The city of Miami is considering zoning changes in Little Havana that would permit up to 150 housing units per acre and buildings up to eight stories tall, HousingWire reported. The proposal follows a decade-long planning effort and contains no mandate for affordable housing. [1]
The proposed zoning rules are developing alongside state laws, including Florida's 2023 Live Local Act, which was revised for the third time this year, according to HousingWire. New design guidelines and required state reviews could lengthen project approval timelines for prospective developers. [1]
Little Havana is a Miami neighborhood known as home to many Cuban exiles alongside immigrants from Central and South America. It is named after Havana, the capital city of Cuba. [2]
City planning staff and local officials will continue discussions over the coming months to address apartment density and regulatory details, HousingWire reported. [1]
