1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Meeting Date: February 8, 2016 Agenda Item: Tampa: Comprehensive Plan Amendment TA/CPA Presenter: David Hey, Jr., AICP (extension 375) Action Necessary: Yes SUMMARY: The 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 Tampa Comprehensive Plan pursuant to Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes and Chapter , Laws of Florida as amended. Plan Amendment TA/CPA is a privately initiated request to amend the Tampa Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Plan Map. The request is to change the Future Land Use designation for an approximate 0.80-acre subject site from Residential-10 (R-10) and Community Mixed Use-35 (CMU-35) to Community Commercial-35 (CC-35). The subject site is located in the Central Tampa Planning District, on the east side of North Suwanee Avenue, between East Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and East Ida Street. The subject site is also located within the Seminole Heights Urban Village and is within the boundaries of the Seminole Heights Vision Plan. Though the subject site is identified as being located within a Neighborhood Node within the Vision Plan, these nodes are limited to a mixture of residential, office and neighborhood serving commercial uses. The request for an expansion of the Community Commercial-35 (CC-35) Future Land Use category is inconsistent with the Seminole Heights Vision Plan. The Vision Plan and associated Vision Plan Map shall be used as guides during any proposed Future Land Use Map amendment, so as to achieve the vision of the overall area. Also, one of the main objectives of the Tampa Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Plan is to preserve, protect and enhance single family neighborhoods. The introduction of the Community Commercial-35 Future Land Use, which permits consideration of Commercial Intensive (CI) zoning, would negatively impact existing residential uses by encroaching further into the Old Seminole Heights neighborhood. Plan Hillsborough planhillsborough.org planner@plancom.org E Kennedy Blvd 18 th floor Tampa, FL, RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Planning Commission find the amendment TA/CPA INCONSISTENT with the Tampa Comprehensive Plan and forward this recommendation to the Tampa City Council.

7 CONTEXT OF PROPOSED CHANGE This privately initiated, small scale plan amendment proposes to change four existing parcels: two parcels, approximately 0.36 acres in total size, designated Community Mixed Use-35; and the other two parcels, totaling approximately 0.44 acres, designated Residential-10 (R-10) to the Community Commercial-35 (CC-35) Future Land Use category. Existing Land Uses and Typical Development in the Surrounding Area Future Land Uses The surrounding area contains a mixture of Future Land Use categories. The majority of the subject site, including properties to the north and west are currently designated Residential-10 (R-10) and are represented by the tan color. The remaining southern portion of the subject site and properties fronting along East Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd are designated Community Mixed Use-35 (pink). Properties located along North Florida Avenue and on portions of West Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd are designated Community Commercial-35 (red). Higher density residential uses are located to the south of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. and east of North Florida Avenue. Residential-20 is shown in light brown while Residential-35 is represented by the The site is currently being utilized for open storage and some limited operations associated with the adjacent Galaxy Fireworks commercial operation. Though the subject site has been used for commercial operations for a number of years, the northern portion of the subject site was never approved for the current use, which would require a Commercial Intensive (CI) zoning district. The subject site is classified as vacant commercial ( ) and light commercial (pink) by the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser. The surrounding area contains a mixture of uses, ranging from light commercial (pink), heavy commercial (red), light industrial (light grey), duplexes (orange), single family detached (yellow), and multi-family residential (brown) uses. Interstate 275 is located approximately 1,200 feet to the east of the subject site.

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 (1) 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. 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. 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.

