ITEM NUMBER 1.
5:03:37PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION
STAFF, PRESENTING ITEM ONE.
TA/CPA 25-18.
IT IS FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3602 WEST EUCLID AVENUE.
THIS IS A PRIVATELY INITIATED AMENDMENT.
IT'S SMALL SCALE IN SIZE.
IT'S APPROXIMATELY .29 ACRES.
RESIDENTIAL 20 TO THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 DESIGNATION.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING
DISTRICT, SPECIFICALLY IN THE FAIR OAKS MANHATTAN
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT IS SHOWN HERE ON OUR MAP.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF WEST
EUCLID AVENUE AND SOUTH HIMES AVENUE.

IT IS OUTLINED IN THIS YELLOW COLOR.
THERE ARE A MIX OF HOUSES ALONG WEST EUCLID AVENUE, AS WELL
AS SOME OFFICES ALONG THIS PORTION OF WEST EUCLID.
TO THE NORTH, WE HAVE SOME SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.
I DO WANT TO NOTE IT IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO BRITTON PLAZA,
WHICH HAS, AS YOU KNOW, COMMERCIAL USES CURRENTLY.
THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE TOWARDS BRITTON
PLAZA.
THIS IS LOOKING DIRECTLY WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG WEST
EUCLID AVENUE.
THIS IS LOOKING EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE AT THE INTERSECTION
OF WEST EUCLID AVENUE AND SOUTH HIMES AVENUE.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG SOUTH HIMES
AVENUE.
HERE IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SUBJECT SITE IS RECOGNIZED UNDER THE
RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION, WHICH ALLOWS LOW TO MEDIUM
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL UP TO 20 UNITS PER ACRE, ALLOWS ANYTHING
FROM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED TO SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND
MULTIFAMILY DWELLINGS.
THAT R-20 IS FOUND PREDOMINANTLY ALONG EUCLID AVENUE HERE.
AGAIN, DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF THE SITE IS
BRITTON PLAZA, WHICH IS RECOGNIZED UNDER THE CC-35
DESIGNATION.

ALONG HIMES AVENUE, WE DO HAVE SOME CMU 35 LOCATED JUST TO
THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THEN I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS PARCEL HERE WAS
REDESIGNATED FROM R-20 TO CMU 35 I BELIEVE IT WAS LAST YEAR.
IT'S THE SAME EXACT REQUEST THAT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY.
THEN WE DO HAVE THIS RESIDENTIAL 10 NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE
NORTH.
HERE IS THE PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP RECOGNIZING THE
SITE UNDER THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 DESIGNATION.
SO THAT IS A MEDIUM DENSITY, INTENSITY MIXED USE CATEGORY.
IT ALLOWS A RANGE OF USES FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL
GENERAL TYPE USES.
UNDER THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION, THE SITE CAN
BE CONSIDERED FOR FOUR DWELLING UNITS OR JUST OVER 6300
SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES.
THOSE WOULD BE LIMITED TO NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TYPE USES
AND THE SITE WOULD NEED TO MEET LOCATIONAL CRITERIA.
AS PROPOSED, THE REQUEST WOULD ALLOW UP TO EIGHT UNITS OR
JUST OVER 25,000 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES.
THIS AMENDMENT WOULD INCREASE THE DENSITY AND INTENSITY ON
THE SUBJECT SITE AND WOULD ALSO INTRODUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR
COMMERCIAL GENERAL USES ON THE SITE.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND IT
CONSISTENT WITH SEVERAL POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN,
PARTICULARLY THOSE RELATED TO COMPATIBILITY, SCALE, AND

MASSING.
THIS WOULD ALLOW THE SAME F.A.R. AS BRITTON PLAZA TO THE
SOUTH -- SOUTHWEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
AND IT WOULD ALSO -- IT WAS ALSO FOUND CONSISTENT WITH
POLICIES THAT PROMOTE DENSITIES THAT SUPPORT TRANSIT AND A
MIXTURE OF USES.
AS YOU KNOW, THERE IS A TRANSIT STOP LOCATED AT BRITTON
PLAZA.
YEAH, THEY FOUND IT CONSISTENT WITH THOSE POLICIES.
BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDED THAT THE REQUEST BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE
GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:07:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE.
YES, MA'AM.
5:08:09PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
ALEX SCHALER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE.
I HAVE A VERY BRIEF PRESENTATION.
TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTEXT ON THE AMENDMENT THAT
DANNY MENTIONED, WE REPRESENT THE OWNERS OF BRITTON PLAZA,
BRICKS MORE PROPERTY GROUP.
WEIRDLY THIS YELLOW STUBOUT AT THE TOP OF THEIR PROPERTY HAD

A DESIGNATION OF RESIDENTIAL.
WE CAME BEFORE YOU ALL, YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER THAT, SOME
POINT LAST YEAR AS DANNY MENTIONED AND CHANGED THE SAME
EXACT REQUEST FROM R-20 TO CMU 35.
ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE WE HAD THIS HEARING, I GOT A CALL
FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER OF THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN
TEAL.
HE SAID, HEY, I HEARD THE AMENDMENT IS GOING FORWARD.
CAN I INCLUDE MY LAND?
I SAID IT WAS A LITTLE TOO LATE BUT WE CAN FILE A NEW
APPLICATION.
THE ONE THAT BRICKS MORE FILED WAS WELL ACCEPTED, SO THAT'S
WHAT WE DID.
HE FILED THIS NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR CMU 35 BUT COMPANION
REZONING TO COMMERCIAL GENERAL.
THAT'S THE REAL REASON WE FILED THIS AMENDMENT.
CURRENTLY THE SITE IS ZONED RESIDENTIAL OFFICE 1, RO-1.
OFFICE USES ARE ALLOWED.
SMALL COLLECTION OF COMMERCIAL USES.
THE PROPERTY ATTORNEY IS AN ATTORNEY, HE OWNS THE LAW FIRM
ON-SITE TODAY AND WANTED THE FLEXIBILITY IN THE FUTURE TO
OPEN TO THE BROADER USES OF COMMERCIAL.
AND HENCE THIS ACCOMPANYING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
WE FEEL THERE IS INHERENT JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS.
THERE ARE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES NORTH OF EUCLID, BUT SOUTH

OF EUCLID IT'S TRENDING VERY COMMERCIAL.
THIS IS AT THE INTERSECTION UP TO COLLECTOR ROADS AS WELL.
STAFF FOUND THIS CONSISTENT.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION BOARD ALSO FOUND THIS CONSISTENT.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
5:09:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DOES COUNCIL HAVE QUESTIONS OF THE
APPLICANT?
HEARING NONE, VERY GOOD.
ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT.
COUNCILMAN CARLSON, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS ONE?

5:11:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CTTV, DO WE HAVE SOMETHING ON ITEM NUMBER
2?
IT'S COMING UP.
START WITH YOUR NAME AND IT WILL COME UP THERE AS WELL.
5:11:33PM >> QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
TA/CPA 25-19, A MAP AMENDMENT FOR THE MOSI SITE LOCATED AT
4615 AND 4801 EAST FOWLER AVENUE.
THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS PUBLICLY INITIATED IN SMALL SCALE,
COVERING APPROXIMATELY 11.25 ACRES.
THE REQUEST IS TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION
FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND PUBLIC, SEMI-PUBLIC TO UNIFIED
PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC DESIGNATION.
HERE IS THE GENERAL LOCATION MAP.

SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED IN THE UNIVERSITY PLANNING DISTRICT,
TERRACE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD AND TAMPA GREEN CORRIDOR.
THIS AERIAL SHOWS THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN BLUE WITH
ADJACENT PUBLICLY INITIATED PLAN AMENDMENT, TA/CPA 25-20
OUTLINED IN PINK.
SITE SITS SOUTH OF FOWLER AVENUE AND USF.
IMMEDIATELY TO THE EAST IS A DAY CARE CENTER WITH COMMERCIAL
AND MULTIFAMILY USES LOCATED FURTHER EAST ACROSS NORTH
50th STREET.
TO THE SOUTH AND WEST ARE INDUSTRIAL LANDS WITHIN THE TAMPA
INDUSTRIAL PARK WHICH CONTINUES SOUTH TOWARD THE GRECO
SOFTBALL COMPLEX AND NEARBY SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS.
JUST BEYOND THE FRAME TO THE NORTHEAST ARE UNINCORPORATED
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AND TEMPLE TERRACE JURISDICTION AND MORE
ZOOMED OUT AERIAL IS SHOWN IN THE STAFF REPORT.
THIS IS A PHOTO LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG EAST
FOWLER AVENUE.
LOOKING WEST ON EAST FOWLER AVENUE AND SUBJECT SITE IS ON
THE LEFT.
THE DAY CARE LOCATED DIRECTLY EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
LOOKING NORTHEAST AT THE INTERSECTION OF EAST FOWLER AVENUE
AND NORTH 50th STREET, AND LOOKING EAST ON NORTH 46th
STREET TOWARD THE VACANT INDUSTRIAL LAND TO THE SOUTH.
THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATES THE SITE AS
PUBLIC, SEMI-PUBLIC WHICH SUPPORTS PUBLIC SERVING ISSUES AND

LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, ALLOWS USES LIKE LIGHT MANUFACTURING AND
WAREHOUSING.
SOUTH AND WEST PRIMARILY HEAVY AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WITHIN
THE TAMPA INDUSTRIAL PARK.
ALSO A FEW POCKETS OF CMU 35 IN THE AREA CREATED THROUGH
INDIVIDUAL PLAN AMENDMENTS SPANNING FROM 2005 TO 2023.
FURTHER SOUTH IS RECREATION OPEN SPACE, THE GRECO SOFTBALL
SPACE WHICH TRANSITIONS TO RESIDENTIAL 10.
NORTH AND EAST PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC USES INCLUDING USF AND DAY
CARE.
NORTHEAST OUTSIDE OF THE CITY IS HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY
RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION AND THAT'S ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF
USF IN THE BROWN.
AND THEN FURTHER EAST IN TEMPLE TERRACE THE AREA IS
RESIDENTIAL 9 AND COMMERCIAL USES ARE CLOSER TO EAST FOWLER
AVENUE.
AND THEN THIS MAP SHOWS A UNIFIED P/SP DESIGNATION FOR THE
ENTIRE MOSI SITE.
SITE IS CURRENTLY SPLIT BETWEEN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND
PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC.
LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PORTION DOES NOT ALLOW RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT AND COULD ACCOMMODATE JUST OVER 400,000 SQUARE
FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC DOES NOT HAVE DEFINED MAXIMUMS FOR
RESIDENTIAL OR NONRESIDENTIAL.

