EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Meeting Date: June 13, 2011 – Public Hearing

Agenda Item: Tampa: TA/CPA 11‐01

Presenter: J. Collins, AICP Ext: 335

Action Necessary: Yes

SUMMARY

The Planning Commission will be reviewing and making a recommendation to

Tampa City Council on a privately initiated map amendment request to change

a parcel’s Future Land Use designation from Residential‐6 (6 du/ga) to

Residential‐20 (20 du/ga).

The Planning Commission is required to make recommendations to the Tampa

City Council on all proposed changes to the City of Tampa Comprehensive Plan

pursuant to Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes and Chapter 97‐351 Laws of

Florida, as amended.

BACKGROUND

This privately initiated map amendment is located at 3723 West Palmira

Avenue on the northeast corner of North Dale Mabry Highway and West

Palmira Avenue in the South Tampa Planning District. The applicant has

requested the change as the current Residential‐6 designation does not permit

the type of intensity or density the applicant desires for the site.

The Residential‐6 category allows consideration of low density single family

detached residential development and does not permit any type of commercial

consideration. The Residential‐20 category allows consideration of single

family, two‐family and multi‐family residential development, as well as limited

neighborhood commercial and office uses for properties which meet the

locational criteria as outlined in the Tampa Comprehensive Plan. The request does

not meet the intent or furthers the goals, objectives and policies of the Tampa

Comprehensive Plan, regarding protection of residential neighborhoods further

details of the consistency finding are outlined in the staff report.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Planning Commission APPROVE the attached

resolution finding the proposed map amendment, TA/CPA 11‐01,

INCONSISTENT with the Tampa Comprehensive Plan Building Our Legacy A

Livable City and forward this recommendation to the Tampa City Council.

WHEREAS, the Hillsborough County City‐County Planning

Commission staff has reviewed the proposal, has considered existing

and expected future development patterns and community facilities

in the respective area, as well as the following adopted goals,

objectives and policies of the Tampa Comprehensive Plan Building Our

Legacy A Livable City as stated in the staff report:

Policy 1.2.2: The City shall preserve, protect, and enhance

single family neighborhoods by providing sensitive transitions

between these neighborhoods and adjoining areas, and requiring new

development, both private and public, to respect and respond to

those existing physical characteristics— buildings, streetscapes, open

spaces, and city form—that contribute to the overall character and

livability of the neighborhood.

Policy 13.3.9: Transitions in Scale. The City shall require that

the scale and massing of new development in higher‐densities centers

and corridors provide appropriate transitions in building height and

bulk that are sensitive to the physical and visual character of

adjoining neighborhoods that have lower development intensities

and building heights.

Goal 14: A city of compact, higher‐density development

within business districts, mixed use corridor villages and transit

stations to conserve land resources, protect single family detached

neighborhoods, natural habitat, support transit, reduce vehicle trips,

improve air quality, conserve energy and water, and diversify

Tampa’s housing stock.

Policy 14.1.1: The City shall encourage compact, higher‐density

development that is compatible with its surrounding character.

Policy 14.1.4: Use limited land resources more efficiently and

pursue a development pattern that is more economically sound, by

encouraging infill development on vacant and underutilized sites.

RESOLUTION PAGE 3 Tampa: CPA 11‐01 Map amendment located at the northeast corner of North Dale Mabry Highway and

West Palmira Avenue June 13, 2011

Objective 16.1: The transformation of major corridors to include

a broader mix of uses, both horizontal and vertical, that provides

opportunities for medium and higher density housing, while also

addressing local and citywide demand for retail and services.

Policy 16.1.1: Redeveloping Automobile‐oriented Corridors –

The City shall promote redevelopment of existing automobile‐

oriented corridors and the upgrading of existing commercial

development to create vibrant, mixed‐use boulevards that balance

efficient movement of motor vehicles with the creation of attractive

pedestrian‐friendly districts that serve the adopting neighborhoods as

well as passing motorists.

Policy 16.1.13: Mixed Use Corridors Defined – Generally the

boundaries of a Mixed Use Corridor Village are defined by the

existing, adopted future land use boundaries of the mixed use plan

categories on the future land use map. That includes: Suburban

Mixed Use‐3, Suburban Mixed Use‐6, Community Mixed Use‐35,

Community Commercial‐35, Urban Mixed Use‐60 and Regional

Mixed Use‐100. Changes to these boundaries may be considered

during the neighborhood planning process (through form based

codes) to develop a secondary plan for each particular village.

Neighborhood planning processes to develop these secondary plans

must include citizen participation from the residential neighborhoods

adjoining the mixed use corridor village.

Objective 18.3: Ensure that there is an adequate amount of land

planned for residential purposes to accommodate the projected

population. The following policies will implement this objective.

