4:31C one vacation item vacation petition 24-0007.
4:35Uh real estate service will present this item.
4:45Good morning, Commissioners.
4:47Victoria Rosenbecker for the record with facilities management and real estate services.
4:52Item C1 today is vacate ID V24-0007.
5:00This is a petition by Standard Building Solutions Inc., Madison Montgomery, Tamiami, LLC, and Building Materials Manufacturing LLC to vacate a portion of both platted and deeded public right of way known as Idaho Avenue.
5:14The right-of-way consists of approximately 2.07 acres and is located east of South 50th Street and north of Madison Avenue and Greater Palm River.
5:25The subject right of way was originally created by the Platte of South Tampa Villa Sites as recorded in Plat Book 6, page 58, and was later expanded through two deeds conveyed to the county in the 1960s.
5:39The petitioners have submitted this request to unite the parcels for improved functionality.
5:45Reviewing departments, agencies, and utility providers have raised no objections to this request.
5:51As a note, the South Tampa Villa Sites Plat created in 1911, originally reserved ownership of the streets to the Tampa Bay Land Company, which has since dissolved.
6:03County staff is relying upon application of Florida statutes 177.085 for providing sufficient proof that the petitioners are the underlying fee simple title owners of the platted portion of the vacate area.
6:19The petitioners have agreed to indemnify, defend, and hold the county harmless should the application of this statute for proof of underlining ownership be incorrect, which is provided for in their supplemental indemnification letter, which is included in the backup.
6:34Thank you for your consideration, and I can answer any questions that you may have.
6:42Seeing none, community motion approval.

8:52Yeah, we just had one C item in the item.
8:56All right, please continue.
8:59Good morning, Cami Corbett with the law firm of Hill Ward and Henderson representing the applicant.
9:03This language just allows us the flexibility should there not be bus service in the area or modified bus service in the area to have the flexibility to work with Hart on what facilities to provide.

9:15Um, and I'm happy to answer any questions should you have any.
9:18Uh the applicant here or any proponent testimony.

9:27Motion, Commissioner Myers.
9:29Send Commissioner Cohen, please record your vote.
9:33I just wanted to point out to the board for information at our last hard board meeting after a COA.
9:39We had to make the difficult decision that there was just no support in the Waymama area, about 15 riders per day, and we had to take back that level of service that was there to more justify this motion.
9:51I'll be supporting it.
9:55Okay, we have a motion and a second.
9:57Please record your vote.
10:03Motion carried seven and zero.
10:09The next item is agenda item F1 rezoning standard 25-1320.
10:15This is a request to rezone a point three-four acre parcel that's located on the on the north side of Downing Street.
10:21Uh basically west of west of uh Dover Road and east of Gallagher Road.
10:29Uh the request is to rezone from uh to from RFC six to commercial general with restrictions or restrictions or putting use restrictions on it, uh limiting limiting limiting the development uh to uh furniture upholstery repair uh including uh furniture.
10:45They're also committing to providing a six-foot fence along the southern boundary along Downing Street to provide for additional uh screening for residents to the south of the property.
10:55Uh staff is recommending approval based on the existing uh zoning development pattern in the OC20 plan category that uh the parcel has.
11:03Um hearing officer also recommended approval, but uh planning planning commission did find this thing inconsistent with the plan.
11:09Uh we're built for any questions.
11:11Uh is the applicant here.
11:19Ruilondono and the representative, the owners.
11:23Is this board have some question about this?
11:29Did you have a we we we may have questions, but it was is there anything that you'd want to present before then?
11:36Uh the more important after the first hearing presentation that I want to have in consideration is to clarify that the boats got to be all the furniture got to be taken carried out from the marine or the boat uh dock to the workshop.
12:00This is no intensive use for this area.
12:04We are surrounding some properties that are with commercial uses right now, all from the north from the north side of Downing Street.
12:15You see some current uses.
