Michelle Boone

05:11:24PM Good afternoon. I should have a powerpoint. Michelle Boone, Community and Housing Development.

Alan Clendenin

05:11:37PM CCTV, waiting for the powerpoint.

Michelle Boone

05:11:41PM Thank you so much. Again, Michelle Boone, Housing and Community Development. I'm here tonight to talk about our annual action plan. This is a public hearing. It is one of the first of two public hearings on our annual action plan. Here we go. So today ,we are going to talk about the background, the purpose of the action plan, the funding resources that are available, and the action plan. Priority needs that will be served through the funding of projects in the action plan. Allocations for projects, calendar and timeline for the process and citizen participation process as well. The annual action plan is a summary of our federal grant dollars, our CDBG emergency solutions, housing with persons with AIDS, and our home investment partnership program. This is part of our five-year consolidated plan. So this will be the fifth year of that five-year consolidated strategic plan. Again, CDBG funds projects that provide development, decent housing, living public service projects, decent suitable living environment -- excuse me -- economic opportunities for low to moderate income at or below 80% AMI. Our emergency solutions grant program have funding for homeless or those at risk of homelessness. Our HOPWA program is a program that supports housing opportunities for persons with AIDS. It provides funding for agencies with housing assistance and supportive services. We serve a three-county area. We previously served a four-county area, but HUD has allocated funds directly to the City of St. Petersburg, and they will allocate funds for pinellas county, so we are now only responsible for pasco, Hillsborough, and hernando counties for our HOPWA funds. For affordable housing and new construction, rehab for single family and multifamily projects. Again, our priority needs that were determined at our consolidated plan. New construction, rehabilitation, multifamily, single-family housing, supportive housing operations through our HOPWA programs and our homeless support programs. Public service assistance. We are maximized for our CDBG dollars at 15% allocated public service agencies that provide services for child care, health care, job training or workforce development, education programs, elderly, special needs and homeless services. Public facilities and infrastructure. For buildings that support projects that support the public service for those same types of programs. And this is our allocation for this upcoming year for our federal funds. We did just note our SHIP funds, which are state-allocated funds for our total grant budget of $11,445,497. So for our calendar timeline, we did release a request for proposals or request for actions for all three federal dollars. Our esg funds are provided to Tampa, Hillsborough Homeless Initiative, and they allocate them from there. We are in the finalizing of the recommendations for the funding. So today, we are required to hold two public hearings. This is the first. We will open our 30-day public comment period today. It will running through June, July 25 of 2026. Our action plan is submitted to HUD by August 2026. Citizen participation program. 30-day public comment period and two public hearings. And any information is available on the web site as well as in our office. We can accept comments through the telephone, e-mail, or in-person at the hanna city center. If there are any questions, I will be happy to answer them.

Alan Clendenin

05:16:04PM Any questions? No? Motion to close the public hearing -- or do we -- just for the record.

05:16:11PM Anybody in the public wish to speak to this 05:16:13pm item? Hearing none. Motion by Council Member Maniscalco. Seconded from council member Miranda. Second public hearing at 501 p.m. July 23, 2026 at 315 e. Kennedy, Tampa, Florida 33602. Thank you. Item number two.

Emily Phelan

05:16:28PM Emily Phelan, Planning Commission staff. Item number 2 is file no. Ta/cpa 25-20, and this one came before you previously where I gave an extended presentation on April 23. I'm more than happy to go through the entire presentation or an abbreviated one. Whatever council's pleasure is.

Alan Clendenin

05:17:02PM Abbreviated, please.

Emily Phelan

05:17:04PM As I said, file no. Ta/cpa 25-20. It is located at 1135 north 46th street and associated parcels. This is publicly initiated. It is a regular scale amendment and 62.8 Acres and request to go from light industrial, heavy industrial, public-semi public to urban mixed use-60 and community mixed use-35. And just as a reminder, the general location is located here in the university Planning district, terrace park neighborhood, and the Tampa green tech corridor. This is an aerial of the subject site, which is outlined in pink. And previous plan amendment that you have heard before was ta-cpa 25-19, which was the mosi site itself. To the north, the University of South Florida. To the west is some multifamily. To the south are industrial uses and a park. And to the west are some commercial use along fowler that transition into residential uses moving further south. Just as a refresher on this site, this is looking east on north 46th street toward the subject site. This is the day care located on the subject site. This is looking west on Fowler Avenue. This is looking west on north 50th street at the adjacent residential uses. This is northeast at the intersection of East Fowler Avenue and north 50th street. This is the adopted future land use map. Again, the subject site is outlined here. Represented with the public-semi-public, light industria,l and heavy industrial designations. This is the proposed future land use map. Majority of the subject site is the urban mixed use 60 designation and community mixed use 35 is this southwest corner. Under the existing future land use, residential is not permitted in the light industrial or the heavy industrial designations. Under the semi-public, maximum is not defined. Light and heavy industrial, the subject site can be considered for over 3.6 Million square feet of nonresidential uses. Under the proposed umu-60 and cmu-35 designations, the subject site can be considered for 3400 dwelling units or 8.2 Million square feet of residential or nonresidential uses. This amendment would remove any industrial uses potential on-site. This did go out to our reviewing agencies. EPC made a comment that commercial and industrial uses may be incompatible with the proposed flue. The Planning Commission found it consistent and promote development pattern in the citizen form strategy. And with that, the Planning Commission recommends that the proposed amendment be found consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Tampa comprehensive plan. That concludes my presentation, if you have any questions.

Alan Clendenin

05:20:10PM Council have any questions? Hearing none. Anybody in the public who wishes to speak -- applicant, sorry. Otherwise I can go through quick.

05:20:29PM Quick is good.

05:20:32PM We have seen this presentation a lot of times.

05:20:36PM Start with your name. Near University of South Florida where mosi is right now. I am not going to go through this because emily just went through this slide with you. The brief recap of the history of the area four generations ago, a great idea for this to be industrial. A generation ago, not a good idea to stay industrial. Today, not a good idea to be industrial. So that's why we are here and why the plan you transmitted to the state says somebody should make this something but industrial. A mixed use area would be great, and that is what we plan to do with the area. What it does is creates a series of future transit-ready stops Along Fowler Avenue with the Fowler Avenue vision plan in your staff report, and the area is still an economic engine, something that would rely on industrial that never happened to kind of a destination area that will support future research and development jobs. This is why it is an economic engine. You will see those pink squares where you would go to any of the regional destinations, and it is coming out of the area. This area is within walking distance of all of those pink squares and within biking distance of Moffitt Cancer Center, busch gardens, and adventure island. With the principles and university Planning opportunities. Outcomes, as we stated earlier, on a walkable transformation of the area with vacant industrial area surrounding mosi to a walkable mixed use district providing economic opportunity to support the Mosi Museum itself. And thank you. We welcome your consideration for this amendment.

05:22:27PM Thank you, any questions. Council member Viera.

Luis Viera

05:22:33PM Mr. Chairman, no, thank you. I have been excited for these changes. Been on City Council for nine and a half to ten years it has been going on. USF and fowler area corridor. A lot of different efforts, you know, organizations, different things that try to affect change on it. And I am really glad to see this particular piece of land. I grew up in Temple Terrace about ten minutes away from there. So I spent a lot of my childhood years at mosi, but this is important. It is on us as well as our friends in the county commission and the state to make sure that with developments like this, that the North Tampa area stays one of the few welcoming areas in the City Of Tampa where working-class people can still -- and middle-class people can afford to buy houses and have homes, etc. So we have to make sure -- again, this is wonderful. This is great. Going to be a rising tide. Lift boats in the area.

Lynn Hurtak

05:23:25PM But we need to make sure, again, as I used to always say with working people of Tampa. This is great, and I am glad to support this, and thank you for your work.

Alan Clendenin

05:23:39PM Thank you. Anyone in the public wish to speak to this item?

Guido Maniscalco

Alan Clendenin

05:23:44PM Council Member Viera, since this is in your district. All in favor of closing. Say aye. I am trying to get us out here by 7:00. [Laughter] Council Member Viera --

Luis Viera

05:23:59PM I will say amen to that, sir. I move an ordinance presented for first reading amending the Tampa future element and map for 11315 north 46th street; 4801, 4615, 4901 East Fowler Ave; 11302 north 50th street and folio numbers 140139.0000 And 140510.0000 And from light industrial, heavy industrial and public, semi- public to urban mixed use-60 and Community Mixed Use-35 providing for repeal of all ordinance and severability and providing an effective date.

Alan Clendenin

05:24:43PM A motion from Council Member Viera. Seconded from Council Member Maniscalco. All in favor, say aye. Opposed? The ayes have it.

Clerk

05:24:50PM Second reading and adoption July 16, 2026 at 10 a.m. At old city hall, located at 315 e. Kennedy, third floor, Tampa, Florida 33602. Alan Clendenin: thank you, item number four.

Meaghan McCarthy

05:25:16PM Good evening, council. Meagan McCarthy, Planning Commission staff, file no. Ta/cpa 26-02 located at East Second Avenue. Privately initiated. Small scale. .39 Acres for a land use designation.

Alan Clendenin

05:25:35PM Hold on a second. CCTV, can you get this on the council monitors. Designation. This amendment is located within the central Planning district, historic ybor, local Ybor City district, as well as the coastal high hazard area. This is an aerial of the subject site showing the site outlined in yellow. Surrounding area includes industrial uses directly to the east and south, as well as further East Along Adamo Drive. To the north and west are scattered commercial uses as well as residential. Further north of East Second Avenue. While the subject site is not within the Ybor City center, those activities lie to the north and south of the site respectively. Starting with our subject site photos, there are is looking directly at the subject site from north 17th street. This is looking at industrial uses on the east side of the subject site with the subject site behind the camera. This is looking at commercial uses on the west side of the subject site with the subject site behind the camera as well. This is looking south of the subject site at the selmon expressway overpass. This is looking West Along Adamo Drive. This is looking east along -- and this is lastly looking East Along Adamo Drive. Here, we referenced a historic map taken from 26-06 before it was approved to change the area outlined in pink from heavy industrial to the urban mixed use-60 that you will see on the next slide. This gives some perspective on the transition from industrial to mixed use designations over the last 20 years. As a result of multiple plan amendments in the surrounding area 06-26 and 07-03. And plan amendment 22-08 which approved multiple parcels to umu-60, including one directly north of our subject site. The adopted future land use map with the subject site outlined directly to the east and southeast are light and heavy industrial mixed use categories including umu-65 cmu-35, GMU 24, and cc-35 comprise rest of the area to the north, east, south, and west. Teal line of the coastal high hazard area. This portion is in that area and over 75% within. This is the proposed future land use map showing the proposed urban mixed use-60 designation. Under the adopted future land use, the site is not eligible for residential development. Currently, the site can be considered for 25,482 square feet of industrial uses. Under the proposed umu-60 designation site may be considered for 33 residential development units and 55,211 square feet of residential or nonresidential uses. This amendment will bring the amendment for residential uses and allow residential and nonresidential square footage and remove the consideration of industrial uses. The application was sent to our partner agencies, and there were no objections to the request. The City of Tampa Planning Department found it comparable and compatible with the surrounding area and noticed the potential conflict between land development code requirements and industrial development of this site. This amendment also went before the Barrio Latino Commission this past Tuesday and was recommended for approval. The Planning Commission considered industrial preservation policies as the site is current here under the light industrial flue designation and policies related to the coastal high hazard and is within the chha since the percentage within is below 50%. As noted as our staff report, due to minimum requirements of development in the IG zoning category, the parcel is unlikely to allow for development of a true employment generating industrial use due to this factor as well as the documented trend toward mixed use, staff found that the subject site is favorable for the requested increase in density and removal of the consideration of the industrial uses on the site. The proposed amendment is recommended to be found consistent with the policies and objectives of the comprehensive plan, including policy related to compatibility and surrounding development pattern, promotion of densities, supported of mixed use and transit and encouraging adequate housing supply and adequate development as this area is noted to be in transition to a more mixed-use development pattern west of north 1st street. Planning Commission does recommend that the proposed map amendment be found consistent, and this concludes my presentation. And I am available for any questions.

05:30:43PM Do you have any questions? Hearing none. Applicant? Alex Schaler, 400 North Ashley Drive. I will keep this one very short. I have a couplr other ones to come back before you. Meg set this up very well. We came before you all or council with a comprehensive plan amendment for a large portion of land. We split it up into two sections. We have this portion of land that is north of Adamo Drive and what is known as ybor harbor. At the time, we were in process of acquiring this small strip of what looks to be right-of-way, but it is not, it is privately owned land. We did not have that in control at that time and was not included in this application. Going back through our files we wanted to get in cleaned up and extend the umu-60 on the northern portion just to extend that down to capture this remaining trip as adamo. It is currently uses as parking on Adamo Drive. There is a broader concern of loss industrial land, and that is understood. Given the site, nothing we could reasonably accommodate, given the footprint, less than half an acre. Located in the transit emphasis corridor and has trended to mixed-use development in the past. The Planning Commission board found this application consistent, and the BLC recommended for approval earlier this week as well. And that's all I have. But I am happy to answer questions.

05:32:34PM Any questions? Hearing none. Anyone from the public wish to speak on this item? Hearing none, motion to close. Motion from Council Member Miranda. Seconded from Council Member Viera. All in favor, say aye. Opposed. Council Member Carlson, you want to read this one?

