Christopher Dimanche, development coordination staff, described the site plan showing two parcels: Parcel A (about 50 feet wide) with a proposed 2,135-square-foot single-story dwelling and Parcel B (about 45 feet wide) with a proposed 1,919-square-foot single-story dwelling and a one-car garage. Dimanche said a sidewalk is proposed along East Fairbanks Street but not along North 18th Street because of existing trees in the right of way; staff found the request consistent with the City of Tampa land development code and asked that minor site-plan modifications shown on the revision sheet be completed between first and second reading.

Emily Phelan, Planning Commission staff, said the site is inside the Sulphur Springs neighborhood and the proposed lot widths (45 and 50 feet) fit within the block’s existing widths and the density expected under the Residential 10 future land use designation. Owner-applicant Ali Masur said he demolished a deteriorated house on the parcel, cleared code-enforcement issues and intends to build two single-story homes meeting all setback and PD requirements.

Council moved and seconded the ordinance for first reading and approved it unanimously.

Christopher Dimanche and Emily Phelan, planning commission staff, presented competing analyses. Development Coordination staff told council the rezoning (REZ2506) was inconsistent with the broader study-area development pattern used in the staff conforming-map analysis and cited Comprehensive Plan policy 9.3.8 as the analytical basis. Staff’s study area identified that, overall, about 51% of parcels had widths of 60 feet or greater and 49% were narrower, and staff said the request was not consistent with the existing development pattern in the overall study area.

Emily Phelan, Planning Commission staff, countered that in the immediate vicinity and on the subject block the proposed RS-50 zoning would be consistent with the density anticipated under the Residential 10 future land use designation and would permit two lots approximately 50–56 feet wide, “consistent with the established lot pattern of the neighborhood.” Phelan recommended approval, noting the proposal supports infill development on an underutilized site.

Applicant Alex Rios of Rios Architecture argued the rezoning aligns with nearby precedents and is compatible with adjacent higher-density zoning (PD and RM-24) to the north; he highlighted a recent comparable approval at 206 Chippewa Avenue. A public speaker, Haley Dalton, identified herself as a public policy student and supported the rezoning, citing policy LU objectives on compatible development and infill.

Council members questioned staff about why certain blocks were included in the study area and why other nearby higher-density parcels (PD, RM) were excluded from particular elements of staff’s analysis. The exchange underscored competing interpretations of which surrounding parcels should inform consistency with the development pattern.

The council moved and seconded the ordinance for first reading; the motion passed unanimously. Second reading and adoption were scheduled for May 15, 2025, at 10 a.m. at Old City Hall.","Council voted unanimously on first reading to rezone 118 Bosphorus Avenue from RS-60 to RS-50 to allow subdivision into two single-family parcels; city staff said the request was inconsistent with the development pattern used in staff’s analysis while Planning Commission staff and the applicant argued consistency and cited precedents.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6260714,"Council advances small-venue alcohol request at Jade North Hyde Park on first reading",549,2207000,2756000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3128771-0345eeacedf01aec25eac27fc2807170&start=2207&end=2756","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3128771-0345eeacedf01aec25eac27fc2807170/thumbnail_2207000.jpg","/articles/6260714/Tampa/Hillsborough-County/Florida/Council-advances-small-venue-alcohol-request-at-Jade-North-Hyde-Park-on-first-reading","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6260714-38457affa797f9687f57b396c997f597/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448373&Signature=DnGYK6UFam48Z2vDMcppxU5N-2FmZ9k8vj2Nfpcwhfj9cPPlSTZNoq9swPFK2KS-Pmhv2o6bdL2EJgtGUWR3qZveCAH41jc~dA5k5HgM5yZqLLbrFfjjEKxTT8wWsHhUC3HRsEj~QQM5xfl0hoyHB9QIQ85ggAsg0nABHij7EGBCoIYKpTuqQviOIrgEmWM7qH3MAHSGSNZZp8Azum~WnqqoL5gtphCjxQcj~VGJ~OdA~MrGo8UWuhmMDUdkw-26vqr1~c~qU~u2NMqEt4jdwdytFCJj6rDu247nt9pnxenLNjQmf21owLPuNNxbwmZ2Tin8ut-vhpOwLxMZkIe6xg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tampa City Council approved first-reading consideration of an ordinance to allow small-venue alcoholic beverage sales (beer, wine and liquor) with on-premises consumption and package sales for Unit A100 at 608 North Willow Avenue, in the Jada North Hyde Park complex.

Leo DeBartolayman, development coordination, said the applicant requests a total alcoholic beverage sales area of about 2,373 square feet (1,942 square feet indoor and 831 square feet outdoor). The application proposes closing times of 10 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and midnight Thursday through Sunday. DeBartolayman said staff reviewed the application and found it inconsistent with applicable city land development regulations and noted one waiver request related to distance separation from other alcoholic beverage establishments. He also said a supplemental revision sheet was filed the day of the hearing and that minor site-plan modifications would be required between first and second reading.

Chris Walters, who identified himself as the applicant, described the business as a coffee and wine bar with Argentine-Italian menu influences that has recently opened, and said they aim to serve the North Hyde Park neighborhood. Council members asked about bike parking; Walters said he would check with the property/landlord and that customers recently parked bikes on the patio because dedicated racks were not obvious.

Council moved the ordinance on first reading, with a motion from Council member Clendenin and a second from Council member Miranda; the motion passed unanimously. Repeal of the existing AB approval (AB12417) and a revision sheet were included in the ordinance title as presented.

