City Council - Regular Meeting

Tuesday, August 18, 2026

The City Council held a de novo review hearing regarding a property at 3743 North 15th Street, FDN 26-65, to determine the legal status of its non-conforming commercial use in a residential zone. The discussion centered on whether the property's evolution from a grocery store to a sandwich shop maintained its non-conforming status without proper permits.

Okay, I think we are going to record the session. Then, we are ready. Greetings to everyone.

0:10Speaker 2

We are here at FDN 2665, which is a property in Tampa, Florida, on 15th Street, 3743 North 15th Street. Can you please come in? Kamari Pettis, M.L., Assistant CET Attorney in Tampa.

1:01 – 1:19Speaker 2

Today, I am going to tell you the truth because I am raising my right hand in front of you. You are telling the whole truth without telling anything else. Yes. Okay. Oh, Abhibashagan Pettis Makal, if you can start with the introduction of the history of Nadabadikrama.

1:20 – 2:57Speaker 4

We are here on the matter of FDN 26-65 of the property that is located on Mr. Shroke and 3743 North 15th Street. We are here on the matter of FDN 26-65 of the property that is located on Mr. Shroke and 3743 North 15th Street. We are here on the matter of FDN 26-65 of the property that is located on Mr. Shroke and 3743 North 15th Street. This hearing is being conducted from Code Section 27 to 61, especially from Code Section 27 to 61 to Subsection J, Subsection 1, Subsection A. This is a de novo review hearing. Therefore, hearing officer, you can receive new evidence on this matter during this hearing. And I will ask Mr. Cotton about it. Oh, we have an announcement to make for you. If I can, call Mr. Eric Cotton, the first witness in the city. Yes, please continue. I am going to share my screen. Okay. Can you see the screen, Mr. Shah?

2:57 – 8:55Speaker 2

Yes, I can. Again, Suprabadham, in the city of Tamba. And again, in the property on North 15th Street, 3743, for FDN 26-65. And... I don't agree, but again this is a property zoned single-family residential single-family 50 rupees. After accepting the actual zoning code in 1956, this has been zoned single-family. This is located in East Tamba Overlay district, Bhuvinayogam R-10 in Vavi. The actual ownership of the property was to ensure the non-conforming status of a sandwich shop in Nilavu. There is a zoning map on the screen. The properties are highlighted in green. That is the location of the property. To the north, all around is a zoned residential single family. That is Vanijamegal. Only one photo. I believe that it is on Google Earth to see how the building is going to look today. Only two documents I am going to read. I will collect them one by one. First, a non-conformity is the definition of conformity. This was not a form of conformity before, but now it is not under the Code of Conduct. A restaurant is a establishment. Its main business is to sell and to buy food. It is not on-site, it is for use. The definition of conformity is a fixed function in which the number of customers has increased from 27,156 to 4 to 1. The change in the continued use is a change that has not been legally established through a permitting process by the city or the public. Then again it is not permissible. When it is established that the part shown in bold is not permissible, it should be in accordance with the zoning requirements that were in accordance with the law. However, it is not allowed to be regulated or regulated by the procedures that are being carried out. Before changing the code, there is a win-proof argument to prove that the non-executive was present in the state. That is, the non-executive is the non-executive and then the non-executive is the non-executive by accepting the new code. Therefore, the code we are operating was accepted in 1984. The previous code was accepted in 1956. And the general intention is non-executive. The purpose of the code is to continue there itself. It cannot be developed. It must not exist in the future. Um, right, let's take that part. Therefore, this is a non-executive use. Therefore, the section is a non-executive use of the main factors or factors and conditions. The non-executive use below the code can continue in the same way as it was in the non-executive state when it was in the non-executive state. Um, anurubam alaatha ubiyogam valudhaakaano, theevram aakaano, maataano kaazhiyilla. Appol, ee sahajiriyathil, abekshagan nilavil ullathil ninna, non-residential ubiyogathil ninna, ori kudumba veedilayka ubiyogam maatiyaal, avar anurubam alaatha ubiyogathil ninna, anurubam alaatha ubiyogathilayku maarum. Um, aarenkilum anurubam alaatha statusinna abekshikumpool nagaram ubiyogikunna uravidangalil unnaana PULK Directory. At the end of the 1800s, this was a cross-reference directory that started in Tampa. And the first example was the Garcia Grocery in 1958. As you may know from different names, an estate is the use of a grocery store. Later, in 1992, it moved from a food center to a sandwich shop and then to an underground to-go establishment. Unusual use found by staff. It was the same shop in Palacharakku. When a sandwich shop from Palacharakku turned into its own, that use was gone. There were no permits found from the beginning of the 90s to the age of 199. It was an illegal sandwich shop. Therefore, We found that the use is not limited. According to the city's statistics, this is only a legal use. There is only one conflict between the property and the real estate. The property appraiser's report was signed in 1949. I think it was the first bulk directory from 1949 or 1958 to 1986. In 1992, it was a grocery store. The police moved from a grocery store to a sandwich shop. The reason for residential zoning is that it does not have a history of permits. A sandwich shop was not allowed in 50 rupees zoning district. You can't change our code. You can't change the code from a useless use to another. The code does not eliminate that problem. As I said earlier, the goal is to make a change that will make a change that will make a change that will make a change that will make a change. Then, Magistrate, if you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them. I don't have any questions. Thank you. I have some questions, and I have some questions related to the record and Mr. Cotton.

