TAMPA - The proposed $100 million makeover of Hyde Park Village gained final rezoning approval from the Tampa City Council on Thursday.

The council's 4-2 vote allows the village's owner, Wasserman Realty Capital, to re- develop the 20-year-old outdoor shopping area with condominiums and stores.

Council members Gwen Miller, Charlie Miranda, Tom Scott and Joseph Caetano voted in favor, with Mary Mulhern and Linda Saul-Sena voting against.

John Dingfelder recused himself because his law office was a village tenant until December when it moved a few buildings away.

Many Hyde Park residents have opposed the project since its unveiling almost two years ago.

The city's Architectural Review Commission rejected the plans three times, most recently in November when it found the latest version of the project out of character with the historical neighborhood.

Last month, the council gave initial rezoning approval, also by a 4-2 vote, after a more than six-hour public hearing. The plans include replacing the former Sunrise Cinema building on Swann Avenue with a 90-foot tower with 85 residences, 46,501 square feet of office and retail space including a grocery, and 348 parking spaces.

The former Brooks Bros. building would become an 80-foot tower with 78 residences, 43,530 square feet of retail and office space, and 263 parking spaces.

The project next needs a certificate of appropriateness from the review commission. The certificate will shape the architectural details of the proposed buildings.

Dingfelder's recusal led to a brief discussion among council members about conflicts of interest, with Miranda questioning Dingfelder's decision.

"I'm not opposed to you not voting," Miranda said. "I just want to clear the record to make sure these things are addressed."

Council Attorney Martin Shelby said he would be willing to seek an opinion from the state attorney general.

Senior Assistant City Attorney Julia Cole said the city is updating its conflict-of-interest language for lower boards, such as variance review, and would present any proposed changes to the council.
