All zoning will be set in midtown for height and density.

New CAP / Same CAPacity

Basically, I think it reclassifies Buena Vista’s status to allow more density… but keeps current density capacity in place.See line: “the effect of this ordinance on residential density will be to remove the cap [for Buena Vista]…” but then it says the capacity will remain.**

As long as they are pairing this transit solutions to accommodate that number of people, then great!

As a midtown owner, good but we need to amend for part of that giant grassy lot to be a park with shade trees as well.

I always wondered about that lot. It could be an amazing park and it needs a huge illuminated centerpiece sculpture in the middle!

Does anyone remember the insane park they built here with lagoons, ponds, etc? Then it was just ripped out with little to no explanation.

Why doesn’t downtown Miami have more ponds and lakes, like Central Park? That sounds so cool.

No, that lot is needed to help build those 2,000 more units.

Biscayne Park will never be Central Park because it only serves one row of billionaires who would rather spend tome on yachts. We need a large park in the center of each neighborhood and more pocket parks with ponds and trees to bring nature to a quickly transforming concrete city.

In reading the ordinance, it increases the cap which was 4,500 units.

Yes it seems to increase the cap (old Regional Activity Center designation) from 4500 residential units to 6654 residential units. So it can now have 2000 extra residential units.

That is how I read it too. However, I think it “maintains the established development capacity.” With the cap raised, I think it gives the city the ability to expand capacity, rather than outright expanding the capacity.

Organize

For those of you that live in Mid-Town, get up off your ……. And force the city to make that grassy area a park before they stick another high rise in it. Organize and get active.

From reading the links it increases density in the special district and increases the height allowed for mixed use development on some of the streets.

The regional activity center suppressed the density below the future land use/zoning but it also allowed for an increased intensity. The regional activity center is no longer needed by state law. This preserves the increased intensity but removes the density limitation so that density is ruled by the comprehensive plan/zoning, same as the rest of the city.