UNDER THE AMENDMENT, UNIFIED P/SP DESIGNATION, NO LONGER
DEFINED DENSITY AND INTENSITY MAXIMUMS AND FUTURE
DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE GUIDED BY THE TYPE OF PUBLIC OR PUBLIC
SUPPORTING USE PROPOSED AND THE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE
SURROUNDING AREA.
WE SENT THIS OUT FOR AGENCY REVIEW AND DID NOT RECEIVE ANY
OBJECTIONS TO THE REQUEST.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND THE REQUEST ALIGNS WITH THE
GREEN TECH CORRIDOR POLICIES AND THE UNIVERSITY PLANNING
DISTRICT WHICH RECOGNIZES THIS AREA AS A MAJOR CENTER FOR
EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND EMPLOYMENT.
THE LAND IS PUBLICLY OWNED AND THE PROPOSED DESIGNATION
SUPPORTS THE CONTINUED USE AND REINVESTMENT IN THAT
LONG-STANDING INSTITUTIONAL USE.
IT IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH POLICIES THAT ENCOURAGE PUBLIC
AMENITIES SINCE MOSI PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL AND COMMUNITY
SERVING FACILITIES THAT BENEFIT THE BROADER AREA.
WITH THAT, PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THAT THE PROPOSED
MAP AMENDMENT BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS,
OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
5:15:02PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE, APPLICANT.
WELCOME BACK TO TAMPA CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
5:15:08PM >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL.

JULIA MANDELL WITH THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE.
I AM HERE IN MY CAPACITY AS A LAND USE LAWYER REPRESENTING
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY ON THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.
I ALSO HAVE WITH ME GREG HORWEDEL WHO IS THE DEPUTY COUNTY
ADMINISTRATOR, AND JOHN MULLER, WHO IS STANDING WITH ME, WHO
IS THE DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES MANAGEMENT AND REAL ESTATE
SERVICES FOR HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS THAT
YOU HAVE THIS EVENING REGARDING THE ENTIRE MOSI PROPERTY.
THE PREMISE BEHIND THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION IS IF YOU
WOULD NOTE FROM WHAT YOU SAW FROM THE STAFF REPORT, RIGHT
NOW MOSI SITS WITH A SPLIT DESIGNATION.
PART OF IT IS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL.
PART OF IT IS PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC.
THIS WOULD TRUE THAT UP AND ENSURE THAT THOSE PROPERTIES
THAT ARE INTENDED TO REMAIN IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN SUCH AS
MOSI AND THE FUTURE FIELD HOUSE PROJECT, SOME OF YOU MAY
HAVE HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT, ARE REMAINING WITHIN THE PUBLIC
DOMAIN.
BUT IT IS ALSO THE INTENT THAT THE OVERALL PROJECT, EVEN
THOUGH YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THAT IN THE NEXT APPLICATION, THIS
PORTION OF THE PROJECT AND THE PROPERTY IS INTENDED TO SERVE
AS AN ANCHOR FOR THAT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
SO WE WOULD AGREE WITH STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID MAKE A DETERMINATION THAT THIS
WAS APPROVABLE AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, AND WE WOULD JUST
SIMPLY ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN THIS APPLICATION AND WOULD BE
AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
5:16:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
DOES ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
OKAY.
COME ON UP.
START WITH YOUR NAME ONCE YOU GET TO THE PODIUM AND YOU'LL
HAVE THREE MINUTES.
5:16:52PM >> CHARLES LOVE, TERRACE PARK.
FIRST OF ALL, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT.
I'M RATHER EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT COMING UP.
BUT I DO HAVE A FEW CONCERNS.
THE MAIN CONCERN THAT I WOULD HAPPEN TO HAVE IS THE FACT
THAT, WELL, THE FACT TO DO WITH THE NEW FIRE RESCUE STATION
THAT'S GOING TO BE NEARBY THERE, AND THAT TRAFFIC IS NOT
TIED UP WITH EMERGENCY TRAFFIC TIED UP, TYING UP THE
TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMBINED WITH THE USF STADIUM.
PART OF THE TERRACE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, FIRST OF
ALL, WOULD LIKE YOU ALL TO COME AND TALK TO US.
THE PLANNING PEOPLE COME AND TALK TO US, AND TO THE CITY OF
TEMPLE TERRACE WILL AFFECT THEIR LIVES AS WELL, AS I
MENTIONED, AS WELL AS OURS IN TERRACE PARK.

ALSO, THAT EVERYBODY -- I ALSO KIND OF HOPING THAT WE AT THE
TERRACE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION CAN FACILITATE, LET'S
SAY, CREATING LIAISONS BETWEEN THE NEW FIRE RESCUE STATION
THAT'S GOING TO BE NEAR THERE OVER NEAR GRECO PARK AND ALSO
THE MOSI DEVELOPMENT, MAYBE IF WE'RE LUCKY OVER AT THE
STADIUM, TOO.
IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE EVERYBODY ON THE SAME PAGE OF
THE BOOK IN ORDER TO HAVE -- WELL, AS I PUT, TEMPLE TERRACE
TWO NIGHTS AGO, TO MAXIMIZE POTENTIAL AND MINIMIZE PROBLEMS,
WHICH I'M CROSSING MY FINGERS IN ABOUT, IN PARTICULAR WITH
TRAFFIC PROBLEMS.
I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE THE ONLY PROBLEM WE WOULD HAVE.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT IS INVITING, WELL,
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK HAS BEEN TO OUR MEETINGS.
AND WE WOULD LIKE, ESPECIALLY YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, TO COME TO
OUR MEETINGS.
OUR NEXT ONE IS GOING TO BE ON MAY 20 AT THE TEMPLE TERRACE
LIBRARY AT 6:00 IN THE EVENING IF YOU CAN ARRANGE IT OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AS KIND OF THE CHAIRMAN, WITH LUIS NOT
HERE TONIGHT, MOVING ON AND ALL THAT.
SO WE CAN COME AND TALK AND YOU GET TO MEET US AND ALL THAT
AND HEAR WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY.
OF COURSE, WE'LL BE ALSO INTERESTED IN HEARING WHAT THE
PROGRESS IS BY THAT TIME ABOUT THE RAYS STADIUM IF YOU HAVE
ANYTHING AT THAT TIME AS WELL.

DIVERT FROM THE SUBJECT.
MAIN THING, WE WOULD LOVE TO HELP FACILITATE YOU ALL BETWEEN
THE PEOPLE FROM MOSI AND THE PEOPLE FROM THE FIRE RESCUE
PEOPLE, HELP CREATE LIAISONS THAT WILL MAKE THINGS SAFER AND
BETTER FOR EVERYBODY THERE.
5:19:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I'VE BEEN TO TWO OF YOUR MEETINGS.
BUT I'M HAPPY TO COME BACK AGAIN.
5:19:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I THINK YOU MIGHT BE THINKING OF UNIVERSITY
PARK.
5:19:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
NO.
I'VE BEEN THERE TWICE.
APPLICANT HAVE ANY REBUTTAL ON THAT?
5:19:42PM >> THANK YOU.
ONLY THING I DID WANT TO INDICATE IS MR. MULLER WITH THE
COUNTY HAS SPOKEN WITH THE GENTLEMAN AND GOTTEN HIS CONTACT
INFORMATION.
IT'S CERTAINLY OUR INTENT TO FACILITATE ALL THE
CONVERSATIONS WE NEED NOT JUST FOR OUR PARK OF THE PROJECT
BUT FOR THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT.
5:19:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION BECAUSE
TERRACE PARK ACTUALLY HAS JUST RECENTLY REESTABLISHED
ITSELF, AND THAT'S -- YEAH, YOU WENT TO THE OLD TERRACE
PARK.
YES, YOU SHOULD GO VISIT THE NEW.

BUT I THINK THAT MIGHT BE WHY BECAUSE THEY WERE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE REORGANIZING, BUT I'M GLAD YOU WERE ABLE TO
CONNECT BECAUSE THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION.
5:20:19PM >> ABSOLUTELY.
WE WILL.
WE INTEND TO DO SO.
5:20:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO
SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT.

ITEM NUMBER 3.
5:21:12PM >>THE CLERK:
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY WITH VIERA BEING
ABSENT.
SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON MAY 21st,
2026, AT 10 A.M. AT OLD CITY HALL LOCATED AT 315 EAST
KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602.
5:21:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SAM, COME TO COUNCIL CHAMBERS, PLEASE.
GO AHEAD.
FIND SAM FOR ME.
ITEM NUMBER 3.
5:21:40PM >> EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
ITEM 3 IS TA/CPA 25-20 LOCATED AT 11315 NORTH 46th STREET
AND ASSOCIATED PARCELS.
THIS IS A TRANSMITTAL HEARING AS THIS IS A REGULAR SCALE
AMENDMENT.
THIS IS PUBLICLY INITIATED, A REGULAR SCALE.
IT'S APPROXIMATELY 62.8 ACRES.
THE REQUEST IS TO GO FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, HEAVY
INDUSTRIAL, PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC TO URBAN MIXED USE 60 AND
COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35.
THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY PLANNING DISTRICT.
THE TERRACE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD AND GREEN TECH CORRIDOR.

OUTLINED IN PINK IS THE LARGER AREA YOU JUST HEARD THE MOSI
SITE.
THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA IS LOCATED DIRECTLY TO THE
NORTH, TO THE EAST AS PART OF THE APPLICATION IN THIS CORNER
IS THE DAY CARE.
IT HAS MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL USES THAT ARE LOCATED FURTHER
EAST ACROSS NORTH 50th STREET.
TO THE SOUTH AND WEST ARE VACANT AND DEVELOPED LANDS WITHIN
THE TAMPA INDUSTRIAL PARK, WHICH TRANSITIONS TO THE GRECO
SOFTBALL COMPLEX, AND SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND JUST BEYOND THE FRAME TO THE NORTHEAST ARE THE
UNINCORPORATED HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AND TEMPLE TERRACE
JURISDICTIONS.
THIS IS LOOKING EAST ON NORTH 46th STREET TOWARDS THE
SUBJECT SITE.
THIS IS THE DAY CARE AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED ON THE SUBJECT
SITE AT THE CORNER OF FOWLER AND 50th.
THIS IS LOOKING WEST ON EAST FOWLER AVENUE.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS ON THE LEFT.
THIS IS LOOKING WEST ON NORTH 50th STREET AT THE ADJACENT
RESIDENTIAL USES.
THIS IS LOOKING NORTHEAST AT THE INTERSECTION OF EAST FOWLER
AVENUE AND NORTH 50th STREET.
THIS IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN BLACK.

