Old Seminole Heights resident, architect, and owner of (allegedly) design Patrick Thorpe and City of Tampa Zoning Supervisor Eric Cotton will be holding a free Zoom workshop on ADUs and the basics of the Seminole Heights zoning code on February 23rd at 6:30 p.m. The goal of the workshop is to help residents understand how the process works and to improve ADU applications submitted to the City of Tampa. The workshop will be about one hour and include a slide presentation, discussion of typical issues found in applications, and Q&A session.  Whether you are just considering the option or have already put some work into getting started, we encourage you to join this workshop to learn more!
