE SIDEWALK ISSUE.
WE DO HAVE A BONUS PAYMENT OF $2.9 MILLION ON THIS.
AND WE ACTUALLY HAD A PLAN TO DO A SIDEWALK ALL THE
WAY FROM THIS SITE TO COURTNEY CAMPBELL LINKING IN WITH
THOSE NEW BIKE PATHS THAT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED.
AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IS NOT A PROJECT THAT IS QUALIFIABLE.
WE WOULD LOVE TO FURTHER PURSUE THAT.
AND SHOULD THIS BE SUCCESSFUL, PERHAPS WE CAN REACH OUT AND
THEN AMEND THAT BONUS AGREEMENT TO INCLUDE IT.
WHEN IN SPEAKING WITH WEST SHORE ALLIANCE, THERE WAS A
PEDESTRIAN FATALITY IN THIS AREA AND SOMETHING THEY REALLY
WANTED TO SEE AND SOMETHING WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO PROVIDE.
SO WE ARE 100% OPEN TO THAT.
AND WOULD LOVE TO FURTHER PURSUE IT.
06:01:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
STAFF HAVE ANY CLARIFICATION ON THAT?
06:02:02PM >>SAMUEL THOMAS:
SAM THOMAS, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
TRUETT HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.
SOMETHING THEY WERE PURSUING.
MY UNDERSTANDING PUTTING A SIDEWALK ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF
ROCKY POINT DRIVE WOULD HAVE REQUIRED A VARIANCE TO THE
WETLAND BUFFER WHICH IS WHY LEGAL IS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF USING
THAT AS A METHOD FOR THE BONUS.
06:02:24PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHERE IS LEGAL?
WERE YOU ALL INVOLVED IN THAT DISCUSSION?
06:02:36PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL
DEPARTMENT.
WE NEGOTIATE BONUS AGREEMENTS.
I WASN'T PERSONALLY INVOLVED IN THE NEXT OF THIS ONE.

AND 27 CASES AND IN THE WEST SHORE PALMS NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED
DEVELOPMENTS TO BE DESIGNED TO INCLUDE OR INSTALLATION
OF THE FRONT DOOR TO A NEIGHBORHOOD, SIDEWALK OR STREET.
PROPOSED PD PROPOSES A FRONT DOOR FACING WEST FIG STREET
WITH A SIDEWALK ELECTION.
UNITS 1-4 HAVE A FRONT DOOR FACING, A SIDEWALK CONNECTING
WEST FIG, MEETING THE INTENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EVEN
THOUGH THE INTENTION HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR VEHICULAR AND
PEDESTRIAN CONFLICT WITH CARS BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGES

CHARACTER OF SURROUNDING AREA.

SEE ON THE DIAGRAM HERE.
SO THERE WON'T BE TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH BACK AND FORTH IN
PER THE SITE PLAN.
WHAT I CAN SHOW YOU -- AND THIS IS ADDING A LITTLE COLOR, IF

EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS IS IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, THE CHANNEL
DISTRICT, URBAN VILLAGE, THE CHANNEL DISTRICT NEIGHBORHOOD.
COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA IN EVACUATION ZONE A.
SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED HERE WITH THE REGIONAL MIXED USE
DESIGNATION WHICH PROVIDES FOR HIGH INTENSITY, DENSITY,
RESIDENTIAL AND REGIONAL SERVING COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
RMU-100 DESIGNATION TO THE NORTH, EAST AND TO THE SOUTH OF
THE SUBJECT SITE.
AND TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS THE CENTRAL BUSINESS
DISTRICT FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
SUBJECT SITE WITHIN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT PERIPHERY
AND THE APPLICANT IS UTILIZING THE BONUS TO ACHIEVE THE
ADDITIONAL DENSITY.
THEY ARE PROPOSING A 7.0 F.A.R.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THAT THE USES ARE CONSISTENT
WITH THE DEVELOPMENT.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REQUIRES MIXED USE RETAIL, SERVICE
AND OTHER PEDESTRIAN, ORIENTED USE ALONG MIXED USE CORRIDORS
TO BE ORIENTED TO THE STREET BY PLACING THEM TOWARD THE
FRONT OF PROPERTIES WITH ENTRIES FRONTING THE STREET.
THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL PROVIDE FOR PEDESTRIAN
ENTRANCES ALONG MERIDIAN AVENUE FOR THE NEW MIXED USE
BUILDING WHILE THE EXISTING ONE IS NOT CHANGING.
THE STRUCTURED PARKING GARAGE HAS BEEN ARCHITECTURALLY
INTEGRATED INTO THE DESIGN AS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
PROMOTES.
OVERALL, PROPOSED PD IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE
SURROUNDING URBAN CONTEXT AN CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE VISION
AND DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ENCOURAGED UNDER THE REGIONALITY
MIXED USE 100 LAND USE DESIGNATION AND THAT CONCLUDES MY
PRESENTATION UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
06:39:47PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY QUESTIONS?
THANK YOU, APPLICANT.
06:39:49PM >> EVENING, COUNCIL.
TYLER HUDSON, IV00 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
HERE WHAT WAS ALREADY A VERY SHORT PRESENTATION.
JOINED HERE BY JB McKIBBON.
THE PRESIDENT OF McKIBBON HOSPITALITY.
PROPERTY OWNER.
ONE SECOND, GET THE -- WE HAVE EXPERTS AVAILABLE, NOT QUITE
AS MANY AS MY PARTNER TRUETT BROUGHT.
06:40:19PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES FOR SEATS.
06:40:23PM >> I AM NOT GOING TO REPEAT STEPHANIE'S THOROUGH
PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE IS ASKING FOR THAT; HOWEVER, THIS
PROJECT DOES HAVE A BIT OF HISTORY THAT I THINK IS WORTH
EXPLAINING.
I THINK THREE OF YOU -- I BELIEVE COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA,
MANISCALCO AND VIERA WERE HERE IN 2018 WHEN THIS WAS BROUGHT
FORWARD AS A MIXED USE SELF-STORAGE APARTMENT PROJECT.
IT WAS NOT PARTICULARLY POPULAR EITHER WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD
OR THIS COUNCIL.
IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY DENIED, LITIGATED, MEDIATED, APPROVED AS
A SETTLEMENT.
IN 2021, THE MULTIFAMILY PARCEL SOLD AND DEVELOPED AND
OPENED UP LAST YEAR.
101 MERIDIAN.
A GREAT-LOOKING PROJECT.
STORAGE PARCEL HAS TRADED OWNERSHIP THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
FORTUNATELY FOUND THE McKIBBON HOSPITALITY FOLKS AND JB
WILL INTRODUCE HIMSELF.
FIRST TIME HERE AT TAMPA CITY COUNCIL.
THEY TYPICALLY BUY EXISTING HOTELS BUT EXCITED OF THIS
OPPORTUNITY.
THAT IS REALLY ALL WE HAVE.
WE DON'T WANT TO SPIKE THE FOOTBALL ON THE ONE-YARD LINE.
WE HAVE FULL CONSISTENCY, WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT EASIER
TO DO IN THE DISTRICT.
DESIGN STANDARDS ARE A LITTLE MORE RELAXED FOR URBAN
DEVELOPMENT.
GREAT WORKING WITH STAFF.
J.B. WORKED THE CHANNEL DISTRICT AND THE PROJECT.
NOT AWARE OF ANY OBJECTIONS OR ANY FOLKS THAT ARE MOURNING
THE LOSS THE STORAGE ENTITLEMENT HERE.
WITH THAT I WILL TURN THINGS OVER TO J.B. TO TALK ABOUT HIS
COMPANY, HIMSELF, AND THAT'S IT.
06:41:52PM >> EVENING, COUNCIL.
J.B. McKIBBON, PRESIDENT OF McKINBON.
AT 39-YEAR-OLD FAMILY BUSINESS.
WE HAVE BEEN IN THE TAMPA PAY MARK FOR 30 YEARS AND
DEVELOPED FOUR PROJECTS.
AND THE FIRST DEVELOPMENT, THE HIGH HOUSE IN WEST SHORE THAT
DEVELOPED IN 2021.
WE MANAGED FOUR ASSETS IN DOWNTOWN TODAY.
WE BUILT THE COURTYARD AND THE RESIDENCE INN.
WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BUILD A NEW PROJECT IN DOWNTOWN AND
EXCITED FOR OUR OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE OUR LITTLE TAKE, YOU
KNOW, OF THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN TAMPA AND THE SKYLINE AND
DELIVER A PROJECT THAT THE OF EVERYBODY CAN BE PROUD YOU
HAVE AND THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOVES.
THANK YOU.
06:42:48PM >> THAT'S ALL WE GOT.

THE APPLICANT INTENDS TOO SPLIT THE LOT INTO THREE PARCELS.
FRONTAGE OF THE LOT IS PROPOSED A LONGEST CRENSHAW HERE.
THIS IS GOING TO BE NORTH HUTTON AND EAST CRENSHAW.
NEXT, AN AERIAL REVIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE
SURROUNDING AREA.
SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED OFF OF NORTH HUTTON WHICH IS
RIGHT HERE.
SUBJECT SITE ON THE NORTHWEST SITE OF EAST CRENSHAW AND
NORTH HUTTON PLACE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN
CHARACTERIZED BY SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED USES TO THE NORTH,
SOUTH, WEST AND EAST.

