Architectural Review Commission - 11/04/26

The City of Tampa Architectural Review Commission met on November 4, 2026, and considered one application concerning 207 East Ross Avenue in the Tampa Heights Historic District. The owner sought a variance to add a second floor to an existing accessory structure for an approved extended-family residence for aging parents. The Commission discussed the structure’s existing setback conditions, the property’s site constraints, and the proposed design and historic-district guidelines. The variance was granted unanimously, as depicted in the presented site plan, including a one-foot encroachment for eaves and gutters.

The Commission also unanimously granted a Certificate of Appropriateness for the addition, with the applicant to work with staff on the mechanical-unit placement and details for scoring the walkway. The project includes no identified contract award, vendor selection, budget allocation, or other procurement activity.
