Miami 21 Gets Approval. By Geniusofdespair

Commissioner Tomas Regalado cast the only NO vote on the new City zoning code, called Miami 21. There has to be a confirmation vote by the Commission to make it official.

Re. Miami commissioners approve Miami 21 zoning code

Before the vote Joe Sanchez was trying to make the point about our present zoning code known as 11,000 being at fault for the disaster that our city is in. He used a photo of a very tall condo building inappropriately built next door to a single family house. He somehow forgot to mention that most of the condos built in this way where authorized by himself, Gonzalez and Spence-Jones. The zoning is not at fault for our quilt of mismatched projects and the devastation they have brought on our neighborhoods. The fault is with the Commissioners that allowed this mess to happen with inappropriate overlay districts, variances and special permits. Harry Emilio Gottlieb

Of note,
Spence-Jones, Sarnoff, and Regalado were the yes votes for the 35-foot height restriction.

Vote them all out. The voters are to blame, and the voters are the answer.

There is nothing wrong with the current 11,000 Zoning Code. It is the "deer caught in the headlights zoombies" in the Planning Department and the idiot commissioners who regularly grant special exceptions and variances. Miami 21 could be far worse with much less public scrutiny of changes and favors granted to special interests and campaign contributors.

Miami 21 could cause Miami's recession (depression) to last longer than if the current code was maintained.

Miami 21 is another bad idea from Manny "I love concrete" Diaz.

Another bad idea like his "vision" to give over $4 billion to the privately owned Marlins, his seeming inability to realize Miami is facing a $118 mil deficit, his "Fire Fee Fiasco", his giveaways to the fire union and his giveaway handing over Bicentennial Park to two broke museums. The list goes on.
