Meeting

The biggest move on the table was the ordinance to update Chapter 11, Historic Preservation. That is the one item that changes the rules, not just the conversation, and it matters because it rewrites the village's preservation playbook for property owners and anyone trying to alter older buildings. The practical read is simple: if you own, buy, renovate, or represent historic property in Miami Shores, this is the item that can change your approval path and your leverage with staff and council. The other substantive items were more about structure and control than headlines. Council also took up an ordinance to create an enterprise fund for the Miami Shores Country Club, which is a clean accounting move that separates club revenues and spending from the rest of village finances and makes the club easier to track as its own business line. The Barry University item is a land use and covenant release discussion tied to the campus master plan and university parking master plan, which signals that the real fight is about what restrictions get lifted and what flexibility Barry gains on its properties. The Doctors Charter School donation agreement is a straightforward transfer item, while the age friendly action plan update and the March 17 minutes were informational or routine.

Key decisions

1. Amending Chapter 11, Historic Preservation

   Pending

   Updates the village's historic preservation rules, which directly affects how owners and developers can alter historic properties and how much discretion the village keeps.

2. Establishing an Enterprise Fund for the Miami Shores Country Club

   Pending

   Creates a separate fund for all country club revenues and expenditures, isolating the club's finances and making its operations easier to track and manage as a distinct enterprise.

3. Barry University Campus Master Plan and University Parking Master Plan Letter of Intent and Release of Covenants

   Pending

   Reviews approval of a letter of intent and covenant release tied to Barry's campus and parking plans, which is the mechanism that can loosen property restrictions and expand development flexibility.

4. Charitable Donation Agreement with Doctors Charter School of Miami Shores

   Pending

   Approves a donation agreement with the school, which formalizes a village transfer to a local nonprofit and sets the terms of that support.

5. Miami Shores Village Age Friendly Action Plan Update

   Pending

   Provides an update on the age friendly action plan, which is informational and signals policy direction rather than binding action.

6. Approval of the March 17, 2026 Village Council Meeting Minutes

   Pending

   Approves the prior meeting minutes, which is routine housekeeping and does not change policy or spending.
