At the Miami‑Dade Board of County Commissioners meeting the board adopted several CDMP and zoning applications, approved a mitigation bank, approved a nursing home project and a self‑storage zoning item, and deferred one transit‑adjacent redevelopment application for further review.
The Miami‑Dade Board of County Commissioners voted on multiple land‑use and zoning items during the meeting. Most measures passed unanimously; one application was deferred for further review. Key outcomes listed by agenda item:
• CDMP 20‑23‑26 / Zoning 8C2 (Lennar Holmes LLC / UL112 LLC, Z2023000447): Adopted/approved; applicant and staff recommended approval and both the CDMP and concurrent zoning items were approved without public opposition.
• CDMP 20‑24‑15 / Zoning (BlueNest at Chrome 1 LLC): Transmitted with additional conditions — see the separate article for a detailed account of the BlueNest action (capped townhome workforce price; 20% workforce income‑restricted units; pump station sized for the basin; green infrastructure landscaping). Motion by Commissioner Cohen Higgins; second Commissioner Gilbert; unanimous.
• 7A (Mitigation bank — standard CDMP adoption): Adopted with acceptance of recorded declaration of restrictions. Staff recommended adoption after review and the board adopted the item unanimously. Speakers raised coordination needs with Everglades restoration and hydrology; staff and applicant confirmed coordination with the water management district.
• 7B / 8C1 (Infinity Gardens Apartments / Z2023000187): Adopted and approved. The district commissioner moved in support and the measure passed unanimously.
• 7C (Douglas Road Metropolitan Urban Center text amendment): Adopted as transmitted. The application is a county‑filed, out‑of‑cycle amendment to Metropolitan Urban Center language; staff recommended adoption to facilitate development of the Douglas Station urban center.

The board approved an unusual‑use application and two nonuse variances for a proposed five‑story skilled nursing facility (private beds). Commissioners required an added condition limiting the property use to a skilled nursing facility in which a majority of patients are age 62 or older.
• 8C5 (Extra Space self‑storage / Z2024000131): Approved with proffered covenants. Traffic engineering recorded minimal peak‑hour impacts for self‑storage and staff recommended approval; the board adopted the item unanimously.

Most votes were unanimous. The meeting record shows robust public participation on several items, and staff indicated remaining administrative steps and permitting processes for approved projects. Deferred items will return to the board for future public hearing and action.