Bill Carlson

05:32:51PM Move item number 4. File no. Ta/cpa 26-02, ordinance being presented for first reading consideration, ordinance amending the Tampa comprehensive plan, future land use element, future land use map located at 10701 East Second Avenue from light industrial LI to urban mixed use-60, umu-60 applying for repeal of all conflicts, providing for severability and providing an effective date. All in favor, say aye. Opposed. Ayes have it.

Clerk

05:33:25PM Second reading and adoption July 16, 2026 at 10 a.m. At old city hall located at 315 e. Kennedy, third floor, Tampa, Florida 33602.

Alan Clendenin

05:33:39PM Thank you, item number five.

05:33:55PM It will come up. You can start.

Ross Samons

05:34:06PM Ross Samons, land development, and the applicant ybor, representative is Gardener Brewer Hudson. South of 7th avenue, east of 23rd street and west 7th street. This application was filed February 9, 2026. Right-of-way is unapproved. Right-of-way was created by subdivision plat. Existing right-of-way is approximately 3500 square feet. The reason for the request -- the requested alley vacations are necessary to facilitate the comprehensive unified redevelopment and the surrounding blocks that will substantially improve public safety, infrastructure and efficiency and long-term land use compatibility of eliminating underutilized right-of-way that no longer serve as essential public function. And this is related to the proposed rezoning rez 26-28. This is a proposed vacating request. Alleyway in yellow. Applicant's property is in red. City Of Tampa sheet showing block 19 here. CSX is here. 7th is here. The plat of east ybor, which the alley was dedicated. Here is an image of the general location of the alley located east of 23rd street. And the general location along the pole line -- where the general location of alley looking west from 24th street. Staff has no objections to this vacating request. Easement reservations are required by TECO, Spectrum, Frontier and wastewater. What I also would like to point out is it was heard by the Barrio Latino Commission, and they did recommend the approval of this vacating. Special conditions. Natural resources complied with chapter 27 tree preservation and site design for any improvements placed adjacent to trees in a vacated area. That concludes my presentation. And I am available you have any questions.

Alan Clendenin

05:36:33PM Any questions? Hearing none. Applicant. We did so well last time, let's keep it on the roll.

05:36:46PM You never heard me say that, ever. Nobody has ever heard me say that. As ross mentioned, this right-of-way vacating is in service of our pd-a rezoning, which you will hear a couple of items from now, but I did want to give you some context and foreshadowing some of these larger maps and important to see where this alley is located. Singularily, we are proposing to vacate in conjunction with the pd-a which is highlighted in yellow with the red stars. You can see it is pretty central -- got it, okay. Pretty central to the larger development. This is in another graphic. It is outlined in yellow there with the other kind of type a and type b streets shown as well. So we feel there is inherent justification for this. The prime reason is that given where it is located -- I will come back up here. Given where it is located central to the development and a full block, being able to use that for structured parking is pretty critical for development, and I know we have our larger opinions about parking, but we are redeveloping a very large district like this. This is 55 different parcels. We don't want to have parking on individual lots. One of the whole points we wanted to do a pd-a for centralized parking, and this site is very well-suited for that. BLC did hear this and recommended approval for same reason. We showed them the overall vision. And they actually had us add a condition to the alley vacating that we did -- we materialized this on the pd-a site plan. They asked that we put a plaque on the parking garage, which I thought was very unique which -- I haven't heard that before. Put a plaque that would pay homage to the fact that the alley did exist. While we won't be carrying the alley in the future in terms of the operation, it will be memorialized there where it existed in history, which I thought was great. Staff didn't have any objections and neither reviewing departments to the request. All is all I have, but I am happy to answer any questions.

05:38:54PM Any questions? Hearing none. Anyone in the public wish to speak to this item? Motion to close by Council Member Maniscalco. Second by council member Viera. Council Member Young.

Naya Young

05:39:05PM Okay, vac-26-09 already vacating, closing or abandoning north of CSX railroad, south of 7th avenue, east of 23rd street and west of 24th street of west ybor subdivision in Ybor City, Hillsborough County, Florida, more fully described section 2 subject to certain covenants, conditions and restrictions as more particularly set forth herein provide for enforcement and penalty for violations, for conflicts and providing for severability and providing an effective date.

Alan Clendenin

05:39:49PM Motion from Councilwoman Young. Seconded from council member Viera. All in favor, say aye. Opposed.

Clerk

05:39:57PM Second reading and adoption will be held on July 16, 2026 at 10 a.m. At old city hall located at 315 e. Kennedy, third floor, Tampa, Florida 33602.

Alan Clendenin

05:40:12PM Next public hearings -- if you were here for the rest of the business, you need to be sworn in. If you are going to be speaking. Stand and be sworn in by clerk. [Swearing in]

05:40:26PM Very good. Item number SIX.

Leo Debardeleben

05:40:28PM Good evening, council and chairman, Leo Debardeleben, Land Development Coordination. Agenda item number SIX is file no. Ab2-26-08. A special use request for the property 2106 West Morrison Avenue. Request for alcoholic beverage sales for a small venue classification for beer, wine and liquor, consumption on-premises only. Aerial map is on the screen. The subject property is outlined in red. This property is located at the northeast corner of South Eleta Street and West Morrison Avenue just east of south howard within central Tampa Planning district and along the mixed use corridor. Property is zoned CI, commercial intensive and currently 05:41:15pm operates as the tiny tap tavern. You can see a mixture of PD uses along mixed use corridor here. This is the site plan presented by the applicant. The applicant is requesting approval to add liquor sales to an established -- establishment that already currently operates as a bar/lounge with beer and wine approval. Approval of this request will allow beer, wine, and liquor sales for on-premise consumption only. Customer access is provided on South Eleta Street, and parking is located on the north part of the site and from West Morrison Avenue. The total alcoholic beverage sales area that is proposed or existing already is 1174 square feet, and it is all located indoors. Running through photos real quick. This is the north elevation from West Morrison Avenue. Facing west on West Morrison Avenue Toward Howard Avenue. Facing west on West Morrison Avenue, subject site is on the right here. This is along the CSX railway. Subject property is on the left behind us. This is on west -- sorry, South Eleta Street. Subject property is on our left, and the morrison apartment complex is to our right. This is the west elevation of the tiny tap. This is the south elevation from South Eleta Street. Commercial uses on the right behind the site. And the mixed use residential is multifamily uses on the -- on west side of the site. Development Review and Compliance Staff reviewed the application and find the request inconsistent with the applicable City Of Tampa land development regulations due to the requested waivers. Minor site plan modifications are required between first and second reading if council should move to approve. I am available for any questions.

Alan Clendenin

05:43:19PM Councilwoman Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak

05:43:22PM So you had a picture with picnic tables outside.

Ab area is only inside the heart of the ab area is only 05

05:43:29PM 43:31pm indoors.

Lynn Hurtak

05:43:34PM Double checking. My name is Colin Rice with the law firm of Lundy. West cass. I have been sworn on behalf of the applicant. I have a couple of pictures for you. I appreciate leo's introduction. To be clear, we are here for the world-famous tiny tap tavern. Established in 1934, tonight we are asking for your help to ensure that this funky little establishment can persist for decades into the future. So, again, the request is, you know, no package sales, consumption on-premises only. Same ab area already approved but just to add liquor, to bring it up to current consumer taste and marketing conditions. So, again, to orient you, right off the selmon expressway and the railroad right off of south howard. Zooming in, you can see our strangely shaped lot on morrison and eleta. This is the site plan submitted in 1952. You will be relieved to know they have hot and cold water. So current site plan, again, same footprint. The area around it has grown up a lot, but it is really staying as is. We held a neighborhood meeting. Great conversations with the neighbors. I am not aware of any opposition. Concerns were you are not going to change this, right? He is committed to keeping the weird old brown tables. He has a lot of respect with this institution over the years and faithful to keeping that. So it is a change of use. Not a change of use, just change in juice. We have consistent finding from transportation. Leo added a note to restrict outdoor amplified sound. We are completely fine with that. Only waiver because there is an ab establishment 215 -- not 50 feet away. So with that, I will be happy to answer any questions. We request your approval tonight.

Alan Clendenin

05:45:54PM Councilwoman Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak

05:45:56PM So I did have a question. Like I said, I saw the outdoor area. Is there a reason you don't want to go ahead and just wet zone a little bit of the outside? Highly nonconforming site, and once you change the use or increase intensity, it is a much bigger party, and we are just not there.

05:46:16PM Understandable.

Alan Clendenin

05:46:18PM Any questions? Hearing none. Anyone from the public want to speak? A motion from Council Member Miranda. Seconded from Council Member Maniscalco. All in favor, say aye. Opposed --

Bill Carlson

05:46:29PM Can I say one thing? Do we need to reopen?

Lynn Hurtak

05:46:33PM Do you have a question?

Alan Clendenin

05:46:35PM Motion to reopen.

Charlie Miranda

05:46:36PM So moved.

Guido Maniscalco

05:46:39PM Second.

Alan Clendenin

05:46:40PM All in favor, say aye. Opposed. Council Member Carlson.

Bill Carlson

05:46:43PM So you put the -- between first and second reading, what we are approving now will include the what you just said about the -- outdoor amplified sound that it will prohibit that, right, on-site plan? I will let leo answers that.

05:47:04PM Shows single-family homes.

Leo Debardeleben

05:47:09PM Leo Debardeleben, Land Development Coordination. I have a supplemental revision sheet.

Bill Carlson

05:47:16PM I want to make sure it is included. And Marty, we can't -- or legal, we can't make it contingent for it staying the tiny tap.

Alan Clendenin

05:47:26PM Motion to close again.

Luis Viera

05:47:27PM So moved.

Charlie Miranda

05:47:29PM Second.

Alan Clendenin

05:47:31PM All in favor, say aye. Opposed. Ayes have it. Thank you very much, Councilwoman Hurtak.

05:47:38PM Hey -- she wants out by 7:00 too.

Lynn Hurtak

05:47:44PM I do want to say that I am really happy to be reading this one because I think there is nothing better than a dive bar, a small neighborhood space, and we are -- those are disappearing in the City Of Tampa. So I am very thrilled they were able to keep this. And I believe Miss Johnson-Velez told me this is a 74-year-old alcohol permit?

05:48:12PM Well, Either Way, very -- yeah. So this is -- this is a historic use if I ever heard of one. File number ab 2-26-08, ordinance being presented for first reading consideration, ordinance approving a special use permit su-2 for alcoholic beverage sales, small venue, consumption on premise only and making lawful the sale of beverages regardless of alcoholic content beer, wine, and liquor on that certain lot, plot or tract of land located at 2105 West Morrison Avenue, Tampa, Florida, as more particularly described in section providing all ordinances are repealed. Ordinance 1463-a providing including the revision sheet.

Alan Clendenin

05:49:06PM Motion from Councilwoman Hurtak. Seconded from council member Maniscalco. Council member Carlson.

Bill Carlson

05:49:11PM Just following what Councilwoman Hurtak said, for the -- for the community, this is not just a neighborhood bar. This is I think one of the most important pubs, bars in Tampa. It is one of the most important cultural destinations in Tampa. I had visitors from all over the country and around the world, and I can take them to plant hall, they can go to bern's, everything, they go to tiny tap, and they love it. Everybody love it is Exactly The Way it is. You got the feedback from the community to keep it. Please, if you guys -- if you owners have any issues trying to save this. This is a very important cultural icon in our entire city. So I hope we can keep it like that.

Alan Clendenin

05:49:52PM I have a motion and a second. All in favor, say aye. Opposed. Ayes have it.

Clerk

05:49:56PM Second reading and adoption held on July 16, 2026 at 10 a.m. At old city hall, located at 315 e. Kennedy, third floor, Tampa, Florida 3062.

Alan Clendenin

05:50:09PM Let's keep it rolling.

Leo Debardeleben

05:50:11PM Leo Debardeleben, Land Development Coordination. Agenda item number seven is file no. Ab2-26-09. A special use 2 request for 1281 Ray Charles Boulevard. Request is for alcoholic beverage sales for a large venue for beer, wine, and liquor consumption on premises, package sales -- sorry, and package sales, off-premise consumption. Aerial map is on screen. The subject property is outlined in red. Property is located on North Nebraska Avenue and Ray Charles Boulevard here. This is within the encore development within the central Tampa district along a mixed use corridor and central park urban village. Property is zoned PD, planned development and under construction as part of the encore development. This is site plan that was presented by the applicant. It will be a neighborhood market and cafe occupying a portion of the ground floor mixed use within the development. Approval for retail package sales of beer, wine and liquor, as well as on-premise consumption within the cafe component of the business. Customer access is provided from Ray Charles Boulevard and North Nebraska Avenue. Nebraska and ray charles here. The total alcoholic beverage sales area, 23,783 square feet consisting on 23,200 square feet of indoor and 761 feet of outdoor area. Running through some pictures real quick. This is the northeast elevation of the subject site. The cafe and retail portion is occupying the first floor here. This is the east elevation from North Nebraska Avenue. This is the -- the east elevation, the southern portion of that same building. Facing south on north Nebraska. Facing north on north Nebraska. This is the corner of north Nebraska and East Maryland Avenue. What we are just looking at is directly behind us. This is facing north on north Nebraska toward East Scott Street here at the light. This is facing south on Blanche Armwood Street. The subject site is on our left. Facing south on blanche armwood and ray charles. Facing east. This will be the west elevation. And this is facing west. Development Review and Compliance Staff has reviewed the application and find the request consistent with the applicable City Of Tampa land development regulations. Minor site plan modifications be required between first and second reading if council should move to approve this. And I am available for any questions.

