Executive Summary Meeting Date: November 13, 2017 Agenda Item: TA/CPA 17-12 Future Land Use Map Amendment West Cleveland Street and South Tampania Avenue Presenter: Jennifer Malone, AICP, ext. 324 Action Necessary: Yes Summary: The Imagine 2040: Tampa Comprehensive Plan is the official document guiding the long-term development of the City of Tampa. The Planning Commission is required to make recommendations to the Tampa City Council on all proposed changes to the Imagine 2040: Tampa Comprehensive Plan pursuant to Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes and Chapter 97-351, Laws of Florida as amended. Plan Amendment TA/CPA 17-12 is a privately initiated request to amend the Imagine 2040: Tampa Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The subject site is located in the Central Tampa Planning District and Palma Ceia Pines neighborhood, south of East Kennedy Boulevard and west of South Armenia Avenue.

The request is to change the Future Land Use designation for the 1.74-acre subject site from Residential-20 (R-20) to Residential-35 (R-35). The proposed Plan Amendment to Residential-35, which allows consideration of up to 35 dwelling units per acre, would allow for the subject site to develop a potential maximum of 60 residential units. Non-residential uses would be allowed if the subject site met Locational Criteria outlined within the Tampa Comprehensive Plan. The current Future Land Use designation of Residential-20 allows a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of up to 0.5 FAR. If approved, the subject site would be permitted a FAR of up to 0.6 FAR, allowing for the potential of 45,476 square feet of non-residential uses. The proposed change would increase residential density and allow consideration of a higher FAR. The proposed request furthers policies within the Tampa Comprehensive Plan, which seek to ensure an adequate supply of housing for Tampa’s future population consistent with the compact city form strategy.

Recommendation: It is recommended that the Planning Commission find plan amendment TA/CPA 17- 12 CONSISTENT with the Imagine 2040: Tampa Comprehensive Plan and forward this recommendation to Tampa City Council.

Residential-35 (R-35)

Maximum Density Allows up to 20 dwelling units per gross acre(DU/AC)

Allows up to 35 dwelling units per gross acre (DU/AC)

Maximum Residential Development Potential

34 DU 60 DU

Range of Allowable Uses Medium and lower density residential development, including attached townhomes. Limited neighborhood serving commercial uses may be considered, subject to Locational Criteria.

Medium density residential, including townhomes and duplexes. Limited neighborhood serving commercial uses may be considered, subject to Locational Criteria.

Maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR)/Non-Residential Development

0.5 FAR/37,897 feet of non-residential uses.

0.6 FAR/45,476 square feet of non-residential uses.

Practical Impacts The proposed change would increase the development potential for residential units and a higher FAR. The subject site would still be subject to Locational Criteria for limited neighborhood serving commercial uses.

Context of Proposed Change

Existing Land Uses and Typical Development in the Area

The existing land use of the subject site is multi-family (maroon). Surrounding existing land uses include vacant (white), single family (yellow), two family (orange), educational (purple), and light commercial (pink). The existing land uses reflect a vibrant commercial and residential

neighborhood.

Future Land Uses

The subject site currently has a Future Land Use designation of Residential 20 (light brown), which is also present to the north and west. Residential-20 is characterized by medium density residential development which includes townhomes and lower density multifamily dwellings. The subject site is located one block south of West Kennedy Boulevard, a transit emphasis corridor. Urban Mixed Use-60 (purple) is present along West Kennedy Boulevard, and also to the east and directly north of the subject site. Community Mixed Use-35 (pink) is further to the east. Both Urban Mixed

Use-60 and Community Mixed Use-35 allow for horizontal and vertical mixed use. Lastly, Residential-35 (dark brown) is present further to the east along South Moody Avenue.

Staff Analysis

The approximately 1.74-acre subject site is currently designated Residential-20, zoned Planned Development, and located within the Central Tampa Planning District. The Central Tampa Planning District is recognized by the Comprehensive Plan as the primary urban employment, civic and cultural center (LU Policy 1.1.1). The request is to amend the parcel from Residential-20 to Residential-35.

The surrounding area is characterized by medium density residential with a variety of commercial uses located one block to the north along West Kennedy Boulevard and to the east along West Platt Street. The subject site benefits from its location south of West Kennedy Boulevard and west of South Armenia Avenue, which are each designated Transit Emphasis Corridors. The Tampa Comprehensive Plan identifies Transit Emphasis Corridors as areas in the City that are suitable for redevelopment and intensification. Redevelopment in these corridors should be supported by quality transit services and pedestrian amenities to provide safe and attractive streets for transit usage. The primary impact of this change would be to allow higher density residential development and a higher Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for non-residential development. The uses allowed under the Residential-35 designation are similar to those allowed in the Residential-20 category, both plan categories promote multifamily dwellings, condominiums and townhomes. Non-residential development, limited to neighborhood serving commercial uses, is permitted only if the subject site meets Locational Criteria within the Comprehensive Plan.

