Miami-Dade Commission District 7 · Kendall (unincorporated)

4 rezoning applications could reshape our estate blocks.

Two things: awareness and transparency. This site puts everything about the rezonings targeting this neighborhood in one place and keeps it current, so every neighbor understands exactly what is happening at all times, and so Commissioner Regalado and every other official hears, clearly and on the record, that this neighborhood is informed, organized, and paying close attention.

The stakes

One approval opens the floodgates

Four applications are already filed, and they are detailed at the bottom of this page. But they are not the ceiling. Every parcel in the corridor bands, within a half-mile of Kendall Drive or US1, carries the same density entitlement theory. The first approval becomes the comparable every following applicant cites: once the board finds a 65-unit building “compatible” with this block, denying the next one on compatibility grounds gets harder, then harder again.

That's how an estate neighborhood converts, not in one vote but one parcel at a time. The block record already shows the pattern: one owner has assembled three parcels and filed two rezonings; interpretation letters are queued on more.

The first approval sets the precedent for every parcel near the corridor. This is about whether the neighborhood converts, one lot at a time.

The single most important action

Hearings

  1. 1

    Appear and testify at the hearing. This is the strongest action a resident can take. In-person, fact-based testimony is competent substantial evidence the Board must weigh.

  2. 2

    Send a written objection. The next strongest action, and it takes two minutes with the tool below.

Monitoring

No hearing scheduled yet.

The county has not set a date. This site checks the county twice a day and will post the date here the moment it is public. If you want an email the day a hearing is scheduled, opt in when you send your objection below.

The second strongest action

Object in two minutes

This tool writes four individualized objection letters (one for each application, addressed to the right county planner and the record inbox) using your own words and address. Identical form letters are discounted at a quasi-judicial hearing; individual, fact-based letters carry weight. And objections are counted per person, not per home: every adult in your household can file their own.

One more way to help

927 neighbors have already objected.

If you would like to do more, our GoFundMe funds the legal effort to oppose these rezonings.

At checkout, GoFundMe suggests a tip to GoFundMe itself, preset to a percentage and separate from your donation. You can set it to any amount, including zero, so your full gift goes to the legal fund.

Why this matters

The problem

The change sought is the same across all four applications: to RMD (multifamily) on estate blocks zoned EU-M (estate single-family (~15,000 sf lots)).

Derived from objections submitted through this site, refreshed hourly and counted once per household. Concern categories come from keyword matching on the written observations of those 530 households and overlap (one letter can raise several). The street span covers addresses that map to a numbered cross street. Also raised: flooding and drainage (7%), parking (5%), sidewalks (5%), construction (4%).

The process

Decision process

These are quasi-judicial zoning hearings. The parcels fall in Community Council Area 12 (Kendall), which sits as the Community Zoning Appeals Board (CZAB, established by Miami-Dade Code Sec. 33-323) and decides these applications on the hearing record and testimony, not on politics. Certain decisions can be appealed to the Board of County Commissioners.

Everything on file

The four applications

Each application's public record is pulled straight from the county file and tracked on its card. Continental Flats groups both of its case numbers; the fourth application (Z2026000118) was found by this site's parcel sweep on July 3.

This site watches the county's public record for every application it tracks and updates itself. New memos, status changes, denial recommendations, and approvals surface here automatically, and hearing dates appear in the Hearings section the moment they are set, so the neighborhood can show up to oppose them.
