The following individual appeared before Council to make comments:
Sandy Sanchez
Motion: (Clendenin-Viera) That said public hearing be closed. Motion carried unanimously.
(Ordinance being presented for first reading consideration) - An ordinance rezoning
property in the general vicinity of 2402 West Cypress Street, in the City of Tampa, Florida,
and more particularly described in Section 1, from Zoning District Classification(S) RM-16
(Residential, Multi-Family) to PD (Planned Development, Residential, Single-Family, Semi-
Detached); providing an effective date.
Motion: (Clendenin-Carlson) That Council moves to deny said petition due to the failure of
the applicant to meet its burden of proof to provide competent and substantial evidence
that the development, as conditioned and shown on the site plan, is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and City Code and the applicant’s failure to meet its burden of proof
with respect to the requested waivers; Further, that the requested waivers as the staff has
found, the applicant is not able to build two units on that site under the existing Euclidean
Zone of RM-16; Staff has determined that the applicant cannot build two units on the site
under the current zoning regulations. The applicant is seeking a Planned Development (PD)
approval instead. However, the design of the proposed project is not unique and does not
warrant a waiver. The applicant failed to provide sufficient evidence to support their
request for a waiver. The requested waivers are not in alignment with the intent and
purpose of Chapter 27-139 of the PD Code criteria and other relevant land development
regulations, as well as the Tampa Comprehensive Plan criteria. Lastly, the Tampa
Comprehensive Plan listing specific code sections section 27.136.1 and 27.136. 3, support
reasoning. Motion carried by voice roll call vote of 6-1 with Hurtak voting no.
Motion: (Henderson-Miranda) That the speaker waiver form submitted by Sandy Sanchez
for said public hearing, be received and filed. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion: (Henderson-Miranda) That the documents submitted by Sandy Sanchez, be