The proposed land use category, Residential-35 (R-35), would allow for a higher density that is one block south and west of two Transit Emphasis Corridors. The proposed Residential-35 category will provide an appropriate buffer between Urban Mixed Use-60 to the north and the existing Residential-20 to the south (NE Policy 1.1.2). Further, the Tampa Comprehensive Plan promotes increasing the availability of housing at densities that promote walking, transit use and are within proximity to employment (LU Objective 9.4, LU Policies 9.4.1, 9.6.2). The subject site is within 94 yards of a bus stop and has access to three routes, connecting the subject site to Downtown Tampa, Tampa International Airport, Yukon Transfer Center and Tampa General Hospital. The proposed amendment would also maximize the use of existing infrastructure, which is encouraged by the Tampa Comprehensive Plan (INF Policy 1.1.18).

There are several polices which support the request to increase the Future Land Use category from Residential-20 to the proposed Residential-35, furthering the overall intent of the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the request is compatible and complementary to existing uses in the surrounding area. The request furthers the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, specifically, as it relates to the long-term vision of providing for neighborhood stability, varied housing options with access to transit and employment opportunities, to serve Tampa’s growing population (HSG Policy 1.3.1).

Recommendation

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find the proposed land use designation change for Tampa Plan Amendment TA/CPA 17-12 from Residential-20 (R-20) to Residential-35 (R-35) CONSISTENT with the Imagine 2040: Tampa Comprehensive Plan and forward this recommendation to Tampa City Council.

STAFF REPORT ON C COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT

APPLICATION: CPA 17-12 HEARING DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2017

PROPERTY ADDRESS: CURRENT FUTURE LAND USE:

REQUESTED FUTURE LAND USE:

2508 Cleveland Street, 200, 201, 203, 205 & 208 S. Tampania Avenue

R-20 R-35

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SITE

This request consists of six lots totaling 1.74± acres and is located in the Central Tampa Planning District. The subject parcels are located in the general vicinity south of West Kennedy Boulevard, west of South Armenia Avenue, north of West Platt Street, and east of South Audubon Avenue. The property is currently an institutional dormitory and office and is zoned Planned Development (PD), which provides primarily for the existing uses. The subject property is adjacent to detached single family residential uses to the west and north, vacant land and multi-family residential the east, and a grocery store to the southeast across West Swann Avenue.

PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION

The proposed Future Land Use designation of Residential 35 (R-35) allows medium density uses, including: Small-lot single family units (duplexes, condominiums, townhomes); Multifamily dwellings; Limited neighborhood-serving commercial uses consistent with Locational Criteria for

Neighborhood Commercial and Residential Office uses; Compatible public, quasi-public, and special uses (for example churches, schools, recreational

and daycare facilities) are allowed consideration; Building heights that are typically up to 8 stories for medium density and 24 stories for high density

(number of stories varies by location, special district, or overlay district); Maximum Density: 30 du/acre, 35 du/acre with bonus provisions met; Intensity: FAR 0.6; and Intensity: FAR 2.0 in Ybor City Local Historic District Only.C

STAFF RECOMMENDATION City of Tampa Planning staff has no objections to this request and finds it consistent with the existing development pattern of the surrounding area and the following comprehensive plan goals, objectives, and policies: LU Objective 1.2: LU Policy 1.2.3:

Create inspired urban design while respecting Tampa’s human scale, unique history, aesthetics, natural environment, and sense of community identity as the City changes and evolves. Relate new buildings and development to the context of the neighborhood and community. The requested R-35 is in context with the surrounding neighborhood and community.

LU Objective 9.2: LU Policy 9.2.1:

Ensure that there is an adequate amount of land planned for residential purposes to accommodate the projected population. Protect, promote and maintain residential neighborhoods, in order to preserve an adequate amount of residential land for existing and future population growth. The uses allowed in the R-35 land use category are consistent with the existing residential uses which exist along the north end of South Tampania Avenue, and the low intensity commercial uses which exist along South Armenia Avenue.