8:55Speaker 3

If I can answer them. Certainly.

9:06 – 9:17Speaker 4

And when Mr. Cotton went from Code Section 27 to 297, you testified that this is the Code Section that regulates this process for non-existent uses. That's right. Yes, Madam. Then, it was like using the property that was used, and it was a sandwich shop, and it was your testimony.

9:33Speaker 3

This is the final use that you know about the last known use. Correct.

9:36 – 9:59Speaker 4

Then, if the property established on 23,743 North 15th Street should actually be non-conforming, then the same possible use used in reality should continue. That's right. If you want to be non-conforming... That's right.

9:59 – 10:38Speaker 2

According to our rules, the actual use was the use of a grocery store. If you don't use it yourself, it is still considered non-conforming and it was when you came to the sandwich shop. But now, the last legal use of the item that we can find is the grocery store. When you came close to the optional decision, it was expected, is your testimony, because when the Non-Conforming Establish Non-Conforming Establish Non-Conforming Establish Non-Conforming status was established, it was not used correctly as it was in the situation. Correct. Correct. Correct.

10:43 – 10:56Speaker 4

Then, in the words of the common man, as I said to the investigator, the investigator and the zoning administrator, who was not aware of the existence of the property, changed your decision. That is, if the use is still a grocery store, is it correct? Yes, it will still be a non-existent use.

11:12 – 12:29Speaker 2

Now, you have released the agents, and are you sure that the place for release is the right one? Now, you have released the agents, and are you sure that the place for release is the right one? Now, you have released the agents, and are you sure that the place for release is the right one? Mr. Shrokin will explain the difference between use and change. So, use and change is included in our code. This is what is included in Article 27. It is a more or less optional procedure. In this scenario, let's go through the process of allowing a sandwich shop to be reused. Anumadhi prakriyagal nadakunnu nda. Adukkala hudukal ku vendi ulla anumadhi prakriyagal avalokanam cheyapedunnu. Parkinginai idha avalokanam cheyapedunnu. Ellatharam kaaringalkum avalokanam cheyapedunnu.

12:33 – 15:37Speaker 4

Therefore, you will agree that this is not a change in use, based on the 27th article of the zoning code. This is not a change in use. Okay. Okay. This is not a change in use according to the constitution. This is just a change in use. This is just a change in use. This is just a change in use and I would like to ask more questions about it. This is just a change in use and I would like to ask more questions about it. This is just a change in use and I would like to ask more questions about it. This is just a change in use and I would like to ask more questions about it. This is just a change in use and I would like to ask more questions about it. This is just a change in use and I would like to ask more questions about it. I am sorry to ask, according to the code from 27 to 293, the purpose of the code for the city of Rambha is to stop the legal use of non-conformities that are not permissible. Okay, okay. Therefore, in the announcement of Harjikaran's Pune Parishodana hearing, it was said that it was a retail sale facility. Can you explain the difference between the two? This is not a restaurant, but a retail facility. Can you agree with that statement? Yes. So, the use of the entire property is retail. The utility of the retail facility is a great advantage. It includes a convenience store like Circle K or 7-Eleven. It includes a smoothie king. It includes a regiment restaurant. But they are all general divisions. But when you say a restaurant is more than 27 restaurants in the majority, You are talking about this special item on 3743 North 15th Street. Shady! Shady! Now, when you say that this is used more as a restaurant, do you know that when some people think about a restaurant, they think that they are going to sit in a restaurant with tables and chairs. There is a server that comes to deliver food in a manner. Can you give an example of what the code is? What is the code of a restaurant? You have given it in slide F5 of slide 3. Please forgive me. This is a restaurant. Its main business is selling and selling food. Can you explain how this works?

15:49 – 16:22Speaker 2

Okay, so the sandwich shop is selling food for free. And the two good examples of that would be Smoothie King instead of using business names. In our code, we have made it a restaurant. Smoothie Kings is a great takeout. Even in the next stage, it's like a check-in. I don't know if Sony still has it. But like Sony, you don't get a seat in any of those places. But they are counted as a restaurant. They prepare food. They order food for you. You eat in your car or you go. So the places you gave examples are counted as restaurants.

16:22 – 17:15Speaker 4

But they are in the large section of retail, sales, and luxury goods. Right. That's right. Right. FDM. I have not given any proof of the permit for the construction of Harjikaran on 3743 North 15th Street as a residential area. Okay. That's right. Okay. Now, I think your decision has been made by the Property Appraiser Office as a restaurant. What is the importance of that?

17:15 – 17:31Speaker 2

The property appraisers who use Nilevel on the site make sure that the property appraiser has a permanent residence. As far as property appraisers are concerned, they have made use of it as a restaurant. Is that a burden? Does it affect any of your decisions?

17:39 – 18:12Speaker 4

The reason for the cancellation is because of that. That is the decision made by the property appraiser when deciding what the cancellation location of that site would be. And according to your understanding of the details given by the FBN process and the application process and the details given by the applicant, Um, property was used as a seafood center, then as a frozen food center, and then as a sandwich shop. Okay. Okay. They gave you the evidence. It didn't show that it was used in the same way. Okay. Okay.