Lynn Hurtak

05:53:07PM Can you put the site plan back on and show me where the outdoor space is.

Leo Debardeleben

05:53:16PM Absolutely. So is the outdoor area is identified as parcel 3. Just a small patio.

Lynn Hurtak

05:53:34PM Okay. But parcel two is the main --

Leo Debardeleben

05:53:37PM That will be the market.

Lynn Hurtak

05:53:40PM So, do we have anything about outdoor amplified noise?

Leo Debardeleben

05:53:52PM I believe there is a note on the site plan. Between first and second reading is the revision we ask for. No amplified sound is allowed.

Lynn Hurtak

05:54:02PM What are the hours of operation? Because 24,000 square feet is a lot. And we really just want to make sure that what we are doing is -- that we are not enabling something else down the line.

Leo Debardeleben

05:54:16PM The proposed hours are consistent with chapter 14.

Lynn Hurtak

05:54:23PM Yeah. I am going to have to ask the applicant about that. Thank you.

Leo Debardeleben

05:54:29PM No problem.

Alan Clendenin

05:54:30PM Cue applicant. Miller, director of development and zoning for the applicant. Leio did a good job in orientation. Pretty excited about this coming forward. All of Encore, all the lots are sold. I was originally the planner that developed and got the PD zoning approved in 2008 for this development to move forward. We have been trying to get a grocery store in the location for quite some time. Finally have been successful with the current developer, and that's really what the anchor of this request is. Here is the location. Here is Encore development in general. Putting site plan back up that was shown to you previously. We have a very small outdoor space, 671 square feet. Only access directly from inside the grocery store. As far as the hours go, I did confirm with the applicant that the grocery store is going to operate from about 7 a.m. To 9 p.m. Seven days a week. The liquor store will be 11:00 to 9:00, sundays through Wednesday and then go to 10:00. So this is not a large venue bar operation. The large venue is for sip and stroll, just like you have in publix and other parts -- whole foods and that is the intent of the request. Small liquor store companion with the grocery store is unique. About 22,000 square feet total. Will be glad to answer any questions you have.

05:56:20PM Councilwoman Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak

05:56:21PM Just because we are really trying to protect the possibilities because this alcohol zoning runs with the land. Will They be willing to do 6 a.m. To midnight? Sort of widening what They might need giving a little bit of parameters if indeed something were to happen and this might change use. Would that be something amenable? Before I came, I asked them of the intended hours of operation which is what I indicated appear much tighter --

05:56:57PM I thought wider would be better in case it ended up becoming something different. That seems reasonable. Exactly. I am pretty sure They are not going to be comfortable with it, because They were ready to commit to these hours.

05:57:16PM How about between first and second reading? Confirmation from the applicant.

05:57:25PM How do we best do that?

Alan Clendenin

05:57:27PM Staff, if the applicant is not ready to confirm that at this point, how do we --

Leo Debardeleben

05:57:37PM Between first and second reading, we can add a condition, if they do agree with it, that will be one of the changes.

Lynn Hurtak

05:57:45PM Okay.

LaChone Dock

05:57:46PM Council, LaChone Dock, Land Development Coordination. I want to state on the Record And Place on the record, is council okay if the -- if he speaks with his client, and he does not want to change those hours? What would be the direction of council at that point?

Lynn Hurtak

05:58:11PM That's why I am asking, because I am not comfortable with chapter 14. I am not -- because that goes to 3 a.m. And, again, we just -- like, that doesn't need that for a grocery store, but I am willing -- I think it is fine to widen it in case it becomes a full restaurant or something like that, but 3 a.m. Is really hard for a 24,000-square-foot piece --

05:58:42PM Sure, but in 20 years, you just never know. So, again, I think we are all trying to be more cognizant as we develop that the rest of the neighbors will have a good neighbor. And, again, I mean, you just don't know.

Alan Clendenin

05:58:57PM The sense is between first and second reading, speak with the applicant and take your chances. Right now I would confirm immediately, but I know they had stated these were the hours of operation. So if you -- if it is the pleasure, I think the commitment -- that we would commit to these hours of operations and confirm between first and second reading regarding the 6 a.m. To --

Lynn Hurtak

05:59:26PM Midnight.

05:59:29PM I don't even know. What time does a Grocery Store open, 8 or 7?

Grocery Store opens at 7

05:59:34PM 00.

Lynn Hurtak

05:59:38PM 7 a.m. To midnight, how is that?

Alan Clendenin

05:59:47PM We will move forward with that. Hearing from council, but we will move forward with first reading tonight. Okay, very good.

Lynn Hurtak

05:59:53PM Thank you very much.

Alan Clendenin

05:59:54PM Anyone in the public who wishes to speak to this item? Council member Carlson, do you have something to say?

Bill Carlson

06:00:01PM I want to ask him. Mr. Smith, is this -- I was just looking up to reconfirm, But This Dr. Kay's property or adjacent to it.

06:00:11PM Dr. Kay's property or adjacent to it.

06:00:15PM I just want to thank the family for following through on their promises when they came through to us before a couple of years ago. They talked of putting a grocery store in. So thank you for them for following through on that. I am sure they are watching tonight. This a mixed-use building, residential, Medical Office and retail on the bottom. So it is a good deal.

Alan Clendenin

06:00:37PM Great building. Thank you. Anyone in the public wish to speak to this item?

Charlie Miranda

06:00:44PM Move to close.

Guido Maniscalco

06:00:46PM Second.

Alan Clendenin

06:00:47PM All in favor, say aye. Opposed. Ayes have it. Council member Maniscalco.

Guido Maniscalco

06:00:52PM Ordinance presented for first reading approving a special use permit su-2 for alcoholic beverage sales, large venue consumption, on-premise package sales, off-premise consumption making lawful the sale of beer, wine, and liquor on 1281 ray charles, boulevard, Tampa, Florida, more particularly described in section 2 all ordinances or parts of ordinance in conflict are repealed provide an effective date with the revision sheet and then the hours that we stated, which I believe were 7 a.m. To midnight.

Alan Clendenin

06:01:30PM Are we putting in the motion the hours without consent from the --

Lynn Hurtak

06:01:37PM He said yes --

Alan Clendenin

06:01:40PM He said we check with the owners.

Lynn Hurtak

06:01:42PM He said yes, put it in and we check and if They said no, then They would have to come for a first reading again.

Alan Clendenin

06:01:49PM Very good. A motion from Council Member Maniscalco. Seconded from Council Member Miranda. All in favor, say aye. Opposed. Ayes have it.

Clerk

06:01:55PM Second reading and adoption held July 16, 2026 at old city hall located 315 e. Kennedy, third floor, Tampa, Florida 33602.

Alan Clendenin

06:02:08PM Thank you. Next -- have a good night.

Leo Debardeleben

06:02:11PM Good evening, council. Leo Debardeleben, Land Development Coordination. I have a supplemental revision sheet for this one as well. Agenda item number 8 is ab 2 26-14. Special use for 1301 east 4th avenue, 1306 east 4th avenue, 130 east 2nd avenue and 1315 east 5th avenue. Request for alcoholic beverage sales with a large venue classification for beer, wine and liquor, consumption on-premises and package sales off-premise consumption. On your screen is an aerial depiction of the subject site. Those four addresses that I just read you are outlined in red. The subject property is part of the gasworx development and consistency of blocks e-1, e-2 and e-3. Property located on the east side of north avenida republica de Cuba. This property is located -- central Tampa Planning district along the mixed-use corridor and Ybor City urban village. Property is zoned planned development alternative, pd-a under rezoning case rez 21-114. This is the site plan that was submitted by the applicant. What is shown here is block e-1 here, block e-2 here, and block e-3. Applicant is requesting a master alcoholic beverage sales approval for those three blocks on gasworx developed. Approval for future tenants to conduct alcoholic beverage sales under a single ab sales approval subject to the conditions and limitations shown on site plan. Approved uses within the development include residential retail sales, office, business professional and Medical Office, bar, lounge, restaurant, recreational facilities, hotel, motel, personal services, and micro brewery uses. Approved uses within the development include -- I am sorry, site plan establishes maximum alcoholic beverage sales areas. Operating conditions, reporting requirements, and security measures for future tenants. Total alcoholic beverage sales area proposed is 181,783 square feet, consisting of 142,174 square feet of indoor sales area and 39,609 square feet of outdoor sales area. There are 795 parking spaces that are required and the applicant is providing 993. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited -- sorry, is permitted until 10 p.m. Except for bar-lounge uses where outdoor amplified sound is prohibited. I have some pictures. This is facing east on east 4th avenue and north 14th street. Block e-1 on the right and block e-2 on the left. Construction is Already Under Way with elevations of blocks e-2 and e-3 on 4th avenue. This is facing east on 4th avenue. Our view was directly behind us on previous picture. This is an east elevation of the building on block e-3. This is facing west on East Third Avenue and 14th street. Block two on the right. Block e-3 on the left. This is facing -- sorry, facing west on east 3rd avenue and north 14th street. Private paseo that was approved through the PD or the pd-a. This is facing east on East Third Avenue and east 14th. Commercial uses and surrounding blocks. Here are the commercial uses. This is facing south on East Fifth Avenue and north 14th street. This is 14th street here, and this is block e-1. Development Coordination Staff reviewed the application and find the request inconsistent with applicable City Of Tampa land development regulations due to the requested waiver for distance separation along -- from another alcoholic beverage establishment. Transportation Staff was consistent. Site plan modifications including revisions identified in the supplemental revision sheet required between first and second reading. The supplemental -- limiting alcohol beverage sales hours for all ab sales location no later than 1 a.m. And restricting aps uses to no more than two locations as agreed with discussions with members of the public. And I am available for any questions.

Alan Clendenin

06:07:18PM Councilwoman Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak

06:07:19PM Can you please put the site plan back up?

Leo Debardeleben

06:07:29PM Show me where the 39,000 square feet of outdoor space is.

06:07:35PM There is some outdoor area here and this paseo, which is here.

Lynn Hurtak

06:07:41PM So what you are saying, these outdoor areas, the amplified noise will have to stop at 10 p.m.

Leo Debardeleben

06:07:49PM If it is a bar/lounge use. That is what they --

Lynn Hurtak

06:07:55PM You said bar/lounge use noise prohibited and 10 p.m. For any amplified noise. Will that include the paseo? I can ask the applicant too if I am get too far in the weeds. And the other thing I just wanted to see, because this is an absolute insane amount of square footage of alcohol, can you show me exactly where -- I couldn't tell by the site plan where -- what is being wet zoned. Is it every single inch? It is the total footprint. Most of these, I believe -- and the applicant can speak to that. Most of this is on the ground floor commercial portions of the building. And then -- so if they have a tenant that goes in with the restaurant use, then those -- then that total square footage will be deducted from that.

06:08:50PM I will ask the applicant because I am very uncomfortable with this.

Alan Clendenin

06:08:55PM Council member Miranda, do you have something to say? [Inaudible]

06:09:08PM Okay, applicant? I have Damian here with Keller here as well. All both part of the gasworx project. Leo set this. These are legally under construction. They are flying out of the ground. E-1, and 3. E stands for the larger part of the pd-a. CSX rail tracks to the north and 14th street to the east. You can't see it in this photo because of the buildings. But Channelside Drive is bounding these on west. And Second Avenue to the south. This might give you a little bit of color in terms of the site plan. So I can kind of walk through this in a little bit more detail. Indoor, I have shaded in the light pink and outdoor in blue. In terms what exactly are wet zoning, yes, e-1 is a multifamily building. Entire ground floor is retail mixed uses there. So, yes, we are wet zoning this grounds floor that wraps around the podium parking garage that you can see in the middle. E-2, this building here on the left. This is going to be a market hall building. So think kind of similar to Armature Works. Not existing warehouse that we are using so a large bulk of the wet zoning area as well. That will be indoors. As you can see, there are some outdoor sales area associated with that to, associated to west there. This building here closest to 14th street is going to be the office. We are wetting the ground floor of that. And portion of the fifth floor will be a roof top. You can kinds of see in the photo -- I don't know if you see my mouse, but the outdoor rooftop area portion of the fifth floor contributing to the outdoor footage as well. As leo mentioned, the Paseo is a private, vehicular, and nonpedestrian activated. Building e-3 is a multifamily building as well with an activated ground plane wetting this area around the parking garage. This next slide -- yes, I do want to note that we understand this is a lot of square footage, completely understood. This is the maximum and in discussions with the Retail Leasing Team, we -- we are not confident whatsoever that all of this area is going to end up wet. Some of this will be retail. It won't be like wedding dress shops where they have glasses of wine available. Not all have this and is going to be wet, but in terms of -- Damian, you can speak to this little bit better than I can, selecting specific tenants and moving around for different spaces, we didn't want to get to the situation where we are coming to you all for every single box that we have. We thought if we get the ground floor wet, we are kind of allowed to move tenants as need be into different spaces. These are the list of permitted uses that we are including in the wet zoning. Again, this is pretty wide breadth of uses. General commercial uses that we can see not only within the development but more specifically on the ground floor. Again, this is heavily retail and restaurant uses. But we wanted to cover our bases and have personal services, commercial rec, stuff like that as well. This was mentioned but, yes, we are committed to prohibiting sales past 1 a.m. For all blocks and all uses and then amplified sound, yes, that is prohibited past 10 p.m. Indoor and outdoor -- actually this is outdoor amplified sound, not indoor. Not past 10 p.m. And implementing that for the bar/lounge use outdoor.