Policy 18.3.1: Protect, promote and maintain residential

neighborhoods, in order to preserve an adequate amount of

residential land for existing and future population growth.

Tampa Comprehensive Plan Context

Tampa’s Comprehensive Plan Building Our Legacy: A Livable City was adopted in

February, 2009. The Plan articulates a vision for how Tampa will accommodate the

growth of the city to include 92,000 additional residents and 132,000 new jobs over the

next 20 years, while promoting the values of its citizens:

LIVABILITY (Tampa is a place where diverse people find it easy, safe and enjoyable to

live.)

PROSPERITY (A Tampa that is focused on the quality of life for all its people must be a

Tampa that is economically healthy, with a broad mix of good jobs.)

RESPECT (The living systems which support us are taken care of and passed on to future generations in better shape.)

RESILIENCE (The systems that support our day to day living can deal with uncertainty

and cope with the shifts and shocks we face in the future.)

The Plan’s vision articulates the growth management strategy by first organizing the

city in Planning Districts and encouraging most new growth to locate in places

designated as Business Centers, Urban Villages or Mixed Use Corridor Villages. Each

Business Center and Urban Village has a secondary plan that indicates the amount of

growth the City is planning in the next 20 years. The Plan also includes policies that

describe how the City intends to serve this growth with mobility options and other

infrastructure.

The “Big Picture” Tampa Vision Map – Area Description and Characteristics

Strategy 1: Organizing Planning Districts – Getting Transit Ready

Goal 1: Tampa: A Livable city of diverse communities and neighborhoods

interconnected through walking, bicycling, and transit, where public

spaces are beautiful, and well‐designed, the economy thrives and our

heritage is celebrated.

Objective 1.1: Designate 5 planning districts: University, Central Tampa, Westshore,

New Tampa and South Tampa as an opportunity to build a livable and

sustainable city.

LIVABILITY, PROSPERITY, RESPECT, RESILIENCE.

TA/CPA 11‐01 4

Policy 1.1.2: Foster a vibrant urban lifestyle through mixed use development with

entertainment and cultural facilities.

Policy 1.1.12: The City shall consider the development of strategically located mixed use

neighborhood centers that accommodate local serving commercial,

employment, and entertainment uses; provide diverse housing

opportunities; and are efficiently served by transit in the New Tampa and

South Tampa Districts.

South Tampa Planning District Map

The proposed plan amendment area is located in the South Tampa Planning District.

Defined by water this District consists of Tampa’s Interbay Peninsula, generally

described as being those areas south of Kennedy Boulevard between Old Tampa Bay

and Hillsborough Bay. The amendment site is a few miles north of MacDill Air Force

Base, a major employment generator and lies between the Kennedy and Gandy

Boulevard commercial corridors. The surrounding area is home to residential enclaves,

TA/CPA 11‐01

LIVABILITY, PROSPERITY, RESPECT, RESILIENCE.

TA/CPA 11‐01 5

major transportation corridors, medium density office and commercial development,

and lies just south of the Westshore Business District.

Opportunities

The South Tampa District offers many opportunities to becoming a more livable and

sustainable part of the City, including:

Maintaining Neighborhood Stability. Changing demographics, rising energy costs and

environmental concerns will increase the importance of having safe, affordable and

convenient mobility and housing options. Aging residents and changes in the number

of children per household will change the kinds of public and private goods and

services required to meet residents’ needs. A more sustainable mix of uses that provide

goods and services within walking distance of residents is another way to enhance

neighborhood livability and stability.

Fostering Compatible Infill to Improve Mobility and Sustainability. An essential part

of achieving more sustainable and livable neighborhoods will be providing more

convenient access to goods and services. Residents are likely to resist perceived

commercial encroachment into the edges of neighborhoods unless they are confident

that the scale, design and use of facilities will not erode the quality of life in the

neighborhood.

Strategy 2: Strengthening our Diverse Neighborhoods

Objective 1.2: A City of diverse, distinct, and well‐structured neighborhoods that meet

the community’s needs for complete, sustainable, and high quality living

environments from the historic downtown core to well integrated new

growth areas.

Policy 1.2.1: Recognizing Tampa’s neighborhoods are the basic living environments

that make‐up the City’s urban fabric, the City shall through its planning

preserve and enhance all neighborhoods’ distinctiveness, identity, and

livability.

Policy 1.2.2: The City shall preserve, protect, and enhance single family neighborhoods

by providing sensitive transitions between these neighborhoods and

adjoining areas, and requiring new development, both private and public,

to respect and respond to those existing physical characteristics—

buildings, streetscapes, open spaces, and city form—that contribute to the

overall character and livability of the neighborhood.

LIVABILITY, PROSPERITY, RESPECT, RESILIENCE.

