A 6 million-square-foot Ybor City waterfront plan will bring hotel, offices and 4,700 residences along with a boardwalk with retailers and restaurants.

Tampa Bay-Lakeland

The Tampa City Council approved the rezoning and a comprehensive plan amendment for a 33-acre mixed-use project Thursday night, the first step in turning developer Darryl Shaw’s vision for transforming the waterfront near Ybor City into a reality.

The votes were the first of two that the City Council will take on the items. The rezoning passed unanimously, and the amendment passed 6 to 1.

The second pair of votes are scheduled for May 2, a spokesperson for the project says.