06:13:01PM Council member Carlson.

Bill Carlson

06:13:05PM Your team usually comes up with very creative legal ideas. To the point of all this space. Is there any solution that says within a given amount of space, certain number of square feet will be allocated that could float depending on where it is? Any kind of flexible agreement so it is not just blanket? Wet zoning legal description. Like, for example, in st. Pete, you can go and file for the address and the same day have a wet zoning approved without a legal description. We have to have a legal description tied to every single wet square foot. Makes it tough to kind of have floating space. But heard you on that one. I am going to have Damian come up and speak a little bit.

Alan Clendenin

06:13:51PM Another question, Councilwoman Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak

06:13:55PM Can you go back a couple of slides. A, with the office roof deck, is that going to follow the 10 p.m. Amplified noise or can we simply not have no amplified noise on roof deck? As a bar/lounge or going to be a restaurant. That is my thought. If they are serving food, if that qualifies as a restaurant, they would be allowed to do it until 10 p.m. And not be prohibited.

06:14:30PM But, again, it could be a restaurant today, but in 20 years, it is a night club.

06:14:37PM Amplified until 10 p.m. And bothering the people who live next door who have small children. Like, again, I wish we did not have to do this, but it running with the land, and ybor specifically is an area that we are trying to walk away from the -- night club edification which brings me to the market hall building and that is the one I am most concerned about. For the rooftop we are covered in that sense we are not having outdoor amplified sound so I think we are good there.

06:15:15PM No bar/lounge on the roof deck. I guess that is my question, how do we -- how are you going to each individual space and saying, this is going to be the bar/lounge, this is going to be this and that. Right now you are telling me not a bar/lounge but how do we know that because it is not on the site plan.

Alan Clendenin

06:15:37PM If it is a bar/lounge, on-site plan says no amplified.

Lynn Hurtak

06:15:45PM Site plan does not say it is a restaurant. This is ab sales uses. It could be any of these mixes.

Alan Clendenin

06:15:52PM But if it is a bar/lounge will --

Lynn Hurtak

06:15:58PM I know, but -- potential tenants to pin down which use goes where. But I understand your concern about, you know -- an I think that between readings. I don't want to speak for Damian, I think -- if there are concerns of certain spaces being blanket bar/lounge. We can add a square footage cap to make you more comfortable.

06:16:25PM 31,6900 square feet alcohol permit until 1 a.m., You just don't know. And again, this is what this community keeps coming over us to over and over about. I am just going to ask these questions, because it is going to be on me.

Alan Clendenin

06:16:44PM Council member Carlson.

Bill Carlson

06:16:47PM Just to add to that. There is -- big movement in ybor including dear clients to turn ybor back into a community. And the neighborhoods are bought in. Most of the businesses are bought in. And we have been trying to limit a new ab license because a bunch of them were given out in the '90s. So is there -- can you -- keep in mind neighborhoods are watching and other property owners watch. What is the best case for why if we are limiting in other parts of ybor, why this area should have ab but also this much ab? Because I think this is a bit different because Gasworx in general is relatively insular, right. I am not saying there are not residential properties near here. Proximate residential. This is ybor, but I think what we were trying to do and Damian will speak to this more, in terms of it being a master operator of this, there is a little bit more control. To your points, Councilwoman Hurtak, they are a master operator now, but in 20 years, are they still going to be a master operator? I can tell that you the answer is yes, but, again, a level of trust there. So I think in terms of this development, it is very similar to something like midtown. Midtown came in and did something very similar where they wet all the grounds floors and had chapter 14 hours. That was a different time, and I understand that things have changed, but I think that with these -- with these levers that we are able to pull in terms of no outdoor amplified sound past 10 and closing at 1 a.m. We are committed to ensuring this is not a large gathering of bars. But I understand it runnings with the land. What I will ask that Damian finish our presentation and then I can answer more questions. Kepler. Want to give an overview of the buildings. I think it is important to recognize that, you know, we have residents. We actually have 1300 units that are built in Gasworx. We completed 800 of them. And that is the La Union and Stevedore. We are currently building the other 500 that are opening within these three buildings. So this is the e-1, which is the Louisa. 140 units over 18,000 square feet of ground floor retail and has the 520 parking spots. This is barrio market, which is the 28,000-square-foot market that we are talked about earlier. This our office, which is 100,000 square foot, fully leased office building with 15,000 square feet of ground floor retail and that rooftop. And Olivet, 375 residential units with over 28,000 square feet of retail. Where these units being built, I think it is -- it is important to recognize that it is important -- we have to ensure that we are respecting our residents that are over the retail. We want to make sure we are controlling what happens on a ground level. And we feel by doing this, by having this master wet zoning, we can easily -- we can better control our tenants, whether it is from noise, liquor sales. There could be some bad apples, and we can actually control their leases, whether we are giving them a warning for every noise and liquor violations or drink violations, we can financially impact them, and we can even evict them. Last thing we want to do is to have individual tenants really pull their own wet zoning and really all they are caring about is their sales. So we have mechanism to really be able to control what we are doing and how we can control our tenants. I think it is also important to recognize, we are a long-term landowner. We don't expect to sell these units. And it is our obligation once again to take care of our patron, make sure they are safe, our residents, and really take care of our assets. Important for us to take care of this environment as well. So -- and ultimately, we feel that we have the -- biggest strength to control what -- what happens within these retail outlets. As for the office rooftop, we do have a ten-year lease on that floor level. That is an office tenant that will be using tenant -- their area, That Open Terrace for their own use. But to your point, ten Years Down Road, if it is a Lounge, we absolutely follow city ordinance. If it is a Lounge for after ten years, we would follow the city's ordinances.

Alan Clendenin

06:21:54PM Are you finished with your presentation? Absolutely. Any questions?

06:22:04PM Councilwoman Young. This.

Naya Young

06:22:06PM Walk me through one more time e-1, 2 and 3, which is which?

06:22:19PM All residential. Retail which is part of the wet zoning.

06:22:25PM Okay. Over 15,000 square feet of retail and the Roof Terrace.

06:22:40PM No residential at all. Just office and retail? And barrio market, that is the market, the 28,000-square-foot market.

06:22:51PM That is E-3? E-2 Office and E-2 Market. And Olivet, which is E-3 which is 376 units over 28,000 square feet of retail. And then I think it is also important to mention La Union and Stevedore, which is part of our gasworx communities.

06:23:16PM What's -- so E-1 is Louisa. E-2 is the office and barrio market.

06:23:26PM E-3 is -- I think it is important for say that we are creating a neighborhood, not an entertainment district. I think by having -- the way we set up the design and the architecture with you all have our residents over the wet zoning, and retail is important to recognize. We need to make sure we are controlling that. Last thing we want is complaints from our residents.

Alan Clendenin

06:23:49PM Council member Miranda.

Charlie Miranda

06:23:54PM In a way, it resembles something like midtown.

06:23:59PM Just with a spanish flavor. And it is something unique. Something different. And like one of the council members Hurtak spoke, the problem not with you or with us is that -- I like it. I really enjoy this because I see a difference of people coming back to Ybor City to live, not that they are not there now, but you have a vicinity that you are close to everything that you need within your own area. You can play. You can have a drink. You can go to the marketplace. You can go to -- if you need something at Tampa again Ram Innovation Center. Buildings you own on both side. Nick Nuccio on the other side that walks and drives into all this parking and on east side of town, downtown. And it is a concept that is really laid out very nice. You have a park. You have things for your -- however, you have -- you are your owner destiny holder of what happens to yourself. Because your buildings are all mixed use. Not one thing and the other. Yes, you have alcohol just about everywhere. And in a way, that's positive. And in a way, that is dangerous. Because alcohol stays with the land forever. And than wasn't a council script. It was from tallahassee that they did I don't know how many years ago. These are the things that are there that could be dangerous. But The Way you Spoke The Way you handled it is fine. Some restriction on the possibilities that might happen. And the way life is, if it might happen, it could happen. And what I am looking here is something that is really, really unique. It is -- it is like a miniature downtown or may be equal to downtown and what you have the vinik family and the CRA has built all around the east side of downtown and what you have there is another part of a city. And this looks like another part of the city somewhere else, just in close proximity to that. Some you don't no longer see banana dock, and you no longer see the old coca-cola building that was there. You don't see all drugs, prostitution everything that you had there 40 years ago back in the '90s Started That Way and look at it now. Took individuals with some foresight and a lot of gambling to get where it is at that it would work. When you gamble, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. But it is what it is. And I have to applaud you, because this is something different that -- and I know the problem is the alcohol, but the layout you have it is -- it is like another city come in with a different look and the way it looks now, Loser is really yourself. If you don't control your alcohol in the building that you are in, yes, it is forever, but the Loser is you. Because you are taking it upon yourself the risk that that alcohol license performs to whatever standard is required by law. And there is where problem comes. You back winner, and you are gambling that you won't be a Loser. And that's how it is in my mind.

Alan Clendenin

06:27:13PM Thank you. Councilwoman Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak

06:27:15PM I think council member Miranda, you know, made a good point. 40 years ago, ybor was empty. 40 years before that, it was very similar for this. By then, people left and turned into a nightclub district to survive and still people living above the storefronts. This is why I am concerned. Because this is what this neighborhood tried so very hard to get out of and by providing so much alcohol square footage, I am very uncomfortable without having a little more solid knowledge. And, again, the thing that is most concerning for me is the barrio market. It is a huge piece of land. I mean, that is 28,000 square feet of alcohol permitted until 1 a.m. Their could easily become a dance hall. Could become things. I just -- again, I am concerned about perhaps in 40 years. You cannot guarantee you are going to own this forever. You can not guarantee this is going to remain. I mean --

Alan Clendenin

06:28:34PM Be this is q & a time.

Lynn Hurtak

06:28:37PM Yes, but -- so my question is, what are the three aps licenses. What are those? Those are package sales for beer, wine, and liquor. So I know there was some concern floating around from the neighborhood -- they weren't overly concerned, but told us with other developments that come online in ybor, they were hesitant for liquor stores. If anything, we have limited our spaces of having at the most two specific licenses for package sales.

06:29:11PM I have a question for staff and legal -- probably legal, but might be staff.

Alan Clendenin

06:29:17PM Are you done with your presentation? Projects that have had great success, great safety. Amateur Works is one. Midtown -- midtown, Water Street. I mean, you are seeing as long as there is good security and safety, we are providing all that. There is -- once again, we are able to police this better because we are controlling the master wet zoning and alcohol licenses rather than the individual tenants. I think that is a great strength. We can financially burden these tenants, but if they are not following the rules and impacting the risk of us losing that license. So it is really important for us that we are able to manage this properly. And to fullest.

Lynn Hurtak

06:30:10PM Thank you. I appreciate that, but literally this is what we are fighting right now with armature works, an alcohol and noise problem. So that is what we are dealing with right now literally. We were supposed to talk about that in a workshop today. My question is for staff. And my question is, is there a way when it comes to bar an lounge, that you can prohibit a night club? Or is that just not a possibility?

Leo Debardeleben

06:30:48PM Leo Debardeleben, Land Development Coordination. City Council can condition the site plan and the -- however you choose.

Lynn Hurtak

06:30:56PM Okay. So -- applicant, would you be willing to put that for the barrio marketplace on the site plan that it will never be a night club. If you can condition that, that's my ask. Question. Not to use armature works -- we are envisioning something like armature works, like restaurants and small bars. I was trying to ask LaChone what the zoning use would be. Ab use will be large venue. Zoning use I am confident wouldn't be bar/lounge and trying to figure out what is that use, a place of assembly with restaurants and retails. That is what we were trying to figure out.

06:31:45PM Which is why it would be hard to put never a nightclub on-site plan. I will be okay to stay that will never be a single-use bar/lounge for the full square footage --

06:32:04PM That is fine. For the 28,000, if I can get that as the northwest of no bar -- no bar/lounge overall --

06:32:14PM Single use. I love that language. No single use bar/lounge. I am much less concerned. Still a little concerned about rooftop, but knowing that amplified noise must stop at 10 p.m., Implore comfortable with that.

Alan Clendenin

06:32:31PM Council member Carlson.

Bill Carlson

06:32:34PM To those points also. To other ab licenses or actions we have limited the hours instead of -- instead of 1 a.m. Or 3 a.m., We have limited them to 10 p.m., For example, partly some of their housing so we wouldn't effect the people living there. But if were less, then it wouldn't -- also wouldn't been a late night bar. Any possibility of that? Want the lights to be out at 10 p.m. We want this to be a district people to have places to go when they get off work. That 10 p.m. Is a bit too early. Even restaurants per a regular ab 1 can stay open to 1 a.m. On weekends. We felt that 1 a.m. Was reasonable, but if council has different opinions, we are happy to hear them.

Alan Clendenin

06:33:34PM For clarification. I wanted to make sure I heard that right, maybe I didn't. You said if there is a bar/lounge, no outdoor amplified music, period.

