HAVE A PRESENTATION, PLEASE. THANK YOU. MICHELLE BOONE, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. TODAY, WE ARE HERE FOR OUR ANNUAL CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION REPORT FOR OUR REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING. TODAY, WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT -- >>LYNN HURTAK: WHILE WE'RE WAITING, I JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON IS HERE. >>MICHELLE BOONE: HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH THE PRESENTATION. >>LYNN HURTAK: WE HAVE IT ON OUR SCREENS. THERE WE GO. >>MICHELLE BOONE: WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE TIMELINE AND THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE CAPER. THE RESOURCES AND INVESTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR OUR FEDERAL DOLLARS, WHICH INCLUDE OUR CDBG, HOME, ESG AND HOPWA DOLLARS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR OF OCTOBER 1 TO SEPTEMBER 30. WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE PRIORITY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES THAT WE ESTABLISHED IN OUR ACTION PLAN, PROGRAM YEAR 2024 AND THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN. WE WILL ACCEPT PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE PLAN AS WELL AS DISCUSS OUR TIMELINE. SO TODAY, THE TIMELINE IS WE ENDED OUR FISCAL YEAR AND OUR PROGRAM YEAR SEPTEMBER 30. WE FINALIZED ALL THE REPORTS, GATHERED ALL THE DATA THAT WE NEED. OUR FISCAL YEAR-END FINANCIALS. AND THEN WE SCHEDULE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR TODAY. WE ARE REQUIRED ONE PUBLIC HEARING AND A 15-DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, WHICH STARTED ON DECEMBER 1, THAT WILL RUN THROUGH DECEMBER THE 16. AFTER WHICH THAT POINT WE WILL FINALIZE OUR DRAFT DOCUMENT ITSELF AND THEN SUBMIT IT TO HUD BY DECEMBER THE 29th. SO SOME OF THE RESOURCES, THESE ARE, AGAIN, OUR FEDERAL DOLLARS. CDBG. THESE ARE OUR ALLOCATIONS FOR THE YEAR. WE ARE GENERALLY ALLOCATED APPROXIMATELY $13,560,000. THAT INCLUDES AN ESG RUSH ALLOCATION, WHICH IS A SPECIAL ALLOCATION FOR HOMELESS ACTIVITIES. AND THEN WE HAVE SOME CARRYOVER CDBG-CV MONEY, FINAL MONEY FOR COVID DOLLARS. WE DID EXTEND SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THE ALLOCATION. INCLUDES SOME ROLLOVER FUNDS IN SOME OF THE CATEGORIES. IF YOU'LL NOTICE THE ESG RUSH CATEGORY, WE HAVE NOT EXPENDED DOLLARS. WE JUST ENACTED THOSE AGREEMENTS THIS PAST QUARTER SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY REIMBURSEMENT REQUESTS YET. FOR OUR HOMELESS ASSISTANCE, THIS IS ACROSS OUR THREE FEDERAL PROGRAMS. WE SERVED A TOTAL OF 2,081 CLIENTS FOR SHELTER BEDS, HOMELESS PREVENTION, RAPID REHOUSING, SOME EMERGENCY SHELTER AND OUR TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WITH VOUCHERS FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. AND THEN AGAIN, SOME OF THE HOUSING ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES THAT WE FINALIZED THIS FISCAL YEAR, DIRECT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO HOME BUYERS, DPA PROGRAM. THE ZERO DOLLAR, BUT WE DO USE OUR STATE DOLLARS FOR THAT. IF YOU'LL NOTE AT THE BOTTOM, WE DID ASSIST 77 CLIENTS WITH OUR STATE DOLLARS, WHICH IS ABOUT $3 MILLION. WE BUILT TWO NEW HOUSING UNITS WITH OUR CHDO. WE REHABILITATED 16 SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING UNITS. WE REHABILITATED FIVE MULTIFAMILY UNITS, AND THROUGH OUR PUBLIC SERVICE AND HOUSING COUNSELING ACTIVITIES WE SERVED ALMOST 900. OUR HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS FUNDS COVERS A FOUR-COUNTY AREA. THE CITY MANAGES THE DOLLARS FOR THOSE FOUR COUNTIES, WHICH IS HERNANDO HILLSBOROUGH PASCO AND PINELLAS. THESE ARE SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT WE PROVIDED SHORT-TERM RENTAL ASSISTANCE, TENANT BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE. WE DO NOT TECHNICALLY ADD NEW UNITS OR BUILD NEW UNITS WITH THE HOPWA DOLLARS. HOUSING SHELTERS AND SUPPORT SERVICES. SO OUR ACTIONS TODAY IS TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, ACCEPT ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE AS WELL AS PROVIDE INFORMATION ON WHERE THE DOCUMENT CAN BE FOUND, WHICH IS ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE. ALSO PRINTED DOCUMENTS IN OUR OFFICE IF ANYONE WISHES TO COME VIEW THE DOCUMENTS OR MAKE ANY COMMENTS, THEY CAN CONTACT ME AND MY E-MAIL ADDRESS AND EVERYTHING IS UP THERE. WE WOULD INVITE ANY COMMENTS AT THIS TIME. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO COMMENT ON THIS TONIGHT? OKAY.

