Good
evening,
Council
and
I
apologize
for
the
late
notice
on
a
request.
However,
we
do
respectfully
request
that
item
7
be
continued
to
a
date
in
the
future,
be
to
be
determined
by
City
staff
and
they've
advised
me
that
the
other
agendas
are
fairly
full.
So
your
motion
may
need
to
include
the
waiver
of
the
180
days,
which
we
would
also
be
requesting.
F

I
have
a
motion:
all
the
public
hearings
by
councilman
Goose
seconded
by
councilman
matiscalco,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
motion
passes
anyone
giving
any
evidence
this
evening
making
any
comments
this
evening
in
this
chamber
or
down
on
the
second
floor.
Would
you
please
rise
to
be
sworn
in
anyone
who's,
giving
any
testimony.
A
F
Mr
Shelby,
yes,
thank
you,
Council
Council.
This
item
ab2-2209,
is
here
because
of
a
tie
vote
on
December,
8th
pursuant
to
rule
6h
of
City
council's
Rules
of
procedure.
Now
the
motion
on
the
floor
is
as
follows:
that
Council
moves
to
continue
said
public
hearing
to
March
23
2023
at
501
PM
per
the
request
of
the
applicant
again.
The
motion
failed
due
to
lack
of
a
two-thirds
vote
with
Goods
Miranda
and
Carlson
voting
no
and
council
member
Vieira
being
absent
and
council
member
Vieira.
Are
you
prepared
to
vote.
K
F
G
L
L
M
L
K
And
any
other
comments
or
questions
if
I
may
Mr
chair
because
Revere,
yes
sure
and
I'm
inclined
to
support
the
continuance,
I
think
it's
reasonable
and
whatnot
I
know
there
were
some
concerns
raised
on
another
case
that
I
I
wasn't
here.
For
so
therefore
would
happen
cool
to
me,
but
I'm
I'm,
fine
with
a
continuance.
It's
reasonable
legitimate
reasons
have
been
given
and
I'm
fine
for
voting.
Yes,
councilman.
N
F
E
E
F
Time,
if
we
can
announce
it,
please
for
the
purposes
of
the
record,
there
will
be
no
other.
Thank
you
very
much.
Council.
Excuse
me,
though,
just
so
we
clear,
Miss
Coyle.
There
will
be
no
other
notice
of
that
continuance.
No
posting
no
mailing!
This
is
the
opportunity
for
people
to
know
when
this
item
is
being
continued
to,
and
that
again
is
the
clerk
for
the
clerk
correct.
Correct
me:
if
I'm
wrong,
it's
March,
23
2023
at
501
PM.
Is
that
correct?
That
is
correct.
Thank
you.
B
B
B
Unlike
the
standard
rezoning
applications
scheduled
for
your
consideration
this
evening,
anytime
city
council
considers
a
settlement
proposal.
Your
Role
is
legislative
and
allows
Council
to
consider
items
outside
of
the
city's
Land
Development
code
and
the
comprehensive
plan,
including,
but
not
limited
to
the
impact
and
public
interest
resulting
from
the
proposed
settlement.
B
After
I
conclude
my
presentation,
you
will
hear
from
Scott
steady
the
special
magistrate
retained
by
the
city
and
Liberty.
Once
Mr
steady,
makes
his
presentation
on
the
mediation
process
and
explains
his
recommendation.
You
will
hear
from
City
staff
Planning
Commission
staff,
the
applicant,
the
public
and
I
recommend
that
you
conclude
the
hearing
once
you
provide
the
applicant
with
an
opportunity
for
rebuttal
and
finally,
as
you
consider
the
testimony
and
evidence
entered
into
the
record
of
tonight's
hearing.
B
Please
remember
that,
although
the
special
magistrates
report
and
recommendation
is
a
public
record,
actions
are
statements
of
Representatives
for
the
city
and
for
Liberty
are
evidence
of
an
offer
of
compromise
and
inadmissible
in
any
proceeding.
I
mentioned
this
in
the
event
city
council
is
concerned
about
the
possibility
of
establishing.
B
B
City
council
denied
both
applications
by
a
four
to
two
vote
and
the
motion
to
deny
focused
on
two
key
areas.
First,
the
failure
to
establish
compatibility
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
Although
the
rmu
100
future
land
use
category
allowed
consideration
of
the
applications,
Council
found
that
the
proposed
use
and
intensity
of
development
was
not
compatible
with
the
existing
development
pattern.
South
of
knights
run
Avenue,
and
also
the
applicant's
failure
to
comply
with
section
27-136
of
the
Land
Development
code,
which
is
entitled
the
purpose
of
a
site
plan.
B
14Th
of
this
year,
Liberty
filed
this
request
for
Relief
pursuant
to
7051,
and
two
days
later,
on,
June
16th
Liberty
filed
a
petition
for
rid
of
sir
sharari
and
a
complaint
for
damages
pursuant
to
42
U.S,
section
USC,
section
1983,
which
alleges
that
council's
decision
violated
Liberty's
constitutional
guarantee
of
equal
protection
and
was
the
violation
of
procedural
due
process.
Miss
Richardson
is
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
regarding
the
litigation
which,
by
the
way,
is
stayed
pending.
B
The
outcome
of
tonight's
proceeding
now
turning
your
attention
back
to
the
procedural
history
of
this
application,
when
the
request
for
Relief
was
originally
filed
with
the
city,
my
office
provided
city
council
with
a
memorandum
describing
the
administrative
proceeding
under
Section
7051.
It
involves
a
two-step
process,
the
first
of
which
requires
the
special
magistrate
to
conduct
an
informal
mediation
during
which
the
city
and
Liberty
consider
alternative
developments
responsive
to
council's
decision
on
the
applications.
B
In
this
case,
the
special
magistrate
conducted
a
mediation
on
August
31st
at
the
Tampa
Convention
Center
during
the
mediation
Liberty
presented
a
revised
site
plan
intended
to
address
the
basis
for
council's
denial.
Comments
were
received
from
members
of
the
public
as
well
as
City
representatives
and
at
the
conclusion
of
the
mediation
the
city
agreed
to
present.
The
revised
plans
to
city
council
tonight's
hearing
is
part
of
that
first
step
of
the
administrative
process
and
requires
city
council
to
consider
the
revised
site
plan
as
a
proposed
settlement.
B
If
the
city
rejects
the
proposed
settlement,
the
second
step
in
the
administrative
process
is
triggered,
which
allows
a
hearing
before
the
special
magistrate
to
determine
whether
City
council's
action
back
in
May
of
this
year
was
unreasonable
or
unfairly
burdens
the
property.
The
project
before
you
tonight
is
different
from
what
was
denied
earlier
this
year.
The
previous
site
plan
proposed
a
12-story
hotel
with
150
rooms
at
a
maximum
height
of
145
feet.
B
B
and
it
requests
a
waiver
to
allow
reduction
in
parking
from
153
spaces
to
116
spaces.
There
is
a
discrepancy
in
the
number
of
spaces
in
the
rezoning
staff
report
from
the
dri
ordinance.
I
just
want
to
clarify
right
now.
It's
116
spaces
that
are
being
provided,
not
115,
which
was
identified
elsewhere
in
some
documents
during
the
mediation
City
Representatives
made
it
clear
to
Liberty
that
the
city's
willingness
to
present
and
support
the
redesigned
project
should
not
be
interpreted
as
evidence
of
compliance
with
the
code
criteria
for
the
requested
waiver.
B
This
is
Liberty's
burden
and
one
they
must
establish.
During
tonight's
hearing,
an
irregular
rezoning
or
quasi-judicial
hearings.
City
council
looks
solely
to
whether
the
applicant
has
demonstrated
by
competent,
substantial
evidence
that
the
project
meets
the
city's
Land
Development
regulations
and
is
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan,
but
because
this
is
a
settlement
proposal,
there
are
other
factors
that
city
council
must
take
into
consideration,
including
the
fact
that,
if
the
settlement
proposal
is
approved,
all
pending
action
and
litigation
will
be
dismissed
with
prejudice
with
each
party
bearing
its
own
attorney's
fees
and
costs.
B
I
I,
ask
you
miss
Richardson
a
question
and
you
all
can
cut
me
off.
I
shouldn't
ask
this
question,
but
could
you
could
you
tell
me
the
base
the
decision
that
City
Council
made
last
time
I'm
not
necessarily
talking
about
the
litigation,
but
the
decision
that
the
city
council
made
last
time
did
not
take
away
any
entitlements.
There
was
a
ques.
There
was
a
request
to
to
change
the
entitlement
and
and
and
and
the
request
to
change
at
a
time
was
not
an
entitlement.
I
B
So
if,
if
you
don't
mind,
I
think
Annie
Barnes
and
her
presentation
will
be
able
to
address
that
I'd
like
to
defer
and
if
she
doesn't
I'm
happy
to
come
back
up
to
the
podium
and
answer
that
I
just
I
think
before
we
get
there.
If
we
can
just
allow
Mr
steady
to
make
his
presentation
and
then
go
through
the
the
typical
hearing
process,.
F
B
F
To
you,
thank
you.
Well
let
me
take
this
opportunity,
then,
just
to
ask
Council
if
any
of
you
have
had
any
ex
parte
communication,
specifically
any
ex
parte
verbal
Communications
with
anybody
relating
to
this
case,
particularly
the
quasi-judicial
matters,
but
anything
relating
to
this
matter
generally.
If
you
would
please,
at
this
point,
disclose
them
the
sum
and
substance
of
the
communication
and
with
whom
it
occurred.
M
I
O
F
E
P
F
Regard
to
the
written
Communications
and
what's
what
we
refer
to
as
the
Quasi
box,
what
those
are
are
those
the
written
Communications
that
council
members
have
received
that
have
been
made
available
for
public
inspection
and
with
that
being
said,
I
would
like
a
motion
to
receive
and
file
those
into
the
record
at
this
time.
Second,.
E
Q
Chairman
member
city
council,
Scott,
steady
burn,
Foreman,
Suite
3200,
one
Tampa,
City
Center,
as
Kate
said,
I
was
the
special
magistrate
that
handled
the
mediation
portion
of
this
process.
Just
have
a
few
comments.
Kind
of
following
up
on
some
things,
Kate
said.
First
of
all,
the
process
is
is
created
by
the
state,
legislatures
and
alternative
to
litigation.
Hopefully
to
avoid
litigation.
Q
The
city
is
required
to
participate
once
the
petition
is
filed
and
staff
on
your
behalf
is
required
to
participate
in
good
faith,
to
try
to
seek
some
resolution
in
this
matter.
In
fact,
the
statute
says
that
there
needs
to
be
someone
that
attends
the
hearing
or
the
meeting
the
mediation
that
has
the
authority
to
bring
back
a
recommendation
to
city
council
with
the
proposal
that
was
reached
at
the
mediation
and
that's
what
we're
here
for
today.
Q
I
think
bottom
line
is
that
both
the
staff,
your
staff
and
the
the
developer
in
good
faith,
tried
to
make
changes
to
address
City
council's
concerns.
In
light
of
the
fact
that
this
is
under
the
rmu
100
land
use
category,
the
most
intense
land
use
category,
the
city
has
so
I
think
they
made
that
effort
at
the
conclusion
of
the
process
were
where
they
sent
an
alternative
plan.
Q
That's
going
to
be
presented
to
you
today
there
were
a
number
of
people
that
still
had
concerns
and
objections
and
I
believe
they're
all
here
this
evening,
so
they
had
that
right,
certainly
with,
but
but
with
that
understanding.
I
still
think
that
the
plan
is
worthy
of
your
consideration
and
approval,
and
unless
you
have
any
questions,
customer.
M
Q
M
Q
Okay,
so
that
that's
always
a
little
bit
of
a,
let
me
explain
the
mediation
so
to
be
clear
because
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
people-
and
this
comes
up
a
lot-
the
mediation
is
between
the
city
and
the
developer.
So
the
the
the
majority
of
the
discussion
I'm
mediating
between
those
two
parties,
the
the
people
that
participate
under
the
statute,
only
get
to
participate.
If
there's
a
proposed
solution,
they'll
come
back
to
city,
council
and
I
know
that
frustrates
a
lot
of
people.
Q
Q
Q
Q
S
Good
evening,
Council
Sam
Thomas
with
your
Planning
Commission
staff,
as
noted,
the
subject
site
is
on
Harbor
Island
and
within
the
central
planning
on
Central
Tampa
planning
district.
The
site
is
also
within
the
coastal
High
Hazard
Area
Transit
service
is
provided
to
the
stop
by
the
trolley
and
that's
about
0.4
miles
away
across
the
bridge
and
the
site
is
within
a
level
a
evacuation,
though.
S
S
Island
is
urban
in
character;
it
is
a
mixture
of
mid-rise
and
low-rise
developments
and
with
a
mixture
of
also
a
single
family,
detached
and
attached
units
and
multi-family
low-rise
units.
So
there's
also
a
mixture
of
commercial
uses
along
Jackson
and
some
of
the
buildings
along
Harper,
Place,
Drive
and
Channelside
way,
and
then
just
north
of
the
island
is
the
Water
Street
development
in
the
convention
center.
That
you
guys
are
familiar
with
here
is
the
adopted
future
land
use
map.
S
The
subject
site
is
recognized
under
the
regional
mixes
100
designation,
as
is
the
entire
Island,
so
the
whole
island
has
been
planned
for
high
intensity
mixed
use
development.
That
does
not
mean
that
every
development
is
mixed
use
just
that
the
island
has
been
planned
for
a
mixture
of
uses.
This
is
the
only
land
designation
on
Harbor
Island,
and
it
has
been
in
place
at
least
since
February
25th
1989
per
Planning
Commission
Archives.
This
is
also
the
highest
future
land
use
designation
outside
of
the
central
business
district.
S
You
can
see
that
dark,
maroon
color
up
here
that
represents
the
central
business
district
Planning
Commission
staff
did
find
the
proposed
development
is
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
The
plan
does
not
regulate
height,
but
it
does
provide
a
guideline
for
the
re
does
provide
a
guideline
and
for
the
regional
mixes
100.
That
guideline
is
around
24
stories.
Staff
found
that
the
proposed
10-story
building
is
consistent
with
the
plan
similar
and
compatible
with
the
surrounding
area
and
the
buildings
to
the
north
of
the
subject
site.
S
We
also
found
that
the
we
also
found
that
the
plant
we
also
found
that
the
proposed
development
is
furthering
the
mixed-use
policy
Direction
by
providing
the
pedestrian
entrance
along
nice
run,
Avenue
that
connects
to
the
public
sidewalk
Additionally.
The
integrated
and
Screen
parking
garage
also
supports
many
policies
in
the
comprehensive
plan
and
while
the
subject
site
is
within
the
coastal
High
Hazard
area,
since
the
proposed
PD
is
commercial
and
a
hotel
does
not
increase
the
number
of
residential
units.
The
proposed
rezoning
is
not
subject
to
CM
policy
1.2.2.
S
E
N
S
N
E
N
R
Andy
Barnes
filming
coordination,
I'm
going
to
continue
do
a
brief
overview
of
the
project.
So
the
current
building
on
site
is
a
one-story
building
construction
in
1987
and
is
the
property
is
located
at
the
southeast
corner
of
the
intersection
of
knights,
run
Avenue
and
South
Harbor
Island
Boulevard,
which
I
will
show
overhead.
R
The
property
is
surrounded
by
PDA
and
PD
zoning
districts
on
all
sides.
The
properties
to
the
south
and
east
contain
fitness
center
known
as
The
Harbor,
Island
Athletic
Club,
the
property
to
the
north
is
a
business
professional
office

Council
Jake

while
I'm
getting
my
presentation
queued
up
I
have
a
couple
points
of
order.
The
first
is
that
we
have
a
very
complicated
matter
before
us
that
involves
two
development
orders
and
a
settlement
agreement.
I
would
request
that,
rather
than
having
the
full
amount
of
time
for
two
development
orders
that
we'd
be
given
20
25

