Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association Nominations

The Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association is the largest voluntary neighborhood association in the city of Tampa. Geographically it is the largest containing more than 7,500 homes. Membership is nearly 600. It contains 2 of Tampa's National Register Historic Districts. In many ways, Old Seminole Heights is bigger than most small towns.

Therefore it is one neighborhood association where the board can impact city hall. The Seminole Heights area was a test for the idea of a residential overlay district (the link goes to a google search of the term) to add some minimal zoning restrictions to buffer the historic districts. It is the test case for Tampa's foray into Form Based Zoning. It has held one of Tampa Bay's most successful neighborhood Home Tours for 10 years running. Located just 3 miles north of downtown, it is a quick commute to the commercial core, the entertainment areas of Ybor City and Channelside, and the University of South Florida and the University of Tampa.

As one of the most active neighborhood groups in Tampa, the Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association (commonly shortened to OSHNA) the composition of the Association board is important. Nominations are now open (and close in 2 weeks). If you live in OSHNA's boundaries check out what is happening in your neighborhood.
