what is a CHARRETTE?

The French word, "Charrette" means "cart" and is often used to describe the final, intense work effort expended by art and architecture students to meet a project deadline. This use of the term is said to originate from the École des Beaux Arts in Paris during the 19th century, where proctors circulated a cart, or “charrette”, to collect final drawings while students frantically put finishing touches on their work.

what is a CHARRETTE?

Today the word charrette can refer to any collaborative session in which a group of designers drafts a solution to a design problem. Charrettes serve as a way of quickly generating a design solution while integrating the aptitudes and interests of a diverse group of people. Similar to workshop.

what matters in WEST TAMPA?

HOW DO WE GROW?

WHERE DOES HISTORY COME IN?

HOW DO WE MOVE AROUND?

WHERE DO WE SHOP AND WORK?

WHAT IS A DESTINATION?

WHAT IS MIXED USE, WHERE DOES IT GO?

WHERE DO WE GO TO SCHOOL, THE LIBRARY, THE PARK?

what are we LOOKING AT?

RIVERFRONT DISTRICTThis site consists of the TAMPA WATER DEPARTMENT PROPERTY and the NORTH BOULEVARD HOMES. It also houses the MLK recreation complex. The site is boarded by Just Elementary School, Blake High School, and single family residential. It is also within close proximity to the HILLSBOROUGH RIVER. The key to this site is to maintain both the water department functionality and number of low income housing residents, while allowing for a redevelopment for a higher density of uses and foster a larger variety of services within the properties.

SOUTHEASTERN EDGEThis site is located between CYPRESS and CASS Avenues, between FREMONT and OREGON Streets. The site is an industrial area located near the UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA campus and includes close connections to DOWNTOWN, Hyde Park and the SoHo retail area. This site is open to a wide variety of uses and possibilities.

RESIDENTIAL FABRICThis site is located between ARMENIA and ROME Avenue, between PALMETTO and PINE Street. This site includes the CENTRO ESPANOL DE WEST TAMPA, PENDAS Y ALVAREZ CIGAR FACTORY and REY PARK. The key to this site is to study the buffering and mixing of uses from a commercial corridor to a neighborhood park to a traditional single family streetscape, and the importance of preserving the cigar factories as focal pieces within the city.

HOWARD/ARMENIA CORRIDORThis site begins at I-275 and travels north to COLUMBUS Ave. It is centered along both HOWARD and ARMENIA Avenues. This pair of ONE WAY STREETS today serves as the main thorough fare of the region. The key to this site is to maintain the large traffic flow along both streets while creating a destination within the corridor and foster a more boulevard-like feel to the corridor.

CONNECTIONS AND GATEWAYS (MAIN STREET)No neighborhood is complete without connections between its key elements. This group is set to explore the connections within the region as a way to create a COHESIVE NEIGHBORHOOD with a DISTINCT IDENTITY and feeling of community. Sites to include, but not limited to, connections across 275, connecting to downtown and other neighborhoods, connecting inner city parks, connecting housing to workplaces or recreation, and the redevelopment of MAIN STREET AS A COMMERCIAL CORE.

RIVERFRONT DISTRICT

Page 15: West Tampa Urban Design Charrette presented by AIA Tampa Bay Architectural Heritage Committee and Emerging Tampa Bay Architects.

Create boulevards/main streets as thoroughfares.

Create joint use agreements with the schools.

Add to existing commercial sites along the river (Rick’s).

Consolidate the playfields.Better use of the parking lots in the Tampa Water property.

Continue the river walk across the bridge. Make programmed public spaces. Integrate the public housing with the neighborhood with a mixture of sizes and typologies. Make public uses on the river about the water.

Use Main Street as a commercial corridor and buffer.Create a shopping district that will be a regional draw.

Extend the trolley system from Ybor through Downtown and into West Tampa.

Create a water taxi system to downtown. Integrate the schools and neighborhood.Build large new recreation/community center. (Adult + Youth = Intergenerational)

Activate the riverfront with people. Move schools off of the river. Build more boat docks.

Create a series of pocket parks leading from the residential areas to the river.

Build public pool(s).