18:15Speaker 3

According to 27 to 297, it is a fact that there are no infections. Okay.

18:32 – 18:43Speaker 4

It should be exactly the same. Okay. Um, I don't have any more questions now, Mr. Trump. I'll be out of the conference.

18:44 – 27:03Speaker 2

Thank you, Mr. Dion. Do you have any questions about Mr. Cotton? Cross-examination. Yes. Thank you. Superb. Rayan Dion. Recorded. Then, you have reviewed this document. Therefore, I am not going to rebuild the document. Do you agree to submit your letter on June 3, 2022, on March 26? Do you agree to submit your letter on June 3, 2022, on March 26, 2022, on June 3, 2022? Do you agree to submit your letter on June 3, 2022, on March 26, 2022, on June 3, 2022? It was a product of a sandwich shop. It was a special product in the form of a knife. Since a sandwich shop is not legally established, I have to test my knife to find out whether the product is correct or not. Sandwich shop or property or retail sales convenience goods vibhagatil parikanikannam enna abhekshayil paranyitundengilum aadhu sheri aano? Enikku sathya sandamayi aa chodithinna utharam nalgaan kazhi illa. Ende pakkal abhekshayude uru pagarp illa. Nyan kshama chodikunnu. Ende binderil idhundu. Aadhu. Vaach aana. This is a description written in the application. But I don't remember what it was in the actual application submitted by a seller. Okay, yes, I think so. That's it. But I understood what you were saying. Yes, when making an announcement, there was an announcement that the retail sales committee space should be counted as 1, 2, 3, 3, etc., and a recognition has been issued for that. Okay, thank you. Yes, I understood where you are when you wrote it in your dictionary. In your testimony, you say retail sales convenience goods. This is not a part of the city that is used. No, I didn't say that. Then, what I said is more commonplace. If you go down further, there are other uses listed there. It will be below the other uses of the usage box. In the usage box, restaurants are a special use of the usage box itself. Retail sales communities have been listed. Yes, they have been listed there. So, it is a use that we can use. So, I would like to request you today for the use of retail sales communities in the city. It is a use in the use case. Yes, you can do it according to zoning. Okay. It will be a use that makes some of the demands I need to the ground level and makes the city to approve and approve. I think that demand is being provided for free. Is that right? Has this been implemented? I don't know if I would call it a humiliation, but it has been implemented. Do you have a problem with reading what the implementation of retail sales means? The shops that are closed, the smoke shops, the new stands, the bakeries, the mid-eyes, the mid-eyes, the delicatessen, the meat, the grocery stores, the food stalls below 10000 square feet, the food and water facilities, etc. are not limited to them, but the needs of a residential area, the usual facilities that fulfill the needs of a residential area. What has been specially avoided from this class room is the small sales of the middle class. Do you believe that my client's property on 3743 North 15th Street will be included in their retail sales convenience goods? Yes, it will be. Therefore, if they request today, for example, we are going to establish this as a retail sales committee to enter a new establishment. That property is a retail sales property and can be considered as a non-existent use in the sense that it is a zoning district according to the zoning standard. In that case, the question is, will it be included in that section if the building is not in the zone? There is nothing else. Yes, in the sense of a sandwich shop, it will be included in that section. We continue to demand that it be a non-profit in that section. Because that is the nature of the establishment. That's right. You can ask that. That's what you asked. If you need it, if you want to make a decision, you will need that document for investigation. Right? But you still have to have evidence to prove that it is legally established. Right. What was legally established and what was shown? In 1992, the permits were all electronic. Then, if anyone requested a permit, it would not be in our rules. Is it logical to say that there is no regular rule because there is no need for explicit use change? I don't know if it's the right thing to do or not. I understood what you were asking. But again, I didn't know what was in the other grocery store. I don't know what is required to move from a grocery store to a restaurant. I don't know the answer to that. In 1971, that place was listed as the Jeans Frozen Food Center. At that time, sandwiches were sold from the shop. Since then, they have been selling sandwiches from the shop. When I went to testify to my client, if it is true, will there be a need for a change? Then in 1971, you said the same thing. It was selling sandwiches as food. That's right. I can't tell you what happened when that use was established. I can't answer what happened in 1971. But if there was evidence that it was selling animal products, it would have been a continuous use at that time. Do you know when the shop was established in Palachara according to the details submitted as part of the actual application page? When the details were submitted, it was 1958. What proof do you have to make that decision? It was Alphan's contribution to the details of the PL Directory. What is the PL Directory? It is a cross-reference directory for the city from the end of the 1800s. Is the pool directory using pool directories? When the company goes there and looks at what is there, it represents a historical use on the PULK directory site. This is the proof that people use it to show their flaws. At that time, is it said what is used in the property or is it called Garcia Grocery in the name of the company? Therefore, it does not say what the actual use of the property is. But only the correct name for it is said.

27:04 – 27:15Speaker 1

The name of the use. It may not reflect the actual use. Is there a possibility that the name and usage may differ in any way?

