Votes at a glance: Planning board approves height‑bonus amendment and waiver‑of‑plat ordinance
Summary
The board approved the height‑bonus amendment (4‑0) and Ordinance 96b (waiver‑of‑plat) by roll call; staff will confirm TDR counts and implement development‑agreement templates and the new waiver process.
Key votes taken by the North Bay Village Planning & Zoning Board:
• Height‑bonus amendment: Motion to approve the amendment as presented (including staff/sponsor comments); roll call recorded 4‑0 in favor. The amendment allows consideration of additional bonus height for projects that dedicate waterfront public open space, subject to a minimum 3.5‑acre contiguous site, TDR receipt, maximizing bonus height under section 8.12.b.2, and an approved development agreement; public benefits include a minimum 7,000 sq ft of waterfront open space and a parks enhancement contribution.
• Ordinance 96b (waiver‑of‑plat): Motion to adopt Ordinance 96b to create section 5.231 providing a waiver‑of‑plat process consistent with Miami‑Dade County Code §28‑4; roll call recorded 4‑0 in favor. Staff clarified the waiver addresses platting procedures only and does not change density or land‑use entitlements.
Staff follow‑ups recorded in the meeting: confirm remaining TDR inventory and circulate a confirmed count; prepare development‑agreement templates incorporating open‑space, maintenance and insurance requirements and the parks enhancement contribution mechanism; prepare applicant guidance for the new plat waiver process.