TA/CPA 11‐01 6

Development patterns in the general area surrounding the subject site include:

commercial and institutional uses to the north along Dale Mabry Highway represented

by the Community Mixed Use–35 and Public/Semi‐Public Land Use Categories.

Residential development, consisting of mostly single family detached houses and

residential support uses found within the Residential–6, Residential–10 and

Residential–20 Land Use Categories, south (approximately 4 blocks) approaching the

neighborhood node at Bay to Bay Avenue.

Dale Mabry Highway, since its inception, has experienced tremendous growth and

commercial development. Originally constructed in 1943 to connect MacDill Air Force

Base with Drew Field (now Tampa International Airport), Dale Mabry Highway was

named after Dale Mabry, a Florida native and World War I aviator. Dale Mabry runs

along what was originally called Vera Avenue according to land plots from the

Hillsborough County Property Appraiser. The residential area adjacent to Dale Mabry

was first platted between 1915‐1925. The highway has seen many changes throughout

LIVABILITY, PROSPERITY, RESPECT, RESILIENCE.

TA/CPA 11‐01 7

the years, including an extension to US 41 in Pasco County, and major widening

projects throughout the City of Tampa and unincorporated Hillsborough County.

This section of Dale Mabry Highway has remained relatively unchanged over the past

30 years, as the Residential–6 land use only allows the consideration of single family

housing and some limited residential support uses, such as churches. While commercal

and institutional properties have seen a considerable amount of redevelopment and

intensification along this commercial corridor, the surrounding neighborhoods have

remained relatively stable with the exception of several residential infill

redevelopments allowed under the existing land use and zoning districts.

LIVABILITY, PROSPERITY, RESPECT, RESILIENCE.

TA/CPA 11‐01 8

The Small Picture: Neighborhoods

Neighborhoods

Neighborhoods are the places we call home, the places where we live. Residents of the

City of Tampa depend on their neighborhoods more than on any other part of the city

for the quality of their lives. Throughout the city, residents are very protective of the

quality of life in their neighborhoods, which accounts both for the pride that is

everywhere evident and for the occasional tensions when change occurs.

The amendment site is located at the convergence of three neighborhoods Palma Ceia,

Palma Ceia West and Virginia Park (all platted during the early part of the 20th century).

These neighborhoods are predominately residential with commercial and office uses

found along certain major roadways such as Mixed Use Corridor Villages or arterials

which lie along the edges of these neighborhoods. The neighborhoods in the area were

developed in an east/west fashion as development spread from Bayshore Boulevard.

Vern Avenue which later was renamed Dale Mabry Highway was primarily a

residential street with neighborhood nodes at particular intersections much like todays

MacDill Avenue prior to WWII. The amendment is adjacent to Plant High School. The

school, first constructed in 1926, has expanded greatly over the years, presently

enrolling more than 2,200 students on 27 acres. The school has nearly 1,000 feet of

frontage on Dale Mabry Highway directly north of the subject site.

While the character of Dale Mabry has undergone significant redevelopment changes in

intensity and use, this small portion has remained relatively unchanged with the

surrounding residential character being stable. The evolution of Dale Mabry has

provided many opportunities for economic development and the creation of jobs;

however, the challenge now is how those commercial uses on this corridor properly

transition into the residential neighborhood without disrupting there stability must be

properly addressed.

Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan

Elements of City Form: Development Components

Growth Management Solution

The physically built environment called the ‘City Form’ has nine (9) major components

including the following:

Business Centers

Urban Villages

Mixed‐use Corridor Villages

Transit Stations

Urban Neighborhoods

Traditional Neighborhoods

Suburban and Contemporary Neighborhoods

The Waterfront

Rural Areas/neighborhoods

Neighborhoods make up the majority of these nine components. There are five types of

residential neighborhoods that can be found in the City of Tampa. Palma Ceia, where

LIVABILITY, PROSPERITY, RESPECT, RESILIENCE.

TA/CPA 11‐01 11

this plan amendment request is located, is a Traditional Neighborhood within a

suburban land use pattern bordered to the west by a Mixed Use Corridor Village.

In keeping with the vision for a more Livable City, future growth will be steered to

areas and locations that are well served by transit or the existing road network and

which have a number of properties with redevelopment potential. Generally growth

areas are locations where good transit access can be provided along bus and future rail

transit routes, and at future transit stations. The growth areas envisioned in this plan

are:

Business Centers

Mixed Use Corridor Villages

Transit Stations

Urban Villages

The role of these areas should ensure that spaces for economic activities are not

displaced by residential development and that residential neighborhoods are not

destabilized by inappropriate commercial encroachment.

