LET THE RECORD SHOW COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA AND HURTAK ARE HERE. AT THIS TIME, MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO OPEN ALL PUBLIC HEARINGS. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SO MOVED. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. ALL IN FAVOR?

ANYTHING ELSE? >>ERIC COTTON: THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE FIVE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA. THE FIRST THREE ARE NON-QUASI-JUDICIAL. I'LL SWEAR FOLKS IN WHEN WE GET TO ITEM NUMBER 4. LET'S BEGIN WITH ITEM NUMBER 1. WE DID A MOTION TO OPEN EVERYTHING. >> MICHELLE IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. THERE SHOULD BE A PowerPoint COMING UP SOON. GOOD AFTERNOON. AS YOU'RE AWARE, TWO WEEKS AGO, DIRECTOR HENDERSON WAS HERE TO PRESENT THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING ON OUR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN. I AM HERE TO INTRODUCE OUR SECOND PUBLIC HEARING AND INFORMATION ON OUR ACTION PLAN AND THE PROCESS THAT WE HAVE MOVING FORWARD TO INVITE THE PUBLIC AND THE CITIZENS TO MAKE ANY COMMENT ON THE DOCUMENT AND OUR PROCESS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IT'S BEEN ACTING UP. >> THIS IS OUR PROCESS. RIGHT NOW WE'RE ON THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING. LET'S SEE IF THIS WILL MOVE FORWARD. SO IN 2022, WE PASSED A FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN WHICH INDICATES OUR GOALS AND PRIORITIES FOR THE FIVE YEARS FOR OUR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN IS EVERY YEAR SINCE THEN. SO WE ARE IN THE THIRD YEAR OF THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN UPCOMING. THIS ACTION PLAN WILL BE SUBMITTED TO HUD IN AUGUST, AND IT DESCRIBES ALL OF THE PLANNED ACTIVITIES FOR THE FEDERAL DOLLARS THAT WE RECEIVE. AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT OUR AVAILABLE FUNDING. WE DID A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR CDBG DOLLARS. WE HAD COMMITTEES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUNDING WHICH YOU'LL SEE IN THE SLIDES. THAT THEN GET ENTERED INTO THE DRAFT PLAN AND THEN SUBMITTED TO HUD. OUR PRIORITY NEEDS AND GOALS WHICH WERE ESTABLISHED IN THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN ARE LISTED, INCLUDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE, PUBLIC SERVICE, HOMELESS SERVICES AND, OF COURSE, PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION. OUR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN INCLUDES ACTIVITIES FUNDED BY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS, EMERGENCY SOLUTION GRANT, HOUSING, HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP AND OUR HOPWA GRANT WHICH IS A FOUR COUNTY AREA THAT THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. AGAIN, AS MENTIONED LAST TIME, OUR TOTAL DOLLARS, THESE ARE FORMULA ALLOCATIONS FROM HAD YOU HAD AND THE STATE TOTALING APPROXIMATELY $13.7 MILLION WHICH IS A SLIGHT REDUCTION FROM THE LAST YEAR. THIS IS HOW WE PLAN ON SPENDING THE $13 MILLION IN OUR ACTION PLAN. THIS DOES INCLUDE STATE FUNDING OF ABOUT $3 MILLION AS WELL AND SOME OF THE PROGRAMS ADMINISTRATION, HOW WE'RE GOING TO ALLOCATE THE FUNDS. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CDBG. IT IS THE MOST FLEXIBLE OF THE FUNDING SOURCES. ELIGIBLE USES INCLUD PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE PUBLIC FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS, ACQUISITION OF LAND, ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY, SPECIAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES, PUBLIC SERVICES AND, AGAIN, PLANNING ADMINISTRATION. AGAIN, WE DID A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE AGENCIES. WE ARE MAX ALLOCATION ON ANNUAL BASIS IS 15% OF CDBG ALLOCATION. THIS YEAR WE ARE PLANNING ON AWARDING THESE FOUR AGENCIES IN THE AMOUNTS ABOVE. MORE INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN THE DOCUMENT ITSELF. WE DID ANOTHER RFP FOR PUBLIC FACILITY PROGRAMS, WHICH THE AWARDS ARE BASED ON THE SCORES AND THE PRIORITIES FROM THE REVIEW COMMITTEE. THIS DOES INCLUDE SOME FUNDS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS, ABOUT $600,000. SO THESE ARE THE TOTAL 1.4 FOR PUBLIC FACILITY IMPROVEMENT. OUR HOUSING COUNSELING PROGRAMS ARE FUNDED ON A THREE-YEAR CYCLE. THESE ARE THE SAME AGENCIES FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR, AND THEY WILL HAVE ONE MORE YEAR AFTER THIS. THEY SUPPORT OUR FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND OUR DARE PROGRAMS FOR DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE. OUR EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT PROGRAM ENGAGES HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS. IT PROVIDES FUNDING FOR SHELTERS, RAPID REHOUSING AND ESSENTIAL SERVICES AND WRAPAROUND SERVICES FOR HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. THESE ARE THE FUNDED AGENCIES FOR THE SG -- ESG FUNDS FUNDED THROUGH THE TAMPA/HILLSBOROUGH HOMELESS INITIATIVE ORGANIZATION TO PROVIDE RAPID REHOUSING, SHELTER OPERATIONS AND HOMELESS PREVENTION SERVICES. OUR HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS, LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE AN ALLOCATION OF ABOUT $5 MILLION PER YEAR, WHICH IS BASED ON THE FOUR-COUNTY AREA, WHICH IS PASCO, PINELLAS, HERNANDO, AND HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE RENTAL ASSISTANCE, PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING, SHORT-TERM RENTAL AND MORTGAGE UTILITY ASSISTANCE AND OTHER WRAPAROUND SERVICES. THESE ARE THE AGENCIES ALSO IN A THREE-YEAR FUNDING CYCLE, WHICH ARE THE SAME AGENCIES THAT WERE FUNDED LAST YEAR. WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO NEXT YEAR. OUR HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM INCLUDES FUNDING FOR MULTIFAMILY RENTAL PRESERVATION AND NEW CONSTRUCTION. NEW CONSTRUCTION FIRST-TIME HOME BUYER ASSISTANCE, SINGLE-FAMILY CONSTRUCTION OR REHABILITATION AND SOME RENTAL ASSISTANCE FOR -- SORRY. AND OUR PROPOSED HOME PROGRAMS ARE ALSO ON A THREE-YEAR BASIS, RENTAL ASSISTANCE. WE ARE REQUIRED TO SET ASIDE 15% OF EVERY ANNUAL ALLOCATION FOR HOME TOTAL DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS DEVELOPMENT OF SINGLE-FAMILY OR MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES. REHAB OUR NEW CONSTRUCTION AND ADMINISTRATION. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROGRAM, INCLUDING TODAY'S PUBLIC HEARING, INCLUDES A 30-DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD, WHICH STARTS TODAY AND WILL END JULY THE 28th TO ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO PROVIDE ANY INPUT OR COMMENTS ON THE PLAN ITSELF. THEY CAN PROVIDE COMMENTS TO OUR OFFICE, IN PERSON, VIA E-MAIL, VIA WEBSITE. WE DO HAVE THE ACTION PLAN. IT'S CURRENTLY UP ON THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEB PAGE FOR THE PUBLIC TO VIEW. IT'S BEEN POSTED IN VARIOUS NEWSPAPERS AND OTHER WAYS THAT THE CITIZENS CAN COMMENT ON THE PLAN. THIS IS OUR CALENDAR. TODAY WE ARE ON THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING. AGAIN, PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD IS YOU'LL SEE A RESOLUTION COMING AROUND AUGUST THE 1st FOR THE ACTUAL APPROVAL OF THE PLAN TO BE SUBMITTED TO HUD AND THEN WE'LL SUBMIT IT TO HUD BY THE 15th. FUNDING FOR THIS CONTRACT PERIOD STARTS OCTOBER 1 AND RUNS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30th. AGAIN, THIS IS OUR CALENDAR, AND THEN ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS CAN BE MADE TO OUR DIRECTOR OR OUR OFFICE. ANY COMMENTS ARE ACCEPTED AND INCLUDED IN THE PLAN. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL. IF NOT, I'LL ASK IF THERE'S ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM 1. NO ACTION IS BEING TAKEN. THIS IS THE PUBLIC HEARING. I SEE NONE. ALL RIGHT. DO WE LEAVE IT OPEN? MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT IS ITEM NUMBER 2, BE AGAIN, THIS IS NON-QUASI-JUDICIAL. IF ANYBODY IS GOING TO SPEAK, THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE SWORN IN YET. YES SIR. >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. IF I COULD GET THE PRESENTATION UP PLEASE. IF NOT, I HAVE A PAPER VERSION. WE'LL START THE PAPER VERSION. I'LL JUMP RIGHT INTO WHERE WE'RE AT. WE HAD THE -- PLANNING COMMISSION MADE THE RECOMMENDATION. THESE WERE THE FIRST PART OF THE AGENDA CYCLE. WE WERE IN FRONT OF COUNCIL IN MAY AND THEN THE TRANSMITTAL HEARING. PLANNING COMMISSION MADE THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS. NOW WE'RE HERE FOR FIRST READINGS OF THE REQUEST. THE FIRST ONE ON THE AGENDA OR THE FIRST ONE IN THE TEXT AMENDMENT IS EXPANDING THE AREA OF ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS IN THE CITY. THERE WAS THE EXPANSION. THIS IS THE MAP THAT I THINK COUNCIL HAS SEEN PREVIOUSLY. RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE ALLOWED AS A SPECIAL USE IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS IN EAST TAMPA AND BY RIGHT IN TAMPA HEIGHTS IN AN AREA AROUND LOWRY PARK CENTRAL WHICH ALLOWS FOR THE SPECIAL USE ALSO. THE AMENDMENT WOULD EXPAND THAT AREA. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS A PRETTY LARGE AREA OF THE CITY. 21%. ABOUT A FIFTH OF THE CITY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO APPLY OR HAVE AN ADU BY RIGHT. THIS DOVETAILS TO THE NEXT PORTION OF WHAT WAS BEING PROPOSED FOR THE AMENDMENT, WHICH IS ACTUALLY AMENDING THE CODE TO ALLOW NOT JUST THE EXPANSION OF THEM, BUT ALLOW -- STILL HAVE TO BE OWNER OCCUPIED, BUT THERE WERE A COUPLE OF AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE. ONE, THE WAY THE CURRENT CODE READS, THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS TO LIVE IN THE RESIDENCE, THE ADU COULD BE THE ONE THAT COULD BE A RENTAL IN THE BACK. THIS WOULD CHANGE THAT AND ALLOW, IF I'M THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, I'M AN ELDERLY INDIVIDUAL, MOVE INTO AN ADU AND RENT OUT THE MAIN STRUCTURE. IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR AN ADU TO GO INTO A NONCONFORMING STRUCTURE. RIGHT NOW, COUNCIL HAS SEEN THESE ON APPEALS, COME IN FOR A SPECIAL USE 1. THE EXISTING STRUCTURE IS A 1923 GARAGE. IT'S TWO AND A HALF FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. NEEDS TO BE THREE FEET, WE WOULD ADMINISTRATIVELY DENY THE REQUEST AT STAFF LEVEL. THEY WOULD APPEAL TO CITY COUNCIL AND CITY COUNCIL WOULD MAKE THE DETERMINATION WHETHER OR NOT IT IS APPROPRIATE. THE OTHER THING IT ALLOWS, WE ADDED THE WORD UNRELATED, BUT THE CURRENT CODE SAYS FOR AN ADU YOU CAN HAVE TWO INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN IT. WE'RE SPECIFYING UNRELATED. IF A HUSBAND AND WIFE HAD A CHILD, THEY WOULD NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE CODE, USING THAT AS AN EXAMPLE. RIGHT NOW THEY WOULD BE EXCEEDING WHAT WOULD BE ALLOWED BY CODE. I SHOULD BE ASKING, DOES COUNCIL HAVE QUESTIONS AS I'M GOING THROUGH THESE? WAIT UNTIL THE END? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS IT A LENGTHY PRESENTATION. DO YOU WANT TO HAVE NATURAL STOPPING POINTS? >>ERIC COTTON: THAT'S UP TO COUNCIL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: IF I MAY, WE'RE SAYING REALLY THE WAY IT IS NOW, THE PERSON BEHIND HAS GOT TO BE A RELATIVE OF THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE. THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE GOT TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE. >>ERIC COTTON: CORRECT. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WHAT ARE THE CHANGES FROM THAT? >>ERIC COTTON: AS THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE, I COULD MOVE INTO THE ADU. SINGLE 65-YEAR-OLD GUY, I COULD MOVE INTO THE ADU AND THEN RENT IT OUT TO A FAMILY IN THE FRONT. IT WOULD CHANGE THE DYNAMICS OF WHAT'S AVAILABLE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY MAYBE WE SHOULD STOP AT EACH AMENDMENT AND THAT WAY, BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF THE PUBLIC HERE THAT WANT TO TALK ON CERTAIN THINGS. THAT WAY THE PUBLIC CAN SPEAK BRIEFLY ON PARTICULAR AMENDMENTS INSTEAD OF WAITING UNTIL THE END. NO? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. NEVER MIND. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT. KEEP GOING, SIR. >>ERIC COTTON: THE NEXT AMENDMENT WAS INITIATED BY THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT. THIS IS BASICALLY TRYING TO ADDRESS DEMOLITION BY NEGLECT IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICTS. PEOPLE WHO OWN A HISTORIC PROPERTY AT TIMES, PEOPLE WILL -- THEY WOULD LIKE THAT PROPERTY TO GO AWAY, SO THEY LET IT DETERIORATE. THIS WOULD BE ADDRESSING THOSE. THEY DO GO TO CODE ENFORCEMENT. UP TO A $15,000 FINE FOR THE NEGLECT OF THE STRUCTURE. ONCE THEY GO THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS AND SUCH. >>LYNN HURTAK: MY ONLY QUESTION OF THIS IS, IS IT JUST 15,000? SO PER VIOLATION. YOU COULD HAVE MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS. BECAUSE HONESTLY $15,000 ISN'T THAT MUCH. IT'S PROBABLY CHEAPER THAN GETTING DEMO. >> DANA CROSBY COLLIER, CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. THE WAY THE STATUTE IS WRITTEN, THE STATUTE ALLOWS US TO IDENTIFY CERTAIN THINGS IN OUR CODE THAT WE WOULD CALL IRREPARABLE DAMAGE. UNDER CHAPTER 162 OF FLORIDA STATUTES, THAT IS CAPPED AT 15,000. SO WHEN WE WERE HERE BEFORE YOU SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND THERE HAD BEEN AN UNFORTUNATE DEMOLITION OF A HISTORIC STRUCTURE, WE DID GO THROUGH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT PROCESS ON THAT STRUCTURE, BUT THERE WAS SOME FRUSTRATION AS TO HOW THIS CAN HAPPEN IN OUR CITY THAT A HISTORIC STRUCTURE WOULD BE DEMOLISHED. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL THIS LANGUAGE FROM FLORIDA STATUTES TO ALLOW THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE TO IMPOSE THAT $15,000 FINE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: AGAIN, SORRY TO -- THAT'S FINE AND DANDY, BUT HAVE WE EVER LOOKED -- HOW DID THIS COME ABOUT? HAS CODE ENFORCEMENT LOOKED AT HOUSING LIKE THIS REAL DETERIORATED AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING WITH IT? WHY IS IT WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS? >> THERE ARE SOME SITUATIONS THAT -- THIS ONE DERIVED FROM THE OLDEST HOUSE IN YBOR THAT WAS DEMOLISHED BY THE OWNER WHEN THEY WERE DOING RENOVATIONS AND THE HOUSE FELL. BUT WHAT WE ALSO HAVE SEEN IN THE COMMUNITY ARE HISTORIC STRUCTURES THAT THE DIRT IS WORTH A LOT MORE THAN THAT STRUCTURE. AND SO WE'VE SEEN SOME SITUATIONS WHERE THE POWER IS TURNED OFF OR THE WATER IS TURNED OFF AND SOMETHING IS DONE SO THE HOUSE IS GOING TO SIT THERE AND DETERIORATE. THAT IS CALLED DEMOLITION BY NEGLECT AND IT IS AN INTENTIONAL ACT. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: IN ORDER TO SATISFY MY MOVING MIND, DO YOU WORK CLOSELY WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT WHERE THEY PATROL THE AREA AROUND THE CITY? SOMETIMES DURING THE YEAR, AND THEY COME BACK AND BRING THE CASES UP. IS THAT THE WAY IT'S DONE? WE CAN'T USE IT LIKE THE OLD TIME WHERE A NEIGHBOR WOULD CALL CITY, US, MORE THAN LIKELY ONE OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, WE WOULD CALL CODE ENFORCEMENT AND SAY SO AND SO TOLD US. NOW THEY CHANGED THE LAW. PUT THAT PERSON IN DANGER BECAUSE NOW WE CAN'T TURN IT IN BECAUSE NOW IF WE PUT THAT PERSON THAT TALKED ABOUT THE HOUSE BEING RUN DOWN NEXT TO HIM OR HER AND THEY BECOME WHO KNOWS IN TODAY'S SOCIETY. >> TO DATE, THESE HAVE COME UP AS A RESPONSE TO A COMPLAINT. THE ONES WE'RE AWARE OF HAVE COME BECAUSE NEIGHBORS HAVE COMPLAINED. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU. >> YES, SIR. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD, SIR. >>ERIC COTTON: THE NEXT WAS AN AMENDMENT TO 27-159, THE PROJECTIONS OF PORCHES INTO THE FRONT YARD. THIS WAS A CLEANUP BECAUSE WHEN THIS WAS AMENDED ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, THE LANGUAGE WAS MODIFIED BUT THE WAY THE ORDINANCE WAS WRITTEN, THE ADOPTION AND THE POSTING BY MUNICODE STILL HAD IT GOING THROUGH A VARIANCE OR THROUGH A DESIGN EXCEPTION. AND THE GOAL WAS TO ALLOW THOSE BY RIGHT TO GO UP TO 8 FEET. ENCROACH UP TO 8 FEET AS LONG AS MINIMUM OF FIVE FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. THIS WAS TO ALLOW THE FRONT PORCH -- ALLOW FRONT PORCHES, BRINGING BACK THE TRADITIONAL KIND OF NEIGHBORHOODS AND SUCH. THIS WAS A FIX. TAKE IT OUT OF PDs, SOMETHING IN THE ORIGINAL ORDINANCE, AND COUNCIL WANTED TO -- PDs REMOVED FROM THAT GIVEN THE SENSE IF YOU ARE GOING BEFORE COUNCIL FOR A PD, YOU SHOULD SORT OF KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO GET. THIS WOULD REMOVE THAT OPTION. THE NEXT ONE IS THE YBOR PARKING REQUIREMENTS. THIS IS AN AMENDMENT TO BOTH 27-177 AND 27-178. FOR 27-177, IT IS ACTUALLY AMENDING THE USE TABLE TO MAKE THEM SPECIAL USE 2s, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE CITY COUNCIL. RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE ALLOWED IN CERTAIN DISTRICTS AS WE CHANGE UPDATING BUFFERING AND SIGNAGE REQUIREMENTS AND ALSO REQUIRING ANNUAL OPERATION PLAN AND SECURITY PLAN FOR PAID PARKING LOTS OR PRINCIPAL USE PARKING LOTS THAT ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH A BUSINESS BUT THE PARKING LOT IS THE PRINCIPAL BUSINESS OF THAT LOT. THAT WOULD REQUIRE WITH THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE CODE WAS TO UNIFORM PRIVATE SECURITY GUARDS LICENSED BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND POSTED HOURS OF OPERATION. MAJOR DiFELICE FROM TPD IS HERE TO PROVIDE ANY DATA IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO PAUSE AND LET HIM SPEAK OR LET ME CONTINUE WITH WHAT I'M DOING HERE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHEN THIS WAS LAST BROUGHT UP, I EXPRESSED THE SAME FEELINGS ABOUT THIS. I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT AND I SUPPORT THE INTENT, BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM TRYING TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN PAID AND UNPAID BECAUSE A PARKING LOT IS A PARKING LOT IS A PARKING LOT, WHETHER SOMEBODY IS PAYING FOR IT OR NOT. IF WE HAVE A SECURITY ISSUE IN PARKING LOTS, COMMON SENSE WOULD TELL YOU WE HAVE SECURITY ISSUES ACROSS EVERY TYPE OF PARKING LOT. I'M STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE CONCEPT THAT WE'RE DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN THE TWO. I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF WE SAID PARKING LOTS IN EXCESS OF SO MANY SPOTS, BUT I'M HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME WITH THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: MS. FEELEY, WHEN SHE WAS HERE TO DESCRIBE AT THE BEGINNING OR THE LAST TIME THIS CAME FORWARD, SAID WE WOULD WORK ON THAT IN THE FUTURE, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIT IT IN THIS TEXT AMENDMENT CYCLE. AM I CORRECT ON THAT? >>ERIC COTTON: IT IS CORRECT. AGAIN, YOU ALL KNOW, BECAUSE ABBYE IS HERE EVERY FIRST MEETING OF EACH MONTH, TALKING ABOUT THE CODE UPDATE. THAT IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT THE CONSULTANT THAT WE HIRED FOR THE CODE TO DO A DEEPER DIVE INTO NOT JUST YBOR PARKING,BUT EVERYTHING IN OUR CODE. SO THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT AS A FUTURE AMENDMENT OR A FUTURE CHANGE IF NECESSARY. AGAIN, MAJOR DiFELICE IS HERE IF YOU WANT TO HEAR TPD STATISTICS. HE DOES HAVE STATISTICS TO SHARE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. IF HE HAS STATISTICS THAT SAYS THERE IS A CRIME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAID AND UNPAID I MEAN -- >>ERIC COTTON: LET ME GET OUT OF THE WAY. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. HOW ARE YOU? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> ERIC DiFELICE, TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT. MAJOR. SO SLIDE 12 IS THE ONE THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE PRESENTATION. THIS GOES BACK TO 2022. AT THE BOTTOM ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE WE SEE THAT CITY-OWNED LOTS VERSUS PRIVATE LOTS, THE CRIME OR DISPARITY BETWEEN THEM, WE HAD 38 CITY-OWNED LOTS AND INCIDENTS AND ON THE LEFT THAT COLUMN SHOWS ALL OF THE CRIME THAT WE WERE TRACKING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT'S CITY-OWNED LOTS. DO YOU HAVE PAID VERSUS UNPAID DATA? >> NO, WE DO NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION. WE HAVE THE DISPARITY BETWEEN CITY-OWNED AND PRIVATE OWNED LOTS. WHAT WE WOULD SAY IS THAT SOME OF THE PRIVATE OWNED LOTS UNPAID VERSUS PAID, SOME OF THOSE LOTS, MY UNDERSTANDING THEY ARE NOT OPEN FOR BUSINESS WHEN THE BUSINESS IS CLOSED, LIKE SAY A COLUMBIA RESTAURANTS, SIGNS PREVENTING PEOPLE FROM PARKING THERE AND PARTAKING IN THE RESTAURANT OR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. WHEN THEY CLOSE, TYPICALLY SOMETHING FOR A RESTAURANT, THEY CLOSE EARLIER THAN 3 IN THE MORNING. THEY ARE NOT ALLOWING PEOPLE TO PARK THERE. SO YOU DON'T HAVE THE USAGE AND THE CONGREGATION AND THE ASSOCIATED CRIMES. WHETHER IT BE A REGULAR CRIME, A TRUE CRIME OR A QUALITY-OF-LIFE COMPLAINT, WHETHER THAT BE LOUD MUSIC, EXCESSIVE PARTYING OR LITTERING, WE'RE NOT SEEING THOSE IN THOSE TYPE OF LOTS JUST BECAUSE THE NATURE OF THE BUSINESS. SOME OF THE LOTS THAT WERE DISCUSSED ARE SHERIFF LOTS DOWN THERE. CLEARLY WE'RE NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS IN ANY OF THOSE LOTS. SO I THINK THAT THIS ISSUE IS COMPLEX AND YOU HAVE TO REALLY DIVE IN TO SEE WHY WE'RE NOT HAVING THOSE AND WHY THERE WOULD BE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FOR-PROFIT VERSUS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT LOT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO, MR. COTTON, THE ISSUE WITH PAID VERSUS UNPAID AND THE BUSINESSES, IN THIS PROPOSED PLAN CHANGE, DOES IT ALLOW -- DOES IT HAVE ANY LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT WOULD RESTRICT THESE PARKING LOTS IF THE BUSINESS IS NOT OPEN? WOULD THEY BE CONSIDERED -- I MEAN, IF THE BUSINESS IS NOT OPEN, WOULD IT FORBID THEM FROM HAVING THEIR PARKING LOTS OPEN? >>ERIC COTTON: IF I OWNED A RESTAURANT AND THEN CLOSED THE RESTAURANT AND OPENED MY PARKING LOT JUST FOR GENERAL PUBLIC PARKING? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: EXACTLY. IS THERE A REQUIREMENT THAT THEY CLOSE THE PARKING LOT? >>ERIC COTTON: THERE ISN'T A REQUIREMENT IN THE CODE, BUT THAT WOULD BECOME A PAID PARKING LOT AT THAT POINT. MOVING FROM ACCESSORY -- GENERAL PARKING LOT, LET PEOPLE PARK FOR FREE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'M SAYING WOULD THEY BE REQUIRED TO SEAL IT OFF AND CLOSE IT IF THE BUSINESS WASN'T OPEN? >>ERIC COTTON: NOTHING IN THE LANGUAGE THAT WOULD REQUIRE THAT RIGHT NOW. WE DO HAVE AN OPERATIONS PLAN AS PART OF THIS AMENDMENT FOR PAID PARKING LOTS TO ENCOURAGE THAT WHEN THEY DO CLOSE. IF YOUR PRINCIPAL USE IS PARKING, AFTER A CERTAIN HOUR, LET'S SAY YOU CLOSE YOUR PARKING LOT AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING, 4:00 SUPPOSED TO FENCE IT OFF OR PUT SOME BARRIER SO PEOPLE CAN'T CONTINUE TO GO INTO THAT LOCATION. I KNOW A LOT OF THE PRIVATE PARKING LOTS IN YBOR DO CLOSE THEIR PARKING LOTS AT A CERTAIN TIME SO YOU CAN'T ACCESS IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE DON'T REQUIRE THAT. I'M SWELLING WIDGETS AND MY WIDGET COMPANY CLOSES AT 7 P.M., MY PARKING LOT DOESN'T CLOSE UNLESS I PHYSICALLY DO IT MYSELF. >>ERIC COTTON: THAT WOULD BE CORRECT. MOST PARKING LOTS HAVE TOW-AWAY SIGNS. NOTHING IN THE CODE SAYS YOU MUST SEAL OFF YOUR PARKING LOT. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: 38 TO 64, IS THAT THE COMPLAINTS ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC? >> NO, CITY-OWNED. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SAME THING. ONLY THING I CAN SAY A BIG DIFFERENCE IN, THE CRIMINAL MISCHIEF FELONY AND CRIMINAL MISCHIEF, LESS THAN $1,000. ON THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE. >> CRIMINAL MISCHIEF LESS THAN 1,000. FIVE FOR CITY OWNED. RIGHT. AND ONE FOR PRIVATE LOTS. FOR THE DISPARITY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: AUTO BURGLARY, THEFT FROM A MOTOR VEHICLE IS 17. HIGHEST ON THE PRIVATE LOT, CORRECT? >> CORRECT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. I THINK THE ANSWER FOR THE PRIVATE PARKING LOTS THAT CLOSE IS INSURANCE AND LIABILITY. THEY HAVE AN INCENTIVE TO CLOSE THEIR PARKING LOTS AFTER HOURS SO THAT THEY CANNOT BE USED BECAUSE IF THEY ARE USED, PEOPLE CAN SUE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS IN THEM. WOULD THAT BE ALONG THE RIGHT TRACK, MS. JOHNSON VELEZ? I SEE YOU'RE STANDING. I ASSUME YOU ARE LEGAL FOR THIS. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: LEGAL DEPARTMENT. I THINK THE PROPER DISTINCTION IS BETWEEN PRINCIPAL USE PARKING LOTS WHERE THE PARKING IS THE ACTUAL BUSINESS VERSUS AN ACCESSORY USE WHERE IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH A BUSINESS THAT MIGHT CLOSE AND PERHAPS MAJOR DiFELICE COULD TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT TPD CAN DO ON A PARKING LOT WHERE SOMEBODY IS PRESENT AFTER A BUSINESS IS CLOSED. SO THERE'S CLEARLY NO BUSINESS TRANSACTION TAKING PLACE BECAUSE THE BUSINESS IS CLOSED VERSUS A PARKING LOT THAT'S OPEN JUST FOR PARKING, THERE MAY BE SOME UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: I ACTUALLY DID WANT TO ASK MAJOR DiFELICE ABOUT, WE HAVE HEARD SOME RUMBLINGS ABOUT A SAFETY PLAN. YOU TOLD ME EARLIER THAT A SAFETY PLAN HAS BEEN DONE. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT? >> YES. WE HAVE COMPLETED A SAFETY PLAN SPECIFICALLY FOR YBOR CITY. IT'S ALL-ENCOMPASSING, DOESN'T JUST INCLUDE PARKING LOTS AND OVERALL SAFETY AND SECURITY PLAN. WAIT ON THAT. THAT'S ALREADY OCCURRED. >> YES. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR. >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, FOR YOUR PRESENTATIONS. WE'VE GOTTEN OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF FEEDBACK ON THIS. I THINK THAT WITH THE PARKING LOT ISSUES, IT'S A BALANCE. COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN HAS MADE SOME POINTS THAT I'M SYMPATHETIC TO. MY BIG THING IS MAKING SURE WE HAVE AS MUCH SAFETY AND SECURITY FOR FOLKS IN YBOR CITY AND WITH PARKING LOTS. IF THERE ARE REASONABLE THINGS WE CAN DO THAT ARE NOT ARBITRARY THAT DON'T OVERLY BURDEN A PROPERTY OWNER, I'M FOR THAT. I'M GLAD COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK% ALSO BROUGHT UP THE SAFETY PLAN FOR YBOR CITY BECAUSE I THINK THAT PROPERTY OWNERS ARE SAYING, LISTEN, WE'RE GLAD TO DO OUR SHARE, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ALSO HAVE THE CITY INVOLVED. AND, OF COURSE, THE CITY IS INVOLVED IN YBOR CITY ON PUBLIC SAFETY, BUT ALSO CARRY FORWARD BOTH CONVERSATIONS, WHAT PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS CAN DO WITH REGULATIONS AND THEN TO TALK ABOUT THE GREAT THINGS THAT TPD AND THE CITY IS DOING TO PREVENT CRIME AND TALK ABOUT VIOLENT CRIME IN YBOR CITY, ET CETERA. SO I THINK THOSE TWO THINGS HAVE GOT TO BE PUT FORWARD ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. I'M FINE WITH SOME REASONABLE REGULATION HERE. I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE BETWEEN PAID AND UNPAID PARKING LOTS. I THINK THAT FOLKS, PROPERTY OWNERS ARE WILLING TO DO SOME REASONABLE REGULATION, PUBLIC SAFETY IN YBOR CITY. BUT THEY WANT TO HEAR ALSO A CITY PLAN FOR YBOR CITY AND MAYBE THAT WOULD BE SMART FOR US TO HAVE TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS TO HAVE A BRIEFING FROM TPD SOMETIME IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS ON THAT ISSUE. JUST MY THOUGHTS. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T DISAGREE WITH ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SAID. I'M HAVING A HARD TIME FIGURING OUT AS A GOVERNMENT ENTITY HOW WE BASICALLY HAVE A RULE FOR ONE AND NOT A RULE FOR ALL. I WOULD GET IT IF WE SAID OKAY THESE PRIVATE LOTS HAVE TO BE GATED AND CLOSED. IF THERE WAS A REQUIREMENT THAT THEY WERE GATED AND CLOSED, THEN I WOULD KIND OF UNDERSTAND IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M MISSING HERE, BUT IT SEEMS WEIRD AS FAR AS PROPERTY RIGHTS AND WHY I WOULD IMPOSE SOMETHING ON ONE -- I MEAN, THAT PIECE OF ASPHALT, THE -- IN YBOR CITY. LIKE I SAY, I WOULD UNDERSTAND IT IF IT WAS GATED AND CLOSED THAT WE WOULD TREAT THEM DIFFERENTLY. IF IT IS JUST SITTING THERE WITH AN OPEN DRIVEWAY AND PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO PARK THERE, I WOULD THINK THE REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE THE SAME. >> IF I MAY JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARIFICATION, WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT THAT IS FOR PROFIT AS OPPOSED TO THE OTHER, ALL OF THOSE SPACES ARE TYPICALLY FULL ON A BUSY NIGHT IN YBOR AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE. IN THE OTHER ONE, IF YOU PARK THERE, YOUR CAR WILL GET TOWED AND WON'T BE THERE. LIKEN THAT TO SOMEBODY'S DRIVEWAY THAT LIVES TWO BLOCKS AWAY. IT'S OPEN, BUT YOU CAN'T PARK THERE. IT'S PRIVATE PARTY. DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO. BUT ON THE OTHER LOT YOU DO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I GET IT AND UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A REAL PROBLEM AND TRYING TO FIND THE BEST SOLUTION. WANT TO BE CONSISTENT AND INTELLECTUALLY CONSISTENT ACROSS THE VARIOUS PARTIES AGAIN AS THE GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY. I'M JUST NOT QUITE THERE YET. BUT I GET IT. I UNDERSTAND. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYTHING ELSE? COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: AT THE LAST MEETING, I MADE A MOTION RECOMMENDED BY MR. MICHELINI THAT WE DISCUSS A POSSIBILITY OF SAFETY AND SECURITY PLAN IN YBOR AND WE PUT IT ON SEPTEMBER 5. I CAN MODIFY THE MOTION LATER, BUT MAYBE TPD COULD JUST PRESENT THE PLAN ON THAT DAY INSTEAD. I ASSUME THAT'S WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE DONE ANYWAY. >>LUIS VIERA: I'LL SECOND THAT IF -- >>BILL CARLSON: JUST TO MODIFY THE AGENDA ITEM ON SEPTEMBER 5th REGARDING THE YBOR CITY SAFETY AND SECURITY PLAN TO CONVERT IT TO A PRESENTATION BY TPD. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? YES SIR. IS THERE MORE TO THE PRESENTATION? >>ERIC COTTON: THERE'S ONE MORE AMENDMENT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GO AHEAD. >>ERIC COTTON: THIS IS THE LAST AMENDMENT. SECTION 27-132. THIS WAS A MOTION FROM COUNCIL IN MARCH. THIS WAS TO ALLOW FOR THE SALE OF ALCOHOL FROM PROPERTY THAT'S SPECIFICALLY FOR A PROFESSIONAL TEAM, PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAM. THIS WOULD BE AN ANNUAL PERMIT THAT WOULD BE PROCESSED BY THE LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION OFFICE. THESE ARE BASICALLY PART OF A PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAM HAS TO BE ON PROPERTY THAT'S OWNED BY A GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY, MINIMUM OF 15 ACRES. SALE IS ONLY ON MATCH GAMES, WHATEVER DAYS, SCHEDULED GAME IS THE ONLY TIME THEY CAN ACTUALLY SELL THE ALCOHOL. ALL SALES OF ALCOHOL WOULD CEASE NO LATER THAN MIDNIGHT. IF THE ALCOHOL -- IF THE TEAM WERE TO STOP PLAYING OR MOVE TO ANOTHER LOCATION, IF THERE WERE ANY REMAINING TIME LEFT ON IT, THE ALCOHOL SALES WOULD CEASE TO EXIST. THE PERMIT WOULD BE REPEALED, SO TO SPEAK. IF IT'S ON CITY PROPERTY, IT'S GOING TO BE -- IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE THE MAYOR'S NOW FOR PARKS AND STUFF WHEN -- NOT CURRENTLY WET ZONED. THAT BRINGS US UP TO ALMOST WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW. THIS IS FIRST READING ON JUNE 27. DEPENDING UPON ACTIONS TONIGHT, IF COUNCIL MOVES ALL THE AGENDA ITEMS OR TEXT AMENDMENTS, THE NEXT READING WOULD BE ON JULY 18 FOR THE ADOPTION. WHEN YOU COME BACK FROM YOUR SUMMER BREAK. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYTHING ELSE, MA'AM? >> JUST WANTED TO MENTION ON THE SECTION RELATING TO THE ALCOHOL PERMIT, BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, IF WE GET TO THAT POINT, WE HAVE A SMALL TWEAK TO MAKE JUST TO CLARIFY IT IS AN ANNUAL PERMIT IN THE ORDINANCE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. I'M NOT AGAINST SPORTS TEAM OR ANYBODY SELLING ALCOHOL LIKE THAT, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME CONTRADICTORY, THE FACT THAT YOU ARE THERE WATCHING AN EVENT, THEY HAVE AN HOUR, TO SAY AT THIS HOUR WE STOP SERVING. AM I RIGHT OR WRONG? >>ERIC COTTON: THAT WOULD BE CORRECT. IF IT WAS A NIGHT GAME. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: -- WHEN THE GAME IS OVER TO SELL MORE ALCOHOL? >>ERIC COTTON: NO. IT'S ONLY DURING THE GAME ITSELF. I DON'T BELIEVE THE INTENT IS TO HAVE THE GAME END AT 4:00 AND KEEP -- >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: -- SIXTH OR SEVENTH INNING THEY TELL YOU LAST CALL AND FOOTBALL SAME THING. >>ERIC COTTON: IF COUNCIL WANTS TO MAKE THAT -- >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LIABILITY OF THE CITY OR THE SPORTS TEAM? >>ERIC COTTON: THE SPORTS TEAM. THEY HAVE TO CARRY INSURANCE. LIKE THE TEMPORARY B PERMITS COUNCIL GETS, WHEN IT'S ON PUBLIC PROPERTY, HAVE TO HAVE THE MILLION DOLLARS OF INSURANCE. THEY'LL HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME INSURANCE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? WE HAVE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE REGISTERED. I'LL GO DOWN THE LIST. IF YOU ARE HERE, STEPHANIE HARRIS BAILEY, DAVID BAILEY, COREY BROWN, FRANK RODRIGUEZ AND JENNIFER PACKING A BEN. ARE ANY OF THOSE PEOPLE HERE? STEPHANIE AND DAVID ARE HERE. AND ANYBODY ELSE? THEN COREY BROWN, FRANK RODRIGUEZ AND JENNIFER ONLINE. >> YES, CORRECT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I'LL START WITH THE IN-PERSON PEOPLE. I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE DUPLICATE NAMES. IF YOU ARE HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM, ITEM NUMBER 2, PLEASE COME UP. YOU'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. COME ON UP. YES SIR. >> GOOD EVENING. DAVID BAILEY. I LIVE IN HISTORIC YBOR CITY. FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING THIS AT AN EVENING SESSION. IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT FOR US TO PARTICIPATE DURING THE DAY. I GOT TO START WITH THE HEAD-SCRATCHER BECAUSE APRIL 18, WE CAME TO YOU. IT WAS CLEAR THAT WE WANTED TO MEET WITH ZONING TO TALK ABOUT THIS LANGUAGE. COUNCILMAN CARLSON OBSERVED THAT AND RECOMMENDED THAT ZONING MEET WITH US AND TWO AND A HALF MONTHS LATER, THERE'S BEEN NO MEETING. SO WE'RE VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THAT. WE HAVE SPECIFIC CONCERNS IN THE PROCESS AND WE WANT TO BE HEARD, AND WE GO TO A PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING AND WE FIND OUT THAT THEY MET WITH PARKING LOT OPERATORS BUT NOT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. SO THAT'S PROBLEMATIC. REGARDING THE LANGUAGE, ABSOLUTELY YES TO SECURITY IN THESE LOTS. YOU'VE SEEN THE DATA. YOU'VE HEARD THE DATA, AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE DATA THROUGH ANOTHER LAYER, IT'S ACTUALLY WORSE THAN IT LOOKS LIKE. WE'RE COMPARING PARKING LOTS TO PARKING LOTS. BUT WHAT WE SHOULD BE COMPARING IS PARKING SPACES. CENTRO YBOR PARKING GARAGE HAS OVER 1200 SPACES. THE NORIEGA GARAGE ALSO OVER 1200 SPACES. SO YOU HAVE THREE TIMES AS MANY CITY PARKING SPACES IN YBOR CITY THAN YOU DO THE PRIVATE PARKING SPACES AND YET THEY HAVE MORE CRIME. SO WE KNOW WHAT BAR THE CITY IS SETTING. THE CITY IS SETTING THE BAR FOR SECURITY. IT'S WORKING. THE CITY IS SETTING THE BAR FOR LANDSCAPING. IT'S WORKING. THE CITY IS SETTING THE BAR FOR FENCING. IT'S WORKING. WE SHOULD BE DOING THAT FOR THESE PRIVATE LOTS AS WELL. OUR ASSOCIATION HAS A SEAT ON THE CAC ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR YBOR CITY. WE TALK TO TPD ON A REGULAR BASIS AND MAJOR DiFELICE IS THERE AS WELL. AND PARAPHRASING WHAT WE'VE HEARD IS THAT THIS IS A PERSONNEL ISSUE. IF YOU HAVE TPD HAVING TO SCURRY INTO SOUTH YBOR AND DEAL WITH ALL THE TROUBLED LOTS, THAT'S TAKING VITAL PERSONNEL OFF OF CORE ISSUES, HIGHER RESPONSIBILITIES AND MORE IMPORTANT THINGS. FOR US, IT'S A NO-BRAINER. IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO MAKE SENSE. THIS CRIME AND THIS NOISE ARE SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH ON THE RECORD FOR 30 YEARS. RECENTLY WE DUG UP SOME 2007 MEETING MINUTES FROM A MEETING ON THIS TOPIC. AND WE SENT THESE TO COUNCILMAN MIRANDA AND IT GOES TO SHOW LIKE HOW LONG WE'VE BEEN DRAGGING OUR FEET ON THIS ISSUE. I ALREADY MENTIONED THE LANDSCAPING. LOOK AT THE ARTURO FUENTE PARKING LOT ON 3rd AVENUE AND 21st. I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY, THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL PARKING LOT, BUT IT IS. AND YET WE ALLOW THIS LAKE OF ASPHALT TO SIT WHERE THE BLUE RIBBON GROCER USED TO BE ON 7th AVENUE. IT'S DISGRACEFUL. TO SAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW THAT TO CONTINUE AND REMOVE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS IS BEYOND ME. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. ALL RIGHT. NEXT SPEAKER. YES, MA'AM, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> HELLO. STEPHANIE HARRISON BAILEY HERE, YBOR RESIDENT. I WILL TRY NOT TO ECHO AND BE REPETITIVE. I ALSO SUBMITTED A LETTER TO YOU ALL YESTERDAY GOING OVER LIKE THE SPECIFIC KIND OF LINE-BY-LINE CONCERNS THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS FOR THE PROPOSED CODE CHANGES. HOWEVER, WE ARE GENERALLY VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF THESE CODE CHANGES. SECURITY, LIKE DAVID SAID, IS A NO-BRAINER. BUT I THINK THERE'S THREE HUGE REQUESTS THAT WE FEEL LIKE REALLY NEED TO BE MET BEFORE WE CAN MOVE FORWARD. NUMBER ONE AS DAVID ALLUDED TO, WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO MEET WITH CITY STAFF SO WE CAN GET ON THE SAME PAGE BEFORE WE COME BACK FOR SECOND READING SO THAT WE CAN BE HERE IN FULL SUPPORT AND NOT HAVE TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS BACK AND FORTH ANYMORE. NUMBER TWO, WE REALLY REQUEST THAT THE CITY AUDITOR EACH AND EVERY PARKING LOT THAT EXISTS RIGHT NOW, NOT ONLY FOR ADHERENCE TO THE CURRENT CODE, BUT ALSO TO MAKE SURE IT'S LEGAL BECAUSE WHAT WE HAVE FOUND IS THAT OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, SINCE WE'VE BEEN DIGGING IN ON THIS, WE'VE PRESENTED LOTS OF LOTS TO THE CITY THAT THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW EXISTED. WE'RE JUST NOT CLEAR WHERE THESE LOTS LAND. AND IT SEEMS LIKE IN THE PROPOSED CODE, THEY ARE KIND OF GRANDFATHERING EVERY LOT IN AS BEING AS OF RIGHT AND WE'RE NOT REALLY SURE THAT'S CORRECT. LASTLY, WE REALLY, REALLY ASK THE CITY TO IMMEDIATELY BEGIN CREATING A PLAN FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE EXISTING CODE RIGHT NOW AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE CODE AS IT HOPEFULLY GETS ADOPTED AND UPDATED. YBOR HAS BEEN PLAGUED BY POORLY MANAGED SURFACE LOTS SINCE BEFORE 2000. THE CURRENT CODE WAS ADOPTED IN 2010, BUT PRACTICALLY NOTHING HAS CHANGED WITH THESE PARKING LOTS BECAUSE THAT CODE WAS NEVER ENFORCED. I HAVE TO ASK, WHAT IS THE POINT OF UPDATING THE CODE IF TAMPA HAS NO MEANS OR DESIRE TO ENFORCE IT? IT SEEMS SILLY TO GIVE MS. FEELEY AND ERIC COTTON THIS GIANT TASK FOR NO REASON. BUT I UNDERSTAND IT'S NOT ON THEIR DEPARTMENT TO DEAL WITH THE ENFORCEMENT SIDE OF THINGS. REGARDING THE CURRENT CODE AROUND PARKING LOT ATTENDANTS AND IN THE FUTURE HOPEFULLY LICENSED SECURITY, RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY BY CODE ENFORCEMENT THAT THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN PATROLLING OUR DISTRICT INTO THE WEE HOURS ON WEEKENDS. IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD NEED TPD PROTECTION. WHY? LIKE ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS CRUISE BY IN THEIR CAR. THEY DON'T HAVE TO GET OUT. THEY DON'T HAVE TO INTERACT WITH ANYTHING WITH THE PARKING LOTS. IT SEEMS LIKE IF IT'S ON US AS RESIDENTS TO LIVE IN THE AREA AND FEEL OKAY ABOUT IT, IT SHOULD BE ON CODE ENFORCEMENT TO JUST ENFORCE WHAT HAPPENS WITHOUT GETTING OUT OF THEIR CARS. I'D JUST LIKE TO RESPECTFULLY IS A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK DISTRICT, THE ONLY ONE IN TAMPA. WE SHOULD BE PRESENTING THIS NEIGHBORHOOD TO BOTH RESIDENTS AND VISITORS AS THE BEAUTIFUL HISTORIC JEWEL THAT IT IS. BUT RIGHT NOW, YBOR CONTINUES TO BE PLAGUED WITH TRASH-FILLED, POORLY MAINTAINED AND CRIME RIDDEN SURFACE PARKING LOTS WHOSE OPERATORS HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THEY DO NOT INTEND TO ABIDE BY THE CODE EITHER WHAT IS ON THE BOOKS NOW OR WHAT MIGHT BE IN THE FUTURE. I INVITE CITY COUNCIL TO START HOLDING RESPONSIBLE PARTIES TO ACCOUNT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? YES SIR. >> CHRIS CURRY. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUITY TO SPEAK COUNCIL. I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA PROVIDES PARKING AND DOES A REALLY GOOD JOB. THE PRIVATE PARKING LOTS THAT ARE OPERATING IN YBOR CITY ARE NOT DOING OR PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC IN A BETTER, FASTER, CHEAPER WAY THAN WHAT THE CITY IS DOING. THE LOTS COMPETE WITH ONE OF THE VERY FEW REVENUE STREAMS AND ALL OF THE RESIDENTS ARE ASKING FOR -- ALL THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR, ACTUALLY, IS FOR PRIVATE PARKING LOTS TO FOLLOW THE SAME STANDARDS AS THE ONE FOLLOWED BY THE CITY. COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN MENTIONED THAT A PARKING LOT IS A PARKING LOT. IT ACTUALLY ISN'T. PRIVATE NONPAID PARKING LOTS LIKE THE COLUMBIA ARE FOR PATRONS ONLY, LIKE MAJOR DiFELICE MENTIONED, IF YOU PARK THERE AND LEAVE, THE CAR GETS TOWED. PAID LOTS, ONCE YOU PAY, YOU ARE GOOD, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT BECAUSE YOU ARE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND NO ONE CAN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AS A RESIDENT, I CAN PERSONALLY TELL YOU THAT THE PROBLEMS THAT WE'RE SEEING, PARTYING, DRINKING, LOUD MUSIC, ARE NOT HAPPENING IN CITY-RUN LOTS FOR SURE AND THEY ARE NOT HAPPENING IN CLOTS LIKE THE COLUMBIA THAT ARE ATTACHED TO A BUSINESS. THE MAJORITY OF THE PRIVATE PAID PARKING LOTS ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE CURRENTLY WITH THE CODE IN TERMS OF ATTENDANCE, SIGNAGE, LANDSCAPING, ET CETERA. AND PROVIDING THESE BASIC MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ARE THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS. SHOULDN'T BE ASKING FOR THE CITY OR TAXPAYERS TO PAY FOR THINGS THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO DO I THINK WE SHOULD ALL BE ASKING OURSELVES WHAT MORE WE COULD DO TO ENHANCE YBOR CITY, NOT WHAT'S THE BARE MINIMUM THAT WE HAVE TO DO AND CAN WE GET AWAY WITH DOING SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THAT. THANK YOU, COUNCIL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. YES MA'AM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> HI. CARROLL ANN BENNETT. I THOUGHT I SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WAS READING THE VIRTUAL REGISTERED SPEAKERS. >> OH, ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. I JUST WANT TO SAY AS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THAN AND NEIGHBORHOOD LEADER THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAN HAS FOUGHT VERY HARD FOR IS FOR NEIGHBORHOODS TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE PEOPLE WHO IMPACT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, WHETHER THE BUILDERS DEVELOPERS CITY STAFF WHATEVER. IT'S VERY CONCERNING TO ME TO HEAR OF A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S HAVING SO MUCH TROUBLE ACHIEVING THAT. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. I DON'T WANT TO BELABOR THE POINTS. THEY STATED IT VERY WELL. IT SEEMS LIKE THE THREE ASKS ARE VERY, VERY REASONABLE. MEET WITH CITY STAFF, AUDIT EACH PARKING LOT AND OBVIOUSLY ENFORCEMENT. THE CITY KNOWS HOW TO HAVE SAFE PARKING LOTS. SO PRIVATE OWNERSHIP SHOULD NOT MEAN DANGEROUS OWNERSHIP. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING. STEPHANIE POYNOR. I CAN TOTALLY BELIEVE THAT STEPHANIE HARRISON AND HER FRIENDS FOUND EXTRA PARKING LOTS NOBODY KNEW ABOUT BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HOUSES WE'RE BUILDING IN THE CITY, WHY WOULD WE KNOW HOW MANY PARKING LOTS WE HAVE. UNIDENTIFIED LOTS, ARE THEY GOING TO BE TAXED ACCORDINGLY AND DO THEY HAVE A BUSINESS LICENSE IN THE CITY OF TAMPA? WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE ONE IF WE'RE A LANDLORD. IF YOU WERE CHARGING PEOPLE TO PARK ON YOUR PROPERTY, HOW CAN YOU NOT? IT SEEMS LIKE -- YOU KNOW, I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE. I HAVE ISSUES WITH RULES FOR THE CITY THAT NEVER GET ENFORCED. IF THERE'S TRASH IN THE LOTS, OH, MY GOODNESS, WHERE IS CODE ENFORCEMENT? IT'S PART OF THEIR JOB. YOU KNOW WHAT? IF THERE IS TRASH THERE AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING, GUARANTEE YOU IT'S THERE AT 7 AND 8 AND 10. I'M HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE THE FOLKS WHO ARE SITTING HERE WHO ARE PART OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION HAVE E-MAILED THAN REGULARLY REQUESTING THESE THINGS. AS A MATTER OF FACT I SENT THEM TO CHIEF BENNETT. GOT A RESPONSE FROM ABBYE FEELEY THAT WAS OKAY, BUT IT STILL DIDN'T HAPPEN. MEETINGS DIDN'T HAPPEN. THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN THIS SITUATION. AND THAT IS RATHER DISCONCERTING TO ME BECAUSE IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE THE EXPECTATION THAT WHEN THINGS LIKE THIS ARE TAKING PLACE THAT CITY STAFF IS SUPPOSED TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE MOST IMPACTED. I GET UP HERE AND I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, BUT I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PARKING LOTS NEXT TO MY HOUSE. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOODS NOT BEING ADDRESSED WHEN WE'RE CHANGING THE CODE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE CODE, YOU NEED TO MEET WITH THE NEIGHBORS. IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES SIR. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> STEVE MICHELINI. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF ACCARDI PROPERTIES. AS YOU KNOW, I SENT A COUPLE OF E-MAILS REGARDING PAID VERSUS UNPAID LOTS. AND WE DID A LITTLE DIAGRAM, WHICH I THINK WILL ILLUSTRATE WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THOSE REGULATIONS APPLY ACROSS THE BOARD. THE RED ARE UNPAID LOTS. GREEN ARE PAID LOTS. THAT'S ONE OF THEM. HERE'S ANOTHER ONE. AND YOU HAVE THESE. I'VE E-MAILED THESE TO YOU. YOU ALSO HAVE THIS. YOU CAN'T DISTINGUISH BETWEEN PAID AND UNPAID LOTS. THE REGULATIONS DO NOT APPLY ACROSS THE BOARD. CRIME DOESN'T STOP AT SOME IMAGINABLE PROPERTY VALUE, SOME PROPERTY LINE. WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, IF NOT MONTHS FOR THE SAFETY AND SECURITY PLAN. FIRST WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS ONE. THEN WE WERE TOLD THERE WASN'T ONE. AND I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT THERE IS ONE. BUT THAT PLAN HAS NOT BEEN PRESENTED OFFICIALLY TO CITY COUNCIL, NOR HAS IT BEEN SHARED WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS TO KNOW WHAT THAT SECURITY PLAN INCLUDES. THAT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE AND WHAT THE RULES ARE. IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY CRA FUNDS, THAT PLAN HAS TO COME TO CITY COUNCIL. AND THE CRA FUNDS, OUR RECOMMENDATION WITH DISCUSSION WITH STAFF WAS TO SUPPLEMENT TPD AND TO RELIEVE SOME OF THE PRESSURE ON THE GENERAL FUND, NOT TO HAVE THE OFFICERS PAY FOR IT, BUT THERE WERE OTHER ITEMS THAT COULD BE PAID FOR. I HAVE A COUPLE OF DOCUMENTS I'D LIKE TO HAVE RECEIVED AND FILED, WHICH I'VE SENT TO YOU AS E-MAILS. THE CPTED STANDARDS -- AND I'VE ALSO INCLUDED THAT IN THE E-MAIL -- THEY SAY THAT THE ISSUE IS TERRITORIAL. IT'S NOT SINGULAR TO ANY INDIVIDUAL LOT REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OF IT. AND IT HAS TO BE CONTROLLED BY THE TERRITORY AND NOT BY THE INDIVIDUAL -- INDIVIDUAL SPACE. THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE NOT OPPOSED TO THE LANDSCAPING OR THE BUFFERING OR THE FENCING AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT APPLY IT ACROSS THE BOARD. WE DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT BEING INDIVIDUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURITY. THAT IS AN AREA-WIDE ISSUE AND NOT A SPECIFIC PROPERTY ISSUE. WE TALKED ABOUT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT WE APPRECIATE THE MOTION FROM LAST WEEK FOR THAT CPTED -- I MEAN FOR THE SECURITY PLAN TO BE STUDIED AND PRESENTED. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, DON'T MOVE THIS THING FORWARD UNTIL WE HAVE A CHANCE TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. THE REGULATIONS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY VETTED, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, MY TPD TO EVEN DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT A PRIVATE SECURITY IS GOING TO BE ACCEPTABLE AND ADEQUATE TO PRESENT -- PREVENT SOME OF THE CRIME. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN AND COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I JUST HAD A QUESTION. THE MAPS THAT YOU PUT UP, DOES THAT -- THAT'S NOT THE ENTIRE BARRIO -- >>STEVE MICHELINI: NO, THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE EVERYTHING. IT INCLUDES MOST OF THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO 7th AVENUE IN AND AROUND 7th AVENUE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: INCLUDES ALL THE PROPERTIES THAT WOULD BE PART OF THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE. >>STEVE MICHELINI: NO. 21st STREET ON 7th AVENUE DOWN -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'M GOING TO ASK -- I WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE OUT THERE. >>LYNN HURTAK: MS. FEELEY GAVE US MAPS LAST TIME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OF UNPAID LOTS. >>LYNN HURTAK: OF ALL OF THEM. THAT WAS PART OF THEIR PRESENTATION. >>STEVE MICHELINI: THE COUNCIL HAS MADE MOTIONS THAT THE RULES SHOULD APPLY TO PAID AND UNPAID LOTS BEFORE, AND THEN WHEN ABBYE FEELEY CAME IN, SHE SAID WELL -- MY QUESTION IS, WHY SHOULD WE BE BURDENED BEFORE IT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. WE HAVE THREE MORE SPEAKERS. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I JUST WANT TO SAY, I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW FAR BACK IT WAS, BUT IT WAS SOMETIME 10, 15 YEARS AGO, I GUESS. GLORIA MOREDA WAS THE LADY WHO HANDLED THIS FOR THE CITY. I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN TAKE UP THOSE RECORDS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TALK FROM MEMORY FROM 10, 15 YEARS AGO. BUT IF I RECALL, ALL LOTS CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, FORGOT WHAT THE TIME WAS THAT THE CITY GAVE, SUPPOSED TO BE UP TO -- STANDARDS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT STANDARD WAS. THE ONLY WAY WE'LL FIND OUT, CHECK THE RECORDS THAT THE CITY HAS SOMEWHERE ON FILE AND GO BACK AND REVIEW THEM. WHAT HAPPENED. IT WAS TWO LARGE MEETINGS THAT LASTED FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME. IT WAS ABOUT CHANGING THIS, IN OR OUT. TWO OR THREE PROPERTIES GOT OUT. I DON'T REMEMBER ALL OF IT. I REMEMBER THERE WAS A CONVERSATION AND GLORIA MOREDA WAS THE ONE REPRESENTING ON BEHALF OF THE CITY, AND DURING SOME TIME OF THE CONVERSATION WHAT MICHELINI SAID IS RIGHT, THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BROUGHT TO SOME STANDARD OF HAVING IRRIGATION AND HAVING WHATEVER IT WAS AND SECURITY AND WHATEVER. BUT I'M NOT HERE TO SAY THAT I KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER ALL OF IT. WHAT SHE SAID, THAT'S GOT TO BE SOMEWHERE IN THE LIBRARY OR SOMEWHERE IN THE FILES SOMEWHERE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: SINCE WE'RE GOING TO TALK, I'LL ASK MAJOR DiFELICE TO COME UP. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. MICHELINI. DOES TPD HAVE THE RESOURCES TO POLICE THE ENTIRE, ALL OF THE PARKING LOTS? >> IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DO SUSTAINABLY OR PROBABLY BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. I THINK THAT WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND ONE OF THEM IS EXACTLY THAT. ARE WE ABLE TO HAVE THE MANPOWER PERSONNEL TO POLICE THOSE LOTS? WE AS THE EXPERTS IN CRIME ARE SAYING THAT THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH A SECURITY PERSON, WHICH WOULD BE AT A SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER COST, WHICH WE HAVE PROVEN THROUGH OUR SECURITY THAT WE HAVE AT OUR OWN LOTS THAT IS EFFECTIVE. SO COULD WE DO IT? WE HAVE PLENTY OF RESOURCES DOWN THERE NOW, AND WE HAVE A SAFETY AND SECURITY PLAN WHICH WE SAT IN THE ROOM ON THE 10th FLOOR AND MR. MICHELINI WAS PRESENT FOR IT AND WE WENT OVER IT. WE DID NOT RELEASE IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION. IT CONTAINS SENSITIVE INFORMATION IN IT. WE DO HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE, BUT IT DOES NOT AND WE ARE NOT IN HAD SUPPORT OF POLICE OFFICERS HAVING THAT ROLE. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. THANK YOU. THEN MAYBE YOU MIGHT WANT TO TALK TO COUNCILMAN CARLSON OFF-LINE ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IF IT'S A SENSITIVE DOCUMENT, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF IT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE TO THE PUBLIC. >> YES. >>LYNN HURTAK: DOES THAT WORK? >>BILL CARLSON: THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME OVERVIEW OF IT ANYWAY. IF WHAT MR. MICHELINI SAID IS TRUE, WE NEED TO PRESENT THAT IN SOME WAY TO GET CRA FUNDING. WE CAN ALL TALK ABOUT THIS OFF-LINE, BUT BESIDES LETTING THE PUBLIC -- WE NEED TO REASSURE THE P PUBLIC THAT WE HAVE SOME KIND OF OVERALL PLAN BUT THEN WE ALSO, IF THAT IS A SHOULD MAKE SURE WE CHECK THATE- BOX. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. MA'AM, DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK BEFORE I GO TO THE ONLINE SPEAKERS? >> YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME. I HAVE THREE REGISTERED SPEAKERS ONLINE. >> THANK YOU. MY NAME IS CLAIR FINLAND MAY. I AM A RESIDENT OF YBOR AND A MEMBER OF FIVE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IN YBOR. I'M HERE TO READ FOR REPRESENTING THAT -- THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS IS FROM NOVEMBER 1st, 2007 PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT, MR. MIRANDA REGARDING INTERIM PARKING AND ENFORCEMENT. DEAR MR. MIRANDA -- HOPE I'M SAYING THAT CORRECTLY. -- I HOPE YOU ARE WELL. AHEAD OF THE EVENING CITY COUNCIL MEETING TOMORROW, I HAVE BEEN REVIEWING THE HISTORY OF YBOR'S PARKING SITUATION AND FOUND THAT YOU APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN THERE FROM THE START. OR AT LEAST THE START OF THE CITY COUNCIL TRANSCRIPT RECORDS. IN REVIEWING THIS, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE CYNICAL NATURE OF THE PARKING LOT ISSUE IN YBOR -- AND THIS IS FROM 2007 -- THE CYNICAL NATURE OF THE PARKING LOT ISSUE IN YBOR AND THE FACT THAT INTERIM LOTS WERE INTENDED TO BE SUNSET. IN FACT, YOU STATE THE CONCERN IN A RECORD DURING NOVEMBER 1st, 2007 MEETING EXCERPT BELOW. RESPECTFULLY, THE TIME HAS COME. PLEASE HELP YBOR IMPROVE THE DISTRICT AND ENFORCE THE CODE AS IT WAS WRITTEN ALL THOSE YEARS AGO. BECAUSE WITHOUT ENFORCEMENT, THERE'S NO POINT IN WRITING THE CODE. THE REVISION TO THE CODE ARE RUSHED AND INTERIM LOTS YOU VOWED TO EXTRADITE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CODE ARE BEING RECATEGORIZED AS PERMANENT FIXTURES IN THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE RECONSIDER THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU REGARDING THE YBOR PARKING LOTS. MAY I MAKE A POINT? WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT PAID AND NONPAID. IT'S PAID WE ARE CONCERNED OF THE PRIVATE LOTS THAT ARE PAVED. THEY ARE NOT JUST IN A LUMP WITH THE OTHER PARKING LOTS. THEN IT GOES DOWN TO TALK ABOUT THE AGENDA AT -- I DO NEED TO READ ALL THAT? WOW. OKAY. MAYBE I SHOULD PUT IT HERE SO YOU CAN SEE IT. CAN YOU SEE? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THERE YOU GO. >> DO I NEED TO TURN IT UP? I AM REFERRING TO ALL OF THESE HERE. I WILL READ THE PART WITHOUT THE MINUTES AND THE THINGS SO I CAN GET THREE MINUTES IN THERE. SO ELOQUENTLY ADDRESSED BY MIRANDA. THESE EYE HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS. WE HAVE GIVEN THOSE INTERIM PARKING LOTS ALL OF THE LEADWAY AND THE ABILITY TO BRING IT UP TO THE STANDARDS OF THE CITY AND THIS HAPPENED BACK IN THE 1990s. OR EARLIER. SINCE TIME HAS PASSED, FIVE YEARS HAVE GONE BY ALMOST TWICE AS LONG AS FIVE YEARS AND THE SAME OL' THING. OLD DANG -- ANYWAY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU WANT TO ADD THAT TO THE RECORD AND WE CAN READ IT. >> I DO. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: JUST FOR THE RECORD. I NEVER MET THIS YOUNG LADY. SHE BROUGHT IT UP. TAKEN 15 YEARS AND -- >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THREE REGISTERED SPEAKERS ON LINE. CORY, FRANK AND JENNIFER. CORY, IF YOU ARE ON. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND GO AHEAD. >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS CORY BROWN. 1924 EAST 5th AVENUE. I AM AN YBOR RESIDENT. I LIVE APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET FROM ONE OF THESE OPEN PRIVATE LOTS THAT ARE FOR DISCUSSION. I AM ONLINE TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN ON THE 14th OF FEBRUARY, I WAS ASSAULTED BY AN INDIVIDUAL. I WAS COMING FROM THESE LOTS. I HAVE A -- TWO DAUGHTERS. MY WIFE THAT WERE HOME AT THE TIME. I AM EXPRESSING MY CONCERN BECAUSE SAFETY IS AN ISSUE. FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, MY WIFE WAS CONCERNED OF LEAVING THE HOUSE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE ARE NOT REALLY ASKING FOR MUCH. WE ARE ASKING FOR THE -- THE IMPROVEMENT AND ENFORCEMENT OF THESE CODES THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE BRINGING THINGS UP TO STANDARD AND ULTIMATELY JUST WANTING THE BETTERMENT OF THE AREA. YBOR IS A -- IS A POINT FOR -- THAT TAMPA CLAIMS AS -- YOU KNOW, AS HISTORIC. IT IS A POINT WHERE PEOPLE COME IN. AND THERE IS A LOT OF ACTIVITY HERE. AND SHOULDN'T BE A BLEMISH TO THE CITY. SO ULTIMATELY, WE ARE REQUESTING THAT THESE -- THESE BLEMISHES IN THE AREA BE BROUGHT UP TO CODE. THE BETTERMENT OF THE FACILITY IMPROVES THE SAFETY OF THE AREA. THE REQUIREMENT OF SAFETY FOR THE SECURITY. EXTRA SECURITY. IF IT IS THAT MUCH TO IMPROVE THE AREA. I DON'T THINK IT IS A BIG ASK. WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES THAT ARE PUT IN JEOPARDY. AGAIN, THESE THINGS DON'T TYPICALLY HAPPEN IN WELL-LIT, GUARDED AREAS. THESE LOTS THAT ARE OPEN, DARK, TUCKED IN THE CORNERS WHERE NIGHTTIME ACTIVITY HAPPENS. IT IS A NO BRAINER. YOU -- YOU PUT SOME MONEY INTO IT. BRINGS THINGS UP TO CODE. LESSEN THE TRAFFIC OF UNWANTED ACTIVITY. AND ULTIMATELY, IT BETTERS THE -- THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE NEIGH NEIGHBORHOOD. CRIME IS REDUCED AND OVERALL, THE AESTHETICS OF AN AREA ARE BROUGHT UP. THAT IS MY TWO CENTS. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. NEXT SPEAKER IS FRANK RODRIGUEZ. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, SIR. YOU ARE MUTED, SIR. PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF. >> HELLO, MY NAME IS FRANK RODRIGUEZ. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR. GO AHEAD. >> HI. THANK YOU NOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK, CITY COUNCIL. I AGREE WITH THE PUBLIC STATEMENT MADE FROM 717 ON A NEWS PROGRAM STATING THAT THERE SHOULD BE SECURITY IN PARKING LOTS. AND FOLLOWED THAT UP WITH THAT -- THAT THE -- THE PAID SECURITY SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE CITY, WHICH I THINK IS LUDICROUS FOR A PRIVATELY OWNED BUSINESS TO BE SUBSIDIZED BY TAXPAYERS. I LIVED, STUDIED AND WORKED IN YBOR SINCE THE 1990s BECOMING A FULL-TIME RESIDENT IN 2016. THE CITY HAS MADE MANY QUALITY-OF-LIFE IMPROVEMENTS. BUT DERELICT PARKING LOTS HAVE REMAINED UNCHANGED. BAFFLING THAT THE LOTS BETWEEN NUCCIO PARKWAY AND 21st HAS SEEN LITTLE OVERSIGHT UNTIL NOW. THEY REMAIN DILAPIDATED. THEY ARE -- LET ME JUST GO ON. YBOR CITY GEM. NOTHING LIKE IT IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. ONLY THING LIKE IT IS ST. AUGUSTINE AND THAT PLACE IS AS WONDERFUL AS YBOR. AND IT BAFFLES ME THAT WE CAN'T ADVOCATE FOR THIS AREA FOR THE RESIDENTS TO LIVE THERE AND FOR THE FOLKS TO VISIT HERE. YOU KNOW CORY GOT ASSAULTED. WHAT DOES THAT SAY OF SOMEBODY COMING FROM OHIO WALKING THROUGH ONE OF THESE LOTS? I DON'T THINK IT IS VERY GOOD P.R. BUT ULTIMATELY IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. AND IT IS OUR ISSUE. I LIVE ONE BLOCK AWAY. I AM NOT -- I AM NOT GOING TO SAY THAT ONLINE. I LIVE ONE BLOCK AWAY. I WALK BY THOSE LOTS. I AM NOT A PASSIVE OVERSEER. I SEE LOITERING. I SEE LITTERING. I SEE AFTER-HOUR PARTIES. DO GO OUT ON 7th AND ENJOY THE NIGHTLIFE AFTER HOURS AND I GO PAST THOSE PLACES AND I LOOKED UP RECORDS, PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ASSAULTS THAT HAPPENED ON THOSE PARKING LOTS -- IN THOSE PARKING LOTS. SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE A MEASURE TO ENFORCE THE NEED FOR SECURITY IN THESE PARKING LOTS TO MAKE OUR AREA SAFER, WHICH, I DON'T THINK IS THAT HARD. AND -- AND IF YOU DO YOU PASS IT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT IT NOT BE DELAYED. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OUR LAST REGISTERED ONLINE SPEAKER IS JENNIFER. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> HELLO. I AM JENNIFER EKLAND. AND I'M HERE BECAUSE I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PARKING LOTS NEXT TO MY HOUSE. I HAVE LIVED IN YBOR SINCE 2005 ON 4th AVENUE. AND I WANTED TO TONIGHT REPEAT THE ENFORCEMENT OF CODES. I WAS ACTUALLY SHOCKED TO LEARN THERE WAS ACTUALLY CODES THAT HAVE BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE 2010 BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN HERE BOTH BEFORE AND LONG AFTER. AND I HAVE NOT SEEN MANY OF THESE CODES BEING ENFORCED. SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE, WE HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO PARTYING UNTIL 3 A.M. A LOT OF RUN-INS WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE BASICALLY HANGING AROUND AND DOING THINGS THEY SHOULDN'T BE DOING. I DON'T NEED TO REPEAT THE TRASH SITUATION. AN ALSO THERE WAS ACTUALLY GUNSHOT DAMAGE TO CARS BEHIND OUR HOUSES IN OUR ALLEY. THIS IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE. AND WHAT IS A NATIONAL LANDMARK DISTRICT. THIS IS AN AREA THAT EVERYONE HAS THEIR EYES ON. THIS IS THE AREA THAT THE NEWS LOVES TO REPORT ON. AND THE WAY THAT THE CITY MANAGES THIS AREA REFLECTS HORRIBLY ON HOW YOU GUYS RESPECT PLACES THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN RESIDENTIAL AND REALLY IS CURRENTLY BUSHING FOR NEW INFLUX OF MAJOR -- YOU KNOW, RESIDENTS TO THE EYRE I CAN'T. WE REALLY NEED PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO THE RESIDENTS, AND WE REALLY NEED THESE CODES TO ACTUALLY BE ENFORCED. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU, MR. COTTON, CAN YOU BRING UP -- AND CAN YOU PUT UP THE NEW LANGUAGE FOR THIS? >>ERIC COTTON: THE NEW LANGUAGE? >>LYNN HURTAK: WHATEVER YOU ARE PROPOSING. BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT -- SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT -- SEVERAL MEMBERS TALKED OF THE REMOVING OF THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT. CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT. >>ERIC COTTON: YES, MA'AM. THERE IS A PROPOSAL -- AND WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE -- WITH THE BLC STAFF, AND THEY HAVE ROUTINELY SAID THAT THE LANDSCAPING IN YBOR DOES NOT OVER IT. ECAUSE PEOPLE TRAMPLE - IT IS BEING PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED WAS, WE ARE INCREASING -- LET ME -- REPEALING THE WHOLE SECTION. LET ME PUT THE LANGUAGE UP ON THE ELMO OR THE WOLF -- WHATEVER IT IS CALLED. WE WERE REPEALING THE LANGUAGE TO REQUIRE NOT AS MUCH LANDSCAPING ALONG THE RIGHT-OF-WAY BECAUSE WHAT HAS HAPPENED HISTORICALLY FROM WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT PEOPLE JUST WALK OVER IT. THEY DON'T WALK AROUND IT. THEY WALK THROUGH IT FOR WHATEVER REASON. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT IS INTERESTING BECAUSE AGAIN MULTIPLE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HAVE TOLD US TONIGHT THAT THE CITY'S LANDSCAPE LOTS ARE LOVELY. BECAUSE -- I MEAN, I KNOW AS I HAVE GONE THROUGH YBOR AND PARK IN OUR PARKING LOTS. I GENERALLY -- I GUESS I AM PAYING MY OWN SALARY BY PARKING IN THE PARKING LOTS, BUT I -- YOU KNOW, THERE IS A LOT OF GREENERY IN OUR PARKING LOTS. THEY ARE LOVELY. THAT'S WHERE ALL THE CHICKENS HANG OUT. I DON'T KNOW, I HAVE A THING FOR THE CHICKENS. SO I DON'T AGREE WITH TAKING OUT -- SO PERSONALLY, I WOULD -- MOVING FORWARD, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THE TREE LANGUAGE BACK IN -- OR THE LANDSCAPING. IT SAYS HERE. SO THIS IS THE NEW LANGUAGE. WHAT WAS THE LANGUAGE TAKEN OUT? >>ERIC COTTON: I WILL GET YOU WITH IN A SECOND. IT WILL BE THE STRIKE-THROUGH VERSION. >>LYNN HURTAK: YEAH. THAT'S FINE. >>ERIC COTTON: IT STARTS UP HERE WHICH -- AGAIN, APOLOGIES -- APOLOGIES FOR THE STRIKE-THROUGH. >>LYNN HURTAK: NO WORRIES. >>ERIC COTTON: DIFFERENT LOT SIZE. WHATEVER LOT SIZE IS THE KIND OF LANDSCAPE YOU NEEDED TO HAVE. A BREAKDOWN WITH THAT. THE CONCERN WAS GROUP A AND GROUP USE B. A PARKING LOT WILL BE A GROUP USE C ADJACENT TO A A, A SIX-FOOT MASONRY WALL OR A FENCE WHICH IS WHAT YBOR WILL LIKELY HAVE AND 15-FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER THAT IS REQUIRED BY CODE. THIS IS BASICALLY SAYING YOU WILL HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS. WHAT WE HAD OUR DISCUSSIONS AT THE STAFF LEVEL WAS THAT THE -- WAS THAT THE LANDSCAPING DOESN'T SURVIVE AS WELL IN YBOR. SO, THEREFORE, THE RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REMOVE THAT LANGUAGE AND NOT REQUIRE IT ON -- ON THE PARKING LOTS, EITHER INTERNALLY OR ALONG THE -- ANY LANDSCAPE WILL BE REQUIREMENTS. IRRIGATION, THEY CAN DO HAND WATERED VERSUS HAVING TO INSTALL, YOU KNOW, TYPICAL SPRINKLER SYSTEM. FOR THE -- BECAUSE THE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR YBOR CITY. AND APPEAR THREE-FOOT OR FOUR-FOOT FENCE IS ALONG THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. SIX TO EIGHT-FOOT FENCE WHERE YOU ARE ABUTTING THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. AND BETWEEN A BUMPER STOP AND THE FENCE, A MINIMUM OF FIVE NIGHT, BUT WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO BE PLANTED. IT CAN BE OPEN, BUT IT WILL STILL HAVE TO BE A FIVE-FOOT BUFFER. >>LYNN HURTAK: PERSONALLY, I WOULD ADD THE LANDSCAPING BACK WITH THE BUFFER. I THINK HAVING JUST FIVE FEET OF ASPHALT IS PART OF WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS COMPLAINING ABOUT. AND ADDS TO THE UNSIGHTLINESS. IF THAT -- I DON'T KNOW -- REQUEST -- SO I -- I MAKE A MOTION TO ADD THE LANDSCAPING BACK IN PRESIDENT FIVE-FOOT DISTANCE BETWEEN BUMPER STOPS AND FENCE AND THAT -- SO THAT IS MY MOTION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? HURTAK SHOURZ T-- >>LYNN HURTAK: SO THAT IS ONE I WOULD DO. BUT OTHERWISE, IT DOES SAY -- TO USE ADJACENT -- IS THERE A REQUIREMENT FOR THE PERCENTAGE OF GREEN SPACE ON A -- ON A PRIMARY USE PARKING LOT? >>ERIC COTTON: THERE ARE PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING STANDARDS. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. >>ERIC COTTON: FOR EVERY TEN SPACES YOU HAVE A PARKING LOT ISLAND AND STUFF LIKE THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: DO THOSE STANDARDS APPLY TO THESE LOTS? >>ERIC COTTON: NO, MA'AM. NOT REQUIRED AS OF RIGHT NOW WITH THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE. >>LYNN HURTAK: SO COULD I MAKE -- WHAT WOULD IT CHANGE -- I AM ASKING IF THE LAWYERS CAN HELP ME OUT A LITTLE BIT WHAT THIS WILL TAKE BECAUSE I WOULD REALLY PREFER NOT TO HAVE TO COME BACK FOR THIS. CAN WE JUST ADD LANGUAGE THAT SAYS THEY MUST COMPLY WITH THE -- WITH THE PARKING LOT LANDSCAPE STANDARDS? >>ERIC COTTON: THAT IS THE OPTION OF COUNCIL. >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM ASKING SOMETHING FOR LEGAL IF THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN SIMPLY ADD. >>DANA CROSBY COLLIER: DANA CROSBY COLLIER. IF YOU WANT TO ADD LANDSCAPING BACK TOOT PARKING, IT IS IN THE SCOPE OF THE TITLE. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADD THE CITY'S LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS BACK INTO THIS AMENDMENT -- THIS, YES, THIS AMENDMENT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SECOND. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED? >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. THE ONLY OTHER THING I ASK, I AM INCREDIBLY CONCERNED THAT IN TWO MONTHS' TIME, THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS NOT HAD A CHANCE TO MEET. >>ERIC COTTON: WELL, LET ME ADDRESS THAT. THIS IS AN E-MAIL THAT ABBY SENT ON MAY 31 WHICH WENT TO THE BOARD WHERE SHE SAYS -- SHE LOOKED BACK AT -- BECAUSE SHE HAD RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM THERE CURRIE AND A KNOWN CALL. SHE CALLED HIM BACK. HIS VOICEMAIL WAS FULL. SHE SAID SHE HAS NOT HEARD ANY CORRESPONDENCE SINCE APRIL. I DON'T THINK IT IS NECESSARILY -- SHE HAS -- SHE REACHED OUT. SHE STILL -- NOBODY HAS STILL CONTACTED HER TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE SINCE THIS E-MAIL WENT OUT. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. I THINK WHAT I AM GOING TO DO -- MY AIDE, MISS SHARPE IS HERE. I WILL HAVE HIS SHARPE REACH OUT TO ABBY'S SECRETARY AND HAVE US COME UP WITH A MEETING PLAN OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. DOES THAT WORK? >>ERIC COTTON: WORKS FOR ME. >>LYNN HURTAK: NOT FOR US -- NOT FOR ME, BUT I WILL BE THERE IF I HAVE TO BE, BUT TO LET THEM -- SO THAT WAY MY AIDE CAN HELP FACILITATE THAT MEETING. >>ERIC COTTON: I AM GOOD WITH THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A QUESTION OF THE STRIKE THROUGHS, THE FENCING REQUIREMENT STRUCK THROUGH AS WELL? >>ERIC COTTON: IT WAS MODIFIED FOR A SIX TO EIGHT-FOOT FENCE ON THE SIDE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WAS LOOKING AT THAT SAYING IT IS MODIFIED. >>ERIC COTTON: ONE OF THE THINGS WAS AN OPERATIONAL PLAN SECURING THE PARKING LOTS WHEN THEY ARE CLOSED. 717 INDICATED THEY ARE HOPE 24-7. I DON'T KNOW IF ALL THE OTHER PARKING LOTS ARE LIKE THAT. BUT IF YOU CLOSE THAT 3:00 IN THE MORNING BECAUSE WHEN THE BARS CLOSE AND PEOPLE LEAVE. YOU SECURE THE PARK LOT. IT WILL BE CLOSED OR BARRED SO PEOPLE CANNOT REASON IT TO BE ON THAT LOT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WANT -- FOR THE PEOPLE WHO SMOKE. I WANT TO CLARIFY MY POSITION ON THIS. I AM ABSOLUTELY SUPPORTIVE OF THE CHANGES TO THE REQUIREMENTS FOR YBOR CITY. MY CHILDREN THAT IT DIDN'T GO FAR ENOUGH AND WE MAY HAVE THINGS SLIPPING THROUGH OUR FINGER AND LOTS THAT DO NOT TECHNICALLY FALL WITHIN THAT A RAM PER TAMPA MY CONCERN WAS EQUITABLE ACROSS EVERY -- FOE SENSE PROPERTIES AND PROBLEMATIC AREA AND SOME OF THAT INSECURITY IN MY THOUGHT PROCESS WAS NOT TURNED STANDING WHAT PROPERTIES ARE HANGING OUT THERE THAT I AM NOT AWARE OF THAT WERE USED OR NOT USED FOR PARKING AND WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THOSE LOTS. THAT IS WHY HE ASKED OF THE CRIME STATISTICS IF WE HAVE AND LOTS HANGING OUT THAT THE - PEOPLE WERE USING AT NIGHTTIME IF THE CRIME STATISTICS HAD BEEN BROKEN OUT. I WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE THAT, BY THE WAY. AND SOUTH CAROLINA SOMETHING BROUGHT UP OF SECURITY AND CITY PAYING FOR IT. I AM NOT GOING TO SUPPORT THE CITY PAYING FOR PARKING LOTS AND GENERAL FUND. WE ARE NOT?THE BUSINESS TO SUBSIDIZE FOR-PROFIT BUSINESS BUSINESS. THAT IS NOT THE BUSINESS OF THE CITY HIGHWAY WON'T VOTE FOR THAT. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE? COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK TALKED ABOUT SETTING UP A MEETING. COULD THE DAILIES OR ANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD LEADER -- SHE AND I CAN'T TALK TO EACH OTHER AND YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT SHE SAYS BUT YOU CAN TELL ME IF A MEETING IS SET UP JUST TO MAKE SURE IT IS. IF I CAN HELP WITH THAT, I WILL BE HAPPY TO DO THAT. I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN SO IF YOU E-MAIL US THEIR WILL BE BEST TO STAY IN TOUCH. THE OTHER THING I WANT TO TELL THE PUBLIC IS THAT AROUND PARKING ISSUES IN YBOR AND OTHER LAND USE ISSUES. WE AS CITY COUNCIL HAVE SOME CONTROL OVER THE CODE. WE ARE LIMITED SOME BY THE STATE. WE CAN SET THE -- THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE CODE. WE HAVE SOME LEEWAY TO DO THAT. ONCE WE SET IT, SOME FOLKS HAVE ASKED ABOUT ENFORCEMENT. UNFORTUNATELY CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER ENFORCEMENT, AN ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY. WE CAN ASK AND ASK FOR ANY REPORTS ON IT AND USUALLY GOOD AT COLLABORATING WITH US. AND WE DON'T HAVE AUTHORITY OVER THEM. WE CAN ALSO SUGGEST INCREASING THEIR BUDGET IF WE THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE MORE FOLKS. THE SAME THING WITH TPD. REPORTS BACK TO THE ADMINISTRATION. MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES WE NEED AND PUSH TO FUND MORE POLICE OFFICERS WHICH WE HAVE DONE. ULTIMATELY THAT IS UP TO THE ADMINISTRATION. THE OTHER TOOL THAT CITY COUNCIL HAS IS THE CRA AND SOME OF ARE YOU INVOLVED IN THAT. THERE ARE MARKET FORCES REGARDING THESE LOTS. WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT ANY SPECIFIC ONES, I HAVE INTERFACED WITH SOME OF THE LANDOWNERS. I KNOW STAFF AT THE CRA HAVE INTERACTED WITH THE LANDOWNERS. ELISE, WHO IS -- UNFORTUNATELY LEAVING T --ALIS, WHO UNFORTUNATELY IS LEAVING THE CITY HAD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ACCARDIS AND COME UP WITH A MARKET INCENTIVE PROGRAM JUST LIKE WE ARE TRYING TO INCENTIVIZE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. FOR WHATEVER REASON, SOME OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS THINK IT IS BETTER TO KEEP IT AS -- KEEP THESE LOTS AS PARKING LOTS RATHER THAN DEVELOPING. NOT COMPLETELY AGAINST DEVELOPING, BUT SOMEHOW WE HAVE TO WORK WITH THE CRA STAFF AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STAFF TO TRY TO -- TRY TO CONVINCE THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT IT IS BETTER FOR THEM, AS WELL AS YBOR TO -- TO DEVELOP SOME OF THESE PROPERTIES. HOPEFULLY IN A HISTORICALLY ACCURATE WAY SOME OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN GOING TO ON AND UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE LOSING SOME OF OUR STAFF. WHEN WE GET NEW STAFF, HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO CARRY THOSE CONVERSATIONS FORWARD. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: IF NOTHING ELSE, I CAN READ THE ORDINANCE. >>ERIC COTTON: I HAVE THINGS IF COUNCIL WANT TO SEE THEM, I AM WOK THAT TOO. >>LYNN HURTAK: ORDINANCE FOR FIRST READINGK.