12 STAFF ANALYSIS The approximate 0.84-acre subject site is located within the Seminole Heights Urban Village and is also located within the boundaries of The Greater Seminole Heights Vision Plan. The Old Seminole Heights neighborhood is one of the oldest residential areas in the City of Tampa. A majority of the residential uses date back to the Florida Boom years of 1919 through In 2009, the City of Tampa undertook a community planning effort. Residents, business owners, public officials and other interest stakeholders worked together to develop The Greater Seminole Heights Vision Plan. After the vision planning process took place, City of Tampa embarked on creating a Form Based code for the area, so as to implement a number of strategic goals from the Old Seminole Heights Vision Plan and to ensure that new development is comparable and compatible with the existing residential pattern. Within the City of Tampa Comprehensive Plan, areas that have undergone additional community planning efforts, like the Seminole Heights neighborhood, are designated as Urban Villages. Future growth in urban villages is directed by the future land use plan categories that each village presently has, and future change in urban villages is informed by the secondary plan for that village. An urban village designation also recognizes the contributions a particular area makes to the City and provides guidance regarding the intended function, character, intensity, type and degree of growth anticipated for an area. Policy language within the Comprehensive Plan calls for new development to be in scale and character with the surrounding community. Any future changes to the overall development pattern should be consistent with any adopted Community Plan, such as The Greater Seminole Heights Vision Plan. The proposed overall intensification of the underlying Future Land Use categories is inconsistent with the policy direction in the Comprehensive Plan. (Policies & ) One of the main tenets of the City of Tampa Comprehensive Plan is the protection of existing single family residential areas. As the overall City continues to intensify, these single family detached areas will continue to be threatened with commercial encroachment. The proposed plan amendment, which has the potential to introduce Commercial, Intensive (CI) uses over the entire site, would remove areas that are currently planned for residential uses and would allow for additional density and intensity further into the residential neighborhood. The removal of acreage currently planned and approved for residential uses would be inconsistent with a number of Comprehensive Plan policies. (Policies 1.2.1, 1.2.2, ) The Commercial, Intensive (CI) zoning district is the most intense commercial zoning district with the City of Tampa. Typical uses found within the CI zoning district, include light manufacturing uses, open storage, large kennels, printing and publishing uses, and maintenance or storage facilities. These intense uses typically bring additional noise and truck traffic. By allowing additional intensification further into the existing neighborhood, the introduction of the Community Commercial-35 Future Land Use category may threaten the long term viability of the residential character found along this portion of West Ida Street. Though located within proximity to the intersection of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and North Florida Avenue, the currently adopted Future Land Use categories of Community Mixed Use-35 and Residential-10 were designated as such so as to provide for an appropriate transition of density and intensities between the commercial uses that front along North Florida Avenue and the single family detached residential uses located directly to the north and east of the subject site. Though the southern 0.36-acre portion of the subject site is currently designated Community Mixed Use-35, this portion of the subject site is currently zoned Commercial, Intensive (CI). This portion of the subject site did utilize the Flex Provision (Chapter 9, Page 499) which allowed for the adjacent Community Commercial-35 (at the time Heavy Commercial-24) Future Land Use category to be flexed across the southern portion of the subject site. The City of Tampa removed the availability of the Flex Provision for any new rezonings as of May 24, Any changes to the current zoning district of CI would eliminate the overlying flex and Tampa: CPA East Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard 4003, 4005, and 4007 North Suwanee Avenue Page 7 of 30 Planning Commission Staff Report

13 the property would have to revert back to uses permitted under the existing Community Mixed Use-35 Future Land Use category. The subject site is located within a neighborhood node as defined by Policy Within these nodes, Policy , allows for consideration of additional density and intensity, up to 25%, based on providing additional amenities that are further defined in the Land Development Code. Based on this policy, the subject site, if the plan amendment is approved, could be considered for an additional 17,423 square feet of non-residential uses for a total of 87,118 square feet of non-residential uses. An additional 6 residential units could also be considered, if meeting the bonus criteria outlined in Policy , giving a total potential residential density of 33 total units. The potential for this amount of intensity and density would not provide for an appropriate transition and would potentially create a number of negative impacts on the adjacent single family attached residential uses. The existing development potential, based on the currently adopted Future Land Use categories and utilizing the neighborhood node bonus criteria within Policy , would provide for a total of 20 residential units or a maximum of 47,588 square feet of non-residential uses. This overall development potential, under the currently adopted Future Land Use categories, is more in keeping with the development pattern envisioned through The Greater Seminole Heights Vision Plan and related Comprehensive Plan policies. Overall, the proposed Community Commercial-35 Future Land Use category would not provide for an appropriate transition between existing residential uses. The potential of Commercial, Intensive (CI) zoning occupying the entire block under the Community Commercial-35 Future Land Use category, would pose a number of compatibility issues with the existing single family detached residential uses. The category would also be inconsistent with the vision for the neighborhood as outlined through The Greater Seminole Heights Vision Plan. Agency Comments (See Attachment B) City of Tampa Land Development Coordination staff has objections to the proposed plan amendment due to the requested Future Land Use category allowance for Commercial, Intensive (CI) zoning, the potential for the encroachment of the CI zoning district into an area with established residential uses and the potential for a development pattern that would not be compatible with the scale and context of the Old Seminole Heights neighborhood. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find the proposed land use designation change for Tampa Plan Amendment TA/CPA from Community Mixed Use-35 (CMU-35) and Residential-10 (R-10) to Community Commercial-35 (CC-35) INCONSISTENT with the Tampa Comprehensive Plan and forward this recommendation to Tampa City Council.