for
initial

and
20
minutes
for
rebuttal
disclosure.
J
T
T
The
stakes
are
high
for
all
of
us
in
this
case,
and
the
question
I
think
we
should
all
be
asking
tonight
is:
are
you
comfortable
singling
out
this
one
property
and
not
applying
the
rules
of
the
game
that
have
existed
for
over
35
years
on
Harbor
Island?
That's
the
question
that
this
application
presents
to
you
tonight
to
your
professional
staff:
have
recommended
approval
of
this
project
twice,
as
has
the
independent
special
master,
so
we
expect
we're
respectfully
requesting
your
approval
as
well.
T
U
Good
evening
honorable
councilman
and
councilwoman
for
Tech,
my
name
is
Punit
Shaw
I'm,
the
Chief
Executive
Officer
of
Liberty
Group
Liberty
group
was
founded
by
my
father
40
years
ago,
and
we
have
been
in
Tampa
for
20
years
now
and
since
that
time,
we've
invested
in
over
a
billion
dollars
of
real
estate,
both
in
Tampa
and
throughout
the
country,
including
60
hotels,
as
well
as
significant
real
estate
holdings
on
Harbor
Island
itself.
You
heard
earlier
about
Jackson's
American
Social,
we're
part
of
the
group
that
owns
the
entire
complex
there.
U
My
family
has
lived
here
for
20
years
and
and
more
than
half
that
time
has
been
on
Harbor
Island.
In
that
time,
I've
really
enjoyed
watching
the
dynamic
growth
of
downtown
Tampa
and
Harbor
Island
I.
Remember
when
I
moved
to
Harbor
Island
those
three
21
story:
Towers
you
just
saw
in
the
picture
didn't
exist,
and
that
was
only
10
years
ago.
So
we've
been
watching
incredible
growth,
all
for
the
betterment
of
our
community.
U
These
buildings
were
built,
I,
think
within
the
past
10
years
and
they're
the
same
zoning
as
our
property
and
they're
on
the
same
street.
Nice
run.
So
our
objective
has
always
been
to
positively
impact
our
community
we've
worked
collaboratively
with
City
staff
to
develop
several
other
beautiful
buildings
in
downtown
Tampa,
including
the
Aloft
on
Kennedy
and
Meridian,
as
well
as
the
I'm,
sorry
Kennedy
and
Ashley,
and
the
Dual
branded
Hilton
on
Kennedy
and
Meridian,
as
well
as
several
Starbucks
stores.
U
Those
business
interests
allow
us
to
contribute
significantly
to
our
local
community
and
charitable
organizations
that
many
of
you
are
part
of.
In
the
past
few
years,
we've
donated
three
million
dollars
to
Rotary
Junior
League
crisis
center
Metropolitan
Ministries,
UCF
USF
and
Hillsborough
Community
College
we've
owned
this
property
since
2016.,
and
we've
waited
very
patiently
for
downtown
to
transform
the
way
that
it
has.
We
think
that
this
is
the
time
for
Tampa
to
support
a
hotel
of
this
caliber.
U
U
The
first
AC
hotel
opened
in
Madrid
Spain
in
1999,
and
it's
Marriott's
Boutique
Lifestyle
brand,
with
an
emphasis
on
sustainability,
design
and
lifestyle,
which
complements
some
of
the
other
hotels
in
our
in
our
city
like
the
Epicurean
and
the
Haya
and
the
Le
Meridian.
The
AC
will
support
the
convention
center
expansion.
You
know
we're
spending
10
million
dollars
to
renovate
that
Amelie
Arena,
USF,
Health,
Tampa,
General,
Hospital
and
Water
Street
downtown
Tampa
is
in
dire
need
of
hotel
rooms.
U
U
We've
said
assembled
a
team
of
seasoned
local
experts
that
have
worked
extensively
on
Harbor
Island,
as
well
as
projects
throughout
downtown,
so
that
our
hotel
is
cohesive
with
its
natural
surroundings,
our
proposed
hotels
been
found
twice
by
City
staff
to
be
compatible
and
consistent
with
the
neighborhood,
and
it's
not
opposed
by
any
of
the
immediately
adjacent
neighborhood
Neighbors
on
Harbor
Island.
In
fact,
it
is
supported
by
virtually
every
business
on
Harbor
Island
and
numerous
commercial
property
owners
throughout
Tampa,
and
in
fact
many
North
and
South
Harbor
Island
residents
have
sent
you
emails
of
support.
U
Our
intention
continues
to
be
collaborating
with
the
city
to
develop
the
most
impactful
projects
possible,
just
as
we've
done
so
many
times
in
the
past.
For
this
hotel
we've
already
reduced
the
scale
twice.
We've
redesigned
our
plans
four
times
based
just
on
now
neighborhood
and
Council
feedback.
I
think
this
demonstrates
our
commitment
to
collaboration
again
with
your
approval.
Today
it
will
result
in
the
creation
of
50
new
well-paying
jobs,
an
immediate
40
million
dollar
investment
in
our
community
and
more
than
25
million
dollars
in
exponential
increased
property
taxes
that
will
support
our
local
government.
Public.
U
T
T
So
a
brief
timeline
is,
as
as
staff
described
since
the
denial
on
May
12th
and
how
we
got
here.
As
the
city
attorney's
office
described,
we
have
we
did
file
lawsuits.
We
also
filed
a
6.6
million
dollar
Harris
act,
request
for
Relief
and
demand.
We've
put
all
of
that
on
hold
and
spent
the
last
seven
months,
doing
nothing
but
redesigning
the
hotel,
mediating
and
working
with
staff,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
all
better
off.
T
If
we
can
come
to
a
resolution
of
this,
we
do
feel
like
we
were
not
fairly
treated
at
the
last
city
council
meeting,
but
we're
here
today
to
resolve
that
foreign.
So
an
overview
of
of
this
is
a
photo
of
what
we're
presenting
to
you
today.
So
145
room,
upscale
lifestyle
hotel
with
ancillary
support
uses.
You
know
it
was
completely
redesigned
from
the
ground
up
and
reduced
from
12
levels.
To
10.
T
Now
I
know
that
you're
going
to
hear
from
the
opposition,
because
I
have
that
there's
nothing
new
about
that
concept.
But
again
the
start
highlights
the
many
changes
that
we've
made.
We
completely
redesigned
the
site.
This
is
the
second
time.
The
first
time
we
redesigned
the
site
was
after
a
community
meeting
again
we
started
at
Ground
Zero
redesigned
the
site
after
we
came
before
you
all
in
may.
We
listened.
We
redesigned
the
site
since
then.
We've
also
added
a
number
of
things
that
weren't
on
that
weren't
considered
that
weren't
on
the
table.
T
Back
then
in
May,
we've
added
bike
and
motorcycle
parking,
we've
added
on-site
and
off-site
wayfinding
signage
off-site
Mobility
improvements
that
I'll
discuss
and
we've
limited
private
truck
delivery
yeah,
as
staff
mentioned.
The
planning
context
is
that
outside
of
your
CBD
you're
in
the
most
dense,
comprehensive
plan
category
that
this
city
has
the
city
has
been
planning
for
this
since
1989.
T
we're
also
within
the
CBD
periphery.
This
is
comparable
to
Channelside
we're
also
within
a
mixed
use:
Corridor
that
requires
intensity
and
density
because
of
our
proximity
to
Transit,
the
dri
was
planned
with
State
oversight.
What
that
means
is
that
this
dri
and
Harbor
Island
were
planned
from
the
beginning
as
an
extension
of
downtown.
T
T
T
The
neighborhood
erected
those
Gates
to
ensure
that
they
were
protected
from
the
future
growth
of
the
island.
What
they're
asking
you
to
do
today,
when,
when
you
hear
that
Knights
run,
is
the
dividing
line?
They're
asking
you
essentially
to
extend
their
private
gates
to
Knights
run
Knight's
run,
has
never
been
important
as
a
planning
concept.
T
The
site
history,
this
site
prior
to
1989,
was
Zone
C2,
which
allowed
commercial
uses,
including
hotels
in
the
early
90s.
As
you'll
hear
more
about
later,
the
gates
were
moved
south
from
the
intersection
to
their
current
location.
The
reason
for
that
was
to
make
sure
that
these
properties
could
be
used
commercially,
this
property
rather
from
1989
to
2004.
This
property
was
in
the
master
PDA
for
Harbor
Island,
which
allows
commercial
uses,
including
hotels,
up
to
158
feet
in
height
in
2004.
T
T
T
T
The
only
appropriate
standards
for
compatibility
are
those
in
the
surrounding
zonings
and
in
the
dri.
That's
what
the
city
for
35
years
has
said
are
the
rules
of
the
road
on
Harbor,
Island
and
except
for
this
one
site
they
allow
the
height
and
use
I
described.
Otherwise,
this
graphic
illustrates
the
building's
height
and
mass
is
appropriate.
T
You'll
note
that
our
building
is
an
l-shape
that
orients
the
lower
green
portion
toward
the
residential
uses
to
the
West.
Overall,
there
are
six
buildings
on
the
island
taller
than
the
proposed
Hotel
and
five
buildings
in
the
seven
to
ten
level
class.
The
same
as
this
proposed
Hotel.
So
in
the
north
side
of
the
island,
you
have
an
existing
Hotel,
a
block
away,
that's
12
levels,
an
adjacent
office
use
to
the
north,
that's
12
levels
and
residential
use.
That's
catty
corner,
that's
21
levels
on
the
South
Side.
T
T
So
taking
a
closer
look
behind
the
gate,
you'll
see
that
the
eight
level
residential
structure
are
very
close
to
the
low
low
density,
residential
single-family
homes,
only
140
feet
away
and
even
closer
to
town
homes,
we're
only
adding
two
levels,
but
we're
many
times
further
away
from
single-family
homes.
Now
again,
remembering
that
the
definition
of
compatibility
is
when
land
uses
can
coexist
over
time.
T
These
uses
within
the
South
neighborhood
association
have
coexisted
for
decades
next
to
each
other
and
they
still
exist
it.
That
is
the
definition
of
compatibility
and
what
I
would
suggest
to
you
is
that
the
only
thing
incompatible
on
the
island
at
this
time
is
restricting
this
site
as
the
one
and
only
site
on
the
entire
Island.
That
is
only
allowed
to
be
built.
One
story
tall,
the
only
the
only
structure,
this
Canyon
effect
that
you
see
was
not
planned.
T
T
Now,
Council,
you
all
invest
a
lot
of
money
in
the
city
in
tourist
infrastructure,
Transit,
infrastructure,
sidewalks,
roads.
The
way
you
get
the
return
on
those
Investments
is
by
growing
the
city.
This
hotel
is
closer
to
the
convention
center,
it's
closer
to
Emily
than
many
of
the
existing
hotels
in
downtown.
This
is
as
walkable
As
It
Gets.
If
we
want
to
grow
as
a
city-
and
we
truly
want
walkable
tourist
infrastructure
for
our
for
our
guests
for
our
residents
this,
this
is
the
way
to
do
it.
T
Now,
in
Lane
juice,
everything
is
a
give
and
take.
We
agreed
with
staff
in
discussions
after
hearing
your
comments
and
the
public
comments
to
decrease
the
height
of
this
building
from
12
levels
to
10.
the
give
and
take
there
is
that
we
need
a
parking
waiver
justification
to
get.
We
need
a
parking
waiver
to
get
there.
T
Council
I
know
you
remember.
Just
recently,
you
updated
your
Downtown
parking
standards.
Downtown
is
1200
feet
away
from
our
site,
and
your
new
standards
require
one
space.
Excuse
me
one
space
per
eight
rooms,
so
we're
being
held
to
this
Antiquated
three
decade-old
standard
and
being
penalized
because
we're
simply
1200
feet
away
from
that
arbitrary
boundary
line.
If
we
were
in
downtown,
this
hotel
would
be
over
parked
by
a
hundred
spaces.
T
T
T
What
we're
proposing,
if
this
is
approved,
is
that
we
would
undertake
on
our
own
up
to
a
cap.
Some
of
those
improvements,
we're
and
those
are
enhanced,
Paving
markers,
basically
re-striping
the
intersection
and,
if
approved
by
Mobility,
if
there's
enough
right-of-way
to
create
the
Bike
Line,
the
bike.
Lanes
excuse
me
going
north.
You
can
see
those
in
green
on
this
graphic,
the
blue
or
white.
The
blue
on
the
graphic
are
wayfinding
signs.
You'll
see
we
have
one.
These
are
not
branded.
T
These
are
wayfinding
only
to
instruct
motorists
and
guests
and
make
sure
they
understand
that
the
entrance
to
the
hotel
is
on
Knights
run,
so
there
would
be
two
off-site
and
four
on-site.
We
also
confirmed
with
staff
that
this
during
the
construction
process,
we
would
be
able
to
re-address
this
site
to
have
a
nice
run,
address
for
GPS
purposes.
With
that
I'd
like
to
have
Mr
Randy
Cohen
speak
for
a
moment.
V
Good
evening,
Randy
Cohen
I
have
been
sworn
4121.
West
Cypress
Street
I
wanted
to
talk
just
a
little
bit
about
gate
operation
and
what
happens
there?
This
dri
was
actually
done
by
my
mentor
and
I,
took
over
the
dri
in
the
early
19
early
to
mid
1990s
I've
been
responsible
for
all
of
the
dri
work.
Technically
all
of
the
transportation
work
on
large-scale
issues
on
the
island.
V
Since
then,
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
faced
with
early
on
by
the
developer
was
changing
this
project
so
that
the
south
portion
of
the
island
became
residential
as
opposed
to
office.
This
was
originally
approved
for
millions
of
square
feet
of
office
and
hotel
in
looking
at
that
and
evaluating
what
would
happen
with
residential
South.
If
you
will
one
of
the
things
that
came
back,
is
we
needed
to
move
the
gates
and
that's
exactly
what
we
did.
V
If
you
look,
you
can
actually
see
up
near
the
intersection,
some
remnants
of
where
the
Gates
Used
to
Be
they're,
now
moved
to
the
South,
both
SLO
Westgate
and
the
East
Gate.
That
was
to
make
sure
there
was
an
adequate
distance
for
cueing
of
residents.
Coming
in
and
Commercial
activity
going
on,
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,.
V
There
have
been
some
questions
about
the
gate
and
I
want
to
make
sure
everyone
understands
exactly
what
we
did
when
we
moved
this
gate.
Back
long
ago
we
had
all
sorts
of
tie-ups
at
the
intersection
of
Harbor
of
Harbor,
Island,
Boulevard
and
knights
run.
We
moved
the
gates
back
if
you'll
see
on
the
far
right.
That
is
an
automated
gate
for
residents
of
the
island
to
drive
through
through
an
automated
process.
The
center
lane
is
solely
for
folks
that
don't
have
automated
credentials
to
get
onto
the
island
for
them
to
go
through
a
security
check.
V
Southbound.
There
is
one
lane
coming
out
and
it
immediately
comes
into
two
lanes
that
are
on
Harbor
Island
Boulevard,
going
back
to
the
north,
so
we
don't
have
any
issues
with
the
gate
considered
to
what
we
used
to
have
in
the
early
1990s
before
we
moved
it
back
and
changed
its
automation.
Thank
you.
T
T
T
This
is
what
we
came
to
you
in
May
with,
and
this
is
what
we're
proposing
today.
What
you
can
see
here
is
that
we're
taking
a
step
down
approach
from
the
12
levels
that
are
immediately
adjacent
to
our
North,
to
our
10
levels,
to
the
eight
levels,
structures
that
are
within
the
gates
and
again
this
is
Northeast
looking
toward
downtown.
T
This
is
the
design
that
came
before
you
in
May,
and
this
is
what
we're
here
with
you
here
before
you
today,
as
you
can
see
we're
quite
a
bit
shorter
than
the
12-story
building
that
we're
adjacent
to,
and
this
is
Northwest
looking
towards
Tampa
General.
This
helps
you
really
visualize
I,
think
the
scale
and
massing
of
this
hotel
compared
to
the
eight
level
structures
that
are
within
the
gates.
T
so
council.
With
that
we've
worked
hard
to
address
the
concerns
you
had
in
May.
That's
what
we've
spent
the
last
seven
months
doing
we
throughout
our
plans,
we
completely
redesigned
the
building
and
we've
been
working
with
your
staff.
Since
that
time,
we've
provided
a
textbook
example
of
good
planning,
in
that
we
have
this
step
down
of
density
and
intensity
from
12
levels
to
10
to
8..
T
We've
proposed
a
hotel
that
have
proposed
on
any
other
property
on
the
island.
We
would
not
need
to
come
before
you
to
ask
for
rezoning
approval
and
it
will
not
have
a
negative
effect,
as
you've
heard
from
our
transportation
expert
on
the
south
neighborhood
Gates,
because
because
those
have
been
planned,
this
has
been
planned
for
for
quite
some
time.
In
fact,
the
gates
were
actually
moved
to
plan.
For
this
type
of
scenario,
all
your
professional
staff,
as
well
as
the
independent
special
magistrate,
have
recommended
approval.
With
that,
we
asked
for
your
approval.
T
E
E
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
as
you
can
see,
there
are
a
lot
of
people
here
tonight
and
we
want
to
hear
everything
you
have
to
say,
but
please,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
being
mindful
of
the
person
who
spoke
before
you,
if
we
could
cut
down
the
redundancy
and
not
repeat
what
the
person
in
front
of
you
said,
we
will
all
be
happier
anyone
wanted
to
make
a
public
comment.
If
we
could
start
a
line
on
my
left,
you're
right.
A
W
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
city
council.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
today.
My
name
is
Dave
smoker
I'm
with
the
smoker
Matthews
Law
Firm.
Our
address
is
100
South
Ashley,
Drive,
Suite,
1490,
Tampa,
Florida,
33602
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
South
neighborhood
association,
and
we
are
here
in
strenuous
objection
to
approval
of
this
particular
settlement
proposal
and
any
any
zoning
applications.
Notice
of
proposed
change
and
parking
waiver.
That's
been
proposed.
W
The
South
neighborhood
association
has
approximately
800
individuals
who
own
homes
within
the
South
neighborhood
association
area
and
as
a
point
of
order,
we
have
received
approximately
25
minutes
worth
of
waivers
of
time
from
other
individuals.
We
would
request
the
ability
to
speak
for
25
minutes
if
possible,
and
we.
E
Would
show
me
I
do
apologize?
Can
you
please
take
a
look
at
these
waivers
and
ask
for
the
people
that
have
signed
this
with
these
waivers?
Ask
them
when
you
call
it
the
name
for
them
to
raise
their
hands
so
that
they
will
get
an
additional
one
minute
per
person.
However,
we
hope
that
you
do
not
need
to
take
the
full
time.
Mr.
F
If
I
can
I'm
sorry,
I
was
just
about
to
step
out
and
I
I.
Very
briefly,
I
missed
the
beginning
of
the
discussion
Mr
smoker.
You
have
I
have
three
sheets
that
have
been
provided
to
me
by
Ms
Mandel.
Your
sheet
has
five
names
on
it.
A
gentleman
by
the
name
of
Bill
Oliver
has
six
names
on
that,
and
for
a
gentleman
by
the
name
of
Tim
Powell
has
seven
names.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
on
how
it
is
with
these
speaker
wave
reforms
that
you
wish
to
perceive.
H
W
E
F
Please,
and
thank
you
I'm
sorry,
I,
don't
want
to
I
just
want
to
be
clear
because
I'm
presented
with
three
different
sheets
with
three
different
names.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
for
the
purposes
of
the
process
and
the
record,
how
we
should
proceed,
and
certainly
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
where
Mr
Kramer
is
in
this
room.
X
There
are
three
principles
on
the
presentation
from
an
expert
perspective,
and
so
the
options
are.
We
can
consolidate
all
that
time
or
divide
it
up
between
the
three.
That's
why
it
has
the
three
different
names
on
it.
Whatever
is
easier,
but
I
don't
know
if
it's
easier
for
y'all
to
just
consolidate
that
into
one
presentation
which
would
lead
up
to
25
minutes
or
each
one
takes
their
time.
It's
no
matter
to
us.
I
just
want
to
make
it
easy
for
you.
It.
F
T
W
You
Mr
chairman
again
for
the
record
Dave
smoker
smoker
Matthews
Law
Firm
on
behalf
of
the
South
neighborhood
association,
as
I
said,
we
strenuously
oppose
approval
of
the
changes
that
have
been
proposed
that
are
before
you
today.
You
know
really.
The
bottom
line
here
is
that
the
changes
that
they've
made
are
not
Material
to
the
ultimate
issues
of
incompatibility
that
you
previously
found.
W
In
other
words,
the
bottom
line
is
a
hotel
of
10
stories
is
just
as
objectionable
from
a
compatibility
standpoint
to
the
residents
of
the
South
neighborhood
association,
as
was
a
12-story,
and
you
know
you
can
prune
around
the
edges,
but
in
the
final
analysis,
this
is
just
not
an
appropriate
use.
At
this
particular
location,
I
mean
the
existing
building.
Is
one
story
we're
talking
about
10
stories?
Now?
That's
that's
a
factor
of
10
just
in
terms
of
the
height,
not
to
mention
the
bulk,
not
to
mention
the
the
setback
issues,
not
to
mention
the
scale.
W
I
mean
all
of
the
issues
that
relate
to
compatibility,
as
our
experts
will
testify,
have
not
materially
changed
one
iota
from
what
was
previously
denied
by
this
board.
Now
we're
going
to
present
the
testimony
of
Mr
Tim
Powell,
he's
an
expert
land
use
planner
and
he's
going
to
testify
to
the
gross
incompatibility
of
this
particular
Hotel
use
at
this
particular
location.
W
We
will
also
present
the
testimony
of
Mr
William
Oliver,
who
is
a
well-recognized
traffic
expert
and
he's
going
to
be
testifying
to
the
fact
that
the
type
of
traffic
that
is
generated
by
a
hotel
is
radically
different
than
the
type
of
traffic
that
was
previously
generated
by
the
existing
allowable
entitlements
for
office
and
bank
type
use,
and
it's
not
an
accurate
statement
to
say
that
you
are
restricting
this
particular
property
to
one
story.
That's
simply
not
factually
accurate.
The
existing
land
use
approvals
for
this
particular
parcel.
Allow
for
a
wide
array
of
of
uses.
W
The
key
Point
here
is
that
the
original
mixed
use
entitlement
from
the
future
land
use
plan
and
I've
dealt
with
these
many
times
before.
Our
our
uses
that
contemplate
individual
site
plan
rezonings
over
a
period
of
years
to
flesh
out
the
issues
of
compatibility.
In
other
words
over,
you
can't
go
back
35
years
and
say:
oh
well.
We
have
intense
mixed
juice
entitlements.
Therefore,
we
should
get
them
today.
Well,
the
the
area
has
evolved.
There
are
discrete
neighborhoods
There's
issues
of
compatibility
that
have
to
be
addressed
on
a
site-specific
basis.
W
You
know
sort
of
the
elephant
in
the
room
here
is
that
the
Liberty
filed
a
6.6
million
dollar
Bert,
Harris,
claim
and
I
think
they
filed
it,
because
they're
trying
to
Leverage
The
Situation
I,
normally
represent
developers
I've
filed.
My
share
of
these
I
know
how
the
game
is
played,
and
the
bottom
line
here
is
that
you
shouldn't
be
concerned
about
that.
In
my
opinion,
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
review
the
Bert
Harris
claim
and
I.
W
Don't
believe
that
it's
meritorious
I
don't
think
that
they
can
show
the
basic
elements
of
a
Bert
Harris
claim
I,
don't
think
they
can
show
that
their
use
of
the
existing
property
is
being
inordinately
burdened
by
refusal
to
allow
a
hotel.
Second
I
think
that
the
property
is
currently
usable
for
office
purposes.
W
Additionally,
the
hotel
use
is
really
speculative,
you've
already
denied
it
once,
and
the
Practical
reality
is
is
that
there
was
no
no
prior
approval
of
a
hotel
on
this
site.
There
was
an
approval
of
a
of
a
of
a
sales
Center
and
then
of
a
Bank
building.
So
if
you
have
an
expectation
as
far
as
what
you
could
do
with
the
property,
the
expectation
was
what
you
could
do
that
when
you
bought
the
property
which
was
office,
use
now,
I
think
that,
in
the
final
analysis,.
W
We
don't
think
that
they
can
prove
up
a
Bert,
Harris
claim,
and
so
this
6.6
million
dollar
elephant
in
the
room
is
exactly
that.
It's
an
elephant
in
the
room,
but
it
doesn't
have
any
teeth.
In
our
opinion
now
the
South
neighborhood
association
wants
you
to
know
that.
We
think
that
this
proposal
is
grossly
incompatible
with
the
residential
areas
to
the
South
and
we
will
stand
behind
our
position
and
we
will
stand
shoulder
to
shoulder
with
this
commission
and
city
council
to
protect
the
land
use
Integrity
of
this
particular
area.
W
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
have
Mr
Tim
Powell
come
up
and
testify
he'll
talk
about
the
land
use
planning
problems.
With
this
proposal
thereafter
we
will
have
Mr,
William
Oliver,
step
up
and
I'm
lucky
enough
to
have
any
additional
time.
I'll
come
up
for
some
closing
statements.
Otherwise,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
F
But
normally
we
don't
wave
time.
Excuse
me
see
time
to
another
speaker
if
you
have
remaining
minutes,
so
that
being
the
case,
gentlemen,
you
have
two
speaker
waiver
forms
in
front
of
me,
and
the
question
is:
who
wishes
to
speak?
First
I,
don't
believe
we
have
ever
combined
speaker
waiver
forms,
but.
Y
F
F
Be
done,
I
have
and
you
are
Mr
Powell.
Yes,
so
Mr
Powell
before
you
begin,
if
you
are
present,
please
say,
say
something:
if
I
can't
see
you
with
this
board
in
front
of
me,
Beth
rothbart
they're
at
Brent
Anderson,
here
Peter
Kelly,
here,
Trevor
biswas
I
can't
make
out
the
name.
Is
it
estinov
Cirque
somebody
on
328?
Is
the
street
address?
What's
the
name
you.
Z
F
A
T
F
W
F
F
F
F
F
F
Y
According
to
the
current
submitted
plan,
my
land
use
planning
report
detailing
All,
City
and
Planning
Commission
planning
and
land
use
criteria
that
this
rezoning
is
to
comply
with
as
well
as
my
CV
was
submitted
to
city
council
prior
to
this
hearing
summarizing
my
findings
with
these
three
following
core
planning
issues.
First
is
Harbor
Islands
plan
development,
Harbor
Island
consists
of
two
existing
distinctly
different,
physically
defined
land
use,
communities
or
districts,
both
under
the
same
comp
plan
designation
of
rmu
100.
Y
The
Planning
Commission
has
failed
to
acknowledge
the
validity
of
the
Southern
residential
district
by
simply
justifying
their
findings
of
consistent
with
the
comp
plan,
as
stated
in
the
May
12
2022
public
hearing
and
I'm,
quoting
from
the
transcript
from
that
hearing
the
whole,
and
they
said
the
whole
island
is
planned
for
high
intensity.
Mixed
use,
development
I
go
on
with
their
statement.
The
Planning
Commission
did
find
that
the
proposed
rezoning
is
comparable
and
compatible
with
the
surrounding
surrounding
neighborhood
and
consistent
with
the
underlying
future
land
use
designation.
Y
So
it
began
and
ended
their
consistent
determination
with
the
fact
that
the
entire
island
is
zoned.
Rmu
100.,
the
city
implanting
commission
planners
rely
on
the
comp
plan's
generalized
designation
of
rmu
100,
failing
to
acknowledge
how
the
Harbor
Island
plan
development
has
evolved
since
1987
and
that
the
rmu
100
provides
a
ceiling
density
for
the
residential
Community
south
of
nitron
Avenue.
So
many
times
over
my
50
years
of
experience
I've
been
told
by
the
planners.
Well,
that's
the
ceiling,
that's
the
maximum!
You
can
go
very
rarely.
Y
Do
you
ever
get
to
go
to
the
maximum,
but
that's
how
they
justify
to
being
consistent?
The
second
issue
was
Knights
run
Avenue,
referring
to
the
before
photos,
since
1987
Knights
run,
Avenue
was
designed
and
utilized
as
a
physical
demarcation
of
land
uses
and
I
respectfully
disagree
with
Mr
Kramer.
It
is
a
significant
physical
barrier.
Y
You
have
those
significant
Street
physical
barriers
throughout
this
city,
where
you
have
office
on
one
side
and
you
have
residential
on
the
other
side,
so
a
Welcome
Center
was
constructed
on
the
subject:
property
in
the
residential
communities
it
promoted
had
limited
access
and
entryway
Gates
were
installed
south
of
knights,
run
Avenue.
The
most
important
issue
is
incompatibility
and
here
I'm
going
to
make
sure
I've
emphasize
that
referring
to
the
again
to
the
ground
level.
Before
and
after
photographic
betrayals,
the
Tampa
comp
plan
further
defines
compatibility,
and
now
this
is
from
your
city,
comp
plan.
Y
Y
I
am
stating
for
the
record
that
the
proposed
building
at
this
location
is
not
compatible
due
to
and
I'm
going
to
use
the
same
words
as
in
your
comp
plan
definition
and
compatibility
due
to
its
height,
its
scale,
mass
and
bulk
of
structures,
pedestrian
or
vehicular
traffic,
circulation
access
and
parking
impact,
and
one
thing
that
was
failed
to
mention
is
he
he
referred
to
some
other
multi-story
building
south
of
nitron
Avenue.
Tell
me
which
one
were
commercial
land
use,
see.
That's
the
big
difference.
All
the
multi-story
buildings,
south
of
knights,
run
Avenue
are
residential.
Y
AA
Item
two
allow
the
integration
of
different
land
uses
and
densities
in
one
development
which
encourage
compatibility
in
overall
site
design
and
scale,
both
internal
and
external
to
the
project
site.
The
applicant's,
Narrative
States.
The
hotel
is
compatible
with
the
surrounding
high-rise
development
pattern.
However,
all
of
the
applicants
reference
land
uses
are
at
or
to
the
North
East
Northwest
and
north
of
knights
run
in
their
application.
The
applicant's
Narrative
has
defined
all
of
Harbor
Island
as
this
community,
disregarding
the
land
use.
AA
Differentiation
between
the
resident,
neutral,
neighborhood,
south
of
knights,
run
Avenue
and
the
large-scale
high-rise
bourbon
development
north
of
nitron
Avenue.
In
our
opinion,
the
proposed
commercial
land
use
is
incompatible
with
the
defined
residential
Community
south
of
knights,
run
and
item
six
promote
and
encourage
development
where
I've,
appropriate
and
location
character
and
compatibility
with
the
surrounding
impacted,
neighborhoods
built
environment
and
existing
geography.
The
rezoning
is
not
appropriately
located,
not
in
character
and
not
not
compatible
with
surrounding
existing
residential
scaled
neighborhoods
located
south
of
knights