ACTUALLY, SO NOW WE NEED ANYONE WHO IS PLANNING TO SPEAK TONIGHT ON ANY ISSUE GOING FORWARD, IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO SPEAK, PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND TO BE SWORN IN. IF YOU EVEN THINK THAT YOU MIGHT POSSIBLY SPEAK, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE SITTING. STAND, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [OATH ADMINISTERED] ITEM NUMBER 4. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. FOR THE RECORD, CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE WITH DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. AGENDA 4 IS REZ 25-76, A REQUEST TO REZONE 901, 903, 905, 907 AND 911 EAST ELLICOTT STREET FROM SEMINOLE HEIGHTS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES. WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE COMPRISED OF MULTIPLE PARCELS. THE SITE IS LOCATED SOUTH OF EAST ELLICOTT STREET, EAST OF NORTH 9th STREET, AND WEST OF NORTH 10th STREET. THE SITE IS CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED. IT IS SURROUNDED BY SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS TO THE NORTH, EAST, AND SOUTH, ZONED SEMINOLE HEIGHTS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY. AS WELL AS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS TO THE WEST, ZONED COMMERCIAL GENERAL, WITH THE APPLICANT'S PROPOSED USE PROVIDING A TRANSITION BETWEEN COMMERCIAL ZONED PROPERTY AND THE EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED USES. THE SITE ALSO LIES WITHIN THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS DISTRICT AND MUST COMPLY WITH STANDARDS SET FORTH IN SECTION 27-211 AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING. THE SUBJECT SITE HAS A FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF RESIDENTIAL 20, WHICH ALLOWS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF UP TO 18 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE BY RIGHT AND UP TO 20 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE WITH A BONUS PROVISION. GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE SITE AT 33,553 SQUARE FEET IN AREA, MAXIMUM OF 13 UNITS IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT. WE DO HAVE A SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN, WE CAN SEE THE SITE IS PROPOSED WITH FOUR BUILDINGS. THERE ARE FOUR GUEST PARKING SPACES ORIENTED TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE SITE. THERE IS A TWO-WAY DRIVE AISLE RUNNING EAST TO WEST, PROVIDING INGRESS/EGRESS ALONG BOTH NORTH 9th STREET AND NORTH 10th STREET. THERE IS AN EXISTING 6-FOOT SIDEWALK ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY RUNNING EAST TO WEST WITH A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK PROPOSED TO RUN NORTH TO SOUTH ALONG NORTH 10th STREET AND A 6-FOOT SIDEWALK PROPOSED TO RUN NORTH TO SOUTH ON NORTH 9th STREET. EACH OF THESE UNITS WOULD HAVE A TWO-CAR GARAGE. LOOKING AT FRONT DOOR ORIENTATION IN BUILDING A, UNIT ONE WOULD HAVE FRONT DOOR ORIENTATION TOWARDS NORTH 9th STREET. HOWEVER, UNITS 2, 3 OF BUILDING A AS WELL AS UNITS 4, 5, AND 6 OF UNIT B WOULD HAVE FRONT DOORS ORIENTED TOWARD EAST ELLICOTT STREET. UNIT 7 WITHIN -- UNIT 7 WITHIN BUILDING B WOULD HAVE STREET FRONTAGE OR DOORS ORIENTED TOWARD NORTH 10th STREET AND THEN LOOKING AT BUILDING C, UNIT 8 WOULD HAVE ITS FRONT DOORS ORIENTED TOWARDS NORTH 9th STREET. WHEREAS UNITS 9 AND 10 WOULD HAVE THEIR DOORS ORIENTED TOWARDS THAT DRIVE AISLE. LASTLY, IN BUILDING D, UNITS 11 AND 12 WOULD HAVE THEIR FRONT DOORS ORIENTED TOWARDS THAT TWO-WAY DRIVE AISLE AND UNIT 13 IN BUILDING B WOULD HAVE FRONT DOORS ORIENTED TOWARDS THE STREET. NEXT WE DO HAVE SOME AERIALS. FOR BUILDING A NORTH, SOUTH, EAST -- OR EAST AND WEST. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE PROPOSED HEIGHTS FOR THESE BUILDINGS WOULD BE A MAX OF 35 FEET, WHICH IS IN LINE WITH THE MAX HEIGHT FOR OUR RS ZONING DISTRICTS. NEXT WE HAVE OUR AERIALS FOR BUILDING B. NEXT WE HAVE BUILDING C. LASTLY BUILDING D. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE ALSO THAT THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING ONE WAIVER, WHICH IS NOTED IN THE STAFF REPORT. WE DO HAVE SOME PHOTOS TO SHOW. THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE SUBJECT SITE LOOKING EAST. THIS PHOTO IS FROM THE NORTHEAST CORNER, NORTH 10th STREET, EAST ELLICOTT. THIS IS A VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE LOOKING SOUTH FROM EAST ELLICOTT. THIS IS THE NORTHWEST CORNER, EAST ELLICOTT, NORTH 9th STREET. NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE. ONE ADDITIONAL SHOWING A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN ON THE NORTH SIDE. PHOTOS TO THE EAST. SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE. THIS IS ALONG EAST NEW ORLEANS AVENUE. ADDITIONAL HOUSES ALONG EAST NEW ORLEANS AVENUE. WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE, AND ONE ADDITIONAL PROPERTY TO THE WEST. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE PETITION AND WE DO FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE APPLICABLE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION FURTHER MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED BY THE APPLICANT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. AS STATED ON THE REVISION SHEET, AND I WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY QUESTIONS. AGAIN, I CAN'T SEE COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN'S VIDEO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DO HAVE QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'M LOOKING AT IT TRYING TO SEE THE GARAGE SIZES. AM I CORRECT IN ASSUMING SOME OF THE GARAGE SIZES ARE AS SMALL AS 20 FEET WIDE? I WANT TO MAKE SURE WHAT I'M SEEING IS CORRECT WITH WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE THERE. >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: WE ARE SHOWING 22 FEET IN DEPTH AND 20 FEET IN WIDTH. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: 20 FEET WIDE. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW. MY OTHER QUESTIONS WILL BE FOR THE APPLICANT. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THERE WAS AN E-MAIL I RECEIVED FROM THE OLD SEMINOLE HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION LAND USE COMMITTEE CONCERNING ABOUT 4, REZ 25-76 STATING THEM THAT NOR THE PRESIDENT -- RECEIVED NOTICE UNDER SECTION 27-149 WITHIN 300 FEET OF THE ZONING PROPOSAL. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A FACT BUT I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL. >>LYNN HURTAK: MS. WELLS. >>CATE WELLS: GOOD EVENING. CATE WELLS, FOR THE RECORD, I RECEIVED A COPY OF THE E-MAIL THIS MORNING, I CHECKED WITH SULING LUCAS. SHE CONFIRMED ALL OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS THAT HAD BEEN NOTICED. I INDEPENDENTLY DID A SEARCH ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE TO IDENTIFY ALL OF THE REGISTERED ASSOCIATIONS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO RECEIVE NOTICE AND OLD SEMINOLE HEIGHTS WAS NOT INCLUDED FOR ANY OF THE FOLIO NUMBERS THAT ARE A PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. WE DID NOT SEE A MISNOTICE. THANK YOU FOR ASKING. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION. I NOTICED IN YOUR PHOTOS THAT EVERYTHING SURROUNDING IT WAS SINGLE-FAMILY. HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU FIND THIS CONSISTENT? [ APPLAUSE ] [ SOUNDING GAVEL ] NO NO NO. NO CLAPPING BECAUSE I'LL HAVE TO ASK PEOPLE TO LEAVE IF YOU CLAP. >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: JUST A MOMENT. LET ME GRAB MY AERIAL HERE. IN ANALYZING THE SITE AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING PARCELS, STAFF DOES RECOGNIZE THAT WE DO HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED TO THE NORTH, TO THE SOUTH, EAST, AND THE WEST. THERE ARE TWO THINGS WE LOOKED AT. WE LOOKED AT THESE PARCELS TO THE IMMEDIATE WEST. THEY WOULD BE ON THE WEST SIDE OF NORTH 9th STREET. THOSE PARCELS ARE ZONED SEMINOLE HEIGHTS COMMERCIAL GENERAL. SO WE HAD TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT ALTHOUGH THEY ARE DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS, THERE IS ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY IN THE FUTURE THEY COULD BE DEVELOPED FOR CG USES. SO WE LOOKED AT IT AND WE SAID, WELL, IF THE SITES WERE DEVELOPED FOR COMMERCIAL GENERAL USES, WE LOOKED AT HOW THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD FIT IN. IN TERMS OF IF YOU HAVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE FUTURE, LET'S SAY YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL GENERAL DEVELOPMENT BUILT HERE, THE TOWNHOMES WOULD PROVIDE A TRANSITION TO THOSE SINGLE-FAMILY USES THAT ARE TO THE EAST OF THAT CG ZONING. ADDITIONALLY, WE LOOKED AT THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF THE SITE. RESIDENTIAL 20 CALLS FOR MEDIUM AND LOWER DENSITY USES, SMALL SINGLE-FAMILY, FAMILY UNITS, AS WELL AS DUPLEXES, CONDOMINIUMS, TOWNHOMES, AS WELL AS MULTIFAMILY. SO WE LOOKED AT NOT ONLY THE USES THERE, BUT ALSO THE DENSITY LEVELS THAT ARE PERMITTED UNDER R-20. STANDARD DEVELOPMENT, UP TO 18 WITH A BONUS PROVISION, THEY CAN BUMP IT OUT TO 20 DWELLING UNITS AN ACRE. >>LYNN HURTAK: AGAIN, MY CONCERN IS WE DON'T GENERALLY SEE THIS. IT COULD BE COMMERCIAL GENERAL. IT'S NOT. IT CLEARLY ISN'T. SO, I MEAN, I JUST DON'T REMEMBER US -- YOU MAKING RULINGS BASED ON WHAT COULD BE INSTEAD OF WHAT IS. >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: WELL, WE HAVE TO FACTOR IN THE PERMITTED USES THAT ARE ALLOWED UNDER A ZONING. SO ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOT A USE THERE, WE DO HAVE TO THINK NOT ONLY WHAT IS THERE CURRENTLY, BUT ALSO IN THE COMING YEARS. SAME THING WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE MAY NOT SEE WHAT WOULD LOOK LIKE R-20 TYPES OF USES AS WELL AS DENSITY, BUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LOOKS AT THIS, WHAT'S THE VISION FOR THIS SITE AND OTHERS. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. THANK YOU. >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: YOU'RE WELCOME. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? APPLICANT. MR. THOMAS, IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE -- I'M SO SORRY, PLANNING COMMISSION. APOLOGIES. >>QUINN STEELE: QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THE SITE IS WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT. SOUTHEAST SEMINOLE HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD AND SEMINOLE HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE. ALSO WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE E. SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL 20 WHICH SUPPORTS LOW TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USES INCLUDING SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, TOWNHOMES AND MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT. WITH LIMITED NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL USES AT .5 F.A.R. R-10 IS LOCATED DIRECTLY EAST IN CMU 35 TO THE WEST ALONG NORTH NEBRASKA AVENUE WHICH IS A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR. THE REQUEST WOULD ALLOW 13 SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED DWELLING UNITS ON A VACANT SITE. CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE R-20 DESIGNATION. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FOUND THE OVERALL DESIGN COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA. THE PROJECT ORIENTS FRONT DOORS TOWARDS THE STREETS WHERE POSSIBLE, INCLUDES INTERNAL SIDEWALKS WITH UNITS 9 THROUGH 12 FACING INTERNAL DRIVE AISLE. WHILE IT MEETS THE INTENT OF HU 9.2.6, REMAINS POTENTIAL CONFLICTS FOR VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS WHEN CARS ARE BACKING OUT OF GARAGES WITH ZERO FOOT SETBACK. COMPATIBLE INFILL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN URBAN VILLAGE, PROVIDING ADDITIONAL HOUSING NEAR TRANSIT, EMPLOYMENT, AND COMMERCIAL USES. BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF IS REQUESTING A PAINTED CROSS WALK BETWEEN THE GUEST PARKING AREAS ALONG THE INTERNAL DRIVE AISLE TO IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. OVERALL, THIS REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ENVISIONED UNDER R-20 AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPLICANT. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. STEVE MICHELINI. AS YOU'VE HEARD FROM THE STAFF, BOTH THE CITY AND THE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION HAVE FOUND IT CONSISTENT. IT'S DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME A QUESTION IN ADVANCE OF A PRESENTATION THAT SEEMS TO BE LEADING TOWARD CONCERNS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT THAT GO BEYOND THE PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE OF BOTH STAFFS. WE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM. WE REMOVED UNITS SO THAT WE WOULD NOT BE PUSHING DENSITY ON THIS PROJECT. IT IS DESIGNATED AN R-20 AND IT IS AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL TO THE WEST AS WELL AS CLOSE PROXIMITY TO NEBRASKA AVENUE, WHICH IS A TRANSIT CORRIDOR. WE'VE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM. WE'RE PROVIDING DOUBLE THE GREENSPACE. I THINK YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN THAT ON THE SITE PLAN, BUT I'LL SHOW IT TO YOU AGAIN. THIS IS NOT AN INTENSIVE -- CAN YOU SEE THAT OR MOVE IT UP? IS THAT BETTER? >>LYNN HURTAK: THERE YOU GO. >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE PROVIDED AMPLE GREENSPACE IN THE CENTER HERE AND HERE, WHICH PROVIDES AN OPEN SPACE AND POTENTIAL RECREATION AREA, PASSIVE RECREATION AREA. WE FACED ALL OF THE DOORS, EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE OF THESE UNITS FACE THE INTERNAL DRIVEWAY. BUT ALL OF THE OTHER ONES FACE EITHER 10th, 9th OR ELLICOTT. WE'VE ALSO PROVIDED OVER 4,000 SQUARE FEET OF GREENSPACE, WHICH IS DOUBLE WHAT'S REQUIRED UNDER THE CODE. EXACTLY. WE'RE PROVIDING 12,738 SQUARE FEET OF GREENSPACE, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH AND IT'S A NOD TOWARD SENSITIVITY REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF. THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS ALREADY POINTED OUT TO YOU THAT IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE POLICIES. WE HAD THIS AT THE LAST MINUTE, WE HAD A LETTER FILED THAT SAID WE WERE MISNOTICE, WHICH THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT WE DID NOT MISNOTICE. IN FACT, WE USED ALL OF THE APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES ASSIGNED BY THE CITY TO IDENTIFY THE APPROPRIATE DESIGNATION AND NOTICES TO THE PROPERTIES AND THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS. WE'RE PROPOSING 13 UNITS. THE HEIGHT, MAXIMUM HEIGHT IS 35 FEET, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL THAT'S SURROUNDING THERE AS WELL AS THE OTHERS. THE SETBACKS ARE SEVEN FEET TO THE NORTH, 23 TO THE SOUTH, 20 TO THE EAST AND 20 TO THE WEST. WE'VE ALSO PROVIDED YOU WITH ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND FOR THE AREA THAT SHOWS THE BUFFERING THAT WE'RE PROVIDING FOR YOU FOR CONSIDERATION. AND THE BUFFERING IS, AGAIN, BACK TO THE SITE PLAN, 20 FEET ON THIS SIDE AND 20 FEET ON THIS SIDE. AND THAT'S THE AREAS THAT ARE CLOSEST TO THE RIGHTS-OF-WAY. GOING THROUGH THIS PROPOSAL, THERE WERE MORE UNITS THAT WERE INITIALLY PROPOSED, AND THE OWNER AND DEVELOPER REDUCED THOSE, REMOVED THEM FROM THE SITE PLAN IN CONSIDERATION OF THE DENSITY ISSUE THAT MIGHT COME UP. THE SITE LIES WITHIN THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS DISTRICT, AND WE'VE MET THE STANDARDS -- OR WE WILL HAVE TO MEET THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 27-211. AND THE DEVELOPMENT, AS I SAID, BY RIGHT IS 13 UNITS. WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE CRITERIA FOR CONSIDERATION, PROMOTE THE OFFICIAL AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF LAND AND INFRASTRUCTURE. BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS FOUND THAT THE SITE IS CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT SUBJECT TO 13 SINGLE UNITS. AND NATURAL RESOURCES HAS MET THROUGH THE APPLICANT'S PROCESS. WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ALL OF THE REQUIRED TREES ON-SITE. THE CODE TALKS ABOUT PROMOTING AND ENCOURAGING DEVELOPMENT IN APPROPRIATE LOCATION AND CHARACTER. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS WILL PROVIDE APPROPRIATE INFILL DEVELOPMENT. THE SITE IS SURROUNDED BY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL EAST AND SOUTH AND SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT DETACHED. THE WEST ZONING IS SEMINOLE HEIGHTS CG, WHICH IS THE COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION, WHICH IS A MUCH HIGHER INTENSIVE USE, WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE WEST. PROMOTE THE MORE DESIRABLE LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS AND ENVIRONMENTS. THE SITE IS CURRENTLY -- THE APPLICANT WE'RE REQUESTING THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS PD AND THE ATTACHED WOULD NOT ALLOW FOR THE CURRENT ZONING UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING. PROMOTES THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND ELEMENTS AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE CODE AND THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS ARE COMPLEMENTARY TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. WE'VE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THE STAFF OVER SEVERAL MONTHS TO COME UP WITH A PLAN WHICH WE THOUGHT ENHANCED THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND MADE A MINIMAL TYPE OF IMPACT FOR ANY OFF-SITE CONDITIONS. SO IN TERMS OF BEING COMPATIBLE, WE'VE BEEN FOUND COMPATIBLE WITH BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY STAFF. AND WE ARE CERTAINLY COMMITTING TO MAKING ANY REVISIONS NECESSARY BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING SHOULD COUNCIL APPROVE THE PROJECT. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: AND -- >>STEVE MICHELINI: I LEFT OUT THE GARAGES BEING 20 FEET BY 22. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCIL MEMBER YOUNG? >>NAYA YOUNG: WHEN I THINK OF DEVELOPMENT SUCH AS THIS IN SINGLE-FAMILY HOME NEIGHBORHOODS, I THINK ABOUT THERE ARE SOME -- I DO BELIEVE THERE ARE TOWNHOMES THAT ARE ON CENTRAL AVENUE, AND I THINK THEY ARE TWO-STORY, AND THEY HAVE FRONT PORCHES. THEY KIND OF FIT IN WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THEY WILL LOOK LIKE EXACTLY. BUT AS FAR AS FITTING IN WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IS THAT SOMETHING -- CAN I ASK THAT? IS THAT SOMETHING YOU ARE CONSIDERING. SINCE IT IS GOING INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS MOSTLY SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, SO THAT IT CAN FIT IN WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD? >>STEVE MICHELINI: WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT, THE ACTUAL DESIGN, COUNCIL, WE PROVIDE YOU WITH THE GENERAL CONCEPT OF A DESIGN. THE ACTUAL DESIGN WILL HAVE TO MEET THE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS DESIGN GUIDELINES. AND THOSE DESIGN GUIDELINES INCLUDE PORCHES, AND THAT'S WHY WE ALSO HAVE A SIX-FOOT SIDEWALK ON TWO SIDES. BUT IT INCLUDES A VARIETY OF FEATURES, WHICH WE CAN'T WAIVE. SO WE WILL HAVE SOMETHING THAT WILL BE LOOKING LIKE WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR, BUT IT WILL BE DEALT WITH AT THE PERMITTING STAGE AND NOT NORMALLY AT THE ZONING STAGE. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. MICHELINI, ONE, THIS IS A PD. I'M KIND OF SURPRISED THAT YOU BROUGHT THE PROJECT IN THIS FASHION WITH THE GARAGE SIZES. I'M SURPRISED BY THAT. SECONDLY, I'M GLAD COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG BROUGHT IT UP. THIS PROJECT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I MADE AN EFFORT TO GET TO THIS MEETING TONIGHT TO PARTICIPATE. WE PASS A PD, YOU'RE BRINGING US DESIGNS. IF THE INTENT OF THIS PD WAS TO HAVE FRONT PORCHES AND SOMETHING THAT BLENDED WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO SEE TONIGHT, NOT THESE BOXES WITH NO PORCHES, NO ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS, JUST A SQUARE BOX. AGAIN, TRYING TO PUT TOO MUCH ON TOO LITTLE. WHAT IS YOUR INTENTION OF SHOWING THIS COUNCIL THE FINAL DESIGNS SO THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY APPROVE? >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU WITH DESIGNS INCLUDING IF YOU WANTED MORE DETAIL ON THE ACTUAL LAYOUT. CERTAINLY, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO COMING BACK WITH A MORE DETAILED DESIGN, IF THAT'S YOUR WISHES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YEAH, MY QUESTION WOULD BE, DID YOU LOOK -- I SEE YOU HAVE THESE SPACES FOR THE VISITORS. DID YOU ENTERTAIN REQUESTING A WAIVER TO REDUCE THE VISITOR SPOTS TO BE ABLE TO WIDEN THESE OUT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE BIGGER GARAGES OR BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE CREATIVE TO CONFIRM WITH WHAT YOU KNOW IS A DESIRE FROM COUNCIL? >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE HAVE ADDITIONAL GREENSPACE THERE WHICH WOULD NOT REQUIRE US TO WAIVE THE VISITOR SPACES. SO WE COULD CONSIDER WIDENING THE UNITS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL WIDTH FOR GARAGES AND TO CLARIFY THE ISSUE REGARDING PORCHES IN THE FRONT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT I'M SEEING HERE IS SOMETHING THAT -- I KIND OF AGREE WITH WHAT COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK SAID EARLIER IN THE HEARING, MR. MICHELINI, IS THAT THE CURRENT BUILT-OUT ENVIRONMENT, GENERALLY WHAT THE COUNCIL LOOKS AT IS WHAT THE BUILT OUT ENVIRONMENT LOOKS LIKE TODAY. THE THEORETICAL ASPECT OF THIS IS KIND OF INCONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. EVEN THOUGH THAT PROPERTY BETWEEN NEBRASKA AND THAT STREET IS ZONED THAT COULD PROVIDE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF INTENSITY, RIGHT NOW IT IS SINGLE-FAMILY. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. GENERALLY, THAT'S ONE OF MY LEAST CONCERNS. MY CONCERNS, AGAIN, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE SEMINOLE HEIGHTS. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT JUST APPEARS TO ME THAT YOU'RE PUTTING A SMALLER -- OR THESE UNITS, TRYING TO SQUEEZE TOO MUCH ON TOO LITTLE. >>STEVE MICHELINI: IF THE COUNCIL WOULD ENTERTAIN A REQUEST TO CONTINUE THIS SO WE CAN COME BACK WITH BETTER DETAILS, I WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT WE CONTINUE THIS HEARING. >>LYNN HURTAK: GENERALLY SPEAKING, THAT IS NOT PART OF COUNCIL'S RULES, BUT I WILL ENTERTAIN -- >>LUIS VIERA: I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO A CONTINUANCE. IF THERE ARE CHANGES THAT SEEK TO ADDRESS COUNCIL'S APPARENT CONCERNS, I THINK THAT'S REASONABLE. MAYBE NOT. WE HAVE TO HEAR FROM THE FOLKS HERE ABOUT IT. I'M FINE WITH IT. >>STEVE MICHELINI: ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENS IS IF WE'RE WITHIN 30 DAYS OF A HEARING, WE CANNOT MAKE CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN AND GIVE YOU ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. WE COULD DO THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING IF IT WAS APPROVED ON FIRST READING. BUT I THINK THE CHANGES AND THE STAFF WILL PROBABLY TELL YOU THIS, THE CHANGES ARE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH IT WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK FOR STAFF REVIEW. THEY CAN CONFIRM THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: I DON'T THINK THAT'S NECESSARY. DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY WANT TO ENTERTAIN? THIS GOES AGAINST COUNCIL'S RULES. YES, MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF WE COULD HAVE STAFF ANSWER THAT QUESTION WITH REGARD TO WHAT IT WOULD TAKE, IN TERMS OF SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO A SITE PLAN. >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. LOOKING AT OUR CALENDAR AND OUR SCHEDULE HERE, WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT HAVING HIM BRING HIS REVISED PLAN TO DRC. SO WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT JANUARY 20th OR 21st, AND HE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THAT PLAN SUBMITTED BY JANUARY 6 TO US IN ORDER TO GET HIM SCHEDULED. THAT PUTS HIM OUT TO APRIL 9 FOR A TENTATIVE PUBLIC HEARING. >>LUIS VIERA: I KNOW IT REQUIRES A WAIVER OF THE RULES, AGAIN, I'M FINE WITH IT. I'D MAKE A MOTION, IF I MAY, AND SEE WHAT COUNCIL THINKS. >>STEVE MICHELINI: ONE THING I MIGHT WANT TO MENTION TO COUNCIL, NO ONE CONTACTED US REGARDING ANY CONCERNS REGARDING THIS. APPARENTLY THERE ARE CONCERNS. IT WOULD ALSO GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION TO DISCUSS THE SITE PLANS. >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMAN VIERA. IS THERE ANY SECOND? TO CONTINUE THIS. >>LUIS VIERA: I GUESS IT WOULD BE APRIL. >>STEVE MICHELINI: APRIL 9. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I'LL SECOND THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY COMMENT ON THAT? >>BILL CARLSON: ARE WE GOING TO TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT AS TO THE CONTINUANCE? >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, WE CAN. I'M JUST GOING TO SAY NO BECAUSE WE'RE OPENING A REALLY NASTY CAN OF WORMS. WE HAVE A RULE THAT SAYS ONCE YOU OPEN A HEARING, YOU CAN'T ASK FOR A CONTINUANCE. SO IF WE DO THIS ALL NIGHT TONIGHT -- IT SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE HERE WHO WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS. I'M NOT INCLINED TO GIVE IT A CONTINUANCE. BUT IT IS UP TO THE REST OF YOU. >>STEVE MICHELINI: COUNCIL, IF I COULD, WE ARE NOT ALWAYS -- >>LYNN HURTAK: RIGHT NOW COUNCIL IS DEBATING AMONGST OURSELVES. DO I HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENT ABOUT THIS BEFORE WE MAKE A VOTE? YES, THERE WAS A SECOND. WE HAVE A RULE ON COUNCIL, WE HAVE CREATED RULES FOR OURSELVES. AND THE RULE IS THAT ONCE YOU START A HEARING, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A CONTINUANCE. >>BILL CARLSON: YOU SAID THAT WE WERE GOING TO HEAR PUBLIC COMMENT AS TO THE CONTINUANCE BEFORE YOU VOTED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: COUNCIL'S PLEASURE. CERTAINLY, IF COUNCIL WISHES TO HEAR WHETHER PEOPLE WANT TO SAY -- FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HERE TO SPEAK TO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, BUT THE QUESTION IS, MR. MICHELINI, DID YOU WANT TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO -- DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A FULL THREE MINUTES, BUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU AGREE TO A CONTINUANCE OR NOT. MR. MICHELINI HAS INDICATED THAT WHAT HE INTENDS TO DO BETWEEN NOW AND APRIL 9. IT'S COUNCIL'S PLEASURE AS TO HOW YOU WISH TO PROCEED. THERE IS A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE FLOOR. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON WHAT WE WANT TO HAPPEN? >>MARTIN SHELBY: NOW, IF I CAN, MR. VIERA, YOUR MOTION IS TO CONTINUE IT TO APRIL 9, 2026. >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT WOULD BE AT 5:01 P.M. AT 315 -- >>LUIS VIERA: 315 EAST KENNEDY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: 33602. THAT'S THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR, MADAM CHAIR. >>LYNN HURTAK: LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET PUBLIC COMMENT. PUBLIC COMMENT ON WHETHER OR NOT FOR A CONTINUANCE. IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS AND WISH TO COMMENT ON A CONTINUANCE -- >>STEVE MICHELINI: THAT IS CONTINUANCE ONLY. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, ONLY ON THE CONTINUANCE. IF ANYBODY HERE WANTS TO SPEAK ON THE CONTINUANCE ONLY. IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS TONIGHT, COME ON UP. LET'S HEAR FROM YOU. >> GOOD EVENING. STEPHANIE POYNOR. YOU KNOW WHAT, WE USED TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO CONTINUE STUFF AFTER THEY PRESENTED AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT AND THEN EVERYBODY WHO IS HERE HAS TO COME BACK AND DO IT AGAIN. IT IS UNFAIR TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS. THERE IS A REASON WHY THIS RULE IS IN PLACE. SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN IT. HONESTLY, WE HAVE SEEN THIS MANY, MANY TIMES. OH, I BROUGHT SOMETHING THAT'S CRAPPY FORWARD AND NOW I'M WILLING TO FIX IT, NOT BEFORE. YOU DIDN'T -- HE OBVIOUSLY HASN'T MET WITH ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE WHO ARE UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS. WE DO NOT NEED TO GO DOWN THE ROAD OF MAKING EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULES. WE DO NOT NEED TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD AGAIN. IT IS AN UGLY, UGLY ROAD. WE DID IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, SO THIS WILL BE TWO TIMES IN A ROW. LET'S STOP IT NOW. STOP IS IMMEDIATELY. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU, NEXT. >> CARROLL ANN BENNETT. I WAS HERE HOUR AFTER HOUR AFTER HOUR WHEN WE HAD TO ENDURE REQUESTS FOR CONTINUANCES AT THE LAST MINUTE, AND SOMETIMES AFTER THE PRESENTATION HAD BEEN MADE. IT WAS JUST STAGGERING WASTE OF RESOURCES, OF CITY RESOURCES, OF NEIGHBORHOOD RESOURCES. IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO COME DOWN HERE. IT IS A TREMENDOUS CHALLENGE. AND TO ASK THEM TO COME BACK AGAIN, IT'S SUCH A BARRIER, AND IT WAS SUCH A PROBLEM THAT THE CITY COUNCIL IN ITS GREAT WISDOM, SOME OF YOU WHO WERE PART OF THE COUNCIL AT THAT TIME, INSTITUTED RULES ABOUT CONTINUANCES. THEY HAVE TO BE DONE A WEEK IN ADVANCE. ALL KINDS OF RULES AND THEY WERE DONE FOR A GOOD REASON. THE REASONS STILL EXIST. I PLEASE URGE YOU, LET'S NOT BACKSLIDE. THINGS ARE PREDICTABLE. VOTE NO ON THE CONTINUANCE. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. NEXT. >> GOOD EVENING. ELISE BATSEL, STEARNS WEAVER. OFTEN I REPRESENT APPLICANTS COMING BEFORE YOU. IN MOST JURISDICTIONS, THERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK FOR CONTINUANCE, PARTICULARLY IN CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE TONIGHT WITH MR. MICHELINI'S CASE, WHERE HE WASN'T CONTACTED BY ANY NEIGHBORS. STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, AND HE HADN'T HEARD CONCERNS UNTIL THAT NIGHT. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE SIMPLE THINGS HE COULD DO TO COME BACK THAT MIGHT ADDRESS CONCERNS. WE OFTEN HEAR THIS WHEN WE COME TO CITY COUNCIL, AND IT'S OFTEN FRUSTRATING FOR THE PROCESS AS WELL WHEN AN APPLICANT, PARTICULARLY A VERY SMALL APPLICANT THAT DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF RESOURCES TO DO RENDERINGS AND DRAWINGS. IT REALLY STIFLES THEIR ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD ON AN APPLICATION. I WANTED TO PUT FORWARD THAT OTHER POSITION. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT. >> SHAWN PATEL. MOVING FORWARD, I CAN'T MEET APRIL 9, SO I WON'T BE HERE TO GIVE MY OPINION ON THAT TIME OF THE ACTUAL THING. THERE'S PROBABLY OTHER APPLICANTS -- OTHER PEOPLE LIKE THAT THAT WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK FOR THE APRIL 9. I SAY NO TO THE CONTINUANCE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT. >> DEBBIE ZOMERMAAND. I WOULD AGREE WITH MANY OF THE PRIOR SPEAKERS, THAT THE CONTINUANCE IS INAPPROPRIATE. US AND THE PUBLIC ARE COMING BACK TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME FOR ITEMS IN FRONT OF YOU THAT ARE REQUIRING CONTINUANCES. WE'RE ALL VOLUNTEERS. NONE OF US ARE GETTING PAID. NOT ONLY CONTINUANCES, BUT DELAYS. IT JUST MAKES IT TO WHERE IT IS LESS LIKELY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE FULL NUMBER OF PEOPLE THERE TO SPEAK TO AN ITEM THAT AREN'T LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, HERE TONIGHT. THE APPLICANTS NEED TO BE PREPARED AND BE READY TO MOVE FORWARD. I WOULD REQUEST THAT YOU DENY THIS CONTINUANCE, PLEASE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ENGINES. IF NO ONE ELSE IS STANDING UP, THIS WILL BE OUR LAST PUBLIC SPEAKER. OKAY, I HAVE MORE PEOPLE. >> ALAN NUÑEZ. I SAY NO TO THE CONTINUANCE. LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, WE SHARE THE SAME SENTIMENT. WE ARE HERE. WE MADE THE TIME TO COME DOWN. 5:00, RUSH HOUR. AS AN EDUCATED ARCHITECT, IF I SHOWED UP TO A JURY PRESENTATION NOT PREPARED, I WOULD GET CRUSHED. NO TO THE CONTINUANCE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT. >> THOMAS MILELOW. I LIVE ON EAST CARACAS, THE CORNER OF 9th AND CARACAS. IT IS ONE OF THE CG MENTIONED HOMES THAT I LIVED IN FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I AM NOT MOVING. I AM NOT SELLING MY PROPERTY. PEOPLE ASK ME EVERY DAY ON THE PHONE IF I'M SELLING. I'M NOT SELLING MY PROPERTY. >>LYNN HURTAK: THIS IS TO THE CONTINUANCE ONLY. >> NO TO THE CONTINUANCE AT THIS POINT. >>LYNN HURTAK: REMEMBER, WE ARE TALKING ONLY ABOUT THE CONTINUANCE. >> MY NAME IS LANCE ACKERMAN. I DO LIVE ON THE -- ONE OF THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY SITES ON THE WEST SIDE THAT WAS DISCUSSED. ON THE CONTINUANCE, I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE CONTINUANCE, TO CHANGE SOMETHING OR THIS. BUT THAT STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT WE'RE DOING A CONTINUANCE. WE HAVE TO BRING US BACK HERE AGAIN. WE ALL TOOK OFF OF WORK. THAT STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THAT -- THAT THERE ARE ROADS OF ELLICOTT AND THAT OUT ROAD COMES WITHIN LESS THAN A HALF BLOCK. YOU'VE GOT CARS TURNING IN THERE, WHICH DOESN'T CHANGE THE REASON FOR THE CONTINUANCE OF CHANGING WHAT THE TOWNHOME LOOKS LIKE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT, AND THIS WILL BE OUR LAST SPEAKER TO THE CONTINUANCE, UNLESS I SEE ANYONE ELSE. >> I'M KIM NOONAN. I LIVE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, AND I VOTE NO FOR THE CONTINUANCE. ALSO, NONE OF US WERE DIRECTLY REACHED FOR ANY DISCUSSION OF THIS. ALL WE GOT WAS THE FORMALITY OF THE HEARING. NOTHING WAS SAID LET'S MEET, LET'S WORK TOGETHER, SO NO. NO CONTINUANCE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. COUNCIL -- >>STEVE MICHELINI: COUNCIL, MAY I ADDRESS YOU FOR A SECOND? >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. >>STEVE MICHELINI: COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, YOU INSTITUTED TWO NOTICES, ONE A NOTICE OF FILING. THE INTENT WAS TO ALLOW HOMEOWNERS AND HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS TO CONTACT THE APPLICANT, WHOEVER IT WAS. OBVIOUSLY, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ONE CALL, NOT ONE, REGARDING THIS PROJECT OR ANY CONCERNS RELATED TO IT. SO THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HEAR ABOUT CONCERNS IS TONIGHT. I THINK AS A MATTER OF DUE PROCESS AND FAIRNESS, WE NEED AN OPPORTUNITY, AND THEY MAY COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION THAT THEY DON'T LIKE IT. BUT WE CERTAINLY DESERVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS, WHICH WE'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE. AND THE STAFF, BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY STAFF FOUND IT CONSISTENT. HERE WE COME IN HERE AND IT IS NOT A MATTER OF NOT BEING PREPARED. WE ARE PREPARED. WE ARE PREPARED TO GO WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION AND FOLLOW WHAT THEY REVIEWED THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THEM. SO WHEN WE COME DOWN HERE -- I FEEL FOR THE NEIGHBORS THAT CAME DOWN TO TALK, BUT THEY HAD A CERTAIN OBLIGATION, AND THE COUNCIL PUT THAT OBLIGATION ON THE HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS AND ON THE NEIGHBORS. AND THEY SAID, OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO DO TWO NOTICES, WHICH IS AN EXTRAORDINARY MEASURE TO BEGIN WITH. WE'LL POST THE SIGNS UP THERE SO YOU HAVE A CONTACT PHONE NUMBER. YOU HAVE A SCAN THAT YOU CAN GO AND SCAN TO SEE WHAT THE PROJECT LOOKED LIKE. NO ONE TOOK ANY ADVANTAGE OF THAT. I'M JUST SAYING, AS A MATTER OF FAIRNESS, WE WOULD APPRECIATE -- I KNOW THE COUNCIL RULES ABOUT ONCE YOU START A PRESENTATION, I'M AWARE OF IT. I'M JUST SAYING THERE ARE EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES HERE THAT WE DESERVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE PLAN AND MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU, MR. MICHELINI. YES, MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY. COUNCIL, AND THANK YOU, MR. MIRANDA, FOR BRINGING INTO THE RECORD THE LETTER THAT YOU HAD RECEIVED REGARDING NEIGHBORHOODS GETTING NOTICE ABOUT THIS. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME INVESTIGATION THIS MORNING. IT'S COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT I BELIEVE THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS IS LEGALLY NOT A MISNOTICE, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A LACK OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PERHAPS -- I'M SPECULATING TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, BUT WITH THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO THE APPLICANT TO SEND OUT NOTICE AND THE ACTUAL NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WERE AFFECTED. >>LYNN HURTAK: WELL, I LOOKED AT THAT NOTICE LIST, AND THERE WERE TWO FOR THE ACTUAL NEIGHBORHOOD ITSELF. MY QUESTION TO MR. MICHELINI IS, DID YOU REACH OUT TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD? DID YOU CALL THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD? DID YOU REACH OUT TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION? IT IS A VERY ACTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. >>STEVE MICHELINI: NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT. THERE IS A SERVICE THAT WE HIRE THAT'S PART OF THE ENGINEERING SERVICE. I DIDN'T PERSONALLY. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S MY QUESTION. DID YOU PERSONALLY? >>STEVE MICHELINI: I DIDN'T PERSONALLY. BUT THE OBLIGATION RESTS ON TWO SIDES, NOT JUST ONE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN -- [ LAUGHTER ] [ SOUNDING GAVEL ] >>LYNN HURTAK: NO. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MADAM CHAIR, IF I CAN, ALSO, I SHOULD POINT OUT THAT YOUR CODE AS PRESENTLY WRITTEN DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT. IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT OF YOUR CODE. IF IT'S COUNCIL'S PLEASURE TO MAKE THAT A REQUIREMENT, THEN THAT HAS TO BE PLACED INTO THE CODE, BUT IT IS NOT A BASIS FOR A DECISION IN THIS CASE. >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU ARE CORRECT. IT IS NOT. I JUST SIMPLY ASKED A QUESTION. WE HAVE A VOTE IN FRONT OF US. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO A ROLL CALL VOTE FOR THIS. WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA TO CONTINUE IT TO APRIL 9. WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS ARE IF YOU VOTE TO CONTINUE THIS, THEN IT WOULD BE A CONTINUED FIRST READING AND PUBLIC HEARING. IT WOULD COME BACK ON APRIL 9. MR. MICHELINI HAS MADE REPRESENTATIONS OF WHAT HE WOULD ACCOMPLISH BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. YOU WOULD NOT NEED TO TAKE ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. MR. MICHELINI, AS OF NOW AS WE SPEAK HAS AGREED TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. HE HAS NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE ENTIRE TESTIMONY TONIGHT OF THE COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN ORDER TO MAKE A DECISION. SO IF IT IS CONTINUED, IT WILL COME BACK AND WHATEVER CHANGES MR. MICHELINI CHOOSES TO MAKE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE AS MR. DEMANCHE HAS STATED. IF THE MOTION TO CONTINUE FAILS, THEN MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THAT YOU CONTINUE WITH THIS HEARING. YOU CONTINUE TO TAKE THE FULL TESTIMONY OF ALL THE COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT EXISTS FOR TONIGHT IN THE RECORD, AND THEN COME TO A DECISION AT THE POINT THAT YOU CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AFTER REBUTTAL OF WHAT IT IS COUNCIL WISHES TO DO WITH REGARD TO THIS PARTICULAR PETITION. >>LYNN HURTAK: SO JUST DO OUR NORMAL STUFF. OKAY. GREAT. GO AHEAD. >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. WE WOULD JUST ADD THAT WITH THAT MOTION, IF YOU COULD JUST INCLUDE A WAIVER OF THE 180 DAYS. >>LYNN HURTAK: WAIVER OF 180 DAYS AND RENOTICE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I DON'T BELIEVE I HEARD FROM MR. MICHELINI AS TO WHETHER HE WOULD RENOTICE. >>STEVE MICHELINI: YES, SIR. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE ANSWER IS, YES, YOU WOULD RENOTICE. THANK YOU. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>NAYA YOUNG: [INAUDIBLE] >>LUIS VIERA: YES. >>BILL CARLSON: NO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: NO. >>LYNN HURTAK: NO. >>THE CLERK: THE MOTION FAILS WITH YOUNG, CARLSON, CLENDENIN, AND HURTAK VOTING NO. >>LYNN HURTAK: MR. MICHELINI, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TONIGHT? >>STEVE MICHELINI: THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. I GUESS WE'LL HEAR FROM THE NEIGHBORS. >>LYNN HURTAK: NOW I HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. ANYONE WHO WISHES TO PUBLICLY COMMENT TONIGHT IS GOING TO STAND ON THIS SIDE, PLEASE. IF YOU HAVE ENTERED THE CHAMBERS SINCE WE SWORE PEOPLE IN, WE'LL DO ANOTHER SWEARING IN BECAUSE I SAW SEVERAL PEOPLE COME IN. IF YOU PLAN TO SPEAK TONIGHT AND YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SWORN IN, PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND TO BE SWORN IN. >>STEVE MICHELINI: EXCUSE ME, COUNCIL, BUT THE OWNER JUST ADVISED ME WE WISH TO WITHDRAW THE REQUEST. WE WISH TO WITHDRAW THE PETITION. >>MARTIN SHELBY: OKAY. FOR THE RECORD, YOU WISH TO WITHDRAW AT THIS TIME? >>STEVE MICHELINI: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION TO WITHDRAW ITEM NUMBER 4. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: REZ 25-76. >>LYNN HURTAK: CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT THAT MEANS? [ SOUNDING GAVEL ] IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THIS YOU'VE GOT TO STOP TALKING. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF WE COULD, MS. WELLS, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU WANT TO STATE IT OR MR. DEMANCHE FROM STAFF, WHAT CONSTITUTES A WITHDRAWAL AND WHAT IS THE EFFECT, PLEASE. >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. WITHDRAWING WOULD BE PULLING IT FROM THE FURTHER REVIEW CONSIDERATION BY COUNCIL. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN TO AN APPLICANT WANTING TO GO -- GO AHEAD. >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: THEY WOULD HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR BEFORE COMING BACK. >>MARTIN SHELBY: UNLESS THERE WAS A SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATION TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF CITY COUNCIL. OKAY NO. >>LYNN HURTAK: FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, WITHDRAWING IS JUST TAKING IT AND IT'S GONE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REFILED. >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: YES. THEY ARE PULLING FROM THE PROCESS. IF THEY WERE DENIED, THEN THERE WOULD BE A PERIOD. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. MICHELINI, IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WANTED TO ADD SOMETHING OR SAY SOMETHING. >>STEVE MICHELINI: WE WISH TO WITHDRAW THE PETITION SO IT IS NO LONGER BEFORE COUNCIL. THERE'S NO LONGER A DISCUSSION FOR THIS ITEM ON YOUR AGENDA. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT'S GOOD. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION TO WITHDRAW REZ 25-76. >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A MOTION TO WITHDRAW FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. I HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. ANY DISCUSSION? OKAY. ALL IN FAVOR -- I'M SO SORRY. WE HAVE TO ROLL CALL BECAUSE OF MR. CLENDENIN. ROLL CALL, PLEASE. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. >>NAYA YOUNG: YES. >>LUIS VIERA: YES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YES. >>THE CLERK: MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ITEM 4 HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN. IT'S NO LONGER HERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 5 5. YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M GOING TO GIVE A MINUTE FOR COUNCIL CHAMBERS TO CLEAR. JUST ONE MINUTE. DON'T GO ANYWHERE. WE'RE NOT TAKING FIVE. WE'RE TAKING ONE. I'M JUST LETTING THESE PEOPLE LEAVE. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 5. >>STEPHANIE POPE: GOOD EVENING. STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 5 IS REZ 25-88, REQUEST TO REZONE 2316 WEST NORTH B STREET FROM RM 16 TO PD FOR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED USES. WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED. ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF NORTH B STREET. THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES. NORTH, WEST, AND EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS COMPRISED OF RESIDENTIAL USES. SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE IS COMMERCIAL AND THEN THIS PD, WHICH IS A RESIDENTIAL, AND WEST OF THE SITE IS RESIDENTIAL. THERE ARE SEVERAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA, INCLUDING ONE WEST OF THE SITE RECENTLY APPROVED WITH RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY, SEMI DETACHED USES. AND THERE ARE A FEW IN THE GENERAL AREA. THAT ONE IS HERE. THERE IS ONE HERE THAT WAS APPROVED FOR RESIDENTIAL OFFICE USES, AND THEN THIS ONE, WHICH IS THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT WHICH WAS APPROVED FOR MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL CONDO USE. NEXT I'LL SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN. HERE IS THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES ONE BUILDING COMPRISED OF TWO UNITS. FRONT DOOR ORIENTATION IS TOWARDS NORTH B STREET WITH FRONT PORCHES AND INTERNAL SIDEWALK CONNECTIONS TO THE EXISTING SIX FOOT SIDEWALK. EACH UNIT PROPOSES A TWO CAR GARAGE WITH ACCESS FROM THE 15-FOOT PLATTED ALLEY TO THE REAR. THE SITE IS IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY AND MUST COMPLY WITH REGULATIONS AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING. THE FUTURE LAND USE IS R-20 WHICH ALLOWS FOR UP TO 18 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE BY RIGHT OR 20 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE WITH BONUS PROVISIONS MET. GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE SUBJECT PARCEL, A MAXIMUM OF ONE UNIT CAN BE DEVELOPED BY RIGHT AND TWO UNITS WITH BONUS PROVISIONS. THE DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING A BONUS PROVISION THEREBY PERMITTING THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO UNITS. NEXT I'LL SHOW THE ELEVATIONS. HERE YOU CAN SEE THE SOUTH, NORTH, WEST, AND EAST ELEVATION. ALSO SHOW SOME PHOTOS. THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTHWEST INTERNAL TO THE SITE. THIS IS NORTH LOOKING ACROSS NORTH B STREET. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH FROM INTERNAL TO THE SITE, AND THAT'S THE MULTIFAMILY CONDO UNIT. THIS IS THAT NEWER DEVELOPMENT WEST OF THE SITE. THIS IS NORTHWEST. LOOKING WEST DOWN NORTH B STREET, AND THEN LOOKING EAST DOWN NORTH B STREET. DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. THERE ARE NO WAIVERS AS PART OF THIS REQUEST. IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE APPLICATION, THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READINGS. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY QUESTIONS? PLANNING COMMISSION, PLEASE. >>QUINN STEELE: QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THE SITE IS WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, NORTH HYDE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE WEST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE. ALSO LOCATED WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE C. SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL 20 ALSO ALONG THIS PORTION OF NORTH B STREET. ALSO WITHIN TWO TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS, NORTH HOWARD AND NORTH ARMENIA, WHICH ARE BOTH DESIGNATED TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDORS WITH MULTIFAMILY AND COMMERCIAL USES. THE REQUEST WOULD ALLOW FOR A DUPLEX ON UNDERUTILIZED SITE CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE R-20 DESIGNATION. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND FOUND IT PROVIDES COMPATIBLE INFILL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN AN URBAN VILLAGE NEAR TRANSIT AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. BOTH HOMES ARE ORIENTED TOWARDS NORTH B STREET, PROVIDE A PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION TO THE SIDEWALK AND LOAD FROM THE ALLEY. OVERALL, THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LONG-RANGE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ENVISIONED UNDER THE R-20 DESIGNATION AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY QUESTIONS? APPLICANT? >>STEVE MICHELINI: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. SEEMS LIKE I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE. THIS IS ADJACENT -- >>LYNN HURTAK: START WITH YOUR NAME. >>STEVE MICHELINI: STEVE MICHELINI, REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER. THIS PROJECT IS ONE OF SEVERAL THAT ARE TOWN HOUSE PROJECTS TO THE WEST OF THIS AND THE STAFF HAS POINTED OUT TO YOU THAT THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF A DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM BETWEEN TWO TRANSIT CORRIDORS -- HOWARD AND ARMENIA. I HAVE SOME PICTURES HERE I WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT BASICALLY OUTLINE WHAT THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES LOOK LIKE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THERE YOU GO. >>STEVE MICHELINI: SUBJECT PROPERTY IS OVER HERE. YOU SEE THE INTENSITY HERE, OFFICES, DOWN HERE, YOU HAVE AN EIGHT-UNIT APARTMENT BUILDING. WITHIN THE AREA, I'VE OUTLINED IN PURPLE, EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN PURPLE IS EITHER MULTIFAMILY, MEDICAL OFFICE, OFFICE, AND THE SUBJECT SITE IS HERE. AND THERE ARE ONLY THREE PROPERTIES ON NORTH B STREET THAT ARE NOT -- THEY STILL HAVE THE SAME LAND USE DESIGNATION OF R-20. BUT THIS ENTIRE BLOCK IS EITHER COMMERCIAL, IS MEDICAL, OFFICE, OR APARTMENT BUILDINGS. BOTH UNITS HAVE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS TO THE FRONT DOORS WITH PORCHES, ALLEY ACCESS. THE GARAGES ARE PROVIDED. THERE ARE NO WAIVERS BEING REQUESTED. THE GREENSPACE, IT MEETS THE GREENSPACE REQUIREMENT. THE CITY AND THE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAVE FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT. I GOT A LETTER THAT SAID -- [CELL PHONE] -- THIS WAS DETERIORATION OF A SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPED BLOCK PATTERN. IT SIMPLY ISN'T. THE BLOCK PATTERN IS ALREADY COMMERCIAL, AS I SAID, RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY OR IT'S MEDICAL OFFICE OR OTHER APARTMENTS. THERE IS A TEN UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT SAYS IT'S LESS THAN TEN UNITS. IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT, COUPLE OF LOTS DOWN TO THE WEST. I'M SORRY, TO THE EAST. THERE WAS A QUESTION RAISED REGARDING PARKING, TRAFFIC, AND SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS IS ACCESS OFF THE ALLEY. AND THERE IS PLENTY -- WHAT WAS THAT? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT WAS ME. [ LAUGHTER ] >>STEVE MICHELINI: AMPLE ROOM FOR STACKING OF VISITOR PARKING IN THE BACK BEHIND THE GARAGES. I'LL SHOW YOU A SITE PLAN, WHICH YOU'LL SEE HAS -- MOVE THIS UP. THAT'S 18 FEET BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE ALLEY AND THE BACK OF THE GARAGES. 22 FEET IN DEPTH OF THE GARAGES AND 19 SIX ON THE WIDTH. AGAIN, WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY WAIVERS, SO WE MEET ALL OF THE LANDSCAPE CODES. WE'VE BEEN FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT BY BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY STAFF. THE REQUEST TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL HOUSING IN THE NORTH HYDE PARK AREA, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DIRECTS THE GREATEST SHARE OF GROWTH IN THE URBAN VILLAGE. PART OF THE URBAN VILLAGE. IT'S ALSO ON THAT BICYCLE PATH THAT WE MAY HAVE TALKED ABOUT THAT A FEW MONTHS AGO. IT IS JUST SOUTH OF JCC. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOGNIZES THE ROLE OF ALLEYS AND DEFINING THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN SHOWS VEHICULAR ACCESS FROM THE ALLEY, WHICH WE ARE CONSISTENT WITH THAT. THE REST OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT SAYS IN CONCLUSION, THE PROPOSED PD IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL POLICIES, DIRECTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER R-20. THE DESIGNATION IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA BASED ON THE CONSIDERATIONS PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED PLAN DEVELOPMENT CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO PROVIDE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT RECOGNIZE UNIQUE CONDITIONS, THAT ALLOW DESIGN FLEXIBILITY AND PROMOTE PLANNED DIVERSIFICATION AND INTEGRATION OF USES AND STRUCTURES. WE CHECKED ALL THE BOXES REGARDING THAT. WITH ZONING DISTRICTS, IT CANNOT BE ACCOMMODATED. YOU MAY RECALL THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE A LITTLE SMALLER UNIT WHICH MAKES THOSE UNITS MORE AFFORDABLE AS OPPOSED TO THE LARGER UNITS WHICH ARE FAR MORE EXPENSIVE. PROMOTE THE EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF THE LAND AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE. ALREADY CONNECTING TO EXISTING WATER AND SEWER SYSTEMS. IN THE EVENT ANY OF THEM ARE FOUND TO BE INSUFFICIENT, WE WILL HAVE TO UPGRADE BOTH THE WATER AND SEWER CONNECTIONS. THE PROPOSED -- APPLICANT PROPOSED TO MEET THE NATURAL RESOURCES CODE AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING. AGAIN, WE'VE MET THAT REQUIREMENT AND PROVIDED THE NECESSARY GREENSPACE. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO PUT TOO MUCH INTO TOO SMALL AN AREA. WE DESIGNED THIS AROUND THE FACT THAT IT'S CODE COMPLIANT. ENCOURAGE THE FLEXIBLE USE OF LAND DEVELOPMENT, THE SITE IS PROPOSED TO PROVIDE GREENSPACE, 709 SQUARE FEET AS REQUIRED, 594 SQUARE FEET. WE'RE 200 SQUARE FEET ABOVE WHAT'S REQUIRED. THE SITE IS DESIGNED WITH A FRONT YARD SETBACK AND PRESERVES EXISTING TREE LOCATIONS LOCATED NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE SETBACK PROVIDES, ALLOWS FOR ADEQUATE USE OF TREE PROTECTION AND THE TREE RADIUSES FOR EXISTING TREES. PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT WHERE APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION CHARACTER COMPATIBILITY, AND SURROUNDING IMPACTED NEIGHBORHOODS. AS I POINTED OUT TO YOU WHEN I SHOWED YOU THE MAP, THAT THIS IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO TWO OTHER TOWN HOUSE PROJECTS ON THE ONE SIDE, COMMERCIAL OFFICE ON THE END, WHICH IS DOWN HERE. THE COMMERCIAL OFFICE HERE, TOWN HOUSE PROJECT HERE. ANOTHER TOWN HOUSE PROJECT WHICH WAS APPROVED HERE. DOWN HERE IS WHERE -- I'M SORRY. APARTMENT BUILDINGS DOWN ON THE OTHER END, AND ALL OF THIS OFFICE STUFF DOWN HERE. AND THIS IS THE PARKING FOR THAT. ANYWAY, THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS CLEARLY -- IT'S ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED TO BE TOWN HOUSE-STYLE PROJECTS. PROMOTE THE MORE DESIRABLE LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS, THIS IS BETWEEN TWO TRANSIT CORRIDORS WHICH PROVIDES BUS SERVICE ON BOTH SIDES, NORTH, SOUTH, AND NORTH AND SOUTH AS WELL AS IT'S ONLY A COUPLE OF BLOCKS NORTH OF KENNEDY BOULEVARD. PROMOTE THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND ELEMENTS WHICH COMPLEMENT THE SURROUNDING AREA AND ELEVATIONS SUBMITTED OR COMPLEMENTARY TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. WE HAVE MET THE CODE. WE HAVE NOT REQUESTED FOR ANY WAIVERS OR VARIANCES. WE HAVE EXCEEDED WHAT WAS REQUIRED BY THE CODE, AND WE'VE BEEN FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT BY BOTH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY STAFF. I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T THINK YOUR MICROPHONE IS ON, CHAIRWOMAN. >>LYNN HURTAK: I'M SO SORRY. YOU HAD A QUESTION? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I UNDERSTAND. I SAW YOUR LIPS MOVING BUT DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING. I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK UNTIL I WAS RECOGNIZED. MR. MICHELINI, YOU'LL BE SICK OF HEARING FROM ME FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT. QUESTION FOR YOU. I KNOW YOU SAID IT DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY VARIANCES. YOU'RE ASKING FOR A PD, SO LET'S GET THAT RIGHT. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE ADJOINING PROPERTIES ALREADY DEVELOPED AND WHAT THE FRONT SETBACK OR MAYBE THAT WOULD BE CITY STAFF MIGHT ANSWER THAT QUESTION. I'M WONDERING WHAT THE FRONT FACADES OF THE HOUSES ARE SET BACK FROM THE STREET AND WHAT THE SITE SETBACKS ARE. >>STEVE MICHELINI: FRONT IS TEN FEET, REAR IS 18 FEET. >>LYNN HURTAK: IF WE COULD SEE THAT CCTV. THANK YOU. >>STEVE MICHELINI: 5.6 FEET ON THE SIDE YARD SETBACK AND THE ADJACENT PARCEL HERE IS A TOWN HOUSE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IS THAT CURRENTLY DEVELOPED OR JUST APPROVED? >>STEVE MICHELINI: IT'S APPROVED FOR A DUPLEX. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE SETBACK WAS APPROVED FOR THAT? >>STEVE MICHELINI: NO, SIR, I DON'T RECALL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT IS THE SETBACK ON THE OTHER SIDE? WAS THAT THE EAST SIDE? >>STEVE MICHELINI: I THINK IT'S 5.6. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT IS A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE THAT STILL EXISTS ON THAT SIDE. >>STEVE MICHELINI: YES, WITH A DRIVEWAY. THE HOUSE IS NOT ADJACENT TO THE SIDE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: GOTCHA. I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE DENSITY. I WISH THE DRIVEWAY WAS JUST A FOOT LONGER SO YOU COULD EASILY ACCOMMODATE A CAR THERE TO KEEP IT OUT OF THE ALLEYWAY AND CLEAR. I THINK A 19-FOOT LONG DRIVEWAY WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE AND THEN YOU COULD JUST BASICALLY CALL THE GARAGE WHAT IT IS AS A ONE AND A HALF CAR GARAGE. THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. >>STEVE MICHELINI: ONE OF THE STRUGGLES THAT WE HAVE IS THE CODE STILL REQUIRES THAT. I KNOW COUNCIL TALKED ABOUT HOW TO ADJUST THAT AND HOW TO MAKE IT MORE REASONABLE. BUT AS YOU REQUIRE MORE PARKING, YOU'RE ALSO -- YOU'RE CAUSING ISSUES REGARDING DENSITY AND THE SIZE OF LOTS AND SIZE OF DEVELOPMENT. IT'S LIKE A WATER BALLOON. SQUEEZE ON ONE SIDE AND IT'S GOT TO COME OUT ANOTHER. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. MICHELINI, THE FRONT, WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THAT. THE OTHER ADJACENT PROPERTIES, WHAT IS THEIR FRONT SETBACKS? IN OTHER WORDS, IS THIS BEING DEVELOPED WITH THE SAME SETBACK AS ADJACENT PROPERTIES? >>STEVE MICHELINI: YES, SIR. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ON THE FRONT SIDE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE OTHER PROPERTIES ON NORTH B. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STAFF, CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT? >>STEPHANIE POPE: STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. SINCE THIS IS IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, THEY WOULD HAVE TO MEET THE BLOCK AVERAGE, AND THAT WOULD BE CALCULATED AND GIVEN TO URBAN DESIGN, AND THEY WOULD MAKE SURE THAT THEY MEET THAT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WOULDN'T THAT HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE WE GOT TO THIS POINT? >>STEPHANIE POPE: YES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT IMPLY THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE. >>STEPHANIE POPE: URBAN DESIGN WAS FOUND CONSISTENT, YES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: VERY GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK, PLEASE COME AND LINE UP ON MY LEFT, YOUR RIGHT. MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THREE NAMES, IF YOU COULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE HERE TO WAIVE YOUR TIME TO GIVE HER AN EXTRA MINUTE. ADRIAN LARAMIE. CARROLL ANN BENNETT. DEBBIE ZOMERMAAND. THANK YOU. THREE ADDITIONAL MINUTES FOR A TOTAL OF SIX. >> DOES EVERYBODY HAVE THEIR PACKET? >> YES. >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS SANDRA SANCHEZ. I'M HERE TO ASK YOU TO DENY THIS PETITION. I ASKED STEPHANIE TO TURN THE PAGES OF THE PRESENTATION SO THAT ALAN CLENDENIN CAN SEE IT. ON PAGE 1 -- AND IF YOU WILL FOLLOW WITH ME. ON PAGE 1 IS THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS BLOCK HAS ARMENIA ON ONE SIDE AND HOWARD ON THE OTHER. AND THOSE BUSINESSES FACE THOSE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES. THE BLOCK IS ENTIRELY -- OR WAS ENTIRELY SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, OUR MISSING MIDDLE. I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION ON PAGE 2 THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. AND THE MAIN THING THAT I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER -- I'M SORRY. I'M NOT WELL TONIGHT. THE MAIN THING I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER IS THAT THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY TAKES PRIORITY AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FIRST BEFORE MOVING FORWARD. ON PAGE 3, THE TOP PICTURE IS THE COMPLETED BUILDING. ONE OF THREE, AND MAYBE FOUR THAT ARE INTENDED TO BE BUILT ON THIS BLOCK. FURTHER EXPLANATION WHEN WE GET TO PAGE 4. WORKING WITH AN OVERLAY, IF A DEVELOPER WANTS TO CIRCUMVENT THE OVERLAY, CITY STAFF ASKED THEM TO FIND COMPARABLES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THE LOCATION OF THE SITE. THE SECOND PICTURE IS WHAT I THINK THEY USED AS ONE OF THE COMPARABLES. STAFF REMARKS IN THE ACCELA ONLY ADDRESS THE COMPARABLE AS BEING ADJACENT. IT GIVES NO ADDRESSES. THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER FLAT-ROOFED MULTIFAMILY UNITS AROUND. THESE LOOK LIKE THE OVERLAY WAS UTILIZED, BUT IT WAS NOT. THESE BUILDINGS WERE ACTUALLY BUILT IN 2021. THEY WERE BUILT AGAINST CITY CODE BECAUSE THEY IGNORED THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, WHICH WAS IN PLACE AT THE TIME. ALL THREE OF THOSE BUILDINGS THAT THEY USED FOR A COMPARABLE DID NOT USE THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. WHEN YOU LOOK THESE SITES UP IN ACCELA, THERE'S NO MENTION OF THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. BACK THEN, BACK IN 2021, WHEN I ASKED CITY STAFF ABOUT IF THEY SAID THEY WERE SORRY THEY MISSED IT, THEY SAID THEY WERE SORRY THAT THEY MISSED IT. IMAGINE, MISSING THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY FOR FOUR UNITS. NEVERTHELESS, THESE PROPERTIES SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED TO BE COMPARABLE. THEY WERE BUILT ILLEGALLY PER CITY CODE. MR. MICHELINI, TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT. MR. MICHELINI MENTIONED THE BUILDING THAT'S BEHIND. IT'S NOT ON -- STAFF NOT ON NORTH B. FACES NORTH A. IT IS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL TUTTLE BUILT. BUILT BEFORE THE WEST I DO NOT THINK THEY SHOULD BE USED AS COMPARABLES. ON PAGE 4, AND JUST TO MENTION WITH THE EXTREME CHANGES THAT THIS DEVELOPER WAS GOING TO MAKE, THEY DID NOT GET IN TOUCH WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE ASSUMPTION THAT A YELLOW SIGN MEANS IT IS AN INVITATION TO CALL THE DEVELOPER IS NOT A NOTIFICATION. THIS DEVELOPER -- BECAUSE IT IS SO DRASTIC A CHANGE SHOULD HAVE MADE THE EFFORT TO CONTACT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS THE BUILDING THAT THEY ARE BUILDING. FIRST ONE, 2320 WEST NORTH B IS COMPLETED. YOU SAW THAT ON THE PICTURE. 2318 WEST NORTH B ALREADY HAD THE REZONING APPROVED. 2316 IS WHAT WE ARE REZONING TODAY. NEXT TO 2320 IS 209 NORTH ALBANY. IT IS OWN BY A NUMBER OF LCCs BUT I NOTICED THIS DEVELOPER UTILIZED THE PROPERTY AS IF IT WAS THEIR OWN. THAT IS JUST AN ASSUMPTION THAT I AM MAKING, BUT A POSSIBILITY THAT A FOURTH ONE WILL BE THERE. PAGE 5, I DIRECT YOU TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LIVABLE CITY LAND USE GOALS TO BUILD LIVABLE CITY THAT ENHANCES ITS UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES OF TAMPA'S DIVERSITY WHERE HERITAGE IS APPRECIATED AND CELEBRATED OF DIVERSITY OF COMMUNION, NEIGHBORS, INTERCONNECTED THROUGH WALKING, BICYCLING AND TRANSIT THROUGH EXCELLENT URBAN DESIGN THROUGH PUBLIC SPACES. I ESPECIALLY POINT OUT LAND DEVELOPMENT POLICY 1.2.1A TO PROMOTE HARMONY IN THE VISUAL RELATIONSHIP AND TRANSITION BETWEEN NEW AND OLDER BUILDINGS. NEW BUILDINGS DO NOT NEED TO IMITATE OLDER BUILDINGS BUT SYMPATHETIC TO SCALE, PROPORTION AND MATERIALS. THIS CAN OFTEN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY REPEATING EXISTING BUIL FENESTRATION AND SURFACE. WITH THE BUILDINGS, THEY SHOULD BE SURROUNDED AND TEXTURED TO REFLECT THE PATTERN OF THE MOOD. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS NOT CONSIDERED. I TAKE TO YOU LAND USE 1.2.23. IT CONTINUES TO REQUIRE THAT THE SCALE OF NEW DEVELOPMENT IS MIX MIXED USE AND PROVIDES BUILDING HEIGHT, BULK THAT IS ESSENTIAL TO THE VISUAL. PAGE 6. PAGE 6 IS A BONUS. I JUST THREW THAT IN THERE IN CASE YOU WANT IT. BUT I AM ASKING YOU TO DENY IT. THIS THIRD BUILDING THAT IS SUBJECT RIGHT NOW DIRECTLY CONFLICTS WITH THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND NEITHER STAFF FOR DEVELOPER SERIOUSLY DIRECTED THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. OTHER TWO BUILDINGS COMPLETE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING APPROVED. NOTHING ELSE IS TO BE DONE. I ASK TO YOU DENY THIS BECAUSE IT DID NOT FIT IN WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND DID NOT FOLLOW THE CORRECT RULES BY ADDRESSING THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. NEXT. OKAY. WE ARE ALMOST SET. OKAY. >> GOOD EVENING. I'M WINSTON EVERSON, NORTH HYDE PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION. ALSO DISTRICT 5. VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT MISS SANCHEZ STATED. YOU KNOW, OUR BELIEF IS THIS IS WHAT THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. AND OUR BELIEF IS THAT THE CURRENT PROJECT IS NOT FALL IN LINE WITH THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE MAPS THAT WERE UTILIZED BY MR. MICHELINI. IT ONLY SHOWED ONE SIDE OF THE BLOCK. IF YOU LOOK ON OTHER SIDE OF THE BLOCK, IT ACTUALLY SHOWS ALL OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES THERE. SO THAT IS KIND OF ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS I WANTED TO BRING UP. AND SIMILAR ALSO. WE DIDN'T -- I PROMISE I DIDN'T PLAGIARIZE MISS SANCHEZ'S PRESENTATION, BUT SIMILARLY I USED LAND USE OBJECTIVE 1.2 ALSO WHERE YOU WANT TO KIND OF PRESERVE THE HERITAGE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I DID WANT TO ALSO REFERENCE THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT, THAT SECTION -- THIS IS THE GENTLEMAN THAT WROTE THE LETTER. AND THEN I KIND OF CIRCLED WHERE THAT MEMO THAT WAS PUT IN THE APPLI APPLICATION. IT SAYS IT IS CONSISTENT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT IS POSSIBLE. WHERE YOU KIND OF NOTICED WHERE EVERYTHING IS REFERENCING THAT ONE PD THAT WAS APPROVED HERE. SO I THINK THAT IS WHERE THEY ARE KIND OF UTILIZING THAT PD AS -- AS THE ENTIRE THING, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, BACK WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL, A BLOCK AVERAGE THAT USES MORE THAN JUST ONE. REZONE 23-43 IS WHERE THEY ARE UTILIZING THAT AS THE ENTIRE -- TO REP THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH I ALSO THINK IS NOT IN LINE WITH, YOU KNOW, WEST TAMPA OVERLAY FOR AVERAGING A BLOCK. THAT IS JUST ONE PARTICULAR STRUCTURE. AND THEN FINALLY, JUST WANTED TO ALSO SAY THAT -- SO BASED ON ON THE CURRENT NEIGHBORHOOD, THE TAMPA DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT ONLY REFERENCING THE ONE PD AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD FRAMEWORK PROVIDED BY THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY AND LAND USE POLICY 1.2. THE NORTH HYDE PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION URGES TO YOU VOTE NO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT. >>MARTIN SHELBY: PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR NAME FOR AN ADDITIONAL MINUTE. GAIL EVERSON. THANK YOU. FOUR MINUTES, PLEASE. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. >>LYNN HURTAK: WAIT IF YOU WANT -- OKAY. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. I AM NICOLE ANSIS. 1513 NORTH B STREET. PLT OF THE NORTH HYDE PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH AND I AM SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION TO THIS PROPOSED REZONING TO PD. I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT WE DID NOT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE DEVELOPER TO DISCUSS OUR CONCERNS. THIS CHANGE IS -- IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT TO THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT THREATENS THE LIVABLE, THE PREDICTABILITY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND CURRENT ZONING ALLOWS FOR HIGH DENSITY. SWITCHING TO A PD ZONING NOT ONLY REPRESENTS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BUT ONE PARCEL IS ZONED PD, OTHERS WILL FOLLOW. AND AS IS THE CASE HERE, MORE AND MORE OF THESE RESIDENCES AND LOTS WILL BE TRANSITIONED -- KIND OF TRANSFORMING AND DISMINTLING THE CHARACTER OF NORTH HYDE PARK. SO WE DEEM THIS TO BE INCOMPATIBLE. GOING TO THE HANDOUT, THIS IS THE PROPERTY NEXT TO THE PLOT IN QUESTION. IT IS A THREE-STORY TOWN HOUSE. IT IS AN ANOMALY ON THE STREET. IT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. THERE ARE NO TREES ON THE LOT. AND JUST TO THE RIGHT IS A ONE-STORY BUSINESS THAT THIS DOESN'T -- THIS NOT ONLY OVERWH OVERWHELMS THAT ONE BUSINESS BUT VIEWS ON THE STREET. MY VIEW IS DIFFERENT THAN ALL OF THE STREET. LOOKING AT ALL OF NORTH B FROM ARMENIA ON THE WEST TO HOWARD ON THE RIGHT. I WILL SHOW YOU A SERIES OF PICTURES THAT SHOW THE STREET IS FULL OF ONE-STORY BUNGALOW SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, THE MAJORITY. STARTING ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER, I'LL LOOP AROUND. THE BOX IN RED IS THE CURRENT RESIDENCE. AND THE ONE IN ORANGE NEXT TO IT IS THE ONE THEY KEEP REFERENCING. SO STARTING AT 2323 ON THE TOP LEFT, AS YOU WORK YOUR WAY ACROSS, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE STREET IS FILLED WITH ONE-STORY SINGLE-FAMILY BUNGALOWS. THE ONE EXCEPTION IS THIS 2313. A CRAFTSMAN TWO-STORY. BUT IT MATCHES NICELY WITH THE REPS OF THE HOMES ON THAT STREET. ON THE SECOND PAGE, THIS IS NOW THE SOUTH SIDE STARTING AT 2304, ONE-STORY BUNGALOW. 2308 IS A TWO-STORY LEGACY BUILDING AND THE REMAINING THREE BUILDINGS, 2310, 12 AND 14, SINGLE-STORY SINGLE-FAMILY BUNGALOWS. 2313. TREES, THEY ARE ONLY REQUIRED TO KEEP THREE. A SHAME. SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED. AND NEXT TO IT A PD, A MONSTROSITY. IT DOESN'T BELONG IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD -- >>LYNN HURTAK: CAN YOU SLIDE IT UP, PLEASE. >> THE LAST PICTURE SHOWS THAT -- HOW OVERWHELMING IT IS COMPARED TO THE ONE-STORY NEXT TO IT. NOW WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO SMART DEVELOPMENT. WE JUST WANT IT TO BE COMPATIBLE AND COMPLEMENTARY TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. TWO HOMES THAT ARE ON NORTH ALBANY. DUPLEXES. THESE ARE RM-16s BUT COMPLEMENTARY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY ARE TWO-STORIES, DO NOT OVERWHELMING SURROUNDING HOUSES NEXT TO THEM. WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENT. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DESERVES GROWTH THAT RESPECTS CONTEXT, SAFETY AND HERITAGE, NOT DEVELOPER DRIVEN TO BE OBJECTIVES. WE URGE TO YOU REJECT THIS ZONING AND STAND WITH THE RESIDENTS OF NORTH HYDE PARK FOR THE CHARACTER AND LIVABILITY OF OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NE NEXT. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. I AM DANA GREEN. I OWN A PARCEL ON BLOCK. I'M HERE TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT. I THINK IT IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE AREA AND THE PROBABLY LOOKS GREAT. I WANT TO GIVE MY SUPPORT. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT. >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS STEVEN GOLD. I AM ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS. AND I APPROVE OF 2316 NORTH B STREET PD APPROVAL. SO -- AND I AM A NEIGHBOR. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT. >> HE OWNS THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR. JUST HAD A REZONING. I AM PRETTY SURE IS HIS NAME. YOU CAN ASK HIM. >> A NEIGHBOR. >> NEIGHBOR, YEAH, ANYWAY. PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT THE SETBACKS ON 2320. I AM STEPHANIE POYNOR. I WILL BE HAPPY TO TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE. GOOD EVENING. I NEED TO DISCLOSE THAT I MANAGE THE PROPERTY THAT ABUTS ON THE EAST SIDE. THIS BELONGS TO THE FACALSKIS, THEY ARE IN GERMANY AND THEY ARE ONLINE TO SPEAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: CAN I SEE IT CCTV. >> SORRY. DON'T COUNT MY TIME. >>LYNN HURTAK: CCTV. OKAY. GO AHEAD, PLEASE. >> FLAT ROOFS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. WHY ARE WE HERE? WHY ARE WE HERE? IT IS NOT ABOUT THE DENSITY OF THIS PROBABLY. IT IS ABOUT THE DESIGN. NEXT ONE. AND -- IN THIS DESIGN, 35 FEET STOPS HERE. 35 FEET STOPS RIGHT HERE. WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE ABOVE IT? OH, THEY QUOTED YOU -- AND I GAVE YOU A COPY OF IT -- 27-1258. THAT SAYS IT CAN ONLY GO FIVE FEET OVER THE 35-FOOT LIMIT. WHAT WE DOING HERE? AGAIN, WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? GO AHEAD. SO WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION RM-18, 35 FEET. WE DON'T GO UP -- UNTIL WE GET TO RM-24, WE DO NOT GO TO 60 FEET. THIS IS NOT 35 FEET. THIS IS 35 FEET AND A DOORWAY ON TOP OF IT. LAST I CHECK THEY ARE EIGHT FEET TALL. JUST ME. NEXT. AND THAT -- THAT PART OF THE CODE SAYS THAT THEY NEED IT FOR ACCESS FOR EQUIPMENT. GUESS WHAT, THE AIR CONDITIONERS ON THE SIDE OF BUILDING. THE AIR CONDITIONERS ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND THESE PEOPLE WANT TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE ROOF TO HAVE AN ENTERTAINMENT SPACE ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE. GO AHEAD, CARROLL ANNE. WE ARE HERE FOR A PD BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GO OVER THE HEIGHT AND SQUEEZE TEN POUNDS OF CRAP IN A FIVE-POUND BAG. WE LEARNING AT THE SYNAGOGUE HEARING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO PUT IN A FAVOR BECAUSE YOU AUTOMATICALLY APPROVE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE. YOU AUTOMATICALLY APPROVE THAT. WHY DID WE APPROVE THIS? NOW I WANT TO YOU SEE -- SANDY AND THIS OTHER LADY BOTH SHOWED YOU THE HOUSE ON ARMENIA. THIS IS BEFORE -- THIS IS GOOGLE MAPS. THIS IS BEFORE. SEE THE NICE TREES BEHIND IT. THIS IS WHAT THOSE FOLKS HAVE NOW WITH 2320. THIS HOUSE -- I HAVE VIDEO ON MY PHONE. I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE TIME TO SHOW IT, BUT IT DOES NOT RECEIVE FULL SUN UNTIL NOON. I HAVE GOT VIDEO AT 11:00 IN THE MORNING. JUST STARTING TO SUNSHINE ON THAT HOUSE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I WAS ON THE PLANE FOR THE LAST HEARING. I MISSED IT. THESE FOLKS DESERVE BETTER. THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THEIR HOME IN THE SUNLIGHT. AND THIS IS FROM THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, WHICH I AM KIND OF DISGUSTED THAT I DIDN'T HEAR MUCH OF ANYBODY TALKING ABOUT UNTIL THE PUBLIC GOT HERE. AFFECTS OF THE OVERLAY DESIGNATION. YOU GUYS CAN'T CHANGE IT. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE REGULATIONS OF WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. THERE IS A REASON FOR IT. WHY ARE WE EVEN HERE BESIDES SOMEONE WANTS TO BUILD ANOTHER MONSTROSITY. ASK THAT GENTLEMAN IF HE OWNS THE PROPERTY ABUTTING, BECAUSE I THINK HE DOES. WHEN WE LOOK UP ALL THE RECORDS, IT WAS THERE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH. ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK? OKAY. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? OKAY. REBUTTAL, PLEASE. >> STEVE MICHELINI. YOU KNOW, DESIGN IS NOT PART OF THIS REQUEST. THAT IS HANDLED BY THE URBAN DESIGN SECTION OF THE CITY. AS THE STAFF ALREADY TOLD YOU WHAT WE PRESENTED TO THEM WAS FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT. WE ALSO HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND ALL OF THE OTHER REVIEWING AGENCIES FOR THE CITY. THE REASON THAT WE HAVE A REQUEST FOR A PD HERE IS BECAUSE HAVING TWO UNITS REQUIRES A BONUS AGREEMENT, WHICH WE HAVE TO REQUEST. THERE ARE NO WAIVERS. SO THERE ARE NO HEIGHT WAIVER. WE ARE NOT TRYING -- SAYS VERY CLEARLY ON THE SITE PLAN, 35 FEET. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT THEY ARE PROPOSING ON THE TOP, BUT WHATEVER IT IS, THE ROOF -- THE ROOF HEIGHT IS CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AS 35 FEET. I KNOW THIS QUESTION HAS COME UP BEFORE IS WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO STORE THE GARBAGE. GARBAGE CONTAINERS ARE SHOWN INSIDE. INSIDE THE GARAGE HERE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN TELL YOU. WE MEET THE CODE. WE HAVE NO WAIVERS. THE DESIGN IS NOT CONTROLLED BY ZONING. IT IS CONTROLLED BY THE URBAN DESIGN SECTION. AND WE HAVE TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH AND APPROVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLY. NO WAY TO WAIVE IT. IT IS A RIGHT. SO -- AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE USE HERE. NOT THE DESIGN. AND I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THOSE WHO SPOKE FOCUSED ON DESIGN THAT WAS A PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T LIKE THAT. THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE BEFORE COUNCIL. THE ISSUE IS, IF THIS IS A COMPATIBLE USE. DOES IT MEET THE CODE WHICH STAFF HAS TOLD YOU IT DOES. AND IS IT -- YOU KNOW, IS IT CONSISTENT WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU WANTED. I SHOWED YOU THE PICTURES. I DIDN'T MAKE THEM UP. I TOOK THEM RIGHT OFF OF THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S WEB PAGE. AND I ALSO IDENTIFIED THE USES THAT ARE THERE. EVERY ONE OF THESE USES IS EITHER COMMERCIAL, MEDICAL OR TOWN HOUSE APARTMENT BUILDINGS -- EXCUSE ME. I DON'T NEED THE INTERRUPTION. WILL YOU PAUSE MY TIME, PLEASE. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. >> SHE IS NOT ALLOWED TO SUBMIT ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. RESPECT ME THE WAY I RESPECT YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT IS UNNECE UNNECESSARY. >> I MEAN, COUNCIL, THIS IS COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR. >>LYNN HURTAK: THIS IS MY THOUGHT. THERE WAS PUBLIC COMMENT ONLINE. WELL, APOLOGIES -- NO, CAN YOU STOP MR. MICHELINI'S TIME, PLEASE. YEAH, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ADD MORE TIME. THAT IS MY FAULT. I AM SUPPOSED TO BE KEEPING TIME OF PUBLIC COMMENT ONLINE. APOLOGIES. >> WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SIT DOWN. >>LYNN HURTAK: THE PERSON WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON PUBLIC COMMENT IS NOT ONLINE. >> CAN WE RESET MY TIME, PLEASE. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. WE WILL JUST TAKE A SECOND TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PERSON WHO REGISTERED AND, AGAIN, THIS IS ON ME. MY FIRST TIME CHAIRING SO I APOLOGIZE. >> IT IS OKAY, COUNCIL. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WHEN SOMEBODY JUMPED UP FROM THE AUDIENCE AND WANT TO HAND YOU SOMETHING, COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE. I DON'T DO THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: AGREED. OKAY, SO WE HAVE NO RESPONSE. MR. MICHELINI, GO RIGHT AHEAD. >> COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, WHEN I -- WHEN I AM PRESENTING MATERIAL TO YOU, I DON'T MAKE THIS UP. I MEAN, THESE ARE CLEARLY OFFICIAL RECORDS. >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM SO SORRY. CAN YOU -- >>CLERK, WALLY CHARLES: MY GO TO WEBINAR -- SHE IS ON WILLING TO SPEAK IF YOU GIVE US A MOMENT SO WE CAN ALLOW HER TO SPEAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, OH, I SEE A FACE. I SEE A WAVE. WE JUST HAVE TO PUT IT ON OUR SCREEN. >>CLERK: OKAY, THEY ARE UNMUTED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF WE CAN ALLOW THIS PERSON TO SPEAK, MADAM CHAIR AND AFTER THAT MICHELINI CAN HAVE HIS REBUTTAL. >>LYNN HURTAK: OF COURSE, HE CAN HAVE HIS FULL TIME. >>LYNN HURTAK: MR. FALKALSKI, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND BE SWORN IN. [SWEARING IN] >> I DO. >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. GO AHEAD. >> I AM ALSO OBVIOUSLY THE BUILD OF THE TOWN HOME. I CAME LAST TIME AND DISCUSSED A FEW THINGS, BUT I BELIEVE IT GOT DISM DISMISSED WE MENTIONED WITH THE LAST COUPLE OF SPEAKERS, WHAT THEY ARE PRESENTING DOES NOT GET THE CHARACTERISTICS FOR THE REST OF THE HOUSE. THE HOMES ACROSS THE STREET AS THE OTHER SPEAKERS HAVE MENTIONED ARE NOT INCLUDED AND THE SHEET THAT HE HAS DISPLAYED WHERE HE SAID THERE ARE ONLY THREE PARCELS ON OUR SIDE OF THE STREET. I BELIEVE THERE ARE ACTUAL FOUR, IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN. AS FAR AS THE OTHER PICTURES YOU HAVE SEEN WITH THE LIGHTS. I AM THE HOUSE DIRECTLY NEXT TO WHERE THIS MASSIVE BUILDING IS GOING TO BE BUILT. SO I WILL ALSO BE AFFECTED BY THE 12:00 NOON -- OR RATHER THE AFTERNOON SUNLIGHT IN THAT CASE. ANY DAMAGE WITH MOISTURE -- WE ALL KNOW THAT FLORIDA IS A EXTREMELY HUMID STATE. AND MY HOUSE COULD BE AT RISK FOR HIGHER MOLD, THINGS LIKE THAT. GOING INTO THE STREET ITSELF, AS IT IS MENTIONED IT IS IN BETWEEN TWO FAIRWAYS. TWO ONE-WAY STREETS WITH ARMENIA AND HOWARD. BECAUSE OF THAT, THIS STREET IS EXTREMELY BUSY. AND THERCARS THAT GO THROUGH. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE CRASHES ON THAT STREET. EVEN IF THEY ARE IN THE BACK, REALISTICALLY, THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF TRAFFIC STILL WITH THOSE PEOPLE IN THE FRONT. WE CAN PARK IN THE BACK ALL THE TIME, BUT WE CAN BE REALISTIC. OUTSIDE OF THAT, I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE -- ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS IT COULD HAVE ON MY HOUSE. I DON'T WANT TO SAY HEALTH-WISE, BUT JUST THE TOTAL CONSTRUCTION OF IT. ANY TIME OF WATER THAT MAY BE RUN-OFF FROM THERE -- FROM THEIR PROPERTY IF IT IS ELEVATED AT ALL DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS. OUTSIDE OF THAT, I AM OPPOSED TO THIS -- TO THIS REZONING. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY. MR. MICHELINI. I AM SORRY, GO AHEAD. >>BILL CARLSON: IF YOU DON'T MIND, I WANT TO ASK BEFORE YOU DO REBUTTAL. >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU WANT TO ASK OF -- >>BILL CARLSON: I WANT TO ASK LEGAL. WHO IS HERE FROM LEGAL? OKAY. SORRY, MY EYES ARE NOT THAT GREAT TONIGHT. THE PUBLIC -- SO MR. MICHELINI TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS WAS FOUND CONSISTENT AND MET ALL THE RULES, BUT THE PUBLIC TALKED OF IT NOT MEETING THE RULES, THE GUIDELINES OF THE OVERLAY DISTRICT. SO HOW DO WE COME TO TERMS WITH THOSE TWO DIFFERENCES? >>CATE WELLS: CATE WELLS, LEGAL DEPARTMENT. SO THE PD REQUEST THAT IS BEFORE COUNCIL NOTES THAT THERE ARE NO REQUESTED WAIVERS. SO WHILE THE ELEVATIONS DO NOT APPEAR TO COMPLY WITH THE OVERLAY DISTRICT GUIDELINES, IF THE PROJECT IS APPROVED AT PERMITTING, THE DESIGN WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE GUIDELINES. BECAUSE NONE OF THOSE OVERLAY DISTRICT GUIDELINES OR STANDARDS HAVE BEEN WAIVED. >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, MR. MICHELINI, REBUTTAL. >> I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS. THERE ARE NO WAIVERS, AGAIN. WE MEET NATURAL RESOURCES. WHETHER THEY HAVE TRAFFIC VOLUME OR NOT, WE -- TRANSPORTATION DIDN'T OBJECT. AND WE ARE UTILIZING THE ALLEY, WHICH IS PART OF THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY REQUIREMENTS. SO YOUR ACCESS FOR YOUR GARAGES IN THIS CASE IS BEING PROVIDED IN THE REAR. THE HEIGHT OF THE STRUCTURES ARE STATED AT 35 FEET. THAT IS STATUTORY. WE CAN'T ALL OF A SUDDEN RAISE THE ROOF. WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO THAT. I PULLED THIS OFF OF THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S WEB PAGE AND OUTLINED EVERYTHING EXCEPT THESE THREE ARE ALL EITHER MULTIFAMILY, OFFICE, OR MEDICAL OFFICE, INCLUDING VERY HIGH INTENSITY DOWN HERE. NOT A HIGH INTENSIVE PROJECT. TWO UNITS ON THE PROPOSED LOT BEING REQUESTED. I SHOWED YOU THE SITE PLAN WITH THE PORCHES. WE ARE 17.5 FEET AWAY FROM THE BACK OF THE SIDEWALK FOR THE BUILDING AND TEN FEET TO THE FRONT OF THE PORCHING WITH THE WALKWAYS GOING UP. AGAIN, STORAGE FOR GARBAGE IS INSIDE THE GARAGES. SO WE ARE NOT -- WE ARE NOT CAUSING ANY KIND OF CLUTTER ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. PEOPLE FREQUENTLY CITE AS BEING A PROBLEM. I CAN GO THROUGH ALL OF THESE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS THAT WE MEET, BUT I WILL JUST REFERENCE. AND I ASK THAT THIS REPORT BE RECEIVED AND FILED AND MADE PART OF THE RECORD, BUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES ARE MET. PROVIDE MULTIMODAL OPTIONS HAVE BEEN MET. HURRICANE EVACUATION SHELTERS ISSUE IS MET. LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES MET. OVERALL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT MET. MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROVISIONS IN THE CODE MET. LOW, MEDIUM DENSITY FAMILY AREAS MET. ADEQUATE SITES TO ACCOMMODATE HOUSING NEEDS, MET. COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS CERTIFIED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF IS MET. POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, CITY DESIGN, GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES MET. CITY PLANNING GOALS, POLICIES MET. PUBLIC REALM, MET. URBAN VILLAGES, GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES MET. YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THE EMOTIONAL ASPECT OF IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE DON'T LIKE CHANGES SOMETIME. WE HAVE TO MEET THE DESIGN GUIDELINES WHEN WE GO THROUGH PERMITTING. THERE IS NO WAIVING OF THAT. AND IF SOME OTHER BUILDING THAT WAS USED AS A COMPASSION THAT THEY DIDN'T SOMEHOW MEET THE CODE IS NOT WHAT IS BEFORE YOU AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROJECT. WE INTEND TO MEET THE OVERLAY DISTRICT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE CODE WE HAVE BEEN FOUND CONSISTENT AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL. WE MET ALL THE GUIDELINES REQUIRED BY THE CITY. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. A MOTION TO CLOSE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO MOVED. >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND. >>LYNN HURTAK: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? DO WE WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS OR DOES SOMEONE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WILL SPEAK ABOUT IT IF NOBODY ELSE WANTS TO. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS A TOUGH ONE. I AM NOT OPPOSED TO THE DENSITY AND LOCATION. BUT I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS THAT MAKE IT -- PARKING IN THIS AREA IS PARTICULARLY HARSH AND BAD AND HAVING A SUBSTANDARD GARAGE WITH A RELATIVELY SHORT DRIVEWAY ON A -- ON AN ALLEY. I APPLAUD YOU OF USING THE ALLEY BUT NOT A LOT OF EXTRA ROOM AND I AM AFRAID IT WILL COMPOUND PROBLEMS WITH PARKING I SAY THE NEIGHBORS' CONCERNS ABOUT THE -- MR. MICHELINI, AGAIN, YOU SPOKE ABOUT NO WAIVERS AND NO THIS. BUT THIS IS A PD. YOU ARE ASKING SOMETHING BECAUSE NO ENTITLEMENT TO IT AND WITH NO BONUS PROVISIONS FOR THAT DENSITY. WITH CITY COUNCIL, WE HAVE TO WEIGH EVERYTHING OUT AND MAKE A DETERMINATION ABOUT ARE WE GIVING UP -- ARE WE GETTING SOMETHING THAT IS WORTHY OF GIVING SOMETHING UP. I JUST DON'T THINK THIS PROVES THAT THIS IS A BUILDING THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ADJOINING -- WITH THE BLOCK. WHILE OBVIOUSLY IT IS POINTED OUT YOU HAVE A MONSTROSITY SITTING HERE. WE DON'T WANT TO REPEAT THAT MISTAKE. AND DEFINITELY NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE CURRENT BUILD STRUCTURES THAT ALIGN BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDE OF B. I THINK TRYING TO BRING IN HOWARD AND ARMENIA, AND THE DENSITY IN HOWARD AND ARMENIA ARE DISINGENUOUS BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT STREETS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I AM NOT OPPOSED TO THE DENSITY AND A LITTLE BIT MORE SITE CONTROL AND LAND, WHICH PUBLIC SPEAKER SHOWED EXAMPLES OF MULTIFAMILY THAT WOULD BE HIGHLY DESIRABLE, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT THIS COUNCIL IS WILLING TO SUPPORT AND BUILD IN THESE AREAS. IT LOOKS GREAT. DUPLEXES. BUT THEY WERE APPROPRIATELY DESIGNED AND BE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR THIS LOT. RELUCTANTLY, I AM SORRY, I AM NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THIS ONE TONIGHT. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG. >>NAYA YOUNG: I WOULD JUST HAVE TO AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER CLEN CLENDENIN. I DEFINITELY THINK WE NEED HOUSING. HOUSING IS A VERY BIG ISSUE AND WE WANT TO HAVE MORE HOUSING, BUT, YOU KNOW -- HOUSING THAT FITS INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE CHARACTERISTIC OF NEIGHBORHOOD IS VERY IMPORTANT. I THINK HOUSING IS IMPORTANT, BUT I WILL HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENT OF COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM LISTENING TO ALL SIDES. WHAT CONCERNS ME YOU EITHER HAVE A OVERLAY OR YOU DON'T HAVE AN OVERLAY. IN THIS CASE YOU HAVE AN OVERVIEW. I HAVE TROUBLE SWALLOWING. I DON'T KNOW WHO IS RIGHT OR WHO IS WRONG. IF THE CITY IS RIGHT OR THE PETITIONER IS WRONG OR THE PETITIONER IS RIGHT AND THE CITY IS WRONG. THE NEIGHBORHOOD DISCUSSED THEIR OPINION OF THE DIFFERENCES IN THE SIZING OF THE DWELLING. IT DOESN'T MEET THE OVERLAY. IT WAS CONSISTENT ABOUT BOTH THE CITY AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION. THIS IS ONE THAT IN MY -- IN MY MANY YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE, I NEVER HAD ONE LIKE THIS. SUPPOSED TO HAVE SOMETHING IT DOESN'T HAVE BUT IT IS STILL CONSISTENT. THAT'S ALL. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES, MR. VIERA? >>LUIS VIERA: IN GENERAL, DO WE HAVE -- CAN WE HAVE, LIKE, A FINDING ON BLAH WHETHER OR NOT IT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE OVERLAY? >>LYNN HURTAK: DO YOU WANT TO REOPEN THE HEARING. >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY, VERY BRIEFLY. >>LYNN HURTAK: MOTION TO REOPEN. WE HAVE A MOTION TO REOPEN BY COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED. STAFF? >>LUIS VIERA: THAT APPEARS TO BE A RELEVANT ISSUE FOR SOME OF US. THAT WOULD BE A DETERMINING ISSUE. >>STEPHANIE POPE: STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. URBAN DESIGN DOES REVIEW THESE. THEY DO HAVE TO FOLLOW THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. THEY ALSO -- ONCE IT GOES INTO PERMITTING, THEY DO REVIEW THAT AS WELL. AND IT HAS TO MEET THAT AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING TO PROCEED WITH THIS, THERE IS PRESUMPTION THAT IT WILL MEET THE OVERLAY. IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING? AND IF YOU NEED TO CAUCUS WITH PEOPLE FOR A PROPER ANSWER, YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TIME. I KNOW THAT IF YOU NEED TO -- MADAM CHAIR -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S FINE. >>LUIS VIERA: BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE PUT ON THE SPOT. >>LYNN HURTAK: ALAN HAS A FOLLOW-UP. ARE WE CHANGING OUR MIND? >>LUIS VIERA: I DON'T KNOW, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN WANTED TO SPEAK. THAT MAY GIVE US TIME -- >>LYNN HURTAK: WHILE WE HAVE A MOMENT. WE ARE HITTING 7:00 AND WE STILL HAVE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU ONLY KEEP ME FOR ONE MORE HOUR, FYI. >>LYNN HURTAK: IF ANYBODY -- IF YOU WANT TO ORDER FOOD, NOW IS THE TIME. WE HAVE SEVEN MORE ITEMS. >>LUIS VIERA: I AM FINE. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MAYBE I CAN ASK THE QUESTION BECAUSE WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING INTO NOW. >>LYNN HURTAK: THEY ARE DOING A POWWOW AND MAY WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THEY FINISH THEIR POWWOW. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I CAN'T SEE THAT OFF CAMERA. THANK YOU. I LOOK FABULOUS WITH THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS, BY THE WAY. >>LUIS VIERA: MADAM CHAIR, MAY I SAY SOMETHING. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA, WERE YOU SAYING YOU WANT TO EATING IS? >>LYNN HURTAK: LET'S ASK MR. THOMAS TO COME IF PETITION H-- F HE HAS A MOMENT. >>LYNN HURTAK: AFTER THIS ONE, WE WILL TAKE A QUICK BREAK. MR. THOMAS, NEVER MIND. WE WILL WAIT. WE ARE GOING TO DO A BREAK RIGHT AFTER THIS AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT. THANK YOU, SORRY ABOUT THAT. DO YOU NEED HIM TO GET SOMETHING FOR YOU? GO FOR IT. >>LUIS VIERA: MADAM CHAIR, DO YOU THINK IT WILL BE WISE TO TAKE A THREE-MINUTE RECESS. WE LITERALLY DON'T -- >>LYNN HURTAK: WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A FIVE-MINUTE RECESS. WE WILL RECONVENE -- WE WILL DO IT -- WE WILL MAKE IT A NICE SIX MINUTES AT 7:15. SO WE ARE ADJOURNED AND BACK AT 7:15. RECESS. SORRY, RECESS. APOLOGIES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: HERE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HERE. >>NAYA YOUNG: HERE. >>LUIS VIERA: HERE. >>BILL CARLSON: HERE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HERE. >>LYNN HURTAK: HERE. >>CLERK: WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU SO MUCH. I BELIEVE THAT MISS POPE WAS HERE IN THE MEDAL OF ANSWERING COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA'S QUESTION. WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESTATE YOUR QUESTION. >>LUIS VIERA: YES, MA'AM, WHETHER OR NOT THE APPLICANT NEEDS TO COMPLY WITH THE OVERLAY DISTRICT JUST BY OPERATION OF MOVING FORWARD. IN OTHER WORDS, IS -- THAT IS MY QUESTION. NUMBER ONE, DOES THIS -- DOES THIS VIOLATE IN ANY WAY THE -- THE OVERLAY, AND DO THEY HAVE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE. IS THAT A PRESUMPTION? BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO BE RELEVANT FOR SOME FOLKS, INCLUDING MYSELF. >>STEPHANIE POPE: STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. URBAN DESIGN REVIEWED THIS AND FOUND IT CONSISTENT. JUST WANT TO SHOW THIS ON THE STAFF REPORT JUST SO WE SEE THAT THEY DID REVIEW IT AND FOUND IT CONS CONSISTENT. >>LYNN HURTAK: SORRY, WE CAN'T SEE IT. WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL CCTV PUTS IT UP. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: CAN YOU LEAVE IT UP. WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. IF CCTV CAN TAKE THE CLOSED CAPTIONING OFF OF OUR SCREEN SO AS WE CAN SEE BETTER, WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT. THANKS. >>STEPHANIE POPE: AND WHEN URBAN DESIGN DOES REVIEW, THEY LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. AND THEY LOOK FOR A PRECEDENT IN THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. SO WHEN THEY REVIEWED THAT AND FOUND IT CONSISTENT. THEY LOOKED AT THE SURROUNDING AREA TO DETERMINE THEIR CONSISTENCY. >>LUIS VIERA: MAY I. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU. ARE YOU TELLING ME -- CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BY VIRTUE OF URBAN DESIGN FINDING CONSISTENCY DOES THAT INFER FOR CONCLUDE BY PRESUMPTION CONSISTENCY WITH THE OVERLAY? >>STEPHANIE POPE: THAT WOULD -- THEY REVIEW FOR THE OVERLAY. SO, YES, SIR. YES, THAT'S CORRECT. >>LUIS VIERA: QUESTION ANSWERED. I HAVE GONE NOTHING FURTHER. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: MISS POPE -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE A QUESTION. >>LYNN HURTAK: SORRY, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YEAH, THIS GOES HAND IN HAND WITH WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA SAID. THIS IS PART OF MY GRAVE CONCERN. I THINK WHAT THE -- HOW THAT QUESTION WAS ANSWERED KIND OF LED US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. IF THIS COUNCIL WAS TO APPROVE THIS RIGHT NOW, THIS -- THIS WOULD BE ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL BE USED AS PRECEDENT SETTING TO UNDERMINE THE OVERLAY FOR WEST TAMPA WE HAVE TO FIRST DEGREE OUT A WAY TO GET TO THE URBAN DESIGN STAFF TO SAY, YOU NKNOW - BASICALLY TO SAY BS ON THIS THING. THEY CAN NOT USE THESE DESIGNS THAT CAN BE INAPPROPRIATELY CONSTRUCTED AS AN EXAMPLE TO CONTINUE A MISTAKE. SO IF A MISTAKE WAS MADE, WE CAN'T KEEP DOUBLING DOWN ON THAT MISTAKE. THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TODAY IF WE APPROVE THIS. THAT WAS MY POINT OF THE QUESTION FOR STAFF WAS -- AND SHE ANSWERED EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE. THAT THIS URBAN DESIGN EVALUATED THIS AND FOUND IT CONSISTENT AS YOU FOUND IN THE STAFF REPORT WHICH MEANS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN -- IF WE APPROVE THIS TODAY, THAT IS THE WAY IT IS GOING TO FLY AND ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CONSTRUCTION WILL BE USED FOR THE NEXT PROJECT TO BE USED FOR NEXT PROJECT. WE HAVE TO PUT A STOP ON IT NOW AND SOMEHOW GET THE URBAN DESIGN PEOPLE FROM KEEP KEEP DOING THIS AGAIN. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I AM GOOD, THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: CAN YOU PUT A PHOTO OF THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR. THE TOWN HOUSE NEXT DOOR. WHEN WAS THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY PUT IN? >>STEPHANIE POPE: THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN ... ACCORDING TO THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, IF A LAW OF RECORD WAS ESTABLISHED -- >>LYNN HURTAK: MY QUESTION WAS, WHEN DID THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY GO INTO -- WHEN WAS IT PUT IN? WHAT YEAR -- WHEN WAS THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DEVELOPED? >>LYNN HURTAK: SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE IN THE BACK THAT MAY KNOW. >> 2005! >>LYNN HURTAK: CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE STAND UP AND COME AND PUT INTO INTO THE RECORD, PLEASE. I WILL TAKE -- I WILL TAKE ANY TAKERS AT THIS POINT. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT IS SWORN TESTIMONY. IF THEY COME UP AND ANNOUNCE THEIR NAME. >>LYNN HURTAK: SOMEBODY THAT IS FROM DOMAIN HOMES THAT WORKS CONSISTENTLY WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. >> COUNCIL, CAN I JUST ADD SOMETHING -- >>LYNN HURTAK: NO, I NEED MY QUESTION ANSWERED FIRST, PLEASE. >> KEVIN ROBLES ROBLES, JANUARY 1, 2005. >>LYNN HURTAK: 2005? THAT IS WHEN THE OVERLAY WAS CREATED. THANK YOU. MISS POPE -- >> KEVIN ROBLES. >>LYNN HURTAK: KEVIN ROBLES. GOING BACK TO THE PHOTO OF THE BUILDING, DOES THIS MEET THE OVERLAY? >>STEPHANIE POPE: I DO NOT REVIEW FOR URBAN DESIGN. >>LYNN HURTAK: IS ANYBODY FROM URBAN DESIGN HERE TONIGHT? >>STEPHANIE POPE: NO, MA'AM. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY, THANK YOU. >>BILL CARLSON: MAY I. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON, I KEEP FORGETTING TO TURN MY MIC ON. >>BILL CARLSON: YOU ALL AND MISS WELLS ANSWERED MY QUESTION EARLIER. ONCE THIS PROCESS IS DONE, THE FINAL DESIGN WILL GO TO THE STAFF FOR DESIGN APPROVAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SINCE THE STAFF HAS ALREADY SAID THIS IS CONSISTENT AND IF WE APPROVE THIS TONIGHT, WOULDN'T THAT GO TO THEM AND PRESUME IT WILL BE APPROVED BY DESIGN OR IS THERE A CHANCE IT WOULD BE REJECTED. WOULDN'T IT BE THE SAME STAFF THAT FOUND IT CONSISTENT WHO WOULD BE REVIEWING THE -- WHETHER IT -- WHETHER IT MET THE CRITERIA FOR THE OVERLAY DISTRICT? >>STEPHANIE POPE: STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING, THERE ARE SEVERAL REVIEWERS IN URBAN DESIGN WHO REVIEW WHEN IT GOES INTO PERMITTING FOR THE OVERLAYS. SO IT MAY NOT BE THE SAME REVIEWER. >>BILL CARLSON: MY OTHER QUESTION IS, WHEN YOU SHOWED THAT SHEET THAT WAS -- THAT WAS BLOWN UP FOR US. I READ IT QUICKLY JUST NOW. BUT TO ME -- THE WAY I READ IT, IT WAS SILENT WITH THE OVERLAY DISTRICT. I DIDN'T SEE ANY REFERENCE TO THE OVERLAY DISTRICT. I WONDER IF SOMEHOW THE OVERLAY DISTRICT WAS NOT CONSULTED IN THE RECOMMENDATION OF CONSISTENCY. STEFON WHICH SHEET IS THAT? >>BILL CARLSON: THE ONE PUT ON THE ELMO. >> THAT IS JUST A SUMMARY SHEET OF THEIR FINDING. >>BILL CARLSON: SHOULDN'T A NOTE HAVE SAID THAT IT MEETS THE CRITERIA OF THE OVERLAY DISTRICT? >>STEPHANIE POPE: STEPHANIE POPE, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. WE GENERALLY PUT THE NOTE IN THE STAFF REPORT AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING. THEY MUST MEET THE OVERLAY REQUIREMENTS. >> COUNCIL, CAN I ADD A COMMENT HERE FOR JUST A SECOND. >>LYNN HURTAK: JUST ONE MOMENT. COUNCIL, I THINK WE ARE GOING OFF -- YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T APPROVE THIS BASED ON THE OVERLAY. WE CAN -- BUT WE CAN TALK ABOUT DENSITY AND SIZE AND SCALE, BUT THE OVERLAY IS OUT OF OUR HANDS. IT -- MR. DEMANCHE, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING? >>BILL CARLSON: IT CONCERNS ME NO ONE IS HERE TO TESTIFY AS TO WHETHER THAT WAS REVIEWED. >>LYNN HURTAK: AGREED. >>BILL CARLSON: THE AZAMUTH THAT SAID THIS CRITERIA WAS APPROVED. THAT IS ALL I AM GOING TO SAY AT THIS POINT. WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT IN NEW BUSINESS. >>LYNN HURTAK: THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS. MR. MICHELINI HAS REBUTTAL. >> I WAS GOING TO OFFER -- NO ONE IS TRYING TO WAIVE THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DESIGN CRITERIA. YOU CAN'T WAIVE IT ANYWAY. CERTAINLY IT WOULD BE, I THINK, APPROPRIATE TO PUT A CONDITION IN THERE AS PART OF AN APPROVAL THAT SAYS WE HAVE TO MEET THAT DESIGN CRITERIA AND BRING IT BACK TO YOU, WHATEVER THAT DESIGN IS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. THAT WE CAN DO. WE CAN'T CHANGE -- IF BE START CHANGING SETBACKS AND HEIGHTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO DRC. WE HAVE TO HAVE A CONTINUED HEARING IN GOING FORWARD. BUT SEEMS TO ME IF DESIGN IS THE ISSUE, WHICH IS NOT PART OF THE REAL -- THAT IS NOT PART OF THE REZONING CRITERIA ANYWAY, BUT THE SPACING ON THE STREET, THE SETBACKS, THAT IS PART OF THE CRITERIA. YOU KNOW, I THINK -- MAYBE GOING FORWARD IF COUNCIL IS WISHING FOR A STATEMENT TO BE PLACED ON THE SITE PLAN, I DON'T THINK ANYONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT. MY CLIENTS HAVE SAID, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAD KNOWN, WE WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN YOU SOMETHING THAT LOOKED A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WE LOOKED AT SOMETHING THAT MET THE CODE. AND THE DESIGN IS NOT PART OF THAT PLAN REVIEW. I MEAN, YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE OVERLAY IS NOT PART OF IT. AND YET WE KEEP INSERTING IT IN THERE. I WILL BE HAPPY TO PUT A NOTE THAT WE MUST COMPLY WITH THE DESIGN GUIDELINES. EVERYTHING ELSE IS COMPATIBLE. THERE IS NOTHING IN THERE THAT SAYS YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING BIGGER THAN A 18 -- A DEPTH OF 18 FEET ON A DRIVEWAY. THAT IS ANOTHER CRITERIA THAT IS NOT IN THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO ASK JONATHAN SCOTT IF IT COMPLIES, IT COMPLIES. ADDING THINGS IN THE REVIEW AND CONSIDERING SUPPORT OR NOT SUPPORT THAT IS NOT IN THE CODE. SO THAT LEAVES US AS A PROPONENT OF A PROJECT, WHERE DO WE GO? ARE WE TRYING TO ANTICIPATE WHATEVER QUESTIONS YOU ALL MIGHT HAVE OR DO WE FOLLOW THE CODE, BECAUSE YOU ARE ADDING THINGS IN THAT AREN'T THERE. THE STAFF HAS TOLD YOU WE MET THE CODE. 35 FEET IS ALLOWABLE ON ANY ONE OF THESE LOTS BY RIGHT. NOT EXCESSIVE HEIGHT. IT IS 35 FEET. WHETHER IT CREATES A SHADOW FOR SOMEBODY NEXT DOOR OR NOT, THAT IS THE CODE. ANY ONE OF THESE BUNGALOWS THAT EXIST IN THE AREA, ANY ONE OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES ARE ALLOWED BY RIGHT TO GO TO 35 FEET. THE ISSUE HERE, AND THE REASON THEY ARE IN A PD BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE A RESOLUTION FOR THE BONUS DENSITY TO ALLOW TWO UNITS. NOT TO WAIVE PARKING. NOT TO WAIVE SETBACKS. NOT TO WAIVE ANYTHING ELSE. WE CERTAINLY CAN'T WAIVE DESIGN. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. YOU KNOW, THE STAFF HAS -- YOU KNOW, THEY HAD A LETTER WHERE THEY ARE TALKING IT OF THE SPACING ALONG THE STREET. THEY TALK ABOUT THE SETBACKS. THEY TALK ABOUT A VARIETY OF OTHER THINGS URBAN DESIGN WAS LOOKING AT. AT THIS POINT, THEY ARE NOT LOOKING AT DESIGN. BUT WE HAVE TO COMPLETE. AND, YOU KNOW, COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, IF I CAN GET YOUR SUPPORT, WE WILL CERTAINLY PUT A NOTE ON THERE THAT WE MUST COMPLY WITH THE DESIGN GUIDELINES AND SNEAK LOOK LIKE WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE, YOU KNOW, VIEWED IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO. WE CERTAINLY HAVE TRIED OUR BEST TO MEET THE CRITERIA. STAFF SAYS WE HAVE. URBAN DESIGN SAID WE HAVE MET THE CRITERIA FOR SPACING, HEIGHT AND SETBACKS. AND WE ADDED THE PORCHES THAT YOU ALL SAID YOU WANT. WE ADDED THE ACCESS TO THE REAR WHICH YOU SAID YOU WANT. WE ADDED THE GARAGES WITH THE -- WITH THE GARBAGE ENCLOSED INSIDE. YOU ALL HAVE SAID ALL OF THOSE THINGS. NOT ONE THING WE IGNORED. NOT ONE. SO WHEN WE COME BEFORE YOU, THERE IS A REASONABLE EXPECTATION THAT IF WE HAVE LISTENED TO YOU AND DONE WHAT YOU ASKED, WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT. CERTAINLY I AM COMING BEFORE YOU AND ASKING RESPECTFULLY FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN APPROVING THIS PROJECT. WE CAN MAKE WHATEVER CHANGES AND NOTES THAT YOU WANT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AYE. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DISCUSSION. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, CHAIR CLENDENIN OR COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I SAID I WAS ON THE EDGE BUT I HAVE PUSHED OFF THE END IN A NO WAY IN A HARD WAY. ONE -- I WILL ADDRESS WHAT MICHELINI JUOF WHAT HE CAN DO. EUCLIDIAN ZONING THAT YOU HAVE A RIGHT OF BUILDING THERE. WHEN COUNCIL TO THIS COUNCIL AND LOOKING FOR A PD BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO BUILD IT. YOU HAVE LAND RIGHTS AND THINGS YOU CAN BUILD ON THESE LOTS BY RIGHT. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE. YOU ARE ASKING FOR SOMETHING -- YOU ARE ASKING FOR EXCEPTIONS. WHEN ASK YOU FOR THE EXCEPTIONS ARE, WE HAVE TO BALANCE THE ENTIRE PROJECT. I AM FORTUNATE TO BELIEVE THAT URBAN DESIGN SET US UP FOR FAILURE. THEY DID EVALUATE THAT. IF COUNCIL APPROVED THE DESIGN THAT WE WILL SEE IS KIMBERLY OF DESIGN THAT WAS SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT FOR THIS PROJECT. THEY SUBMITTED THE DESIGN. THE DRAWINGS THAT WE SEE ARE DESIGNS THAT OBVIOUSLY DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE OVERLAY DISTRICT. WHY? OKAY. YOU ASK OF BRINGING PROJECTS FORWARD IN THE FUTURE TO THIS COUNCIL. I SUGGEST ALL APPLICANTS BRING PROBLEMS THAT ARE VOTE READY THAT ACTUALLY ACCURATELY REFLECT WHAT THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO BUILD. WHY YOU WOULD BRING SOMETHING FORWARD THAT IS NOT PICTORIALLY ACCURATELY REFLECT WHAT YOU WANT TO BUILD ON THE FIRST READ IS BEYOND ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. IF YOU BROUGHT SOMETHING THAT REALLY REFLECTED WHAT YOU KNOW THAT COUNCIL WANTS. AGAIN, YOU ARE RIGHT. I AM NOT USING THE GARAGE SIZE BECAUSE IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. I AM JUST SAYING THAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR SOMETHING. IF YOU HAD GIVEN A LITTLE ON IT, MAYBE I CAN GIVE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. BUT HONESTLY, AGAIN, THIS IS -- THIS IS NOT THE PROM WE WANT TO SET ANOTHER PRECEDENT TO ALLOW THIS TO -- TO CONTINUE TO BE BUILT OF THIS KIND OF CONSTRUCTION AND BE REPLICATED. YOU HAVE TO SAY NO SOMETIME AND THIS IS THE DAY TO SAY NO. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. CAN WE GET A MOTION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FOR EITHER -- >>LYNN HURTAK: EITHER. I NEED SOMEONE TO MAKE A MOTION. I AM CHAIRING TONIGHT SO I AM NOT MAKING MOTION. OKAY, I HAVE A LIGHT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WERE YOU GOING TO READ IT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO DENY. I MAKE A MOTION TO DE DENY REZ-25-88. IN LOOKING AT THE TAMPA 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE POLICY 1.2.18, I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS PROJECT PROMOTES THE HARMONY AND THE VISUAL RELATIONSHIP AND TRANSITION BETWEEN NEW AND OLDER BUILDINGS AS WE SAW IN PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WERE SHOWN DURING PUBLIC COMMENT. NEW BUILDINGS TO IMITATE OLDER DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE SYMPATHETIC TO THE SCALE. WE SEE SCALE AND PROPORTION, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES RIGHT AROUND THERE, RIGHT NEXT DOOR. SO MANY DIFFERENT EXAMPLES. LAND USE POLYS 1.2.23 REQUIRE THE SCALE AND MASSING OF NEW DEVELOPMENT IN MIXED USE CENTERS PROVIDE APPROPRIATE TRANSITIONS AND BUILDING HEIGHT AND BULL THAT CAN ARE SENSITIVE TO THE PHYSICAL AND VISUAL CHARACTER OF ADJOINING NEIGHBORHOODS. WE SAW ONE EXAMPLE OF A VERY LARGE BUILDING NEXT TO A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME. THERE WAS TESTIMONY THERE REGARDING HOW THE SUN DOESN'T EVEN APPEAR UNTIL 11:00 IN THE DAY. THAT SHOWS YOU RIGHT THERE YOU HAVE A VERY LARGE BUILDING NEXT TO A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME. LOOKING AT SECTION -- FOR THE PD CODE, 27-136.6, PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT WHERE APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION, CHARACTER AND COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING IMPACTED NEIGHBORHOODS. BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND EXISTING GEOGRAPHY. WE SEE A LOT OF HISTORIC SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. WE TALK OF THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, AND LET ME SEE WHAT ELSE. PROMOTE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES. SECTION 8 OF 27-137 136. NOT PROMOTING ARCHITECTURE FEATURES THAT COMPLEMENT THE COMMUNITY AND ENHANCE THE OVERALL COMMUNITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT. WE SEE THIS NOT JUST WITH THE HEIGHT OF THE 35-FOOT PLUS, BUT, AGAIN, SURROUNDED BY SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT IS MY MOTION OF DENIAL. >>LYNN HURTAK: A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? OKAY. ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>NAYA YOUNG: YES. >>LUIS VIERA: NO. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YES. >>LYNN HURTAK: I CAN'T SEE HIM. HE DISAPPEARED. NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE HIM WHEN HE SAID THAT. CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I SAID YES. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. >>CLERK: MOTION PASSES TO DENY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT IS THE V VOTE. >>CLERK: WITH VIERA VOTE NOTHING. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL. >>LYNN HURTAK: MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 2, WHICH IS A COMP PLAN. I AM SORRY, A VACATING. APOLOGIES. VACATE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MADAM CHAIR. >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM SORRY, MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: AS YOU LEAVE, CAN YOU BE QUIET, PLEASE. THANK YOU. >>MARTIN SHELBY: REFRESHING COUNCIL'S RECOGNITION. YOU MOVED ITEM 2 DOWN TO BE HEARD WITH ITEM 6, A COMPANION.