20 City of Tampa Planning and Development Comments REQUEST SUMMARY CPA 15-08: Location Address: Existing Land Use: Requested Land Use: 300 East Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, 4003, 4005, and 4007 North Suwanee Avenue Residential-10 (RES-10), Community Mixed Use-35 (CMU-35) Community Commercial-35 (CC-35) The subject property consists of four parcels totaling ± acres, or 34,848 square feet. This site is bounded by East Ida Street to the north, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to the south, and North Suwanee Avenue to the west. The subject property is adjacent to retail and commercial development along the west and northwest, and residential development to the north, east, and south across East Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. EXISTING ZONING The two most southern parcels are zoned SH-CI (Seminole Heights Mixed Use Commercial Intensive) which provides areas for intense commercial activity, permitting heavy commercial and service uses. The two most northern parcels are zoned SH-RS-50 (Seminole Heights Single-Family Residential) which provides for primarily detached single family residential uses. See subject parcels highlighted in green below: SH-RS NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE SH-CI NORTH SUWANEE AVE SH-CG 1

21 City of Tampa Planning and Development Comments EXISTING LAND USE DESIGNATION The subject property consists of two Future Land Use designations; Residential-10 (R-10) for the two northern parcels, which allows a maximum residential density of 10 dwelling units per gross acre and could allow 4 dwelling units, and Community Mixed Use (CMU- 35) for the two parcels along the south, which allows a maximum of 35 dwelling units per gross acre and could allow for 12 dwelling units. Typical uses include horizontal and vertical mixed-use development and single-use commercial and residential development that includes: retail, service, office and residential uses. PLANNING DISTRICTS The subject property is located in the Seminole Heights Residential Overlay and Central Tampa Districts. The Central Tampa District plays a vital role in the Plan s growth strategy (the Compact City form) by providing diversity of neighborhood choice for residents of the City. LIVABLE CITY GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES 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. 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. This site is located on East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, a commercial corridor. West of this site to North Florida Avenue contains commercial uses and north and east of this site contain residential uses. The requested CC-35 land use would allow for general and intensive commercial uses on the most northern parcels located on North Suwanee Avenue and East Ida Street. Uses transition from commercial along North Florida Ave to lower intensity residential moving east along East Ida Street. This request does not promote the goals and policies of a livable City and would not preserve the overall residential character of the neighborhood along East Ida Street and directly east of the site between the alley and North Seminole Avenue. 2

22 City of Tampa Planning and Development Comments GREATER SEMINOLE HEIGHTS VISION PLAN The Greater Seminole Heights Vision Plan has been developed as the Community Plan for this area. The Vision Plan shall be used to guide the future growth, development, public improvements, and decision-making of the designated community planning areas. The planning area is a blend of several key components that make up the larger city form of Tampa. Goal 23: Preserve and reinforce the stability and diversity of the City s neighborhoods designated Urban Villages. Objective 23.3: Policy : Develop objectives and policies that guide reuse, redevelopment, and infill development in the Seminole Heights Urban Village that meet the Vision Plan of the community and associated Vision Plan Map. The Seminole Heights Vision Plan Map designates the subject parcels for Mixed Use Neighborhood Scale development which may contain a mixture of non-residential and residential uses. Nonresidential uses are limited to neighborhood serving and general commercial uses such as office, retail, and restaurant. Development height: 1 to 3 stories, a 45 maximum. The requested CC-35 designation will allow for more intensive commercial uses which is not consistent with these objectives. The Vision Plan and associated Vision Plan Map shall be used as guides for any Comprehensive Plan text amendments or proposed changes to the future land use map, to achieve the vision of the area, consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Tampa Comprehensive Plan. The Seminole Heights Vision Plan map designates the subject parcels as Mixed Use Neighborhood Scale and allows for low intensity and general commercial uses. The requested CC-35 land use designation will allow for intensive commercial uses with a maximum 2.0 FAR and is not consistent with the Seminole Heights Vision Plan. 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: 3

23 City of Tampa Planning and Development Comments 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 area within the Central Tampa Planning District. 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, 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 CC-35 land use category on the west side of the subject site across North Suwanee Avenue and CMU-35 to the east of the site. b. the subject site is within 1320 (1/4 mile) of a designated transit station or designated transit corridor, and There are two transit emphasis corridors within ¼ mile of the site: North Florida Avenue running north-south and East Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard running east-west. 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. This site is 4

24 City of Tampa Planning and Development Comments adjacent to R-10 land use classifications to the north and the east. There are two transit emphasis corridors within 1/8 mile of the site: North Florida Avenue running north-south and East Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard running east-west. 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 development pattern of the area, the Seminole Heights Vision Plan, the Comprehensive Plan goals, policies and objectives, and the location of the subject parcel in relation to a core neighborhood of the City, staff believes that the Community Commercial (CC-35) land use category is NOT in the best interest of this neighborhood and the City as a whole. The modification would allow for the expansion of intensive commercial uses into an established 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. 5
