Presentation

2:36 → 6:21(3m 45s)

Staff (Mark Alvarez) summarized PB-2026-020, the Somi Walk project (addresses given) and said the amendment is an internal change seeking to increase bedroom count within approved units. He reported the project remains under the 200 units-per-acre density cap and that the developer would need to update the traffic study and may have to mitigate additional trips. Staff noted parking would increase from 194 to 218 spaces using lifts and valet, and noted existing waivers previously granted by commission would be affected (parking waiver moves from ~31% to ~32% fewer spaces).

The City of South Miami Design Review Board met to consider three development applications: a late-stage amendment to the Somi Walk multiunit project seeking to increase bedroom count; two single-family new-construction applications with conditions focused on tree protection, setbacks and pool perimeter; the board approved all three items with conditions and accepted meeting minutes.