A Mixed Use Corridor Village is an area identified as having the opportunity to support

the gradual transformation of its road corridor where intensification is possible and

encouraged to create new housing and employment opportunities while improving the

pedestrian environment, the look of the street, shopping opportunities and transit

service for residents, employees of the area and those who may visit the area.

Each corridor is different in terms of lot sizes and configurations, street widths, existing

uses, neighborhood uses, neighboring uses, transit services and streetscape potential.

There is no uniform program for transforming the corridor villages. Further, segments

within the corridor can vary greatly as scales of transition will change as corridors

intersect other corridors, travel through urban villages or business centers and interact

with land uses along the corridor that are not prescribed as mixed use in nature

(Residential, Industrial, Public/Semi‐Public, Recreation/Open Space). A framework of

change will be tailored to the individual corridors through studies and or “community

planning through form‐based code” processes that involve local residents, businesses

and other stakeholders.

Generally, the boundaries of a Mixed Use Corridor Village are those properties abutting

the roadway that are defined by an existing, adopted future land use that calls for

LIVABILITY, PROSPERITY, RESPECT, RESILIENCE.

TA/CPA 11‐01 12

mixed use development and a more intense commercial development then is permitted

under Residential Land Use Categories that meet locational criteria.

Policy 16.1.13: Mixed Use Corridors Defined – Generally the boundaries of a Mixed Use

Corridor Village are defined by the existing, adopted future land use

boundaries of the mixed use plan categories on the future land use map.

That includes: Suburban Mixed Use‐3, Suburban Mixed Use‐6,

Community Mixed Use‐35, Community Commercial‐35, Urban Mixed

Use‐60 and Regional Mixed Use‐100. Changes to these boundaries may be

considered during the neighborhood planning process (through form based

codes) to develop a secondary plan for each particular village.

Neighborhood planning processes to develop these secondary plans must

include citizen participation from the residential neighborhoods adjoining

the mixed use corridor village.

Properties with a Residential Land Use Classification are found along three of Tampa’s

Mixed Use Corridor Villages: Dale Mabry Highway, Armenia and Howard Avenues.

Extensive stretches of Residential Land Use Classifications can also be found along

MacDill and Manhattan Avenues as well as Westshore Boulevard functionally classified

as arterials (not Mixed Use Corridor Villages) within the South Tampa Planning

District. Many of the Residential Land Use Categories found along these arterials meet

locational criteria for non‐residential consideration. If this property is granted a land

use change it will meet such criteria were currently the subject property and all such

properties within the City are prohibited from commercial or office consideration.

Residential uses regardless of the Land Use Category can be found along numerous

Mixed Use Corridor Villages and other thoroughfares.

Goal 16: Mixed Use Corridor Villages ‐ Major corridors transformed into vibrant

pedestrian‐friendly environments that serve as gathering places for

adjacent neighborhoods.

Objective 16.1: The transformation of major corridors to include a broader mix of uses,

both horizontal and vertical, that provides opportunities for medium and

higher density housing, while also addressing local and citywide demand

for retail and services.

LIVABILITY, PROSPERITY, RESPECT, RESILIENCE.

TA/CPA 11‐01 13

Policy 16.1.1: Redeveloping Automobile‐oriented Corridors – The City shall promote

redevelopment of existing automobile‐oriented corridors and the

upgrading of existing commercial development to create vibrant, mixed‐

use boulevards that balance efficient movement of motor vehicles with the

creation of attractive pedestrian‐friendly districts that serve the adopting

neighborhoods as well as passing motorists.

This plan amendment request is located in a Traditional Neighborhood along a

Mixed‐Use Corridor Village, a development pattern and prevailing urban form that

exists throughout much of city developed and redeveloped decades ago. This three (3)

block stretch of Dale Mabry Highway is the only segment of a Mixed Use Corridor

Village within the City of Tampa that contains the Residential‐6 land use category

directly along its frontage. The intended use of this category does not permit

commercial or office consideration and is completely out of character with those

existing uses along Dale Mabry. The interior sections of these neighborhoods contain

the Residential ‐ 6 Land Use Category for several blocks in all directions. To the north,

east and west of this site, the Residential‐6 category directly abuts Community Mixed

Use – 35, a category which creates an immediate escalation of considerable intensity and

density.

The Residential‐20 Land Use Classification found south of the neighborhood node at

Bay to Bay and Dale Mabry, transitioning to Residential‐10 within the internal sections

of the residential neighborhood. There are several examples of low intensity office uses

along that segment. The Residential‐20 category offers a more sensitive transition than

those properties to the north along the corridor.