IT IS DESIGNATED WITH THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, THE HEAVY
INDUSTRIAL, AND THE PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC DESIGNATION.
AGAIN, THIS IS THE SITE THAT YOU JUST HEARD TO GO COMPLETELY
TO P/SP.
THE P/SP DESIGNATION IS TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
HEAVY INDUSTRIAL, IT DOES EXIST TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT
SITE.
THE EXISTING CMU TO THE WEST LOCATED HERE WERE PREVIOUS PLAN
AMENDMENTS.
AND MOVING FURTHER EAST ALONG FOWLER AVENUE IS THE COMMUNITY
MIXED USE 35 DESIGNATION, WHICH DOES TRANSITION GOING SOUTH
TO THE LOWER DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USES.
THIS IS THE PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
AGAIN, THE SITE IS OUTLINED IN BLACK.
IT IS REPRESENTED WITH THE URBAN MIXED USE 60 WHICH IS THE
DARKER PURPLE COLOR ALONG THIS PORTION OF THE SITE, AND THIS
IS THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 DESIGNATION OF THE SITE.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAD IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL
COMPATIBILITY CONCERNS IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER, AND STAFF
WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT TO MITIGATE THOSE IMPACTS WHICH IS
WHY THAT REQUEST WAS REDUCED TO THE CMU 35 IN THAT CORNER.
THESE ARE THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
CURRENTLY UNDER THE LIGHT AND HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION,
RESIDENTIAL USES ARE NOT ALLOWED.
UNDER THE PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC DESIGNATION, THE MAXIMUM IS NOT

DEFINED.
HOWEVER, DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE
SURROUNDING AREA.
THE SITE, UNDER THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND HEAVY INDUSTRIAL,
THEY CAN GET UP TO JUST OVER 3.6 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF
NONRESIDENTIAL USES.
UNDER THE PROPOSED UMU 60 AND THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35
DESIGNATIONS THE SITE CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR JUST OVER 3,400
DWELLING UNITS OR JUST OVER 8.2 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF
RESIDENTIAL OR NONRESIDENTIAL USES.
THIS AMENDMENT WOULD INTRODUCE RESIDENTIAL DENSITY AND
COMMERCIAL INTENSITY WHERE THEY ARE PREVIOUSLY NOT ALLOWED
AND IT WOULD ALSO REMOVE THE INDUSTRIAL USES ON THE SITE
COMPLETELY.
THIS DID GO OUT FOR AGENCY REVIEW.
WHILE THERE WERE NO OBJECTIONS, THE EPC DID COMMENT THAT THE
ADJACENT COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE
WITH THE PROPOSED FLU AMENDMENT.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND THE SITE WAS COMPATIBLE AND
CONSISTENT WITH PROMOTING A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AS
THE COMMERCIAL DOES EXIST ALONG FOWLER AVENUE.
THEY ALSO FOUND IT CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPACT CITY FORM
WITH THE DENSITY IN ALLOWING MORE RESIDENTIAL IN THE AREA.
WITH THAT, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS 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.
5:26:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE.
5:26:48PM >> GOOD EVENING.
MATT LEWIS WITH STANTEC ON BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC/PRIVATE
PROPRIETORSHIP BETWEEN AKP RENAISSANCE AND HILLSBOROUGH
COUNTY.
THERE SHOULD BE A PRESENTATION IN THE QUEUE.
5:27:05PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YOU CAN START TALKING.
5:27:07PM >> WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE FIRST STEP IN REALLY THE
REIMAGINING OF THIS PARTICULAR DISTRICT IN HILLSBOROUGH
COUNTY AND THE CITY OF TAMPA.
AS I MENTIONED, THIS IS A PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AND AKP RENAISSANCE.
WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING AT IS A TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT, NOT
SIMPLY TO BUILD A MIXED USE DISTRICT IN THE AREA BUT EVOLVE
THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ROLE OF THE PROPERTY FROM
INDUSTRIAL TO OFFICE AND TOURISM.
WHAT WE'RE DOING IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE EXISTING
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN THE REGION AND BEGINNING THE
PROCESS OF REALLY A GENERATIONAL TRANSFORMATION OF THIS AREA
FROM PLANNED TO BE HEAVY AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO SOMETHING
THAT'S MORE TOURISM AND UNIVERSITY RELATED.
SO THE REQUEST, AS MS. PHELAN WENT THROUGH IS TO CHANGE THE

LAND USE FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND HEAVY INDUSTRIAL AND
PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC TO URBAN MIXED USE 60 AND CMU 35.
WHAT THIS IS REALLY DOING IS REMOVING HEAVY INDUSTRIAL
IMPACT TO THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE AREA AND
REPLACING IT WITH AN ABILITY TO DO THOUGHTFUL MIXED USE
PLANNING AND TRANSITION AWAY FROM THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL
DISTRICT AND REALLY BUILD SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL SEE LATER IN
THE PRESENTATION FILLS IN THE UNIVERSITY AREA.
SO THIS HAS BEEN INDUSTRIAL IN YOUR PLANS SINCE IT'S BEEN IN
YOUR PLANS.
IN THE 1960s, THE AREA OF MOSI WAS ANNEXED INTO CITY OF
TAMPA AS CITY PARK.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ANNEXED INTO THE CITY OF TAMPA AS AN
INDUSTRIAL PARK BECAUSE IT WAS AN OLD ARMY AIRFIELD THAT
TRANSITIONED INTO AN OLD AIRPORT AND WAS EFFECTIVELY AN
INDUSTRIAL USE.
IT HAD RAIL LINES RUNNING THROUGH IT.
IT HAD EVERYTHING YOU WOULD NEED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
STRONG INDUSTRIAL AREA.
BUT TIME CHANGED.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY, WHICH
IS NOT NECESSARILY A HEALTHY INDUSTRIAL PARK ANYMORE.
REALLY, THE INFLECTION POINT IS IN THE 1980s.
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE 1980s IS THE YUENGLING CENTER OPENED
AND MOSI MOVED TO THIS LOCATION ON FOWLER.

YUENGLING CENTER OPENED WITH A SOLD OUT ALICE COOPER CONCERT
AND USF BULLS BASKETBALL GAME ON THE SAME DAY.
A RARE DOUBLEHEADER OPENING FOR THE STADIUM.
NOW IT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST EVENT VENUES ON THE UNIVERSITY
CAMPUS IN THE COUNTRY.
300 EVENTS PER YEAR.
BY THE 2000s, THIS AREA WAS PROJECTED TO BUILD OUT AS AN
INDUSTRIAL PARK.
THAT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T HAPPEN.
BUT THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD THING BECAUSE THE AREA IS
TRANSITIONING ALREADY, STARTING WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE
YUENGLING BREWERY AND YUENGLING CENTER, BUSCH GARDENS, USF
ITSELF.
IT'S NO LONGER AN INDUSTRIAL PARK THAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT,
IT'S A REGIONAL DESTINATION WITH TOURISM ANCHORS, MOFFITT
CANCER CENTER WHICH BRINGS PATIENTS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE,
AS WELL AS UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA, UNIVERSITY AREA,
WHICH IS ONE OF THE FACES OF TAMPA.
WHEN PEOPLE THINK OF TAMPA, THEY THINK OF DOWNTOWN,
WESTSHORE, AND THE UNIVERSITY.
SO THIS IS, WHAT DOES YOUR FACE LOOK LIKE?
AS TIME GOES ON, 2010s, STARTS TO REIMAGINE THE AREA AS A
MIXED USE DISTRICT, TRANSIT SUPPORTED, AND THE PLANS ARE
FOLLOWING SUIT.
IMAGINE TAMPA IS ADOPTED IN 2016, INTRODUCING MORE TRANSIT

SUPPORTIVE IDEAS.
AND FINALLY, IT ALL COMES TO FRUITION IN FEBRUARY OF THIS
YEAR WHERE THE TRANSMITTAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE
CITY OF TAMPA INCLUDED THE TRANSITION OF THIS PARTICULAR
AREA INTO LAND USES THAT COMPLEMENT EXISTING ANCHOR
INSTITUTIONS, SUPPORT ENTREPRENEUR ENDEAVORS AND PROMOTE A
MORE SUSTAINABLE, COMPACT AND WALKABLE ENVIRONMENT.
THAT'S WHAT THE AMENDMENTS YOU SEE BEFORE YOU ARE GOING TO
DO.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
THIS IS THE FOWLER AVENUE VISION.
THE FOWLER AVENUE VISION IDENTIFIES THESE MIXED USE NODES
ALONG IT.
THE REALLY NEAT THING ABOUT THE MIXED USE NODES IS THEY ARE
COINCIDENTALLY IDEAL SPACING FOR BRT OR TRANSIT ORIENTED
DEVELOPMENT.
AND WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS MOSI JUST BEING ONE STOP ALONG THE
FUTURE FOWLER LINE, ALONG WITH THE RESEARCH PARK AND THE
ALREADY APPROVED INNOVATION HUB.
SO THE AREA IS STILL AN ECONOMIC ENGINE.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE INDUSTRIAL ECONOMIC ENGINE.
IT IS A DESTINATION CENTER.
THE INTRODUCTION OF THE NEW COUNTY FIELD HOUSE AS WELL AS
THE POSSIBILITY OF BUILDING AN ICE HOUSE IN THE AREA REALLY
EXPANDS ECONOMIC POSSIBILITIES AS A TOURISM FACE FOR THE

CITY OF TAMPA.
WHAT DOES THIS DO FOR US IN THE LONG RUN IS IF YOU LOOK AT
THE VARIOUS ANCHOR INSTITUTIONS IN THE AREA AND LOOK AT THIS
SITE IN RELATION TO THEM, IT TURNS THIS PARTICULAR PORTION
OF THE UNIVERSITY PLANNING AREA INTO A PARK DISTRICT.
EACH OF THE PURPLE SQUARES IS WALKING DISTANCE TO A PARKING
LOT OR TO A DESTINATION.
AND WITHIN THE VERY CENTER OF IT IS THE SITE UNDER
CONSIDERATION TODAY.
SO IF YOU WERE TO GO TO ANY OF THESE LOCATIONS, GRECO PARK,
THE YUENGLING CENTER, THE NEW STADIUM, YOU COULD PARK THERE
AND WALK TO RESTAURANTS AND EVENTS AT THIS SITE AND GO TO
THE MOSI MUSEUM.
IF YOU WANTED TO, YOU COULD PARK HERE AND GO TO EVENTS
AROUND IT.
IT REALLY BRINGS THESE THINGS TOGETHER INTO ONE CENTRAL
PLACE.
I'M NOT GOING TO READ THIS TO YOU.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WHY THIS IS EVOLVING AWAY FROM
INDUSTRIAL, BUT WHAT SHOULD IT EVOLVE TO, THIS IS THE TEXT
FROM THE PLAN, WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY PLANNING
DISTRICT AND WHAT IT'S REALLY SAYING IS BUILD COMPLETE
COMMUNITIES WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHOPPING, LIVING, HOUSING
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
THE OUTCOMES IS WE'RE LOOKING AT REALIZING A NEW ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT ENGINE FOR THIS AREA.
ONE WASN'T REALIZED.
THIS ONE WE HOPE WILL BE THROUGH PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP.
UMU 60 AND CMU AMENDMENT IMPLEMENT THAT OUTCOME.
WE HOPE YOU'LL CONSIDER TRANSMITTAL OF THIS TO THE STATE FOR
US.
5:33:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
5:34:01PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
WHO TECHNICALLY OWNS THIS PROPERTY?
5:34:05PM >> CURRENT OWNER IS HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
5:34:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I LIKE THE WAY YOU SAID "CURRENT OWNER,"
BECAUSE AS THIS DEVELOPS INTO A MULTIUSE, ONE OF THE THINGS
I HAVE TO SAY THAT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT IS THE TAXATION TO
SUPPORT THIS.
5:34:22PM >> JULIA MANDELL, COUNTY ATTORNEY FOR HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
CURRENTLY, THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY WITHIN THE OWNERSHIP
OF HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, BOTH THE PREVIOUS AND THIS COMP PLAN
AMENDMENT AS WE PROCEED FORWARD, WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING
THROUGH AS A PARTNERSHIP HOW IT IS BEST TRANSFERRED TO
ENSURE THERE'S TAXABILITY AVAILABLE.
THAT'S PART OF THE PREMISE OF THIS ENTIRE EXERCISE.
5:34:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I JUST HAD TO ASK THE QUESTION.
I THOUGHT SO, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.
5:34:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ASK AND ANSWERED.

