A controversial amendment to the Miami 21
zoning code will likely be deferred a second time as its author hammers out the
kinks, according to city commissioner Francis Suarez. The proposal met stiff
resistance from Miami’s real estate community when it first came to the city
commission for a vote in November. Brokers and developers’ chief concern was a
lack of clarity about what the changes meant for small landowners and
developers. City documents show the amendment would set new minimums for
developable lots throughout Miami. Some of the biggest changes were in the T4
urban districts like Little Havana, where minimum lot sizes would jump from
just 1,400 square feet to 10,000 square feet and up. And in T6 zones like
Brickell, the minimum size for a lot would grow from 5,000 square feet to
20,000 square feet.
“The reservations that have been expressed
in my opinion have not been completely addressed,” Suarez said. “Our planning
director is still trying to clarify the language.”