REVIEW CRITERIA FOR PLAN AMENDMENT REQUESTS

City Council must consider the following criteria as set forth in the City of Tampa Comprehensive Plan when deciding the request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment; both staff’s professional opinion and factual information is provided in bold below:

1. The requested land use category meets the intent of the general character description of the City Form component in which it is being requested and is otherwise consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Per the Comprehensive Plan excerpts provided below, “Tampa’s specific ‘City Form’? (Pages 29 – 30)”, the proposed future land use change meets the intent of the City Form for this area within the Central Tampa Planning District.

As an urban city, Tampa has a defined city form that encompasses many components such as employment centers, urban villages, mixed-use corridors, mixed-use centers, transit stations, and neighborhoods. Elements of City Form: Development Components The physically built environment called the “City Form” has six (6) major components which are described below. The “City Form” includes the following:

Employment Centers Urban Villages Mixed-use Corridors Mixed-use Centers Transit Stations Neighborhoods

o Urban o Traditional o Suburban and Contemporary o The Waterfront

Tampa’s form is and will continue to be shaped by historical development patterns. The City has developed over the span of 150 years, and is influenced by the building patterns that occurred during three significant periods of time.

2. In approving any request for a land use category that provides for an increase in density, intensity or for a broader range of uses, than the existing land use category, City Council shall take into consideration and determine if:

a. a land use category of similar density or intensity is located on at least one (1) side of the subject site, and The subject site is surrounded with R-20 and UMU-60 to the north,

R-20 to the west and south, UMU-60 to the east, and CMU-35 southeast across South Himes Avenue.

b. the subject site is within 1320’ (1/4 mile) of a designated transit stop or designated

transit emphasis corridor, and There is a transit emphasis corridor within 1320’ of the site: S. Armenia Avenue running north-south through this area.

c. the subject parcel is located adjacent to a parcel which has a land use classification of

R-6 or R-10, the subject site is located within 660’ (1/8 mile) of a designated transit stop or designated transit emphasis corridor N/A.

3. In the event that City Council determines that the above criteria are not met, then City Council may deny the amendment or make a determination that the existing land use classification is no longer in the best interests of the public, it may approve the amendment or direct the local planning agency to propose an alternative amendment to the existing land use classification. Based on the historical development pattern of the area, the age of the structures, and the location of the subject parcel in relation to a core neighborhood of the City, staff believes the requested R-35 land use category would create an appropriate transition from the existing R-20 to the west to the UMU-60 which exists to the east and is in the best interest of this neighborhood and the City as a whole.

4. If a land use is changed based on this criteria, the property owner shall process through a site plan district and, if provided for in the City’s land development regulations, shall meet the “Development Performance Incentive Criteria,” unless the development is within an approved Community Planning Area/Adopted Form Based Code Area, in which case a site plan zoning may not be required, as provided for in the specific plan in the land development regulations. Acknowledged.

Transportation Analysis – Existing The sites are located South of Kennedy Blvd. and west of South Armenia Avenue and are accessible via Tampania Ave. Tampania Ave. has sidewalks but no bicycle facilities. HART provides bus service in this area. Transportation Analysis – Future Proposed There are no capacity improvements in this area in the current 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan or the current 5-year Transportation Improvement Program. The HART Transit Development Plan identifies the need for expansion of transit service in this area. Special Area Analysis This area is identified in the MPO’s Demographic Analysis for Environmental Justice Purposes as an area having a high density of minority populations. Residents in these areas tend to be more reliant on cycling, walking, and transit (when available) for their travel purposes – whether to work, school, shopping, and appointments.

Basis of Review

Adopting and Amending Plan The Tampa City Council shall have the power to adopt and amend the Tampa Comprehensive Plan in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 97-351, Laws of Florida, as amended; Chapter 163, Florida Statutes; and the provisions of this section. The Local Planning Agency may submit to the Tampa City Council proposals for amending the Tampa Comprehensive Plan. Citizens owning or having a substantial interest in property may submit to the Local Planning Agency proposals for amending the Tampa Comprehensive Plan. The Tampa City Council shall review any such proposal for the purpose of assessing its appropriateness in light of the Goal, Objectives, and Policies of the Tampa Comprehensive Plan, and after receiving recommendations from The Planning Commission and Tampa City Administration, shall provide final interpretation of the Tampa Comprehensive Plan and take action.

