THIS APPLICATION WAS FILED MARCH 22 2024. APPLICANT'S REASON FOR THE APPLICATION IS SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE ALLEY WAS ALREADY VACATED. APPLICANT OWNS ALL SURROUNDING LAND. THIS RIGHT-OF-WAY IS CREATED BY SUBDIVISION PLAT AND ACQUISITION. THE EXISTING RIGHT-OF-WAY IS APPROXIMATELY 4,875 SQUARE FEET. AND THIS IS WITHIN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY. HERE IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPOSED VACATING REQUEST. YELLOW FROM COLUMBUS TO AMELIA, AND THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY IN RED. THIS IS THE PLAT IN WHICH THE ALLEY WAY WAS DEDICATED. IN RED IS WHAT IS EXISTING OF THE ALLEY. GREEN WAS PART OF THE ACQUISITION TO EXTEND THE ALLEY IN THE PAST. THIS IS RIGHT-OF-WAY MAPPING ATLAS SHEET SHOWING THE CURRENT PROPOSED VACATING REQUEST IN RED. AGAIN, SHOWING PREVIOUS ALLEY VACATINGS IN THE PLAT ITSELF. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MARTY, WE SEE IT. >>ROSS SAMONS: THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH FROM EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE. THE ALLEY APPROXIMATE LOCATION IS HERE. THEN THE CURVE HERE. THIS IS LOOKING NORTH FROM AMELIA AVENUE. AGAIN, APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF THE ALLEY IS HERE AND IT GOES BEHIND THE BUILDINGS HERE. STAFF OBJECTS TO THIS VACATING REQUEST. EASEMENT RESERVATION REQUIRED BY TECO. SPECIAL CONDITIONS ARE NATURAL RESOURCES, COMPLY WITH CHAPTER 27 AS REGARDS TO TREE PRESERVATION AND SITE DESIGN FOR ANY IMPROVEMENTS PLACED ADJACENT TO TREES IN THE VACATED AREA. THAT ONE OBJECTION FROM STAFF IS FROM URBAN DESIGN, AND THAT'S DUE TO THE FACT TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY DISTRICT AND ALLEYS ARE ENCOURAGED TO BE USED FOR DESIGN STANDARDS. I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. WHO IS NEXT? >> TYLER HUDSON. ADDRESS 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. VERY FULL AND EXCITING AGENDA BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING. WE'LL TRY TO KEEP THIS PRETTY EFFICIENT. THIS PROPERTY MIGHT HAVE SEEMED FAMILIAR TO YOU BECAUSE IT'S IN SERVICE OF A PROJECT THAT COMPRISES THREE DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS. THERE IS A RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATING THAT I'M GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT NOW. THERE IS A PD THAT WE'LL SPEAK ABOUT NEXT. TWO PRESENTATIONS, TWO VOTES. BUT BACK ON SEPTEMBER 12, THERE WAS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT FOR THIS LAND AREA TO CHANGE THE SITE FROM CMU 35 AND U -- UP TO UMU 60 AND FROM R-35 UP TO CMU 35. SO THIS COUNCIL PASSED THAT UNANIMOUSLY ON SEPTEMBER 12. ASKED TO KEEP THESE THINGS TOGETHER. SOMETIMES THERE IS A PREFERENCE TO PRESENT THE LAND USE TOTALLY INDEPENDENTLY OF THE PROJECT THAT IT'S IN SERVICE OF, SO THAT'S WHAT WE DID. SOME OF THIS MIGHT SEEM FAMILIAR. ALSO IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, I'LL GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE THE PROJECT TEAM NOW SO FOR THE PD WE CAN GET SORT OF RIGHT INTO THE SUBSTANCE AND NOT INTO THE INTRODUCTION. THE DEVELOPER OF THE FRAMEWORK IS THE FRAMEWORK GROUP. WITH US THIS EVENING IS PHILLIP SMITH -- PROJECT CIVIL ENGINEER IS KIMLEY-HORN. THERE ARE A FEW OTHERS HERE. THE ARCHITECTURE FIRM HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE PROJECT SINCE THE BEGINNING. DARK MOSS IS ARBORIST. RICKY PETERIKA AND COLLEAGUE ALEX SCHALER IS HERE AS WELL. TALK ABOUT THE ALLEY, LITTLE UNUSUAL SHAPE. 15 FEET WIDE BUT THEN IT STOPS BECAUSE I BELIEVE ABOUT 40, 50 YEARS AGO, THAT BOTTOM PIECE WAS VACATED. THE CITY WAS ABLE TO ASSEMBLE THIS WONKY TURNAROUND AS YOU CAN SEE THERE. THE TRIANGLE PIECE IS ACTUALLY JUST A PIECE OF CITY-OWNED REAL ESTATE FOR WHICH THIS COUNCIL APPROVED LAND SALE CONTRACT. CONTINGENT ON ALL OF THE STUFF GETTING APPROVED OF WHICH THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF. BREAKS UP THE SITE. FACING FLORIDA AVENUE, LONG, LONG TIME AGO, REALLY EVEN BEFORE SOME OF THE -- THIS WAS PLATTED TO BE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES FACING FLORIDA AVENUE. THAT'S REALLY NEVER HOW IT DEVELOPED. THE BLOCK PATTERNS IN THIS PORTION OF TAMPA HEIGHTS ARE REALLY LARGELY THE RESULT OF THE VACATINGS THAT HAVE PRECEDED IT, WHICH ROSS ALLUDED TO. IN TERMS OF THE REASONS WHY TRYING TO HAVE IT VACATED, FIRST OF ALL IT CREATES A DEAD END. YOU CAN'T REALLY TELL THE ALLEY IS THERE BECAUSE IT IS ASPHALT IN A SEA OF ASPHALT. LIKE TRYING TO DISCERN DROPS OF WATER IN THE OCEAN. IT IS LEGALLY THERE ON PAPER. DOESN'T FUNCTION LIKE A NORMAL THRU AREA. FOUR-FIFTHS OF THE WAY DOWN, IT HAS A WEIRD HITCH. IT'S NOT USED AT ALL BY THE BUILDINGS FRONTING FLORIDA AVENUE, WHICH ARE COMPLETELY VACANT AND INOPERABLE. NOT THAT THIS IS ENORMOUSLY MEANINGFUL, THE SAME PROPERTY OWNER OWNS ALL OF THE LAND AROUND IT. WHILE THERE IS A STAFF OBJECTION THAT IS SORT OF IN A SEA OF NON-OBJECTIONS, THERE WAS AN OBJECTION AT ONE POINT FROM STREET MAINTENANCE BECAUSE IF YOU SEE THE WORD EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE ON YOUR SCREEN, KIND OF RIGHT UNDER THE E AND C, THE SIDEWALK IS REALLY STRANGE. IT IS A COMPOSITE OF SOME CITY-OWNED LAND AND SOME RIGHT-OF-WAY. WE ORIGINALLY INCLUDED THAT IN THE APPLICATION. CITY WANTED TO KEEP THAT FOR SIDEWALK. WE DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT. ONCE WE REMOVED FROM THE APPLICATION, I THINK THE STREET MAINTENANCE OBJECTION WENT AWAY. URBAN DESIGN POINT, I DON'T WANT TO BE DISMISSIVE OF THE NOTE. THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION WHICH REVIEWS AND RECOMMENDS TO YOU ALL THESE APPLICATIONS, THEY I BELIEVE IT WAS UNANIMOUS. THEY HAD NO ISSUE AT ALL WITH THE ALLEY. SEEN NO OBJECTIONS FROM ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS AT ALL ABOUT THIS ALLEY VACATING COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT. IT'S NECESSARY TO BRING REALLY ANY MEANINGFUL DENSITY TO THE SITE WHICH I THINK THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INVITES BASED ON THIS COUNCIL'S DIRECTION. I DON'T HAVE MUCH MORE TO SAY ON THIS. I'LL WRAP IT UP THERE BUT HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN? DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION? >> YES, SIR, IT DOES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT, THEN. ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER 1, JUST THE ALLEY VACATING? MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA, WOULD YOU MIND READING ITEM NUMBER 1. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ITEM NUMBER 1, ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA VACATING CLOSING DISCONTINUING AND ABANDONING THAT ALLEYWAY/RIGHT-OF-WAY LOCATED NORTH OF AMELIA AVENUE, SOUTH OF COLUMBUS DRIVE, EAST OF FLORIDA AVENUE AND WEST OF MORGAN STREET WITHIN THE PLAT OF NEVE BLOCK SUBDIVISION IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FLORIDA AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 2 HEREOF SUBJECT TO CERTAIN COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AS MORE PARTICULARLY SET FORTH HEREIN; PROVIDING FOR ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS; PROVIDING FOR DEFINITIONS, INTERPRETATIONS AND REPEALING CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. FOR THE ONES GOING FORWARD, THEY ARE QUASI-JUDICIAL. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK ON ITEMS 3 -- WELL, ANY OF THE ITEMS THIS EVENING, PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND WE'LL SWEAR YOU IN. SORRY. SHE IS GOING TO READ THAT QUICK. >>THE CLERK: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION HELD ON DECEMBER 5, 2024, 10 A.M. IN CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 315 KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LET'S SWEAR EVERYBODY IN THAT WILL SPEAK. [OATH ADMINISTERED] >> YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: GREAT. LET'S GO WITH ITEM NUMBER 3. YES, SIR, GO AHEAD. >>SAMUEL THOMAS: DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. REZ-24-52, REQUEST TO REZONE 205, 207 AND 209 EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE, 2301, 2303, 2307 AND 2315 NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE, 2407 AND 2006 EAST AMELIA AVENUE AND FOAL KNOW NUMBER 191,372.0000 FROM RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY 24 TO COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE AND COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT FOR STOREFRONT RESIDENTIAL, ALL CG USES. I'LL TURN IT OVER TO DANNY WITH PLANNING COMMISSION. >>DANNY COLLINS: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. DANNY COLLINS WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. I WAS SWORN IN. OUR FIRST CASE IS IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT, MORE SPECIFICALLY IT'S IN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE. WITHIN EVACUATION ZONE E. HERE IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. IT'S OUTLINED IN THE COLOR PURPLE. GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE AND NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE. AS YOU CAN SEE, IT IS PREDOMINANTLY NONRESIDENTIAL ALONG COLUMBUS DRIVE AND NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE. THERE ARE SOME RESIDENTIAL USES AS YOU MOVE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE INTERIOR TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. HERE IS THE ADOPTED FUTURE LAND USE MAP. AS YOU CAN SEE, PORTIONS OF THE SUBJECT SITE -- WELL, THIS IS THE OLD ADOPTED MAP. BUT THIS SITE IS CURRENTLY RECOGNIZED UNDER UMU 60 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY. SO THAT CATEGORY IS FOUND ALONG NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE AND UP ALONG EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE. INTERIOR TO THE SITE ALONG AMELIA AVENUE IS LAND RECOGNIZED YOU DID THE CMU 35 FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION. NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE IS PREDOMINANTLY DESIGNATED CC-35 AS WELL AS PORTIONS OF EAST COLUMBUS DRIVE AS YOU MOVE WEST ON COLUMBUS DRIVE, YOU HAVE PARCELS RECOGNIZED UNDER CMU 35 CATEGORY. AS YOU MOVE EAST, PARCELS RECOGNIZED UNDER R 35 AND RESIDENTIAL 10 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY. THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION AND DETERMINES IT ALIGNS WITH THE OVERALL GUIDANCE PROVIDED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE APPLICANT IS UTILIZING LAND USE POLICY 5.1.6 TO PROPORTIONALLY WAIVE THE FLOOR AREA RATIO AND USES THROUGH THE ENTIRE SITE THROUGH PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING. PROPOSED F.A.R. OF 2.74 IS CONSISTENT WITH INTENSITY ANTICIPATED UNDER THESE SITES WHILE UTILIZING THAT POLICY TO ENSURE CLARITY ON THE SITE PLAN. STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE APPLICANT INCLUDE A NOTE REFERENCING LAND USE POLICY 5.1.6 BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND. EMPHASIZES PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AND ENCOURAGES COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ENHANCES THE CHARACTER AND AMBIENCE OF THE CITY OF TAMPA, PARTICULARLY WITHIN MIXED USE CORRIDORS. IT ALSO PROMOTES THE CONNECTIONS OF BUILDING ENTRANCES TO PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND INCLUSION OF SIDEWALKS AND PRACTICAL AND FEASIBLE LOCATIONS TO SUPPORT PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY. PD PROPOSES 12-FOOT SIDEWALKS ALONG NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE AND WEST COLUMBUS DRIVE INCORPORATING STREET TREES WHERE FEASIBLE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY F.D.O.T. AND THE CITY OF TAMPA. THE DESIGN ALSO INCLUDES ENTRYWAYS THAT ACTIVATE THE STREETSCAPE. WHILE STREET TREES ARE CURRENTLY SHOWN AS CONCEPTUAL ON THE SITE PLAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF ENCOURAGES THE APPLICANT TO ENSURE THAT STREET TREES PLACED CLOSE TO THE SIDEWALK AS POSSIBLE DURING PERMITTING AND SITE DESIGN PROCESS. THE PROPOSED REZONING ALSO SUPPORTS SEVERAL POLICIES IN THE PLAN RELATED TO HOUSING THE CITY'S POPULATION. PLAN ENCOURAGES THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW HOUSING ON VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED LAND TO MEET THE CITY'S CURRENT AND FUTURE HOUSING DEMANDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY 1.1.17 WHICH DIRECTS THE GREATEST SHARE OF GROWTH TO THE URBAN VILLAGE. BASED ON THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, FINDS THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? NO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT. >>SAMUEL THOMAS: SAM THOMAS, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. WE'LL START WITH OUR AERIAL MAP PER USUAL. YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED ALONG COLUMBUS DRIVE, NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE AND AMELIA AVENUE. THE SITE IS WITHIN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT AND TAMPA HEIGHTS OVERLAY. THERE ARE THREE LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARKS WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE SUBJECT. THIS IS ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH HERE NOW KNOWN AS REDEEMER CITY CHURCH. HILLSBOROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH IS NOW KNOWN AS DW WATERS CAREER CENTER AND THEN THE ST. JAMES HOUSE OF PRAYER LOCATED HERE. SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE YOU HAVE CI USES AND RM 24 ZONING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PLACE OF RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLY HERE. @YOU HAX HERE. AS YOU MOVE SOUTH INTO THE TAMPA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD, IT IS A MIX OF SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED AND MULTIFAMILY. AS YOU GO TO THE WEST, CI ZONING, CG ZONING AND PD. YOU HAVE VEHICLE SALES AND LEASING HERE, RETAIL SALES AND THEN RETAIL SALES HERE. THIS PD IS REZ 22--- NO. THIS ONE -- OH, YEAH. IT WAS APPROVED FOR 252 UNITS UNDER STOREFRONT RESIDENTIAL NOT TOO LONG AGO. AS YOU GO TO THE NORTH, YOU HAVE CI ZONING AND PD ZONING AND THEN RS 50 ZONING. VEHICLE SALES AND LEASING HERE, MULTIFAMILY, AND THEN THIS PD WAS APPROVED FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, SEMI DETACHED AND ADU. ON THIS SIDE, MIX OF MORE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED, RS 50 BUT STILL MULTIFAMILY MIXED IN ALONG THERE. TO THE EAST YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL UTILITY TRANSMISSION SITE, CELL PHONE TOWER. RS 50 ZONING FOR THE SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED -- OR SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES HERE. TAMPA HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND THEN YOU HAVE SOME MULTIFAMILY HERE AND THEN SIMILAR MIX OVER HERE WHERE IT'S SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED WITH OLDER HISTORIC MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THAT WAS A FORMER JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL. >> [INAUDIBLE] >> WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE SITE PLAN. HERE IS THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING AROUND 247,000-SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING. AS DANNY MENTIONED WITH 2.7 F.A.R. THIS INCLUDES 208 UNITS AND 4,500 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL SPACE. YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL SPACE HERE AT THE CORNER OF COLUMBUS AND FLORIDA AND THEN ALONG FLORIDA AND THEN AT THE CORNER OF AMELIA, YOU HAVE UNITS HERE AND THEN MORE UNITS ALONG AMELIA THAT ARE WALK-UP UNITS. SOLID WASTE IS PROVIDED FROM COLUMBUS, AS LONG AS A LOADING DOCK IS ALONG COLUMBUS AS WELL. ACCESS TO PARKING GARAGE ALONG COLUMBUS DRIVE. SETBACKS ON THE NORTH ARE ZERO. ON THE EAST OR WEST ZERO. SOUTH IT'S ZERO. TO THE EAST YOU HAVE A 15-FOOT SETBACK AWAY FROM THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES. ALONG COLUMBUS, MAX BUILDING HEIGHT IS 89 FEET OR SIX STORIES. SAME FOR FLORIDA AND AMELIA AVENUE. ALONG THE EAST SIDE, SIX STORY OR FIVE STORY OR THREE FOOT HEIGHT MAXIMUM. 226 PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED AND 340 PARKING SPACES ARE PROVIDED. ALSO 25 BIKE PARKING SPACES THAT ARE PROVIDED AND 25 BIKE PARKING SPACES WERE REQUIRED. WE'LL GO TO PICTURES NOW. THESE ARE THE ELEVATIONS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH FROM AMELIA. THIS IS LOOKING EAST FROM SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. THIS IS THE NORTH ELEVATION FROM COLUMBUS, AND THIS IS THE WEST ELEVATION FROM FLORIDA AVENUE. THIS IS WITHIN THE SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD. THESE ARE THE SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED HOUSES DIRECTLY BEHIND THE SUBJECT SITE TO THE EAST. THIS IS ON AMELIA LOOKING TOWARDS FLORIDA AVENUE THAT WAY. THIS IS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE YOU WERE JUST LOOKING. THIS IS THE DUPLEX SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE. STARTS ABOUT RIGHT THERE AND THERE IS THE VACANT LOT I MENTIONED EARLIER. WE'RE MOVING FURTHER WEST NOW TOWARDS FLORIDA AVENUE. THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE HERE. THIS IS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SUBJECT SITE LOOKING SOUTH TOWARDS DOWNTOWN. THIS IS LOOKING AT THE SUBJECT SITE. YOU HAVE AMELIA RIGHT HERE. FLORIDA AVENUE RIGHT THERE. THIS IS LOOKING EAST BACK INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD FROM WHERE WE WERE JUST COMING FROM. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE. YOU HAVE THE METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES THERE. THIS IS LOOKING NORTH ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION WITH COLUMBUS. THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE HERE. THIS IS LOOKING EAST INTO THE TAMPA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE. AND THAT'S THE ALLEY THAT WAS VACATED. THIS IS MOVING FARTHER NORTH ON FLORIDA AVENUE. THESE ARE SOME OF THE CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES THERE, AND THEN THE INTERSECTION OF COLUMBUS. AND THEN THESE ARE SOME OF THE STRUCTURES ON THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY. WE HAVE NOW ROUNDED THE CORNER, UP PAST FLORIDA AVENUE. THIS IS ALONG COLUMBUS DRIVE LOOKING EAST. THIS IS ONE OF THE STRUCTURES ON THE SITE THAT'S CONTRIBUTING. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTHEAST ONTO THE SUBJECT SITE BACK BEHIND THE BUILDINGS. YOU CAN SEE THE UTILITY TRANSMISSION SITE THERE. MOVING FURTHER EAST ALONG COLUMBUS DRIVE, THIS IS THE PD I MENTIONED EARLIER FOR THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME AND SEMI DETACHED USES. THIS IS MULTIFAMILY HERE. MOVING FARTHER EAST, THIS IS THE END OF THE SUBJECT SITE. UTILITY TRANSMISSION TOWER THERE. THIS IS LOOKING BACK THE DIRECTION WE CAME WEST ALONG COLUMBUS DRIVE. AND THIS IS TAMPA HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. AND THEN HERE IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES TO THE EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE ON MORGAN STREET. I KNOW THAT WAS A LOT OF PICTURES BUT IT'S A BIG SITE. HERE IS A SITE PLAN FOR YOU AGAIN. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE STAFF FOUND THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT. SEE THE FINDINGS FROM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION, NATURAL RESOURCES, TRANSPORTATION AND ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION. TWO CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES COMBINED WITH PROPOSAL'S LACK OF EFFORT TO INCORPORATE ARC CONDITIONS OF PROPOSAL. NO PROPOSED HEIGHT TREES AND PROPOSED HEIGHT TO SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED HOMES INDICATES THAT THE PROJECT DOES NOT FULLY ADDRESS OR ADEQUATELY MITIGATE THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS WHILE FALLING SHORT OF CREATING A TRULY URBAN ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES WALKABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING STAFF FINDING OF INCONSISTENCY, SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE WAIVERS AS IDENTIFIED IN THE STAFF REPORT, MODIFICATIONS AS SHOWN ON REVISED REVISION SHEET MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. THE REVISIONS WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES OF ALL THE INCONSISTENCY FINDINGS. I HAVE A REVISED REVISION SHEET. STAFF FINDINGS ARE BASED ON THE LAST SUBMITTED SITE PLAN. I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO DENNIS FERNANDEZ WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION TO GO OVER THEIR STAFF'S FINDINGS AND ARC RECOMMENDATIONS. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY NO.STIONS?- MR. FERNANDEZ. >>DENNIS FERNANDEZ: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. DENNIS FERNANDEZ, ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION MANAGER. THIS EVENING I JUST WANTED TO BRING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION FOR THIS REQUEST. I WANT TO JUST SUMMARIZE THAT THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION FELT THAT A PROJECT WAS POSSIBLE AND ENCOURAGED IN THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION WHICH HAS REALLY BEEN A CHALLENGING AREA FOR NOT ONLY THE TAMPA HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT, BUT THE FLORIDA AVENUE CORRIDOR. THERE'S BEEN OTHER PROJECTS ALONG THE FLORIDA AVENUE CORRIDOR IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT WHERE THE ARCHITECTURE REVIEW COMMISSION FELT THE EXTRA MASSING AND DENSITY WAS APPROPRIATE AND THEY FELT IN THIS CASE THAT FOR THE MOST PART, REDEVELOPMENT WAS WELCOMED. HOWEVER, THIS PARTICULAR REDEVELOPMENT WAS CONDITIONED BY SEVERAL POINTS THAT THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION MADE IN ITS MOTION. I DO WANT TO REMIND THE COUNCIL THAT THERE ARE TWO CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES ON THE SITE THAT WERE APPROVED FOR DEMOLITION IN COORDINATION WITH THIS PROJECT. ALSO, THE COMP PLAN AMENDMENT WAS RECOMMENDED TO BE APPROVED AND THE ALLEY VACATING WAS RECOMMENDED TO BE APPROVED. I THINK YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE WAS A WILLINGNESS TO COLLABORATE WITH THE DEVELOPER WITHIN CERTAIN PARAMETERS. I KIND OF MARKED UP THE SITE PLAN A LITTLE BIT TO TRY TO EXPLAIN SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE BOARD MADE AT ITS JULY 10, 2024, PUBLIC HEARING. GENERALLY, THE COMMISSION SUPPORTED THE STAFF COMMENTS THAT WERE PROVIDED IN THE STAFF REPORT FOR THAT EVENING'S HEARING. THEY DID RECOMMEND GENERAL NOTE NUMBER 3 ON THE PROPOSED PD SITE PLAN BE AMENDED. I HAD HAD DISCUSSION WITH THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR NOTE. PDs CAN BE VERY CHALLENGING FOR THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION BECAUSE IT LOCKS IN SO MANY ELEMENTS OF DEVELOPMENT, SUCH AS SETBACKS, HEIGHT, THE GENERAL FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING THAT WHEN THE COMMISSION RECEIVES THAT BACK FOR THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS REVIEW, THEY ARE VERY RESTRICTED IN WHAT THEY CAN CHANGE. SO WE WERE LOOKING TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF FLEXIBILITY WITHIN THE ENVELOPE FOR THE BUILDING TO BE ABLE TO STEP BACK, STEP BACK HIGHER LEVELS, BREAK UP THE MASSING AND SCALE. THE BOARD WENT BEYOND WHAT THE STAFF RECOMMENDED. SO WITHIN THE YELLOW ENVELOPE OF THE PROJECT, THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDED THAT THE SETBACK AND HEIGHTS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN AND ELEVATION BE ALLOWED TO BE ADJUSTED UP TO 25% OF EACH BUILDING ELEVATION DURING THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS REVIEW PROCESS. THEY ARE SAYING OF THE 25%, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO STEP BACK OR CHANGE THE SETBACK WHICH OBVIOUSLY AFFECTS THE DESIGN AND POTENTIALLY THE HEIGHT OF A PROJECT. THEY ALSO REQUESTED THAT THE APPLICANT NOTE FOR THE APPROPRIATE TREATMENT OF THE GRANITE CURBS, THERE ARE GRANITE CURBS THAT SURROUND THE PROPERTY. I BELIEVE THAT WAS PRESENTED IN THE REVISIONS. I'M SURE THAT THE APPLICANT WILL COVER THAT WHEN THEY ADDRESS THE COMMISSION. THERE'S ALSO A RECOMMENDATION THAT ANY OF THE APPROVAL OF THE ARC BE CONTINGENT ON COUNCIL APPROVING THE VACATING AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT. THOSE ITEMS ARE NOW MOOT. THERE WAS A REQUEST, PARTICULARLY BEING SENSITIVE TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY PROPERTIES THAT EXIST ON THE EAST. THOSE ARE CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES. THEY WERE RELOCATED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER WHO I BELIEVE IS HERE FROM THE METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES SITE. THEY ARE RELOCATING. THOSE REHABILITATIONS FUNDED THROUGH THE INTERSTATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION TRUST FUND WITH LOW-INTEREST LOANS. WE OBVIOUSLY IN PRESERVATION HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT HOW THOSE PROPERTIES ARE PERCEIVED. THE COMMISSION FELT THAT THE SCALE AND HEIGHT AND PROXIMITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS INDICATED ALONG THE ORANGE HERE, JUST BETWEEN THE ALLEY AND THE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE WAS EXCESSIVE, AND THEY REQUESTED THAT THE SCALE OF THE BUILDING WHERE IT ABUTS SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES BE REDUCED TO THREE STORIES ABOVE AND ANYTHING ABOVE 35 FEET BEGIN TO STEP BACK ONE BY ONE. ONE FOOT FOR ONE FOOT. SO THEY WANTED A LOWER HEIGHT AND MORE SETBACK IN THAT AREA ABUTTING THE SINGLE-FAMILY. THEY ALSO REQUESTED THAT THE GRAND TREE THAT'S PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED BE PRESERVED EITHER ON-SITE OR THROUGH RELOCATION ON-SITE, EITHER THROUGH REDESIGN OR RELOCATION. THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW THE TREES ON THE SITE ARE BEING REMOVED. ALONG THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS OF COLUMBUS DRIVE AND FLORIDA AVENUE, THERE IS A REQUEST TO MAINTAIN A FOUR-STORY VOLUME ALONG THOSE TWO CORRIDORS, AND THEN STEP BACK 10 FEET FOR THE HEIGHT TO CONTINUE UP, TO BREAK DOWN HISTORICALLY IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT, YOU SAW THE PHOTOS. MAINLY TWO AND THREE STORY HEIGHT BUILDINGS AND THERE IS A DESIRE TO KIND OF MAINTAIN THAT SCALE, EVEN THOUGH ALLOWING FOR ADDITIONAL HEIGHT BEYOND THE SETBACK. THE LAST REQUEST WAS TO ADD A SIX-FOOT MASONRY WALL ALONG THE EASTERN PROPERTY LINE. I BELIEVE THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED ON THE REVISION SHEET. SO THERE IS A LOT OF DISCUSSION, A LOT OF CONDITIONS IN TRYING TO MASSAGE THIS PD TO ALLOW FOR REDEVELOPMENT THAT WAS SENSITIVE TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND THE CORRIDOR. THAT CONCLUDES MY SUMMARY. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: QUESTIONS? NO. APPLICANT. >> GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL. MY NAME IS NICK HERRING. EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT WITH THE FRAMEWORK GROUP. WE ARE LOCATED AT 1211 NORTH WESTSHORE BOULEVARD, SUITE 802 HERE IN TAMPA. WE ARE A TAMPA COMPANY. I HAPPEN TO BE A TAMPA NATIVE. SO I'M THRILLED TONIGHT TO PROPOSE TO YOU THE REZONING OF OUR DEVELOPMENT SITE LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF FLORIDA AVENUE AND COLUMBUS DRIVE IN TAMPA HEIGHTS. THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SITE. ASSEMBLAGE CONSISTING OF NINE ACRES. NINE PARCELS, JUST UNDER TWO ACRES. IT'S AN IMPORTANT INTERSECTION. IT'S AN IMPORTANT SITE. IT'S LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF TWO MAJOR ARTERIAL ROADWAYS. THERE ARE ONLY THREE MAJOR ARTERIAL ROADWAYS IN TAMPA HEIGHTS. AND THIS IS LOCATED ON TWO OF THEM. FLORIDA AND COLUMBUS AS I MENTIONED. THIS INTERSECTION AND THE SURROUNDING BLOCKS WERE ADOPTED IN 2002 BY A NEIGHBORHOOD STUDY AS THE TOWN CENTER, AS THE ACTIVITY CENTER. THE VAST MAJORITY OF CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD, INDIVIDUALS SUPPORT HIGH-DENSITY MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT WITH A SIGNIFICANT ADDITION OF HOUSING AT THIS INTERSECTION IN PARTICULAR. THAT'S LIKELY WHY BACK IN SEPTEMBER WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE UNANIMOUS APPROVAL OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT THAT ALLOWS US TO PROPOSE THE DEVELOPMENT IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT, WHICH INCLUDES A COMBINATION OF FIVE AND SIX STORIES, 208 APARTMENTS AND 4100 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL AND STRUCTURED PARKING GARAGE WITH 350 SPACES. NOW, THE PARTICULAR QUALITIES OF THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT I'LL DETAIL TO YOU HIT ON DOZENS OF OBJECTIVES OF LAND USE POLICIES. I WON'T READ THESE IN DETAIL, BUT TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT I'M DISCUSSING, THESE BOXES THAT WE'RE CHECKING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED, THESE LAND USE POLICIES REQUEST PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED AND HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT ALONG MIXED USE CORRIDORS WALKABILITY WIDE SIDEWALKS, RESIDENTIAL STOOPS, STREET TREES, UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES, PROMOTING TRANSIT USE, ENCOURAGING NEW HOUSING ON UNDERUTILIZED LAND, DIRECTING TRAFFIC TOWARDS MAJOR ROADS AND VARIATION OF MASSING, ARTICULATION AND OPENINGS WITH THESE NEW BUILDINGS, AMONG OTHER OBJECTIVES. AS WE TALK FURTHER, IT WILL ALSO BECOME APPARENT THAT THERE ARE SOME SPECIFIC REQUESTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE COULDN'T MEET. THERE WERE MANY REQUESTS THAT WERE, IN FACT, IN DIRECT OPPOSITION WITH ONE ANOTHER. BUT WE BELIEVE IT IS OUR JOB AS DEVELOPERS TO LISTEN, TO FIND COMPROMISE AS BEST WE CAN AND MAKE THE CASE FOR THE DECISIONS THAT WE'VE MADE IN PURSUIT OF A DEVELOPMENT THAT IS WIDELY BENEFICIAL AND ONE THAT WE CAN DELIVER IN THE NEAR TERM IMMINENTLY. HERE WE HAVE GIVEN YOU A CLOSER VIEW OF WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING. WE'RE PROPOSING OUR MAIN ACCESS DRIVE, INTERNAL LOADING, SERVICE ACCESS ON COLUMBUS. WE ARE GREATLY ENHANCING THE STREETSCAPE AND THE WALKABILITY AROUND OUR PERIMETER, STARTING WITH 12-FOOT SIDEWALKS, STREETSCAPE, THE ADDITION OF A PLAZA, THE ADDITION OF AN ARCADE. THESE ARE ON FLORIDA AVENUE AND COLUMBUS DRIVES. ADDITIONALLY, GROUND FLOOR RETAIL. ON OUR TWO MAJOR CORNERS REALLY OUR ONLY EXTERIOR CORNERS. THE CORNER OF FLORIDA AVENUE AND COLUMBUS DRIVE AS WELL AS SPEAKING OF AMELIA, HERE WE FOCUSED ON CREATING RESIDENTIAL COMPATIBILITY. AMELIA IS ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF OUR SITE. WE OPEN OUR COURTYARDS SOUTHWARD. WE ARE PROPOSING WALK-UP UNITS, URBAN STOOPS. WE ARE ALSO TRANSITIONING TOWARDS THE SINGLE-FAMILY TO OUR EAST WITH A STEP-DOWN IN THE BUILDING HEIGHT FROM SIX STORIES TO FIVE. WE'RE ALSO ESTABLISHING A 15-FOOT UNOBSTRUCTED LANDSCAPE BUFFER OR A SETBACK, AND THAT'S A MINIMUM IN MANY LOCATIONS LIKE WHERE THE NUMBER 6 IS SHOWN, WE'RE AS FAR BACK AS 20 FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. ADDITIONALLY, WE'VE COMMITTED TO INSTALLING THE 6-FOOT OPAQUE MASONRY CONCRETE BLOCK WALL THAT WAS REQUESTED BY THE DRC. TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW WE GOT HERE, EVERY ONE OF FRAMEWORK'S DEVELOPMENTS IS CENTERED ON IDEA. BRAND IDENTITY OR BACKGROUND STORY. WE START BY ASKING WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT A NEIGHBORHOOD TODAY AND IN ITS PAST AND WHAT CAN WE DRAW FROM FOR INSPIRATION TO MAKE OUR NEW BUILDING SPECIAL AND MEANINGFUL. TAMPA HEIGHTS WAS REALLY TAMPA'S FIRST PROMINENT RESIDENTIAL SUBURB. FROM THE 1890s TO 1920s, HEIGHTS WAS THE PLACE WHERE THE MAJORITY OF CITY'S SOCIAL AND BUSINESS LEADERS MADE THEIR HOMES. AND THEY WERE VERY NICE HOMES. 1900 TAMPA TRIBUNE ARTICLE SHOWCASED TAMPA'S BEST HOMES AND 70% OF THEM WERE IN THE HEIGHTS. 70% OF THE HOMES IN THE YEAR 1900 WERE IN THE HEIGHTS. BACK THEN, RESIDENTS OF THE HEIGHTS COULD STROLL TREE-LINED STREETS AND BOARD STREETCARS TO GET TO DOWNTOWN TAMPA OR TO YBOR. AND THEN THE ADVENT OF THE AUTOMOBILE ESTABLISHED FLORIDA AND OTHER AVENUES AS COMMERCIAL ARTERIES INTO AND OUT OF TAMPA AND INTO AND OUT OF DOWNTOWN. 1909, DR. NEVE, THE NAMESAKE OF THE NEVE BLOCK, HE WAS A DENTIST AND WATCHMAKER. HE DEVELOPED OUR PARTICULAR BLOCK FROM A SINGLE STORY FARMHOUSE INTO WHAT HE CALLED A COMMUNITY CENTER. THAT INCLUDED CLOTHING STORES, A GROCERY STORE, PHARMACY AND ICE CREAM SHOP, ICE CREAM FACTORY AND EVEN A SAUSAGE-MAKING FACTORY. MANY OF THESE BUILDINGS HAD RESIDENTIAL FLATS ABOVE. ALTHOUGH LIKELY NOT THE SAUSAGE FACTORY. SO WE TAKE THESE ORIGIN STORIES AND WE SPIN THEM TOGETHER INTO A BIG IDEA. THE BIG IDEA THAT I MENTIONED. YOU SEE IT COMING TOGETHER HERE. IT'S LOADED WITH INSPIRATION IMAGES, SOME HISTORIC, SOME CONTEMPORARY. IT'S COMING TOGETHER AS A VIBE AND A FEELING AND, OF COURSE, COLOR PALETTE ACROSS THE BOTTOM. IN THE DESIGN THAT WE PROPOSED, YOU'LL SEE THE 1920s AND 1930s ERA MERCANTILE ARCHITECTURE STYLES THAT CHARACTERIZE THE BUILDINGS THAT ONCE STOOD ON THIS BLOCK. WE'RE MAKING KEY ARCHITECTURAL MOVES SUCH AS ARCHED WINDOWS AND OPENINGS TO OUR ARCADE, THE USE OF M MASONRY AND USE OF MASONRY DETAILS LIKE BANDING AND COINING. HEAVY CORNICE ACCENTS AND PARAPET ORNAMENTATION TOO. WE MANAGED TO INCORPORATE THOSE INTO A HIGH DENSITY BUILDING THAT BELONGS IN THIS LOCATION. BUT WE BREAK THAT MASSING UP WITH A TIERED BUILDING DESIGN, COURTYARDS AND DEEP BUILDING RESOURCES AS WELL. RECESSES. EXCUSE ME. OUR COMMUNITY OUTREACH HAS BEEN EXTENSIVE AND FAR-REACHING. WE'VE BEEN AT IT FOR NEARLY A YEAR DATING BACK TO DECEMBER OF 2023. WE FOCUSED DISCUSSIONS, OF COURSE, WITH THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND YOU'LL SEE COMMITTEE HEARINGS, GENERAL MEETINGS, BOARD MEETINGS THAT WE'VE ATTENDED LISTED HERE. IT DOESN'T COUNT ALL OF THE COUNTLESS E-MAILS AND PHONE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD WITH DIFFERENT BOARD MEMBERS. OF COURSE, WE'VE DISCUSSED OUR PLANS WITH MULTITUDE OF COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS ONE ON ONE. WE KNOCKED ON DOORS. WE HANDED OUT FLYERS. WE HAD CONVERSATIONS. AS I MENTIONED AT THE TOP, WE WEREN'T ALWAYS ABLE TO SAY YES TO THE FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED, SOME OF THE REQUESTS WERE IN OPPOSITION. THEY WERE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. OTHERS INFEASIBLE. WE DID OUR BEST TO FIND MIDDLE GROUNDS. WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE IS A DEVELOPMENT THAT REPRESENTS GREAT COMPROMISE AND ONE THAT WE CAN COMMIT TO MAKING A REALITY IN THE NEAR TERM. SO LET'S GET INTO SOME OF THOSE DETAILS. WE WERE ASKED TO CREATE MORE NEIGHBORHOOD RETAIL. IN RESPONSE, WE ADDED RETAIL AT THE CORNER OF FLORIDA AND AMELIA. WE DEMISED AND WE MODIFIED OUR RETAIL ON FLORIDA AND COLUMBUS, WHAT WE HAD ALREADY PROPOSED, TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD USERS THAT INDIVIDUALS HAD EXPRESSED INTEREST IN. IS IT WHAT EVERYONE WANTS? NO, IT IS NOT. MAJOR CHALLENGE, WE HAVE LIMITED GROWTH SQUARE FOOTAGE TO WORK WITH AND WE NEED RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS TO MAKE THIS WORK. 208 APARTMENTS AS WE'VE PROPOSED HERE IS BARELY VIABLE. YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF APARTMENTS OF THIS SIZE BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE THE NUMBERS WORK, THE COST THAT IT TAKES TO RUN ONE OF THESE PROPERTIES MAKES IT BORDER LINE INFEASIBLE. I'LL MENTION TOO THAT WE STARTED THIS ENDEAVOR IN OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A SINGLE STOREFRONT AT THE CORNER OF FLORIDA AND COLUMBUS AND NOW BOTH POSSIBLE CORNERS FEATURE RETAIL, AS I MENTIONED. WE MODIFIED IT. DEMISED IT. WE STRETCHED AND ACCOMMODATED WHAT WE COULD IN RESPONSE TO THE FEEDBACK. WE WERE ASKED TO ENHANCE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE AND SAFETY. WE ADDED 12-FOOT SIDEWALKS. THAT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT OF COLUMBUS DRIVE. WE ADDED THE MID BLOCK PLAZA THAT'S SHOWN IN THE IMAGE HERE. WE ADDED AN ARCADE ON FLORIDA AVENUE. ALSO TURNS ON COLUMBUS DRIVE AS WELL. AND WE ADDED STREET TREES TO CREATE SHADE, A NICE RESPITE FROM THE SUN. WE'RE GRATEFUL OF THE DISCUSSIONS WE'VE HAD ON THE TOPICS. WE'RE HAPPY WITH THE CHANGES AND THE IMPROVEMENTS WE'VE MADE. I THINK WE MADE SOME INTERESTING PUBLIC SPACES, RESPITE FROM THE SUN AND HEAT LIKE I MENTIONED. ALL THE DIFFERENT SOURCES OF SHADE AND A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE FOR PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS TOO. WE WERE ASKED TO KEEP LOADING AND SOLID WASTE MANEUVERING OUT OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. WE STARTED WITH THE SITE PLAN SHOWN AT TOP HERE. WE ROTATED THAT LOADING INWARD AND CREATED AN INTERNAL DRIVE TO PULL THOSE SERVICES COMPLETELY OFF THE STREET, SOMETHING THAT WE WERE HAPPY TO DO. IT WAS EXPRESSED THAT OUR DRIVEWAY MAY BE TOO CLOSE TO THE INTERSECTION OF COLUMBUS AND FLORIDA. AND IN RESPONSE, WE SHIFTED THAT DRIVEWAY AS FAR EAST AS WE COULD, NEARLY 20 FEET AND WE RECONFIGURED THE ENTRANCE TO OUR GARAGE HERE. THE ORIGINAL DISTANCE MET CODE REQUIREMENTS. IT RECEIVED NO OBJECTION FROM THE CITY. REGARDLESS, IN RESPONSE, WE MADE THIS ACCOMMODATION. I'LL MENTION AGAIN WE INCREASED THE WIDTH OF THE SIDEWALKS ON COLUMBUS TO 12 FEET, WHICH WILL HELP VISIBILITY IN BOTH DIRECTIONS FROM PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS TO DRIVERS AND VICE VERSA. WE WERE ASKED TO FOCUS ON COMPATIBILITY WITH ADJACENT SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. BEAR WITH ME BECAUSE I AM GOING TO READ FROM THE LAND USE POLICY A LITTLE BIT HERE, BUT I THINK IT STRESSES THE BIG IDEA. LAND USE POLICY 2.1.2 SAYS USE LIMITED LAND RESOURCES MORE EFFICIENTLY BY ENCOURAGING INFILL DEVELOPMENT ON VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED SITES. POLICY 6.1 CALLS FOR THE TRANSFORMS OF MAJOR CORRIDORS LIKE WE'RE DISCUSSING HERE INTO A BROADER MIX OF USES THAT PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIGH DENSITY HOUSING WHILE ADDRESSING THE NEED FOR RETAIL AND SERVICES. IN THE BIG PICTURE, WE ARE DROPPING DEVELOPMENT DENSITY RIGHT ON THE BULL'S-EYE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AT THE INTERSECTION OF TWO COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS, TWO MAJOR ARTERIAL ROADS AT WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD ENVISIONS AS ITS TOWN CENTER, AT WHAT HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN ITS TOWN CENTER. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LAST FEW DECADES. HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD ONCE CHARACTERIZED BY RESIDENTIAL BUNGALOWS AND MAIN STREET RETAIL NOW DESIRES DENSITY AND AGREES THIS IS WHERE IT SHOULD GO. ALL THE CONVERSATIONS WE'RE HAVING, THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN, THIS MARRIAGE OF DENSITY WITH HISTORIC HOMES AND HISTORIC BUILDINGS IS NECESSARY. LAND USE POLICY 6.1.6 HOWEVER STRESSES THE NEED FOR COMPATIBILITY. I SUBMIT TO YOU THAT WE HAVE DONE THAT. WE HAVE PAID ATTENTION TO THAT THROUGH MASSING, HEIGHT, AND LANDSCAPING AS THE LAND USE POLICY REQUIRES. THROUGH HEIGHT AND MASSING, WE REDUCED PORTIONS OF OUR EASTERN WING, THE ONE SHOWN HERE, FROM SIX STORIES TO FIVE THAT HAS COMPLICATED OUR BUILDING. IT HAS MADE IT LESS EFFICIENT. MADE IT MORE EXPENSIVE BUT WE HAVE DONE IT. WE BROKE UP MASSING WITH ADDITIONAL TIERS AS WELL. REGARDING OUR SETBACKS, I MENTIONED 15-FOOT UNOBSTRUCTED LANDSCAPE BUFFER ACTUALLY IN EXCESS OF THAT IN SOME LOCATIONS. WE COMMITTED BUILDING SIX FOOT MASONRY WALL. AS A BONUS WE ORIENTED OUR COURTYARD SOUTH CREATING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTIAL STOOPS. WE DECIDED AGAINST PUTTING ANY COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC ON THIS STREET AND WE CHOSE COLUMBUS INSTEAD. REGARDING THE ARC, WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE SOME OF THEIR REQUESTS BUT NOT ALL. RIGHT-HAND SIDE LISTING ONES COULDN'T. ASKING TONIGHT TO SOLIDIFY THE BUILDING MASSING AND SETBACKS BECAUSE WE NEED FINALITY WITH RESPECT TO OUR DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE UNIT COUNT. BUILDING HEIGHT REDUCTION I ALREADY TALKED ABOUT. TEN FOOT SETBACK REQUESTED BY THE ARC IS IN DIRECT OPPOSITION OF MUCH OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, INDIVIDUALS WHO ENCOURAGE US TO CONCENTRATE MASSING AND BUILDING HEIGHT, SPECIFICALLY ON FLORIDA, UP TO 7, 8 PLUS STORIES. THAT'S DIRECTLY OPPOSED AND, OF COURSE, WE ARE PROPOSING THE SIX STORY BUILDING ALONG THAT ELEVATION. LASTLY, THE TWO WAIVERS THAT WE HAVE REQUESTED, ONE IS FOR TREE RETENTION AS A JUSTIFICATION, WE'RE PROVIDING ONE AND A HALF TIMES THE GREENSPACE REQUIRED. REGARDING LOADING BERTHS, WE ARE PROPOSING TWO LOADING BERTHS AS REQUIRED. ONE IS MEANT -- REQUESTED TO BE 12 BY 60. WE'RE PROVIDING 12 BY 30. THIS IS COMMON OF URBAN MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENTS OF THIS SIZE. AGAIN, IT'S OFF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME OUT AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS TOPIC. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. THERE ARE TWO POINTS THAT CONCERN ME MOST OF ALL, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT VIABILITY, MAKING THE NUMBERS. I UNDERSTAND YOUR STACK. YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE IT WORK, BUT WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IN THAT IS THAT IF I'M CORRECT AND I DIDN'T GET THE EXACT NUMBER, YOU'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE 200 SOME ODD PARKING SPACES AND YOU HAVE CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN THAT. I KNOW THAT THE COST OF AN INDIVIDUAL PARKING SPACE FOR STRUCTURED PARKING IS LIKE $50,000 A SPACE. SO IN RESPECT TO THAT, YOU'RE KIND OF DOING IT TO YOURSELF WHEN YOU'RE ADDING TOO MUCH PARKING. AND YOU HAVE TOO MUCH PARKING. AND IF YOU BELIEVE YOU NEED THAT MUCH PARKING, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I COMPLETELY DON'T UNDERSTAND, IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING WITH MAKING THIS WORK FINANCIALLY, BUT YET YOU'RE ADDING WHAT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART OF BUILDING THIS. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY YOU HAVE SO MUCH MORE PARKING? >> SURE, SURE. SO WE HAVE A DEVELOPMENT PORTFOLIO CONSISTING OF THOUSANDS OF UNITS ACROSS THE STATE, 1500 OR SO HERE IN TAMPA. OUR EXPERIENCE TELLS US THAT WE NEED TO CREATE BASICALLY A SCIENTIFIC CALCULATION OF HOW MANY PARKING SPACES WE HAVE FOR STUDIO, ONE BEDROOM, TWO AND THREE. WE RUN THE NUMBERS. THAT GETS TO US 340 PARKING SPACES FOR THE APARTMENTS. THAT'S 1.63 PARKING RATIO. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. PARKING IS EXPENSIVE. WE DON'T WANT TO BUILD IT IF WE DON'T HAVE TO BUT WE FEEL WE HAVE TO BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE, BASED ON THE LOCATION, THE BEDROOM/BATHROOM COUNT, TENANT PROFILE. WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO CREATE ISSUES FOR THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD. WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO UNDERPARK THIS AND HAVE RESIDENTS PARK WHEREVER THEY WANT. WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID THAT TOO. ON THE SUBJECT OF FEASIBILITY, AS YOU MENTIONED, THE SCIENTIFIC SORT OF APPROACH, THE CALCULATION OF SPACES PER BEDROOM, THIS IS WHAT IS EXPECTED OF US WHEN IT COMES TO DISCUSSIONS WITH INVESTORS, WITH THE LENDER. WE CAN'T PROPOSE SOMETHING THAT IS AN OUTLIER, ONE SPACE PER UNIT OR ON THE OTHER SIDE, TWO AND A HALF SPACES PER UNIT. IT HAS TO MAKE LOGICAL SENSE. OUR EXPERIENCE TELLS US THIS MAKES LOGICAL SENSE AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE WITH OUR LEASING PERFORMANCE. NOT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE WITH OUR RETENTION. IT'S GOING TO BE FUNCTIONAL. IF IN THE FUTURE WE DON'T NEED THESE SPACES, WE'LL FIND ALTERNATIVES IF WE HAVE TO. PARKING FOR OTHER BUSINESSES AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. BUT FOR NOW, GIVEN OUR EXPERIENCE, THIS IS WHAT'S REQUIRED. >>LYNN HURTAK: SECONDLY, HOW OFTEN DO YOU TRAVERSE FLORIDA AVENUE AROUND 5 P.M.? >> NOT ALL THAT FREQUENTLY PERSONALLY. >>LYNN HURTAK: WELL, IF YOU DID -- IF YOU HAVEN'T TRAVERSED THAT, FLORIDA AVENUE AT COLUMBUS AT 5 P.M. IS ABSOLUTELY GRIDLOCKED. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT AN INGRESS AND EGRESS EVEN A HUNDRED FEET PAST THAT. I MEAN, IT'S GRIDLOCK NOW WITH NOTHING THERE. I'M CURIOUS WHY YOU CHOSE NOT TO PUT IT ON AMELIA, WHICH MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE. I KNOW COLUMBUS ISN'T AN F.D.O.T. ROAD, OTHERWISE F.D.O.T. WOULDN'T ALLOW YOU TO DO IT. I HAVE A REAL HARD TIME WITH IT. IT'S NOT THE INGRESS I'M HAVING THE DIFFICULTY WITH BECAUSE TURNING OFF INTO THE SECTION, THE EXTRA SPACE YOU HAVE MAKES PERFECT SENSE. IT'S PEOPLE TRYING TO GET OUT AT A RUSH HOUR TIME. >> OKAY. WELL, THE DECISION TO ORIENT, FIRST, IT IS OUR PARKING GARAGE PUSHED NORTH AND THEN THE VEHICULAR INGRESS/EGRESS ON COLUMBUS. IT STARTED WITH THE BUILDING PLANNING PROCESS, THE SITE PLANNING PROCESS. I'VE TALKED ABOUT VIABILITY, BUT A MAJOR DRIVER OF THAT IN SITE PLANNING THESE BUILDINGS IS HOW DO WE MAKE THEM MOST EFFICIENT? WE MAKE THEM MOST EFFICIENT BY INTRODUCING WHAT WE CALL DOUBLE-LOADED CORRIDORS WHERE YOU HAVE A SINGLE CORRIDOR SERVING APARTMENTS ON EITHER SIDE. WE START WITH THE DESIRE TO INCORPORATE THOSE. OF COURSE, THOSE CREATE COURTYARDS, AND IT WAS MOST ADVANTAGEOUS, MOST DESIRABLE IN OUR VIEW TO OPEN THOSE SOUTHWARD. ANOTHER BENEFIT OF THAT, AS I MENTIONED, IS THAT WE PROMOTE THAT RESIDENTIAL FEEL ON AMELIA WITH THE URBAN STOOPS, WITH THE OPEN COURTYARDS AND TIERED BUILDING DESIGN. SO IT KEEPS BOTH VEHICULAR TRAFFIC OFF OF AMELIA AND IT GIVES US THE CHARACTER THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR THERE. >>LYNN HURTAK: YEAH. WE'VE HAD SO MANY OF THESE COME TO US. I'LL BE HONEST, MOST OF THEM BUILD UPON OTHERS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I KNOW THERE IS A DEVELOPMENT VERY CLOSE BY THAT DID A LOT OF THIS WITH LESS PARKING AND ALL SORTS OF STUFF. I'M DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS OVERALL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. I'LL OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT. I SAW A FEW PEOPLE WALK IN A FEW MINUTES AGO. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEAK AND YOU WALKED IN AFTER I SWEAR EVERYBODY IN, CAN YOU PLEASE STAND REAL QUICK AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND WE'LL SWEAR YOU IN? ANYBODY ELSE WALK IN? THERE YOU GO. [OATH ADMINISTERED] >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE LINE UP HERE AND WE'LL TAKE YOU ONE BY ONE. YES, MA'AM, COME UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> THANK YOU. MY NAME IS MAUREEN ARILL. 3401 BAYSHORE BOULEVARD, TAMPA, FLORIDA. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. I HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF YOU SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST. I HAVE FOUR ADDRESSES ONE BLOCK NORTH. AND I GO THROUGH FLORIDA AND COLUMBUS FREQUENTLY. I'LL GET BACK TO THAT. ANYWAY, MY ADDRESSES ARE 2740, 42 44 46. I'M HERE TO SPEAK NOT JUST FOR MYSELF BUT ALSO FOR MY TENANTS WHO HAVE BEEN HOPING AND PRAYING FOR SOME SORT OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THIS PARTICULAR CORNER. CURRENTLY, THE ONLY LANDMARKS THAT WE HAVE TO SHARE WITH CLIENTS OF THE TENANTS IS THE RAINBOW COLORED DOWNTOWN MOTEL AND THE CHURCH NEXT DOOR THAT GOT DAMAGED FROM THE SHOOT-OUT ONE YEAR AGO WHEN THE POLICE KILLED SOME SORT OF CRIMINAL. ANYWAY, I BRING THIS UP BECAUSE THIS IS A CHALLENGING AREA. WE ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORT THIS DEVELOPMENT AND FEEL IT IS COURAGEOUS, TO SAY THE LEAST. AS STOREFRONTS THAT HAVE NO PARKING IN FRONT OF THEM BECAUSE WE'RE RIGHT ON FLORIDA AVENUE, THIS WILL BE A GAME-CHANGER. WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR PEDESTRIANS, WHICH WE HAVE NEVER HAD UNLESS THEY ARE STUMBLING OUT OF THE MOTEL. WE CAN'T WAIT FOR HIGHLY FUNCTIONING NEIGHBORS WHO CAN COME IN AND SUPPORT OUR BUSINESSES. LUCKY CAT YOGA, WHICH MANY OF YOU MAY KNOW, HAPPENED TO BE HAVING A YOGA CLASS WHEN THE SHOOT-OUT OCCURRED LAST YEAR AND THE POLICE WENT IN THROUGH THE BACK AND VACATED ALL THE YOGA STUDENTS FOR THEIR SAFETY. THIS IS A CHALLENGING AREA. THESE ARE CRAZY TIMES, AND ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BRING RESIDENTS TO OUR CORNER IS SOMETHING THAT WE SUPPORT. THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR. FERNANDEZ, COME ON UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. MY NAME IS RICK FERNANDEZ, PRESIDENT OF THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION. GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL. I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON YOUR AGENDA ITEM 3, REZ 24-52. OUR BOARD'S POSITION EXPRESSING CONDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE REZONING AS SENT OUT IN THE E-MAIL, SENT OUT TO YOU FOLKS ON NOVEMBER 8. I INCORPORATE THAT E-MAIL FULLY BY REFERENCE HERE. I DO HAVE A COPY OF IT, IF ANYONE WOULD CARE TO HAVE IT AS PART OF THE RECORD. WE SEE THIS AS A GOOD PROJECT BY FRAMEWORK. THAT COULD BE MADE BETTER FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. FULL SUPPORT IF YOU REVIEW THE LETTER IS CONTINGENT ON FOUR CHANGES TO THE PD PLAN, TWO OF WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED BY COUNCIL HURTAK. THE FIRST, PARKING SHOULD NOT BE ABOVE THE CODE MINIMUM. SECOND, THE GARAGE RAMP SHOULD BE FURTHER FROM THE INTERSECTION OF COLUMBUS AND FLORIDA. WE HAVE SUGGESTED PLACEMENT ON AMELIA TO THE SOUTH. FOURTH, MORE COMMERCIAL USE SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON THE GROUND FLOOR. AND FOURTH, THE DEVELOPER SHOULD SET ASIDE 10% OF UNITS FOR AFFORDABLE WORKFORCE HOUSING. ESPECIALLY WHEREAS HERE CBD PERIPHERY DENSITY BONUSES ARE AWARDED. THESE PROPOSED CHANGES ARE INFORMED BY THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF OUR LAND USE COMMITTEE, CHAIRED BY BRIAN SEAL, WHO I THINK IS FAMILIAR TO ALL OF YOU. AND ADOPTED BY OUR BOARD FOLLOWING SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH THE DEVELOPERS AT FRAMEWORK. TO BE CLEAR, FRAMEWORK HAS INTERACTED WITH THE TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION AT A HEALTHY LEVEL. I'M NOT CASTING ASPERSIONS ON THE DEVELOPERS HERE. WE HAVE SIMPLY REACHED AN IMPASSE. MAYBE YOU CAN HELP US BRIDGE THE GAP. ON ITS FACE, THE PROJECT APPEARS SOLID. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY HERE IN FULL SUPPORT. OUR BOARD'S POSITION IS BASED IN LARGE PART ON AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE TAMPA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN DATING BACK TO 2003, WHICH ENVISIONS THE COLUMBUS DRIVE CORRIDOR AS THE MAIN COMMERCIAL TOWN CENTER FOR OUR COMMUNITY. IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE BUSINESSES AND SERVICES IN TAMPA HEIGHTS, THAT TAMPA HEIGHTS RESIDENTS CAN ACCESS FROM ALL FOUR QUADRANTS OF THE FLORIDA/COLUMBUS INTERSECTION. THE KEY TO SUCCESSFUL, WALKABLE CORRIDORS IS THE FULL PUBLICLY ACTIVATED STOREFRONT THAT DRAWS IN FROM THE SURROUNDING BLOCKS. THIS PLAN FALLS SHORT. WHILE THE ABOVE LISTED MODIFICATIONS -- OR WITH THE ABOVE LISTED MODIFICATIONS, TAMPA HEIGHTS CIVIC ASSOCIATION WOULD BE FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS REZONING. WE ASK YOU TO WEIGH THE ISSUES AND REQUEST CHANGES BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. WOULD YOU CARE FOR A COPY OF THE LETTER COUNCIL? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SURE. BRING IT ON UP, SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. NEXT SPEAKER, YES, SIR, COME ON UP AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> MY NAME IS LOU VILAROSA. I'M HERE TO SUPPORT COUNCILPERSON HURTAK'S COMMENTS ON TRAFFIC. VOLUNTEER TUTOR AT ACADEMY PREP SCHOOL ON THE CORNER OF 15th STREET AND COLUMBUS DRIVE. I HAVE TO GET THERE TO TUTOR A STUDENT IN THE AFTERNOON. I LIVE ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN. COLUMBUS DRIVE IS ONE-WAY TRAFFIC FROM NORTH BOULEVARD ALL THE WAY TO 15th STREET. I'VE GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I DON'T EVEN TRY TO GO THROUGH THERE. I GO TO NORTH BOULEVARD. I MAKE A RIGHT TURN. I GO ALL THE WAY TO PALM AVENUE, CUT MY WAY AROUND THE BACKSIDE AND COME BACK TO 15th STREET. OTHERWISE IT IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE AND IT'S DANGEROUS. I HIGHLY SUPPORT COUNCILMAN HURTAK'S COMMENT. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MAYBE I MISHEARD YOU SAY COLUMBUS DRIVE IS ONE WAY. >> IT'S ONE WAY EACH WAY. EACH WAY. BECAUSE THE HOUSIN CANNOT BE EXPANDED ALL THE WAY TO YBOR CITY. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I GOT IT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: EAST BOULEVARD, IT GETS -- >> THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SIR. YES, MA'AM, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING. ERIN McKINNAN. I LIVE AT 2212 NORTH MORGAN STREET IN TAMPA HEIGHTS. HERE TO EXPRESS MY STRONG SUPPORT FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT BY THE FRAMEWORK GROUP WHICH I BELIEVE WILL ENRICH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE FRAMEWORK GROUP HAS SHOWN A REAL COMMITMENT TO ENGAGING WITH THE HEIGHTS. THEY THOUGHTFULLY INTEGRATED ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, RETAIL SPACE AND PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY FEATURES THAT ALIGN WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD'S CHARACTER AND VALUES. THEIR PLANS ALSO INCLUDE -- THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART -- UNDERGROUND STORMWATER DETENTION SYSTEM WHICH APPARENTLY IS SUPER EXPENSIVE, A PROACTIVE STEP THAT DEMONSTRATES THEIR RESPECT FOR OUR COMMUNITY'S NEEDS. A KEY POINT FOR US IS THE COLUMBUS AVENUE ENTRANCE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS DESIGN HELPS KEEP OUR SIDE STREETS QUIETER AND MORE NEIGHBORHOODLY AND FEEL THAT DIRECTING TRAFFIC TOWARD A MAJOR ROAD IS THOUGHTFUL AND BALANCES ACCESSIBILITY WITH OUR COMMUNITY'S RESIDENTIAL INTEGRITY. HOWEVER, COLUMBUS AVENUE DEFINITELY NEEDS ATTENTION BEFORE ANY OF THIS IS DONE. IT'S ALREADY A PROBLEM AREA. THIS PROJECT AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AT THAT INTERSECTION NEED TO CAREFULLY CONSIDER ACCESS. SPECIFICALLY THE INTERSECTION OF COLUMBUS AND TAMPA, WHICH WOULD BENEFIT GREATLY FROM A TURN LANE AND A TURN LIGHT. ADDING THESE FEATURES WOULD ALLEVIATE CONGESTION AND REDUCE STRAIN ON OTHER PARTS OF COLUMBUS. THOUGH THIS PROJECT DOES NOT DESIGNATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, ADDING 208 NEW UNITS WILL HELP ADDRESS THE HOUSING SHORTAGE, INCREASING HOUSING AVAILABILITY CAN STABILIZE RENTAL PRICES OVER TIME CREATING A MORE ACCESSIBLE MARKET AND THIS ALIGNS WITH OUR SHARED VISION OF TAMPA HEIGHTS AS A DIVERSE AND VIBRANT COMMUNITY. THE PLANNED RETAIL AND PUBLIC SPACES ARE EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT FOSTERING INVITING STREETSCAPE ALONG COLUMBUS DRIVE WITH PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY SIDEWALKS, GREENSPACES AND COMMERCIAL STOREFRONTS. THIS PROJECT ALIGNS WELL WITH THE TAMPA HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN. THIS PROJECT BRINGS NEW LIFE AND OPPORTUNITY TO TAMPA HEIGHTS ADDRESSING BOTH HOUSING NEEDS AND COMMUNITY VIBRANCY. I APPRECIATE THE DEVELOPER'S RESPECT TO FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND BELIEVE THIS PROJECT IS A POSITIVE STEP FORWARD IN OUR GROWTH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION AND COMMITMENT TO A THOUGHTFUL DEVELOPMENT IN TAMPA HEIGHTS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER. YES, MA'AM, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> HELLO. MY NAME IS ERICA GREENBERG SCHNEIDER. I'M THE OWNER AND DIRECTOR OF -- 109 WEST COLUMBUS DRIVE. I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO MOVE THERE, ARTISTS, DICK GRECO HAD SENT OUT A DESIRE TO SEE THAT WHOLE AREA BECOME A COTTAGE INDUSTRY WITH ARTISANS AND LIVE-WORK SPACES. I WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY, UNFORTUNATELY. THAT NEVER REALLY HAPPENED. WHAT I WANTED TO SAY WAS THAT FRAMEWORK IS A VERY GOOD COMPANY. I'VE DEALT WITH THEM FOR ART REASONS. I HAVE A GALLERY. I'VE WORKED WITH THEM BEFORE AND THEY ARE HONEST, THEY ARE TRUTHFUL. I AGREE WITH THE FIRST WOMAN THAT SPOKE EARLIER WHOSE NAME I DID NOT RETAIN, UNFORTUNATELY, ABOUT WE NEED HELP WITH RETAIL. THAT WHOLE AREA, USED TO BE MICHIGAN AVENUE IN THE '30s I HAVE PICTURES. MY BUILDING IS NEXT DOOR TO THE ORIGINAL HOME OF THE FIRST MAYOR OF TAMPA. AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. IT WAS VERY EXCITING. IT WAS VERY BUSTLING. WE NEED THAT TO COME BACK. HAVING THE RESIDENTIAL PART WITH THE STOREFRONTS ON THE BOTTOM IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA. I NEED COMPANY. I AM THE ONLY PLACE THAT SELLS THINGS ON THAT STREET. PLUS I SELL ART WHICH IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY AS WELL. BUT THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO OFFER LIVING SPACE AND COMMERCIAL SPACES AND THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS MOVING HERE, PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRAFFIC, I TEACH AT USF IN ST. PETERSBURG, IT TOOK ME TWO AND A HALF HOURS TO GET HERE THIS AFTERNOON. I LEFT AT 2:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. 275 WAS RIDICULOUS. SO THIS IS NOT ONLY COLUMBUS, IT'S EVERYWHERE. PEOPLE ARE POURING IN HERE AND WE NEED TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE. BUT THE CITY IS GROWING AND WE CAN'T FIGHT THAT. YOUNGER AND YOUNGER GENERATIONS OF PEOPLE ARE INSTALLING THEMSELVES IN TAMPA AND THEY WANT AN ENVIRONMENT. THEY WANT A NEIGHBORHOOD ENVIRONMENT. AND THIS PROJECT IS REALLY PERFECT FOR THAT. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DID YOU SAY THAT YOUR BUILDING ON COLUMBUS, THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR IS [ENCODER DISCONNECT] -- I MET ONE OF THE ORIGINAL CARPENTERS WHO WORKED ON THE HOUSE WHO SHOWED ME IMAGES OF IT. WHEN IT WAS FIRST BUILT, IT WAS STUNNING. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: TALKING ABOUT MAYOR LANCASTER. >> THE GREEN VICTORIAN HOUSE TO THE EAST OF ME. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. >> UNFORTUNATELY, NOBODY WAS PAYING ATTENTION TO TAMPA HEIGHTS AND IT WAS SOLD, RESOLD AND RESOLD AND THEY BROKE IT UP AND DID NIGHTMARES TO IT UNFORTUNATELY. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PART. THAT WHOLE STRETCH IS A BEAUTIFUL PART OF TAMPA HEIGHTS. THANK YOU, CITY COUNCIL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR. PLEASE COME ON UP AND STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS WILLIAM DOVINS. 513 EAST HUGHES STREET IN TAMPA HEIGHTS. THIS WEEK IT WILL BE SIX YEARS THAT I'VE LIVED IN TAMPA HEIGHTS. ONE THING THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED SINCE I'VE LIVED HERE IS THIS CORNER ON FLORIDA AND COLUMBUS HAS BEEN NOT ACTIVATED THE ENTIRE TIME THAT I LIVED HERE. AND FROM SPEAKING TO MY NEIGHBORS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. SO THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT TONIGHT. I'LL GIVE SOME OTHER REASONS WHY. I WORK DOWNTOWN AND I COMMUTE VIA BIKE, WALKING, AND SOMETIMES DRIVING. I TRY TO DO THAT AS LESS AS POSSIBLE BUT SUMMER DOES NOT PERMIT SOMETIMES. WALKING MY DOG IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I GENERALLY AVOID THIS AREA BECAUSE, ONE, THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO ADDRESS ARE THE NARROW SIDEWALKS. IT'S NOT VERY COMFORTABLE WITH SPEEDING TRAFFIC COMING BY WITH A DOG, LET ALONE IF YOU PASS SOMEONE ELSE ON THE SIDEWALK. IT'S A VACANT LOT, SO IT'S COVERED IN BROKEN GLASS. I DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE TO WALK THERE MYSELF. ONE THING I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IS THE ACTIVATION OF THIS CORNER AND MAKING IT A UTILITY FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. ONE THING TOUCHED ON IN THE PRESENTATION WAS THE FACT THAT AT FIRST THERE WAS NO GROUND FLOOR RETAIL. AND THAT WAS A CONCESSION THEY MADE IN THEIR COMMUNICATION WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH I GENERALLY APPRECIATED. I KNOW ONE THING WE WANT WITH TAMPA HEIGHTS IS TAMPA HEIGHTS AS TOUCHED ON EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION, IT WAS ORIGINALLY THE FIRST SUBURB. THAT'S WHERE MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHEN TAMPA WAS MUCH SMALLER. NOW TAMPA HEIGHTS HAS BECOME PART OF OUR URBAN CORE, AND I KNOW MANY PEOPLE ON THIS COUNCIL HAVE TALKED ABOUT WANTING TO INCREASE DEMAND FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. I THINK LARGE DENSITY PROJECTS SUCH AS THIS WILL CREATE THAT DEMAND OF MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE WILLING TO USE THAT TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO AND FROM THEIR JOBS WHEREVER THEY MAY BE DOWNTOWN OR EVERYONE IS WORKING REMOTELY NOW TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION FOR THOSE FOLKS TO USE OUR DOWNTOWN CORRIDOR AND CREATE THAT VIBRANT URBAN ENVIRONMENT WHICH WE'RE LOOKING FOR. AGAIN, I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, COUNCIL. THAT'S JUST SOME OF THE GENERAL POINTS OF WHY I SUPPORT THIS PROJECT. THANKS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES MA'AM. PLEASE COME ON UP AND STATE YOUR NAME. >> LEE WILSON VERSAGI. 720 SOUTH ORLEANS AVENUE, TAMPA. MY HUSBAND, RUSS AND I HAVE THE THREE ABUTTING HOUSES THAT ARE ON MORGAN TO THIS PROJECT. I WOULD AGREE THAT IF THEY STEP BACK TO THREE STORIES WHERE THE HOUSES ARE, THAT WOULD BE VERY GOOD FOR US BECAUSE WE OWN THESE HOUSES. WE RENT THESE HOUSES. THE DENSITY IS SO MUCH. I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES THAT THEY SHOWED YOU OF THE SURROUNDING AREA, YOU CAN SEE THAT. AND WHEN YOU SEE THAT DEVELOPMENT, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S MASSIVE COMPARED TO EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND IT. I AGREE THAT THAT AREA NEEDS ACTIVATION AND NEEDS RETAIL, AND IT NEEDS A VIBRANT CORNER THERE. BUT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH WHERE ARE CARS GOING TO PULL IN AND OUT OF. BUT THE NOISE FOR US, IT WILL IMPACT US FINANCIALLY, WE BELIEVE. OR I SHOULD SPEAK FOR MYSELF. I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO HAVE A SMALLER THREE-STORY TO FOUR-STORY BUILDING ON THAT CORNER AND ACTIVATE THE STREET IN THAT WAY. I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER TO ADD EXCEPT FOR I WILL SHOW YOU JUST REALLY QUICK. THIS IS AT 80 FEET BEHIND ONE OF OUR HOUSES, AND YOU CAN SEE THE THREE HOUSES THAT ARE RIGHT THERE. WELL, THAT'S WHERE THE BUILDING IS GOING TO BE. THAT'S THE SAME AS IF YOU HAD THIS BUILDING BEHIND YOU AND YOU WERE IN THAT FOURTH LANE ACROSS ON FLORIDA AVENUE, YOU WOULD BE AT THE BACK DOOR OF THESE HOUSES. IT'S REALLY JUST TOO MUCH DENSITY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES SIR. COME ON UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RUSS VERSAGI. I'M A STAKEHOLDER IN TAMPA HEIGHTS. THE MIXED USE PROJECT THAT'S PLANNED FOR THE SOUTHEAST CORNER ON COLUMBUS AND FLORIDA AVENUE IS ONE THAT HAS UTILIZED EVERY IMAGINABLE ZONING FUNCTION, INCLUDING LAND USE AMENDMENTS, DEMOLITION OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS, REMOVAL OF TREES, VACATING ALLEYS, ZERO SETBACK WAIVERS, AND A PD TO MAXIMIZE THE DENSITY. IT WILL COST THEM OVER $90 MILLION AND REACH A HEIGHT OF 89 FEET. THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT IN ANYBODY'S STANDARD. YET IT'S LOCATED IN A HISTORIC DISTRICT AND FACES THREE HISTORIC BUNGALOWS ON THE SAME BLOCK WITH ONLY A 15-FOOT SETBACK. IF THE BUILDING IS CONSTRUCTED AS REQUESTED, THOSE BUNGALOWS WILL NEVER HAVE A SUNSET MUCH LESS ANY PRIVACY. MY WIFE'S PHOTOS SHOWED WHAT AN AERIAL LOOKS LIKE AND YOU'RE STARING RIGHT IN THE BACKYARD OF THESE BUNGALOWS. THOSE HOMES ARE EACH OVER A HUNDRED YEARS OLD. AND TEN YEARS AGO, THOSE THREE HOMES WERE RESCUED FROM DEMOLITION. DENNIS FERNANDEZ MENTIONED THAT. AND NOW THEY ARE FULLY RESTORED TO THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR STANDARDS, AND THEY HAVE BECOME A PART OF THE PIONEERING EFFORT TO RESTORE THE NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWN AS TAMPA HEIGHTS. I'D LIKE TO ASK COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT WITH CONDITIONS THAT WERE GIVEN BY THE CITY STAFF AND THE ARC. BOTH OF THOSE PROPOSALS CALLED FOR A STEP-DOWN REDUCTION IN HEIGHT OF 35 FEET WHERE THE DEVELOPMENT FACES THE THREE BUNGALOWS. THESE ARE THE THREE BUNGALOWS, AND THESE ARE THE BUILDINGS THAT WILL BE LOOKING DOWN ON IT. AND THOSE BUILDINGS IF THEY MEET A 35-FOOT STEP-DOWN, IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE TEN OF THOSE RESIDENTIAL UNITS AWAY. I'M SUGGESTING THAT THAT IS A GOOD COMPROMISE. THEY CAN PUT THE OTHER TEN UNIT% ELSEWHERE OR JUST GO TO THE SELLER OF THE LAND AND SAY, WE CAN ONLY PAY THIS MUCH FOR YOUR LAND. AND THAT HAPPENS EVERY DAY IN THE DEVELOPMENT WORLD. EITHER FISH OR CUT BAIT WHEN IT COMES TO THAT. I APPRECIATE YOU HEARING ME OUT. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHT. WE GO TO REBUTTAL NOW. I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF COMMENTS AND THINGS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP. FIRST, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PROJECT. THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THAT PARCEL, AS YOU SEE, IT'S EMPTY PARKING LOT, SOME HISTORIC STRUCTURES. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF CHANGES TO IT BUT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING TAMPA HEIGHTS IN YOUR INVESTMENT. HOWEVER A COUPLE OF THINGS WERE BROUGHT UP. COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK BROUGHT UP THE GRIDLOCK. I TAKE FLORIDA AVENUE TO COLUMBUS TO GET OUT OF HERE EVERY TIME I LEAVE. SOMETIMES I TAKE KENNEDY, NOT THAT IT'S ANY EASIER, BUT I LIVE NORTH. AND THAT INTERSECTION IS INCREDIBLY BUSY. IT MAY NOT BE WHEN WE GET OUT OF HERE AT 2 IN THE MORNING TONIGHT AT THIS RATE, BUT DURING THE DAY, IN THE MORNINGS, IT'S VERY, VERY BUSY. FLORIDA AVENUE IS A ONE-WAY, MULTIPLE LANES GOING NORTH. BUT COLUMBUS DRIVE IS A NARROW EAST AND WEST. AND IT IS VERY, VERY BUSY. ONCE YOU GO EAST OF NORTH BOULEVARD, AS THE GENTLEMAN MENTIONED, IT GETS BACKED UP. THAT'S ONE THING. THE ENTRANCE WAY TO -- THE INGRESS AND EGRESS ON COLUMBUS DRIVE, I SEE IT AS VERY DIFFICULT FOR MOST OF THE DAYTIME TO GET IN AND OUT OF THERE BECAUSE THE INTERSECTION, HOW NARROW IT IS. ANOTHER CONCERN THAT CAME UP IS, AS MR. VERSAGI MENTIONED AT THE END AND IN REGARDS TO THE AMOUNT OF PARKING SPACES, IS THERE A WAY TO USE THAT STEP-DOWN APPROACH IN THAT BACK AREA THAT FACES THOSE THREE HOMES? REDUCE A COUPLE OF UNITS, REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF PARKING YOU HAVE BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE THAN WHAT'S NECESSARY, COULD YOU MAKE THOSE NUMBERS WORK? YOU SAID THERE IS THE BANK. THERE'S FINANCING. THERE'S MAKING THIS MAKE SENSE AND PROFITABLE, CONSIDERING YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS BUILDING WORK. YOU HAVE TO OPERATE IT AND YET TURN A PROFIT. THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, 10% AFFORDABLE UNITS, JUST A LOT OF STUFF BROUGHT UP. >>LYNN HURTAK: POINT OF ORDER. WE CANNOT CONSIDER THEIR FINANCIAL VIABILITY. SO WE CAN'T REALLY TALK -- I MEAN, THAT IS NOT SOMETHING WE CAN CONSIDER IN THIS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO, NO. BECAUSE HE'S PROBABLY GOING TO ANSWER WITH IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE FINANCIAL SENSE. BUT WHAT CAN WE DO IN ORDER TO, I DON'T WANT TO SAY ACCOMMODATE THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUT ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. MR. FERNANDEZ CAME UP -- RICK FERNANDEZ, NOT THE HISTORICAL PRESERVATION MANAGER, MR. FERNANDEZ, SAYING THAT WE WANT TO GET THERE. THERE IS A CONDITIONAL LETTER OF SUPPORT, YOU COULD SAY. BUT CAN ANY CHANGES BE MADE BETWEEN NOW AND SECOND READING? ANY MODIFICATIONS THAT WOULD HELP US GET TO TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE -- ACCOMMODATE -- TRY TO COME TO A HAPPIER MEDIUM? A LOT OF QUESTIONS, IF YOU WOULD >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I ADD? TALK ABOUT IT ALL IN REBUTTAL. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR PRESENTATION AND THE FACT THAT YOU HAD SO MANY MEETINGS WITH THE PUBLIC, THAT YOU LISTENED TO IT YOU LOOKED AT THE ARCHITECTURAL STYLE OF THE COMMUNITY, AND THAT YOU WERE TRANSPARENT ABOUT THE THINGS YOU COULDN'T DO. I THINK THAT WAS VERY PROGRESSIVE FOR A DEVELOPER. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THAT. JUST ADDING ON TO WHAT HE JUST SAID, FOR EXAMPLE, THE VERSAGI FAMILY HAS RESTORED PROBABLY HUNDREDS OF IMPORTANT HISTORIC STRUCTURES AND MULTIFAMILY STRUCTURES AROUND. I KNOW THEY UNDERSTAND THE RELEVANCE OF BUILDINGS TO ONE ANOTHER. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR THE SAME THING. JUST ON THAT ONE PART -- YOU CAN'T SEE THE MAP I CAN SEE -- JUST ON THAT ONE PART, LIKE HALF THE WALL FACING IT, I SAW YOU ALL HAD STEPPED IT BACK ON THE TOP FLOOR TO CREATE PATIOS OR WHATEVER. IT LOOKS -- THE STYLE OF IT SHOWS THAT YOU PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT IN THE ARCHITECTURE. IS IT POSSIBLE AT ALL TO STEP BACK SLIGHTLY TO HIT THE REQUIREMENTS THEY HAVE SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT STEPS DOWN TO THE HISTORIC HOMES? >> TO HIT ON THOSE TOPICS -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BEFORE YOU START, I AGREE WITH MR. CARLSON. CAN I ADD TO YOUR LIST OF THINGS TO RESPOND TO IN REBUTTAL? MY QUESTIONS. >> SURE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT WAS -- WHY DID YOU RULE OUT AMELIA FOR A GARAGE ENTRANCE? THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED QUITE OFTEN ABOUT THIS CORNER AND THE LACK OF RETAIL. YOU ONLY HAVE THE TWO CORNERS, RIGHT, RELATIVELY SMALL SPACES. LACK OF RETAIL. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, YOU UNDERGROUNDED UTILITIES ON THIS PROJECT. >> THAT IS THE PROPOSAL, CORRECT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THOSE ARE THE ONLY THREE POINTS. NONE OF THOSE ARE STICKLERS FOR ME. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN. I APPRECIATE. I AGREE WITH WHAT'S BEEN SAID ON BOTH SIDES. HOWEVER, IN MY MIND, I'M CALCULATING FLORIDA AVENUE DOES HAVE A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY NORTH AS FAR AS YOU CAN GO. GO OUT OF CITY LIMITS FLORIDA AVENUE. HOWEVER, I GOT SOME E-MAILS ON FLORIDA AND HILLSBOROUGH ABOUT THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION, WHY YOU'RE CHANGING THE TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION. IT WAS VERY WELL EXPLAINED. HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE IS 550,000 CARS. FLORIDA AVENUE HAS MUCH LESS THAN THAT, BUT A LOT OF CARS. LEFT-TURN LANE ON FLORIDA AND HILLSBOROUGH IS DONE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SO YOU CAN GET RID OF FOUR CARS AND CONTINUE THE TRAFFIC ON HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE. ON YOUR AREA, ON FLORIDA AND COLUMBUS, YOU GO ONE BLOCK WEST TAMPA STREET AND THERE IS A BIG DEVELOPMENT COMING THERE. GOT TO BE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC ON TAMPA STREET AS IT IS ON FLORIDA AVENUE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE WHAT? HABITUAL. THEY GO AND COME EVERY WAY THE SAME DAY EVERY DAY. THAT'S A NATURAL THING. TRAFFIC BAD? YES. THAT BUILDING I'VE KNOWN FOR I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS. THAT BUILDING IS OVER 80 OR 90 YEARS OLD. WHEN I WAS A KID 1956 TO '59, WENT TO JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL. WALKED TO YBOR CITY, PAST THIS BUILDING EVERY SINGLE DAY. IT HASN'T CHANGED. I WAS GOING TO SAY A BAD WORD. IT WAS INCOMPARABLE TO WHAT USED TO IN YBOR CITY. BONSAI OR SOMETHING THAT SOLD VINYL AND FLOOR. RETAIL AND WHOLESALE COMBINED. ACROSS THE STREET, BICYCLE SHOP. TWO BUILDINGS TO THE SOUTH I DON'T THINK WERE THERE. I THINK THEY WERE ADDED ON SOMETIME AFTER 1960. I DON'T REMEMBER THEM BEING THERE. I'M GOING WAY BACK. WHY HAVE MORE PARKING? I'M ALWAYS IN FAVOR OF MORE PARKING. PLEASE JOIN SOMETHING, KIDS, 15, 16 YEARS OLD, WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'LL DO COUPLE YEARS OLDER? WON'T RIDE A BUS. THEY DON'T SEE A BUS. TALK ABOUT TRANSIT AND WANT TO HAVE TRANSIT WHERE THERE IS POPULATION. YOU DON'T HAVE POPULATION, HOW YOU GET THE BUS? I DON'T KNOW. WHAT I'M SAYING IS IN THIS ATMOSPHERE IN LIFE, PARKING IS A DIRE NECESSITY. KIDS BECOME OLDER REAL QUICK, GIVE THEM KEYS, SO IF YOU HAVE 208 AND YOU HAVE 300 AND HOW MUCH. >> 340. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MAYBE IT'S A LITTLE OVER. GUARANTEE YOU YOU'LL HAVE A LOT OF TEENAGERS THAT BECOME YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WITHIN THREE OR FOUR YEARS. THEY ARE GOING TO NEED PARKING, WHETHER IT MEETS THAT REQUIREMENT OR NOT, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FIGURED IT OUT. ALL THOSE THINGS ARE LOOKED AT. THAT BUILDING HAS BEEN AS UGLY AS I'VE SEEN ANYTHING ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME. WHEN YOU LOOK JUST NORTH OF YOU ON THE SAME CORNER OPPOSITE SIDE, CHAIN-LINK FENCE, DON'T YOU? >> THAT'S RIGHT. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WHAT ABOUT ON THE OTHER SIDE? BIG BUILDING THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TORN DOWN. USED TO BE A FURNITURE STORE. TOOK FURNITURE TO GET FIXED. BOTTOM WAS HAIR CUT. I NEVER WENT THERE. WHAT I'M SAYING IS ALL THESE THINGS I REMEMBER, NOW YOU FOLLOW THAT AVENUE, COLUMBUS DRIVE ON THE SAME NORTH SIDE, GUESS WHETHE WHAT YOU HAVE THER. CAR REPAIR. GOTTEN MUCH BETTER. PASSED BY THE OTHER DAY. I NOTICED SOME BUILDINGS ARE REALLY NICE AND PAINTED AND SOMEONE LIVING THERE NOW. THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE, AUTO REPAIR SHOP. BEHIND YOUR PLACE? AUTO REPAIR BODY SHOP, AM I CORRECT? >> THAT'S RIGHT. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, BUT I SEE WITH MY EYES AND TRY TO MEMORIZE EVERYWHERE I GO WHAT I SEE. I REMEMBER THAT 60 YEARS AGO AND 70 YEARS AGO AND IT HAS NOT CHANGED. IT WAS BOARDED UP FOR A LONG TIME. WINDOWS WERE BOARDED UP, PAINTED DIFFERENT COLOR. ALL THAT STUFF WAS THERE. WHAT WAS THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEN? THE NEIGHBORHOOD WANTS SOMETHING DONE, BUT I THINK COMPROMISE BETWEEN YOURSELF AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD FROM WHAT I READ AND THE BODY LANGUAGE AND STUFF I HEARD. I DON'T THINK FAR APART, BUT IT'S UP TO YOU TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HENDERSON. >>GWEN HENDERSON: THANK YOU SO MUCH. AS THE DETECTIVE REPRESENTATIVE, I WANT TO SAY FRAMEWORK, FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING AND -- I'VE ALSO TAKEN A LOOK AT THE STAFF REPORT AS WELL AS WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAS TO SAY. WHILE I APPRECIATE THE PROJECT, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE'RE QUITE THERE YET IN TERMS OF THE THINGS. MAYBE NOT ALL. WE HAVE MORE PARKING THAN YOU NEED AND NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND THAT CONTINUES TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE GENTRIFICATION OF TAMPA HEIGHTS FOR ME. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS A PERSONAL STATEMENT, PER SE, BUT IF YOU TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION OF CHOOSING PARKING OVER AFFORDABLE HOUSING, I FEEL LIKE YOU SHOULD DEFER AND PICK AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AS A SET-ASIDE. AND THEN THE RETAIL SPACE, I LOOKED, I ADDED IT UP, IS IT ONLY THREE UNITS OF RETAIL SPACE TOTALING 5,745 SQUARE FEET? >> THREE STOREFRONTS, 4500 -- >>GWEN HENDERSON: I ENVISIONED AT LEAST TEN BUSINESSES THERE. LITTLE TINY SHOPS WE COULD CHOOSE FROM. I DON'T KNOW IF THREE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT THEY POSSIBLY WILL BE AT 3,000 SQUARE FEET BEING THE LARGEST, 3100 SQUARE FEET AND TWO SMALLER ONES. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WOULD NECESSARILY CONTRIBUTE TO IT BEING WALKABLE FOR THE TAMPA HEIGHTS COMMUNITY, DEPENDING ON WHAT THOSE BUSINESSES ARE GOING TO BE. BUT I HOPE THAT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING THERE COULD BE MORE COMPROMISE. AT THIS POINT, I ACTUALLY DO WANT TO SUPPORT IT. I'M MORE IN FAVOR OF IT THAN NOT SUPPORTING IT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE COMPROMISE WITH THE COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF THE THINGS THAT THEY OUTLINED. ANYTIME DENNIS FERNANDEZ COMES BEFORE US, HE'S ALWAYS PREPARED. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN GET THERE EVEN FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE AS WELL. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE -- GOT ME OFF TRACK. >>MARTIN SHELBY: FORGIVE ME. >>LYNN HURTAK: I AGREE WITH COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON ALSO ABOUT THE RETAIL. I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK ABOUT THAT FRONTAGE THAT'S GOING TO FACE COLUMBUS AND THEN AND CASS STREET. CASS STREET AT TAMPA, RIGHT ACROSS FROM CAFFEINE, IT IS UGLY AS SIN. IT'S JUST CARS. THAT'S ALL YOU SEE. I'M SURE IT WILL BE A LITTLE NICER BUT IT'S STILL THE SAME THING. INGRESS AND EGRESS WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WALK, AND IT JUST MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE TO HAVE AMELIA BE YOUR SPACE THAT PEOPLE COME IN AND OUT OF. AND THEN I DIDN'T MENTION THE STEP-DOWN. I'M GLAD COMMUNITY MEMBERS DID, BECAUSE, YES, THAT IS ALSO A HUGE ISSUE. WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE PROJECT ON TAMPA, BUT THAT WASN'T EVEN AS HIGH. SO I'M VERY CONCERNED ALSO ABOUT THE HEIGHT. IT DOES SEEM -- I MEAN, I AGREE. IT'S HUNDRED PERCENT OVER PARKED. THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SAY. UNFORTUNATELY, THESE AREN'T THE KINDS OF THINGS YOU CAN DO BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A GIANT SITE PLAN MODIFICATION. THAT'S MY CONCERN. YEAH, IT WOULD BE LOVELY TO SAY YOU CAN TAKE OFF A FEW STORIES OR MOVE THINGS AROUND BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AND ESPECIALLY ADD AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S POSSIBLE. AND THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO BRING IT UP. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: VIERA AND CARLSON. >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY SUGGEST AND, SIR, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT OR COUNCIL, WHICH IS THERE -- I THINK COUNCIL WHAT MR. RICK FERNANDEZ, I WAS LISTENING TO HIS COMMENTS AT THE TELEVISION THERE. I HAD TO GO USE THE RESTROOM AND I STOPPED BY TO LISTEN. BY THE WAY, I'M SICK. I'M A LITTLE SLOWER THAN USUAL TODAY, SO TO SPEAK. POTENTIALLY, SIR, MAYBE CAN WE, MR. CHAIRMAN OR COUNCIL, MAYBE ALLOW THIS GENTLEMAN TO GO OUTSIDE, REASSESS, IF YOU WISH TO DO, ANY CHANGES OR ANYTHING THAT YOU MAY WANT TO DO SO MAYBE YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK ON THE STUMP SO TO SPEAK, MAYBE IF YOU NEED 15 OR 20 MINUTES. I THINK THERE IS SUPPORT UP HERE FOR THINGS, RIGHT? JUST A LITTLE BIT OFF, SO TO SPEAK. I WOULD USUALLY BE MORE ELOQUENT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CARLSON AND CLENDENIN. >>BILL CARLSON: YOU HAVE A LOT TO RESPOND TO. I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT VIEWS ON THINGS. IN THE AREA OF PARKING, I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES. I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT. SADLY I THINK WE ALL THOUGHT TEN YEARS AGO WE WOULD HAVE MASS TRANSIT OR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES. IF WE HAD THAT, THEN THE WHOLE MOVEMENT TO REDUCE PARKING WOULD MAKE SENSE. IN THE MEANTIME, UNTIL WE GET THAT, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE PARKING THAT IS DEMANDED BY THE MARKET SO THAT YOU CAN RENT THESE OR SELL THEM AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS THAT I HEAR A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T -- FROM PEOPLE WHO LIVE AROUND THE PLACES THAT DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PARKING, THAT NEIGHBORS DON'T LIKE THEM TAKING UP ALL THE PARKING, DON'T LIKE FIGHTING WITH THEM FOR PARKING, ESPECIALLY IF ANY OF THE RETAIL ENDS UP BEING PRIMARILY DELIVERY PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT. ONE OF THE CONCEPTS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS TRANSIT-READY DEVELOPMENT. IF THERE IS A PLACE THAT D.O.T. OR HART COULD PUT A CUTOUT TO PUT A BUS STOP EVENTUALLY, NEARBY EVEN, THEN THAT WOULD -- >> STREETCAR. >>BILL CARLSON: ANYWAY, I JUST SAY I THINK FOR NOW UNTIL WE GET TRANSIT OR UNTIL WE GET AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES WE HAVE TO HAVE THE AMOUNT OF PARKING THAT A BUILDING NEEDS, OTHERWISE THE PARKING WILL SPILL ON THE STREETS. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SINCE EVERYBODY ELSE IS ISSUING THEIR OPINION ON THIS, I'LL INJECT IT IN. I INITIALLY ASKED YOU TO ADD A COUPLE OF THINGS TO THE LIST. ONE, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CORRIDOR FOR DENSITY. IF GOD IS WILLING AND I'M ABLE -- WE'RE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS BEFORE WE LEAVE THIS TERM, WE'LL HAVE A STREETCAR RUNNING IN FRONT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE LESS DENSITY, PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT DENSITY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE LESS DENSITY. THIS IS A TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR. THIS IS AN AREA AS FAR AS DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY OF TAMPA, IT'S IMPORTANT, NOT JUST FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUT THE ENTIRE CITY OF TAMPA. THE HEIGHT DOESN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL, ESPECIALLY ALONG FLORIDA. I MEAN, IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL. WOULDN'T BOTHER ME IF IT WAS HIGHER ON FLORIDA. I THINK, AGAIN, WITH THE TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT, I THINK ACTIVATING THOSE STOREFRONTS I THINK IS IMPORTANT AND I THINK YOU RECOGNIZE THAT THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT INTERSECTION FOR PEDESTRIAN INTERFACE. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I APPLAUD. I APPLAUD THE WIDER SIDEWALKS, MAKING IT PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY. UNDERGROUNDING UTILITIES WHICH WILL HELP US WITH THE STREET SCAPING FOR THE TREES, I THINK THAT'S TREMENDOUS. A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA. THE PARKING I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN CARLSON. I'M NOT INVESTING OPINION INTO THIS -- INVESTING A PENNY IN THIS PROJECT, NOT A BANKER. I ASSUME YOU DON'T WANT TO BUILD SOMETHING AND PAY FOR SOMETHING NOT BEING UTILIZED. I'LL SAY YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND THE MARKET A LOT BETTER THAN ANY ONE OF THE SEVEN OF US SITTING UP HERE ABOUT WHAT IS REQUIRED TO RENT THE UNITS. I'LL GO WITH WHAT THE MARKET DICTATES ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. IF WE WERE FURTHER ALONG IN PROVIDING A TRANSIT, CAR-FREE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE ENTIRE CITY OF TAMPA, I MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION. WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE OVER-PARKED BUT ESPECIALLY IF YOU ADD MORE RETAIL, MAYBE YOU RIGHT-SIZE ARK. THIS IS NOT GOING TO DICTATE HOW I VOTE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY YOU CHOSE NOT TO DO THE AYE MALE I CAN'T GARAGE ENTRANCE -- AMELIA GARAGE ENTRANCE AND LACK OF DETAIL. IF YOU FLIP THE BUILDINGS AND PUT THE COURTYARDS ALONG COLUMBUS, I CAN SEE A GREAT RESTAURANT WITH A COURTYARD. AGAIN, I'M NOT HERE DESIGNING. I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO PRETEND THAT I'LL DESIGN THE PROJECT FROM THE DAIS IN 15 MINUTES, SOMETHING THAT YOU SPENT YEARS DOING. >>GWEN HENDERSON: ATTORNEY WELLS, I WANT YOU TO STOP ME IF THIS IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE QUESTION. BUT I'M THINKING, AND THIS JUST OCCURRED TO ME, THAT THE ADDITIONAL PARKING, IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE 3100 SQUARE FEET RETAIL SPACE IS GOING TO BE A BAR OR SOMETHING WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE PARKING NEEDED BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT MORE PATRONS SUPPORTING THAT? IS THAT SOMETHING YOU KNOW IN ADVANCE AND THEN WE END UP HAVING A PROBLEM BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT NOISE THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT YET. IS THAT A BAD QUESTION TO ASK? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IT WOULD BE A SEPARATE HEARING, I THINK. >>GWEN HENDERSON: I KNOW. YOU SAID THAT YOU UNDERSTAND BASED ON YOUR BUSINESS MODEL WHY YOU HAVE THIS ADDITIONAL PARKING. I'M JUST CURIOUS IF IT'S BECAUSE THE RETAIL SPACE ON THE BOTTOM LEVEL IS GOING TO BE A SOCIAL SPACE THAT REQUIRES PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO PARK AND NOT SPILL INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR TO AVOID THAT TO SOME DEGREE. I'M JUST ASKING IN ADVANCE JUST IN CASE FIVE YEARS FROM NOW WE COME BACK AND HAVE THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT A BAR AND CROWDEDNESS. CAN I ASK THAT, ATTORNEY WELLS? IS IT OKAY? YES. >> [INAUDIBLE] >> IF I MAY, THEY ARE ASKING FOR ALL COMMERCIAL GENERAL USES. SO A BAR MAY NOT BE KNOWN WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO RIGHT NOW BUT THEY COULD COME BACK IN FRONT OF YOU AND ASK FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE APPROVAL IN THE FUTURE. A BAR IS ALLOWED IN COMMERCIAL GENERAL USES. >>LYNN HURTAK: IT SHOULD BE PARKED FOR IT ALREADY BECAUSE IF IT IS COMMERCIAL SPACE, MR. THOMAS, IS THAT CORRECT? >>SAMUEL THOMAS: YES. IF I MAY, I CAN PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATIONS ON WHAT CAN BE MADE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AND WHAT WOULD REQUIRE THIS TO GO BACK TO DRC AND HAVE ANOTHER FIRST READING. THINGS SUCH AS HEIGHT, THAT CAN BE MODIFIED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. HAVE TO ADD IT TO THE REVISION SHEET. THINGS SUCH AS ACCESS, COLUMBUS, OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD MAKE IT GO BACK TO DRC AND YOU GUYS FOR FIRST READING BECAUSE THEY HAD TO MODIFY THE ACCESS AND POSSIBLY ADD RETAIL TO THAT. THERE ARE MINOR THINGS THAT CAN BE CHANGED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. EVEN IF IT CAN'T BE CHANGED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, THERE IS THE OPTION TO GO BACK TO DRC AND COME BACK FOR FIRST READING. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: REBUTTAL. >> OUT OF RESPECT FOR EVERYONE'S TIME AND A LONG AGENDA THAT YOU'RE FACING, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND REQUEST A CONTINUANCE AND WE'LL RETURN IN FRONT OF YOU WITH MORE DETAILS. >>LUIS VIERA: I WAS GOING TO OFFER TO MAKE THE MOTION. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WAS GOING TO ASK WHAT DATE IS AVAILABLE? >>MARTIN SHELBY: COUNCIL, I ASKED STAFF TO COME PREPARED WITH OPEN DATES TONIGHT BASED ON THE LENGTH OF THE AGENDA. IF THE SITUATION SHOULD ARISE, YOU WOULD BE PREPARED TO KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE AN OPEN DATE. STAFF? OPEN AVAILABLE DATES THAT WOULD WORK WITH THE PETITIONER? >> WE COULD DO DECEMBER. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IS DECEMBER ENOUGH TIME TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT THEY WANT? >> DECEMBER IS FINE WITH THE APPLICANT. >>CATE WELLS: CATE WELLS, LEGAL DEPARTMENT. THE PURPOSE OF THE CONTINUANCE IS TO LOOK AT REVISING THE SITE PLAN, THEN I DON'T KNOW THAT A DECEMBER 12 HEARING MAKES SENSE. WHAT I HEARD WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE CONTINUANCE WAS TO WORK ON REBUTTAL AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. SO I GUESS THE APPLICANT NEEDS TO SHARE WITH YOU WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE CONTINUANCE IS SO WE CAN IDENTIFY AN APPROPRIATE DATE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YEAH, CAN YOU CLARIFY THE PURPOSE OF THIS CONTINUANCE? DECEMBER IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. >> DECEMBER. THERE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TIME FOR DRC, SO THESE WOULD BE CHANGES THAT COULD BE DONE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. THEY ARE CHANGES THAT -- WE CAN LOOK INTO CHANGES THAT WOULD TRIGGER OTHER REVIEWERS, ASIDE FROM HEIGHT THAT WOULDN'T CAUSE US TO GO BACK TO ANOTHER DRC. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THAT DECEMBER 12? >> YES, SIR. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IS THERE SPACE DECEMBER 12? >> YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CAN I GET A MOTION TO CONTINUE TO DECEMBER 12. >> SO MOVED. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: 5:01 P.M. 315 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602. MOTION AND SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FIRST ON THE AGENDA? NO. OKAY. I'M SORRY. DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A FIVE-MINUTE RECESS? WE'LL TAKE A FIVE-MINUTE RECESS. [ SOUNDING GAVEL ] [RECESS] >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WELCOME BACK TO TAMPA CITY COUNCIL. I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER. ROLL CALL, PLEASE. >>BILL CARLSON: HERE. >>LYNN HURTAK: HERE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HERE. >>GWEN HENDERSON: PRESENT. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: HERE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: HERE. >>CLERK: WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC. CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY A COUPLE OF MATTERS. ONE I WILL PREFACE WITH AN APOLOGY A RULE RELEVANT TO LAST MEETING. A RELATIVELY NEW RULE AND I WANT TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION TO HAVE IT IN TOP OF THE MIND AND THE SAME WITH THE PUBLIC. THAT IS RULE 6-J-3. NO REQUEST FOR A CONTINUANCE BY THE APPLICANT OR PETITIONER SHALL BE GRANTED AS A QUASI-JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARING AFTER THE APPLICANT, PETITIONER, HAS COMPLETED ITS INITIAL PRESENTATION UNLESS UPON DETERMINATION BY THE CITY COUNCIL THAT IT IS NECESSARY FOR PURPOSES OF PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS. WELL, WHAT HAS HAPPENED -- IT IS COMING BACK IN DECEMBER FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU WILL DETERMINE, BUT AFTER THEN, JUST KNOW THAT THIS RULE WILL APPLY HENCEFORTH. I WILL MAKE SURE IT IS ON THE TOP OF MY MIND THAT, AGAIN, THAT COUNCIL DID PLACE THIS RULE THAT ONCE A PETITIONER BEGINS THEIR INITIAL PRESENTATION, YOU CAN'T GO AN HOUR AND THEN ASK FOR A CONTINUANCE WITHOUT HAVING A -- A -- SOMETHING THAT IS ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED BY PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS. THAT IS NUMBER ONE. SECOND ITEM I WANT TO REMIND COUNCIL, PLEASE FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE RECORD, REMAIN MINDFUL THAT YOU REFRAIN FROM TESTIFYING AS TO FACTS UPON WHICH ARE RELEVANT TO YOU, BUT YOU ARE GOING TO BASE YOUR DECISION ON. TESTIMONY FROM THE WITNESSES RATHER THAN YOU TESTIFYING YOUR OWN PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY -- WHEN YOU COME TO MAKE THE DECISION RELY ON FACTS THAT ARE IN EVIDENCE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, NOT THROUGH YOUR OWN TAMPA. THANK YOU. >> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, SELF-IMPOSED COUNCIL RULES AND COUNCIL CHOOSES NOT FOLLOW THE RULES, AN ACTION THAT IS TAKEN. NOT SOMETHING -- NO RECOURSE FOR THAT CORRECT? >>MARTIN SHELBY: WELL, ACTUALLY, TECHNICALLY, NOBODY RAISED THE RULE. AND CERTAINLY -- I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. AND MOVING FORWARD, IT IS COMING BACK DECEMBER 12 FOR COMPLETION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER OR DETERMINATION ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. BUT IF YOU WISH TO WAIVE YOUR RULES, THAT IS YOUR PREROGATIVE AND REQUIRES A SUPERMAJORITY VOTE OF FIVE. >>LYNN HURTAK: MIGHT BE SOMETHING GOOD TO ADD TO SOME OF OUR MORE LARGER MORE CONTROVERSIAL DECISIONS. WE MAY WISH TO SAY THAT AT THE PETITION BEGINNING OF EVENING MEETING OR JUST OVERALL. AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY EVENING MEETING SO THE PETITIONERS KNOW. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT AND GLAD YOU ARE SAID THAT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NEXT CASE IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT IN THE PALMETTO BEACH NEIGHBORHOOD. SUBJECT SITE WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND EVACUATION ZONE A. THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF SOUTH 20th STREET AND DAVIS STREET. THIS IS SOUTH 22nd TO THE EAST. USES SURROUND THE SUBJECT SITE. HEAVY INDUSTRIAL DIRECTLY TO THE WEST OF THE SITE. THE SUBJECT SITE IS RECOGNIZED UNDER THE TRANSITIONAL USE 24 CATEGORY ALLOW FOR RANGE OF USES FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO RESIDENTIAL. THAT CATEGORY IS TO THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE. TO THE WEST, WE HAVE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL. THEN WE HAVE CMU-35 AND CC-35 ALONG SOUTH 22nd STREET. THE REQUEST FOR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES CAN BE CONSIDERED IN THE 24 DESIGNATION, AND THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH POLICIES THAT SUPPORT INFILL DEVELOPMENT ON VACANT AND UNDERUTILIZED LAND. THE SITE IS LOCATED ONE BLOCK FROM SOUTH 22nd AVENUE WHICH IS AN ARTERIAL ROADWAY A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND NONRESIDENTIAL USES. MUCH OF SOUTH 22nd AVENUE IS COMMUNITY MIXED AUTO US 35 AND CC-35 BOTH SUPPORT A MIXTURE OF USES. REQUEST WILL A PROVIDE ADDITIONAL HOUSING AND PROXIMITY TO COMMERCIAL AMENITIES ALONG THIS CORRIDOR. PD IS CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICY OF SINGLE-FAMILY USES. UNIT ENTRANCES ARE ORIENTED TOWARD THE STREET WITH A PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT AND VEHICULAR ACCESS FROM AN ALLEY IS REFERRED BY THE PLAN, THE APPLICANT CANNOT USE THE ALLEY DUE TO CONCERNS FROM FDOT. THE REQUEST SUPPORTS THE CITY'S HOUSING POLICIES BY UTILIZING VACANT LAND FOR NEW HOUSING TO MEET THE NEED OF TAMPA'S GROWING POPULATION. BASED ON THESE CONSIDERATIONS, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF FIND THE REQUEST CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? NO, COME ON UP. >>SAMUEL THOMAS: SAMUEL THOMAS, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. I WILL GET STARTED WITH OUR AERIAL MAP. >>SAMUEL THOMAS: TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED UNITS. AND THAT IS ONE THAT IS A BIT OLDER ALSO FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS. TO THE NORTH AND TO THE SOUTH. AND KIND OF IN THE GENERAL AREA A MIX OF CI USES ALONG SOUTH 22nd STREET OR 20st STREET. ALONG 22nd STREET IS MORE CG USES. RM--ZONING DISTRICT THROUGH HERE AND 2nd STREET, RS-50 ZONING. A MIX OF SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOMES AND OLDER MULTIFAMILY HOME LIKE DUPLEXES OR TWO FAMILY USES LIKE THAT. QUITE A DIFFERENT USES IN THE AREA AND OBVIOUSLY AS YOU MOVE WEST, YOU GET INTO THE PORT TAMPA BAY WHERE YOU HAVE THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USES. SO WE WILL GO INTO THE SITE PLAN NOW PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. SO THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TEN SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED UNITS .TWO BUILDINGS WITH FIVE UNITS EACH. THE FRONT DOOR TOWARD DAVIS STREET AND VEHICULAR ACCESS FROM DAVIS STREET. TWO-CAR ENCLOSED GARAGE AND TWO CARS FIT IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR EACH ONE. TOTAL OF 40 PARKING SPACES BEING PROVIDED AND 23 PARKING SPACES ARE ACQUIRED. APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT OF 42 FEET OR THREE STORIES. AND THE APPLICANT IS ALSO PRESERVING -- KIND OF HARD TO SEE, BUT THERE ARE THREE -- I THINK ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR OAK TREE NOTICE REAR THAT THE APPLICANT IS PRESERVING. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT -- AS YOU KNOW PROBABLY FROM THE PREVIOUS REZONINGS TO THE NORTH, THERE IS AN ALLEY NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE. THE APPLICANT WORKED EXTENSIVELY WITH STAFF TO REDESIGN WHEN THEY CAME IN TO DO ALLEY ACCESS AND FROM THE ALLEY TO BETTER PROVIDE STREET TREATMENT AND ALONG THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY. THEY RESUBMITTED THEIR SITE PLAN AFTER THEY REDID IT. WENT BACK ANOTHER DRC. F DOT SHOWED UP FOR THE DRC WHEN THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR FORS ONE. THEY OBJECTED TO ACCESSING THE SITE FROM 0th STREET. THAT KIND OF THREW MAJOR COMPLICATIONS IN THIS AND THAT IS WHY WE ARE WITH THIS PLAN NOW. WANTED TO ADD SOME CONTEXT THAT THE APPLICANT DID TRY TO USE THE ALLEY AND IT BEAM EXTRA COMPLICATED WITH FDOT'S INVOLVEMENT. I WILL GO AHEAD AN SHOW YOU PICTURES OF THE SITE OR THE ELEVATIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS THE NORTH ELEVATION. SOUTH ON DAVIS STREET. EAST ELEVATION AND YOUR WEST ELEVATION. SO HERE ARE SOME PICTURES. THIS IS LOOKING NORTH ON DAVIS STREET. SUBJECT SITE HERE. YOU HAVE SOME MULTIFAMILY RIGHT HERE. ZOOM OUT A LITTLE BIT. THIS IS MOVING TOWARD 20th STREET. SO WE ARE MOVING TOWARD THE PORT ALONG THE SITE. THIS IS LOOKING DIRECTLY AT THE SUBJECT SITE. THIS IS LOOKING WEST. TOWARD DOWNTOWN TAMPA AND THE PORT ALONG DAVIS STREET. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ACROSS THE STREET. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THAT OLDER MULTIFAMILY IN THE AREA. ANOTHER MULTIFAMILY UNIT AS WELL. LOOKING ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SUBJECT SITE. WE ARE CONTINUALLY MOVING EAST TOWARD SOUTH 20th STREET. THIS IS ALSO ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SUBJECT SITE. SOME VACANT LOTS. A IS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED HOME HERE. WE ARE NOW HOOKING BACK NORTH AT THE SITE. THIS IS SOUTH 20th STREET HERE. THIS IS LOOKING EAST ALONG DAVIS BACK IN TOWARD PALMETTO BEACH. THIS IS LOOKING NORTH ALONG 20th STREET. YOU SEE THE PORT OVER HERE. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THAT ALLEY THAT RUNS ALONG THE NORTH OF THE SITE. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH. ON 20th STREET. ANOTHER VIEW LOOKING NORTH ON 20th STREET. THE SUBJECT SITE ENDS RIGHT HERE AND THAT IS THE ENTRANCE OF THE ALLEY FROM 20th STREET. THAT IS A VIEW LOOKING DOWN THE ALLEY. THIS IS WHERE THAT OTHER DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS APPROVED NOT TOO LONG AGO WITH SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED. AND HERE IS A VIEW OF THE ALLEYS WITH THE SUBJECT SITE HERE AND OTHER PREVIOUSLY APPROVED DEVELOPMENT WILL BE THERE. DEVELOPMENT COMPLIANCE STAFF REVIEWED THE APPLICANT AND FOUND IT CONSISTENT. SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION, THE MODIFICATIONS ON THE REVISED REVISION SHEET AND MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING AND I HAVE COPIES OF HE ADVISED REVISION SHEET FOR YOU ALL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: HE A QUESTION WITH WHY AREN'T THEY -- ARE THEY GOING TO TRY TO CLOSE THE ALLEY THEN. IF FDOT IS NOT GOING TO LET THEM USE IT, WHAT IS THE POINT? >>SAMUEL THOMAS: VERY COMPLICATED. FDOT DOESN'T OWN THE ALLEY BUT CITY OF TAMPA OWNS THE ALLEY. FDOT CANNOT FORCE THE CITY OF TAMPA TO CLOSE THE ALLEY, BUT ON FDOT'S PORTION. IF THEY WANTED TO PUT SOMETHING THERE, THEY COULD. I THINK IT WILL BE MORE SO ALONG THE LINES THAT WHEN THE APPLICANT APPLIED FOR A PERMIT AND THEY WENT TO GO IMPROVE THE ALLEY, FDOT WILL DENY THEIR ACCESS TO 20th STREET. >>LYNN HURTAK: MAYBE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT. WHY DIDN'T THEY WANT TO VACATE THE ALLEY FOR EXTRA SPACE. SO I WILL ASK. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPLICANT, COME ON UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCILMEMBERS.

JENNIFER MALONE FOR THE PLANNING. >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. JUST SOUTH OF WEST GANDY BOULEVARD ALONG SOUTH QUINCY STR STREET. TSUNAMIY I AM SURE EVERYBODY IS FAMILIAR WITH WEST GANDY. PRESI A CLINIC RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. SUBJECT SITE IS A COMMUNITY MIXEMTHAT IS PRESENT AROUND BAYSHORE BOULEVARD AND COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35 IN THE RED JUST TO THE WEST OF THE SITE. THE COMMUNITY MIXED USE 35 ACTUALLY WOULD ALLOW FOR GREATER -- MANY USES ARE -- CAN BE CONSIDERED UNDER THAT FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY. WE DID FIND THIS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SINCE THEY ARE ONLY ASKING FOR THREE SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACH UNITS. WE FOUND THAT IT WILL PROVIDE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS COMPARABLE AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUND WILLING AREA. AND ALSO PROVIDE A NICE SENSITIVE TRANSITION FROM THE COMMERCIAL USES TO THE -- TO THE NORTH AND THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED RESIDENCES TO THE SOUTH. SO THE REQUEST IS CONSISTENT WITH LU POLICY 9.7.3. WHICH ENCOURAGES TRANSITION OF DENSITY BETWEEN SINGLE-FAMILY AND MORE INTENSE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES. AGAIN, WEST GANDY BOULEVARD IS A TRANSIT EMPHASIS CORRIDOR AND PLAN PROMOTES INCREASED DENSITY AND GROWTH IN AND ALONG THOSE CORRIDORS. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS. MR. SHELBY, YOU SEE ON THE AGENDA -- YOU GOT THE RIGHT ONE -- >>MARTIN SHELBY: SO THE PUBLIC A AWARE THAT IS FOLLOWING THE AGE. ADDRESS ON THE ORDINANCE IS WRONG. CORRECT ADDRESS IS SOUTH QUINCY AND WHOEVER WILL BE READING THE ORDINANCE, WE HAVE THE CORRECT TITLE TO PASS ALONG. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. YES, SIR. >>SAMUEL THOMAS: SAMUEL THOMAS, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. WE HAVE OUR SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED ON SOUTH QUINCY AVENUE. SOUTH OF GANDY BOULEVARD. COMMERCIAL USES ALONG GANDY BEAUTY BOULEVARD AND SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACH AND AND MULTIFAMILY ALONG GANDY BOULEVARD. APPROVED ,D FOR SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED. SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED HERE. MORE HERE. AND SIGNIFICANT SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED ALONG BAYSHORE BOULEVARD OVER HERE. DECENT AMOUNT OF MULTIFAMILY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF THE AREA. PD FOR SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNIT. AN THEN YOU HAVE MEDICAL USES MERE -- PRIMARY MEDICAL USES ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SUBJECT SITE AND QUICKLY TRANSITIONS TO R-75 FOR DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY USES. LET'S SEE HERE AS WE GO INTO THE SITE PLAN NOW. THIS IS THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSES THREE SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED UNITS. I DO WANT TO PROVIDE SOME BACKGROUND OF AN ASSOCIATED CASE THAT IS RELATED TO THIS APPLICATION. LET'S SEE HERE. SPECIAL USE 1 APPLICATION FOR RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USES WAS DENIED ADMINISTRATIVELY IN JANUARY 2024 DUE TO THE APPLICANT NOT COMPLYING WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF 27-132. A ADMINISTRATIVE DENIAL WAS APPEALED AND UPHELD BY CITY COUNCIL. UPHELD IT CITING THAT THE APPLICANT FAILED TO PROVIDE COMPETENT AND SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE OF SPECIFIC CRITERIA IN 27-132 SHOULD BE WAIVED. THE APPLICANT IS NOW APPLYING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY WITH THIS PD REQUEST. SO -- AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE SENT SECTION 27-132 DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS PD REZONING ACTION. SO THAT IS JUST A QUICK SUMMARY ON THE BACKGROUND OF THIS CASE. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THE THREE UNITS ARE ORIENTED TOWARD SOUTH QUINCY STREET. EACH UNIT HAS A TWO-CAR GARAGE. SO -- LET'S SEE HERE. THERE ARE SEVEN PARKING SPACES REQUIRED AND 12 ARE BEING PROVIDED. YOU HAVE TWO IN EACH OF THE GARAGES AND THE DRIVEWAY IS ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE TWO PARKING SPACES AS WELL. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A FIVE-FOOT SIDEWALK ALONG QUINCY MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT IS 35 FEET FEET. I WILL SHOW YOU THE ELEVATIONS NOW PROPOSED. SORRY. MERE ARE THE ELEVATIONS. THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION. AND THEN HERE ARE YOUR TWO SIDE ELEVATIONS. SOME PICTURES OF THE SUBJECT SITE NOW. THIS IS ALONG QUINCY. THIS IS LOOKING WEST DIRECTLY TO THE SUBJECT SITE. YOU HAVE AN OLD COMMERCIAL BUILDING ON THE SUBJECT SITE AND WHAT LOOKS TO BE A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNIT. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ALONG QUINCY. YOU CAN SEE THAT TRANSITION HAPPENS FROM THE COMMERCIAL USES TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED USES TO THE SOUTH ALONG QUINCY. THIS IS LOOKING NORTH ALONG QUINCY. YOU CAN SEE THE COMMERCIAL USES JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE HERE AND HERE AS WELL. THIS IS LOOKING EAST ACROSS QUINCY AT THE VETERINARIAN CLINIC. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT FARTHER NORTH ON QUINCY. YOU CAN SEE THE START OF THE RESTAURANT THAT SAY LONG GANDY BOULEVARD THERE. THEN HERE IS ANOTHER VIEW LOOKING SOUTH AT THE EXISTING STRUCTURES ON THE SITE AND THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES TO THE SOUTH. AND THEN HERE IS A DIFFERENT ANGLE FROM THE COMMERCIAL USE ACROSS, SO YOU CAN SEE THE SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED. THAT BORDER IS ON THE VETERINARIAN CLINIC ON THE OTHER SIDE. I WILL THROW THE SITE PLAN BACK UP. WHAT I FORGOT EARL REMEMBER, THE APPLICANT DESIGNED THE SITE SO THEY ARE NOT IMPACTING THE CLUSTER OF TREES SO THEY HAVE THEIR PROTECTED RADIUSES AND WON'T BE IMPACTED. I WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW STAFF FOUND IT CONSISTENT. SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE, REVISIONS MUST BE COMPLETED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READINGS. I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. STEVE MICHELINI, REPRESENTING THE PETITIONER. AS STAFF HAS POINTED OUT, WE WERE FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND ALSO WITH THE CITY STAFF. BY RIGHT WE COULD BUILD FIVE UNITS. WE ARE PROPOSING THREE UNITS TO BE ASSURED OF MEETING THE TREE AND LANDSCAPE CODE, AS WELL AS PROVIDING ENHANCED DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS. SO WE ARE EXCEEDING WHAT IS REQUIRED BY THE CITY, TRYING TO BE SENSITIVE TO THE RECENT ISSUES REGARDING FLOODING. THERE ARE NO WAIVERS BEING REQUESTED. WE SHIFTED THE BUILDING SOUTHWARD IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE TREES TO THE NORTH. AND WE ARE PROVIDING THE PARKING THAT IS REQUIRED FOR EACH OF THE UNITS WITH TWO ENCLOSED GARAGE COVERED UNITS EACH. THE NORTH EAST AND WEST ARE ALL CG. AND THE SOUTH IS RS-75. WE HAVE ALSO PROVIDED 17 FEET OF SETBACK ON THE SOUTH SIDE, WHICH INCLUDES THE TEN-FOOT ALLEY, AS WELL AS AN ADDITIONAL SEVEN FEET ON OUR SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. WE ARE PROTECTING THE TREE CANOPY FROM MEETING THE GREEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS. WE ARE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL OF THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE -- THAT ARE SHOWN AND DEVELOPED IN THE A ERA. I WANTED TO SHOW YOU THIS QUICKLY. TO SHOW YOU HOW WE SHIFTED THE BUILDINGS TO ACCOMMODATE THE TREE CANOPY. AND THEN THIS IS THE -- THIS IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY SHOWING YOU THAT THE LAND USES SURROUDING THIS ARE ALL 35 UNITS TO THE ACRE. AND THIS IS THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY HERE. AND QUINCY -- SHOWING YOU THE DOORS AND THE GARAGES ALL FACE QUINCY. SO THEY ARE ALL FRONT-FACING. SO STAFF HAS ALREADY SHOWED YOU THE PICTURES REGARDING -- REGARD CAN THE SURROUNDING USES. WE ARE AS I SAID -- WE HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE COMPATIBILITY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USE CODE. I HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER PICTURES TO SHOW YOU. THIS IS THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH, WHICH IS THE RESTAURANT. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH TOWARD THE -- TOWARD THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. YOU SEE THIS IS A -- A HEAR SALON HERE. THIS IS TO BE REMOVED. THIS IS THE VETERINARY CLINIC. THIS PROPERTY WILL ALIGN WITH THE VETERINARY CLINIC ACROSS THE STREET. WHICH IS A MUCH MORE INTENSIVE USE. AS THE STAFF HAS POINTED OUT, A COMPATIBLE TRANSITION PROJECT THAT IS BEING PROPOSED AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. THE SETBACK ON THE WEST SIDE IS 15 FEET TO THE BUILDING AND FIVE FEET TO THE DECK. AND BELOW THE DECK IS THE RETENTION AREA. SO WE ARE RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING YOUR APPROVAL. I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON ITEM 15? YES, COME ON UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> SANDRA MARTIN. ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNER. I HAVE A COPY OF MY NOTES FOR EVERYONE ON THE COUNCIL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YEAH, IF YOU WANT TO GIVE. >> I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS AND TI TIRED. SOMETHING THAT I WILL SPEAK ON. MANISCALCO JOHNTHAN AHEAD. >> SANDRA MARTIN. I AM THE ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNER TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY THAT WAS NEVER SHOWN DURING ANY OF THE PICTURES. ABSOLUTELY NOT ONE SHOT OF MY PROPERTY THAT RUNS DIRECTLY BEHIND. THIS DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN RIGHTFULLY TURNED DOWN TWICE, ATTEMPTING TO REZONE THIS NONCONFORMING PROPERTY TO RESIDENTIAL. IT HAS BEEN TURNED DOWN ONCE BY THE ST. CITY OF TAMPA ZONING DEPARTMENT. TURNED DOWN BY THE TAMPA CITY COUNCIL. NOW THE DEVELOPER IS TRYING TO SNEAK IN A NEW RESIDENTIAL REZONE VIA PD ZONE FORMAT. I THINK THIS IS REALLY ABSURD. I AM THE ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNER AND STRONGLY CONTEST ANY PD REZONING ATTEMPTS. ALL ABUTTING PROPERTY OWNERS CONTEST THE REZONING AS WELL. THE RECORD SHOULD SHOW THAT LAWRENCE GARCIA SUBMITTED A REBUTTAL AND COOK'S ENGLISH KITCHEN ALSO SUBMITTED A REBUTTAL TO THE REZONING. THEY ALSO SUBMITTED PICTURES OF THE -- OF THE STORMWATER DRAINAGE OR RUNOFF THAT WE HAVE DURING -- DURING THE ROUTINE STORMS -- NOT JUST THE HEAVY STORMS, BUT DURING ROUTINE STORMS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ADEQUATE STORMWATER DRAINAGE AROUND THE LOCATION. THIS IS ONE REASON WE BELIEVE THAT THE ZONING SHOULD BE DENIED. GOING ON TO BULLET NUMBER THREE. GRANTING ANYTHING LESS THAN THE CURRENT RESIDENTIAL ZONING IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THEY ARE REQUESTING THAT FROM A 20-FOOT SETBACK TO A 15 WITH A MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT, WHICH LEAVES THE PERMEABLE AREA BEING TAKEN AWAY. SO ANY TYPE OF STORMWATER DRAINAGE WOULD GO INTO MY PROPERTY. LIKE I SAID, I LIVE TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY. ONCE YOU START BUILDING THIS PARTICULAR -- ONCE YOU START BUILDING THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING, YOU ARE GOING TO GO UP 11 FEET ON ONE SIDE OF MY PROPERTY. I ALREADY HAVE 11 FEET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MY PROPERTY. GUESS WHERE ALL THE RAIN WATER GOES TO, ALL THE STORMWATER, DIRECTLY INTO MY PROPERTY. GOES DIRECTLY ON TO MY PROPERTY. THE NATURAL RUNOFF THAT WOULD BE -- THE NATURAL RUNOFF IS NOW BLOCKED BY THIS RAISING OF THE PROPERTY, ALONG THE TREE LINES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: INDUSTRIAL 30 SECONDS. >> 30 SECONDS OF FOLLOW-UP. THERE WAS A POINT -- LIKE I SAID THEY WERE GOING TO PUT A STORMWATER IN, BUT I WOULD BE THE ONE WITH THE RETENTION POND. RIGHT NOW I AM CURRENTLY RETENTION POND. I REQUEST THAT ANY SETBACKS AND REDUCTIONS FOR THIS PROJECT BE DENIED AND HOW IT WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY AND ABUTTING OWNERS. WHAT I BELIEVE ARE ZONING CODES ARE PUT INTO PLACE SO PROPERTY OWNER AND PRESENT AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ARE PROTECTED. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> YOU ARE WELCOME. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS STEPHANIE POYNOR. WANT TO POINT THIS OUT TO YOU. THIS FRONT EASEMENT IS THE FRONT YARD -- THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, RIGHT. THEY SHOWED IT TO YOU. HERE IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS. THEY ARE COUNTING THOSE AS PARKING SPACES. SO THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE IS ONLY GOING TO BE 15 FEET FROM THE ROAD. AND YOU GOT A FIVE-FOOT SIDEWALK IN THERE. I WANT Y'ALL TO LOOK AT THIS. LOOK AT THE WIDTH OF -- THE LENGTH OF ALL OF THESE VEHICLES. I AM SURE YOU WILL SEE A FAMILIAR ONE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YEAH, I DO. >> ONLY ONE ON THERE THAT IS LESS THAN 15 FEET. YOU CAN'T PARK THERE. YOU CAN'T PARK IN THOSE DRIVEWAYS. Y'ALL DON'T DRIVE GIANT VEHICLES. YES, MA'AM, THEY ARE YOUR CARS. I DID IT -- I DID IT LAST WEEK. I DID IT LAST WEEK DURING DAY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: VERY CREATIVE. >> YOUR CAR PARKING SPACES ARE LABELED. GIVE ME A BREAK. THE STAFF REPORT SAYS -- THE STAFF REPORT SAYS IT REQUIRES SEVEN PARK SPACES. IF YOU CAN'T PARK IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE, IT HOME HAS SIX. NEXT THING. I NEED TO SCROLL OUT. ALL RIGHT. SO THE LOT SIZE IS 7906. AND THE STAFF REPORT SAYS YOU CONDITION BUILD ANYTHING ON A 7906 LOT BECAUSE HAS TO BE 10,000 SQUARE FEET FOR COMMERCIAL .GUESS WHAT, IF YOU DO THE MATH AND THESE NIFTY LITTLE SETBACKS, 3509 SQUARE FEET THAT YOU WILL SUBTRACT FROM THAT. BUT I JUST CONFIRMED WITH MR. SCOTT, THAT MOST DRIVEWAYS ARE 18 FEET WIDE FOR A TWO-CAR DRIVEWAY. 18 TIMES 50 IS 270. WITH OUR QUARTERBACKS, WE ARE AT 5126 IMPERMEABLE SPOTS. SO THAT PUTS THEM AT 64% IMPERMEABLE. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT. IT IS IT IS 50%. THAT'S THE RULE. AND THESE POOR FOLKS NEXT DOOR -- THE YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE STUFF FROM COOK'S. THEY HAVE TWO INCHES OF WATER ON A RAINY DAY AT COOK'S. OKAY. THE OWNER WASN'T ABLE TO BE HERE TONIGHT. I GAVE YOU THE SU-1. THE FIRST ONE, THE SU-1, THE SECOND ONE. YOU GUYS. THEY BROUGHT IT THROUGH HERE FOR A PETITION OF REVIEW IN MAY. WHY ARE WE EVEN TALKING ABOUT THIS AGAIN? HERE WE GO AGAIN. IT HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN SIX MONTHS. AND WE ARE ROLLING THE DICE. YOU KNOW WHAT, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. IF YOU LOOK IN THE PACKET THAT GAVE YOU, SAME SITE PLANS, SAME ELEVATIONS. ALL THE SAME CRAP. AND THE STAFF REPORT TELLS THEM TO GO AND LABEL IT ALL. SO THEY JUST LEFT IT UNLABELED ALL THREE TIMES THEY APPLIED FOR IT AND DIDN'T BOTHER TO PUT IT ON THERE. GIVE ME A BREAK. THIS IS A CRAPPY PLAN. A CRAPPY PLAN ONCE. A CRAPPY PLAN TWICE AN A CRAPPY PLAN THE THIRD TIME. I GAVE YOU THE REASON TO DENY IT FROM COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AT THE END. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN MR. SHELBY, DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK? >>MARTIN SHELBY: FOR THE PURPOSE AND I BELIEVE STAFF DID MENTION THIS WITH REGARD TO THE SU-1, AND THE SU-1 CRITERIA IS DIFFERENT THAN THE PD CRITERIA IN FRONT OF. AND THE DECISION HAS TO BE PACED ON THE -- >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ON THE SU-1. >>MARTIN SHELBY: NOT ON THE SU-1 BUT THE PD REQUEST. THAT IS WHAT THE BASIC DETERMINATIONS ARE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE? NO IN MR. MICHELINI, YOU HAVE REBUTTAL SIR? >> HALF OF WHAT WAS SAID WAS INACCURATE. WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE TWO ENCLOSED CAR SPACES AND THOSE ARE PROVIDED WITH IN THE DEPTH OF THOSE GARAGES ARE 22 FEET IN DEPTH. THE DIMENSION FROM THE EDGE OF THE BUILDING TO THE EDGE OF THE PROPERTY LINE IS 18 FEET, NOT 15 FEET. THOSE ARE SUPPLEMENTAL PARKING AREAS. THOSE ARE NOT REQUIRED PARKING AREAS. AS I SAID TO YOU, WE REDUCED THE -- REREDUCED THE NUMBER OF UNITS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MET GREEN SPACE. TO MAKE SURE WE MET DRAINAGE. YOU CAN NOT WAIVE DRAINAGE. SO WE CAN NOT -- WE CAN NOT TAKE WATER FROM THIS SITE AND PUT IT ON TO ANOTHER SITE. IT IS NOT ALLOWED. ALL OF WHAT IS REQUIRED BY THE -- BY THE CODE HAS TO BE RETAINED AND PLACED ON THIS SITE. AS I -- AS -- REFRESH YOUR MEMORY ABOUT THE ANALYSIS. AND IT WAS FOUND TO BE CONSISTENT FROM THE CITY STAFF. WAS DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENT, GROUND FLOOR ENTRANCES NEWS FACE THE FRONT YARD. PROPOSED PLAN MEETS THESE REQUIREMENTS. AUTO STORAGE AREA PROVIDED IN THE FRONT OR CORNER YARD FOR TWO REQUIRED SPACE SHALL BE ENCLOSED. THAT CRITERIA IS MET. FEW THEIR BE THREE UNITS MUST -- SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED CONTINUOUS CONFIGURATION. WE HAVE. WE HAVE THREE UNITS AND NOT EIGHT. THE ELEVATION SUBMITTED MUST DEPICT WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING TO CONSTRUCT. AND THAT IS CONSISTENT AND COMPATIBLE AS BOTH THE CITY STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION WERE POINTED OUT. PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED CG. AND SO -- I AM NOT SURE WHERE THEY GOT THE INFORMATION THAT THIS WAS CHANGING FROM COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL. IT IS A DOWNZONING. NOT AN INCREASE OF ZOE ZONING. I WILL SHOW YOU AGAIN THE AREA PHOTOGRAPH OF THE PROXIMITY. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THEY WERE REFERRING TO. WAS THIS PROPERTY HERE HAS -- HAS THE SAME -- IT IS CC-35. AND -- AND IT IS COMMERCIAL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN THEY ARE TALKING OF INVADING THEIR PROPERTY. THESE PROPERTIES BACK UP TO THE BACK OF THIS BUILDING WITH THE RETENTION AREAS IN THE BACK UNDERNEATH THE ENTIRE AREA AND DECKS PROVIDED ARE OVER THE RETENTION AREA. PROVIDED THE GREEN SPACE. SHIFTED THE BUILDINGS BACK TO PROTECT THE TREE CANOPY THAT IS HERE. WE ARE ADJACENT TO THE -- TO THE MEDICAL OFFICE WHICH IS THE VETERINARY CLINIC HERE. IF YOU LOOK AT THIS PROPERTY LINE, ADDITIONAL APPROXIMATELY 17 FEET FROM THAT PROPERTY LINE TO THE EDGE OF THE PAVEMENT. SO YOU HAVE -- YOU HAVE THAT PLUS -- PLUS THE 18 FEET HERE PLUS THE ENCLOSED GARAGES. AGAIN, THE CRITERIA HERE IS FOR A PD. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO A LOT OF DETAIL ABOUT THE SPECIAL USE. IT HAS TO DUE WITH ACCESS AND MET GOING INTO THE PD PROCESS. I WILL SHOW YOU A SECTION. THIS IS THE REAR SHOWING YOU THE DRAINAGE UNDERNEATH. DECK AND THE EDGE OF THE BUILDING BEING 15 FEET. THAT IS -- THAT IS COMPATIBLE AND CONSISTENT WITH EVERYTHING IN THE AREA, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE OTHER MULTIPLE TOWN HOUSES THAT ARE JUST HALF A BLOCK AWAY SO I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY MORE QUESTIONS THANK YOU ABOUT THE DRAINAGE ISSUE. IT IS SIMPLY -- IT IS SIMPLY INACCURATE. WE WENT OUT AND WE ALSO DID A SURVEY. WE HAVE THE SURVEY HERE SHOWING THAT THE PROPERTIES GOING TOWARD GANDY BOULEVARD ARE HIGHER THAN OUR PROPERTY. SO THE WATER THAT IS COMING -- IS COMING DOWN. IT IS NOT GOING UPHILL. BUT WE ARE TREATING THE OFF-SITE WATER AS WELL AS OUR WATER. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COULD YOU PUT THE SITE PLAN BACK UP THERE FOR US. >> WHICH SITE PLAN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SHOWING THE SETBACKS. EXPLAIN TO ME AGAIN, SO THE ROAD -- >> THE EDGE OF PAVEMENT IS OUT -- IS OUT HERE. THIS IS THE -- THIS IS THE -- >> THAT IS -- THE EASEMENT? >> THAT IS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. THAT IS QUINCY. SO YOU HAVE -- YOU HAVE QUINCY. YOU HAVE THIS -- THIS DIMENSION HERE. PLUS YOU HAVE THIS DIMENSION HERE. WHICH IS ON OUR PROPERTY. THIS DIMENSION HERE IS 18 FEET. THE DIMENSION THAT IS INSIDE THE GARAGES, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LISTENED TO COUNCIL' DISCUSSION ABOUT DON'T BRING A 20-FOOT GARAGE DEPTH INTO US. SO THEY ARE ALL 22 FEET IN DEPTH. SO YOU HAVE 22 FEET HERE. ANOTHER 18 FEET HERE. AND ANOTHER 17 FEET BETWEEN THE PROPERTY LINE AND THE EDGE OF PAVEMENT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY. SETBACK UPON THE BACK -- WE COVERED THAT. >> 15 FEET HERE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SOUTHERN SIDE. >> SEVEN FEET. SEVEN FEET ON OUR SIDE AND THE 10 FOOT ALLEY WHICH HAS NOT BEEN VACATED. WE SHIFTED THE BUILDING UP HERE WHICH IS -- THE LINE TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE TREES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BY RIGHT, THIS PROPERTY WAS DEVELOPED WITH THE EUCLIDIAN ZONING, WHAT WOULD BE THE SETBACKS IN. >> TEN FEET ON EACH SIDE AND I THINK IT IS -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: LET ME ASK STAFF THAT. >> STAFF CAN ANSWER THAT. CG. >> SHOULD BE 10 AND ZERO ON OTHER SIDES. SETBACKS DRASTICALLY LOWER THAN WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED RIGHT NOW. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IT WOULD BE SUBSTANTIAL AMLY WORSE AS FAR AS PERMANENTABLE SURFACE. >> COMPARED TO THESE, YES, THE QUARTERBACKS WILL BE DRASTICALLY REDUCED, BUT GETTING WHETHER THIS WILL BE DEVELOPED BY RIGHTS IS ANOTHER CAN OF WORMS. >> YOU CAN'T WAIVE THE STORMWATER REGARDLESS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I UNDERSTAND. >> AND WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED HERE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. SHELBY? >>MARTIN SHELBY: I JUST WANTED TO -- THE EUCLIDIAN ZONING WHICH IS CG. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYBODY ELSE? IS THERE A MOTION -- YES, MA'AM. >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAD A QUESTION FOR STAFF. IF COULD YOU PUT THE -- PUT THE SITE PLAN BACK UP. I WILL ADMIT, I DID HAVE THIS QUESTION. BUT WHEN SOMEONE BROUGHT IT UP. PERMEABLE SURFACE. TALK TO ME ABOUT PERMEABLE SURFACE. HOW MUCH PERMEABLE SURFACE IS ON HERE. >> I WILL BE HONEST, I WON'T BE ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS WELL OF PERMEABLE SERVICE. THAT IS NOT TYPICALLY A REVIEWER WHO WORKS WITH ME AND NOT SOMETHING I TYPICALLY REVIEW UNDER. I CAN TELL YOU THINK STORMWATER RETENTION THAT IS OVER 50%. IF THEY GO OVER 50% OF PERMEABLE SURFACES, THEY HAVE TO RETAIN ALL THE STORMWATER ON THEIR SITE NO MATTER WHAT EVEN THEY GO OVER 50%. YOU CAN PROBABLY FIND IT ON THERE. >> THE DRIVEWAYS ARE ALL PERSONALABLE. >>LYNN HURTAK: 57. HOW IS THAT NOT A WAIVER? >>DANNY COLLINS: JONATHAN, DO YOU KNOW? >> JONATHAN SCOTT, 57%. IT IS NOT A WAIVER. >>DANNY COLLINS: 57% PERSONALIOUS. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. >>DANNY COLLINS: DIDN'T GO OVER THE IMPERIOUS. A TECHNICAL STANDARD THAT CAN'T BE WAIVED. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, A MOTION TO CLOSE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION TO CLOSE. >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON. COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I AM GOING TO READ THIS AND SUPPORT IT. HOSTLY BECAUSE AS THAT QUESTION I ASKED OF EUCLIDIAN ZONING WHAT IS ALLOWED ON THE PROPERTY AND DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW IS LESS INTENSE AND WE JUST DISCOVERED THAT 57% PERMEABLE SURFACE. SO I AM READING ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF 4901 AND 4093 SOUTH QUINCY STREET IN SECTION 1 FROM ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATIONS CG COMMERCIAL GENERAL TO PD. PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA. WE HAVE MR. SHELBY, COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, GO AHEAD. >>LYNN HURTAK: I -- I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE YOU WITH. BY JUST -- I DON'T THINK THIS PROMOTES AND ENCOURAGES DEVELOPMENT WHERE IT IS APPROPRIATE IN LOCATION, CHARACTER AND COMPATIBILITY. SO I AM GOING TO SAY NO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ROLL CALL VOTE. >>LYNN HURTAK: NO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YES. >>GWEN HENDERSON: NO. >>LUIS VIERA: YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>BILL CARLSON: NO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>CLERK: MOTION PASSES WITH HURTAK, HENDERSON AND CARLSON VOTING NO.

TO THE EAST IS THE DENTIST OFFICE, BUT SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED ALONG WEST GRAY STREET. SO WE DEFINITELY SEE THAT PATTERN ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

AND RESIDENTIAL-10 IN THE SURROUNDING AREA AS WELLREQUEST -- THE FUTURE LAND USE IS RESIDENTIAL-20. AS LACHONE OPENED AND POINTED OUT, ASKING FOR BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL OFFICE USE.

I MADE FRIENDS WITH MY NEIGHBORS TO THE RIGHT OF ME. I HAVE A LAW OFFICE. TO THE LEFT OF ME, I HAD A GENTLEMAN THAT HAD A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME. WHEN HE WAS READY TO SELL, HE CAME OVER AND OFFERED ME FIRST RIGHT OF PURCHASE. AND I SNAPPED IT UP IN A HEARTBEAT. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT HOME WAS JUST IN DISARRAY AND REALLY UNSALVAGEABLE. SO WE HAD TO TEAR IT DOWN. I BOUGHT THAT PROPERTY IN 2022. RIGHT AFTER I FORMED A NEW LAW PRACTICE. AND TOOK ON TWO PARTNER. ONE OF MY PARTNER IS HERE TODAY. PROBASCO BANE. WITH MORE PEOPLE, WE NEED MORE SPACE. I HAVE THE PROPERTIES TO THE SOUTH OF THE EMPTY LOT CURRENTLY IS A DENTIST. AND SO IT IS -- IT IS PRETTY MUCH A PROFESSIONAL ROW OF PEOPLE.