DOES THAT COMPLETE YOUR PRESENTATION?
5:34:57PM >> YES, THANK YOU.
5:34:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
VERY GOOD.

TRANSMITTAL?

5:35:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.

ITEM NUMBER 4.
5:36:03PM >>EMILY PHELAN:
ITEM 4 WAS A PREVIOUSLY CONTINUED ITEM AND
THE PRESENTATION WAS PREVIOUSLY GIVEN.
I CAN GO THROUGH A PRESENTATION AGAIN IF THAT IS COUNCIL'S
PLEASURE OR WE CAN CONTINUE.
LIKE AN ABBREVIATED VERSION.
5:36:20PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SO I THINK IT MIGHT BE GOOD JUST TO QUICKLY
SHOW BECAUSE I THINK THESE NEXT TWO ARE CONNECTED, BUT JUST
TO REMIND US.
5:36:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
GO AHEAD IN AN EXPEDITED FASHION, WHICH I
KNOW YOU KNOW HOW TO DO.
I'VE WATCHED IT.
5:36:40PM >>EMILY PHELAN:
EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
TA/CPA 25-15.
IT IS LOCATED AT 4304 NORTH 26th STREET, 4205 NORTH 25th
STREET AND FOLIO NUMBER 156781.0000.
THIS IS PRIVATELY INITIATED.
IT IS SMALL SCALE.
IT IS APPROXIMATELY 1.36 ACRES.
THE REQUEST IS TO GO FROM RESIDENTIAL 10 TO RESIDENTIAL 20.
THIS IS THE GENERAL LOCATION MAP.
IT'S LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, THE
EAST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE, THE EAST TAMPA 1 NEIGHBORHOOD, AND
EAST TAMPA CRA.
THIS IS THE GENERAL LIKE AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE.

SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PINK.
THE SITE OUTLINED IN BLUE IS TA/CPA 25-17, WHICH IS THE
RELATED ITEM.
THIS TO THE WEST IS THE GIRLS PREPARATORY ACADEMY.
THE PRIMARY SURROUNDING AREA IS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG NORTH 26th
STREET.
THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG NORTH 25th
STREET.
THIS IS LOOKING WEST OF THE SITE ALONG NORTH 25th STREET
LOOKING AT THE GIRLS PREPARATORY ACADEMY.
THIS IS LOOKING NORTHEAST ALONG NORTH 25th STREET, THE
SUBJECT SITE IS TO THE RIGHT.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH 26th
STREET AND EAST 38th AVENUE AT THE SURROUNDING
SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED.
THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN BLACK IS REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION, WHICH IS TO THE NORTH,
EAST, AND PART OF THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
THIS DARK COLOR HERE IS THE RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION.
AND TO THE WEST IS THE PUBLIC, SEMI-PUBLIC DESIGNATION.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN BLACK AND REPRESENTED WITH
THE RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION.
UNDER THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION, THE SUBJECT
SITE CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR 13 DWELLING UNITS OR JUST OVER

20,000 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES IF LOCATIONAL
CRITERIA IS MET.
UNDER THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION, THE SITE
COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR 27 DWELLING UNITS OR JUST OVER
29,000 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES IF LOCATIONAL
CRITERIA IS MET.
THIS AMENDMENT WOULD RESULT IN AN INCREASE OF RESIDENTIAL
DENSITY AND COMMERCIAL INTENSITY.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ON THE SLIDE.
COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.
IT HAS A TRANSITION IN THE DENSITY AND IT ENSURES AN
ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING.
AND WITH THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THAT THE
PROPOSED MAP AMENDMENT BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS,
OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
5:39:36PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE, APPLICANT.
5:39:43PM >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
STEVE MICHELINI.
YOU MAY RECALL THAT AT OUR LAST MEETING, WE WERE ASKED TO
CONDUCT A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING, WHICH THE PLANNING
COMMISSION STAFF AND WE PARTICIPATED IN.

AND IT WAS A FAIRLY EXTENSIVE.
WE LISTENED INTENTLY WITH ALL OF THEIR QUESTIONS, AND
ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT PART OF THIS PRESENTATION, BUT MANY OF THE
QUESTIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT MEETING INVOLVED SUBSEQUENT
DEVELOPMENT ISSUES AND NOT THE CHANGE FROM R-10 TO R-20.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION
FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT.
AS I SAID, WE HELD A JOINT NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING.
CONSIDERATION, MEETS ALL OF THE CRITERIA FOR CONSIDERATION
TO CHANGE FROM R-10 TO R-20.
IT IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT ON THE SOUTH SIDE TO R-20.
THE PROPOSED PROJECT WHEN IT COMES TO YOU AS A REZONING WILL
ADDRESS A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ISSUES.
IT'S IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A TRANSIT CORRIDOR, AND THE NEEDS
AND ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED IN THE FUTURE WILL BE
COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.
IT WILL CLEAN UP A NUMBER OF DEFICIENCIES IN THE AREA.
IT NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIED -- IT WAS IDENTIFIED AND SUPPORTED
IN THE LONG-TERM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE CITY OF TAMPA.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND CRA, ALL OF WHICH HAVE INDICATED
IT WAS CONSISTENT WITH THEIR OBJECTIVES.
GOING FORWARD, IT WILL COME FORWARD TO YOU AS A PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN ADDRESS A
NUMBER OF NEIGHBORHOOD ISSUES.
THAT'S BOTH ON-SITE AND OFF-SITE.

ULTIMATELY, THE GOAL IS TO DO NO HARM AND TO CREATE NO
ADVERSE CONDITIONS.
AND WE ARE RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING YOUR APPROVAL TO INCREASE
THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY.
AND THIS IS NOT A DEVELOPMENT PLAN, PER SE, BUT IT GIVES THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR INCREASED DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA, WHICH
WOULD BE A TRANSITION BETWEEN THE ALLOWABLE R-20 ON THE
SOUTH AND THE R-10 THAT GOES ON THE NORTH SIDE.
IT IS DEFICIENT IN TRANSPORTATION, WHICH WILL BE ADDRESSED
THROUGH THIS PROJECT, AND THE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ADDRESSED,
AS I SAID, THROUGH A REZONING.
IT WAS FOUND TO BE COMPATIBLE AND CONSISTENT WITH ALL OF THE
REVIEWING AGENCIES.
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
5:42:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE, ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK TO
THIS ITEM?
COME ON UP.
START WITH YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
5:42:41PM >> HELLO.
MY NAME IS DEVIN IZETT.
IS THIS PROJECTOR WORKING?
5:42:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YES, PUT IT FACE UP, IT WILL COME ON
AUTOMATICALLY.

WE CAN SEE IT.
5:42:52PM >> I HAVE BROUGHT WITH ME A COPY OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN,
WHICH I BELIEVE THAT THIS DOES NOT AGREE WITH.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT LAND USE POLICY 9.5.2, TO MAINTAIN THE
CHARACTER OF SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AREA AND DISCOURAGE
THE DEMOLITION OF SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES.
AND 9.5.4 TO UTILIZE THE CATEGORIES TO MAINTAIN CURRENT
DENSITY AND THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SINGLE-FAMILY AREAS.
NOW, I BOUGHT MY FIRST HOME IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE IT WAS A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
AREA.
I LOVE TAMPA.
I WANT TO START A FAMILY HERE.
AND I'M IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY.
AND THERE WAS A HOUSE ON THE PROPERTY --
5:43:36PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ON THE TOP OF THE PROJECTOR, VERY TIPTOP,
ON THE ARM UP THERE, VERY TOP, THERE IS A WHEEL.
IT WILL SCROLL OUT SO YOU CAN GET THE WHOLE THING.
5:43:48PM >> THIS IS A PICTURE OF A HOUSE THAT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
I WATCHED CONTRACTORS REFURBISH THIS HOUSE.
IT IS ON THIS PROPERTY.
THEY REFURBISHED THIS HOUSE AND THEN PUT IT UP FOR SALE.
IT WAS BOUGHT UP AND IMMEDIATELY BULLDOZED FOR THIS DENSITY
PROJECT.
I THINK THAT THIS IS A BAD SPOT FOR DENSITY JUST BECAUSE ITS

LOCATION NEAR LOMAX ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, FERRELL GIRL SCHOOL,
MIDDLETON SCHOOL.
THE INCREASED TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA IS GOING TO BE DANGEROUS
FOR CHILDREN AND PEDESTRIANS.
SO, YEAH, I DON'T THINK IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AT ALL.
DEVELOPERS COMING IN, BULLDOZING MY NEIGHBORS' HOUSES AND
THEN PROPOSING A DENSITY PROJECT FOR RENTABLE UNITS.
IT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING -- I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THIS
HOUSE IF I KNEW THIS WAS GOING IN RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
I DON'T THINK IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE TONIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
5:44:57PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
APPLICANT?
ANYBODY ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK TO THE ITEM?
5:45:05PM >> I'M SORRY.
I RUN UP THE STAIRS.
LAST TIME WE SPOKE AT 9:00.
MY NAME IS CERLINE SACHIN.
I AM A NEIGHBOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
IN OUR FIRST MEETING, I WAS COMPLETELY AGAINST THE
DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE FACTS.
THANK YOU, COUNCILWOMAN, THANKS TO YOU, AND THEN I ACTUALLY
SENT THE E-MAIL MOBILIZING EVERYBODY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND

EVERYTHING.
I REMEMBER YOU.
THE CITY PEOPLE WERE GREAT EXPLAINING EVERYTHING.
SO I CHANGED MY MIND FROM MASSIVE NO TO A MASSIVE YES.
BECAUSE THE WAY -- I ACTUALLY LOOKED.
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE PROJECT, AND THEY HAD TWO
PONDS LOCATED IN IT.
THESE PONDS ARE REALLY GOING TO WORK WITH ONE OF MY
CONCERNS.
5:46:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
5:46:04PM >> I RUN THE STAIRS LITERALLY.
SO ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS FLOODING, RIGHT?
SO THESE PONDS WILL ACTUALLY COLLECT THE WATER COMING IN
FROM THE RAIN, AND WILL STABILIZE OUR AREA.
ALSO, I HAD THE IMPRESSION, FIRST INFORMATION THEY HAD,
WHICH WAS WRONG, THAT THESE WOULD BE TINY LITTLE PLACES AND
THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I WOULD GLADLY GO BUY A UNIT IN THERE
FOR MY SISTER.
I'M ORIGINALLY FROM BRAZIL, TO LIVE THERE.
YES, THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN POPULATION, BUT THAT IS A
GOOD THING BECAUSE THEN YOU GUYS WILL HAVE TO LOCATE MORE
MONEY FOR OUR SAFETY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR ROADS, TO INCREASE,
YOU KNOW, THERE WILL BE PROBLEMS WITH TRAFFIC.
NO, BECAUSE YOU GUYS WILL INSTALL LIGHTS.

IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT SLOWER, HEY, I RUN THE STAIRS
AND I'M 50 YEARS OLD.
I AM IN FAVOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT, AND I THINK IF I MAY
SUGGEST HUMBLY, IN THE FUTURE, IF YOU ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY
EARLIER AND YOU EXPLAIN THE FACTS, IF I HAD SEEN WHERE THE
PONDS WERE LOCATED, HOW THE HOUSES, LIKE THE TOWN HOUSES
WERE DESIGNED AND EVERYTHING, I WOULDN'T HAVE SAID NO.
ALSO, I WAS HUMBLED BY A CAREGIVER BECAUSE I WAS KNOCKING ON
DOORS.
I WANTED EVERYBODY TO BE AT THE LIBRARY TO SEE THE CITY
EMPLOYEES.
AND THEN AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN WAS A CAREGIVER TO THE
LADY WHO LIVES IN THE PINK HOUSE TOLD ME, HEY, YOU KNOW THAT
PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD EXPENSIVE HOUSES ANYMORE.
AND THEN I WAS LIKE, HERE I AM, WHITE WOMAN, PREACHING TO
THE WRONG PEOPLE.
PLEASE APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT.
IT IS A VERY GOOD THING YOU'RE DOING.
5:48:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
COME ON UP.
START WITH YOUR NAME.
YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES.
5:48:09PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
I'M VICTORIA.

I LIVE NEXT DOOR TO WHERE THEY WANT TO BUILD.
I WAS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING TO BE
COMING THROUGH WHEN THOSE APARTMENTS OR UNITS ARE BUILT
BECAUSE THE STREET RIGHT NOW IS VERY NARROW.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW THE TRAFFIC WILL GO, NORTH TO SOUTH,
EAST TO WEST.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT.
HOW THEY ARE GOING TO BUILD THIS UNIT RIGHT NEXT TO
RESIDENTIAL AREA AND PUT THIS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY IN THE
MIDDLE.
THAT'S ONLY CONCERN I HAD WITH THE TRAFFIC GOING IN AND OUT
OF THE COMPLEX.
5:48:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
ANYBODY ELSE?
IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM,
YOU CAN STAND UP AGAINST THE WALL AND I'LL CALL YOU UP ONE
AT A TIME.
START WITH YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
5:48:55PM >> HI.
MY NAME IS MARY GRACE.
ACTUALLY I AM THE NEIGHBOR OF THE GENTLEMAN THAT JUST SPOKE.
I HAVE THE SAME CONCERN AS FAR AS THE TRAFFIC THAT WOULD
COME ABOUT AS FAR AS IN THAT AREA, THERE ARE GOING TO BE
KIDS WALKING.
RIGHT NOW, THE KIDS WALK TO AND FROM SCHOOL, FROM LOW MAX AS

WELL AS MIDDLETON, AS FAR AS FERRELL.
I KNOW THAT AS FAR AS THE KIDS WORKING FROM MIDDLETON, THEY
ALSO HAVE TO HAVE THE POLICE COME OUT AND ESPECIALLY IF THEY
START DIFFERENT FIGHTS OR WHATEVER, YOU HAVE THE KIDS THERE.
NOW YOU ARE PUTTING IN A COMPLEX MORE OR LESS, 15 TO 27,
IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT MORE ISSUES.
AS FAR AS THE FLOODING, THE FLOODING COMES ABOUT DEVON'S
HOUSE AS WELL AS MY HOME.
THEN, TOO, WHEN YOU PUT IN ALL OF THESE COMPLEXES, MORE OR
LESS, HOMES, THAT, OF COURSE, OUR TAXES ARE GOING TO GO UP.
I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN THE AREA FOR ABOUT 40 YEARS.
I WAS THERE WHEN THE HOME THAT WAS TORN DOWN AND THEY BOUGHT
OUT THE PROPERTY.
I WAS THERE.
ALL THE TIME THAT I'VE LIVED THERE, IT'S BEEN A HOME, NOT
MULTIPLE HOMES, 13 TO 27, I'M REALLY, REALLY CONCERNED.
IT'S GOING TO BE TOO MUCH.
TOO MUCH FOR THE AREA.
THAT'S MY CONCERN.
5:50:31PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS
ITEM?
APPLICANT?
5:50:41PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
COUNCIL, THAT'S WHY I WAS SAYING TO YOU
EARLIER THAT THE ISSUES THAT CAME UP ARE REALLY DEVELOPMENT

ISSUES AS OPPOSED TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED FOR A LAND USE DESIGNATION, A CHANGE.
AND THAT'S WHY WE SPENT AS MUCH TIME AS WE DID WITH THE
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF, AND ALSO WITH THE CITY STAFF AND
WITH THE CRA TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS COMPATIBLE BECAUSE THE
NEED FOR HOUSING IS CRITICAL.
THIS IS NOT APARTMENTS, RENTAL KIND OF HIGH-RISE THINGS OR
COMMERCIAL.
IT NEVER WAS INTENDED THAT WAY.
I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THE SPECIFICS OF THE DEVELOPMENT
PLAN ITSELF, BUT COMING FORWARD, YOU WILL SEE THAT IT
ACCOUNTS FOR THE BUFFERING.
IT ACCOUNTS FOR THE TRAFFIC.
IT ACCOUNTS FOR THE DRAINAGE.
IT ACCOUNTS FOR ALL THOSE THINGS THAT ARE NEIGHBORHOOD
PROTECTIVE MEASURES.
WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROJECT, WE DID START WITH SOME
DISCUSSIONS WITH NEIGHBORS TO TRY TO SEE WHAT THEY THOUGHT
WAS COMPATIBLE.
WE KNOW ABOUT THE SCHOOL.
THIS WILL ALSO ACCOMMODATE THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC TO AND
FROM THE SCHOOL.
SO, AGAIN, THOSE ARE ISSUES THAT WE CAN DISCUSS AND SHOW YOU
IN DETAIL SHOULD THIS BE APPROVED WHEN WE COME FORWARD WITH
A REAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

I CAN SHOW IT TO YOU, BUT IT'S NOT PART OF THIS
PRESENTATION.
AGAIN, THE DISCUSSIONS AND THE COMMENTS THAT I'VE HEARD THIS
EVENING ALL RELATE TO DEVELOPMENT AND SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT
AND NOT NECESSARILY TO WHETHER OR NOT AN R-20 DESIGNATION IS
COMPATIBLE WITH THE ADJACENT R-20 DESIGNATION.
DURING OUR DISCUSSION AND MEETINGS WITH THE NEIGHBORS, I
THINK THEY DISCOVERED, AND I'LL SHOW YOU THAT MANY -- MANY
OF THE HOUSES THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT ALREADY
HAVE THE R-20 DESIGNATION.
AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW IT.
I MEAN, WE POINTED IT OUT TO THEM.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF POINTED IT OUT TO THEM.
WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR IS TO BE ABLE TO INCREASE THE R-20
DESIGNATION INTO THIS AREA HERE, AND THIS WAS THE SUBSEQUENT
PLANNING COMMISSION INITIATED REQUEST THAT'S COMING FORWARD.
THE WOMAN THAT SPOKE TO YOU LIVES HERE.
SO WE DO HAVE MIXED SUPPORT AMONG THE NEIGHBORS.
WE ALSO HAVE CONCERNS, AND WE'LL BE ADDRESSING THOSE AS LONG
AS COUNCIL GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME FORWARD WITH A
REAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, BUT THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF PLANNING COMMISSION PRINCIPLES THAT ARE FOUND TO
BE CONSISTENT IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, OBJECTIVE -- LAND
USE OBJECTIVE 2.1, 2.11, MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL 9.6, 9.61,

9.62, AND IT GOES ON.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PAGES HERE THAT RELATE TO THAT LOW
DENSITY MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL, MODERATE DENSITY,
MULTIFAMILY.
ADEQUATE SITES TO ACCOMMODATE HOUSING FOUND CONSISTENT.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY PLANS, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.
AGAIN, THE KEEPERS OF THE GATE HAVE SAID TO YOU THAT THEY
SUPPORT THIS, AND THAT IT MEETS ALL THOSE CRITERIA.
WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
5:54:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ONE OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTERS MENTIONED
COMMERCIAL BEING BUILT.
5:54:21PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
NO, MA'AM, NOT EVEN UNDER CONSIDERATION.
YOU COULD HAVE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL IN AN R-20,
BUT YOU COULDN'T HAVE CG OR SOMETHING -- NOT TO MY
KNOWLEDGE.
THERE'S NO PLANS FOR THAT.
5:54:36PM >>EMILY PHELAN:
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
WHILE THE COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT OF CN WOULD BE ALLOWED
IN HERE, AT THE REZONING STAGE IT WOULD STILL HAVE TO MEET
THE LOCATIONAL CRITERIA FOR THE SITE.
5:54:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BUT BECAUSE OF WHERE THIS SITE IS, IT WOULD
NOT MEET LOCATIONAL CRITERIA.
5:55:00PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
IT'S ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET.
5:55:04PM >>DANNY COLLINS:
DANNY COLLINS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.

JUST TO CLARIFY, COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD -- NEIGHBORHOOD
COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL OFFICES CAN BE CONSIDERED
EXISTING RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION TODAY AS WELL AS THE
RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION AS PROPOSED.
BOTH WOULD HAVE TO MEET LOCATIONAL CRITERIA OF THE PLAN.
5:55:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BECAUSE OF THE RESIDENTIAL STREET.
I WANTED TO ASK BECAUSE THAT'S HOW YOU GET ANSWERS.
MY OTHER QUESTION IS, AND THIS CAN BE FOR PLANNING
COMMISSION STAFF AS WELL.
SOMEONE MENTIONED ANOTHER -- ANOTHER COMMENTER MENTIONED
SINGLE-FAMILY.
BUT ON THIS, WITH RESIDENTIAL 20, REALLY THE HIGHEST YOU
COULD DO IS SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED, CORRECT?
5:55:57PM >>EMILY PHELAN:
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF, CORRECT.
5:56:00PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT APARTMENTS.
THE MOST IT COULD BE IS SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED.
5:56:05PM >>EMILY PHELAN:
YES.
5:56:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
5:56:08PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE, VERY GOOD.
5:56:14PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
5:56:16PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:

MANISCALCO.

