Several nearby residents spoke in opposition during the public hearing. Estelle Barr, identifying herself with the Gladeview Homeowners Association, said the neighborhood opposed “the zoning change for the business located on 60 Ninth Street and 30 Second Avenue,” calling the existing facility “an eyesore to the community.” Robin Roe, a neighboring resident, told the board the site produced trash and rodents and said, “a residential area should be a residential area and not for warehousing.”

Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, representing the applicant, said the operation has been at the location “since 1970” and showed the board a draft declaration of restrictions that would require buffering, walls, landscaping and other site improvements. He described the proffered covenant as a commitment to “clean up that backside of the property” and to upgrade the site as part of an infill improvement.

Staff reported both the CDMP and zoning recommendations offered approval with conditions, including the applicant’s covenant. Commissioners asked whether outstanding fines or violations remained; staff said the violations had been paid. Commissioner Bastian moved approval consistent with staff recommendations; Commissioner Coyne Higgins seconded the motion. The clerk called the roll and the motion passed unanimously.

The approved actions included both the CDMP amendment and the companion zoning application (filed as Z20230000174). Staff and the applicant said they would communicate with residents and follow the permitting process to deliver the promised buffering and landscaping improvements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Miami-Dade County - Miami-Dade BCC - Comprehensive Development Master Plan & Zoning - Mar 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Miami‑Dade County Commission unanimously approved a CDMP amendment and companion zoning application for a property operated by Shamesh Inc., with the applicant agreeing to buffering, landscaping and property improvements; nearby residents had opposed further expansion citing blight and nuisance conditions.","taxTitle","Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",2864,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6628944,"Commissioners adopt CDMP amendment for Lennar Homes; covenant due in 10 days",478,1032000,1510000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2713543-fc0a303d79ce6548dd71fc64dd8b0b7d&start=1032&end=1510","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2713543-fc0a303d79ce6548dd71fc64dd8b0b7d/thumbnail_1032000.jpg","/articles/6628944/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Commissioners-adopt-CDMP-amendment-for-Lennar-Homes-covenant-due-in-10-days","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6628944-eef2709e805cb004d4c42c9c32f8aff2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771040565&Signature=HEi-FUlmxoX2WVrafA2sJxnbmBGy6mF5tLaCa8v~jTJgoE2ODZIpYd3QeZ8E6HKH4a4BBljn9jBevBBQsDaRgJ-UzQJCXV99ADyaJwf0U1~qViNVW0deGFb8ETxi~72sZR-J9~~rINuX7kKRalxB~xHW79EbGC~4MQM39gSHwi45Q-SkvYNeI7FJwH7nWS5TYginZ7VLWS~jabf8z85keEmVyhqbTCZQcbThkbYEu1eQdYU1t1Zgr~J6BlfdkcCVZ0mqYh3THfgMrp~FkVcKGwYTSVOWNs-RLfUQ5iZmCPw6j1ZecVscd5Gcd3XqAPDLdZrwpdE4hMIqyqqykUK7DQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt a Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) amendment filed by Lennar Homes LLC for property on the south side of Southwest 355 Street between Southwest 189 Avenue and Southwest 192 Avenue. The board accepted staff’s recommended change and required that the applicant submit an executed covenant within 10 days, or the application would be deemed withdrawn.

Garrett Rowe, chief of the Metropolitan Planning section in the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources planning division, summarized staff’s recommendation: “The staff recommendation is to adopt the application with change and with acceptance of the proper declaration of restrictions.” Rowe said staff recommended the land-use be designated low‑medium density with a DI‑1 density increase (to achieve the requested density while requiring urban design) and that 7.75 acres abutting the site to the south also be included and designated low density with DI‑1.

Rowe also told commissioners the application had been analyzed for traffic; staff found some nearby roadways would operate in failure but concluded the application “does not significantly add trips to these roadways” and would not trigger roadway mitigation.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins moved the CDMP adoption consistent with staff’s recommendation and Commissioner Bermudez seconded. The motion included a 10‑day condition for the applicant to provide the proffered covenant; staff noted the applicant said the executed covenant was en route but not on site that day. The clerk called the roll and the motion passed unanimously.