06:33:47PM A bar and lounge. Luke Rooftop, declared a bar and lounge not any outdoor music. Barrio market because that is basically outdoors, they can't have amplified music.

Lynn Hurtak

06:34:02PM But still --

Alan Clendenin

06:34:04PM Never amplified music in the outside area

06:34:12PM We won't end in a situation with the problematic bar like armature works since it is outside. Restricting outside --

Bill Carlson

06:34:31PM Issues with the towers at channelside. Without Naming The Place underneath. Not sound inside, but outside and what they were doing outside.

Alan Clendenin

06:34:43PM That was a bar.

Bill Carlson

06:34:45PM But still, concerns what happens around that and having too much concentration -- the reason why the distance requirements are there so spread it out a little bit. Big concentrations of people drunk leaving a place, especially late at night.

Alan Clendenin

06:35:04PM I feel seen. I don't know if this was mentioned. I think leo mentioned it briefly, as part of monitoring -- we will have security around annual monitoring. There will be ways for you in the city to enforce compliance with any kind of issues.

06:35:22PM One more.

Charlie Miranda

06:35:23PM I am not comparing this to anything else, but I remember many years ago at the once great beautiful building in miami beach called the "fountainbleau hotel," a place called "tropicala." Sure, it was a hotel, but they had shows there for about 400 seats -- maybe 500 seats inside of the hotel. And That Place was sold out every single night and every three or four months they would change shows. They had showgirls, bands, and music. Two guys -- one guy still living here in Tampa. His name is Alex Cora. Maritza's husband that owned the building on Cargo Road and osborne. And he was a sound man for that show. And he lives in Tampa. And the other one was Gabby Gabriel, who was the lead singer. And he will do something for someone I know real well late October and the first week in November. What they did there was just -- you couldn't get Into The Place unless you had reservations SIX months in advance. That is how it was. It was beautiful. No music outside. It was all inside. And I am not saying this will be something like that, it won't. But I am saying Tampa is ready for something like that at some big hotel or something. Because if you don't do it, somebody will do tourism that you won't, just like the convention center. If we don't expand, it we will be dead. But this is zoning matter. I am saying what it is. These are things you have to look at when you sit on this side of the desk or that side of desk or the chair. What do you do with success? You cannot stay still. Because if you do, someone else will take success over.

Alan Clendenin

06:37:05PM Let's move to public comment first.

Lynn Hurtak

06:37:08PM I have a question.

Alan Clendenin

06:37:09PM We have been questioning this to death. Let's leave it at this.

Lynn Hurtak

06:37:13PM But I have a -- so my question is for all this square footage, what is the number of spaces, like, actual retail, restaurant, whatever. What are number of individual spaces that you are looking for other than that barrio market which is, you know --

06:37:32PM Under 30. So do you have a number of bar/lounges that you are going to allow? Are -- so it is also interesting because the smaller spaces -- so if you have less than 250 seats, can you not pool the special restaurant? So there are limitations on that. That is what we have running into in past, even if we have a restaurant, maybe someone is doing 51% food but too small to qualify. So that is another reason why we running into this before and let's put it in the same -- because we think a lot these boxes are going to be too small to qualify.

06:38:19PM I am just really worried of bar/lounge.

06:38:25PM I mean --

Alan Clendenin

06:38:27PM Let's hear from the Public. Anyone in the Public who wishes to speak to this item?

06:38:32PM Come on. Start with your name. Local residents just blocks from this development. Just real quick. I know you guys want to get done by 7:00, this is going to remind me a lot of Water Street. You have the opportunity to have restaurants that have outdoor space, which is something we really struggle with in ybor, and I would like to see more of them and excited to have them here. An opportunity to have events. Water Street at Christmas, they have pop-up markets and outdoor areas where you can get beverages and buy merchandise and things like that. I like the flexibility to have a real engaging area for the community to participate in. And the fact that bar and lounge cannot have outdoor amplified music means I am not even concerned of that patio ever getting loud. The upstairs patio area. So anyway, I am really excited about this. I hope you do approve it because I want them to have the flexibility. I think it is highly unlikely you will get 15 bars lined up in a row there. Who -- they can't keep enough people in the bars on 7th avenue as it is anyway. I think economy is Going To Drive a variety in these spaces just naturally. That is my thought. Thank you very much.

06:39:53PM Thank you very much. Anyone else in the public who wishes to speak on this item? Come on up. I understand the concerns. Charlie, I love you brought up the tropicana. My parents used to take me agreeing up. A thing growing up and a good memory for me too. Councilwoman Hurtak, I totally understand your concerns, but I want to take advantage. I want to take advantage of the thousands of people who want to find a place to enjoy and to be able to go out in Tampa and have nights out. And I think that we have to think not only of the residents -- I get it ,and I understand that there is one perspective of a type of resident that you are concerned about. I grew up new Carrollwood. There are people that live in Carrollwood. It is -- I love Carrollwood so as much, you know that Is My Place; however, I think it would be a huge disservice to the City Of Tampa to make every neighborhood like Carrollwood. And ybor should not be like Carrollwood. I think we have to think differently. An I think we have to take advantage of opportunity that we have, this beautiful development that is going on that brings a lot to the table like we need more pedestrian walkways, right. It is a Great Place to go. You are free of cars. You don't have to worry of anything. You can flow freely. We don't -- I think for years, we didn't have rooftop bars in Tampa, which I never understood because being in boston for ten years and coming back here and living through Winters, you know, like, November would come around. Why can't we sit around anywhere and go to red Mesa In St. Pete to sit outside and have a nice meal and couldn't do that in Tampa. For a long time, we couldn't have food trucks in Tampa, and I thought that was weird and culture changed, and we were behind the ball on that one. I think on this one, we have to -- I really think about the direction that we want to allow Tampa to go. An I think that there is a need for vibrancy. And I think that vibrancy drives economies and drives cities forward. If you ever think of the cities that are relevant that we talk about are the cities that are vibrant. In the national -- it has been nashville, and it has been austin. It has been places that are vibrant, and we need spaces in Tampa that are vibrant. Please take that into consideration when you do this. I think we can tweak things if there is concerns later on, but I think to try to clamp everything down would be -- would not be the right move moving forward.

06:42:33PM Thank you very much. Anyone else would like to speak this item? Hearing none. Can I get a motion to close -- sorry, rebuttal. We are okay with midnight if that eases some of your concerns, Council Member Carlson. Instead of 1 a.m. Not, then --

06:42:56PM I don't know if we have -- I don't know if there is a consensus on council of the 1 a.m.

06:43:02PM I mean, I haven't spoken about this issue. Let me speak -- and then I will give you a chance of rebuttal after I speak. I think -- I think what we are missing here. This is a planned development by one developer that is developing this area. And all these -- for the most part with a couple of exceptions, all residents are buying into a known factor. They know what they are getting into. So you are not going into an existing neighborhood and changing uses. This is a brand-new neighborhood. This is -- this is a place being created for a very specific intent. Not going to be any surprises here. Not like I owned a house in a residential neighborhood, and all of a sudden, they build a bar next to me. This is very different. A planned development. It is also -- I mean, I think we all understand how transformational it is. And you look at the examples that they brought up. You know, we see the success of Water Street. We see -- and I just -- I can imagine a vibrant neighborhood of having the diversity of -- you know, again, as someone who is controlling a planned development, that is a magic mix of someone who is the leasing agent of that finding different pieces of that puzzle to make it all work. I mean, that's part of the magic that they have to do. If they end up -- if they overloaded it with any type of business not going to be successful. Anybody in retail has to create a magic mix. And I think that's what you look for, again, because this is a planned development, one developer coming in and making this whole thing happen, I think that gives us a lot -- at least it gives me a lot of assurance that this is going to be one of the more successful neighborhoods in the City Of Tampa. Anybody else? Councilwoman Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak

6:44:54PM It's true that it is a planned development, but if something were to happen to the owners, they could piecemeal sell this off. You can't tell me it's just a planned development. Like, that'S Not The Way it works. Again, i'm not worried about current owners. I mean, they have shown that they are going to do -- that they have done good things, but, you know, so did armature works and now literally this is a giant problem we have. It's not even the music. It's the bass. That is the biggest problem, that literally folks can hear it inside their houses. That's my concern. I'm less concerned as long as we have the no single use bar lounge for the barrio market. I'm also not concerned about midnight. I think 1 a.m. Is more appropriate. I still would like to see like no more than two-thirds be bar/lounge space. I mean, that would be more appropriate to me because, again, it's great now. But the economy tomorrow could tank. I mean, watch the stocks going up and down. Crazy. We don't know what is going to happen. Right now everything is pointing to an economic downturn. That economic downturn happens, you'll want to fill those spaces and that's the concern.

Alan Clendenin

6:46:18PM Rebuttal? This is a great discussion. I know that this is different, and we don't see too many large scale wet zonings. I will keep it very brief. But Councilman Clendenin, I think you hit the nail on the head. If we are resistant to large-scale wet zonings knowing that they carry a very measurable risk, then we don't end up with developments like midtown and we don't end up with developments like Armature Works, even though they come with their own set of issues and always complaints tied to them, but then as a city, you know, we're forfeiting places Like Water Street and all of these districts that people love. Again, I understand that there's risk in this. Of course, we can't predict the future. But I don't want something that is so signature in these developers who have done a great job with transforming this district to, you know, unfortunately be like minimized based on some future risk that we don't have the ability to predict. That's all I have. If there are any other questions, just let me know. Damien, anything further? I think we're good.

6:47:25PM Motion to close from Councilman Maniscalco. Second from Councilman Viera. Those in favor, aye. Opposed? Ayes have it. Councilman Miranda, would you like to read this? -- special use permit su-2 for alcoholic beverage sales, large venue consumption on premises/package sales, off premises consumption, making lawful the sale of beverages regardless of alcoholic content, beer, wine and liquor, at a certain lot, plot or tract of land located at 1301 east 4th avenue, 1306 east 4th avenue, 1302 east 2nd avenue, 1315 east 5th avenue, Tampa, Florida, more particularly described in section 2 providing that all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict are repealed, providing an effective date, along with the revision sheet.

Lynn Hurtak

6:48:16PM And including the no single use bar/lounge for the barrio market. But that wasn't on the revision sheet.

Charlie Miranda

6:48:24PM I'm sorry. I thought it was.

Lynn Hurtak

6:48:26PM It is the no single use bar/lounge for the barrio market 28,000 square feet.

Charlie Miranda

6:48:32PM As mentioned by My Colleague.

Alan Clendenin

6:48:34PM Perfect. We have a motion from Councilman Miranda. A second from Councilman Viera. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? The ayes have it. Thank you.

The Clerk

6:48:43PM Second reading and adoption will be held on July 16, 2026 at 10 a.m. At old city hall, located at 315 East Kennedy Boulevard, third floor, Tampa, Florida, 33602.

Alan Clendenin

6:48:54PM Thank you. The last item of business, item number 9. You have 11 minutes.

LaChone Dock

6:49:03PM LaChone Dock, Development Coordination. Thank you, council. Item number 9, our last item on the agenda is rez-26-28. And I'D like to show you the map. Normally I would list out the properties. The property addresses included in the rezoning request, but this is a large-scale development. It consists of 55 parcels, and it contains over 30 acres. I just wanted to orient you and show you on this map the area contained within the project boundary. So the properties that are shaded in red are included in this rezoning request. So just to orient you, 19th street is the western boundary. This Is Palm Avenue. Further north you have i-4, you have 22nd street running north-south here. East 6th avenue is the southern boundary as you approach the eastern boundary of the project area. And then east 9th avenue is here, and that's the northeastern, the boundary to the north for the northeastern boundary of the property area. So the request is to -- i'll leave that up a second. The request is to rezone the property from yc 1, which is central commercial core, yc 2, residential, yc 4 mixed use redevelopment, yc 5, general commercial, yc 6 community commercial, yc 7 mixed use. Yc 8 residential and IG industrial general to yc 9 site plan controlled and pda planned development alternative. This is for a mixed use development. This would include commercial intensive uses and all residential types. So with that, i'll turn it over to emily to give her report, and i'll come back and give my report. Thank you. The site is within the central Tampa Planning district. Parts of it are within the local historic district, and the urban village. It's within the historic ybor and historic ybor and gary neighborhoods. Portions of it are within the coastal high hazard area, and the site is within evacuation zones a, b, c, d and e. This is an aerial of the subject site that LaChone just had up. It includes all of the parcels in purple. The surrounding area is just a mix of uses with single-family and multifamily to the north and commercial and office and light industrial to the uses to the south as you go towards adamo. It has transitioned from light industrial to mixed use development pattern within recent years. This is the adopted future land use map. The subject site is within SIX future land use designations. The residential 20, the residential 15, the community commercial 35 which is all of the red, the community mixed use 35, which is the pink, the urban mixed use 16 and part of it is in light industrial. These designations allow for a variety of uses, densities, and intensities. This request would permit a master planned development, mixed use project within just up to 3 million square feet of residential development and all housing types and commercial intensive uses. Due to the site having all of the multiple flu designations, the applicant is utilizing land use policy 5.1.6 To blend the f.a.r. And permitted uses across the entire site which results in a 2.3 F.a.r. Consistent with the underlying future land use designations. The comprehensive plan directs the greatest share of growth to urban villages and areas served by transit. The site is well served by transit including HART routes 5 and 9 and TECO streetcar. The majority of the site is within an urban village, which supports increased housing supply and infill development on vacant or underutilized land. Portions of the site within the CMU 35, the cc-35, and the UMU 60 designations are within a mixed use corridor and subject to the mixed use centers and corridor policies. The design guide book demonstrates consistency with the policies through design principles and subarea framework. The request supports the city's compact urban form strategy by providing transit supported densities and a mix of uses in proximity to employment and transit. The design book reinforces urban design objectives through building placement, pedestrian network and an active ground floor. The development is organized into four subareas which respond to specific contents and policy guidance. Overall, proposed pda is consistent with the comprehensive plan direction related to mixed use centers and corridors, housing, compatibility, urban form, and design. Throughout the site plan review process, staff encourages the continued implementation of the design guide book to ensure consistency with the comprehensive plan. That concludes my presentation if you have any questions.

