North Bay Village

Meeting

December 16, 2025

What happened

Statura summary

The biggest move was the fee hike package: the Village is updating administrative, building, and zoning fees in one shot, which is the cleanest way to raise the cost of getting work through the pipeline without changing the code itself. For anyone permitting, designing, or entitling projects in North Bay Village, that is the direct hit, because the Village is also pairing it with a broader land use cleanup that touches bonus height rules and the form based code. In practice, that means the cost of entitlement and the leverage around extra height are both being reset at the same time. The other real action was operational and capital spending. The Commission is moving a $562,262.09 award for Kennedy Causeway short term improvements to Arango Billboard and Construction, plus a $69,648.00 Vogel Park marine facility improvement proposal with Dock and Marine Construction. It also advanced a third amended solid waste interlocal with Miami Dade County, a second planning services amendment with Calvin, Giordano, and Associates, a no bid NBV Sup Club agreement at Pelican Harbor, a TDR solicitation, a vertiports and urban air mobility MOU, an FPL easement for Village Hall, and a site plan modification for a six story government facility at 1335 79th Street Causeway. The procedural items, reports, proclamations, and minutes are mostly housekeeping; the only other policy item with teeth is the new reasonable accommodation procedure in the land development code, which sets a formal path for requests and will matter when applicants start using it.

Key decisions

  1. Updated fee schedule for administrative services, building fees, and zoning fees
    Pending

    Updates the Village's fee schedule for core permitting and zoning services, which raises the cost of processing development and administrative work.

  2. Amendments to bonus height and form based code provisions
    Pending

    Changes the bonus height rules and related form based code tables, which resets how much extra density or height applicants can seek.

  3. Amending Chapter 31 to establish various Village departments
    Pending

    Reorganizes the Village code to formally establish departments, which changes internal administration rather than land use rights.

  4. Extensions of approvals for temporary structures in the Kennedy Boulevard District
    Pending

    Extends approval periods for temporary structures in the Kennedy Boulevard District, which gives existing temporary uses more runway.

  5. Reasonable accommodation procedures in the land development code
    Pending

    Creates a formal process for reasonable accommodation requests, which gives applicants a defined path to seek code relief.

  6. Kennedy Causeway Complete Streets short term improvements project
    Pending

    Awards the short term improvements contract to Arango Billboard and Construction for up to $562,262.09, which moves transportation work from planning into execution.

  7. Vogel Park marine facility improvements
    Pending

    Approves a $69,648.00 proposal from Dock and Marine Construction and authorizes negotiation, which advances park facility work into contracting.

  8. Third amended interlocal agreement with Miami Dade County for solid waste management system use
    Pending

    Updates the county solid waste agreement, which locks in the Village's access to the regional disposal system under revised terms.

  9. Second amendment to Calvin, Giordano, and Associates general planning services agreement
    Pending

    Extends or revises the Village's planning consultant contract, which keeps outside planning support in place for code and project review.

  10. Purchase and sale of transferable density rights
    Pending

    Awards the TDR solicitation and authorizes negotiation, which sets up a market mechanism for moving development rights rather than adding them on site.