While the Residential‐20 offers a viable alternative to the Residential‐6 category, this

particular request, which amounts to a spot zoning, does not meet the intent and

purpose of the Mixed Use Corridor Village concept as defined in the Comprehensive

Plan, as it does not truly address the larger issue at hand, the transformation of the

corridor. At the very least, this segment of Dale Mabry should be studied to determine

if all twelve parcels currently designated Residential–6 should be changed to better

accommodate a transition. Several of these parcels are currently vacant and could be

considered casualties of the economic downturn. The study could provide a

LIVABILITY, PROSPERITY, RESPECT, RESILIENCE.

TA/CPA 11‐01 14

recommendation that offers a highest and best use proposal for these parcels but still

creates a logical transition of intensity into these traditional neighborhoods, preserving

their residential character, and would involve all stakeholders.

The potential change of all of the Residential‐6 parcels along this portion of Dale Mabry

should be, supported by a recommended study, would be more comprehensive,

efficient and less time consuming versus the scenario of the remaining parcels coming

in piecemeal if this amendment were to be singularly approved.

In reviewing the proposed plan amendment for consistency with the Tampa

Comprehensive Plan Building Our Legacy: A Livable City, staff has determined that the

following plan goals, objectives, and policies are relevant. Policy 1.2.2: The City shall preserve, protect, and enhance single family neighborhoods

by providing sensitive transitions between these neighborhoods and

adjoining areas, and requiring new development, both private and public,

to respect and respond to those existing physical characteristics—

buildings, streetscapes, open spaces, and city form—that contribute to the

overall character and livability of the neighborhood. Policy 13.3.9: Transitions in Scale. The City shall require that the scale and massing of

new development in higher‐densities centers and corridors provide

appropriate transitions in building height and bulk that are sensitive to

the physical and visual character of adjoining neighborhoods that have

lower development intensities and building heights.

Goal 14: A city of compact, higher‐density development within business districts,

mixed use corridor villages and transit stations to conserve land resources,

protect single family detached neighborhoods, natural habitat, support

transit, reduce vehicle trips, improve air quality, conserve energy and

water, and diversify Tampa’s housing stock.

Policy 14.1.1: The City shall encourage compact, higher‐density development that is

compatible with its surrounding character.

Objective 18.3: Ensure that there is an adequate amount of land planned for residential

purposes to accommodate the projected population. The following policies

will implement this objective.

Policy 18.3.1: Protect, promote and maintain residential neighborhoods, in order to

preserve an adequate amount of residential land for existing and future

population growth.

The aforementioned Goals, Objectives and Policies promote neighborhood protection

and appropriate infill and redevelopment to further the livable city. Dale Mabry

Highway has experienced a tremendous amount of change since the amendment site

and the surrounding neighborhood were first platted prior to WWII. The urban form

along this Corridor and throughout the City is important, so much so, that the

Comprehensive Plan calls for specific corridor plans to consider “form based codes” to

develop the corridor in a way that promotes its redevelopment while encouraging the

basic tenants of the livable city. The situation here is unique and justifies further study

of this segment of the corridor and its relationship to the neighborhoods that flank it, so

as to provide a more complete picture of the Comprehensive Plan’s dual personality of

Neighborhood Protection and Corridor infill and redevelopment.

Review Criteria for Plan Amendment Requests

In considering a plan amendment, City Council shall review the following criteria:

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.

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 determine whether:

a. a land use category of similar density or intensity is located on at least one side

of the subject site, and

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

designated transit corridor, and

c. if 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 station or designated transit corridor.

LIVABILITY, PROSPERITY, RESPECT, RESILIENCE.

TA/CPA 11‐01 16

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. In this event, then City

Council 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.

The requested land use category meets the intent of the general character description of

the City Form component in which it is being requested. The proposed land use is of a

similar density or intensity when compared to the current adopted land uses within the

contiguous area. All zoning classifications allowing non‐residential uses under the

Residential–20 land use classification must be rezoned using a site plan controlled

zoning district.

LIVABILITY, PROSPERITY, RESPECT, RESILIENCE.

TA/CPA 11‐01 17

Conclusions

The requested land use designation does not meet the intent of nor furthers the

following Comprehensive Plan, components:

The amendment does not further Strategy 1: Organizing Planning Districts –

Getting Transit Ready

The amendment does not further Strategy 2: Strengthening Diverse

Neighborhoods

The amendment does not further the Growth Management Solution

The amendment does meet the provisions laid out in the section titled “Review

Criteria for Plan Amendments” within Chapter 9

Recommendation

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the attached resolution,

finding the proposed land use designation change for Plan Amendment PA11‐01,

INCONSISTENT with the Tampa Comprehensive Plan Building Our Legacy: A Livable City

and forward this recommendation to Tampa City Council.

