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 located 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 will enable 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 July 21, 2026. The Transportation Committee forwarded it to the Board with a favorable recommendation on June 9, 2026. The resolution authorizes the County Mayor or designee to take all actions necessary to effectuate the removal. The file number is 260865, reference R-637-26. The prime sponsor is Commissioner Keon Hardemon. The staff recommendation is from Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. The responsible entity is the Department of Transportation and Public Works, with Maria D. Molina, P.E., Chief, Right-of-Way Division, as the monitor. There is no fiscal impact. 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, between NW 15 Street and State Road 836. The closing would result in the underlying land becoming incorporated into the abutting University of Miami property. The document does not state the exact acreage or square footage of the parcel.
