On Dec. 10, 2025, the City of Doral Local Planning Agency voted to transmit four text- and map-based land‑use and zoning items (Items 5A–5D) to the City Council without recommendation; each motion passed on a recorded roll call. No public commenters spoke; the LPA adjourned for the 6:00 p.m. council meeting.
The City of Doral Local Planning Agency on Wednesday transmitted four land‑use and zoning items to the City Council without a recommendation, voting on each motion by roll call and then adjourning to the City Council meeting scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
The LPA considered four items listed as 5A through 5D. Item 5A was a text amendment to the city development code to add definitions for fitness/sports uses, list indoor/outdoor recreational facilities as a special exception in certain Industrial/Commercial districts, update Downtown Doral Air District business-sports terminology, and create development regulations for indoor/outdoor recreation facilities. Councilman Vidal moved to transmit Item 5A without recommendation; Councilman Reynoso seconded. Roll call votes recorded in the meeting record show Councilman Vidal, Councilman Reynoso and Mayor Kristy Fraga voting yes and the motion passed.
Item 5B proposed a comprehensive plan text amendment to remove prohibitions on amusement centers, entertainment, health/exercise and sport‑facility uses within an industrial future‑land‑use category. Councilman Vinero moved to transmit Item 5B without recommendation; Councilwoman Reynoso seconded. Roll‑call votes recorded in the minutes show affirmative votes and the motion passed.
Item 5C was a small‑scale future land‑use map amendment to change roughly 4.95 acres from office to a combined office and residential designation for a property identified in the record as 3285 Northwest (as listed in the record). Councilman Rafael Pinedo moved to transmit Item 5C without recommendation; Councilwoman Reynoso seconded. The roll call recorded affirmative votes and the motion passed.
Item 5D proposed an official zoning map amendment from Office OR‑3 to multifamily residential for roughly 4.495 acres at the same property record. Councilman Pinedo moved to transmit Item 5D without recommendation; Councilman Reynoso seconded. Recorded roll‑call votes were affirmative and the motion passed.
The meeting record shows no preregistered or walk‑in public commenters on these items. After the votes the LPA adjourned and the regular City Council meeting convened at 6:00 p.m.
