The project would add a new waterfront development that includes waterfront views for more than 4,000 residential units and more than 600,000 square-feet for retail and office space.
It was first proposed last January by developer Darryl Shaw, the developer of the Gas Worx development that is set to rise just southwest of Ybor City.
Ybor Harbor would take up 33 acres of land along the Ybor Channel close to the port’s cruise ship terminals.
The development also would include 150,000 square feet of retail space and 800 hotel rooms.
The city council already approved to rezone the area last month.
Thursday's hearing is the final public hearing for the project.
