Garage (Tampa, Wesley Chapel: lease, HOA, chapel)

[RishardJ]

Anyone know an area in Wesley Chapel that would allow a 3 car garage to be built? My parents are moving down to Tampa with us and they want a neighborhood that would have enough property to build a nice garage on it. My dad has some hot rods that he is building or has built. It would have to be pretty high ceilings as well, he has a lift. Thanks

All the newer subdivisions will most likely not allow it.
You could look around the Angus Valley area or anywhere along Old Pasco Rd.

Most decent newer subdivisions with responsible HOA's don't want residents working on, repairing, or restoring cars and trucks in their neighborhoods, are you kidding?


Even some rural areas don't want that kind of activity. Furthermore, in some counties, this is deemed a "commercial activity" which has to performed in an area ZONED for such.


Few people moving to Florida want to intentionally reside in a house next to residents who are constantly tinkering with machinery, motors, and commercial equipment.


Frankly, grease monkeys, hobbyists or enthusiasts need to lease a location that is away from most decent subdivisions in order to engage in what they choose to do. It has no place in most subdivisions. It's disruptive, unappealing, inappropriate and in some cases downright dangerous to other residents and the community as a whole.


Find about 5 or 10 acres off a rural county road in northern Hillsborough or Pasco.

Yeah just stay away from HOAs and you should be fine. I won't go near one anyway. I don't need to pay someone to tell me when to bring my trash cans in, or to close my garage door.

You sound miserable. I'm guessing you're an HOA officer.

[CRG22]

Yeah, I don't know anywhere that working on your own car is considered a commercial activity. I know plenty of HOAs won't allow it. But I know of some that won't let you own a truck, keep your garage door open more than 10 minutes, try to bully residents into breaking the watering restrictions to keep their lawn unnaturally green (and like a swamp), etc. And the kicker? They charge you for this "parental guidance".

[WickedBad]

There are appropriate places to engage in putting cars on "lifts" as the OP described as
part of the activities probably to be performed. Most neighborhoods (residential) don't embrace this sort of work done on the lots in any decent subdivision. Why would they? Neither is changing your oil of your vehicle while in your driveway.


Restoring vehicles or repairing vehicles should be done in the appropriate setting. A SF house neighborhood is not the place for this sort of activity.Period.


Simply find an area not in a decent subdivision, with acreage, and no HOA, then you can turn wrenches, or build engines and paint vehicles, or store boats/jet skis to your heart's content, on your own property.

Why are you even posting in this thread? Your bias against anyone who chooses to maintain their own car is apparent. If you're happy in an HOA that legislates down to the turning of a wrench, then you have nothing to worry about, and nothing to contribute.

Your bias is obvious; anyone who works on a car is a 'grease monkey' and no 'decent subdivision' would allow someone to change their own oil on their vehicle? That's laughable. Shall we ban car washing as well since only plebeians would think to wash a car themselves, let alone in their own driveway; how embarrassing for the neighborhood.

Don't feed it. You probably don't know, WickedBad had been banned under a couple dozen member names and he has somewhere around six active at any given time. Check for join dates, it's a dead giveaway.

Wow. You must be fun at parties.