AS IT MOVES EAST AND CLOSER TO 40th STREET WHERE IT TURNS
INTO A MORE COMMERCIAL AREA.
GIVEN THE USE OF USES IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA AND THE SUBJECT
BLOCK, REQUESTED RS-50 IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT

NEXT, WE WILL PUT UP THE CONFORMING MAP.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS A PART OF THE TEMPLE CREST UNIT NUMBER 3

41% OF THE PARCELS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH A WIDTH OF 60

WHILE THERE ARE A VARIETY OF LOT SIZES WITHIN THE VICINITY
OF THE SUBJECT SITE, STAFF FIND THE PROPOSED REQUEST
CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE
OVERALL STUDY AREA.
SINCE THIS IS AN EUCLIDIAN ZONING, NO SITE PLAN OR

PROPERTIES WERE BRINGING TO THE AREA.
WE HAVE SINCE REMODELED HOUSES, DEMOLISHED SOME OF THE HOUSES,
AND REBUILT SIX TO SEVEN OF THE HOUSES.
THESE ARE ONE OF THE PARCELS THAT STILL NEED TO BE DONE.
I GET A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM THE NEIGHBORS, BECAUSE IT IS
STILL VERY FORESTED, BUT WE KNOW WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING
WITH THE TREES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT UNTIL WE BRING SOME
DEVELOPMENT OR PROPOSE SOME DEVELOPMENTS.
SOME THAT IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO DO.
WE ARE TRYING TO BRING SOME NEW CONSTRUCTION TO THE AREA.
WE HAVE DONE PLANNING IN THIS AREA AS WELL, SEMINOLE HEIGHTS
AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

FOR THE BACK-UP DISTANCE REQUIRED TO THE ALLEY, BY PROVIDING
THE TWO TANDEM SPOTS.

BE DESIGNED WITH FRONT DOORS ORIENTED TOWARD NEIGHBORHOOD
SIDEWALKS AND STREETS.

ON THE DESIGN OF THE SITE PLAN TO ADDRESS PARKING
CONCERN GIVEN THE NUMBER OF PARKING.
THE APPLICANT ELIMINATED A UNIT PROPOSING THREE UNITS,
INSTEAD OF FOUR, THEREFORE ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR A PARKING
WAIVER.
HERE WE HAVE AN AREA OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE SURROUNDING
AREA.
THE SUBJECT PARCEL IS OUTLINED IN RED HERE.

THIS IS THE AREA THAT WAS A SEPARATE UNIT, AND IS NO LONGER
A SEPARATE UNIT.
NEXT WE WILL SHOW THE ELEVATIONS.
THIS IS THE EXISTING HOME ON LOT ONE.
SO THE EAST ELEVATION, THE WEST ELEVATION, THE NORTH
ELEVATION, AND THE SOUTH ELEVATION.
AND THEN THIS IS THAT OTHER DETACHED EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY

LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
THERE ARE NO WAIVERS AS PART OF THIS REQUEST.
IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVALS THE ACTION, MODIFICATIONS TO THE
SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET MUST BE
COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING.
I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
07:22:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
APPLICANT -- SORRY, PLANNING COMMISSION.
I AM TRYING TO GET US OUT OF HERE, MAN.
07:22:22PM >>EMILY PHELAN:
BEFORE I BEGIN, I DO HAVE A REVISED STAFF
REPORT THAT REFLECTS THE CHANGE IN THE UNIT COUNT THAT
STEPHANIE MENTIONED EARLIER.
IT HAS BEEN UPDATED ON TOP ON-BASE, BUT I HAVE A HARD COPY AS
WELL.
EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
THIS IS IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, HYDE PARK
NATIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT, SOHO NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVACUATION
ZONE C.
SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED IN THE RESIDENTIAL-35 DESIGNATION
THAT SURROUND THE SUBJECT SITE ON ALL SIDES.
MOVING FURTHER NORTH ALONG WEST PLATT IS THE COMMUNITY MIXED