City of Tampa Staff Report

CPA 11‐01 Future Land Use Map change Small Scale Map Amendment 3723 West Palmira Avenue

From R‐6 to R‐20 City Staff Recommendaton The City Staff does not support the proposed plan amendment. Staff maintains that the current R‐6 designation is the appropriate designation for the site. The petitioner is requesting a change in use for consideration of professional office on the site. The subject site is located along South Dale Mabry Highway at the edge of a residential neighborhood that has historically developed as single family residential and maintained as residential for well over 75 years. The proposed amendment introduces into this established development pattern, an office use and increased intensity, which could, over time, unduly impact the stability of the surrounding residential areas. Please refer to the response from Land Development Coordination. The proposed change in use will have a small impact on stormwater systems as outlined below and should be considered when evaluating the best use for the parcel. The MPO should be consulted on the impact on the transportation network for the change in use. The portion of Dale Mabry in which the site is located is a designated Primary Transit Corridor, currently operating as a failed roadway (per Transportation Division comments). Under the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, development is not required to complete a transportation study and mitigate impacts (development will, however, be required to address site access and pay an impact fee). If the transportation analysis reveals a significant trip impact that is not consistent with the Long-Range Transportation Plan, then this would be cause for concern. City Staff Comments

1. Land Development Coordination – See Attached Memo.

306 East Jackson Street. 8E Tampa, Florida 33602 -- 813-274-8694 FAX: 274-7327

2. Stormwater Department ‐ The stormwater runoff from the subject property is serviced

by either the City of Tampa drainage ditch along the northern property boundary, or by the existing drainage system owned and maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation located within the right of way of Dale Mabry Highway. The proposed change in land use will potentially increase the amount of stormwater runoff which these facilities will need to accommodate. Because the City of Tampa Stormwater Technical Standards does not effectively address the increase in runoff resulting from the commercial development of small parcels, the Division would prefer the subject property remain as residential use. In addition, this property is presently on the Red‐Line List because there is no recorded easement for aforementioned drainage ditch. This easement has recently been secured from Plant High School and the subject property will be removed from the list.

3. Wastewater Department ‐ The current land use for this property, the estimated

wastewater generated from the parcels will be 0.0003 MGD. Based on the potential build‐out allowed under the proposed land use category, the estimated wastewater generated will be 0.0012 MGD, which results in a net increase in flow 0.0009 MGD. The wastewater generated will discharge into the Interbay District. The current available capacity for this District is 28.8 MGD. The proposed amendment will not impact the level of service established in the Wastewater Element of the City’s Comprehensive plan. There is adequate capacity in the existing 36‐inch gravity sewer located along Palmira Avenue for the potential build‐out of the property.

4. Water Department – The Water Department (TWD) has reviewed the November Plan

Amendment. The water demands will increase with the planned amendment and this location is within the Downtown and South Tampa Contribution in Aid of Construction (CIAC) area. CIAC fees will be applicable in addition to any standard fees associated with water service. There is an 8‐inch water main along Palmira Avenue. It is likely that the existing 8‐inch main is sufficient as long as water service is provided from Palmira Avenue. City of Tampa will continue to obtain potable water supply from Tampa Bay Water in the event of self water supply shortfall.

5. Transportation Division ‐ The proposed plan amendment is located on a failed segment

of Dale Mabry Hwy and will be subject to Transportation Impact Analysis and Mitigation Plan Procedures.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Randy Goers, Urban Planning Coordinator CC: Gloria Moreda, Land Development Manager

Cathy Coyle, Zoning Administrator Julia Mandell Cole, Senior Assistant City Attorney

FROM: Abbye Feeley, Planning & Development Coordinator DATE: April 21, 2011 SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment Review (Small Scale) I. Overview

TA/CPA11-01 (Virginia Park)

Existing Land Use: Residential 6 (R-6)

Requested Land Use: Residential 20(R-20) The subject property consists of one parcel totaling .23 acres located at the northeast corner of S. Dale Mabry Highway and W. Palmira Avenue. The property is currently zoned RS-100, which is one of the City’s largest residential zoning districts, requiring a minimum lot width of 100’ x 100’ (for a total of 10,000 SF lot area). The subject property is adjacent to Plant High School to the north and single family residential to the east, west, and south. The character of the surrounding neighborhood is primarily single-family residential. Please see Attachment “A” for additional information concerning the Residential 6 Land Use Category. II. Existing Future Land Use Designation The current Future Land Use designation of Residential 6 (R-6) allows solely for single family residential zoning districts including RS-75 (minimum lot dimensions of 75’ (width) x 100’ (depth)), RS-100 (minimum lot dimensions of 100’ (width) x 100’ (depth)) and RS-150 (minimum lot dimensions of 150’ (width) x 100’ (depth)). Other permissible uses under these zoning districts include Congregate Living Facility (6 beds or less), Daycare/Nursery (maximum 5 children), Temporary Film Production and Public use Facility. Special Uses which could be applied for under the R-6 and are approvable subject to the satisfaction of the special use criteria as identified in the zoning code include:

