Votes at a glance: Council approves multiple rezoning and committee packages; two land items continued after tie votes
Summary
At its Jan. 9 meeting the Tampa City Council approved a slate of committee items and several rezoning ordinances on second reading; two related land items — a vacating petition and a rezoning — were continued after tied votes and will return Jan. 23.
The Tampa City Council handled a broad batch of business on Jan. 9, approving committee packages and multiple zoning ordinances on second reading, setting public hearings and continuing two contested land items after tie votes.
Key outcomes - Item 3 (Human Rights Board reappointment): Motion to reappoint Trevor Rosine to the Human Rights Board was approved by voice vote. - Committee packages: Council approved grouped committee items across Public Safety, Neighborhood and Community Affairs, Development & Economic Opportunities, and Mobility & Asset Management (items 4–40), with item 29 pulled for later discussion as requested by a council member. - Rezoning ordinances on second reading passed (examples): - REZ24‑09 (4913 N. MacDill Ave) — adopted on second reading by roll call; council vote recorded as unanimous with Councilmember Carlson absent. - REZ24‑77 (4720 N. Clark Ave) — adopted unanimously on second reading with Carlson absent. - REZ24‑94 (4107 & 4115 W. Bruce St) — adopted unanimously on second reading with Carlson absent. - REZ24‑107 (203 S. Moody Ave) — adopted unanimously on second reading with Carlson absent. - REZ25‑11 (2705 & 2708 N. 18th St) — adopted unanimously on second reading with Carlson absent. - Contested items continued: Two linked matters, the alley vacating ordinance (item 44) and a related rezoning (item 45), failed to receive the four votes required for passage and were continued to Jan. 23, 2025, at 10 a.m. The record shows the council vote was tied 3‑3 on the vacating petition and the council instructed staff and legal to reopen the hearings on the Jan. 23 meeting.
Why it matters: The approvals advance development projects and zoning classifications across the city and clear multiple items for implementation. The continuances mean the applicant for the vacating petition must return with any additional materials and that a full council quorum will consider the items at the next regular meeting.
What comes next: Council will rehear items 44 and 45 on Jan. 23. Other passed ordinances will be implemented as provided in the city code and project teams will proceed with revised plans and permitting.
