# Tampa City Council PM - 10/08/26

Tampa City Council’s evening meeting on October 8, 2026, focused primarily on zoning and site-plan hearings. Council approved several rezoning requests on first reading, including a multifamily project at 6005 Waters Court (about 330 units), commercial and pharmacy-related proposals, a Dutch Bros drive-through at 21101 West Hillsborough Avenue subject to added buffering and access conditions, and adaptive reuse of a historic Ybor City warehouse for a retail showroom. Council denied the proposed Swig drive-through at 2202 West Kennedy Boulevard and denied the Culver’s proposal at 202 South Dale Mabry Highway, citing neighborhood compatibility, traffic, access, and waiver concerns. A $75,000 CRA appropriation for renovations at the North 22nd Street pharmacy site was mentioned as prior funding, not as a spending action taken at this meeting. Item 11 was continued to January 14, 2027, and item 12 was removed from the agenda.

In new business, council directed staff to coordinate with Hillsborough County on a proposed micromobility ordinance and report back January 21, 2027; moved two noise-related workshop items to January 28, 2027, so a consultant could attend; and approved other motions involving draft debt/CIT ordinance language and an invitation for the mayor to discuss charter recommendations. No contract awards, bid approvals, vendor selections, or purchasing decisions were identified.