5:57:40PM >>STEVE MICHELINI:
WE'LL DO THAT.
THANK YOU.
5:57:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE'RE GOOD.
ITEM NUMBER 5.
5:58:05PM >>EMILY PHELAN:
EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
ITEM 5 IS TA/CPA 25-17.
IT'S LOCATED AT 4216 NORTH 26th STREET.
THIS ONE IS PUBLICLY INITIATED, SMALL SCALE.
IT'S APPROXIMATELY 0.25 ACRES.
THE REQUEST IS TO GO FROM RESIDENTIAL 10 TO RESIDENTIAL 20.
IT'S LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT.
THE EAST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE, THE EAST TAMPA ONE
NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE EAST TAMPA CRA.
AS THE LAST REQUEST IS OUTLINED IN BLUE, OUTLINE IN PINK IS
THE CURRENT REQUEST.
THIS REQUEST -- PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF DID INITIATE THIS
REQUEST AS A RESULT OF THE PRIVATELY INITIATED AMENDMENT
THAT YOU JUST HEARD.
JUST TO GO OVER THE SURROUNDING AREA AGAIN, IT IS PRIMARILY
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DETACHED.
AND THE FERRELL GIRLS PREPARATORY ACADEMY IS TO THE WEST.
THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SITE.

THIS IS LOOKING NORTHEAST AT THE NORTH 26th STREET AND
EAST GENESEE STREET.
THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH -- 26th
STREET AND EAST 38th STREET AT THE SURROUNDING AREA.
THIS IS LOOKING NORTHWEST ALONG NORTH 26th STREET AT
TA/CPA 25-15 AND THE SUBJECT SITE IS TO THE LEFT.
THIS IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED HERE REPRESENTED WITH THE
RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION, WHICH IS TO -- EXISTING TO THE
NORTH AND EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE.
TO THE SOUTH IS THE RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION AND FURTHER
TO THE WEST IS THE PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC DESIGNATION.
THIS IS THE PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP.
THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED HERE IN BLACK AND REPRESENTED
WITH THE RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION.
UNDER THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL 10 DESIGNATION, THE SITE CAN
BE CONSIDERED FOR TWO DWELLING UNITS OR JUST OVER 3,800
SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES IF LOCATIONAL CRITERIA IS
MET.
UNDER THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION, THE SUBJECT
SITE CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR FIVE DWELLING UNITS OR JUST OVER
5,000 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES IF LOCATIONAL
CRITERIA IS MET.
WHILE LOCATIONAL CRITERIA IS EXPANDED UPON IN THE
RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION, THE SITE WOULD STILL HAVE TO

MEET THE LOCATIONAL CRITERIA.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND THE SUBJECT SITE CONSISTENT
WITH THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES, POLICIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN.
IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA.
IT HAS A TRANSITION IN DENSITY, AND ENCOURAGE THE TRANSITION
IN DENSITY AND IT ENSURES AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING
WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF TAMPA'S PRESENT AND
FUTURE POPULATION.
WITH THAT, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THAT THE
PROPOSED MAP AMENDMENT BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS,
OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS.
6:01:16PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
HEARING NONE.
THANK YOU.
THERE'S NO APPLICANT FOR THIS.
I WAS SURPRISED HE WAS GETTING UP.
COMING UP AS A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC.
6:01:40PM >> STEVE MICHELINI.
AGAIN, WE WORKED WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF.
WE WEREN'T ABLE TO ASSEMBLE THAT PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IN
OUR ORIGINAL PETITION.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF TOOK THAT ON AS AN INITIATION

AS A PUBLICLY INITIATED COMPONENT.
I'M HERE SUPPORTING THAT.
IT MAKES GOOD SENSE.
IT COMPLEMENTS THE REST OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT MAY BE
COMING FORWARD TO YOU.
ANYWAY, WE DO NOT HAVE A FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY.
AND ANY -- IN ANY RESPECT.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE USEFUL TO COME UP AND SUPPORT THEIR
APPLICATION.
THANK YOU.
6:02:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
COME ON UP.
6:02:21PM >> I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS ONE.
CERLINE SACHIN.
I AM A NEIGHBOR OF THE PROPOSED.
I CONCUR WITH IT, TOO.
I THINK THE LOGISTICS WOULD BE SOLVED LATER ON.
THAT LAND COULD BE USED FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO LIVE IN.
I HAVE WAY TOO MUCH HOUSING FOR MYSELF.
6:02:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
COME ON UP.
START WITH YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
6:02:50PM >> HELLO.
DEVIN IZETT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS DID
NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS REZONING UNTIL I TOLD THEM ABOUT IT.
I GUESS THEY DIDN'T GET THE LETTER IN THE MAIL.
AND THEY COULDN'T BE HERE TO SPEAK ON IT TONIGHT BECAUSE OF
THE MEDICAL EMERGENCY BUT THEY REALLY WANTED TO COME AND
EXPRESS HOW IT WAS JUST KIND OF STRANGE THAT THE CITY
DECIDED TO REZONE THEIR PROPERTY.
THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T GET A LETTER OR ANYTHING.
I TOLD THEM ABOUT IT.
THEY WENT TO THE LIBRARY AND LEARNED ABOUT IT.

6:09:07PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
NO, I REMEMBER THAT BUILDING VERY WELL.
BIG SIGN WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER WAY UP ON TOP.
6:09:19PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT CONCLUDES.
APPLICANT, COME ON UP.
6:09:27PM >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. DEBARDELEBEN.
GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS MATTHEW BLYDENBURGH.
HERE WITH ME THIS EVENING IS MY COCOUNSEL BENJAMIN STRANZL
FROM FITZSIMMONS, HEWITT, STRANZL AND SPAID, AND WITH US ON
BEHALF OF OUR CLIENT, LA SETIMA CLUB, ARE TWO OF LA SETIMA'S

OWNERS AND OPERATORS, RYAN FOUCHE AND CORAL CARRASQUILLO.
AS YOU ALL KNOW, MR. DEBARDELEBEN JUST OUTLINED FOR
EVERYBODY, LA SETIMA IS HERE TONIGHT SEEKING UPGRADE OF
THEIR CURRENT ZONING DESIGNATION FOR THE SALE OF LIQUOR FOR,
AGAIN, CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES ONLY.
THEY ARE CURRENTLY ZONED FOR THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES, BEER AND WINE, CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES ONLY.
LA SETIMA IS LOCATED AT 1724 NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE, NOT TOO
FAR FROM HERE.
I IMAGINE SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT
THE BUILDING AT SOME POINT IN THE TIME IT HAS BEEN THERE.
LA SETIMA OPENED IN NOVEMBER OF 2022, BEGINNING AS A NATURAL
WINE BAR.
OVER TIME THEY BEGAN SERVING DIFFERENT ITEMS, INCLUDING
CRAFT BEER AND FOOD AND NONALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AS WELL.
TO DATE, LA SETIMA HAS HAD NO VIOLATIONS WITH THE DIVISION
OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AND TOBACCO OR OTHERWISE.
THEY HAVE HAD NO CRIMINAL ACTIONS BROUGHT AGAINST THE
BUSINESS.
TO OUR KNOWLEDGE AND BASED ON OUR REVIEW OF THE RECORD THERE
HAVE BEEN NO OBJECTIONS MADE TO THEIR APPLICATION THAT WE
ARE HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS THIS EVENING FOR THEIR ZONING
UPGRADE.
THEY HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT OF THEIR COMMUNITY AND THEIR
PATRONS WITH WHOM THEY MAINTAIN A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP.

IN FACT, AS SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE SEEN, MULTIPLE COMMUNITY
MEMBERS AND PATRONS WROTE THEIR SUPPORT IN PUBLIC COMMENT
THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
AS MR. DEBARDELEBEN DISCUSSED AND AS I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN ON
THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED WITH THIS APPLICATION, WE HAVE
REQUESTED WAIVERS.
THE FIRST TWO RELATE TO AN ISSUE WITH PARKING TO ALLOW AN
INCREASE OF COMPACT PARKING FROM 65 PERCENT TO 92 PERCENT.
AND ALSO TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED PARKING SPOTS FROM 18 TO 15.
NOW, GIVEN THE LOCATION OF LA SETIMA CLUB AND THE CLIENTELE
THAT THEY BRING IN, THE VAST MAJORITY OF ITS PATRONS AND THE
FOLKS THAT COME IN AND HAVE A DRINK AT LA SETIMA CLUB ARE
USUALLY ARRIVING THERE VIA THE YBOR CITY TROLLEY, VIA UBER,
VIA LYFT, SCOOTER AND FOOT TRAFFIC.
THE VAST MINORITY ARRIVE USING MOTOR VEHICLE, MID SIZE OR
LARGE SIZE MOTOR VEHICLE THAT THEY PARK ON THE PREMISES.
WITH THAT IN MIND, THOSE WAIVERS THAT WE REQUESTED REGARDING
PARKING WOULD NOT PUT ANY SIGNIFICANT STRAIN ON THE FLOW AND
FUNCTION OF THE BUSINESS FOR THOSE WHO DO CHOOSE TO DRIVE.
YOU HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT WE ARE REQUESTING A WAIVER OF THE
REQUIRED DISTANCE SEPARATION FROM 250 FEET TO 197 FEET FROM
OTHER AB SALES ESTABLISHMENTS.
AS WAS INCLUDED IN OUR RADIUS MAP, LA SETIMA IS NOT A
BUSINESS -- EXCUSE ME.
AS WE SHOWED ON OUR RADIUS MAP, THE ONLY OTHER AB DESIGNATED

FACILITY WITHIN 250 FEET IS THE COMMODORE.
THAT IS A LIVE SKETCH AND IMPROV COMEDY STUDIO THAT OPERATES
WITHIN THE SAME BUILDING THAT LA SETIMA IS HOUSED IN.
THEY ARE CURRENTLY AS WELL ONLY DESIGNATED FOR THE SALE OF
BEER AND WINE CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES.
THEY ARE NOT DESIGNATED FOR THE SALE OF LIQUOR.
AND ALSO NOTABLY, LA SETIMA'S CLIENTELE IS NOT A ROWDY AND
RAMBUNCTIOUS CROWD.
THEY ARE TYPICALLY A LAID-BACK, QUIET GATHERING.
LA SETIMA LATEST HOURS ARE OPEN ONLY UNTIL 12 A.M. TWO
NIGHTS OUT OF THE WEEK.
APPROVING THIS APPLICATION WOULD HAVE NO NEGATIVE IMPACT ON
THE COMMUNITY AND WOULD ONLY FURTHER ENHANCE THE LOCAL
BUSINESS DISTRICT.
THEY HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT OF THEIR NEIGHBORS THAT ARE ALL
HELD WITHIN THAT SAME BUILDING, INCLUDING THE COMMODORE THAT
WE TALKED ABOUT.
ON BEHALF OF LA SETIMA, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE
COUNCIL FOR YOUR TIME, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING.
I AM OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL.
THANK YOU.
6:13:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
6:13:28PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MY FIRST QUESTION IS, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
CHANGE THE SIGN, RIGHT?
IT'S STILL GOING TO SAY BAR.

