Executive Summary Meeting Date: November 13, 2017 Agenda Item: TA/CPA 17-06 Map Amendment 5105 West Tyson Avenue Presenter: David A. Hey, Jr., AICP ext. 375 Action Necessary: Yes Summary: The Imagine 2040: 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 Imagine 2040: Tampa Comprehensive Plan pursuant to Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes and Chapter 97-351, Laws of Florida as amended. Plan Amendment TA/CPA 17-06 is a privately initiated request to amend the Imagine 2040: Tampa Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Plan Map. The subject site is located in the South Tampa Planning District, and more specifically at 5105 West Tyson Avenue, located on Rattlesnake Point in the Gandy/Sun Bay neighborhood. The subject site is also located within the Coastal High Hazard Area. The comprehensive plan defines the Coastal High Hazard Area as “the area below the elevation of the category 1 storm surge line as established by a Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) computerized storm surge model.” The request is to change the Future Land Use designation for an approximate 11.93- acre subject site from Heavy Industrial (HI) to Community Mixed Use-35 (CMU-35). Currently, residential uses are not permitted on the subject site. Planning Commission staff identified a number of issues related to the proposed introduction of the Community Mixed Use-35 Future Land Use category onto Rattlesnake Point. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of industrial planned areas to our region’s economy and seeks to maintain these areas for further intensification. The entire subject site is located within the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA). An objective of the Comprehensive Plan is to direct future populations away from the CHHA. Also, placing residential uses within proximity to heavy industrial uses, especially within 350 feet of an industrial use that works with highly toxic chemicals, is not encouraged and would not be supportive of the existing industrial uses. The proposed plan amendment is inconsistent with policy direction in the Comprehensive Plan. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Planning Commission find map amendment TA/CPA 17- Plan Hillsborough 06 INCONSISTENT with the Imagine 2040: Tampa Comprehensive Plan and forward planhillsborough.org this recommendation to the Tampa City Council.
