The Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners convened on July 17, 2025, to discuss the Comprehensive Development Master Plan and zoning agenda. The meeting featured public comments regarding a contentious zoning change proposal, which has drawn significant opposition from local residents.

The session began with a public speaker, Pablo Reyes, who expressed strong opposition to a proposed project referred to as the "blueness project." Reyes, a property owner directly affected by the project, stated that it would require the removal of 7,000 square feet from his property on Southwest 150 Second Court. He argued that the project is incompatible with the existing Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) and would cause irreversible harm to long-standing residents in the area. Reyes urged the commissioners to deny the application, emphasizing the negative impact it would have on the community.

Following Reyes, another resident, Nora Cooper, addressed the board. Cooper highlighted her family's deep roots in the area, noting that they have lived there for over a century. Her testimony underscored the community's historical connection to the land and the potential disruption the proposed zoning change could bring.

The meeting also included procedural interruptions, such as a request for a ringing phone to be addressed, which momentarily paused the discussions. However, the focus remained on the concerns raised by residents regarding the proposed zoning changes and their implications for the community.

As the meeting progressed, the commissioners listened to the residents' concerns, indicating a commitment to considering the community's input before making any decisions. The outcome of the discussions and any subsequent actions regarding the zoning application remain to be seen, as the board continues to evaluate the implications of the proposed changes on Miami-Dade County's development landscape.