I WANT TO GIVE A BRIEF ISSUE OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING EFFORT FOR CITY COUNCIL'S KNOWLEDGE AND FOR THE PUBLIC. GIVEN TIMELINE WE HAVE GETTING TO THIS DATE TODAY. SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, I WILL JUST READ BRIEFLY JUST SOME TIMELINE ITEMS HERE. IN ADDITION TO THE LAND USE CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS SITE IS PART OF A CITY-INITIATED AFFORDABLE HOUSING EFFORT. CITY ACQUIRED THE ASSEMBLAGE IN 2022 WITH A, I'M OF CDBG AND ARPA FUNDS AND ISSUED A COMPETITIVE RFP IN 2023 FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE RECORD ARE. JANUARY 2025, DOING BUSINESS AS ASHLEY EAST LCC WAS SELECTED AND THE CITY ENTERED INTO A 99-YEAR GROWN LEASE IN JUNE OF 2025 TO SECURE LONG-TERM AFFORDABILITY. CRA FUNDED IN SUPPORT BOTH ADJACENT PROPERTY ACQUISITION AS WELL AS CONSTRUCTION. WHILE THIS BACKGROUND IS NOT PART OF THE REZONING CRITERIA ITSELF, WE ARE PROVIDING IT IN RECOGNITION OF THE COUNCIL REQUEST THAT STAFF HAS FULL CONTEXT AND TRANSPARENCY ON CITY-SUPPORTED HOUSING INITIATIVES. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT COUNCIL HAS COMPLETE AWARENESS OF THE PUBLIC INVESTMENT AND INTENT UNDERLYING THIS PROJECT. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION. IS THIS REALLY A THREE-PAGE REVISION SHEET? >>CHRIS DEMANCHE: IT IS, MA'AM. >>LYNN HURTAK: HOW? I DON'T THINK I HAVE SEEN A THREE-PAGE REVISION SHEET. >>CHRIS DEMANCHE: ITEMS THAT WE HAD TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT IS SIGNIFICANT. >>CHRIS DEMANCHE: IT IS. WE WORKED WITH THEM OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS TO GET IT FINALIZED. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. >>CHRIS DEMANCHE: TO OKAY, THANK YOU.

