  • 2017 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2017 Message from the Executive Director The accomplishments of the Plan Hillsborough staff in 2017 are many! We have much to be proud of and through this report offer just some of the highlights. Throughout the year, I have seen our staff continue to exemplify our agency values as we serve the Planning Commission, River Board, and Metropolitan Planning Organization as well as the four local governments. Integrity and Trust –Several projects illustrate the goal of meeting the needs of the community while building relationships and trust. Vision Zero required numerous partnerships to create and begin to implement an action plan. Redistricting for the City of Tampa likewise necessitated building trust as we identified important needs within our community. Innovation – We strive to think out of the box and have used technology to our Melissa Zornitta, AICP advantage by creating an eCeptionist to replace our retiring receptionist and a Executive Director Community Health Atlas to provide planners and citizens with a baseline profile of community health. Transparency – Getting the community involved and having a clear understanding of our projects is vital to creating successful plans. This was illustrated throughout the transparent process and open communication we had in projects like the Brandon East-West Corridor Study and the Plant City Road Extension Studies. Stewardship – With the aim of improving our existing plan amendment review process, we undertook an outside review by students at the University of South Florida to look for opportunities to do things more efficiently and to make better use of our resources. Servant Leadership – We added on-site office hours at each of the three cities to better meet the needs of the jurisdiction and clients who seek our services.

  • Rainy Season 2004 Story
    Rainy Season 2004 Story Fourth Summer in Row with Above Normal Rainfall A Review of Summer 2004 in West Central and Southwest Florida One of many flood scenes on Florida's Suncoast during September 2004. This photograph was taken on the State Road 54 bridge over the Anclote River (Pasco County) just north of Elfers, a day after Frances exited the area. Overview Few Suncoasters will soon forget the summer of 2004, which began in typical fashion with a spate of strong to severe thunderstorms, was followed by a relatively dry and hot period toward the middle, and finished with a six week blitz of tropical cyclones. Through mid July, areal rainfall was actually running below normal, though given the nature of Florida thunderstorms, some areas were quite wet while others were becoming parched. Conditions began to change thereafter, as general rainfall increased between mid July and early August, especially in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area. Then came the hammer. From August 12th through September 27th, the Suncoast was affected directly or indirectly by five tropical cyclones, which produced some type of weather hazard for all residents. Each system had its own "calling card". Tropical Storm Bonnie, making landfall outside of the Suncoast, nonetheless caused overwash and minor coastal flooding along the Nature Coast. Hurricane Charley was the worst windstorm to rip Florida since Andrew. Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne were sister acts, fairly large systems tracking east to west across the peninsula from the Treasure Coast to the Nature Coast. Frances will be remembered for two days of torrential rains and wind; Jeanne's faster movement held its similar effects to one day.
