THIS ITEM IS THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION, CIS SCHEDULE PROJECT UPDATE. CHAPTER 163 REQUIRES A SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS, LIST OF PROJECTS ADDRESSING LEVEL OF SERVICE AND ADOPTED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. BE UPDATED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. THE UPDATE WOULD -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STAND BY. THE CHAIR IS SLOW. I CAN'T READ LIPS. CAN WE HAVE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARINGS, PLEASE? WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. ALL IN FAVOR, AYE. OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT. THANK YOU. I'M SORRY, CONTINUE. >> SORRY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MY FAULT. >> GOOD EVENING. THIS IS ERICA LARSON, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. THIS ITEM IS THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S REVIEW OF THE CITY OF TAMPA'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION, CIS SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS UPDATE. CHAPTER 163 REQUIRES THE SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS, THE LIST OF PROJECTS ADDRESSING LEVEL OF SERVICE AND ADOPTED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BE UPDATED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. THE UPDATE WOULD REPLACE THE EXISTING CIS SCHEDULE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITH A SCHEDULE LISTED IN YOUR PACKETS. THE LATEST SCHEDULE REFLECTS THE ADOPTED C.I.P. THAT WERE RECENTLY APPROVED. THE UPDATE IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ORDINANCE WHICH IS EXPLICITLY PERMITTED UNDER CHAPTER 163. THIS IS A ROUTINE ANNUAL UPDATE. WE COME BEFORE YOU EACH YEAR WITH THIS INFORMATION TO SUPPORT THE ORDINANCE. CITY STAFF IDENTIFIED PROJECTS IN THE CIS THAT AFFECT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE. THESE ITEMS MAKE UP THE SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS. THERE WAS A RECENT CHAPTER 163 UPDATE LAST YEAR THAT ALSO REQUIRES THE CIS TO INCLUDE BASIN MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN BMAP PROJECTS TO BE UPDATED. IT IS WATER QUALITY THAT INCLUDES A COMPREHENSIVE SET TO ACHIEVE POLLUTANT REDUCTIONS ESTABLISHED BY THE TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD TMDL AS DEFINED BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. THE BMAP PROJECTS WERE COORDINATED WITH CITY STAFF FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEPARTMENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE PLANS OF OTHER AGENCIES ARE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. DISPLAYED IS A SUMMARY OF THE CIS SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS WHICH WERE PLACED INTO SIX PROGRAM AREAS. YOU CAN SEE THE LARGEST GROUP IN TERMS OF FUNDING ARE WASTEWATER AND WATER. THE TOTAL FUNDING AMOUNT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 26 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 30 IS APPROXIMATELY 1.37 BILLION FOR 93 PROJECTS. THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE BREAKDOWN OF THE LEVEL OF SERVICE PROJECT TYPES IDENTIFIED BY THE CITY AND IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LEVEL OF SERVICE PRIORITIES OUTLINED IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION OBJECTIVE 1.3 AND POLICY 1.3.2, WHICH STATE THE SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS SHOULD BE PLANNED TO BOTH ELIMINATE EXISTING DEFICIENCIES AND REPLACE WORN-OUT FACILITIES. ON THE NEXT SLIDE, YOU WILL SEE OBJECTIVE AND POLICY EXCERPTS USED IN THE CONSISTENCY REVIEW. HOWEVER, A FULL LIST OF POLICIES USED CAN BE FOUND IN YOUR PACKET. THE COASTAL OBJECTIVE AND POLICY LISTED DISCUSSES COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND LIMITING PUBLIC EXPENDITURES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES WITHIN IT. AFTER REVIEW, STAFF FOUND THAT PROJECTS WITHIN THE CHHA WERE MINIMAL AND WERE EITHER TO SERVE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT, REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR ENHANCE PUBLIC ACCESS TO NATURAL AREAS. THOUGH CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICY DISCUSS PROJECT FUNDING SHOULD FIRST BE EXPENDED ON PROJECTS THAT MAINTAIN LEVEL OF SERVICE AND CORRECT DEFICIENCIES BEFORE BEING EXPENDED ON PROJECTS THAT SERVE FUTURE GROWTH. THE REST OF THE OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES LISTED ON THE SLIDE ARE RELATED TO INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES. PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND THE CITY OF TAMPA'S PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 2026 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2030 CIS SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND RECOMMENDS ADOPTION BY ORDINANCE. THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. CITY STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AS WELL. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE, IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT. COUNCILMAN CARLSON, WOULD YOU READ ITEM 1, PLEASE. >>BILL CARLSON: MOVE ITEM 1, FILE CIP-CIS FY 26-30, ORDINANCE BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS SECTION SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS, BY REPLACING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2029 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS SECTION SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS WITH THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2030 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS SECTION SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS, PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. ARE WE DOING VERBAL? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, AYE. OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 20, 2025, AT 10 A.M. AT OLD CITY HALL. LOCATED AT 315 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA 33602. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU SO MUCH. ITEM NUMBER 2. >> GOOD EVENING. QUINN STEELE, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. TONIGHT PRESENTING TA/CPA 25-09, A MAP AMENDMENT FOR 2602 EAST 7TH AVENUE AND ASSOCIATED PARCELS. THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS PRIVATELY INITIATED AND SMALL SCALE COVERING APPROXIMATELY 7.42 ACRES. THE REQUEST IS TO CHANGE THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND GENERAL MIXED USE 24 TO URBAN MIXED USE 60 AND COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35. HERE IS A GENERAL LOCATION MAP. THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTRAL TAMPA PLANNING DISTRICT IN THE HISTORIC EAST YBOR NEIGHBORHOOD. ADDITIONALLY, PORTIONS OF THE SITE ARE WITHIN THE YBOR CITY URBAN VILLAGE, LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT AND CRA AS WELL AS THE PORT ACTIVITY CENTER AND THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA. THIS AERIAL SHOWS THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN BLUE. IT IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE CSX RAILROAD AND WEST OF THE SELL MON CONNECTOR. RAIL LINE RUNS ALONG THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE SITE AND SERVES AS MAIN LINE CONNECTING TO THE PORT. RED DASH LINE MARKS THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION TO THE EAST AND THE GENERAL MIXED USE 24 DESIGNATION TO THE WEST AS WELL AS THE YBOR CITY URBAN VILLAGE LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT AND CRA. TO THE WEST THERE IS A MIX OF RESIDENTIAL LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES AND TO THE EAST, IT IS PREDOMINANTLY INDUSTRIAL WITH USES INCLUDING WAREHOUSING, MANUFACTURING AND A CREMATION CENTER. NORTH AND EAST 8th AVENUE TRANSITIONS TO RESIDENTIAL 20 IS SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. TONIGHT, WE'RE ONLY LOOKING AT TA/CPA 25-09, WHICH IS TO THE NORTH OF THE CSX RAIL LINE OUTLINED IN BLUE. THE MAP ALSO SHOWS TWO SIMILAR REQUESTS FILED IN MAY 2025 CYCLE. 25-10 AND 25-11, TOGETHER TOTAL JUST OVER 50 ACRES. >>LYNN HURTAK: CAN YOU MOVE THAT UP JUST A LITTLE BIT? >> 25-10 WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HEARD TONIGHT BUT WAS MISNOTICED. IT WILL BE RESCHEDULED. 25-11 IS SET FOR JANUARY 29. JUST FOR SURROUNDING CONTEXT, TAMPA HAS ABOUT 6100 ACRES OF INDUSTRIAL LAND REMAINING AND ONLY 330 ACRES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. IF ALL THREE OF THESE WERE APPROVED, THE CYCLE ALONE WOULD EQUAL HALF OF ALL THE INDUSTRIAL LAND THE CITY HAS LOST IN THE LAST DECADE. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ON EAST 7TH AVENUE TOWARDS THE SUBJECT SITE. THIS IS LOOKING EAST ALONG EAST 7TH AVENUE. THE SUBJECT SITE IS ON THE RIGHT. THIS IS THE PORTION WITHIN THE GMU 24 DESIGNATION AND THE YBOR CITY URBAN VILLAGE AND LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT. THIS IS LOOKING NORTH ALONG EAST 7TH AVENUE TOWARDS THE SUBJECT SITE. THESE ARE THE PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH ALONG EAST 8th AVENUE. AND LOOKING SOUTH ON EAST 7TH AVENUE NEAR THE SELMON CONNECTOR. SUBJECT SITE IS ON THE RIGHT. THIS IS THE RAIL LINE THAT RUNS NORTH AND SOUTH. THE PORT IS FURTHER SOUTH. THIS MAP SHOWS THE SITE'S CURRENT DESIGNATIONS AS LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND GENERAL MIXED USE 24 WITH GMU 24 WEST OF NORTH 26th STREET. SURROUNDING THE SITE TO THE NORTHEAST, EAST, AND SOUTH ARE HEAVY AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATIONS. TO THE WEST PAST 26th STREET WE SEE GMU 24 AND CC-35 WITH RESIDENTIAL 20 FURTHER NORTHWEST. THERE ARE TWO POCKETS OF UMU 60 TO THE SOUTH, WHICH WERE A PART OF PLAN AMENDMENTS IN 2017. ONE IS THE 85 APARTMENT COMPLEX AND THE OTHER IS STILL VACANT. LASTLY, MOST OF THE SITE FALLS WITHIN THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA SHOWN BY THE GREEN LINE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WESTERN-MOST PARCEL. THIS MAP SHOWS THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LAND PROPOSED TO CHANGE TO UMU 60 WHICH WOULD ALLOW UP TO 60 DWELLING UNITS AN ACRE OR 3.25 F.A.R. GMU 24 LAND WEST OF NORTH 26th STREET WHICH IS PROPOSED TO CHANGE TO CC-35, ALLOWING UP TO 35 DWELLING UNITS AN ACRE OR 2.0 F.A.R. UNDER THE CURRENT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL AND GENERAL MIXED USE 24 DESIGNATIONS THE SITE CONSIDERED FOR UP TO 14 DWELLING UNITS BUT ONLY ON THE GMU 24 PORTION, SINCE RESIDENTIAL IS NOT PERMITTED IN LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. IT COULD ALSO ALLOW JUST OVER 484,000 SQUARE FEET OF NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THE PROPOSED UMU 60 AND CC-35 DESIGNATIONS THAT COULD INCREASE TO 429 DWELLING UNITS OR JUST OVER 1 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF DEVELOPMENT, EITHER RESIDENTIAL OR NONRESIDENTIAL. IF APPROVED, THE AMENDMENT WOULD INTRODUCE RESIDENTIAL USES AND ELIMINATE FUTURE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE SITE. IT WOULD ALSO MORE THAN DOUBLE THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY AND INTENSITY. AGENCY REVIEWS FOR THE AMENDMENT INCLUDE AN OBJECTION FROM THE CITY OF TAMPA SPECIFIC TO THE UMU 60 PORTION. THE EPC RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT COMPATIBILITY DUE TO NEARBY INDUSTRIAL USES INCLUDING CREMATORY. SCHOOL BOARD NOTED THAT BLAKE HIGH SCHOOL IS EXPECTED TO EXCEED CAPACITY. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF RECOMMENDED THE AMENDMENT BE FOUND INCONSISTENT DUE TO CONCERNS WITH INDUSTRIAL PRESERVATION AND THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, BUT THE PLANNING COMMISSION BOARD FOUND IT CONSISTENT WITH POLICIES SUPPORTING PLANNED HOUSEHOLD AND EMPLOYMENT GROWTH. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF RECOMMENDS THE PROPOSED MAP AMENDMENT BE FOUND CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? EVAN. >>LYNN HURTAK: I ACTUALLY DID HAVE A QUESTION. MS. STEELE, I DO HAVE A QUESTION. I APOLOGIZE. CAN YOU REPEAT THE NUMBERS ABOUT THE ACRES OF INDUSTRIAL LAND? >>QUINN STEELE: SURE. I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME INFORMATION HERE. SO THIS IS THE CITY OF TAMPA. WE'VE LOST 101 ACRES IN THE LAST TEN YEARS. THIS AMENDMENT -- ALL THREE OF THESE AMENDMENTS WOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT 50 ACRES. >>LYNN HURTAK: HOW MUCH INDUSTRIAL LAND DO WE HAVE LEFT? LIKE CURRENTLY? >>QUINN STEELE: 6100 ACRES. 330 AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. JOHNSON. >> EVAN JOHNSON, INTERIM DIRECTOR PLANNING. QUINN DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE PRESENTATION. AS SHE MENTIONED, WE DID HAVE OBJECTION. I WANT TO SPEND A MOMENT -- THANK YOU. SHE HAD A BETTER MAP. SPEND A MOMENT REITERATING WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN FRONT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION BOARD AS WELL. LET'S SEE IF I KNOW HOW TO USE THIS. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO THINK OF THIS, YES, WE'RE ONLY TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT ONE AMENDMENT, 6.8 ACRES. IT'S LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IN GMU, GENERAL MIXED USE. THAT SHOULD BE 6.8. THERE IS SOME GENERAL MIXED USE IN THERE AS WELL. AS QUINN MENTIONED, WE WERE SPECIFICALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE AREA OUTSIDE THE HISTORIC DISTRICT IN THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL CONVERSIONS TO UMU 60. ALSO WANT TO REMIND YOU, THIS IS ABOUT 49 ACRES. ALMOST 50 ACRES, ACTUALLY, ALL COMBINED. THE NEXT TWO AMENDMENTS THAT YOU'LL BE HEARING IN THE FUTURE, THAT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER, WHAT, 42, 43 ACRES OF HEAVY INDUSTRIAL LAND THAT IS ALSO BEING CONVERTED TO UMU 60 AS WELL AND INTRODUCING RESIDENTIAL AS WELL AS REMOVING THOSE INDUSTRIAL USES. THE REASON I WANTED TO BRING THIS UP IS THIS IS NOT ONE AMENDMENT. THIS IS A CONSIDERATION ABOUT -- THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT POLICY CHANGE IN CONFLICT WITH A LOT OF WHAT'S IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN NOW. I JUST WANT US TO BE AWARE THAT WE HAVE POLICIES THAT ARE VERY STRICT POLICIES ABOUT THE CONVERSION OF INDUSTRIAL LAND WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, PROTECTION OF THE PORT ACTIVITY CENTER AND THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA. I WANT US TO BE COGNIZANT, IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS AND WE APPROVE THIS PARTICULAR AMENDMENT TONIGHT, THIS CONVERSATION WILL CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD AND THEN COME FEBRUARY WE HAVE A LARGER CONVERSATION ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS WELL. IN THAT DOCUMENT AND THE DRAFTS THAT WE'VE HAD TO THIS POINT ALSO HAS A LOT OF VERY STRONG LANGUAGE AROUND PROTECTING OF INDUSTRIAL LAND AND KEEPING RESIDENTIAL OUT OF THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA. I WANT TO MAKE COUNCIL AWARE OF THAT BECAUSE I THINK IT IS A REALLY IMPORTANT DISCUSSION THAT WE HAVE, WHETHER TONIGHT OR MOVING FORWARD. OF COURSE, WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU IN ANY WAY WE CAN TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION YOU NEED. JUST FOR SUMMARY, THE TOTAL IMPACT, WHICH QUINN DID AN EXCELLENT JOB GOING OVER, 49.73 ACRES IS WHEN YOU WOULD COMBINE ALL THREE TOGETHER OF WHICH YOU'LL HEAR TWO MORE IN THE FUTURE. I KNOW TONIGHT WE'RE ONLY HEARING ONE BUT IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND. SIMILAR TO THE SIZE OF YOUR GASWORX PROPERTY, BUT WE HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO THE PORT. WE HAVE BETTER ACCESS TO CSX RAIL AND ENTIRELY IN THE CHHA. THIS IS A MAJOR, MAJOR DEVELOPMENT POTENTIALLY THAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE AREA. THAT WAS ALL OF OUR COMMENTS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DOES THAT COMPLETE STAFF'S PRESENTATION? >> THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, SIR. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: APPLICANT? >> TYLER HUDSON. 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. PULL UP THE PowerPoint. HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IS TODAY THE FIRST DAY OF FALL? >> FELT LIKE IT. >> FALL IS FALL. I THINK QUINN WENT OVER THIS. WE FOUND OUT YESTERDAY THAT THE NEWSPAPER NOTICE WAS WRONG. WE'VE HAD TO SCRAMBLE. WE DID ANTICIPATE DOING BOTH OF THESE TOGETHER WHICH I THINK AT THE END OF THIS WILL MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF SENSE. I'LL ASK THAT YOU SHOW ME SOME GRACE IF I DO MENTION THE YELLOW SOUTHERN ASSEMBLAGE. THAT'S NOT PART OF THE DISCUSSION. IT IS A COMP PLAN AMENDMENT. WE DON'T HAVE TO BE QUITE AS STRICT AS OUTSIDE STUFF. WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE TEAL PARCELS TONIGHT, BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS GOING ON IN THE YELLOW PARCELS THAT I THINK ARE SIGNIFICANT. I'LL KEEP ZOOMING OUT. MANY OF YOU, WE'VE BEEN SOCIALIZING WITH THE COMMUNITY, WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, WITH SOME OF YOU ALL, WITH STAFF FOR SOME TIME NOW, A MIXED USE REDEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA OF YBOR CITY THAT'S REALLY EAST OF THE COLUMBIA RESTAURANT AND WOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, WHICH EVERYONE KNEW A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THERE WAS A LAND SWAP WITH THE COUNTY. THEY'LL STAY THERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THIS IS ALL PART OF A LARGER FORTHCOMING PDA. MR. SHELBY, NOTHING HAS BEEN FILED YET. BUT A FORTHCOMING PDA FILED PROBABLY IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS THAT WE PERHAPS UNIMAGINABLY CALL PLACE ONE. PROBABLY BE A DIFFERENT NAME IN THE FUTURE. TEAL PARCELS SHOW WHERE WITHIN THAT MASTER DEVELOPMENT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE AREA THAT'S -- THE LARGE PARCELS OF EAST OF 26th STREET. THESE ARE OUTSIDE OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. THERE ARE TWO VERY SMALL PARCELS WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT THAT ARE NOT INDUSTRIAL. I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN THOSE SEPARATELY BECAUSE I THINK THEY HAVE DIFFERENT CONSIDERATIONS. LET'S ZOOM OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE AND LOCATE THIS AREA WHERE IT IS IN THE BROADER SENSE OF CENTRAL TAMPA. THE LAND USE POLICY THAT'S ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW IS THE SINGLE REASON THAT WE ARE FILING THIS. RESIDENTIAL USE IS PROHIBITED IN INDUSTRIAL LAND USE CATEGORIES. PROHIBITED. IT IS NOT ALLOWED. YOU CANNOT ASK FOR IT. MEANING, EVERY PIECE OF LAND THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR TONIGHT, OTHER THAN TWO TINY PIECES IN JEANNE, IT IS PROHIBITED FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THERE DESPITE THIS BEING IN THE PATH OF GROWTH AND DESPITE BEING PERVASIVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ALREADY IN THE VICINITY OF THIS SITE. I TALKED ABOUT PATH OF GROWTH. THIS COUNCIL, SOME OF YOUR PREDECESSORS ENDORSED AND SUPPORTED THE ENCORE PROJECT THAT BROUGHT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE INTO THE CENTRAL PARK CRA. 500 PEOPLE LIVE IN GASWORX AND THAT'S WITH ONE APARTMENT BUILDING OPEN. CRANES THERE. THIS COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORTED THE YBOR HARBOR REZONING TO BRING MIXED USE, DENSE DEVELOPMENT TO THE URBAN CORE THAT HAS THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO BEST ACCOMMODATE IT. I'LL NOTE TO A PLACE THAT UNLIKE OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY, DOESN'T SEEM OPPOSED TO HAVING MORE NEIGHBORS. WE HAVE A GROWTH PROBLEM. IT'S GETTING HARDER TO FIND PLACES THAT ARE ACCEPTING OF NEW RESIDENTIAL GROWTH. THAT IS WHY WE ARE FILING THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT WHICH WILL BE IMPLEMENTED BY ZONING IN THE FUTURE. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. IT RUNS DOWN TO THE YELLOW LINE. THE PIECES THAT ARE WEST TO THE LEFT, THESE ARE REALLY SMALL. THIS IS REALLY CLEANUP GOING FROM GENERAL MIX USE 24 TO CC-35. GENERAL MIX USE 24 IS SORT OF LIKE THE JUNK DRAWER CATEGORY OF FUTURE LAND USE. IT IS AREAS THAT HAVE, QUOTE, NO DISCERNIBLE DEVELOPMENT TREND. ALL WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS CHANGE THEM TO THE COLOR. WE'RE CHANGING LITTLE PIECES OF PURPLE, MAYBE THAT'S MAUVE, TO THE RED, THAT'S NORTHERLY ADJACENT. GOING FROM 1.5 F.A.R. TO 2.0 F.A.R. THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY, HEIGHTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ON 7th AVENUE. ALL OF 7th AVENUE IS 3.25 F.A.R. WE ARE ASKING HERE TO GO FROM 1.5 F.A.R. TO 2.0 F.A.R. THE BARRIO LATINO COMMISSION HAD NO ISSUE WITH THAT. THEY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AS TO THE PARCELS THAT ARE IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. THE NONHISTORIC PORTION, THAT IS THE LARGELY VACANT AREAS OF LAND THAT ARE EAST OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT AND ARE CURRENTLY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL FUTURE LAND USE. THIS IS PROBABLY THE SECOND-MOST IMPORTANT SLIDE THAT WE HAVE AND MIGHT LOOK FAMILIAR TO THOSE OF YOU, I THINK ALL OF YOU WHO HAD THE YBOR HARBOR REZONING. I DON'T THINK I'VE HAD A STRONGER DISAGREEMENT, VERY RESPECTFUL AND POLITE, BUT NEVER A STRONGER DISAGREEMENT WITH STAFF THAN ON THE INDUSTRIAL ISSUE. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS INDUSTRIAL USE IN YOUR ZONING CODE. ZONING CODE HAS 147 DIFFERENT USES. MANY OF THEM YOU ALL HAVEN'T SEEN. PROBABLY HAVEN'T SEEN HELIPORT. 147 USES. THE ONES ON THE RIGHT THERE IS THE HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USES YOU'RE LOSING. IF YOU VOTE YES, YOU CAN'T PUT A CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, YOU CAN'T PUT EXPLOSIVE STORAGE, HAZARD MATERIALS, JUNKYARD OR LAND FILL. THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE LOSING. YOU ARE GAINING THE ABILITY TO CONSIDER RESIDENCES IN THIS AREA, IN THE DIRECT PATH OF GROWTH ALONG 7th AVENUE IN YBOR CITY. THE TYPE OF USES THAT WHEN WE THINK OF INDUSTRIAL TYPE USES, THE WHOLE IDEA OF WE'RE LOSING, QUOTE, INDUSTRIAL LAND, THAT'S NOT A PHRASE THAT HAS ANY REGULATORY EFFECT AT ALL. WHEN YOU THINK INDUSTRIAL, DO YOU THINK LIGHT MANUFACTURING? PROBABLY. THAT'S PRESERVED. THAT DOESN'T CHANGE AT ALL. WAREHOUSING, BEING NEAR THE PORT ACTIVITY CENTER. THE PORT IS NOT SHY ABOUT MAKING THEIR VOICE HEARD WHEN THEY BELIEVE SOMETHING THREATENS THEIR ABILITY TO OPERATE. THEY ARE NOT HERE. WE TALKED TO THE PORT A LONG TIME ABOUT THIS PROJECT. WHAT ARE THE MOST LIKELY FOLLOW-ON USES FROM BEING NEAR A PORT? IT'S PROBABLY A WAREHOUSE. WAREHOUSE AND WHOLESALE TRADE, TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FACILITY. ALL THOSE USES ARE ALLOWED IN UMU 60. THOSE ARE ALL ALLOWED. SO I REJECT ENTIRELY THIS NOTION THAT STAFF HAS BROUGHT FORWARD THAT THIS IS SOME ENORMOUS LOSS OF ALL INDUSTRIAL USE BECAUSE A LOT OF THE THINGS WITH GREEN CHECK MARKS NEXT TO THEM, YOU KNOW WE CONSIDER THOSE INDUSTRIAL AND I THINK THEY DO TOO. SAME INFORMATION PRESENTED IN SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY. THIS IS TABLE 4-1 AND 21-156, BIG TABLE OF PERMITTED USES, ALL 147 OF THEM. ALL CI USES ARE ALLOWED IN THE UMU 60. THAT IS A CRITICAL AND VERY IN THE WEEDS, NERDY DISTINCTION. CI HAS A LOT MORE COMMERCIAL USES ALLOWED THAN CG DOES. IF WE WERE ASKING FOR A LAND USE CATEGORY THAT PROHIBITED CI USES I WOULD BE ON MY BACK FOOT AND WE WOULD BE HAVING A VERY DIFFERENT CONVERSATION. BUT WE'RE NOT. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT UMU 60 WHICH ALLOWS ALL CI USES. HERE IS LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE USES THAT CAN BE ASKED FOR OR IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT IN IG AND IH THAT YOU CANNOT ASK FOR IN CI. THIS IS THE COMPLETE LIST OF WHAT YOU'RE LOSING. SO IN MY VIEW, TO DENY THIS APPLICATION IS TO BELIEVE THAT ONE OR MORE OF THESE USES, THE PRESERVATION OF THAT, NONE OF WHICH ARE REALLY PRESENT ON-SITE OTHER THAN ONE RECYCLING FACILITY THAT THE PRESERVATION OF THE HYPOTHETICAL USES IN THE FUTURE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ALLOWING THE POSSIBILITY OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE EAST SIDE OF 7th AVENUE IN YBOR CITY. THIS IS THE CHART. THIS DISTILLS DOWN THE ENTIRE APPLICATION INTO HIGHLIGHTED EXCEL SPREADSHEET. THIS IS NOT A MAGICAL, ALL INDUSTRIAL LANDS ARE GOING AWAY, ALL INDUSTRIAL USES ARE GOING AWAY, THAT'S NOT TRUE. TO ENGAGE I THINK REALLY SUPERFICIAL HEADLINE LEVEL IS HUGELY IRRESPONSIBLE. THE WAY THAT WE REGULATE LAND IN THE CITY IS BASED ON THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE WHICH AGAIN HAS 147 USES. THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE. IF ANY OF THOSE ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN THE POTENTIAL TO EXACERBATE SOME OF THE SUPPLY DEMAND MISMATCH THE CITY HAS ON HOUSING, I LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING ABOUT THAT IN QUESTIONS. LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CONSISTENCIES. I THINK WE GET THE POINT ABOUT INDUSTRIAL USE AT THIS POINT. I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT -- AT THE CORE OF THE IDEA, INDUSTRIAL USE, IDEA THAT IT IS JOB CREATING RIGHT? COMMERCIAL. MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT GENERATES JOBS TOO. OFFICE, ALL THOSE USES I ALREADY LISTED GENERATE EMPLOYMENT. IF WE GET TO THE CORE, AT THIS STAGE, WE PROBABLY DON'T WANT THE TYPE. EXPLOSIVE STORAGE. WE DON'T WANT THE TYPE OF OBNOXIOUS USES CLOSE TO WHAT'S EMERGING AS RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF REPRESENTING SEVERAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPERS. IT'S IN THE COUNTY. THEY ARE SELLING THEIR LAND IN THE CITY BECAUSE SO MUCH INDUSTRIAL USE IS LAND INTENSIVE. YOU CANNOT STACK A LANDFILL ON TOP OF A LANDFILL. IF YOU ARE DOING A WASTE TRANSFER FACILITY, YOU NEED BREADTH OF LAND. YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO DEVELOP THAT IN THE CITY OF TAMPA RIGHT NOW. THE LAND IS TOO EXPENSIVE AND NOTHING THAT THIS COUNCIL CAN DO ABOUT THAT. PEOPLE DON'T JUST VOTE FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS. THEY VOTE WITH THEIR POCKETBOOKS AND VOTE WITH THEIR FEET. HEAVY MANUFACTURING, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USERS, THEY ARE VOTING. THEY ARE MOVING TO THE COUNTY. THEY ARE MOVING TO POLK COUNTY. MOVING TO EASTERN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, WHERE THEY CAN GET MORE LAND THAT THEY NEED FOR THE NATURE OF THE JOB. IT SHOULDN'T BE A SURPRISE THAT TWO OF THE SITES ARE METAL RECYCLING FACILITIES. THEY DON'T WANT TO BE HERE ANYMORE. THEY HAVE FOUND BETTER SITES DOWN NEAR RED WING THAT BETTER SUPPORT WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. THEY ARE LEAVING BECAUSE THEY SEE WHAT WE SEE WHICH IS THAT THE PATH OF GROWTH AND THE FUTURE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS NOT LANDFILLS AND EXPLOSIVE STORAGE. IT MIGHT BE WAREHOUSES NEAR APARTMENTS, AND THAT'S ALL PRESERVED. IT'S NOT EXPLOSIVE STORAGE AND LANDFILLS. I WANTED TO MAKE A NOTE ABOUT THE SELMON EXPRESSWAY. I DON'T HAVE TO REMIND THIS COUNCIL THAT HIGHWAYS SERVE AS BARRIERS AND HIGHWAYS CAN CHANGE THE TRANSITION BETWEEN NEIGHBORHOODS. I THINK A LOT, UNDERNEATH 275 ON FLORIDA, COME BY THE BREWING. SEEMS LIKE A DIVIDE. 200 FEET WIDE. SELMON EXPRESSWAY, 442 FEET WIDE AT THE CONNECTOR. THAT IS ENORMOUS, PHYSICAL, AND I THINK JUST FIGURATIVE BUFFER BETWEEN WHAT IS -- WHAT EMERGED AS CORE INDUSTRIAL AREA, MOSTLY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO THE EAST AND TO THE WEST. THAT'S THERE. THAT IS A VERY STUBBORN BORDER. COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA, TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR A LONG, LONG TIME IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA IS ABOUT EVACUATION AND SHELTERS. BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROPOSING SOMETHING AT INTERBAY AND MANHATTAN AND PROPOSING SOMETHING THAT IS ALONGSIDE THREE OF THE MOST MATERIAL OR REGIONAL EVACUATION ROUTES IN THIS ENTIRE AREA. ADAMO DRIVE, SELMON CONNECTOR AND I-4. IT'S A STONE'S THROW FROM I-275. THREE MAJOR SHELTERS RIGHT NEAR THE AREA. AGAIN, WE'RE NOT EVEN AT THE POINT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOW MANY APARTMENTS ARE GOING HERE. THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA AS DARRYL WILL TALK ABOUT IN A SECOND. THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA PIECE, I GET THAT IT IS ROTE. HAS TO BE SAID. THIS IS NOT THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERBAY PENINSULA. THIS PRESENTS WITH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VULNERABILITY, REDUCED VULNERABILITY PROFILE RELATIVE TO SITES FURTHER SOUTH. I WANT TO NOTE, TOO, THAT AS WE SAW WITH THE HURRICANES, IT'S NOT NEW STRUCTURES HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT. IT IS THE OLD STRUCTURES HAVE TO BE WORRIED ABOUT. ANY NEW BUILDINGS IN THIS DEVELOPMENT ARE GOING TO BE BUILT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STRINGENT FLORIDA NEW BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS. THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF BUILDINGS THAT BY AND LARGE FARED MUCH BETTER. IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN TALKING ABOUT COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA. THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE HAD A FULL, VIBRANT DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. ABOUT THE LOSS OF, QUOTE, INDUSTRIAL LAND AND WHAT USES ARE ACTUALLY LOST IN THIS SITUATION, AND THEY VOTED TO APPROVE IT OR TO FIND IT RECOMMENDED FOR CONSISTENT, AS A CONSISTENT TO YOU. WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO ASK DARRYL TO SAY A COUPLE OF WORDS ABOUT WHAT IS NEXT FOR THE AREA. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. DARRYL SHAW WITH CASA YBOR. CONGRATULATIONS. I THOUGHT I WOULD TALK FOR A FEW MINUTES ABOUT THE VISION FOR YBOR AND FOR ITS REVITALIZATION. THAT IS A VISION TO RETURN YBOR TO BEING A RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE DISTRICT, NOT AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, A RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE DISTRICT WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF RESIDENTS WHO ARE ABLE TO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT, WORK IN THE DISTRICT, ENJOY THEMSELVES IN THE DISTRICT, THAT'S THE VISION. THE WAY WE GET THERE IS TO THINK THROUGH 7th AVENUE AS THE MAIN RETAIL SPINE FROM NUCCIO TO 22nd STREET. THE MAIN RETAIL SPINE FOR THE DISTRICT, THE HEART OF THE DISTRICT AND THEN BEGIN TO SURROUND 7th AVENUE WITH RESIDENCES OF ALL SORTS -- APARTMENTS CONDOMINIUMS TOWN HOUSES, SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. AND WE ARE LOOKING AT DOING SO. GASWORX IN THE SOUTHEAST, YBOR HARBOR ON THE SOUTH, THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE REDEVELOPMENT ON THE NORTH, AND THEN EAST YBOR ON THE EAST. WHEN YOU LEAVE COLUMBIA RESTAURANT, YOU LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT, YOU SEE VERY LITTLE BUT VACANT LAND OR OLDER INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS. PART OF WHAT MADE YBOR SPECIAL WAS THE ABILITY TO LIVE NEAR WHERE YOU WORK. THE CIGAR WORKERS CAME TO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT BECAUSE THEY COULD WORK IN THE CIGAR FACTORIES AND GET THERE BY FOOT OR BY STREETCAR. SO WE ARE ALSO THINKING THROUGH WHAT JOB PROMOTERS CAN WE BRING INTO THE DISTRICT, AND THAT COULD BE MULTIPLE. WE'RE THINKING THROUGH YBOR AS AN ARTS DISTRICT AND TRYING TO BRING THE ARTISTS BACK TO THE DISTRICT TO CREATE A VIBRANCY AND CREATIVENESS. WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD TO BRING MILITARY CONTRACTORS AND CREATE A COTTAGE INDUSTRY, MILITARY CONTRACTORS IN YBOR. WE HAVE A NUMBER AND ARE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THAT. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE TECH INDUSTRY, WHICH APPRECIATES AND ENJOYS THE CREATIVE DISTRICT THAT CAN THRIVE IN THE AREA. WE'RE ALSO BEING -- LOOKING AT THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY. AND I AM PLEASED TO SAY THAT WE'VE BEEN PARTNERING WITH TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL TO EXPAND THE TMRD, TAMPA MEDICAL AND RESEARCH DISTRICT, TO YBOR, AND I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THIS EVENING THAT TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL HAS A MATERIAL PORTION OF THE LAND ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF YBOR, ADAMO DRIVE ABUTTING THE CROSSTOWN CONNECTOR TO BUILD A NEW HOSPITAL THERE, WHICH WILL BRING JOBS TO THE DISTRICT AND ALLOW PEOPLE THE ABILITY TO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT, WALK TO WORK, BIKE TO WORK. ONE LAST POINT, IT -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK WOULD LIKE YOU TO REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID. >> ABOUT TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL. WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH TAMPA GENERAL HOSPITAL TO ACQUIRE A PORTION OF THE LAND IN THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF YBOR THAT SITS ABUTTING ADAMO DRIVE AND THE SELMON -- NO, AND THE CROSSTOWN CONNECTOR TO BUILD A SIGNIFICANT HOSPITAL IN YBOR AND TAKE SOME OF THE OVERLOAD THAT EXISTS ON DAVIS ISLAND TO THE DISTRICT. WHAT IS IMPORTANT ABOUT THAT IS IT IS A BIG EMPLOYER. MULTIPLE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL ULTIMATELY WORK THERE HAVE THE ABILITY TO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT, WITH A YOU CAN TO WORK, BIKE TO WORK, TAKE THE STREETCAR TO WORK. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS. WE ARE LOOKING AT RESTORING THE GRID IN THAT SOUTHEAST QUADRANT. THIS IS NOT A ONE- OR TWO-STORY BUILDING WITH A SEA OF SURFACE PARKING. THIS IS RESTORATION OF THE ORIGINAL YBOR GRID INTO YBOR BLOCKS THAT WILL BRING VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT WITH GROUND FLOOR RETAIL AND GREENSPACE THAT WILL BE A MATERIAL EMPLOYER IN THE DISTRICT. WHAT IS ALSO KEY IS THAT IT SITS ADJACENT TO 26th STREET, WHICH IS THE ONLY ROAD THAT GOES THROUGH, OTHER THAN 15th STREET, THAT GOES THROUGH NORTH, UNDERNEATH THE I-4 INTO EAST YBOR AND SOUTH DOWN INTO PALMETTO BEACH. SO IT HELPS CONNECT THOSE TWO NEIGHBORHOODS AND PROVIDES HEALTH CARE AND ACCESS, CONVENIENT ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS. WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR BELIEF IN THE VISION FOR YBOR. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO. I JUST WANT TO SAY, LIKE ALL OF US LISTENING VERY CLOSELY, I WAS REMINISCING WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY LIVING IN YBOR CITY, BEING BORN IN YBOR CITY. AND BEFORE THE HMOs CAME TO BE, IT WAS CALLED MUTUAL AID SOCIETY. YOU HAD GONZALEZ CLINIC -- A COUPLE OF OTHER SMALLER ONES. SO WE HAVE HERE FROM WHAT I'M LOOKING AT, RELIVING THE PAST IN THE FUTURE. THAT'S HOW I SEE IT, MAYBE I'M WRONG. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT BUSINESSES AND TALK ABOUT PEOPLE LIVING IN THE DISTRICT, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YBOR CITY WAS. IT WAS REALLY A SUSTAINABLE CITY WITHIN ITSELF, OTHER THAN IT WASN'T A CITY. WEST TAMPA WAS A CITY. BUT YBOR CITY WAS NOT. BUT THE AMENITIES THAT WE HAD WERE WAY AHEAD OF TIME WITH PEOPLE WHO HAD VERY LITTLE BUT WORKING TOGETHER THEY HAD A LOT. AND THAT'S WHAT MADE YBOR CITY AS POPULAR AS IT WAS. NOT BECAUSE I WAS BORN THERE. I WAS A BLACK CAT OF THE FAMILY. BUT THAT'S HOW IT WAS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. I ACTUALLY HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR TYLER. I'M SORRY. MR. HUDSON. STAFF BROUGHT UP SOMETHING THAT I HADN'T CONSIDERED IN THIS, AND THAT IS THE CSX FREIGHT LINE. >> BRIGHT LINE OR FREIGHT LINE? >>LYNN HURTAK: CSX FREIGHT LINE. THAT IS A HUGE DEAL, BUT KNOWING THAT THERE WILL BE POSSIBLY A HOSPITAL THERE LESSENS MY CONCERN SOMEWHAT, BUT I'M GOING TO ASK THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE TO ASK BUT I PROBABLY KNOW THE ANSWER TO IT. HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO TALK TO CSX? >> A LOT. SHOCKINGLY, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM SHOCKED. THEY ARE VERY HARD. >> CAN YOU SEE THE CURSOR? FROM A TIDAL PERSPECTIVE, THE LAND HERE HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT CHALLENGING. THERE IS A POINT WHERE IT APPEARS SOME OLD PLAT CORNERS DON'T MEET. IF YOU GET OUT THERE FIRST WITH THE FLAG, IT'S YOURS. WE BOUGHT SOME LAND OVER THE YEARS FROM CSX. THERE'S SOME ABANDONED RAIL SPURS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WILLING TO SELL TO HELP COMPLETE, ESPECIALLY THIS AREA DOWN HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S FRONTAGE. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, THAT'S COPPER TAIL BREWING, WORKING ON A DEVELOPMENT FOR THIS SITE, AND ACTUALLY -- ESPECIALLY GETTING MONEY FROM YOU TO BUY ABANDONED RAIL SPURS HERE. WE'VE BEEN IN VERY ACTIVE CONVERSATIONS, ABOUT 6th AVENUE, WHICH IS REALLY PERHAPS WIDER THAN RAIL OR RIGHT-OF-WAY NEEDED. THAT'S WHAT RUNS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RAIL, POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY IN THE FUTURE TO DISCUSS WHETHER THEY NEED QUITE ALL OF THAT AND HAVE ALMOST A RAILS TO TRAILS WITH RAILS SITUATION THERE. WE TALK TO CSX A LOT. THERE ARE SOME ABANDONED RAIL SPURS OVER HERE, TOO. I DON'T KNOW -- THAT HOPEFULLY ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. BUT WE HAVE TALKED WITH THEM A LOT. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR BECAUSE IT IS HARD. >> YES, IT IS. >>LYNN HURTAK: SECONDLY, I'M KIND OF CURIOUS ABOUT WHERE THAT TRACT GOES. I KNOW THAT'S NOT TECHNICALLY PART OF THIS, BUT IT GOES NORTH. HOW USED IS IT? BECAUSE I DO KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED WITH OUR PORT SO DESPERATELY IS WAYS -- I MEAN, AS WE ADD MORE CONTAINER CRANES AND LIKE MAX CRANES, WE NEED WAYS TO GET CARGO OUT THAT ISN'T ON A TRUCK. >> CORRECT, YES. CRANES ARE MUCH FURTHER SOUTH. WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING THAT IMPEDES CSX'S ABILITY TO USE ALL OF THE RAIL WHERE IT CURRENTLY HAS TRACK. ABANDONED SPURS, THERE'S NO TRACK. JUST A STRIP OF LAND. WE'LL SEE WHAT THE MASSING OF BUILDINGS AND STUFF LOOKS LIKE. WE ARE NOT IMPEDING ANY WAY CSX FREIGHT OPERATIONS. THAT'S NOT EASY TO DEAL WITH THEM ON IF PROPOSING THAT. I FEEL LIKE I'M NOT ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION AS COMPLETELY AS I COULD. WE'RE NOT MESSING WITH THE FREIGHT. WE CAN'T. >>LYNN HURTAK: I GUESS MY QUESTION IS BECAUSE I JUST DON'T KNOW THE RAIL MAPPING. >> IT'S NOT USED BACK HERE. YOU CAN GO RIGHT UP TO THE EXPRESSWAY HERE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. THAT IS NOT THE RAIL THAT THEY USE, THAT THEY WOULD USE FOR FREIGHT. >> NO. YOU CAN SEE HERE THESE LITTLE CURVES, THAT'S THE OLD SPUR REMNANTS. IT'S KIND OF A MESS. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. BUT THEN WHERE DOES THE RAIL THAT GOES NORTH? >> A LOT OF THE RAIL KIND OF GOES THIS WAY FURTHER OUT UNDER THE EXPRESSWAY. UP AT 6th AVENUE, I THINK. YEAH. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. THAT WAS MY MAIN QUESTION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ARE YOU FINISHED? RESERVE TIME FOR REBUTTAL? >> LET ME SEE IF THERE IS PUBLIC COMMENT. IF THERE ISN'T, I WON'T USE REBUTTAL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THERE IS ONE THING I DID FORGET TO MENTION BECAUSE I WAS JUST THERE AND IF I DON'T MENTION IT. THE AREA THAT IS EAST OF THE SELMON IS NOT JUST INDUSTRIAL. THEY HAVE NEIGHBORHOODS THERE, AND THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE REBUILDING. SO I DON'T WANT TO CLASSIFY THAT AS SIMPLY INDUSTRIAL LAND. JUST HAD TO SAY THAT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE SOME OBSERVATIONS. ONE, I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK -- IF THIS COMES TO FRUITION, WE NEED TO LOOK AT EXTENDING THE STREETCAR SLIGHTLY TO THE EAST AND GET IT POSSIBLY TO A MEDICAL DISTRICT. WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY FROM MOBILITY HERE TONIGHT, DO WE. I'LL BE KNOCKING -- I'LL BE KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR TOMORROW. NO, I THINK THIS IS EXCITING. I LOOK AT THIS AS A CONTINUATION OF WHAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM WE USED TO HAVE HARBOR ALONG HILLSBOROUGH RIVER AND DOWNTOWN. THAT CHANGED. OF COURSE, WE'VE ALL SEEN IN OUR LIFETIMES WHAT'S HAPPENED IN CHANNELSIDE AND WATER STREET. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY UP HERE WOULD TURN THE CLOCK BACK TO THE WAREHOUSE DISTRICTS AND THE TYPE OF STUFF THAT WE SAW THERE. AS WE SEE THIS VISION FROM OBVIOUSLY, SEEN FROM SOME OF THE VISIONARIES, INCLUDING MR. SHAW, WHO IS IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY, OF THIS SORT OF COMPLETING THAT VISION AND REALLY MAKING IT SOMETHING THAT IS A SPECIAL AREA. SO OFTEN NOW WE SEE COUNTY COMMISSION EXPANDING THE URBAN SERVICE AREA, SO COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO I THINK AT LEAST IDEA OF URBANISM IN ORDER TO COMBAT THAT WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE THE DENSITY AND THE DEVELOPMENT IN THESE KEY AREAS WHERE WE CAN HAVE LIVE, WORK, PLAY AREAS. THAT IS WHAT CITY OF TAMPA CAN BRING TO THE TABLE AND TO COMBAT THE URBAN SPRAWL AND THE DEPENDENCE UPON MOTOR VEHICLES. I'M EXCITED TO SEE THIS. I HOPE IT COMES TO FRUITION. I HOPE YOU SEE THE VISION THROUGH. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: ONE COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK BROUGHT UP AND ALSO STAFF, THE SENSITIVITY TO THE PORT AND MARITIME INDUSTRY. IF WE CUT OFF OUR JOBS, NOBODY NEEDS TO LIVE HERE ANYMORE. NOT EVERY JOB CAN BE REMOTE. AS A.I. TAKES OVER SOME OF THE WHITE COLLAR JOBS, THE HIGH PAYING BLUE COLLAR JOBS AT THE PORT WILL BE MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T EASILY BE REPLACED, AT LEAST NOW WITH A.I. AND ROBOTS. I DON'T THINK THIS ENCROACHES ON THAT, BUT I WANT TO SET AS A WARNING TO ANYBODY ELSE, IF THEY START TO GO FURTHER -- IF OTHER PEOPLE START TO GO FURTHER SOUTH OR EAST AND SOUTH, THAT'S WHEN -- IT'S NOT THE PORT THAT WOULD COME OUT. THE MAYOR SITS ON THE PORT. THE PORT ITSELF MAY NOT COME OUT BUT THE MARITIME INDUSTRY WILL COME OUT AND PROTEST WHEN THEY SEE IT IS ENCROACHING. THE REASON THEY WOULD PROTEST, IT MEANS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF HIGH PAYING BLUE COLLAR JOBS. THE OTHER THING IS THE SENSITIVITY TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAN'T TAKE THE CLOCK BACK TO THE 1950s AND REPLACE WHAT WAS THERE AND CAN'T LIMIT WHO CAN MOVE BACK TO YBOR. SOME PEOPLE IN YBOR WOULD LIKE IT TO BE EXACTLY LIKE IT WAS BEFORE, BUT I THINK THESE OWNERS HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY SENSITIVE. I'VE SAID BEFORE IF YOU GO TO PLACES LIKE WILLIAMSBURG, 90% OF THE BUILDINGS WERE RE-CREATED THERE. NOW THEY ARE A HUNDRED YEARS OLD. WARSAW, THE OLD TOWN THAT LOOKS 500 YEARS OLD, WAS COMPLETELY RE-CREATED BECAUSE IT WAS TORN OUT BY THE NAZIS AND SOVIETS. AS NEW BUILDINGS POP UP, MR. SHAW AND HIS PARTNERS, THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE A HUNDRED YEARS OLD. I FIND THAT THE RESIDENTS OF YBOR ARE INCREDIBLY HAPPY WITH IT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS DEFINING A NEW YBOR BUT IT IS SENSITIVE TO OLD YBOR. WITH THOSE TWO SENSITIVITIES IN MIND, I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THIS. BUT FOR ANYBODY ELSE WHO COMES THROUGH, TO ME, YOU'VE GOT TO MEET THOSE TESTS AMONG ALL THE OTHERS. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: VERY GOOD. SAY SOMETHING ELSE? >>LYNN HURTAK: YEAH. I'M TORN ON THIS ONE BECAUSE OF THE INDUSTRIAL LAND, THE COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA AND JUST THE PORT IN GENERAL. I'M LESS CONCERNED WITH 25-09 THAN I AM WITH 25-10 AND 11. SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GET A LOT MORE -- HAVE TO HAVE A LOT MORE PUSH ON THAT. THIS AREA ALONG 7th AVENUE OUTSIDE THE HISTORIC DISTRICT I'M NOT AS CONCERNED ABOUT. BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT 10 AND 11. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'LL RESERVE THE SAME THOUGHTS I HAD ABOUT THAT AT THE TIME. WE'LL BE GOING BACK AND FORTH ON THAT ONE WHEN IT COMES BEFORE US TONIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. COUNCILMAN VIERA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS ONE, PLEASE? >>LUIS VIERA: DID WE CLOSE OFFICIALLY? OKAY. I'VE GOT TO READ IT. I MOVE AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT FUTURE LAND USE MAP FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1703 NORTH 24th STREET, 1701 NORTH 25th STREET, 2602 EAST 7TH AVENUE, 2623 EAST 8th AVENUE, 2622 EAST 7TH AVENUE, 2624 EAST 7TH AVENUE, 2702 EAST 7TH AVENUE. 2706 EAST 7TH AVENUE, 2615 EAST 7TH AVENUE, 2703 EAST 7TH AVENUE, 2707 EAST 7TH AVENUE, 2705 EAST 7TH AVENUE, 2709 EAST 7TH AVENUE, 2805 EAST 7TH AVENUE, 2805 EAST 7TH AVENUE, UNIT ONE HALF, 2901 EAST 7TH AVENUE AND 2915 EAST 7TH AVENUE FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL LI AND GENERAL MIXED USE 24, GMU 24 TO URBAN MIXED USE 60, UMU 60 AND COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL 35, CC-35, PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA. A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE TO READ THAT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 20th, 2025, AT 10 A.M. AT OLD CITY HALL, LOCATED AT 315 EAST KENNEDY BOULEVARD, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA FLORIDA 33602. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HERE WE GO. ITEM NUMBER 4. >> GOOD EVENING. KATRINA CORCORAN, PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF. HERE TO PRESENT ON TA/CPA 25-06. THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT INCLUDING FIVE SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, RECREATION OPEN SPACE, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, SOLID WASTE INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION AND DEFINITIONS. STARTING WITH RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE, THE OBJECTIVES HERE INCLUDE ACCESS TO RECREATION OPEN SPACE, PARKS, ALSO CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS AND DEMANDS FOR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE AS WELL AS CONSERVATION, RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY, SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO PARKS. THIS SECTION PROVIDES LONG-RANGE POLICY DIRECTION ON EXISTING AND FUTURE RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE NEEDS. YOU'LL SEE THIS THROUGHOUT THE SLIDES, BUT THE DRAFT LANGUAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED, STREAMLINED AND REARRANGED. NOTABLE NEW TOPIC AREAS FOR THE SECTION INCLUDE ACCESS IN HEALTH, RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY AND UPDATES TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION LEVEL OF SERVICE OR L.O.S., WHICH I'LL NOTE IS NOW WITHIN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION. THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, THE OBJECTIVES INCLUDE MAINTAINING A SUSTAINABLE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM OR CIP FOR GROWTH AND REPAIR. ALSO INCLUDES ADHERENCE TO LEVEL OF SERVICE OR L.O.S. STANDARDS. I'LL NOTE WITH THIS THAT WE HAVE ADOPTED LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS, WHICH ARE REQUIRED BY STATE STATUTE TO MEET, AND WE ALSO HAVE TARGET LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARDS WHICH ARE FOR PLANNING PURPOSES. AN EXAMPLE OF THAT WOULD BE MOBILITY. WE ALSO HAVE LANGUAGE ON ENHANCING RESILIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY AS IT RELATES TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. PROMOTING CITYWIDE RESOURCE ALLOCATION, SO MAKING SURE THESE PROJECTS ARE NOT JUST IN ONE PORTION OF THE CITY. AND THEN COLLABORATIVE DECISION MAKING SO MAKING SURE THAT THESE PROCESSES ARE UNDERSTOOD BY THE PUBLIC. AGAIN, THIS SECTION PROVIDES LONG-RANGE POLICY DIRECTION ON INFRASTRUCTURE, CAPITAL PROJECTS AND FUNDING. IT DOES INCLUDE THE L.O.S. PORTIONS THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER AS WELL AS CONCURRENCY AND GUIDES THE ANNUAL CIP REVIEW AND SCHEDULE OF PROJECTS DEVELOPMENT, WHICH ERICA SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER. NOTABLE NEW TOPICS, INCLUDE PROJECT RESILIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY AS WELL AS NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AS IT RELATES TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. OUR THIRD SECTION THAT WE HAVE TONIGHT IS SOLID WASTE. THE OBJECTIVES HERE INCLUDE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AS CONTINUED PRIORITIES. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION, ADHERENCE TO STANDARDS AND INCORPORATING BEST PRACTICES FOR SOLID WASTE. REDUCING WASTE THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES IN EDUCATION. THINK RECYCLING. FINALLY, ADAPTATION TO NATURAL HAZARDS SO THINKING ABOUT HURRICANE DISPOSAL, BEFORE A HURRICANE AND AFTER A HURRICANE. AGAIN, THIS LOOKS AT LONG-RANGE POLICY DIRECTION ON SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL AND MANAGEMENT. NOTABLE NEW TOPICS IN THIS INCLUDE INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT, LOOKING AT THE RESILIENCE OF OPERATIONS AND STORM EVENTS, INEFFICIENCIES VIA EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES. OUR FOURTH SECTION TONIGHT IS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION. OBJECTIVES INCLUDE MULTIJURISDICTIONAL PLANNING COORDINATION ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND TOPICS, REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, SCHOOLS PLANNING, AND PORT AND AIRPORT MASTER PLANNING. THIS PROVIDES DIRECTION ON EFFICIENCY IN GOVERNMENT AS WELL AS COORDINATION BETWEEN GOVERNMENTS AGENCIES AND DEPARTMENTS. THIS SECTION DOESN'T HAVE AS MANY NOTABLE NEW SECTIONS. IT HAS MAJORLY BEEN STREAMLINED. AGAIN, LOOKING AT LAND USE, ENVIRONMENTAL AND TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS ACROSS JURISDICTIONS. THIS ALSO INCLUDES MASTER PLAN AND LOCAL AREA AUTHORITY REVIEWS AND COORDINATION. OUR FINAL SECTION TONIGHT IS THE DEFINITIONS SECTION. THIS SECTION LOOKS AT STANDARDIZED DEFINITIONS FOR KEY TERMS USED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. IT DOES ENSURE CONSISTENCY AND CLARITY ACROSS ALL SECTIONS, POLICIES AND REGULATIONS. WE HAVE REMOVED LANGUAGE THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY EITHER WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OR IS EASILY DEFINED OUTSIDE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. EXAMPLE I LIKE TO USE WITH THAT IS THE TERM GARBAGE. WE TOOK THAT OUT. IT'S NOT NECESSARY. BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN TERMS THAT ARE USED IN THE COMP PLAN THAT ARE VERY SPECIFIC TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. EXAMPLE WOULD BE BONUS CEILING. SOMETHING YOU WANT DEFINED WITHIN YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. OVERALL, THE SECTION WILL IMPROVE INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION OF POLICIES BY DECISION MAKERS, DEVELOPERS, AND THE PUBLIC. DID WANT TO NOTE A FEW REVISIONS SINCE THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING. WE DID UPDATE A TERM PER THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS REQUEST. SO THAT IS NOW DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES PLAN. WE DID ADD A PAGE SHOWING THE STRIKE-THROUGH OF SOME ADOPTED FLU AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES THAT ARE BEING MOVED INTO THE PROPOSED SECTIONS AS WELL AS THE MOVEMENT OF ADOPTED ROWS POLICY MOVING INTO THE ENVIRONMENTAL SECTION. WE ADD A STRIKE THROUGH OF ADOPTED INFRASTRUCTURE DUE TO DUPLICATION WITH THE PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT SECTION. FINALLY, DEFINITION SECTION IS INCLUDING TERMS PREVIOUSLY TRAVELING WITH THE FLU AMENDMENT DUE TO THE TIME LINE ON THAT. WE DID HAVE STAKEHOLDER AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IN JUNE. FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENTS, PROJECT WEBSITE, PUBLIC OUTREACH KICKOFF. WE HAD TWO PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS IN PERSON AND VIRTUAL. E-MAIL AND SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH CAMPAIGN. WE DO PROVIDE COMPARATIVE CROSSWALKS FOR ALL OF THESE SECTIONS THAT SHOWS WHAT IS NEW AND EXISTING FOR THE SECTIONS, WHAT WE DELETED, IF THAT IS A MAJOR CHANGE. WE DO HAVE MAIN PROJECT PAGE AS WELL AS A PROJECT PAGE THAT YOU CAN SEE HERE FOR TA/CPA 25-06, WE HAD A PUBLIC COMMENT BOX THAT WAS AVAILABLE ONLINE THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD FOR FOLKS TO PROVIDE COMMENTS ON THESE SECTIONS. FOR AGENCY COMMENT, WE DID DO PRELIMINARY AND FORMAL AGENCY COMMENT REVIEW PROCESS FOR THIS UPDATE. NO OBJECTIONS WERE RECEIVED. ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT STAFF LOOKED AT THESE SECTIONS FOR SB 180 IMPACTS IN COORDINATION WITH CITY LEGAL. WE FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE SECTIONS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING AND TRANSMITTING TO THE STATE. FINALLY, OUR CONSISTENCY REVIEW HERE, THIS JUST SHOWS IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ADOPTED RECREATION OPEN SPACE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT, SOLID WASTE AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION SECTIONS LANGUAGE. YOU CAN SEE REPRESENTED GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES ON THIS SLIDE. FINALLY, THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOUND TA/CPA 25-06 CONSISTENT WITH THE TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. RECOMMEND TRANSMITTAL BY TAMPA CITY COUNCIL. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST HAVE TO ASK, BECAUSE IF I DON'T, SOMEONE IS GOING TO ASK. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLARIFYING, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LAND USE AND ZONING. >> YES. THIS IS ONLY FOR RECREATION OPEN SPACE, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT, SOLID WASTE, INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION AND DEFINITIONS. ONLY THING I WILL NOTE, WHICH I NOTED IN THE SLIDES IN THE PRESENTATION, IS THAT THERE ARE TERMS RELATED TO THE FUTURE LAND USE SECTION THAT ARE NOW IN THE DEFINITION SECTION JUST BECAUSE OF TIMING. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. YEAH. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IF YOU ASK THIS COUNCIL THE DEFINITION OF GARBAGE, YOU WOULD GET SIX DIFFERENT ANSWERS. >> IT'S DEFINED BY MERRIAM-WEBSTER. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE STILL ARGUE OVER THAT. VERY GOOD. FOR EVERYBODY THAT IS A PART, I KNOW THESE -- ANYBODY OBSERVING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS A ROUTINE. YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE LEVEL OF WORK THAT GOES INTO HOW MUCH WORK THESE GUYS DO IN PREPARING THIS. IT'S A LOT. A LOT OF WORK. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THAT. APPRECIATE IT. IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO ITEM 4? WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED? GREAT. MOVE TO TRANSMIT FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. A SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT. THANK YOU. FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING, IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK TO ANY OF THESE ITEMS, I NEED YOU TO STAND, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND BE SWORN IN BY OUR CLERK. [OATH ADMINISTERED] >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU SO MUCH. GOOD EVENING. >>LaCHONE DOCK: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. ITEM 5 IS AB 2-25-15. THIS IS FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2905 NORTH 50th STREET. THE REQUEST IS FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF A RESTAURANT, CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES ONLY FOR THE SALE OF BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR. I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED WITH THE REQUEST. SO THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON 50th STREET. THIS IS 50th. THIS IS 21st AVENUE. THE BLUE LINE IS THE ENTIRE -- THE PARCEL BOUNDARY. THERE IS A HOTEL ON THE SITE AND THEN THERE IS THE OTHER STRUCTURE ON THE SITE, WHICH WOULD BE THE RESTAURANT USE. THIS IS THE REQUEST FOR ALCOHOL SALES, THE OUTLINE THAT'S IN RED. THAT IS THE AREA FOR THE ALCOHOL SALES. SO I'LL SHOW YOU THOSE PICTURES SHORTLY, BUT THE REQUEST IS FOR INDOOR AREA OF SALES CONTAINING 11,213 SQUARE FEET. THE OUTDOOR AREA FOR SALES WHICH WOULD CONTAIN 1,062 SQUARE FEET. I HAVE FOR YOU THE ZONING MAP. SO THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE THAT'S OUTLINED IN RED. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE SITE IS BOUNDED BY I-4 TO THE SOUTH. THIS IS 50th STREET THAT'S ON THE WEST. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THAT THE COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE ZONING EXISTS ALONG 50th STREET. YOU HAVE YOUR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES. YOU HAVE A GAS STATION THAT'S HERE DIRECTLY SOUTH OF THE SITE AND THEN ALSO TO THE WEST AND THEN A RETAIL USE AND MORE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USE THERE TO THE NORTH. I HAVE A FEW PHOTOS OF THE SITE. THIS IS A VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE. THIS IS THE NORTH CORNER. JUST A CLOSE-UP OF IT. THIS IS IF YOU ARE AT THE CORNER OF 21st. YOU CAN SEE THE GAS STATION THAT'S THERE ON THE SOUTH. THIS IS INTERNAL TO THE SITE. THIS IS THE HOTEL THAT EXISTS. BUT THAT WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE SALES AREA FOR ALCOHOL. THIS IS THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE SITE, WHICH IS LOCATED HERE. LET ME ZOOM OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. YOU CAN SEE THE INTERSTATE THAT'S BORDERING THE BOUNDARY OF THE SITE. ANOTHER VIEW SOUTH. AND THEN THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH ON 50th STREET. THIS IS A VIEW NORTH OF THE SITE, OF THE SUBJECT SITE. THE ARC STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST, FOUND THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT DUE TO THE DISTANCE SEPARATION WAIVER REQUESTED. ON THE APPLICATION. WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. ITEM 6 IS AB 2-25-20 FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 340 EAST DAVIS BOULEVARD. THE REQUEST IS FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES SMALL VENUE. CONSUMPTION ON PREMISES ONLY AND FOR THE SALE OF BEER AND WINE. THIS IS THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED WITH THE REQUEST. SO THIS IS THE PROPERTY THAT IS LOCATED ALONG DAVIS BOULEVARD. THIS IS CHESAPEAKE AVENUE. THIS IS THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY THAT IS OUTLINED IN BLACK. SO THE AREA THAT IS IN RED IS IDENTIFIED AS THE INDOOR AB SALES AREA UNDER THE REQUEST THIS EVENING. AND THAT WOULD CONTAIN 1,743 SQUARE FEET. THE AREA THAT'S IN BLUE IS THE OUTDOOR AB SALES AREA, AND THAT IS -- THAT WOULD CONTAIN 3,051 SQUARE FEET OF SALES AREA. YOU CAN SEE THE SURFACE PARKING IS LOCATED HERE ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING WITH ACCESS FROM CHESAPEAKE AND SURFACE PARKING SPACE THAT'S LOCATED THERE IN FRONT OF THE SITE. AND THIS IS THE ZONING MAP. THIS IS THE AERIAL OF THE SUBJECT SITE. THE SITE IS IN RED OUTLINED IN RED.

JUST WANTED TO SEE SOME DISTANCE SEPARATION. THANK YOU. >>LaCHONE DOCK: YOU'RE WELCOME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU, COUNCIL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: APPLICANT? >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. ALEX SCHALER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT FOR ONE OF TWO AGENDA ITEMS THAT WE HAVE ON THE RECORD TONIGHT THAT ARE REALLY SMART USES OF ADAPTIVE REUSE. I THINK THAT WHILE WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO GET PERMISSION TO SELL AB SALES, AT THE CORE OF THE APPLICATIONS IS ADAPTIVE REUSE. THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND. THE ALCOHOL PIECE IS ONE SMALL PIECE OF A VERY LARGER PROJECT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE. WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING AT 340 DAVIS, ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE CURRENT BUILDING ON-SITE. USED TO BE THE EVIE SALES BUILDING ON THE CORNER OF THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR. IT WILL BE A SMALL ICE CREAM SHOP. ABOUT 22 CHAIRS INSIDE. REGULAR SEATING. THIS IS A RENDERING AND SOME OF THE COUNTER SEATS AND A TRADITIONAL ICE CREAM COUNTER. WE WOULD LIKE THE ABILITY, REASON WE ARE HERE, TO SELL BEER AND WINE OUT OF A REFRIGERATOR. GRAB AND GO. ANCILLARY TO THE ICE CREAM. AS WE ALL KNOW, ALCOHOL IS A REVENUE DRIVER AND WE WOULD LIKE THE ABILITY TO DO SOME OF THAT TO SELL THOSE SO THEY CAN CONSUME ON-SITE. THIS APPLICATION IS VERY NARROWED IN SCOPE. WE ARE REQUESTING PERMISSION FOR BEER AND WINE ONLY, NO LIQUOR. ALSO MADE ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS BECAUSE I'LL ZOOM OUT IN A SECOND AND SHOW YOU THIS IS ON THE EDGE OF THE COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR. SO WE DO WANT TO BE SENSITIVE TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. WE ARE COMMITTING TO END ALCOHOL SALES AT NINE DURING THE WEEK AND TEN FOR THE EXTENDED WEEKENDS. COMMITTING TO NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND AND WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY TABLES AND CHAIRS OUTSIDE. THAT IS A GREEN TURFED AREA. I'M GOING TO SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER AS IT RELATES TO PARKING. AS MENTIONED AND LaCHONE DID A GOOD JOB SETTING THIS UP, THE SITE IS COMMERCIALLY ZONED. WE DON'T HAVE ANY REZONINGS PROPOSED FOR THIS. ALREADY ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USES TODAY. AS MENTIONED, IT IS THE ONE THERE AT THE CORNER AT THE EDGE OF THE COMMERCIAL STRIP. THIS IS ALREADY A WET BLOCK. IN TERMS OF PRECEDENT SETTING WE'RE NOT EXTENDING WET ZONINGS FURTHER INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS BLOCK IS ALREADY WET ZONED. DUCKWEED IS ON THE CORNER, ANCHOR BAR, KIND OF THAT STRIP THERE. WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING WE BELIEVE IS MUCH MORE NARROW IN SCOPE. THESE ALCOHOL APPROVALS HERE FOR THE REST OF THE BLOCK, THEY CAN SELL UNTIL 3 A.M., CHAPTER 14 HOURS, BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR, ON PREMISES AND PACKAGE SALES. AGAIN, WE'RE PROPOSING LIMITED HOURS, NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND AND ON PREMISES CONSUMPTION ONLY. I KNOW THERE'S PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT OF A STICKER SHOCK WITH THIS PARKING WAIVER. TO BE CANDID, WE ACTUALLY FILED A DESIGN EXCEPTION A WHILE AGO WHEN WE STARTED WORKING ON THIS PROJECT. WHAT WE DID, THE CODE HAS AN ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO SEEK A 50% REDUCTION FOR ADAPTIVE REUSE BUILDING SPECIFICALLY. WHICH MAKES SENSE BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY KIND OF BOXED IN WITH A BUILDING ON-SITE THAT YOU HAVE. THAT'S WHAT WE DID. THAT INTERIOR PORTION OF THE BUILDING THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW, THAT DEMANDS SIX SPACES AND WE ARE DOING SOME PAVEMENT MARKINGS ON THE SITE. WE WILL HAVE SIX SPACES THAT ACCOMMODATES THAT INDOOR SPACE. HOWEVER, WHEN WE CAME TO THE WET ZONING, WE THOUGHT, WOULDN'T IT BE A GREAT IDEA TO PUT TURF OUT HERE AND DO LIKE A PLAY SET OR SOMETHING FOR THE KIDS TO RUN AROUND. WHAT IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO WALK OUT THERE WITH A BEER. THAT SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE, SO WE NEED TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE WET ZONING AREA. HOWEVER, THAT EXTREMELY DROVE UP THE PARKING REQUIREMENT AND WE ARE NOW REQUIRED TO PROVIDE FROM 6 SPACES TO 115 SPACES JUST FOR THIS OUTDOOR TURFED AREA. I HAVE THIS VIDEO. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL PLAY. I'VE TRIED TO DO VIDEOS HERE BEFORE AND DIDN'T GO OVER WELL. THIS IS A VIDEO TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW BIG THIS IS. THIS IS LIKE A RESIDENTIAL BACKYARD. VERY SMALL AREA. NOT LIKE ARMATURE WORKS. NOTHING HUGE. AGAIN, WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO WALK OUT BACK WITH A DRINK IF THEY WANT TO CHECK ON THEIR KIDS AND STAND OUTSIDE. AGAIN, THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE PARKING WAIVER. IT'S DIRECTLY RELATED TO ALL OF THIS SPACE THAT THE OCCUPANCY IS CALCULATED AT SEVEN SQUARE FEET PER PERSON FOR THE OPEN SPACE. THAT ASSUMES WE COULD FIT 435 PEOPLE OUT THERE IN THE BACKYARD. THAT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. AGAIN, WE DON'T FEEL LIKE WE NEED ANYWHERE NEAR 115 SPACES. WE FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT THE SIX SPACES ON-SITE ARE MORE THAN EFFICIENT FOR THE OPERATIONS AT THE ICE CREAM SHOP. WITH THAT I'LL BRING UP NICKY PATEL. HE IS THE OWNER. HE WILL SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIS VISION FOR KEY KEY'S. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS NICK PATEL. DAVIS ISLAND RESIDENT, TAMPA NATIVE AND HUSBAND AND DAD WITH TWO AMAZING KIDS. FEELS LIKE BOTH YESTERDAY AND LIFETIME AGO THAT DAVIS ISLAND WAS HIT BY TWO BACK-TO-BACK HURRICANES. IN THOSE TOUGH TIMES, THE COMMUNITY REALLY SHOWED WHAT IT IS MADE OF. PEOPLE HELPING EACH OTHER, CHECKING IN ON NEIGHBORS AND COMING TOGETHER IN WAYS THAT REMIND US HOW SPECIAL THE ISLAND IS. CALLING IT KIKI'S, WELCOMING SPOT FOR ISLANDERS OF ALL AGES. NOT A RESTAURANT, BUT SOMEWHERE TO STOP FOR COFFEE, ICE CREAM, SMOOTHIES, SEE A FRIENDLY FACE AND BE PART OF SOMETHING LOCAL. ALSO LIKE TO OFFER BEER AND WINE FROM A SMALL GRAB AND GO FRIDGE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ENJOY A GLASS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHILE KIDS PLAY NEARBY. NOT ASKING FOR OFF-PREMISES SALE. SIMPLE WAY TO MAKE THE SPACE INVITING FOR ADULTS. SPOKEN WITH NEIGHBORS AND CIVIC ASSOCIATION. WE KNOW THERE ARE A FEW CONCERNS, ALSO A LOT OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND EXCITEMENT, ESPECIALLY FROM PARENTS WHO WANT TO BRING A FAMILY FRIENDLY PLACE TOGETHER THAT IS NOT A SPORTS BAR OR A RESTAURANT. AT THE END OF THE DAY, KIKI IS ABOUT A COMMUNITY CREATING A WARM, EASY PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO CONNECT, RELAX, ENJOY WHAT MAKES DAVIS ISLANDS A SPECIAL PLACE TO LIVE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WAIT. THERE'S MORE. ARE YOU DONE? >> OH, YES. THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION. HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS? ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? ANYBODY WANTS TO COME UP. START WITH YOUR NAME. YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. LINE UP AGAINST THE WALL, PLEASE. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS SCOTT DEFRAYEDIES, 410 EAST DAVIS BOULEVARD. I'VE BEEN A PROUD RESIDENT ON DAVIS ISLAND FOR 33 YEARS. I'M ALSO A REGISTERED NURSE, WHICH MEANS I SPENT MY CAREER ADVOCATING FOR HEALTH, SAFETY, AND COMMUNITY WELL-BEING. VALUES I BELIEVE ARE AT RISK WITH THIS PROPOSAL. I AM FIRMLY OPPOSED TO THIS SPECIAL USE WHICH WOULD ALLOW ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AT 340 EAST DAVIS. I'M ESPECIALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE TWO WAIVERS BEING REQUESTED, WHICH WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE REQUIRED SEPARATION FROM NEARBY BUSINESSES AND HOMES. THIS IS NOT JUST A MODEST VENUE SERVING BEER AND WINE. IT IS NEARLY 5,000 SQUARE FEET COUNTING EVERYTHING THERE, WITH OVER 3,000 SQUARE FEET OF OUTDOOR SPACE, OPERATING UNTIL 1 A.M. ON WEEKENDS. THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT FOOTPRINT WITH LATE HOURS AND A NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWN FOR ITS PEACEFUL, WALKABLE CHARM. THE APPLICANT CLAIMS COMPATIBILITY BUT THE WAIVERS TELL A DIFFERENT STORY. ALSO, IF YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN, THEY DID NOT SCAN TO THE OTHER PART AT THE END OF THE BUSINESS. I'LL SHOW YOU THAT IF I HAVE ENOUGH TIME. THE FIRST WAIVER WOULD SHRINK THE REQUIRED DISTANCE BETWEEN ALCOHOL SERVING ESTABLISHMENTS FROM 250 FEET TO JUST 149 FEET. THAT IS A 40% REDUCTION. THIS ISN'T JUST A TECHNICAL ADJUSTMENT. IT'S A DECISION TO CONCENTRATE ALCOHOL VENUES MORE DENSELY IN A SMALL AREA. THAT KIND OF CLUSTERING CANNOT ALTER THE CHARACTER OF OUR COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR. IT LEADS TO MORE LATE-NIGHT DISTURBANCES, INCREASED TRAFFIC AND HIGHER POTENTIAL FOR CRIME. IT UNDERMINES THE THOUGHTFUL PLANNING THAT'S BEEN IN PLACE AND KEEPS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE AND LIVABLE. THE SECOND WAIVER IS EVEN MORE CONCERNING, REDUCING THE SEPARATION FROM RESIDENTIAL USES FROM 1,000 FEET TO JUST 39. THINK ABOUT THAT. 39. THAT IS A 96% REDUCTION. IT PLACES THIS VENUE PRACTICALLY IN SOMEONE'S BACKYARD. AS A NURSE, I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND HOW NOISE, STRESS, AND DISRUPTED SLEEP PATTERNS AFFECT HEALTH. BY HAVING THIS WAIVER, IT DISREGARDS THE WELL-BEING OF THE FAMILIES WHO LIVE NEARBY AND HAVE LIVED NEARBY. THESE WAIVERS AREN'T SMALL TWEAKS. THEY ARE CRITICAL SAFEGUARDS. THEY PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE BALANCE BETWEEN THRIVING BUSINESS DISTRICT AND A QUIET ENVIRONMENT OF RESIDENTIAL LIFE. IF THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVES THESE WAIVERS, IT SENDS TROUBLING MESSAGE THAT ZONING RULES CAN BE BENT AND THAT THE CONCERNS OF LONGTIME RESIDENTS CARRY LESS WEIGHT THAN COMMERCIAL CONVENIENCE. I URGE YOU TO REJECT THIS APPLICATION. I HAVE 13 SECONDS TO GO AHEAD AND SHOW YOU ON THIS PICTURE HERE, THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS AREA RIGHT HERE, IF I CAN PUT IT LIKE THIS RIGHT HERE. NO, IT'S THIS WAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, YOUR TIME IS UP. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SHE WOULD LIKE TO YOU LEAVE THE GRAPHIC. START WITH YOUR NAME, PLEASE. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> HI. JAMIE DEFREIGHTIES. I LIVE RIGHT TWO HOUSES DOWN FROM WHERE THIS ESTABLISHMENT WOULD BE. LET ME SEE WHERE THIS SHOWS CHESAPEAKE AND DAVIS. ALL THESE AREAS HERE ARE HOMES, AND THIS IS WHERE THAT ESTABLISHMENT IS. SO THE PHOTOS THAT YOU SAW THAT WERE PRESENTED DIDN'T PAN THAT STREET. THEY PANNED THE PARKING AREA OF THE APARTMENTS THAT ARE RIGHT THERE AND DIDN'T REALLY SHOW THAT THIS IS WHERE THE ESTABLISHMENT THEY ARE PROPOSING TO SELL BEER AND WINE, AND THIS IS WHERE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ARE LOCATED. YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY ARE VERY CLOSE. SO I URGE YOU TO REJECT THIS PROPOSAL. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IF IT IS APPROVED THAT IF THEY SOLD THIS PROPERTY TOMORROW, THAT WHAT THE OWNERS ARE PROMISING TODAY, THAT AB SALES FOR BEER AND WINE WOULD THEN CARRY OVER TO THE NEW OWNERS WHO THEN MAY HAVE DIFFERENT PLANS FOR THAT BECAUSE THEY NOW ALREADY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SELL BEER AND WINE THERE AT THAT ESTABLISHMENT. THERE ARE MANY REASONS. I DON'T THINK MANY OF YOU WOULD WANT A BAR NEXT TO YOU, 39 FEET FROM YOUR QUIET HOME THAT YOU ENJOY SITTING OUTSIDE ON PEACEFUL DAVIS ISLAND, HAVING A CUP OF COFFEE IN THE MORNING AND GLASS OF WINE IN THE EVENING IN YOUR OWN HOME. BETWEEN THE NOISE AND LATE-NIGHT DISTURBANCES, THEY ARE PRESENTING NOW THAT IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT AND THEY ARE GOING TO STOP AT 9:00 AND 10:00. ONCE IT'S APPROVED, ARE THEY APPROVING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO STOP AT 10. SO NOW YOU'LL SEND IT TO A NEW OWNER AND NOW IT CAN GO UNTIL 2, 3. LITERALLY IT WOULD STOP AT 9 AND 10. OKAY. THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY INITIALLY HAD SAID. JUST KIND OF CONCERNED THAT ONCE IT IS DONE, WHERE DOES IT END. IF IT SELLS TO SOMEBODY ELSE, NEW THING, BASICALLY BE LIVING NEXT TO A BAR, MAYBE NOT. MAYBE YOU GUYS ARE TELLING ME, NO, IT WILL STOP AT 9 AND CAN'T TRANSFER TO A NEW PERSON WHO CHANGES THE RULES. IT'S DEFINITELY A CONCERN. I DON'T WANT TO BE SITTING NEXT TO A BAR WHEN I AM AT HOME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN, AS YOU ALL EXPRESS YOUR OPINIONS, THE APPLICANTS WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS CONCERNS IN THE REBUTTAL. ALSO, COUNCIL THROUGH OUR CLARIFYING REMARKS, ADDRESS THOSE THINGS AS WELL. NEXT SPEAKER. STATE YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. >> HI. ANA MURRAY. I'M A 30-YEAR RESIDENT OF DAVIS ISLAND. I AM OPPOSED TO THE ALCOHOL AND BEVERAGE APPLICATION AND ASSOCIATED WAIVERS FOR KIKI ICE CREAM BAR AT 340 DAVIS BOULEVARD. CITING INCOMPATIBILITY WITH THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THE LOCATION IS NEAR A MIX OF MULTI-RESIDENTIAL HOMES AND INTRODUCTION OF ALCOHOL SALES WOULD INITIATE AN UNACCEPTABLE PROCESS OF NEIGHBORHOOD DEGRADATION. ICE CREAM PARLOR CUSTOMER BASE IS PRIMARILY YOUNG CHILDREN, DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT FROM AN ESTABLISHMENT SERVING ALCOHOL. APPROVING THIS LICENSE COULD LEAD TO INCREASED FOOT AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, LITTER, NOISE DISTURBANCES AND PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS THAT ARE ALL DURING AND WELL PAST RESIDENTIAL HOURS. THIS CHANGE DIRECTLY UNDERMINES THE TRANQUILITY AND CHARACTER OF THE ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY. I URGE YOU TO REJECT THIS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER, START WITH YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING, COLIN O'CONNOR. I AM ALSO DAVIS ISLAND RESIDENT. I LIVE ON DANUBE AVENUE, DIRECTLY BEHIND WHERE THEY ARE PROPOSING THE CURRENT LOCATION. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I AM A FATHER OF FOUR CHILDREN, TWO FOUR-YEAR-OLD TWINS, SIX-YEAR-OLD AND EIGHT-YEAR-OLD. I CAN TELL YOU THAT DAVIS ISLAND REALLY NEEDS A FAMILY CENTERED PLACE THAT ALSO ALLOWS FOR ADULTS TO ENJOY THEMSELVES. BASED ON THE CONCESSIONS THAT THEY HAVE MADE AROUND THE TIMING OF ENDING ALCOHOL SALES AND JUST WHAT I DO WITH MY FAMILY ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY OR ANY DAY OF THE WEEK, I WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A SPACE THAT WE CAN USE WHERE BOTH MY WIFE AND I CAN ENJOY A BEVERAGE WHILE OUR KIDS ARE ENJOYING ICE CREAM OR PLAYING OUT BACK OR HAVING A GENERAL PLACE WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER. I LIVE ABOUT A BLOCK FROM THE PLACE AND CAN SEE MYSELF WALKING THERE VERY, VERY FREQUENTLY AND HAVE NO CONCERNS ABOUT THE REUSE OF IT. I ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO APPROVE WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. START WITH YOUR NAME. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JAMES TRISHMAN. DI RESIDENT. AFTER ABOUT 16 YEARS OF SERVICE IN THE MILITARY, I MOVED HERE. I CURRENTLY REPRESENT VETERANS. I AM A DI RESIDENT, BUT I'M ALSO HERE, MY WIFE RECENTLY OPENED UP A PILATES STUDIO RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM THE LOCATION WE'RE SPEAKING OF. I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR THIS, NOT JUST AS A RESIDENT, BUT AS A BUSINESS OWNER. I THINK THERE IS A THEME HERE THAT YOU WILL HEAR FROM PEOPLE IN SUPPORT OF THIS. IT'S COMMUNITY. THIS ISN'T AS A FATHER OF TWO, HUSBAND OF A FITNESS BUSINESS INSTRUCTOR DOWN THE BLOCK. NOT LOOKING FOR PARTIES ALL NIGHT. LOOKING FOR COMMUNITY. AFTER EVERYTHING D.I. HAS BEEN THROUGH, THE ENTIRE VILLAGE, MR. PATEL IS PUTTING A LOT OF EFFORT AND MONEY INTO REVITALIZING IT, AS BUSINESS OWNER AND RESIDENT SUPPORT. THIS IS JUST ONE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE WE THINK TO BRING COMMUNITY TOGETHER. A LOT OF THE CONCERNS WE'VE HEARD IS LIKE WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS, WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS, WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS. WE'RE NOT HERE FOR THESE WHAT-IFS. THIS IS WHAT IS GOING ON. THIS IS WHAT WE WANT AS RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS. WE ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT THIS WAIVER. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER. GOOD EVENING. >> HI. MY NAME IS SHAWNA WIGS. I PUBLISH TAMPA MAGAZINE AND I'M ALSO DAVIS ISLANDS RESIDENT. I AM A SINGLE MOM. I HAVE A SECOND GRADER. IT IS MY FIRST TIME AT CITY COUNCIL. I'M HERE BECAUSE I STRONGLY SUPPORT BOTH THE KIKI'S ICE CREAM PROJECT AND THE IMPROVEMENTS TO 220 EAST. WE ALL KNOW DAVIS ISLAND IS AN AMAZING PLACE TO LIVE. I'M CONVINCED THAT THESE IMPROVEMENTS MAKE IT EVEN BETTER. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS TO APPROVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. >> MIKE GRIZELL. >> MICHELLE GRIZELL. >> WE'VE BEEN RESIDENTS ON DAVIS ISLAND AT 108 CHESAPEAKE AVENUE, SO IT'S RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM WHERE THEY ARE PROPOSING THE OPENING OF KIKI'S. WE HAVE TWIN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD GIRLS, VERY MUCH LIKE WHAT JAMES HAD SAID ABOUT COMMUNITY AND ULTIMATELY REALLY THE VILLAGE AT A POINT OF HAVING SOME REVITALIZATION TO IT AND IMPROVEMENTS BEING DONE TO PROVIDE AREAS AND PLACES TO GO FOR OUR KIDS TO ENJOY AS WELL, BUT THEN ALSO FOR PARENTS AND OTHER FRIENDS OF OURS TO HANG OUT AND DO THE THINGS THAT WE DO AS FAMILIES AND HANG OUT WITH OUR KIDS ULTIMATELY. I GUESS ONE POINT OF NOISE AND THOSE BEING POTENTIALLY AN ISSUE, EXISTS THERE NOW UNDER RENOVATION. I THINK IT WAS THERE SEVEN YEARS OR SO AS A MEDITERRANEAN RESTAURANT THAT WAS WHERE THE FOUNTAIN IS ON THE CORNER OF BISCAYNE AND EAST DAVIS. I BELIEVE IT WAS THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY NIGHTS THEY WOULD HAVE EITHER A DEEJAY OR LIVE MUSIC. THAT WOULD GO ON UNTIL 11 OR MIDNIGHT. I COULD HEAR THAT FROM MY FRONT YARD. NEVER WAS AN ISSUE. JUST KIND OF AMBIENT NOISE, I GUESS, BUT THAT WAS EVEN FURTHER INTO THE VILLAGE AND IT JUST WAS NEVER REALLY A CONCERN AND THAT WAS ALWAYS ALLOWED TO OCCUR AND HAPPEN AT THAT ESTABLISHMENT. THAT WAS JUST KIND OF A >> AND I WILL ALSO NOTE THAT A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE HEARD THAT ARE OPPOSING THIS ARE NOT PEOPLE WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. THEY ARE NOT FAMILIES THAT FREQUENT THIS VILLAGE ALL THE TIME. FOR US THAT DO HAVE YOUNG KIDS AND WE WANT A LITTLE ICE CREAM SHOP WE CAN GO TO AND HAVE A GLASS OF WINE IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW AND WITHER IN STRONG SUPPORT AND REALLY HOPE YOU GUYS APPROVE IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. >> HI, GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS PAT GREEN. I LIVE THREE HOUSES DOWN FROM THE KIKI'S, I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN THIS HOUSE SINCE 1959. AND OF FACTS AND NEXT THAT YOU IT SHOULD SEE, AND ONE FACT THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ARE THE POLICE CALLS, THE NONEMERGENCY OVER YEARS. SO YOU HAVE HISTORIC VIEW OF IT. THE FOUNTAIN BAR, WHICH HE WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT, HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM. 10:00 DURING THE WEEK. 11:00 ON WEEKENDS. ALWAYS A PROBLEM. THE OTHER ONE RIGHT UP THE STREET, THE -- THE LITTLE PLACE KNOWN AS THE LIQUOR BAR NEXT TO IT. ALWAYS LOUD. YOU WALK BY. WREAKS OF AIR FORCE BASE. DRUNK PEOPLE CONSTANTLY. DRUNK PEOPLE DRIVING GO CARTS -- GOLF CARTS. PEOPLE SAY WE WANT A PLACE TO GO AND HANG OUT WITH THE KID. THEY ARE SERVING ALCOHOL AND LIQUOR ON THE SIDEWALK WHERE THEY SHOULDN'T BE ALREADY IN THE VILLAGE, OKAY. THE LITTLE SPRITZER BAR THEY HAVE ON CITY PROPERTY. YOU GUYS KNOW WE ARE SELF-INSURED, RIGHT. THEY ARE DRINKING THERE ALL TIME ON THIS CROOKED, JAGGED AREA WITH TABLES. NOW THIS KIKI'S -- I WORK THERE, TO DO SOME WORK ON THEIR BUILDING. AND BY THE WAY HE STILL HAVEN'T PAID -- HE IS REFUSING. TOLD ME THE ELLISON CONTRACTOR, HE IS NOT PAYING THEM. SO THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT GOES TO SOMETHING HERE -- IS NOT RIGHT. IT HAS BEEN MONTHS. ALISON'S CONTRACTING. THAT IS THEIR WORD YESTERDAY. THEY ARE PROPOSING THIS BAR ESSENTIALLY AND A SPOT IN THE CENTER FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM THE CONTRACTOR IS THEY ARE MAKING A POP-UP PLACE ON A REGULAR BASIS, ALL DIFFERENT BUSINESSES. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR IS AN ABILITY TO SELL ALCOHOL, AND FOR SPECIAL EVENTS. SO WHAT ARE THE SPECIAL EVENTS? WHAT ARE THEY SELLING? ARE THEY SELLING -- ARE THEY GOING TO BE SELLING LECK? WILL THIS MORPH INTO A LIQUOR THING? AND THEN THE NOISE IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE. AND IF YOU GO LOOK AT THE -- WHERE THE BAR IS, THAT IS A WEDGE-SHAPED BUILDING. THE NOISE TRAVELS THAT WAY. SO THIS IS AN ISSUE. THIS IS RESIDENTIAL AREA. LITERALLY. I KNOW IT WAS DESIGNED 100 YEARS AGO. BUT LITERALLY IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA ACROSS THE STREET. SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT ABOUT OUR PEACE? I HOPE YOU -- YOU DON'T ALLOW THIS. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. >> HI, COUNCIL MEMBERS. D.J. HAMILTON. A 15-YEAR DAVIS ISLAND RESIDENT AND A BUSINESS OWNER IN THE VILLAGE AS WELL. WE OWN THE MED SPA DI BODY, MY WIFE AND I. I AM PRESIDENT OF THE DAVIS ISLAND VILLAGE ASSOCIATION. WE ARE GOING TO DO SOME GREAT THINGS TO BEAUTIFY THIS VILLAGE AND HOPEFULLY WILL START WITH KIKI'S. I THINK IT IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME AS A FAMILY MAN AND MY DAUGHTERS AND WIFE. I HAVE A 12-YEAR-OLD AND A 10-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER TO GO UP AND VISIT AN ICE CREAM STORE. WHILE I AM NOT A DRINKER, MY WIFE LIKE TO HAVE A GLASS OF CHARDONNAY, SHE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT WHEN WE HANG OUT AND ENJOY OUR KIDS ENJOYING THEIR ICE CREAM. THIS IS NOT A BAR, IF I WANT TO RIP TEQUILA SHOTS, 20 YARDS AND DO IT THERE. THIS IS A FAMILY ESTABLISHMENT AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU APPROVE IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: GO BOLTS. NEXT SPEAKER. >> I AM CHRIS HENLEY AND LIKE MR. HAMILTON. I AM A PROUD DAD OF TWO DAUGHTERS. I GREW UP IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY BEFORE I FOUND DAVIS ISLAND. IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY. I WOULD HAVE ICE CREAM WHILE MY PARENTS ENJOYED A BEER AND GLASS OF WINE. I HEARD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT ITSELF THAT THIS WILL BE HERE IN DAVIS ISLAND I WAS THRILLED AND NOW I AM HEARING OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE PROTESTING THIS THING BECAUSE THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT ALCOHOL SALES. I WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE, IT IS BEER AND WINE IS WHAT HI UNDERSTAND THE WAIVER TO BE. NOT FOR LIQUOR DRINKS AS MR. HAMILTON JUST TALKED ABOUT, AND THERE ARE OTHER BARS RIGHT BE IN EX-TO THE VICINITY, REALLY CLOSE. NOT EVEN A PARKING LOT RIGHT THERE WHERE THERE IS LIVE MUSIC. SO WHEN PEOPLE ARE PROTESTING THE NOISE THAT IS GOING ON, IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN THERE WELL BEFORE THEY EVEN MOVED TO THE ISLAND. IF IT IS AN ISSUE FOR THEM NOW, IT IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE FOR THEM TOMORROW. BUT HAVING THIS WAIVER DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING THAT IS BEING PRESENTED IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, SIR. NEXT SPEAKER. >> HELLO, GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS MEGAN MOORE AND A HOMEOWNER ON THE ISLAND OF DAVIS ISLANDS SINCE 1997 AND MY AND I HAVE ENJOYED RAISING OUR CHILD HERE. SHE IS 17 YEARS OLD AND WE HAVE MISSED THIS WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR HER TO BE ON PLAYGROUND. I WISH WE HAD IT WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THESE WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES AND I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT THEY ARE NOW PROVIDING THIS ON OUR ISLAND. I THINK IT WILL ELEVATE OUR FAMILY ENJOYMENT. AND I THINK THEY ARE ALL ABOUT MAKING THIS A BETTER ISLAND FOR US. I AM SUPER GRATEFUL AND EXCITED TO ENJOY IT. SO THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. >> HELLO, MY NAME IS DANIELLE SHOEMAKER, A 17-YEAR RESIDENT ON DAVIS ISLAND AND I WAS ONE OF THOSE ONES AFFECTED BY THE HURRICANE. TO ME, I STRONGLY APPROVE THIS. ANY IMPROVEMENT ON DAVIS ISLAND WOULD BE GOOD IMPROVEMENT. AS PREVIOUS SPEAKERS, ANCHOR BAR, MOLLY MALONE'S, EVERYTHING ELSE 20 YARDS AWAY AND THEY ARE ONLY OFFERING BEER AND WINE UNTIL 9 OR 10:00 DEPENDING ON WHAT NIGHT IT IS. AS A LONG-TIME RESIDENT AND INTERIOR DESIGNER ON DAVIS ISLAND HAS PROBABLY 59% OF MY BUSINESS. HE WORK OUT OF THE HOUSE. I THINK THIS IS FANTASTIC FOR DAVIS ISLANDS IMPROVEMENTS. THANK YOU AND I DO HOPE YOU APPROVE IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS J.J. McCORMICK, A FIVE-YEAR RESIDENT OF DAVIS ISLAND. A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN SAID HERE AND I WANTED TO POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS. I DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS. I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS THAT DO HAVE KIDS AND A NICE TO HAVE A PLACE TO BRING THEM AND MINGLE AND SOCIALIZE. SOMETHING TO POINT OUT IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE MAP. PREVIOUSLY THE LAST FIVE YEARS LIVED THREE QUARTERERS OF A MILE AWAY FROM THAT DOWNTOWN AREA. I MOVED TO DANUBE AVENUE MUCH, MUCH CLOSER TO BRING ME CLOSER TO THAT AREA. APARTMENTS, THE PLACE AND ALL THIS RIGHT HERE SFRs, SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES BUT THOSE APARTMENTS. I AM A RENTER ON THE ISLAND. I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME. I PLAN TO STAY THERE. THAT AREA IS A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE ME. 30 TO 40-YEAR-OLD. I RUN A SMALL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY. I LIKE GOING TO EVERY OTHER ONE OF THESE ESTABLISHMENTS WORKING AND MEETING MY FRIENDS OUT FOR A SOCIAL EVENING, YOU KNOW. IF I HAVE FRIENDS -- LIKE MY HEAD PROJECT MANAGER. HE HAS TWO KIDS. I MEET HIM ON THE ISLAND ALL THE TIME. THIS WILL BE A PERFECT PLACE TO MEET THEM. GET WORK DONE. HANG OUT WITH MY NEPHEWS AND I THINK THERE IS A MISCONCEPTION. THE QUOTE, UNQUOTE, NOISE COMING FROM THESE PLACES, THIS IS PEOPLE LIKE ME THAT LIVE HERE AND WANT TO WALK TO THESE AREAS. SO THAT'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE. I MOVED CLOSER TO THAT AREA TO EXPERIENCE THESE A LITTLE BIT MORE. SO I AM IN FULL SUPPORT OF THIS. SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SHEAR TONIGHT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT AND I GUESS LAST SPEAKER. OH, WE HAVE ONE MORE. >> GOOD EVENING, ALEX AN TOES. I AM A RESIDENT OF DAVIS ISLAND WITH THREE CHILDREN. I ALSO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF BAYSHORE LITTLE LEAGUE WHERE WE SERVICE 450 TO 500 KIDS -- HOPEFULLY 550 KIDS THIS SPRING AFTER A SUCCESSFUL REGISTRATION. ALL THE FAMILIES, ALL THE KIDS AFTER THE GAME ON THURSDAY NIGHTS, WEDNESDAY NIGHTS, THURSDAY NIGHTS, FRIDAY NIGHTS, THEY ALL GO TO THE VILLAGE AND RESPECTFULLY -- I RESPECT THE VIEWS OF THE RESIDENTS CONCERNED OF THE NOISE AND ALCOHOL, BUT THERE ARE ALREADY SO MANY ESTABLISHMENTS AND LIQUOR LICENSES THAT ARE ALREADY SELLING THERE WILL 3 A.M. SO HAVING ANOTHER PLACE WHERE THESE KIDS AND THESE FAMILY CAN GO ENJOY THEMSELVES WITH A SIMPLE BEER AND WINE LICENSE, I AM PERSONALLY NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE SO MANY OTHER PLACES THAT INDIVIDUALS CAN STAY UP UNTIL 3:00 IN THE MORNING ON THE ISLAND. AND THEY ARE BOTH ON THE WET BLOCKS THAT ARE ALREADY APPROVED. IF THIS SITE WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE, I WOULD BE CONCERNED. BUT ALREADY ON A BLOCK WITH MULTIPLE BARS ON IT. WITH REGARDS TO A NEIGHBORHOOD, HYDE PARK HAS MODERNIZED, IT IS BEAUTIFIED. DAVIS ISLAND, THE VILLAGE IS OLD. IT NEED TO BE UPDATED. WHY CAN'T DAVIS ISLAND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY THAT HYDE PARK HAS FOR THEIR RESIDENTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HOPE YOU APPROVE IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ONE ONLINE SPEAKER, CHRISTIAN FADEL. >> FADEL, THANK YOU VERY OF MUCH. BEFORE I GET TO MY PREPARED REMARKS -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STATE YOUR NAME -- HOLD ON ONE SECOND. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YOU NEED TO STOP TALKING FOR ONE SECOND -- >> FOR 20 YEARS AND -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HOLD ON ONE SECOND, PLEASE. >> CAN YOU HEAR US? >> IT WAS A COFFEE SHOP WHERE ANCHOR BAR WAS, AND THEY -- AND THERE USED TO BE A -- NOT ONLY A COFFEE SHOP HERE, BUT DOWN THE STREET A BREAKFAST PLACE. THEY ARE BOTH GONE AND NOW THEY HAVE BECOME -- FIRST THEY STARTED WITH BEER AND WINE -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CHRISTIAN, WHEN YOU ARE HEAR ME, GIVE ME A THUMBS UP, PLEASE? CHRISTIAN, IF PUCK HEAR ME, GIVE ME A THUMBS UP. THIS IS JUST AN INTERESTING EXERCISE. THIS IS GOING TO REPLAY -- CAN HE SEE US? SOMEBODY REPLAY THIS ONE BACK. >> I AM A -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BEST TV IN TAMPA. >> WILL BE ESTABLISHED AND OWNER OF A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY 39 FEET SOUTH OF IT. SO I DO HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN THIS. FIRST THE APPLICANT IS ASKING TO REDUCE THE -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: NO, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT -- >>LYNN HURTAK: WE AREN'T -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE CAN'T USE HIS EVIDENCE. WELL, WE CAN KARAOKE -- >>LYNN HURTAK: HE CAN'T HEAR US. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BUM -- >> LARGE OUTDOOR SPACE LIKE THAT 39 FEET FROM A HOME WILL NOT INCLUDE SPEAKERS AND -- >>LYNN HURTAK: MUTED. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CHRISTIAN, STOP. I FEEL TERRIBLE FOR HIM. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF HE CAN'T HEAR YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. WHO CAN READ LIPS NOW. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IS IS HE THE ONLY SPEAKER TONIGHT ONLINE? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SEE WHAT YOU GOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO, NAYA. CHRISTIAN, CAN YOU HEAR ME? >>LYNN HURTAK: HE'S NOT LOOKING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAVE GIVEN IT EVERY OPPORTUNITY, BUT I THINK WE -- WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD -- CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? NO? WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON. CCTV, CAN YOU KILL THAT FEED, PLEASE. AND LET'S GO BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING. OKAY. YOU GOT TO KILL IT. PUT THE LITTLE X. THANK YOU. THAT WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. APPLICANT, WOULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE REBUTTAL AND PROVIDE CLARIFICATION OF THE SITE PLAN AND THE RESTRICTIONS. >> ALEX SCHALER, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. HARD TO FOLLOW THAT. BUT I WILL FIRST PROVIDE CLARIFICATION OF SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE SPECIFICALLY WITH REGARD TO KIND OF REGULATING AUTHORITY OF THE PLAN. WE HAVE COMMITTED TO LIMITED AB SALES HOURS AS MENTIONED, 9 P.M. DURING WEEKDAYS. 10 P.M. EXTENDED THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. NOSE ARE BINDING. SO THOSE ARE LISTED ON THE SITE PLAN. THOSE ARE SOMETHING IF THIS PROPERTY WITH AING TO CHANGE OWNERSHIP, THE NEW OWNER WILL COMPLY WITH THAT AND THAT IS ENFORCEABLE BY THE CITY. YOU WOULD GET A CODE VIOLATION IF DOING THAT LATER. WE ARE COMMITTING -- THE SITE PLAN NOTE TO NO AMPLIFIED SOUND. ONLY SOUND YOU WILL HEAR IS PEOPLE CHATTERING AND CHILDREN LAUGHING WHICH WE DON'T THINK TYPICALLY A HUGE PROBLEM. NO DEEJAYS OUTSIDE. NO LOUD BLASTING MUSIC OUTSIDE. AGAIN, WE ARE DOING THIS INTENTIONALLY TO BE VERY SENSITIVE BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT DAVIS ISLAND HAS A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET FREE THIS ESTABLISHMENT. I THINK THAT ADDRESSES ALL OF THE CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED. OH, ONE MORE, I THINK. THERE WAS SOME COMMENTS THIS BECOMING A BAR. WE HAVE A SITE PLAN NOTE ON THERE WHICH WE HAVE PUT ON OTHER AB ACTIONS IN THE PAST THAT WE HAVE DESIGNED TO REALLY RESTRICT THE USES THAT THIS COULD BE. THERE IS A NOTE ON THE SITE PLAN THAT LIMITS THIS OPERATING WITH A LICENSE ONLY A 2-COP OR SRX. YOU CAN NOT PULL A 4-COP LICENSE AND YOU CAN NOT SELL LIQUOR VIA THE CITY'S WET ZONING AND CAN'T PURSUE A STATE LICENSE TO SELL LIQUOR HERE. BEER OR WINE ONLY OR A RESTAURANT. WHAT WE COMMITTED ON THE SITE PLAN. AGAIN, THAT NOTE IS ALSO BINDING. KIND OF PIVOTING TO THOUGHTS I WANTED TO PROVIDE. THERE IS A LOT -- A BLANKET FEAR OF ALCOHOL, WHILE I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, YOUR JOB AS COUNCIL IS TO PROTECTED NEIGHBORHOOD, THERE IS AND SHOULD BE A DELINEATION BETWEEN PROTECTION AND PROHIBITION. IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO HAVE A BEER. SOMEBODY WANTS TO DRINK A CLASS OF WINE, THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN SOMEBODY GO TO SOHO SALOON AT 3 A.M. THAT CANNOT AND WILL NOT HAPPEN HERE. WE HAVE BINDING REGULATIONS IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT. AS YOU SAW HERE IN THE PEOPLE THAT WERE NICE ENOUGH TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON THE ACTION, THERE IS A VERY CLEAR DIVIDE HERE. A CLEAR DIVIDE BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO WANT THE ISLAND TO STAY EXACTLY WHAT IT IS TODAY TO VACANT BUILDINGS THAT WILL NOT BE A ADAPTIVELY REUSED AND BE A USE OF SPACE AND PEOPLE WITH FAMILIES AND CHILDREN AND WANT PLACES LIKE THIS TO GO. AND WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, MET OUR DUE BURDEN HERE IN MAKING SURE THAT THE ALCOHOL SALES PERMISSION THAT YOU ALL WILL BE APPROVING IS SENSITIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AGAIN, I THINK THERE IS CONCERNS ABOUT THIS BECOMING SOMETHING THAT IT CAN'T BE. IT WILL NOT BECOME SOMETHING THAT, AGAIN, WE HAVE THESE GOVERNING NOTES ON THE SITE PLAN. I THINK THE MAIN QUESTION BEFORE YOU ALL THIS EVENING IS, SHOULD SOMEBODY BE ABLE TO HAVE A GLASS OF WINE OR A BEER HERE AT 8:00 ON A THURSDAY. THAT IS A QUESTION. GRAB AND GO OUT OF A FRENCH. I UNDERSTAND CONCERNS OF PROXIMITY TO RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TAKEN ADDED MEASURE. MEASURES FROM THE CODE ASSUMING THAT PEOPLE ARE SELLING ALCOHOL UNTIL 3 A.M. AND BLASTING MUSIC OUTSIDE WITH A DEEJAY. THAT IS NOT HAPPENING HERE. CAN'T HAPPEN HERE AND WON'T HAPPEN HERE. THE PROPOSAL WE HAVE BEFORE YOU IS VERY SENSITIVE. WE HAVE TAKEN EVERY CONSIDERATION INTO ACCOUNT HERE AND WE FEEL THAT THE VALUE PROVIDED FOR THIS ADAPTIVE REUSE IS MUCH, MUCH MORE BENEFICIAL AND FAR OUTWEIGHS ANY KIND OF CONCERNS FOR A FUTURE THAT WE CAN'T PREDICT. WE REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. MOTION TO CLOSE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO MOVED. >>LYNN HURTAK: SECOND. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED. ANY DISCUSSION? I WILL START. HONESTLY FOR THOSE OF YOU OPPOSED, THIS IS A VERY, VERY MODEST REQUEST. GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST MODEST REQUESTS I HAVE EVER SEEN FOR ANYWHERE. AND, YOU KNOW, HONESTLY -- I SEE THIS A LOT FROM SOME NEIGHBORHOOD OPPOSITIONS. PART OF WHAT MAKES -- I LIVE IN HYDE PARK. WHAT MAKES THESE AREAS CHARM IS THE INHERENT MIXED USE OF THE AREA. THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE ALL MOVE THERE. SO I CAN WALK TO A RESTAURANT AND WALK AND SOME PEOPLE LIVE IN SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, THE SAME KIND OF THING. THESE MIXED AREAS IS WHAT MAKES TAMPA, TAMPA. PART OF OUR CHARM. ECLECTIC NATURE OF DAVIS ISLANDS IS ALWAYS FASCINATING TO ME. THE OLD TATE'S PIZZERIA. AND A MEXICAN RESTAURANT AND A THAI RESTAURANT AND A COFFEE BAR AND COOL LITTLE KITCSCHY KIND OF STORES AND TOUGH, WHAT MAKES TAMPA, TAMPA. A REALLY INTERESTING CONCEPT. I HAVE A FIVE-YEAR-OLD GRANDDAUGHTER AND OCCASIONALLY I MIGHT WANT TO TRY A BEER. SOUND KIND OF INTERESTING. I THINK THIS IS TAMPA'S TAMPA. THOSE WHO LIVE IN THESE MIXED USE AREAS, THIS IS PART OF WHY -- WHY OUR PROPERTY VALUES ARE DOING SO WELL AND PART OF THE REASON WHY PEOPLE CLAMOR TO MOVE INTO THESE NEIGHBORHOODS. OF PLACES, GATED COMMUNITIES WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THAT. IT CRACKS ME UP. PEOPLE MOVE INTO DOWNTOWN AND COMPLAIN OF THE NOISE OF DOWNTOWN. YOU ARE MOVING TO IT THE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT IS HAPPENING AND WHERE IT IS AT. THAT IS MY POINT. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK -- ANYBODY ELSE? OR JUST YOU. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE DISCUSSION FIRST, BUT THE HEARING NEEDS TO BE REOPENED BECAUSE THE DISCUSSION OF A REVISION SHEET. >>LYNN HURTAK: SO MOVED. >>LUIS VIERA: SECOND. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A MOTION C COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA TO REOPEN THE HEARING. >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU, COUNCIL. LaCHONE DOCK, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. I WANT TO PUT ON THE RECORD THAT STAFF REPORT REVISIONS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. SUPPLEMENTAL REVISION SHEETS WHICH INCLUDE THE HOURS THAT ARE MENTIONED BY THE APPLICANT AND WILL BE REVISED AND UPDATED ON THE SITE PLAN BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. IF YOU CAN INCLUDE THAT IN THE MOTION, PLEASE AND I WILL SUBMIT IT FOR THE RECORD. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. CAN WE HAVE ANOTHER MOTION TO CLOSE PLEASE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO MOVED. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FAVOR. OPPOSED. AYES HAVE IT. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I UNDERSTAND THE FOLKS WHO WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS THINKING THAT, YES, DEFINITELY IF IT WERE TO CHANGE HANDS, I WOULD FEEL THE SAME WAY, BUT THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF A SITE PLAN REQUIREMENT IS THAT WE CAN ABSOLUTELY -- IF THEY SELL ALCOHOL AFTER 9:00 ON A WEEKDAY OR AFTER 10:00 ON A WEEKEND, CODE CAN GET INVOLVED. IF THIS WERE TO END AND THE ICE CREAM SHOP WAS TO CLOSE AND A RESTAURANT WAS TO OPEN, THEY WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW THE EXACT SAME RULES. AREN'T ALLOWED TO CHANGE IT IF THEY WANT TO. IF THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE RULES, HE TO COME BACK HERE. THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT THESE -- THESE RULES ON-SITE PLANS. THE SAME THING ABOUT LIQUOR. A LIQUOR LICENSE IS VERY EXPENSIVE. YOU CAN'T JUST SELL LIQUOR BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SELL LIQUOR. IF YOU SELL LIQUOR IN AN ESTABLISHMENT WHERE YOU ONLY ALLOW TO SELL BEER AND WINE, THE CITY WILL COME FOR YOU. NOT JUST THE CITY BUT I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THE STATE WILL COME FOR YOU TO. THERE ARE -- THESE ARE THE WAYS THAT WE CAN PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, GUARDRAILS TO PLACES LIKE THIS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: YEAH, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK IT IS VERY UNFAIR TO SAY THAT BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS AGAINST THIS, THEY ARE -- THEY ARE AGAINST DEVELOPMENT ON DAVIS ISLANDS OR AGAINST REDEVELOPMENT OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA. >> THANK YOU. >>BILL CARLSON: THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTS THAT COULD GO FORWARD IN DAVIS ISLANDS, AND IF YOU -- I WAS LIVING ALONG HOWARD AVENUE IN THE '90s. AND I REMEMBER JOHN AGREE COMING THROUGH AND BUILDING RESTAURANTS THERE AND EVERYBODY WAS EXCITED IT WAS GOING TO BE A RESTAURANT DISTRICT AND SOMEBODY CAME ALONG WITH CHANGING IT TO QUOTE, UNQUOTE, SOHO AND TURNING IT INTO THE BAR DISTRICT. NEIGHBORS DIDN'T AGREE. SOME MOVED IN AFTERWARDS AND DIDN'T AGREE TO IT BEING A BAR DISTRICT AND NO DESIGNATION AS AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT. SAME THING IN YBOR CITY. SUDDENLY WHAT HAPPENS IS THESE COME IN ONE-OFF. AND WE SAY THIS IS JUST ONE WAIVER. AND THE NEXT ONE IS JUST ONE QUAVER. AND IT IS ON THE SITE PLAN, BUT THEN WHAT HAPPENS A COUPLE OF YEARS FROM NOW THEY SAY YOU ALREADY DID THIS AND WHY CAN'T WE DO THAT. IF WE GO BACK IN TIME, AREAS LIKE HOWARD AVENUE WILL WISH WE DIDN'T MAKE THOSE WAIVERS AND MANY RESIDENTS IN YBOR CITY WOULD NOT DO IT. THIS IS NOT AN EASY ONE BECAUSE WE GOT A LOT OF E-MAILS FOR IT. AND A LOT OF E-MAILS AGAINST IT. WE GOT PEOPLE FOR AND AGAINST IT. THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY, BUT I AM GOING TO VOTE AGAINST IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY, VERY GOOD. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ THIS ONE? >>LYNN HURTAK: I WILL. AND, YOU KNOW, COUNCILMAN CARLSON, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I DO AGREE THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT COME IN FRONT OF US THAT AREN'T AGAINST DEVELOPMENT BUT STILL WANT REGULATION AND I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND BECAUSE I LIVE ONE BLOCK OFF OF FLORIDA AVENUE, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE. I LIVE BEHIND THE FRONT PORCH AND SIT ON MY FRONT PORCH AND HEAR FRONT PORCH. BUT ON THE SITE PLAN THEY HAVE TO STOP AMPLIFIED MUSIC ON 10 P.M. ON WEEKDAYS AND 11 P.M. ON THE WEEKENDS WHICH THEY DO WHICH IS WONDERFUL. ORDINANCE PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING CONSIDERATION, ORDINANCE APPROVING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT SU-2 FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE, SMALL VENUE CONSUMPTION ON-PREMISES ONLY MAKING LAWFUL THE SALE OF BEER AND WINE AT OR FOR THAT CERTAIN LOT ROAR PLOT, TRACT OF LAND 340 EAST DAVIS BOULEVARD, TAMPA, FLORIDA, AS MORE TECHNICALLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 2, PROVIDING ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT ARE REPEALED, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WITH THE -- >>LYNN HURTAK: WITH THE REVISION SHEET AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL REVISION SHEET THAT INCLUDES THE HOURS OF OPERATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. A SECONDED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED? >>BILL CARLSON: NAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAD THE ONE NAY. >>CLERK: MOTION CARRIED WITH CARLSON VOTE NOTHING. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 20, 2025 AT 10 A.M. AT OLD CITY HALL LOCATED AT 315 E. KENNEDY, THIRD FLOOR, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 336 02. COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SO I AM GOING TO RECUSE MYSELF FROM ITEM NUMBER 7 AFTER TALKING WITH OUR ATTORNEY REGARDING AB 2-25-21. THE APPLICANT IS THE LANDLORD OF THE BUSINESS OF A FAMILY MEMBER, WHICH IS MY FAMILY. AND I ABSTAIN FROM VOTE AGO QUASI JUDICIAL TO AVOID A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND FREE FROM BIAS OR PREJUDICE. MR. SHELBY, DO I SIGN THE BO THE TOMORROW OF THE SHEET? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE FORM. A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON. A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED. AYES HAVE IT. ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, STILL -- GOODBYE, FAREWELL. YOU ARE FUNNY. YES, MA'AM, LAST ITEM OF THE EVENING. >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIRMAN AND COUNCIL, LaCHONE DOCK, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. ITEM 7 IS AB 2- 25-21 THE PROPERTY AT 218 AND 220 EAST DAVIS BOULEVARD. THE REQUEST FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES, RESTAURANT CLASSIFICATION FOR THE SALE OF BEER, WEAN AND LIQUOR FOR CONSUMPTION ON-PREMISE ONLY. THIS IS THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED IN THE RECORD. SO THIS IS DAVIS BOULEVARD. AND THIS IS ITS STRUCTURE THAT IS LOCATED HERE. THE AREA IDENTIFIED IN RED WILL BE INDOOR AB SALES AREA PROPOSED THAT CONTAINS 5028 SQUARE FEET. AREA IN BLUE IS THE OUTDOOR AB SALES THAT CONTAINS 3307 SQUARE FEET. YOU CAN SEE THE SURFACE PARKING THAT IS LOCATED ON STREET THERE, ON THE SITE. THIS IS THE AERIAL MAP. THIS IS THE SUBJECT SITE WHICH IS LOCATED IN RED. THIS IS DAVIS BOULEVARD. AND YOU CAN SEE THE COMMERCIAL USES. THIS IS JUST UP ONE BLOCK FROM THE SITE THAT YOU JUST SAW. SO THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE SUBJECT SITE. THIS IS A ANOTHER VIEW. SO IT WOULD CONTAIN -- THIS IS ONE PARCEL AND THIS IS THE OTHER. IT WOULD WOULD BE A COMBINATION OF THE TWO SUITES THERE. AND THEN THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SITE. SOME THAT AREA WOULD BE THE OUTDOOR AREA THAT YOU SEE THERE IN FRONT OF THE LOCATION. THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING NORTH ON DAVIS BOULEVARD. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER VIEW THAT IS -- AT A DISTANCE. THIS IS EAST OF THE SUBJECT SITE. THIS IS ACROSS THE STREET. ANOTHER VIEW. EAST. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH IF YOU SWING AROUND ON DAVIS. AND THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW JUST CIRCLING BACK TO THE SUBJECT SITE. SO THAT, AGAIN, IS THE INDOOR AREA THAT IS THERE. THIS IS AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS COVERED AND THIS IS THE OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN. THE DRC STAFF REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND FINDS THE REQUEST INCONSISTENT. IT IS DUE TO THE WAIVERS THAT ARE REQUESTED. THERE ARE THREE WAIVERS REQUESTED. TWO DISTANCE SEPARATION WAIVERS. AND THEN ONE WAIVER THAT IS REQUESTED FOR THE PARKING. THERE ARE SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS TO BE MADE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING, AND THERE IS ALSO A SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET. I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU ARE SAYING THAT THE PARKING THAT IS THERE NOW WILL NOT BE THERE ANYMORE IN. >>LaCHONE DOCK: CORRECT, THE PARKING LOCATED HERE IN THE FRONT. THE WAIVER IS REFLECTED ON THAT. YOU WILL SEE THE PARKING WAIVER THAT IS REQUESTED TO REDUCE. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: THESE WILL BE COMBINED THAT ONE OR TWO SEPARATE. CAN THEY BE TWO ESTABLISHMENTS? >>LaCHONE DOCK: I BELIEVE AND THE APPLICANT WILL CLARIFY THIS WILL BE ONE. >>BILL CARLSON: IN THE FUTURE CAN IF BE OPENED FOR TWO ESTABLISHMENTS OR ALL PART OF ONE? >>LaCHONE DOCK: IN THE FUTURE, IF SOMEONE WERE TO ACTUALLY SPLIT THIS IN HALF AND HAVE TWO ESTABLISHMENTS, IT WOULD JUST HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME USE THAT IS LISTED WHICH IS THE RESTAURANT. >>BILL CARLSON: OKAY, THANK YOU. >>LaCHONE DOCK: THE SALES AREA COULD NOT EXCEED THE SQUARE FOOTAGES APPROVED THROUGH THIS IF IT IS APPROVED THIS EVENING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. APPLICANT? >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU, COUNCIL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. TYLER HUDSON, 400 NORTH ASHLEY DRIVE. OKAY. I THINK WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD PICTURE SLIDE SHOW. THIS IS THE RESTAURANT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. I THINK EVERY PERSON HERE IS FAMILIAR WITH EXACTLY WHERE IT IS LOCATED. LET'S GO BACK TO 1998. WE HAVE THE TAMPA TRIBUNE. WE ARE A TWO NEWSPAPER TOWN AND GIVE A PRETTY FAVORABLE REVIEW OF THE RESTAURANT WHEN IT OPENED, ESPECIALLY WITH ONE OF THE COBB SALADS. BACK IN 1998, SMOKING SECTIONS TOO WHICH THE REVIEW NOTES FAVORABLY. THIS WAS OPERATED AS A RESTAURANT SINCE 1998. THE APPLICANT, WHO WAS ALSO THE APPLICANT ON APPLICATION THAT YOU JUST APPROVED WAS THE TENANT AND OPERATOR, NOT THE PROPERTY OWNER. A LUNCH-DINNER SPOT. WEEKEND BRUNCH. VERY POPULAR WITH FAMILIES. I HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT PLAYS BAYSHORE LITTLE LEAGUE AND MAGNOLIA AND MY WIFE IS A COACH. VERY FULL AFTER GAMES, AFTER PRACTICES AND WHATNOT. THE PARKING CHARLOTTESVILLE AREA IS POPULAR WITH CHILDREN AND I WILL TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND. LIKE MOST PLACES ON DAVIS ISLAND, IT DID FLOOD AND DURING HELENE IT WAS ESSENTIALLY TOTALLED. A GAP IN THE WET ZONING. UP IN NORTH. YOU SEE AT THE BOTTOM THE EXISTING RESTAURANT THAT OPERATES AS 220 AND ALBEIT A LITTLE LESS PEP IN ITS STEP THAN IT USED TO AT ONE POINT. IN THE MIDDLE THERE WAS A LAUNDROMAT AND A YOGURT SHOP, I DON'T THINK AT THE SAME TIME, BUT AT ONE POINT. THAT AREA IS NOT WET ZONED. ON THE NORTH END, THERE WAS A PIZZA PLACE AT ONE POINT. SO WE ARE DEALING WITH A GAP IN THE WET ZONING. IT WAS OPERATED AS TWO SEPARATE RESTAURANTS. THIS WILL BE OPERATED AS A SINGLE RESTAURANT. IF THERE HAS BEEN A PARTICULAR COUNCIL CONCERN ABOUT THAT, I WILL BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS THAT. THIS IS THE GAP OVERLAID ON THE FLOOR PLAN. AND THAT IS NOT HYPOTHETICAL, THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BUILDING PERMITS FOR AND ARE READY TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS CONSTRUCTING. NOT JUST A NICE THING THAT AN ARCHITECT COOKED UP. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SPACE LAYOUT WILL LOOK LIKE. AND I WILL ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT AND NOTE TWO THINGS. FIRST IS THE OCCUPANCY. THEY ARE SETTING THIS UP AS A 165 PLUS STANDING ROOM. DOESN'T INCLUDE THE EXTERIOR PATIO, 20 OR SO CHAERS OUT THERE. I CAN'T MAKE IT ANY MORE CLEAR ON THE RIGHT SIDE. LET'S WALK THROUGH, WHAT IS THE NEW AREA BEING WET ZONED. WHAT IS THAT GOING TO BE USED FOR. FROM THE BOTTOM LEFT, BATHROOM FOYER. WE GO UP FROM THERE, BATHROOMS, ABOVE THAT, BAR STORAGE. TO THE RIGHT, WE ARE GOING CLOCKWISE, SORT OF A PRIVATE KIND OF ROOM THAT CAN BE -- THAT CAN BE RENTED. THEN WE GO DOWN, AND THE NEW WET ZONE DOES INCLUDE THIS SEATED BAR ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE RESTAURANT. IF IT GOES DOWN AND THE ENTRY FOYER. STANDARD PRACTICE AND THE CITY'S RECOMMENDATION YOU WANT TO WET ZONE THE ENTIRE BUILDING BECAUSE THINGS CAN CHANGE OVERTIME, BUT IT IS WORTH NOTING AND WHAT YOUR EYES TELL YOU THAT NOT EVERY SINGLE PART OF THIS NEW WET ZONING AREA IS GOING TO BE PACKED WITH PEOPLE. A LOT OF THIS IS REALLY BACK-OF-HOUSE SPACE WHICH EVERY RESTAURANT NEEDS -- SOME OF YOU HAVE WORKED IN RESTAURANTS KNOW. YOU CAN OPERATE TWO SEPARATE RESTAURANTS INEFFICIENT AND WOULDN'T WORK AS WELL. WHY THE RESTAURANTS ON THE SITE AND BUSINESSES HAVE STRUGGLED. PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON DAVIS ISLANDS CAN AGREE TO THAT. . WE CAN KEEP THE INCREDIBLY UNSAFE PARKING CONDITIONS AS IS. THAT IS NOT EVEN A CURB CUT. IT BLEEDS RIGHT INTO THE STREET. ONE OF THE THING THAT LACHONE SHOWS, ANYTHING LOOK STRANGE OF THE BLACK DENALI IT IS PARKED ON THE SIDEWALK. NO CURB TO SEPARATE THE STREET FROM THE SIDEWALK. DI COFFEE BAR, OFFICIAL HEADQUARTERS OF DAVIS ISLANDS, WHERE EVERYBODY BEHIND ME IS IT THERE FREQUENTLY. PEOPLE WALK OUT, GO TO THE RIGHT. AGAIN, NOT EVEN A CURB CUT. AT-GRADE SIDEWALK INTO STREET SITUATION. IT IS A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE IDEA. THE CITY CODE REQUIRES 63 PARKING SPACES. IF WE BUILD THOSE FOR THE PARKING GARAGE THERE WILL BE A LOT MORE PEOPLE HERE. ALL WE HAVE ARE EIGHT. EIGHT SPACES ON-SITE, OFF STREET SINCE THIS RESTAURANT HAS BEEN OPENED AND OPERATING. AS ALL OF YOU KNOW WHO KNOW DAVIS ISLAND, YOU CAN SEE ON SCREEN, THE ENTIRE -- THAT'S RIGHT. THANK YOU, ALEX. EVERYONE KNOW WHO HAS BEEN TO DAVIS ISLANDS, SOUTHWARD TOWARD CHESAPEAKE WHERE THE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT ENDS, ALL ANGLED 45 DEGREES. VERY FEW CURB CUTS THAT LEAD TO A VERY SAFE, NICE FEELING OF THE VILLAGE THAT EVERYONE LOVES. THIS IS A GLARING AND MASSIVE EXCEPTION. YOU CAN SEE THERE, THERE ARE TWO HUGE DRIVE AISLES GOING IN AND OUT OF A PIECE OF CONCRETE THAT SERVE EIGHT PARKING SPACES. WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO IS TO INSTALL AT OUR -- AT THE DEVELOPER'S EXPENSE SEVEN ON-STREET PARKING SPACES IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, ANGLED TO MATCH THE ORIENTATION OF THE PARKING SPACES THAT EXIST IN FRONT OF THAI ISLAND AND DI COFFEE BAR TO THE NORTH. FURTHER SOUTH, THE OG AND THE OLD PHARMACY POST OFFICE TO THE SOUTH. TO MAKE DAVIS ISLAND VILLAGE MATCH WHAT IS ALREADY THERE. WE THINK THIS IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA. SO DOES THE CITY, BECAUSE FOUR YEARS AGO THE CITY REACHED OUT TO THE LANDLORD AND SUGGESTED THIS EXACT SAME THING. WHETHER IT IS VISION ZERO. YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO BE DEEP IN THE LET ATURE AND SCHOLARSHIP OF PEDESTRIAN SAFETY THAT THIS MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE IN ITS CURRENT CONFIGURATION. AN ABERRATION AND LOOKS WEIRD. AND THE GUY IN THE BLACK DENALI WAS IN A HAD YOU ARE RADIO HE TO PARK ON THE SIDEWALK. PRETTY BUSY SIDEWALKS WITH SOME OF THE BUSY RESTAURANTS DE COFFEE BAR AND THAI ISLAND. PEOPLE WALKING TO THEIR CAR HAVE TO WORRY -- PEOPLE DRIVE LARGE CARS IN SOUTH TAMPA, RIGHT OFF THE STREET INTO THIS EIGHT-SPACE PARKING LOT. SO WE ARE TALKING OF SAFETY -- WITH ANY ALCOHOL APPLICATION THAT I WORKED ON OR WITNESSED, WE HAVE TO THINK OF SAFEGUARD. THIS IS A FAMILY RESTAURANT. THIS IS WHAT WORKS HERE. ALEX TOUCHED ON THIS A LITTLE BIT. BEING A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IS REALLY HARD. BEST-CASE SCENARIO. WORKING IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. IT IS AN INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT PLACE TO MAKE A LIVING. AND WHAT WILL WORK HERE AND WHAT NIKKI IS PROPOSING TO DO IS REALLY JUST SPRUCE UP WHAT ALREADY WORKS. MAKE IT A FAMILY-FRIENDLY RESTAURANT. SUPER HIGH-END FINE DINING WOULDN'T WORK HERE. CHICK-FIL-A -- THEY PROBABLY WOULD DO WELL. THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY. WE THINK WHAT WOULD WORK WITH A LUNCH, DINNER, WEEKEND BRUNCH PLACE THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL THERE BUT GOT WIPED OUT BY THE HURRICANE. BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS RESTAURANT, WITH THIS ENTIRE STRIP HERE IS THE UNSAFE PARKING LOT IN THE FRONT. IN TERMS OF THE OTHER COMMITMENT WE ARE PROPOSING THE STANDARD SRX. THE SAME HOURS YOU GET ADMINISTRATIVELY FROM THE STIR WHICH IS 11 P.M. AND THEN YOU CAN STAY OPEN -- THAT IS YOUR LIMIT. NOT A MINUTE MUM. NOT A REQUIREMENT, BUT YOU CAN STAY OPEN UNTIL 1 A.M. AFTER THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WE ARE PRO POLANCOING NO OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE RESTAURANT. COUNCILMAN CARLSON ASKED OF PRIOR RESTAURANTS. NIGHT NOW YOU CAN DO IT UNTIL 11. WE ARE AGE TO ELIMINATE THAT ENTIRELY. NO AMPLIFIED SOUND. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. ALCOHOL SERVICE IS TO INDOORS AND THE PATIO, HOWEVER, WE DEALT WITH THIS ON THE PRIOR ONE. WE ARE PROPOSING TO WET ZONE THAT GREEN AREA. THAT WILL BE THE PARKING LOT. PARKING LOT WILL BE REPLACED WITH TURF, THINK CORN HOLE SETS, THINGS LIKE THAT FOR KIDS TO PLAY. FENCE SO KIDS ARE NOT RUNNING INTO THE STREET. WE HAVE A SITE PLAN NOTE THAT PROHIBITS SERVICE, TABLES AND CLEAR IN THAT OUT FRONT WAITING AREA, BUT, AGAIN, THAT IS WHAT DRIVES -- CAN DRIVE THESE PARKS REQUIREMENTS WHEN WE TALK ABOUT IT WILL BE FULL OF SERVICE. IT IS NOT. WE ARE PROVIDING A BINDING SITE PLAN AN OUTDOOR WAITING A ERA. IT WILL BE SAFE, IT WILL BE CONTROLLED, AND IT IS GOING TO BE A MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT OVER WHAT IS THERE NOW. AND IT IS GOING TO GIVE THIS RESTAURANT THE BEST CHANCE OF SUCCESS. THAT IS THE POWER YOU ALL HAVE. WE THINK A LOT OF ZONING, LAND USE AND THINGS THAT CAN GET HE IS SO HE TEESOTERIC. WHEN YOU IT HE ANY SOMETHING YOU PRESERVE SOMETHING IS THE APPROVAL OF THIS. WE COULD HAVE GONE -- IF THIS WAS IN A DITCH PLACE OR A DIFFERENT SETTING, WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN AN ADMINISTRATIVE AB 1 APPROVAL LIKE RESTAURANTS DO. IT IS THAT PARKING. THAT DANGEROUS PARKING LOT TO THAT MAKES NO SENSE. THERE ARE EIGHT SPACE. WE ARE PROPOSING SEVEN AND THE DEVELOP WILL PAY FOR IT. I THINK THAT IS A VERY GOOD DEAL THAT I RECOMMEND WE TAKE. WITH THAT, NIKKI WANTS TO SAY A FEW CLOSING WORDS BEEN WE TURN TO QUESTIONS AND PUBLIC COMMENT. THANK YOU. >> HEY, GUYS, IT IS ME AGAIN. SO I DON'T KNOW -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: START WHY YOUR NAME. >> NIKKI PATEL, DAVIS ISLAND RESIDENT, AS YOU KNOW THE HURRICANE COMPLETELY WASHED OUT THE BUILDING. FOUR FEET OF WATER INSIDE THIS WHOLE SPACE. SINCE THEN, BUSINESS HAVEN'T BEEN THE SAME SINCE, YOU KNOW. WE SHUT DOWN WITH OUR FAMILY AND DECIDE WHAT TO DO. AND WE SUBMITTED PERMITS TO REBUILD THE SPACE AND BRING EVERYBODY BACK TO THE RESTAURANT. AND LIKE TYLER MENTIONED TO YOU IT, YOU KNOW, THE -- IT IS NOT REALLY MUCH RESTAURANT SPACE FOR KIDS TO, YOU KNOW, BE KIDS WHILE THE PARENTS ARE EATING. SO THAT IS WHY THEMER SUBJECTED -- WHY WE SUGGESTEDED TO TURN IT INTO A GREEN SPACE AND MOVE THE PARKING ON TO THE STREET AT OUR OWN COST. SO WE ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT A MORE KID-FRIENDLY SPACE AGAIN WHERE FAMILIES CAN ENJOY, YOU KNOW, DINNER AND BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AND EVERYTHING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE -- I HAVE SOME CONCERN ABOUT WHAT -- WHAT THE -- ARE YOU DONE? >> YES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO I HAVE SOME CONCERN WHAT YOU HAVE GOT PRESENTED HERE AS FAR AS JUST THIS BLANK ASTROTURF SPACE IN FRONT. I THINK I WILL BE AGROUPABLE IF YOU SAID YOU WOULD PLANT LARGER OAK TREES FOR SHADE WITH SOME KIND OF HE IS THEM, INC. THAT BLEND INTO THE STREETSCAPE IN DEVELOPING ISLAND. AS A BARREN AREA IT IS A PROBLEM, PROBLEMATIC FOR THIS PARTICULAR AREA. I WOULD BE WILLING TO SUPPORT THIS IF YOU WILL WORK WITH OUR NATURAL RESOURCES TO PLANT A FAIRLY -- MAYBE TWO DECENT SIZED TREES TO PROVIDE THAT AESTHETIC AND SHADE, IF YOU HAVE THE CONCEPT OF THE WAITING AREA AND SO MAYBE MR. HUDSON WANTS TO CHIME IN THERE. >> NO, THAT IS UP TO YOU. >> I WOULD HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THAT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK THAT IS CALLING OUT FOR THAT. REALLY. >> I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THAT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OF A MORE INVITING AREA AND BE MORE AESTHETIC TO THE ISLAND. >> I HAVE NO ISSUES WORKING WITH NATURAL RESOURCES TO PUT TREES OUT THERE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND THEN COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>BILL CARLSON: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ONE OF. YOU WHY ARE ALL OTHER BUILDINGSED TO THE ROAD AND WHY THAT IS DESIGNED. >> I AM NOT THE BUILDING OWNER. I AM A TENANT. >>BILL CARLSON: COULD YOU BUILD OUT TO THE ROAD? SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE THE EXISTING SITE PLAN. >> WE ARE NOT BUILDING OUT TO IT -- >>BILL CARLSON: ARE YOU ALLOWED TO? >> NOT WITHOUT COMING BACK AS A PD AND ESTABLISH AN ENTIRELY NEW SETBACK PRECEDENT FOR DAVIS ISLAND WHICH I THINK WILL BE UNPOPULAR. WE ARE TRYING TO PRESERVE BUILDING WALLS TO REDUCE COSTS AS BEST WE CAN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES. I HAVE A QUESTION. SORT OF THE SAME QUESTION THAT WAS LINGERING IN MY HEAD FROM THE LAST ONE. SO IS YOU WANT THIS TO BE A WAITING AREA, BUT YOU DON'T WANT ANY BENCH OR TABLES OR CHAIRS. >> CORRECT. SO BASICALLY IF YOU ARE COMING IN -- YOUR TABLE IS NOT READY, YOU CAN JUST HANG -- BE WEIGHTING OUT THERE WHILE YOUR TABLE GETS READY AND EVERYTHING. >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT ABOUT WHEN GRANDMA COMES. >> HE OUTDOOR SEATING -- EXISTING SEATING. >>. >> THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF MAKING THIS A LESS GREAT DEVELOPMENT. THIS A PER PENT WORLD WE WILL HAVE TABLES AND CHAIRS BUT THAT MEANS OCCUPANCY. OCCUPANCY DESTROYS BUSINESSES BECAUSE OF THE PARKING. 162 SQUARE FEET FOR EVERY -- THAT IS THE ISSUE. >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM NOT TALKING OF TABLE AND CHAIRS. I AM TALKING ABOUT A BENCH. >> BETWEEN US BENCHES WILL HAD BEEN OKAY. TRYING TO MAKE THE COMMITMENT AS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE TO THE NEIGHBORS THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO SERVE PEOPLE HERE. SOMEONE CAN WALK OUTSIDE. IF WE DIDN'T WET ZONE THIS, WE WOULDN'T HAVE OCCUPANCY AND -- SOMEBODY WILL CHECK ON THEIR KID AND HAVE A GLASS OF WINE. WE ARE TRYING TO TREAT THIS THE RIGHT WAY. THAT IS WHY WE DECIDED TO WET ZONE IT, BUT MAKE THE COMMITMENT NO SALES -- NO KIOSKS. CAN'T HAVE A LITTLE BEER CART. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PAUSE FOR A SECOND. I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN HURTAK. WHAT CAN WE PUT ON THE SITE PLAN ALLOW THEM TO PLACE BENCHES AND NOT WET ZONE -- >>LYNN HURTAK: THEY ARE WET ZONING. >> MUCH. >> WITH THE CODE, WE ARE REALLY IN A TOUGH PLACE LIKE THIS. WE ARE TRYING TO COMMIT TO THE NEIGHBORS IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A RAGING OUTDOOR BACANAL IN THIS GREENTURF AREA. TO YOUR POINT, MY MOTHER-IN-LAW USE AS WALKER. SHE WILL NEED TO GET A TABLE QUICKLY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DADDY NEEDS A SEAT. SO -- HOW PROBLEMATIC THANK IS THAT ADDING AN OPPORTUNITY -- >> SING YOU CAN MAKE ADD A LIMIT ON A NUMBER, A BENCH TO ARE TWO, WE DON'T WANT TO VOLUNTEER THIS. WE ARE VOLUNTEERING BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW SENSITIVE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: TRYING TO MAKE IT A MORE OF AN ASSET. >> WE APPRECIATE THAT. BUT WE ARE TRYING TO TAKE -- NIKKI KNOWS WELL SINCE WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER ON THIS. THIS IS -- SOUTH TAMPA CAN BE TOUGH, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF CHANGE. AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT. THIS ISLAND HAS GONE THROUGH A HELL OF A LOT. WHEN YOU ARE ANXIOUS YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO CATASTROPHISE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CAN I HEAR FROM OUR STAFF'S OPINION ON THIS FIRST. >>LaCHONE DOCK: THANK YOU, COUNCIL. LaCHONE DOCK, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION. HE WANT TO -- JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION JUST REGARDING THE WAIVER REQUESTED WITH THIS AB SALES AREA. ONE, THIS RED AREA WILL BE DESIGNATED PAZ THE INDOOR AB SALES AREA. THIS IS THE OUTDOOR AREA, THE AREA IN BLUE. THERE WAS A MENTION IF THIS WAS SHIFTED. THESE AREAS WERE SPECIFIED FOR INDOORS AND OUTDOORS AND CHANGE THE ALCOHOL SALES -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SALES OR CONSUMPTION OR BOTH. >>LaCHONE DOCK: CONSUMPTION ALSO. THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS A RESTAURANT USE FOR BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR ON-PREMISE ONLY. THEY CAN CONSUME ON-PREMISE. NO PACKAGE SALES ALLOWED. SO THE -- NORMALLY WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE IS YOUR INDOOR AREA. YOU USE YOUR RESTAURANT AND CALCULATE YOUR OCCUPANCY. PARK BASED ON THE OCCUPANCY FOR THE DINE DOOR AND OUTDOOR AREA. THIS APPLICANT HAS PUT A NOTE -- WILL PUT A CONDITION ON THE PLAN THAT STATES NO TABLES AND CHAIRS ARE PERMITTED IN THE OUTDOOR AREA. WITH THAT NOTE AND THAT CONDITION, THAT ALLOWS THEM TO NOT INCLUDE THAT OCCUPANCY INTO THE PARKING CALCULATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ARE YOU INTENDING TO SELL LIQUOR OR ALCOHOL IN THE OUTSIDE AREA? IS THERE SUCH A DESIGNATION AS CONSUMPTION BUT NO SALES IN THE AREA. YOU CAN BUY A DRINK IN THE INDOOR AREA AND THE BAR AND WALK OUT -- >> THE CODE DOESN'T HAVE THAT. AS LEGISLATIVE BRANCH OF THE CITY, CONSIDER THAT WHEN YOU ARE REWRITING THE CODE. WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE GAME FOR KIKI'S, THE GREEN AREA THAT IN THE BACK THAT YOU JUST APPROVED, WE HAVE TO PARK ALL THAT. BECAUSE THIS IS IN THE FRONT AND A TRUE WEIGHTING AREA INSTEAD OF A MISCELLANEOUS KID TURF, WE DON'T HAVE TO PARK IT. WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE THE COMMITMENT -- PART OF PROBLEM AND I DISCUSSED IT WITH MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ IS THE NOMENCLATURE. AB SALES AREA. ONE THING WE CAN PUT ON THE REVISION SHEET FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT AS LAWYERS LOVE TO SEA, WHERE IT SAYS "AB SALES AREA," SUBJECT TO NOTE. I DO NOT WANT TO CRETE A INCONSISTENCY WHERE A DEVIOUS SUCCESSOR SAYS IT SAYS SALES. WE WANT TO SAY OUTDOORS, YOU CAN HAVE A DRINK IN THE HAND, THE CODE DIDN'T CONTEMPLATE -- THE CODE SAID THE ONLY REASON TO MAKE A PIECE OF EARTH WET IF YOU WERE SELLING ON IT. AND HERE WE ARE NOT GOING TO SELL ON THAT. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WALK FROM OUTSIDE TO CHECK ON YOUR KID OR WHATEVER. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ, QUESTION, LEGAL QUESTION. SO WITH THAT -- COULD THIS BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THAT -- WITH A NOTE? >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: I THINK IF IF THE APPLICANT AND STAFF CAN WORK TOGETHER ON COMING UP WITH SOMETHING, IT IS POSSIBLE. I THINK THE WAY THE LABELS ARE CURRENTLY, THE EN DOOR SPACE AND THE OUTDOOR SPACE, THE LABELS ARE THE SAME. TO ME THAT IS THE SAME REASON, AND NOTE 6 THAT SPEAKS TO NO FOOD SERVICE IN THE OUTDOOR AREA WHERE ITS KINDS OF HASHED BUT STILL SAYS "SALES AREA." AN INCONSISTENCY OF THE NOTES IN THE SITE PLAN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SOMETHING RESOLVED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND. >> IF I CAN SUBJECT, LABELING "AB CONSUMPTION AREA" OUTSIDE. AGAIN, THE VERNACULAR OF THE CODE. I AM UNDER IT SHALL I AM TELLING YOU ON THE RECORD WE ARE NOT SELLING ALCOHOL OUTSIDE. I AM CONFIDENT THAT MILLS JOHNSON-VELEZ CAN WORK ON SOMETHING THAT REALLY TIGHTLY -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: RESOLVE THAT OUTDOOR IS CONSUMPTION ONLY ADD FOUR OR FIVE BENCHES. NO MORE THAN X NUMBER OF BENCHES ALLOWABLE FOR CONSUMPTION OF SALES. >> THAT IS PART OF THE PATIO, PART OF THIS IS THE PATIO. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: MAYBE PUT A DIFFERENT COLOR. >> MAYBE DO THREE COLORS. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL DEPARTMENT. I THINK THIS AREA -- PART OF THE OUTDOOR AREA WILL BE SALES. BUT THIS LARGER AREA THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE DOING IT A DIFFERENT COLOR SO THAT MAYBE -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE WAITING AREA. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: CONSUMPTION BUT NO SALES. >> AND CLEANER CROSSHATCHING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: NICE ADDITION FOR DAVIS ISLANDS. >> CLEAN UP THE CROSSHATCHING. ENGINEERS DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE BEST CROSSHATCHING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THROW THE ENGINEER UNDER THE BUS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IS THE APPLICANT OKAY WITH ALL OF THAT? >> WITH THE APPLICANT, HE IS OKAY WITH THAT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. VERY GOOD. WE NEED A MOTION TO CLOSE -- >>LYNN HURTAK: PUBLIC COMMENT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PUBLIC COMMENT. SEEMS LIKE WE ALREADY HAD PEOPLE WITH PUBLIC COMMENT BUT A DIFFERENT ISSUE. COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WANT TO SAY THIS, MANY YEARS AGO, ABOUT 16 YEARS AGO, THAT RESTAURANT OPENED UP AS A 200 -- THAT WAS NAME -- >> 220. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: HEINZ THAT RESTAURANT WAS DANUBE STREET AND SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I CAN SAY I WENT ON TO THAT RESTAURANT QUITE WOVEN MY GOOD FRIEND, AGLIANO, BUSTER. I HAVE BEEN THERE. A WONDERFUL PLACE WHEN I WAS THERE. AND IT LOOKED NICE. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I HAVEN'T BEEN IN YEARS SINCE MY WIFE PASSED AWAY, I DON'T GO OUT ANYMORE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO CATCH YOUR OWN FISH -- YOU COULD BRING YOUR OWN FISH AND THEY COOK IT FOR YOU. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WENT WITH THE FISH GUY THAT SOLD THE FISH TO HIM. CAFE PEPE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PUBLIC COMMENT, IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM. ANYBODY NOT SWORN IN? ANYBODY SNEAK IN? EVERYBODY HAS BEEN SWORN IN? VERY GOOD. START WITH YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE THREE. .>>SPEAKER: JAMES TRISHMAN. I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS WAIVER.

