Miami‑Dade County’s Planning Advisory Board voted to adopt staff’s recommended change to the CDMP land‑use designation for a roughly 41‑acre Bluenest parcel north of SW 300th Street, forwarding the recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. The applicant submitted a proffered declaration limiting development and committing to 20% of units as workforce housing, utility connections and mitigation; staff recommended a low‑density designation with a DI‑1 overlay to require stronger urban‑design measures and compatibility with adjacent homes.

Staff noted the parcel is currently a mix of agricultural and low‑density single‑family surroundings and observed nearby preserved lands and trees protected by county code. The applicant proffered 451 units with 20% workforce housing in the package presented to staff, and also agreed to utility extension and some design and lighting restrictions intended to reduce impacts on adjacent agricultural uses. The staff recommendation asked for the DI‑1 overlay to ensure form and design triggers that promote walkability and compatibility.

The South Redlands community council provided a “no recommendation” on the item; the transcript records opposition in public comment centering on traffic, drainage and preserving agricultural character. The PAB motion to adopt staff’s change passed 7–1; the board also asked that the applicant include the previously discussed financing buy‑down in the covenant as a condition recorded at the hearing. The matter will be transmitted to the Board of County Commissioners for final action and will require subsequent traffic, stormwater and title analyses during zoning and platting.
