Reports

1. Charner Reese – Reported her changes in the VISION statement. The Chair handed out a document comparing the two documents, the original text and the edited text. There was much discussion and it was motioned, seconded and approved that Renae Meehan would condense the document to one page – Lisa DeVitto would edit it.

2. Resident write-up – The Chair reported that she had written and sent out to everyone. There was some discussion about it. Rose reported that she wasn’t sure of the direction of it. She explained that she didn’t understand why the 1975 plan was in it because it was out of date. She stated that there were Master Plans that had been done – the 1975 was an interim and incorporated into the Horizon 2000 Plan. The Chair asked if the community had been interviewed with the other plans and she said no. The landuse piece of the 1975 plan to the current landuse map and that they are almost identical. The Future Land Use Map is the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. They may have different titles because the ___ Classifications have changed. There are a lot of multifamily that have been added, Charner mentioned. Rose responded that was a lot that came through on the zoning conformance program. And this was the basis of the Zoning Conformance Program was if they had the zoning, the zoning was then converted from the Leary Code so that no ones zoning was taken away. The zoning piece was what implemented the Horizon 2000 plan came into being 1977 and served as a basis for The Tampa Comprehensive Plan which came into use in 1979. In 1995-96 there was something that changed all zoning. Then in 1985 Legislation changed and then in 1989 we then updated the plan but in the time period of 1985-86 there was something called the zoning conformance program which changed all the zoning but it zoning implements the 1979 plan. Charner suggested that some of those issues we’d like to address – we began learning earlier on that there are certain areas right now that are all single-family detached and what we learned that the zoning was single family and yet the future land use would allow it to go to town homes. So in those areas we want to know how we can address what we heard that the community likes predominately single family detached housing for the future. And at the same time not have that line go right down the middle of the street but if there is going to be a line like that let it go down the whole block or alley – cushioning the change from town homes to single family detached. Rose cautioned us that we needed to know that just looking at a land use plan does not mean what will happen in the future. There are many policies in the plan when you look at zoning. Charner suggested that we work to get our policies worked out in time, we could get these policies incorporated in the 2025 Plan that the Planning Commission is working on right now.

There was much discussion on Zoning, Population Density and what kind of data we need to gather to put out options for the desires that we have heard. It was decided that Rose would bring the “facts” she felt we needed to the next meeting.

3. The Chair reported on how much it would cost to put another plate in the newspaper to publish the Plan Options - $130 for the plate; $120 for production so a total of about $250.00 per section. Renae stated that putting it in 4 papers she thought was too drawn out and she suggested that we put it into one or two.

Next Meeting(s):