neighborhood
association
to
review
the
proposed
Hotel
development
Mr
Powell
indicated
compatibility
is
the
key
issue.
He
read
the
city's
definition
of
compatibility
which
addresses
pedestrian
and
vehicular
traffic
circulation
access
and
parking
impacts
as
key
issues.
AC
The
applicant's
traffic
study
merely
showed
that
the
adjacent
intersection
can
accommodate
the
peak
hour
traffic
and
has
not
addressed
compatibility
issues.
Traffic
compatibility
should
be
assessed
in
at
least
four
dimensions,
including
the
ones
you
see
here,
the
quantity,
the
type
the
time
of
day,
the
days
of
the
week
that
traffic
is
generated
so
in
terms
of
the
quantity
of
traffic.
AC
My
fingers
are
too
dry.
The
applicant's
traffic
study
or
and
the
presentation
they
made
during
a
prior
hearing
said
that
the
am
and
pmpgar
trips
are
comparable
well
table.
Four
in
his
own
report
indicates
that
in
the
am
the
proposed
Hotel
generates
12.6
times
the
number
of
trips
that
the
existing
office
building
does
and
in
the
PM
7.4
times
as
much
to
me,
that's
not
comparable.
I
think
you
would
agree.
AC
Secondly,
the
types
of
traffic
that
are
generated
at
a
hotel,
you're
dealing
with
service,
Vehicles,
shuttles,
Uber,
Lyft,
taxi
rental,
cars
staff
vehicles
and
so
forth
in
an
office
building.
Well,
you
do
require
some
of
those
services,
but
certainly
not
at
the
level
and
frequency
of
a
hotel
and
a
hotel
generates
much
more
pedestrian
traffic
than
an
office
building.
Would
the
hotel
would
generate
more
transient
traffic,
that's
less
familiar
than
an
office.
AC
An
office
would
attract
the
same
people
day
in
day
out,
and
they
would
become
very
familiar
with
the
road
Network
the
time
of
day
that
traffic
is
generated.
This
graph
illustrates
the
trip
generating
characteristics
by
indicating
the
percentage
of
the
daily
traffic
that
occurs
in
each
hour
of
the
day
for
residential
office
and
a
business
Hotel
use
in
the
evening
hours
when
residential
uses
are
quieting
down.
The
black
line
is
the
residential
land
use
an
office
is
virtually
silent.
That's
the
green
line.
AC
A
hotel,
on
the
other
hand,
is
indicated
by
the
red
lines
and
it
the
hotel
generates
its
highest
hourly
traffic
volumes
in
the
evening.
That's
not
compatible
with
a
neighborhood
the
days
of
the
week.
It's
a
similar
graph,
the
residentials,
the
black
the
office
is
green.
The
hotel's
in
red
on
Saturday
and
Sunday
an
office
building
is
dormant
compared
to
weekday
traffic.
A
business
Hotel,
on
the
other
hand,
generates
more
traffic
on
a
Saturday
and
a
Sunday
than
on
weekdays.
AC
Guest
traffic
comes
in
for
weddings
hockey,
games,
holidays
conventions,
That
You,
Don't
See
at
an
office
building.
In
addition,
a
waiver
is
to
the
parking
requirement
is
being
sought
that
facilitates
the
reduction
in
Building
height,
I've
reviewed
the
technical
justification
statement
provided
by
the
applicant
and
the
cited
support
information.
The
statement
contains
a
lot
of
rhetoric,
but
no
technical
justification.
That's
required
by
your
codes.
There
was
no
quantitative
data
that
would
support
the
25
reduction
in
parking.
AC
One
of
the
articles
that
the
applicant
cites
can
includes
this
concluding
statement,
which
says
a
lot
of
words,
but
it
outlines
11
different
issues
that
should
be
considered
when
looking
at
a
parking
reduction.
This
is
a
lot
of
words
that
basically
says
don't
use
this
article
to
support
any
particular
parking
variance
request.
AC
The
applicant
has
not
provided
any
local
technical
support,
addressing
the
11
issues
that
this
article
cites
that
would
justify
to
what
extent
parking
could
be
waived.
The
ite
parking
rate
that
they
reference
in
their
justification
would
represent
an
average
observed
parking
rate
of
parking
spaces
per
room
not
and
is
not
design
guidance
to
accommodate
Peak
demands.
AC
Finally,
access
to
the
site
provides
a
challenge.
Transient,
Hotel
guests
won't
be
as
familiar
with
the
roads
as
those
who
would
regularly
drive
to
an
office
building.
Those
arriving
from
the
East
will
have
to
make
a
u-turn
at
a
four-way
stop
intersection
where
the
two
Crossing
roads
are
both
four-lane
roads.
This
is
an
unusual
condition.
You
just
don't
encounter
a
four-way
stop
at
the
intersection
of
two
four-lane
roads.
Very
often
roadway
safety
is
based
on
consistency
and
predictability
of
environment,
and
an
unusual
Road
configuration
for
unfamiliar
drivers
contributes
to
potential
confusion
which
detracts
from
safety.

Good
evening
my
name
is
Vernon,
alinger
I
have
been
sworn
and
for
disclosure,
I
am
a
Harbor
Island
resident
and
a
member
of
two
HOA
boards.
It's
really
unfortunate
that
we're
back
in
front
of
you
I
think
if
the
applicant
truly
built
a
boutique
hotel,
which
is
50
rooms.
There
probably
wouldn't
be
anybody
here
tonight,
but
we
are
here.
The
Council
made
the
correct
decision
in
balancing
the
rights
of
the
developer
and
the
rest
of
the
city.
Last
time
you
got
it
right,
there's
no
reason
to
change.
AD
The
that
change
that
plan
has
implemented
and
that
there's
a
Doctrine
called
change
conditions
doctrine
that
gives
the
city
council
the
absolute
right
to
recognize
this
reality
and
deny
this
request
and
another
point
in
mediation.
It
was
pointed
out
that
there's
no
way
for
eastbound
Hotel
traffic
to
turn
left
into
the
hotel,
forcing
a
U-turn
that
was
just
described
and
I
would
point
out
to
you
here.
AD
Look
where
that
U-turn
would
be
right
out
in
the
middle
of
that
intersection
and
that's
truly
unacceptable
and
right
now
we're
almost
a
Face-Off
for
the
lightning
imagine
how
much
traffic
has
just
gone
through
the
intersection
by
the
convention
center.
Every
car
that
has
a
GPS
is
going
to
be
directed
around
that
to
the
East
Gate.
If
they
were
going
to
this
hotel,
they
would
go
to
the
east
gate
and
they
would
have
to
do
that.
U-Turn
and
that's
just
not
acceptable
the
at
the
mediation
the
developer
said.
Well,
that's
not
our
problem.
AD
I
do
agree
with
the
developer.
It's
not
his
problem,
it's
your
problem
and
my
problem
and
all
of
our
problem,
and
we
just
can't
allow
that
dangerous
activity
through
that
intersection.
You
know,
I
saw
the
plaintiff
cited
in
their
filing
or
the
legal
brief.
His
cites
and
even
quotes
members
of
the
public
in
support
of
the
filing
I
have
disclosed
my
connections
to
the
HOAs.
AD
A
AE
AE
If
this
does
not
get
approved,
I
can
assure
you
that
the
people
who
get
denied
will
not
take
no
for
an
answer
and
utilize
monetary
amount.
Again,
I
can
say
for
certain
that
the
majority
of
residences
on
Harbor
Island
are
against
this
building
of
this
hotel
and
anytime.
There
is
a
city
council
meeting
regarding
this
hotel.
We
will
be
here
until
this
project
is
shut
down
for
good.
AE
It
is
dangerous
for
the
safety
of
the
people
who
live
on
Harbor
Island,
and
it
will
completely
impact
and
slow
and
already
slow
traffic
pattern
in
the
heart
of
a
hard
round.
City
council
I
urge
you
to
shut
down
this
project
once
again
and
how
many
other
times
they
might
come
at
you
with
another
angle
or
remove
another
five
hotel
rooms.
That
is
a
measly
amount.
AE
The
number
of
rooms
previously
was
150.
now
to
be
being
proposed
to
145.
I
guarantee
if
this
gets
denied
once
again,
they'll
come
at
you
with
140
and
so
on,
and
so
on.
I
also
wanted
to
apologize
for
us
having
to
be
here
again
because
it
should
have
been
shut
down.
The
first
time
for
good
and
Liberty
Group
should
accept
no
as
an
answer.
Thank
you.
AF
I
was
here
previously
and
spoke
and
spoke
about
my
concerns
or
concerns
really
about
emergency
vehicles
getting
through.
We
already
have
a
lot
of
traffic
going
on
it's
it's
pretty
crazy
down
there,
especially
when
there's
games
conventions,
all
sorts
of
things
and
all
those
happening
at
one
time.
So
we've
been
very
concerned
about
emergency
vehicles
being
able
to
access
the
time
that
it
would
take.
We
did
move
to
Harbor
Island
for
the
ACT,
close
proximity
to
Tampa
General
Hospital,
for
my
parents,
as
well
as
the
security
there.
AF
So
that's
a
big
concern
of
ours
and
I
have
spoken
to
other
people
who
are
the
emergency
response,
Founders
for
our
area,
and
they
said
that
they
have
requested
resources,
more
resources
to
take
care
of
the
area
down
there
with
the
tremendous
growth
that's
been
going
on.
So
just
wanted
to
talk
about
that
and
then
also
you
know,
we
we
felt
like
the
people
in
Harbor
Island
were
related
after
the
last
decision
was
made.
We
felt
like
we
had
been
heard.
We
were
really
excited
and
I
thought.
AF
Okay,
that's
another
thing:
we
don't
have
to
worry
about,
we
could
take
off
our
plates
and
then
it
was
like
a
punch
in
the
gut
when
we
found
out
that
we
were
going
to
have
to
come
back
up
here
again
and
do
this.
But
you
know
my
mom
mentioned
something
the
other
day
and
we
were
driving
over
the
bridge.
AF
We
were
coming
back
from
Bayshore
and
fighting
all
the
traffic
and
you
come
up
over
the
bridge
and
there's
people
crossing
and
scooters
and
bicycles,
I
mean
it's:
it's
chaotic
at
times
it's
very
exciting,
but
it's
chaotic.
Then
you
come
up
to
Jackson's
and
there's
traffic
going
in
and
out
of
there
people
don't
know
where
they're
going,
but
you
passed
Jackson's
and
you
come
to
the
stop
at
night's
run
and
it's
like
we're
in
our
neighborhood
again
like
here
we
are,
you
can
see
the
neighborhood
in
front
of
us.
AF
You
know
the
gates
are
right:
there,
yes,
they're,
not
right
on
Knights
run,
but
as
I
already
mentioned,
that
they're
not
there,
because
otherwise
the
traffic
going
through
security
gate
would
run
into
Knights,
run
and
then
the
road,
so
that
is
our
community.
That's
our
neighborhood!
From
that
point
on
you
look,
you
see
the
Athletic
Club,
there's
two
Marquees
one
on
each
side
that
say
welcome
to
Harbor
Island.
This
is
Harbor
Island
you're
in
the
community
of
Harbor
Island
now
and
to
have
some
big
extended
stay
hotel.
AF
My
mom
was
like
I
can't
even
imagine
something
like
that
being
here
at
this
spot.
It
would
just
it's
so
out
of
place,
and
you
know
and
I
said
I
feel
the
same
way.
I
feel
the
same
way
when
I
come
over
that
bridge
entering
our
neighborhood.
It's
a
relief
when
we
get
to
the
other
side
there
to
think
that,
then
now
we'll
have
to
deal
with
all
the
other
chaoticness.
That
would
happen
with
construction
first
of
all
and
then
moving
forward
with
the
actual
Hotel.
It's
very
disconcerting.
E
AG
Hi,
my
name
is
Trevor
biswas
I
live
on
Harbor,
Island
and
I
have
been
sworn
in
here,
so
we've
heard
it
all
before
traffic
issues,
Liberty
groups,
owners,
leaving
Harbor
Island
and
doesn't
have
to
deal
with
set
traffic
issues
or
the
construction.
It's
not
a
true
Boutique
Hotel,
the
developer
knew
the
land
was
zoned
for
when
he
bought
it.
AG
You
can
put
God
knows
how
many
hotels
and
once
again,
it's
five
steps
from
Amelie
Five
Steps
from
the
convention
center,
or
even
that
no
one
has
mentioned
airbnbs
as
an
option
to
anything.
God
knows
how
many
of
those
are
I,
don't
know
if
we
get
taxes
for
it
different
story.
Let's
talk
about
something
that
hasn't
been
talked
about.
AG
AH
AG
Lake
Eola
St
Pete
has
a
Sunshine
Skyway.
What
do
we
have?
We've
got
some
great
things
here,
like
the
minarets
on
top
of
a
plant
University
of
Tampa
right
Sykes
building.
We
got
a
lot
of
river
walks
all
over
the
country,
Armature
work
they've
had
in
other
parts
of
the
country.
We
have
Harbor
Island,
it's
what
makes
our
boat
parades
world
famous
and
our
gas
bullet
parade
is
amazing.
It
brings
tourists
into
Tampa
and
it
is
our
Skyline.
It
is
becoming
identity.
AG
Tampa
is
not
what
it
was
when
I
moved
here
almost
20
years
ago,
it's
become
amazing,
I
left
Seattle,
and
if
you
want
to
have
a
boat
parade
around
a
bunch
of
buildings,
that's
Manhattan,
that's
Seattle,
that's
not
Tampa!
So
I'm
almost
done
just
one
last
thing:
the
developer
we've
heard
of
a
Dell
developer
in
the
past.
They
don't
always
have
the
city's
best
interests
in
the
heart.
Sparkman
Wharf
could
have
been
prevented.
Had
a
certain
developer
won
their
lawsuit
a
couple
years
ago.
AG
AH
AH
South
of
that
is
an
oasis
of
trees,
green
spaces
and
crime-free
zones
over
there
is
the
city
here
is
Suburbia.
It
works
great,
as
is
the
law
in
question,
is
south
of
that
median?
Why
on
Earth,
would
we
ever
want
this
hotel
on
our
bourbon
doorstep?
The
residents
will
inherit
absolutely
zero
upside.
Just
a
giant
party
package
of
inconvenience,
noise,
light
stench,
construction
and
traffic.
It's
too
much
on
too
small
a
lot
it's
out
of
place
and
aesthetically
it
doesn't
fit.
It's
like
standing
a
cruise
ship
vertically
on
a
single
family
home
lot.
AH
They
put
plenty
they've
got
plenty
of
money.
There's
plenty
of
space,
downtown,
put
the
thing
somewhere
else,
just
not
on
our
doorstep.
Harbor
Island
is
not
downtown
and
it's
not
Channelside.
No
more
than
Davis
Island,
no
more
than
High
Park.
It's
a
residential
neighborhood
and
a
beautiful
one.
At
that.
Liberty
also
argued
that
high
and
low
Rises
coexist
beautifully
on
Bayshore
Boulevard,
but
big
difference.
The
people
in
those
high-rises
are
permanent
residents
in
top
dollar
Condominiums.
The
people
we're
talking
about
here
are
transient
Travelers
in
a
low
budget
hotel.
AH
They
won't
care
about
our
neighborhood
and
they
never
will
Bayshore
wouldn't
want
this
Norwood
Davis.
If
this
ruling
goes
Liberty's
way,
it'll
be
something
that
cannot
be
undone
it'll,
be
a
glowing
example
of
throwing
the
wishes
of
thousands
of
tax
paying
residents
under
the
truck
for
what
amounts
to
be
nothing
more
than
one
small
company
and
one
man's
12-story
cash
machine.

