Key actions taken on second reading included: - VAC25‑19 (Item 36): Ordinance vacating an alley in the Enterprise subdivision (north of 7th Ave / south of 9th Ave / east of 42nd St / west of 43rd St). Roll call: Maniscalco Yes; Hertack No; Young Yes; Viera Yes; Carlson Yes; Miranda Yes; Clendenin Yes. Motion passed. - VAC25‑15 (Item 37): Ordinance vacating portions of 31st Street and 15th Avenue north of I‑4 and related rights‑of‑way; adopted unanimously on second reading following staff presentation and petitioner attendance. - E2025‑8 / CH27 (Item 38): Publicly initiated city code text amendment restoring Ybor City parking requirements (effective retroactively to Aug. 1, 2024) in response to state law changes; adopted unanimously. - Extension of reverter clause (Item 39): Council extended a five‑year reverter clause for a previously vacated right‑of‑way an additional five years to allow time to commence vertical construction; adopted unanimously. - REZ25‑104 (Item 40) — 4311 W. Grama St.: Rezoned from RS‑50 to PD for single‑family attached uses; adopted (one recorded no vote by Hertack earlier in the roll‑call sequence). - REZ25‑105 (Item 41) — 1112 W. LaSalle St.: Rezoned RS‑50 to PD for single‑family semi‑detached; adopted unanimously on second reading. - REZ25‑128 (Item 42) — 3812 Pinewood St.: Rezoned PD to PD for hotel use after agreed revisions and a staff review; adopted unanimously. - REZ26‑01 (Item 43) — 1942–1948 W. Spruce St.: Rezoned RS‑50 to PD for single‑family detached uses with certified site plans and historic‑overlay conditions; adopted unanimously.
Council also approved many consent‑agenda group motions earlier in the meeting (items 4–35, 49–54 and additional grouped blocks), proceeding by roll‑call votes. The chair noted staff presence where required and moved several items for second readings and hearings later in the day.
What this means: The council moved a batch of land‑use and administrative ordinances forward, many unanimously. One recorded dissent was noted on item 36; otherwise the second‑reading items passed. Several substantive policy debates (notably the South Howard Flood Relief Project grant, item 32) remained unresolved and were scheduled for continuation after lunch.
