Architectural Review Commission 5-4-26

The City of Tampa Architectural Review Commission meeting on May 4, 2026, focused primarily on historic preservation and new construction projects within local historic districts. Key procurement-related discussions included a tax exemption application for the rehabilitation of a historic property at 2708 North 18th Street, where the commission recommended approval of the part one application consistent with Secretary of the Interior standards. The project involves restoration work including window replacement, siding, and interior features. Another significant agenda item was the review and approval of a certificate of appropriateness for new construction of a single-family residence and accessory structure at 2806 North Morgan Street in the Tampa Heights Historic District. The commission discussed design details, materials such as brick pavers and Hardy siding, and conditions related to setbacks, lighting, gutters, and window placement. The commission voted to grant the certificate of appropriateness with conditions requiring the applicant to refine plans and provide additional details to staff. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were mentioned, but the meeting involved decisions that will guide future procurement and construction activities related to historic preservation and new development in the city.