Why
the
decision
the
city
council
made
on
voting
down
the
rezoning
of
the
property
was
made
because
of
a
clear
demarcation
line
that
still
exists.
Besides
the
two-story
Harbor

Athletic
Club,
there
is
nothing
south

is

when
it
was
robbed
20
years
ago.
I
kid
you
not
I
I,
just
I
hope
that
you
will
ratify
your
previous
decision.
AJ
That
is,
you
know,
people
the
Articles
say
behind
the
Gates
and
everybody
speaks
derogatorily
about
behind
the
Gates.
My
husband
was
a
former
prosecutor
and
you
better
believe
we
were
behind
the
Gates.
That
was
our
protection.
That
was
our
security
and
still
is
so.
I
hope
that
you
will
protect
our
neighborhood
and
ratify
your
prior
decision.
Thank
you,
ladies.
AK
City
council
good
evening
appreciate
your
patience
and
your
Indulgence.
My
name
is
Leo
rothbarth
I've
been
sworn
in.
I
reside
at
344
inner
harbor
circle,
I'm,
a
relative
newbie
been
here
seven
years.
What
is
undeniable
is
that
we
would
all
agree
in
seven
years.
The
traffic
has
gotten
out
of
hand,
the
congestion
has
gotten
out
of
hand,
and
we
can
debate
the
whys
and
where
Force
I'm
a
physician.
AK
My
concern
is:
it
is
now
commonplace
to
wait,
30
minutes
or
longer,
frequently
longer,
if
there's
any
event,
much
less
to
to
get
off
the
island
or
on
the
island.
There's
a
lot
of
people
that
live
on
the
island,
there's
kids,
that
live
on
the
island
and
there
is
no
guarantee
for
tomorrow.
What
we
can
expect
is
people
will
get
ill
potentially
seriously
ill.
There
will
be
accidents
that
befall
our
children.
How
are
the
EMS
going
to
get
there
in
reasonable
time
and
get
you
know
into
the
island?
AK
Much
less
egress
and
get
the
patient
to
the
hospital
in
time
for
care
and
I
would
also
submit
that.
Given
the
discussion
about
the
legal
matters,
you
know
the
a
wrongful
death
suit.
Florida
is
unfortunately,
rather
litigious.
It's
ugly,
we
all
hate
it,
but
it's
something
we
have
to
live
with
and
I
think
that
would
be
tragic,
that
somebody
would
pursue
that,
but
it
would
happen.
I
just
think
it
would
and
it's
a
safety
concern
above
and
beyond
everything
else.
AK
Z
Z
If
this
hotel
were
to
be
built,
it
would
establish
a
precedent
that
would
ruin
Harbor,
Island's,
Ambiance
and
residential
appeal
by
opening
the
door
for
developers
to
create
a
concrete
Canyon
on
Knights
run,
Avenue
I
say
no
to
creating
a
concrete
Canyon
and
no
to
this
totally
incompatible.
Development.
I
want
to
be
clear.
I
am
not
entirely
opposed
to
having
Liberty
Group
build
a
hotel
at
that
site.
Z
So
I
know
a
thing
or
two
about
what
companies
look
for
when
going
through
the
highly
complex
and
competitive
site
selection
process.
Talent
consistently
tops
the
criteria
list.
Many
factors
contribute
to
the
marketability
of
a
city
to
attract
and
retain
top
talent,
but
the
ones
that
stand
out
are
the
ones
that
distinguish
a
community
from
the
competition
Liberty
groups
proposed
Hotel
would
do
absolutely
nothing
except
add
to
traffic
woes
to
enhance
Tampa's
uniqueness.
Z
Z
Charming
personality,
I,
look
at
Liberty
Group
and
it's
team
of
impressive
and
knowledgeable
professionals
involved
in
this
project
and
wonder
how
can
such
an
accomplished
group
and
Marriott
Corporation
settle
for
mediocrity
for
our
beloved
City.
The
building's
design
does
not
reflect
a
scintilla
of
Harbor
Island's
lifestyle.
If
anything,
it
would
negatively
affect
Harbor
Island's
lifestyle.
Z
AL
Hi
there,
my
name
is
Donovan
Pullen
I
own
eight
properties
on
Harbor
Island,
I
specialize
in
renting
to
young
families
with
young
children
who
want
to
have
their
children
walk
to
the
school
bus,
attend
good
schools
and
have
their
kids
run
around
in
the
safety
of
an
area
that
is
safe,
Mr
Shaw.
If
you
look
at
me.
AL
Mr
Shaw
is
stealing
the
value
of
these
people
by
buying
a
property
in
2016,
then
using
strong
arm
to
have
it
rezoned
to
take
away
the
value
of
the
other
property
people
owners
on
that
same
area
so
that
they
can
line
their
pockets
with
corporate
greed.
That's
what
this
is
all
about.
It's
about
money,
stuffing
their
pockets
full
of
money
at
the
expense
of
other
people's,
not
to
make
it
better.
So
these
kids
that
are
walking
to
the
school
buses
now
have
to
walk
by
their
bloody
Hotel.
AL
AL
Those
kids
have
to
walk
by
that
every
day
with
traffic
when
they
talk
about
the
people
coming
back
from
Emily
Arena,
yes,
they'll
be
coming
back
at
11
o'clock,
12
O'clock
one
o'clock
in
the
morning,
drunk
walking
up
and
down
that
street
screaming
by
Parkcrest,
making
a
hell
of
a
loud
noise
which
you
already
have
problems
with.
I
live
in
the
plaza
I
live
in
the
North
side
of
450.
I
own
properties.
In
the
South
Side,
there
was
a
clear
demarcation
for
that
property
to
be
green
zone.
AL
Imagine
if
New
York,
Central
Park
if
the
developers
had
their
way
that
line
that
defines
the
borders
they'd
be
totaling
on
one
side
and
oh,
let's
just
put
another
tall
building
on
the
other
side.
Oh,
let's
just
put
one
more
because
the
one
next
to
it
is
the
same.
There's
absolute
BS!
You
guys
have
the
power
to
stop
this
I'm,
not
against
the
shores,
doing
the
development
they're
doing
with
the
silos
that
they're
trying
to
do
with
the
wharf.
That
makes
sense.
AL
AM
AM
This
plot
of
land
is
not
the
right
place
for
this
hotel
I
moved
to
Harbor
Island
20
years
ago
for
the
Serene
setting
to
be
so
close
to
the
urban
core
of
downtown,
and
it's
gotten
so
busy.
You
know
I
missed
the
days
of
more
quiet,
but
I'm
happy
for
our
growth,
but
a
hotel
is
just
like
we've
said
before:
it's
not
compatible.
AM
Our
side
of
knights
run
is
not
high
rise,
the
other
side
is
high-rise,
Plaza
and
all
those
other
high-rise
buildings
are
already
creating
a
lot
of
traffic
and
the
hotel
will
even
make
it
worse.
For
those
people
that
are
in
those
buildings,
we
have
at
least
12
hotels
and
probably
a
one
mile
radius
from
Amelie
Convention,
Center
Etc
and
multiple
of
them
are
Marriotts.
AM
The
Marriott
they
want
to
build
is
a
select
Marriott,
whereas
the
JW
and
Waterside
are
all
premium
and
luxury,
and
we
were
sold
initially
on
luxury
and
boutique,
which
we
are
not
getting
and
that
it
was
going
to
be
for
the
residents.
There
are
no
amenities
in
that
hotel
that
will
serve
our
residents.

Our

Dr
Robert
Madeline
I
live
at
903
Marine
away
on
Harbor

I've
been
sworn
in.
I
asked
you
to
vote
against
a
zoning
request,
change
by
The
Liberty
Group
for
this
hotel,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
myself
and
four
other
family
members
who
are
all
registered
voters
at
this
address
this
hotel.
Some
of
this
is
redundant
I
apologize.
AN
I
have
attended
every
meeting
and
webinar
on
this
hotel.
There
are
paid
staffers
said
that
it
would
not
increase
traffic
more
than
that
rarely
used
Bank
building.
That
was
that
was
there
previously
I.
Don't
believe
that
to
compare
that
bank
to
145
room
24-hour
hotel
with
a
restaurant
meetings,
suppliers
Waste,
Management
Etc
is
incorrect.
AN
We
have
seen
many
changes
in
and
around
the
area,
but
we
feel
that
none
will
be
more
detrimental
to
life
on
Harbor
Island
in
this
hotel
it
will
not
benefit
the
thousands
of
residents
of
Harbor
Island
will
be
harmful
to
them.
The
developer
has
purchased
a
small
lot

wants
to
maximize

Good
evening
my
name
is
Tim
sponsler
I
am
the
vice
president
of
lodging
development
for
Marriott
International
I.
Just
have
a
couple
comments.
Tonight.
I
watched
and
listened
to
the
first
hearing,
as
well
as
being
here
tonight
and
with
having
30
Brands
within
Marriott
I,
can
understand
why
it
gets
a
bit
confusing
about
what
this
AC
hotel
brand
is
all
about.
Let
me
just
say
and
start
with
what
it's
not
it's,
not
the
big
convention
Hotel,
like
you,
have
with
the
JW
Marriott.
AO
AO
Every
AC
is
unique
and
it's
exterior
and
in
public
space
in
order
to
fit
into
the
neighborhood
into
the
community
matter
of
fact,
we
have
200
open
around
the
world.
65
percent
of
their
competitors
are
Boutique
or
luxury
hotels,
so
it
sort
of
fits
from
that
hybrid
in
the
middle
now
The
Branding
of
this
hotel
is
not
just
something
a
whim.
It's
not
speculative
Mary
is
very
fortunate.
We
have
a
strong
presence
in
this
city
throughout
the
metropolitan
area,
with
30
Brands.
We
have
a
lot
of
choices.
AO
We
have
a
lot
of
fantastic
owners,
including
Liberty.
We
have
worked
with
them.
They
have
collaborated
with
us
to
create
a
unique
hotel
that
can
fit
into
what
we
believe
into
the
fabric
of
this
community
and
yes,
it
is
designed
for
those
who
are
local
for
their
friends
and
family
to
stay
to
come
over,
have
a
drink
have
a
bite
to
eat,
but
it
is
not
the
big
convention
Hotel.
AO
AP
Good
evening
my
name
is
Susan
Doyle
I
live
at
948,
Hemingway,
Circle
and
I've
been
sworn
in
and
I'm
trying
to
limit
my
time
so
I
wrote
everything
down.
I
also
spoke
at
the
May
12th
meeting
and
anyway,
I
speak
on
behalf
of
my
husband
and
daughter,
who
are
also
registered.
Voters
I'm
very
disappointed
to
actually
be
here,
like
others
who
have
said
tonight.
AP
You
know
it
I'm
wondering
about
the
message
it
sends
not
just
to
the
Charlie
tobins
but
to
to
other
developers
and
other
residents
of
Harbor
Island
when
someone
can
maneuver
a
mediation
and
threaten
a
lawsuit
and
get
another
hearing.
Six
months
later,
I'm,
not
a
politically
naive
person,
either
I
understand
that
these
things
happen,
but
at
the
same
time
they're
not
be
happening
with
a
lot
of
transparency.
AP
You've
heard
from
our
experts,
so
I
do
not
want
to
be
redundant
to
their
expert
opinions.
Clearly,
this
hotel
is
not
compatible
with
a
residential
character
of
our
community
and
it
threatens
the
safety
and
livability
of
the
nearby
2000
residents.
Our
community
serves
several
public
schools
in
the
area
and
school
buses
arrive
at
the
gate
at
least
four
times
a
day
and
those
children
and
the
parents
who
wait
for
them
in
cars.
Okay,
their
their
safety,
will
be
at
risk.
If
this
transient
type
hotel
is
allowed
less
than
a
block
away.
AP
AP
We
welcome
the
Riverwalk,
we
welcome
Water
Street
and
we
welcomed
the
complete
overhaul
of
Amelie
and
now
the
convention
center,
and
even
more
probably
coming
you
are
our
ombudsman
serving
to
protect
the
city
residents
and
our
communities,
and
you
did
so
on.
May
12th,
you
protected
us
and
you
protected
future
development.
That's
incompatible
once
again,
I
ask
you
to
do
the
right
thing.

you
for
your

Good
evening

in.
I

Jason

John

For
over
30
years,
we
would
like
to
express
our
support
for
Liberty
Group
and
their
AC
Hotel
development
in
Harbor

we've
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
Liberty

for
many
years
on
several
of
their
local
projects.
AR
Most
recently,
the
Dual
brand
at
Hilton
and
Channelside,
mind
you

other
densely
populated
residential
area.
Liberty
Group
is
known
for
high
quality
developments,
with
an
emphasis
on
sustainability
and
Community
lifestyle
and
has
always
considered
the
surrounding
Community
within
each
development
design.
AR
AR

This
is
a
hotel,
a
boutique
in
nature.
We
strongly
believe
this
design
is
exactly
what
the
area
needs
to
support,
not
only
the
current
and
but
future
growth
with
the
hotels,
Boutique
nature
aligning
with
the
surrounding
community
to
deny
this
type
of
project
would
not
only
stunt
our
City's

would
also
discourage

E
E
AS
Councilman
I,
don't
want
to
repeat
myself
but,
as
you
heard
from
all
the
residents,
I
think
the
major
concern
I
have,
along
with
others,
is
traffic
and
safety.
As
a
practicing
physician
I
moved
to
Tampa
about
10
years
ago,
and
I
chose
Harbor
Island
as
a
single
mother,
with
a
nine-year-old
mainly
for
safety
reason.
I
would
get
called
into
the
hospital
and
I
felt
safe.
AS
AS
It
has
taken
me
lately
about
30
minutes
with
a
new
development
of
the
American
Social
and
many
times
on
Friday
evening
when
I'm
on
call
I
can't
even
leave
from
my
home
to
the
hospital
because
of
traffic
condition
even
coming
today.
I
was
30
minutes
late
because
of
the
Lightning
game
and
I
have
to
actually
go
through
Channel
Drive
and
come
around
to
make
it.
AU
Good
evening
my
name
is
Mike
Gratz
and
I
live
at
935,
Harbor
Bay,
Drive
I
haven't
sworn
in.
I
am
the
President
of
the
Harbor
Island
Community
Service
Association
for
the
record.
Recently,
this
association
with
members
from
the
north-south
in
commercial
properties
had
voted
unanimously
against
this
project.
It
is
on
record
as
I
presented
last
time.
The
area
that
uses
Knights
run
is
95
percent
residential.
It's
made
up
of
10
neighborhoods
to
the
north
and
11
neighborhoods
to
the
south.
In
addition
to
my
duties
as
hixa
I'm.
Also
a
hotel
developer.
AU
I
was
here
two
weeks
before,
where
we
received
unanimous
approval
for
a
hotel
outside
mcdill
air
force
base
and
the
neighbors
were
unanimously
for
this
hotel.
I
can
say
a
few
things
about
this
hotel
from
experience.
Mr
sponsor
can
speak
to
the
fact
that
in
2001
our
Marriott
brand
Hotel
was
named
Nationwide
opening
Hotel
of
the
year.
For
that
brand.
With
respect
to
this
hotel
and
is
not
a
boutique
hotel,
it
is
an
AC
Hotel.
It's
in
an
urban
area
with
rooms,
probably
less
than
300
square
feet.
AU
It
is
not
a
place
where
we
would
ever
place
a
hotel,
it's
too
close
to
residential
and
it
doesn't
fit
the
neighborhood
in
addition
to
the
jobs
that
were
talked
about.
These
are
people
are
going
to
have
to
commute
with
cars
or
unblocks
to
Harbor
Island,
adding
to
the
traffic.
It
is
not
providing
jobs
for
Harbor.
Island
residents.
I
appreciate
your
time
for
a
second
time
this
evening,
as
you
did
last
time
and
hope
that
you
will
vote
against
this
project.
Thank
you
very
much
here.

