Council reopens and re‑reads ordinance for 3003 West Cypress, then approves special‑use ordinance unanimously
Summary
After council recalled item 60, rescinded the prior second‑reading vote, re‑read the ordinance title as filed and then unanimously approved the ordinance authorizing alcoholic beverage sales at 3003 West Cypress Street.
Tampa City Council recalled item 60, rescinded the prior second‑reading action so the ordinance title could be read exactly as filed, and then approved the ordinance at second reading without opposition.
The procedural issue arose when a council attorney called attention to a correction that had been made during first reading and said that the corrected ordinance title had not been read at second reading in the record. Councilman Glendesen moved to reopen item 60; after discussion the council voted to rescind the earlier second‑reading vote so the clerk could read the official ordinance title as it appears on file. The clerk then read the ordinance aloud, which approves a special use permit for alcoholic beverage sales (on‑premises consumption for large‑venue and package off‑premises sales) at a lot located at 3003 West Cypress Street, including standard repeal and effective‑date language. The council then took the second‑reading vote and recorded it as unanimous.
Action: Motion to reopen and to rescind prior vote so the title could be read; after the title was re‑read the ordinance was approved on second reading by unanimous roll‑call vote.