BECAUSE THAT'S A GREAT LITTLE SCHTICK IN THE AREA.
I LOVE IT.
BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY E-MAILS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GOT INTO THE RECORD BECAUSE I DIDN'T
SEE THEM.
SO IF YOU HAVE A COPY OF THEM SO WE CAN ALL READ THEM AND
THEN PUT THEM IN THE RECORD, THAT WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE WE
DID NOT RECEIVE ANY.
THAT WAS MY ONLY THING THAT I HEARD THAT I JUST -- I WAS
LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
OH, THAT'S EVEN BETTER.
6:14:12PM >> MY APOLOGIES.
THAT IS ONE OF SEVERAL.
WE HAVE QUITE A FEW.
6:14:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE WHOLE BUNCH, GIVE
THEM TO MR. SHELBY, WE'LL READ THEM ALL AND PASS THEM IN.
APPRECIATE THAT.
MY ONLY OTHER QUESTION HAS TO DO WITH THE SITE PLAN.
THE SITE PLAN, DOES IT HAVE HOURS OF OPERATION ON THE SITE
PLAN?
6:14:39PM >>LEO DEBARDELEBEN:
DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, YES,
COUNCILWOMAN.
THE HOURS OF OPERATION DUE TO IT BEING A COMMERCIAL MIXED
USE CORRIDOR IS CHAPTER 14, WHICH IS WHAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY
OPERATING UNDER.

6:14:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
I THOUGHT I'D ASK.
THANK YOU.
6:14:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
6:14:54PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I HAD THE SAME QUESTION ABOUT HOURS, THOUGH.
YOU SAID THE BAR CLOSES AT 12.
THE NEIGHBORS IN THE LARGER AREA WANT TO REDUCE THE IMPACT
OF IT BEING AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT OR A BAR DISTRICT.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE IT MIDNIGHT OR EARLIER ON WEEKDAYS?
6:15:15PM >> COUNCILMAN, ACTUALLY TO THAT EFFECT, I HAVE THE FULL
HOURS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.
THEY ARE CLOSED ON MONDAYS.
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY THEY CLOSE AT 10 P.M.
THEY CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT ONLY ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS.
AND AGAIN CLOSE AT 10 P.M. ON SUNDAYS.
6:15:32PM >>BILL CARLSON:
IS IT POSSIBLE INSTEAD OF CHAPTER 14 TO
LIMIT IT TO 11 ON WEEKDAYS AND MIDNIGHT ON WEEKENDS.
6:15:39PM >> TALKING ABOUT FORMAL LIMITATION BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY
WITHIN THOSE HOURS.
6:15:43PM >>BILL CARLSON:
JUST FOR THE LIQUOR PART OF IT.
6:15:52PM >> THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM ON OUR PART.
WE'RE FINE WITH IT.
6:15:57PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
CAN I MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT?
TO JUST PUT MIDNIGHT SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
SEVEN DAYS A WEEK JUST IN CASE THEY DECIDE TO OPEN ON A

MONDAY.
6:16:09PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING EARLIER ABOUT
NOISE.
6:16:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THEY HAVE NO OUTDOOR SPACE.
6:16:15PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THIS IS MORE LIKE ENCORE.
6:16:18PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WHAT HAPPENS AS YOU START MAKING EXCEPTIONS
AND THEN YOU END UP WITH --
6:16:24PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THERE'S LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE THERE.
6:16:26PM >>BILL CARLSON:
NOT YET.
6:16:27PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THIS WOULD BE IT.
IT IS A RESTAURANT.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THERE.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GO THERE, COMEDY CLUB IS THERE.
JUST ONE BUILDING.
6:16:37PM >>BILL CARLSON:
IF YOU GUYS DON'T AGREE, THAT'S FINE.
6:16:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I WOULD GIVE THEM THE OPTION TO KEEP THE
FLEXIBILITY FOR THEIR USE.
6:16:44PM >>BILL CARLSON:
BECAUSE IF IT'S OPEN UNTIL THREE, THE
PROBLEM IS IT CARRIES WITH THE SITE PLAN.
SOMEBODY LESS BENEVOLENT TAKES IT OVER, PARTYING UNTIL 3:00
IN THE MORNING.
6:16:54PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY, YOU MAY WANT TO ASK
FOR A CLARIFICATION OF STAFF BASED ON THE PRESENTATION YOU
HAD MENTIONED RESTAURANT.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT WILL BE DESIGNATED AS A RESTAURANT.

YOU SAID A SMALL VENUE.
6:17:09PM >>LEO DEBARDELEBEN:
SMALL VENUE.
THEY HAVE FOOD SERVICE, BUT SMALL VENUE.
NOT RESTAURANT.
6:17:16PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THEY SAID THEY WERE OKAY WITH IT.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS WANT TO DO ON THAT?
6:17:22PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I THINK IT'S FINE TO DO MIDNIGHT.
IF SOMETHING WANTS TO CHANGE, THEY CAN COME BACK AND ASK FOR
HOURS.
BUT IF THEY ARE FINE WITH IT.
MY ONLY CONCERN IS I DON'T WANT TO LIMIT YOU.
I DON'T WANT TO PUT YOU'RE NOT OPEN ON MONDAY.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU WANT TO OPEN ON MONDAY?
THAT'S WHY I THINK MIDNIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD IS FINE.
THAT WAY IF YOU DECIDE TO STAY OPEN ON ANOTHER DAY.
I DON'T WANT TO PIGEONHOLE THEM UNTIL 10.
6:17:48PM >> I UNDERSTAND COUNCILMAN CARLSON'S CONCERNS THAT IF IT
DOES GET PASSED ALONG, IT PASSES WITH THE PROPERTY.
WE'RE OKAY WITH MIDNIGHT DESIGNATION FOR SEVEN DAYS IF
THAT'S OKAY WITH COUNCIL.
6:17:59PM >>BILL CARLSON:
COULD I ASK ONE MORE INDULGENCE?
CHARLIE, COULD YOU PRONOUNCE THE NAME OF THE RESTAURANT?
6:18:09PM >> LA SETIMA
[NOT SPEAKING ENGLISH]
6:18:23PM >> IT'S CALLED LA SETIMA CLUB.

6:18:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WHAT IS THE NAME OUTSIDE OF YOUR OFFICE ON
THE BIG SIGN?
6:18:40PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
MY OFFICE?
LA SETIMA.
[NOT SPEAKING ENGLISH]
6:18:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THE DAIS.
6:18:59PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WHEN I HEAR IT PRONOUNCED A DIFFERENT WAY --
6:19:06PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THAT WAS IN SPAIN.
6:19:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT
WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE?
IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS
ISSUE?

6:28:48PM >>BILL CARLSON:
YOU SAW THE TRAFFIC IS HORRIBLE IN DOWNTOWN.
AGAIN, WE'VE HAD STAFF BEFORE US FOUR, FIVE TIMES IN THE

LAST FEW YEARS, ASKING THEM TO STOP INTERFERING WITH
TRAFFIC.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT LAW WE HAVE TO PASS OR SOMETHING, BUT THE
ADMINISTRATION IS NOT LISTENING.
THE MAYOR IS PERSONALLY E-MAILING PEOPLE SAYING -- ON
HARBOUR ISLAND SAYING IT'S YOUR FAULT -- IT'S HARBOUR
ISLAND'S FAULT FOR BEING AGAINST MY RED LIGHTS WHICH WE KNEW
WOULDN'T WORK IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WE NEED TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION.
IF YOU ALL CAN SOMEHOW NEGOTIATE SOMETHING WITH
ADMINISTRATION THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
OTHERWISE, I THINK WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PASS LAWS TO
PROHIBIT THEM FROM SHUTTING DOWN ROADS.
IT'S NOT JUST AFFECTING DOWNTOWN.
DOWNTOWN IS BIG AND DEVELOPED NOW, AND IT'S CRUSHING
DOWNTOWN AND HARBOUR ISLAND BUT ALSO AFFECTING ALL OF SOUTH
TAMPA BECAUSE IT'S AFFECTING BAYSHORE AND PLATT STREET AND
ALL AROUND YOUR HOUSE.
WE'VE GOT TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THE ADMINISTRATION THROWS UP THEIR HANDS.
WE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
THE PROBLEM IS THEY ARE SHUTTING DOWN THEIR ROAD FOR TOO
LONG TO ALLOW PEDESTRIANS TO CROSS.
EVEN VIK BHIDE SAID TO US ON THE RECORD YEARS AGO THAT IF
THEY JUST LET THE LIGHTS GO AND DIDN'T INTERFERE, THAT IT

WOULD ALL WORK FINE.
WE NEED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE.
06:30:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SECOND.
IT IS THE PEDESTRIAN VEHICLE MANAGEMENT AT THE INTERSECTION
OF FRANKLIN AND --
06:30:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
EXCEPT WHAT WE ARE HEARING, THE PEDESTRIANS
ARE MAKING -- DECIDING FOR THEMSELVES TO GO.
THAT IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.
06:30:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE NEED MORE PRESENCE DOWN THERE TO MANAGE
THE PROCESS.
06:30:31PM >>BILL CARLSON:
TAKE OUT -- I TOLD BRANDON EARLIER TODAY.
I THINK HE IS ON VACATION, BUT WE CAN TAKE OUT THAT
CROSSWALK.
06:30:38PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT WON'T STOP PEOPLE.
06:30:39PM >>BILL CARLSON:
YOU CAN PUT UP BIGGER WALLS LIKE THE REST OF
IT, BUT IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO SHUT DOWN DOWNTOWN BECAUSE
WE ARE JUST LETTING PEOPLE --
06:30:49PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DEFINITELY NEED SOMETHING THERE.
PROBLEMATIC.
I DON'T KNOW WITH THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT WITH THE
PEDESTRIANS.
BUT I WATCH ALL THE TIME.
I RESIST THE URGE TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR AND THE PEOPLE
MANAGING TRAFFIC TO SAY, YOU GUYS DO BETTER.
THEY CAN'T SEE IT.
THE GUYS MANAGING THE TRAFFIC, THEY CAN'T SEE THROUGH THE
CONVENTION CENTER AND HOW IT'S BACKED UP FOR MILES.
THEY DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENS.
COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG, ANY NEW BUSINESS?
06:31:17PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
I ALREADY STATED EARLIER AND JUST FOR THE
PUBLIC, I WILL MAKE THE MOTION ON MAY 7 FOR THE HONORARY