Alan Clendenin

6:54:10PM Any questions? Hearing none, LaChone.

LaChone Dock

6:54:21PM Thank you again, council. LaChone Dock, Development Coordination. I'm going to put the aerial map back up just to show you again the area under this request, under this rezoning, and also just to talk about the surrounding zonings that exist surrounding the property boundary. You can see that the majority of the parcels are within the yc special district. And you can see the mixture of the yc designations that exist, the yc 1 along 22nd street, you have more of your commercial core with the yc 5 and yc 6 designations. As you head further east that dotted line is the boundary for the Ybor City district. Then you enter into your industrial zones. North of 6th avenue you have industrial general, the IG zoning that exists, and then south of 6th avenue, you have the ih, industrial heavy zone. The area has historically been industrial and those uses are consistent with the underlying zoning. And I would like to take a second just to explain the Pda. We don't receive the Pda rezoning request too often, but the Pda is a planned development alternative. You can do a planned development alternative if you have at least 20 acres of land or more. It anticipates phased development. Mostly what comes before this council are PD rezonings and you receive a site plan. It has the specific data regarding the property. You can see the building placement, parking placement, curb cuts, all of that detail on the PD site plan. On a Pda it is a little different. You're provided an overall boundary, and there is a set of entitlements that are allowed within that boundary of that Pda. And as each phase is developed, the applicant or the developer must submit for incremental review. You'll see within the staff report and also references to incremental review prior to permitting. So they must submit, that is an administrative review. That incremental site plan is compared to the overall entitlements granted in the Pda. And so at each phase of development for the incremental review, drawdown must be submitted to show the entitlements that are being requested if that particular phase, and what entitlements are remaining for the specific categories. So that is the Pda. So what you see before you, what was submitted as a part of the site plan is something that looks like this. This shows the overall project boundary and what has been done here is you can see the blocks that are labeled. Each block is identified with a letter. Starting with the aa blocks on the west and transitioning over to block I to the eastern boundary. So the data table that is a part of the site plan and the design book, they all reference a block, and this is the block that is associated with it, with that reference. But the residential types, there is a cap at 2,279 units. For office, there is 339,300 square feet. Commercial retail sales, there's 283,400 square feet. And hotel is proposed at 149 rooms. I just wanted to show you the entitlements chart. This determines, this is the overall set of entitlements for the development. As an incremental plan is submitted, a chart similar to this is submitted along with it and it shows the drawdown, whether 20,000 square feet of office from the 339,300 square feet. One thing that's important to note is within the Pda boundary, trade-offs are allowed in these entitlements. So the uses that are allowed within the development can trade off between the blocks, as long as it does not exceed the maximums that are listed within the entitlements chart. Also, although CI uses are allowed, there are certain CI uses that are prohibited with this request. Among them are cemetery, adult use, appliance and equipment repair. Crematorium, dry-cleaning plant, large and small, vermin control and related services, those are prohibited uses, although the CI uses are allowed within a development. And the request also includes an associated design guidelines book. That book provides the details. This is regarding signage, parking, public realm, open space, all of those provide that framework for the development. And that's also been provided to you as a part of the site plan package. I have pictures of the site. I'm not going to show 55 pictures, Chairman.

Alan Clendenin

6:59:31PM Thank you. I'm very grateful.

LaChone Dock

6:59:36PM So I would like to say i'm going to show a couple of the boundaries. This is the western boundary. As you know, some of the sites are occupied. Some of the parcels within the project area, they are occupied and others are vacant. But that's starting with the west boundary. This is on 19th street, also that western boundary. And just to relate it, these are the block numbers also provided. That's looking west. That's block c-4. Heading towards the central portion of the project area, and that's looking west at block c-5. This is on 7th avenue, and that's looking east. This is looking west on 7th. We're near the center of the project area. This is the north boundary of the project area, almost to the northeast of block g-4 and this is another view. I just tried to capture more than one parcel in the view, and then the last, I went to the east, towards the eastern boundaries. This is the industrial area in blocks -- and g. There are two waivers with the request. The first waiver section 27-284.2.5, Request to remove five non-hazardous grand trees. And that will be shown on the two reconfigurations and also due at the time of incremental site plan review and prior to permitting. The next waiver is section 27-284.4.1, And this is to reduce the minimum required tree retention percentage for nonresidential, non-wooded lot from 50% to 0%. With that, Drc Staff finds the request consistent. There are site plan modifications to be made. There's also a supplemental revision sheet which has been provided to you. Also this property, given that parts of the property are in the yc district, it requires BLC review. At the time of the staff report, the BLC hearing had not been held where we had the recommendation from the BLC, and that occurred this week. I have provided a copy of the BLC recommendation. And that supplemental revision sheet includes the changes and conditions recommended from the BLC. The applicant has agreed to make those changes, and also, I would just like to let you know that we have Heather Bonds here. She is with historic preservation. And would you like to speak on the BLC finding? She will speak on the BLC recommendation. I'm available if you have any questions on the rezoning.

Lynn Hurtak

7:02:22PM I have questions about the revision sheet. So she's perfect.

Alan Clendenin

7:02:26PM Come on up. [Cell phone ringing]

7:02:49PM Wow that is loud. [ sounding gavel ] you are out of order. [ laughter ] go ahead. The BLC motioned to recommend City Council approve this rezoning. They put several conditions as part of their review. I wanted to mention that the BLC does have the authorized power to review rezonings, and their recommendation is to the extent necessary to preserve the historical integrity and the appearance of the historic district. And with that intent in mind, they had 13 conditions, 13 conditions. Can I read them and explain them if you'd prefer. You have them. Okay. I'm happy to answer any clarifications you may have on any of the conditions.

Lynn Hurtak

7:03:53PM 13 conditions but only 10 revisions. I don't see, for example, the maximum permitted building height on block b 8 reduced from current height limit of 60 feet to 45 feet. So where is that in the revision sheet?

LaChone Dock

7:04:10PM I can assist with that. Thank you so much. LaChone Dock, Development Coordination. I would like to mention that this case was before the BLC on April 28 and May 5. At that time, a favorable recommendation was provided. But then it was determined that the application was improperly noticed. So the applicant actually took the feedback from that, incorporated it into the final site plan that you have before you. So the site plan that is submitted of record actually incorporates some of those changes already. What I did I left what remained. I should have explained that.

Lynn Hurtak

7:04:48PM No, I appreciate that. I was like, hold on. Because it looks mostly the same.

LaChone Dock

7:04:53PM Proactive, had it done.

Lynn Hurtak

7:04:55PM Thank you. I appreciate that. I know it was important to the community, the feel that it connected. I appreciate it. That's my only question.

Alan Clendenin

7:05:02PM I want to thank the BLC on this. I think you guys did extraordinary work and you really brought a project and really made it tremendously better. I think you guys did great work. Express our gratitude to the BLC.

Lynn Hurtak

7:05:17PM I did have one more question about this. Because it is a Pda and because it's in the historic district, when these changes come forward to staff, do they still need to go to the BLC for some of these approvals?

7:05:35PM But I wanted it to be on the record. That's why I asked the question. But thank you very much. Because I think that provides, again, a level of safety to the neighborhood to make sure that as this goes forward, it's not just one giant thing and they can build whatever. They still have to come to the barrio for the pieces within that district. That is why I asked the question.

Alan Clendenin

7:05:59PM I got it. Thank you very much. Applicant? Already pass my 7:06. Try to make 7:15. Getting avi. I'll try to keep these remarks fairly brief. We did have about SIX hours of hearings in front of the BLC. I'll try to --

7:06:24PM Start with your name. My name is Avi Friedman Shaw with the applicant, casa ybor. As alex mentioned, as LaChone and heather mentioned, we're asking to rezone approximately 30 acres primarily within east ybor. That is primarily consists of the sheriff's office, which is today in ybor about eight and a half acres as well as some vacant underutilized and industrial land mostly along 7th avenue going east from 22nd street to about the crosstown connector, the Elevated Highway. We're asking to rezone to pda. I want to thank the City Staff. I want to thank the Historic Preservation Department as well as the BLC for the countless hours they spent with us as the applicant to help fine tune this plan.

7:07:16PM Have this on the public monitors as well, please. Doing individual lot by lot zoning in ybor which is already pretty permissive, there are really a few reasons. East ybor specifically has not seen a lot of development in the past 40 years since the yc zonings were Put Into Place. A lot of vacant, underutilized. A lot of surface parking lots. Most of the sheriff's office is totally inaccessible to the public. 20th street is closed off. 9th avenue was severed about 50 years ago. Pda lets us do a few things, one, Reconstruct Street grid. Two require 10% open space and public amenities. Councilwoman Hurtak, as you mentioned for an earlier agenda item that runs with the land. Even if we don't own all this in the future, it is a required component of the Pda to provide the public open space. One of the most important reasons is to centralize parking. Today, one of the biggest challenges in ybor in developing is where do you put all the parking? It's in urban-type lots. Everything is developed lot line to lot line. Take the parking from individual lots and put them in a Centralized Place allows that ground floor to be occupied by people and not by cars, by businesses. I'm going to pause here really quickly. This is an image of 23rd street and 7th avenue looking west. One thing you'll notice very wide Sidewalks With Street trees, panels and continuation of that same 7th avenue cadence you get elsewhere farther west. We had three key design principles. This is a conceptual rendering of what this would look like. Every single building will come back to the BLC for certificate of appropriateness before a building permit. That's every single building within the historic district. We thought about contextual sensitivity. The existing cadence of ybor. Urban continuity, Reopening The Street grid especially at 9th avenue. Finally, prioritizing walkability and the pedestrian ground plan. As LaChone mentioned, we divided this up into a few different subareas. You have the transit oriented area next to the TECO streetcar, the 7th avenue overlay district, which has more stringent regulations related to heights and setbacks because it is on 7th avenue, that color in mauve, block c-70, 7g4, b-8 and others, that's intended to have more moderate scale next to neighborhoods. Finally, in blue, you have the nonhistoric subarea which is outside of the historic district. That's intended to provide a nice buffer from the Elevated Highway, which you can kind of see from most places in ybor. Historic context, we have about 22 contributing structures within this Pda, those will all be preserved. Any requests we would make to change those, that's all coming before the BLC. That is not something we can do by right. We have specific block by block height limits for each of the individual blocks. Again, which was approved by the BLC. I know that sometimes with pdas there are administrative height increases allowed. We're going ahead and barring that. No intention. Building heights and setbacks, again, we spent a lot of time on this with the BLC. In short, today in ybor, build from 35 feet up to 60 feet. 60 feet yc 6 zoning and permitted in the southern portions of ybor, we're keeping within that same envelope here. There's nothing that will be above that 60-foot height limit that you already see elsewhere in ybor. Anything that reaches the 60-foot height limit, as you'll see from the diagram here, that top story will be set back from the street which Preserves That Street wall and limits any of that visibility from the street. Parking, this is one of the biggest reasons we're doing this Pda. It's so you can park things centrally and not on individual blocks. This side, i'll point out four specific blocks, b-3, b-4, b-8 and d-6. It's kind of in the center. B3, b4, and b8 are in between 21st and 22nd. Two things you'll notice about those streets, they are one-way streets going north and south. Those are the exit ramps from the selmon to the south and i-4 to the north. So the idea is to pull centralized parking there to catch cars before they spread out into the neighborhood. Always have some need for ground floor parking in some of these buildings. Mobility challenges, folks pushing strollers, nice to be able to offer them parking right next to the elevator of their building whether residents or employees, but we think that most people should be able to park in centralized garages and walk one or two blocks to wherever they need to go. D-6 was the item you heard earlier about the vacating of that alley. That's really a Perfect Place to put parking because it's central to this Pda. Park SIX other blocks around it. Two, that parking garage backs up to the CSX tracks to the south side of the CSX tracks. There's no historic casitas, no home, no one looking through the windows seeing the back side of a parking garage. You can put the parking garage to the back next to the CSX tracks. North side 7th avenue, nice deep retail not affected by the parking garage. That's why we asked for the vacating on that one specific block. The public realm, this is one of the other key reasons doing the Pda. By the way, this is 26th street and 7th avenue. Right now today on 7th avenue, I actually have a photo of it. The bottom right picture, this is that same location. There's basically nothing there. There is a small pillar and plaque that lets you know you're going to the historic district. We'd like to have a grandeur entrance to the historic district. Other side of 7th avenue, you have a nice big gate and overhang. We would like to have twin parks here. About you in short, we'd like to do a few things with the public realm. One is Restore The Street grid and public sidewalks. Two is add about three acres of public open space. We're requiring about three acres, 130,000 square feet across the Pda area, and just extend the walkable district eastward. Today, most visitors to the neighborhood think that the historic district ends at the Columbia Restaurant. It doesn't. It ends about three blocks eastward. We'd like to continue that cadence. The streetscape improvements proposing about a mile and a half of new streetscape improvements within the historic district. 75% of the New Street trees other than 7th avenue which will be palms to reflect the historic cadence, will be shade-producing type one trees. This is important, when I walked down 7th avenue for lunch, I have to Cross The Street to the south side because my face is getting blasted by the sun. Nice to Have Street trees producing an urban canopy and shade rather than just palms. We'll keep the palms on 7th avenue. Parks and open space, already mentioned this. A couple of key spaces already staked out for potential parks. On 8th, on 8th avenue, as well as those twin parks towards the end of 7th avenue. Finally, this 9th avenue paseo, the bottom left-hand corner, this is where the sheriff's office is. They take up a super block. We'll go ahead and reopen that and create a wide pedestrian space with retail shops primarily pedestrian, but it will allow for ground floor outdoor dining and things of that nature. That is the high level of this plan. I'm happy to answer any other questions the Council Members have. Go into more detail, allow for public comment, whatever you guys recommend.

