The project includes 2,193 housing units (age-restricted independent living, affordable, and market-rate), over 121,500 sq ft of ground-level commercial space, and redevelopment of Claude Pepper Park. This case is relevant if you are tracking large-scale mixed-use development approvals in North Miami or have interests in the Joe Celestin Global Planned Corridor Development overlay district.
17-124 — Mixed-use development
This case involves modification of a previously approved conditional use permit for a 27.67-acre mixed-use development at two adjacent North Miami properties. Developers should review whether changes to the existing permit terms could affect comparable projects or set precedent for future modifications in the area.
26-200 — Mixed-use: 14-story, 269-unit apartment building with 4,526 sq ft ground floor retail; 8-story, 317-unit apartment building; 2-story, 14-unit townhome development; 8-story, 940-space parking garage
This is a 600-unit mixed-use residential and retail development requiring conditional use permit approval under the SDTOD overlay district, which allows residential uses up to 150 dwelling units per acre through the CUP process. The project allocates 600 floating bonus units from the SDTOD pool and must comply with extensive conditions including DRC site plan approval, building permit filing within 18 months, lot unification, and LEED certification before occupancy.
17-122 — Mixed-use development: 14-story apartment building (269 units with 4,526 sq ft ground-floor retail), 8-story apartment building (317 units), 2-story townhome development (14 units), and 8-story parking garage (940 spaces)
This mixed-use residential project seeks a Conditional Use Permit to develop 600 residential units (269 apartments + 317 apartments + 14 townhomes) with 4,526 sq ft of ground-floor retail on 4.44 acres currently zoned M-1 Industrial. The project requires allocation of 600 bonus units under the SDTOD overlay and will generate significant tax revenues ($3.25M annually), construction jobs (2,831 short-term), and transform an industrial/warehouse area into a modern mixed-use development.
17-123 — Mixed use project consisting of 14-story, 269-unit apartment building with 4,526 square feet of ground floor retail space; 8-story, 317-unit apartment building; 2-story, 14-unit townhome development; and integrated 8-story parking garage with 940 parking spaces
This case seeks approval for a substantial mixed-use development on 4.44 acres involving 600 residential units (apartments and townhomes), ground-floor retail, and significant parking infrastructure across two parcels at NE 146th Street and the NE 20th Lane/NE 144th Street intersection. The project requires a conditional use permit under the City's land development regulations. Developers should assess whether this precedent or similar multi-story residential projects with retail integration align with their market positioning and development strategy in North Miami.
26-031 — other
This is a Land Development Regulation text amendment that sunsets the Downtown Action Plan Advisory Committee (DAPAC) and repeals its governing code provisions. The amendment does not change zoning, permitted uses, density, or intensity standards, and therefore has minimal direct impact on development projects. Developers should note this is an administrative code cleanup that affects city governance structure, not development entitlements or approvals.
17-121 — other
This case involves the repeal of Article 2, Division 4 of the North Miami Code of Ordinances, which will sunset the Downtown Action Plan Advisory Committee. The ordinance amends Chapter 29 (Land Development Regulations) and has no direct impact on zoning or land use entitlements for development projects.

22-504 — other
Case 22-504 involves a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application with multiple conditions including site plan approval requirements, traffic impact fees of $25,000 per year for 4 years, and sustainable building standards such as LEED certification.

25-726 — comprehensive_plan_amendment
This ordinance increases the allowable building height in the Biscayne Boulevard Planned Corridor from 110 feet to 210 feet for specific properties east of NE 18th Avenue and south of NE 123rd Street. The amendment enables mixed-use development with greater vertical density in this corridor area. Developers with properties in this affected zone may now pursue taller development projects without height variance requirements.
25-725 — Mixed-use development (properties south of NE 123rd Street, east of NE 18th Avenue)
This case involves a comprehensive plan and land development regulation amendment that increases the maximum allowable height from 110 feet to 210 feet for properties east of NE 18th Avenue and south of NE 123rd Street within the Biscayne Boulevard corridor. The change enables mixed-use development at significantly greater heights in this overlay district, potentially supporting higher-density urban infill projects. Developers considering projects in this Biscayne Boulevard corridor location should monitor the City Council adoption hearing for final approval.
25-713 — Indoor dry-stack boat storage facility (107 vessels) with maintenance of existing marina operations
This is a text amendment to North Miami's Land Development Regulations that would allow marinas, boatyards, and working waterfront uses to reach 55 feet in height (instead of the current 45-foot limit) in the Biscayne Boulevard commercial corridor between NE 131st and NE 135th Street. TNT Marine Center, Ltd. is proposing a 55-foot indoor dry-stack boat storage facility on their 4.378-acre C-2BE zoned working waterfront property at 1940 NE 135 Street to enhance their existing marina operations. The Planning Commission recommended approval and the City Council is adopting this amendment to preserve and strengthen the marine industry's economic viability in the area.
22-1261 — 195 residential units (multifamily development)
This case involves a conditional use approval for 150 units per acre and 200-foot height under the North Miami Transit Station Overlay District. The developer is seeking to increase density to 195 units on a 0.55-acre site currently zoned for lower-density office use, which will significantly impact land value and development feasibility in this transit-oriented district.
25-1632 — other
The City of North Miami is obtaining an appraisal of a 2,175 SF alley parcel (0.05 acres) zoned C-2BW with transit station and planned corridor overlays. This property is most useful as part of a larger parent tract and is positioned as a longer-term candidate for intensive mixed-use residential development in a revitalization-stage neighborhood.
25-715 — Future hotel or commercial development (specific use not yet formalized)
This case involves the City of North Miami's vacation and abandonment of a 15-foot public alleyway that bifurcates the subject property, enabling consolidation into a single development parcel. The applicant (1590 NE Holding LLC) seeks to acquire the abandoned alley to remove development constraints and facilitate potential hotel or commercial redevelopment in this commercial corridor. The abandonment is supported by the Planning Commission and is expected to increase property tax revenue and reduce city maintenance liability while preserving public access through alternative routes.

17-116 — other