The board then took the companion zoning application (hearing Z2024000020) consistent with the land‑use approval. County staff said no protests or petitions of support were on record for the zoning application. Both the CDMP amendment and the zoning decision were recorded as unanimous approvals.

Next steps: Staff will expect the applicant to submit the executed covenant within 10 days of the vote; staff said failure to deliver it will result in the application being deemed withdrawn.","The Miami-Dade County Commission unanimously approved a Comprehensive Development Master Plan amendment for a Lennar Homes LLC application and required a signed covenant within 10 days or the application would be deemed withdrawn.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6628948,"Commissioner defers neighborhood rezoning after urging residents to meet developer",537,235000,772000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2713543-fc0a303d79ce6548dd71fc64dd8b0b7d&start=235&end=772","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2713543-fc0a303d79ce6548dd71fc64dd8b0b7d/thumbnail_235000.jpg","/articles/6628948/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Commissioner-defers-neighborhood-rezoning-after-urging-residents-to-meet-developer","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6628948-086ea0e38336e9a29411d8a6d60bd2f8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771040565&Signature=BeFAjSIeiX6nd9H78AFoCMUDoBqylV62OoHoXEzB5FKl4y~8bNY3FFTMO4UU3BXZWiwb2fejPlbqiaXjNwF8i-K25BvaB6NsCVIciNdw0IlKXsPcRZg07NrnbN1R4N44BKEONKEzj9HS~7VFqkFYk5g~CC6Zfy5-Er172jHWNwUoB-66f5yKpmMa5m3mF2WQx4~q53GLGYabTSa3rWY~iURxI-mmioJFuL5gA0B7JFgMYMMfaW3OkbbrGYNOICxra6T~oj9U9BfoBG2D01E~R2xbkB81okodXh4gT0XYbitP3qxZ3FumQRPllyTP9fbstYgM8G3LFFfxp~XTF-8~RQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioner Regalado asked the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners to defer a rezoning application affecting a neighborhood and the board voted to postpone the item to May 22.

The deferral followed an extended presentation by Commissioner Regalado and county staff explaining options available to the property owner and warnings that the developer could build under an administrative “as-of-right” process if residents do not engage. An attorney speaking for the developer explained that the rezoning request would permit, with a workforce bonus, “up to 17 single family units,” while, without rezoning, the property owner had submitted an administrative application that would allow “8 lots and 2 units on each lot for a total of 16 units.”

Why it matters: Commissioners and staff said the neighborhood has options to influence the outcome only by meeting with the developer and by pursuing private agreements or covenants if they want roads kept closed or other restrictions enforced. Commissioner Regalado told residents, “you have a legal right to enter into an agreement with the developers,” and staff explained a covenant tied to zoning would require a return to the county to lift it.

County staff described the technical difference between the tracks: the administrative approval on file would allow 16 duplex units if the developer meets code requirements, while the rezoning under consideration would change the zoning category and, with the workforce bonus, allow a different unit mix. Staff also noted there are outstanding deficiency comments on the administrative submission that would need to be addressed for that route to proceed.

After the discussion, Commissioner Regalado moved to defer the item; the motion was seconded and carried. The board set the hearing date for May 22 and asked staff to help coordinate meetings between residents and the developer. The chair warned that members of the public who spoke at today’s hearing would not be allowed to speak again on this item at the May 22 hearing if the public comment period were kept open now.

The record: County staff advised that if the applicant follows the administrative approval process and meets code requirements the property could be developed as submitted administratively; staff also described an alternative nonuse variance process to keep a roadway closed and noted that private covenants or a county covenant would be options to ensure the road remained closed.

Next steps: The matter is scheduled for public hearing on May 22. County staff offered to help residents coordinate a neutral meeting site to confer with the developer and urged the neighborhood to meet with counsel and the applicant to clarify options before the next hearing.","Miami-Dade County commissioners voted to defer a rezoning request after the district commissioner urged neighborhood residents to meet with the developer to understand what can be built under current rules.","actionData","errors"]
