REMOVING ROW DESIGNATION NW 9 AVENUE AND BOB HOPE ROAD

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Resolution removing the designation for public road right-of-way from a portion of Miami-Dade County-owned property at the intersection of NW 9 Avenue and Bob Hope Road, south of NW 15 Street, in the City of Miami, in Section 35, Township 53 South, Range 41 East. The property was designated as public road right-of-way for Highland Park Drive (also known as Bob Hope Road) by Resolution No. R-942-79 on July 17, 1979. The removal enables the County to sell the parcel at full market value. The University of Miami seeks to acquire the parcel in conjunction with redevelopment of adjacent properties. The resolution was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on 7/21/2026. The file number is 260865, reference R-637-26. The prime sponsor is Keon Hardemon. The Transportation Cmte forwarded it to the BCC with a favorable recommendation on 6/9/2026. The resolution authorizes the County Mayor or designee to take all actions necessary to effectuate the removal. The abutting private property owner has initiated road closing proceedings with the City of Miami for the portion of NW 9 Avenue adjacent to the subject parcel. The closing of that segment of NW 9 Avenue between NW 15 Street and State Road 836 will result in the underlying land becoming incorporated into the abutting University of Miami property. The subject parcel is not needed for public right-of-way since the physical roadway and sidewalk it includes serves only as a connection to the adjacent segment of NW 9 Avenue proposed for closure. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