12:19They have you see from Downing Street to the north.
12:24That is the future land use is uh office commercial 20.
12:30All that uses are commercial.
12:33From the south size is the future land use is residential areas.
12:39Um use that this one the we are proposing is a restaurant or refurnishing for the boat upstairs up to it.
12:51And is this uh no heavy industrial is no heavy work on there?
12:59They have some picture that you can see.
13:02The boats got to be on place.
13:04The boat got to be on the site that is located on the marine or the house from the owner for the boats.
13:13The owner for the business only got to carry out the furniture, bring to the board shop and do the reformishing.
13:25You have any question?
13:27Not at this time, ma'am.
13:32Uh this time anyone in support of the application.
13:36Anyone in opposition?
13:39Planning commission.
13:41Thank you, Melissa Linehardt Planning Commission staff.
13:43The subject property is located within the office commercial 20 future land use category.
13:48The site is in the rural area, and the subject property is not located within the limits of a community plan.
13:54Future land use section policy 3.1.3 requires that all new development be compatible with the surrounding area.
14:01There is a CSX railway to the north of the site with Dr.
14:05Martin Luther King Jr.
14:06Boulevard to the north of the railway.
14:09There are single family residential uses directly south of the site across Downing Street.
14:14To the west, there is a public quasi public parcel owned by the county, as well as additional single family residential to the east.
14:26The proposed um rezoning for commercial general restricted does not meet the intent of this objective as the operating characteristics of a funeral furniture refurnishing and repair and commercial both up postery use would be too intensive of a use in such a close proximity to the single family residential located to the south of the site.
14:46Additionally, future land use section 4.8.1 states that high-intensity non-residential development shall be located external to emerging and established residential neighborhoods and accessed on accessed on arterial and collector roadways.
15:00While the site is not in a residential future land use category, the site is adjacent to residential categories.
15:06It's also within a residential community and can only be accessed through a local roadway that is within a residential future land use category.
15:13Based upon those considerations, planning commission staff finds the proposed rezoning inconsistent with the unincorporated Hillsborough County Comprehensive Plan.
15:24The Hearing Master considered the request to rezone an approximately 0.34 acre parcel located on the north side of Downing Street, approximately 1,300 feet west of the Dover Road Downing Street intersection from RSC 6 to commercial general restricted with proposed restrictions limiting the use of the property to a furniture refinishing repair and uphold street business and requiring a six-foot high fence along the southern property line along Downing Street.
15:56Development Services finds the rezoning request approvable with these restrictions.
16:02The zoning hearing master concluded that the subject application with restrictions on a relatively small lot is on a relatively small lot, and the limitation of the property to a single commercial use and provision for a six-foot tall opaque fence along Downing Street will minimize the impacts of the use on the residential uses on Downing Street and the zoning hearing master recommended approval of the rezoning.
16:34Do you have any questions or comments?
16:36If not, can we have a motion?
16:40Motion to approve Commissioner Walstool, second Commissioner Cohen.
16:43Uh please record your vote on F1.
16:49Motion carried seven to zero.
16:53Next item Commissioner's agenda item F2 is major modification 25-1375.
16:59The request is to modify a three-acre portion of a plan of element that's located on the south side of Boyd Road between McMullen Road and Balm Review Road.
17:08Uh Commissioner's Appen is requesting to modify the commercial portion of the PD to modify the layout and location of access points and add an additional use that was previously prohibited, which is restaurant through drive-thru.
17:21They have it has committed to a 200 foot step back from property lines of the platted townhomes, and also uh provided for an additional screening and additional landscape screening along the common boundary between the commercial and the residential staff has found this approval subject conditions.
17:37Planning commission found it consistent with the plan and the hearing officer also recommended approval where we have any questions.
17:47Good morning, Cami Corbett with the law firm of Hill Ward and Henderson.
17:50I don't really have anything to add.
