  • Chapter 2: the Livable City Vision: Strategies That Get Us Ready for Change
    CHAPTER 2 Chapter 2: The Livable City Vision: Strategies that get us ready for Change Tampa’s future is one of change, stimulated by growth manifesting itself through redevelopment of our city. The Livable city plan acknowledges change must be accommodated within the existing urban structure that respects and preserves the fabric of existing residential neighborhoods. The seven strategies expressed in this Chapter, work towards shaping the city and future involve steering growth and change to specifi c parts of the city while strengthening and protecting our residential neighborhoods from development pressures. The Livable City Strategies work together to realize fi scal effi ciencies for the City of Tampa and other funding agencies and help achieve other public goals including effi cient transit. Strategy 1: Organizing Planning Districts - (Gett ing Transit Ready) The fi rst step to planning a framework is the establishment of Planning Districts. Districts connect and cohesively support the City’s continued health and success. The Vision Map illustrates the boundaries of fi ve districts: the Central Tampa, Westshore, University, New Tampa and South Tampa Districts. Each of these districts are a functional planning unit encompassing several square miles. They share a common identity, and include the city’s many assets such as regional economic engines, residential and business neighborhoods, parks and schools. The roles and relationships of one district to another district will guide the planning strategies that are most eff ective in supporting a strong economy and a livable city form; ensure a mix of employment and housing; utilize partnerships which promote community capacity building; enhance our identity; and ensure that infrastructure investments such as transit support the Livable City vision.

  • South Tampa Neighborhoods
    SOUTH TAMPA: South Tampa is a 4 mile x 8 mile peninsula that protrudes into the Tampa Bay / Hillsborough Bay. South Tampa is home to MacDill Air Force Base, which is encompasses the entire southern point of the peninsula. There’s a diversity of neighborhoods, ranging from mansions to historic homes to smaller, modest homes. Western side of the peninsula has hundreds of waterfront homes with direct access to the Tampa Bay. Each neighborhood is unique with homogeneous appeal and construction quality. Due to the desirability of South Tampa, and lack of vacant, buildable land, homes of less quality are being razed to make room for new, larger homes with significant appeal. This trend is obvious while driving the streets of south Tampa by both the mixture of new and old, and ongoing construction. Bayshore Boulevard overlooks the Hillsborough Bay, and sports the longest sidewalk in the world. Bayshore Boulevard is home to Tampa Bay’s largest and most popular festival, the Gasparilla Parade. This tradition started in 1904 as the mythical Jose Gaspar, a pirate, had a buried treasure in Tampa. Jose Gaspar and his krewe of 900, Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla, invades the city by pirate ship every February, bringing nearly ½ million spectators to the invasion. SOUTH TAMPA NEIGHBORHOODS: BALLAST POINT Gandy Boulevard to the north; MacDill Air Force Base to the south; Hillsborough Bay to the east; MacDill Avenue to the west Driving through Ballast Point, you will see a wide variety of housing types, ranging from modest ranches to large estate homes. 1940’s vintage homes are average quality ranch design.