ITEM NUMBER 3. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: TAKE CARE, STE STEVE. THAT WAS AN EXCITING ITEM THAT SO MANY PEOPLE WERE THERE FOR. YES, MA'AM. >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. ITEM NUMBER 3, A PLAN AMENDMENT, TA/CPA 24-01. 2209, 211 AND 2113 WEST NORTH B STREET. RESIDENTIAL-20 TO RESIDENTIAL-35. IF THIS LOOK FAMILIAR, THE EXACT SAME SITE THAT YOU DENIED A REQUEST IN SEPTEMBER TO NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE 35. OUR PROCEDURAL MANUAL SAY THE APPLICANT CAN COME IN AFTER DENIAL WITH -- A ONE-YEAR HOLDING PERIOD FOR THE EXACT SAME REQUEST, BUT IF THEY GO DOWN IN A REQUEST, THEY CAN COME BACK. SO THEY TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION COUNCIL'S MOTION AND YOUR CONCERNS AND THEY ARE BACK WITH A LOWER REQUEST. A RESIDENTIAL-35 IS LOWER THAN WHAT THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ASKED FOR. THIS IS IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT. NORTH HYDE PARK NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WE ARE IN WEST TAMPA. SO IT IS ALSO BEEN THE WEST TAMPA URBAN VILLAGE. HERE IT IS OUTLINED ON NORTH B STREET. THIS IS NORTH ALBANY RIGHT HERE. NORTHWESTLAND. WE HAVE THE JCC, NORTH HOWARD AND KENNEDY BOULEVARD KIND OF TO THE SOUTH WHERE MY WHITE -- WHERE THE WHITE IS ON THE SCREEN AND THE NORTH ARMENIA. A VARIETY OF RESIDENTIAL USES ACTUALLY EVEN THOUGH THIS SIDE OF NORTHWESTLAND HAVE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35. SOME COMMERCIAL USE BUS A LOT OF POTENTIAL FOR SOME INTENSIVE PERSONAL USES. I HAVE SITE PICTURES. LOOKING EAST FROM THE SUBJECT SITE FROM WESTLAND. LOOK HAD ACROSS THE SUBJECT SITE OF NORTHWESTLAND. PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE SITE. LOOKING NORTH AT THE SUBJECT SITE. AND THEN FINALLY LOOKING NORTH TOWARD 211 WEST NORTH B. RESIDENTIAL-20 DARKER LIGHT COLOR. COMMUNITY MIXED 35 ACROSS THE STREET. JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35. RESIDENTIAL-35. AND THEN KENNEDY BOULEVARD HAS THE SECOND OR THIRD MOST INTENSIVE LAND USE IN THE CITY AT URBAN MIX 60. MOVING NORTH FROM THE CORRIDOR INTO THE NEIGHBRHOOD WE HAVE THAT TRANSITION OF LAND USE PATTERN FROM URBAN TO COMMUNITY LAND USE 357 TO RESIDENTIAL-20 AND THEN RESIDENTIAL-10 THE FURTHER NORTH WE GET. THE PROPOSAL TO RESIDENTIAL-35 I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT, COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 THAT ABOUT FACES THE SITE. SIMILAR DENSITY BUT THE RESIDENTIAL-35 IS MUCH MORE RESTRICTIVE WHAT AN APPLICANT CAN DO ON THE SITE BECAUSE IT IS REALLY A TRULY RESIDENTIAL CATEGORY WITH LIMITED NEIGHBORHOOD SERVING COMMERCIAL AND ALSO SOME RESIDENTIAL-35 DOWN TO THE NORTH OR SOUTHEAST OF THE SITE. THE APPLICANT ALREADY HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR 12 DWELLING UNITS OR 13,000 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL. VERY LIMIT IF IT MEETS THAT LOCATIONAL CRITERIA. WILL GIVE THE APPLICANT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR 22 DWELLING UNITS AND 60,000 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES, BUT, AGAIN, LIMITED BECAUSE IT IS A RESIDENTIAL CATEGORY. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE FORMATTING. GOT A LITTLE WONKY WHEN I WENT TO PRINT THIS AFTERNOON. OVERALL THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED CONSISTENCY ON THIS. OUR URBAN VILLAGES, THE GREATEST SHARE OF GROWTH TO THOSE AREAS AND SEEKS TO PROMOTE ACCIDENTS TEE OF SUPPORT TRANSIT AND THE MIX OF USES AND PROMOTION OF INFILL DEVELOPMENT WHICH THIS WILL DO BY INCREASING THE DENSITY EVER SO SLIGHTLY. WOULD YOU HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR HOUSING OPTIONS. SO WITH THAT, IT IS CONSISTENT. AND I KNOW EVAN JOHNSON WITH CITY PLANNING IS HERE AS WELL. AND THE CITY HAS NO -- NO COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY, NO QUESTIONS. IS THERE AN APPLICANT? >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCILMEMBERS. WILLIAM MALLOY, 325 SOUTH BOULEVARD. I DON'T KNOW IF I WANTED TO BRING THIS UP THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT BROUGHT IT TO YOU. CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG. ASKED FOR A MIXED AUTO US THAT COULD HAVE CG USES. THE COMMUNITY DIDN'T LIKE THAT. YOU AS A COUNT DIDN'T LIKE THAT. WE CAME BACK WHICH WILL BE A PURELY RESIDENTIAL ASK OF R-5. THERE IS A COMMERCIAL POSSIBILITY, WE DON'T INSTONED USE IT BUT MUCH MORE LIMITED THAN THE MIXED USE OR CC-35 THAN WE ASKED FOR PREVIOUSLY. I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND HAPPY TO GET YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS GO AROUND. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL NOT HAVING ANY QUESTIONS. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK? ANYONE REGISTERED ONLINE? MOTION TO CLOSE AND -- MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON. A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? OPPOSED? EYES HAVE IT. OKAY.

ITEM NUMBER 4, THE FIRST OF THE TWO ALCOHOL CASES IS AB 2-4-09, 226 SOUTH BOULEVARD ON BOULEVARD BETWEEN FIELDING AND PLATT. THE APPLICANT IS MARK BENTLEY WHO I BELIEVE IS REPRESENTED BY RYAN MANASSE TONIGHT. AND PROPERTY IS ZONED CG WHICH IS COMMERCIAL GENERAL. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A AB 2 FOR A RESTAURANT USE FOR BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR CONSUMPTION ON PREMISE ONLY. EXISTING RESTAURANT ON-SITE CURRENTLY WITH AN AB 1 APPROVAL. EXPANDING FROM 1026 SQUARE FEET TO ANOTHER UNIT IN THE BUILDING TO MAKE IT TOO TOTAL OF 2416 SQUARE FEET, ALL OF WHICH WILL BE INDOORS. THIS IS THE SITE. THESE ARE THE TWO UNITS THAT ARE HASH MARKED. PARKING TO THE SIDE AND BEHIND THE BUILDING. PROCESSING AN AB 2 BECAUSE THEY WANT THEIR HOURS CONSISTENT TO CHAPTER 14 VERSUS THE RESTAURANT REQUIREMENTS IN 27. OCCUPANT IS 58 AND THEY ARE COMPLYING WITH THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES. ASKING FOR TWO WAIVERS. ONE IS THE DISTANCE OF OTHER ALCOHOL ESTABLISHMENTS 250 FEET DOWN TO ZERO. THERE IS ANOTHER ALCOHOL LOCATION IN THE SAME BUILDING. AND FROM THE DISTANT FROM RESIDENTIAL ZONED PROPERTY FROM 250 TO 142 FEET. TWO CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE TO THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. SITE DATA TABLE TO SAY "FIRST FLOOR ONLY." AND SAME INFORMATION TO BE LABELED ON THE SITE PLAN ITSELF. I HAVE SOME PHOTOS OF THE SITE. BEAR WITH ME FOR A MOMENT. THIS THE -- THE FRONT VIEW OF THE PROPERTY. HE BELIEVE THEY ARE CURRENTLY IN THIS LOCATION AND THEY ARE EXPANDING TO INCLUDE THE SECOND LOCATION ON THE GROUND FLOOR. THE PARKING LOT IN THE REAR. THIS IS A VIEW OF THE PROPERTY LOOKING DOWN EAST PLATT. THIS IS THE SIDE VIEW ALSO ON PLATT. AND THIS IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE PARKING LOT TO THE EAST OF THE PROPERTY AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER THEM FOR YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO QUESTIONS. ANYBODY? NO? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE HAVE THE APPLICANT. HELLO, SIR. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING, RYAN MANASSE WITH JOHNSON POPE. IF CCTV CAN BRING UP THE POWERPOINT, I HAVE A BRIEF PHOENIX PRESENTATION AND TURN THIS IN FOR THE RECORD. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IT IS ON OUR SCREEN AND WILL COME UP MOMENTARILY FOR YOU. >> JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND WHY THIS IS COMING UP -- CAME UP QUICK. A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THE BUILDING. THE REQUEST -- MY CLIENT OPENED NOBLE RICE IN THE SAME GENERAL LOCATION AND SAME BUILDING WHICH QUICKLY BECAME A NEIGHBORHOOD FAVORITE AND EXPAND TO A LARGER LOCATION IN CHANNELSIDE. NOBLE RICE A MICHELIN RECOMMENDED RESTAURANT IN 2023 AND 2024. OUR CONCEPT -- AND REBRAND TO A NEW CONCEPT IN THAT GENERAL LOCATION WHICH WAS COJA, ANOTHER RESTAURANT FOR MY CLIENT IN THE BUILDING A UNIT OVER. AND THAT WAS RECEIVED THE DISTINCTION OF MICHELIN STAR ACTUALLY IN 2023 AND 2024. SO WHAT WE ARE BRINGING YOU TONIGHT FOR THE SUBJECT REQUEST IS ANOTHER LOCATION. AND ERIC ALLUDED TO THAT. MORE OF AN -- HE -- HE EXPLAINED IT AS AN EXPANSION, BUT A NEW CONCEPTS. NOBLE MARKET WAS THERE AND WE ARE PROPOSING A RESTAURANT CALLED COJA, ITALIAN JAPANESE FUSION AND TOMASHI I GUESS IN JAPANESE. A MINUTE EWE OF HAND-MADE PASTAS AND SMALL PLATES AND COULD BE TILES GO ALONG WITH THE FOOD. NOW TO THE BORING LAND USE STUFF, RIGHT. THE AERIAL ON SCREEN -- I DON'T HAVE IT ON SCREEN. AND ERIC ALLUDED TO THE PARKING TO THE NORTH AND AS WELL AS TO THE EAST. OUR PARTICULAR UNIT IS MOSTLY LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF WEST PLATT STREET AND SOUTH BOULEVARD. SO THAT MAIN CORNER. THEN YOU CAN SEE THE PARKING AREA AGAIN TO THE EAST AND NORTH OF THE BUILDING. IT IS A MIXED USE BUILDING. THERE ARE OTHER USERS IN IT AS WELL. THE SITE PLAN -- THE OVERALL AREA. AGAIN, WE ARE NOT -- TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION ITSELF, THE EXTERIOR IS NOT CHANGING AT ALL. THE PARKING IS NOT CHANGING. NOT CONSIDERED A CHANGE OF USE. THERE WILL BE NO NEW PARKING FOR CHANGING TO THE INTERIOR. INTERIOR MODIFICATION OF TWO UNITS TO EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT TO OUR CLIENT. AGAIN WE ARE REQUESTING A RESTAURANT, AND AS YOU KNOW THE RESTAURANT HAS TO HAVE FOOD CONTINUOUSLY SERVED DURING ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION. ZOOMING IN A LITTLE BIT, I OUTLINED THE TWO UNITS IN BLUE. ERIC ADVISED THAT THE AB 1 APPROVED IS ON THE TOP PART ALREADY AND THE LOWER PORTION OF THE UNIT WILL BE COMBINED WITH THAT TO MAKE THIS NEW CONCEPT. ONE OF THE REASONS WE DIDN'T DO ANOTHER AB 1. THE MAIN REASON, FOR A SPECIAL RESTAURANT IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, YOU HAVE TO HAVE 150 SEATS. AND WE HAVE AN OCCUPANCY OF 58. OBVIOUSLY HE A VERY SMALL BUILD -- SMALL RESTAURANT AND KIND OF FUNNY HOW THIS WORKS. YOU WOULD THINK THIS IS MORE OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL BECAUSE OF THE LOW OCCUPANCY. BUT BECAUSE WE DON'T MEET THAT THRESHOLD WE GET PUSH INTO A RESTAURANT FOR A SPECIAL USE 2. ERIC INDICATED WE ARE SEEKING HOURS CONSISTENT WITH CHAPTER 14 AS WELL. LET'S SEE -- SOMETHING TO ANNOTATE THE ENTIRE AB AREA IS INDOOR ONLY. NO OUTDOOR CONSUMPTION. NO OUTDOOR PAIR I CAN'T OF OPERATION. NOW TO GET TO THE WAIVERS. I