Council approves conditional use for Florida College at 501 Bullard Parkway
Summary
The City of Temple Terrace City Council approved a conditional use (CU24-03) to allow Florida College to use 501 Bullard Parkway as a college/university site; the college has occupied the building since 2004 and plans interior renovations and ADA upgrades.
The City of Temple Terrace City Council on March 28 approved a conditional use application (CU24-03) that will formally allow Florida College to operate at 501 Bullard Parkway.
Planner Malik (staff) presented the 0.9-acre parcel, noting the site’s existing parking layout and proposed interior renovations that include classrooms, labs, offices and restroom upgrades as well as ADA accessibility changes. "The work for the site included interior renovation," Malik said, adding the applicant will relocate disabled parking and add an ADA ramp.
Cammy Corbett, attorney for the applicant, told council Florida College has owned the property since February 2004 and has operated it as a college. "They've owned the property since 02/2004 and it's been in continual use as a college or a university all of that time," Corbett said. The applicant said the renovation will lower the building’s student capacity compared with prior operations.
Council took the public hearing and then voted to approve the resolution authorizing the conditional use; council members noted the action brings the property into formal compliance. The resolution requires the project to follow the approved site plan and standard regulations. No amendments to the proposal were adopted at the hearing.
Context: The zoning remains R-10 (single family) but the conditional use permits a college/university use on the parcel; any future exterior or operational changes beyond the approved site plan would be subject to city review.