7:14:26PM Q & a right now. Councilwoman Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak

7:14:28PM I'm really glad you talked about trees because that is the first thing I wrote. Like palm trees. Because I understand that 7th avenue is historic. I get it, but we are in unprecedented times of heat. I really do believe that the time for palm trees has passed. I respect the historic. I don't know if it's required for this. No. So it's not required for historic. I would ask you to reconsider palm trees. And only because we're just getting hotter and hotter and hotter, and we want people to walk down 7th avenue.

7:15:06PM So just take that for what it's worth. Secondarily, on the east side, you end the selmon connector.

7:15:14PM The selmon connector under that is an absolute just wasted space and gem of what could be. I really hope you are working with THEA and F.D.O.T. To reimagine that space so that not only does it become more usable, it connects gary back to ybor, which is something that neighborhood has been asking for for a long time. I'm hoping that -- and I mentioned it when we did I think the comp plan change for where the hospital is going to be. I felt the need to reiterate that here because it's so important, and to go back to the palm trees for a second, we spent our entire morning talking about trees, and there was someone from ybor who specifically came to say we want more shade trees. So it's a thing. My last thing, of course, is going to be bikes. And bike storage parking for both residential and commercial, preferably protected, secured bike parking, yes, great. But also for -- and that's residential, but what about all the employees? And where can they find secure bike parking that also might possibly in one or two central locations include an area where they might be able to shower and get ready for the day. It's common in other large cities, and it's what I'D like to see our city become as e-bikes become more prevalent and as parking becomes less -- or a bigger concern. So that's one thing. That's another thing I would like you to try to bring forward. Councilwoman Hurtak, totally agree. For any commercial buildings over 20,000 square feet, there is on-site covered bicycle storage required. Any residential building more than 15 units, same requirement. We have on-site required bicycle storage. There are other ways we're trying to incentivize, car shares, scooters, bicycles, we don't like all the cars. We're trying to centralize that and take that off the table as much as we can.

7:17:34PM Awesome. That's what I would say for office use. When you're building office space, have one or two. We put three in hanna city center that are just bathrooms with showers so people have a chance to clean up after their bike ride into work and then they can store their stuff in their office. Got to be able to clean up. We're trying with the city, i'm trying to incentivize that, especially in office space moving forward, but thank you.

Alan Clendenin

7:18:05PM Very good. Complete your presentation? Anybody in the public wish to speak to this item? Come on up. Start with your name, please. 1508 north 20th street. I want to start by apologizing to Councilman Clendenin for extending this meeting. I want to thank Councilwoman Hurtak for her stewardship of the district and taking a very close look at this and asking excellent questions. Thank you. Just real quick, to give you context, every picture they showed, the map, my house is visible. I live in the middle of where all of this is happening. My wife and I built that house ten years ago. We invested heavily in residents of ybor. We do not own any other properties or businesses in the district. We only just live here. We have one car between us and We Drive 7,000 miles a year. We walk everywhere. I walked every one of the blocks and they could see all use a few things. One, additional shade trees. Thank you very much. We definitely need that. Continuous sidewalks. Lots of sidewalks are missing. And a place to go check out. Right now there's nothing there. We're talking about places inaccessible to the public. Surface parking lots and vacant lots. I'm excited to see something interesting and walkable and fun in the district just to make it a Better Place to live. So my three key points about it, one, walkability, you just heard about it. Two, density. Ybor used to be a dense community. Means grocery stores, doctors offices, cleaners, all kinds of things it doesn't have today because it doesn't support the density. Third and final thing to make this quick is balance. Right now, Ybor City is tilted to the west because of the parking garages there and the investments to the west, the only thing in the east is columbia, as mentioned, if you are at the columbia restaurant and you walk out, you're doing one of two things, you're walking to your car or turning left. Let's give them a reason to turn right. Thank you very much.

7:19:49PM Thank you. Next speaker, please. Start with your name. What chris was saying, chris, thank you, we definitely need shade trees in Ybor City. Been a resident of east ybor for over ten years. Some of you guys have come to our meetings. I have served with the association about ten years. Was president, right now I serve as treasurer. We are fully in support of the new development. I worked really hard to bring alongside my board members and our residents and neighbors to bring east ybor to the map of the city, work alongside the police to clear the neighborhood of all the nuisances mentioned before. Prostitution, homeless camps. Honestly, I feel like east ybor is the Safest Place to live in the city. Lived in South Tampa 15 years. I could leave my door unlocked if I wanted to. This is something else i've been waiting for, for over 60 years. I think this development is the third-most exciting thing that has ever happened in east ybor first. The founding of the city. Second, not a good one. Urban renewal, and now this. We live in a neighborhood that still looks like a war zone. Lots of empty lots. That's why we have 35 acres ready for development. We have finally a developer that has proven to be sensitive to the historic roots of our neighborhood, a developer that has been working alongside a very strong neighborhood association to fix all the issues that we have. So we have a lot of faith on the Casa Ybor Team. It does not mean that we are not going to continue to work alongside him and you guys to make sure that we, even though we need some of the amenities that west ybor enjoys, we are going to be working alongside this developer to make sure that we don't nightclubify east ybor. We would love a downtown walkable. Looking forward to. Definitely looking at every single piece of this development and make sure that with the density, with everything, we achieve our dream of having a real neighborhood. Love to have people from -- visitors, love to have people from Carrollwood, but residents have to keep always in mind when anything is happening in our neighborhood. Thank you so much. Again, encourage to approve this.

7:22:35PM Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Right now speaking on behalf of the Tampa Bay Community Design Center, which is formerly CAD, center for architecture and design. So from the board, we just wanted to communicate, first of all, the board is made up of people who have had lifelong experience advocating for good community design and for historic preservation and a lot of the things I know each of you hold dearly and really, especially in this project, you really want to make sure those values are taken into consideration. Before the meetings with the barrio Latino with the BLC, there was a lot of conversation back and forth with the developer to make sure that a lot of points were addressed. So it's really refreshing to come tonight and to see the outcome of all of that work. I know that we've given thanks to the BLC for the work they have done. I think they really have been great stewards of the community. I think this is something that as a board we feel very comfortable with, and we're really hopeful that this moves forward and we're looking forward to seeing how this transforms the neighborhood for the good.

7:23:54PM Thank you very much. Very good. Hearing no others, can I get a -- do you have rebuttal? Thanks.

7:24:03PM Motion to close from Viera. Second from Miranda. All in favor, aye. Opposed? The ayes have it. Councilman Carlson, I believe we're with you.

Bill Carlson

7:24:11PM Yeah, I want to say one thing real fast before we go, we probably approve 98% of the real estate projects we look at. But the few that we don't, the developers always complain and blame City Council, and there's a Right Way and Wrong Way of engaging with the community, I just want to point out, the reason why there's no opposition here is not because of the proposal itself. It's because Darryl Shaw and avi and others have spent months, but even years meeting with every single person in the community so they deeply understand this. If every developer did that, we could approve hundred percent. I would like to make a motion for number 9, file rez-26-28, ordinance being presented for first reading consideration, ordinance rezoning a total of 55 parcels, of which 38 parcels are located in the Ybor City historic district, consisting of plus 30.64 Acres located generally in an area bounded to the north by east 11th avenue, to the east by the selmon connector, and the CSX right-of-way, to the south by east 4th avenue, and to the west by north 19th street "property" in the City Of Tampa, Florida, and more particularly described in section 1 from zoning district classification IG industrial general, yc 1, central commercial core, yc 2, residential, yc 4, mixed use development, yc 5, general commercial, yc 6, community commercial, yc 7, mixed use, and yc 8, residential to pd-a planned development alternative, mixed use commercial intensive uses and residential, all types, and yc 9, site plan controlled, providing an effective date. And the revision sheet.

Alan Clendenin

7:26:04PM Motion from Councilman Carlson, second from Councilman Miranda. All those in favor aye. Opposed? The Ayes have it.

The Clerk

7:26:11PM Motion carried unanimously. Second reading and adoption will be held on July 16, 2026 at 10 a.m. At old city hall, located at 315 East Kennedy Boulevard, third floor, Tampa, Florida, 33602.

Alan Clendenin

7:26:28PM Thank you very much. Councilwoman Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak

7:26:29PM Ms. Dock, I have a quick comment for you. You and your team create such wonderful staff reports. I was just thinking that maybe for the alcohol ones that we could see add a section for just hours of operation and then a section for amplified noise and hours, just so that as we go in, we can see it. You always have the square footage and all of that. Just a little.

LaChone Dock

7:27:06PM On ITs own, section with the hours of operation and section with the sound.

Lynn Hurtak

7:27:10PM In the beginning, you always have that nice chart. Maybe just another couple of lines on that chart.

LaChone Dock

7:27:17PM Absolutely. Absolutely.

Lynn Hurtak

7:27:19PM Because I think it will really help all of us right away know. Because a site plan can be very hard to read.

LaChone Dock

7:27:27PM Agreed, agreed.

Lynn Hurtak

7:27:28PM And reading it on the computer.

LaChone Dock

7:27:30PM And now we embed it in a paragraph somewhere. That would be great. Appreciate the feedback. We'll do it.

Lynn Hurtak

7:27:37PM We work together on these before and her team does a phenomenal job. You have great ideas.

LaChone Dock

7:27:42PM Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

Alan Clendenin

7:27:44PM To the Shaws still in the room, congratulations, mr. And mrs. Shaw. Very good. Congratulations. That concludes our regularly scheduled program this evening. We're down to new business. Councilman Carlson.

Bill Carlson

7:27:56PM I want to make a couple of quick comments and then throw out an idea. One is a Former Employee told me recently that as this employee was leaving HR told them that they were not allowed to contact City Council in Any Way for two years. If it's true, I assume it's true because somebody reliable told me this. If there is a prohibition against lobbying or representing business in front of the city, but it bothers me that if employees are being told they can't contact us in Any Way. I want to throw that out there. The second one is that I think -- can I make a motion about this if you guys like it or not -- but I think there should be some kind of immunity given to employees who speak at City Council meetings. The mere fact of speaking out at a City Council meeting should not cause somebody to get fired. You guys can think, if you are in favor of it, I can make a motion. If you aren't, I can hold on to it and talk about it later. I don't like it that HR or others, there are allegations that people have been fired or threatened to be fired for speaking at City Council. City Council can't directly get involved in administrative efforts, but I think employees just like anybody else have the right to speak in front of City Council.

Alan Clendenin

7:29:15PM Whistle-blower protections?

Bill Carlson

7:29:18PM We've been through that with special sessions. Like the Chief of Staff said a couple of weeks ago, no verified evidence of retaliation. We know there's lots of retaliation. Just because somebody signs a settlement doesn't mean the retaliation didn't happen.

Alan Clendenin

7:29:32PM Was that a motion?

Bill Carlson

7:29:34PM Yeah, I would like to make a motion to have staff come back with a draft ordinance or some kind of document for discussion on September 3rd. September 17, to discuss providing immunity for employees who wish to speak out at public comment.

Alan Clendenin

7:29:59PM Motion from Councilman Carlson. Is there a second?

Luis Viera

7:30:05PM May I speak? I'm over here mumbling. I'll second this under the guise a would you, could you, see if it is something viable. If that's something you want to discuss, i'm fine. I'll second it.

Alan Clendenin

7:30:22PM Motion and second. Councilman Miranda.

Charlie Miranda

7:30:23PM I think everyone, whether you are dismissed or what, has the right to come and speak. However, that individual, whoever who he or she may be, may have done something totally out of bounds and maybe they Went To Court and settled. I don't know what happened. I don't want to create a worse problem for the Taxpayers if something happens. I just want to make sure that somewhere along the line we get legal advice on what we can ask and not ask if we know that something happened, that somebody got dismissed for some reason, and then they come here and then i'm going to make a motion, no, i'm not going to do that.