17:51The only reason why this item is not on the consent agenda is because it's on a failing roadway segment.
17:56We still have that rule in place, and that's the only reason why it's not on consent.
18:01Um we did receive a couple of calls, one from the CDD just asking about the request, and they did not have any objections from any of their members, and then another property owner who thought that adding a drive-thru here would be a good use.
18:13So I'm here to answer any questions.
18:14Should you have any?
18:17Anyone here in support the application?
18:19Anyone in opposition?
18:21Planning commission.
18:24Subject property is located within the residential four future land use category.
18:28The site is in the urban service area, and the subject property is located within the limits of the Riverview Community Plan as well as the South Shore Area Wide Systems Plan.
18:37Future land use section objective 4.4 and future land use section policy 4.4.1 require new development to be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
18:46In this case, the surrounding land use pattern is comprised mostly of light commercial uses to the north and east and residential uses to the south and west.
18:54With the mitigation measures proposed in place, including the 20-foot buffer and type B screening on the southern boundary of the site, and the condition that any call box associated with the drive-through eating establishment will be at least 200 feet away from a residential property.
19:09The request can be seen as compatible with the policies related to neighborhood and community development.
19:14Future land use section objective 4.7 outlines the policies associated with commercial locational criteria.
19:21As outlined in future land use section policy 4.7.2, at least 75% of the subject property is not located within the 1,000 feet of a as required of an intersection of roadways, both functionally classified as a collector or arterial.
19:39However, the same the following policy outlines that non-residential uses and residential categories can be considered if they meet certain criteria.
19:47One of these criteria applies to the neighborhood serving commercial uses that are integrated and connected as part of a larger mixed use development of at least 10 acres in size.
20:00Is the proposed major modification areas within a larger mixed-use plan development that is greater than 10 acres?
20:03This policy applies to the site.
20:05The site is connected to Pod B with the adjacent commercial uses via access points and sidewalk, and therefore the request meets this criteria and the commercial locational criteria policies.
20:16Based upon those considerations, Planning Commission staff finds the proposed modification consistent with the unincorporated Hillsboro County comprehensive plan, subject to the conditions proposed by development services.
20:28Thank you, Hearing Master.
20:30The zoning hearing master considered the application to modify the retail component of an approved PD located on the south side of Boya Road, approximately 1600 feet west of the Boyette Road, McMullen Road intersection in the Riverview area.
20:47The subject request will allow for drive-through eating establishment within a limited area of this retail parcel.
20:57The request is conditioned such that a drive-thru call box must be located a minimum of 200 feet from the closest residentially platted lot.
21:09The ZHM found that the proposed zoning condition regarding the call box meets the intent of the LDC's drive-through call box requirement that call boxes be located a minimum of 200 feet away from residential zoning.
21:25The intent is to create a substantial separation from residential uses and call boxes.
21:45Okay, I don't see anyone in the queue.
21:50Motion Commissioner Walsh will sign Commissioner Collin on F2.
21:53Please call your vote.
21:58Motion carried seven and zero.
22:02Commissioner's next item F3 rezoning standard 26-0037.
22:06This is a request to rezone a point six six acre parcel that's okay in the town and country area on the west side of Benjamin Road between Waters and Sly Avenue.
22:15The request is a resonant from AI to M manufactured zoning district.
22:19Uh it's a light industrial plan category.
22:22We are finding an approvable uh planning commission found and consistent in the area.
22:26Also recommended approval.
22:28We're available for any questions.
22:39My name is Melville Rodriguez.
22:41I did the application.
22:42Um do you have any questions?
22:46Or do you want me to we don't have any questions at this time?
22:52Is there anything that you'd like to present to us?
22:54At this moment, it's just that uh they just gonna go ahead and change it because their requirements is to park trucks there.
23:02So that's the why they need to change the rezoning, basically.
23:09Just be available if anyone should have questions as here from staff.
23:13All right, thank you.
23:14Uh anyone in support of the application.
