In a recent meeting, the North Miami City Council made significant decisions regarding city services and development projects. The council approved the addition of two vehicles to the city's fleet, increasing the total from four to six. This expansion will cost approximately $750,000.

The council also discussed a major development project that has been a frequent topic of conversation. A property owner requested a conditional use permit (CUP) to raise the building height limit from 115 feet to 217 feet. This change will allow for the construction of a 22-story residential building with 267 units and 422 parking spaces. The council granted this request but set specific conditions. The property owner must submit a detailed site plan within one year of the CUP approval. If they fail to do so, the permit will be revoked. Additionally, the site plan must be approved by the council before any building permits can be issued. The developer is also required to build and maintain a six-foot sidewalk along North Bayshore Drive.

Another project approved by the council involves Ah North Homes, which received a conditional use permit for a four-story apartment building with 25 units and 41 parking spaces. They also requested 15 bonus floating units for this development.

These decisions reflect the city's ongoing efforts to manage growth and improve services for its residents.
