Developer's Rule In Hillsborough County

"The decision to change the future use of an underwater parcel located in a high-hazard area simply boggles the mind. Clearly, the Planning Commission isn’t taking the threat of sea-level rise seriously. That area is plagued by serious flooding now." Kent Bailey, chairman of the Sierra Club’s Tampa Bay Group.

The Tampa City Council will consider the Planning Commission’s recommendation when it makes a decision on the project. Speaking at the Monday meeting, a Tampa representative said the city’s own planning staff objects to the proposal for eliminating open space, damaging the park and bringing more residents to a high-hazard flood zone.