23:17Anyone in opposition?
23:19Planning commission.
23:21The subject property is located within the light industrial future land use category.
23:25The site is in the urban service area, and the subject property is located within the limits of the town and country community plan.
23:33The area surrounding the subject site is currently developed with higher intensity commercial and industrial uses with minimal residential uses.
23:40The commercial uses nearby include a gas station, tire shop, car rental, and repair, as well as open storage of commercial vehicles.
23:47The majority of residential uses in the area are located west across the Veterans Expressway.
23:53The site is surrounded by more intensive future land use categories of office commercial 20, research corporate park, and urban mixed use 20.
24:02Future land use section policy 3.1.3 requires all new development to be compatible with the surrounding area.
24:08Given the current development pattern that can consists mainly of higher intensity commercial and industrial uses, the proposed rezoning is compatible with the surrounding area and neighborhood character.
24:18Therefore, the rezoning request is consistent with the aforementioned policy direction.
24:23The light industrial future land use category allows for the consideration of agricultural processing, manufacturing, storage of materials, wholesaling, and office uses.
24:33The light industrial future land use category also has a maximum floor area ratio of 0.75.
24:40With 0.68 acres, the subject site can be considered for up to 22,215 square feet.
24:46The proposed rezoning is consistent with the uses allowed under the future land use category and is consistent with future land use section goal two and objective 2.1.
25:00Based upon those considerations, planning commission staff finds the proposed rezoning consistent with the unincorporated Hillsborough County Comprehensive Plan.
25:06The zoning hearing master considered the application, which is a request to rezone an approximately 0.68 acre parcel located on the west side of Benjamin Road, approximately 1,300 feet south of the Waters Avenue and Benjamin Road intersection in the town and country area.
25:25From agricultural industrial AI to M manufacturing zoning.
25:31The zoning hearing master noted that the Benjamin Road corridor in the vicinity of the site is comprised of industrial and heavy commercial land uses and industrial zoning.
25:42The applicant's intent is to use the property for the parking and storage of trucks and other vehicles.
25:48Development services found the rezoning request approvable.
25:54The zoning hearing master found that the proposed rezoning to industrial manufacturing, rather, is compatible with the surrounding industrial related land uses and zoning pattern along Benjamin Road, and the zoning hearing master concluded with a recommendation of approval.
26:15Okay, I don't see one of the second.
26:18Motion approved Commissioner Cohen.
26:26Motion carries seven to zero.
26:29Commissioner for the next item is agenda item F4 Historic Landmark Designation Report for the Weimar Memorial Cemetery at 6012 and 614 at Adina Street in Waimama.
26:39Uh calling Marshall Wood County staff will present this item.
26:47Colleen Marshall Development Services.
26:50I'm here to present the landmark designation briefing for Historic Waimama and Memorial Cemetery, summarizing the landmark designation report and analysis.
26:58Report and analysis were completed by our consultants' heirs and community planning collaborative.
27:05Cemeteries located at 6012 and 6014 Adina Street and Waimama.
27:11Spans 4.75 acres and lies in historically African American neighborhood.
27:17Cemetery also includes unimproved right-of-way between the folios as well.
27:23Cemetery dates back to the early 1900s, appearing in plaits from 1907 and 1914, reflects segregation area burial traditions, and is deeply embedded in the social and spiritual fabric of the community.
27:38Black cemeteries are cultural landscapes that reflect resilience and memories.
27:56The site's sandy soils and natural vegetation are characteristic of rural African American cemeteries.
28:02There's no formal landscaping in the spatial organization as organic.
28:15These reflect community craftsmanship and cultural traditions, including veteran headstones.
28:22Two ground penetrating radar surveys conducted in 2023 revealed numerous unmarked graves.
28:28Silver crosses now mark these locations, ensuring they're recognized and respected.
28:43Although the church contributes to the historical context of the cemetery, physical changes to the church building are not recommended for inclusion in the local landmark designation.