folks
like
the
applicant
and
I
understand
that
their
objective
is,
of
course,
to
get
a
maximized
return
on
investment,
and
so
what
I
would
like
to
talk
about
is
the
Alternatives
that
could
be
considered
instead
of
this
rather
ugly
hotel,
that,
as
everybody
said,
does
not
fit
in,
they
could
have
done
a
50-room
boutique
hotel
and
still
got
a
very
nice
return
on
investment.
What
they're
trying
to
do
right
now
is
an
oversized
return
on
investment.
AV
I
do
think
there
are
options
that
the
city
should
consider.
I
know
there
may
be
a
need
for
more
hotel
rooms,
but
this
is
the
wrong
place
for
it
on
Channel
Side,
which
is
actually
closer
easier,
has
more.
Restaurants
is
more
connected
to
Emily
to
the
convention
center.
That's
where
a
hotel
like
this
should
be.
AV
This
is
not
a
boutique
hotel,
it
is
not
in
Channelside.
It
is
being
proposed
in
a
residential
area,
so
I
do
want
to
just
talk
about
some
of
the
mischaracterization
I've
been
a
little
concerned
here.
The
first
thing
is
the
gates
were
not
moved
in
order
to
accommodate
commercial
development
like
this,
the
gates
were
moved
in
order
to
enable
residents
to
get
in
and
out
and
not
back
up
into
the
rest
of
the
traffic
flow,
so
to
say
that
it
was
done
in
order
for
future
development
is
absolute
rubbish.
AV
In
my
my
view,
I,
don't
think
that
the
traffic
impact
was
properly
assessed
and
I
do
think.
The
fact
that
it
was
paid
for
by
the
developer
is
a
conflict
of
interest.
I
understand
that's
a
normal
procedure,
but
when
you
have
a
developer
paying
for
a
traffic
study,
you're
going
to
get
what
you
get
I,
don't
think
it
considered
appropriately
Uber
Lyft
and
all
the
shared
cars
that
float
around
our
neighborhood
now
I
suspect
it
might
have
been
done
during
covert.
AV
It
was
certainly
done
a
couple
of
years
ago
when
traffic
counts
were
down
and
now
we're
experiencing
some
very
bad
traffic.
As
my
neighbors
have
said,
I
would
add
that
the
AC
Hotel
label
is
a
little
bit
of
a
red
herring,
because
that
is
not
what
you're
approving
here
you're
approving
over
a
hundred
rooms
in
a
hotel,
and
they
could
change
the
label
later
if
they
wanted
to
so
last,
I
just
want
to
say
that's
still
a
proposed
hotel.
AV
A
AW
Good
evening
councilman,
Council
councilwoman
and
my
name
is
Bruce,
farewell
and
I'm,
with
McKibben
hospitality
and
I'm.
Here
speaking
in
support
of
the
project
that
we're
discussing
there's
a
lot
of
topics
we
talk
about,
I.
Think
one
point
of
clarity
to
make
is
this
is
an
upscale
Hotel.
This
is
not
an
extended
stay
hotel.
It
is
not
a
motel.
It
will
charge
rates
that
will
attract
Quality
quality
guests.
That
will
partake
of
the
great
amenities
that
the
city
of
Tampa
has
put
available
to
all
of
us.
AW
It's
available
to
the
residents
of
Harbor
Island,
that's
one
of
the
great
parts
of
AC.
Is
we
build
amenities
that
can
be
partaken
from
the
residents
that
are
in
the
area?
We
want
that
most
hotels
want
to
have
a
mix
of
where
the
locals
are.
They
want
to
have
a
mix
of
locals
and
visitors.
It's
what
makes
hotels
great
I
want
to
I
want
to
attest
to
one
thing:
we
we
do
manage
a
number
of
locations
for
Liberty
today
that
was
actually
a
choice
by
the
family,
the
shaw
family.
AW
Just
about
a
year
ago,
they
used
to
manage
their
own
hotels,
they
chose
they
wanted
great
experiences
for
guests,
great
great
experiences
for
their
Associates,
and
so
they
asked
McKibben
to
partner
with
them,
and
so
today
we
do
that
and
I
can
tell
you
firsthand
that
Punit
Shaw
and
his
family
they
do
give
back
to
the
community.
They
do
care
about
their
Associates
McKibben
is
the
same.
We've
been
doing
business
in
the
greater
Tampa
area
for
nearly
30
years.
AW
We
are
developers,
we
are
owners.
Today
we
manage
over
13
hotels
in
the
greater
Tampa
Bay
area,
the
service
that
we
do.
We
give
hundreds
of
hours
and
literally
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
to
community
service,
because
we
care
we
even
have
something
we
do
for
our
Associates,
where,
if
they
give
their
own
time
and
they
register
it
with
this
particular
third-party
independent
group,
we
donate
dollars
of
our
foundation
money
for
the
hours
that
they
serve,
I
can
speak
firsthand.
AW
AW
So
I
would
recommend
the
approval
of
this
because
of
the
benefits
it
would
be
for
the
community,
because
you'd
be
speaking,
you'd,
be
showing
that
an
individual
like
Punit
Shaw
that
does
give
back
to
the
community
does
care
would
take
the
time
to
consider
the
impacts
that
this
hotel
would
have
on
all
parts
of
the
community
and
weigh
what
would
be
in
the
best
interest
of
it.
Thank
you.
AX
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
city
council,
my
name
is
Brian.
Taub
I
have
been
sworn
in,
I
reside
at
921,
Anchorage
Road
I
have
been
asked
by
several
residents
to
appear
here
this
evening,
because
I
am
in
a
unique
qualified
position
in
that
I
have
developed
two
communities
on
Harbor
Island
and
live
on
Harbor
Island,
so
I
am
sensitive
to
both
the
development
side
and
the
residential
side.
AX
AX
Part
of
the
reason
why
I've
done
that
is
because
I
listen
to
the
neighbors
and
the
sensitivity
to
the
neighborhood
I.
My
most
recent
project
that
I
completed
was
on
Bayshore
Boulevard,
called
The
Sanctuary.
That
property
was
previously
zoned
for
43
residences
and
I,
put
on
15
Condominiums
again,
because
I
listened
to
the
neighbors
and
the
residences
and
their
sensitivity.
AX
AX
AX
The
applicants
indicated
compatibility
was
dealing
with
mostly
height,
our
land
use
person
indicated
compatibility,
consists
of
many
other
areas
and
the
one
I
think
the
residents
are
most
concerned
about
is
intensity
of
that
much
space
on
that
size.
Property,
specifically
as
it
relates
to
traffic
the
amount
of
traffic
that
this
property
is
going
to
generate
both
vehicular
pedestrian,
create
concerns
for
safety
and
Welfare.
AX
I
can
tell
you
that
if
there's
a
145
rooms-
and
there
are
145
people
in
that
this
time
of
year,
when
the
weather
is
nice,
roughly
eight
months
a
year
when
the
weather's
nice
there's
going
to
be
a
145
pedestrians
going
from
there
to
the
convention
center-
and
it
was
pointed
out,
this
is
going
to
be
pedestrian
friendly.
It's
going
to
create
wonderful,
it
is
all
wonderful,
but
the
amount
of
pedestrians
that
are
going
to
be
conflicted
with
the
vehicular
traffic
coming
on
and
off
the
island
is
going
to
be
very
dangerous.
E
AY
My
name
is
Kathy
bramhalt
I
am
Executive
Vice,
President
of
of
sales
and
retention
for
condominium
Associates
I'm.
Here
today
on
behalf
of
the
owners
of
our
company
anad
Shaw,
who
is
no
relation
to
Punit
and
Sean
galeris.
We
have
managed
associations
on
Harbor
Island
for
over
20
years.
The
first
contract
we
signed
on
Harbor
Island
was
in
1999..
AY
We've
watched
the
island
grow
I've
been
personally
on
the
island
for
over
20
years
now,
myself
managing
and
we've
watched
the
island
grow
from
nothing
in
certain
areas
to
what
it
is
today,
a
beautiful,
unique
Island
that
is
cherished
by
the
owners
and
residents
that
live
and
work
on
that
island.
We
also
have
office
space,
we
lease
office
space
and
have
for
20
years
on
Harbor
Island,
actually
over
20
years,
our
office
building.
We
currently
have
wasn't
even
there
when
we
first
started
when
I
got
to
Harbor
Island
over
20
years
ago.
AY
AZ
BA
AZ
You
very
much
good
evening.
My
name
is
Guy
van
balen
I
have
been
sworn
in,
I
am
the
President
of
Harborside
homeowners
association
on
Harbor
Island,
as
well
as
the
vice
president
of
the
sna.
The
bigger
homeowners
association
I
spoke
here
several
months
ago
with
all
of
you
in
opposition.
So
I'm
not
going
to
repeat
myself.
I
wanted
to
show
you
this
picture
today,
because
we
all
are
familiar
with
photoshopping
and
social
networking
and
how
things
can
look
differently.
You've
seen
pictures
by
the
applicant,
the
petitioner
today.
AZ
I
also
have,
if
I,
if
this
will
show
up
this-
is
traffic
coming
off
the
island
at
approximately
6
20
or
6
42
on
October
21st,
a
non
lightning,
Day
game.
This
is
everything
imagine
on
a
Lightning
game
day
like
today,
as
well
as
putting
another
hotel
and
things
of
that
sort.
Just
how
bad
the
traffic's
going
to
be
I
wanted
something
that
hasn't
been
brought
up
tonight
that
I
wanted
to
bring
up,
which
I
did
last
time
is
the
construction.
AZ
If
you
remember
at
the
last
hearing,
the
petitioner
indicated
that
you
know
the
they
could
try
to
keep
the
construction
all
within
the
footprint.
That's
obviously
pretty
much
impossible.
We
see
how
construction
that
takes
up
the
roads.
They
said
that
the
construction
time
would
be
about
a
year
and
a
half.
So
just
imagine
what
we're
concerned
about
what
happens
after
the
hotel
is
built.
What
about
during
the
next
year
and
a
half
after
that?
Construction
has
done
that
the
parking
issue
is
huge.
AZ
We
already
have
a
problem
with
parking
on
the
island
outside
the
gates.
People
from
the
games
try
to
sneak
in
there
and
park
they're.
So
imagine
trying
to
come
up
with
additional
parking
for
those
that
are
short
staffed
by
the
lack
of
parking,
the
deficit
of
almost
25
percent
by
the
hotel.
We
know
that
this
is
going
to
have
an
adverse
effect
on
resonance
and
it's
not
compatible
with
that
particular
area
and
Mr
chairman.
AZ
You
indicated
what,
when
you
were
dealing
with
that
picture
earlier
today
with
the
yellow
and
whether
or
not
you
could
cut
off
that
one
Ingress
and
egress
area
by
the
hotel.
That's
also
the
entrance
for
the
Athletic
Club,
which
is
used
not
only
by
people
on
Harbor
Island,
but
people
all
over
Davis,
Island
and
also
in
South
Tampa
as
well.
So
you
would,
you
would
basically
hurt
what
is
otherwise
a
Cornerstone
of
that
area
as
well,
because
it's
a
tennis
and
and
health
club
with
regard
to
that
issue.

BC
BC
We
have
you
know
the
defense
representing
or
the
plaintiffs
whatever,
representing
that
this
is
a
boutique
hotel.
Well,
there's
a
boutique
hotel
going
up
in
Harbor,
sorry
in
in
in
the
excuse
me
in
in
another
area
of
Tampa,
where
we
have
boutique
hotels,
going
up
and
they're
like
36
units,
for
instance
the
heart
Hyde
Park
area.
BC
BC
One
of
the
things
we
have
to
look
at
is
the
false,
the
Apparently
false
Representatives
made
by
the
you
know,
Liberty
Hotel.
In
this
case.
What
have
they
done?
They've
shown
a
hotel
with
no
South
Gate,
with
no
access
to
the
Harbor
Island
Athletic
Club,
every
single
rendition
that
they'd
given
us
has
excluded
that
completely.
Thank
you.

In

Mickey,

have
been
sworn
in,
I
am
the
architect
on
this
project
and
I
reside
at
450.
Knights
run
Avenue
on
Harbor
Island,
after
as
a
licensed
architect
for
42
years
in
this
community
projects
are
never
easy,
and
this
is
this
one
is
not.
We
have
worked
very
hard
to
look
at
how
this
building
fits
on
this
site.
BD
When
we
do
these
graphics
and
we
drop
them
in
on
Google
Earth,
we
have
to
take
data
points
off
of
Google
Earth
and
we
take
those
data
points
that
are
provided
by
that
for
the
scale
and
the
size
of
what
the
streets
are
and
the
site,
and
we
drop
that
into
our
three-dimensional
model
in
Revit.
So
everything
we
do
is
completely
100
accurate
of
how
the
building
sits
on
the
site.
BD
The
images
you
are
given
are
out
of
scale,
they're,
misleading
and
they're
completely
inaccurate,
and
they
don't
represent
what
we're
really
doing.
I
have
to
maintain
a
standard
to
care
with
my
license.
I
have
to
make
sure
that
what
I
give
you
is
accurate
and
it
represents
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
do.
The
graphics
you
have
received
from
the
opposition
have
not
have
failed
to
record
recognize
the
streetscape,
the
sidewalks,
how
this
building
sits
on
the
site.
BD
We've
worked
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
this
building
can
fit
on
this
site
and
it
works
for
what
we're
trying
to
do
at
the
scale
that
it
is.
We've
also
worked
very
hard
on
the
arrival
and
the
departure.
We've
worked
hard
on
how
to
make
the
curb
cut
off
a
knight's
run,
Avenue
the
main
focus
of
this
site
where
the
vehicles
come
in
and
come
out
on
that
particular
access
itself.
BD
They've
also
worked
very
hard
on
making
nice
run
Avenue
the
front
door
of
this
building,
and
it's
become
that
we've
created
another
elevated
entry
there.
That
really
invites
the
public
in
one
of
the
things
we've
really
tried
to
do
is
to
make
this
building
something
different,
something
unique
and
something
we
can
be
proud
of,
and
that
the
experts
presented
to
you
today
in
the
materials
they
submitted
to
you

review,
have
taken
my

is
one
of
the
slides
that
was
prepared
by
their
expert.
Witness.
Take
a
look
at
a
couple
of
things.
For
me,
if
you
will
the
most
important
being
August
2021,
that
was
the
initial
traffic
study
that
was
done
for
this
hotel
when
it
was
180
rooms,
not
the
150
room
hotel
that
was
brought
in
front
of
you
page
314
means
this
was
the
appendix,
which
means
this
was
a
very
preliminary
trip.
Generation
table
that
was
produced
before
the
traffic
study
was
actually
even
completed.
V
You
see
the
differences
26
additional
cars
in
the
morning,
a
few
less
cars
in
the
afternoon.
That's
comparing
a
drive-in
bank
which
is
approved
on
the
property
as
opposed
to
the
hotel.
That's
proposed
on
the
property.
This
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
original
Sun
Bank
walk-up
facility.
That
was
on
the
property
when
it
was
converted
from
a
sales
Center
move
to
one
more.
V
V
Let's
talk
about
the
fact
that
the
expert
decided
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
trip
generation,
that's
great
I.T,
does
a
wonderful
job
of

has
177

uses
in
it
that
are
examined
virtually
every
one
of
those
land
uses
for
the
exception
of
a
few
residential
and
a
couple
of
office
have
two
different
sets
of
peak
hours.
V
They
had
the
peak
hour
of
the
generator,
which
is
what's
talked
about
here
and
the
adjacent
Street
peak
hour.
City
requirements
are
we
do
a
traffic
study
based
upon
the
am
adjacent
Street
peak
hour
between
seven
and
nine
and
the
same
in
the
afternoon
four
to
six?
Why
do
we
do
it
that
way?
That
is,
when
you
have
the
highest
cumulative
total
of
traffic
on
a
roadway
or
at
an
intersection,
we're
going
to
do
a
study
out
here
at
nine
o'clock
in
the
evening.
V
V
V
Great
article
been
before
you
before
talking
about
parking
waivers
for
hotels,
expert
indicated,
there
was
no
technical
information
provided
to
you
didn't,
say
anything
about
the
fact
that
the
trouble
tree
rezoning
1881
was
before
you
and
approved
as
a
waiver
of
right
around
20
percent
very
compatible
to
what
we're
asking
for
here.
That
is,
a
business
hotel
in
West,
Shore,
Embassy,
Suites,
same
thing:
Rec
2035,
business
hotel
in
West,
Shore,
comparable
waiver.
V
Evidence
this
is
the
Embassy
Suites,
with
the
expanded
number
of
rooms
picture
of
the
top
deck
of
the
parking

If
I
had
to
wait
until,
in
fact
the
sun
came
up
enough,
so
I
could
take
a
photograph.
That's
the
peak
period
of
parking
at
a
hotel.
This
first
thing
in
the
morning
they're
not
even
using
the
top
deck
of
their
garage
I,
would
say
their
waiver
is
appropriate.
V
Doubletree
Rocky
Point

been
converted.
Waiver
is
in
place
again
Sunrise.
Unfortunately,
I
wish
it
had
been
sunset,
but,
as
you
can
see,
ample
parking
left
and
they
have
a
similar
waiver
both
of
those
projects
wave
over
60
parking
spaces
substantially
more
than
what's
waived
here
so
I
believe
there
is
technical
information
provided
to
you
to
justify
those
parking
waivers
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
BE
Okay,
good
evening
my
name
is
Cynthia
spidel
with
Stearns
Weaver
at
401,
East
Jackson,
Street
in
Tampa
and
I
have
been
sworn
I
am
an
aicp
planner,
who
has
over
17
years
planning
experience
in
both
the
public
and
private
sectors
of
particular
relevance
to
this
item.
I
was
the
dri
coordinator
at
Pasco,
County
and
I
have
experience
with
at
least
25
developments
of
regional
impact.
So
the
last
time
we
were
here,
I
really
focused
on
the
Project's
consistency
and
compatibility
in
the
overall
planning
environment.
BE
Looked
at
the
dri
I'm
not
going
to
rehash
any
of
that.
Unless,
if
there's
any
specific
questions
that
you
might
have
I
know,
you've
all
read
my
planning
report
thoroughly,
the
one
from
May
so,
but
rather
this
from
around
my
focus
and
review
consisted
of
the
40
Years
of
zoning
approvals
on
all
of
Harbor
Island.
BE
So
this
slide
is
2004
versus
2020..
In
2004,
this
site
was
rezoned
from
PDA
mixed-use,
commercial,
residential
to
PD
drive
and
window
Bank.
So
this
is
very
relevant
because
in
2004
that
prior
approval
allowed
for
a
hotel
up
to
158
feet
and
as
you
can
see
from
the
slides
what
has
really
changed
from
2004
if
anything,
the
island
has
become
more
urban
and
developed.
Therefore,
one
really
cannot
claim
that
a
permitted
Hotel
up
to
158
feet
was
compatible
in
2004,
but
it
isn't
anymore
in
2020
or
2022..
BE
So
next
slide
slide
as
a
result
of
the
2004
down
zoning,
the
property
became
an
island
on
an
island.
It
is
completely
surrounded
by
zoning
approvals
that
allow
hotels
up
to
158
feet.
This
is
what
we
call
in
planning
as
reverse
spot.
Zoning
reverse
spot.
Zoning
is
a
planning
term
or
a
property
subject
to
a
zoning.
Application
is
treated
differently
by
the
local
jurisdiction
than
the
surrounding
area.
BE
There
is
legal
precedence
that
supports
that
reverse
spot
zoning
is
illegal.
The
overall
planning
takeaway
here
is
that
the
current
and
historic
rezonings
dating
back
to
the
original
for
Harbor
Island
is
has
always
allowed
hotels
as
a
permitted
use
so
and
then
I
want
to
go
to
rebut
the
specific
expert
testimony.
There's
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
compatibility,
and
it
is
my
planning
opinion
that
that
compatibility
determination
was
already
made
by
city
council
when
they
put
the
dri
and
the
Zoning
for
the
whole
Harbor
Island.
BE
They
clearly
allow
residential
and
non-residential
to
coexist
anywhere
on
the
island.
Mr
smoker
said
hotels
never
been
approved,
that's
not
true,
and
then,
with
all
due
respect
to
Mr
Powell
who's.
A
fellow
planning
colleague
his
report
is
just
wrong.
It
does
not
tell
you
the
whole
story
and
it
selectively
picks
only
one
perspective,
and
it
conveniently
ignores
all
regulatory
approvals
that
apply
to
Harbor
Island.
BE
So,
in
conclusion,
my
planning
opinion
continues
to
remain,
as
it
was
the
last
time
we
were
here
and
that
the
Redevelopment
of
the
property
as
a
hotel
is
compatible
with
the
surrounding
built
and
Regulatory
environment
and,
further
after
having
reviewed
the
dri
and
all
of
the
current
historic
rezonings
on
Harbor
Island,
the
planning
documents
do
not
support
a
line
of
demarcation
at
night's
run.
Instead,
they
reinforce
that
this
property
is
being
treated
differently
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
AV
BE
So
that
is
a
really
good
question
and
I
spent
months
trying
to
figure
out
why
anybody
would
go
from
PDA
to
PD
and
I.
Think
we've
talked
to
staff
about
it
extensively
as
well.
I
do
not
understand
why
they
did
that
because
they
just
come
in
with
the
incremental
site
plan
at
that
time.
So
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
what.
I
BE
It
away
no
I
think
it's
the
city
because
there's
a
Nuance
in
chapter
27
that
requires
any
site
under
20
to
BPD.
So
if
you
look
at
all
the
zonings
through
the
80s
and
the
90s,
they
were
consistent.
You
had
a
dri,
you
had
a
master
plan
and
you
had
a
rezoning
that
had
dimensional
standards
for
all
the
Harbor
Island.
The
ordinances
specifically
say
that
any
zoning
has
to
comply
with
these
dimensional
standards.
That
was
consistent
in
all
of
your
ordinances
through
the
90s
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
2004
that
language
is
dropped.
BE
I
R
N
J
I
But
there's
something
Miss
Barnes,
there's
a
could
you
respond
to
this
part
of
it
that
she
said
something
like
There's,
A,
peculiar,
peculiar
language
in
our
in
our
code,
that
that
forces
someone
to
do
a
PD
and
it's?
And
so
therefore
it's
the
city's
fault,
not
the
prior
applicant's
fault
that
this
is
down.
Zone
like
this
any.
I
R
BE
Can
explain
further
my
only
point
there
was
that
if
you
go
to
chapter
27,
the
section
27
and
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
when
that
came
in
place,
it
said
that
if
you
are,
you
can't
be
PDA
if
you're
more
than
20
acres,
so
as
I
was
trying
to
find
a
reason
why
anybody
would
go
from
PDA
to
PD
and
I.
Don't
know
if
it
was
because
a
bank
and
people
had
concerns
about
the
the
drive
window
or,
but
you
know
again,
I'm
speculating
I,
don't
know.
BE
T
Council
Jay
Cramer
again
for
the
record
I
have
gone
back
and
looked
at
that
prior
rezoning
all
the
records.
It
was
continued
several
times
it.
It
appears
what
happened
was
that
there
were
members
of
the
public,
perhaps
members
of
some
of
the
associations
on
the
island
that
didn't
like
the
idea
of
a
drive-through
on
the
bank.
T
What
we
are
suggesting
is
that
this
exact
use
at
a
taller
height
was
consistent
as
a
matter
of
law
on
Harbor
Island
in
2004,
and
the
only
thing
that's
happened
since
then
is
that
the
island
has
grown
denser
and
more
intense
and
I.
Don't
think
there
is
any
planning
reason
that
it
can
be
justified
that
it
could
be
consistent
back
at
that
time
period,
but
not
now.
T
I
V
An
important
key
is
the
fact
that
the
address
of
this
building
will
be
on
Knights
run
rather
than
Harbor
Island
Boulevard.
However,
if
you
go
to
any
of
the
way
finding
apps,
you
will
find
they
will
direct
you
in
the
most
direct
route
to
an
address.
This
is
a
problem
we
have
with
the
convention
center.
This
is
why
we
have
a
major,
a
number
of
major
traffic
issues
in
the
past
when
the
convention
center
has
something
going
on.
V
Emily
Arena
has
something
going
on:
they
bring
them
down:
Tampa
Street,
down
Harbor
Island
and
onto
the
island.
So
the
likelihood
of
some
person
not
familiar
with
Tampa
figuring
out
that
they
could
use
beneficial
bridge
to
come
over
into
Harbor
Island,
come
across
Knight's
run,
make
a
U-turn
to
come
back
to
the
hotel.
I
find
to
be
rather
far-fetched
to
be
very
blunt
about
it,
knowledgeable
made
to
attempt
to
do
that,
but
they'll
realize
the
U-turn
is
not
in
fact
something.
V
That
is
a
very
comfortable
thing
to
do,
so
they
would
use
Harbor
Island
as
well.
So
I
find
it
highly
unlikely.
You
would
have
any
significant
percentage
of
motorists.
That
would
attempt
that
particular
route
to
come
to
a
hotel,
especially
those
that
do
not
know
the
location
of
the
hotel
and
are
relying
upon
any
sort
of
GPS
part.
I
V
E
E
V
Would
be
a
very
good
thing
to
do?
I'd
agree
with
the
wholeheartedly
you
know,
and
I
will
say,
since
I've
done
all
the
dri
work
on
the
island.
It
was
always
envisioned
at
this
intersection
if
it
reached
the
volume
of
traffic
that
warranted
of
the
traffic
signal.
There
would
be
a
traffic
signal
there.
Unfortunately,
it
does
not
have
the
volume
to
Warrant
a
traffic
signal
at
this
point
or
with
this
project
any.
T
Thank
you
again,
Council
Jake
Kramer,
a
couple
of
cleanup
items.
Construction
came
up.
Construction
is
not
a
zoning
item.
That's
something
that's
dealt
with
later
at
the
permitting
process.
As
you
all
know,
I
would
question
the
motives
of
Mr
Tao.
The
developer,
who
helped
so
helpfully
came
and
spoke
tonight.
Mr
talb
actually
made
an
offer
to
my
client
of
five
million
dollars
cash
to
purchase
the
property.
T
T
So
we
wanted
to
understand
what
could
be
built
on
the
Athletic
Club
today
without
coming
for
your
approval,
Council.
This
is
what
could
surround
this
one-story
building
without
coming
to
you
for
your
approval,
almost
1500
units
that
are
entitled
today
under
the
dri
and
this
site
could
utilize
them
in
the
future.
T
I
also
wanted
to
understand,
if
you're
a
landowner
on
the
island.
What
should
you
have
known?
What
would
be
on
your
title?
Unlike
a
PD
which,
as
we
know,
were
not
recorded?
Sometimes
citizens
come
before
you
all
and
they're
confused
by
that
they
don't
understand.
Zoning
dris
are
recorded.
This
was
on
title.
Everyone
who
purchased
property
within
the
dri
is
on
notice
that
there
is
this
overarching
development
process.
T
M
T
Section
8
says
developers
right
to
deviate
from
development
plan,
notwithstanding
anything
contained
in
this
declaration.
To
the
contrary,
developers
shall
have
the
right
and
a
sole
discretion