27:15 – 27:49Speaker 2

I can't answer that. I can't answer that. I don't know what kind of information they will provide for the P-Director. Garcia Grocery sold sandwiches. One question. In 1958, would it be of any use? Yes. It was a non-existent use. In 1958, zoning was still residential. If Garcia Grocery Sandwiches were sold in 1958, it would be counted as part of its agricultural use. If it had been established, yes, it would have been established. I don't know.

27:50 – 34:52Speaker 2

In 1958, it was counted as an agricultural use. Again, I cannot answer that question because you have to go through the optional decision process to prove that it is not in today's code. I do not know whether to answer the question or not. So I will say no. In this case, are there opportunities for many shops to sell sandwiches? I assume that the question will be the same. For that, the first use was the 1958 Garcia Grocery, which was listed in the P-Directory. It was the information we were given. You are doing this by making a bad directory of Madhra Raj as a base and making it a base for the use to be transferred to a sandwich shop. Okay. I am saying this in the basis of the information given to the city. What is that? The name of the institution, the place of use, or the change of the use is the same. The place of use. These youths who do not show a legitimate demonstration are often not allowed. I was not answering your question. At that time, it was not legally accepted. Is that true? We did not conduct an investigation for it. This is the end of our need for evidence. Garcia Grocery was established in 1958. I do not know if it is related to you. And it continued like that until 1986. Then, between 1986 and 1992, the use of the sandwich shop changed from a frozen food centre to a sandwich shop. In 1986 and 1992, the city says that the non-existent use of the sandwich shop was established as non-existent. We don't think that's possible. In 1992, for the first time, the sandwich shop was in that property. What was the use of that property in 1971? As far as you are concerned, it was a frozen food center. Then, which food center? I imagine it was a grocery store. I don't know. Then, what do you not know? No, I can only examine what is listed here. I think a frozen food center is a grocery store that mainly sells frozen food. I think they can make frozen food center sandwiches. They are creating a new use of the name change. For you to operate as a sandwich shop, should there be a use as a restaurant? I don't know the answer to that question, because it goes into the details of things. I don't know what is needed for the code of marriage. According to the chart, you can choose from four to one, depending on the specific uses and accessory uses. How many different uses do you want to request based on this chart? If you are requesting for a service, you can only request for one. Are you requesting for more than one? You must request for each service that is available on your special site. How does it work? Therefore, your zoning will be selected and any of those services will be available in the zoning department. Only a single family of 50 rupees is allowed. CGs have more services. When you request for anything, you do not request for that service to the zoning office. Since the service is established through the permit you receive, you request for the permit to the bank. For example, let's say someone comes and uses a supermarket. I don't know if someone comes and asks for a building permit for a grocery store, a bakery, a deli, a grocery store, or just a building permit for supermarkets. I don't know the answer to that. Okay. However, some of the most affordable products are used in the range from 4 to 1. Yes, sir. Do you want to use it as a restaurant? Do you want to sell it? Do you want to sell sandwiches? Again, I don't know the question. I said, I want to use it as a restaurant. I don't know the answer to that. Do you know about the property? Do you have indoor seating in the house? No, I don't have it. It's not bad. The code hasn't been changed. Do you know when the current of the power supply has changed? I don't know the answer to that question. Do you know when the usage has increased? No, no one knows. Questions

35:12 – 35:46Speaker 4

May I ask you a few more questions? Yes, Mr. Sher. Yes. Mr. Kottan, I want to go back. I think it is important to go back to the record to explain to the hearing officer what non-informity is. Can you go back to the slide 2743, slide 5, Non-Informaticals? Can you review it? Can you explain it again as a record? Yes. Um, I will first read the text. Then I will say it in simple English.

35:59 – 37:05Speaker 2

The use of the property that is not allowed in the schedule of permissible uses or the area that was legal at the time of establishment, the use of the property that is not included in the schedule of the bulk, placement machines or other facilities in this area, or the use of the property that was established through a commercial decision. Therefore, If the town of Tamba is established as the base for the zoning of our town in 1956, or if an use has been established before 1956, No matter which zoning is given to that object, the use of that object will continue there. This does not depend on the use of the object from 4 to 1. Therefore, If we get a lot of things for duplexes, duplexes are not allowed in single-family zoning districts. But if a duplex has been established in 1948 and has been in use since 1948, and if you can show it through an operational decision, even if it is a single-family zoning, the duplex can be used there itself.

37:05 – 38:26Speaker 4

Therefore, the main part of the population of the affected areas must be established legally at that time. Sherry, Sherry, Sherry. Sherry, Sherry, um. A property can be in use from 1955 onwards. Since the use was a grocery store, you must be able to pass through it. For example, it was a grocery store. From 1955 to 1986, the owner of the grocery store, under the name of the owner of the grocery store, requested the zoning department for a non-conformity status. At that time, a request or request for the ownership of the grocery store could be made available to you. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Then? Um, I know, we submitted another operational decision. It is the FBN 25-162 issued in October 2025. It was the same property, but it was the first to issue an operational decision on this property. Okay, okay, okay.

38:33 – 38:50Speaker 3

Therefore, we have not conducted a preliminary assessment of the use without the consent of the owner. Right. That's right. Right. Again, you are saying that the employer should first establish that it was created legally.