Cemetery Congregate Living Facility: Small Group Care Facility

2

Extended Family Residence Home Occupation Private Pleasure Craft used as a residence Place of Religious Assembly Recreation Facility, Private School Public Service Facility Utility Transmission Site

III. Proposed Future Land Use Designation The proposed future land use category of Residential 20 (R-20) would allow for a variety of zoning districts, including single and multi-family residential (RS-60, RS-50, RM-12, RM-16, and RM-18), residential office (RO and RO-1) and commercial neighborhood (CN). The most intensive uses allowed under the most intensive zoning district of Commercial Neighborhood (CN), would include the following:

Bed and Breakfast Cemetery Clinic Club Daycare (max 5 children) Place of Religious Assembly Public Cultural Faciltiy (i.e. library, museum) Bank Catering Shop Interim Parking Office, Business/Professional Personal Services Pharmacy Public Service Facility Public Use Facility Recreation Facility, Private Restaurant Retail Sales, Convenience Goods

It is important to review the current request in relation to those uses currently permitted and the intensification of the property that could occur if the future land use designation is changed to the R-20. IV. Evaluation of Historic Development Pattern Based on an evaluation of the future land use designations in the area and the existing development pattern, there is a clear delineation along the segment of S. Dale Mabry Boulevard from San Jose Street south to Bay to Bay Boulevard of residential development. Based on the year improved, the properties along this segment of S. Dale Mabry were developed in between the 1920’s and 1950’s as single family residential homes including Palma Ceia United Methodist which was constructed in 1951 and Smith & Associates located at S. Dale Mabry and Bay to Bay whose original structure was constructed in 1925. The development within this area of the City preceded the City’s first modern zoning regulations which were first adopted in January 1956.

3

The subject site is one property in a segment of this corridor and surrounding neighborhood that has historically been developed as single family residential and maintained as residential for well over 75 years. The allowance of this modification will allow for the introduction of non-residential uses and the potential intensification of such uses that is patently inconsistent with the existing development pattern of the surrounding area. If considered appropriate by City Council (under Criteria for Review below) perhaps the modification should be examined for all properties fronting S. Dale Mabry Highway from San Jose Street to Bay to Bay Boulevard, which appears to be approximately 12 zoning lots. This historical residential area and its unique character should be protected, consistent with the following objectives and policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Neighborhood Stability (Chapter 2, Page 30) Objective 1.2: A City of diverse, distinct, and well-structured neighborhoods that meet the community’s needs for complete, sustainable, and high quality living environments from the historic downtown core to well integrated new growth areas.

Policy 1.2.1: Recognizing Tampa’s neighborhoods are the basic living environments that make-up the City’s urban fabric, the City shall through its planning preserve and enhance all neighborhoods’ distinctiveness, identity, and livability.

Policy 1.2.2: The City shall preserve, protect, and enhance single family neighborhoods by providing sensitive transitions between these neighborhoods and adjoining areas, and requiring new development, both private and public, to respect and respond to those existing physical characteristics—buildings, streetscapes, open spaces, and city form—that contribute to the overall character and livability of the neighborhood. V. 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-italics 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, “What is Tampa’s specific ‘City Form’? (Chapter 3, Pages 49 – 50)”, the proposed future land use change does not meet the intent of the City Form for this segment of S. Dale Mabry Highway.

What is Tampa’s specific ‘City Form’? (Chapter 3, Pages 49 – 50) 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 as described below.

In general, Tampa has developed and redeveloped as an urban city, with a defined urban core, regional and community centers, and established residential neighborhoods. As an urban city, Tampa has a defined city form that encompasses many components,

4

such as business centers, urban villages, mixed-use corridor villages, transit stations and neighborhoods.

The growth management strategy established in this Plan focuses on establishing sustainable and livable environments in areas with diverse needs. This will require sustained efforts to improve the mix of land uses. The sustainability and livability of Tampa’s city form relating to future growth and further redevelopment relies heavily on the natural evolution of all of the city form components, coupled with survival and protection of the established residential neighborhoods.

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 determine whether: a. a land use category of similar density or intensity is located on at least one (1) side of

the subject site, and There is no R-20 land use category on any side of the subject site. The closest R-20 designation is at the northwest corner of S. Dale Mabry Boulevard and Bay to Bay Boulevard which is approximately 800’ from the subject site.

b. the subject site is within 1320’ (1/4 mile) of a designated transit station or designated transit corridor, and Dale Mabry Boulevard is a designated transit corridor from Gandy Boulevard north to the City limits.

c. if 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 station or designated transit corridor. The site is adjacent to an R-6 land use category on the east but is located within 1/8 mile of a designated transit corridor having frontage directly on S. Dale Mabry Highway.