and
makes
no
promises
regarding
the
completion
of
development
of
the
island,
whether
it's
set
forth
in
the
development
plan
or
any
other
manner
developer.
Man
is
sole.
Discretion,
cease
to
add
properties
to
this
declaration
and
may
determine
in
the

to
change
the

BF

I
M

R
R
BG
R
R
M
R
T
T
I
think
what
that
tells
you
is
that
we're
doing
something
right.
It's
been
a
long
process
to
get
here,
but
there
are
people
that
are
looking
at
these
design
changes
over
time
and
they've
taken
the
time
to
reach
out
to
you
all
Council,
your
professional
staff
has
recommended
approval
of
this
project
twice.
An
independent
special
magistrate
has
proposed
moving
this
project
forward
to
you
all
to
consider
tonight.
So
with
that
I
ask
for
your
support
and
thank
you
for
your
time
tonight.
I
know
it's
been
a
long
night.
Thank
you.
M
M
How
would
we
decide
your
favorite,
their
favor
I'm
reminded
I'm,
always
respectful
of
the
people,
rather
it's
their
Community.
They
live
there.
We
have
somebody
that
moved
in
that
wants
to
do
something
there
as
well,
but
by
the
same
token
you're
a
professional
man.
Yes,
sir,
always
be
professional
and
again
you
know
they
have
a
right
to
speak
and
say
and
they're
here,
because
they
they
live
there
every
day,
so
something
new
coming
in.
M
They
want
to
be
able
to
make
sure
it's
going
to
fit
in
with
the
children,
the
neighborhood
and
everything
so
Highway
outcome
is
and
I
tell
the
folks
in
this
room
today
how
an
outcome
is,
we
we
still
have
to
get
along
and
live,
so
we
have
to
make
it
the
best
way.
We
can.
You
know
again,
it's
always
compromised
till
the
end,
so
it
may
be
some
things
that
councilman
asked
to
look
at
with
Mr
Shaw
and
reference
another
compromised
by
some
things,
but
what
I
want
to
say
just
you're,
a
great
guy.
M
F
F
B
Thank
you,
Council
Kate
Wells
for
the
record.
Yes,
the
first
order
of
business
unless
Council
has
any
other
questions
before
you
close.
The
hearing
would
be
to
decide
whether
or
not
to
accept
or
reject
the
special
magistrates
recommendation
report
and
recommendation,
or,
if
counsel
is
considering
modifying
it,
then
Liberty
would
have
to
consent
to
those
modifications.
B
It's
acknowledging
that
map
H
is
amended
to
increase
the
hotel
rooms
from
550
up
by
another
145
units,
I
believe
to
695,
and
then
there's
some
other
technical
modifications
to
the
dri
development
order.
The
by
the
governor's
executive
order.
Certain
natural
disasters
allow
all
development
orders
to
all
development
permits,
including
dri
development
orders,
to
be
extended
for
a
period
of
time,
so
the
build
out
date
would
be
extended
and
that
date
is
reflected
in
the
ordinance.
B
B
Defer
to
council
as
a
legislative
decision,
you
don't
have
to
cite
to
competent,
substantial
evidence
in
either
accepting
or
rejecting
the
the
recommendation
when,
if
you
were
to
accept
the
special
magistrates
recommendation
than
when
you
approve
the
ordinance
on
the
rezoning,
you
can
go
through
that
criteria
or
not.
You
can
just
read
the
title
if
you
wish,
because
again
tonight
is
a
little
different
than
the
remainder
of
the
rezoning
hearings
on
your
agenda
this
evening.
E
K
Take
a
stab
at
it
and
I'll
and
I'll
if
I
may
Mr
chair,
give
some
thoughts
on
this
on
this
issue.
I
I
voted
for
this
the
first
time.
I
was
one
of
two
council
members
who
voted
for
this
and
what
I
said
originally
and
I'll
say
it
again
is
I,
always
it's
simplistic,
but
it's
true
in
these
things,
which
is
whenever
we
have
a
denial
on
something.
It's
like
a
stool
and
you
got
to
find
legs
on
it
and
I'm
going
to
say
it
again.
K
I
don't
see
the
legs
here
to
support,
as
as
for
me
in
my
house,
so
to
speak,
a
stool
of
denial
from
a
legal
perspective,
I
get
it
110
with
regards
to
the
neighborhood.
If
I
live
there,
I'd
go
what's
going
on.
What's
what's
this
about
Etc,
but
there
are
certain
legal
standards
that
are
binding
in
an
issue
like
this.
K
When
I
take
a
look
at
this,
especially
where
we're
at
right
now
after
hearing
from
the
magistrate,
this
is
the
last
chance
we
have
before
this
train
leaves
the
station
right
and
when
it
leaves
there's
no
coming
back
by
and
large,
there's
no
coming
back
and
when
I
take
a
look
at
the
staff
reports
that
that
are
very,
very
relevant
in
a
case
like
this
right.
If
I
again,
I
speak
for
myself
and
I,
don't
question
anybody
else's
motives
or
anything.
K
As
for
myself,
if
I
was
to
vote
no
and
tell
the
neighborhood
here
we're
going
to
go
forward
with
this
note,
in
my
opinion,
I
would
be
writing
a
political
check.
I
can't
cash!
That's
going
to
bounce
it's
going
to
bounce
relatively
sooner
or
later
and
I.
As
for
me,
in
terms
of
how
I
see
things
I,
don't
like
to
do
that.
So,
if
I
may
I'm
going
to
move
to
accept
the
special
magistrates
recommendation.
F
Does
it
it's
a
legislative
matter,
but
if
you
want,
if
this
is
everything
I'm,
sorry
Martin,
Shelby
city,
council
attorney
I
have
to
speak
into
the
microphone
I'm
in
a
very
weird
position.
If
you
wish
to
have
something
on
the
record,
if,
if
it
would
support
your
position,
the
standard
for
legislative
matter
is
it's
fairly
debatable.
It's
called
a
fairly
debatable
standard.
If
reasonable
people
can
disagree.
K
Be
I'll
say
it
again
finesse
if
need
be.
We
have
positive
staff
reports
on
this
that
have
been
discussed
and
already
been
put
in
the
record.
Previously
during
the
hearings,
we
have
the
magistrates
findings,
all
the
cite
that
basically
and
those
can
be
moved
to
amend
if
I
get
further
support
from
it.
There
you
go.
M
M
That's
why
I
asked
Council
a
reference
to
the
dri
portion
that
that
concerns
me
reading
those
documents
and
I
and
with
the
magistrate
has
has
ruled
we've
been
down
this
road
before,
and
this
is
the
heart
battle
for
councilman.
When
we
got
a
magistrate,
who's
who's
ruled
so
I'll
give
you
the
second
I'll
know
where
it's
going,
sir,
but
I'll
give
you
the
second
yes
Mr
Shelby
in.
F
Fact,
Mr
chairman,
if
I
can
just
so
that
the
record
is
clear.
The
magistrate
this
is
the
first
part
of
the
70
.51
process.
The
flu
to
process.
What's
coming
to.
You
is
a
recommendation
of
the
magistrate.
It's
not
a
ruling.
If,
depending
on
what
council
does,
it
would
go
back
to
a
second
part
what
he
would
put
on
a
different
hat,
so
I
just
want
to
be
clear
for
the
record
he
gave
the
recommendation.
Thank.
C
I
I
I
find
the
opposite
of
my
colleague
here.
The
purpose
of
the
legal
department
of
the
city
is
to
defend
the
legal
rights
of
of
property
owners
and
the
city,
and
that
includes
the
residents
of
the
city
and
people
who
buy
property
with
an
expectation
of
what's
already
entitled
this
property,
as
as,
as.
I
I
No,
the
expectation
of
entitlement
is
not
an
entitlement,
and
so
we
have
to
be
fair
in
in
looking
at
these
things,
but
but
ultimately,
because
the
the
entitlement
is
the
way
it
is,
the
I
would
expect
that
the
that
there
would
be
a
different
process
that
would
come
back
with
a
different
solution.
So
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
reject
the
special
magistrates
recommendation.
V
N
I
understand
what
the
traffic
count
says
and
I
also
realize
that
even
just
recently,
we
had
another
one
almost
like
this,
but
it
wasn't
a
hotel.
I
admit
that
on
Cleveland
and
North
Boulevard
that
wanted
it
required
0.004
and
it
had
0.002
and
I
also
voted
against
it.
For
that
same
reason
and
I
understand
that
Millennium
says:
oh,
we
don't
need
cars,
we
don't
need
anything.
N
N
So
we
just
that's
what
I'm
looking
at
I'm
looking
at
people
going
in
and
out
of
hotels,
the
same
way
in
a
car,
they
don't
walk
to
a
hotel
and
if
you
don't
believe
me,
when
you're
going
down
at
the
convention
center,
try
to
cross
that
street
to
go
to
the
Marriott
Hotel
see
what
happens
yeah
yeah.
That's
all.
E
O
O
K
And
yes,
sir
and
I
want
to
be
clear
and
again
every
everybody
has
their
reasons
for
ETC,
et
cetera.
The
mere
threat
of
litigation
is
not
relevant
that
that's
what
I
do
for
a
living
in
my
other
job,
the
litigation
is
nothing.
You
know
that
that's
nothing
new,
but
litigation
that
is
very
likely
going
to
result
in
a
raw
deal
for
taxpayers
in
the
city.
That
is
something
to
take
seriously
and
that's
why
I
vote?
Why
do
it's
not
easy
again
as
far
as
I'm
concerned?
It's
not
easy,
but
that's
that's.
A
E
E
B
This
would
there's
a
hearing
that
can
be
held
by
the
special
magistrate
where
they
will
take
it's
a
factual
hearing,
so
it's
different
from
the
mediation
we
just
went
through,
and
the
decision
at
that
point
is
whether
or
not
your
decision
in
May
of
2022,
unfairly
or
inordinate
unreasonably
or
inordinately
burdens
the
property.
So
we
we
go
back
to
that.
It's
not
another
mediation.
B
We
wouldn't
be
coming
back
to
council
with
another
mediation,
it's
that
type
of
hearing
and
then
the
special
magistrates
recommendation
would
be
presented
to
city
council,
but
then
there's
also
the
separate
litigation
that
I
would
that
I
don't
know
if
they
would
continue
to
keep
it
in
a
pending
status.
While
we
go
through
that
second
part
of
the
7051
or
if
they
move
forward
with
that
litigation.
Thank.

Mr

you,

Council
Martin,
City,
Council
attorney
I
know
the
the
last
public
hearing
is
over
so
I'm
going
to
speak
in
generalities
and
please,
let's
not
get
into
a
discussion
about
I,
just
want
to
remind
you
that
the
case
when
you
do
something,
as,
for
instance,
denying
a
special
magistrates,
a
flu
drug
recommendation.
The
case
is
still
would
be
still
in
a
litigation
posture.
This
is
a
very
obviously
a
great
interest
to
the
public.
You
may
be
asked
to
make
comments
on
it.
R
Good
evening,
Council
Amy
Barnes
development
coordination.
The
next
item
for
you
tonight
is
Rez
2282
for
6204
Interbay
Boulevard,
requesting
to
rezone
from
rs60
to
PD
for
residential
single
family
attached
daycare
center
Scripps,
Shopping,
Center
medical
office,
restaurant
and
all
CN
uses
I'll
turn
over
my
presentation
to
the
plane.
Commission.
S
Sam
Thomas
with
your
Planning
Commission
staff,
the
subject
site
is
located
in
the
South
Tampa
planning
district
and
the
inner
bay
south
of
Gandy
neighborhood.
The
site
is
also
within
the
MacDill
Air
Force
Base
flight
path,
the
closest
Transit
stop
is
located
0.3
miles
west
of
the
subject.
Site
and
Skyview.
Park
is
the
closest
recreational
facility.
The
site
is
within
a
level.
A
evacuation.
Zone
here
is
an
aerial
map
of
the
subject
site
on
the
subject.
Site
is
just
west
of
South
MacDill
Avenue,
it's
at
the
intersection
of
Interbay
Boulevard
and
South
6th
Street.
S
The
surrounding
area
is
mainly
single-family
detached
residential
in
character.
There
is
a
mix
of
some
multi-family
down
to
the
South
and
some
attached
single
family,
but
overall,
the
area
is
largely
single
family
detached.
There
is
some
commercial
uses
at
the
intersection
of
South
MacDill
and
Inner
Bay
Boulevard.
S
Here
is
the
adopted
future
land
use
map.
The
subject
site
is
recognized
under
the
residential
10
future
land
use
designation
to
the
east.
You
have
this
green
color
is
a
recreational
open
space,
future
land
use
designation,
the
R20
and
the
brown,
and
then
the
community
makes
these
35
along
South
MacDill
in
the
intersection
of
Interbay.
S
So,
as
mentioned,
the
adopted
feature,
language
of
the
site
is
residential
10..
The
residential
10
designation
allows
for
limited
neighborhood,
so
serving
commercial
uses.
If
locational
criteria
is
met,
locational
criteria
is
intended
to
control
the
location
of
commercial
uses
in
areas
planned
for
residential
development.
If
a
subject
site
has
existing
commercial
zoning,
it
is
not
subject
to
meeting
locational
criteria
for
any
new
commercial
uses.
While
the
daycare
currently
exists
on
the
subject
site,
the
zoning
is
rs60.
Thus
the
site
must
meet
locational
criteria
for
any
proposed
commercial
uses
in
the
r10
designation.
S
The
locational
criteria
states
that
the
block
base
of
a
subject
site
must
have
50
commercial
zoning.
The
Block
Base
for
this
portion
of
Interbay
Boulevard
from
South
selborne
Avenue
to
South
6th
Street,
is
zoned
residential
Planning
Commission
staff
has
determined
that
the
locational
criteria
has
not
been
met.
Further
staff
finds
that
the
approval
of
this
request
would
be
the
first
introduction
of
commercial
uses
on
this
segment
of
Interbay
Boulevard
between
South
selborne,
Avenue
and
South
6th
Street.
If
approved,
it
would
change
the
zoning
pattern
on
the
Block
face
to
50
commercial
zoning
and
properties.
S
And
while
it's
ultimately
inconsistent
with
the
locational
criteria,
the
PD
Pro,
the
proposed
PD
is
providing
a
range
of
uses
near
housing
and
would
contribute
to
a
diverse
housing
options
in
the
South
Tampa
planning
district
overall
Planning
Commission
staff
finds
the
proposed
PD
would
be
an
encroachment
of
commercial
uses
in
the
residential
area
due
to
the
fact
that
it
does
not
meet
locational
criteria
and
is
inconsistent
with
the
policy
direction
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
That
concludes
my
presentation,
I'm
available
for
questions.
Any
comments
or
questions.
R
Andy
Barnes
development
coordination.
Again
this
is
rezoning
to
rezone
property,
located
at
6204
Interbay
Boulevard
from
rs60
to
PD,
to
allow
for
development
of
30,
residential
single-family
attached
units,
6600
square
feet,
square
foot,
daycare
center
and
8
400
square
feet
of
strip
shopping
center
to
include
medical
office,
restaurant
and
all
commercial
neighborhood
uses.
R
The
site
plan
submitted
identifies
seven
buildings
on
the
site,
with
two
structures
indicated
on
the
site.
Plan
is
building
one
and
two
located
on
the
North
End
of
the
site
containing
the
commercial
uses
and
five
structures
located
behind
buildings.
One
and
two
with
residential
single-family
attached
uses.
R
Development
coordination
finds
the
request
consistent.
However,
overall
development
review
and
compliance
staff
has
found
the
request,
inconsistent
based
on
Transportation,
solid
waste
and
natural
resources
requirements.
There
will
need
to
be
a
modification
between
first
and
second
reading
that
is
included
on
the
revision
sheet
regarding
the
solid
waste
location
and
it'll
have
to
be
depicted
on
the
site
plan.
I
will
show
you
an
excerpt
from
the
staff
report
mm-hmm.
R
BA
All
right
good
evening,
Council
Aaron
mayor
development
coordination
I,
would
like
to
review
some
of
my
comments
of
which
were
provided
to
you
in
the
staff
report
I'm
going
to
just
point
out
some
of
the
wooded
aspects
of
the
site
and
what
is
currently
proposed
natural
resources
in
inconsistent
due
to
the
only
natural
resources
waiver
on
the
on
the
plan
for
tree
retention,
as
this
is
a
heavily
wooded
site.
So
the
site
is
over
four
acres.
BA
As
Annie
said,
let
me
and
I
just
I
made
this
little
visual,
so
you
can
see
that
there
are
165
on-site
jurisdictional
trees,
of
which
107
are
R-rated,
fair
or
better,
and
the
project
is
proposing
to
remove
92
of
the
trees
on
site.
So
all
the
trees
with
the
red
X's
are
trees
that
are
proposed
for
removal
with
the
purple
circles.
BA
These
are
all
the
trees
that
are
are
proposed
to
be
preserved,
there's
15
trees
and,
in
addition
to
that,
of
all
the
trees
on
the
site,
there
are
only
17
which
are
rated
b
or
better
good
condition.
Trees
and
I
have
circled
them
here
in
green,
so
they're
easy
to
to
see
where
they're
located
the
the
project
is
requesting.
Well,
first
of
all,
they
have
preserved
both
non-hazardous
Grand
trees
on
site.
There
are
only
two
grand
trees
on
the
site.
BA
BA
So
the
project
has
proposed
a
waiver
of
tree
retention
down
to
10
from
the
required
50
per
27,
284
3.1,
and
if
the
project
were
to
preserve
all
17
of
these
good
condition,
trees
shown
in
the
green
that
would
still
require
a
waiver
and
the
waiver
would
be
30
tree
retention,
as
this
is
heavily
wooded
and
I'm
just
going
to
show.
This
is
a
photo
from
the
center
of
the
site,
looking
north
towards
inner
towards
Interbay.
As
you
can
see,
it
is
very
heavily
wooded.
There
are.
BA
Eighty
percent
of
the
trees
are
Live
Oaks
on
the
site,
and
that
said,
I
just
would.
If
so,
if
the
project
were
to
require
additional
trees
to
be
preserved,
this
would
require
reduction
in
the
number
of
units
on
the
site
and
potentially
an
alternate
placement
of
the
daycare.
As
there
are
many
good
conditioned,
trees
shown
there
I'm
just
going
to
show
a
couple
of
these
good
condition
trees.
So
this
and
I'll
show
here
on
the
plan.
This
is
tree
41,
it's
located
right
where
the
daycare
is
proposed
to
be-
and
this
is
tree
41
here.
BA
BA
So
if
it
is
council's
pleasure
to
support
this
project
in
its
current
form,
221
type
1
trees
are
required
for
mitigation.
However,
the
applicant
has
worked
with
natural
resources
to
provide
where
possible,
four-inch
caliper
trees
on
site
required.
Green
Space
is
27
619
square
feet
and
the
applicant
is
providing
seventy
four
thousand.
BA
One
hundred
and
fifty
Seven
square
feet
has
preserved
all
Grand
trees
on
site
and
provided
the
full
protective
radii
for
off-site
trees
like
this
Grand
Tree
and
any
any
other
off-site
trees
and
I
do
just
want
to
reiterate
if
at
all,
if
all
the
good
condition
trees
were
to
be
preserved,
it's
still
require
a
30
tree
retention.
Labor,
as
this
is
a
very
heavily
wooded
site
and
any
development
would
require
significant
tree
removal.
BH
Good
evening,
council
members,

