City of Tampa Rezone to PD or SH-RM

[Christopher Holt]

Does anyone know how hard it is to get a rezoning from SH-RS single family to SH-RM multifam or a PD that allows more occupants per unit? I see a bunch of small 1 or 2 parcel PDs scattered around Seminole heights. Am I wasting my time looking into this or is it possible to rezone? 

Purpose is for a high end coliving project. It’ll help with the lack of affordable housing so maybe the city would play ball?

Christopher,

Just go to Tampa. gov and fill out a rezoning application and list your proposed improvements in detail. Follow "All" of the steps on the form and the website which they list and map out in detail. You can also call and talk to one of the planners or get an inspector on the phone - might take a few attempts. I have had several offices in Tampa but now in Pinellas and these get submitted and approved every day.