CURRENTLY, THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH IN 200 WAS REZONE TO A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW FOR PROFESSIONAL OFFICE. WHERE THE CURRENT OFFICE IS. PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH RETAINS THAT RM-16 ZONING. WE ARE PROPOSE TO REZONE THE TWO PROPERTY TOGETHER INTO A NEW PLAN DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW FOR PROFESSIONAL OFFICE. WE ARE COMPLYING WITH THE MAXIMUM F.A.R. OF 0.5 WHICH COMES FROM UNDER LYING FUTURE LAND USE MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT OF 35 FEET. WE ARE WITHIN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. PROJECT HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY CITY STAFF AND FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERLAY STANDARDS. WE HAVE A FEW WAIVERS AND THE MEAT OF WHAT I WANTED TO DISCUSS YOU WITH TODAY. THE FIRST WAIVER WE ARE LOOKING AT IS A BUFFER. I WOULDN'T CALL IT A REDUCTION. WE ARE TILL PROPOSING FOR A MINIMUM 15-FOOT-WIDE BUFFER, BUT WHAT WE ARE REQUESTING WITH THIS WAIVER TO ALLOW FOR THE -- AN EXISTING HEDGE AND EXISTING TREES ALONG EAST PROPERTY LINE. WE ARE HOPING TO RETAIN THOSE AND CREATE A MORE NATURAL BUFFER OPPOSED TO COMING IN AND PUTTING A SOLID WALL UP THERE WHICH WOULD REQUIRE ESSENTIALLY ALL THAT VEGETATION WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED BECAUSE OF THE FOOTS WITH THE WALL. WE ARE HOPING TO JUST EXTEND THE SIX-FOOT-TALL HEDGE ALONG -- BASICALLY FILL IN THE PROPERTY LINE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE HEDGE. THE SECOND WAIVER -- THING IS A LITTLE MORE NUANCED AND WANTED TO PUT IT IN TO DOT ALL YOU HAVE OUR NILLIs AND CROSS ALL OF OUR Ts. OVERLAY DOESN'T SPECIFICALLY STATE THAT -- IT SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT PARKING NEEDS TO BE IN THE SIDE AND THE REAR BUT DOESN'T DISCUSS CORNER YARDS. WE SPECIFICALLY PUT THIS WAIVER IN JUST IN CASE TO ALLOW PARKING ON A CORNER YARD. TO THE NORTH -- TO THE PROPERTY LINE ALONG THE NORTH. IT IS ESSENTIALLY -- -- A CORNER YARD THAT BUNCHESES AS SIDE YARD. STAFF AGREED WITH US AND FOUND CONSISTENCY WITH THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY. THE SECOND AND FOURTH WAIVERS ARE SETBACK REDUCTIONS. AGAIN THESE ARE A LITTLE MORE NUANCED. NOT SETBACKS FOR THE BUILDING. WHAT WE HAVE GOT GOING ON -- A LOT OF ELEVATION CHANGE ON THIS SITE. WE HAVE TO PUT STAIRS IN A VERY LARGE ADA RAMP TO GET PEDESTRIAN ACCESS FROM THE SIDEWALK ALONG NORTH ARMENIA UP TO OUR BUILDING. AND SO WHAT -- THE PROJECTION OF THE SETBACK IS NOT THE BLACK, BEFORE THE STEPS AND THE ADA RAMP. IN COORDINATION WITH STAFF, WE NEEDED TO PUT THOSE IN AS WAIVERS TO ALLOW THE RAMP AND THE STAIRS IN THE SETBACK. THEN FINALLY, AGAIN, ON THE PARKING REDUCTION WAIVER, WE ARE ASKING FOR A WAIVER TO GO FROM 16 PEACESPACES TO 15 SPACES. PARKING IS BASE ON GROSS FLOOR AREA AND BEING WE HAVE AN ELEVATED BUILDING WITH PARKING OVER WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO SPACE - PROVIDE. WE HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE GROSS FLOOR AIR I CAN'T HAVE THE BUILDING WHICH INCLUDES TWO STAIRWELLS TO GET UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR. SO WHEN YOU ADD IN THE AIR I CAN'T HAVE THE STAIRWELLS, WHICH IS TECHNICALLY -- REALLY NOT A USABLE SPACE IN THE BUILDING ONCE YOU GET IN THE OFFICE AREA. THAT KICKS US ONE SPACE OVER WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE. WE HAVE REVIEW THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN SIMILAR TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. WE AGREE THAT WE BELIEVE IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LOCATIONAL CRITERIA. WE BELIEVE IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA, WITH THE DENTAL OFFICE TO SOUTH. LAW OFFICES TO THE NORTH AND WEST. STAFF REVIEWED THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN. WANT TO POINT OUT THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE THE ADA RAMP AND THE STAIRS THAT COME DOWN NECESSITATING THE TWO SETBACK REDUCTION WAIVERS. FINALLY AND STAFF SHOWED THE ELEVATIONS OF THE BUILDING. WE THINK IT BRINGS OUT SOME TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE THAT WE HOPE WILL GAIN YOUR APPROVAL. SO AT THIS POINT, THAT IS ALL I WANTED TO GO OVER. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THEN IN THE PUBLIC WISHES TO SPEAK ON EYE 16? I SEE NOBODY. THIS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SECOND MOTION. >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK? >>LYNN HURTAK: IS THERE A REVISION SHEET? >> YES. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU FILE NUMBER REZ-4-80, ORDINANCE PRESENTED FOR FIRST READIN CONSIDERATION, ORDINANCE IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF 1007 AND 1011 NORTH ARMENIA AVENUE IN CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA, PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1, ZONING DIS DISTRICT RM-16, RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY TO PD, PROFESSIONAL OFFICE AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND REVISION SHEET. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MA IN MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. SECONDED FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED? >>CLERK: MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY WITH MIRANDA ABSTAINING. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE DECEMBER 35, 2024 AT 10 A.M. IN CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 315 KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. TWO MORE ITEMS. ITEM NUMBER 17. >> GOOD EVENING, STEVE KNEE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. ONLY ITEM NUMBER 17, REZ-24-81. REQUEST TO REZONE 3109 N. BOULEVARD FROM RESIDENTIAL 50 TO RESIDENTIAL OFFICE. HE WILL TURN IT OVER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. >>JENNIFER MALONE: JENNIFER MALONE WITH YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. WE ARE IN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLAN DISTRICT IN THE TAMPA HEIGHTS URBAN VILLAGE ALONG N. BOULEVARD AND AT THE CORNER OF NORTH BOULEVARD. WEST PLYMOUTH STREET TO THE NORTH. TO THE EAST OF THE SITE, WE HAVE PLYMOUTH PARK. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WE NEED TO TRANSITION OUR SCREENS TO THE PRESENTATION. >>JENNIFER MALONE: SORRY. THERE WE GO. GO AHEAD, MA'AM. >>JENNIFER MALONE: THANKS. N. BOULEVARD. WEST BRADDOCK STREET. TO THE NORTH WE HAVE PLYMOUTH PARK. THERE IS A TECO SUBSTATION. RADIANT CHURCH. WOODLAWN CEMETERY. THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE. THIS PARCEL UP HERE WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT IN JUST A MOMENT WHEN I GO THROUGH OUR ANALYSIS. AGAIN, THE FUTURE LAND USE IS RESIDENTIAL-10. THERE IS SOME SUBURBAN MIXED USE -- THAT IS THIS PEACHY COLOR ALONG NORTH BEAUTIFUL. THE GREEN IS THE PLYMOUTH PARK, THAT IS RECOGNIZES RATIONAL OPEN SPACE. BLUE IS PUBLIC. THE PORTION OF THE CEMETERY THAT IS NOT DESIGNATED AS THE CEMETERY IS BLUE FOR PUBLIC USE. THERE IS THE RADIANT CHURCH WITHIN THE SAME BLOCK. THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU FOR RESIDENTIAL OFFICE. AS I SAID, THE FUTURE LAND USE IS RESIDENTIAL-10. AND RESIDENTIAL-10, IT IS IT CONSISTENT WITH LOCATIONAL CRITERIA. RESIDENTIAL-10 LOCATIONAL CRITERIA IS VERY STRICT BECAUSE THIS IS A SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED CATEGORY PRIMARILY FOR RESIDENTIAL USES. AND WE WANT TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT AND ALSO RETAINING LAND FOR RESIDENTIAL USES AS WELL. THE CRITERIA STATES THAT 50% OF BLOCK HAS TO BE ZONED COMMERCIAL. AND -- FOR THIS COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OFFICE USES WITHIN THE BLOCK WHICH IS WEST BRADDOCK TO WEST PLYMOUTH. THIS PARCEL IS THE PARTIAL ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USES. AND I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO MUCH INTO ZONING. I AM SURE CITY STAFF WILL DO THIS. I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THE LANGUAGE SAYS 50% OR MORE OF THE BLOCK FACE -- IT HAS TO BE IN THE PROPOSED -- THE PROPOSED HAS TO BE ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USES. SO THAT IS WHAT WE ARE -- THAT IS THE CRITERIA WE ARE REVIEWING THIS UNDER. THAT IS WHY THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND THIS INSTINCT. 50% HAS TO BE ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USES. OF COURSE, IT IS STILL BEFORE YOU AND ULTIMATELY THE DECISION OF TAMPA CITY COUNCIL. WE FELT THIS WOULD BE A COMMERCIAL ENCROACHMENT OF A NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE DID NOT FEEL THIS WAS BEST USE OF PROPERTY UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL-10 LAND USE CATEGORY. I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? NO? ALL RIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COME ON UP. >> STEPHANIE POPE, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A CORRECTION TO THE RECORD. AS YOU HEARD FROM PLANNING COMMISSION, THEY ARE FINDINGS WERE INCONSISTENT. THE STAFF REPORT FIND THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS BEING CONSISTENT; HOW FAR, THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AS THEIR REPORT HAS BEEN FOUND INCONSISTENT. WE WILL START WITH AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED. SUBJECT SITE LOCATED EAST OF N. BOULEVARD. SOUTH OF WEST PLYMOUTH STREET. EAST OF NORTH MASSACHUSETTS PEACH AND NORTH OF WEST WEST STREET. DIRECTLY NORTH, SOUTH AND EAST OF THE SUBJECT, IS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED PARCELS. AND MOVING FURTHER WEST ARE FOR RESIDENTIAL OFFICE USE. TO THE NORTH OF THE SITE APPROVED IN 004 -- AND THAT WILL BE UP HERE -- IS -- IS UNDER FILE NUMBER Z 04-2 IS AN OFFICE USE. YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE HERE. THIS IS N. BOULEVARD. THERE IS NORTH MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE. WEST PLYMOUTH. AND THERE ARE A FEW OF THE RESIDENTIAL OFFICE USES SURROUNDING AS WELL AS SOME PD IN THAT AREA. NEXT, HE WILL PUT UP A SURVEY. AND HERE YOU CAN SEE THIS IS A LOOK AT THE SURVEY OF THE PROPERTY. YOU CAN SEE THE OUTLINE OF THE PARCEL. THE ASKED RO ZONING IS PATTERN IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. DEVELOPMENT PATTERN SURROUNDING THE SUBJECT SITE IS A SMALL SINGLE-FAMILY DETACH UNITS AND RESIDENTIAL OFFICES. SINCE THIS IS A EUCLIDIAN REZONING NO SITE PLANS OR ELEVATIONS. NEXT HE WILL PUT UP PICTURES OF THE SITE. OOVPS HERE IS A F-- HERE IS A PHOTO OF THE FRONT OF SITE. A PHOTO SHOWING REAR OF THE SITE. THIS IS LOOKING NORTH OF THE SITE. AND HERE IS THE SUBJECT SITE RIGHT HERE. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH. THIS IS A LOOKING EAST. AND THIS IS LOOKING WEST ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SUBJECT SITE. GIVEN THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN ON N. BOULEVARD, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION STAFF FINDS THE REQUEST TO BE KENT WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? NOPE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPLICANT, COME ON UP. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING, SAYS BELL ALBERT FOR THE RECORD. I AM CERTIFIED PLANNER AND REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT WHO IS ALSO THE PROPERTY OWNER. FOR THIS SITE, MR. AND ANDREW SCARPENETO. AS YOU HEARD TONIGHT, THE SITE IS LOCATED 109 N. BOULEVARD ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF BRADDOCK. AND THIS IS TO SHOW YOU WHERE IT IS IN RELATIONSHIP WITH N. BOULEVARD HOW IT IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE BUT CLOSER TO COLUMBUS. CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE IS RESIDENTIAL-10 AND ZONING IS RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY 50. AND I THINK I NEED TO SHOW A BETTER PICTURE OF THE AREA AS YOU JUST HEARD RIGHT NOW OR EARLIER. THIS IS -- YOU WILL NOTICE ALONG N. BOULEVARD -- THIS IS THE N. BOULEVARD HERE. USES ARE ACTUALLY PREDOMINANTLY NOT AS RESIDENTIAL. YOU HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL OFFICE. YOU HAVE THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. BUT RESIDENTIAL OFFICE IS FOR RESIDENTS THAT ARE CONVERTED TO OFFICE. AND WHO THAT, THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS TYPICALLY WHEN YOU SEE THESE AREAS MORPHING INTO THAT KIND. SO A LITTLE BIT MORE HERE. THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE. YOU SAW THE PICTURES OF THE TWO OFFICES ACROSS THE STREET. THIS IS A FIRE STATION. AND TO THE NORTH SIDE IS A MEDICAL AND OFFICE BUILDING. AND FURTHER TO THE NORTH ARE THE OFFICE USE. THE APPLICANT, HE LIVES IN THE AREA. AND HE HAS HIS OWN BUSINESS. AND HE IS LOOKING FOR AN OFFICE. SO WHEN HE SAW THIS HOME THAT WAS AVAILABLE, AND HE SAW WHAT WAS GOING ON NORTH AND SOUTH. HE SAID THIS WILL BE GREAT FOR ME FOR MY OWN PERSONAL USE TO HAVE MY OFFICE AS A RESIDENTIAL OFFICE. AND THIS IS WHY TODAY WE ARE PROVIDE HAVING REQUEST FOR THIS. RESIDENTIAL OFFICE IS FOR PREDOMINANTLY RESIDENTIAL AND OFFICE. THOSE ARE THE TWO USES. THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE BOTH OF THOSE NAMES IN THE ZONING DISTRICT. IT WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ALLOW NONRESIDENTIAL AND RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS TO CREATE A BALANCE. AND IT IS DUE BECAUSE OF NATURE OF THE URBAN CONDITIONS, AND THIS IN CASE, N. BOULEVARD IS AN ARTERIAL. YOU JUST HEARD EARLIER. WE SAID ARTERIAL. ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE CLASSIFICATIONS. AS WELL AS IT ENCOURAGES THE REHAB OF EXISTING STRUCTURE, WHICH IS WHAT THE APPLICANT WANTS TO DO. HE WANTS TO CONVERT THIS HOUSE TO HIS OWN PERSONAL OFFICE. NOW TO ALLOW AS YOU HEARD AN OFFICE COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL RO INTO THE RESIDENTIAL-10, YOU HAVE TO MEET THE COMMERCIAL LOCATION CRITERIA. AND PLANNING COMMISSION, UNFORTUNATELY, IS BOUND BY THE EXACT WORDING. AND SHE IS CORRECT -- JENNIFER IS CORRECT, FOR ZONING. BUT WE HAVE HERE THE RO, WHICH IS CONSIDERED COMMERCIAL ZONING THAT SHE WAS REFERENCING TOO. THAT WAS 100 FEET. WHOLE BLOCK IS 5 5 FP /* /*5,000 NIGHT. THE DENTAL OFFICE, 50 FEET YOU MEET THE MINIMUM 50%. BUT STATED THEY ARE BOUND BY THE WORDING OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IF YOU LOOK AT THE SITE, IT IS NOTES -- NOT ZONED RO OR PD, BUT IN EXISTENCE SINCE 19 6. 56 YEARS AGO. IT HAVEN'T DEVELOPED. IT HAVEN'T CHANGED SENSE THEN. AND I THINK THAT DESERVES RECOGNITION OF BEING A ESTABLISHED OFFICE USE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT IS NOT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE IT IS NOT ZONED CORRECTLY. IT IS AN ESTABLISHED USE. THEREFORE, I THINK -- I THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TOWARD THAT 50% OF THE -- OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION. I DON'T SEE ANYONE HERE EXCEPT THIS ONE GENTLEMAN. SO -- BUT, AGAIN, WE -- ALL WE WANT TO DO IS CONVERT THIS TO A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE HERE JUST DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS TO SHOW YOU THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO MEET THOSE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. FOR THE RECORD, THE STAFF FINDINGS -- BUT THERE IS ALSO POLICIES. RIGHT NOW IN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT DOES SUPPORT THIS. YOU LOOK AT POLICY 1.2. RESPECTING THE SCALE. UNIQUE CHARACTER OF AREA. ACCEPTS OF COMMUNITY IS WHAT THIS IS. POLICIES 8.15, 8.15.2 TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ZONING IS CONFORMING WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WHICH IT IS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEIR MATRIX. IT DOES MEET, 9.3.1 ADDRESS COMPATIBILITY WITH THE RO CLASSIFICATION IN THE CODE HAS URBAN DESIGN CRY CRITERIA. >> IATION DL A CRITERIA TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE COMPLIERG AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE AREA. WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE WE ARE USING WITH PUBLIC FACILITIES AND ONLY FACILITIES WILL BE REQUIRED. OVERALL YOU SAW THE AREA, WHETHER IS A RESIDENTIAL OR OFFICE USE. HAVING THIS USE THERE IS EXTREMELY COMPATIBLE ESPECIALLY FOR THE LOCATION WHERE IT IS. AND I'M HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANY QUESTIONS? ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, 17? >> YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COME ON UP, SIR. AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS DAVID WRIGHT. I AM AN ATTORNEY HERE IN TAMPA. AND I ALSO HAPPEN TO BE THE NEIGHBOR WHO IS BEHIND AND SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT OF THIS HOUSE. SO I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD ON THE LOCATIONAL CRITERIA, BECAUSE I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. LAW, ESPECIALLY IN FLORIDA, WE FOLLOW THE TEXTURAL APPROACH. YOU READ THE LANGUAGE IN THE STATUTE OR CODE IN THIS INSTANCE. HERE FOR R-10, IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT AN RO IS PROHIBITED UNLESS SEEKING COMMERCIAL ZONING REPRESENTS 50% OR MORE OF A GIVEN BLOCK SPACE. WE LOOKED A LITTLE BIT AT WHAT THE EXISTING COMMERCIAL ZONING IS. AND I -- I PUT THIS UP FOR A DIFFERENT VIEW. SO YOU SEE. I AM THIS HOUSE RIGHT HERE. THE HOUSE I AM POINTING TO NOW IS THE ONE THEY WANT TO CHANGE INTO RESIDENTIAL OFFICE SPACE. I AM ABUTTING THE PROPERTY. WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT THE ZONING IS, IF YOU GO BASED OFF OF ACTUAL ZONING, WHICH WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE CODE, YOU ARE AT 100 FEET OVER TOTAL OF 500 FEET PER TOTAL PERCENTAGE OF 20%. SO UNDER THE CODE, THIS APPLICATION IS NOT EVEN ELIGIBLE FOR CONSIDERATION BECAUSE BASED OFF OF OUR RENT ZONING, 20% RO, 80% RESIDENTIAL. IF YOU GO OFF OF USAGE, YES, THERE IS THIS OFFICE RIGHT HERE THAT IS A DENTIST OFFICE, BUT THIS LOT OVER HERE, WHILE ZONED RO IS ACTUALLY USED AS SOMEONE'S HOUSE. I WALK BY IT EVERY DAY WHEN I WALK MY DOG. SO WHEN YOU BASICALLY FLIP THE NUMBERS, BECOMES 150 FEET OVER 500, 30%. YOU ARE STILL NOT AT YOUR 50. THAT FACE N. BOULEVARD. IT IS ONE OVER SIX. YOU ARE GETTING LESS. YOU ARE AT 16.667%, RIGHT. SO WE ARE EVEN FURTHER CRY AWAY FROM 50%. SO REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU CUT IT, YOU ARE NOT AT YOUR 50%. THIS APPLICATION SHOULDN'T EVEN BE CONSIDERED. I ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A MENTION OF THE LAND USE POLICIES. BUT LAND USE POLICY 9.5.5 SAYS TO LIMIT THE NUMBER AND TYPES OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES PERMITTED IN A SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AREAS, TO PROTECT THOSE AREAS FROM THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF INCOMPATIBLE USES. THAT IS WHAT THE POLICY SAYS. THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I AM ONE OF RESIDENTS. I DO NOT WANT A RESIDENTIAL OFFICE AND FURTHER COMMERCIALIZATION OF THIS AREA. SO I ASK THAT YOU DENY IT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. ANYONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? MA'AM, DO YOU HAVE REBUTTAL? >> THANK YOU. AGAIN FOR THE RECORD, SAYS BELLA ALBERT REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT. I WANT TO READ THE 9.5.5. THESE ARE FOR SINGLE-FAMILY AREAS, SPECIFICALLY FOR AREAS. THIS AREA IS ACTUALLY IN THE AREA THAT CURRENTLY HAS NOT ONLY SINGLE-FAMILY, BUT N. BOULEVARD WHICH IS AN ARTERIAL YOU HAVE DIFFERENT USES ALONG THE CORRIDOR. TO ADDRESS THE INCOMPATIBILITY, THIS IS WHY IN OUR CODE, THEY HAVE ADDITIONAL DESIGN CRITERIA TO ADDRESS THAT. I THINK THAT IS REALLY THE MAIN THING. I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LANGUAGE THAT HAS ONE WORD ZONING. BUT THE REALITY IS, THAT USE THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR A WE HAVE VERY LONG TIME WAS THE LEGAL CONFORMING USE, LEGAL NONCONFORMING. I DON'T KNOW. I UNFORTUNATELY GOT THIS REPORT YESTERDAY. SO SCRAMBLING TO SEE, YOU KNOW ROAR THE AREA. AND REAL LEGAL, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT -- AT THE -- WHAT'S AROUND THERE. LOOKING AT THE RO REGULATIONS AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT INCONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IT IS ABSOLUTELY CONSISTENT WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT POLICIES THAT I STATED. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN. CLENDENIN NOTHING. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ANYTHING ELSE, MA'AM. MOTION TO CLOSE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION TO CLOSE. >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ IT. COUNCILMAN CARLSON?

AGAIN, THIS IS THE PARK. NOT A VERY LONG PRESENTATION. CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND PROVIDE MORE HOUSING FOR THE AREA FOR THE EAST TAPA URBAN VILLAGE.

SOME RANDOM DROPPED IN RM-16 AND RO ZONING OVER HERE AND SOME RANDOM PDs SCATTERED THROUGHOUT. MOST AREA IS SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED. I WILL GO AHEAD AND MOVE OVER TO THE SITE PLAN. SO THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO TWO SINGLE-FAMILY DETACHED UNITS. THE REASON WHY THIS IS COMING BEFORE YOU WITH A PD BECAUSE ONCE AGAINST ONE OF THOSE SITES WHERE IT DONE MEET THE MINIMUM LOT REQUIREMENTS. THIS SITE IS 59 IN WIDTH BY 110 IN LENGTH. JUST A LITTLE BIT SHORT OF CREATING TWO 50-FOOT-WIDE LOTS. THIS LOT IS 45 FEET PROPOSED. THIS ONE IS PROPOSED TO BE 50 FOOT IN WIDTH. SLIGHTLY SMALLER LOT ON ONE SIDE AND THE CORNER LOT SLIGHTLY BIGGER. APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A ONE-CAR GARAGE FOR EACH UNIT AND ANOTHER PARKING SPOT IN THE FRONT IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE FRONT DOORS ARE ORIENTED TOWARD EAST 22nd AVENUE AND FIVE-FOOT SIDEWALKS ARE PROPOSED ALL AROUND THE SUBJECT SITE. A AND MAX BUILDING HEIGHT IS 30 FEET. I WILL GO INTO ELEVATIONS NOW. NORTH ELEVATION. SOUTH. EAST. AND WEST. SIMILAR ELEVATIONS FOR THE OTHER PROPOSED STRUCTURE. QUICKLY DO SOME PICTURES. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH DIRECTLY AT THE SUBJECT SITE.

IT IS IN WEST AT THAT POINT, EAST TAMPA HAS A VARIETY OF LOT SIZES SMALLER THAN THE 50-FOOT REQUIREMENT IN THE RS-50 AND STAFF FELT IT WOULD BE A PROPER INFILL DEVELOPMENT IN THE AN AREA. SHOULD IT BE THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE, MODIFICATIONS MUST BE APPROVED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND. I AM AVAILABLE IF ENOUGH ANY QUESTIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: APPLICANT, PLEASE COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL. I LIVE AT 2914 TEMPLE TERRACE, 3627. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THE LOT WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT REGULATIONS AND COUPLE OF TREES. ONE WAS CITE AS DANGEROUS FOR THE NEIGHBORS. WE CLEARED THAT.

A SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANYTHING ELSE, SIR? >>BILL CARLSON: SECOND ONE IS, THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS WHY NEIGHBORHOODS FLOODED, BUT IN SOME NEIGHBORHOODS, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT MAINTENANCE WAS NEEDED. ONE NEIGHBORHOOD I LOOKED AT, IT LOOKED LIKE MAINTENANCE HADN'T BEEN DONE IN 20 YEARS. I WOULD JUST LIKE -- YOU GUYS CAN HELP ME PICK A DATE. IT SHOULD BE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IF FEMA'S DEADLINE IS 90 DAYS WHAT WE CAN GET REIMBURSED FOR. MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE CITY STAFF REPORT ON WHATEVER DATE FOR UPDATE ON STORMWATER DRAIN MAINTENANCE IN THE CITY PARTICULARLY AREAS THAT FLOODED AND WHETHER WE NEEDED AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE BUDGET. PART OF THIS IS TO SEE DO WE NEED AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE BUDGET TO TRY TO MOVE THIS FORWARD FASTER. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT DAY ARE YOU LOOKING AT. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: DIDN'T SOMEONE ALREADY MAKE THIS MOTION? >>LUIS VIERA: I DID SOMETHING SIMILAR.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS 20 YEARS, BUT LOOKED LIKE THAT. IT LOOKED LIKE -- THE WAY I SCREW IBD IT, IF YOU WENT TO THE PHILIPPINES AND FOUND A PILLBOX WITH JUNGLE ALL OVER IT, THAT IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DECEMBER 19. WE ALREADY HAVE ONE ITEM THAT SAYS STAFF'S REPORT FOR FINDING SHORT-TERM SOLUTIONS IMMEDIATELY PREVENT RAINFALL FLOODING IN AREAS OCCURRED DURING THE RECENT STORMS.
