all property owners within 250' of the subject property and the participating organizations. Please note that you must provide the dated

map from the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser's office or print out the information from their website.

Please see the summary sheet, which is part of the application and which must be signed by the applicant or agent. A copy will be

provided to you for assistance in completing the notice requirements correctly.

The determination for the Design Exception 2 is due no less than 15 business days from the date of the submittal of the affidavit of

compliance and the certificate of mail.

VI . ZONING ADMINISTRATOR DETERMINATION

The zoning administrator shall apply the following criteria when reviewing the application. These are the criteria

that need to be addressed in Exhibit B of the application.

The standard yard (setback) requirements are spelled out in Section 27-156(c), Table 4-2. The reductions allowed

administratively are determined by the Planning District the property is located in, per the adopted City of Tampa

Comprehensive Plan. Staff can assist you in determining which Planning District applies to your property.

New Tampa, South Tampa and Westshore are limited to a 10 percent reduction in the front, corner and rear yards and a one

foot reduction in the side yards. The maximum increase in the building height is 10 percent.

University and Central Tampa are limited to a 25 percent reduction in the front, rear and corner yards and a one foot reduction

in the side yards. The maximum increase in the building height is 10 percent.

Please note that these are not automatic; you must still show compliance with the criteria listed below:

a. That the exception neither interferes with the rights of others as provided in this chapter, nor is injurious to the public

health, safety or general welfare; and

b. That the exception provides a reasonable allowance of use under the specified circumstances of each application; and

c. That the exception achieves the general intent of this chapter and the Tampa Comprehensive Plan; and

d. That the exception is the minimum possible exception under specific circumstances; and

e. The approval of the exception of standards includes conditions of approval as necessary to ensure that the adjustment

granted does not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the

vicinity and within the same zoning district; and

f. The exception is consistent with any applicable specific plans in place for the subject property; and

g. That a Design Exception-2 request clearly demonstrates that the exception is warranted due to unique circumstances

of the property, such as:

i. Location of existing protected or grand trees;

ii. Location of existing buildings or structures;

iii. Existing property elevations (grades); or

iv. Other unique, existing physical conditions of the property (above or below grade) that are otherwise

protected from or limited for alteration, due to other applicable development regulations.

An approval of an alternative design exception 2 shall be valid for one year, during which the property

owner must begin the associated development/construction work. If no development/construction

activity occurs on the land related to the approved exception within the one year period, the approval

shall expire.

covenants.
