Miami commissioners will also vote on a co-housing, micro-unit ordinance
This week, the Miami City Commission is set to vote on a series of zoning ordinances, including one related to medical marijuana dispensaries.
And a Miami Beach council will review changes to the redevelopment of the historic Versailles Aman Miami Beach property.
At Tuesday’s Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board meeting, developer Vlad Doronin’s Aman Resorts/OKO group is proposing changes to the lobby of the historic Versailles building at 3425 Collins Ave. Doronin, who owns Aman and OKO, is developing the project beachfront hotel and apartments with the property’s owner, billionaire Len Blavatnik of Access Industries. It is part of the Faena region.
The proposed lobby design calls for a darker marble terrazzo floor, a lowered and recessed ceiling, Art Deco screens, counters and furniture, according to the filing.
About two years ago, the city’s planning board approved an ordinance amending the Faena District’s overlay zoning code to allow a 221-foot tower. The Aman project, with a 56-key hotel and 23 luxury apartments, calls for the restoration of the existing 16-story Versailles building and a new 16-story addition. Construction is underway and the condo component is reportedly presold, sources told The Real Deal.
Versailles was designed by Roy France and completed in 1941.
In the city of Miami, commissioners on Thursday will vote on an ordinance that specifically states that medical marijuana facilities can operate. In 2016, Florida voters legalized medical marijuana, and a year later the Florida Legislature passed regulations for medical marijuana licensees. The state has given cities and counties the power to determine where the facilities can be located, even to ban them altogether.
The Miami City Commission will vote on whether to amend the zoning code to change the definition of “general commercial” to include medical marijuana dispensaries and dispensaries, create a definition of medical marijuana, and amend rules and regulations for where they can be placed in the city. The planning department recommends approval of the zoning change.
Commissioners will also adopt a condominium and micro-unit ordinance that sets regulations for such properties. Additionally, they will consider amending the Miami 21 zoning code to provide parking exemptions for projects where Opportunity Zones and transit-oriented development areas overlap.
In Coral Gables, the commission will vote Tuesday on a resolution that would direct the city manager and attorney to restart talks to annex the High Pines and Ponce Davis neighborhoods. Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago, who is also a real estate agent, supported the resolution.