South

Members
and

Thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
consider
our
request
for
the
planned
development
of
our
Interbay
Commons
Community
as
sponsors
of
the
project,
our
SSG
commercial,
which
is
represented
by
myself,
Jennifer
and
Jared
Bray.
Our
company
mainly
develops
neighborhood
centers,
an
urban
infill,
it's
local
and
it's
been
around
since
the
1970s.
BI
Our
partner
sponsor
is
urban
core
represented
by
Omar
Garcia
and
Gil
Samos
and
they've
been
around
a
long
time
too
they're
a
local
company
and
they
develop
mainly
residential.
So
residential
commercial
I,
initially
brought
this
parcel
under
contract
to
potentially
relocate
The
JCC
Jewish
Community
Center
School
from
Bayshore,
where,
where
they
will
be
displaced
in
2024
and
by
a
related
project
that
is
going
to
share
the
the
site
with
the
road
of
Shalom
Synagogue,
we
are
in
serious
discussions
with
the
JCC
for
them
to
relocate
to
the
site.
BI
If
economics
allow,
we
do
have
other
preschools
interested
in
the
site
as
a
backup,
and
but
we
are
in
serious
negotiations
with
the
JCC.
A
preschool
in
this
location,
which
there
already
is,
will
create
replacement
employment
for
a
number
of
the
staff
at
Circle
C
Sally
Harris.
The
current
owner
has
written
a
letter
of
support
for
the
project
and
is
present
here
in
person
today
and
I'd
like
to
call
on
Omar
Garcia,
to
say
a
few
words
Omar.
BJ
BJ
When
we
first
discussed
developing
the
concept
of
the
existing
Circle
C
daycare
property,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
Community
buy-in.
Since
then
we
have
had
over
10
Community
meetings,
some
of
them
virtual,
some
of
them
on
site
some
with
neighborhood
associations
and
conservation
groups
like
The
Tampa,
tree
advocacy
group.
That's
here
and
we've
even
met
with
Neighbors
in
person
and
in
their
homes.
We
have
gone
out
of
our
way
to
make
sure
that
we
got
a
community
involved.
BJ
The
key
messages
that
we
have
heard
from
those
meetings
were
they
wanted
another
daycare
to
replace
Circle
C.
That
is
why
this
plan
includes
a
new
daycare
for
the
community,
in
addition
to
continued
employee
employment
opportunities
for
the
long-serving
circle
seat
staff
members,
the
computer,
sorry,
the
community
also
wanted
more
walkable
retail
options
in
this
area.
BJ
This
plan
includes
walkable
retail
options
and
constructions
of
sidewalks,
we're
also
proposing
a
pedestrian
crosswalk
with
two
speed
tables
on
Interbay,
to
increase
both
the
safety
of
those
walking
to
the
community
and
the
residents
that
live
on
Interbay
wanting
to
walk
to
the
adjacent
Skyview
Park
tree
Advocates
wanted
to
maintain
the
existing
trees.
We
worked
with
one
of
the
most
respected
arborists
in
Tampa
to
help
us
best
focus
our
preservation
efforts,
I'm
happy
to
report
that
our
plan
preserves
all
the
Grand
Oaks
on
the
site.
BJ
In
addition,
our
plans,
proactive
landscape
design,
will
actually
increase
the
total
number
of
trees
from
the
current
165
on
site
to
183..
This
is
18
more
trees
that
are
currently
on
site.
This
project
will
also
have
more
and
healthier
trees
that
is
currently
there,
and
our
Arbors
will
speak
to
more
about
the
condition
of
the
current
trees.
We
also
heard
from
the
community
does
not
want
multi-family
properties
to
rent.
They
want
properties
that
residents
can
buy
increasing
long-term
vested
members
to
the
community.
BJ
We
also
heard
the
community
wanted
to
have
connectivity
to
the
adjacent
Park,
an
improvements
to
the
existing
Park.
We
hope
to
connect
our
development
to
Skyview
Park
with
a
pedestrian
gate
that
will
increase
the
parts
usage
by
the
community,
which
is
adjacent
to
the
property,
and
they
also
told
us
that
flooding
is
an
issue
in
South
Tampa
and
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
this
community
did
not
add
to
the
problem.
BJ
Our
Architects
civil
engineers
worked
with
the
city
of
Tampa
staff
to
ensure
adequate
on-site
water
retention,
although
we
may
not
have
every
single
person's
buy-in
on
the
design.
I
will
certainly
tell
you
that,
based
on
our
individual
discussions
with
the
community,
the
issues
addressed
above
were
their
main
concerns
to
us.
BJ
The
plan
adds
more
housing
for
purchase
increases.
Walkability
preserves
much-needed
Child
Care
Resources
addresses
storm
water
concerns,
while
adding
healthy
trees
and
preserving
our
precious
Grand
Oaks.
If
this
plan
is
not
approved
and
future
land
use
for
single-family
home
remains
I'm
sure
a
track
builder
will
be
happy
to
Simply,
build
single-family
homes.
No
rezoning
required
I
believe
that
is
not
what
the
community
wants.
We
respectfully
request
your
approval
of
our
PD
application
for
Interbay
comments.
Thank
you.
Thank.
BH
BK
Thank
you,
Council
Ricky,
pederica,
308,
East,
7th,
Avenue,
I'm,
a
board
certified
Master
arborist,
registered
Consulting,
arborist,
professional
landscape,
architect,
certified
planner,
but
I'm
practicing
and
arboriculture
and
Landscape
architecture.
Since
2009.,
when
I
conducted
my
site,
review,
February
2022
I
thought
the
overall
condition
of
the
trees
on
the
site
or
Forest
Health
was
generally
worse
than
I
had
expected.
The
Oaks
seem
to
have
more
systemic
health
issues
across
the
population,
such
as
crowd,
thinning
low
live
Crown
ratio,
which
is
how
much
Trump
deletes
there
are
and
a
small
Leaf
size.
BK
This
observation
shook
out
in
my
inventory
metrics,
where
I
found
that
11
of
the
on-site
trees
were
good
or
better.
Compare
that
with
75
percent
is
the
city
average
of
good
or
better
trees
in
a
typical
park-like
setting.
According
to
the
2016
City
of
Tampa
canopy
study,
the
forced
Health
on
site
was
below
average
for
a
park-like
setting.
BK
BK

BH
BH
We
are
asking
to
relocate
a
monument
sign
to
the
interior
of
the
site,
and
this
is
actually
caused
because
we
are
trying
to
avoid
an
impact
to
one
of
the
preserved
trees
on
the
site.
We
are
asking
for
a
small
increase
in
one
pile
on
sign
and
to
replace
two
directional
signs
of
one
slightly
larger
directional
sign
and
this.
This
sign
waivers
are
requested
because
we
have
three
different
uses
on
the
site,
so
there's
a
lot
of
demand
for
signage
space,
but
we
have
not
asked
for
an
a
significant
increase.
BH
BH
The
waiver
is
only
a
reduction
of
1.4
percent,
so,
as
you
can
see,
it's
a
very
minor
request
and
all
of
these
waivers
are
due
to
the
fact
that
code
requirements
put
a
lot
of
Demands
on
usage
of
a
piece
of
property,
and
so
something
has
to
give
in
the
balance.
And
in
this
particular
case
we
have
excess,
Green
Space
and
meet
other
requirements
at
which
therefore
necessitated
some
of
these
waivers.
I'd
like
to
conclude
my
remarks
by
addressing
the
commercial
locational
criteria.
BH
The
staff
report
would
lead
you
to
indicate
or
believe
that
that
the
commercial
vocational
criteria
are
mandatory,
but
these
are
merely
criteria
that
you
consider,
among
all
the
various
other
factors
that
you
consider
and
whether
or
not
to
approve
or
not
approve
a
rezoning
application.
So
it
is
totally
within
the
purview
of
city
council
to
decide
whether
it's
appropriate
to
allow
this
commercial
use
on
the
property
and
I
would
point
out
that
the
daycare
it's
been
sort
of
referred
to
as
a
commercial
use
daycare
is
not
a
commercial
use.
BH
Only
the
shopping
center
on
the
other
side
of
the
property
is
a
commercial
use,
and
I
would
just
like
to
point
out
to
remind
you
of
what
Mr
Garcia
just
said.
The
commercial
was
added
at
the
request
of
the
neighborhood,
if
in
all
of
the
meetings
that
the
developers
have
had
with
the
with
the
neighborhood,
so
with
that
I'll
conclude,
our
presentation
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
BL
BL
That
is
how
we
make
projects
better,
but
even
if
they
make
it
better,
that
doesn't
mean
that
everybody
is
on
board
or
we
come
to
a
complete
agreement
on
things
as
a
lot
of
the
song,
people
have
told
you
over
and
over
again
we're
not
actually
against
development
in
South
Tampa.
We
just
feel
like
we
cannot
handle
more
residential
because
of
our
unique
geography,
commercial.
On
the
other
hand,
everybody
wants
commercial.
We
want
amenities,
so
that
part
of
it
is
good
problem
is
what
you
see.
BL
BL
BL
They
keep
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
gallons
of
water,
they
contain
it
in
their
leaves
and
their
branches,
which
mitigates
the
flooding
when
I'm
when
we're
cruising
our
land-
and
we
see
some
flooding
in
the
winter
time,
because
it's
in
an
area
that's
colder
than
here,
the
Forester
said:
don't
worry,
don't
worry
as
soon
as
the
trees
wake
up.
They
suck
it
right
up.
You
know.
The
other
things
thing
I
see
is
when
we
clear
cut
one
of
the
stands.
We
plant
600
trees
per
acre
600..
BL
We
have
flooding
when
those
trees
are
mature
when
they're
time
to
harvest
them.
We've
only
got
one
to
150
trees
per
acre.
We
don't
have
flooding
baby
trees
are
not
the
same
as
grown
trees,
and
there
is
nothing
in
the
world
more
valuable
than
time.
Nothing
is
more
valuable
than
time
and
when
you
take
30
inch,
29
inch,
28
inch
graded
beat
B
rated
trees
and
you
cut
them
down
and
you
replace
them
with
a
four
inch
tree.
You
have
wasted
time
because
they've
got
it's
going
to
take
them.
BL
80
years,
60
years,
whatever
the
staff
has
recommended
that
they
try
to
save
some
of
the
b-rated
trees,
some
of
the
c-rated
trees,
some
of
the
clumps
she
can
tell
you,
which
ones
she
can
work
with
them
and
say
what
about
this?
One
I
would
just
like
to
see
some
kind
of
effort
made
to
save
more
of
the
trees,
because
this
is
what
what
we
need.
This
is
something
that
can't
be
replaced.
Thank
you.

The
Circle
C
property
is
officially
considered
a
wooded
site.
This
property
is
unique
in
that
it's
a
relatively
untouched
four
and
a
half
acres.
It's
a
gem.
It's
gorgeous
and
large
part
because
of
its
trees.
An
extremely
rare
find
in
South
Tampa
tree
ordinances
are
in
place
for
a
reason
and
the
natural
resources
department
finds
the
rezoning
site
plan
inconsistent
for
a
reason
to
Discount
their
professional
opinion
would
be
a
shame.
BM
BM
The
professionals
at
the
Hillsborough
County
Planning
Commission
also
do
not
support.
The
rezoning
here
are
just
two
of
the
reasons
why
Lu
policy
9.2.6
encourages
attached.
Single-Family
uses
to
be
designed
to
include
orientation
of
the
front
door
to
a
neighborhood
side,
work,
sidewalk
and
Street,
and
the
staff
also
determined
that
the
plan
development
does
not
meet
locational
criteria
because
of
the
block

to
be
50

At
the
very
least,
the
parking
for
this
proposed
strip
mall
and
daycare
should
be
in
the
back
to
help
ease
the
traffic
nightmare
for
the
residents
of
Interbay
Boulevard,
and
this
planned
strip.
Mall
is
perplexing
to
me.
It
would
have
a
coffee
shop,
a
restaurant,
a
medical
office
and
a
nail
salon
just
over
one
thousand
feet
away.
BM
If
this
zoning
is
granted,
the
council
is
opening
a
can
of
worms
by
allowing
this
commercial
encroachment
on
a
residential
neighborhood.
As
you
know,
the
law
states
that,
in
order
to
change
this
to
plan
development,
there
must
be
a
unique
condition
or
situation
which
other
zoning
districts
cannot
accommodate,
including,
but
specifically,
not
limited
to
unusual
physical
or
environmental
features.
How
would
that
apply
to
this
tree
covered
piece
of
property?
I
would
say
rather
clearly
it
does
just
the
opposite.
BM
Hillsborough
County
Environmental
lands
management
also
agrees
and
said
it
would
quote
work
well
as
an
addition
to
Skyview
Park
to
the
east,
but
that
would
be
a
decision
for
the
City
of
Tampa,
since
they
are
the
governing
body
for
that
area.

Oh
Pam
said
the
park
word:
I'm
gonna
build
a
park,
it's
expensive
land
we're
going
to
build
a
park
on
it.
What
are
we
going
to
do?
What
are
we
going
to?
Do?
People
go
play
there?
Maybe
maybe
maybe
we
can
put
trees
on
this
park
with
the
mythical
mitigation
fund
that
has
millions
of
dollars
in
it
and
we're
looking
for
places
to
plant
trees?
Maybe
we
could
do
that.
You
know.
Maybe
we
could
do
that
surfacing
if
this
was
a

D
You
know
it's
like,
oh,
really,
a
matter
of

this

doesn't
fit
at

thought

as

I
thought
they
could
bring
me
back
to

pretty
quick

they
did
thank
God.

There
are
bees

C's
in
that
property
that
need
to
be
pruned

fixed,

maybe
the
applicants
arborists
might
not
think
so
surprisingly,

it
can
happen
right,
you
can
go
in

you
can
actually
get

back
to

not
asking

to
say
no

talk
all
the

cut
them
down
and
let's
go
ahead
and
put
up
another
condo,
another
another
strip.
D
Mall,
let's
go
ahead
and
do
that
but
I'm,
you
know:
I'm
a
I'm,
a
reasonable
man,
they're
coming
here
to
look
for
10
they're,
looking
to
save
10
of
these
trees.
When
we
are,
you
know
it
says
you
got
to
say:
50.
you
got
to
save
50.
No,
no!
We
don't
want
to
say
50..
We
got
a
a
big
old
Grand
on
the
one
side.
We
got
a
big
old
Grand
over
there
and
we
might
save
them
yeah.
We
did
save
them
right.
D
Well,
no,
let's
get
let's,
let's
save
two
grams
13
protected
and
46
a
b
or
c
trees
and
go
ahead
and
build
your
condos,
say
50
and
then
let's
go
ahead
and
mitigate
with
some
really
beautiful
trees.
That'll
grow
up
to
be
fantastic
trees
because
we're
not
going
to
turn
this
into
a
park.
You're
not
going
to
buy
this
from
these
guys.
We
won't
as
a
city.
We
won't
do
it.
We
should.
We
should
start
thinking
about
micro
parks,
that's
something
that
would
have
some
staying
power.
D
Nobody's
gonna,
remember
these
condos
when
they
turn
into
30-year
condos
in
30
years,
but
they'd.
Remember
a
micro
Park.
They
remember
the
trees,
we
put
land
them
in
and
they
would.
This
is
a
crime.
That's
this
circle.
Sea
Ranch
is
going
away
and
this
piece
of
property
is
going
around.
It
is
a
unique
place
of
trees
that
will
never
ever
be
back.
It'll,
never
ever
be
back
and
we're
just
going
to
let
them
take
it
away
and
I
hope
you
don't.