THINK MY -- MY POWERPOINT WENT AWAY -- WHOOPS, THERE WE GO. WE ARE ASKING TWO WAIVERS TONIGHT FROM THE DISTANCE OF RESIDENTIAL AND AB SALES. THE DISTANCE TO OTHER AB SALES ESTABLISHMENT IS ZERO CONSISTENT WITH AB 1 AND COJA WITH A AB PERMIT AND IT IS ZERO. ALSO ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MEET THE 250 FEET AB SALES ESTABLISHMENT TO OTHER AB SALES ESTABLISHMENT IN THIS TYPE OF URBAN ENVIRONMENT THAT HAS A MIX OF ZONING DISTRICTS AND USES. ADDITIONALLY, WE BELIEVE THESE DISTANCES WERE IN PLACE TO MOSTLY AVOID THE CONCENTRATION OF BARS AND CLUBS AND OUR REQUEST BEFORE IS YOU A RESTAURANT. AS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL WAIVER, A MIXED FUSE ENVIRONMENT. THE ZONING IN THE AREA IS CONSISTENT OF THAT AS WELL. AND ALSO, THE PROPERTIES ALONG THE MIXED USE CORRIDOR. IT IS REALLY WHERE YOU WANT TO PRO MEET THESE TYPE OF USES. MY IS A GREAT CORPORATE CITIZEN, BUSINESS OPERATOR AND GREAT NEIGHBOR TO THE COMMUNITY. WE RECEIVED NO SOME SIGNIFICANCESES TO THE REQUEST EVEN BY CLOSE-BY NEIGHBORS. HE IS USED TO HAVING THESE TYPE OF AB PERMITS ISSUED WITH THE CITY AND BEING IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PERMITS AND BEING A GOOD CITIZEN WITH THEM. IN CONCLUSION, DISH GUESS IT WENT OFF SCREEN -- YOU SORRY, GUYS. I WILL JUST READ IT. WE BELIEVE THE -- THE REQUEST MEETS THE GENERAL STANDARD OF 27-129 FOR THE SPECIAL USE PERMITS THAT PROVIDES FOR A NEW RESTAURANTS AT THE LOCATION. NO CHANGES TO THE SITE. MAINTAINS EXISTING FOOTPRINT. LIMITED TO THE RESTAURANT USE AND WITH THAT CONSUMPTION ON PREMISE ONLY AND ALONG THE MIXED USE CORRIDOR BUILD AND SUPPORT THIS TYPE OF USE. WITH THAT, I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY, AND WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO AT THIS LOCATION, IT WAS -- I THOUGHT IT WAS A MARKET THAT WAS COMING SOON. NOW THEY HAVE ABANDONED THAT AND GOING WITH A RESTAURANT WITH WHAT YOU DESCRIBED? >> THAT'S CORRECT. THE AB 1 WAS WHAT WAS CALLED NOBLE MARKET AND THE SMALLER UNIT TO THE NORTH SIDE OF WHAT I SHOWED YOU. THIS WILL EXPAND AND BECOME A FULL-BLOWN RESTAURANT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO OUTDOOR MUSIC AND HOURS OF OPERATIONS? YOU ALREADY MENTIONED -- OKAY. >> YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT BUILDING HAS BEEN THERE FOR LONG TIME. NAME OF AN INDIVIDUAL DOWNTOWN THAT WAS AN APPRAISER OR SOMETHING. >> AN OLD BUILDING AND TO ANNOTATE MY POINT. NOT A CHANGING USE -- >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I UNDERSTAND. >> KIND OF COOL TO BRING THESE CONCEPTS INTO AN OLD BUILDING IN TAMPA. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: USED TO BE A GROCERY STORE AND MARKET 80 YEARS AGO. ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 4. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION TO CLOSE. >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

LAST ON THE AGENDA AB 2-24-0. 6102 SOUTH MacDILL AVENUE. AND THE PROPERTY WAS ZONED CG COMMERCIAL GENERAL. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING AN AB 2 FOR A SMALL EVENTUAL WOULD YOU BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR STEALS SORE CONSUMPTION ON PREMISE AND PACKAGE SALES FOR CONSUMPTION YOU HAVE PREMISE. AGAIN. TOTAL ALCOHOL REQUEST FOR 1642 SQUARE FEET. A BRIEF VIEW OF THE SITE PLAN. AGAIN, INTERBAY, MacDILL, PARK IS TO THE NORTH. STRIP CENTER -- EXISTING STRIP CENTER. THE ALCOHOL SALES. ASKING FOR THREE SEPARATE WAIVERS. ONE, DISTANCE FROM OTHER ALCOHOL ESTABLISHMENTS FROM 250 TO AND RESIDENTIAL ZONED PROPERTIES FROM 250 TO 265 FEET AND REDUCTION FROM 53 SPACES TO 43 SPACES. CHANGES INCLUDING THE SALES AIR WILL NOT BE LOCATED WITH MY PARKING OR LOADING AREA AND PERMITS ISSUED AFTER APRIL 1, 2011 SHOULD KEEP A COPY OF THE ADOPTED ORDINANCE AND SITE PLAN QUOTE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE. I DO HAVE SOME PHOTOS. AGAIN, THIS AN EXISTING STRIP CENTER. THE ALCOHOL CONCEPT WILL BE ON -- OVER HERE. THIS IS THE INTERSECTION. BE THAT LOCATION OF THE BUILDING. YOU CAN SEE THERE IS AN EXISTING RESTAURANT THERE NOW. AND JUST SOME -- SOME OTHER VIEWS OF THE PROPERTY. THIS IS LOOKING EAST AT THE SITE. THIS IS WEST OF THE SITE. AND THEN THIS IS THE VIEW FROM -- ANOTHER VIEW FROM MacDILL. COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? NO? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPLICANT? YES, SIR. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS TERRY HHALEY. I REPRESENT THE OWNERS OF WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE CALL THE S.O.G. OR THE S.O.G. CAFE. TO MAKE IT CLEAR, IT IS THE SOUTH OF GANDY CAFE IS CONFUSING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. ONCE YOU SAY THAT, IT IS NOT. WE ARE HERE REQUESTING AN AB 2 SMALL VENUE IN ORDER TO SELL BEER AND WINE ON PREMISE FOR CONSUMPTION AND ALSO OFF-PREMISE SALES TO BE CONSUMED OFF PREMISE. THE ESTABLISHMENT HAS BEEN IN OPERATION LITTLE OVER THREE YEARS. THEY ARE WELL KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITY. THEY HAVE A GOOD REPUTATION. IN FACT I HAVE SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO ENTER FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN. EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN TOLD WERE -- WE ARE IN 200% APPROVAL RATE OVER OPPOSITION BECAUSE I HAVE TWO APPROVALS. OKAY. ONE I GOT HERE TONIGHT FROM SOMEONE, LIKE I SAID. WOULD WANT TO ENTER THAT IN. AS FAR AS JUMPING RIGHT TO THE WAIVERS WE ARE ASKING, ONE IS FOR THE DISTANCE -- YES, DISTANCE OF THE OPERATION FROM ANOTHER ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE LOCATION. 22 FEET. THAT IS ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS IN THE CENTER. THEN IN BETWEEN WHAT I WILL CALL OUR STORE AND -- AND THE OTHER -- I WILL CALL IT -- THERE IS A NAIL SALON. SO THAT CREATES THE 22-FEET DIFFERENCE, OKAY. IT IS A MEDITERRANEAN RESTAURANT, BY THE WAY, OFFERING BEER AND WINE. OUR CONCEPT PRIMARILY A COFFEE AND TEA BREAKFAST DAYTIME BUSINESS WHICH WILL EXPAND INTO THE EARLY EVENING OFFERING SOME SPECIALTY SANDWICHES. IN FACT, THEY DO BRING IN SOME OF THE FOOD FROM OTHER VENUES THERE. BUT IT DOES HAVE A SPECIALTY NICHE TO IT. THEY -- THERE IS ALREADY AN OUTSIDE DECK. WE ARE PROPOSING TO EXPANDIT BASICALLY. IS GOES OUT 11 MORE PEOPLE. AND WITH THAT , NO DAMAGE TO TH ENVIRONMENT. NO TREES INVOLVED OR ANYTHING. THE RAIN WHEN IT GOES TO RESIDENTIAL AND THE INTERSECTION OF INTERBAY AND CANDY. CERTAINLY A MULTIPLE USE ENVIRONMENT. THERE ARE ALL TYPES OF RETAIL. THERE IS PROFESSIONAL BUILDINGS. THERE IS A -- A CHURCH THAT IS OUT OF THE RANGE. BUT LIKE I SAY, A POTPOURRI OF EVERYTHING. AND WE ARE JUST THERE. AND THE -- I THINK MOST RESIDENTS IN THAT COMMUNITY NOW ARE WELL AWARE OF THE COMMERCIAL TYPE BUSINESSES AROUND THERE. AAIN NO OPPOSITION BUT I THINK IT IS CONDUCIVE WITH THE AREA WHICH IT IS IN THE OTHER SWAFR FOR PARKING. IF I -- I DO HAVE SOMETHING TO SUPPORT IT. I HAVE COPIES -- IF YOU WANT COPIES, IRK ENTER THE WHOLE THING AND GIVE ANYTHING WHAT YOU WANT. I DID A LITTLE PRIMITIVE RESEARCH. AND CAME UP WITH CONCLUSIONS ON THE PARKING, OKAY. WHAT I DID WAS I TOOK -- I TOOK THE CENTER ITSELF. EACH INDIVIDUAL UNIT. WENT TO CODE. MULTIPLIED IT OUT. BINGO, BANGO, BONGO. I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT AT A 100% OCCUPANCY OF ALL THE DIFFERENT USES AND STUFF, WE COME UP WITH A DEFICIT OF 19 -- I THINK IT IS 19% -- YES, 19%. MY SUPPORT WILL BE THERE. I AM SURE EVERY BUSINESS, INCLUDING US, WISH WE COULD OPERATE ALL OF OUR HOURS AT 100%. BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. SO WHAT I DID ONE STEP FURTHER. AND AGAIN, I CAN PASS THESE OUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE I WENT -- I BROKE DOWN THE BUSINESS AND THE USE AND THE HOURS OF OPERATION AND I DID MY HASH MARKS AND WHATEVER. AND EXAMPLE -- THERE IS ONLY ABOUT THREE HOURS A DAY THAT IT WOULD OVERLAP INTO THE DEFICIT BECAUSE THE OTHER MILES PER HOUR THE BUSINESSES ARE CLOSED OTHER BUSINESSES ARE CLOSED AND WE HAVE PEAK TIMES OF RESTORATION. SO LOOKING AT THE OPERATIONS, THE HOURS OF OPERATIONS, ALL THE DIFFERENT SERVICES, PLUS THROWING IN THE FACTOR OF DIFFERENT MODES OF TRANSPORTATION WHICH ARE -- WHICH HAVE DEFINITELY IN THE MIX THESE DAYS. YOU HAVE RIDE SHARE WHICH -- I THINK MOST OF OUR BUSINESS COMES RIGHT THERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU ARE GOING TOO HAVE PEOPLE ON FOOT. YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE BICYCLES, THAT THEY HAVE A BICYCLE RACK TO ACCOMMODATE THESE. YOUR SCOOTERS ARE COMING. YOU DO HAVE MASS TRANSIT. AND WITH THAT, I THINK WE MORE ATLANTA JUSTIFY THE SHORTAGE IN PARKING. SO THOSE ARE OUR THREE WAIVERS. I DON'T KNOW IF I DESCRIBED THEM ENOUGH. WE ARE JUST A NEIGHBORHOOD INDEPENDENTLY OWNED SMALL BUSINESS. COULD YOU CALL US SMALL DOG TRYING TO GET A BONE AND SURVIVE IN THIS ROUGH ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT. AND WE CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE YOUR SUPPORT AND WOULD LOVE A POSITIVE OUTCOME OF THIS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION BECAUSE THIS ALCOHOL APPROVAL GOES WITH THE LAND AND NOT THE BUSINESS. WOULD -- WOULD YOUR CLIENT BE OKAY WITH PUTTING SOME LIMITATIONS TO ANY AMPLIFIED NOISE OUTSIDE AND/OR TIMES. WHEN ARE THE HOURS OF OPERATION? >> WELL, THE HOURS OF OPERATION CERTAINLY FELL WITHIN THE ORDINANCE. I SHOULD KNOW THIS. I DON'T. I WANT TO SAY 10 P.M. OR SOMETHING -- DON'T QUOTE ME. BUT CERTAINLY WE WOULD BE WITHIN THE ORDINANCE. OUR IDEA OF ANY MUSIC OR ANYTHING OUTSIDE WOULD BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. MAYBE AS EARLY AS, LIKE, 4 OR 5:00 IN THE AFTERNOON LET'S SAY ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON PROBABLY UNTIL ABOUT 9. AND US PUTTING IN WRITING OR WHATEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO PUSH FOR 10. BUT AS FAR AS PUTTING IT IN WRITING OR THAT BEING A REQUIREMENT, WE DON'T FORESEE THAT BEING A PROBLEM. >>LYNN HURTAK: GENERALLY WE ASK MONDAY THROUGH -- IS IT SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY UNTIL 11 P.M. AND THEN THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AT 12 A.M. >> THAT CERTAINLY -- IN FACT THE HOURS OF THE BUSINESS AREN'T EVEN THAT. THEY ARE PROPOSING THE LATEST HOUR BEING OPEN IS 10 P.M. OPEN AT ALL. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. SO MR. COTTON -- THAT IS WHAT I AM SAYING.
