CDMP & Zoning

Thursday, June 18, 2026

What happened

Statura summary

The committee’s agenda was dominated by land-use and zoning files, especially a cluster of Comprehensive Development Master Plan amendments and rezonings tied to private development proposals. The biggest substantive action was to defer the BlueNest Development package — both the transmittal resolution and the companion ordinance/supplemental materials for the Quail Roost-area site — after Kionne L. McGhee moved it and Danielle Cohen Higgins seconded it; both items went 13-0 to defer. That keeps the proposed CDMP change alive but pushes the decision to a later meeting, which matters for anyone tracking development timelines in the southwest county pipeline. A second land-use item, Acorn 27, LLC’s self-storage/mixed-use proposal at NW 27 Avenue and NW 93 Street, also got deferred on an 11-0 vote, with Vicki L. Lopez moving and Oliver G. Gilbert, III seconding; Hardemon and Gonzalez were absent for that item. The John P. & Sosamma Thomas rezoning in District 9 likewise was deferred 13-0, again moved by McGhee and seconded by Cohen Higgins. Several other CDMP and zoning files remained pending, including the Biscayne Shores, Mikhail Chabanov, Brickell, Kendall, and Archdiocese-related cases. Watch for the BlueNest CDMP items returning at the next scheduled hearing date once staff and the applicant finish the revised record.