38:53 – 39:49Speaker 4

So, you are going through a non-conforming process. The optional decision process is different from the zoning-zoning at the time it is legally established. This is in a different zoning arrangement, otherwise it is not allowed. So, when the council needs you, You have decided that it is not non-conforming due to different names and names. It can be changed, but according to Code Section 27-291, which regulates the process without any exceptions, it is the responsibility of the employer to provide all information about the use of the material. Okay.

39:53 – 40:36Speaker 4

You don't have the responsibility to prove anything in this process. Okay, that's right. Then, if you don't agree with the special use of the shopkeeper, If it was clear that Frozen Center sandwiches were sold in the shopkeeper, they had to sell it. Okay, that's right. Okay. If the customer got the details of the seafood sandwich like the sandwich shop in Anoni, the customer had to submit the details. Right. That. It would be right. Right. But you didn't get those details.

40:46 – 41:31Speaker 4

Now, the council requires you to specify that the code section 27-156-4-1 is in the retail sales table dash. He asked you to specify that there is retail sales in that section. Okay. Okay. It is in the section, but this property is not available under this zoning regulation. Okay. Okay. Therefore, this is used in 2, 7, 5, Poojam, 2, 7, 1, 5, 6, Le, Uh, 4, 1, etc. It is not allowed to use in the permanent zoning of Amma. It is Rs. 50. Okay, okay. Therefore, since Amma cannot be used as a sandwich shop on 3743 North 15th Street, they cannot use it.

41:42Speaker 3

Right. That's right.

41:42 – 42:06Speaker 4

Therefore, in this entire process or in this application process without application, they have not shown that this property was legally established in 3743 North 15. Right. They have not shown that. Right. That's right. They have not shown that it was legally established, so it cannot be used without permission.

42:10Speaker 2

That's right. Okay.

42:10Speaker 4

I don't have any more questions. Okay. Thank you.

42:12 – 54:35Speaker 2

Do you have anything else to say about the attorney petition? No. I have a follow-up question, if I can. Certainly. On June 3, 2026, you are submitting our 8th petition. I am going to your address 124. What is written on the basis of the evidence provided is the construction of the property in 1949. In 1956, Property 6-1 was zoned. It was originally a single family zoning district. In 1955, the Directorate approved the use of the property for many people. It seems to be in use until 1986. Is this the correct translation of what you read in the letter? Yes. Then, are you saying that your letter is legally valid in 1955? No. In 1955, as I said, there are people who have turned Pulka Directories into headquarters. There was a shop on this site. The evidence that inspired you to believe that there is a shop dedicated to a Pulka director should be part of your imagination and the pulse directories dedicated to our imagination. This is it. It should be part of the evidence that I could not see being printed from my pocket. But I feel that this is the first year that someone else has received information from the city as a sub-district. Therefore, in your sub-district of Kath, a service was established in 1956, when the R1 zoning district was created. That's right. You say that it is a retail store service, and you say that a retail store service will be included in any service department. Will it be a grocery store? Will it be a real utility department? According to today's code, the convenience goods or shopper goods that are sold at grocery stores will be based on the size of the grocery store. That's why it's called a shopper goods. That's why it's called a shopper goods. That's why it's called a shopper goods. You said that it continued until 1986. What changed in 1986? Between 1986 and 1992, no more evidence was found. Then somewhere between 1986 and 1992, that change occurred. As far as we can understand. Yes, in the context of the evidence. You are saying that it has changed from a plate of food to a sandwich shop. Okay. The name of the pulp directory has changed the context. Okay. There are no more questions. Did you have any more questions regarding the attorney? No, sir. Okay. Now, if the judge can move forward with your statement. Thank you. And I'm going to put this in PowerPoint. And I can tell you which page number I'm going to. It is helpful. And, I am going to start from the second page. And, I am going to start from the second page. And, I am going to start from the second page. And, I am going to start from the second page. And, I am going to start from the second page. And, I am going to start from the second page. And, I am going to start from the second page. And, I am going to start from the second page. Although it is a retail sales convenience goods, I will move on to the next page. What is required for the code? It should be legal when installed and when we reviewed the details of Mr. Cotton on June 3, it can be used in the retail sales community with the use code installed and it can be used in the correct way or stop. and the evidence we presented, and what was in front of us, and the P-Directories. P-Directories are a naming system. They are not an institution of what their uses are. The institution has been allowed to change the name and use without changing the time. After conducting a thorough investigation, I am going to ask my client that since 1971, they have never stopped using illegal goods from their headquarters. And illegal goods are usually used for the sake of a residential area. They are included in it. But they are not the only ones being banned. Drug stores, tobacco shops, newsstands, bakeries, sweets, meat. Uluppanna Vipanigal, Bakshana Shalagal, Bakshana Paniya Stabenagal, etc. These properties are clearly used in that use department. Since 1971, Mike's clients have made this their own. Before that, they used to sell frozen food and sandwiches. In 1971, my client once again testified that their factory had made sandwiches here. And this is a retail establishment that fulfills the needs of the residents of Ayalpaka. And they produce food through such experiments. This is a contract that was signed in 1961. This has never changed since 1949. This has not increased in size, use or size. Um, palacharakku bakshana shalaiyum sandwich shopum Um, adairithiyil stabhika pettit illa, adairithiyil nirvajika pettit illa.

