The applicant also requested variances for parking and pervious area; the board approved the project with conditions.

Staff summarized the proposal as an assemblage of two lots into a single 20,250‑square‑foot parcel in the downtown urban center. The project places active commercial uses on Ninth Street, two levels of parking behind the street edge and four floors of residential above. Because the proposal provides 56 parking spaces where 77 are required by code, the applicant requested a variance; staff recommended mitigation measures and a recorded declaration of restrictions to limit off‑site impacts.

Owner and applicant Edna Morales Rodriguez, general partner of Rodriguez Family LLLP, said the project will provide pedestrian‑oriented retail at the corner and a mural by a local artist. Staff and the applicant agreed conditions requiring a recorded declaration/uniting the properties, a six‑foot concrete block (CBS) wall and lush landscape buffering along the north and east property lines to protect adjacent single‑family homes, and a plan — including valet or other managed parking — to ensure parking demand is contained on the site. One nearby resident submitted a written objection raising parking concerns; the applicant responded that unit parking will be prioritized and that valet and operational controls are part of the conditions the applicant accepted.

The board approved the SUP and variances by motion; recorded votes were in favor with the conditions noted. Conditions include finalizing the declaration of restrictions, implementing sidewalk and curb improvements along East Ninth Street and Second Avenue, assigning priority parking to building residents during evening hours, and requiring on‑site loading/unloading.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning & Zoning Meeting 5-28-25","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning & Zoning Board approved a special‑use permit allowing a seven‑story mixed‑use project at 901 and 925 East Second Avenue with 32 residential units, roughly 3,600 sq ft of commercial space and a variance reducing required parking from 77 to 56 spaces.","taxTitle","Hialeah, Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",2891,"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},6223599,"Hialeah board approves Waste Connections intermodal rail transfer facility with conditions; vacates adjacent right of way",2731,7269000,10000000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3571920-add63731ff061d34f8a4f81ed8fc0ca3&start=7269&end=10000","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3571920-add63731ff061d34f8a4f81ed8fc0ca3/thumbnail_7269000.jpg","/articles/6223599/Hialeah/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Hialeah-board-approves-Waste-Connections-intermodal-rail-transfer-facility-with-conditions-vacates-adjacent-right-of-way","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6223599-e17963ea737b4408ed22e82552ccb636/orig.mp4?Expires=1775221794&Signature=gkgGffxPC9wrDwUJyqoqz6n0JH07LzHQ8TU~DxYGNy~Im3yuiMa3yJWOcMxhkD-aptXhILiwBOetcG-r4imWZhe~IPDAgNn2uUGOmErGJAeq-QOsPr9D0ieOKoNRPEKQJN9Qe9QWtSJrtoT-PTtzIF~XuosS-INGivn7rfTO4-DD~74FiglE4zE-rjN1IurcQ8H171f0OhyFtSz2mGM~kvAnLckoDr0KjgXFaTS2p5PM-PLvYA9EO9ehaT1mYfQLoNzh7yjR8fX90qk3juWOl-eKex46wjO7PGRKIRVndPXqrMqW0Omrvc7kViVGQ9pLw9hp2-HIabSpCjb1v0~l5w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning & Zoning Board approved two linked items allowing Waste Connections of Florida to add an intermodal rail transfer facility at its existing Hialeah campus east of the CSX railroad tracks: (1) a resolution to vacate and abandon a portion of Northwest 30th Eighth Avenue right of way adjacent to the site, and (2) a special‑use permit (SUP) and variance package to expand the legal, nonconforming solid‑waste operation and add rail intermodal transfer operations.

Planning staff described the unified property as roughly 7.12 acres adjacent to the Tri‑Rail market station and CSX tracks. The site currently hosts a solid‑waste transfer operation and an older materials‑recovery/recycling facility the applicant proposes to demolish. Staff recommended approval with conditions after reviewing traffic, operations and site‑visit findings and after obtaining outstanding utility “no‑objection” letters for the right‑of‑way vacation.