I THINK I AM IN AN UNIQUE POSITION BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THIS ISLAND GROW IN THE LAST 20-PLUS YEARS AND OVERJOYED WITH ALL THE WONDERFUL IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE. I HAVE A SPECIFIC PASSION ABOUT THE PARKING, BECAUSE I HAVE -- I AM IN AT THAT POSITION WHERE I VOLUNTEER AT -- AT ALL OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. BEEN IN THE PPTA PRESIDENT AND THE BOOSTER PRESIDENT AND LOOKING A ALL OF THESE KIDS AND GIVES ME A HEART ATTACK WITH THE CARS BACKING OUT. NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. THE PARKING IS A MESS. TOP COME UP WITH A PLAN AND THAT WILL BE SAFER WITH THEIR OWN MONEY PROVIDE ENOUGH SPOTS FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE TO STILL PARK ON THIS WONDERFUL ISLAND WE ALL LIVE IN. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR TAKING A BE EXTRA SPECIAL CARE OF THIS PARKING SITUATION. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME. ALSO THE OUTDOOR SPACE THAT EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT.

JUST A LITTLE NOTE LIKE WE SAID BEFORE. WE HAVE EIGHT-YEAR-OLD TWIN GIRLS THAT GO TO GORRIE ELEMENTARY. WE FREQUENT 220 FOUR TO FIVE TIMES A WEEK. WE ARE THERE ALL THE TIME AND OUR SKIDS ARE THERE ALL TIME. THE PARKING LOT CONFIGURATION IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US AND THE OVERALL EXCITEMENT MUCH GETTING THAT WHOLE BUILDING WHERE OG PIZZA HAS BEEN VACANT FOR FIVE-PLUS YEARS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR OUR COMMUNITY. IT IS JUST A REFRESHING THING TO GET SOME NEW THINGS. I LOVED YOUR IDEA OF THE TREES FOR SHADE, FOR OUR KIDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO WE ARE REALLY, REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY IN OUR VILLAGE. >> WHAT SHE SAID. ESSENTIALLY. WE REALLY LOVE -- AGAIN, 220 IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT IS CURRENTLY OPEN AND EXISTS ON THE ISLAND THAT IS THE CHEERS, LIKE MEGAN HAD MENTIONED, THAT ULTIMATELY, ALL THE OTHER FAMILIES. A MEETING PLACE. YOU RUN INTO YOUR NEIGHBORS, YOUR FRIENDS. AND A GREAT, FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT, BUT THE WAY IT EXISTED WITH THOSE EIGHT PARKING SPOTS FOR WHATEVER REASON THE BUILDING WITH AS DESIGNED AT SOME POINT IN TIME. ONE OF THE GENTLEMAN BACK THERE SAID A 7-ELEVEN YEARS AGO AND WHY IT WAS SET IN LIKE THAT. BUT WHEN WE INITIALLY HEARD THERE WAS OPPOSITION TO ELIMINATING THOSE PARKING SPACES AS THOUGH THEY WERE A BENEFIT TO BE UP AGAINST A BUILDING LIKE THAT. I WAS QUITE ASTONISHED BECAUSE WE ARE THERE VERY FREQUENT AND KIDS OUT FRONT. OTHER FAMILIES' KIDS ARE OUT THERE AND NO PLACE FOR THE CAN ITS TO REALLY BE SAFE AND TO HAVE THE INGRESS AND EGRESS. GOING OVER A SIDEWALK JUST -- YEAH, A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN ULTIMATELY AND REALLY FOR MAXIMIZING ENJOYABILITY OUT OF THE SPACE AND AREA. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: GO JAGUARS. >> YES, GO JAGUARS. I DO ALL THE GORIE GEAR. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE A GRAND DAUGHTER THERE. >> HI, SHAUNA WIGS. DAVIS ISLAND RESIDENT. I LOVE YOUR IDEA ABOUT THE TREES. ONE THING I LIKE ABOUT THIS PROPOSAL IS IT MAKES BOTH STREETS MORE UNIFORM. YOU MOVE THE SPOTS OUT. YOU MAYBE ADD SOME TREES. A SAFE PLACE TO WALK. MY SON IS EIGHT. HE PLAYS BAYSHORE LITTLE LEAGUE. HE AND HIS FRIENDS ARE OUT THERE IN THIS PARKING LOT RUNNING AROUND. IT IS SO DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T STRESS HOW DANGEROUS THIS PARKING SITUATION IS. ANYTHING THAT WE SAID TONIGHT IF WE SOLVE OF THAT PROBLEM WILL BE THE BIGGEST ISSUE FOR ME. I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS CONSIDERING IT. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER. >> DANIELLE SCHUMACHER. LIKE I SAID I LIVED HERE 17 YEARS AND SO MUCH CHANGE GOING ON WITH THE ISLAND. I DIDN'T SAY PREVIOUSLY THAT I HAVE TWO CHILDREN, 14 AND 15. SO I I HAVE GROWN UP WITH SOFTBALL, BASEBALL BAYSHORE ON THE ISLAND. MY DAUGHTER ACTUALLY HAVE BROKEN HER ARM TRIPPING ACROSS THE CURB RECENT IN FRONT OF ISLAND PIZZA. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH THAT FRONT PARKING AREA. ALSO, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SAME FEMA WITH BUILDING. YOU GUYS SAID WHY DON'T THEY BUMP IT OUT, WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE DAMNED IF YOU DO AND DAMNED IF YOU DON'T ON DAVIS ISLAND WITH FEMA AND REGULATIONS OF BUILDING NEW. SO, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THOSE PICTURES, PREVIOUSLY WHEN YOU GUYS PUT UP ALL THE PICTURE, KIND OF EMBARRASSING ON HOW POORLY AND HOW SHABBY EVERYTHING LOOKS. AND I THINK ANYTHING ON IMPROVING DOING THE TREE, NOT NECESSARILY OAK TREES. I LOVE MY OAK TREES, BUT I ALSO HAVE THEM POP UP MY SIDEWALKS BECAUSE I HAVE FOUR OF THEM IN MY FRONT YARD IN DAVIS ISLAND. I THINK THE GREEN SPACE IS IDEA TO THE BEAUTIFICATION OF THIS PROJECT. SO HOPING YOU APPROVE IT. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE. >> HI, JEFF SIEGEL. THE OTHER WAY? >>LYNN HURTAK: THERE YOU GO. >> ALL RIGHT, PERFECT. JEFF SIEGEL. LONG-TIME DAVIS ISLAND RESIDENT BUT THE OPERATING PARTNER OF 220 EAST. I LIVE RIGHT BEHIND THE VILLAGE. HE HEAR THE NO IS. I HEAR ALL THAT. ONE THING THAT I CAN ANSWER BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN THE ROOM IS HOW UNSAFE THAT PARKING LOT IS. EVERY DAY I AM THERE. SO IF YOU SEE WHERE THIS WHITE CAR IS, THAT IS COMPLETELY ILLEGALLY PARKED. SO ITS BLOCKING THE ENTRANCE. SO SOMEONE TURNING RIGHT INTO OUR LOT, THEY CAN'T SEE IF SOMEBODY IS WALKING. I SEE IT EVERY DAY. SOMEBODY WALKING THEIR DOG, YANKING THE DOG BACK. SOMEBODY WALKING WITH THEIR KIDS, PULLING THE KIDS BACK. FRIDAY AND STATE NIGHT, I PUT THE CONES OUT FOR KIDS TO PLAY IN THE PARKING LOT, A NICE SAFE PLACE TO PLAY SO THE KIDS AND NO ONE CAN COME IN AND INJURY THEM. I AM FOR IT. AND SAFETY AND BRINGS SYMMETRICAL AND THE WHOLE VILLAGE WILL LOOK BETTER. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANKLE YOU DON'T HAVE A PICTURE OF MY CAR ILLEGALLY PARKED. >> WELL, IT IS EVERY DAY. EVERY DAY. NOBODY CAN -- THEY HAVE COFFEE AN RUN IN. THAT IS WHAT HAS HAPPEN. IT WILL BE MUCH SAFER. >>BILL CARLSON: A SWORN CONFESSION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YES, SIR. >> AGAIN, D.J. HAMILTON. 620 COLUMBIA DRIVE 15-YEAR RESIDENT IN DAVIS ISLAND AND BUSINESS OWNER IN THE VILLAGE. REALLY I WANT TO GET BEHIND MOVING THESE PARKING SPACES TO THE STREET. I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE BEEN EATING OUTSIDE OF 220 IN THE PATIO AREA, AND JUMPED UP IN HORROR AS SOMEONE IS WHIPPED AROUND IN THE CORNER, INTO THAT LOT AND MISSED A KID BY TEN FEET. IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. NOW AS FAR AS THE VILLAGE BEAUTIFICATION THAT JAMES SPOKES ON EARLIER. WE ARE BEHIND THAT 100% AND GREEN SPACE IN THAT PARKING LOT AREA WILL LOOK BEAUTIFUL FOR THE BEAUTIFICATION OF OUR VILLAGE. WE HOPE YOU SUPPORT IT. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, CHRIS BENTLEY. AS MR. HAMILTON JUST SAID, THE PARKING LOT IS A BIG DEAL FOR ME. AN ASK. WE ARE GIVING ONE SPOT. NO BRAINER OF MOVING THIS PARKING LOT TO ADDRESS ALL THE CONCERNS THAT OTHER RESIDENTS HAVE MADE. WITH REGARD TO THE OTHER SPOT, IF THERE ARE OTHER OPPOSITION WITH REGARDS TO NOISE OR WHAT NOT, THIS IS EVEN FARTHER INTO THE VILLAGE NOW AND NEXT TO OTHER BARS ACROSS THE STREET. WE ARE EVEN NEAR ISLANDS WITHOUT PIZZA AND ANCHOR BAR ALL IN THAT VICINITY. A NO BRAINER KIND OF LIKE THE PREVIOUS REQUEST. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, SIR. >> SCOTT PRADES, 410 EAST DAVIS. I AM SAYING I AM IN FAVOR OF THEM ACTUALLY FIXING THIS PARKING BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR AT THAT WHILE. AS A DAVIS ISLAND CIVIC ASSOCIATION BOARD MEMBER, WE DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS FROM THE BOARD AVENUES STANDPOINT. WE DID HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PREVIOUS ONE, BUT YOU GUYS ALREADY DECIDED THIS. I WANT TO ADDRESS SOMETHING BY THE GROUPS HERE, OLD TIME RESIDENTS DON'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT WE DON'T WANT CHANGE. WE WANT CONTROLLED CHANGE. YOU HAVE WAIVERS FOR A REASON. SO THOSE WAIVERS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY SCRUTINIZED BY THIS GROUP. AND THOSE ARE THE THINGS. THIS I BELIEVE ARE THREE WAIVERS, THE LAST ONE WAS TWO WAIVERS. ENCROACH CLOSER TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, RESIDENTIAL AREAS, WE NEED TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THAT. ONE OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES ON DAVIS ISLAND IS I AM WORKING WITH THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH COORDINATOR. THIS IS A PROBLEM AND I AM GLAD IT IS BEING TAKEN CARE OF. AND OTHER PROBLEMS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND I LOOK TO YOU, ALL OF YOU FINE FOLKS -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SIR, YOU HAVE TO SPEAK TO YOU -- >> I LOOK TO YOU MY FINE PEOPLE AND N AND NEIGHBORS, THEY COME TO THE DAVIS ISLAND ASSOCIATION TO WORK WITH US TO FIND OUT HOW THIS WHOLE PLAN WILL BE MAPPED OUT FOR THE FUTURE. THIS AREA RIGHT HERE IS AN AREA WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN BARS AND RESTAURANTS FOR A LONG TIME. WE DON'T WANT IT TO CREEP INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT TAKE CARE OF THIS PARKING, AND I AM TOTALLY IN FAVOR OF IT. AND US LONG-TIME RESIDENTS ARE NOT ADVERSE TO CHANGE. AND WE WANT TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THE BUSINESSES WHICH ARE MOST OF THE PEOPLE HERE TODAY. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF WHAT YOU DO. I VOLUNTEER AND I MAKE SURE I LEAVE MY NEIGHBORHOOD BETTER THAN I FOUND IT. THANK YOU SOUTHERN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: EXCELLENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YES, SIR. BRING IT HOME. >> GOOD EVENING, AGAIN, ALEX SANTOS, 37 LADOGA. YOU KNOW AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE LITTLE LEAGUE, BUT I ALSO COACH THREE TEAMS. I HAPPEN TO BE AT THE FIELD MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY BETWEEN PRACTICES AND GAMES, WHICH LEADS ME TO 220, MARGARITAS, ISLAND PIZZA A LOT. I WILL SAY ONE THING AS A PARENT AND COACH THAT BRINGS A BUMP OF KIDS HERE. THIS PARK LOG THE IS THE ONLY SPACE ON THE ACTUAL AVENUE AND STRIP WHERE THE KIDS CAN HANG OUT. THE ONLY AREA ON THE STRIP WHERE THE PARKING SPACES DON'T MATCH THE REST OF DOWNTOWN DAVIS ISLAND. SOME BY BRINGING THE PARKING SPACES OUTSIDE, ISOLATING THAT AREA, YOU ARE ACTUALLY CREATING THE LARGEST SAFE PLACE IN DOWNTOWN DAVIS ISLANDS OF THE VILLAGES OF FOR THE KIDS AND FAMILY. THERE ARE ISSUES WITH TRAFFIC AND PROTECTING THE KIDS. NOT ONLY KIDS BUT DOGS, PETS AND EVERYONE ELSE. FROM A COMMON ESSENTIALS PERSPECTIVE. I DON'T KNOW THE LOGISTICS OF PLANNING AND ZONING. THE FACT THAT THERE IS ALCOHOL ALLOWED ON ONE SIDE AND PARTIAL AREA OF THE OTHER SIDE. IT MAKES SENSE TO ALLOW ALCOHOL TO BE SOLD THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE BUILDING INSIDE. FOR THE WHOLE UNIT IN MY OPINION. I AM OKAY WITH THAT. BUT IN TERMS OF THE PARKING AND THE OVERALL PROJECT LIKE THE IDEA AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT. STAFF, DO WE HAVE A MEETING OF THE MINDS. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ. LEGAL DEPARTMENT. YES, THANK YOU FOR ASKING. HE WANTED TO PUT THIS BACK UP SO EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM INCLUDING COUNCIL -- ESPECIALLY COUNCIL, IS CLEAR WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. SO THIS AREA IN PINK, THIS LITTLE SQUARE DOWN HERE OF WHAT IS NOW BLUE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL STAY BLUE, BUT THESE TWO AREAS THAT ARE HASHED MARKED HERE ARE GOING TO BE THE AB SALES AND SERVICE AREA. THIS AREA KEN THE SITE PLAN COMES WITH REVISIONS A DIFFERENT COLOR AND CONSUMPTION IN THIS AREA AND NO SALES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PERFECT. >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: I AND THE APPLICANT AND STAFF WILL LOOK AT NOTE 6 ON THE SITE PLAN TO ACCURATELY DEPICK WHAT WILL BE SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN. AND THEN FINALLY, BECAUSE THIS AREA IS GOING TO BE AN AB SALES AREA, SALES AND SERVICE AREA, IT WILL NEED TO BE COUNTED TOWARD THE REQUIRED PARKING. IT WILL BE 36-PLUS WHATEVER THE ADDITIONAL OCCUPANCY. EITHER WAY COUNCIL IS BEING ASKED TO REDUCE WHATEVER THAT NUMBER IS DOWN TO ZERO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AND WORK WITH NATURAL RESOURCES TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO WITH THE TREES. >>LYNN HURTAK: IF YOU CAN LEAVE THAT THERE. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WANT TO ASK ONE QUESTION. NO OUTSIDE AMPLIFIED MUSIC. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK THAT WAS ON THERE. >> IT IS CURRENTLY ALLOWED BUT ELIMINATING IT FOR THE WHOLE PROPERTY. ON THE NATURAL RESOURCES POOH HE IS. I KNOW WE LIVE IN A LOW TRUST SOCIETY, I WOULD ASK THAT WE MAYBE NOT REGULATE THAT. IT COULD BE SHADE STRUCTURES. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE. I AM HAPPY TO PUT A NOTE -- AND I KNOW THE APPLICANT IS HAPPY TO PUT A NOTE TO COORDINATE WITH, BUT I DON'T THINK WE CAN YET COMMIT TO WHERE TREE ALSO GO ON HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE GOT, YOU KNOW, ROOTING ISSUES. WE WANT TO MAKE THIS PLACE VERY INLIGHTING AND MAY BE A SHADE STRUCTURE, MIGHT NOT BE A TREE. IF YOU ALL INSIST, WE ARE NOT GOING TO LOOK A GIFT HORSE IN A MOUTH, BUT I WANT TO BE CAREFUL TO NOT OVERCOMMIT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK IT IS REASONABLEABLE TO CONSULT WITH NATURAL RESOURCES. IN THEY STAYED THAT A TREE WOULD NOT LIVE HERE FOR SOME PARTICULAR REASON. >> MIGHT BE MORE ALIGNED HERE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IF THERE IS VIABILITY. VIABILITY, I WOULD THINK THAT HAD THE NATURAL -- >> WE ARE HAPPY TO CONSULT. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A SITE PLAN NOTE THAT COMMITS US TO A NUMBER OF TREES. WE WILL TALK TO NATURAL RESOURCES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THOUGHT TWO WAS REASONABLE. >>. >> THERE ARE TWO PLANTERS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CRAPPY PARKING LOT TREES. >> THAT IS NOT THEIR NAME BUT I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO. [LAUGHTER] >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A QUESTION NOW THAT I LOOKED AT THIS CAREFULLY. FOR US IT LOOKS PURPLE. I GUESS THAT IS BLUE. THAT WILL BE FENCED IN, YOU ARE SAY SAYING? >> YES. >>LYNN HURTAK: SO THEN I'M GOING TO PUT ON MY BIKE HELMET AND TELL YOU THAT GETTING A BIKE INSIDE A FENCED GATED AREA IS A GIANT PAIN. I DON'T KNOW THAT IS A GREAT PLACE FOR A BEAK RACK, BUT AS THE VILLAGE CONSIDERS THEIR -- A NEW PLAN FOR THAT AREA, MAYBE IT MEET BETTER TO LOOK AT A SPACE THAT -- THAT THAT WOULD WORK FOR MULTIPLE BUSINESSES ALONG THAT AREA TO KIND OF COALESCE YOUR BIKE PARKING IN ONE SPACE. BUT I AM SAYING FROM A BIKE -- YOU ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE A HUNK OF METAL THERE, BECAUSE CYCLISTS WON'T BE ABLE TO USE THAT. YOU CAN'T GET IN THE GATE. AND YOU DON'T WANT YOUR BIKE AROUND A BUNCH OF KIDS. BIKES ARE EXPENSIVE. >> UNDERSTOOD. >>LYNN HURTAK: AT BEST, PEOPLE WILL LOCK THE BEAKS TO THE FENCE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU MAY WANT TO REVISIT THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: OVERALL -- I HEARD PEOPLE TALKING OF A DAVIS ISLAND BUSINESS PLAN. I DO BELIEVE THAT WILL BE BETTER SERVED IF THE DAVIS ISLAND BILLS PLAN HAS MORE COLLATED -- >> LIKE A CENTRALIZE $. >> BIKE PARKING LIKE FOUR DIFFERENT SPOTS, ONE ON EACH BLOCK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I APPRECIATE IT. I AM THE CYCLE ADVOCATE, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IS A GOOD PLACE. >> A HELPFUL PERSPECTIVE. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP ON THE TREE THING. >> WE ARE HAPPY TO ADOPT A NOTE TO CONSULT WITH NATURAL RESOURCES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE VIABILITY. I WON'T BE UNREASONABLE -- >> I WILL BE HERE AT SECOND READING AND I WILL EXPLAIN WHAT WE DID AND DIDN'T DO AND WHAT CONVERSATIONS WE HAD. I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT DRAWING TREES ON THE MAP AND RICKY IS NOT HERE AND I NEED RICKY FOR THAT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I GET THAT. THAT PLACE HAS BEEN PAVED OVER FOR YEARS. GOD KNOW WHAT IS UNDERNEATH IT. >> THESE ARE PROPOSED TO BE LIVE OAKS FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT ARE THEY CALLED SPRING OAKS -- >> I REALLY NEED RICKY FOR THAT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: LIVE OAKS.
