Next to E.G. Simmons Park at the end of 19th Av. in Ruskin, developers want to change the zoning to get 5 times more housing than their current zoning allows, to go from 1 house per 5 acres to 1 house per 1 acre on 170 acres.
Of the site’s 170 acres, only 29 are uplands while 141 acres are wetlands — mostly underwater!
You have to see the aerial photos to appreciate the insanity of adding residential housing density to these submerged lands and mangroves growing knee-deep in Tampa Bay.