BN
Good
evening
my
name
is
Shanique
and
I
currently
reside
in
220
East
Madison
here
in
downtown
Tampa
I
chose
to
attend
tonight
to
speak
in
support
of
the
project
because,
as
a
renter
in
downtown
Tampa
I
believe
that
there
is
a
severe
problem
in
the
housing
market
in
the
area.
Not
only
do
I
live
in
the
area,
but
I
also
happen
to
be
part
of
the
workforce
that
has
to
wake
up
tomorrow
morning
to
go
to
work.
BN
I
am
a
healthcare
worker
in
a
clinic
in
South
Tampa
and
coincidentally,
today,
I
was
speaking
with
a
co-worker
about
how
difficult
it
is.
It
is
and
it
has
been
to
find,
affordable
housing
close
to
our
office.
I
am
lucky
enough
to
reside
in
the
community
that
I
do,
but
most
of
my
co-workers
commute
upwards
of
35
minutes
just
to
get
to
work
on
time.
That
is
without
traffic.
BN
Looking
for
affordable
places
to
live
has
been
a
nightmare
not
only
for
me,
but
for
most
of
my
friends
and
colleagues
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Area.
Most
of
us,
including
myself,
hope
to
eventually
buy
our
homes
and
we
are
currently
forced
to
rent
all
while
competing
with
the
fast
increasing
prices
in
the
area.
This
project
would
give
people
like
us
the
chance
to
not
only
decrease
our
commute
significantly
but
to
be
able
to
enjoy
all
that.

Good
evening
my
name
is
Ashley
Ramirez
and
I
currently
live
at
808
North
Franklin
Street
here
in
downtown
Tampa
for
23
years,
I
have
been
a
local
to
south
of
Gandhi.
I
am
an
alumni
from
Robinson
High
School
Madison,
Middle
School
and
Ballast
Point
Elementary
School
I
have
seen
south
of
Gandhi
go
through
many
phases
throughout
my
life
and
the
mass
majority
of
these
changes
have
been
for
the
greater
good
of
the
community,
with
the
many
changes
that
have
come.
BO
Cost
of
living
has
risen
with
the
influx
of
new
arrivals
to
the
area
and
minimal
current
residencies
South
Tampa
does
have
to
offer.
Finding
a
place
to
live
is
very
difficult.
It
is
actually
the
reason
why
I
had
left
after
living
in
downtown
the
downtown
area.
For
the
last
four
years,
I
have
grown
into
loving
the
urban
lifestyle.
BO
That's
within
walking
distance
from
my
home
walking
to
areas
such
as
the
Riverwalk
reminds
me
of
being
home
south
of
Gandhi
at
Ballast,
Point
and
picnic
Island
I
believe
in
support
in
the
Interbay
Commons
project,
because
adding
more
houses
for
purchase
that's
affordable
would
make
locals
like
myself,
move
back
home
I
respectfully
request
that
you
approve
this
project.
Thank
you.
BG
My
name
is
Kristen
Hollis
and
I
currently
reside
at
808,
North
Franklin,
Street
I
believe
that
Tampa
is
in
a
housing
crisis.
There's
just
simply
more
demand.
Moving
there
than
Supply
I've
been
looking
to
purchase
my
own
home
here
at
the
last
several
years,
but
unfortunately,
prices
in
South
Tampa
have
skyrocketed
yet
I
continue
to
see
multi-family
properties
being
built
being
Property
Management
myself.
This
is
what
I
do
sole
focus
on.
We
just
need
more
supply
of
homes
to
purchase.
BG
What
I
like
most
about
the
inner
bay
Commons
project
is
that
it
is
a
multi-use
I,
also
like
the
fact
that
I
could
walk
to
and
from
a
market
nearby.
Restaurants
Etc
as
I
do
not
own
a
vehicle.
This
would
be
the
perfect
type
of
property
that
I'll
be
looking
for
in
myself.
Interested
in
purchasing
I
just
believe,
there's
a
huge
demand
for
this
type
of
multi-use
property,
especially
in
this
area.
I
support
this
project
and
humbly.
BG
BP
Having
served
for
two
decades,
I
I
would
really
like
for
everyone
to
know
that
having
military
members
reside
as
close
as
possible
to
their
base
of
assignment
is
as
crucial
to
military
Readiness
as
high
quality
training
military
basis
offers
a
lot
of
support
to
military
members,
chaplains
counselors
financial
help.
All
of
these
things
are
on
base
and
for
an
armed,
forced
member.
The
great
thing
about
living
near
Military
Base
is
having
immediate
and
close
access
to.
All
of
these
benefits.
BP
Demand
for
housing
is
greater
than
Supply
and
that
number
will
continue
to
rise
unless
a
change
occurs.
I
support
the
inner
base
Commons
project
because
it
will
provide
affordable
housing
in
South
Tampa,
and
it
is
a
part
of
the
change
that
is
needed
to
address
the
housing
shortage
problem
in
Tampa.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
BQ
Hello,
I'm,
Sally,
Harris
I
reside
at
4504,
South
Ferncroft,
Circle,
Tampa,
Florida
and
I
am
the
owner
of
Circle
C
Ranch
41
years,
the
owner
of
Circle
C
Ranch
and
yes,
we
do
have
some
trees
that
are
ready
to
fall
down,
but
we
have
some
beautiful,
beautiful
trees.
Circle
C
has
been
an
icon
in
the
community
for
a
long
time.
During
that
time,
I've
had
probably
a
hundred
offers
to
buy
Circle
C,
many
of
them
I,
wouldn't
even
talk
to
some
of
them.
BQ
BQ
BQ
BQ
I
want
to
retire,
and
my
children
grown
children
don't
want
to
run
Circle
C.
So
when
I
leave
the
horses
leave
because
it
was
grandfathered
in
with
me,
so
the
only
thing
it
can
be
is
either
a
Child,
Care,
Center
or
a
development.
So
I
think
this
project
was
The
Best
of
Both
Worlds
it
does
it
all
it
lets.
The
mcdill
still
have
the
child
care
it
lets
the
trees
stay
in
most
cases
and
the
ones
he's
going
to
put
back
are
awesome
and
I.
AT
BF
AT
BF
Good
evening,
members
of
the
council,
thank
you
for
hearing
this
very
important
project.
I'm
Jack,
Rose
Chief
impact
officer
for
the
Tampa
JCC's
in
Federation,
522
North,
Howard,
Avenue,
Tampa,
33606.
I,
am
speaking
in
support
of
interbate
Commons,
you've
heard
from
both
David
Sher
from
Sally
that
we
will
soon
be
displaced.
After
over
two
decades
of
providing
Premier
early
childhood
education
at
Road
of
Shalom
property.
BF
We
will
be
displaced
as
part
of
the
natural
growth
of
the
area,
but
we
fully
intend
to
continue
to
service
the
South
Tampa
families
with
early
Premiere
early
childhood
education
and
have
been
in
serious
discussions
with
the
sure
Development
Group
regarding
child
licensing
and
other
aspects.
By
way
of
full
disclosure.
We
are
looking
at
other
sites
and
every
everything
will
depend
on
cost
of
course,
and
timelines.
R
BH
BK
BK
If
just
well,
I
did
an
analysis.
If
we
attempted
to
provide
the
50
percent
unmuted,
then
it
would
result
in
a
loss
of
13
town
homes
or
a
building
a
commercial
building
or
some
combination
thereof,
which
is
roughly
half
the
entitlements
we're
proposing,
and
that's
so
based
on
that
level
of
impact
to
the
request,
we're
respectfully
requesting
the
relief
from
the
50
percent.
BK
There's
no
consideration
given
in
the
code
currently
for
the
fact
that
there's
a
lower
retention
percentage
required
for
the
commercial
portion,
25
percent,
all
single
family
style
units
in
the
city
from
the
base
to
K
Bar
Ranch,
are
subject
to
this
50
provision
independent
of
their
density.
So
with
that
Nuance
I
request
your
consideration
for
this
waiver
request.
BH
BH
Increasing
housing
inventory
tends
to
bring
the
values
down
for
or
or
make
housing
available
for
a
larger
group
of
people,
which
is
to
the
benefit,
because
right
now
there
is
a
shortage.
So
in
any
case,
we
did
not
propose
to
suggest
in
any
way
that
the
project
is
a
four
affordable
housing
and
I
would
just
ask
Mr
Garcia
to
wrap
up
our
presentation.
BJ
Just
very
quickly,
you
know,
one
of
our
our
Target
markets,
for
this
clearly
is,
is
mcdill
Air,
Force,
Base
Service
members,
as
some
of
the
the
comments
were
made,
the
daycare
and
and
the
lack
of
affordable
housing
is
a
big
issue
for
service
members
in
in
MacDill
Air
Force
Base.
So
we
we
just
think
it's
a
great
project.
It
could
fit
in
the
area,
also
a
positive
potential
decreasing
traffic
as
these
commits
go
down.
Thank
you
very
much.

BK

Three
per
tree,
I
guess,
and
that's
so
we
generated
220
or
230
total
inches
230
total
trees
as
part
of
the
mitigation
requirements
generated
from
the
the
current
site.
We're
proposing
approximately
180
back
a
hundred
of
them
will
approximately
will
be
twice
the
size
resulting
in
double
the
tree.

BA
That
there,
the
Aaron
mayor
development
coordination,
they
do
have
a
note
under
natural
resources
already
on
the
site
plan,
stating
that
all
type
1
replacement
trees
shall
be
a
minimum
of
four
inch.
Caliber
I
didn't
even
know
that
that
that's
just
the
type
1
trees
and
that's
due
to
availability
in
nurseries
and
so
wherever
possible,
they
were
going
to
do
four
inch.
Caliper.
M
I
I
want
to
ask
a
question
of
Ricky
Please
Mr
President,
so
the
Public's,
the
the
public
in
public
comment.
They
requested
that
we
that
someone
try
to
bring
these
failing
trees
back
to
good
health,
so
part
A
is:
is
that
possible?
What
would
it
take
to
do
that
part?
B
is
you're
bringing
you
said:
A
diversity
of
trees,
but
there
still
is
that
maybe
pH
problem.
So
how
will
how
will
that
affect
those
those
trees
that
you're
going
to
put
in,
and
also
the
Grand
Oaks,
that
you're
saving
sure.
BK
That
they
canceled
part
one.
Yes,
there
is
a
potential
to
improve
the
health
of
of
preserved
trees
and
we
will
need
to
because
we
are
preserving
some
in
in
in
in
this
case
or
in
a
case
of
where,
where
there
may
be
a
different
site
plan,
the
steps
that
I
started,
taking,
which
was
a
soil
test,
are
begin
to
start
that
process.
So
we've
identified
nutrients.
That
could
be
you
that
need
to
be
included
in
a
fertilization
spec
and
we
identified
a
maybe
not
too
low
but
lower
than
I
expected
pH.
BK
Any
development
proposed
would
likely
increase
the
pH
anyways
because
we'd
be
incorporating
concrete
and
that
would
raise
the
PA
pH,
so
that
would
address
the
proposed
trees
being
more
acclimated
to
a
less
acid
soil.
It
would
still
probably
be
somewhat
acid,
but
within
a
tolerable
range.
So
I
can't
speak
to
exactly
what
that
will
be
without
going
through
a
fertilization
specification,
but
we're
going
in
the
right
direction,
we're
not
already
too
alkaline
and
we
won't
be
able
to
bring
that
down.
That
would
be
a
more
challenging
scenario.
I
BH
I'm
sorry
I
can't
really
speak
to
that,
because
I
haven't
represented
her
representing
the
developer
group,
although
it
is
commonly
understood
that
if
you
establish
a
use
that
is
legal
at
the
time
and
the
code
changes.
So
that
is
no
longer
allows
how
horses
to
be
on
the
property
you
would
be
grandfathered
in,
but
I
can't
speak
to
the
particulars
there
can.
R
E
P
P
In
specifically,
although
the
proposed
rezoning
would
be
an
encroachment
of
commercial
uses
in
a
residential
area
due
to
the
fact
that
it
does
not
meet
locational
criteria.
The
proposed
PD
does
provide
a
range
of
uses
near
housing
and
would
contribute
to
the
diverse
housing
options
in
the
South
Tampa
planning
district
in
accordance
with
land
use
policies,
1.1.8
and
1.2.8.
It
also
compliance
with
Land
Development
code.
Section
27-136
proposed
development,
as
shown
on
the
site,
plan,
promotes
or
encourages,
and.
P
Location
character
and
compatibility
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood
proposed
uses
promotes
the
efficient
and
sustainable
use
of
land
and
infrastructure
Also
regarding
any
waivers
compliance
with
27-1394,
the
design
of
the
proposed
development
is
unique
and
therefore
in
need
of
waivers,
the
requested
waivers
will
not
substantially
interfere
with
or
injure
the
rights
of
others
whose
property
would
be
affected
by
the
waivers.
That
is
my
motion.
E
O
O
I
I'm
not
happy
about
the
trees
either.
The
the
situation
with
this,
though,
is
that,
based
on
the
testimony
we
got
anyway,
it
can't
stay
as
it
is.
The
city
has
no
money
to
buy
Parks.
Unfortunately,
I
wish
we
did,
but
the
I
presume
that
the
city
refused
to
or
couldn't
afford
to
buy
it
there's
a
owner
who
is
looking
to
plan
A
diversity
of
trees
and
try
to
save
what
trees
they
can,
including
the
Grand,
Oaks
and
and
also
bring
a
school
there
that's
needed
by
mcdill.

C

Good
evening,
Council
Annie
Bard's
development
coordination.
The
next
case
before
you
use
Rez
2275.
The
request
is
rezoned
from
rm24
and
PD
to
PD
for
an
emergency
shelter
facility,
commercial
off
street
parking
and
business
professional
office.
I'm,
going
to
turn
over
the
presentation
to
the
plaintiff.
S
S
Here
is
an
aerial
map
on
the
subject
site
it's
bound
by
7th
Avenue
North
Florida,
Avenue,
Henderson
and
North
Morgan
Street.
The
surrounding
area
is
a
mixture
of
commercial
uses
with
some
multi-family.
You
can
see
the
multi-family
development
over
here.
There's
some
single-family
attached
development
down
here,
but
almost
everything
on
the
other
west
of
Morgan
Street
is
commercial
and
character.
A
size
probably
from
the
Baptist
Tower
up
here
here
is
the
adopted
future
land
use.
S
S
So
this
request
is
a
little
bit
of
a
long-winded
one
for
the
Planning
Commission
finding
on
this,
the
business
professional
office
and
emergency
shelter
that
were
approved
previously
on
this
rezone
previously
on
the
site
through
a
PD
in
2019
and
planning
commissions.
Finding
for
that
was
inconsistent
due
to
the
fact
that
emergency
shelter
is
defined
in
section
27-43
definitions
of
the
lane
development
code,
but
it
is
not
listed
as
a
as
a
use
in
table
4-1.
The
comprehensive
plan
recognizes
the
importance
of
planned
development
zoning
districts.
S
Pds
can
utilize
can
be
utilized
to
reflect
the
standard
of
development
that
differs
from
standard
euclidean
districts?
However,
since
the
PD,
since
the
use
on
the
PD
emergency
shelter
is
not
listed
on
the
land
use
table
or
on
the
table
4-1,
there
is
no
direction
on
which
zoning
districts
or
underlying
future
land
use
designations.
This
use
belongs
to
since
the
proposaly
zoning
still
has
emergency
shelter
listed
on
the
site
plan.
Planning
Commission
staff
has
found
that
the
inconsistency
still
applies,
while
the
proposed
use
of
an
emergency
shelter
is
inconsistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
S
The
proposed
parking
lot
can
be
considered
within
the
residential
83
future
land
use,
designation
and
the
residential
and
the
rm24
Zone
portion
of
the
subject
side.
The
lane
development
code
allows
for
consideration
of
off-street
parking
for
commercial
uses
in
the
rm24
zoning
district,
with
approval
of
a
rezoning.
The
proposed
PT
is
also
eligible
to
utilize
Lu
policy
5.1.6,
which
allows
the
applicant
to
spread
the
allowable
uses
across
the
entire
site,
with
the
approval
of
PD
zoning
and
parking
lots
are
allowed
and
the
community
commercial
35
future
land
use
designation.
S
The
PD
proposes
removing
existing
driveway
opens
on
the
site
that
currently
interface,
the
multi-family
development
and
the
designated
r83
future
land
use
designation
on
North
Morgan
Street.
Instead,
the
vehicular
access
will
be
from
East
Henderson
Avenue
interfacing
Parcels
that
are
designated
Community
commercial
35..
This
is
consistent
with
the
policy
Direction
and
The
comprehensive
plan
which
encourages
minimal
color
cuts
to
cut
minimal,
curb
cuts
to
minimize
the
negative
impacts
to
non-residential
development
on
adjacent
residential
uses.
S
The
PD
is
also
not
requesting
any
waivers
to
buffer
or
screening
and
the
applicant
is
providing
the
appropriate
vehicle
use,
buffering
adjacent
to
the
right-of-ways
in
the
proposed
parking
lot.
Overall,
the
request
is
inconsistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
due
to
the
use
on
the
site
plan
that
is
not
listed
in
table
4-1
of
the
Land
Development
code.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
E
S
R
R
It
was
to
reduce
the
number
of
parking
spaces
to
allow
local
Street
direct
access,
rather
than
an
arterial
collector,
allow
loading
to
occur
more
than
one
continuous
maneuver
and
to
reduce
the
vua
along
the
north
and
then
I'm
going
to
go
into
my
presentation
and
then
okay.
So
again,
Rez
2275
is
to
request
a
rezone
from
rm24
and
PD
to
PD
for
emergency
shelter,
facility,
commercial
off
street
parking
and
business
professional
office.
R
The
property
has
the
current
use
of
an
emergency,
shelter
and
business
professional
office,
which
is
approved
in
December
2019..
This
new
proposed
PD
is
to
add
existing
or
add
land
to
the
east.
At
Henderson
Avenue
for
additional
commercial
parking,
the
site
is
approximately
1.6
acres
and
48
parking
spaces
are
required
and
now
69
parking
spaces
are
provided.
R
Properties
to
the
north,
have
business
professional
office
uses
they're,
zoned,
pdci
and
arm
24
to
the
east
is
a
multi-family
residential,
multi-family
and
properties
to
the
South
include
a
parking
lot.
A
school
and
an
office
and
properties
to
the
West
are
developed
with
a
warehouse
and
parking
lot.
I'm
going
to
show
the
subject:
property
overhead,
just
north
of
East
Henderson.
R
And
then
Northwest
of
the
subject
site,
additional
commercial
uses
and
most
of
the
site
at
the
intersection
of
North
Florida
Avenue
and
East
Henderson
Avenue
development
and
review
compliance
staff
has
reviewed,
found
their
Quest
consistent.
No
additional
waivers
are
being
requested.
It's
just
to
add
the
property
to
the
east
I'm
available
for
any
questions
to
have.
BR
BR
Er
400
North
Ashley
Drive
for
the
record
I'll,
be
pretty
brief.
With
this
I
think
it's
pretty
straightforward.
The
property
is
located
at
the
northeast
corner
of
Florida
and
Henderson,
as
Annie
already
went
over
just
over
an
acre
and
a
half,
it's
consisted
of
three
different
Parcels.
As
you
can
see,
almost
an
entire
city
block
I'm
a
little
bit
of
background
on
this
application.
BR
I
know
we
mentioned
the
prior
rezoning,
so
all
of
the
land
that's
highlighted
in
yellow,
which
is
actually
a
single
parcel
that
Salvation
Army
owns
that
was
rezoned
in
back
in
2019
under
Rez
1924.
That
was
a
proposal
from
cia24
to
PD
that
did
allow
for
that
emergency
shelter
facility
that
Sam
referenced
earlier
as
well
as
VPO
uses.
BR
So
our
post
application
today,
as
Andy
mentioned,
is
merely
adding
new
residential
portals,
the
the
ones
in
the
shown
rated
in
red,
adding
those
to
the
existing
PD
and
the
reason
for
this,
because
our
client
has
come
under
ownership
of
the
parcel
shown
shaded
in
blue
the
old
holsinger
building.
That
is
an
older
building
and
we
want
to
do
an
Adaptive
reuse
there
and
keep
that
in
its
existing
configuration
and
right
now
the
site
is
severely
under
parked
and
I'll
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail.