THIS PORTION OF SOUTH MELVILLE AVENUE BETWEEN WEST PLATT
STREET AND WEAPONS HORATIO STREET, EXCLUDING THE SUBJECT
SITE AND ONLY INCLUDING THE RESIDENTIAL-35 DESIGNATED
PARCELS EXISTING DENSITY OF 18.74 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.
PROPOSED THREE UNITS WILL BE DEVELOP AT 12.5 UNITS PER ACRE
WHICH IS BELOW THE DENSITY ALONG THE SEGMENT OF SOUTH
MELVILLE AVENUE AND CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY UNDER THE
RESIDENTIAL-35 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION.
REQUEST SUPPORTS THE CITY OF'S HOUSING POLICY BUSINESS ADD
ADDITIONAL HOUSING IN THE SOHO NEIGHBORHOOD AND PROVIDE
INFIELD DEVELOPMENT ON AN UNDERUTILIZED LOT.
WHILE THE REQUEST ALLIANCE TO SEVERAL POLICIES OUTLINED IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE, IT DOES NOT FULLY REFLECT THE POLICIES OF
VEHICULAR ACCESS FROM ALLEYS.
REQUEST INCLUDES ACCESS FOR THE NORTH PERSON WITH HOME AND
THE SOUTHWESTERN ATTACHED GARAGE IS NOT PROPOSED TO HAVE
ALLEY ACCESS.
VEHICULAR ACCESS ALLEY WHERE FEASIBLE.
THE APPLICANT COULD UTILIZE THE SITE PLAN FOR THE ALLEY AND
ADDITIONAL BACK-UP SPACE MAY BE WANTED AND BETTER ALIGN TO
COMPREHENSIVE POLICIES SURROUNDING ALLEY ACCESS AND
BETTER DESIGN AND THE FORM AND FUNCTION WITHIN THE HYDE PARK
DISTRICT.
OVERALL THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS ADDRESSED THIS, THE
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE APPLICANT RECONSIDER THE
VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE GARAGE FROM THE ALLEY THE
SOUTHWESTERN GARAGE.
AND IF APPROVED, THAT SHOULD BE MADE BETWEEN FIRST AND
SECOND READING, BUT OVERALL IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
OVERALL ELECTION OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
AND THAT INCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
07:24:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY QUESTIONS?
APPLICANT?
07:25:05PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, STEVE MICHELINI REPRESENTING THE
PETITIONER HERE.
LET ME SHOW YOU, FIRST OF ALL -- LET ME GIVE YOU AN
ORIENTATION REGARDING THE SITE.
THIS IS THE AERIAL THE PROPERTY -- THE SUBJECT PROPERTY HERE
AND THE VACANT LOT HERE.
CURRENTLY ZONED FOR FOUR TOWNHOUSES.
THEY ARE PROPOSING TO ABANDON THAT PROJECT AND SAVE THIS
BUNGALOW WITH THE EXISTING OTHER ADDITIONAL STRUCTURE IN THE
REAR.
THE STAFF HAS POINTED OUT TO YOU, THIS IS THE -- THIS IS THE
SITE VIEW LOOKING TO THE -- LOOKING TO THE SOUTH.
THIS IS LOOKING TO THE EAST.
AND THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY OVER HERE ON THE -- ON THE
EAST SIDE.
THIS IS EXISTING -- OUR PROPOSED SITE PLAN.
THIS IS THE BUNGALOW THAT HE JUST SHOWED YOU BEING RETAINED
WHICH MAINTAINS THE HISTORIC CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THIS EXISTING STRUCTURE IN THE REAR WHICH WILL ALSO BE
RETAINED.
THE PROPOSED NEW STRUCTURE HERE, AND THIS WAS ALL SUPPOSED TO
BE REDEVELOPED INTO A FOUR TOWN HOUSE PROJECT.
THE GARAGE IS HERE.
AND I KNOW THE STAFF -- PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAD
POINTED OUT TO TRY TO RE-ORIENT IN.
HOWEVER, IF YOU REORIENT YOU LOSE THE GREEN SPACE FOR EACH
OF THE OPPORTUNITIES.
IT DOESN'T AFFECT THIS SIDE BUT DOES AFFECT THIS SIDE.
AND -- ONE WHICH IS OVER HERE, WE RETAINED 1828 SQUARE
FEET OF GREEN SPACE WHEN 1545 SQUARE FEET IS REQUIRED.
AND THE SAME IS -- IS HERE FOR THIS SIDE.
IT IS REQUIRED AND 2700 SQUARE FEET.
THIS IS RESIDENTIAL-35 THAT YOU CAN BUILD -- IF YOU MEET THE
OTHER CRITERIA YOU
CAN BUILD EIGHT UNITS.
NO WAIVERS REQUESTED AND WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO WAIVE
ANYTHING OF THE SITE.
WE HAVE NINE LETTERS OF SUPPORT THAT I WILL READ INTO THE
RECORD.
AND EACH ACCOUNT FOR THE NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST
PROPERTY OWNERS ADJACENT TO THIS SITE.
GARAGE IS 20 X 24 WITH THE GARBAGE COLLECTION BEING DETAINED
INSIDE AND NOTED THAT THE GARBAGE WILL BE RETAINED INSIDE.
AND THE COUNCIL HAD DISCUSSED WITH US AT THE LAST MEETING
THAT WE HAVE SHOULD REVISIT THIS, EXPECT NUMBER OF UNITS
BEING PROPOSED, AND ADDRESS THE CONCERNS AGAIN THE NUMBER OF
UNITS AND WAIVERS BEING PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED.
AT THE PUBLIC HEARING THE APPLICANT WAS ASKED TO WORK
WITH THE DESIGN AND THE NUMBER OF UNITS.
WE HAVE DONE THAT AND ELIMINATED THE NEED FOR A PARKING
WAIVER.
THIS RETAINS EXISTING HISTORIC CHARACTER OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
PLANS TO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT A SPECULATION TYPE
OF DEVELOPMENT AT ALL.
WITH RESPECT TO THE JUSTICE CRITERIA ESTABLISHED BY THE
PLANNING COMMISSION, WE MEET ALL OF THE CRITERIA EXCEPT FOR
THE RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE ACCESS.
I SHOWED YOU THE PICTURE THAT EVERY PROPERTY ONLY THE STREET
EXITS OFF OF AZEELE AND NOT OFF OF THE ALLEY.
WE WILL MAINTAIN THE ALLEY ACCESS FOR THE UNIT; HOWEVER, IF
WE -- WE HAVE A HARDSHIP WITH THIS.
LOOK AT A REPORT FROM THE CITY STAFF, IT HAS BEEN
CONSISTENT BY TRANSPORTATION.
WITH RESPECT TO THE TECHNICAL STANDARDS WE --
OF THAT CRITERIA GO THROUGH THE STAFF REPORT AGAIN, WE
MEET GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
WE MEET THE SITE OF NINE UNITS WITH A BONUS, BUT WE ARE
REQUESTING THREE WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN
INTENSITY DENSITY AND WE HAVE GONE A LONG WAY OF WHAT WAS
ESTABLISHED BY CITY COUNCIL.
I AM HAPPY TO ENTER THESE LETTERS OF SUPPORT.
WITH RESPECT FOR THE CRITERIA OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
PROMOTES THE SIGNIFICANT AND SUSTAINABILITY OF LAND AND
INFRASTRUCTURE.
NOT ONLY ARE WE RETAIN TWO UNITS, WE ARE ADDING ONE UNIT
WHEN WE COULD ADD EIGHT.
ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHANGING NEEDS IN TECHNOLOGY.
THE PROPOSED USES OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED FOR
REDEVELOPMENT OF VACANT PORTIONS IS CONSISTENT WITH A PLAN
AND CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.
ENCOURAGE FLEXIBLE DEVELOPMENT.
UNIQUE IN THE FACT WE ARE RETAINING TWO UNITS AND REQUESTING
THE ADDITION OF ONE.
PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT OF AN APPROPRIATE
LOCATION.
WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TO DO SOMETHING THAT IS
COMPATIBLE AND CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AS
WELL AS THE HISTORIC NATURE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
PROMOTE THE DESIRABLE LIVING CONDITIONS.
THE OWNER PLANS TO LIVE IN THE NEW UNIT.
AND MAINTAIN THAT AS HIS OWN RESIDENCE.
AND THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS AS A -- AS ESTABLISHED BY
THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
WE WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT.
I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, BUT REQUEST THAT
YOU HAVE THE STAFF REPORT BEING MADE PART OF THE RECORD.