All citizens, whether they are directly or indirectly affected shall be given an opportunity to contribute to the planning and policy-making process through public meetings and hearings. However, all questions of standing shall be reviewed pursuant to relevant law. Amendment to the Adopted Tampa Comprehensive Plan Amendment of any aspect of the comprehensive plan represents a major policy decision by the Tampa City Council. An amendment of the Future Land Use Map, in particular, is a declaration that growth and development pattern initially sought by the City in a particular location, through thoughtful adoption of the comprehensive plan, is no longer appropriate. A significant change in

circumstances affecting the suitability of property in a particular area for the kind of development intended by the Tampa Comprehensive Plan, which was not contemplated at the time the comprehensive plan was adopted, may justify a reconsideration of the land use category into which that area has been placed on the map. Future Land Use Map changes not functionally related to the overall purposes expressed in the Map and policies contained herein could seriously undermine the integrity of the Map and other provisions of the comprehensive plan itself. Amendments therefore should not occur with the same frequency as parcel rezoning

amendments; and their effect upon the entire Comprehensive Plan, including the practical consequences of the policy shift signified by the amendment shall be considered. It is a stated public purpose that growth and change in neighborhoods must be managed so that the quality of life in this part of the city form is maintained or enhanced. The plan amendment process is one tool that will be used to achieve this. Assessing a Proposed Amendment In assessing the merits of a Plan amendment, the Local Planning Agency and the Tampa City Council shall consider the policy implications the amendment would have on the Future Land Use

Map in the general area of the affected property and the development pattern and growth policies currently being pursued there. In order that the Tampa City Council may be able to fully assess the consequences of approving the proposed change, the Local Planning Agency’s report to the City Council shall include:

An assessment of the consistency of the proposed change with other portions and features

of the Plan, and

Recommendations for whatever further amendment would be advisable in conjunction with

the proper amendment, and

An analysis of infrastructure requirements for service necessitated and the benefits

generated by the proposed amendment, and/or

A finding, if applicable, based on information currently available, that an error or mistake had

been made in the original land use designation shown on the Future Land Use Map.

If a development proposal is not supported by the Goals, Objectives, and Policies within the

Plan, serious consideration should be given to making modifications to the proposal, or the

following criteria should be used to determine if a Comprehensive Plan Amendment would be

justified.

the character of the adjacent neighborhood;

the zoning and uses of nearby properties;

the suitability of the property for the uses allowed under the current zoning designation;

the type and extent of positive or detrimental impact that may affect adjacent properties, or

the community at large, if the request is approved; the impact of the proposal on public utilities

and facilities;

the length of time that the subject and adjacent properties have been utilized for their current

uses;

the benefits of the proposal to the public health, safety, and welfare compared to the effect

on the applicant if the request is not approved;

comparison between the existing Future Land Use Plan Map and the proposed change

regarding the relative conformance to the goal and policies; and

consideration of professional staff recommendations.

In the case of more comprehensive proposals (such as a capital improvements program, or a subarea plan/study), a more extensive evaluation may be required to identify potential revisions to the proposal or to the Plan. The report should include an evaluation which includes the following:

description of the proposal; identification of Sections of the Comprehensive Plan that would be affected by the proposal;

evaluation of the effects of the proposal on the Comprehensive Plan, by Section. If the proposal supports the Plan, the evaluation should also indicate; but if it conflicts with the Plan, the nature and extent of the conflict should be identified; and

identification of adjustments to the Plan or the proposals that would reduce any noted conflicts or negative impacts. If adjustments to the Plan are proposed, they should be undertaken and adopted per the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process before f inal action is taken on the comprehensive proposal.

Review Criteria for Plan Amendment Requests In considering a plan amendment, City Council shall review the following criteria:

The requested land use category meets the intent of the general character description of the City Form component in which it is being requested and is otherwise consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

In approving any request for a land use category that provides for an increase in density, intensity or for a broader range of uses, than the existing land use category, City Council shall take into consideration and determine if::

a land use category of similar density or intensity is located on at least one (1) side of the subject site, and

the subject site is within 1320’ (1/4 mile) of a designated transit stop or designated transit emphasis corridor, and

the subject parcel is located adjacent to a parcel which has a land use classification of R-6 or R-10, the subject site is located within 660’ (1/8 mile) of a designated transit stop or designated transit emphasis corridor.

In the event that City Council determines that the above criteria are not met, then City Council may have cause to deny the amendment. If City Council makes a determination that the existing land use classification is no longer in the best interests of the public, it may approve the amendment or direct the local planning agency to propose an alternative amendment to the existing land use classification.

If a land use is changed based on this criteria, the property owner shall process through a site plan district and, if provided for in the City’s land development regulations, shall meet the “Development Performance Incentive Criteria,” unless the development is within an approved Community Planning Area/Adopted Form Based Code Area, in which case a site plan zoning may not be required, as provided for in the specific plan in the land development regulations.