Page 6 Um, bakshana palacharakku kadagalil ninno, sandwich shopil ninno urunirnayaka ubiyoga matam varuthunnu. Again, as my clients have pointed out, there are food stalls and food stalls that sell food, chips, food, drinks, snacks, meat sold on the site, as well as take-away sandwiches, and they have not changed since then. And there has never been an institution of non-profitable use. It has been in use since 1958, but from 1955, it was pre-code UPRI 1, it was residential and zoning district code, and then the shop did not change. Pulp directors do not establish the use of the property. And the frozen food center of Antony Jeans, which was established in 1971, has been renamed Antony Jeans Sandwich Shop, so there is no change in use. It does not state that there has been a change. On the seventh page, the same family has been operating the same property for 55 years, and the family on my right is operating the same property. KALPAD has not changed it. Moreover, they have increased or changed the use and use of it. And they call the packaged foods, water, deli ingredients, bread, cheese, vegetables, pies, and other necessary foods, chips, and other items included in the established use department. And there is no indoor or outdoor seating for people coming in and out of the window. The city is trying to say that the use of a restaurant is equal. Restorants have regular sit-down seating or that is necessary. There is no sit-down seating here. The one below 10 seats and in 1971, when Anthony Jeans Frozen Centre was established, the city did not have to be counted as a restaurant. And in 1971, it became a frozen food center because of the use and development of freezers. It was a little before my time, but when they were able to sell frozen snacks and frozen food and other frozen foods, it was a big deal. But they also sold sandwiches. But they showed that they sold those frozen foods, because it was a selling point at that time. In 1992, a sales point was low. And, as you know, it was very easy to sell deep fried foods and fried foods and sandwiches. Sandwiches were sold from 1971. That's when my client's family took over the business. Slide 9 is the Pulp Director of 1971. It shows the Jeans Frozen Food Center. The next slide is the Pulp Director of 1985. It shows the Frozen Food Center. Then in 1992, it changed to My Sandwich Shop. Um Nagara baagam property retail hai kaanichu. Nagarathin de swantham kodu retail sales gudu vibaagathil ulpaduthunudhine pindunaikinnu.

The city believes that the property has been given to the users who do not have access to a restaurant. If the property is not properly used by a restaurant, i.e. a retail sales and retail sales convenience, it is at the retail side of the institution, this property is used more than it is used for the use of a restaurant. The Code of the City of the Reuse Department, Section 4-1, and Section 27-16 are included. I say that this will continue to be implemented in this way after the applicant has adopted the property. If I can ask a question, I have questions for my client. I am going to ask the last question to Mara Karel.

54:35Speaker 4

Please tell me your name. Mara Koto, right? How long have you lived in Tampa Bay? From 1952.

54:53Speaker 2

Your family lives on 3743 North 15th Street. Since when? Since 1971. What did they do there since 1971?

55:00Speaker 4

What did they do? Yes, what did they sell?

55:03Speaker 2

What? How did they use the utility? When we went there, we sold devil crabs, frozen devil crabs, sandwiches.

55:20 – 55:37Speaker 4

It was like that until 1992. He bought it and decided not to sell frozen double crabs anymore. He changed the name to Jean Anonis and made sandwiches, stuffed potatoes, empanadas, fish sandwiches, etc. It was from 1971, right?

55:37 – 56:04Speaker 2

Then he used frozen foods. In 1992, when he bought it, we used it. Is the place still under your jurisdiction? Yes. What was the reason for Antony Jean's Frozen Food Center to be renamed? Is it because of what you said or is it because they won't sell Frozen anymore? Change that. Change that. Change that. He didn't want it.

56:04 – 56:47Speaker 4

We are not going to sell Frozen Double Crab anymore. Forgive me. Who is Jean? Who is he? My husband. He is under my jurisdiction. What else did they sell in the location? Oh, sweet potato pieces, chips, salt, sweet potatoes. As I said, we had fish sandwiches, steak sandwiches, and Cuban sandwiches. We have always had it. It was a base.

56:53Speaker 2

Did you ever have a seat inside the bed? No. Did you ever have a seat outside the game? We tried once, but we had bathrooms, so we didn't do it.

56:59Speaker 4

How do you remember? They had four chairs outside. But no, more than that. No. Did you ever grow the legs of the bed? No. Have you ever enlarged it? No. Have you ever changed the use of the bed? No.

57:20Speaker 2

Are you planning to use the ticket at any time? No.

57:22Speaker 3

There are no more questions.

57:28Speaker 2

Any cross-examinations?

