Tampa leaders kill Hillsborough River development that threatened wetland
81% Informative
Tampa City Council votes 5 -2 to deny multi-use housing on land zoned for single-family homes.
Decision kills a ruling made in August that would have allowed developers to fill in a 5,000-square-foot wetland.
Residents cheered and hugged after hearing the final vote cast.
The lengthy hearing stirred a larger conversation among city leaders about how Tampa should approach future building.
Neighbors showed council images of neighborhood buildings flooded by Hurricane Milton’s near-record rainfall.
They argued more concrete and stucco would lead to floodwaters washing out nearby homes, including the proposed townhomes.
Council 's decision flies in the face of recommendations made by city staff and the planning commission.