Applicant counsel and operations staff described the intermodal process: incoming truckloads arrive in tarped containers, staff remove tarps and seal containers with purpose‑built lids on site, and sealed containers are staged and loaded onto railcars for transport to a central landfill. The applicant said containers are \"seal proof lids\" and that lidding and sealing procedures are intended to prevent odor and leakage.

Staff noted the existing facility receives roughly 6,847 tons of solid waste per week; about 25% of loads originate from the City of Hialeah and the remainder from haulers across Miami‑Dade County. City staff asked the applicant for a detailed operations plan and a traffic analysis; both were submitted and reviewed. The staff report and follow‑up conditions aim to reduce visual and odor impacts: mature trees and increased landscaping along the western property line, a solid (CBS) wall along the west property line, restrictions on where loading/unloading and deliveries may occur, and an annual progress and maintenance report to City Council each June documenting compliance and outstanding items.

The board approved vacating the identified right‑of‑way and approved the SUP and variance application with conditions; votes recorded at the meeting carried the items though at least one board member recorded a dissenting vote on the SUP/variance. Conditions include a requirement that any substantial (20% or greater) increase in weekly tonnage or intermodal daily tons triggers a revised traffic analysis and an updated operations plan, and an agreement to revisit the operation’s long‑term role in 2055 (or when a county waste‑to‑energy facility becomes operational) to consider termination or modification of on‑site solid‑waste disposal operations.

Board discussion included direct questions about odor control, the technical nature of lidded, sealed containers, and how the approved operation differs from the older recycling/sorting operation that will be demolished. Staff and the applicant agreed to refine some of the proposed conditions before City Council review and to work through details including utility clearances and final landscaping and fence design.","The Planning & Zoning Board approved a right‑of‑way vacation and a special‑use permit for Waste Connections to add an intermodal rail transfer facility at its Hialeah campus, subject to conditions including annual progress reports, increased landscape buffers and a 2055 reevaluation clause.",{"_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},6223605,"Board approves small‑scale land‑use change and rezoning for 29 East 16th Street to allow four‑unit building",404,6206000,6610000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3571920-add63731ff061d34f8a4f81ed8fc0ca3&start=6206&end=6610","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3571920-add63731ff061d34f8a4f81ed8fc0ca3/thumbnail_6206000.jpg","/articles/6223605/Hialeah/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Board-approves-smallscale-landuse-change-and-rezoning-for-29-East-16th-Street-to-allow-fourunit-building","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6223605-a950f86a23f4b6bdf180ef2b04519ae6/orig.mp4?Expires=1775221794&Signature=HXp6pED~1tnlrIkigyx24MMooO~385xSCJcmbkWFMay5uO-KA9ezR-9q-GfA~nHjA4R6Idq~4SQw1qD-ODNW3VIaTHJQaXdwfbKHQQoDSfZcGPeNob6I4kK9OBchxTvZDH1JeU41l~A53ZISStg-Iuram-jr7m3jo6wpc2YTUgqAuUt3vHoCGhW~8KnIucKHYh-ymb-q2RKJUue5HBKkcf5cct05ASrwrZt~MYyHda0MBTedjCtE9sFU8KtFE6hpMnZEVF15rX6852aWWrKRiHxtGoyUPl5dwhxDkx38nm3OV~8YWSgYmAniBv-0u7q6fZqAToo~aFNr1YWnTzz2JA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning & Zoning Board voted to recommend a change in the future land‑use designation and to rezone 29 East 16th Street from low‑density residential to medium‑density residential and from R‑2 (two‑family) to R‑3 (multifamily) to allow a three‑story, four‑unit building.

Planning staff said the property is less than one block from the Palm Avenue commercial corridor and roughly four blocks from the Hialeah Metrorail station, and that the proposed density would create a transition between the commercial corridor and lower‑density neighborhoods. Staff recommended approval, saying the area has infrastructure capacity and that school, park and police concurrency will be checked during site plan review.

Applicant Manny Rios (architect) presented a plan for a three‑story building with four two‑bedroom units and eight surface parking spaces (two per unit). Staff and the applicant agreed on conditions including a declaration of restrictions limiting the development to four residential units; a requirement to preserve street trees in the swale during construction; and a full landscaping and irrigation plan at site plan review. The applicant acknowledged existing irregularities on the lot and said the proposal aims to provide a controlled, code‑compliant redevelopment in an area he described as transitioning near Palm Avenue.

