>>ALAN CLENDENIN: GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE. WE'VE HAD A LONG DAY. SO WE JUST CONCLUDED WITH OUR DAY MEETING JUST A LITTLE A WHILE AGO AND HAD -- INHALED SOME CHINESE FOOD BEFORE WE GOT HERE TONIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE IN WAITING FOR US. WE HAVE SOME SPECIAL GUESTS IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT. WE CAN DO A ROLL CALL, FIRST. DO YOU WANT TO DO ROLL CALL FIRST? LET'S DO A ROLL CALL. >>THE CLERK: MIRANDA? MANISCALCO? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HERE. >>LYNN HURTAK: HERE. >>NAYA YOUNG: HERE. >> VIERA? CARLSON? >>BILL CARLSON: HERE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HERE. >>THE CLERK: WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AS YOU CAN TELL, WE ARE DOWN TWO COUNCILPERSONS THIS EVENING. COUNCILMAN MIRANDA AND COUNCILMAN VIERA ARE OUT. PREARRANGED ABSENCES. APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET TONIGHT. ANYWAY, BACK WHERE I WAS, WE HAVE SOME VERY SPECIAL GUESTS THIS EVENING. THOSE OF YOU WEARING CROWNS AND THOSE OF YOU ACCOMPANYING THE ONES WEARING CROWNS, WOULD YOU PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM. STAND UP AND COME FORWARD. WHO IS GOING TO TALK AND TELL US WHO YOU ARE AND WHY YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT? GO AHEAD. START WITH YOUR NAME. >> MY NAME IS MIKAELA GRACE. WE ARE MISS, JUNIOR MISS AND NATIONAL JUNETEENTH AMBASSADORS. WE CAME TO SAY A QUICK SPEECH AND CONGRATULATE NAYA AS COUNCILWOMAN. [ APPLAUSE ] >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DID YOU SAY YOU HAD SOMETHING ELSE TO SAY? >> YES, I HAVE A SPEECH. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PLEASE GO. >> GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. MY NAME IS MIKAELA GRACE. I PROUDLY SERVE AS YOUR MS. JUNETEENTH TAMPA BAY 25-26. THIS AFTERNOON, MY NATIONAL JUNETEENTH AMBASSADOR SISTERS AND MY JUNETEENTH QUEEN SISTERS ACCOMPANIED ME, AND WE WOULD HAVE MORE REPRESENTATION, BUT SOME OF US HAD TO ATTEND OUR CONFERENCE NIGHT, AND THEY COULDN'T ATTEND. WE HAVE JOINED HERE TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE A NEW CHAPTER OF LEADERSHIP. ONE THAT REFLECTS THE PROMISE OF PROGRESS AND THE POWER OF PURPOSE. WE'RE HERE TO HONOR COUNCILWOMAN NAYA YOUNG, A YOUNG WOMAN WHO GIVES HOPE BACK TO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. SHE DIDN'T JUST RUN ON POLICIES, SHE RAN ON PRINCIPLES. SHE DIDN'T JUST SEEK A POSITION. SHE SOUGHT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. AND HER PLATFORM, EVERY CHILD DESERVES A SIDEWALK TO WALK ON TO SCHOOL. AFFORDABLE HOUSING ISN'T A PRIVILEGE. IT'S A RIGHT. PARKS SHOULD BE OPEN, SAFE, AND FULL OF LAUGHTER. SUMMER JOBS ARE PATHWAYS FOR THE YOUTH. COUNCILWOMAN NAYA YOUNG HAS HER EYES ON THE FUTURE AND THAT FUTURE WEARS BACKPACKS AND WALKS TO SCHOOL EACH MORNING. SHE SPOKE FOR CHILDREN WHOSE VOICES ARE OFTEN UNHEARD, FOR PARENTS BALANCING RENT AND GROCERIES, FOR GRANDPARENTS RAISING GRANDCHILDREN ON FIXED INCOMES AND FOR COMMUNITIES TOO LONG OVERLOOKED. THIS VICTORY REPRESENTS MORE THAN ONE YOUNG WOMAN'S WINNING SEAT. IT REPRESENTS A GENERATION FINDING ITS WAY. SHE SHOWS US THAT LEADERSHIP ISN'T ABOUT AGE. IT'S ABOUT ALIGNMENT WITH PURPOSE. HER WIN REMINDS US THAT WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY CAN LEAD AND WHEN A COMMUNITY BELIEVES ENOUGH TO STAND BEHIND THEM, TRANSFORMATION BEGINS. COUNCILWOMAN WILL FAN THAT SPARK INTO A STEADY FLAME. AS YOU TAKE YOUR SEAT, REMEMBER, YOU CARRY ON THE HE MUST DROO OF THE CHILDREN, THE -- DREAMS OF CHILDREN, THE HOPES OF PARENTS AND THAT YOUR COMMUNITY WILL WALK BESIDE YOU, PRAY WITH YOU TO BUILD A BRIGHTER CITY YOU ENVISIONED. THIS EVENING, WE DON'T JUST SAY CONGRATULATIONS. WE SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR DARING TO RUN. THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING THAT CHANGE BEGINS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING FAITH FIRST, CHILDREN FIRST AND COMMUNITY FIRST. COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG, YOUR JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN. MAY GOD BLESS YOU, MAY GOD BLESS OUR CITY, AND MAY GOD BLESS THE GENERATIONS YOU'RE HELPING TO RISE. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU. [ APPLAUSE ] >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG. >>NAYA YOUNG: I HAVE BEEN DOING REALLY GOOD WITH NOT CRYING. MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS, YOU'LL LEARN THAT THE CHILDREN ARE MY SOFT SPOT. YOU ALL GOT SOME TEARS OUT OF ME THIS EVENING. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT WAS SO ELOQUENTLY AND BEAUTIFULLY PUT. ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I RAN WAS BECAUSE OF YOUTH. I WANT YOU ALL TO BE ABLE TO SEE ALL THE AMAZING THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO. SO I HEARD SOME OF YOU OUT THERE SAY SOME OF THE DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS THAT YOU HAVE, AND I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL REALLY DO THOSE THINGS. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING IT COME TO FRUITION BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE THE FUTURE AND THE REASON WHY WE ARE UP HERE. AND WE ARE TRYING TO DO THE BEST WE CAN IS BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE GOING TO BE HERE AND HOPEFULLY CARRY THOSE THINGS ON. I AM SO HONORED AND HUMBLED TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU ALL WERE COMING, BUT THIS IS THE BEST SURPRISE EVER. I AM JUST SO ELATED. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHY DON'T YOU GUYS COME UP AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG. >>NAYA YOUNG: WE TOOK OUR PICTURES ALREADY. COME TAKE ONE WITH THE COUNCIL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'M JUST UPSET THEY DIDN'T BRING ME A TIARA. >> GREAT JOB, YOU GUYS. [ APPLAUSE ] >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PLANNING COMMISSION, I BELIEVE YOU'LL START WITH THE CLEARING OF THE AGENDA. I HEARD THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS GOING TO DO THE FIRST ONE. >>DANNY COLLINS: GOOD EVENING. DANNY COLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. TODAY I'M GOING TO -- WE HAVE AN E-MAIL FROM THE APPLICANT REGARDING ITEM 2 ON THE AGENDA. FILE TA/CPA 24-11. THEY ARE REQUESTING A CONTINUANCE TO THE JANUARY 15, 2026 PUBLIC HEARING. THIS IS THE FIFTH CONTINUANCE. THIS WOULD BE THE FIFTH CONTINUANCE GRANTED ON THIS ITEM. SO I WANTED TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION. I'M AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: FIVE TIMES? I MEAN, THIS IS -- WHY SO MANY CONTINUANCES? I'VE BEEN HERE TEN YEARS AND I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN FIVE CONTINUANCES ON ANY ITEM. >>DANNY COLLINS: I THINK THAT IS A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANYBODY HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF? COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF. REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS, WE NEED TO CREATE A POLICY AROUND CONTINUANCES FOR COMP PLANS. IS THAT SOMETHING WE WOULD DO WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION OR SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO JUST WITH OUR STAFF? >>DANNY COLLINS: WE DID RECENTLY UPDATE THE PROCEDURES MANUAL FOR PLAN AMENDMENTS. SO THERE IS A RULE IN THERE THAT COUNCIL NEEDS TO MAKE A DECISION ON AN ITEM WITHIN 180 DAYS FOLLOWING THE PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING. SINCE THIS PLAN AMENDMENT WAS SUBMITTED BEFORE THAT WAS ADOPTED, IT'S SUBJECT TO THE PROCEDURES OF ALL PROCEDURES MANUAL WHICH DI DOESN'T HAVE A RULE. >>LYNN HURTAK: WE DO HAVE AN UPDATED SO THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. >> YES. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. >> TRUETT GARDNER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT. IF YOU WOULD, I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN THE REASON FOR THE CONTINUANCE. THIS IS A TOUGH, COMPLICATED APPLICATION. WE'VE GOT A VACATING, A REZONING, A COMP PLAN AMENDMENT. WE'RE IN THE ARC, SO WE'VE BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH THREE DIFFERENT HEARINGS IN FRONT OF THE ARC. AND A BONUS AGREEMENT AS WELL. WHAT WE HAVE PROMISED WE'VE BEEN VERY TRANSPARENT WITH EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND EVERY NEIGHBOR THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH. THE SLIDE THAT I PUT UP ON THE ELMO IS WHAT WE HAVE LITERALLY SHOWN PEOPLE FROM THE BEGINNING, WHICH, IF YOU WILL, THE STACK HERE IS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, THE PARK D AND THE ALLEY. AND OUR PROMISE TO EVERYBODY THAT WE'VE WORKED WITH ON THIS IS WE DON'T WANT THE COMP PLAN TO PROCEED WITHOUT THE REZONING BEING MARRIED TO IT BECAUSE THIS GIVES US THE RIGHT, ONE, TO ASK FOR THE HOTEL USE THAT WE'RE REQUESTING. TWO, THE DENSITY THAT WE'RE REQUESTING. THEY FELT LIKE IN ALL THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAD, THEY WOULD BE GRANTING US A BLANK CHECK WITHOUT THE SECURITY OF THE PD AND THE CONDITIONS WITHIN THE PD. OUR PLEDGE TO THEM FROM THE BEGINNING WAS WE WILL RUN THESE TOGETHER. SO, YES, WOULD HE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOR CONTINUANCE ON THE COMP PLAN, BUT THAT'S ALL TO GET THESE HEARINGS TO MATCH UP. WE WERE ACTUALLY READY TO PROCEED TONIGHT WITH ALL OF OUR APPLICATIONS BUT WE HEARD AFTER WE SUBMITTED OUR FINAL SITE PLAN THAT SOLID WASTE WANTED US TO REDESIGN THE WHOLE AREA THERE THAT CAUSED US TO DO THAT. JANUARY 15 IS OUR ONLY OPTION BECAUSE WE STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN THEIR FINAL APPROVAL AND WE'RE PAST THE DEADLINE TO BE IN DECEMBER. SO THAT THEN PROMPTED JANUARY. THAT THREW US INTO A CONTRACTUAL SITUATION WHERE WE HAD TO MAKE AMENDMENTS. BUT THE SOONEST THAT WE CAN GET ALL OF THOSE TIED TOGETHER IS THIS JANUARY 15 DATE. WE WOULD LOVE TO BE PROCEEDING TONIGHT WITH ALL OF THEM, BUT SOLID WASTE MADE THAT REQUEST, AND THAT'S CAUSED THIS CONTINUANCE REQUEST. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. SHELBY, CAN YOU REMIND COUNCIL WHAT THE RULES ARE FOR APPLICANT'S REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE, WITHOUT A FULL COUNCIL. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT APPLIES TO QUASI-JUDICIAL. I HAVE RULE 6-C. DO YOU WANT TO HEAR THAT NOW? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE CAN WAIT. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I'M CONFUSED BECAUSE YOU SAID YOU WANTED THE COMP PLAN TO GO WITH THE REZONING, BUT HERE'S THE THING, A COMP PLAN IS A FOREVER CHANGE. A PD DOESN'T HAVE TO GET BUILT. TO ME, THAT IS NOT A GOOD REASON TO PUT THEM TOGETHER AND ACTUALLY WHY I PERSONALLY DO NOT LIKE TO HEAR THINGS ON THE SAME NIGHT. A COMP PLAN IS SOMETHING THAT IS NEVER GOING TO CHANGE. A PD, JUST BECAUSE WE APPROVE IT, DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE EVER GOING TO BUILD IT. YOU COULD SELL THE LAND AND THEY COULD BUILD SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I DON'T LIKE TO HEAR THE WORD GUARANTEE, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE. I WANT THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THAT. >> ABSOLUTELY RESPECT THAT. MARY LOU BAILEY IS WHO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH IN HYDE PARK, AND WE'VE WORKED WITH HER IN THE PAST. SHE LIKES THOSE CONDITIONS AND THE SECURITY THAT COMES WITH IT, ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THAT CAN ALWAYS BE AMENDED OR NOT EVEN BE BUILT. BUT FROM THE BEGINNING, SHE AND OTHERS DIDN'T FEEL IT WAS RIGHT TO DO THE COMP PLAN FIRST, OPEN UP PANDORA'S BOX WITHOUT THOSE CONTROLS THAT WOULD COME WITH THAT PD, FULLY ACKNOWLEDGING IT COULD BE AMENDED OR NOT BUILT AT ALL. >>BILL CARLSON: FIRST OF ALL, WE'VE HAD ARGUMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHETHER THESE THINGS SHOULD GO TOGETHER ANYWAY. I THINK THIS IS TOO MANY TIMES. WHEN WE'RE READY TO MAKE MOTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION TO DENY IT. >> I WOULD JUST ADD, THIS IS OUR FIRST CONTINUANCE REQUEST ON THE REZONING AND THE VACATING. IT'S ONLY BEEN -- >>MARTIN SHELBY: I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THAT. WE'RE NOT DISCUSSING THE REZONING. CLEAR FOR COUNCIL, YOU'RE ONLY DISCUSSING THE TA/CPA 24-11, THE FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENT. >> IF THAT'S GOING TO BE THE SITUATION HERE, I WOULD SAY WITH FIVE COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE DO HAVE PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS RIGHTS AND WE WOULD LIKE A FULL COUNCIL. SO THAT WASN'T THE REASON GOING IN, BUT WE WOULD LIKE A FULL COUNCIL. THE FIRST DATE THAT WE CAN BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH OUR REZONING AS WELL AS WITH THIS IS THAT JANUARY 15 DATE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. SHELBY, NOW I'M READY TO HEAR. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WITH REGARD TO TA/CPA. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: READY TO HEAR YOUR RULING ON AN APPLICANT'S RIGHTS FOR A CONTINUANCE WITH LESS THAN A FULL COUNCIL. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WELL, LET ME SHARE WITH YOU WITH REGARD TO A QUASI-JUDICIAL MATTER, WHICH IS GOING TO BE COMING UP, WHAT WOULD APPLY. I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THERE IS A DISTINCTION. IT DOESN'T SAY AS TO A LEGISLATIVE MATTER. LET ME START AT THE BEGINNING, THEN. RULE 4A, FOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS SHALL CONSTITUTE A QUORUM, FOUR VOTES SHALL BE REQUIRED TO EFFECT OFFICIAL ACTION ON ALL MATTERS COMING BEFORE COUNCIL, EXCEPT WHEN STATE LAW REQUIRES A SUPERMAJORITY. THE AYES AND NAYS SHALL BE TAKEN UPON THE PASSAGE OF ALL ORDINANCES OR RESOLUTIONS. THEN WE GO TO THE QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING SECTION, RULE 6 BECAUSE THIS APPLIES IN QUASI-JUDICIAL CASES. I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A DISTINCTION, THAT IT DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING WITH REGARD TO LEGISLATIVE MATTERS. IF AT A QUASI-JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARING, ONLY FOUR MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL ARE AVAILABLE TO TAKE ACTION, THEN ANY PETITIONER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE THE MATTER UNTIL THERE ARE A MINIMUM OF FIVE MEMBERS. IF THERE IS LESS THAN A FULL COUNCIL, THEN A PETITIONER MAY REQUEST TO CONTINUE A MATTER, BUT IT WILL NOT BE AS A MATTER OF RIGHT. >> THE PETITIONER MAY REQUEST. >>BILL CARLSON: WHAT HE'S SAYING IS EVEN ON THOSE, WE ONLY HAVE TO GUARANTEE FIVE, AND WE HAVE FIVE. SO IT'S MOOT ANYWAY. WHAT ABOUT PUBLIC COMMENT AS TO THE CONTINUANCE? CAN WE MAKE MOTIONS NOW? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE'LL ACCEPT PUBLIC COMMENT. -- [INAUDIBLE] >>BILL CARLSON: ONLY TO THE CONTINUANCE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF THAT IS COUNCIL'S PLEASURE. ANYTHING ELSE, MR. GARDNER? >> NO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IS IT COUNCIL'S PLEASURE TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE CONTINUANCE? IF YOU ARE HERE AND WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE CONTINUANCE ONLY, NOT THE SUBSTANCE OF THE ISSUE, BUT ONLY ON THE CONTINUANCE OF THIS ITEM, PLEASE STAND AGAINST THE WALL AND I'LL CALL YOU UP ONE AT A TIME. >>MARTIN SHELBY: ACTUALLY, WE SHOULD MAKE A MOTION -- MAKE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR THIS EVENING ENTIRELY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: EVEN THOUGH WE ARE JUST CLEARING THE AGENDA. >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CAN I GET A MOTION TO OPEN ALL PUBLIC HEARINGS? MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. ALL IN FAVOR, AYE. OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN, BEFORE PEOPLE BEGIN, I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND TO CITY COUNCIL, BECAUSE COUNCIL HAS BEEN RECEIVING E-MAILS AND THERE IS A LOT OF CONFUSION AS TO THE THREE DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS THAT ARE PENDING ON THE SAME PARTICULAR PARCEL. THOSE THREE DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS HAVE DIFFERENT CRITERIA UNDER THE CODE AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT DUE PROCESS RIGHTS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT TOO MUCH IT. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE CONTINUANCE FOR THIS ITEM IS THAT THIS IS THE PLAN AMENDMENT, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, AND THAT IS A LEGISLATIVE MATTER. IT IS NOT QUASI-JUDICIAL. MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO -- MAYBE, MR. GARDNER, MAY I ASK HIM TO BE CALLED BACK UP BEFORE GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YES. MR. GARDNER. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I BELIEVE YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH COUNCIL'S RULES WITH REGARD TO CONTINUANCES FIRST CONTINUANCES. YOU HAD SAID THAT FIRST CONTINUANCES ON THE AGENDA APPLY TO THE REZONING, THE REZ CASE AND THE VAC CASE, THE VACATE. >> CORRECT. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WITH REGARD TO REZONING, AS I RECALL CORRECTLY, YOU SUBMITTED AN E-MAIL ON THE 31st OF OCTOBER -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE'RE NOT -- >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WANT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR FOR THE PUBLIC, AS PER COUNCIL'S RULES, AS A MATTER OF RIGHT, I SUSPECT YOU'RE GOING TO BE SAYING THAT COUNCIL WILL CONTINUE THE REZ, THE REZONING. IS THAT YOUR INTENTION? >> CORRECT. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WANT THE PUBLIC TO BE AWARE OF THAT AS WELL. BECAUSE UNDER COUNCIL'S RULES, THEY WOULD BE ENTITLED FOR THE REZONING TO GO FORWARD -- EXCUSE ME, TO BE CONTINUED AS A MATTER OF RIGHT. DO WE HAVE AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING? WHAT I'M SAYING TO THE PUBLIC, PLEASE, YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON THE COUNCIL -- COUNCIL IS REQUESTING THAT YOU SPEAK TO THE CONTINUANCE, WHETHER YOU ARE OPPOSED OR WHETHER YOU ARE IN FAVOR OF IT AS TO ONLY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT. >> NOT THE REZONING. WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THAT PART OF THE CLEARING OF THE AGENDA, BUT THAT PART OF THE AGENDA, IT WILL BE CLEARED AND THE REZONING WILL NOT BE HEARD TONIGHT. THIS IS ONLY ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND. >>BILL CARLSON: YOU KIND OF SAID THIS AND MARTY KIND OF SAID THIS, BUT FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW, IF YOU START TO COMMENT ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE CONTINUANCE, THE CHAIR IS GOING TO CUT YOU OFF TO KEEP THE LEGAL RECORD CORRECT. IT'S NOT ANYTHING PERSONAL, BUT WE CAN'T OPEN UP ALL THE OTHER DISCUSSIONS RIGHT NOW. IT'S JUST ABOUT THE CONTINUANCE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: VERY GOOD. I THINK WE'VE HAD ENOUGH HOUSEKEEPING. PLEASE, START WITH YOUR NAME AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> MICHELLE BALD LERO. I'M HERE AS A MEMBER OF THE HISTORIC HYDE PARK ART GALLERY. WHEN WE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A CONTINUANCE ASKED FOR AND IT WAS PRESENTED TO US AS IT WAS KIND OF A DONE DEAL EVEN THOUGH YOU SHOULDN'T BELIEVE THAT, MANY OF OUR MEMBERS DIDN'T COME. MANY PEOPLE FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD DIDN'T COME BECAUSE WE ANTICIPATED REALLY STAFFING A HOUSE. MY REQUEST IS, IF THIS MATTER IS GOING TO BE CONTINUED, CAN IT BE PUT ON A DATE OTHER THAN JANUARY 26, WHICH WE UNDERSTAND IS -- OR THE JANUARY DATE, WHETHER ANOTHER CONTENTIOUS MATTER. I'VE BEEN HERE UNTIL 3 IN THE MORNING BEFORE. I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE. CAN WE BE PUT ON A HEARING WHERE WE WILL BE THE NUMBER ONE ITEM AND IT WON'T BE WITH SOMETHING ELSE? THAT'S MY COMMENT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. START WITH YOUR NAME. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> MY NAME IS JOE HANLON. MY ADDRESS IS 701 AND A HALF WEST SWANN. I LIVE AT THE CORNER OF SWANN AND BREVARD WHERE MY WIFE AND I HAVE LIVED THERE FOR 12 YEARS. WE'RE OPPOSED TO THIS PROJECT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: REMEMBER, THIS IS ONLY ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND -- >> I THINK I UNDERSTAND THAT FOR CONTINUANCE, BUT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND AMENDMENT IS GOING TO BE A PART OF THE ZONING AND PART OF THE PROGRESS OF THIS PROJECT. >> IT'S ONLY ABOUT THE LAND USAGE, NOT ABOUT THE PROJECT ITSELF. >> THEY ARE GOING TO, RIGHT NOW IT IS ZONED FOR 71 UNITS, CORRECT? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THERE'S NOT IN THE RECORD. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WICK DISCUSS THAT SIR. WE CAN'T DISCUSS THAT, SIR. >> I WANT TO GO ON RECORD FOR OPPOSING THIS PROJECT AND ASKING THE COUNCIL TO RECOGNIZE THE COMMITMENTS OF THE THREE PLANNING STAFFS THAT HAVE REJECTED THIS PROPOSAL. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE ONLY THING YOU CAN TALK ABOUT, SIR, IS WHETHER YOU ARE IN FAVOR OF HAVING IT CONTINUED OR WHETHER YOU ARE OPPOSED TO HAVING IT CONTINUED. THAT IS THE ONLY DISCUSSION WE'RE PERMITTED TO HAVE. >> I OPPOSE THE CONTINUANCE IN GENERAL TRYING TO OPPOSE THIS PROJECT. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, SIR. NEXT SPEAKER. >> GOOD EVENING, AND CONGRATULATIONS COUNCILMAN YOUNG. APPRECIATE YOU BEING THERE. SORRY THE OTHER TWO AREN'T HERE. BOBBY O'BRYAN. BOBBY O'BRYAN, 702 WEST BAY STREET TAMPA 33606 WITHIN YARDS OF THIS PROPERTY. I WAS AGAINST THE CONTINUANCE, SENT AN E-MAIL AS SUCH ON MONDAY UNTIL I LEARNED FURTHER. I'M GOING TO HAVE MY LAW DEGREE BY THE END OF ALL OF THIS. I AM FOR THE CONTINUANCE NOW FOR A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT REASONS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, AS MY COLLEAGUE POINTED OUT, MANY OF OUR EXPERT WITNESSES DECIDED NOT TO COME BECAUSE OF RECEIVING THE CONTINUANCE, FEELING THAT IT WAS A FAIT ACCOMPLI AND HAVE BETTER TIME, I'LL SAVE THAT UNTIL JANUARY. I SECOND HER MOTION JANUARY 15 IS WHEN I UNDERSTAND THE DAVIS ISLAND MIRASOL HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED, TO HAVE THAT ONE AND HAVE THIS PROPOSED HOTEL ON THE SAME DOCKET WOULD BE A LONG, LONG EVENING THAT'S UNFAIR TO YOU ALL AND CERTAINLY TO RESIDENTS AND EVEN TO THE DEVELOPERS. I AM FOR THE CONTINUANCE, BUT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE SCENARIOS HAVE COME OUT. I DIDN'T HEAR THE FINAL RESOLVE, BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE CITY'S RULES ARE NOW WHEN IT COMES TO CONTINUANCES FOR COMP PLANS. LASTLY, I'M WITH THE SPANISH TOWN CREEK CIVIC ASSOCIATION. WE REPRESENT THAT COMMUNITY AND PIECE OF PROPERTY WHERE THEY WANT TO PUT THIS HOTEL, NOT OTHERS IN HPPI AND EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT BE NEGOTIATING WITH SOMEONE WHO IS MORE FRIENDLY THAT IS DISINGENUOUS AT BEST, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE RIGHT NEXT TO THAT PROPERTY ARE MORE DESERVING TO BE NEGOTIATED WITH. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, START WITH YOUR NAME PLEASE. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> KATHLEEN DUR DON, 1820 WEST RICHARDSON PLACE. ALSO PRESIDENT OF TAMPA REGIONAL ARTIST, 705 WEST SWANN AVENUE IN THE BLOCK IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY. I WANT TO ECHO EVERYBODY ELSE. WE HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WERE PLANNING ON COMING TONIGHT, BUT WHEN WE HEARD THAT THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE, WE TOLD THEM THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO COME. SO I WOULD BE FOR THE CONTINUANCE BUT DEFINITELY AGAINST THE JANUARY 15 DATE. THE IDEA OF HAVING THIS AND THE MARISOL HEARD ON THE SAME NIGHT, WHICH THE SAME ATTORNEY HAS BOTH PROPERTIES, IS REALLY A DISSERVICE TO YOU AND A DISSERVICE TO ALL THE RESIDENTS. I REALLY ALSO WANT TO ECHO, WE ARE IN SPANISH TOWN CREEK. THE PROPERTY IS IN SPANISH TOWN CREEK. TALKING TO ONE PERSON OR ONE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, WHICH IS NOT A PART OF THAT IN SAYING THAT THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT OF THIS WHOLE IDEA OF EVERYTHING GOING LICKETY-SPLIT TOGETHER, NONE OF THE REST OF US ARE IN FAVOR OF THAT. WE ALL BELIEVE THAT THE COMP PLAN NEEDS TO BE HEARD, ECHOING COUNCIL -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS ONLY THE CONTINUANCE REMEMBER. >> RIGHT. OKAY. BUT, THANK YOU. [ LAUGHTER ] >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, START WITH YOUR NAME. >> NAME JOE HAFNER. 417 SOUTH HYDE PARK. JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM WHAT TWO OTHER SPEAKERS SAID. CURRENTLY THE MARISOL PROJECT SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 15. IF YOU CONTINUE THIS ONE, COULD YOU LOOK AT FEBRUARY BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO GO BACK TO BACK ON THESE TWO PROJECTS. I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO BE HERE UNTIL 3 IN THE MORNING. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER, START WITH YOUR NAME PLEASE. >> MY NAME IS PAM CANNELLA. I BACK UP WHAT THEY ALL SAID. MAKE IT CLEAR, MARY LOU BAILEY IS ONE PERSON IN ONE ASSOCIATION OF HYDE PARK. THERE ARE THREE. SHE DOESN'T REPRESENT EVERYONE IN THAT AREA OF HYDE PARK. HPPI. SHE REPRESENTS A SMALL, ELITE GROUP. THIS CONFUSION WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF SHE DIDN'T TAKE IT UPON HERSELF TO THINK SHE IS SPEAKING FOR ALL OF US. HPPNA HAVE NOT HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF CONFERENCE WITH THE APPLICANT AND NEITHER HAS SPANISH CREEK. THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES. I SUGGEST THAT HE GO BACK AND SPEAK TO ALL OF THE HYDE PARK ASSOCIATION MEMBERS. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? THAT CLOSES THE PUBLIC COMMENT. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF. ANYBODY DOING THE SCHEDULING FOR THIS FOR JANUARY? IS THE OTHER PROJECT THEY REFERRED TO, HAS THAT BEEN SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 15? >> THAT MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR CITY STAFF. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANYBODY THAT HAS THAT INFORMATION? >> IT'S TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED. STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BUT IS IT SCHEDULED? >>STEPHANIE POPE: IT'S NOT SCHEDULED. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WOULD THIS FACTOR IN -- DO YOU GUYS FACTOR INTO YOUR PLANNING -- IF THIS GETS SCHEDULED ON JANUARY 15, THE FACT THIS TYPE OF PROJECT IS ON THE SAME SCHEDULE, DO YOU FACTOR THAT INTO YOUR SCHEDULING? >>STEPHANIE POPE: YES, WE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IF THIS WAS CHANGED, THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST PROJECT TO GET SCHEDULED ON THE 15th. >>STEPHANIE POPE: WE WOULD TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: VERY GOOD. >>BILL CARLSON: CAN WE PUT IT IN FEBRUARY? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE. >>BILL CARLSON: SHE DIDN'T SAY DEFINITIVELY SHE WOULDN'T PUT THE OTHER ONE ON. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT WOULDN'T BE OUR CALL. >>MARTIN SHELBY: QUESTION TO COUNCIL. THEY ARE CHATTING. >>STEPHANIE POPE: STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. IT APPEARS THAT MARISOL IS GOING TO BE SCHEDULED. IT'S NOT ON THE SCHEDULE, BUT WE HAVE NOT SET THOSE CASES YET. >>LYNN HURTAK: COULD WE SCHEDULE THIS FOR FEBRUARY 12? >>STEPHANIE POPE: STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. YOU WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION IN ORDER FOR THESE TO BE HEARD. FIRST. SHELL COULD YOU REPEAT WHAT. >>MARTIN SHELBY: COULD YOU REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID? I BELIEVE IN THE PAST YOU'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT REGARDING SCHEDULING. YOU AS A COUNCIL HAVE REQUESTED OR REQUIRED, I DON'T RECALL WHICH THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: APPLICANT, PLEASE. ARE YOU REPRESENTING THE OTHER APPLICATION THAT THEY ARE REFERRING TO? >> TRUETT GARDNER, MY FIRM IS, LAW PARTNER TYLER HUDSON IS REPRESENTING THE MARISOL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ARE YOU ABLE TO SPEAK TO THAT, IF WE SPLIT THIS BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT DATES, WHICH WOULD GO WHERE? >> I DON'T WANT TO RUN HIM AFOUL. I DO THINK WE'VE GOT THE MORE CONTRACTUAL DEADLINES. OURS IS JUST UNDER CONTRACT. IF IT'S YOUR PLEASURE, WE RENEGOTIATED THE CONTRACT TO MIRROR THE JANUARY 15. I WOULD BE TAKING A RISK ON CAN WE EXTEND THAT OUT AGAIN TO CORRESPOND WITH I BELIEVE FEBRUARY 22 -- 12, EXCUSE ME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SUSAN JOHNSON VELEZ. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH MS. DOCK. WHAT SHE WANTED ME TO MAKE SURE COUNCIL UNDERSTOOD WAS THAT IF CASES ARE READY TO BE SET FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON A PARTICULAR DATE, WHICH THE MARISOL IS READY TO BE SET. IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THE SCHEDULE TO BE -- THE FULL AGENDA, BUT IT IS ON TRACK TO BE SCHEDULED FOR THAT JANUARY 15 DATE. SO THEY REALLY DON'T TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN SETTING CASES FOR A PARTICULAR NIGHT WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS ANOTHER COMPLEX CASE. IF THE CASES ARE READY, THEN THEY WILL BE SET. SO THERE IS A POSSIBILITY IF YOU CONTINUE THIS, THAT THE MARISOL WILL STILL BE ON THAT JANUARY 15 AGENDA. JUST IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF THINGS. >>BILL CARLSON: I SAID A FEW MINUTES AGO THAT I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO DENY THE CONTINUANCE, BUT IF THE APPLICANT -- YOU MAY HAVE THE VOTES WITHOUT ME. BUT IF THE APPLICANT WOULD ACCEPT FEBRUARY 12, I WOULD CHANGE MY VOTE TO YES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: APPLICANT IS THAT ALL RIGHT WITH YOU? >> I THINK THAT'S FINE. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, LAST TIME YOU ASKED US TO RENOTICE, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THAT AGAIN, TOO. >>LYNN HURTAK: YEAH, THAT WOULD BE MY REQUEST, NOT RENOTICING ONE BUT ALL THREE. >> SURE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CAN I GET A MOTION TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM TO FEBRUARY 12, 2026. >>LYNN HURTAK: I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO DO THAT WITH THE RENOTIFICATION OF ALL THREE ITEMS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK -- >>LYNN HURTAK: SORRY, CAN'T DO THAT. WE'RE ONLY DOING THE COMP PLAN. I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE THIS TILL FEBRUARY 12 WITH THE ADDITION OF ALSO RENOTICING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK ON THE CONTINUANCE OF THE COMP PLAN TO FEBRUARY 12, 2026 WITH NOTIFICATION. SUSAN JOHNSON VELEZ. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: PERHAPS CHRISTOPHER CAN SPEAK TO THIS. APPARENTLY ONLY TWO SLOTS OPEN ON THE FEBRUARY AGENDA UNLESS COUNCIL WANTS TO WAIVE THE LIMITATION ON THE NUMBER OF ITEMS PLACED ON THE AGENDA. >>LYNN HURTAK: ONE IS A COMP PLAN. >> THERE'S ONE MORE CASE SEEKING A CONTINUANCE. THAT WOULD MOVE TO FEBRUARY 12. I JUST WANT TO MAKE COUNCIL AWAY SO YOU HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION AS YOU MAKE YOUR MOTION. >>LYNN HURTAK: MS. JOHNSON-VELEZ, I UNDERSTAND IT'S SET, BUT IS THERE A REASON WE COULDN'T SAY THE MARISOL IS GOING TO BE IN FEBRUARY? BECAUSE THAT'S ONE SLOT VERSUS THE THREE SLOTS WE NEED IN JANUARY. >>BILL CARLSON: WHY DO WE HAVE THE ONE LATER TONIGHT, WHY DO WE HAVE TO PUT IT ON FEBRUARY 12? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: LET'S STAY FOCUSED WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. COUNCIL DOESN'T GENERALLY SCHEDULE UNTIL WE PLACE THINGS, BUT THAT IS A LEGITIMATE QUESTION FOR STAFF. I DON'T KNOW IF SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ -- >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: I CAN TRY TO FIND OUT. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY. THE ISSUE ULTIMATELY IS, AS COUNCIL KNOWS, SOMETHING CAN BE SET ON THE AGENDA. IT COULD BE A BIG ITEM. IF IT FALLS OFF THE AGENDA, THEN WHAT YOU WILL HAVE IS YOU'LL CONTINUE TO ANOTHER DATE. THIS CASE -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DID YOU UNDERSTAND THE POINT COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK JUST SAID. THIS IS THREE ITEMS VERSUS ONE ITEM. SO WE MOVE ONE AND PUT THREE ON THE JANUARY AND MOVE THE ONE TO FEBRUARY TO BALANCE OUT THE PACKED FEBRUARY SCHEDULE, WHICH SCHEDULING-WISE, THAT MAKES SENSE. IF THE MARISOL GOES TO FEBRUARY, THESE CASES GO TO JANUARY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE MARISOL, IF IT IS CONTINUED, DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN IT WILL GO TO FEBRUARY IF IT HAS TO BE CONTINUED. I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. >>LYNN HURTAK: THE MARISOL HASN'T BEEN SET YET. WE CAN SET IT FOR FEBRUARY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF, IN FACT, YOU MOVE THIS TO JANUARY AND DECIDE THAT THE -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHY DON'T WE HOLD OFF. SUSAN IS GOING TO LOOK FOR AN ANSWER. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YET. >>BILL CARLSON: WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND ON THE FLOOR. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WOULD LIKE TO WITHDRAW MY MOTION AND INSTEAD REMOVE ITEM 14 BECAUSE IT'S BEEN MISNOTICED. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAVE A MOTION TO REMOVE ITEM 14 FROM THE AGENDA. WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED? I'LL SECOND COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO'S MOTION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO, SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK TO WITHDRAW ITEM NUMBER 13 FROM THE AGENDA. >>MARTIN SHELBY: JUST FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE AUDIENCE WHO IS WATCHING, THESE MAY BE INTERESTED IN WHAT HAPPENED TO NUMBER 1 AND 13, MENTION THE -- 14 AND 13. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FILE REZ 25-100. IT IS MISNOTICED. IT WILL NOT BE HEARD AND THE COUNCIL HAS REMOVED IT FROM THE AGENDA. ITEM 13, WE NOW HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND TO WITHDRAW IT FROM THE AGENDA BECAUSE REZ 25-56 BECAUSE THERE WAS A REQUEST TO WITHDRAW IT FROM THE AGENDA. WE HAVE A MOTION. WE HAVE A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT. ITEM 13 AND 14 ARE BOTH WITHDRAWN FROM THE AGENDA. >>MARTIN SHELBY: ONE IS REMOVED. THERE IS A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO. A LEGAL DISTINCTION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: LEGAL DEPARTMENT. JUST IN TALKING THROUGH IT WITH MS.

ITEM 1. >>McLANE EVANS: AGENDA ITEM 1 IS THE FIRST OF TWO SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARINGS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL FOR A PROPOSED BROWNFIELD DESIGNATION OF A PROPERTY CONSISTING OF TWO PARCELS LOCATED IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF 1921 NORTH 53rd STREET AND 1810 NORTH 57th STREET. BROADWAY HOLDINGS LLC IS REQUESTING DESIGNATION OF THESE PROPERTIES AS A BROWNFIELD AREA TO ASSIST IN THE ASSESSMENT OF REMEDIATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS THAT MAY EXIST ON THE PROPERTY. DETAILS OF THE DESIGNATION HAVE BEEN OUTLINED IN A DOCUMENT ENTITLED STAFF REPORT, BROADWAY HOLDINGS PROPOSED BROWNFIELD AREA DESIGNATION WHICH IS VISIBLE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW BOTH AT THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND IN OnBase. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FLORIDA BROWNFIELD ACT REQUIREMENTS FOR PRIVATELY INITIATED BROWNFIELD DESIGNATIONS APPLICANTS HELD A PUBLIC MEETING ON NOVEMBER 3, 2025, AT THE HILTON GARDEN INN TAMPA, YBOR HISTORIC DISTRICT. APPLICANT PUBLISHED NOTICE OF THE MEETING IN ETHNIC NEWSPAPER AND NEWSPAPER OF GENERAL CIRCULATION. ADDITIONALLY, THE MEETING TIME AND LOCATION WERE ANNOUNCED BY CITY COUNCIL DURING OCTOBER 16 EVENING MEETING. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 4th, 2025, AT 10:30 A.M. OR AS SOON THEREAFTER AS POSSIBLE, COUNCIL WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PASS A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING BROADWAY HOLDINGS BROWNFIELD AREA. STAFF AND I AND THE APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE JOSH COLDIRON ARE PRESENT IF YOU WOULD LIKE US TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ITEM NUMBER 1?

OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE REST OF THE PUBLIC HEARINGS -- SHE DID IT. >> ITEM NUMBER 1, SECOND PUBLIC HEARING TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 4, 2025 AT 10:30 A.M., LOCATED AT OLD CITY HALL AT 315 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA FLORIDA 33602. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. FOR THE REST OF THE PUBLIC HEARINGS THIS EVENING, THEY ARE QUASI-JUDICIAL. THEY REQUIRE YOU TO BE SWORN IN. IF YOU ARE HERE AND GOING TO SPEAK TO ANY ITEMS ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT, PLEASE STAND, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND BE SWORN IN BY THE CLERK. [OATH ADMINISTERED] THANK YOU. WE ARE ZIPPING ALONG TO ITEM NUMBER 4. >>CHRISTOPHER DEMANCHE: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. AGENDA ITEM 4 IS REZ 25-45. THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE 302 NORTH OREGON AVENUE, SUITE A AND B FROM IG INDUSTRIAL GENERAL TO RM 24, RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY. WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AND OUTLINED IN RED. LOCATED IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF WEST NORTH B STREET AND NORTH OREGON AVENUE. THE SITE HAS -- IS SURROUNDED BY A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL USES ALONG WITH SOME INDUSTRIAL USES. THERE IS RS 50 TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH. AND WE HAVE INDUSTRIAL GENERAL ZONING TO THE EAST AND TO THE WEST. THE SITE IS ALSO LOCATED IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY AND DEVELOPMENT MUST COMPLY WITH THOSE OVERLAY STANDARDS AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING. THE SUBJECT SITE IS UNDEVELOPED. WE DO HAVE A SURVEY. SUBJECT PROPERTY IS OUTLINED IN GREEN. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 52 FEET OF FRONTAGE ALONG WEST NORTH B STREET AND 113 FEET OF FRONTAGE ALONG NORTH OREGON AVENUE. THE RM 24 DISTRICT REQUIRES MINIMUM LOT AREA OF 5,000 SQUARE FEET WITH A MINIMUM LOT FRONTAGE OF 50 FEET. GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE SUBJECT SITE, TOTAL OF THREE UNITS CAN BE DEVELOPED. REQUESTED USE OF RM 24 ZONING IS APPROPRIATE IN THIS LOCATION AND PROVIDES AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITION, GIVEN THE MIX OF INDUSTRIAL GENERAL AND RS 50 ZONING IN THE AREA. SINCE THIS IS EUCLIDEAN, THERE'S NO SITE PLAN OR ELEVATIONS, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME PHOTOS TO SHOW. IS THAT GOOD FOR YOU? THIS IS A PHOTO SHOWING THE SUBJECT SITE. THIS IS LOOKING NORTH FROM NORTH B STREET. THIS IS ON THE SUBJECT SITE LOOKING NORTH AT THE RESIDENTIAL, RS 50 ZONING TO THE NORTH. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ACROSS NORTH B STREET. THIS IS FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY LOOKING SOUTH. EAST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. THE PROPERTY IS ZONED IG. WEST OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THE SITE IS DEVELOPED WITH A COMMUNICATIONS TOWER AND THEN FURTHER WEST OF THAT LOT IS A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNIT. NEXT WE HAVE THE VIEW LOOKING NORTH ON NORTH OREGON, LOOKING SOUTH ON NORTH OREGON. THIS IS LOOKING WEST ON NORTH B STREET. AND LOOKING EAST ON NORTH B STREET. DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION COMPLIANCE STAFF HAS REVIEWED THIS APPLICATION. WE FIND THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, AND I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE. HERE SHE COMES. DAZZLE US. >> EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THE SITE IS WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, THE NORTH HYDE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD. THE WEST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE IN EVACUATION ZONE C. THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED HERE IS REPRESENTED WITH THE GENERAL MIXED USE 24 DESIGNATION WHICH DOES ALLOW FOR A BROAD RANGE OF USES INCLUDING RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL USES AND 24 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE OR 1.5 F.A.R. THE GMU-24 DESIGNATION IS TO THE EAST, THE SOUTH, AND THE WEST OF THE SUBJECT SITE. TO THE NORTH IN THE PINK COLOR IS THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 DESIGNATION, AND TO THE NORTH, WEST, AND THE SOUTHWEST IN THE BROWN IS THE RESIDENTIAL 20 DESIGNATION. THE REQUEST SUPPORTS MANY POLICIES RELATED TO HOUSING THE CITY'S POPULATION WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND ENSURES AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING IS AVAILABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF TAMPA'S PRESENT AND FUTURE POPULATIONS. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALSO DIRECTS THE GREATEST SHARE OF GROWTH TOWARDS URBAN VILLAGES. THE SUBJECT SITE IS THE LAST REMAINING PARCEL WITHIN INDUSTRIAL ZONING DESIGNATION ON THIS BLOCK BETWEEN NORTH OREGON AVENUE, WEST FIG STREET, WEST NORTH B STREET, AND NORTH ROME AVENUE. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOGNIZES THAT THE GENERAL MIXED USE 24 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION WAS DESIGNATED IN AREAS WITH NO CLEAR IDENTIFIABLE DEVELOPMENT TREND, AND THAT OVER TIME THESE AREAS WILL TRANSITION TO DEVELOPMENT THAT IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. REZONING THE PARCEL TO ALLOW RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL GOAL OF PROVIDING INCREASED HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES AND A COMPATIBLE ZONING DISTRICT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AS PART OF THE SITE DESIGN, THE APPLICANT SHOULD ENSURE THAT MULTIFAMILY AND SINGLE-FAMILY -- DEVELOPMENT IS PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY WITH FRONT DOORS ORIENTED TOWARD NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALKS AND STREETS. IN CONCLUSION, THE PROPOSED RM 24 ZONING DISTRICT WOULD ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT THAT IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING USES AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER THE GENERAL MIXED USE 24 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE, APPLICANT. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS PHILLIP. I AM AN ARCHITECT AND AGENT FOR RICHARD HUEL ROBINSON, THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. SO WE ARE REQUESTING THE REZONING. OBVIOUSLY, FROM IG TO RM 24 TO ALLOW FOR SMALL-SCALE, MULTIFAMILY. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS REZONING ALLOWS THE ADAPTIVE REUSE FOR THE UNDERUTILIZED INDUSTRIAL PARCEL CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING IG ZONED PROPERTIES, WHICH ARE -- THERE ARE FEWER OF NOW AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS DEVELOPING. BOTH THE FAMILY RESIDENTS APPEARS COMPARABLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA WITH AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE AREA. IT'S BEING REDEVELOPED NOW WITH MORE HOUSING. SO OUR INTENT IS TO FOLLOW THROUGH, REDEVELOP IT WITH FOLLOWING THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY DISTRICT, WHICH I THINK IS ACTUALLY HELPFUL IN THE SENSE THAT IT IS COMMUNITY ORIENTED AND TO FIT INTO THAT COMMUNITY WITH ENTRYWAYS ON THE STREET, INTRODUCING THAT WHOLE VIBRANCY OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT REALLY IS BEING REJUVENATED RIGHT NOW. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. MORE? >> NO. WE JUST BELIEVE THAT THE REZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH HOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS DEVELOPING AND IT WOULD BE A BENEFIT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THE PHOTOS WERE UNREMARKABLE. THEY ARE JUST BOXES. I KNOW WE HAVE NO SWAY IN THIS. BUT PROVIDING SOME ACTUAL CHARACTER TO HOUSING, USING THAT OVERLAY WOULD BE A HUNDRED PERCENT WHAT THAT COMMUNITY NEEDS. >> YEAH, I AGREE. AS AN ARCHITECT, I AGREE. I'M A LITTLE CRITICAL OF SOME OF THOSE AREAS AROUND THERE WITH NO PORCHES, WITH NO INTRODUCTION OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE PEDESTRIANS AND THE RESIDENTS. ULTIMATELY, IT'S GOING TO BE -- RICHARD IS GOING TO BE REDEVELOPING IT. I'LL WORK WITH RICHARD AND ADVISE HIM IN THAT DIRECTION, BUT I WOULD AGREE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK YOU HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. [ LAUGHTER ] VERY GOOD. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? HEARING NONE. MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT. DO WE HAVE THIS LOADED UP. NEVER MIND. FIRST HEARING. >>BILL CARLSON: MOVE FILE REZ 25-45, ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF 302 NORTH OREGON AVENUE, SUITE A AND B, IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA AND MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1 FROM ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION IG, INDUSTRIAL GENERAL TO RM 24, RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION BY COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND SECOND FROM -- [ LAUGHTER ] WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY. CLERK. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON DECEMBER THE 4th, 2025 AT 10 A.M. AT OLD CITY HALL, LOCATED AT 315 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA FLORIDA 33602. >>LYNN HURTAK: DID YOU SAY DECEMBER 24? >>THE CLERK: DECEMBER 4. >>BILL CARLSON: YOU GUYS ATE TOO MUCH CHINESE FOOD. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YEAH. WHAT DID THEY LACE THAT WITH? NUMBER 6. >>STEPHANIE POPE: GOOD EVENING. STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. AGENDA ITEM 6 IS REZ 25-89, REQUEST TO REZONE 2012 LINSEY STREET FROM RM 16 TO PD, RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED USES. WE'LL START WITH AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED HERE. THIS IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF LINSEY STREET. AND EAST OF SOUTH 20th, WEST OF SOUTH 22nd STREET. THE AREA SURROUNDING THE SUBJECT SITE CONTAINS MOSTLY RESIDENTIAL USES. ONE BLOCK NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE ON HARPER IS A PROPERTY REZONED IN 2009 TO RM 18, WHICH YOU CAN SEE HERE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PD REZONINGS SOUTH OF THE SITE NEAR GORDON STREET. THE SUBJECT SITE HAS A FUTURE LAND USE OF TU 24, WHICH ALLOWS FOR DEVELOPMENT UP TO A 1.5 F.A.R. AND UP TO 24 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. GIVEN THE SIZE OF THE SUBJECT PARCEL, MAXIMUM OF TWO UNITS CAN BE DEVELOPED ON-SITE. DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED FOR TWO UNITS, WHICH IS WITHIN THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY. NEXT I'LL SHOW THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES THE CONSTRUCTION OF TWO STRUCTURES, EACH THREE STORIES, 2,375 SQUARE FEET. FRONT DOOR ORIENTATION IS TO THE SIDE FOR EACH UNIT. ACCESS TO THE SITE IS PROPOSED OFF OF LINSEY, WHICH IS UP HERE. EACH UNIT CONTAINS A ONE-CAR GARAGE AND COVERED PORCH IN THE REAR. THE REAR YARD SETBACK ALLOWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF TREE LOCATED ON THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE. HERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS. THIS ONE IS THE EAST, NORTH, WEST, AND SOUTH ELEVATION. YOU CAN SEE THE GARAGE THERE. NEXT I'LL SHOW SOME PHOTOS. THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE ON LINSEY. THIS IS EAST OF THE SITE, WEST OF THE SITE. THIS IS WEST ACROSS 20th STREET, SOUTHWEST OF THE SITE. THIS IS SOUTH OF THE SITE. HERE IS ANOTHER PHOTO SOUTH OF THE SITE, AND THIS IS SOUTHEAST OF THE SITE. DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION AND COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND FIND THE REQUEST TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. THERE ARE TWO WAIVERS AS PART OF THIS REQUEST. IF CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THE APPLICATION, THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE SITE PLAN, AS SHOWN ON THE REVISED -- ON THE REVISION SHEET MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. I'LL TURN IT OVER TO PLANNING COMMISSION. >> EMILY PHELAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THE SITE IS WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT. PALMETTO BEACH NEIGHBORHOOD. THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND EVACUATION ZONE A. THE SUBJECT SITE LOCATED HERE IS REPRESENTED WITH A TRANSITIONAL USE 24 DESIGNATION, WHICH DOES SURROUND THE SUBJECT SITE. MOVING FURTHER EAST TOWARDS SOUTH 22nd STREET IS A COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 DESIGNATION AND MOVING WEST IN THE DARK GRAY IS THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION. SINCE THE TRANSITIONAL USE 24 DESIGNATION ALLOWS A WIDE RANGE OF USES, THERE IS A POTENTIAL OF CREATING A DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT DOES NOT ADEQUATELY MITIGATE FOR INTENSE USES ALLOWED UNDER THIS CATEGORY. SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED RESIDENTIAL USES CAN BE CONSIDERED WITHIN THE TRANSITIONAL USE 24 DESIGNATION, AND AS THERE ARE ALREADY RESIDENTIALLY DEVELOPED PROPERTIES ALONG LINSEY STREET BETWEEN SOUTH 20th STREET AND SOUTH 22nd STREET, THEY HAVE AN AVERAGE EXISTING DENSITY OF 10.39 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. THE PROPOSED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PROPOSES 16.66 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THE TRANSITIONAL USE 24 DESIGNATION. THIS REQUEST WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES IN PROXIMITY TO COMMERCIAL SERVICES AND AMENITIES, SITUATED ALONG SOUTH 22nd STREET. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAD DETERMINED THAT THE PROPOSED PD IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SPEAKS TO THE DESIGN OF ATTACHED SINGLE-FAMILY UNITS BY ENCOURAGING THE DESIGN TO INCLUDE THE ORIENTATION OF THE FRONT DOOR TO A NEIGHBORHOOD SIDEWALK AND STREET. PROPOSED DESIGN ORIENTS THE ENTRANCES TO THE SIDEWALK, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH LAND USE POLICY 9.2.6, AND PROMOTES A PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOGNIZES THE ROLE OF ALLEYS AND SUPPORTS VEHICULAR ACCESS WHERE FEASIBLE. THE SITE IS NOT UTILIZING THE ALLEY DUE TO AN F.D.O.T. OBJECTION. TO ITS USE. THE REQUEST WOULD PROVIDE HOUSING ON AN UNDERUTILIZED LAND AND TO ENSURE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF HOUSING IS AVAILABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE CURRENT AND FUTURE POPULATION. THE PROPOSED REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL POLICY DIRECTION IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ANTICIPATED UNDER THE TRANSITIONAL USE 24 DESIGNATION. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY QUESTIONS? APPLICANT? >> GOOD EVENING, R RALPH SCHULE, 2401 NORTH HOWARD AVENUE. I HAVE BEEN SWORN. STRAIGHTFORWARD PROJECT. YOU HEARD FROM BOTH STAFF AND WE'VE DONE SIMILAR PROJECTS HERE, PREVIOUSLY ON GORDON STREET. WE'VE DONE A NUMBER OF PROJECTS AND, OF COURSE, D.O.T. OBJECTED US USING ALLEYS. THEREFORE THIS PROJECT DOESN'T UTILIZE UNIMPROVED ALLEY. WE HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH OTHER OPTIONS IN OTHER -- ON GORDON STREET MAINLY BECAUSE WE OWNED MOST OF THE PROPERTY. HERE WE DO NOT. WE HAVE ONLY ONE SINGLE PIECE OF PROPERTY. PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. MOVING FROM A VACANT LOT TO A SINGLE-FAMILY SEMI DETACHED AKA A DUPLEX, WHICH UTILIZES, OF COURSE, IT IS IN A FLOOD ZONE. THE NEW PROPERTY HAS TO MEET FLOOD ZONE REQUIREMENTS. THE FIRST FLOOR IS BASICALLY STORAGE, GARAGE, AND THEN TWO LIVING LEVELS ABOVE WITH SOME PORCHES FACING THE FRONT. OBVIOUSLY, DIFFICULT TO GET FRONT ACCESS OR FRONT-DOOR ACCESS ON A SMALL LOT WITH THOSE KIND OF RESTRAINTS. SO WE'VE DONE THE BEST WE COULD. AGAIN, HAVE TWO UNITS. SEEN THE SITE PLAN PREVIOUSLY. ONLY WAIVERS WE HAVE ARE THE SIDE YARD BUFFERS WHICH, OF COURSE, BECAUSE WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE ENTRANCES, WE CAN'T PLANT HERE AND HERE. TECHNICALLY -- WE HAVE A SEVEN AFTERWARD SETBACK. THIS IS A SIDEWALK. WE HAVE REQUESTS FROM A SEVEN YARD SETBACK AND A FIVE YARD BUFFER, WHICH IS USE-TO-USE BUFFER BETWEEN MULTIFAMILY PROJECT AND A SINGLE-FAMILY PROJECT. THEN, AGAIN, ALLOWING THE FRONT ENTRANCES ON THE SIDE VERSUS THE FRONT. THE FRONT SETBACK -- THE FRONT ELEVATION, WHICH IS THE SOUTH ELEVATION, LOOKS LIKE THIS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A COVERED PORCH HERE AND OPEN PORCH ABOVE. PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD DESIGN. BUT, OBVIOUSLY, PALMETTO BEACH IS REDEVELOPING. I THINK IT'S STILL GOING TO BE A GOOD PROJECT FOR PALMETTO BEACH. WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S GOING ALONG AND PALMETTO BEACH IS VERY, VERY MUCH AFFECTED WITH THE HURRICANES LAST YEAR, AND I THINK HOUSING STOCKS LIKE THIS WILL BE A BENEFIT. WITH THAT, I'LL CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE A QUESTION. I HAVE A HARD TIME WITH THIS ONE. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS TOO MUCH ON TOO LITTLE AND WHY YOU HAVE TO GET THE SIDE DOOR ACCESS WITH THE SIDEWALK AND SIDE SETBACK. WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS, IT TROUBLED ME. I GET IT. YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER PARCELS, THEY ARE ALL SINGLE-FAMILY, NOT MULTIFAMILY. IS IT JUST THE ECONOMICS OF THAT THAT YOU CAN'T DEVELOP A SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE, FRONT DOOR. >> IT'S IN TRANSITIONAL USE. IT'S IN A -- BETWEEN 22nd AND 20th -- IT'S SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR CHANGING. HARD HEAVY INDUSTRIAL TO THE WEST AND HOUSING STOCK THAT'S IN ILL-REPAIR, AGAIN, I KNOW IT'S ON ITS OWN MERIT, WE HAVE DONE THE SAME PROJECT ON A COUPLE OF PROJECTS TO THE SOUTH. GETTING READY TO START A LARGE TOWN HOUSE PROJECT ON GORDON. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS THE WAY THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOING TO GO, AND THAT'S GOING TO BENEFIT PEOPLE. AFFORDABILITY OBVIOUSLY AFFORDABILITY IS BECOMING A PROBLEM EVERYWHERE. BUT THE GOOD THING ABOUT PALMETTO BEACH IT'S RELATIVELY AFFORDABLE. THE PROBLEM WITH PALMETTO BEACH, HOUSING STOCK HAS BEEN BATTERED BY STORMS BECAUSE IT'S SO SLOW. SO THEREFORE WE'RE TRYING TO THREAD THAT NEEDLE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT IS THE WIDTH OF THE LOT? >> IT IS A 50-FOOT WIDE LOT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IT'S TWO HOUSES ON 50 FEET. ARE THERE ANY OTHER SEMI DETACHED DEVELOPMENTS ON THE BLOCK? >> ON THIS PARTICULAR BLOCK, NO, BUT TO THE BLOCK SOUTH, YES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'M SEEING A NOD FROM STAFF. >>MARTIN SHELBY: A NOD IS INSUFFICIENT FOR THE RECORD. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STAFF, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME TO THE MICROPHONE PLEASE? COULD YOU PLEASE PAINT A PICTURE FOR ME ABOUT HOW THIS FITS INTO THESE OTHER PARCELS AND THE WAY THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOING? >>STEPHANIE POPE: STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. ON THIS BLOCK, THERE ARE NO OTHER HOMES OR STRUCTURES LIKE THAT. THEY ARE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED STRUCTURES. HOWEVER, THESE RECENT REZONINGS DOWN HERE -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THOSE ARE MULTIFAMILY DOWN THERE. WHERE ARE THE APARTMENTS WE APPROVED SOMEWHERE DOWN THERE? >>STEPHANIE POPE: THEY ARE DOWN IN THIS AREA. LET ME SEE HERE, I HAVE THEM ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF GORDON STREET, BETWEEN 20th AND 22nd WAS APPROVED FOR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED FIVE UNITS. AND ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF GORDON AND SOUTH 22nd IS APPROVED FOR 9 UNITS. THESE AREAS OVER HERE, THEY WERE APPROVED FOR 5 UNITS. THAT ONE WAS IN 2023 FOR THE 5 UNITS. AND ALSO 2023 FOR THE 9 UNITS. >>LYNN HURTAK: WASN'T THERE AN APARTMENT -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE DID APPROVE AN APARTMENT SOMEWHERE DOWN THERE. >>LYNN HURTAK: I THINK FURTHER DOWN.

ITEM NUMBER 12 ON THE AGENDA IS A NOTIFICATION OF PROVE POSED CHANGE OF A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT. I WILL TRY TO BE AS BRIEF AS I CAN AND NOT COMPLICATE IT TOO MUCH. DEVELOPMENTS OF REGIONAL IMPACT -- THOSE OF YOU ON COUNCIL FOR A WHILE MIGHT REMEMBER THESE, A CREATURE OF STATUTE THAT WAS A BIG DEAL 40 YEARS AGO BUT STARTING IN ABOUT 2008, THE LEGISLATURE GUTTED AND STARTED REPEALING THE DRI STATUTES. SO NOW WE ARE CONVERTING THEM AS THEY COME IN FOR MODIFICATION. WE ARE APPROVING THEM AS LOCAL ORDER SO AS THE CITY WILL HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THESE DEVELOPMENT ORDERERS NOW. THIS REQUEST OF PROPOSED CHANGE RELATES ONLY TO THIS PARCEL WITHIN THE LARGER DEVELOPMENT OF IMPACT. ALL OF THE CHANGES ARE WHAT IS IDENTIFIED AS PARCEL J. I HAVE A QUICK MAP HERE THAT SHOWS IT IS IN THE STAFF REPORT. PARCEL J IS HERE. YOU CAN SEE IT IS IDENTIFIED BY THE CROSSHATCHING FOR HOTEL, MOTEL AND RESIDENTIAL, BUT THE APPLICANT DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MULTIFAMILY ENTITLEMENTS TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO THE DRI. SO WHAT THEY HAVE REQUESTED IN THIS AMENDMENT APPLICATION IS TO MODIFY THE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT TO TAKE SOME OFFICE EN ENTITLEMENTS AND CONVERT THEM TO MULTIFAMILY ENTITLEMENTS. APPEAR MECHANISM THAT IS BUILT INTO THE DRI. IT MAINLY DEALS WITH TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS AND AN EQUIVALENCY MATRIX. WILL COHEN IS HERE AND CAN DO A BETTER JOB OF EXPLAINING THIS THAN I CAN. ALLOWS FOR A TRADE-OFF OF A SPECIFIC RATIO BASED ON NO ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC IMPACTS. SO IT IS TAKING 49,874 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE, CONVERTING THOSE PER THE EQUIVALENCY MATRIX TO RESIDENTIAL FOR -- AGAIN, FOR PARCEL J ONLY. ANOTHER PARCEL WITHIN THIS DRI WANT TO COME IN AND DO THE SAME THING, THEY WILL HAVE TO COME TO COUNCIL AND SEEK A SIMILAR TYPE OF AMENDMENT. REMAINDER OF THE CHANGES IN THIS APPLICATION ARE REALLY KIND OF HOUSEKEEPING AND EXTEND THE BUILDOUT DATE FOR THE DRI, AND THEY MAKE CHANGES TO THE GRAPHIC DEPICTION OF THE DRI WHICH IS REALLY THIS. AND IT WILL SHOW THAT NOW MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL ARE ALLOWED ON PARCEL J, THIS PARCEL ONLY. I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND I AM SURE MR. BENTLEY OR MR. COHEN CAN ANSWER ANY OTHER MORE DETAILED QUESTIONS. AND STAFF FOUND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT -- I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THIS DURING MY PREP MEETING. PDs, OLD PDs BEING ABLE TO KEEP THEIR WAIVERS FOR A NEW PD. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: I THINK -- HISTORICALLY THIS HAS PRIOR -- OKAY. >>LYNN HURTAK: SO I AM -- LIKE RIGHT NOW, IT IS AS PD FOR TWO 16-STORY BUILDINGS. THAT WAS THE CURRENT OR THE PREVIOUS. SOME MY QUESTION IS, IF WE ARE REDOING THE WHOLE THING, WHY DID THEY GET TO KEEP THOSE WAIVERS? >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: I DON'T -- YOU WANT STAFF TO ADDRESS THAT? MY UNDERSTANDING AND MR. BENTLEY IS SAYING THEY ARE ASKING FOR NEW WAIVERS NOW. >>LYNN HURTAK: DIFFERENT WAIVERS. NOT ADDITIONAL. I MISUNDERSTOOD THAT. THANK YOU. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: YOU ARE WELCOME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: VERY GOOD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF BEFORE WE ASK THE APPEAR POLICE CAPITOL. APPLICANT. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, MARK BENTLEY, 400 NORTH A SHALLY DRIVE TAMPA FLORIDA 3602 REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT. I DON'T KNOW, WOULD YOU LIKE THE SHORT FORM OR THE LONG FORM. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SHORT -- LONG FORM? REALLY? REALLY? >> I WILL GIVE YOU A LITTLE SYNOPSIS AND START OFF MISS HURTAK FIELDING QUESTIONS AND THEN WE CAN CONVERT INTO THE PRESENTATION. I GOT THE ENTIRE TEAM HERE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU WANT TO START OFF WILDFIRE QUESTIONS? LET'S GO. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WANTED TO KNOW -- WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ON THE PD, YOU ARE -- YOU ARE TAKING -- YOU ARE TAKING THE OLD WAIVERS OFF. >> RIGHT. WE ARE STARTING FROM GROUND ZERO. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. I AM ALSO CONCERNED AND CURIOUS WHY YOU DIDN'T PUT ANOTHER LEVEL OF PARKING INSTEAD OF HAVING SO MUCH SURFACE PARKING. >> A LOT OF THAT HAD TO DO WITH TAMPA INTERNATIONAL SPANNED THE HEIGHT LIMITATIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. >> JUST SO I CAN EXPLAIN. RIGHT NOW THE CHASE SUITES. IT WAS BELT ABOUT 1-- BUILT ABOT 40 YEARS AGO. I HAVE BEEN WORKING THIS PROPERTY FOR 20 YEARS. I HANDLED THE REZONING IN 2006. FOR TWO 14-STORY TOWERS AND 14,000 SQUARE FEET AND ONE ACCESS POINT. IT WAS A MIRROR IMAGE OF SCALE AND INTENSITY AS WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED HERE TONIGHT. SO THE ONLY CHANGE WAS BACK THEN, IT WAS 161 LARGE CONDOS IN THE RANGE OF 2500 TO 3,000 SQUARE FEET PER UNIT VERSUS APARTMENTS. SOME THAT IS REALLY THE SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE. >>LYNN HURTAK: SO THESE ARE GOING TO BE APARTMENTS? >> YES, MA'AM. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. I JUST -- ON THE SITE PLAN, I JUST FOUND IT ODD, I WILL HAVE TO SAY, THAT HUFF PARKING ALONG THE BAY. IT IS ONLY LIKE SIX SPACES, ALL THE GREEN SPACE TO HAVE PARKING ON OF MULTIMILLION DOLLAR VIEW SPACE JUST -- I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. >> I UNDERSTAND. LET ME -- I WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN IT. WHEN WE CAME IN -- WE WERE SCHEDULED FOR JULY AND THERE WERE CONCERNS RAZED BY STAFF. SO WE LITERALLY WE ARE NOT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. AND THEY REALLY HAD SOME GOOD IDEAS AND IT PAID DIVIDENDS. TURNED OUT TO BE THIS A LOT BETTER PLAN. WE NEEDED WAIVERS FOR TREES, FOR LAND SCAPE, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WE HAD TO SACRIFICE. THIS IS FROM TRADE-OFF AND SACRIFICE PARKING AND ASKING FOR A 60% WAIVER. SO WE WERE VERY CONSCIOUS NOT -- TRYING TO HIT THAT TARGET 6% MORE OR LESS. WHATEVER SPACES WE COULD SQUEEZE IN ESSENTIALLY WE DID THAT. SO, YOU KNOW, IT IS TRYING TO STRIKE A BALANCE ESSENTIALLY. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT ONE -- OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO COME LAST. I SAW FIVE PARKING SPACES FOR BIKES IN THE GARAGE. SO I -- I WANT TO HEAR YOUR PLAN FOR -- FOR PROTECTED BIKE PARKING IN A HIDDEN -- YOU KNOW, A SEPARATE, SECURE BIKE STORAGE FACILITY. >> OKAY. THIS IS RYAN MANASSE, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING. >> RYAN MANASSE, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE, JOHNSON AND POPE. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, FIVE BIKE RACKS THAT HOLD 10 TO 15 BIKES. THIS THAT THAT GARAGE -- IS QUESTION YOU BRING UP ALL THE TIME AND WE ARE PREPARED. A CLOSED AND SECURE GARAGE. HAS THAT EFFECT OF A SECURED ROOM FOR THE BICYCLE AND SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE SITE PLAN. IF YOU LOOK THROUGH THE SITE PLAN THE T-RACKS AND THEY MEET THE CODE. >> HONESTLY THAT IS WHY PEOPLE WILL LIVE IN THESE APARTMENTS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO ACCESS THE COURTNEY CAMPBELL CAUSEWAY. YOU CAN'T HAVE ENOUGH SECURE BIKE PARKING AS I LIKE TO SAY. YOU HEARD ME SAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN. BIKES COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS NOW. NOBODY WANTS TO LEAVE THEIR BIKE IN A SPOT THAT COULD BE -- COULD BE TAKEN. ABSOLUTELY. AND THE GARAGE IS FULLY SECURE AS I SAID. AMPLE SPACES FOR BIKE BIKE AND PARKING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. >> NO, SIR, ANY QUESTIONS? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: YOU TALKED OF THE AIRPORT. ARE YOU AT THE MAXIMUM FAA LIMIT? >> YEAH, WE ARE. THE WAY THEY MEASURE IS AMSL. THEY MEASURE THE HEIGHT DIFFERENT THAN THE ZONING DEPARTMENT. SO I THINK WE ARE AT 1770 -- 176 AMSL. >>BILL CARLSON: IT IS A BEAUTIFUL DESIGN, BY THE WAY. >> THANK YOU, APPRECIATE IT. >>LYNN HURTAK: HE JUST GAVE THIS LONG NAIM NAME FOR -- I DIDN'T KNOW THAT RUNWAYS ARE NAMED. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: USED TO 927 AND THE MAGNETIC POLES -- EVERY TIME THEY SHIFT, THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE RUNWAYS. TAMPA INTERNATIONAL WAS 1836. THE MAGNETIC POLE SHIFTS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IN THE PAN AM DAYS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STILL CURRENT. ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM. HEARING NONE, HEAR A MOTION TO CLOSE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO MOVED. >>BILL CARLSON: SECONDS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED. AYES HAVE IT. COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS ONE. IT IS GOING TO BE 11 AND 12. YOU CAN DO 11 FIRST, PLEASE. AND WE DON'T -- >> MR. CHAIR -- MR.

CARLSON CARE WANT TO HEAR WHAT COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK IS GOING TO PROPOSE ABOUT YBOR. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL MEMBER YOUNG. ANYTHING FOR NEW BUSINESS. >>NAYA YOUNG: I HAVE A MOTION. THEY ARE PROBABLY -- >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST WANT TO -- >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I HAVE A NONRELATED -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: LET'S GO THE ORDER. COUNCIL MEMBER YOUNG. >>LYNN HURTAK: WE TALKED ABOUT THIS EARLIER. >>NAYA YOUNG: SHE HAS A MOTION TOO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU WANT TO DEFER TO COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I WANT TO SAY AND YOU MIGHT HAVE A MOTION. STAFF, LOVE YOU, BUT WE ARE NOT QUITE DONE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: LOVE YOU, BUT BE QUIET. >>LYNN HURTAK: NO, I ACTUALLY -- HE TALKED TO CHIEF BERCAW ON OUR BREAK, AND HE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO GO AHEAD AND HAVE A LISTENING SESSION MEETING WITH THE IDEA OF TALKING ABOUT ALL TYPES OF OPTIONS. REALLY JUST LETTING THE COMMUNITY BE HEARD. HE DID THOUGH SAY HE HAS TO TALK TO HIS COMMUNICATION TEAM AND FIND A DATE AND A TIME. HE CAN'T JUST THROW SOMETHING OUT RIGHT NOW. SO I DEFINITELY WANTED TO -- TO UPDATE EVERYONE WITH THAT CONVERSATION FROM EARLIER. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: REMEMBER TWO YEARS AGO THEY HAD A BIG MEETING AT THE CENTRO ESTURIANO IN YBOR AND ENCLOSED AREA, AIR-CONDITIONED AND ALL THAT STUFF. IF THEY NEED A LOCATION THAT WORKED OUT VERY WELL. >>LYNN HURTAK: WE HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE AND MEANT ON ONE OF THE CHURCH ON PALM AVE. THERE ARE OPTIONS AND WHAT WE CAN DO IS JUST HEAR FROM THE CHIEF WHO WAS OPEN TO IT AND VERY GOOD LISTENING AND COMMUNICATING WITH THE PUBLIC. I BELIEVE THAT WE LET HIM DO THAT, AND I AM SURE HE WILL LET US KNOW WHEN IT IS AND WE CAN ALL ATTENDS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL MEMBER YOUNG -- >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THAT REAL FAST. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING -- >>NAYA YOUNG: I WILL HAVE A MOTION. SO I CAN DO IT AFTER. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND THEN -- >>BILL CARLSON: WELL, I THINK -- I THINK IT WILL BE BETTER IF WE ASKED CHIEF BERCAW TO LET TPD'S COMMUNICATION PEOPLE RUN IT. I HAVE BEEN TO, UPS THAT THEY HAVE RUN AND HAVE GONE REALLY SMOOTHLY. IF YOU COMPARE AND CONTRAST TO THE SOUTH HOWARD ONE WHICH IS RUN BY THE COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT IT WAS A DISASTER. >>LYNN HURTAK: I THINK IT IS HIS COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT. >>BILL CARLSON: I DON'T WANT IT POLITICIZED AND I DON'T THINK HIS PEOPLE WILL POLITICIZE IT. THEY HAVE GREAT STAFF IN COMMUNICATION BUT PEOPLE AT THE TOP THAT WANT TO PLAY POLITICS. NOT SOMETHING TO PLAY POLITICS ABOUT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG. >>NAYA YOUNG: OKAY, I MOVE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR THE TAMPA POLICE MOBILITY DEPARTMENT TO APPEAR IN PERSON AT THE DECEMBER 4, 2025 TAMPA CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC AND CITY COUNCIL A VERBAL STAFF REPORT TO BE THE FIRST ITEMS HEARD UNDER STAFF REPORTS AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS ON CURRENT INITIATIVES TO ENSURE THAT YBOR CITY AND 7th AVENUE IS HE A SAFE AND PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENTS, AND FOLLOWING THAT, CITY COUNCIL TO DISCUSS OPTIONS TO FURTHER ENHANCE SAFETY TO THE RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES. I DID TALK -- >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT WAS THE D DATE. >>NAYA YOUNG: DECEMBER 4. I TALKED TO THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS AN APPROPRIATE DATE AND HE WAS OKAY WITH IT. >>LYNN HURTAK: WE HAVE FIVE ITEMS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT IS THE DAY WE HAVE POLICE, ATU AND FIRE FIGHTERS ALL ON THE SAME DAY. >>LYNN HURTAK: I THINK WE SHOULD DO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, I AGREE. I WILL SECOND IT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I ALREADY DID. >>NAYA YOUNG: I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT NEXT WEEK BECAUSE THAT WILL BE INTO SOON. BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT TOO LONG BECAUSE THIS IS A PRESSING ISSUE. JUST SO THEY CAN PUT OUT -- BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN TALKING TO ACTUALLY HAVE IT OUT SO THE PUBLIC KNOW WHAT IS IS GOING ON. >>LYNN HURTAK: HOPEFULLY HAVE THE PUBLIC MEETING BEFORE THEN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT IS MY CONCERN. THAT I THINK THEY WOULD WANT THAT TO COME FIRST. >>LYNN HURTAK: I AGREE. I THINK THE PUBLIC MEETING HAS TO COME FIRST.

COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I DO HAVE SOMETHING. I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU, I AM PASSING THIS OUT. THIS IS TOMORROW. THIS IS THE REGIONAL MPO PRINCIPALS WORKSHOP. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WILL BE THERE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL. EVERY SINGLE COUNCIL PERSON HAS BEEN INVITED. EVERY COUNTY COMMISSION FROM EVERY CITY AND EVERY COUNTY IN PINELLAS, HILLSBOROUGH, AND PASCO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AND PROPERLY NOTICED. >>LYNN HURTAK: PROPERLY NOTICED. IF WE ARE NOT AT THE TABLE, WE ARE ON THE TABLE. TAMPA COUNCILWOMAN YOUNG HAS THE ABILITY TO BE APPEAL THE ENTIRE MERGING OF MPOs. WE HAVE TO BE BE THERE AND LISTEN AND PARTICIPATE. I AM PLANNING ON GOING. I NKNOW CHAIR IS PLANNING ON GOING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS BALL GUY OVER HERE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I CAN. THAT'S FINE. >>LYNN HURTAK: ANYONE WHO CAN, THIS IS UNYOU HAVE WITH THOSE REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS TO ATTEND AND TO MAKE SURE OUR VOICES ARE HEARD. SO JUST A SECONDARY REMINDER. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. >>BILL CARLSON: I WAS QUESTIONING WHETHER TO GO. I HAVE BEEN TO A BUNCH OF THESE KIND OF THINGS IN THE PAST ON TRANSPORTATION. THE -- BUT BECAUSE IT IS AT -- BECAUSE IT IS AT THE LOCATION IT HAS BEEN AT, I HOPE THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH SOME KIND OF HOKIE EXERCISE. DO YOU GUYS KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE AGENDA AND HOW THEY ARE GOING TO HANDSEL IT? >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE INVOLVE IDEA. I JUST KNOW THAT -- I JUST KNOW THAT SHOWING UP AND SAYING THAT THE SNAP IS ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN THIS. BECAUSE THAT -- THAT'S -- EVERYTHING WE HEARD IS ALL ABOUT HOW TAMPA, YOU KNOW, IS MUCKING UP WITH THE PROCESS BECAUSE WE WANT TO -- WE WANT TO ADVOCATE FOR OUR CITIZENS. AND. WE DON'T SHOW UP. >>BILL CARLSON: BUT ALL WE HAVE TO DO -- ARE WE ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW. ALL WE HAVE TOE DO IS SAY WHAT OUR -- WHAT OUR NONNEGOTIABLES ARE. AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THERE. WE CAN TELL THEM IN OUR PROCESS AND WE CAN FEED IT BACK. EXTENDING 275. AND -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IF YOU WERE ASKING IS THIS PROPAGANDA, YEAH. >>LYNN HURTAK: BUT ALSO IT IS NOT -- NOT JUST GOING FOR THE WORKSHOP ITSELF, IT IS TO TALK TO -- IT IS TO TALK TO OUR COUNTERPARTS AND TO HEAR THEM. AND IT IS THE SAME THING THAT WE ARE DOING WITH -- WITH THE POLICE CHIEF. IT'S MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE FEELS HEARD. AND I JUST THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO SHOW UP. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AND WHAT COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK -- I AM THE MOST PESSIMISTIC PERSON IN THE WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO THIS. YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS. I'M NOT SAYING NO, BUT I AM DEFINITELY NOT SAYING YES TO ANYTHING OF WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WHAT WE RUN THE RISK OF IF OTHER PEOPLE OTHER THAN LET'S SAY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND NAYSAYER A WILL,AN. OH, JUST NOSE TWO TROUBLEMAKERS AND SQUEAKY VOICES. THEY NEED TO HEAR FROM EVERYONE ELSE OTHERWISE JUST THE USUAL SUSPECTS TRYING TO GUNK UP THE SYSTEM. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHEN I WAS ON THE MPO-TPO, YOU KNOW, A MERGER LIKE THIS IN AN AREA THAT IS SO BIG, YOU KNOW, I THINK ABOUT TAMPA HEIGHTS AND SEMINOLE HEIGHTS AND TB NEXT AND TBX, AND THEY FELT -- EVEN THOUGH WE WERE THERE UNTIL 2:00 IN THE MORNING. THEY FELT THEIR VOICES WERE NOT BEING HEARD WITH THE VOICES SO DONE IN THE COMMUNITY. WITH A LARGER GROUP, THEY WILL KNEEL EVEN STRONGER. ING WITHING THAT WE MIGHT BE THE COUNTY SEAT. WE MIGHT BE THE HUB. WE MIGHT HAVE THE BEST AIRPORTS. ALL ROADS LEAD TO TAMPA KINDS OF THING, I DON'T WANT OUR VOICE BE DIMINISHED, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE, AGAIN, YEAR AFTER YEAR WITH THE TIF HEARING, YOU WOULD BE THERE UNTIL 2:00 IN THE MORNING WITH PUBLIC COMMENT. IT WAS HARD ENOUGH -- AND IT DIDN'T GO THEIR WAY. PEOPLE WERE SUPPORTING THESE PROJECTS MOVING FORWARD. AT FIRST I WAS ONE KNOW VOTE THAN TWO OR THREE PEOPLE AND EVEN THEIR OWN TPO WAS -- WAS TURNING -- WAS NOT LISTENING TO THEM. BECAUSE, AGAIN, SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE CAME OUT. I GET THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS. AND ANYWAYS CLENDENIN. >>BILL CARLSON: AS I SAID I STAT THROUGH A BUNCH OF THESE MEETINGS. EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY. AND -- AND IF -- IF THE PROCESS ISN'T HANDLED WELL, IT IS GOING TO BE A HUGE WASTED EFFORT. AND THE REAL ISSUE THAT WE HAVE IS BECAUSE WE CAN -- WE CAN VETO IT TO SOME EXTENT, BUT AT SOME POINT, WE MIGHT -- HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE A MORE FUNCTIONAL LOBBYING PROCESS THAT WE CAN GO TO, BUT RIGHT NOW THE CITY COUNCIL HAS NO ACCESS TO THE LOBBYISTS AND NO ACCESS TO DIRECT THEM. MAYBE THAT IS SOMETHING ELSE WE NEED TO PUT IN THE CHARTER WE HAVE A STAY OF WHAT OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA IS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS FEDERAL, BY THE WAY. WITH THE ABILITY OF THE CITY OF TAMPA TO HAVE THE FINAL SAY -- CHARLOTTE CARLS-- >>BILL CARLSON: BUT OF THE OTHER THING IS THAT D.O.T. IS AT THE TABLE AND THE MAIN STICKING POINT THAT WE HAVE -- WE HAVE A PRETTY -- SO ARY, I AM TIRED. A PRETTY BIG CONSTITUENT GROUP THAT DOESN'T WANT US TO EXPAND 275 THROUGH THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. THE LAST I MET WITH THESE REGIONAL GROUPS, ST. PETE WANTS THAT LANE SO THEY PUTS BRT ALL THE WAY FROM DOWNTOWN ST. PETE ALL THE WAY UP TO PASCO COUNTY ON 275. AND IF WE DON'T ALLOW IT IN SOME WAY, THAT BLOCKS THE WHOLE THING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PASCO COUNTY WANTS THAT AS WELL. >>BILL CARLSON: THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP PUSHING FOR IT. WE CAN BLOCK IT. WITH THE POWER AND DIRECT INFLUENCE. I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE INDIVIDUAL INFLUENCE IN TALLAHASSEE, WE AS A CITY COUNCIL HAS DIRECT INFLUENCE IN TALLAHASSEE AND DIRECT ACCESS TO THE LOBBYIST, HAVE PEOPLE TALK TO THE GOVERNOR AND PEOPLE AROUND HIM TO INFLUENCE D.O.T. AT THE STATE LEVEL TO COME BACK. RIGHT NOW THEY TREAT US LIKE A NUISANCE. INSTEAD A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT THEY CAN COME UP WITH. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: TOMORROW I THINK IS ONE YOU HAVE THOSE THINGS AS COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK SAID IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE OUR VOICES NOT JUST THE TWO SQUEAKY WHEELS THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE LISTENING TO. THEY REALIZE IT IS JUST NOT TWO OUT OF SEVEN. AT LEAST FOUR OUT YOU HAVE SEVEN. >>LYNN HURTAK: SOMETIME THIS YOU JUST GOT TO SHOW UP. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN. MARTIN SHELBY I DON'T WANT TO SAY PUBLICLY WHAT I ANY NFS STANDS FOR TO MY WAY OF THINKING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: NO PUN SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: ANYWAY, COUNCIL, I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THIS WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. I DID REACH OUT TO THE ORGANIZERS AND FOUND OUT ABOUT NOTICING. WHAT I DID WAS I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO HAVE IT NOTICED DOWNSTAIRS ON THE CITY WEB SITE FOR YOUR PROTECTION. I JUST WANT TO -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: APPRECIATE THAT. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I UNFORTUNATELY -- WELL, I WON'T BE BE THERE TIMELY. I WILL BE THERE AS WELL WHEN IT IS UNDER WAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU WILL BE IN SPIRIT. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WILL BE THERE, BUT I HAVE PRIOR COMMITMENTS I HAVE TO BE WITH -- I AM GOING TO BE WITH THE BUDGET -- THE BUDGET COMMITTEE ON A FACT FIND. WHAT I AM ASKING TO YOU DO IS THIS. REMAIN MINDFUL OF THE SUNSHINE LAW. NOT EVERYBODY DOES. AND I DON'T WANT COUNCIL, PARTICULARLY IF IT IS GOING TO FIND ITSELF IN A POSITION WHERE IT IS GOING TO GOING TO ADVOCATE TO PUT ITSELF IN AN ADVERSARIAL. NO PRIVATE SIDE BARS ESPECIALLY IF THEY BREAK YOU OUT OF GROUPS TO TALK TO EACH OTHER. ANYWAY, JUST REMAIN MINDFUL THAT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE CAN PUBLICLY IF WE ARE IN THE SAME ROOM ON THE SAME MICROPHONE -- >>MARTIN SHELBY: I HAVE BEEN TO THESE GROUPS WHERE THAT HE BREAK YOU INTO TABLES AND TALK AMONG YOURSELVES AND A TRUE PUBLIC MEETING AND NOBODY CAN HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING UNTIL YOU COME TOGETHER. SO I AM JUST -- JUST PLEASE REMAIN MINDFUL BECAUSE ULTIMATELY IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT IS ALL I ASK. I DON'T WANT TAMPA CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO IT BE, YOU KNOW, TARGETED. >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I MENTION TWO QUICK THINGS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: TWO QUICK THINGS AND THEN MANISCALCO FOR NEW BUSINESS. >>BILL CARLSON: WE ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TPO BOARD WHICH IS REALLY UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE A WHOLE ANOTHER SET -- NOW THAT I AM ON THE BOARD, A WHOLE SET OF PEOPLE I CAN'T TALK TO. THE OTHER THING -- YOU ALL MAY KNOW THIS, 15 YEARS AGO I WAS PART OF THE EFFORT TO KEEP THE EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY LOCAL. WE PUSHED THROUGH THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT KEEPING THEM LOCAL. DID YOU ALL KNOW THIS? D.O.T. TRIED TO TAKE IT OVER. THEY ARE A CASH COW, WHICH IS WHY THE CITY IS TRYING TO HAVE THEM FUND THINGS LIKE SOUTH HOWARD. A BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THEM LOCAL, WE HAVE ACCESS TO THAT BOARD AND INFLUENCE WHAT THEY DO. OTHER THING WAS TO GET THEM ENTITLEMENT THAT GOES ALL THE WAY TO DOWNTOWN ST. PETE. SO AS WE ARE NEGOTIATING, THAT IS NOT REALLY ON THE TABLE. THIS HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT AND DOESN'T SHOW UP ON ANY MAPS BUT LET'S KEEP THAT IN MIND IN THE HIM POCKET BECAUSE AS WE ARE TRYING TO TRADE CHIPS, MAYBE THERE IS A WAY TO PUT THE BRT ON THAT INSTEAD OF 275. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: VERY GOOD. COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WHO LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE A TEN-MINUTE PRESENTATION ON JANUARY 8, 2026 TO RECOGNIZE OF TWO THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE IN THIS BUILDING. SULING LUCAS HARRIS AND SHIRLEY FOXX-KNOWLES.
