Dreams of home ownership coming true in Tampa thru combined affordable housing initiatives! ♥️Today, we closed another new home in Sulphur Springs. The buyers got $104,800 in a combination of subsidies making this possible for them and their children. Special thanks to Solita's House Inc and its team, City of Tampa and the staff of the Department of Housing and Community Development and Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh for their help and support of making this happen. Funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank are part of a grant RTTB secured through member bank TD Bank #makinghomeownershippossible #AffordableHousing

TA/CPA 21-11 Virtual Public Stakeholder Meeting
On Tuesday, May 25 at 6 pm, Planning Commission staff will hold a Virtual Public Stakeholder Meeting to gather input from interested parties on the proposed plan amendment to the Future Land Use Category Matrix, TA/CPA 21-11, submitted by the City of Tampa.
You may also submit a public comment through the online submission form on the project page.
The adopted Imagine 2040: Tampa Comprehensive Plan allows developers to utilize Floor Area Ratio (FAR) or dwelling units per acre for residential development in several Future Land Use (FLU) categories. TA/CPA 21-11 proposes removing the ability to utilize FAR for single-use residential development in the Community Mixed Use-35 (CMU-35), Community Commercial-35 (CC-35), and Urban Mixed Use-60 (UMU-60) FLU categories. Tampa City Council has initiated this policy change to better plan for areas of growth and mitigate the impacts of single-use multi-family residential developments. The amendment as submitted through Resolution No. 2021-273, which was passed by Tampa City Council, applies to the CMU-35, CC-35, and UMU-60 FLU designations Citywide.

Very interesting. The pre k program was shut down for 3 weeks because a child had Covid and when we returned the crossing guard was taken away because she had a zero count of walker’s passing during the time when she was told to count the walkers. I had to make numerous phone calls to get a crossing guard back since my 5 grandchildren go there. They have removed the crossing guard at Highland and Osborne also. This is a great concern because we all know what can happen at this intersection. I was told she was removed also because she never has a child crossing there with the exception of two young boys crossing every once in a while. Also the speeding on Osborne is happening even while the school flashers are on. Please let neighbors know that it could be that one morning these two little ones are crossing and be careful while going through Highland and Osborne. There lives matter also.