57:30 – 59:51Speaker 4

Yes, sir. And Kamari Pettis, who is in the court of law in Rambha Nagar. And Ms. Garela. And you testified that your family accepted it on their own. Okay. You were a tenant in 1971. That's right. Then, you were a tenant from 1971 to 1986. Okay. In reality, no. One nine eight. One nine nine two. Okay. In 1992, you bought it yourself. Okay. That's right. That's right. Okay. Then, you don't know about the permits you had when you were a tenant before 1971, right? No. Okay. In 1992, after you bought it yourself, you don't have a permit. Okay. About establishing the property as Jean Anthony Samuelshop. Okay. Nothing. Nothing. Okay. Now I'm asking you about your seat. There are no seats in your restaurant, right? Okay. Um, but your restaurant is closed now, right? Yes. Okay, when was it closed? Oh, it was closed. Was it a year ago? A little less than a year ago. I had cancer. Me too. I was also very unwell. So, we did a medical close. Then we planned to come back. So, but now it was closed only for a year. In 1971, when your family was the owner of that thing, you didn't know what it was used for before that. Oh, I believe my husband told me. It used to be Sesaden Seaboard before that, or there were devil crabs made of bamboo. But that's all I know. Okay. Your husband was the owner, then who bought it, right? I don't have any further questions.

59:52 – 1:00:22Speaker 2

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Dayan. Do you have any other witnesses? No. Do you have any other evidence to present or are you ending the case? What? Sure.

1:00:22 – 1:00:35Speaker 3

Can I give a real-time message to my client directly? Yes, sir.

1:00:35 – 1:00:46Speaker 2

Have you always intended to continue operating the business? Do you have a simple business for the business?

1:00:46Speaker 3

No more questions.

1:00:50 – 1:01:29Speaker 2

Did you have any cross-examination regarding that question? No. Okay, this time we will allow our public opinion. Is there anyone in the public who wants to speak on this matter? If no one is present, we will end the public opinion session. Do you want to speak? Please excuse us. No, I'm fine. No. Thank you. Okay. Do you have any more opinions about Mr. Cotton? Yes, sir. If you would like to make a joint statement in this regard, please continue with the speech.

1:01:30 – 1:12:07Speaker 4

Yes, sir. Good afternoon. The Kamari petition in Orono is still in progress. The Kamari petition in the Tampa City bill is still in progress. and Mr. Schro and the FDN 26-65 of the FDN 26-65 of the FDN 3643 on North 15th Street. Code section 27-61 to subsection J1C3 little i is the weight of the evidence of the Avalokunna hearing. and you have heard from Mr. Cotton, who explained the difference given to you. Read the Code Section 2743 of the Tampa City Code and use a restaurant. Use and do it. The main reasons are that he gave you the instructions. 1. Disadvantages The main part of the provision of waste is that if it is to be used as a waste, it should be legally used at that time. In 1949, when a science shop was built, you did not hear a word from a witness or a victim that its use was legally established. And, as you heard, from 1971 to 1986, Ms. Kodallu determined that her husband was the owner of the item. He was the owner of his own. In 1992, he bought his own and changed the name to Anony's Sandwich Shop. In 1971, you heard from Ms. Kaudel that she had sold sandwiches when she was a housewife. Nevertheless, Ms. Kaudel said that she had no idea about the use of any permit or the use of any item before 1971. In the initial FDN application process, there is an obligation to give the details of the application as mentioned in Mr. Cotton's review from Codes Section 27 to 291. Next. The other council has spoken about the application. He has returned his letter. It is the application in the first tab of the details you submitted. Even so, as Mr. Cotton has pointed out, um. The staff explained the details of the FDN attack, but the FDN attack was not for the benefit of a sandwich shop. That's why they did the attack. And, in 1948, when a sandwich shop was legally established, the commissioner did not give any details. Now, from the testimony from Mr. Cotton, the commissioner gave evidence to determine whether it was legitimate or not. It is stated that the river was actually used as a seafood centre, a frozen food centre, and then as a sandwich shop. Those uses are three different uses. Just as codes are needed, they do not continue exactly as they are. At that time, the implementation of the law was established. Moreover, This is different. According to 27-297, the standards do not apply. As there were so many uses, this was not used properly. When this is not in use, when the condition is not in use, since the uses have not been used properly, the visitor cannot even reach the required condition without use. This is the statement submitted by the commissioner. Nothing has been submitted for the town of Tamba. This is the commissioner's statement. This is the commissioner's statement. Freezed food can be used in business or sold. Sandwich shop can be used in sandwich shop or sold. It is the commissioner's decision, not the town of Tamba. They have not given any further details about the use of the device. Therefore, the responsibility of submitting the details of how the device is used will always be on the victim. Moreover, they have not given any other details other than how it turned out in the testimony of the Pulp Director and Ms. Carter. From 1971, when they were shopkeepers, they used it as a sandwich shop. In 1949, they built the property. In 1949, they started using it. The first information that was known from Harjikaran was the use of a seaboard. Therefore, a seaboard or a seaboard center for many people. Umm Special Master, what I mean is the hearing officer's truth. Um, Harjikaran has not fulfilled the burden of evidence. Um, zoning administrator has to determine the use of non-existent equipment. Um, there is no evidence to show that the use continues to be the same. That is the first part. There is no evidence that the use continues to be the same. Second, there is no evidence that it has been legally established. Now, there are some doubts about the use change. This is not about what, but about the change in use. What is this about? This is about the use change. And this is not about the use change. This is not about the use change, says Mr. Cotton to the opposition council. It is not like that. This is a change in usage. This is a very different one. A change in usage occurred when a seafood center moved from a frozen food center to a sandwich shop. Therefore, it does not cause any adverse effects. It was not used properly. One Retail and one Retail Sales Convenience together is a use of 27 Code Section 27.156.4-1. It is not allowed in the residential district where these properties are owned. Or we can't even go to a restaurant. This is because it is not allowed in the residential district. That is why we are not able to reach 27-156 up to 41, because they have not established that it is following the rules of non-existent use. Again, Mr. Cotton testified that the entire retail sales department is a large organization, but the permanent use is a restaurant, and he gave you the information of a restaurant. In addition, that information is in Code Section 27-43 to make it clear. A restaurant must be ready to prepare food, sell, and take out for customers immediately. All restaurants, whether they are a restaurant or a food service, should have a valid license. In that license, Mr. Shro has not said that there are more than 10 seats or less than 10 seats. There is no restriction on the time limit of the seat. This is the license of a restaurant that controls our zoning code. In 27 to 43 years, there is no need for seats or special seats. Other examples of restaurants as evidenced by Mr. Cotton. Smoothie King or I forgot the name of the restaurant he recommended, but everything is outside. Even though there are no seats or seats inside the building, it is still a restaurant with retail sales conveniences. Hameed and Hameed On the basis of the evidence that Harjikaran has not submitted, the decision of the zoning administrator is to be made and the city needs to fulfill the request for re-investigation. That's all I need.