07:31:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM GOING TO GO ON RECORD SAYING THAT I AM
DISAPPOINTED THAT WE CAN'T HAVE THE OTHER ADDITIONAL SPACE

CASE, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ASK A REPRESENTATIVE
FROM T.H.A.N., THE UMBRELLA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION TO BE
ON THE EXPERT LIST.
SOME THAT THEY ARE SPEAKING OTHER THAN JUST IN PUBLIC
COMMENT.
07:36:41PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.
I WOULD HAVE TO DEFER TO LEGAL STAFF.
USUAL.
07:36:51PM >>BILL CARLSON:
USUALLY THE CHAIR MAKES THAT DECISION.
07:36:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THING IS THIS A TRANSMITTAL HEARING.
WE WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND THE STAFF
-- HOW THIS WILL WORK, THE STAFF -- THE PLANNING COMMISSION
WILL PROVIDE THE PRESENTATION.
AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO HAVE -- NORMALLY IN A WORKSHOP.
WE HAVE A WORKSHOP AND TRANSMITTAL HEARING.
WHAT MY PLAN IS, TO COMBINE THEM BOTH SO PEOPLE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT.
BECAUSE WORKSHOP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT -- WE CAN MOVE THEM BOTH
TOGETHER AS ONE MEETING.
AND THEY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, BUT, I MEAN, UNLESS
COUNCIL DURING THAT MEETING WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION TO GIVE
SOME PUBLIC COMMENT TIME.
07:37:31PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I DON'T THINK WE ARE GOING TO GET TO -- I
DON'T THINK WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TRANSMIT.
THE NEW VERSION CAME OUT TODAY.
AND IT -- IT WILL BE DISCUSSED.
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GOING TO A LOT OF THE SAME MEETINGS I
HAVE BEEN TO.
THERE IS A LOT OF EDITING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
07:37:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I DON'T THINK IT IS APPROPRIATE AND A ROLE
IN THAT HEARING FOR AN OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION.
07:37:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I ALSO BELIEVE -- ALWAYS TRUE IF WE ASK THE
QUESTION OF SOMEONE, THEY CAN COME AND ANSWER IT.
SOME WE CAN ASK A QUESTION OF ANYONE IN THE ROOM.
SO I THINK THAT IF WE WANTED TO HEAR, ONE --
SIMPLY ASK QUESTIONS.
THAT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE.
07:38:14PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I THINK WE CAN TO IT BY VOTE OF COUNCIL.
YOU KNOW, THE -- I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO A LOT OF DETAIL ON
IT.
07:38:21PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
JUST A THING AND A REMINDER WHAT YOU ARE GOING
TO BE TAKING UP IS THE WORKSHOP.
AND THAT IS CERTAINLY LEGISLATIVE IN ITS FUNCTION AND SO IS
THE TRANSMITTAL HEARING.
WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE DUE PROCESS.
WE HAVE TO BE FAIRNESS AND CONSISTENCY.
BUT THE QUESTION IS, IT IS ULTIMATELY YOUR DECISION HOW YOU
WANT TO CONDUCT YOUR WORKSHOP.
07:38:51PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I WILL DROP THAT.
BUT I WILL SAY THE PLANNING COMMISSION -- THE STAFF ARE ALL
GREAT PEOPLE.
THEY HAD AN EARFUL THE LAST FEW WEEKS AS WE HAVE.
BETWEEN THE TIME WE BRIEF THEM AND THE TIME THAT THE -- THE
PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED THE SECOND VERSION -- THE
VERSION WE GOT, THERE WERE RADICAL CHANGES.
AND -- AND I DON'T KNOW WHO ASKED FOR -- THE
BUILDINGS.
AND STEP BACK AND LOOK AT IT OBJECTIVELY.
AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN TAKING A
HOST OF LEAD, PUTTING EVENTS TOGETHER INCLUDING THAT
MORNING, WHICH YOU ARE ALL ARE INVITED TO ATTEND.
WE ARE ALL APPROVING.
MANY OF US ARE IN NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS WHERE THIS
IS BEING DISCUSSED.
IF ANY OF US WANT TO SAY ANYTHING, WE WALK OUT OF THE ROOM
IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE WITNESSES.
I WOULD LIKE PEOPLE KNOW THEY ARE DECIDED.
NEXT, WHICH HAVE ISSUES OF PEOPLE WHOSE HOUSES FLOODED AND
THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING -- GETTING THE PERMITS
FOR THEIR HOMES.
BECAUSE OF DIFFICULTIES THEY HAD GETTING VARIOUS PERMITS.
WE CHANGED THE SIDEWALK IN LIEU FEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
PROCESS.
STAFF SAID THEY CAN MAKE EXCEPTIONS AND WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN
RECENT E-MAIL IS, THEY WILL RATHER US MAKE A
DECISION TO MAKE A WAIVER ON THAT.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO PUT AN ITEM ON THE
WORKSHOP ON OCTOBER 30 TO DISCUSS WAIVING THE IN LIEU FEE OR
AT LEAST THE INCREASE FOR PEOPLE WHOSE HOMES WERE FLOODED
IN THE STORMS A YEAR AGO.
07:40:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM -- I DON'T HAVE A