START WITH AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE. >>LYNN HURTAK: SORRY, MR. CHRIS DEMANCHE, I AM GOING TO HAVE TO STOP YOU RIGHT HERE, BECAUSE I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS REVISION SHEET AND I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH WHAT WE DID AGAIN EARLIER. I AM CONCERNED THAT WE ARE GOING TO END UP IN A SPOT WHERE WE ARE GOING TO WANT TO CONTINUE THIS BECAUSE OF THE REVISION SHEETS. >> MAY I -- >>LYNN HURTAK: MISS BATSEL, THAT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD. IF YOU WOULD WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS. IF A CONTINUANCE IS NECESSARY, LET'S DISCUSS IT NOW. >> ELISE BATSEL FOR THE RECORD. NO CONTINUANCE IS NECESSARY. OUR ENGINEER FOUND AN ERROR IN THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION. BECAUSE WE FOUND AN ERROR IN THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION LAST WEEK CAUSED ALL OF THE CALCULATIONS TO BE JUST SLIGHTLY OFF. WHAT YOU ARE SEEING THERE IS YOU ARE SEEING CHANGES TO EVERY THEN CALCULATION ON THAT SITE PLAN CHANGED SLIGHTLY -- JUST SLIGHTLY BASED ON THAT ENGINEERING CALCULATION HE IS HERE AND HAPPY TO EXPLAIN THAT, IF YOU WOULD LIKE. HAD TO DO WITH THE LITTLE AREA VACATED OR IS PROPOSED TO BE VACATED. SO, YES, WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A CONTINUANCE AND WE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH STAFF TO WORK THAT WE DON'T NEED TO ASK FOR ONE. >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MY COLLEAGUES BUT A I AM UNCOMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD. I WANT TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION NOW SO WE ARE NOT -- SO I HAVE COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND THEN COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>BILL CARLSON: SO THE -- SO THE APPLICANT JUST TESTIFIED THAT -- THAT THERE WAS THIS ERROR. AND SHE DIDN'T SAY WHO CAUSED THE ERROR, BUT THIS WAS MEANT TO FIX THE ERROR. IF THE STAFF CAN VERIFY THAT HAPPENED, THEN -- AND THIS IS THE NORMAL SOLUTION, THEN IT SEEMS LIKE -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE THE REMEDY WOULD BE. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: -- >>BILL CARLSON: IS IT POSSIBLE TO VALIDATE WHAT SHE SAID? >>LYNN HURTAK: ONE MOMENT, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. STAFF. >>CHRIS DEMANCHE: THANK YOU, CHRIS DEMANCHE, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. YES THE APPLICANT BROUGHT IT TO OUR ATTENTION THERE WAS A REMNANT PARCEL ON THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE PROPERTY. AND THIS DID THROW OUT SOME OF THE NUMBERS SLIGHTLY. IT WASN'T ANYTHING OUTRAGEOUS. SO THERE WERE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY, COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PERHAPS THIS IS BETTER STATED AS A QUESTION TO STAFF AND MAYBE THAT WILL GIVE AN INDICATION TO PEOPLE IN THIS DISCUSSION. THIS PROJECT FACES A SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD ON COLUMBUS, RIGHT, ON OTHER SIDE? >>CHRIS DEMANCHE: CORRECT, SINGLE-FAMILY ACROSS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AND SO THE GARAGE -- AND A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THAT FRONT-FACING COLUMBUS IS OPEN. AND NOT UNITS. SO NOT BUILT OUT TO KIND OF BLEND IN -- OR AT LEAST BE A BUFFER BETWEEN THE SINGLE-FAMILY AND THIS COMPLEX? >>CHRIS DEMANCHE: I CAN BRING UP THE LAND SCAPE PLAN TO SHOW THAT. THERE IS AN ITEM WITHIN THAT REVISION SHEET WITH WORDS -- WORDING REQUESTING THAT PLANNING COMMISSION AND SCREENING AND ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENTS ARE PRO PROVIDED ALONG THE OPEN-AIR PARKING FACE EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YEAH, I DID SEE THAT. BUT WOULDN'T IT BE MORE APPROPRIATE IN THE TRANSITION TO HAVE -- >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN, THAT IS A QUESTION FOR AFTER WE HAVE A PRESENTATION. WE ARE DISCUSSING THE FACT OF MAKING -- SEEING WHETHER OR NOT WE WISH TO CONTINUE THIS BECAUSE OF THE REVISION SHEET OR NOT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I GUESS I WAS TRYING TO PROVIDE LEADING QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. TO GIVE AN INDICATION OF WHERE I WAS AT. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: YES, MA'AM. AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE APPROPRIATE STAFF, ETC. ON THIS. BUT THE PETITIONER'S ATTORNEY TOLD THUS WAS KIND OF A DOMINO EFFECT WHERE SOMETHING SMALL HAPPENED THAT CAUSED A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANYONE ELSE? COUNCIL MEMBER YOUNG. MICROPHONE. >>NAYA YOUNG: SO I HAVE -- I HAVE A COUPLE OF CONCERNS. >>LYNN HURTAK: IS IT ABOUT THE WAIVERS? BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE WILL WAIT FOR THE PRESENTATION. >>NAYA YOUNG: SO WE WILL WAIT FOR THE PRESENTATION AND THEN WE CAN STILL TALK ABOUT IT.

