IF YOU WILL BE SPEAKING AT ALL THIS EVENING, PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. >>THE CLERK: DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE IS THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT. WE'LL START WITH ITEM NUMBER 3. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. ERIC COTTON FROM THE CITY OF TAMPA DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION OFFICE. I HAVE BEEN SWORN. FIRST CASE ON THE AGENDA IS SU 2-24-01, THE REQUESTING IS SPECIAL USE 2 FOR AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 610 ZACK STREET. ZONING IS CBD 1, CENTRAL BUSINESS 1. APPLICANT IS K2 TPA OFFICE LLC REPRESENTED BY TRUETT GARDNER. REQUEST IS LOCATED IN THE BLOCK POLK STREET TO THE NORTH, ZACK TO THE SOUTH, PIERCE TO THE EAST AND MORGAN STREET TO THE WEST. AT THIS POINT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO EMILY PHELAN FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES MA'AM. >>EMILY PHELAN: EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, THE CENTRAL BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT CENTER AND THE DOWNTOWN -- THE TAMPA DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S LOCATED WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA, SPECIFICALLY EVACUATION ZONE C. THE SURROUNDING AREA IS CHARACTERIZED BY COMMERCIAL AND SEMI-PUBLIC USES. THE MARIAN TRANSIT CENTER IS LOCATED FIVE BLOCKS NORTHWEST JUST OUTSIDE OF THE MAP. AND THE TAMPA FIRE STATION IS LOCATED HERE AND THE -- IS LOCATED HERE AMONGST OTHER COMMERCIAL USES AS WELL. AND FURTHER TO THE NORTH UP HERE JUST OUT OF THE AERIAL IS THE OAK LAWN CEMETERY AND THE PERRY HARVEY PARK. THIS IS THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE. LOCATED HERE. IT'S SURROUNDED BY THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION. THE RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE UP HERE IS THE CEMETERY AND PARK. THE REQUEST IS TO ADD AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE AS A USE TO AN EXISTING MIXED USE BUILDING. WITHIN THE DESIGNATION OF THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, CONSIDERATION OF HIGH INTENSITY, DENSITY, HIGH-RISE COMMERCIAL MAJOR OFFICE AND REGIONAL SERVING COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BE CONSIDERED. WITHIN THIS DESIGNATION, THERE IS NO LIMIT ON RESIDENTIAL OR NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT DENSITY OR INTENSITY. THE ZONING REGULATIONS STATE THAT AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE WITHIN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT MUST BE LOCATED NORTH OF HARRISON STREET AND BE INTEGRATED AS PART OF A RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE STRUCTURE. THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING TO WAIVE THE REQUIREMENT OF A RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT AS NO RESIDENTIAL USES ARE PROPOSED OR EXISTING. THE RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT IS CRITICAL AND THE WAIVER IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE DIRECTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE MARION TRANSIT CENTER IS FIVE BLOCKS NORTHWEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE. THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT IS ALSO IDENTIFIED AS A BUSINESS CENTER WITH SPECIFIC POLICY LANGUAGE REGARDING THE PROMOTION OF TRANSIT USE. AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE WOULD NOT TYPICALLY BE DEEMED AS A USE THAT IS SUPPORTIVE OF TRANSIT. THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING A WAIVER TO THE REQUIREMENT OF THE AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE TO BE LOCATED NORTH OF HARRISON STREET AS THE SUBJECT SITE IS SOUTH OF HARRISON STREET. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUPPORTS MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AROUND MAJOR TRANSIT STATIONS THAT PROVIDES RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES. THIS REQUEST CONSISTING OF PREDOMINANTLY COMMERCIAL USES MOVES AWAY FROM THIS POLICY DIRECTION WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. OVERALL, THE PROPOSED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT IS INCONSISTENT -- NOT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT -- THE SPECIAL USE IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE POLICY DIRECTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IF IT IS APPROVED, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING THE F.A.R. BE LISTED ON THE SITE PLAN. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. YES SIR. >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. WHAT EMILY JUST SPOKE ABOUT, THIS IS AN EXISTING TEN STORY BUILDING ROUGHLY IT 26,000 SQUARE FEET -- 226,000 SQUARE FEET. THE USE ON FIRST FLOOR IS BAR AND RESTAURANT USE. FLOORS 2 THROUGH 10 ARE A SERIES OF OFFICES. THE APPLICANT IS TRYING TO DO AN ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE SITE. ROUGHLY 90,000 SQUARE FEET OF THE BUILDING, ABOUT 40%, WILL BE USED FOR THE AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE. AGAIN, YOU JUST SAW THIS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S PERSPECTIVE. AGAIN, THIS IS THE BUILDING IN QUESTION. THE SITE, THERE IS SURFACE PARKING ON THE PROPERTY. THE BUILDING ITSELF RUNS PROPERTY LINE TO PROPERTY LINE WITH SERVICE PARKING IN THE REAR. I DO HAVE SOME PHOTOS TO SHOW JUST OF THE EXISTING BUILDING. THIS IS THE VIEW FROM POLK. THIS IS THE BUILDING IN QUESTION. THEY ARE ALREADY GETTING READY FOR THE FOOTBALL SEASON. BUILDING IN QUESTION AGAIN, THE VIEW FROM MORGAN AND POLK. THIS IS I BELIEVE THE OLD BUS STATION ACROSS THE STREET, GREYHOUND STATION. AGAIN, MORE PHOTOS OF THE PROPERTY. THE VIEW FROM THE BUILDING LOOKING BACK AT MORGAN AND ZACK STREET. JUST SOME OF THE SURROUNDING USES. THE CAR REFURB ESTABLISHMENT. THE BUILDING AND LOOKING BACK TOWARDS COUNTY CENTER. AS EMILY INDICATED, THERE ARE SOME REVISIONS THAT NEED TO BE DONE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING IN ADDITION TO THE REQUEST THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD ZONING STAFF ALSO HAD SOME PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING IF COUNCIL IS INCLINED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST. THE REVISION SHEET I'LL PROVIDE TO YOU TO COUNCIL IN A MOMENT HAS ALREADY BEEN PROVIDD TO THE APPLICANT. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? NO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPLICANT, COME ON UP. >> TRUETTE GARDNER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. WITH ME IS ADDIE CLARK. I'LL BE BRIEF. WE HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THIS FROM THE NOTICES THAT WENT OUT. WE HAVE FULL STAFF SUPPORT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PLANNING COMMISSION. BUT THIS IS A UNIQUE PROJECT IN THAT IT'S A VERY UNIQUE BUILDING AS WHAT YOU SAW FROM ERIC'S PRESENTATION, WE HAVE VERY LIMITED WINDOWS. IF WE WERE TO DEFINE AN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE, BERLIN BUNKER STYLE. SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO USE THE EXISTING BUILDING. IT'S A SPECIAL USE SO IF AND WHEN THIS SITE IS REDEVELOPED, WHICH HOPEFULLY IT WILL OVER TIME AS DEVELOPMENT MOVES NORTH THROUGH DOWNTOWN, IT WOULD BE RELOOKED AT AND THE SPECIAL USE FOR THE STORAGE WOULD -- THAT'S NOT THE INTENTION LONG TERM FOR THE SITE BUT THE OWNER IS TRYING TO BRING SOME LIFE INTO WHAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE. THEY ACTIVATED THE GROUND FLOOR AS ERIC MENTIONED. THEY SPENT CONSIDERABLE SUM AND RELOCATED THEIR OFFICE TO THE BUILDING. THEY'VE GOT AN ABUNDANCE OF SPACE THAT ABSOLUTELY HAS NO WINDOWS. I KNOW FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION STANDPOINT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE RESIDENTIAL HERE, BUT FROM A FLORIDA BUILDING CODE STANDPOINT, YOU CANNOT HAVE BEDROOMS OR CLOSETS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WINDOW. SO THEY JUST WANT TO USE THIS SITE. STORAGE IS NEEDED GIVEN ALL THE RESIDENTIAL THAT'S COME DOWNTOWN TO THE CHANNEL DISTRICT, TO GASWORX AND EVERYWHERE ELSE. THINK THIS IS A VERY SUITABLE PLACE. WITH THAT, I'LL TURN THINGS OVER TO ADDIE CLARK WHO JUST HAS A FEW SLIDES TO FURTHER DEMONSTRATE THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> GOOD EVENING. ADDIE CLARK, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. WE'LL GO THROUGH THESE PRETTY QUICKLY. AGAIN, ERIC DID A GREAT JOB OF GOING THROUGH THE LOCATION OF THE SITE. JUST OVER AN ACRE. CURRENT DEVELOPMENT BEING BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL OFFICE AND BAR AND RESTAURANT ON THAT FIRST FLOOR TO ACTIVATE THE GROUND FLOOR. AGAIN, THE EXISTING SITE, I THINK WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH IT JUST BEING DOWN THE ROAD. AND THEN THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TODAY IS THE ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE. CURRENTLY, MOST OF THE STRUCTURE IS OFFICE BUT THE FIRST FLOOR IS THAT ACTIVATION, PART OF THE PREVIOUS APPROVAL. THE REQUEST IS TO ALLOW UP TO 40% OF THE UPPER FLOORS TO BE THAT AIR CONDITIONED SELF-STORAGE USE. GIVEN THE CHANGE OF DEMAND IN OFFICE USE TODAY AND THE STRUCTURE'S UNIQUE ALMOST WINDOWLESS DESIGN WE THINK THIS IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE LOCATION DOWNTOWN BETWEEN COMMERCIAL USES. AND SELF-STORAGE IS ALSO A VERY LOW TRAFFIC-GENERATING USE WHICH WE THINK IS APPROPRIATE HERE. JUST BRIEFLY THROUGH THE WAIVERS THAT WE ARE REQUESTING THERE ARE TWO. THE FIRST ONE BEING THE USE OF AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE WITHOUT RESIDENTIAL AS A USE. AS WE DISCUSSED THIS IS THE ADAPTIVE REUSE OF A STRUCTURE THAT SIMPLY WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR RESIDENTIAL HERE. AND THEN ALSO THE SECOND WAIVER IS TO ALLOW AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE SOUTH OF HARRISON STREET WHICH WE ARE ABOUT THREE BLOCKS SOUTH OF, ABOUT .16 MILES. AND WE THINK THAT THIS LOCATION IS ACTUALLY REALLY APPROPRIATE. YOU CAN SEE WITH THE YELLOW STAR AND THE RED STREET BEING HARRISON STREET BECAUSE THEY ARE UBIQUITOUS RESIDENTIAL USES AROUND. YOU CAN SEE HERE BOTH PLANNED AND EXISTING FOR THE FUTURE. THE RATIO OF EXISTING SELF-STORAGE COMPARED TO RESIDENTIAL, FUTURE AND PLANNED, IS PRETTY LIMITED. WE BELIEVE THIS IS APPROPRIATE GIVEN OUR LOCATION MORE CENTRAL HARRISON STREET. WE DID, AS MENTIONED, HAVE ALMOST ALL STAFF APPROVAL. AND THEN WE BELIEVE THIS IS CONSISTENT ACTUALLY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BECAUSE IT IS AN ADAPTIVE REUSE OF AN EXISTING STRUCTURE UNDERUTILIZED AND QUITE LIMITED IN TERMS OF WHAT IT COULD BE. IN ADDITION TO THE DECREASE IN OFFICE DEMAND, THE INCREASE IN STORAGE DEMAND SUPPORTS THIS REQUEST. THANK YOU. WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? NO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I DON'T SEE ANYBODY REGISTERED. WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? YOU WANT TO READ IT. OKAY. GO AHEAD. >>LYNN HURTAK: I'M NOT GOING TO READ IT, ACTUALLY. I'M GOING TO OPPOSE IT BECAUSE, QUITE FRANKLY, WE SHOULDN'T BE BUILDING -- YOU ALL APPROVED ONE STORAGE UNIT DOWNTOWN AND I KNEW THAT WAS JUST OPENING THE FLOODGATES. I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. I APPRECIATE THAT THERE'S ADAPTIVE REUSE, BUT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW BUILDINGS DOWNTOWN THAT HAVE NO WINDOWS, INCLUDING RIGHT NEXT DOOR AT TMOB. WE DON'T WANT TO TURN THAT INTO SELF-STORAGE. IF WE OPEN THE FLOODGATES, IT WILL GET WORSE AND WORSE. I DON'T THINK LOW TRAFFIC USE IS A PLUS IN THE DOWNTOWN CORE. I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO MOVE TO DENY SU -- IS THIS AN -- YEAH, SU2-24-01 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 610 EAST ZACK STREET DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE APPLICANT TO MEET ITS BURDEN OF PROOF TO PROVIDE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AS CONDITIONED AND SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CITY CODE. MAINLY THAT I AGREE WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND ALL OF THEIR OBJECTIONS, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS USE IS COMPATIBLE AND CONTIGUOUS WITH THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OR IS A PUBLIC NECESSITY. THIS USE DOES NOT CONFORM WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND IT WILL ESTABLISH YET ANOTHER PRESS DEBT TO ENCOURAGE MORE OF THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE A SECOND? WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. WE'LL TAKE -- YOU WANT TO SPEAK? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS ONE OF THE ONES I STRUGGLED WITH A LOT. WE DID APPROVE THE OTHER STORAGE UNIT. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS ONE AND THE OTHER ONE, THE ONE WAS ADJACENT ON THE SAME CITY BLOCK OF HOUSING. OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THERE WERE TWO OWNERS, IT KIND OF FELT LIKE IT WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DIRECTION -- OR WHERE THE CITY WANTED TO GO AS FAR AS PLANNING. THIS AREA OF DOWNTOWN WE TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME AS FAR AS THE DEVELOPMENT WE WANT TO SEE AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO DOWN THERE. IT'S ALMOST A BLACK SLATE WITH THE FUTURE HOPEFULLY RE-ENVISIONING THE MARION STREET AND OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS HAPPENING. I KIND OF CONCUR WITH COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING THAT PEDESTRIAN PEOPLE ORIENTED TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE IN THE URBAN CORE. WHILE I APPRECIATE -- I APPRECIATE THE APPLICANT'S NEED BECAUSE OF THE -- OBVIOUSLY, IT'S DEFINITELY A WEIRD BUILDING. IT'S ACTUALLY A WEIRD BUILDING. I FEEL AS WE'RE REINVENTING THE CITY IT'S NOT THE DIRECTION WE SHOULD GO AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE LAND USE AND WE HAVE THIS PLANNING AND THE VISION OF WHAT WE WANT TO SEE FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA. THERE'S NOT ENOUGH COMPELLING EVIDENCE FOR ME TO SAY THAT IT'S WORTH WAIVING OUR PLANNING RULES FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA AND THE URBAN CORE TO APPROVE THIS. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: YEAH, IT'S FUNNY HOW WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I DISAGREE WITH THE IDEA OF PROHIBITING THE STORAGE DOWNTOWN AND GLADLY APPROVED THE LAST ONE AND WILL APPROVE THIS ONE. THIS BUILDING IS A VERY UNIQUE BUILDING. I DON'T WANT TO OPEN THE CASE AGAIN, I THINK YOU ALL SAID YOU WOULD ACTIVATE THE GROUND FLOOR. THE UPSTAIRS OF IT. WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE LIFE SPAN OF THIS BUILDING. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ME LIKE IT'S VERY LONG BUT THIS IS A REASONABLE REUSE FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. THERE ARE EMPTY LOTS ALL AROUND THIS, OR NOT THAT FAR FROM THIS AND WE CAN REDEVELOP THOSE TO ACTIVATE THEM MORE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT -- OH, WE HAVE TO REOPEN. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION TO REOPEN FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DO WE KNOW WHAT YEAR THIS BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED? DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW OLD THE BUILDING IS? >> MY GUESS IS '60s. WHILE ADDIE IS PULLING THAT UP, I THINK THIS IS A DIFFERENT CASE THAN THE ONE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED IN THAT APPROVAL -- >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S NOT THE QUESTION. THAT'S NOT WHY WE REOPENED. >> I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO REBUT AND I BELIEVE I'M ENTITLED. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR. YOU HAVE REBUTTAL. >> AS I KNOW IT THE CASE THAT WAS APPROVED BEFORE WAS A PERMANENT APPROVAL. THIS IS A SPECIAL USE. IF AND WHEN THIS DOES NOT TRAVEL WITH THE LAND, IF YOU WOULD LIKE FOR US TO MAKE THAT EVEN MORE ABUNDANTLY CLEAR IN BETWEEN READINGS AND PUT A -- IF THIS IS REDEVELOPED, STORAGE WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED AND THE WAIVERS GO AWAY, WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO SO. THIS IS JUST TEMPORARY TO ALLOW THIS OWNER TO SURVIVE AND HAVE A VIABLE PLAN UNTIL THIS BUILDING IS REDEVELOPED. THAT'S THE ULTIMATE PLAN IS NOT TO HAVE SELF-STORAGE HERE FOREVER. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: DID I REMEMBER CORRECTLY FROM THE PRESENTATION THAT YOU WOULD ACTIVATE THE GROUND LEVEL? >> CORRECT. >>BILL CARLSON: DID YOU SAY ENTERTAINMENT OR BAR? >> I THINK IT WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL FOR A -- IT'S A BOURBON CONCEPT OUT OF NASHVILLE THAT WILL BE GOING ON THE GROUND FLOOR. AS I MENTIONED, THEY SPENT CONSIDERABLE SUMS ON ANY LOCATION WITHIN THE BUILDING THAT HAS WINDOWS, UTILIZING THAT FOR OFFICE. THE KENNEDY FAMILY ACTUALLY MOVED THEIR OFFICE THERE TO KIND OF DEMONSTRATE WHAT THEY ARE WILLING TO DO. BUT THEY JUST HAD THESE LARGE CAVERNOUS SPACES WITHOUT WINDOWS AND THOUGHT THE BEST USE AGAIN FROM A TEMPORARY STANDPOINT WAS SELF-STORAGE. WE'RE HAPPY TO CONDITION THAT IF AND WHEN THIS SITE IS REDEVELOPED THAT USE GOES AWAY. THAT TO ME IS A VERY IMPORTANT DISTINCTION COMPARED TO THE ONE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED. >>LYNN HURTAK: MOTION TO CLOSE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IN LIGHT OF THAT REBUTTAL -- >>LYNN HURTAK: WE HAVEN'T CLOSED YET. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'M THINKING OF RESCINDING MY SECOND. >>LYNN HURTAK: WE HAVE TO CLOSE FIRST. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. THE HEARING IS CLOSED. GO AHEAD. >>LYNN HURTAK: FOR ME, STILL THE THING THAT'S IN GIANT LIGHTS IS THE WORD "IF" THAT HE KEEPS SAYING OVER AND OVER. IF IF IF IF. QUITE FRANKLY, IT MAY NEVER CHANGE BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO GET MONEY FOR DOING STORAGE. IT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM WITH THE BUSINESS STRUGGLE. I MEAN, DOWNTOWN IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR BUSINESS AND PEOPLE, NOT FOR STUFF. I'M SORRY. BUT THIS GIANT, GIANT IF, TO ME, IT MEANS NEVER. I DON'T BELIEVE IFS. YOU CAN TELL ME ALL YOU WANT BUT YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW ME, AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT SAYS THEY ARE GOING TO DECIDE TO CLOSE THIS. I'M JUST ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED AND DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS COUNCIL WILL APPROVE STORAGE FACILITIES IN OUR ABSOLUTE DOWNTOWN CORE. I'M JUST SHOCKED BY IT. I WAS SHOCKED THE FIRST TIME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DOES IT MATTER THAT IT'S 40%? >>LYNN HURTAK: YEAH, IT DOES. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 40% WITH HOUSING. IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE 40% WITH OFFICE. >> IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY WINDOWS. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM. THAT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM. WHAT IT DOES IS ENCOURAGE THEM TO DEMOLISH IT AND BUILD SOMETHING MORE APPROPRIATE SOONER, THEN GREAT. THE MARKET SHOULD DICTATE. RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE ASKING US TO PUT A GIANT FOOT ON THE MARKET. THAT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS YOUR MOTION TO DENY STILL STAND? >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THERE A SECOND? IS THERE A SECOND? IS THERE A SECOND? THE MOTION TO DENY FAILS FOR LACK OF A SECOND. COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ ITEM NUMBER 3? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'LL READ IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. ITEM NUMBER 3, FILE SU 2-24-01 -- >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: AND THE REVISION SHEET AS WELL. >>BILL CARLSON: CAN YOU ALSO ADD THE STIPULATION THAT HE ADDED? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THAT IT DOESN'T TRAVEL WITH THE LAND. >>BILL CARLSON: HE SAID HE'S WILLING TO PUT IT EXPLICITLY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: QUESTION, IF I CAN. THIS MAY REQUIRE IT TO BE OPEN, BUT DOES STAFF NEED A SPECIFIC NOTE OR THING TO BE PLACED, AN AGREEMENT AT LEAST BETWEEN STAFF AND THE APPLICANT FOR FIRST AND SECOND READING? WE DON'T HAVE TO REOPEN FOR THAT UNLESS IT'S REQUIRED. >>ERIC COTTON: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. IF COUNCIL WOULD LIKE THAT CONDITION PLACED ON, IT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. >>BILL CARLSON: I THINK IF WE HAVE A MEMO BY THE APPLICANT THAT REQUESTS THIS, SOME FUTURE OWNER COMES BACK AND SAYS, LOOK, WHY CAN'T WE CHANGE IT, WE'LL SAY, LOOK, WE HAD IN HERE -- >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT WOULD NOT BE -- MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY. THAT WOULD NOT BE A MEMO IN A FILE WOULD NOT BE THE SAME AS HAVING IT AS A NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN FOR CHANGE OF USE. WHAT I'M ASKING, THOUGH, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE SPECIFICALLY PUT ON THE RECORD BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING SO THAT IT FULLY REFLECTS THE INTENT OF COUNCIL BY AGREEMENT AND STIPULATION OF THE APPLICANT. WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID? >>ERIC COTTON: UPON REDEVELOPMENT OF SAID SITE, THE SELF-STORAGE USE WILL CEASE AND NOT BE CARRIED FORWARD. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WITHOUT HAVING TO REOPEN, UNLESS WE NEED TO, BUT IS THAT STIPULATED BY THE APPLICANT? MR. GARDNER, WOULD YOU STATE SO? >> YES, ABSOLUTELY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT, MR. CHAIRMAN. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ITEM NUMBER 3, PUBLIC HEARING APPLICATION FOR K2 TPA OFFICE LLC PROPERTY GENERALLY AT 610 EAST ZACK STREET, SPECIAL USE REQUEST FOR AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE. ORDINANCE PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING, AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT SU-2, APPROVING AIR CONDITIONED STORAGE IN A CBD-1, CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, ZONING DISTRICT IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF 610 EAST ZACK STREET, IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA, AND AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1 HEREOF, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THIS IS AN APPROVAL OF SPECIAL USE WITH A WAIVER. UPON THE WRITTEN RECORD OF THE HEARING AND TESTIMONY RECEIVED DURING THE HEARING, WHICH ESTABLISHED THE APPLICANT'S COMPLIANCE WITH GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICY IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE USE WILL ENSURE THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND GENERAL WELFARE IF LOCATED AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OPERATING ACCORDING WITH THE PLANS SUBMITTED. USE AND COMPATIBILITY AND CONTIGUOUS AND SURROUNDING PROPERTY OF THE USE OF PUBLIC NECESSITY. THE USE IS CONFORMING WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE USE WOULD NOT ESTABLISH A PRECEDENT OR ENCOURAGE MORE INTENSIVE OR INCOMPARABLE USES IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON AUGUST 22, 2024, AT 10 A.M. LOCATED AT OLD CITY HALL, 315 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA 33602. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ITEM NUMBER 4. >>ERIC COTTON: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. I HAVE BEEN SWORN. ITEM REZ-23-98 IS NEXT ON THE AGENDA. IT IS A REQUEST TO REZONE PROPERTY AT 5607 NORTH 30th STREET FROM RS 50 TO RM 18. THIS IS A EUCLIDEAN REZONING, SO THERE IS NO SITE PLAN FOR REVIEW. I'LL TURN IT OVER TO EMILY PHELAN WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU, SIR. YES MA'AM. >>EMILY PHELAN: EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY PLANNING DISTRICT AND THE LIVE OAKS SQUARE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA SPECIFICALLY EVACUATION ZONE E. THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE. OUTLINED HERE IN PURPLE. SURROUNDING AREA IS CHARACTERIZED BY MULTIFAMILY -- SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND SOME SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED TO THE NORTH, EAST, AND SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE. TO THE WEST ARE PUBLIC USES INCLUDING A FIRE STATION AND LANDS OWNED BY BOTH THE CITY AND THE COUNTY. THIS IS THE FUTURE -- THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP. SUBJECT SITE AGAIN IS HERE. REPRESENTED WITH A RESIDENTIAL 20 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION WHICH IS BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE. EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS THE RESIDENTIAL 10 AND WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE UNDER THE PUBLIC SEMI.PUBLIC ARE THE FIRE STATION AND THE COUNTY AND CITY OWNED LANDS. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND NO ADVERSE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD. INFILL DEVELOPMENT ON A SITE PRESENTLY UNDERUTILIZED. THE SITE IS APPROXIMATELY 650 FEET FROM EAST HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE WHICH IS DOWN HERE, WHICH HAS HEAVY COMMERCIAL USES. IT IS A DESIGNATED TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR. MULTIFAMILY AND SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED DWELLING UNITS OF UP TO 20 UNITS PER ACRE. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED RM 18 ZONING DISTRICT WOULD PROVIDE FOR A DEVELOPMENT THAT IS COMFORTABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA. THE RM 18 ZONING DISTRICT WOULD PROVIDE A TRANSITION IN DENSITY FROM THE COMMERCIAL GENERAL USES TO THE WEST AND SINGLE-FAMILY USES TO THE EAST. REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH 9.7.3 WHICH ENCOURAGES A TRANSITION IN DENSITY FROM THE SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE COMMERCIAL USES. THE REQUEST MEETS MANY OF THE POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS IT RELATES TO HOUSING THE CITY'S POPULATION. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES NEW HOUSING ON VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING IS AVAILABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF TAMPA'S PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS. LAND USE POLICY 9.2.6 ENCOURAGES SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED AND MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT TO BE DESIGNATED -- TO BE DESIGNED, EXCUSE ME, TO INCLUDE THE ORIENTATION OF THE FRONT DOOR TO A NEIGHBORHOOD, SIDEWALK OR STREET, SINCE THIS IS A EUCLIDEAN ZONING DISTRICT, THE APPLICANT SHOULD ADDRESS THIS POLICY AS WELL AS ALL APPLICABLE POLICIES AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING. DUE TO THE SITE BEING WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA AND EVACUATION ZONE E, REZONINGS THAT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS SHALL MITIGATE ANY IMPACTS ON SHELTER SPACE DEMANDS. IN CONCLUSION, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ENCOURAGED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 20 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? NO. YES SIR. >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. AGAIN, THIS IS EUCLIDEAN REZONING DISTRICT FROM RS 50 TO RM 18. FOLLOWING UP ON THE MAP. SOME OF THE MAP EMILY JUST SHOWED, PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTED IN THE RED DASH, 30 -- NORTH 30th IS A COLLECTOR ROAD. THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS STAFF FOUND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT ALSO. ACROSS THE STREET IS -- LET ME RUN THROUGH THE PHOTOS. DO THAT REAL QUICK FOR YOU ALL. THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE AS IT EXISTS RIGHT NOW. ACROSS THE STREET TO THE NORTHWEST IS A FIRE STATION. ACROSS THE -- DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SITE ITSELF, THE BALL FIELDS FOR CARVER CENTER HIGH SCHOOL. SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY AGAIN, IT'S RESIDENTIAL. SURROUNDING IT WITH THE RM 18, THE HIGHEST DENSITY THEY CAN GET ON THE SITE WOULD BE TWO UNITS. MOST LIKELY THE PROPERTY OWNER WHEN THEY DO DEVELOP THE SITE WILL DEVELOP AS SEMI DETACHED PIECE OF PROPERTY. COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN? NO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DO WE HAVE AN APPLICANT FOR THE ITEM? I HAVE SOMEBODY REGISTERED ONLINE. BERNLE NEWTON. ARE YOU HERE, SIR? COME ON UP. WERE YOU SWORN IN WHEN WE ASKED EVERYBODY TO STAND.

IF THERE ARE SOME REVISIONS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. REVISION SHEET ATTACHED TO STAFF REPORT. TURN IT OVER TO EMILY FEEL WITHIN THE PLANNING COMMISSION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES MA'AM. GO AHEAD. >>EMILY PHELAN: EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT AND THE RIVER BEND NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S ALSO LOCATED WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA SPECIFICALLY EVACUATION ZONE D. THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED HERE OUTLINED IN PURPLE. SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED IS TO THE EAST, MANUFACTURED HOUSING IS TO THE SOUTH, AND ALL OF THIS IS THE ROME AND SLIGH PARK. THIS IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP. THE SUBJECT SITE IS HERE REPRESENTED WITH THE RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION WHICH IS TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE. EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS THE RESIDENTIAL 10 AND AGAIN THIS IS RECREATIONAL OPEN SPACE WHICH IS THE ROME AND SLIGH PARK. PD IS PROPOSING 12.9 UNITS PER ACRE WHICH IS BELOW THE 20 UNITS PER ACRE ANTICIPATED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION. THE CURRENT DENSITY OF THIS PORTION OF NORTH ROME AVENUE BETWEEN WEST HIAWATHA STREET AND WEST NOLAND STREET DENSITY OF 4.28 UNITS PER ACRE. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROPOSED PD IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN. THE REQUEST WILL PROVIDE COMPATIBLE INFILL DEVELOPMENT ON A VACANT LOT IN AN AREA PLANNED FOR 20 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. LAND USE POLICY 9.2.6 ENCOURAGES THE DESIGN OF SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED DEVELOPMENTS TO ORIENT THE FRONT DOORS TOWARDS THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SIDEWALK OR STREET. IN THE PD, UNIT 8 AND 16 ARE ORIENTED TOWARD NORTH ROME AVENUE. ALTHOUGH THE REMAINING UNITS FACE AN INTERNAL DRIVE AISLE, PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS ARE PROVIDED FROM THE ENTRANCES TO THE ADJACENT SIDEWALK ON NORTH ROME AVENUE MEETING THE INTENT OF THIS POLICY. THE REQUEST MEETS MANY OF THE POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS IT RELATES TO HOUSING THE CITY'S POPULATION. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ENCOURAGES NEW HOUSING ON VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING IS AVAILABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF TAMPA'S PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS. DUE TO WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA AND EVACUATION ZONE D REZONINGS THAT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS SHALL MITIGATE ANY IMPACTS ON SHELTER SPACE DEMANDS. THE REQUEST WOULD ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT THAT IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING USES AND CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL 20 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS? NO. YES SIR. >>ERIC COTTON: AGAIN, ERIC COTTON, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION OFFICE. I WON'T REPEAT WHAT EMILY JUST SAID SINCE YOU SAW A LOT OF THAT STUFF. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN IN QUESTION. APPLICANT IS ASKING TO DO 16 UNITS ON 1.241 ACRES. WHEN THE APPLICANT ORIGINALLY CAME IN, DIFFERENT AGENT, THE REQUEST WAS FOR MORE UNITS. IT'S BEEN SCALED BACK. HE'S WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH FIRE, SOLID WASTE, AND TRANSPORTATION TO DEVELOP THIS SITE PLAN. THE PROPERTY, STYLE OF DEVELOPMENT WITH GARAGES ON BOTH SIDES, UNITS ARE FACING, INTERIOR COURTYARD CONCEPT. VISITOR PARKING IN THE BACK. THE SITE IS CURRENTLY VACANT. THESE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE SITE ITSELF AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. AGAIN, MOBILE HOME, NESTLED IN BETWEEN ON AN L SHAPE OF A MOBILE HOME PARK AND TO THE NORTH IS, OF COURSE, THE CITY PARK THAT EMILY JUST MENTIONED. JUST -- THAT'S LOOKING TO THE WEST. ANOTHER PICTURE TO THE WEST, AND SUCH. THEY ARE ASKING FOR THE WAIVER TO ALLOW FOR THE ENTRANCES TO FACE AN INTERIOR COURTYARD, AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR A REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF RETAINED TREES. COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR NATURAL RESOURCES. I'M ASSUMING THAT THE REASON WHY NATURAL RESOURCES DOESN'T HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE TREES IS BECAUSE THEY ARE SUBSTANDARD TREES ON THE PROPERTY. >> THE APPLICANT IS PRESERVING TWO GRAND TREES ON THE SITE. THEY ARE REMOVING ONE GRAND TREE, BUT THAT TREE IS CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS. THERE ARE NO WAIVERS FOR GRAND TREES. THEY ARE REQUESTING A WAIVER FOR TREE RETENTION, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF EXEMPT TREES ON THIS SITE AS WELL. A LOT OF CHERRY LAURELS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IS THERE A PLAN TO REPLACE TREES OR PLANT TREES IN THE LANDSCAPING PLAN? >> THEY CAN MEET THEIR TREE REQUIREMENTS. THEY CAN MEET THE TREE REQUIREMENTS THAT THE SITE REQUIRES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT IS YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? >> ERIN MAEHR WITH DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IS THAT A STIPULATION IN THE SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN? >>ERIN MAEHR: IT LISTS THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED TREES. THEY ARE SHOWING -- THEY SHOW THE PROPOSED TREES ON THEIR SITE PLAN AS WELL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. IS THAT THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION, SIR? >> YES, SIR. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DO WE HAVE AN APPLICANT FOR ITEM NUMBER 5? YES SIR. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> KEVIN JOHNSON. DO A QUICK RUN-THROUGH. KIND OF SAID EVERYTHING. REZONING PROPOSAL GOING FROM RS 50 TO A PD AS BEEN STATED. SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED TOWNHOME. WE HAVE ABOUT 1.24 ACRES. AS STATED, WE'RE LOOKING TO PUT 16 UNITS ON THIS, WHICH IS A REDUCTION FROM WHAT WE WERE DOING INITIALLY WHICH ALLOWED US TO MAINTAIN THE GRAND TREES ON THE SITE, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A BIG THING IN TAMPA RIGHT NOW. HERE IS ANOTHER LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN. WE WANTED TO ORIENT THE UNITS TO THE SIDE ROAD HERE, BUT IT'S NOT A PUBLIC ROAD. IN THE EVENT THAT THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY WOULD HAVE BEEN PURCHASED AND REDEVELOPED, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A SITUATION. IDEALLY I'M URBAN DESIGN BACKGROUND SO I WOULD HAVE LIKED THAT AS WELL, BUT, YEAH, WE DID THE BEST THAT WE COULD WITH THE SITE. THE UNITS ARE JUST RANGING BETWEEN 2600 SQUARE FEET AND 3,000. THIS IS JUST KIND OF MENTIONING THE WAIVERS THAT WE PUT IN, REQUEST TO ALLOW FRONT DOORS TO FACE INTERNAL DRIVE AISLE AS STATED EARLIER AND AS ERIN JUST STATED, REQUEST TO REDUCE REQUIRED TREE RETENTION FROM 50% TO 20.8%. THAT'S REALLY IT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? I'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. IF THERE'S ANYBODY HERE TO SPEAK ON PUBLIC COMMENT, WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY REGISTERED. IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC? ALL RIGHT. COME ON UP. COME UP AND FORM A LINE AND WE'LL GET YOU ONE BY ONE. I BELIEVE EVERYBODY WAS SWORN IN. THE GENTLEMAN THAT WALKED IN WAS ALREADY SWORN IN. YES, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS FRANK GRECO. I AM THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE RIVER BEND CIVIC ASSOCIATION. I ACTUALLY LIVE IN RIVER BEND. MY ADDRESS IS 5440 NORTH RIVER SHORE DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN SWORN. RIVER BEND IS PRETTY MUCH AN OVERLOOKED COMMUNITY AND WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL TO HAVE INTEREST IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS A VERY, VERY GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, WE WERE NOT GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE DEVELOPER TO ASK CERTAIN QUESTIONS AND TO GET SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON IT. OF THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, ONE IS TRAFFIC. IT'S AT THE END OF THE ROAD JUST BEFORE SLIGH AVENUE AT THE LIGHT. THERE IS A SCHOOL RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS. AT THE AFTERNOON HOURS, THE TRAFFIC BACKS UP. SO THERE IS A VERY DESPERATE NEED FOR ANOTHER LANE FOR TURNING AND ALSO FOR QUEUING FOR THE PICKUP AND THE DROP-OFF OF CHILDREN AT THAT SCHOOL. IT'S VERY MUCH REQUIRED. THERE WAS A CHILD'S DEATH THERE ON THAT CORNER SEVERAL YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS NO TURNING ARROW. THEY DID PUT A TURNING ARROW AT THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION. HOWEVER, THE SOUTH END DOES NOT HAVE A TURNING ARROW. SO THERE'S NO WAY TO TURN EAST OFF OF ROME AVENUE TO GO EAST ON TO HILLSBOROUGH. WE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL PAVING FOR THAT ROAD SINCE IT HAS BECOME SUBSTANDARD. ALSO LIKE TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT STORMWATER, SEWERS, AND WATER, ALSO GARBAGE COLLECTION VEHICLES AND OTHER EMERGENCY VEHICLES. WE ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY CITY COMMITMENTS OR WAIVERS FOR THIS PROJECT AND WHAT THE HOA DOCUMENTS LOOK LIKE. WE'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE AS WELL IF IT'S POSSIBLE. SO WHAT RIVER BEND IS ACTUALLY ASKING IS FOR MORE TIME SO WE CAN HAVE THE COURTESY AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE DEVELOPER TO UNDERSTAND THE PROJECT AND TO MAYBE MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE THINGS THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ACTUALLY NEEDS. THAT IS MY REQUEST TO YOU. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. YES, SIR, NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> MATT PEAVYHOUSE, HEAD OF SCHOOL AT TAMPA BAY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY. WE'RE A PRIVATE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL ABOUT 150 FEET NORTHEAST OF THE PROPOSED TOWNHOMES. WE ARE A PRESCHOOL TO 12th GRADE ACADEMY. WE REPRESENT ABOUT 250 FAMILIES AND ABOUT 60 EMPLOYEES. ABOUT 99% OF OUR STUDENTS RECEIVE A FULL SCHOLARSHIP TO BE A PART OF OUR SCHOOL. WE'RE GROWING AND EXPANDING IN OTHER LOCATIONS, NOT IN THE LOCATION THERE, JUST SO EVERYBODY KNOWS. WE HAVE DOZENS OF STUDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE RIVER BEND COMMUNITY THAT WALK, THAT ARE COMING FROM THERE. TRAFFIC IS UNBEARABLE ON NORTH ROME. WE KNOW THAT, ESPECIALLY BETWEEN THAT LIGHT SPECIFICALLY. WE CAN'T HANDLE THE TRAFFIC THAT'S THERE MOST DAYS. WE SEEK TO NOT BLOCK THE ROADWAYS. THAT MOST OF THE TIME HAPPENS, BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN AUGUST. SO EACH AUGUST I RECEIVE DEATH THREATS. PEOPLE WHO CALL OUR SCHOOL HOPING THAT I DIE, HOPING THAT OUR STUDENTS GET HIT, AND UNFORTUATELY I'M PROBABLY ONE OF THE ONLY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT'S EVER KNELT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT INTERSECTION BECAUSE I KNELT HAVING GERMANE HAND AS HE DIED IN THE INTERSECTION. IT IS JUST. I CAN'T GET THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO PUT A SCHOOL ZONE SIGN ON SLIGH. THEY WON'T DO IT. I CAN'T GET THEM TO PUT BACK THE LIGHT THAT USED TO FLASH AT OUR WALKWAY ACROSS NORTH ROME. THEY WON'T DO IT. WE'VE TRIED A NUMBER OF TIMES. WE HAVE SIMPLE, ONE SIMPLE SIGN THAT SAYS A CROSSING SIGN, DOESN'T SAY SCHOOL, AND THAT'S% ALL -- UNFORTUNATELY, WE ALSO ARE CONCERNED JUST LIKE THE RESIDENTS. I AM THE END OF THE LINE AS THE FLOODWATERS COME EACH TIME WE HAVE A STORM. SO THEY ALL COME AND REST ON OUR CAMPUS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THE STORMWATER WOULD BE HANDLED, WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. I'M ALSO A NOT-FOR-PROFIT BUSINESS, CEO, AND I LOVE GROWTH AND EXPANSION. BUT IT'S GOT TO BE SUSTAINABLE. I'M WORRIED THAT WITHOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE CHANGES, THE ROAD AND THE AREA, IT'S NOT SUSTAINABLE. AND THIS HAS ONE EXIT HUNDRED FEET AWAY. I THINK MORE PLANNING, MORE THOUGHT NEEDS TO GO INTO IT AND LOOKING AT WHAT THE OPTIONS ARE. THANK YOU. THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE. GOD BLESS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES SIR. >> CHRIS MACK ROAN. I OWN A PROPERTY DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE PROPOSED SITE. EVERYTHING WE JUST HEARD. HAD A CHILD DEATH. MY SON WAS IN A CRITICAL WRECK ON ROME AVENUE ON A MOTORCYCLE. I'VE GOT MULTIPLE OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW OF THAT HAVE BEEN IN WRECKS IN THAT AREA. VERY TIGHT THERE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE TRAVELED THAT. VERY TIGHT. REALLY, IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE IT EVEN GROWS AN INCH. MY PROPERTY IS DOWN HILL FROM ACROSS THE STREET AND IT WILL TAKE ON MORE WATER. I'M ALREADY TAKING ON WATER. I OWN 6707 ROME. THOSE ARE MY CONCERNED. NEXT CONCERN -- PROBABLY WON'T CONCERN THIS COUNCIL, WITH THIS BUILDING, IT'S GOING TO RAISE MY TAXES UP WHICH I DON'T THINK IS FAIR EITHER ON TOP OF THAT WITH THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY THERE IT WILL RAISE UP WHERE I'M AT. IT'S A CONCERN. BUT MAINLY TRAFFIC, WATER RUNOFF SAFETY. THOSE ARE DEFINITELY MAJOR CONCERNS WITH ROME AVENUE. THAT CONCLUDES. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. YES SIR. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. HANK CRAMER. I LIVE AT 5933 NORTH ROME AVENUE. I ALSO REPRESENT THE RIVER BEND NEIGHBORHOOD CIVIC ASSOCIATION AS THE PRESIDENT. YOU PRETTY MUCH HEARD IT ALL SO FAR. EMPHASIS ON THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC, THOUGH, THAT COMES FROM ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS THERE WITH THE BALL FIELDS IN THE BACK, THE PARK TO THE SOUTH, THE SCHOOL ACROSS THE STREET THAT NEEDS TO USE THE FACILITIES ACROSS THE WAY, AND NOT HAVING THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSWAY IN FULL FUNCTION IS HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC. THE BOTTLENECK OF TRAFFIC THAT OCCURS SOUTH OF SLIGH ON ROME ALSO PROBLEMATIC. WE'RE NOT HERE TONIGHT TO SAY THIS IS A BAD DEAL. WE'RE HERE TO SAY WE NEED TO GET A BETTER DEAL. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND. WE'D LIKE TO HAVE SOME COMMUNICATION WITH THE DEVELOPER. THERE SHOULD BE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT AN ENTRANCE OR EGRESS -- >>GIDO MANISCALCO: INGRESS AND EGRESS. >> THANK YOU. ALONG THE LINE THERE JUST LIKE THE BUS STOP SHOULD BE. AND JUST LIKE THE BUS STOPS SHOULD BE STRAIGHTENED OUT. THEY SHOULD BE IMPROVED. THERE SHOULD BE MORE ACCOMMODATION TO THAT. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GET THAT WITH THE CITY AND WITH THE DEVELPER TO COME TOGETHER WITH US. WE'VE PUT TOGETHER AND STARTED OUR RIVER BEND CIVIC ASSOCIATION MASTER PLAN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 2045 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE EXPECT TO BE NAMED HERITAGE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE'VE GOT GREAT PLANS FOR WHAT WE WANT TO DO IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF ACTIVITY THAT'S TAKEN PLACE ALREADY WITH THE ADUs AND WITH THE LOT SPLITS. UNFORTUNATELY, THESE HAVE ALSO TAKEN PLACE WITHOUT PROPER RECOGNITION OF THE DRAINAGE CONCERNS. A LOT OF LOTS HAVE BEEN DOUBLED, THAT IS TO SAY, SPLIT AND UNITS PUT UP WITH NO CONCERN FOR THE INTERMEDIARY DITCH SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO THERE ARE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE HAVING WATER BACK UP ALL AROUND AND YOU HEAR AT SLIGH AVENUE HERE THE FLOW THAT COMES FROM EGYPT LAKE AND THE LAKE POWELL DOWN TOWARDS THE RIVER IS A PROBLEM EVEN AT THE NORTH END OF ROME THERE. IT'S WORSE THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS YOU MOVE SOUTH. THESE BLOCKAGES ARE PROBLEMATIC. AS CHRIS SAID, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE WE START DOUBLING UP. ALSO THE HEIGHT OF PUTTING THESE BUILDINGS RIGHT IN THE CENTER THERE, WE JUST WANT TO GET TOGETHER AND FIND OUT IF THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO DO THIS. SO WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THIS TABLED AND CONSIDERED FURTHER AT ANOTHER TIME. I THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER. YES SIR. >> MY NAME IS MIKE ADDISON. I LIVE AT 1304 ALICIA AVENUE. I USE ROME TO GET ACCESS TO SLIGH AS WELL AS TO GET ACCESS TO HILLSBOROUGH. THIS CONGESTION THAT OCCURS TWICE A DAY AT LEAST DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR THERE AT THAT INTERSECTION MAKES TRANSITING THROUGH THAT AREA VERY DIFFICULT. SO I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE STUDENTS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT KIDS PLAYING IN THE BALL FIELD. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT CHILDREN COMING FROM THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD TO USE THE PARK OR THE BALL FIELD. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE TO ALLOW TRANSIT OVER THE ROAD FROM THE SCHOOL OR FROM ACME ELECTRICAL WHICH IS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET, OVER TO THE PROPERTY THAT'S BEING PROPOSED TO BE DEVELOPED SO THAT KIDS CAN TRANSIT THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT CARS AND WITHOUT HAVING TO DODGE TRAFFIC. THIS IS SOMETHING WE DIDN'T KNOW AS PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, WE DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS COMING UP. WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH GERMAN AMERICAN CLUB REDEVELOPMENT, BUT JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS AND DECIDING TO SHOW UP AND ASK FOR ADDITIONAL TIME TO DEAL WITH THE DEVELOPER AND SEE IF WE CAN'T MAKE SOME ACCOMMODATION TO PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER SPEAKERS? YES, MA'AM, COME ON UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> MY NAME IS ALISON DATE. 2403 WEST CHICAGO. I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF VISITING ONE OF THE RIVER BEND'S MEETINGS AND GOT TO TALK TO A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THERE. I WANTED TO -- FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE DEVELOPERS FOR SAVING TWO GRAND TREES OUT OF THE THREE. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. I'M GLAD YOU ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. THAT MADE ME HAPPY. I'M WITH BOTH T-TAG AND SIERRA INCLUDING. -- SIERRA CLUB. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE STORMWATER RUNOFF AND DRAINAGE BECAUSE A NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE I TALK TO THERE CONCERNING ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING IN IS THE LACK OF -- AND IN OTHER AREAS TOO, OTHER AREAS IN THE CITY, THE LACK OF ATTENTION TO WHAT THE EFFECT OF PUTTING IN NOT ENOUGH STORM DRAINAGE AND HOW IT AFFECTS OTHER BUILDINGS AROUND IT. THERE'S ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING RIGHT ACROSS THE RIVER OFF OF KENNEDY. THOSE THOUSAND UNITS. THEY ARE JUST PUTTING IN A VAULT WHERE RIGHT NOW THERE IS AN OPEN AREA, AN OPEN PLACE FOR THE WATER TO GO. THERE ARE SPRINGS ALL ALONG THIS RIVER, AND NOBODY EVEN KNOWS WHERE THEY ALL ARE. AND YET WE'RE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO BUILD IN THOSE AREAS. AND THEY OFTEN -- PEOPLE NEAR THE RIVER HAVE TO GO UP HIGHER. WHERE DOES THE WATER GO THEN? BACK ON THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR, LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE MOBILE HOMES NEXT DOOR. THEY WILL PROBABLY BE MORE INUNDATED WITH WATER, FLOODWATERS AND MUD. AS IT IS NOW, THEY ARE ALREADY FLOODING IN THAT AREA, A LOT, LIKE FEET. NOT JUST A LITTLE BIT BUT SEVERAL FEET OF WATER IS WHAT PEOPLE WOULD SAY. I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT ISN'T ADDRESSED WHEN THEY DECIDE TO LET SOMEBODY BUILD, THAT THEY AREN'T ADDRESSING THE STORMWATER A LITTLE BIT MORE. IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT. NOT ONLY ARE WE LOSING FRESHWATER BY NOT USING OUR SPRINGS, BUT WE'RE MAKING THE WATER CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE COMMUNITIES AROUND THERE. THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT IS HERE TO SPEAK? IF NOT, WE HAVE THE APPLICANT, IF YOU WANT TO COME UP FOR REBUTTAL SIR. WE HEARD FROM THE PUBLIC. I WAS VERY DISTURBED TO HEAR FROM THE GENTLEMAN AT THE SCHOOL ABOUT THE DEATH THREATS. I KNOW THIS WORLD IS A CRAZY PLACE, BUT THAT IS A SEPARATE SITUATION FROM HERE. I WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH TRANSPORTATION SEPARATE FROM THIS ABOUT THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AND EVERYTHING. I HEARD THAT. BUT WE HEARD FROM THE PUBLIC AND I HEARD A LOT OF WE WOULD LIKE MORE TIME. WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO THE SUGGESTION OF CONTINUING THIS, MEETING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SITTING DOWN WITH THEM? THEY HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS. THEY LIVE RIGHT THERE. >> MY TEAM, MY CLIENT, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR SOME TIME. THIS ITEM HAS GONE SINCE THE END OF LAST YEAR. I GUESS JUST RESPECTFULLY ALSO THE PUBLIC NOTICE, TO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT'S THE POINT OF PUTTING OUT A PUBLIC NOTICE, RIGHT, SO THAT THERE'S TIME AHEAD OF THE CASE TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE ISSUES AND KIND OF COME TO AN UNDERSTANDING ON ALL FRONTS. IDEALLY, WE WOULD LIKE TO WRAP THIS UP TODAY. WE CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO GET APPROVAL AND BE WILLING TO WORK WITH THE ORGANIZATION, THE NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION IN TERMS OF FIGURING OUT HOW TO MAKE THIS DEVELOPMENT AS SEAMLESS AND AS JUST SAFE AS POSSIBLE. IDEALLY WE WOULD LIKE TO END THIS TODAY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. SO YOU COULD, SO YOU GOT FIRST READING AND SECOND READING WHERE YOU HAVE TO COME BACK IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. WHAT OFTEN IS DONE, IF WE'RE INCLINED TO SUPPORT THIS ON FIRST READING AND IT PASSES BY A MAJORITY VOTE, WE WOULD REQUEST THAT YOU MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. IT IN NO WAY HAS ANY BEARING ON TODAY WHATSOEVER BUT IT'S ALWAYS A REQUEST DONE. SOMETHING THAT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE IN LIGHT OF SOME OF THE REQUESTS. AGAIN, THERE ARE YOUR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS THAT YOU HAVE, AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT OUTSIDE OF OUR DECISION HERE, A REQUEST TO MEET WITH, BY THE WAY, HAS NO BEARING. I'LL SEE MYSELF SUPPORTING THIS, BY THE WAY. JUST FOR THE RECORD FOR LEGAL I'M NOT OVER HERE HOLDING IT, HEY, YOU MEET WITH THEM AND YOU GET MY VOTE. FROM A CIVIC PERSPECTIVE I WAS MOVED BY SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S CONCERNS. AGAIN, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A DEVELOPMENT AND PUT A NOTICE OUT THERE, PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS. IF WE DO SUPPORT THIS, BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING I WOULD REQUEST THAT, MAYBE GET SOME OF THE FOLKS' INFORMATION AND MEET WITH THEM BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. I AM INCLINED TO SUPPORT IT. AGAIN, THAT IS NOT A CONDITION. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'VE HEARD A LOT OF STORMWATER RUNOFF AND SO FORTH ON THE PROPERTY. IF I RECALL, THERE IS A LAW THAT YOU MUST RETAIN YOUR OWN WATER ON YOUR PROPERTY, AM I CORRECT? >>ERIC COTTON: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. YES, SIR, THAT IS CORRECT. STORMWATER DID REVIEW THIS AS PART OF THE REZONING APPLICATION AND DID FIND IT CONSISTENT. AT TIME OF PERMITTING, THEY'LL HAVE TO COMPLY WITH ALL STORMWATER REGULATIONS IF COUNCIL WERE TO APPROVE THIS REQUEST. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA, I GENERALLY WOULD AGREE WITH MEETING. THE ISSUE IS THINGS MIGHT CHANGE IN A DRASTIC FASHION, THAT'S GENERALLY WHY WE LIKE THE COMMUNITY TO MEET BEFORE FIRST READING. I'M DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR THAT YOU DIDN'T REACH OUT AND THAT THE COMMUNITY CONCERNS AREN'T AN ISSUE FOR YOU. I JUST FIND THAT INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING, ESPECIALLY FOR A PROJECT THAT'S HONESTLY CONTROVERSIAL IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M JUST REALLY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THAT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I UNDERSTAND, MAYBE YOU'RE NOT AWARE OF THE FACTS THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND THEY LIKE TO AT LEAST KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO. I KNOW THIS IS BLACK AND WHITE. LOOKING AT ONE ANOTHER, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO WORK IT OUT. I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU I'M VOTING FOR OR AGAINST. IF YOU MEET WITH THEM, HOLD IT A MONTH OR SO, YOU MIGHT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SOLVE YOUR OWN PROBLEMS. STORMWATER BY LAW YOU HAVE TO RETAIN ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY. BUT OTHER THAN THAT I DON'T SEE NO OTHER PROBLEM. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: WHAT THEY ARE SAYING, AND IF YOU DID ANY OF THIS, LET US KNOW. IN ADDITION TO THE REGULAR NOTICE THAT'S REQUIRED, TYPICALLY DEVELOPERS WILL ALSO CALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND MEET WITH THEM. DID YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO DO THAT? >> NO, NO. >>BILL CARLSON: IT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT. >> UNDERSTOOD. COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK, I DO CARE WHAT THEY SAY. I AM A NATIVE BORN AND RAISED IN TAMPA. I DO CARE. I THINK MY WORDS WERE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT A LITTLE BIT. I ABSOLUTELY CARE WHAT THEY THINK. NO, WE UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT REACH OUT TO THE ORGANIZATION. >>BILL CARLSON: MY OTHER THING, THOUGH, IN LOOKING AT COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WERE DESCRIBED DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. I'M OKAY -- I'M WITH COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA MAYBE VOTING FOR IT NOW AND ENCOURAGING THEM TO TALK TO EACH OTHER, BUT MAYBE IN THE MEANTIME ALSO CITY STAFF FROM THESE DEPARTMENTS COULD MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND START TALKING ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND WHOEVER'S DISTRICT IT IS, MAYBE ONE OF US COULD GO SEPARATELY AND MEET TO TALK ABOUT -- NOT ON THIS ISSUE. NOT ON THIS PROJECT, SORRY, BUT ON THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ISSUE, THE TRAFFIC ISSUE, THE FLOODING ISSUES NOT RELATED TO THIS PROJECT, WE COULD MAYBE HELP WITH THAT SEPARATELY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT. MR. SHELBY, WANT TO ADD ANYTHING? WE'VE SPOKEN A LOT, BUT IT IS YOUR TIME FOR REBUTTAL. YOU HEARD COMMENTS FROM US AND THE PUBLIC. YOU HAVE FIVE-MINUTE REBUTTAL TIME. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY MY PARTNER AND I, ON BEHALF OF OUR CLIENT, BORN AND RAISED HERE, FROM TAMPA. I THINK THE REQUIRED GREENSPACE WAS 5,000, 5600. WE PROVIDED JUST UNDER 21,000 SQUARE FEET OF GREENSPACE. WE UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE MAJOR CONCERNS FROM THE CITYWIDE PERSPECTIVE, FROM RESIDENTS. AS COUNCILMAN CARLSON SAID, SOME OF THE ISSUES IN TERMS OF FLOODING AND TRANSPORTATION WITH TRAFFIC AND ACCIDENTS AND EVERYTHING, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S SOMETHING OUT OF OUR CONTROL. WE WOULD LIKE TO DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR DEVELOPMENT IS AS COHESIVE AS POSSIBLE WITH THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE TO SAY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS WE'RE GOING TO DO A MOTION TO CLOSE. THEN YOU'RE PRECLUDED FROM SPEAKING FURTHER. IF WE WERE TO MOVE THIS TO SECOND READING, WOULD YOU COMMIT TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING? I SAY THAT JUST SO WE'LL HAVE THE INFORMATION BASED ON YOUR WORD. >> YES, SIR. >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: ALSO VERY OFTEN WE ASK IF PEOPLE DON'T GIVE US THEIR FULL CREDENTIALS WE ASK THEM TO TALK ABOUT THEIR CREDENTIALS. YOU SAID I THINK YOU'RE AN ARCHITECT, URBAN PLANNER. COULD YOU QUICKLY GO THROUGH YOUR CREDENTIALS SO WE CAN SEE WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM IN TERMS OF THE PLANNING OF THIS AS WELL? >> AS I SAID, I HAVE AN ARCHITECTURAL AND URBAN DESIGN BACKGROUND. I WENT TO TAMPA BAY TECH. GRADUATED FROM THE ARCHITECTURE PROGRAM. WENT TO FAMU ARCHITECTURE. I'VE WORKED FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA IN THE URBAN DESIGN DEPARTMENT. I WORKED FOR SOME LOCAL DEVELOPERS IN TAMPA. AND NOW I WORK FOR A PRETTY BIG RETAIL AND APPAREL -- YEAH, RETAIL AND APPAREL COMPANY, HAVE STORES ALL THE WAY FROM TAMPA TO NEW YORK. I'M THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER ON THAT. PRETTY WELL VERSED IN THE INDUSTRY. AS I SAID, MY PARTNER AND I, DONTAVIOUS, WE'VE BEEN REALLY AGGRESSIVE ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, ONE, AND JUST TRYING TO KEEP TAMPA, TAMPA, HONESTLY. THAT'S MY BACKGROUND. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE? I'LL ASK FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE. MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON, IT WAS YOUR TURN. >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAD A COMMENT FIRST. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD. >>LYNN HURTAK: I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS FOR MULTIPLE REASONS. ONE OF THEM IS DEFINITELY THE TREE RETENTION. THE BIGGER REASON IS THE AISLE STYLE DEVELOPMENT. I'LL CONTINUE TO VOTE AGAINST THIS AS WE ARE NOT DOING A GOOD JOB OF CREATING CONNECTIONS TO COMMUNITIES AND STREETS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'M SIMPATICO WITH THAT, ABOUT THE AISLE STYLE DEVELOPMENT. I STRUGGLED WITH THIS ONE AS WELL AS A PREVIOUS ISSUE WE HAD BEFORE US. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN THIS, WE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE OFF OF HENDERSON, LOCATION WITH THE DOCTOR OFFICE. WASN'T A COHESIVE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERFACE WITH THE COMMUNITY. THIS, THE WAY IT BACKS UP TO THE PARKS, THAT BUSY STREET, PRIVATE, MOBILE HOME PARK WHICH PROBABLY WILL BE IN PERPETUITY BECAUSE IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET RID OF THOSE AND IT IS A PRIVATE STREET BEHIND IT, IT IS A MUCH MORE COMPLEX ISSUE, AND IF NOT THIS WHAT? WHAT COULD YOU DEVELOP IN THIS AREA THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T ORIENT THAT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY TO A STREET. LITERALLY ONLY ONE STREET WITH THAT LONGER, DEEP PROPERTY. SO I THINK THIS IS SUCH AN UNUSUAL PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT I CAN GIVE WAY TO MY INNATE FEELING THAT AISLE STYLE PROPERTIES ARE NOT THE -- I APPRECIATE THE INPUT ON THAT BECAUSE I HAD THE SAME CONCERN. THIS ONE I FELT WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AS I SAID A MINUTE AGO, I'M OKAY VOTING IN FAVOR TO MOVE THIS FORWARD. BUT THE APPLICANT HAS SAID AND THE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE REQUESTED THAT THERE BE MEETINGS IN BETWEEN. I CAN'T PROMISE I'LL VOTE FOR IT IN THE SECOND READING. >>MARTIN SHELBY: CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY. WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE, CITY COUNCIL. THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT IN YOUR CODE THAT YOU CREATE THAT MANDATES THIS KIND OF INFORMATION AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMMUNITY MEETINGS. A LOT OF JURISDICTIONS HAVE THAT IN THEIR CODE. TAMPA DOES NOT. SO THAT IS NOT A BASIS FOR APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF THIS CASE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR. I THINK MR. SHELBY GAVE SOME FOLKS SOME IDEAS, I'M SURE. SO A COUPLE OF THINGS. WHEN I HEAR THE NEIGHBORHOOD HERE, I THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN COUNCILMAN CARLSON SAID, A LOT OF THINGS STATED ARE NOT NECESSARILY RELEVANT TO THIS DEVELOPMENT BUT ARE LARGER POLICY ISSUES. SO THAT'S NUMBER ONE. I THINK THE MAJORITY SENTIMENT THAT I HEARD OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AGAIN, ONE VERY SYMPATHETIC WITH, THEY JUST WANT MORE INFORMATION ON THIS SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION. AGAIN, I'M VERY SYMPATHETIC TO THAT. MR. SHELBY, OF COURSE, SAID YOU'RE NOT MANDATED OR THE APPLICANT -- SHOULDN'T SPEAK TO YOU SINCE IT IS CLOSED -- IS NOT MANDATED TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE CAN'T MAKE THAT A CONDITION. IT'S MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE. AGAIN, I'M INCLINED LIKE I SAID TO SUPPORT THIS. THIS IS FIRST READING AND THEN THERE'S SECOND READING. >>GWEN HENDERSON: I'M ALWAYS INCLINED TO SUPPORT AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THERE HAPPENS TO BE 16 SUBSTANTIAL SIZED UNITS. HE SAID IT WAS AFFORDABLE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU'RE TAKING TESTIMONY. IF YOU WANT TO REOPEN AND HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING IF THAT'S RELEVANT IN THE CASE. >>GWEN HENDERSON: CAN I REPHRASE THAT IT IS SUBSTANTIAL SIZE HOUSING FOR FAMILIES, 2600 TO 3,000 SQUARE FEET IS WHAT YOU SAID. THAT WAS APPEALING TO ME AND I THOUGHT ABOUT FAMILIES HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SUBSTANTIAL SPACE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: SINCE. >>GWEN HENDERSON: I WAS STILL TALKING. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD. >>GWEN HENDERSON: STAFF FOUND IT CONSISTENT AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT, BUT I DO ENCOURAGE YOU TO TALK TO THE NEIGHBORS. >>BILL CARLSON: AND -- >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>BILL CARLSON: SINCE MR. SHELBY RESPONDED TO WHAT I SAID A MINUTE AGO, I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HEARD EXACTLY WHAT I SAID. I DID NOT MAKE THE MEETING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD A CONTINGENT THING. WE BASED OUR VOTE TODAY ON COMPETENT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE TODAY AND THE SAME THING IN TWO WEEKS OR WHENEVER THIS COMES BACK UP. I WAS VERY CAREFUL IN WHAT I SAID. BUT IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORS ANYWAY. THANK YOU. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LET ME TRY TO CLEAR THE AIR A LITTLE, IF I MAY. IT IS CUSTOMARY IN THE SENSE OF THOSE THAT DEVELOP TO SEND THE NOTICES AND THEN MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION TO DISCUSS IT. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REALLY. IN THIS CASE, I GUESS THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. PART OF IT DID, BUT OTHER PART DIDN'T. THAT'S THE WAY IT HAPPENED. THAT'S ALL I SEE.

DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION FOUND IT CONSISTENT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM. >> EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE WESTSHORE PLANNING DISTRICT AND THE WESTSHORE EMPLOYMENT CENTER. IT'S LOCATED WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND COASTAL PLANNING AREA SPECIFICALLY EVACUATION ZONE A. THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE. IT'S LOCATED HERE OUTLINED IN PURPLE. THE SURROUNDING AREA IS NONRESIDENTIAL IN CHARACTER, CONSISTING MOSTLY OF OFFICE, HOTEL AND WAREHOUSE USES, AND THIS IS STATE ROAD 60. THIS IS THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. THE SUBJECT SITE AGAIN IS HERE AND IS REPRESENTED BY THE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION, WHICH DOES SURROUND THE SUBJECT SITE. THIS DESIGNATION IS INTENDED FOR AREAS WITHIN AND AROUND PUBLICLY OWNED AIRPORTS SUCH AS THE TAMPA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, WHICH IS FURTHER NORTH TO THE SITE. DEVELOPMENT IN THIS DESIGNATION SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH AIRPORT OPERATIONS. THIS REQUEST SEEKS TO MODIFY PREVIOUS REZONING DUE TO AN EMINENT DOMAIN THAT LED TO ACQUISITION OF A PORTION OF NEIGHBORING PARCEL RESULTING IN THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PARKING FACILITIES. THE REQUEST PROPOSED IS 80 SURFACE PARKING SPACES ON PARCEL C PER THE SITE PLAN TO SERVE EXISTING WAREHOUSE, OFFICE, AND HOTELS ON PARCELS A AND B. THE SURFACE PARKING PROPOSED IN PARCEL C CAN BE CONSIDERED PER THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND ADDITIONALLY THE REQUEST IS NOT EXPANDING NOR INTRODUCING NEW USES TO THE SITE AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE MAXIMUM INTENSITY OF A 1.5 F.A.R. PERMITTED UNDER THE N.A.P. FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION. ADJACENT TO THE SITE ALONG FRONTAGE ROAD, PROPOSED PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION LINKING THE PARKING AREA ON PARCEL C TO THE EXISTING WAREHOUSE AND OFFICE TO THIS BUILDING AND NEW SIDEWALK IS ALSO PROPOSED ALONG WEST LAUREL STREET. LAND USE POLICY 15.3.4 ALLOWS OFF-SITE PARKING IN APPROPRIATE URBAN AREAS. THE LOCATION OF THE PARKING IS IN THE REAR OF THE PARCEL AND EIGHT-FOOT VUA BUFFER IS PROPOSED ALONG THE WESTERN BORDER OF PARCEL C. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROPOSED PARKING AREA WILL BE ADEQUATELY SCREENED AND WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SURROUNDING AREA. OVERALL, THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE M.A.P. FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION SPECIFICALLY BY MAINTAINING LOWER DENSITY AND INTENSITY IN THIS AREA. THE REQUEST IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA AND ADDRESSES PEDESTRIAN ACCESSIBILITY AND SAFETY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MOBILITY POLICIES. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS? YES, SIR, MR. COTTON. >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. FOLLOWING UP ON EMILY'S PRESENTATION. AGAIN, THE SITE PLAN, THE AERIAL, THIS IS THE RESULT OF THE TAKING BY F.D.O.T. FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE 275 CORRIDOR. AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE SHAPE OF THE PARCEL, IT IS NOT THE FIRST TAKING THIS PROPERTY HAS HAD. JUST A QUICK VIEW OF THE SITE PLAN, THIS IS THE EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING. THIS IS THE EXISTING HOTEL. F.D.O.T. IS PROVIDING AS PART OF THE SETTLEMENT I BELIEVE IS PROVIDING THIS AS ADDITIONAL PARKING FOR THE SITE AS A RESULT OF THE LOSS OF PARKING TO THE TAKING. JUST SOME QUICK PHOTOS OF THE SITE. THIS IS THE -- THIS IS LOOKING BACK AT THE BUILDING ITSELF. THIS IS A VIEW OF THE HOTEL IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING AND THE FRONT. I HAVE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS OF THE BUILDING. THIS IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE PROPERTY WHERE THE HOTEL IS. AND JUST ANOTHER VIEW OF THE EXISTING BUILDING ITSELF. AGAIN, THE ADDITION, THEY ARE ADDING LAND TO PROVIDE FOR THE PARKING THAT WAS BEING TAKEN BY F.D.O.T. THROUGH THE EMINENT DOMAIN PROCESS. COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM FOR YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. APPLICANT FOR ITEM NUMBER 8. YES, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> TRUETT GARDNER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. EMILY AND ERIC DID A GREAT JOB OF FRAMING THIS. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE SEEKING OR WANTED TO REQUEST, BUT IT IS THE RESULT OF THE WIDENING PROJECT OF F.D.O.T. SO ADDIE HAS A FEW SLIDES TO SHOW YOU. JUST TO CLARIFY, NOT ADDING ANY DENSITY, CHANGING ANY USES NOT REQUESTING ANY WAIVERS. SOLELY IT WAS PROPERTY TAKEN ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, YOU'LL REMEMBER THE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTH, THAT WAS DISPLACED AND BROKEN UP. SO WE'RE ADDING SOME PARKING THAT WAS NEGOTIATED THROUGH THE EMINENT DOMAIN SETTLEMENT. WITH THAT, ADDIE HAS A FEW SLIDES THAT REALLY DO A GOOD JOB OF SHOWING THIS. AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> I MIGHT NEED 15 SECONDS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: 9 SECONDS LEFT. [ LAUGHTER ] >> GOOD EVENING, ADDIE CLARK, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. YES, ERIC AND EMILY DID A GREAT JOB OF SHOWING YOU WHERE THE SITE IS. I THINK WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR. ABOUT 4.8-ACRE SITE. POST CUT AND THEN WITH THE NEW PARCEL THAT ERIC MENTIONED, PARCEL C. JUST GOING BACK INTO THE HISTORY OF THE REZONING FROM 2017-2018. CURRENT ZONING IS PD AND INCLUDES THE ORANGE AND BLUE -- I'M A GATOR -- LOCATION. PARCEL A, PARCEL B. THE ORANGE WAREHOUSE HAS EXISTED SINCE THE 1970s AND THE BLUE AREA WAS INTRODUCED AND THEY JOINED INTO ONE UNIFYING PD IN 2017 TO FORM THE HOTEL BECAUSE BOTH PARCEL A AND PARCEL B, THEY SHARE ACCESS AND PARKING. ALSO, YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF PARCEL A, THERE ARE PARKING SPACES IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF LAUREL STREET. I WANT TO POINT THAT OUT AS WE'LL GET TO THAT IN JUST A FEW MORE SLIDES. AGAIN, ERIC MENTIONED THE F.D.O.T. WIDENING PROJECT. THEY ARE COMING IN AND WIDENING STATE ROAD 60 SO THERE HAS BEEN A SLICE OF PARCEL A YOU CAN SEE IN RED, ABOUT .4 ACRES OF PARCEL A WAS TAKEN VIA EMINENT DOMAIN. THERE IS A BIT OF A LOSS OF BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE, ON-SITE PARKING SPACES. THE WESTERN-MOST DRIVEWAY HAS BEEN REMOVED AND WILL BE SHIFTING EAST AS FRONTAGE ROAD AND KIND OF EVERYTHING ELSE SHIFTS EAST BECAUSE OF THE WIDENING. ALSO NOT PART OF THE SITE ORIGINALLY, BUT THE DEMOLITION OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE OCCURRED AS WELL AND PART OF THAT LAND WILL BE USED FOR F.D.O.T.'S STAGING FOR CONSTRUCTION. HERE WHAT WE'VE BEEN CALLING IS THE CUT AND CURE. SO THE CUT OF THE BUILDING WITH F.D.O.T. COMING IN AND TAKING THAT LAND FOR THEIR CONSTRUCTION, AND THEN THE CURING OF THE BUILDING SIMPLY REPAIRING THE CUT AND CLOSING IT UP AND MAKING THAT WESTERN FACADE NICE AND UP TO WESTSHORE OVERLAY STANDARDS. YOU CAN SEE WE DID THAT PRETTY QUICKLY SINCE F.D.O.T. SCHEDULE, IMPORTANT TO STAY ON TIME WITH THEM. WE DID DO A ZONING SIGN-OFF LAST AUGUST TO ENSURE THE LOSS OF THE BUILDING AREA AND PARKING FOR PARCEL A DID NOT RESULT IN A NONCONFORMITY WITH THE 2017 PD. NOW THAT THE BUILDING OF PARCEL A HAS BEEN CURED, WE'RE HERE TO ADD TO THE PD THE .9-ACRE PARCEL THAT IS SHOWN IN YELLOW FOR PARCEL C. THAT IS THE PARCEL ACQUIRED FROM F.D.O.T. HERE QUICKLY GOING THROUGH THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, WE'LL START AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT, IN BLUE, PARCEL B, THE HOTEL, THERE'S NO CHANGE. IN YELLOW, PARCEL C, ADDING 80 NEW PARKING SPACES FOR USE BY BOTH PARCELS. THAT NEW DRIVEWAY ON FRONTAGE ROAD, THE NEW FRONTAGE ROAD WILL BE COORDINATED WITH F.D.O.T. AND JUST PROVIDES BETTER CIRCULATION THROUGH ALL THREE PARCELS NOW AND THEN SHIFTING THAT WESTERN-MOST DRIVEWAY TO THE EAST TO ACCOUNT FOR THE WIDENING. AND BACK TO THE SPACES OF THE LAUREL STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY, YOU CAN SEE HERE IT WAS A REQUEST BY CITY OF TAMPA TRANSPORTATION STAFF TO REMOVE ABOUT 48 SPACES THAT WERE IN THE LAUREL STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY AND INSTEAD PUT NICE NEW SIDEWALK AND LANDSCAPING THERE. HERE IS JUST A TABULAR FORM OF THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED VERSUS PROPOSED. YOU CAN SEE A LOSS OF LAND BUT THEN A GAIN OF LAND. PARCEL A DECREASED IN BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE BUT NO CHANGE OF USE AT ALL. PARCEL B UNTOUCHED IN TERMS OF USE AND DENSITY, AND THEN A BIT OF ADDED PARKING SPACES AND THEN ONE NEW DRIVEWAY TO THE WEST. IN SUMMARY HERE, THIS PICTURE SHOWS THE NEW WESTERN FACADE. YOU CAN SEE NICE AND TRANSPARENT AND AGREEABLE WITH THE WESTSHORE OVERLAY DISTRICT. WE DO HAVE CONSISTENCY FROM PLANNING COMMISSION. THERE'S NO CHANGE OF USE, NO NEW BUILDING AREA. WE'RE EXCEEDING GREENSPACE REQUIREMENTS AND WE HAVE ADDITIONAL ON-SITE PARKING. WITH THAT, WE'RE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM 8? WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED?

THE REVISION SHEET IS PART OF THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ITEM NUMBER 9 FOLLOWED BY 1, WHICH IS TRAVELING WITH IT. >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. I HAVE BEEN SWORN. NEXT CASE ON THE AGENDA IS REZ-24-50. REQUEST TO REZONE THE PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT 3601 AND 3814 NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE AND 501 EAST LAKE AVENUE FROM RM 16, RM 24, CI AND CG TO PDA WITH A -- THE USES WILL BE A COMBINATION OF RESIDENTIAL, OFFICE AND COMMERCIAL ALONG WITH THE EXISTING ZION CEMETERY. I WILL NOW TURN IT OVER TO EMILY PHEILEN WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES MA'AM. >>EMILY PHELAN: EMILY PHEILEN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THE SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE AND TAMPA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD. LOCATED WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA, SPECIFICALLY EVACUATION ZONE E. THIS IS AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN PURPLE. THE SURROUNDING AREA IS A MIX OF USES FROM SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED TO THE SOUTH TO MIXED USES WITH COMMERCIAL, SOME COMMERCIAL USES ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE AND ALSO ALONG MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BOULEVARD AND THEN FURTHER TO THE WEST OF THE SITE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED. THIS IS THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. SUBJECT SITE IS HERE. KIND OF HARD TO SEE WHAT IT IS REPRESENTED WITH THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 DESIGNATION. THE RESIDENTIAL 20 IS TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE. TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE IS THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35 DESIGNATION. THE REQUEST IS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE TO PERMIT REDEVELOPMENT OF ROBLES VILLAGE. THE PROPOSED PD-A SEEKS TO REDEVELOP THE AGING DWELLING UNITS, ADD GROUND FLOOR RETAIL USES AND PRESERVE THE ZION CEMETERY. THE PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES A DESIGN BOOK WHICH WILL BE INTEGRATED AND ENFORCED THROUGHOUT THE INCREMENTAL SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS. THE APPLICANT IS UTILIZING FAR TO DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM UNIT COUNT AND IS ENTERING IN A BONUS PROVISION AGREEMENT TO MAXIMIZE THE PROPOSED F.A.R. ALLOWED UNDER THE CMU 35 DESIGNATION. THE APPLICANT WILL PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS PART OF THAT AND THE LEVEL OF INTENSITY IS ENCOURAGED BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ESPECIALLY IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT WHICH IS VIEWED AS A PRIMARY URBAN EMPLOYMENT CENTER. THE PROPOSED PD-A SUPPORTS MANY OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES RELATED TO MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT AND PROVIDING DENSITIES THAT SUPPORT TRANSIT, ESPECIALLY WITHIN PROXIMITY TO TRANSIT WITH AVAILABLE INGRESS AND EGRESS FROM DOWNTOWN TAMPA CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPACT CITY FORM STRATEGY. DESIGN BOOK ALSO PROPOSED CONCEPTS CONSISTENT WITH THE MIXED USE CORRIDOR POLICIES BY BUILDINGS BEING PLACED CLOSE TO THE SIDEWALK, INTERNAL PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS AND ACTIVATED GROUND FLOOR USES. RECONNECTING THE HISTORIC GRID IS AN IMPORTANT PROVISION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE PROPOSED PD-A WILL REALIGN ROADWAYS RECONNECTING THE HISTORIC GRID DISRUPTED BY THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION. DUE TO THE SITE BEING WITHIN THE COASTAL PLANNING AREA AND EVACUATION ZONE E REZONINGS THAT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS SHALL MITIGATE ANY IMPACTS ON SHELTER SPACE DEMANDS. OVERALL THE PROPOSED PDA IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND CONSISTENT WITHIN THE CMU 35 DESIGNATION. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR. COTTON. >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, AGAIN, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. JUST REPEAT THE REQUEST IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY, APPROXIMATELY 30 ACRES FROM RM 16 TO RM 24. CI AND CG TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ALTERNATIVE PD-A. PD-A, MINIMUM OF 20 ACRES. THIS ALLOWS MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR THE DEVELOPER AS THEY COME IN THROUGH THE PROCESS. AGAIN, THE SITE EMILY JUST WENT OVER THE SAME INFORMATION. PDA, NOT A SPECIFIC SITE PLAN, SO TO SPEAK, THAT YOU WOULD ON A TYPICAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS MORE CONCEPTUAL AS THE APPLICANT COMES IN, AS THEY DEVELOP BLOCKS, COME IN AND SUBMIT FOR INCREMENT REVIEW, REVIEWED BY THE SAME DRC THAT NORMALLY REVIEWS THE PD THAT COUNCIL SEES. I COLOR CODED IT ONLY TO MAKE IT A LITTLE CLEARER. WHAT'S SHOWN IN ALL RED IS PROPOSED TO BE PRIMARILY -- ZOOM IN -- YOU'RE WELCOME. SHOWN IN RED IS PRIMARILY GOING TO BE PROPOSED TO BE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. THE PURPLE COLOR IS AN OPEN SPACE PARK. ZION CEMETERY IS SHOWN IN THE GREEN. THE BLUE ARE THE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS. 150-FOOT -- MAXIMUM HEIGHT PROPOSED IS 150 FEET, 12 STORIES. THAT'S GOING TO BE LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY HERE. LaCHONE PROVIDED A BLOWUP OF SOME OF THE REQUESTS. I'M SURE THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE WILL GO INTO MUCH GREATER DETAIL ON THIS. I DON'T WANT TO STEAL THEIR THUNDER. THIS IS A HIGHLIGHT OF THE PROPERTY AGAIN. ZION CEMETERY. THIS IS PROPOSED TO BE 12 STORIES OR 150 FEET MAXIMUM. THESE ARE ALL SEVEN STORIES. THESE ARE LIMITED TO THREE STORIES ALONG VIRGINIA AVENUE. AGAIN, GOING A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SOUTH, YOU'LL SEE THE SEVEN STORIES. THIS IS SIX STORIES. THEY ARE ASKING FOR -- THEY ARE PROPOSING SOME REDUCTIONS IN SOME OF THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS. AGAIN, AS COUNCIL -- LIVE LOCAL, PROPOSED PARKING WAS .8 SPACES FOR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THEY ARE PROPOSING .8 SPACES FOR AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING. THEY ARE PROPOSING .44 SPACES. MARKET RATE GOING BACK UP TO 1.23 SPACES PER UNIT. THE TOWNHOMES WILL BE PARKED AT 1.4 SPACES. THEY ARE PROVIDING STOREFRONT RESIDENTIAL. THERE WILL BE A PROPOSED GROCERY STORE. A COMMUNITY -- ON THE PROPERTY. ON THE SIDE HERE, A LIST, MULTITUDE OF USES BEING PROPOSED FOR THE SITE. THE PD-A WILL ALLOW ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY ON THE SITE AS THEY GO THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. THERE IS A REVISION SHEET THAT WILL HAVE TO BE, IF COUNCIL WERE TO MOVE FORWARD BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE TO MAKE REVISIONS ON THE SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET. APPLICANT NOW HAS A COPY. I'LL PROVIDE THIS TO THE CITY ATTORNEY. THIS IS ROBLES PARK. I DO HAVE SOME PHOTOS IF COUNCIL WANTS TO SEE THEM. THESE ARE PICTURES OF THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT. THERE IS A FIRE STATION TO THE WEST, AND THEN THE SITE IS PRETTY MUCH, PROBABLY THE WAY IT WAS WHEN ROBLES PARK STOPPED BEING OCCUPIED BY THE RESIDENTS. TO THE NORTHEAST, THERE ARE SOME SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. CHURCH TO THE SOUTHEAST THE REMAINING PICTURES OF ALL OF ROBLES PARK VILLAGE AS IT EXISTS NOW. COUNCIL HAS ANY QUESTIONS, MORE THAN HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER THEM FOR YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHEN MY FAMILY CAME FROM CUBA TO TAMPA, THIS IS WHERE THEY LIVED OVER 60 YEARS AGO. ANYTHING ELSE? IF NOT, WE GO TO THE APPLICANT. YES MA'AM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >>ERIN MAEHR: ERIN MAEHR, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. I'LL SPEAK TO SOME OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES COMMENTS FOR THE SITE AND GIVE YOU A WALK-THROUGH OF THAT. I REALLY LIKE THE PHOTO THAT IS ABOVE YOU HERE ON THE OVERHEAD. THIS IS LOOKING NORTH UP CENTRAL AVENUE ON THE EAST SIDE. THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE AS I GET TO THE NEXT SLIDE THAT A LOT OF THE TREES ON THE SITE ARE PALMS. AND THIS IS JUST KIND OF SHOWING HOW MANY TREES THERE ARE. BEAR WITH ME. I KNOW THIS HAS A LOT OF NUMBERS ON IT. HERE, THIS IS THE SITE. THIS IS AN AERIAL IMAGE LOOKING AT IT. VIRGINIA AVENUE IS TO THE NORTH. EMILY STREET IS TO THE SOUTH, CENTRAL AVENUE IS TO THE EAST. LAKE AVENUE RUNS THROUGH THE CENTER. JEFFERSON AND AVON AVENUE RUN NORTH TO SOUTH THROUGHOUT THE SITE. SO OVERALL, THIS ENTIRE SITE HAS 830 TREES OVER APPROXIMATELY 30 ACRES. AND 622 OF THEM ARE PALM TREES. 75% OF THE TREES ON THE SITE ARE PALMS. PALMS ARE EXEMPT FROM TREE RETENTION, SO THOSE TREES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS TREE RETENTION COUNT. SO ONCE YOU LESS OUT ALL THE POOR QUALITY TREES, THE TREES EXEMPT, THE DEAD TREES, YOU HAVE 108 TREES THAT COUNT TOWARDS TREE RETENTION. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A WAIVER FROM TREE RETENTION FROM THE REQUIRED 50% TO 20%. NATURAL RESOURCES IS IN SUPPORT OF THE WAIVER AS WHEN THE APPLICANT FIRST CAME TO US WITH THE ORIGINAL SUBMISSION, THEY HAVE REDUCED THEIR TREE DEBITS FROM 40% FROM THE ORIGINAL REQUEST. THEY REALLY WORKED WITH STAFF TRYING TO PRESERVE ADDITIONAL TREES, ADDITIONAL GRAND TREES WHICH I'LL GO OVER NEXT AND SHOW YOU HERE THAT THESE GREEN CIRCLES, THESE ARE ALL THE 18 NON-HAZARDOUS GRAND TREES THAT ARE GOING TO BE RETAINED. A LOT OF THEM ARE IN THIS CLUSTERED AREA HERE AND ZION CEMETERY, THIS PARK DOWN HERE WHICH I'LL GO INTO MORE DETAIL ON. AND THEY ARE REQUESTING A WAIVER TO REMOVE 14 OF THE NON-HAZARDOUS GRAND ON THE SITE. THIS IS THE RED CIRCLE YOU SEE HERE. I DO JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THERE ARE A FEW LOCATIONS WHERE THEY ARE MORE IMPACTED THAN OTHERS. A LOT OF THOSE ARE ALONG SOME OF THE ROADWAYS WHERE THEY ARE DOING SOME RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ROADWAYS. SO ON AVON AND ON LAKE AND THEN IN SOME PLACES WHERE STORMWATER IS PROPOSED, THEY ARE MORE IMPACTED THERE. AND THEN THERE ARE FIVE BLUE CIRCLES WHICH ARE OFF-SITE TREES. AND THOSE ARE BEING RETAINED. OVERALL, THE SITE HAS 45 GRAND TREES. AND THIS IS JUST KIND OF A COOL IMAGE THAT I THINK IS AWESOME. HERE, I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU WHAT THE TREES LOOK LIKE NOW. BUT THIS WAS BACK IN 1957, AND THIS IS AN AERIAL IMAGE AFTER ROBLES PARK, VILLAGE WAS FIRST BUILT. BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT A LOT OF THESE TREES WERE EXISTING THEN. AND LIVE OAKS CAN LIVE IN GOOD CONDITION TO BE A FEW HUNDRED YEARS OLD, UP TO 600 YEARS, SOMETIMES EVEN OLDER. UP HERE, TOO, IN ZION CEMETERY, THE TREES STILL EXISTED THERE. NOW, JUST TO GO OVER A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TREES THAT THEY ARE PRESERVING ON THE SITE, SO DOWN HERE, YOU'LL SEE THE PARK THAT USED TO BE THERE WHEN THEY BUILT ROBLES PARK. THERE ARE FOUR GRAND TREES IN THIS LOCATION THAT ARE BEING PRESERVED AND THIS IS GOING TO STAY A PARK. SO THERE IS A 35-INCH DBH LIVE OAK. ALSO, ALL THE TREES THEY ARE PRESERVING ARE LIVE OAKS. SO ALL THE GRAND TREES ARE LIVE OAKS. AND THIS TREE RIGHT HERE, YOU CAN BARELY SEE IT, BUT IT IS AN A-6 RATED TREE AND WORTH 36 CREDITS. THIS IS A 48-INCH DIAMETER TREE RATED B-6 AND WORTH 27 CREDITS. THIS IS A 56-INCH DIAMETER LIVE OAK RATED B-6 AND WORTH 37 CREDITS. THIS IS THE OTHER CLUSTER OF TREES. YOU CAN SEE HERE, WHICH IS ZION CEMETERY. I DO WANT TO MENTION THAT THIS IS AS CLOSE AS WE COULD GET TO ZION CEMETERY EVEN WHEN I WAS OUT THERE WITH THE APPLICANT, WE DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE AREA. BUT THERE ARE THREE QUALITY LIVE OAKS BACK IN THIS AREA THAT I'M POINTING TO AS WELL. THAT WILL ALL BE PRESERVED. THESE ARE JUST A FEW OTHER SITES. ORIGINALLY WHEN THE APPLICANT CAME TO US, THEY HAD WANTED TO REMOVE 22 GRAND TREES. SO WE GOT IT -- THAT DOWN TO -- I'M FORGETTING NOW -- 14. THEY SAVED 8 ADDITIONAL TREES. A LOT OF THEM ARE ALONG ROADWAYS HERE AND UP HERE ON VIRGINIA, YOU HAVE THREE ADDITIONAL GRAND TREES. I'M NOT SHOWING YOU ALL THE GRAND, BUT IT MIGHT FEEL THAT WAY. YEAH, A LOT OF REALLY GOOD QUALITY TREES. AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO DO SOME ADDITIONAL SITE COMMITMENTS. THIS TREE IN FRONT OF YOU WAS THIS TREE HERE ON CENTRAL AVENUE, 43-INCH LIVE OAK. AND THIS IS THAT TREE RIGHT HERE CLOSER UP. SO THEY ARE PROPOSING TO DO BULB OUTS, WHICH IS LIKE AN ISLAND INTO THE ROAD TO PROVIDE MORE SOIL VOLUME FOR THE TREE AND TO PROTECT IT WHEN SOME OF THESE DESIGNS HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. THEY HAVE ALSO COMMITTED TO A MINIMUM SOIL VOLUME REQUIREMENT FOR TYPE ONE TREES AT 900 CUBIC FEET, WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT A 30-FOOT BY 10-FOOT TREE BASIN, WHICH IS GIVING GOOD AMOUNT OF ROOM FOR ROOTS TO GROW INTO AND EXPAND. THEY ARE ALSO PROVIDING STRUCTURAL SOIL TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ROOTING VOLUME FOR NEW TYPE ONE TREES. 60% OF THE NEW STREET TREES ARE TO BE TYPE ONE SHADE TREES AS WELL. BASED ON ALL OF THESE ADDITIONAL SITE COMMITMENTS, THIS WAS TO HELP SUPPORT NATURAL RESOURCE'S FINDING OF CONSISTENCY. THAT'S IT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THAT IT BEFORE WE GO TO THE APPLICANT? >> YEP. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: APPLICANT. >> THANK YOU. I DO HAVE A PRESENTATION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY. GO AHEAD. >> SORRY, I WASN'T SEEING ANYTHING ON MY SCREEN. COUNCIL, JAKE CREMER WITH STEARNS MILLER WEAVER. CHAIRMAN, I THINK YOUR COMMENT REALLY HIT HOME FOR ME BECAUSE I THINK MY GENERATION WOULD SAY THIS REZONING HITS DIFFERENTLY. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT I'VE TALKED TO IN TAMPA AND TOLD THEM THAT OUR TEAM IS WORKING ON THIS PROJECT OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS. I'VE HEARD VERY SIMILAR STORIES. FOR THAT REASON THAT I'M REALLY PROUD THAT THA, PMG AND BANK OF AMERICA, CDC CAME TOGETHER. AND THIS IS REALLY A PUBLIC-PRIVATE COOPERATION TO MAKE THIS PROJECT HAPPEN FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF ROBLES PARK VILLAGE. THEY ASSEMBLED A GREAT TEAM. EVERYBODY ON OUR TEAM HAS WORKED ON SOME OF THE LARGEST PROJECTS IN TAMPA TODAY. ENCORE, WEST RIVER, ROME YARD, AND MANY OTHERS. WE'RE ALL REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT'S GONE INTO THIS OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS. TO KICK THINGS OFF, I'D LIKE YOU TO HEAR FROM DAN COAKLEY WITH PMG. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> DAN COAKLEY. I'M THE PRINCIPAL PMG AFFORDABLE, WHICH IS A SUBSIDIARY COMPANY OF PROPERTY MARKETS GROUP, NATIONAL MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPER BASED IN MIAMI. WE ARE HONORED TO BE TAMPA HOUSING AUTHORITY'S MASTER DEVELOPER PARTNER ALONG WITH BANC OF AMERICA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY ON THIS, WHAT WE BELIEVE WILL BE AN INCREDIBLY TRANSFORMATIONAL REDEVELOPMENT OF ROBLES PARK VILLAGE. AS A COMPANY, WE'VE DEVELOPED OVER 10,000 UNITS AND 10 BILLION DOLLARS' WORTH OF PROJECTS FROM NEW YORK TO MIAMI, SOME WELL-KNOWN BUILDINGS ALONG WITH BANC OF AMERICA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, I THINK OUR TRACK RECORD GOES INTO THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF UNITS THAT SPAN FROM THE LOWEST INCOME LEVELS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO MARKET-RATE HOUSING. REALLY, THIS PROJECT AS OF FOUR YEARS AGO BECAME A PASSION PROJECT FOR US. WE'VE BEEN IN THIS. WE WERE INVOLVED IN THE MASTER PLANNING OF THIS SITE. WE'VE HAD DOZENS OF MEETINGS WITH EXISTING RESIDENTS. HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITY CONTACTS, AND THE MASTER PLAN THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS FULLY A FUNCTION OF THE FEEDBACK INCORPORATING A GREAT DEAL OF FEEDBACK WE GOT FROM EXISTING RESIDENTS OF ROBLES AND THE LARGER COMMUNITY. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. I WANT TO THANK TAMPA HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP IN THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SPACE AND CITY STAFF FOR WORKING SO WELL WITH US SO FAR. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANKS, DAN. JAKE CREMER AGAIN, IF WE COULD GO BACK TO THE PRESENTATION. COUNCIL, AS STAFF EXPLAINED, THIS WAS REALLY HISTORICALLY WHAT WE CALL BARRACKS-STYLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE VISION IS TO TURN THIS INTO MULTIFAMILY MIXED USE, MIXED INCOME PROJECT, REALLY AMONG TAMPA'S BEST -- BEST NEW DISTRICT. AS DAN MENTIONED, THIS HAS BEEN A FOUR-YEAR JOURNEY. TAMPA HOUSING AUTHORITY DOES ASSIST IN ENGAGEMENT AND NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT IN MY OPINION BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE CITY. THEY'VE HAD MANY, MANY WORKSHOPS. THEY'VE HAD FOCUS GROUPS, STEERING COMMITTEES. WE EVEN HAD MEETINGS AS RECENTLY AS TWO WEEKS AGO WITH THE COMMUNITY TO GET THE WORD OUT AND LET PEOPLE KNOW WE'RE DOING AND HELP US ALL WORK ON THIS PROJECT TOGETHER. I THINK IT'S BECAUSE OF THAT THAT WE HAVE SUPPORT FROM NIMBY TAMPA AND WE JUST GOT A LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION. I DID NOT SEE THAT IN THE RECORD YET, SO I'LL SUBMIT THESE AS WELL. REALLY THANK BRIAN SEAL AND HIS ENTIRE COMMITTEE AND THAT BOARD FOR WORKING WITH US OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS. THE VISION, AS YOU'LL HEAR IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HEARINGS AS WELL, THE VISION HAS THREE PARTS. WE HAVE THE REZONING, WHICH IS WHERE WE'RE ESSENTIALLY DESIGNING A DISTRICT FOR THE 30-ACRE PROPERTY. WE HAVE THE BONUS AGREEMENT THAT GETS US TO THE 2.0 F.A.R. IN THIS DISTRICT. AND THEN WE HAVE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THAT REALLY -- THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT CONCEPT CAME OUT OF, FRANKLY, WHAT WE LEARNED IN WEST RIVER THAT WE WISHED WE HAD ONE. AND EVERYBODY FELT GOOD TO GET ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE BIG, BIG PROJECT FROM DAY ONE. THAT'S WHY WE'RE BRINGING ALL THESE THINGS TOGETHER AS A PACKAGE. WITH THAT, I'D LIKE LAND PLANNER DAVID SMITH TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE SITE PLAN. >> GOOD EVENING. DAVID SMITH, 401 EAST JACKSON STREET. DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT AND ZONING FOR STEARNS, WEAVER, MILLER. EVERYTHING JAKE JUST SAID EQUALLY EXCITED AND EVEN MORE TO CONTINUE THIS LEGACY WITH REDEVELOPMENT OF TAMPA HOUSING AUTHORITY PROJECTS FROM ENCORE, BACK IN 2008 TO TODAY. AS WAS INDICATED PREVIOUSLY AND WE'LL SKIP THROUGH THIS, BUT WE HAVE CMU 35 LAND USE THAT WAS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY TO BE CHANGED TO CMU 35 FROM RES 20 BACK ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO. THIS IS KIND OF THE INCREMENTAL IMPLEMENTATION STAGE OF WHAT STARTED WITH THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT. THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, SORRY FOR LOOKING UP. IT'S NOT ON THE SCREEN HERE. THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REALLY DOES A LOT OF THINGS. ONE, IT INTRODUCES MIXED USE INTO THE COMMUNITY. IT PROVIDES AN IMPROVED GRID NETWORK. IT PROVIDES CONNECTIVITY WITHIN THE EXISTING PROJECT AND ALSO CONNECTIVITY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. THE GRID SYSTEM IS GOING TO BE IMPROVED BY VARIOUS ROAD SEGMENTS PROVIDING EXTRA WIDE SIDEWALKS AND ALSO IN SOME OF THE ROAD CORRIDORS WILL ALSO HAVE BIKE PATHS, CENTRAL, I THINK F.D.O.T. RIGHT NOW IS PUTTING A SHARROW FOR BIKES. WE'LL HAVE ON-STREET PARKING IN THAT AREA. THIS IS THE GENERAL CONCEPT RIGHT NOW FOR THE MIX OF BUILDINGS. ERIC KIND OF STOLE THE THUNDER A LITTLE BIT, BUT THE MIXED USE BUILDINGS ARE BASICALLY CLUSTERED NORTH OF LAKE, SOUTH OF VIRGINIA, ALONG VIRGINIA TO PROVIDE TRANSITION TO THE RESIDENTIAL ACROSS VIRGINIA FROM US IS TOWNHOMES. SO WE'LL HAVE TOWNHOMES LINING THE NORTH BOUNDARY. WE'LL HAVE A SMALL CLUSTER OF TOWNHOMES ON A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT THA ADDED TO THE PROJECT THAT ACQUIRED. ACROSS ON CENTRAL. WE'LL HAVE TO THE SOUTH, WE'LL HAVE THE HUB. THE HUB IS A SERVICE BASED, BASICALLY DESIGNED TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY SERVICES, OPPORTUNITIES FOR VARIOUS AGENCIES TO COME IN. ALSO GATHERING PLACE, AND IT WILL BE REALLY A CENTRAL FOCUS. IF DAN HAD MORE TIME, HE WOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE HUB FOR LIKE 20 MINUTES. THE HUB IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART IN THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPT. THAT IS RIGHT CENTER STAGE JUST SOUTH OF LAKE. YOU CAN SEE NUMBER TWO THERE IN THE MIDDLE HAS A LITTLE SEMI CIRCLE PARK DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET TO THE SOUTH IS WHERE THE HUB WILL BE LOCATED, CENTRAL TO THE COMMUNITY AND THAT IS GOING TO BE HOPEFULLY THE FIRST THING THAT COMES OUT OF THE GROUND. AGAIN CONNECTIVITY. GO BACK TO THE SLIDE AGAIN. ACTUALLY, IF I CAN GO BACK, THE ONE THAT SHOWS IT BEST IS THIS ONE. YOU HAVE THE OLD DESIGN, WHICH WAS A BUNCH OF BASICALLY PRIVATE STREETS WHICH WERE DRIVE AISLES TO PARKING SPACES AND DRIVE AISLES NORTH AND WEST. NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, AND WEST. NOW WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS TO COME UP WITH A REALIGNMENT OF JEFFERSON. JEFFERSON IS GOING TO BE RUNNING NORTH AND SOUTH. IT WILL ALSO LINE UP WITH THE STREET TO ITS NORTH. NOW YOU HAVE A DIRECT LINE FOR DEVELOPMENT AND ALSO CONNECTIVITY RUNNING NORTH-SOUTH. THEN EAST-WEST ON THE NORTHERN BLOCK, NORTH OF LAKE, WE HAVE A PRIVATE ROAD AND REALLY IT'S PRIVATE BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH ACTIVITY THERE, THOSE WILL BE ENTRANCES TO THE PARKING GARAGES. PUTTING BACKFLOW PREVENTERS AND A LOT OF THE SERVICE ACTIVITIES BUT WE NEEDED TO HAVE THOSE, A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY IN THAT AREA IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE UTILITIES, BUT ALSO AT THE SAME TIME PROTECT THE CORRIDORS THAT WE'RE CREATING FOR THE PUBLIC ROADWAYS RUNNING NORTH AND SOUTH. AVON, WHICH GOES BY THE PARK WAS A DIAGONAL ESSENTIALLY DRIVE AISLE RUNNING DOWN TO ROBLES PARK. IT'S NOW GOING TO BE STRAIGHTENED OUT, REALIGNED. THERE'S GOING TO BE BIKE PATHS PUT IN THERE, WIDER SIDEWALKS TO AGAIN, TO ENHANCE NOT ONLY CONNECTIVITY FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH, BUT ALSO CONNECTIVITY FOR THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO GET DOWN TO ROBLES PARK THAT IS REALLY TURNED OUT TO BE MORE OF A GEM FOR THE COMMUNITY. I'VE LIVED IN TAMPA A LONG TIME. IT JUST USED TO BE WHERE THE WATER COLLECTED WHEN I-75 OVERFLOWED. AND NOW IT'S TURNED INTO A REALLY NICE COMMUNITY PARK, AND THEY HAVE ALSO TAKEN, WITH THE LAKE, IT'S TURNED INTO A STORAG% AREA THAT THEY CAN PUMP STORMWATER TO KEEP THE DRAINAGE LEVELS AND FLOOD LEVELS DOWN IN THE AREA. I'LL GET BACK ON TRACK. AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, WELL, IMPROVEMENT TO THE STREETSCAPE. AGAIN, THERE WILL BE BENCHES. THERE WILL BE STREET FURNITURE. THERE WILL BE REALLY PEOPLE WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE WALKING ON THE SIDEWALKS AND THROUGH THE COMMUNITY WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE TODAY IN THE SPLINTERED BARRACKS-STYLE DRIVE AISLES THAT ARE THROUGHOUT. ALSO, THE PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT HAVE FENCING AROUND THE BUILDINGS. SO WHAT WE HAVE NOW IS WE HAVE EYES ON THE STREET THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE STREET, LANDSCAPED CORRIDORS ALL AROUND AND THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY IN CONNECTING TO OUR NEIGHBORS. LOOKING AT THE AMENITIES AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS. THE GREEN AREAS ON THIS GRAPHIC SHOW THE CENTERPIECE PARK AND THEN WE HAVE STORMWATER RETENTION. THAT'S BEEN HOT TOPIC EARLIER TODAY, BUT WE HAVE TWO STORMWATER PONDS SET UP. ONE IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION, WHICH IS THE GREEN RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE PARK. AND THEN WE HAVE A CENTRAL CORE, WE CALL IT TRACT A. AND THAT IS GOING TO COLLECT THE STORMWATER FROM THESE BUILDINGS, COLLECT IT, TREAT IT, DISCHARGE IT INTO THE STORM SYSTEM. AGAIN, PREVENTING DISCHARGE AND FLOODING ON NEIGHBORING STREETS. SO EACH BUILDING WILL HAVE ITS OWN AMENITY PACKAGE. THEY'LL HAVE POOL AMENITIES, EXERCISE FACILITIES. THE MIXED USE BUILDINGS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A VARIETY OF RETAIL BUSINESSES TO COME INTO THE COMMUNITY. OUR USE LIST IS VERY LARGE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT SURE WHO ALL WILL WANT TO COME INTO THE BUILDINGS AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO SELL THE PROJECT SHORT BY NOT HAVING THE RANGE OF USES THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO COME AND BE PART OF THIS GOOD PROJECT. THE COMMUNITY HUB, THIS IS THE GRAPHIC THAT TALKS ABOUT THE PILLARS. HEALTH AND WELLNESS, EDUCATION, JOBS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, BASIC NEEDS, TOGETHER WITH BRINGING PEOPLE IN THAT WANT TO BE IN THE COMMUNITY FOR TRAINING PURPOSES AND GETTING TOGETHER IN A COMMUNITY RESOURCE. ZION CEMETERY, WHILE ZION CEMETERY IS -- THE WHOLE MEM IS NOT PART OF THE PROJECT, THIS IS KIND OF THE FIRST STEP TO GETTING ZION MEMORIAL AND THE CEMETERY RECOGNIZED. IT'S REMOVING BUILDINGS THAT ARE ENCROACHING ON THE CEMETERY TODAY. IT'S PRESERVING THE SPACE. BASICALLY FROM THE BACK OF THE TOWNHOMES DIRECTLY SOUTH KIND OF IN AN L IS WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE OWNERSHIP OF THA TODAY, AND THAT IS BEING PUT IN PLACE TO BE PART OF THE GREATER DEVELOPMENT AS THAT MOVES FORWARD FOR ZION CEMETERY. THESE ARE SOME RENDERINGS AND IT JUST GIVES YOU AN IDEA ON THE LEFT IS SHOWING ALL WHERE THE MIXED USE BUILDINGS, MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS WILL BE. THESE ARE JUST INSPIRATIONAL ELEVATIONS. NONE OF THE BUILDINGS -- WELL, ONE IS UNDERWAY BEING DESIGNED RIGHT NOW. BUT IT PROVIDES A CONTEXT FOR WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT. THE HEIGHTS ON THESE ARE 45 FEET MAXIMUM. AGAIN, AS INDICATED, 85-FOOT MAXIMUM HEIGHT ON THE MIXED USE BUILDINGS. ONLY ONE BUILDING WHERE THE GROCER IS ANTICIPATED TO BE LOCATED 150-FOOT. THAT IS ALSO THE FURTHEST WEST. RIGHT NOW, IT'S NEXT TO A CELL TOWER SITE THAT'S JUST OFF OF FLORIDA AND TO THE NORTH OF -- PARK. AGAIN, GARAGES WILL BE SCREENED PER THE CODE. THESE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF SCREENING. AND THEN THE SAMPLE RESIDENTIAL AMENITIES. POCKET PARKS, WALKING PATHS, GREEN PARKING BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND I THINK IN THE HUB AREA TO HAVE THAT TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THE TOP OF THAT GARAGE. POOL AMENITIES, COMMUNITY GARDENS PART OF THE PARK. ALSO GOING TO HAVE, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH ROBIN NIGH AND ALSO BE WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY TO INCORPORATE AND FURTHER SOUL WALK, THOSE PARTS GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH TAMPA, WORKING WITH THEM TO HAVE ART IN THE COMMUNITY SO THAT THIS IS NOT JUST A PLACE WHERE APARTMENTS ARE SET UP AND YOU WALK TO YOUR APARTMENT. YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WALK THROUGH AND ENJOY, FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH ART AS PART OF YOUR COMMUNITY. AGAIN, THIS IS A TRANSFORMATIVE DEVELOPMENT. IT'S MARKET RATE AND AFFORDABLE. AND I WILL STOP THERE AND BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I'M REALLY EXCITED TO BE PART OF IT. I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO JAKE. >> ONE FINAL COMMENT, COUNCIL. NOT TO LET THIS BE OVERLOOKED, BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE CREATING ABOUT 1200 OF THE ROUGHLY 1800 UNITS WILL BE AFFORDABLE. ROUGHLY THREE TIMES WHAT'S BEEN THERE HISTORICALLY. LAST COMMENT I WANTED TO MAKE IS WE DID SEND IN A REQUEST ASKING IF OUR SECOND READING, IF YOU'RE INCLINED TO ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD, IF THAT COULD BE MOVED TO AUGUST 8. THE REASON FOR THAT IS IT WOULD ALLOW US TO APPLY FOR STATE FUNDING DOLLARS TO TRY TO GET THIS PROJECT MOVING EVEN MORE QUICKLY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THIS PLAN. I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING THAT YOU -- WELL, LOST TRACK OF THOUGHT ON THAT ONE. THIS SEEMS VERY MINOR, BUT I THINK IT'S -- AS WE GO FORWARD AS A CITY THAT'S LOOKING AT ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, I JUST HAPPENED TO NOTICE, IF YOU PULL THE MAIN SITE PLAN UP, WHATEVER ONE YOU WANT TO SHOW, THAT'S FINE. SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MAKING AVON AVENUE A BIKEWAY. THAT DOESN'T CONNECT TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN LAKE AVENUE WHICH WON'T HAVE A BIKE LANE. WHAT WOULD BE GREAT IS TO CONNECT CENTRAL AVENUE, THE SHARROW THAT'S GOING TO BE NORTH OF HILLSBOROUGH AND CREATE A PROTECTED BIKE LANE BETWEEN YOUR PARKING. BECAUSE WHAT IT WILL DO IS TAKE PEOPLE DOWN TO THE PARK AND THEN THEY'LL GO AROUND. BECAUSE THIS BIKEWAY, THE BIKEWAY IS SUPPOSED TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 7th AVENUE AND THEN CONNECT TO THE RIVERWALK. THAT'S THE KIND OF THING AS AN URBAN CYCLIST, THIS IS AN AREA I AVOID BECAUSE CENTRAL AVENUE ISN'T A SAFE PLACE TO BIKE. AVON AVENUE, IT JUST DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE. IT DOESN'T CONNECT TO ANYTHING. THAT'S WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND. JUST, AGAIN, AND THEN THIS PHOTO OF A BIKE RACK. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE THEM PRETTY, BUT THEY DON'T WORK. SO I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THE BIKE RACKS GOING FORWARD BE THE SIMPLE U BIKE RACKS THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE. I KNOW THIS IS PIDDLY TOO, SITE PLAN, NUMBER 15 IS WHERE ALL THE BIKE RACKS ARE. THEY ARE ALL IN THE SUN. IN THE FLORIDA HEAT, IN THE FLORIDA RAIN, PEOPLE WHO CYCLE REALLY APPRECIATE PROTECTED BIKE RACKS IF YOU WANT A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT, UT HAS ONE ON NORTH BOULEVARD THAT'S REALLY LOVELY. AS YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT MAKING THIS A REAL MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMING, I LIKE THIS PLAN. I LOVE THE FACT THAT 120 OF THESE ARE AFFORDABLE. THAT WAS MY QUESTION FOR MR. KRAMER, I'LL COME BACK TO THAT. AS WE MAKE THIS A TRUE CONNECTIVITY WITH THE REST OF TAMPA HEIGHTS AND THE CITY, THOSE ARE THE CYCLING AMENITIES I'D LIKE TO SEE IMPROVED. AND THEN MY QUESTION FOR MR. CREMER, 1200 OF THE UNITS ARE AFFORDABLE. WE KNOW THAT AFFORDABLE HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS. CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO US WHAT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY'S DEFINITION OF AFFORDABLE WILL BE? >> SO THOSE 1250, OR OVER 1200, 80% AMI OR BELOW. THOSE ARE ALL LIE TECH UNITS. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE WOULD ANTICIPATE THERE BEING UNITS, MAYBE NOT -- MAYBE OR MAYBE NOT RESTRICTED BUT AT THE 120%, 100% AMI LEVEL. THOSE WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO THE 1200 THAT ARE 80% OR BELOW. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. I WANT TO SAY I REMEMBER THAT, BUT I APPRECIATE THAT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA, VIERA -- >> MAKE ONE COMMENT. COUNCILWOMAN, YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN ABOUT THE BICYCLE PARKING. I THINK THE REASON IT'S THERE, ON LAKE AVENUE, THAT IS OUR CENTRAL HUB OF WHERE WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY A BUS STOP. BUT I WILL COMMIT TO YOU WE WILL DISTRIBUTE BICYCLE PARKING AROUND THE PROJECT. >>LYNN HURTAK: THERE IS BICYCLE PARKING AROUND THE PROJECT BUT COVERED IS KEY. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO ENCOURAGE WITH EVERY PROJECT GOING FORWARD, AS MORE PEOPLE ARE USING BIKES, LET'S MAKE IT ENJOYABLE. RIGHT NOW IF I PARKED OUTSIDE CITY HALL, ON A CORNER IN THE SUN. WHEN I GET ON THE BIKE 8 HOURS LATER IT'S GOING TO BE HOT. SO WE REALLY WANT TO ENCOURAGE THAT. >> GLAD MADE THE COMMENT. THAT HELPED CLARIFY. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION AND THE THINGS THAT GO WITH A DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SIZE AND THE USEFULNESS THAT IS NEEDED. I CAN SAY THAT SOME OF THE FONDEST MEMORIES I HAVE IN MY LIFE WERE AT 1860 KETTLE COURT, PONCE De LEON PROJECT. TWO BUS LINES, THE THREE AND FOUR. THREE LEFT YOU OFF ON 26th AVENUE. YOU HAVE BOTH SIDES OF THE HOUSING PROJECT COVERED. IT WAS VERY INEXPENSIVE TO TAKE THE BUS. IT WAS ALMOST NOTHING. I THINK A NICKEL, TRANSFER TO GO TO ANOTHER SYSTEM, RIGHT SOMEWHERE ELSE. IT KEPT US BUSY ALL THE TIME AND TOOK A LOT OF PEOPLE TO WORK WHO DIDN'T HAVE THE FACILITIES TO GET TO WORK. I CAN ALSO TELL YOU THAT, AND EVEN BACK IN THE '50s WE HAD SOMETHING I DO NOT SEE IN THIS PLAN. IT WASN'T EVEN TALKED ABOUT THEN. WE HAD SOLAR HOT WATER TO REDUCE THE COST OF ENERGY FOR THE HOUSING -- I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO DO. I'M ASKING YOU -- THIS ENVIRONMENT THAT WE LIVE IN, WE'RE THE ONLY THINGS -- ANIMALS DON'T KILL ANIMALS UNLESS THEY WANT TO EAT. WE'RE KILLING OURSELVES FOR NO REASON. THE ENVIRONMENT IS BEING DESTROYED. FIRES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE MORE NOW THAN ANYTIME IN THE HISTORY. THE HURRICANES, I HOPE WE DON'T HAVE ANY, BUT ONCE THE DUST SETTLES COMING FROM AFRICA THIS WAY, I HOPE THAT I'M WRONG. WHEN YOU SEE THE ENVIRONMENT BEING DESTROYED, YOU CAN'T SAVE IT, BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP IT? I CAN TELL YOU THAT FROM LIVING IN THE HOUSING PROJECTS, I LEARNED A LOT. I LEARNED ABOUT SOLAR BEFORE IT WAS SOLAR. WE HAD IT. YOU LIVED AND YOU KNEW EVERYBODY AROUND YOU. YOU HAD CONVERSATION. THERE WAS NO THING OF BEING BY YOURSELF. YOU HAD TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND IT WAS LIKE, IF YOU ARE A YOUNG PERSON, A LOT OF KIDS TO PLAY WITH. ALL WENT TO THE SAME SCHOOL. YOU ALL ARE IN THE SAME CATEGORY AND WE ALL GOT ALONG PRETTY GOOD TOGETHER. NOTICE I SAID PRETTY GOOD TOGETHER. IT'S NOT ALWAYS HUNDRED PERCENT ANYWHERE YOU GO. I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF TREES BEING TAKEN OUT. I KNOW THE HOUSING AUTHORITY HAS A LOT OF LAND OTHER PLACES AND I WONDER IF YOU CAN SUPPLEMENT SOME OF THE TREES ON THE OTHER PROPERTIES YOU HAVE TO MAKE NATURE JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER. IT'S SOMETHING THAT I REALLY LIKE. I REALLY LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND PEOPLE OF AGE TO LIVE IN AN AREA LIKE THIS WHERE EVERYTHING IS NEW AND GIVES YOU HOPE. WHEN THE SUN SETS AND RISES, IT JUST DOESN'T SET SOMEWHERE ELSE AND RISES. IT RISES WITH YOU AND ENDS WITH YOU. YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO GET OUT WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU HOPE. IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU -- AND THE HELL WITH YOU. THAT DOESN'T GO. I CAN TELL YOU BY EXPERIENCE, A LOT OF DOCTORS, PERFORM MIRACLES IN CHEMISTRY AND EVERYTHING ELSE I GREW UP WITH ARE MUCH SMARTER THAN I AM. BUT I NEVER WANTED TO BE SMART. I JUST WANTED TO BE ME. THESE GIRLS AND BOYS THAT I GREW UP WITH HAVE DONE A LOT OF THINGS IN SOCIETY. YOU CAN WRITE A BOOK ABOUT THEM. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. BALLPLAYERS FROM BALLPLAYERS TO BASEBALL MAJOR LEAGUE AND SO FORTH AND SO ON, HAD THE HONOR OF PLAYING WITH ALL OF THOSE GUYS. BUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE IS OPENING THE DOOR AND LETTING THE SUN SHINE WHERE THEY HAVEN'T SEEN IT IN A LONG TIME AND I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR IT. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL THINGS YOU EVER SAID. I MEAN IT. I AGREE 100%. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: [INAUDIBLE] >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YOU HAVE TO BRING IT UP AGAIN. REALLY SMART. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING HE SAYS. COUNCILMAN VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO AND IN AGREEMENT WITH COMANS MIRANDA.% YOUR ENDING REMARK AN ALLOWING THE SUNSHINE TO SHINE ON FOLKS. THAT'S SOMETHING TO IMPORTANT. I WANTED TO COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. IT WAS VERY THOUGHTFUL GIVEN THE REALLY SOLEMN, LET'S FACE IT, SOLEMN MATERIAL WORKING WITH HERE. SOLEMN SUBJECT MATTER AND THE WAY YOU DID THIS BY HAVING TWO-THIRDS AFFORDABLE HOUSING, IT'S CONSISTENT I THINK WITH THE SOLEMN NATURE OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND VALUES. WE DON'T OFTEN GET DEVELOPMENTS WHERE WE GO, WOW, THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT OF VALUES. IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT PROFIT, NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, RIGHT. FREE MARKET, ET CETERA. BUT THIS IS ONE WHERE OBVIOUSLY YOU GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO AFFIRM VALUES OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND WHAT THAT MEANS TO US TODAY. I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL. I THINK IN DOING THAT YOU ALL RESPECT THE HISTORY OF THE LOCAL AREA BECAUSE YOU LOOK AT MOUNT ZION, AN AREA WHERE PEOPLE WHO WERE GROSSLY DISRESPECTED IN LIFE WERE EVEN MORE DISRESPECTED IN DEATH. SO BY AFFIRMING THE IDEA THAT YOU'RE GOING TO, LIKE COUNCILMAN MIRANDA SAID, ALLOW SUN LIGHT ON FOLKS WHO NEED THAT RESPECT AND DIGNITY AND BEING ABLE TO LIVE IN A NEW HOUSE, NEW COMMUNITY LIKE THIS, THAT'S EXCITING, YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE, FOR TEACHERS, TEACHERS' AIDES, FOR NURSES, WELDERS, ET CETERA, ET CETERA -- FAMILIES WHO ARE HERE TOO. I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL. BUT, AGAIN, IT GOES TO THE VALUES. AND I NEVER GET PERSONAL BUT I KNOW SOME OF YOU ALL WHO MADE THE PRESENTATION AND YOU-ALL GOT GOOD VALUES. YOU-ALL BELONG IN THIS PROJECT. I MEAN THAT. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I REALLY APPRECIATE SOME OF THE DESIGN. ONE, THE GREENSPACE IS REMARKABLE. I APPRECIATE THE RETENTION OF THE TREES. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DO NOT APPRECIATE TREES, GET ELECTED TO CITY COUNCIL AND YOU WILL FIND A NEW APPRECIATION FOR TREES. I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOVE TREES AS MUCH AS I DO NOW AS A CITY COUNCIL PERSON. IT'S FUNNY, BECAUSE YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE REDEVELOPMENT OF WHAT HAD BEEN TRADITIONALLY CLEARLY OUR PUBLIC HOUSING CONCEPT WAS A FAILURE THAT WAS DEVELOPED IN THE MID LAST CENTURY INSTITUTIONALIZING FOLKS IN SUBSTANDARD HOUSING. IT'S GOOD THAT WE'VE LEARNED FROM THAT MISTAKE AND WE'RE GROWING INTO SOMETHING THAT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE TRANSFORMATIONAL WITH THE MIXED PROJECTS. I HOPE YOU GET THE BALANCE BETWEEN THE INCOME LEVELS SO THAT IT WILL SUPPORT THE RETAIL AND THE AMENITIES AND THE GROCERY STORE. I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT AS WELL, THAT WE HAVE A GOOD BALANCE OF INCOME IN THIS AREA SO THAT, AGAIN, IT'S SUPPORIVE OF THE OTHER AMENITIES THAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO LIVE CLOSE TO. IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE AGAIN, THE GREENSPACE AND PEDESTRIAN AREAS BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE SEEING OVER OFF BOULEVARD. IT SEEMS SO STERILE AND SILOED. I REALLY HOPE -- I KNOW THESE ARE ALL CONCEPTUAL. I HOPE AS YOU DEVELOP THIS, IT DOESN'T TAKE ON A FEELING OF SILOS THAT THE INTEGRATION WITH THE GREENSPACE, THE INTEGRATION WITH THE ADJACENT FACILITIES, THE ADJACENT BUILDINGS IS THERE IN THE FINAL PLANS. I KNOW WE'LL END UP MOVING THIS FORWARD AND A LOT OF THIS WILL BE OUT OF OUR HANDS, BUT I REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE MAKING SURE THIS DOESN'T FEEL LIKE 8 OR 10 BUILDINGS THAT ARE SILOED AND INDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER, THAT THERE'S SOME COHESIVENESS THAT PEOPLE CAN FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PART OF A LARGER NEIGHBORHOOD INSTEAD OF GOING IN AND TAKING AN ELEVATOR TO THE UNIT AND BEING THERE, THAT THEY HAVE THAT INTEGRATION WITH THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I WAS LOOKING AT WHAT THE COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK SAID. I THINK IT'S WELL TAKEN ABOUT THE TRANSITION OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT BIKE LANE. MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN GO BACK AND LOOK AT SOMETHING LIKE THAT, TO MAKE SURE WE'RE INTEGRATING TO THE REST OF THE GREEN SPINE THROUGH THE CITY OF TAMPA. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE BUT I THINK DEFINITELY SOMETHING WORTH PURSUING. I APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE PURSUING THIS AND THE PARTNERS YOU HAVE. IT'S TRANSFORMATIONAL. HOPEFULLY IT WILL DO GOOD FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. WE HAVE THREE PEOPLE REGISTERED. THEY MIGHT BE HERE. THEY ARE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE. BRIAN CZAR LENGO, MICHAEL YATES AND CAMILLE GOODEN. IF YOU ARE HERE, YOU'RE HERE. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME. YES MA'AM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> REEVA IVAN. SURE YOU KNOW ME. HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN A WHILE. BE HONEST WITH YOU. AS YOU KNOW, I'M VERY EMBEDDED IN ROBLES PARK. I COME A LOT ABOUT ZION. VERY EMBEDDED FOR THIS REASON HERE IF YOU DON'T KNOW. SINCE 2017, WE HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED AS ROBLES PARK TENANT COUNCIL ASSOCIATION AND I AM THE PRESIDENT. THAT'S WHY I COME AND I SPEAK A LOT ABOUT ROBLES PARK AND IT IS VERY DEAR TO MY HEART WHEN IT COMES TO THE RESIDENTS THERE AND MYSELF. YOU BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES. I ALSO STAY ON KETTLE AS A CHILD AND PONCE De LEON. I'M HERE TO SAY THIS IS A CHANGE. IT'S NEW. IT'S WHAT WE NEED. IT'S WHAT THE COMMUNITY NEED. I'M A VERY BIG ADVOCATE OF CHANGE. FOR THOSE WHO KNOW ME, I'M VERY ADAMANT ABOUT WHEN I WANT SOMETHING. I KNOW I CAN'T HAVE EVERYTHING I WANT. WHEN I GO AFTER SOMETHING THAT I KNOW IS A GEM AND IS NICE AND WILL BRING CHANGE, I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL WE GET IT. SO I IMPLORE YOU ALL NOT JUST TODAY ON THE SECOND READING, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, BUT ROBLES PARK IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING SPECIAL. AS YOU KNOW ABOUT ZION. IT'S HISTORY IN THE MAKING. THIS CITY IS GROWING. EVERYONE IS MOVING HERE. EAST TAMPA REALLY DON'T HAVE TOO MUCH AS IT IS. THIS IS THE SECOND THING THAT WILL BRING THE EYE-OPENER AND EXCITEMENT TO EAST TAMPA. I APPLAUD YOU ALL FOR THE PARK THAT YOU VOTED ON. THAT IS THE FIRST THING THAT'S GOING TO BRING CHANGE. ROBLES PARK IS GOING TO BE THE SECOND THING THAT'S GOING TO BRING CHANGE. IT'S GOING TO PLACE THIS CITY IN A WAY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE BECAUSE THE CITY IS GROWING. I'M HERE FOR THE LONG HAUL. I'M HOPEFUL YOU ARE TOO. JUST ROBLES, JUST EAST TAMPA, NOT MUCH THERE, BUT I CAN GUARANTEE YOU, YOU HAVE -- NOW YOU HAVE ROBLES PARK. GOING TO BE SO MUCH PEOPLE WANT TO BRING THERE. IT WILL BE A CHANGE FOR EAST TAMPA. WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS, WHAT THEY ARE DOING, BELIEVE ME I'M ON EVERY SCENE. THE RESIDENTS AND MYSELF TO EVERY CHARRETTE, EVERY MEETING. I'VE BEEN THERE. I IMPLORE YOU ALL, FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, SUPPORT WHAT WE NEED FOR ROBLES PARK. I CAN TELL YOU ALL IT'S GOING TO MAKE EACH AND EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU HAPPY THAT THE FUTURE OF THAT PARTICULAR AREA, HOW IT WILL GROW AND SHINE. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER. MR. LETO. >> NAME WASN'T ON THE LIST. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THESE ARE REGISTERED SPEAKERS VIRTUALLY. I CALLED THE NAMES BECAUSE SOME MIGHT BE HERE. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> MANNY LETO. 3305 NORTH BAILEY STREET. I APPRECIATE THE TIME AND I APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS COUNCIL. AGAIN, I'M A LIFELONG TAMPA RESIDENT. I CURRENTLY RESIDE AT 3305 NORTH BAILEY STREET, WHICH IS JUST HALF A BLOCK FROM THE ROBLES PARK REDEVELOPMENT PLAN. I WANT TO BE CLEAR. I SUPPORT THIS PROJECT. THERE IS A LOT TO LIKE IN THIS PROJECT. I THINK ROBLES PARK IS OVERDUE FOR THE ATTENTION THAT IT'S RECEIVING. AGAIN, A LOT OF GOOD STUFF HERE. THIS TEAM I THINK IS A GOOD ONE AND THE INTENTIONS ARE GOOD. BUT THIS IS A GENERATIONAL, A TRANSFORMATIONAL URBAN INFILL PROJECT. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL TO REVIEW THIS PLAN CAREFULLY AND THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT HOW IT WILL FIT INTO THE CITY'S FUTURE. IMPORTANTLY, I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THE PROJECT CONNECTS AND INTEGRATES INTO THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD. CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE PLAN OF THE RENDERINGS THAT I HAVE SEEN APPEAR AS THOUGH THIS PROJECT IS TURNED INWARD ON ITSELF RATHER THAN FACING OUTWARD TOWARDS THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT'S PLANNED FOR JEFFERSON STREET AND EMILY WHERE I LIVE WILL RESULT REALLY IN THE BACK SIDE OF A SEVEN STORY BLANK WALL. INSTEAD, I'D LOVE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT TO STEP DOWN IN HEIGHT A LITTLE BIT. I'D LOVE FOR IT TO FACE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I THINK THE STREETSCAPE SHOULD BE ACTIVATED. WHEN IT'S COMPLETE, I HOPE THAT WHEN I LOOK AT JEFFERSON STREET I'M LOOKING AT FRONT DOORS, FRONT PORCHES, SMALL YARDS AND PEOPLE AND NOT BLANK WALLS AND DEAD END STREETS. THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE NOW. I JUST WANT TO THINK ABOUT HOW THIS PROJECT IS STEPPING DOWN IN INTEGRATING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS A WHOLE. THE OTHER THING I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT IS HOW THIS PROJECT COMPARES TO ENCORE, SPECIFICALLY WITH REGARD TO PARKING UTILIZATION AND ITS MIX OF MARKET RATE VERSUS AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, PARKING UTILIZATION AT ENCORE IS SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW PROJECTIONS. SO I DID SEE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT MAYBE REDUCING REQUIRED PARKING. I'D ENCOURAGE YOU TO EXPLORE THAT FURTHER. ESSENTIALLY, ENCORE WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, THEY BUILT TOO MUCH PARKING. LET'S NOT MAKE THAT SAME MISTAKE. I HAVE MORE COMMENTS THAN MY TIME WILL ALLOW. BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO WELCOME YOU TO MY HOUSE ON BAILEY STREET FOR A DRIVE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU. FOR THE RECORD, MR. LETO IS ONE OF TAMPA'S GREAT HISTORIANS. ALL RIGHT. NEXT SPEAKER. HE'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, SIR. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS WILLIAM SESSIONS. 512 EAST JAMES STREET, TAMPA HEIGHTS OUTSIDE OF ROBLES PARK. I'M GOING TO SAY SOME THINGS, 412 EAST NORDIA. EAST MORA, THAT'S WHERE I LIVED BACK IN 1980 SOMETHING. I AM A ROBLES PARK NATIVE. I LIVED THERE. I KNOW ABOUT WHEN IT WAS AND HOW IT WAS. I SPEAK TODAY IN SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT BECAUSE IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PROJECT. I HAVE SOME RESERVATIONS AND I'M GOING TO HOPE MY TIME LETS ME. CENTRAL AVENUE IS ONE OF THEM. CENTRAL AVENUE IS A VERY NICE STREET. IT DOES NOT NEED TO HAVE PARKING ON IT. NO NEED FOR PARKING ON THE STREET. ALL THE PARKING NEED TO BE INSIDE OF THE PARKING LOTS. DOES NOT NEED TO HAVE NO PARKING ON THAT STREET. REASON IS, TAMPA FIRE STATION NUMBER 5. THEY COME DOWN THE STREET. THEY GOT TO GO SOUTH. GOT TO GO NORTH. THEY DON'T NEED TO BE HAVING NOBODY BLOCKING THEM WHEN THEY ARE MOVING. I WANT THEM TO COME TO ME AS QUICK AS THEY CAN. NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GOING AROUND A CAR. THERE SHOULD BE NO PARKING ON CENTRAL AVENUE. TREES YES, PARKING NO. THE BIKE LANES, THOUGH, YES. BOTH SIDES ON NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE. I WANT THE BIKE LANES. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SHE DON'T BIKE OVER THERE. I UNDERSTAND WHY SHE DON'T. I DO. I UNDERSTAND WHY SHE DON'T. I WANT TO PULL OUT MY PHONE AND SHOW YOU WHY, BUT IT WOULD BE TOO TIME-CONSUMING BECAUSE I DID SEND AN E-MAIL OUT TO THREE AT-LARGE COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MY DISTRICT MEMBER. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GOT MY E-MAIL. IF YOU DID, YOU PROBABLY KNOW WHY. I DON'T KNOW IF THE ELMO WILL BE ABLE TO SHOW THIS. IF IT DOESN'T, I'LL JUST SPEAK WITHOUT IT. >> LET'S SEAR SEE HERE. LET'S SEE IF THEY CAN SHOW THAT. IF THEY CAN PULL THAT UP. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IT IS GOING TO TRANSITION UP. >> NO PROBLEM. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MOVE IT TO THE CAMERA. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IT IS TRANSITIONING OVER. >>LYNN HURTAK: IT HAS TO WARM UP. >> IT HAS GOT TO WARM UP. COME ON, CAMERA. TAKING YOUR TIME. NOW, I AM GOING TO TRY TO BLOW THIS UP. AND YOU CAN'T SEE IT BECAUSE IT IS REALLY GRAYISH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: KEEP ON GOING. >> THAT IS A BIG OAK TREE. I LOVE OAK TREES. I SENT AN E-MAIL TO MY COUNCILMEMBERS. YOU SEE BODIES. UNWANTED BODIES. UNPLEASANT BODIES. GIVE US SOME TIME. A STORE THERE. THAT STORE IS A PROBLEM FOR US. FIGHTS DISTURBANCES SHOOTINGS YOU NAME IT. THE STORE GOT TORN DOWN, PROBABLY NORTH ON LAKE. THAT PROBLEM HAS COME BACK SOUTH ON LAKE NOW TO THAT TREE AGAIN. WE DON'T WANT THAT. WE WANT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE SAFE AND CLEAN. I AM ASKING MY CITY COUNCILMEMBERS BEFORE I LEAVE HERE TO GET RID OF THAT PROBLEM. THEY DON'T BELONG THERE. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THEM TO BE THERE OR PARKED IN THE AREA. WE HAVE NO PARKING, NO STANDING, SIGNS ON OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET OR LAKE AVENUE. WE DON'T WANT THAT PROBLEM THERE. I AM A TAXPAYER. OTHER PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE TOO. I BUILT -- I HAVE A HOUSE 2002346 EAST JAMES. I KNOW THE AREA. I KNOW ROBLES PARK AND BEAUTIFUL AREA AND APPRECIATE THE PROJECT. PLEASE, GET RID OF THAT EYESORE BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE. IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT IS THE ADDRESS OR THE INTERSECTION? >> EAST BAKER STREET AND NORTH CENTRAL AVENUE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BAKER AND CENTRAL. >> EAST BAKER STREET AND CENTRAL AVENUE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK I AM FAMILIAR WITH WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYONE ELSE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? IF NOT, THE VIRTUAL SPEAKERS. I WILL CALL THE NAMES. ONE THE GENTLEMAN IS HERE. BRIAN ZARLINGA. WOULD YOU LIKE SPEAK? MICHAEL YATES? THESE ARE ALL YOUR TEAM SO YOU ARE GOOD? SAME WITH CAMILLE. >> YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT WAS I GOING -- ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS? IF NOT, GO TO REBUTTAL. GO AHEAD, SIR. DO YOU HAVERY BUTTAL. >> JAKE CREMER. COUPLE OF COMMENTS FROM DAVID SMITH, OUR LAND PLANNER. >> REGARDING THE GENERAL COMMENTS ABOUT LOOKING OUT. NO BLANK WALLS. THIS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO AVOID THAT. ONE, WHEN WE -- YOU CAN'T SEE IT ON THE ELMO, BUT THE -- THE TURN HOUSES ALONG THE SIDE ON VIRGINIA PARK PROVIDE YOU FRONT DOORS, WINDOWS, PEOPLE WALKING OUT TO THE STREET. ALONG THE PRINCIPALLY SINGLE-FAMILY VIRGINIA PARK. WHEN YOU GO DOWN CENTRAL, CENTRAL DOES HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY BUT HAS A MIX OF COMMERCIAL AS WELL. ON THAT PARTICULAR SIDE, THE RED REPRESENTS RETAIL -- GROUND FLOOR RETAIL. WE ARE LOOKING TO GET WINDOWS, DOORS, EYES ON THE STREET. YOU HAVE THE WINDOWS AND THE DOORS OF THE APARTMENTS FACING THAT SIDE. SO THE PARKING STRUCTURES WERE INSIDE THE COURTYARDS. SO WHEN YOU COME INTO THESE DEVELOPMENTS, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A HIGH WALL PARKING GARAGE FACING OUT ON THE STREET. IT IS ALL DESIGNED TO HAVE GROUND FLOOR RETAIL FACING THE STREETS, WINDOWS FACING THE STREETS. SOME OF THESE MAY ACTUALLY HAVE, YOU KNOW, APARTMENTS THAT GO OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. VERY FAMILIAR WITH ENCORE. ENCORE, WE TRIED VERY HARD TO GET THAT FEEL ON THE NEWER BUILDINGS. YES, THE PARKING RATIO THERE IS WERE HIGH. AND THEY WERE EVEN REDUCED AT THE TIME, BUT THEY WERE HIGH. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE PARKING RATIOS PROPOSED TODAY NOT TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, $17,000 PARKING SPACES IN A GARAGE SITTING EMPTY WHEN YOU CAN PUT THAT MONEY BACK IN THE DEVELOPMENTS OF THE QUALITY OF THE COMMUNITY. SO I THINK -- THOSE ARE SOME OF THE KEY ASPECTS OF THE DESIGN THAT -- THAT SHOULDN'T -- SHOULDN'T NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT AS IT MOVES FORWARD. THE ASSIGNED TEAM IS VERY SENSITIVE TO IT. WENT UP TO ZERO SETBACKS. GET THE BUILDINGS OUT IN THE STREETSCAPE MAKING AN URBAN SETTING. PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONNECTIVITY, WALKING PATHS. PUT PEOPLE ON THE STREETS WALKING AROUND. ALL SORTS OF SAFETY ISSUES. EYES ON THE STREET. A BETTER SITUATION THAN ALL THESE DEAD-ENDS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE ONE COMMENT REGARDING THE FIRE STATION, WE HEARD THAT SEVERAL TIMES. DURING THE ACTUAL DESIGN ON CENTRAL AND ALSO ON VIRGINIA PARK, WE DO HAVE ON-STREET PARKING. ON-STREET PARKING IS NOT GOING OUT INTO THE STREET. IT IS BASICALLY CUT INTO THE EXISTING RIGHT-OF-WAY WITH THE SIDEWALKS PUT BEHIND THEM. SO YOU END UP WITH, LIKE, EIGHT-FOOT SIDEWALKS. OFF PARKING SPACE. THEN THE FULL WIDTH LANES. WE CAN DESIGN AT THE CORNER THERE SO WHEN THE FIRE TRUCK COMES AROUND THE CORNER HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY PARKING AT THAT LOCATION. SAME THING GOING SOUTH ON CENTRAL. I WILL WORK WITH TRANSPORTATION STAFF DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PLAN APPROVAL AS THIS GOES IN TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO OBSTRUCTIONS TO PUBLIC SAFETY. LAST THING WE WANT TO DO IS INTERFERE WITH PUBLIC SAFETY BECAUSE WE WANT THIS TO BE NOT ONLY A SAFE PROJECT, BUT FOR THE COMMUNITY BEING POSITIVE. OTHER THAN THAT, I APPRECIATE THE TIME TONIGHT. AND WE DID WORK ON THE TREES QUITE A BIT, BY THE WAY, COMMISSIONER HURTAK. ERIN DID HER JOB. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND CARLSON. >>LYNN HURTAK: THE ONLY THING I WANT TO SAY IS SIDEWALK, BIKE LANE, PARKING. SIDEWALK, BIKE LANE -- PROTECTED BIKE LANES WHICH WILL BE A HUGE ACCESS AND WILL ENCOURAGE THE COMMUNITY TO FEEL SAFE ON BIKES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN -- >> CHAIRMAN, WOULD YOU MIND IF I MAKE ONE FINAL COMMENT. ONE THING TO MENTION, GOOD THING WITH PD-A. TIME FOR ENGAGEMENT WITH THE FOLKS HERE AND WE WILL GET THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, IT IS REALLY JUST STARTING FRANKLY AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE MEETINGS AS WE DEVELOP OUT THE PROJECT WITH THE PD-A. LAST COMMENT -- I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH MR. SHELBY AND WE WILL RESCIND OUR REQUEST TO MOVE UP THE HEARING DATE. SO WE WILL REQUEST AN AUGUST 22 READING DATE. THERE WAS -- THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION WITH WORKING WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE. BUT AUGUST 22, IF WE MOVE FORWARD, IS THE DATE WE WOULD REQUEST. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: JAKE, I JUST WANT TO -- I HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING. MY COLLEAGUES HAVE BEEN TALKING OPINION I WANT TO COMPLIMENT YOUR TEAM. IT'S -- SEEMS TO BE A GREAT, WELL PLANNED PROJECT. DAY LOFT THOUGHT AND A LOT OF AMENITIES AND EVERYTHING IS FANTASTIC. AND THE BEST NEWS I HEARD WAS 1200 UNITS AT 80% AMI. SO MANY PROJECTS WITH 1200 UNITS AND 140% AMI. AND YOU SAID THEY ARE -- THERE IS -- WHAT WOULD CALL WORK FORCE HOUSE ON TOP OF THAT 1200. AND MIXED USE -- AND MIXED INCOME HOUSE SWIG WHAT WE NEED. YOU ARE TAKINGINTO CONSIDERATION THE OUTSIDE AREA AND EVERYTHING. TWO THINGS REAL FAST. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON THE AESTHETICS, BUT I PRAY CONSIDERING HOW MUCH TIME YOU PUT IN THIS, THAT YOU CREATE SOME KIND OF ICONIC FACADES. YOU ALL TALKED ABOUT ENCORE A COUPLE OF TIMES .THAT WORRIES ME BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THEY DID THAT IN THEIR PROJECTS. BUT THE SECOND THING THAT, I WAS INVOLVED IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF ENCORE LIKE 20 YEARS AGO. AND T IT IS STILL NOT BUILT OUT. DRIVING BY THIS MORNING ASKING HOW MUCH LONGER DOES IT TAKE TO FINISH THESE PARCELS. I HOPE THIS DOESN'T DAYBREK 20 TO OR 25 YEARS TO BUILD OUT. I HOPE WE CAN DO IT MORE QUICKLY. MARTY CAN CUT ME OFF IF I AM NOT ALLOWED TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS. ANY IDEA OF THE TIMELINE OF THIS ONCE IT IS APPROVED? >> I WILL MENTION TO YOUR POINT OF ENCORE. ONE OF THE LESSONS LEARNED COMING UP WITH THIS DESIGN SCHEME AND BRINGING ON PMG AS THE MASTER DEVELOPER. >>. >> AS FAR S TIMELINE, ACTUALLY, WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO APPLY FOR MULTIPLE VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT PHASES SIMULTANEOUSLY OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WITH FLORIDA HOUSING. SO WE ARE GOING TO BE STARTING TO DEVELOP THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE PROPERTY FIRST, JUST FOR INFRASTRUCTURE REASONS. AND THAT'S WHERE THE HUB COMMUNITY FACILITY, THE 30,000-JAME-FOOT FACILITY WILL BE IN THE FIRST VERTICAL PHASE. AND WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO GET THE SENIOR PHASE, PARCEL E OF ABOUT 160 UNITS AND THE PARCEL D, FAMILY PHASE, WHICH WILL HAVE THE HUB IN IT OF 220 UNITS, FINANCED AS SOON AS WE CAN GET A FINANCE. WE WILL BE APPLYING FOR FINANCE ON BOTH OF THOSE PHASES IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF ROUNDS IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. SO HOPEFULLY, AT LEAST ONE OF THEM IF NOT BOTH OF THEM CAN BREAK GROUND BY THE END OF 2025. THAT WILL BE THE HOPE. >>BILL CARLSON: JUST FINAL COMMENT. YOU SEE THE PRESSURE WE HAVE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND MORE HOUSING STOCK. SO YOU CAN'T OVERCOMMUNICATE WITH US IF THIS IS APPROVED. PLEASE KEEP US POSTED ON HOW IT IS GOING AND WHAT THE TIMELINE IS, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WANT TO ECHO WHAT COUNCILMAN CARLSON SAID. AND ONE I THINK THAT COME TO MY MINDS. I TRY -- WHEN YOU LIVE IN HOUSING, YOU TRY TO REMEMBER EVERY LITTLE ROAD AND EVERY LITTLE STREET. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GENTLEMEN KNOW THE STREET THAT RUNS EAST AND WEST CALLED SHADY LANE ROAD. WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE SOUTHERN AREA THE WATER WHEN YOU START BUILDING, THERE IS A LITTLE STREET THAT RUNS FROM THERE -- A FACTORY THERE. IT USED TO BE A BRICK BUILDING ON THAT SIDE AND RUNS ALL THE WAY TO FLORIDA AVENUE. AND THAT -- WE USED TO -- WHEN WESTERN KIDS USED TO GO T TO MILIAN'S AT WAS GATHERING PLACE. I REMEMBER THAT ROAD LIKE THE GENTLEMAN IN THE BACK SHAKING HIS HEAD. I DON'T KNOW HOW TWO CARS COULD GO THROUGH BECAUSE MAYBE TWO BICYCLES COULD FIT THROUGH IT. THAT'S WHERE IT WAS. AND I WAS GOING BACK TO WHEN I GREW UP. AND THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND THE SUNSHINE, BROTHER. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION TO CLOSE. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SO MOVED. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SECOND. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
