An Ordinance of the City Commission amending Ordinance No. 1952, as amended, which changed the zoning on Lots 1, 2, 3, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 Block 120 and Lots 1 thru 5, Block 131, Country Club Section 6, (430, 440, 450, and 520 University Drive), Coral Gables, Florida, to remove certain conditions of approval for Lots 1 thru 5, Block 131 (520 University Drive): (1) that limit the use of the property to overflow parking, and (2), that revert the zoning of the property under certain circumstances to single-family zoning; all other conditions of approval contained in Ordinance No. 1952 shall remain in effect. (05 20 26 PZB recommended approval with recommendations, Vote: 5-2)

The City Commission of Coral Gables has approved an ordinance that changes zoning conditions for several lots. This ordinance affects Lots 1, 2, 3, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 in Block 120 and Lots 1 through 5 in Block 131, located at 430, 440, 450, and 520 University Drive. Specifically, the approval removes conditions that limited the use of Lots 1 through 5 (520 University Drive) to overflow parking and that could revert the zoning to single-family use. All other previously approved conditions will remain. This approval means the property owner, Robert Behar, can now proceed with plans that are not restricted to overflow parking. The project is approved, indicating it is past the review stage. The work involved would likely focus on site preparation and potential construction or renovation, depending on the owner's future plans for the property. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas like site preparation, general construction, and potentially specialized trades could find opportunities as the property owner moves forward. Early engagement with the property owner may provide insight into their specific needs and timelines.