I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A QUESTION AND I WOULD LIKE IN GENERAL, WHEN THERE ARE WAIVERS, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD JUST ALWAYS TELL US WHAT THOSE WAIVERS ARE INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING THEY ARE IN THE STAFF REPORT. SO IF YOU CAN SAY WHICH WAIVER -- WHAT THE WAIVERS ARE. >>Chris: ABSOLUTELY. CHRIS DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT TOWARD THAT ILLUSTRATION. FIRST WAIVER TO 27-283.15 TO ALLOW A 19-FOOT TO 49. FOOT LOADING SPA IS IN LUEU OF THE 12 FOOT. WAIVER TWO, THIS IS TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF OVERALL SPACES FROM 198 REQUIRED TO 120 PROVIDED.THIS WOULD BE A 39% REDUCTION UNDER THE WAIVER. THIRD WAIVER SECTION 27-284.4.1. THIS IS TO REDUCE THE PERCENTAGE OF RETENTION QUALITY TREES PRESERVED FOR A NONWOODED SITE FROM 50% TO 30%. THE FOURTH WAIVER IS TO SECTION 27-284.25-F-1.

COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN, YOU HAD QUESTIONS? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IN REFERENCE TO THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THIS HIGHER INTENSITY USE AND SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU GOT IN THERE ABOUT THE SCREENS, BUT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL UNITS BASICALLY FACING COLUMBUS AND, YOU KNOW -- STREET WALK-UP KIND OF THING SIMILAR TO WHAT WE DID IN EAST TAMPA AT THAT COMPLEX. THAT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING OR SOMETHING THAT THROW THIS THING ALL THE WAY BACK? >>LYNN HURTAK: I THINK WE PROBABLY SHOULD WAIT FOR THE APPLICANT ON THAT ONE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WAS CURIOUS FROM THE STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE, IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED. >>CHRIS DEMANCHE: I WOULD SAY IF IT INVOLVES RECONFIGURATION OF THE BUILDING AND IF WE ARE LOOKING AT GROUND UNITS OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD INVOLVE STAFF TO THOROUGHLY LOOK AT A RECONFIGURATION OR A CHANGE IN THE LAYOUT OF THE BUILDING, WOULD SAY WE WOULD NEED -- WE WOULD NEED ADDITIONAL TIME AND LIKELY A DRC REVIEW. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? APPLICANT. I AM VERY SORRY. I HAVE MY LIST. I SHOULD SIMPLY BE FOLLOWING IT AND I AM NOT. PLANNING COMMISSION. >> THANK YOU, QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THIS SITE WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT JACKSON HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD. IT IS IN EVACUATION ZONE E. SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND TWO FUTURE LAND USE DEGREES NATION. COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 IN PINK AND RED. SUPPORTS RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT. SITE FRONT EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE WHICH IS A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR. SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ARE LOCATED TO THE NORTH AND EAST. IN THE FUTURE THE TAMPA INNOVATION CENTER WILL BE WEST. AND I-4 IS DIRECTLY SOUTH. A MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CONSISTENT WITH T THE CMU-35 AND . PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND IT APPROPRIATE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT WITH I-4 TO THE SOUTH AND SINGLE-FAMILY TO THE NORTH. BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, THE APPLICANT AGREED TO ADD A MARKED CROSSWALK. ALSO STAFF ALSO NOTES THAT VEHICLE MOVEMENTS AND SERVICE FUNCTIONS ARE HE MANY CONCENTRATED IN THE CENTER OF THE SITE WHERE ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN FEATURES COULD FURTHER IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. ALSO AGREED TO INCORPORATE ARCHITECTURAL SCREENING OR TREATMENT ALONG OPEN AIR PARKING SUPPORTING POLICIES OF PARKING TO BE SCREEN IN THE PUBLIC REALM. OVERALL WILL PROVIDE INFILL HOUSING IN TRANSIT AND EMPLOYMENTS OPTIONS AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION. SEEING NONE. APPLICANT. >> ELISE BATSEL, STEARNS, WEAVER AND MILLER. CATE WELLS WAS BRINGING UP AN ISSUE WITH THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION. CAN I HAVE ONE MOMENT TO CONFER WITH HER? >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. >> THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: WHILE THEY ARE CONFERRING, ANYONE WHO HAS COME IN THAT NEEDS TO BE SWORN, IF YOU COULD PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. [SWEARING IN] >> I DO. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. A GOOD USE OF TIME. APPRECIATE YOU. >> STEARNS -- ELISE BATSEL, STEARNS, WEAVER AND MILLER. IT APPEARS FROM A LEGAL DESCRIPTION PERSPECTIVE, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO FIRST READING AT ANOTHER HEARING BECAUSE THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION ATTACHED TO THE PD ORDINANCE THAT YOU ARE REVIEWING MAY BE INCORRECT. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. MR. SHELBY, WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE NOW FOR COUNCIL TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE CONCERNS THEY HAVE WITH THIS PROJECT? >> WE ARE HAPPY TO PRESENT FULLY IF YOU WOULD LIKE. >>LYNN HURTAK: I KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN HAS SOME ISSUES. I HAVE SOME ISSUES. IN ORDER TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAVING TO GO BACK FURTHER, I KNOW THAT COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG HAD SOME QUESTIONS. CAN YOU GIVE A VERY ABBREVIATED PRESENTATION SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE THE COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS SO THAT THEY MAY CAN BE FIXED IN BETWEEN -- >> YES. >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM TRYING TO HAVE A NICE BALANCE HERE. MR. SHELBY, THAT APPROPRIATE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE EVIDENCE IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION BY THE COUNCIL. >> I HAVE A PRESENTATION AND I WILL GO VERY QUICKLY AND EQUIP SLIDES. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT WILL BE GREAT. >> YOU KNOW WHERE THIS PROPERTY IS. I WILL SKIP THE FUTURE LAND USE AND ZONING AND THE PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. THIS IS 118 AFFORDABLE UNIT. JUST FOR THE RECORD, 20% OF THOSE ARE 50% AMI OR LOWER AND ALL OF UNITS ARE 80% AMI OR LOWER. THIS SITE HAS A NUMBER OF REALLY IMPORTANT SITE CONSTRAINTS, SO I THINK A NUMBER OF YOUR QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ARE GOING TO RELATE TO SOME OF THE SITE CONSTRAINTS. I AM GOING TO QUICKLY MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE FOR YOUR BENEFIT. THERE IS A -- THERE WAS A BIG CONCERN OF TREE PRESERVATION. YOU CAN SEE THE TREES THAT ARE PRESERVED AND THE TWO BIG CLUSTERS AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, A 44-INCH LIVE OAK AND A 31-INCH LIVE OAK AT THE NORTHWEST AND A 22-INCH LIVE OAK. THERE IS ALSO SIGNIFICANT SANITARY SEWER LINES IN PURPLE THAT YOU SEE THERE. THE GRAVITY SEWER SYSTEM FLOWS DIRECTLY SOUTH. WHAT IS INTERESTING IS THAT THERE IS A PREMANUFACTURED STORMWATER SYSTEM. AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BUILD A BUILDING ON TOP OF THAT. SO WE HAVE THE TREE PRESERVATION. WE HAVE AN ODD SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM AND A STORMWATER SYSTEM -- STORMWATER VAULT THAT CAN'T BE BELT ON TOP OF. -- BUILT ON TOP OF. OUR GEOTECHNICAL REPORT DISCOVERED AN ANOMALY. AFTER WE DID OUR DUE DILIGENCE, WE DISCOVERED A LARGE ANOMALY IN AREA THAT IS A WHITE CIRCLE. THAT IS UNSUITABLE FOR A BUILDING AREA. WE HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE EAST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT DESIGN VERMICULITE. ON FROM DOORS HAVE TO BE TOWARD FRONT YARD. SURFACE PARKING IN REAR AND THE SIDE. SO DIFFERENT SETBACKS APPLY TO THIS PROPERTY. YOU TAKE ALL OF THOSE THINGS CUMULATIVELY, THERE IS REALLY NO OTHER WAY ON THIS PROPERTY TO CONFIGURE THIS SITE TO DELIVER THE AFFORDABLE HOUSE UNITS THAT WERE PROMISED IN THE RFP AND MAKE THIS SITE WORK EFFECTIVELY. SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAIVERS. REALLY QUICK, I WILL GO THROUGH THOSE IN CASE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE. WE ARE ASKING FOR A PARKING REDUCTION FROM 198 TO 120 PARKING SPACES. THAT IS 1.01 DWELLING UNITS PER UNION. THE PARKING -- WE HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE PARKING STUDY AND IT DOES SAY THAT IS AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT. I WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A LIVE LOCAL ACT PROJECT, YOUR LIVE LOCAL ACT AFFORDABLE REQUIREMENT IS .8 SPACES PER UNIT. WE ARE EXCITING THAT BY 1.01 SPACES JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION. SAME WITH GREEN SPACE. WE ARE ASKING FOR A GREEN SPACE WAIVER, BUT YOUR NEW LIVE LOCAL STANDARD REQUIRES 100 SQUARE FEET PER UNIT. WE ARE PROVIDING 194 SQUARE FEET. SO, YOU KNOW, THIS PROVIDES THE CODE REQUIREMENT. THE LIVE LOCAL STANDARD AND, OF COURSE. WHAT WE ARE PROVIDING FOR THE PROJECT. FROM A TREE RETENTION PERSPECTIVE, WE ARE REMOVING FOUR NONHAZARDOUS GRAND TREES. THAT IS THAT CLUSTER. AS WE DISCUSSED BETWEEN THE UNIQUE SITE CONSTRAINTS, THE GEOGRAPHICAL ANOMALY AND EAST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT, WE DID HAVE TO REMOVE CERTAIN TREES. THE LOADING SPACE BERTH REDUCTION, WE HAVE CHANGED THE SIZE OF IT SO IT IS A WAIVER, BUT IT IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR THE MOVE-IN, MOVE-OUT TRUCKS FOR THE TWO UNIT APARTMENT THAT ARE AVAILABLE. WE MAY SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE PLAN TO ADDRESS STAFF CONCERNS. WE ADDED THE ADDITION OF AN ADDITIONAL FOUR REPLACEMENT TREES OVER WHAT IS REQUIRED BY CODE. WE PROVIDED -- YOU SEE THE DARKENS AREA ALONG COLUMBUS TO THE NORTH AND YALE TO THE EAST. WE PROVIDED SIGNIFICANTLY ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING AT STAFF'S REQUEST. WE ADDED TYPE 2 TREE ALONG YALE STREET AS WELL. WE ADDED DIFFERENT PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY AREAS WITHIN THE SITE. YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THESE AREAS IN RED THAT LEAD TO THE CIRCLED AREA THAT ARE ACTUALLY ENTRANCES TO THE SITE, INCLUDING ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY. YOU WILL SEE THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL INTERNAL SIDEWALK AS WELL AS THE EXTERIOR SIDEWALKS. AND FINAL THING THAT WE DID TO ADDRESS STAFF CONCERNS IS PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF IN PARTICULAR WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AREA OF THE PODIUM THAT YOU ARE SEEING FROM COLUMBUS AVENUE WALLS OPEN AND PEOPLE WALKING BY COULD SEE THE CARS UNDERNEATH. WE AGREED TO A CONDITION THAT WOULD REQUIRE WE USE SOME KIND OF SCREENING MATERIAL SO YOU DIDN'T SEE THE CARS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ACCEPTED PRINCIPLES THAT WE INCORPORATED IN OUR PLAN. WE MET WITH A SEPTIC OFFICER AND TALKED WITH THE AND INCORPORATED THOSE THAT WERE REQUIRED BY THE EAST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT. AND WE WILL STOP THERE. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY, QUESTIONS. COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WELL, I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT PUT INTO THIS. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT, BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE CITY IS INVEST A LOT OF MONEY IN THIS AS WELL. I THINK TRYING TO FIND THE BEST-CASE SCENARIO. THAT IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO LEAD IN -- LEAD YOU IN ON TOMORROW OF MY RELUCTANCE OF THIS. INTEGRATION OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU KNOW, OUR EXPECTATION, NOW THAT THAT IS IN THE EAST TAMPA OVERLAY, THAT WE ARE BUILDING NEIGHBORHOOD. I THINK HAVING THAT GARAGE -- JUST LIKE WE TALK ABOUT THE GARAGES AND THESE DEAD SPACES. AND, AGAIN, A SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS THE WAY. JUST A LINE OF STUDIO APARTMENTS, TO REDUCE THE PARKING WAIVER TO GET DOWN TO WHAT YOU ARE TALKING THE LIVE LOCAL LEVEL. STUDIO PARANORMAL OR SOMETHING THERE THAT WERE STREET-FACING UNIONS, RESIDENTIAL UNITS THAT WOULD PROVIDE, AGAIN, A SENSE OF COMMUNITY OPPOSE $TO THIS JUST BEING SEGREGATED WALLED-OFF COMPLEX THAT WHAT IS NOT WORKING IN ORCHESTRATION WITH THE REST -- WITH THE REST OF YEAR. BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I AM SEEING. I AM SEEING A VERY SUBURBAN WALLED-OFF BUILDING NOT INTEGRATED WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD STANDING ALONE. AND THAT IS MY CONCERN. THE OTHER STUFF THAT YOU SAID MISS BATSEL. I GET IT. I GET THE RESTRAINT WITH THE SEWER SYSTEM AND THE TREE ISSUE YOU ARE DEALING WITH. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE -- ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS ON COLUMBUS. A BIG TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR AND, AGAIN, ALL SINGLE-FAMILY ACROSS THE STREET. I THINK WE CAN DO BETTER DOWN THERE ON THAT GARAGE LEVEL. AND THEN LANDSCAPE SCREENING DOES NOTHING BUT -- EVEN YOUR ART EXPEDI ARTIFICIL LANDSCAPING. >>LYNN HURTAK: MISS BATSEL, YOU TALKED OF SOME OF THE CONSTRAINTS. SINCE CITY COUNCIL IS NOT INVOLVED WITH RFPs. WHAT WAS THE REQUIREMENT WITH THE RFP AND THE PROPOSAL EXPECTED. >> I WILL LET KAREEM BRANTLEY WHO IS THE DEVELOPER WHO WENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS WITH THE CITY ADDRESS THAT FOR YOU. >> HUH, GOOD EVENING. KAREEM BRANTLEY WITH THE DEVELOPER FOR THE PROBABLY. WE HAVE OFFICES IN EAST TAMPA -- SORRY IN YBOR ON EAST 7th IN TAMPA HERE AS WELL AS SOUTH FLORIDA. MAY I HAVE THE QUESTION, AND HE CAN TRY TO ANSWER IT. >>CarolCAR . >>BILL CARLSON: MISS BATSEL TALKED OF THE PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS BUT WITH THE RFP AND NUMBER TWO, BASED ON YOUR SPECIFIC PROPOSAL FOR THE CITY. THE NUMBER OF UNITS IS REQUIRED -- WHAT ARE YOU REQUIRED TO DO BY THE CITY? >> SO WE PROPOSE WE WILL DO THE 118 UNITS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. ONE CONDITIONS FROM THE CITY THAT'S 20% OF THE UNITS -- AT LEAST 20% OF THE UNITS BE AT 50% AMI OR AREA MEDIAN INCOME OR BELOW. WE HAD NUMEROUS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS AND WE STILL HAVE MORE TO GO. WE WILL NOT DO SOMETHING WITHOUT PRESENTING OUR PLAN EVEN WHEN IT TAKES SHAPES WITH THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT DRAWING. ULTIMATELY AT THE END OF THE DAY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CRA AS WELL AS THE CITY REQUIRED US TO DO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CAME UP WITH THE 118-UNIT PLAN AND PRESENTED THAT TO THE CITY IN RESPONSE TO THE RFP. WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS THE RESULTS OF THAT -- OF THAT REQUIREMENT. >>BILL CARLSON: JUST A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION, MAYBE. EITHER YOU OR MISS BATSEL. SHE TALKED ABOUT THE SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WAS UNDERNEATH AND ALSO THAT ANOMALY WHICH WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. WAS THE CITY AWARE OF THOSE THINGS? >> NO. >>BILL CARLSON: ARE THEY CITY FACILITIES THAT COULD BE MOVED? OR WHAT IF IN YOUR DISCUSSION WITH THE I ASK, ARE THERE ANY OTHER POSSIBILITIES ON WHAT TO DO WITH THAT. >> WITH RESPECT TO THE ANOMALY. IT IS AN ANOMALY. I WON'T CALL IT A SINKHOLE. >> IT IS A VOID. >> IT IS A VOID AND THE GEOTECHNICAL SAID THAT AREA IN THE PROTECTED RADIUS SHOULD NOT HAVE A BUILDING ON TOP OF IT. A FURTHER CONSTRAINT. WITH RESPECT TO RELOCATING OUR SEWER. OUR ENGINEER JOHN EVELYN IS HERE. BUT WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE CITY AND FDOT TAPPING INTO SOME OF THE FDOT THERE. JOHN, IF YOU WANT TO TALK MORE SPECIFICALLY, BUT THAT LOCATION IS THE RELOCATED AREA GIVEN ALL THE OTHER ISSUES. SO WE HAVE WORKED THROUGH THOSE ISSUES FROM AN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE. >> YEAH, HE CAN SPEAK TO IT. JOHN EVELYN WITH STAND TECH. 777 SOUTH HARBOUR ISLAND BOULEVARD. THE REASON WE HAVE TO RELOCATE THE SEWER BECAUSE IT IS CURRENTLY RUNNING DOWN 15TH STREET. GOES DOWN 1st AND 15TH. LARGE 18-INCH TRUNK LINE THAT SERVES MAJORITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE NORTH. AND WE ARE PUTTING THE BUILDING RIGHT OFF 15th RIGHT AFTER WE VACATE IT. BUILDING HAS TO COME DOWN THROUGH THERE AND ROUTE THE SEWER ARM THE BUILDING. >>LYNN HURTAK: REPEAT YOUR NAME. >> JOHN EVELAN WITH STANTECH. IT YOU THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? >>BILL CARLSON: I THINK PROCEDURALLY MISS BATSEL, LEGAL SAID WE HAVE TO CONTINUE THIS. >> CATE BROUGHT UP THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION -- OUR STAFF WAS DEALING WITH THE CITY STAFF, WE DIDN'T TOUCH BASE ON THAT. AND WE THINK THERE IS POTENTIALLY A PROBLEM WITH THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION ATTACHED TO THE ORDINANCE. WE DON'T WANT TO MOVE FORWARD AND HAVE IT EN CORRECT BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU AGAIN. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANYTHING ELSE. >>BILL CARLSON: SHOULD WE GET LEGAL. >>LYNN HURTAK: WE HAVE MORE QUESTIONS. COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG. >>NAYA YOUNG: WELL, ONE, I THINK IT IS GREAT FOR EAST TAMPA ESPECIALLY WITH THE INNOVATION CENTER BEING NEXT TO IT. I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE VERY GREAT. BUT ALSO WITH THE CITY INVESTING, YOU KNOW, $9 MILLION, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD TO OUR BEST TO DO THE BEST THAT WE CAN. I WILL BE HONEST, I -- I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND AS FAR AS THE CONSTRAINTS. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE TREES. I -- I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND, BUT I IT SHALL THAT PART REALLY -- YOU KNOW, WE -- WE HAVE A HABIT HERE -- NOT WE HAVE A HABIT HERE, BUT IN OUR CONSTRUCTION, INSTEAD OF THINKING OF OUR TREES, IT IS HOW WE MOVE AROUND THEM. WE TEAMS KIND OF DISPOSE OF THEM I UNDERSTAND FROM THE PRESENTATION WHY. BUT I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. I JUST HAVE TO STATE THAT. I THINK ALSO, TOO, TOP COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN'S POINT, THE TRANSITION FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO -- YOU KNOW, TO THE HOUSING. I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT BE SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER. YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I'M NOT AN ARCTIC TICKET AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER TO HAVE DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES. MAYBE IT IS SOME -- CAN WE DO WALK-UP UNITS ON COLUMBUS OR JUST SOMETHING SO THAT IT KIND OF FITS INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BECAUSE THERE ARE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ACROSS THE STREET. MAYBE THAT IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. AND ALSO I DIDN'T SEE -- WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT THE -- AT THE SITE PLAN, THE -- THE WALKWAYS. IS IT -- IS IT JUST THE FIVE NUMBERS OR GOING TO BE THE WIDE. BECAUSE I SAW ON THE -- ON THE PROJECT, IT HAD THE WIDE PUBLIC WALKWAYS. ARE THEY GOING TO BE WIDE? OR THE FIVE. BECAUSE THE FIVE IS STANDARD WITH THE CODE, YES. >> YEAH, THESE WILL BE NON -- >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU HAVE TO STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN. >> KAREEM BRANTLEY. THE SIDEWALKS HERE ARE DESIGNED TO BE MUCH BROADER. THEY ARE DESIGNED TO BASICALLY HAVE MORE ACTIVITY AT THE SIDEWALK LEVEL. SO IF PEOPLE ARE PASSING BY, IF YOU WERE ROLLING A CARRIAGE, IF SOMETHING -- IF CHILDREN ARE PLAYING IN THE PARK AREA IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING, IT DOESN'T CONSTRAIN THE AREA SO MUCH. IF YOU LOOK AT COLUMBUS DRIVE, ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO DO IS REALACTIVATE THE AREA. WE HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS GIVING LIFE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. CREATING DISTANCE FROM THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ACROSS THE STREET. WHEN YOU REALLY LOOK AT THIS PROBABLY, ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT, THAT THE CONTEXT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT INTERRUPTED SO MUCH THAT WE HAVE THIS BIG EYESORE BUILDING RELATIVE TO THE HOMES. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA WHAT I MEAN FROM THAT. IF YOU LOOK FROM THE SOUTHEAST, YOU HAVE THE BUILDING PUSHED BACK AND ALL THE AREA IS OPEN FOR THAT AREA ON THE EAST SIDE. YOU LOOK THE BUILDING IN CONTEXT OF HEIGHT. I AM A LITTLE OVER SIX FEET. THIS BUILDING TO THE HIGHEST HABITABLE FLOOR IS 48 FEET. IF YOU HOOK A THAT, IT IS EIGHT OF ME JUST STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. SO WE -- WE ALSO WANT TO DO THAT IN THE CONTEXT WHERE WE ARE NOT MAKING THE INTERIOR LIVING OF THE UNITS SO CRAMPED. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT BACK IN THE DAYS, YOU USED TO HAVE 7'4" INCH ABOVE FINISHED FLOOR AND WAS DONE BEFORE ALL REQUIREMENTS FOR FRESH AIR AND SOFFITS THAT HAD TO REACH TO THE OUTSIDE. WE HAVE BEEN THOUGHTFUL HOW WE DESIGN THE BUILDING SUCH THAT THE INTERIOR LIVING IS RESPECTED AND ALSO THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING IS RESPECTED TO THE COMMUNITY SO WE ARE NOT BUILDING OUT OF SCALE. THE WAY IT IS SITUATED ON THE SITE WITH THE E-TECH TO THE WEST. YOU HAVE A SITUATION NOTHING IS STARING ON TOP OF NEIGHBORING HOUSES. BIG SET-BACK ON THE BASE OF COLUMBUS. LARGE SETBACK ON EAST. THE EAST WILL BE HIGHWAY AND THE SOUTH WILL BE THE E-TECH. WE TAKE THAT HEART. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE EXTERIOR IS FINAL. THOSE CAN BE WORKED ON AND THOSE ARE MORE AESTHETIC THINGS TO DO. >> IF YOU CAN PUT THE OVERHEAD ON. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT TO THAT. WE ORIGINALLY HAD A LOT OF PARK -- PARK AREAS SKETCHED OUT HERE, BUT WE WERE SO CONSTRAINED ON GREEN PEACE THAT WE TOOK THE HARD SCAPE AWAY. IF CITY COUNCIL WILL LIKE TO SEE THAT REIMPLEMENTED, WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT. OBVIOUSLY OUR GREEN SPACE WAIVER WOULD BE BIGGER THAN IT IS NOW. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY TO OTHER QUESTIONS? >>NAYA YOUNG: NO. >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ECHO WHAT THEY SAID. IF YOU CAN LEAVE THAT ON THE OVERHEAD. AND CCTV -- YES, THANK YOU. IT LOOK LIKE THERE IS MAYBE A DOZEN PARKING SPACE THERE IS THAT WE CAN TURN INTO FRONT-FACING UNITS. BECAUSE WITH -- WITH THE CENTER THAT IS GOING NEXT DOOR, THIS WILL BE A WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IF YOU PUT A WALL THERE AN GREENERY, THAT IS NOT -- THAT IS NOT ADDING TO THE WALKABLE FEEL. I ECHO COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. I WILL BE FINE -- PARKING WAIVER DOESN'T BOTHER ME. YOU BETWEEN GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE LIVE LOCAL PARKING WAIVER. BUT THIS REALLY -- THIS NEEDS TO BE -- YES, IT IS SUBURBAN. SCREAMS SUBURBIA. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM ALSO WITH THE GREEN SPACE WAIVER IF WE ARE HAVING MORE ACT VAGUE AT FRONT. SIDEWALK. EVEN A HARD SCAPE WITH AA PATIO WITH SEATING. SOMETHING TO CONNECTS IT TO THE STREET AND WHY I WANTED TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME BACK. BECAUSE WE CLEARLY SEE THIS AND SEVERAL OF US ARE SAYING THE SAME THING. THIS IS CITY OF TAMPA. THIS IS A JEWEL FOR US. WE ARE PUTTING A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS AS WELL. AND I KNOW -- AND WE WANT TO -- ANYTHING THAT WE PUT OUR MONEY INTO, WE WANT -- WE WANT IT TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN POINT TO OTHERS AND SAY, WE ARE DOING WHAT YOU ARE ASKING US -- WHAT WE ARE ASKING OF OTHERS. SO THIS IS -- FOR ME THIS IS A DEAL BREAKER TO NOT HAVE A WALKABLE CONNECTIVITY TO COLUMBUS AVENUE. >> FOR CLARIFICATION THAT THE U ARE NOT ON THE GROUND FLOOR. >>LYNN HURTAK: WALKABLE. ONLY ON COLUMBUS. DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE MANY MORE. I KNOW THAT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE THE OUTCOMES BUT WHAT YOU ARE HEARING FROM AT LEAST SEVERAL OF US THAT WE WILL BE WILLING TO TAKE A FURTHER PARKING WAIVER FOR IT. WE CAN -- IF YOU ARE SHOWING SOME GREEN SPACE AMENITY OR SOME OUTDOOR AMENITY FOR THE RESIDENTS. THAT IS FINE. ALSO IT WILL BE GREAT TO KNOW HOW CLOSE PUBLIC PARKS ARE IF YOU BRING THAT FORWARD NECK TIME THERE ARE BUILDING SPACE NEXT DOOR, WILL THERE BE ANY GREEN SPACE ACCOMMODATED IN THAT. HOW WILL THESE TWO THINGS INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER. EVEN IF WE DON'T HAVE A FULL RENDERING, THAT IS FINE. WHAT ARE WE ENVISIONING? HOW ARE WE ENVISIONING THE TWO INTERACTING? HOW DO WE ENVISION THIS BUILDING INTERACTING WITH NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE STREET. I DON'T THINK WE ARE CONCERNED OF THE HEIGHT -- THE NEIGHBORS ARE WILL BE LOOKING AT I-4. ANYTHING THAT YOU PUT THERE IS NICER THAN THEY ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW. THAT IS NOT A CONCERN FOR ME. I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR OTHERS AS WELL. WE JUST -- YOU KNOW, UNITS -- THE HEIGHT DOESN'T BOTHER ME. IF YOU NEED TO GO HIGHER I DON'T A PROBLEM THAT IS JUST ME. I AM SPEAKING FOR MYSELF. IF YOU NEED IT TO GO HIGHER. I WANT IT TO FIT IN. WALKABLE UNIT ON COLUMBUS. HOWEVER THAT CAN HAPPEN. MORE USABLE GREEN SPACE AGAIN. MAKE IT MORE -- LESS -- LESS SUBURBAN. MORE URBAN. >> ALL RIGHT. RECEIVED. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, IF I MAY RESP RESPOND. IT IS ON ME. I DID NOT WANT TO HAVE THE UNITS ALONG COLUMBUS. AND I WILL ONLY TELL YOU WHY -- I WILL ONLY TELL YOU WHY. ONE OF THE CONCERNS I HAVE -- AND, AGAIN, WE ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO BALANCE -- IS THAT THOSE RESIDENTS THAT WILL LIVE ALONG COLUMBUS WILL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE ISOLATED FROM THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE BUILDING. WE LOOK AT THE AMENITIES IN THE BUILDING LIKE THE BOW HE --BODE, IF YOU WERE IN YOUR EVENING WEAR AND YOU WANT TO GO TO THE ELEVATOR AND GO TO THE BODEGA AND SHOOT A LITTLE POOL, YOU PROBABLY CAN'T DO THAT DEPENDING ON YOUR GENDER. YOU HAVE TO WALK OUTSIDE, WALK AROUND AND DO THAT. I HAD A CONCERN ABOUT RESIDENTS HAVING TO DO THAT. SO IF WE ARE COMFORTABLE WITH DOING THAT, I WILL CERTAINLY CHANGE, BUT IT WAS DONE OUT OF A THOUGHT OF THOSE RESIDENTS BEING EXCLUDE I HAD AND SEPARATED FROM THE LARGER COMMUNITY WITHIN THE BUILDING AND I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, BUT I AM FOLLOWING FALL ON MY SWORD AND PUT THE UNIT IN KNOWING THAT THOSE UNITS, THREE, FOUR UNITS, WHATEVER IT WILL BE TO FILL THAT GAP WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME ACCESS TO THE AMENITIES THAT THE OTHER RESIDENTS WILL HAVE IN THE BUILDING. >>LYNN HURTAK: BUT THEY WILL STILL HAVE ACCESS. >> IT WILL BE A MORE DIFFICULT ACCESS. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WILL SAY THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT WOULD WANT THAT PRIVACY AND NOT WANT THAT CONNECTIVITY. I THINK THERE IS A WAY. MISS BATSEL KNOWS AS SHE HAS BEEN WATCHING US SO LONG. THESE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS THAT WE ARE ENCOURAGING A WE TRY TO DEVELOP A THEME AROUND URBAN DESIGN AND URBAN. TRYING TO TRADITION FROM A SUBURBAN TO URBAN. WE ARE ASKING FOR THOSE. SO MISS BATSEL, YOU WERE RIGHT ON TARGET. I AM GOING TO ALLOW COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. ANYTHING? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SURE. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING AN OPEN MIND. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL PRODUCT. IT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL PRODUCT. IT IS A BARREN LAND SCAPE. AS WAS MENTIONED THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE INTERSTATE. THE INTERSTATE WAS VERY DESTRUCTIVE BECAUSE IT DIVIDED NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMUNITY DESERVES AND SOMETHING THAT WE NEED. YOU TALK OF THE 80% AND BELOW AMI. AND THEN EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING TO BE BUILT AROUND IT. IT IS GOING TO BE COMMUNITY-FRIENDLY PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY. THERE IS A LOT OF POSITIVES. I LOVE THE PROBABLY. A COUPLE OF CHANGES. YOU HEARD THE CONCERNS OF EVERYBODY. I HAVEN'T SPOKEN UNTIL NOW. I THINK IT IS WONDERFUL, BUT, AGAIN, IT SEEMS THAT YOU ARE RECEPTIVE, YOU KNOW, TO WHAT WE SAID, AND WE APPRECIATE THAT. AS WE CONTINUE FORWARD, I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE A WORTHY PARTNERSHIP THAT WE WILL ALL BE VERY, VERY PROUD OF. THANK YOU, SIR. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU. MAYBE ON A TECHNICALITY, WE HAVE TO DELAY THIS. BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING OPEN-MINDEDED TO DO THIS. I FEEL BAD TO SOME EXTENT. MAYBE SOME OF US CAN GIVE WHOEVER IN THE CITY DOING RFPs CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK. IT WILL BE GREAT TO BUT THIS CRY IT ERIE I CAN'T INTO THE RFP.

AS PRESENTED BY STAFF, YOU WILL SEE THERE IS MULTIFAMILY, SINGLE-FAMILY, DUPLEX IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. I DO WANT TO SHOW YOU ONE ELEVATION WHICH IS A VERY NICE ELEVATION FOR THE PD AN IMPROVEMENT OF THE EXISTING HOME BUILT IN 1958. THIS WILL BE OBVIOUSLY A QUITE NICE IMPROVEMENT.

EXCITED TO HEAR THE REPORT FROM STAFF WITH CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE BOARD. COMMUNION SUPPORT IS STRONG. I BELIEVE THERE ARE SIX LETTERS IN THE RECORD FROM NEIGHBORS AND ZERO OPPOSITION. WE DID QUITE A BIT OF OUTREACH TO NEIGHBORS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ENGAGING WITH OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS. GREAT TO HAVE THEIR SUPPORT AND ESPECIALLY WITH TWO OF THE NEIGHBORS WE RECEIVED WRITTEN SUPPORT DIRECTLY JAY COLLINS SENT TO THE PROPERTY. THIS PROPOSE READY ZONING IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND WELL BEING AND INCREASES DEMAND AS OUR POPULATION GROWS AND MORE PEOPLE CALL TAMPA HOME A MIXTURE OF TYPES FROM SINGLE-FAMILY TO MULTIFAMILY CAN ACCOMMODATE MANY NEEDS INCLUDING YOUNG FAMILIES AND SENIORS.

THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED EAST OF SOUTH FERDINAND AND BEST OF THE SELMON EXPRESSWAY. THE SITE DEVELOPED WITH A ONE-STORY DETACHED UNIT. NEXT WE HAVE A SURVEY. I SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT ON THIS PARTICULAR STREET, THERE ARE MULTIFAMILY -- THREE MULTIFAMILY UNITS TO THE SOUTH, SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED TO THE EAST.

THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS ALLOWED BY THE RM-18 ZONING WILL BE TWO DWELLING UNITS. GIVEN THE SURROUNDING USES OF SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, AND UNIT, THE REQUESTED RM-18 ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COORDINATION -- COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THIS APPLICATION. WE FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.

THIS SITE IS WITHIN THE SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, PALMA CEIA NEIGHBORHOOD IN EVACUATION ZONE B. SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND RESIDENTIAL-20 WHICH SUPPORT LOW TO MEDIUM-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USE OPINIONS PORTION OF WEST SANTIAGO A MIXED OF SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND ATTACHED HOME TO THE NORTH OF BAY TO BAY BOULEVARD WHICH IN CMU-35.

OKAY, APPLICANT. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. I AM MARK SORK, THE FATHER OF THE PROPERTY AT THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY AT 3215 WEST SANTIAGO. I AM ASKING -- I HAVE A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION IF THEY CAN -- >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY, CCTV. >> IS IT IS THERE? >>LYNN HURTAK: JUST GIVE THEM A MOMENT TO GET THE PRESENTATION UP. THEY DON'T HAVE THE PRESENTATION? OR IT IS NOT -- I AM NOT SURE -- >> ALL RIGHT, I WILL WING IT -- >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANT. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

THAT IS FINE. MOST OF IT WAS A REPEAT OF WHAT THE STAFF DID. BUT I THINK BASICALLY THE LOT SIZE IS 5,000. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO REZONE TO A RM-18 TO ALLOW FOR THE DUPLEX MY SON WOULD OCCUPY. REPEATING FROM A COMPATIBILITY STANDPOINT. WITHIN THAT STREET AS THEY SAID ACROSS FROM US ARE THREE, FOUR-UNIT DWELLINGS. TO THE -- TO THE WEST SIDE IS TWO MULTIFAMILY UNITS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE. TO THE NORTH SIDE IS COMMERCIAL, BECAUSE IT IS ONE BLOCK OFF OF BAY TO BAY. AND ON THE EAST SIDE -- I KNOW MY NEIGHBOR HERE WHO JUST GOT BACK -- IS AN UNDEVELOPED LOT AND HIS TWO-STORY TEAM HOME AND FURTHER DOWN THE STREET, THERE ARE ADDITIONAL FAMILY-TYPE -- DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSES AND MULTIFAMILY. SO FROM A COMPATIBILITY STANDPOINT, THIS TIME OF ZONING WOULD NOT POSE ANY KIND OF PROPERTY IT SHALL OR PROBLEM. AND IT WOULD FIT INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD BASED ON THE DESIGN. I GUESS THE OTHER PART. WE LOOKED AT COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND WOULD ALLOW FOR INFILL HOUSE FOR AN ADDITIONAL UNION WITHIN THAT AREA WHICH, AGAIN, HAS MANY USES. AND THE DENSITY REPORT AND THE STAFF SAID IT WAS COMPATIBLE OR THAT IT -- IT APPLIED WITH THE DENSITY FACTORS THAT THE CITY IS LOOKING FOR. LASTLY, WE LOOKED LOOKED AT ITS IMPACT ON INFRASTRUCTURE. THERE IS ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE ON THAT STREET FOR WATER, SEWER AND IT IS CLOSE TO TRANSPORTATION, AS WELL AS IT WILL PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL BENEFITS LIKE SIDEWALKS IN FRONT OF THE PROPERTY. SO LASTLY, WE PLAN ON BUILDING -- WE WOULD LIKE YOUR APPROVAL TO BUILD AN RM-18 CITY-APPROVED ORDINANCE STRUCTURE THAT WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT, THAT WILL BE SUPPORTED BY ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE, AND IF APPROVED, IT WILL GIVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR AT LEAST THIS HOME AN UPLIFT. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I KNOW THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE HERE THAT ARE PROBABLY OPPOSED. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? OKAY. YOU WILL HAVE TIME FOR REBUTTAL. IF THERE IS ANYONE -- ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM, STAND UP ALONG THE WALL. JUST GOING TO TAKE THIS TIME AGAIN TO MAKE SURE FOLKS HAVE BEEN SWORN IN.