SECOND YET.
07:40:55PM >>LUIS VIERA:
SECOND.
07:40:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND A
SECOND --
07:41:00PM >> AGAINST THAT BECAUSE INDIVIDUALS WHO MIGHT
HAVE --
THEY CAN'T PUT A SIDEWALK AND THE CITY WOULDN'T PUT
PEOPLE OVER IT.
SO I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT VOTED AGAINST THAT, I BELIEVE.
IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE THE CITY IS PROVIDING SOMETHING THAT GOT
NO BENEFIT, ZERO, BECAUSE THEIR MONEY IS GOING TO SOMEBODY
ELSE TO BUILD A SIDEWALK.
THAT IS WHY I WAS AGAINST THAT.
I'M NOT AGAINST THE SIDEWALK.
AND LET'S DO SOMETHING ELSE.
I AM THINKING OF THAT IMPORTANT INDIVIDUAL WHOEVER HE OR SHE
MAY BE.
WHOEVER THAT POOR INDIVIDUAL, AND I KNOW IT IS.
A LOT OF DITCHES IN TAMPA AND A LOT OF DITCHES IN EVERY
DISTRICT IN THE CITY.
A LOT OF TREES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WHERE THEY
WILL NOT BUILD A SIDEWALK.
CHARGE YOU FOR IT AND GET THE MONEY IS SOMEBODY ELSE.
IN MY WORLD THAT LIVE IN, YOU PUT THE MONEY TO BE SOMETHING
THAT YOU GET BENEFIT FROM.
THEY DON'T GET NO BENEFIT --
07:42:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE ARE KIND OF ARGUING THE POINT.
THIS IS ABOUT BRINGING UP TO THE OCTOBER.
A MOTION ON THE FLOOR OF COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND SECOND BY
COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA.
NOT THE ISSUE ITSELF.
07:42:19PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
QUESTION.
THIS IS A COUNCIL DISCUSSION OR ASKING THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
07:42:24PM >>BILL CARLSON:
JUST A COUNCIL DISCUSSION.
07:42:27PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
AND YOU ARE ASKING ME OF WAIVING FEES.
07:42:31PM >>BILL CARLSON:
IF YOU THINK THAT YOU INVITE THE LEGAL
DEPARTMENT.
07:42:35PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
I RECOMMEND THAT IN CASE IT RUNS AFOUL.
I DON'T KNOW THERE IT DOES OR DOES NOT.
07:42:41PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I AM SUGGESTING THAT WE TALK ABOUT IN
REFERENCE OF PEOPLE WHOSE HOUSES WERE FLOODED IN HELENE AND
MILTON.
07:42:49PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WELL, I WOULD RECOMMEND -- IF YOU WOULD
LIKE, WE CAN TALK OFF-LINE WITH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT
BEFOREHAND, BUT I BELIEVE MY SENSE IT IF IT REQUIRES --
07:43:05PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I WANT TO DISCUSS.
07:43:07PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SINCE WE HAVE TIME AND STILL CAN PLACE
THIS ON AGENDA.
FLESH THAT OUT WHO NEEDS TO BE THERE AND BRING THAT MOTION
BACK.
07:43:15PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WE CAN ALWAYS WORK ON THAT BEHIND SCENE.
I JUST WANT TO PUT IT ON THE --
07:43:20PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA TO PLACE IT ON THE WORKSHOP.
07:43:31PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IS THERE A REASON IT HAS TO BE ON THE WORKSHOP?
07:43:33PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I WOULD RATHER DO IT NEXT WEEK TO HELP
PEOPLE OUT.
BUT NO SPACE BEFORE THEN.
07:43:38PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ABILITY IS A WAYS AWAY.
07:43:48PM >>LUIS VIERA:
IF I MAY, IF IT IS SOMETHING THAT HELPS PEOPLE
OUT AND PROMISE IT IS NO MORE THAN TEN MINUTES, I WOULD BE
ALL FOR WAIVING A RULE ON --
07:43:57PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
FIND A DATE, MAGICIAN HURTAK.
07:43:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SEPTEMBER 18, WE ONLY HAVE THREE STAFF
REPORTS.
07:44:05PM >>BILL CARLSON:
SEPTEMBER 18.
07:44:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CHANGE THE MOTION TO ADD TO SEPTEMBER 18
STAFF REPORT AND ASK FOR LEGAL OPINION ON THAT AS WELL?
7:45:01PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THE MOTION IS TO ADD TO SEPTEMBER 18 AGENDA, A CITY COUNCIL
DISCUSSION WITH LEGAL OR STAFF SUPPORT ON WHETHER OR HOW TO
WAIVE THE IN LIEU OF FEE FOR HURRICANE VICTIMS FROM A YEAR
AGO.
7:45:19PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA --
SORRY, MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
7:45:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WOULD JUST SAY IT WOULD REALLY BE AWESOME
IF YOU COULD GET ALL OF THAT DONE IN THE BACKGROUND, LIKE
TALK TO LEGAL.
TRY TO FLESH IT OUT SO THEY CAN COME WITH AN ORDINANCE OR
WHATEVER THEY NEED, BECAUSE THAT WAY WE CAN JUST MOVE.
THE FASTER -- I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
I WANT TO MOVE SO WE CAN HELP PEOPLE.
7:45:47PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WHAT HAPPENED, I SAW THE STAFF RESPONSE HAVE
CHANGED NOW.
I THINK THEY NEED A CLEAR YES OR NO SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO --

7:45:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT.
7:45:57PM >>BILL CARLSON:
ONE LAST THING, LAST WEEK WHEN WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT STORMWATER, I MENTIONED THAT SIX MONTHS AGO OR
SO AT STAFF'S SUGGESTION, I WENT OUT TO MEET SOME OF THE
STORMWATER WORKERS OUT IN THE FIELD AND THANK THEM.
PERSONALLY TOOK DRINKS TO THEM AND OTHER THINGS TO THANK
THEM FOR THEIR WORK IN THE FIELD.
THEN AFTER THAT DISCUSSION, I SUGGESTED THAT MAYBE ONCE THE
SUMMER IS DONE, THAT WE PASS A COMMENDATION TO THANK ALL THE
STORMWATER WORKERS WHO HAVE BEEN OUT IN THE FIELD WORKING
LONG HOURS IN HOT AND SWEATY TIME.
SUBSEQUENT TO THAT, THE MAYOR SENT A DEFAMATORY E-MAIL ABOUT
ME SAYING THAT I HAD SOMEHOW CRITICIZED THE MOBILITY PEOPLE,
SUGGESTING A COMMENDATION IS CRITICIZING THE STORMWATER
PEOPLE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS.
SO I WOULD JUST -- I'M SPEAKING TO MY ATTORNEYS BECAUSE I'M
FRANKLY TIRED OF THE DEFAMATION COMING FROM THE MAYOR'S
OFFICE.
I WOULD REMIND THE MAYOR THAT THERE WERE TWO NEGATIVE
CAMPAIGNS RUN AGAINST ME, BOTH OF THEM FAILED.
THE NEXT ONE WILL FAIL TOO.
I WOULD REMIND HER AND HER COLLEAGUES OF FLORIDA STATUTES