06:31:32PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
I DIDN'T MAKE IT YET.
I AM MAKING IT ON MAY 7.
JUST AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
OH, NO, I DIDN'T DO IT YET.
I MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
I ALREADY SENT A MEMO.
YOU KNOW, I DO A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF.
I DID ABOUT 15 THINGS SINCE OUR LAST COUNCIL MEETING, AND I
WANTED TO POINT OUT A FEW OF THEM.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE DONE THE TASTE OF WATER STREET.
IT WAS ACTUALLY A LOT OF FUN.
I MET A STUDENT WORKING THE EVENT FROM ARMWOOD OR PLANT HIGH
SCHOOL, BUT THEY HAVE SOME PROGRAM SET UP WHERE THEY LET
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS COME AND WORK THE EVENT.
WE DID THAT.
SULPHUR SPRINGS MUSEUM CELEBRATED THEIR 20th ANNIVERSARY.
ALSO, I DID A TOUR OF LIVE OAKS NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH WAS
AWESOME.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, I HAD THE EAST TAMPA TOWN HALL, WHICH
WENT ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
WE HAD ABOUT 140 PEOPLE THERE.
THE PANEL WAS GREAT.
PEOPLE WERE ASKING WHEN I WAS GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE.
THAT WAS VERY EXCITING.
I HAVE A BUNCH OF THINGS ON HERE, BUT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT
A FEW OF THOSE THINGS.
06:32:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
06:32:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
AS YOU MAY HAVE SEEN, THE NEWS THAT CAME OUT IN BOTH "THE
BUSINESS JOURNAL" AND THE "TIMES" RECENTLY, HILLSBOROUGH
COUNTY DOES NOT SEEM LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE THEIR
DEADLINE FOR THE RAYS.
WE RECEIVED SOME CORRESPONDENCE TODAY FROM OUR ATTORNEY.
SO I MOVE -- SO I JUST DON'T KNOW THAT HOLDING
SPECIAL-CALLED WORKSHOP ON MAY 5 IS PRUDENT AT THIS POINT.
SO THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE WE HAVE TO DO IT.
SO I MOVE TO CANCEL AND REMOVE THE MAY 5, 2026, RAYS
SPECIALLY CALLED WORKSHOP FROM THE CALENDAR AND RESCHEDULE
IT FOR A LATER DATE AS WE GET CLOSER TO A VOTE.
06:33:20PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT INFORMATION IN THE PAPER IS NOT
CORRECT.
THEY ARE ABOUT 36 HOURS OUT-OF-DATE FOR WHAT IS ACTUALLY
GOING ON.
06:33:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OUR OFFICE CALLED SCOTT STEADY BEFORE WE DID
THIS, AND HE RECOMMENDED THAT WE NOT CONTINUE WITH THIS.
06:33:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
06:33:36PM >>BILL CARLSON:
I DON'T KNOW IF I AM GOING TO VOTE FOR OR
AGAINST IT.
BUT I CALLED THE RAYS, AND THEY WANT THE INFORMATION TO GET
OUT THERE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, AND I THINK IT IS
IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO GIVE US FEEDBACK.
I THINK IT IS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY.
THE CITY HAS BEEN VERY LITTLE INVOLVED IN THIS ANYWAY AND I
ASKED THAT THE COUNTY SHOULD PRESENT INSTEAD OF THE CITY,
BUT ANYWAY, THERE IS INFORMATION OUT THERE.
LET'S HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC.
WE CAN ALWAYS HAVE ANOTHER MEETING, BUT LET'S LET OFF SOME
STEAM BECAUSE THE PUBLIC FOR OR AGAINST IS REALLY EXCITED TO
SAYSOMETHING.
06:34:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AGAIN, THE REASON -- THIS IS LITERALLY OUR
LAST CHANCE.
IF WE DO IT, I AM WORRIED THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY
MORE INFORMATION AND THEN WE ARE SIMPLY GOING TO HAVE --
06:34:19PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IF NOTHING ELSE, AT LEAST THE RAYS PEOPLE
CAN COME AND THE CITY PEOPLE CAN COME AND TELL EVERYBODY
WHAT THEY ARE HEARING.
COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG.
06:34:27PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU SAY THIS IS OUR
LAST CHANCE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
06:34:32PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A MEETING NEXT WEEK.
WE CAN'T CANCEL IT BECAUSE IT IS LITERALLY THE NEXT TIME WE
WILL SEE EACH OTHER IS MAY 5 HERE.
IF WE WANTED TO CANCEL IT, THIS WILL BE OUR ONLY
OPPORTUNITY.
AND SO, AGAIN, I JUST DON'T WANT US TO MEET AND NOT HAVE
ANYTHING TO SAY AND HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN BECAUSE
THIS WILL BE A LONG MEETING.
06:34:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YEAH, BUT I DON'T -- LET'S SAY
HYPOTHETICALLY THAT IT IS GETTING DELAYED.
IT SEEMS LIKE -- OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE BEEN VERY INVOLVED, AND I
PUSH MYSELF INTO THIS AND GOTTEN A LOT OF INFORMATION, MORE
THAN MOST.
06:35:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE TOO.
06:35:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SO WHY DON'T WE SHARE THAT WITH EVERYBODY
ELSE.
ALL THIS INFORMATION -- AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE EVERYBODY IN
THE ROOM AT THE SAME TIME.
WE HAVE THE RAYS PEOPLE HERE.
THE CITY PEOPLE WILL BE HERE.
EVERYBODY HERE SHARING IT WITH THE PUBLIC.
THAT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD IDEA.
06:35:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BUT WE HAVE -- I HAVE WAY MORE QUESTIONS THAN
I HAVE ANSWERS.
AND I AM JUST AFRAID THAT THE PUBLIC IS GOING TO COME TO
EXPECT ANSWERS AND NOT GET THEM.
SO THAT IS KIND OF WHERE I HAVE BEEN.
06:35:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT WILL BE BAD ON THE ORGANIZATION IF
THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS.
06:35:40PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
I HAVE A QUESTION IF I MAY, MARTIN SHELBY,
CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
DO WE HAVE A COMMITMENT OF WHO IS COMING AND WHO IS NOT
COMING?
06:35:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
COUNTY IS NOT COMING.
06:35:52PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
HOW ABOUT THE CITY?
06:35:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THE CITY IS COMING.
06:35:55PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ALREADY.
WE HAVE A FULL --
06:35:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
A WHOLE LIST AND EVERYBODY IS CONFIRMED.
06:36:02PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
HOW LONG IS THIS SCHEDULE SCHEDULED TO
LAST?
06:36:06PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
TIME FRAMES ON EACH PRESENTATION.
BUT WITHOUT PUBLIC COMMENT, WELL BE HOUR AND A HALF.
WITH PUBLIC COMMENT.
06:36:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SIX TO SEVEN HOURS.
06:36:16PM >>NAYA YOUNG:
WHY DON'T WE JUST SET A TIME.
06:36:19PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
AGAIN, I AM WORRIED OF HAVING NOTHING TO -- I
WATCH THE COUNTY PRESENTATION, AND IT DIDN'T GIVE ANY NEW
INFORMATION.
06:36:31PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MAY I -- FORGIVE ME FOR INTERJECTING, BUT I
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM SCOTT STEADY ABOUT HIS
POSITION YESTERDAY.
AND THEY -- THEY, I BELIEVE, ARE JUST FIRST BEGINNING THE
PROCESS OF NEGOTIATIONS.
AND CERTAINLY, HE IS NOT HERE, AND I CAN'T TAKE A POSITION FOR
HIM, BUT FRANKLY, I DON'T KNOW FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE WHAT
EFFECT HAVING THIS MEETING WOULD HAVE ON THE PROCESS OF
NEXT.
IT MAY HAVE AN AFFECT, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
06:37:07PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THE CITY IS WILLING TO BE HERE AND THE
RAYS ARE WILLING TO BE HERE.
06:37:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM NOT GOING TO BE WILLING TO VOTE BY MAY
7.
06:37:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE ARE NOT SCHEDULING A VOTE.
THIS IS JUST WORKSHOP.
THIS IS JUST HAVING A DISCUSSION.
06:37:24PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THE REASON WE SCHEDULED ON MAY 5 BECAUSE WE
WERE GOING TO HAVE A VOTE ON MAY 7.
06:37:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I DOUBT SERIOUSLY THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
06:37:33PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IF Y'ALL STILL WANT TO DO IT, THAT IS FINE.
I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT IF THERE WASN'T.
SO NEVER MIND.
06:37:40PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I AM NOT OPPOSED TO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
-- SORRY, AM I SPEAKING OUT OF TURN.
06:37:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
GO AHEAD, COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
06:37:48PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THE COUNTY HAS MORE FINANCIALLY, AND WE
SHOULD BE THE SECOND BITE OF THE APPLE, THE NOT THE FIRST.
06:37:57PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
THE MOTION MAKER WILL PRESENT THAT.
OKAY WITH THE SECONDER.
COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
06:38:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THERE IS NOT SUPPORT TO MOVE FORWARD
WITH THE MOTION, SO I WILL HAVE TO AGREE TO PULL IT.
06:38:09PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I -- I WILL STILL REGISTER EVEN THOUGH I AM
THE ONE THAT MADE THIS MOTION, I AM STILL GOING TO REGISTER
THAT I AM CONCERNED WE ARE GOING TO END THIS AND HAVE -- WE
WILL BE BACK WHERE WE WERE.
AND THAT'S THE WAY I STRONGLY FEEL, BECAUSE WE HAD MULTIPLE
WEEKS OF ASKING FOR MORE INFORMATION AND NOT GETTING IT,
BECAUSE THE RAYS HAVE BEEN VERY CONCRETE THAT THEY ARE NOT
MOVING.
SO ANYWAY, I HAVE A SECOND MOTION.
I MOVE TO HOLD SPACE ON JUNE 25 DURING THAT WORKSHOP FOR THE
SECOND ROUND OF THE CONVERSATION ON THE TREE TRUST FUND AND
THE N-RACK.
I WILL HAVE MORE SPECIFIC MOTIONS LATER, AND I WANT TO MAKE
SURE I HAVE THE SPACE THAT GOES ALONG WITH THE SOUND STUDY.
I THINK BOTH OF THOSE GOING INTO THEIR SECOND PHASE WILL GO
IN THAT SPACE.
YES, THERE IS NOTHING THERE.
06:38:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SAY THAT IT WILL BE JUST THOSE ITEMS.
06:39:01PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WILL MAKE THAT AS A SECONDARY MOTION.
06:39:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED.
06:39:08PM >>CLERK:
WHO SECONDED IT?
06:39:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
06:39:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I MOVE NOT TO TAKE ANY MORE ITEMS FOR THE
JUNE WORKSHOP.
06:39:19PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:

HELENE AND MILTON.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO THAT?
06:40:21PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE A QUESTION, ARE THEY GOING TO TELL ME
WHAT KIND OF MONEY WE ARE GETTING?
06:40:26PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
WHY IT IS COMING TO US.
