City council OKs first reading for PD change at North 56th/58th Street to allow larger mixed‑use buildings
Summary
Council approved on first reading a planned-development modification (RZP 24-02) that increases approved building sizes and adds office space at 11801 N. 56th St. and 11714 N. 58th St., with conditions including a required minimum of 195 parking spaces and a removal of an initial outdoor‑seating restriction.
The City of Temple Terrace City Council on Jan. 7 approved on first reading an amendment to a planned development for 3.54 acres at 11801 North 56th Street and 11714 North 58th Street (RZP 24-02), allowing the conversion and expansion of two commercial buildings into a larger mixed‑use development.
Under the amended plan presented by city planner Miranda Anaya and the applicant’s representative Todd Pressman, Building 1 would be increased to a two‑story structure of roughly 21,000 square feet to contain restaurant and related uses; Building 2 would be roughly 23,300 square feet to accommodate restaurant, office and retail uses. The applicant requested two deviations: fewer bicycle parking spaces than the LDC requires (20 provided vs. 24 required) and a reduced vehicle parking count (195 provided vs. 232 required under a worst‑case restaurant calculation). Staff said it had no objection to the bicycle‑parking deviation and noted the developer projected mixed uses rather than 100% restaurant; staff and the Development Review Committee found the application compatible with the prior PD approval and the comprehensive plan.
Planning staff recommended eight conditions of approval, including that the final site plan be submitted within two years, that building elevations be bound by the submitted renderings, and that at least 195 parking spaces be provided. Staff initially inserted a condition prohibiting outdoor seating because the project already sought a parking deviation; after discussions with the applicant staff agreed the applicant could revise the parking calculations to include proposed outdoor seating and the council removed condition 6 (the no‑outdoor‑seating restriction) so that outdoor seating will be allowed if the updated calculations are provided on second reading.
Todd Pressman, speaking for the applicant, said the site had been an abandoned restaurant that is now under active redevelopment and that the mixed‑use plan will be an asset to the city. No residents registered formal opposition during the review process, the applicant said, and the Planning Commission found the proposal consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Councilmember Chambers moved approval of first reading including staff conditions with removal/modification of condition 6; the motion passed unanimously. The ordinance will return for second reading and public hearing on Jan. 21, 2025, and final approvals will be conditioned on submission and review of the final site plan and landscape buffering details for adjacent single‑family residences to the east.
Ending: Staff said it will review final landscape buffers and parking calculations at the final site‑plan stage; council members asked staff to ensure adequate buffering for the single‑family homes east of the property.
