Board approves new exterior paint scheme for Valencia Condominium at 6001 SW 70th St
Summary
The City of South Miami Design Review Board approved an exterior renovation for Valencia Condominium Association at 6001 SW 70th Street, accepting a four‑color Sherwin‑Williams palette after board members requested clearer renderings and placement clarifications. The approval was unanimous and staff recommended conditions consistent with the code on color limits and accent percentage.
The City of South Miami Design Review Board on a unanimous vote approved an exterior paint scheme for the Valencia South Miami Condominium Association at 6001 Southwest 70th Street.
Staff planner Lourdes Cabrera summarized the proposal as an exterior renovation of the six‑story building proposing three body colors and one accent color, and said staff’s recommendation was for approval. Cabrera read the paint codes presented by the applicant, noting Sherwin‑Williams references and the code limit that trim and accents not exceed prescribed percentages: "The applicant is Valencia South Miami Condominium Association Inc. Property, owner Pedro Rodriguez. Location, 6001 Southwest 70th Street. The request is for exterior, exterior renovation." (staff)
Board members praised the palette but repeatedly requested clearer, full‑color renderings to show how the color fields would read on the building. Vice Chair Javier Vaina cautioned against changing colors on outside corners and described preferred placement of the darker accents; board member Vincent Bonacante clarified which numbered color applied to particular architectural elements. Rebecca Cruz said, "I really love the colors," and several members said they were comfortable approving with the clarifications made on the record.
Vice Chair Javier Vaina moved to approve the application "with the comments," and the motion was seconded; the roll call recorded five yes votes and the application was approved. The board closed public comment without speakers in chambers or on Zoom and thanked the applicants for their presentation. The board did not add conditions beyond staff’s listed requirements for code compliance and standard submittals.
The board’s approval allows the applicant to proceed toward building‑permit submittal; staff will track required submittals such as any tree/landscape documentation and final color samples if the board requests them for the file.