AND LAWS AND ETHICS RULES, INCLUDING FLORIDA STATUTE 104.31
WHICH PROHIBITS USE OF STAFF TIME FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.
WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND WORK TO HELP THIS CITY.
OUR CONSTITUENTS WANT US TO HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEMS IN THE
CITY.
THEY DON'T WANT PETTY POLITICS.
THE PUBLIC IS TIRED OF IT.
I WOULD ASK THE MAYOR AGAIN TO STOP.
THANK YOU.
7:47:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN VIERA.
7:47:27PM >>LUIS VIERA:
I HAVE ONE, IF I MAY.
DID EVERYBODY GET MY MEMO ON GABE HASSAN?
ANYBODY NEED IT?
JUST MAKING SURE.
I MOTION CONSISTENT WITH THAT ON SEPTEMBER 18 TO HAVE A
STAFF REPORT ON A PLAQUE TO BE PLACED AT A PARK BENCH ON THE
LATE GABE HASSAN, A 17-YEAR-OLD TEENAGER IN NEW TAMPA WHO
PASSED ON FROM SHWACHMAN-DIAMOND SYNDROME WHICH CAUSES A
LACK OF PROTEIN, IMMUNE SYSTEM DEFICIENCIES, BONE MARROW.
SEVEN LEG SURGERIES OVER A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD FROM THE TIME HE
WAS 12 TO 17.
IN THE HOSPITAL, HE WOULD GET HIS DIPLOMA FROM WHARTON HIGH
SCHOOL WITH 4.7 GPA AS WELL AS HIS EAGLE SCOUT COMMENDATION
AND PASS ON A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER.
HIS PARENTS ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE.

AND ALWAYS DO A BLOOD DRIVE AT THE MOSQUE ON HIS BIRTHDAY.
HIS PARENTS WILL BE COMING THAT DAY.
THAT'S MY MOTION.
7:48:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
7:48:36PM >> [INAUDIBLE]
7:48:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
7:48:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
A REQUEST BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION SETTING
ADOPTION HEARINGS FOR TA/CPA 25-14, TA/CPA 25-15, TA/CPA
25-16, AND TA/CPA 24-17.
I THINK IT MEANS 25-17.
YEAH, PROBABLY 25-17, ON JANUARY 29, 2026 AT 5:01 P.M. AND
DIRECT THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE THE CITY CLERK WITH A
FORM OF NOTICE FOR ADVERTISING PUBLIC HEARING.
7:49:20PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
I'M NOT SURE I WOULD ASSUME IT'S 25
JUST BECAUSE THE OTHER ONES WERE 25.
BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME THAT HAVE MULTIPLE CONTINUANCES.
7:49:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
24-17.
IF WE NEED A SCRIVENER'S ERROR, WE CAN DO A SCRIVENER'S
ERROR.
7:49:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MOTION FROM HURTAK, SECOND FROM MIRANDA.

ALL IN FAVOR, AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT.
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO?
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA?
7:49:42PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, JUST HAD A
COUPLE OF PHONE CALLS WITH INDIVIDUALS.
A LADY CAME IN TO SEE ME THIS WEEK REGARDING ARTIFICIAL
TURF, SAYING IT IS GETTING HOTTER AND HOTTER AND THEY ARE
PUTTING MORE AND MORE TURF DOWN AND CREATING A DISADVANTAGE
TO THE NATURE OF LIFE.
OF ALL THINGS, I HAD A CONFERENCE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
DIFFERENT THINGS.
IN THE WATER DEPARTMENT I ASKED THEM ABOUT IT, THEY TOLD ME
THEY ARE GOING TO DO A STUDY OF ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF
ARTIFICIAL TURF AND WHAT THE CHEMICALS ARE MADE OF.
THEY'LL HAVE IT WITH WATER AND DRYING OUT.
THEY'LL CHECK THE WATER FOR ANY TYPE OF CHEMICALS THAT MAY
BE LEAKING INTO A WATER SYSTEM BECAUSE OF ARTIFICIAL TURF.
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT IS COMING ON.
7:50:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
7:50:28PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT'S WONDERFUL, BUT I BELIEVE THE STATE
JUST PREEMPTED US FROM BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT
ARTIFICIAL TURF.
7:50:36PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WE'LL STILL DO THE STUDY.

I IMAGINE THEY ARE.
7:50:38PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NO, THEY DID.
7:50:39PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THAT IS THE REASON WHY.
7:50:41PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SUPPOSEDLY THEY ARE WAITING TO DO SOME
TYPE OF CRITERIA AT THE STATE LEVEL AND IT WILL DICTATE TO
US WHAT WE DO IS WHAT I UNDERSTAND.
THAT IS THE END OF NEW BUSINESS.
7:50:50PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I FORGOT, SULING ASKED ME TO TAKE SOMETHING
OFF THE AGENDA NEXT WEEK.
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TAKE FILE CM-23-83645 OFF
THE AGENDA NEXT WEEK.
THIS IS A REPORT THAT I HAD ASKED USF TO DO AND I STILL NEED
TO GET THEM TO COME FORWARD TO DO IT.
7:51:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
ALL IN FAVOR, AYE.
OPPOSED?