1:12:12 – 1:17:55Speaker 2

Thank you, Mr. Dion. Thank you. The city has been established since 1955. It was built in 1949, but there was a use related to this item since 1955. From 1955, the city was mistakenly referred to as a grocery store for properties, and then in 1992, it was mistakenly referred to as a sandwich shop for use. Section 27-156 states that there is a policy in place in the city. It states what are the various services available in the district. Although it is not in the zoning district of 50 rupees, it is mainly for residential or retail sales. This use has not changed since 1955. Convenience goods sales is a use that has been established as a public use. I am going to read the use again. It says that the furniture and furniture that meet the daily needs of your residential area, shop shops, cigarette shops, newsstands, bakeries, sweets, delicatetestings, meat, snacks, food stalls, food stalls that are located below 10000 square feet, The special exception to this class of uses is the sale of spirits and metals. This use has been classified as a permissible use from 4 to 1. We decided to return to the city to get to know us. The name of the establishment was said to be a grocery store, so the city denied it. The name of the institution was changed to a sandwich shop. My client testified that from 1971, the property of retail, sales, convenience goods continues to be used in the use department. Yes, the city was disappointed to know that it was that. Instead, the pulp directories given for it were removed and used for their own use. In addition, it was established in 1955 that it was a palacharaku shop. From 27 to 297, these are non-existent uses, and as the city has repeatedly stated, it is said that non-existent conditions have been established at that time for such uses to continue properly. With the development of the monthly code, conditions were established in 1956 where there was no announcement. The use of these goods has not changed due to the continued use of these goods in some convenience stores. At that time, sandwiches, frozen food, and other non-existent items are sold. Whether it is banned or not, it is not moved out of that department. Because sandwiches are sold or sandwiches are sold, it becomes the primary sale of the item. The customer has never increased or decreased the use of the item. Since there were no changes in use since 1971-02-1992, the city says that the use has changed. If the use has not changed, we do not need to request a permit. If there is a permit or the use has been established, we do not need to request again and again to establish what the use is. There has been no change in use, so there is no need to request a permit. So, we are continuing to use the same permit rather than using a new one. Since the retail, sales, convenience and goods use department, which was established from 1955, is still on top of the item, we need to re-investigate our investment with you, the hearing officer. However, this is a shop that belongs to a shop for a certain amount of money, and so on, said the soning administrator's statement, they replied. It was always a retail, sales, convenience store or establishment.

1:17:59Speaker 1

Thank you. Um.

1:18:01Speaker 2

If I can submit the auspicious orders to the two parties within the next seven days in a VEDU format, is that possible for each of you? Yes. Um. By God, on the 25th.

1:18:20Speaker 4

You want to get a good order, don't you? No. 7 days from today.

1:18:22 – 1:19:05Speaker 2

Okay, then 25th, Mr. Shruth or 26th. What is your date? Oh, 26th. Okay, then we will do 26th. It's through email. Okay. Email is very important. Shubharsha chaita kramatil paramarshichi rikunna yedengilum regagal undengil, ningalku ava emailil ulpeduthan kajiyumengil, ava attachu chayendath illa. Dharalam vivarangal samarpichu, paksha hearingil charcha chaitadha kurachu kaaringal matram ana.

1:19:13Speaker 4

Mr. Dionne, since you know everything about today and the past, I will give you an example to make it clear what you are discussing. Yes.

1:19:28Speaker 2

Or, if you can include that ticket which is more useful to you in the intended process. Okay. Yes. I can use that ticket. Okay. Yes. I think we should use that ticket. That's okay. Yes. Okay. Okay. That's good.

1:19:37Speaker 4

I think so. Now, can we do anything else? There's nothing in the city.

1:19:40Speaker 2

Thank you for your time. Okay. We will end the public hearing on this topic. Thank you for your time.

1:19:46Speaker 2

Thank you. You too. Have a good day. You too.

1:20:10Speaker 4

Okay, thank you both.