29:11If the properties designated as a Hillsborough County Historic Landmark, designation protects the cemetery from disturbance, ensures stewardship of all graves, and honors the African American Heritage of IMAMA.
29:43The proposed landmark must then also meet one or more of the remaining criteria listed on this slide and the next.
30:00Cemetery also meets criteria eight, nine, ten, and eleven is shown.
30:07The historic resources review board voted unanimously to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that the Waiman Memorial Cemetery be designated a historic landmark.
30:16Planning Commission reviewed the matter at its January 12th, 2026 public meeting, and found the proposed landmark designation consistent with the comprehensive plan.
30:24Therefore, staff recommends approval the historic landmark designation of the my mama memorial cemetery.
30:31All right, thank you.
30:32Would anyone like to speak this item?
30:36Seeing none, what's the pleasure of the board?
30:43Okay, I get a motion to approve.
30:44Um Commissioner Meyer signed Commissioner Cameron Cepeda.
30:48Um Commissioner Miller, did you want to make a comment?
30:57I was gonna approve.
31:00Just commissioner cohen.
31:01I have a quick question for staff.
31:03Um, is there gonna be a marker?
31:07Is that part of this?
31:09The the um the church and cemetery have also um gone through the historic marker program to and they have been approved for a marker as well.
31:22Okay, we have a motion and a second.
31:23Please record your vote.
31:26Yes, motion carried seven and zero.
31:32The next item related items G1A and G1B.
31:35Uh, G1A is rezoning standard 26 dash year one two four.
31:39Uh the app the the request is for uh rezoning of the 1620 uh plus or minus acre parcel uh from plan development to agricultural mining.
31:50Uh the related staff is recommending approval.
31:54Uh the PD is approved for mining activities and and basically uh agricultural mining uh it's consistent with the surrounding development pattern.
32:01So staff is recommending approval, uh planning mission found consistent with the plan, and the hearing officer also recommended approval and we'll build for any questions.
32:14Good morning, Cammy Corbett with the law firm of Hill Ward and Henderson.
32:16I'm representing Tampa Electric in this application this morning.
32:20They are planning to lease about 500 acres, but it must be uplands uh from Mosaic, who's the owner of the property, and this property is in a PD.
32:30There's not really any reason that the reason for the PD so it really doesn't relate to the agricultural mining zoning district, so we thought it was appropriate to take it out and just make it consistent with the future land use category and standard zoning district, and the related item is just a PRS to remove it from the PD.
32:45And I'm here to answer any questions if you have any.
32:48All right, thank you.
32:49Any proponent testimony?
32:51Anyone in opposition?
32:54Planning commission.
32:56The subject property is located within the act of the case.
33:02I am still coming, so I'm not sure.
33:05You have to come down to the microphone, ma'am.
33:14Hi, good morning, Commissioners.
33:16I'm so sorry, this is the first time I've come, so I'm kind of ignorant on how it works.
33:24Jones, uh, apologize.
33:26Um did you receive a notice, a mail notice of this uh rezoning?
33:40Miss Kaney said that they were just doing 500 acres.
33:42Ma'am, this is a notice for the minor modification application.
33:47And then there's more, right?
33:48It doesn't it all coincide with same thing, you're right.
33:57I just was trying to get some clarification, which is why my mom and I came here today on the 1600 acres and what because it doesn't really tell us what's going on.
34:06And Miss Cami just said that it was 500 acres proposed for solar, I believe, correct?
34:12So I guess our concern is our property line and our right-of-way butt up to all of that land in Mosaic.
34:19So we were concerned about the wildlife and all the things coming onto our property and the three other people that own property that butt up to that acreage.
34:27So I think we just came really for clarification on how much is going to be developed back there.
34:33We had a hard time getting our property rezoned, and now all of us, you know, this is getting rezoned.