THANK YOU. AND CHRIS LEWIS. SEVEN NAMES FOR A TOTAL OF TEN MINUTES. >>LYNN HURTAK: ARE YOU READY? GO RIGHT AHEAD. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JACK RODRIGUEZ AND I LIVE AT 3218 SAN JUAN. AND OBVIOUSLY I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND MY NEIGHBORS. THE PALMA CEIA PARK SUBDIVISION WAS PLATTED IN THE '20s. 5,000-SQUARE-FEET LOTS. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DUPLEX OR A TWO-UNIT OR THREE-UNIT BUILT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR OVER 38 YEARS. THAT IS 1987. OR REZONING APPROVED FOR A REQUEST LIKE THIS SINCE 2002. CHAPTER 43 WAS REPLACED BY CHAPTER 27 IN 1989, AND THE R-2 ZONING CHANGED TO RM-16. RM-16 AND RS-50 ARE THE PREDOMINANT ZONINGS IN THE AREA AND PROVIDE FOR AND RECOGNIZES THE AREAS A 5,000-SQUARE-FOOT LOTS AND PROHIBIT DUPLEXES. CITY COUNCIL RECOGNIZED THE ISSUE BASED ON TESTIMONY FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THEY DID NOT WANT ANY MORE DUPLEXES OR TOWN HOUSES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE DUPLEXES IN THE AREA WERE BUILT PRIOR TO CHAPTER 27. THE CURRENT HOUSE CAN BE TORN DOWN AND REPLACED WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOUSE. THE PLANNING COMMISSION. PLANNING COMMISSION'S REPORT IS BASED ON OLD PLAN THAT RECOGNIZES WHAT WAS BUILT PRIOR TO THE CHANGE TO CHAPTER 27 IN 199. IT RECOGNIZES THE DUPLEXES AND MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOREVER. AND THAT'S WHY THE PLAN WANTS TO ALLOW FOR MORE, BUT, AGAIN, NOTHING HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FOR 38 YEARS. THE PLAN DOES NOT LOOK AT THE TREND OF ALL THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES BUILT IN THE AREA. REMEMBER, NO DUPLEXES FOR 38 YEARS. THE PLAN IS OUTDATED AND IGNORES CURRENT MARKET TREND. IT IS TIME FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO UPDATE ITS PLAN AND RECOGNIZE THE CURRENT MARKET THEY NEED TO LOOK AT THEIR OWN POLICY. LAND USE POLICY 9.5.8, GENERALLY PROVIDES TO MAINTAIN THE CHARACTER OF SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AREAS. LAND USE POLICY 9.5.4, GENERALLY PROVIDES TO MAINTAIN THE CURRENT DENSITY AND CHARACTER OF EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY AREAS. TRANSPORTATION, THE STREETS IN PALMA CEIA PARK ARE NARROW AND SOME ARE DEAD ENDED AND FILLED WITH CARS PARKED ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, IN THE STREET, AND PROVIDES A CHALLENGE FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES. THE ZONING REQUEST IS A SPOT ZONING, WHICH IS DEFINED AS THE PROCESS OF SINGLING OUT A SMALL PARCEL OF LAND FOR A USE CLASSIFICATION TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF THE SURROUNDING AREA FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE OWNER OF SUCH PROPERTY AND TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE OTHER OWNERS. AND THAT'S FROM THE ANDERSON AMERICAN LAW OF ZONING. THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS ABOUT 22 SQUARE BLOCKS, WITH ABOUT 440 SITES. 90% ARE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOUSING. THERE HAS BEEN OVER 150 NEW SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES BUILT IN THE LAST TEN YEARS, NO DUPLEXES. NO MULTIFAMILY. THERE ARE ALSO EIGHT SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW, ONE OF WHICH IS DOWN THE STREET FROM THIS PROPERTY. I HAVE BEEN IN THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS FOR OVER 50 YEARS. IN MY OPINION, THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE IS A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED PROPERTY. MOST IMPORTANTLY, COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY DENIED SIMILAR REQUESTS IN THE PAST, REZONING 1636 BASED ON CITY ORDINANCE SECTION 27-156A, COUNCIL DENIES SAID PETITION BASED ON THE RULE THAT THE PETITION DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF SAID CODE. REZONING 19-15, THAT COUNCIL DENY SAID PETITION BASED ON ITS INCONSISTENCY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED. UNDER LAND USE OBJECTIVE 2.1, REGULATING LEVELS OF BUILDING INTENSITY FURTHER THAT RM 18 THAT WAS GRANDFATHERED IN FROM PREVIOUS YEARS IS NOT AVAILABLE. UNDER LAND USE POLICY 2.1.2 THAT LIMITED LAND RESOURCES BE USED MORE EFFICIENTLY AND PURSUE A DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT IS MORE ECONOMICALLY SOUND. UNDER LAND USE OBJECTIVE 9.3, THAT COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT SUSTAIN STABLE NEIGHBORHOODS. REZONING 18-124, THAT COUNCIL DENIES SAID PETITION BASED ON LAND USE POLICY 9.3.8, THAT IT IS THE INTENT OF THE CITY THAT NEW RESIDENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT SHALL MINIMALLY DISRUPTIVE TO ADJACENT AREAS. THIS REZONING HEARING IS A QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING, AND TO APPROVE THE PETITION, YOU MUST FIND COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. I SUBMIT TO YOU THE CURRENT PETITION SHOULD BE DENIED BASED ON THE ABOVE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE PROVIDED HEREIN. COUNCIL HAS SPOKEN IN THE PAST AND SET THE PRECEDENT TO KEEP AND PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOUSING. THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> ANY QUESTIONS? NO. OKAY. >>LYNN HURTAK: NEXT. >> HELLO. I'M BECKY FUSHAY, 3210 WEST SANTIAGO STREET. I'D LIKE TO USE -- >>LYNN HURTAK: THERE YOU GO. >> WE ARE LONG-TERM HOMEOWNERS WHO HAVE RESIDED ON THE STREET MORE THAN 20 YEARS. WE RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT OUR OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED REZONING. OUR LOT REPRESENTS A UNIQUE BALANCE OF HISTORIC 1920 RESIDENCES ALONGSIDE MORE CONTEMPORARY SINGLE-FAMILY AND SOME SMALL MULTIFAMILY HOMES ALL ON 50 BY 100 LOTS. OVER THE PAST TWO DECADES, WE'VE EXPERIENCED STEADY INCREASES IN DENSITY AND A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF MATURE OAK CANOPY THAT ONCE DEFINED OUR STREET. LARGER HOME FOOTPRINTS AND INFILL DEVELOPMENTS REDUCED FOLIAGE AND STRAINED THE VISUAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTER OF THE BLOCK. THE PROPOSED REZONING WOULD FURTHER INTENSIFY THE IMPACTS, CONTINUED INCREASE IN DENSITY ALSO RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS REGARDING SAFETY, LIMITED PARKING AVAILABILITY AND LONG-TERM PROPERTY VALUES FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THE 3200 BLOCK OF WEST SANTIAGO ALREADY CONTAINS 30% MORE FAMILY UNITS THAN THE SURROUNDING BLOCKS, AS EVIDENCE HERE, Ds FOR DUPLEXES, Qs FOR QUADPLEXES. WE HAVE A TRIPLEX DOWN THE STREET FROM US AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE THE DENSITY IS MUCH MORE SO. THE STAR IS THE HOUSE INDICATED OF THIS PETITION. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS ARE ESPECIALLY PRESSING DUE TO THE LIMITED GREENSPACE AND RESTRICTED ACCESS FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES. OUR STREET HAS EXPERIENCED TWO MAJOR STRUCTURAL FIRES IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS. THE FIRST IN 1920s APARTMENT BUILDING RENDERED HALF OF THE BUILDING'S UNITS UNINHABITABLE. IT OCCURRED NEAR THE WEST END OF THE BLOCK, SO FIRE EQUIPMENT WAS ABLE TO REACH THE HOUSE RATHER QUICKLY. FOLLOWING THIS FIRE, THE STREET PARKING WAS FURTHER RESTRICTED WITH NO PARKING ALLOWED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STREET TO AID IN THE ACCESS OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES. A SECOND FIRE WHICH OCCURRED LAST YEAR NEAR THE CENTER OF THE BLOCK DESTROYED A DUPLEX AND ADJACENT SINGLE-FAMILY HOME. FIRE CREWS WERE ONLY ABLE TO EFFICIENTLY ACCESS THE AREA BECAUSE VEHICLES FROM THE PROPERTY OWNERS HAD BEEN TEMPORARILY REMOVED TO -- FROM THE ROADWAY DUE TO HURRICANE-RELATED DEBRIS COLLECTION. UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE CARS PARKED ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STREET, FIRE TRUCKS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACH THE SITE. OUR VOTE TO IS OVER A CENTURY OLD. WE HAVE NO SIDEWALKS. WE HAVE HEAVY PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC. AND MANY OF THE DUPLEXES AND APARTMENTS THAT ONCE SERVED RENTERS NOW SERVE FAMILIES IN THE AREA. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT. >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS IAN. PROPERTY OWNER AND RESIDENT ON WEST SANTIAGO STREET, THREE DOORS DOWN OF THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION. I'M HERE TO VOICE MY OPPOSITION AGAINST THE REZONING FOR REASONS THAT WERE ALREADY OUTLINED BY MY NEIGHBORS. ONE OF THE REASONS IS THE PARKING IS ALREADY VERY, VERY BAD TO START WITH IN OUR HIGH DENSITY AREA. IF YOU COUNT THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPOTS SINCE THE NORTH SIDE THERE IS NO PARKING AT ALL, THERE ARE THREE OFFICIAL PARKING SPOTS THAT FALL WITHIN REGULATION OF THE CITY. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE HIGH DENSITY, THERE ARE OFTEN PARKING VIOLATIONS. OFTEN HAVE TWO PARKED CARS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. THERE'S REGULARLY BLOCKED MY MAILBOX AND OCCASIONALLY BLOCK MY DRIVEWAY. THAT IS AN ANNOYANCE. BY REMOVING A THIRD OF THE PARKING SPOTS BY THE PROPOSED REZONING, THIS WILL ONLY BE WORSE. MOREOVER THIS DIRECTLY TIES INTO THE SAFETY ISSUE AS JUST EXPLAINED BY MY NEIGHBOR. WE ALREADY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRASH COLLECTION EVERY OTHER WEEK, HONK AND WAIT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ILLEGALLY PARKED ON THE OTHER SIDE TO COME THROUGH. I'M AFRAID THAT MORE CARS AND LESS PARKING WILL ONLY MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE, AND THEY'LL HAVE A BIG EFFECT ON THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES IF YOU EVER NEED THESE. LASTLY, I THINK IT REALLY IMPACTS THE CHARACTER OF OUR STREET BY GETTING RID OF MORE AND MORE OF THESE SINGLE UNIT HOUSING. SO THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. GARY PHILIPS. I LIVE NEXT DOOR TO THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY. I'M ON THE SAME SIDE AS HIS. ONE IMPORTANT THING THAT HASN'T BEEN MENTIONED IS THE 12 UNITS ACROSS, THE THREE BUILDINGS. THERE'S FOUR APARTMENTS IN EACH ONE OF THOSE, WHICH LEAVES MOST OR A LOT OF THE FAMILIES HAVE TWO CARS. WELL, THERE'S ONLY 12 SPACES BEHIND THOSE THREE UNITS. SO AT 4:00 TO 5:00, IT'S MAYHEM OUT THERE WHO CAN GET DOWN OUR STREET TO ONE SIDE TO TRY TO PARK BEFORE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A PARKING PLACE. THAT'S BEEN VERY SERIOUS FOR US BECAUSE WE TRY TO BACK OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, AND IT'S ALMOST TERRIBLE. YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT MAKING THE CURVE. IT'S ONLY A 19-FOOT STREET. 20-FOOT IF YOU COUNT THE CURB, BUT NOBODY PARKS ON THE CURB, WITH THE APRON ON EACH SIDE. SO YOU'VE GOT 12 FEET LEFT BETWEEN A CAR AND THE APRON ON THE SIDE WHERE YOU CAN'T PARK. THAT'S WHAT THE SITUATION WAS WITH THAT EMERGENCY VEHICLES THAT CAME DOWN. ALSO, A FEW MORNINGS, THE GARBAGE TRUCK EVEN BLOWS ITS HORN BECAUSE IT CAN'T COME DOWN WITH THE GARBAGE TRUCK TO COLLECT THE GARBAGE AT 5 AND 6:00 IN THE MORNING, WHICH IS TERRIBLE. ALSO WHAT HAPPENED RECENTLY TO EVEN ADD TO THE PROBLEM IS ON THE CORNER, IT COMES TO BAY TO BAY AND THEY OPENED A COFFEE SHOP THERE AND ICE CREAM PARLOR WITH LIMITED PARKING. SO WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING, THEY ARE COMING DOWN OUR STREET LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO PARK. SO THEY ARE PARKING IN FRONT OF THE DRIVEWAYS THINKING WE'RE HERE ONLY TEN MINUTES WHILE WE GET ICE CREAM. THAT'S BEEN A BIG PROBLEM. ALL THESE ADDED TOGETHER REALLY AFFECTS THE SITUATION ON OUR BLOCK. I'VE BEEN THERE 40 SOME YEARS. I'M A TAMPA BOY RAISED RIGHT DOWN THE STREET, LIVED IN THAT HOUSE OVER 40 YEARS. I LOVE IT. I'M EVEN OUT SWEEPING THE STREET. I LOVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I THINK THAT'S ALL I REALLY NEED TO SAY. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND. GOD BLESS YOU. I UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEMS YOU'VE GOT. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? I'M SORRY. THERE IS SOMEONE ONLINE. IS SHE UNMUTED? CAN YOU UNMUTE YOURSELF? >> CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. CAN YOU PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND SO YOU CAN BE SWORN IN. >> DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU ARE ABOUT TO PROVIDE IS THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? >> I DO. >>THE CLERK: THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> HI. I'M COLSON. I LIVE AT 3204 WEST SANTIAGO STREET, WHICH IS JUST DOWN ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE TO THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION. I'VE LIVED HERE SINCE 2008. I HAVE TO REITERATE THE PARKING. THE HOUSE THAT BURNED DOWN BESIDE ME. AND WHEN THE FIRE -- IT WAS PRETTY SCARY BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME WE HAD THE FIRE, THERE WERE PROBLEMS -- THEY WOULDN'T HAVE GOT THROUGH. SECONDLY, I HAVE TWO TOWN HOUSES -- TWO DUPLEXES -- I'M REGULARLY BLOCKED IN. WHEN YOU HAVE TWO OR THREE PEOPLE WITH CARS THERE, THERE'S NEVER ANYWHERE TO PARK. IT'S A BIG DEAL. THE MAIL MAN IS ALWAYS HAVING PROBLEMS. THE TRASH GUYS. YOU HEARD MOST OF WHAT THEY SAID. AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WALKING THAT STREET, WALK EVERY DAY AND ALWAYS CARS COMING DOWN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER WAY, TRYING TO GET AROUND OTHER VEHICLES. THEN YOU ADD THE CONSTRUCTION WITH IT, IT'S JUST REALLY BAD. THIS IDEA -- DUPLEXES AND APARTMENT BUILDINGS ANYWHERE IN THIS AREA NOW WHERE IT NEVER USED TO BE LIKE THIS. ANYWAY, I'M AGAINST THE MOTION TO ALLOW IT. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE ONLINE? WE HAD TWO OTHER -- THEY ARE NOT ON. OKAY. APPLICANT -- ACTUALLY, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR ANYONE FROM COUNCIL? APPLICANT, YOU HAVE A REBUTTAL OF FIVE MINUTES. >> YES. FIRST, TO ADDRESS -- >>LYNN HURTAK: STATE YOUR NAME FIRST. >> MICHAEL SORK. TO ADDRESS THE GENTLEMAN WHO SPOKE ABOUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO DUPLEXES, CURRENTLY ON THE STREET THERE IS A DUPLEX AT THE END. THERE HAS BEEN DEVELOPMENT OF DUPLEXES ON THOSE LOT SIZES OR SMALLER LOT SIZES SINCE THAT TIME. I GUESS LIKE ALL OF US HATE CHANGE, I KNOW I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO THINK I LIKE CHANGE, BUT AGAIN, I DON'T LIKE CHANGE. I BELIEVE IT'S TIME TO CHANGE BECAUSE THERE IS ENOUGH SPACE THERE FROM A DENSITY PERSPECTIVE TO ALLOW FOR A DUPLEX. MOST OF THE PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT PARKING. THERE WILL BE ADEQUATE PARKING FOR THESE TWO UNITS IN FRONT WITH GARAGES AND SPACES, SO IT SHOULD ALLEVIATE PARKING THERE. MY SON AND I DEAL WITH THE PARKING ISSUES, TOO, BECAUSE THEY PARK IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE. WE DO NOT CREATE THE PARKING ISSUES. PARKING ISSUES IS AN ISSUE FOR ALL OF SOUTH TAMPA. IT'S NOT JUST A STREET. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IS A REASON TO NOT APPROVE THIS REQUEST. I GUESS IN SUMMARY, IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT THE STAFF RECOMMENDED, THE PROPOSED ZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA'S CODE OF ORDINANCES. IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENTS. IT'S GOT ADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE. SO I HOPE YOU CAN APPROVE THIS REQUEST. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE? I HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MS. YOUNG, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS? COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG. SORRY. >>NAYA YOUNG: FILE NUMBER REZ-25-123, ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF 3215 WEST SANTIAGO STREET IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA, AND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1, FROM ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION RM 16, RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY, TO RM 18, RESIDENTIAL, MULTIFAMILY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >>LYNN HURTAK: DO WE HAVE A SECOND? OKAY. NO SECOND. ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DENY ITEM NUMBER 9, WHICH IS REZ-25-123 AND THERE ARE VERY SPECIFIC POLICIES HERE AND POINTS THAT WERE MADE IN WHAT WAS PASSED OUT AND WHAT WAS GIVEN TO THE CLERK. LAND USE POLICY 9.5.8, GENERALLY PROVIDES TO MAINTAIN THE CHARACTER OF SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AREAS. I SEE THAT THE APPLICANT HAS FAILED TO DO THAT. I'LL TELL YOU WHY. LET'S SEE HERE. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DUPLEX BUILT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN OVER 38 YEARS OR A REZONING APPROVED IN THIS AREA SINCE 2002. THAT'S WHAT ORIGINALLY CAUGHT MY EYE. ALSO, LAND USE POLICY 9.5.4 GENERALLY PROVIDES TO MAINTAIN THE CURRENT DENSITY AND CHARACTER OF EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY AREAS WHICH BRINGS ME BACK TO THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DUPLEX BUILT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN OVER 38 YEARS, WHICH WOULD MAKE IT 1987. ALSO, RM 16, RS 50 ARE THE PREDOMINANT ZONINGS IN THE AREA AND PROVIDES FOR AND RECOGNIZES THE AREA'S 5,000-SQUARE-FOOT LOTS AND PROHIBITS DUPLEXES. I THINK THAT'S VERY, VERY CLEAR. THE DUPLEXES IN THE AREA WERE BUILT PRIOR TO CHAPTER 27 WHEN THE ZONING CODES ALL CAME INTO PLACE IN THE 1980s. THE CURRENT HOUSE CAN, HOWEVER, BE TORN DOWN AND REPLACED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOUSE. THERE IS APPROPRIATENESS THAT WOULD MATCH THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S NOT PROHIBITING THE DEVELOPER OR THE PROPERTY OWNER, I'M SORRY, FROM DOING ANYTHING ELSE. THEY CAN REPLACE IT WITH A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOUSE, BUT BEING THAT THIS IS A DUPLEX, IT GOES AGAINST ALL OF THIS, AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE IT FOR MY MOTION. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ROLL CALL, PLEASE. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>NAYA YOUNG: YES. >>LUIS VIERA: YES. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. >>THE CLERK: MOTION PASSES TO DENY WITH CLENDENIN BEING ABSENT AT VOTE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ITEM NUMBER 10. MR. SHELBY, SO WE'RE NOT HAVING SIDEBARS, CAN YOU PLEASE REMIND US OF THOSE RULES? >>MARTIN SHELBY: ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER STATE THAT IF YOU ARE THE MAKER OF THE MOTION, BY YOUR ACT OF MAKING THE MOTION, YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO VOTE IN SUPPORT OF IT. IF YOU ARE ASKED TO READ SOMETHING BUT IT IS NOT YOUR INTENT TO SUPPORT IT, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BE THE MAKER OF THE MOTION. IN THIS CASE, WHEN YOU READ THE MOTION, IT DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE WILLING TO SUPPORT IT. BUT THAT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. BUT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, WHEN YOU ARE ASKED TO MAKE A MOTION, IT MEANS YOU ARE ASKED TO COMMIT TO VOTE IN SUPPORT OF IT. >>LYNN HURTAK: AND YOU CAN ALWAYS SAY NO. MS. POPE. >>STEPHANIE POPE: GOOD EVENING. STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 10 IS REZ 25-128, REQUEST TO REZONE 3812 PINEWOOD STREET FROM PD TO PD FOR HOTEL USES. WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT PARCEL OUTLINED IN RED. THIS IS BETWEEN PINEWOOD STREET AND MARCUM STREET. HERE IS SOUTH DALE MABRY. HERE IS INTERBAY BOULEVARD. THE AREA SURROUNDING THE SUBJECT SITE CONTAINS MOSTLY INDUSTRIAL GENERAL USES. WEST OF THE SITE IS RM 24. SOUTH OF THE SITE IS THE CITY OF TAMPA PROPERTY AND THEN FURTHER SOUTH IS WHERE MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE IS. HERE IS THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. I'LL PROVIDE A BRIEF BACKGROUND. THIS APPLICATION HAS A PRIOR PD. REZ 22-33 THAT WAS APPROVED FOR HOTEL USE. THE PRIOR APPROVAL ALLOWED FOR ONE HOTEL ON-SITE. THIS REZONING REQUEST IS FOR THE ADDITION OF A SECOND HOTEL. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO STRUCTURES. EACH SIX STORIES IN HEIGHT. FRONT DOOR ORIENTATION IS TOWARD THE INTERNAL SITE AND SURFACE PARKING, WHICH IS INTERNAL HERE. ACCESS TO THE SITE IS PROPOSED OFF OF PINEWOOD AND WEST MARCUM. THERE ARE INTERNAL PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALKS PROVIDING CONNECTIONS FROM THE HOTELS TO THE PROPOSED SIDEWALKS ALONG PINEWOOD AND MARCUM. BUILDING NUMBER ONE IS PROPOSED TO BE SIX STORIES TALL AND CONTAIN 110 ROOMS AND PROPOSES A POOL TO THE WEST OF THE BUILDING. THIS IS BUILDING NUMBER ONE. THIS IS THE HOTEL APPROVED IN THE PRIOR REZONING. THE PRIOR REZONING WAS APPROVED FOR SIX STORIES, 77,925 SQUARE FEET AND 115 ROOMS. THE CURRENT PD PROPOSES SIX STORIES, 77,925 SQUARE FEET AND 110 ROOMS. BUILDING NUMBER TWO OVER HERE IS PROPOSED TO BE SIX STORIES TALL, 62,223 SQUARE FEET AND CONTAINS 105 ROOMS. NEXT I'LL SHOW THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. THIS IS FOR THE SECOND ONE, THE SECOND BUILDING, BUILDING NUMBER TWO. AND THEN THESE ARE THE ELEVATIONS THAT WERE APPROVED IN THE ORIGINAL PD. FOR BUILDING NUMBER ONE. NOW I'LL SHOW SOME PHOTOS OF THE SITE. HERE IS A PHOTO OF THE SITE. THIS IS ANOTHER PHOTO OF THE SITE. IT'S GOING TO BE A FEW PICTURES, BUT IT'S A KIND OF LARGE SITE. THIS IS ANOTHER PHOTO OF THE SITE. THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE SITE LOOKING WEST. THIS IS AT THE CORNER OF DALE MABRY AND PINEWOOD. THIS IS LOOKING EAST DOWN PINEWOOD. THIS IS AT THE SITE LOOKING WEST AT THAT MULTIFAMILY. THIS IS LOOKING WEST AGAIN AT THE MULTIFAMILY. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH AND THAT WOULD BE TOWARDS MacDILL. THERE IS ANOTHER VIEW OF SOUTH OF THE SITE. THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW NORTH OF THE SITE. THIS IS NORTH OF THE SITE. AND THEN THIS BRINGS YOU BACK AROUND TO WHERE YOU WOULD EXIT BACK OUT NEAR THE ENTRANCE OF MacDILL. DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. YOU CAN SEE THE FINDINGS FROM TRANSPORTATION IN THE STAFF REPORT. THERE ARE FOUR WAIVERS AS PART OF THIS REQUEST. IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE APPLICATION, THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT CHANGE TRANSPORTATION'S FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY. WE DO HAVE A REVISED REVISION SHEET HERE THAT HAS A FUTURE CHANGES TO SOME OF THE WAIVERS AS WELL AS JUST A CHANGE TO THE SETBACKS AND ADDITION TO THE CROSSWALK INTERNAL ADDING SOME CROSSWALKS INTERNALLY. WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO PUT THEM DOWN, HAND THEM IN? >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. ADDITIONALLY, I REQUESTED BEFORE, AGAIN, ANYTHING THAT COMES IN FRONT OF US, PLEASE TELL US WHAT THE WAIVERS ARE. >>STEPHANIE POPE: YES, I CAN READ THOSE TO YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. >>STEPHANIE POPE: I'LL HAND THESE OUT TO YOU NOW. SO THE ORIGINAL WAIVERS THAT WERE REQUESTED PRIOR TO THE REVISED REVISION SHEET, WAIVER NUMBER ONE, SECTION 27,283.7 REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED PARKING SPACES FROM 225 TO 84, WHICH IS A 63% REDUCTION. >>LYNN HURTAK: COULD YOU SAY THAT AGAIN? >>STEPHANIE POPE: YES, MA'AM. THE ENTIRE THING? >>LYNN HURTAK: FROM 225 -- >> TO 84, WHICH IS A 63% REDUCTION. >>LYNN HURTAK: THERE ARE 215 ROOMS? >>STEPHANIE POPE: 215. YES MA'AM. WAIVER 2, SECTION 27-283.14 REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF LOADING BERTHS FROM TWO TO ZERO. WAIVER NUMBER THREE, SECTION 27-284.3.3B REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED USE BUFFER ON THE EAST FROM TEN FEET TO ZERO FEET, ADJACENT TO FOLIO 137,622.0510 AND TO SIX FEET ON THE WEST ABUTTING RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY PARCEL. WAIVER NUMBER FOUR, SECTION 27-284.3.3D REQUEST TO REDUCE REQUIRED PARKING LANDSCAPE ISLANDS FROM 13 FEET TO 9 FEET. AND NOW AS YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU THE REVISED REVISION SHEET. SECTION 27-284.3.3B TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED USE TO USE BUFFER ON THE EAST FROM TEN FEET TO ZERO FEET. ADJACENT TO FOLIO 137,622.0510. >>LYNN HURTAK: IS THAT THE PARK? >>STEPHANIE POPE: YES. SECTION 27-284.3.3D, TO REDUCE REQUIRED LANDSCAPE ISLAND WIDTH FROM 13 FEET TO 9 FEET. SECTION 27-284.3.3D TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED 8-FOOT VUA LANDSCAPE BUFFER FROM 20 FEET ONLY WHERE -- TO ZERO FEET ONLY WHERE THE PROPERTY SPACES ABUT THE PARKING LINE ALONG WEST MARCUM STREET. DID YOU WANT ME TO READ THE REST OF THE REVISIONS? >>LYNN HURTAK: NO, BUT CAN YOU SHOW US VISUALLY WHAT NUMBER FOUR IS? ONLY WHERE THE PARKING SPACES ABUT THE PROPERTY LINE ALONG MARCUM JUST SO I CAN TAKE A QUICK PEEK. >> ERIN MAEHR, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. THAT'S RIGHT HERE. AND THEN THERE WAS A LITTLE CONFUSION AS TO HOW MUCH IS ACTUALLY PROVIDED HERE. JUST TO POINT THAT OUT THERE AS WELL. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. THANK YOU. >>STEPHANIE POPE: AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME. >>LYNN HURTAK: ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? MS. STEELE. >>QUINN STEELE: QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. SITE WITHIN SOUTH TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT. GANDY CIVIC ASSOCIATION NEIGHBORHOOD AND COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA. SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND DESIGNATED LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WHICH SURROUNDS THE SITE TO THE NORTH, EAST AND SOUTH. SUPPORTS GENERAL INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND A RANGE OF COMMERCIAL USES. THE SITE IS ABOUT A QUARTER MILE NORTH OF MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE AND EXISTING APPROVAL UNDER REZ 22-33 ALLOWS A HOTEL OF JUST UNDER 78,000 SQUARE FEET ON THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE SITE. REQUEST AMENDS PD TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL HOTEL RESULTING IN JUST OVER 140,000 SQUARE FEET AT 1.2 F.A.R. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE PROPOSAL AND FOUND IT CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT ANTICIPATED UNDER THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, MULTIFAMILY AND COMMERCIAL USES. HOTEL USES ARE PERMITTED AND PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT SUPPORTING ACTIVITY NEAR THE DALE MABRY CORRIDOR. APPLICANT WILL PROVIDE FIVE FOOT SIDEWALKS ALONG THE ADJACENT RIGHTS-OF-WAY ALONG WITH ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS TO ENHANCE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF IS REQUESTING THAT THE F.A.R. BE CORRECTED TO CLEARLY STATE 1.2 AND INTERNAL CROSSWALKS BE ADDED TO IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY. OVERALL, THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED PD CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? APPLICANT? >> GOOD EVENING. TRUETT GARDNER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. I SEE ONE QUESTION ALREADY WHICH IS INTERESTING COMING FROM YOU. LIKES THE PARKING WAIVERS, BUT I'LL HAVE A -- >>LYNN HURTAK: I DO, BUT IT IS A HOTEL. >> WE ARE HERE ON BEHALF OF BRIAN FUNK. BRIAN FUNK IS A FRIEND. HE GREW UP IN TAMPA, AND HE IS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF BICYCLING AND PARKS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, WHICH IS WHAT MOTIVATED HIM TO THIS SITE. THIS WAS SHOWN BEFORE, BUT I WANTED TO POINT OUT JUST ONE THING, AND THAT'S WHEN YOU LOOK TO THE EAST OF DALE MABRY, YOU CAN SEE A FAINT PATH. THAT IS THE BICYCLE PATH WHICH THEN CONNECTS TO GADSDEN PARK TO THE EAST. WHAT ATTRACTED BRIAN TO THE SITE WAS THE CITY'S PROPERTY, WHICH LEADS TO BOTH PARKING AS WELL AS KIND OF WHAT HIS GRAND PLAN WAS BEFORE. ON THIS SLIDE, THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED REALLY SINCE 2023. WE CAME IN, GOT THE HOTEL APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. THE ONE ON THE WEST. THAT PROVIDED ENOUGH PARKING FOR IT. AND BRIAN AT THAT TIME DID NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT PHASE TWO WOULD BE. IT WAS CONTEMPLATED TO BE AN OFFICE. HILTON IS THE FLAG FOR THE HOTELS. THEY THEN EXPRESSED INTEREST AND SO THAT BECAME THE DESIRE FOR A SECOND HOTEL WHICH THEN PRECIPITATED THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING WHICH IN PART IS WHAT LED US TO THE APPROVAL LAST NOVEMBER WHICH MANY OF YOU MAY RECALL BECAUSE MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE WAS HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH AND BRIAN. WE ENDED UP WITH A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND ALSO LICENSE AGREEMENT TO, ONE, IMPROVE THE PARK AND THE GREENWAY TO REALLY SERVE AS CONNECTOR FOR THIS BIKE PATH WHICH WILL BE HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO DO AND TO MAINTAIN. IN EXCHANGE FOR THAT, HE GOT APPROXIMATELY 65 ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES, WHICH ARE NOT BEING COUNTED OR NOT ALLOWED TO BE COUNTED ON OUR SITE PLAN FOR PARKING, BUT THAT WAS KIND OF THE QUID PRO QUO FOR THAT. AND THERE ARE ADDITIONAL SPACES AS WELL WHICH WILL NOT BE EXCLUSIVE. SO WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE PROVIDING ADEQUATE PARKING AND MS. CLARK WILL HAVE SOME COMMENTS ON THAT AS WELL. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU THAT LANDSCAPE OF HOW THIS IS ALL COMING TOGETHER. JUST SO YOU KNOW, IN CASE THE QUESTION IS ASKED, THE PARK AND THE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDING THE PARKING ARE ALL REQUIRED TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE C.O. OF PHASE ONE. SO CLEARLY IN ADVANCE OF PHASE TWO. SO THAT'S THE OVERVIEW. GLADLY YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THE WAR BETWEEN MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE AND US LAST TIME. WE BROKERED PEACE THEN. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY FINE WITH THIS REQUEST. WE ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, AND HAVE NO OBJECTIONS AT ALL TO THIS SITE. WITH THAT, I'LL LET ADDIE ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE WAIVERS AND SPECIFICALLY ON PARKING AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> ADDIE CLARK, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE SLIDE OF WHAT THESE HOTELS COULD LOOK LIKE. AGAIN, THE MAXIMUM OF SIX STORIES FOR BOTH THE WESTERN HOTEL AND THE EASTERN HOTEL. WE ARE HAPPY TO FIND -- TO HAVE FINDINGS OF CONSISTENCY AMONG STAFF EXCEPT FOR TRANSPORTATION AS MENTIONED DUE TO THAT WAIVER, WHICH WE WILL GET INTO, I PROMISE. AGAIN, WE HAVE THREE NATURAL RESOURCES WAIVERS AND THEN ONE PARKING WAIVER. STARTING WITH THE NATURAL RESOURCES FIRST, WE ARE REQUESTING TO REDUCE THE TEN FOOT USE TO USE BUFFER AS STEPHANIE MENTIONED TO ZERO ON THE EAST AND THAT IS ADJACENT TO THAT CITY GREENWAY PROPERTY. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT RIGHT THERE. WE FELT THAT WAS PRETTY APPROPRIATE GIVEN THAT THE BUILDING IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT. AND THEN THIS WAIVER HERE IS ABOUT THE LANDSCAPE ISLAND. THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON REQUEST THAT I THINK YOU ALL SEE PRETTY OFTEN AS WE BELIEVE THAT A NINE FOOT WIDE LANDSCAPE ISLAND STILL ALLOWS FOR APPROPRIATE AND NICE TREE PLANTINGS WITHIN THOSE LANDSCAPE ISLANDS WHILE ALSO BALANCING THAT ABILITY TO HAVE YOUR SITE CIRCULATION IN THAT PARKING LOT AND THE BREAKING UP OF A PARKING LOT WITH GREENERY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. GOING INTO BUFFERING, OUR REQUEST IS TO REDUCE THAT EIGHT FOOT VUA BUFFER TO ZERO FOOT. THE GREEN ARROWS SHOW EXACTLY WHERE WE'RE PROPOSING THAT TO BE APPLIED. STEPHANIE SHOWED THAT AS WELL. REALLY, THE IMPETUS OF THAT BECAUSE SHOWN IN YELLOW, WE DO HAVE A NEW FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK THAT WILL BE INTERNAL TO THE PROJECT BOUNDARY, AND WE WILL BE PROVIDING AN EASEMENT FOR THAT. SO THERE WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A CONSTRAINT ON SPACE THERE. GOING INTO PARKING FOR, WE ARE REQUESTING A REDUCTION AND PROVIDE PARKING TO ALLOW 84 SPACES ON THIS PROJECT SITE. BUT, AGAIN, TRUETT DID A GREAT JOB AT KIND OF LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PICTURE AS TO HOW THIS WILL OPERATE IN THE FUTURE. THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY, WHICH IS OUTLINED IN RED, DOES HAVE THE EXCLUSIVE USE TO THE PARKING SPACES AND THE PROPERTY TO THE EAST IN THE GREEN. THAT LICENSE AGREEMENT, WHICH WAS SIGNED AND DEEDED NOVEMBER 18, 2024, JUST OVER A YEAR AGO, ALLOWS PINEWOOD, THE OWNER OF THE RED PROPERTY, TO HAVE 24/7 ACCESS TO THOSE PARKING SPACES IN RETURN FOR THING MR. OF THE PARKING AND OF THE GREENWAY PREMISES SHOWN IN GREEN AGAIN. THAT NUMBER, THAT 65 SPACES DOES NOT INCLUDE, AND WE CANNOT COUNT FOR THE 13 ON-STREET SPACES THAT WILL EITHER BE ON PINEWOOD OR MARCUM OR A MIX OF BOTH. AND THOSE 13 SPACES WERE DEFINED AND REQUIRED PER THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT WAS AGREED UPON AND EXECUTED AND RECORDED LAST NOVEMBER. SO WE BELIEVE THAT THE PARKING PROVIDED IS SUFFICIENT AND APPROPRIATE AS THERE WILL BE SOME OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES BETWEEN THE TWO HOTELS, GIVEN THAT EMPLOYEES AND GUESTS MAY BE GOING FROM ONE TO THE OTHER. REGARDING THAT LICENSE AGREEMENT, THE PD PLAN DOES NOT CURRENTLY REFERENCE THAT AGREEMENT. AGAIN, THAT WAIVER CANNOT INCLUDE THOSE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES, BUT WE WOULD BE HAPPY, IF COUNCIL'S DESIRE, TO PUT A NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN REFERRING TO THAT AGREEMENT AND JUST ABOUT THE ABILITY FOR THIS PROPERTY OWNER TO UTILIZE THE PROPERTY IN THE GREEN. BUT AGAIN, THAT WAIVER WOULD BE AS SHOWN HERE IN NUMBER ONE. A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO THE JUSTIFICATION OF THE PARKING, THIS GRAPH SHOWS AGAIN HOW WE'LL OPERATIONALLY USE 149 SPACES. THAT IS THE 84 PLUS THE 65. AND THEN 13 ON STREET SPACES ON TOP OF THAT. AND HOW THAT NUMBER IS ACTUALLY GREATER THAN THE AVERAGE PARKING DEMAND THAT THE INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS IN THEIR NEW PARKING GENERATION MANUAL, THE SIXTH EDITION WHICH JUST CAME OUT, ACTUALLY PUTS FOR A HOTEL. A HOTEL THIS SIZE WITH 215 ROOMS THAT ITE PARKING EDITION SAYS ONLY 130 SPACES ARE REQUIRED. SO WE ARE A LITTLE BIT ABOVE THAT. WITH THAT, WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. >>LYNN HURTAK: ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? PERSONALLY, I THINK HAVING THAT NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN WOULD NOT BE A BAD IDEA. I THINK THAT'S REASONABLE. >> OKAY. WE DO HAVE A DRAFT OF THAT. I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. IF THERE ARE TWEAKS TO THE LANGUAGE WE WOULD BE OPEN TO DISCUSS THAT, BUT WE WANTED TO KIND OF ASSIST WITH A QUICK DRAFT. >>LYNN HURTAK: I DON'T KNOW HOW OTHERS FEEL. I'M COMFORTABLE LEAVING IT BETWEEN YOU AND STAFF BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. >> TRUETT GARDNER. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FINE. I THINK IT DOES PROVIDE THAT ASSURANCE THAT PARKING IS GOING TO BE PROVIDED. >>LYNN HURTAK: THERE IS ANOTHER AGREEMENT, BUT I DON'T THINK IT HURTS AS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING A LOT ABOUT SITE PLANS AND THINGS THAT ARE ON THEM FOR FUTURE COUNCILS. NEVER A BAD IDEA. >> WE ARE 100% AMENABLE TO THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? I RECOGNIZE ALL THESE OTHER FACES SO I'M GUESSING NOT. MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? COUNCILMAN MIRANDA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS ONE? 10.

