City announces Form-Based Wrap-Up Meeting Dates
Seminole Heights Vision Plan
From the City of Tampa Land Development Office: The next Greater Seminole Heights Plan project meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 & Wednesday, November 18, 2009 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at the Ragan Park Community Center, 1200 East Lake Avenue. Please note that both meetings are “Wrap-Up” sessions which will focus on overall development standards.
The meeting held Wednesday, November 4 was very informative and provided a glimpse of what the future could hold for Seminole Heights. Renderings of the ideas provided by the attendees of the last hands-on workshop to develop or redevelop 4 parcels of commercial real estate along both Nebraska and Florida Avs were presented. The city staff modified the ideas to fit into ‘real world’ situations and the outcome is very promising. More discussion is needed to further define the guidelines necessary to provide workable solutions to address the concerns of providing residential serving businesses along the commercial corridors within Seminole Heights.