Alan Clendenin

7:31:07PM I'll speak to it based on my experience, Lmr and Federal Sector. As Employees, union representatives within the Federal Sector have protection based on the labor laws. If they are an official representative of folks, but Employees themselves, if they come and let's say they were libelous or -- there are things that you are accountable for what you do. And if they do something, if they undermine -- there are different standards in the management structure of how Employees are managed. Like, let's say that you are in the financial sector of the city and then you undermine, you come and you said something that would undermine our bond ratings or something like that, you can't have that happen with city Employees. They have to be accountable for that type of thing. Can't just maliciously come in and do something without some kind of accountability.

Bill Carlson

7:32:09PM My point is simply to say the mere fact of speaking at public comment. What They say after that, that is a different subject. If They decide to speak at public comment, They shouldn't be threatened to be fired or fired because of that.

Alan Clendenin

7:32:22PM Mr. Shelby wanted to say something.

Martin Shelby

7:32:25PM Also there is the issue of represented employees, collective bargaining agreements. And the other thing the question is whether somebody comes to City Council during work hours, whether they are in a uniform or not. I mean, there are a lot of HR things. My suggestion would be if you feel strongly about it, certainly, and I would recommend you do it as a written report and see what their response is, and maybe perhaps if you like to meet with them individually but get a written report and council can assess whether they want to go further with that.

Alan Clendenin

7:32:54PM Could you change that to a written report?

Martin Shelby

7:32:59PM I'm suggesting it. If you want an in-person report, that's council's discretion.

Alan Clendenin

7:33:04PM We can start with a written report.

Bill Carlson

7:33:05PM Okay. Change to written report.

Alan Clendenin

7:33:07PM Motion from Councilman Carlson. Second from Councilman Viera for a written report on September 17. All those in favor, aye. Opposed? The ayes have it.

Bill Carlson

7:33:15PM Last thing is, i've listened to the majority of the Charter Review Commission meetings, and maybe some of you have as well. I've talked to more than half the Charter Review Commission. Many of them your appointees. There are concerns about the way the facilitation is going. It seems to me we have three or four meetings left it seems to me we should let the chair run everything and that we don't need a facilitator. I'm not going to make a motion on that. Throw that out. We can talk about it when we get back.

Luis Viera

7:33:47PM Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Three quick motions if I may. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting with our friends over at bay area legal services. I was reminded on how we had passed, I think it was two years ago, a housing grant for bay area legal services through the City Of Tampa for representation on housing-related legal challenges. And in that program -- and that program apparently is still going on. Motion for in-person report from City Staff to update us on the status of this representation program through bay area legal services. And before that time, they should inquire with bay area legal services on any challenges that may exist within the program. We can put on the agenda to limit this to ten minutes for the entire scope of it, including council questions. This shouldn't be a long presentation, five minutes from them, five minutes from us. That's it. That's my motion. September 3rd.

Alan Clendenin

7:34:48PM Motion from Councilman Viera. Second from Councilman Maniscalco. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? Ayes have it.

Luis Viera

7:34:53PM Thank you, council. This is housekeeping. I motion to remove from July 16 the in-person staff report on the Michael Phillips all abilities program. And on August 6 where there is room in lieu of the previously scheduled written staff report, instead request that staff come before council and provide an in-person report on the all abilities program that day. That was a request from staff, which i'm glad to accommodate.

Alan Clendenin

7:35:16PM Motion from Councilman Viera. Second from Councilman Maniscalco. All those in favor say aye. Opposed? Ayes have it.

Luis Viera

7:35:21PM Lastly, I don't know how council feels about this, you know, with our ATU, 1593 or 1464, which one is it? Whichever it is. With our ATU perhaps would it be proper or appropriate for an administration update to speak about this?

Alan Clendenin

7:35:45PM I wouldn't go there.

Luis Viera

7:35:47PM Then I -- just throwing it out there. That's it. Thank you, guys.

Alan Clendenin

7:35:51PM Councilwoman Young.

Naya Young

7:35:54PM I have a motion -- I move to make a motion to provide a commendation to Jammal Jefferson on August 27, 2026 for receiving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers inspire change, change maker award for his commitment for giving back to the youth in the next generation.

Alan Clendenin

7:36:11PM Is that in person, in Council Chambers?

Naya Young

7:36:14PM Yes, in Council Chambers. I did check.

Alan Clendenin

7:36:18PM We have one presentation and one commendation.

Naya Young

7:36:21PM It won't be long.

Alan Clendenin

7:36:23PM With our new rules.

Naya Young

7:36:25PM With our new rules.

Alan Clendenin

7:36:26PM Motion from Councilwoman Young, second from Councilman Miranda. All those in favor, aye. Opposed? Ayes have it.

Naya Young

7:36:32PM And then I kind of touched on it already, but just for constituents that were wanting to know why we didn't talk about noise today, we moved them because we want to put everything on one set agenda. Just also wanted to let the community know that I understand your concerns of wanting to get something resolved now and you have some that are experiencing these noises a little more than others, so They want to see some action from the council but wanted to make sure that everything was put at one time so we're not -- if we can cover everything at one time, then it's better and more efficient. And then I also did express to staff that we do have community members that have been waiting for some time. Yes, i'm okay with pushing this back, but understand there are people who have been waiting for some time. I wanted to let them know that -- just so They know the timeline and that people are waiting. Also, because you all are going to see me, I have a couple of things. One, Toba Leadership Institute has their, which i'm a graduate of, They have their graduation on Saturday. So I will be there speaking. And then we're also presenting a commendation to them on the 16th for celebrating seven classes. I thought that was very exciting. Also, Kentucky State University Alumni had their conference here. Hbcu, Historic Black College University. And when I went to, They had a reception and talking to the organizers, and it was really nice to know that They specifically chose to come to Tampa. They wanted to come to Tampa. And I know there was a time when there was a lot of things happening in our area and there were a lot of -- letters were put out from National NAACP, like don't come to Tampa because there were a lot of things happening in the area. They said you know what we know that that's happening but there's still a lot of, you know, Black and brown businesses that we want to support in Tampa so we want to come anyway. They specifically chose to come to Tampa. I just thought that was really nice. People are really recognizing Tampa and wanting to come here. That's all.

Alan Clendenin

7:38:52PM Very good. Thank you, Councilwoman Young.

Luis Viera

7:38:56PM I have one thing I forgot. Not a motion. Did you all get the e-mail from my office on Roy Caldwood and that event on the 30th? This guy is turning 104. If you saw the Spike Lee movie, 92nd regimen, this guy is turning 104 decorated World War II veteran. Bronze star in Italy. Originally from harlem. 104 years and honoring him there for the 4th of July. He is an awesome guy. Come on down to the People's Republic of New Tampa.

Alan Clendenin

7:39:34PM I'm never going to make it to 104. Councilwoman Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak

7:39:39PM Absolutely hope not. [ laughter ] bless him. I think it's wonderful, but that is not something I want for myself. First of all, I want to say -- I sent this out to news for neighborhoods, the newsletter that I send out. But I wanted to make sure people know that watering restrictions are still around. There is a way that you can contact the Water Department if you see people watering at noon, because I wanted to know. It's crazy. Do not water after 6 a.m. 4 a.m. Sorry, the new rules, are you cannot water after 4 a.m. And you cannot water until 8 p.m. So make sure you're watering on your day. If you don't know what your day is go to the water website, and you should be able to find that. Please, we haven't had to buy any water yet, but we're very close to it. That means your water bills will have to go up. My motion today is -- I worked with staff on this. This is a social action art fund motion. I have a motion requesting staff in coordination with the City Council budget analyst to meet individually with each Council Member to discuss possible improvements to social action in arts fund program to include how to align the funding with City Of Tampa goals or identify areas of need, how to focus on community outcomes and measurable goals, and lastly, to include a program that teaches how to seek outside grants and transition from the social action art fund to other funding sources. Further, I request staff to compile the feedback and return to City Council on August 6, 2026, under staff reports with a summary and preliminary list of three to five administrative areas, identified areas of need, unmet goals, or impact areas. So the reason I did this motion is because I met with Janelle and we are still trying to figure out what to do. One of the ideas was if we have -- we're just going to hope that we can find $1.5 Million this year. If we do that, if we choose an area that the administration says is an area of need, unmet goals, and impact, say teen events, because right now we have the whole teen take-over thing going on. But we've done a really good job with providing activities. Maybe that's our focus. So the half million dollars goes toward that, and then the two-thirds left over goes toward other areas right now, and then next year, it's that 500,000 to teens and 500,000 to something new. And then slowly over time, those teens -- those teen organizations would have three years of funding, but during that time get grant help to learn how to seek outside funding sources so that by the time their three years is up, they can move on and find what they need.

Alan Clendenin

7:42:54PM I have a motion from Councilwoman Hurtak. A second from Councilman Maniscalco. All those in favor, aye. Opposed? Ayes have it. Next.

Lynn Hurtak

7:43:00PM That's it.

Alan Clendenin

7:43:02PM Councilman Maniscalco.

Guido Maniscalco

7:43:03PM Yes, I would like to wish My Wife a happy birthday. It's tomorrow. As you know, she is the perfect woman, and I just wanted to acknowledge that and wish her a happy early birthday. That's it. Thank you.

Alan Clendenin

7:43:17PM Councilman Miranda.

Charlie Miranda

7:43:18PM Sir, i'll talk about water like ms. Hurtak did, Lynn Hurtak. We increased our water demand from 80.3 Million gallons a day to 82.8 Million gallons a day or two and a half million gallons a day more. We cannot sustain that because we have no water raining on a constant basis every day. And we're going to have a problem if we continue using more water than we have every day in the last four or five weeks. It's something that we have to learn to live with. I know it's difficult, but you don't have to take an hour shower. Ten minutes would be enough. If you use soap.

Alan Clendenin

7:43:58PM Thank you, Councilman Miranda.

Charlie Miranda

7:44:01PM That's it, sir.

Alan Clendenin

7:44:02PM Councilwoman Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak

7:44:04PM Yes, Chair Clendenin.

Alan Clendenin

7:44:05PM First, I believe that we have someone, a birthday coming up. When is your birthday, Councilwoman Hurtak.

Lynn Hurtak

7:44:12PM July 1st. Center of the year.

Alan Clendenin

7:44:16PM We'll be on break, so I will say, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, councilwoman Hurtak, happy birthday to you. Hope you don't live to be 104.

Lynn Hurtak

7:44:34PM Me either. [ laughter ] that is a great wish.

Charlie Miranda

7:44:38PM 106 would be all right.

Alan Clendenin

7:44:40PM Exactly. I have one motion. E-mail from emily at the Planning Commission, motion to request the Planning Commission to set adoption hearing for ta/cpa 26-03 on September 24, 2026 at 5:01 p.m. And direct the Legal Department to provide the City Clerk with a form of notice for advertising the public hearing. Fyi, this is the HC property.

Lynn Hurtak

7:45:02PM I have a motion from Council Member -- sorry, Chair Clendenin. I have a second from Councilman Viera. Yeah, this is a tricky one. We'll see what happens here. Do I need to do a roll call vote for this?

Guido Maniscalco

7:45:27PM When do we hear back from the state?

Alan Clendenin

7:45:30PM The schedules are full. This is an ab, trying to get something -- reserving a spot basically.

Guido Maniscalco

7:45:38PM But no guarantee that this is even heard at that time.

Alan Clendenin

7:45:41PM Working with emily, LaChone, everybody else. That was the meeting we had prior to the meeting they felt this was an appropriate date.

Guido Maniscalco

7:45:49PM Is this typically done like this because so busy or full?

Alan Clendenin

7:45:54PM Every one of our calendar dates are full. That's the issue.

Lynn Hurtak

7:46:02PM Okay. Do we want to have a roll call vote for this? Yeah, let's roll call this. I'm sorry, motion from Chair Clendenin --

Alan Clendenin

7:46:12PM This is to set the hearing.

Lynn Hurtak

7:46:14PM I understand that. I still -- second from Councilman Viera.

Alan Clendenin

7:46:18PM Again, this is just setting. This is not a decision point. This is just setting a hearing.

Charlie Miranda

7:46:27PM I'm one of them guys that read for whatever reason, the news and paper, but more than that I look at every want ad in the paper for whatever reason since I was about ten years old and I read them all. About a week and a half ago I was reading one regarding the water permit that they want to apply at S.W.F.W.M.D. On March or February of 25, I forget what date, toward the end of the month, for applying with S.W.F.W.M.D. To get permission for preconstruction operation at the plant, what we're discussing now. I won't mention any names.

Lynn Hurtak

7:47:07PM Anyone else? Do we need to do a roll call? Anyone concerned about putting this on the agenda? Okay. So all in favor? Any opposed? Okay. There you go.

Alan Clendenin

7:47:24PM That's it. I want to wish everybody a happy vacation. Remind the public that we will not be back until July 16, 2026. Happy 250th birthday to the United States of America. Let's hope we live to see 251. Mr. Shelby.

Martin Shelby

7:47:42PM I was going to say, in case nobody did, I wanted to make sure that I just wanted to remind the public that if they show up for the next two thursdays, you won't be here.

Alan Clendenin

7:47:55PM Enjoy your time in city hall without us.

Martin Shelby

7:47:57PM By the way, it took me a while, but I want --

Alan Clendenin

7:48:02PM I have a motion to receive and file from Councilwoman Hurtak. Second from Councilman Miranda. All in favor, aye. Opposed? Ayes have it. Yes, sir.

Martin Shelby

7:48:09PM Happy semi quincentennial.

Alan Clendenin