DENSITY AND DISTRICTSUse historic plat lines for residential density

Live/work studios above + retail/commercial belowMaintain low density (industry/business)Growth in landscape, entertainment, and restaurantsMixed use (retail/office/living) like Hyde Park

Pedestrian friendly (landscape buffers)

HISTORIC STRUCTURESUse any restorable structures (Secretary of Interior Guidelines)

Keep historic fabricKeep Laundry Building (Restore glass, etc.) (New use=gym or retail)Outside of National Historic District, but would like to preserve “veneer warehouses” and those with unique styles

Maintain function of warehouses to keep jobsSave graffiti and murals as an identifying point of reference for neighborhoods from the streets (both pedestrian and vehicular scale)

Tear down non-viable warehouses to make room for residential with parks/green space

MIXED USE + RETAIL

Maintain existing industrial fabricUtilize alleys to access public parking

Use high density residential or low-impact professional for transition zones

Page 23: West Tampa Urban Design Charrette presented by AIA Tampa Bay Architectural Heritage Committee and Emerging Tampa Bay Architects.

STREETSCAPEEstablish corners with point of reference

Maintain brick fabric (i.e. building veneers, streets, and pavers) Large/tall trees on median to create a “grand boulevard” feel and slow down trafficTrolley system to provide strong connection to downtownInclude local routes (i.e. to near-by residential areas)

Foster outdoor commerce (cafes, corner gardens, landscape, benches, water features)Maintain alleys as pedestrian access points and garden alley waysCreate an industrial overlay district

Narrow the streets

EMPLOYMENT

Small “mom n’ pop” businesses, few large corporationsMarket, fresh food market, learning center, int. café, jazz/music lounge, custom furniture, cigar shopSocial/Entertainment functions that can utilize warehouse space (theater /small playhouse,

gymnasium/sports venues, café, galleries)

Diversity to maintain the neighborhoodAssist businesses that support each other

Employment center with training facilitiesCo-op development in retailHostelsFlorida enterprise

Daycare and schools

Economic mixture“Young New York City” with room for developmentCan’t tell the difference between economic status based on residenceChange the infrastructure? Can the City handle that?Density-rapid growth in West TampaAre we going to build a city?

Density, but balance! (Some residents don’t want density)Affordable!Safety!There is opposition to making West Tampa an historic district.Keep historic look with out designation.Preserve community sites and public buildings.

Community Buildings keep national historic designation.Increase and extend bus services.

Curbs, pavements, walkable communities.Make Main Street accessible on both sides for retail.Meet the income needs of the neighborhood. Drug stores.Retail: Supply regular/everyday needs.Convenience for retail: economic and transportation.Create (retail) jobs for residents.

Companies moving to West Tampa: Move to Main StreetBuild corporate office buildings parallel to I-275 and Main. Build tall.Riverfront development should be concerned with the residents.Parks and recreation on the riverfront. Good!Preserve the riverfront and make it more community based.

All streets need to connect to the river front.

RETAIL MIXED USE

More people = more disposable income.Increased residential density is needed to support restaurants and retail.Need banks. Small supermarket.Problem: Proximity of churches and restaurants (liquor license)Boutique, art/culture, museum.Increase in police presence to encourage daytime/evening use.Basic needs, not entertainment. Consider the customer base.

Locally based economy.Consider economic fluctuations.Feasibility of design standards.

TRANSPORTATION STREET DESIGN2-way traffic on Howard and Armenia

On-street diagonal parking along Howard and side streetsParking is needed until transit is improvedStreetscape landscapingDo not sacrifice pedestrian amenitiesCreate a better partnership with FDOTHoward historic square

Greater pedestrian connection from east of Howard to west of ArmeniaStructured parking + on-street parkingRetain brick streetsTrolley from NOHO to SOHOMaximize use of alleys

Promote creative development for transit (trolley to downtown)

Page 38: West Tampa Urban Design Charrette presented by AIA Tampa Bay Architectural Heritage Committee and Emerging Tampa Bay Architects.

EMPLOYMENT

Promote live-work unitsBusiness districts (needs labor force)Hire local (provide training opportunities)

Mixed employment OPPORTUNITIESHigher density residential along corridor

Provide incentives for higher paying jobs (office/arts/mixed use)Small business incentives

Create a free trade zone

MISCELLANEOUSShould City budget issues hold us back?Promote Walking/Bicycling (pedestrian friendly)Showcase history/character/historic buildings (tourist attractions)

Make West Tampa a location not a pass throughNot Hyde Park but uniquely our ownSmall parking garages that fit in with the character of the neighborhoodLarger parking garages near the interstatePromote heritage/history/sustainability/beauty/character of neighborhoodImprove the look of storefronts/signs