AND TO THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE WE HAVE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED USES ZONED BOTH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND RS 50. I WILL NOTE THAT ON THE AERIAL, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PROPERTIES SCATTERED THROUGHOUT WITH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT STATUS OR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING. I WOULD NOTE THAT MANY, NOT ALL, BUT MANY OF THE PROPERTIES WITH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING WERE ZONED AS PART OF THE WEST TAMPA REDEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE IN 2005 OR THE WEST TAMPA REDEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE PHASE TWO, WHICH WAS APPROVED IN 2007. WE HAVE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. THE SUBJECT SITE TOTALS 9500 SQUARE FEET IN AREA. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO CONSTRUCT FOUR SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS. EACH UNIT IS PROPOSED WITH NOT ONLY A FRONT PORCH FACING WEST SPRUCE STREET BUT EACH OF THE FRONT DOORS ARE ORIENTED TOWARD WEST SPRUCE STREET. ALL FOUR UNITS WILL HAVE VEHICULAR ACCESS, WILL PROVIDE VEHICULAR ACCESS THROUGH A 14-FOOT ALLEYWAY THAT IS LOCATED IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE. PARCELS A AND D WILL PROVIDE OUTSIDE PARKING FOR VEHICLES. PARCELS B AND C WILL PROVIDE BOTH OUTSIDE BUT ALSO INSIDE PARKING THROUGH THE USE OF GARAGES. THERE IS AN EXISTING SIX FOOT SIDEWALK THAT RUNS EAST TO WEST ALONG WEST SPRUCE STREET. AND THERE IS A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK THAT RUNS NORTH TO SOUTH ALONG NORTH ALBANY AVENUE THAT IS WEST OF PARCEL A. GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE SITE AT 9500 SQUARE FEET, A MAXIMUM OF THREE UNITS IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT OR A TOTAL OF FOUR UNITS IS PERMITTED WITH A BONUS PROVISION AGREEMENT. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A BONUS PROVISION AGREEMENT TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FOUR DETACHED UNITS. NEXT WE HAVE ELEVATIONS. FIRST WE HAVE THE ELEVATIONS PROPOSED FOR PARCELS A AND D. THE SET OF ELEVATIONS HAS A MAX HEIGHT OF 27 FEET -- SORRY, 26 FEET. AND WE HAVE THE FRONT, REAR, AND, OF COURSE, LEFT AND RIGHT ELEVATIONS, EAST AND WEST. NEXT WE HAVE THE ELEVATIONS FOR PARCEL B AND I DO WANT TO CORRECT ONE THING ON THAT LAST PARCEL -- SORRY, LAST ELEVATION I SHOWED FOR PARCELS A AND D, MAX HEIGHT WAS 25. I MISSPOKE ON THAT. THIS PARTICULAR ELEVATION FOR PARCEL B IS A MAX HEIGHT OF 26 FEET. LASTLY, WE HAVE THE ELEVATIONS FOR PARCEL C. THIS HAS A MAX HEIGHT OF 29 FEET. THERE ARE TWO WAIVERS REQUESTED BY THE APPLICANT. I WILL READ THOSE INTO THE RECORD. THE FIRST WAIVER IS TO SECTION 27-283.12, THIS IS A REQUEST TO REDUCE THE BACKUP WIDTH FOR ALLEYWAYS FROM THE REQUIRED 24 FEET TO ALLOW FOR 14 FEET. THE SECOND WAIVER IS TO SECTION 27-241-E-2 C 2 REQUEST TO REDUCE THE SIDE SETBACK FROM FIVE FEET TO FOUR AND ONE HALF FEET FOR PARCELS B AND C. NEXT WE HAVE PHOTOS TO SHOW. THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE FROM WEST SPRUCE STREET. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH. THIS IS THE REAR SIDE OF THE THREE EXISTING STRUCTURES TAKEN FROM THE ALLEYWAY TO THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH. THIS IS LOOKING EAST AT THE SUBJECT SITE, ACROSS NORTH ALBANY, NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE WE SEE A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY. ONE ADDITIONAL LOOK AT THAT CHURCH CLOSE UP. SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE, WE HAVE THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS. EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE LOOKING WEST, THIS IS ACROSS NORTH ALBANY. LOOKING EAST DOWN WEST SPRUCE. LOOKING WEST DOWN WEST SPRUCE. THIS IS A VIEW OF THAT 14-FOOT PLATTED ALLEYWAY. THIS IS LOOKING EAST DOWN THAT ALLEYWAY. LASTLY, WE HAVE A VIEW LOOKING WEST DOWN THE ALLEY IN THE DISTANCE THERE IS NORTH ALBANY. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE PETITION. WE FIND THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT WITH THE APPLICABLE CITY OF TAMPA LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS NOTWITHSTANDING STAFF'S FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY, IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE APPLICATION AND WAIVERS REQUESTED, THE MODIFICATION TO THE SITE PLAN AS SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED REVISION SHEET MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. THESE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES OF TRANSPORTATION'S INCONSISTENT FINDING. AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS BY COUNCIL? YES, MS. STEELE. >>QUINN STEELE: QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. SUBJECT SITE LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT. OLD WEST TAMPA NEIGHBORHOOD AND WEST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE. ALSO WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE D. THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN PURPLE AND DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL 20 WHICH SURROUNDS THE SITE TO THE EAST, SOUTH, WEST WITH R 35 TO THE NORTH OF SPRUCE STREET. THIS PORTION OF WEST SPRUCE STREET IS PRIMARILY DEVELOPED WITH SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES WITH SOME COMMERCIAL USES TO THE WEST AND CHURCH IMMEDIATELY NORTH. PROPOSED REZONING WOULD ALLOW FOUR SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS ON AN UNDERUTILIZED SITE. FOR THE RECORD, ONE SECTION OF OUR STAFF REPORT INCORRECTLY REFERENCED TWO UNITS. HOWEVER, THE REQUEST IS FOR FOUR UNITS. THE PROPOSAL IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE R-20 DESIGNATION. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FOUND IT PROVIDES COMPATIBLE INFILL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN AN URBAN VILLAGE AND NEAR TRANSIT AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES. THE PD INCLUDES SIDEWALKS ALONG WEST SPRUCE STREET AND NORTH ALBANY AVENUE AND PROPOSES ACCESS FROM THE ALLEY. OVERALL PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FINDS THE PROPOSED PD CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? PETITIONER? >>STEVE MICHELINI: I'M NOT SURE HOW TO DISPLAY THESE. YOU DON'T HAVE AN EASEL. I DO HAVE AN -- THE SAME ONES ON OVERLAY. >>LYNN HURTAK: WE HAVE A VOLUNTEER WHO WILL BE A HUMAN EASEL. >>STEVE MICHELINI: STEVE MICHELINI REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER. THEY HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. THESE ARE INDIVIDUAL SINGLE-FAMILY UNITS. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CONCEPTS. THIS IS THE PIPPIT CONCEPT AND THIS -- AGAIN, THEY HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND DETERMINED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. . >> THREE UNITS BY RIGHT, REQUESTING FOURTH UNIT WITH BONUS AGREEMENT. WE ARE IN DISCUSSIONS. THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE FUNDING FOR CRA FOR THIS TWO WEEKS AGO. SO IT WILL BE ASSISTED BY CRA FUNDING. AND IT IS DESIGNED TO BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE ALLEY ISSUE IS THE INCONSISTENCY FINDING BY THE CITY AND COUNCIL, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE OF THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY, WE'RE REQUIRED TO USE THE ALLEY, EVEN THOUGH IT'S REALLY NOT SUFFICIENT SIZE. BUT IF YOU CONSIDER IT TO BE A ONE-WAY ALLEY FOR ACCESS TO THE REAR WHERE THE GARAGES ARE, IT WOULD WORK THAT WAY. THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE. WE SIMPLY ADJUSTED IT SO THAT YOU HAVE THE GARAGES AND THE SURFACE PARKING FOR EACH OF THE UNITS. THERE'S TWO FOR EACH UNIT. WE MEET THE GREENSPACE. WE HAVE THE CRA APPROVAL. THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY STAFF HAS FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT -- I'M SORRY, THE CITY STAFF HAS NOT BECAUSE OF THE INCONSISTENCY WITH TRANSPORTATION. BUT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS FOUND IT TO BE CONSISTENT. SO IT IS AN IDEAL UNIT. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT CONCEPT. THIS IS A NARROWER UNIT THAN YOU ARE USED TO SEEING, SO IT MAKES IT MORE AFFORDABLE. WE'VE HAD THOSE DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU ALL INDIVIDUALLY ABOUT TRYING TO MODIFY THE SIZE OF THE UNITS, NOT GOING TO MINIS, BUT THESE ARE SMALLER UNITS WHICH MAKES THEM MORE AFFORDABLE. THAT'S REALLY THE CONCEPT WE'RE TRYING TO ADVANCE. IF YOU REMEMBER THE PHOTOGRAPHS YOU JUST SAW IN THE WEST TAMPA, THE PHOTOGRAPHS YOU JUST SAW, IT HAD A SHOTGUN STYLE HOME THAT WAS ABOUT THE SAME SIZE. ANYWAY, THE REQUEST SUPPORTS MANY OF THE POLICIES IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND RELATES TO HOUSING POPULATION AND THE NEED. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SUPPORTS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN INTENTION OF SIDEWALKS ALONG SPRUCE AND NORTH ALBANY. SITUATED IN WEST SPRUCE, SURROUNDING AREA IS CHARACTERIZED BY SINGLE-FAMILY -- WE'RE NOT INTRODUCING A NEW CONCEPT. IT IS RAMPANT THROUGHOUT THIS AREA. OVERALL, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES WE MEET THAT. MOBILITY SECTION, WE MEET THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE WIDTH OF THE ALLEY. INFRASTRUCTURE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ADEQUATE SITES FOR ACCOMMODATING HOUSING NEEDS. IN THE CONTEXT, OVERALL, I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU TIME. WE'RE ALL TIRED. ANYWAY, IT MEETS THE CODE. IT DOES WHAT IT IS INTENDED TO DO. IT ENCOURAGES -- PROMOTES EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF PROPERTY, ENCOURAGES FLEXIBLE LAND USE, PROMOTES, ENCOURAGES DEVELOPMENT, PROMOTES MORE DESIRABLE LIVING CONDITIONS, PROMOTES ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES. AS I SAID, VERY ATTRACTIVE DEVELOPMENT. RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL. THE BONUS AGREEMENT WE'LL HAVE TO READ AT THE SECOND READING. IT DOES INCLUDE THAT, AND THERE IS ALSO A PROVISION ON THE SITE PLAN THAT SAYS WE MUST MEET THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DESIGN GUIDELINES. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. MR. MIRANDA OR COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I JUST READ THE OTHER ONE. >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU HAD YOUR LIGHT ON. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'M SORRY. >>LYNN HURTAK: COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAD A BRIEFING ON THIS, AND I LOOKED AT THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, I WANTED TO HATE IT AND SAY NO BECAUSE, AND YOU SHOWED THE PHOTO OF THE THREE HISTORIC HOMES. I THINK THOSE ARE THREE ORIGINAL SHOTGUN HOMES FROM THE EARLY DAYS WITH THE -- CIGAR WORKER HOMES. HOWEVER, NOW THAT I'VE SEEN THE DESIGNS THAT YOU'RE DOING, BEING THAT THIS IS AN HISTORIC AREA, IT IS OLD WEST TAMPA, IT DOES COMPLEMENT THE AREA. AND LOOKING AT THE CONDITION OF THOSE HOMES, YOU CAN TELL THAT -- I MEAN, I HAVEN'T BEEN INSIDE, I DON'T KNOW, BUT THEY ARE BOARDED UP. THEY ARE MADE OF WOOD, THEY MUST BE BECAUSE USUALLY THEY ARE. THEY ARE FALLING APART INSIDE AND THEY ARE NOT SALVAGEABLE. BUT YOU'RE REPLACING IT WITH SOMETHING THAT I THINK COMPLEMENTS THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IS VERY GOOD. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THREE BY RIGHT AND THREE HOMES THERE NOW. BUT THOSE THREE HOMES HAVE PRETTY ADEQUATE SPACE IN BETWEEN. SO INTRODUCING THAT FOURTH ONE, BEING THAT THESE ARE OF SMALLER SCALE I THINK WOULD GO WELL TOGETHER ON THIS SITE AND COMPLEMENT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BECAUSE THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE, THERE ARE A LOT OF FEATURES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO WHAT'S AROUND IT SO I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT. I'M SURPRISED, PLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT IT'S -- >>STEVE MICHELINI: TO MAKE YOU FEEL A LITTLE BETTER, THE DEMOLITION AND THE REMOVAL OF THOSE UNITS HAS BEEN REVIEWED ALREADY BY THE CITY HISTORIC PRESERVATION FOLKS. WE HAVE AN ENGINEERING REPORT INDICATING THAT THE DETERIORATION HAD EXCEEDED WHAT COULD BE RESTORED REASONABLY. AND WE HAVE APPROVAL TO REMOVE THOSE UNITS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YEAH, NO, NO. I UNDERSTAND. >>STEVE MICHELINI: I WANTED TO PUT IT ON THE RECORD. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THAT PUTS ME MORE EASE IN EVERYTHING THAT I SAID. NO, I LIKE THE DESIGNS. AGAIN, IT'S AN AREA -- I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS A CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET ORIGINALLY OR IF IT WAS A CIGAR FACTORY AT ONE POINT AND CONVERTED TO A CHURCH. BUT KNOWING HOW THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS AND HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE, THIS IS COMPLEMENTARY TO IT. I'M GOOD. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANYONE ELSE? I LOVE THESE. I DON'T JUST LOVE THEM. I LOVE THEM. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I PARTICULARLY LIKE ABOUT THIS IS THAT YOU BROUGHT THE FACADE AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT. YOU HEARD US EARLIER TONIGHT. IT'S VERY CLEAR WHAT THESE ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE. WE APPRECIATE THAT. I APPRECIATE THAT. I PARTICULARLY LOVE THAT THESE ARE SMALLER, THAT THESE ARE NARROWER, THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THEM, EVEN BEFORE I KNEW THAT THIS WAS PART OF CITY OF TAMPA, THE CRA PROJECT THAT WE GAVE MONEY TO THIS PROJECT, I JUST REALLY LIKE THESE. AND THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF THAT WE HAD SOMEONE SPEAK IN PUBLIC COMMENT THIS MORNING AT THE CRA SAYING THIS IS WHAT WE NEED IN EAST TAMPA. I DON'T DISAGREE. THIS IS THE NARROWER LOTS, THE ABILITY TO BUILD SOME OF THESE NARROWER STRUCTURES SO THAT THEY CAN BE AFFORDABLE. I JUST REALLY WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE THAT THERE IS A LARGER DEVELOPER COMING IN TO SHOW THIS SO THAT HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET MORE OF THESE THROUGHOUT THE CITY. >>STEVE MICHELINI: I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE CERTAINLY BASED ON THE EARLIER DISCUSSIONS, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE BETTER DRAWINGS REGARDING DESIGN AND THE COMMITMENTS, OBVIOUSLY, THAT THE WEST TAMPA OR WHATEVER THE OVERLAYS ARE. >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST HAVE ONE BURNING QUESTION. WHAT IS AN AVOCET? >>STEVE MICHELINI: I DIDN'T NAME IT. >>LYNN HURTAK: IT'S A BIRD. OKAY. IS THAT THE BIRD ON TOP? >>STEVE MICHELINI: I'M NOT SURE I KNOW WHAT A PIPETT IS EITHER. >>LYNN HURTAK: I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IS A BIRD. SO RANDOM BIRDS. GOOD TO KNOW. >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. GIVEN COUNCIL'S FONDNESS FOR THESE PARTICULAR ELEVATIONS, I WANTED TO SUGGEST US WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT TO ADD SOME LANGUAGE TO THE SITE PLANS TO REFERENCE THESE TWO SPECIFIC ELEVATIONS. I BELIEVE -- ONLY THE TOP ONE. OKAY. AVOCET AND PIPETTE. IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED, WE CAN WORK WITH THEM ON ADDING LANGUAGE TO THE SITE PLANS TO REFLECT THESE AND HAVE THESE APPROVED OR CONSIDERED FOR APPROVAL AT SECOND READING. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT. I WOULD SAY, YES, LET'S ADD A NOTE TO THE SITE PLAN ABOUT THOSE PARTICULAR ELEVATIONS. OKAY. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? I HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE BY COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS ONE?

I TALKED TO A FEW PEOPLE AND THERE ARE PEOPLE FROM LIKE ALL OVER. THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN I MET WHO CAME ALL THE WAY FROM DETROIT, AND THERE ARE PEOPLE FROM LITERALLY ALL OVER. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RAINING, THERE WERE PEOPLE STILL OUT THERE. I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY COOL. I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE SO MANY TYPES OF CIGARS. I KNOW THE HISTORY AROUND CIGARS, ESPECIALLY IN YBOR, SO IT WAS VERY COOL TO SEE THAT. I GOT REALLY DELICIOUS LEMONADE. IT WAS VERY NICE.

AND WE HAVE THAT COMING UP ON THE AGENDA IN JANUARY. BUT THE SECOND THING THAT HAPPENED, AS I GOT CLOSE TO DOWNTOWN, THERE WERE SIRENS EVERYWHERE. AND THEN THERE WAS A SHERIFF'S DEPUTY SEPARATING EVERYBODY. I WAS A BLOCK FROM HERE AND COULDN'T GO STRAIGHT. WAS NOT ALLOWED TO GO STRAIGHT BUT EVERYBODY WAS SUPPOSED TO SWITCH AND THEN SUDDENLY THREE BUSES WENT BY. I THOUGHT SOME CATASTROPHE HAPPENED DOWNTOWN. WE HEARD SEVERAL DIFFERENT SIRENS LATER. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ASK STAFF TO PRESENT ON FEBRUARY 5 AS TO THE PEOPLE AND REASONS ELIGIBLE FOR POLICE ESCORT AND A DISCUSSION ABOUT BETTER MANAGING IT. >>LYNN HURTAK: YEAH, THAT IS A REALLY GOOD POINT BECAUSE ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO IS FORMER MILITARY AND FORMER DEA JUST SAYS THAT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY WRONG. HE COMPLAINS ABOUT IT EVERY SINGLE TIME IT HAPPENS AND JUST SAYS HE CAN'T BELIEVE WE ALLOW THAT. >>BILL CARLSON: WE ALREADY HAVE CONGESTION DOWNTOWN BUT THAT WAS AN UNSAFE SITUATION.