Leo DeBartolayman, development coordination, summarized the request and said the application proposes a total alcoholic beverage sales area of 12,812 square feet, split into about 11,774 square feet of indoor sales area and roughly 1,038 square feet of outdoor sales. The site plan shows the outdoor area repurposed from existing space; DeBartolayman said the project proposes 95 parking spaces where 86 are required and that proposed hours of operation would be consistent with Chapter 14 of the city code. DeBartolayman also said staff reviewed the application and found it inconsistent with applicable City of Tampa land development regulations and that minor site-plan modifications were required between first and second reading. He noted one waiver was requested related to distance separation from other alcoholic beverage establishments.

Steve McElhinney, representing the applicant, described the project as a reuse of an existing banquet facility with restaurant, bakery and retail sales. He said utilities are existing and the project intends to meet West Tampa overlay design guidelines. Owner Phil Alessi Jr. spoke about the family’s multi‑generation history in West Tampa and called the project \"something very, very special.\" Alessi said his family — fourth and fifth-generation members are involved — is excited to bring the venue to the neighborhood.

Council members asked questions about bike parking and buffering from adjacent residential uses. A council member asked whether bike parking would be provided, and McElhinney said the applicant would examine covered or secure bike parking between first and second reading. McElhinney also said the project retains existing access points and would “push” service elements toward the center of the site to limit intrusion onto adjacent residential areas.

Council member Henderson moved the ordinance for first reading; Council member Viera seconded. The motion passed unanimously. The council directed staff and the applicant to address site plan revisions and the requested waiver between first and second reading. Second reading and adoption is scheduled for May 15, 2025, at 10 a.m. at Old City Hall.","The council granted first-reading approval for a special-use ordinance to allow large-venue alcoholic beverage sales at 3003 West Cypress Street (the Alessi project), including indoor and outdoor service; staff flagged code inconsistencies and a waiver for separation from other alcohol establishments was requested.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6260722,"Council approves first reading of two South Tampa comprehensive plan amendments",788,446000,1234000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3128771-0345eeacedf01aec25eac27fc2807170&start=446&end=1234","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3128771-0345eeacedf01aec25eac27fc2807170/thumbnail_446000.jpg","/articles/6260722/Tampa/Hillsborough-County/Florida/Council-approves-first-reading-of-two-South-Tampa-comprehensive-plan-amendments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6260722-e589158361dedbdfb85a3b5879e6760d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448373&Signature=by8GWe9Y-1jFdLvnmOn3T0jTPmPEQ3o1KYMLa1-d6qLoSl7Iq2so9fgR9dSZss0yWi~NY452fdV8qNzw~AfQRuNjZhz0pveirV8YSwM7v0FvPmxvDSCKRebqBYcY5qgfE1WlL0jqPrSu808r3fmG4dimmG8ODSYejU6IJWyMzOevpelWUF2qFkeZGTlWKnOB2tvu6r3Yatoq-qFQwcck8DcbIwiu2eMyay-z4sD0Qfkqp8ZWt6IKVqW2Gy9albpDURmdauSIdzdeOKtNj~rQOZ4GOI~unkR2~sh2GXT2J6DFkKUa3-tu2S1Y-XSKUrUgOIE0vdNxu0oTGR8wfzvwdA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tampa City Council unanimously approved first reading consideration for two small-scale comprehensive plan amendments affecting adjacent parcels in the Parkland Estates neighborhood of South Tampa.

The Planning Commission’s Emily Phelan, planning commission staff, told council the first privately initiated amendment (file TACPA24-19) covers approximately 0.32 acres at 706 South Moody Avenue and would change the future land use from Residential 10 (R-10) to Community Mixed Use 35 (CMU-35). Under R-10, Phelan said, the site could be considered for about three dwelling units or roughly 4,800 square feet of nonresidential uses; under CMU-35 the parcel could be considered for 11 units or about 27,800 square feet. The commission recommended the amendment as consistent with the Tampa comprehensive plan, noting proximity to two HART bus stops and surrounding nonresidential uses.

Alex Shaler, applicant representative, described the Moody Avenue property as an interior design office on a parcel “completely surrounded in a sea of nonresidential development today” and framed the request as making a small parcel’s designation compatible with surrounding uses. Shaler asked the council, “Does a single family home belong on this parcel?” — arguing R-10’s single-family orientation is out of character with the immediate built pattern.

The second amendment (file TACPA24-20), initiated by Planning Commission staff, covers about 1.5 acres at 701 South Howard Avenue. Phelan said the western portion of that parcel currently carries Residential 10 while the eastern portion carries CMU-35; the proposal would designate the entire site CMU-35. Phelan reported that under current designations the site could be considered for roughly 39 dwelling units or about 95,500 square feet; under CMU-35 the site could be considered for about 52 dwelling units or about 130,000 square feet. Staff and the Planning Commission found the change consistent with policies promoting transit-supportive density and infill.

Both amendments were approved on first reading with council members voting unanimously; second reading and adoption for both items was scheduled for May 15, 2025, at 10 a.m. at Old City Hall, 315 E. Kennedy Blvd., Third Floor.

The amendments would allow potential introduction of multifamily and commercial general uses to parcels that are adjacent to collector roadways and transit stops; the items were presented as small-scale map amendments and did not include any specific site plans or development permits. Phelan noted that nonresidential uses under R-10 would still need to meet locational criteria, while CMU-35 expands the range of residential and nonresidential square footage the parcels could be considered for under the comprehensive plan.

Councilmembers did not receive public comment on either item during the hearing. The Planning Commission’s written findings of consistency with the comprehensive plan were the principal basis staff cited when recommending the amendments to the council.","Tampa City Council voted unanimously to approve first reading for two small-scale comprehensive plan amendments in the Parkland Estates neighborhood that would reclassify parcels to Community Mixed Use (CMU 35), increasing potential residential and nonresidential capacity; second readings set for May 15.","actionData","errors"]
