Doral planning agency forwards four zoning and land‑use changes to city council without recommendation
Summary
The City of Doral Local Planning Agency voted June 4 to transmit four proposed code and map amendments — including a new tandem‑parking provision and a rezoning of a five‑acre parcel at 8400 Northwest 30th Street — to the city council without a recommendation. No members of the public spoke on the items.
At its June 4 meeting, the City of Doral Local Planning Agency voted to transmit four proposed land‑use and zoning amendments to the city council without a recommendation.
The measures included proposed ordinance changes to add a “tandem parking and mixed‑use developments” section to the city code for office and commercial districts, a small‑scale comprehensive plan amendment to change a five‑acre parcel’s future land use to downtown mixed use (CMU), and a zoning map amendment to rezone that same five‑acre parcel from Industrial Commercial (IC) to Downtown Mixed Use (DMU). All four motions to transmit the items to the city council without a recommendation passed on roll call votes.
Councilwoman Nicole Reynoso moved each motion to transmit the items to the city council without a recommendation. Councilman Rafael Pinedo seconded the motions in the roll calls recorded for most items; one second was recorded as councilman Benito for item 5b. Mayor Christie Fraga joined the roll calls; the recorded votes for each motion were Yes votes from Councilwoman Nicole Reynoso, Councilman Rafael Pinedo and Mayor Christie Fraga, and the motions passed.
Public comment was opened for each item and no members of the public spoke. The agency conducted a brief roll call and procedural handling for each item and did not engage in extended debate on the proposals during the Local Planning Agency meeting.
Item details as read into the record by meeting staff: - Item 5(a): Amendment to Chapter 68, Article 3 (office districts) to create a section titled “tandem parking and mixed use developments.” - Item 5(b): Amendment to Chapter 68 (commercial districts) to create a section titled “tandem parking and mixed use developments.” - Item 5(c): Small‑scale comprehensive plan land‑use amendment to change a 5‑acre parcel’s future land use to Downtown Mixed Use (CMU) for property listed in the meeting record at 8400 Northwest 30th Street. - Item 5(d): Amendment to the official zoning map to rezone the same 5‑acre parcel from Industrial Commercial (IC) to Downtown Mixed Use (DMU).
Each item was transmitted to the city council without a recommendation; the Local Planning Agency then adjourned and the regular city council meeting was scheduled to begin shortly afterward.