34:38So I really just came for the clarification on how many acres is going to be solar panels, and what was the plan moving forward after the 500 acres since we live there.
34:48So we were just when you're finished wildlife.
34:54And we have wetlands that run through us, so I think that's why you know we've dealt with swift mud and stuff.
35:00So I just really wanted to get some clarification on you know the what the what the plan is because we live there.
35:13The applicant has opportunity to rebuttal and please address her questions.
35:19The uh the entire property, the entire folio is the 1600 acres.
35:24It does have some wetlands in it.
35:26Um our lease specifically with mosaics says that we will be leasing 500 acres of upland, so the solar will be on the upland.
35:34But again, the clarification is there's agricultural mining uses, interim agricultural mining uses that are allowed in the PD today.
35:41Because we're doing solar, that would be a new agricultural mining use.
35:45So that's why we're just changing it from the PD and putting it into the agricultural mining standard zoning district.
35:51So any use that's allowed in that district that will requires a conditional use like a solar farm has to go through another approval process at the time of development.
36:00And so more details would come at that time.
36:03Uh but for purposes of this rezoning, um, we are asking for the standard rezoning district for all of the property, and TICA will be leasing 500 upland acres of that property.
36:15And then I would just ask if the citizen has any additional questions if you would speak to her afterwards.
36:22Okay, planning commission.
36:25The subject property is located within the agricultural mining one to 20 future land use category.
36:30The site is in the rural area, and the subject property is not located within the limits of a community plan.
36:36The agricultural mining future land use category is a rural land use category and is intended for long-term agricultural character, agricultural and mining productivity or other rural uses.
36:48The site is also surrounded on all sides by the agricultural mining one to 20 future land use category, further supporting the compatibility of the agricultural mining zoning being requested.
36:58Surrounding the site to the northwest and east, there is more agricultural land with vacant land to the north and west.
37:05To the south of the site, there are multiple parcels of county-owned public/slash quasi public land.
37:11To the west, there is a mining use that is owned by a mosaic, and to the east is also mining owned by a different owner, as well as a public communications tower.
37:19I'm sorry, public communications and utility parcel owned by Tampa Electric.
37:24Mining is already an established and prominent land use in the immediate area with mining uses existing to the west and east of the site.
37:30The presence of these already existing mining activities demonstrate that this use is accepted and compatible use with the this port within this portion of the county.
37:40Within the environmental and sustainability section and the one water chapter of the comprehensive plan, there are policies that relate to the subject site regard regarding the significant wildlife habitat, surface water resource protection area, and the wellhead resource protection area that is present on the site.
37:56All of that policy direction is outlined in the staff report that is part of the backup collectively emphasize that any proposed development on the subject site must demonstrate full compliance with these policies.
38:06A full compliance review will occur at the site development stage and will be monitored by Hillsborough County staff and other regulatory agencies.
38:14Based upon those considerations, planning commission staff finds the proposed rezoning consistent with the unincorporated Hillsborough County comprehensive plan.
38:48The request is to rezone from PD and AM to AM agricultural mining.
38:55Tico is the applicant, and they are pursuing the feasibility of establishing an approximately 500-acre solar farm on the parcel.
39:05The solar farm structures would be located on the parcels uplands.
39:09Development services has found the rezoning request approvable.
39:13The zoning hearing master noted that the surrounding area is comprised of an old phosphate mine, agricultural lands, environmental lands, and rural residential land uses.
39:22A companion PRS, minor modification to plan development has been filed to amend the underlying PD zoning to account for the proposed carve out of the 1,620 acres from the 4,000 acre plan development.
39:39The zoning hearing master found that the proposed rezoning, including the proposed solar farm, would be compatible with the surrounding land uses and the zoning hearing master recommended approval.
39:53Okay, we'll uh defer the vote until after the PRS.
39:57Um the applicant need to introduce this item.
40:01Real quick, yes, the next item is G1B, PRS 26-0299.