The companion rezoning and variance package requested rear and side setback reductions, a lot‑coverage increase, a reduced pervious‑area percentage and other site variances customary to urban infill lots. Planning staff recommended approval of the rezoning and variances with the conditions noted. The board approved the related items by motion; recorded votes showed the motion carried.","The Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of a small‑scale future land‑use amendment and rezoning for 29 East 16th Street to permit a three‑story, four‑unit multifamily building; accompanying variances and a declaration limiting the site to four units were recommended as conditions.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6223609,"Hialeah planning board adopts Hialeah 2050 master plan",4298,1892000,6190000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3571920-add63731ff061d34f8a4f81ed8fc0ca3&start=1892&end=6190","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3571920-add63731ff061d34f8a4f81ed8fc0ca3/thumbnail_1892000.jpg","/articles/6223609/Hialeah/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Hialeah-planning-board-adopts-Hialeah-2050-master-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6223609-67630ef2ec80b95783f3891d07b997de/orig.mp4?Expires=1775221794&Signature=dodopLfPONK4q33zPUL9NnIT0iIKVhM3psSuEYETEFQj9lA6ePUHRrLPNhOj7qlwQKicen0RfVxseBSktNb8GBOxL6Ic0wO3RiSoj7LOTGavCoDjjBZtv9FkgIazW-Y3EOaO3~7~TAzo8ldCfBjU-B3aXBUHA2a--v~KC~PDe7-hpKrLbrXQa1-IyLk~uGaaG7fqZuMAFN~aBGYsw4yuwbNEO4unOMtMVhsRwZDYs2Mcz77~7j0b1j-FYaOH9PJV3yOu-cbC9km70HOmF2gh-HDzTBO24UnPQNUqhbEsN~CLpvaBDOwyZ-fdoPwutRC-jJ1PmU92fgkyKMLlhvDZ9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hialeah Planning & Zoning Board voted to approve a resolution supporting and adopting the Hialeah 2050 master plan at its May 2025 meeting, endorsing a 25‑year guide for land use, transportation, infrastructure and parking.

The master plan, produced by Placervia Design with technical partners, recommends short‑, mid‑ and long‑term actions across four pillars — urban design/land use and quality of life; transportation and connectivity; infrastructure and public services; and parking and parking management. Juan Muyerat, principal at Placervia, said the project \"started in September 2023\" after extensive bilingual outreach and workshops.

Board members and staff emphasized the plan is a framework, not a timetable for construction. Maria Benfeld, project manager, summarized community priorities and said the plan \"recommends improving access, and finding opportunities to also expand the open space network,\" pointing to maps that identify corridors, nodes and three tiers of opportunity areas around transit stations and commercial corridors. Transportation planner Jesus Fuentes described proposed multimodal road treatments as \"mid and long term solutions\" tied to improved transit and streetscape investments.

Several board members pressed the consultant on traffic impacts of proposed street reconfigurations, especially on busy corridors such as West 29th/20th (referred to in presentation examples as 20 Ninth). One board member said the city’s current traffic congestion made lane reductions \"very difficult\" to imagine today; consultants and other board members responded that the concepts are optional, intended as part of a phased vision that depends on future transit investments and detailed project‑level study.

The board approved the resolution by motion (mover: Mister Iglesias; seconder: Mister Santistevan). The vote recorded at the meeting was six in favor, zero opposed. The item now moves to City Council; staff said the Council would consider the plan at its scheduled June 10, 2025 meeting.

The plan packet includes a 400‑page recommendations report, an opportunity‑area map, prototype “missing middle” housing designs vetted with city departments, and a public‑outreach summary. The consultant and staff noted many recommendations require follow‑up: zoning updates, prioritization of projects, and grant applications to fund implementation.","The Planning & Zoning Board voted to support and adopt the Hialeah 2050 master plan after a two‑year public process that recommends increased housing types, expanded open space and multimodal transportation improvements.
