TAMPA CITY COUNCIL MEETING
WHEN: Thursday October 14th @ 9am
WHERE: Tampa City Council Chambers, City Hall
315 E. Kennedy Blvd, Third Floor
Tampa, Florida 33602
WHY: The city is proposing an amendment to the city zoning ordinance and special permitting requirements. At this time based on the zoning of the vacant lot in use as a Community Garden in Seminole Heights, the property owner would be required to pay $1250+ in special permitting fees to the City of Tampa. This lot has been donated to the garden temporarily and this fee places an undue burden on the citizens that utilize the space to feed their families.
CARPOOL: Contact Patricia Murphy
PARKING: Fort Brooke has approximately 600 spaces dedicated for hourly parking. This facility is located between Florida/Franklin and Washington/Cumberland. Entrance to the hourly side is off Whiting Street (the north module). The daily parking rates range from $1.60 per hour with a maximum of $9.50 per day.
The Jackson Street Lot has 130 spaces and is located between Florida/Marion and Jackson/Kennedy. Entrances are on both Jackson and Kennedy. The daily parking rates range from $1.60 per hour with a maximum of $9.50 per day.