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. In this event, then City Council 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 that the R-6 land use category is remains in the best interest of this neighborhood and the City as a whole. The modification would allow for the introduction of substantially more intense uses into a predominately single family residential neighborhood.

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.

How Plan Categories Work with Neighborhoods (Chapter 3, pg. 115) Neighborhood plan categories and their supporting policies provide for the protection, maintenance, and enhancement of the city’s residential neighborhoods, assuring that new development complements and reinforces their unique characteristics through sensitive infill and transitions in scale from adjacent Centers and Corridors. They provide for residential neighborhoods that contain a diversity of housing types and for the development of more complete neighborhoods that incorporate supporting and complementary uses such as neighborhood-serving commercial, schools, parks, community meeting facilities, and comparable uses.

Contemporary Low Density Suburban Neighborhoods (Chapter 3, pg 119) Low and Very Low Density Suburban Residential City Form Guidelines A significant percentage of the populated portion of the City of Tampa, especially areas annexed in the last 50 years, is in the suburban category. This applies primarily to areas covered by future land use designations of two (2) to six (6) dwelling units per acre. Key city form characteristics of very low and low suburban residential development in suburban neighborhoods include: Less compact and intense than the urban pattern; Development may include residential subdivisions, community and neighborhood-serving

commercial (oriented to the surrounding neighborhood and at an appropriate scale), agricultural uses (North of Fletcher Avenue only), environmental areas, and regionally oriented employment centers;

Neighborhood Activity Centers are smaller in scale and may be located farther apart; Architectural styles may vary throughout each neighborhood, typically larger scale homes

on large lots; An automobile dominant transportation system that may be constrained due to sprawl

and forced infill redevelopment in older areas of the City; Pedestrian-scale development blocks that are easy to navigate; Neighborhood services, transit, parkland, and schools typically accessed by automobile; Street design that typically provides pedestrian paths, but may have limited areas for

bicycle travel; When appropriate, traffic-calming measures are used to promote pedestrian safety and

reduce automobile pedestrian conflicts; The pattern is more dependent on the automobile for most trips; and There can and may be transit service.

Low Density Suburban Neighborhood City Form Guidelines (Residential 6) This designation provides for low intensity residential uses, including: Single family detached permitted; Accessory second units may be considered; Compatible public, quasi-public, and special uses allowed; Maximum Density 6 Units/Net Acre Lot coverage that generally does not exceed 45%; Building heights that generally range from 1 to 3 stories; Neighborhoods are likely to be more homogeneous in size, form and type; Use of front-load garages and/or curb cuts along the lot frontage is common

Are there any Planned improvements in the area? The current Long Range Transportation Plan does not show any improvement to any roadways in this area.

Are there any Programmed improvements in the area? The current 5 year Transportation Improvement Program does not include any capacity improvements in this area.

Based upon maximum buildout scenarios, the existing land use category could generate up to 1 PM Peak Hr Trips with Residential-6. Based upon maximum buildout scenarios, the proposed land use category could generate up to 7 PM Peak Hr Trips with Residential-20. Assuming that access is from either Dale Mabry Hwy. or W. Palmira Ave. via Himes Ave., the maximum trips generated by the proposed scenarios would not cause Himes Ave. to operate at a deficient level of service. Any additional trips added to Dale Mabry Hwy. however, could further degrade the deficient level of service on this roadway.

Re: City of Tampa Comprehensive Plan Amendment

CPA 11-01

CPA 11-01

Amendment 11-01 would convert a .23 acre parcel from Residential-6 (R-6) to Residential-20 (R-20). Up

to 4 multi-family dwelling units could potentially be developed on the site. Based on adopted Student

Generation Rates the amendment could potentially generate 1 student in the kindergarten through 5th

grade level, 1 student at the 6th through 8th grade level, and 1 student at the high school level.

The amendment area will be served by Roosevelt Elementary School, Coleman Middle School and

Plant High School. The capacity and projected enrollments at the three schools are as follows:

over the limit. All three schools appear to have sufficient capacity to absorb the additional projected

students based on enrollment projected for 2014-15.

If there are no available student stations at Coleman at the time the potential middle school student is

generated, it will be necessary to assign the student to an adjacent middle school attendance zone.

It appears possible based on projections that there will be sufficient capacity available in the future to

accommodate the projected middle school enrollment from the proposed amendment. However,

enrollment capacity will be assessed at the time of permitting and it may be necessary to reassign

students to adjacent attendance zones or employ other forms of mitigation identified in the City of

Tampa School Concurrency Ordinance if sufficient student stations are not available at that time.
