Dear Mayor Suarez and Commissioners,
As President of Buena Vista Heights Neighborhood Association, I am writing on behalf of the
Board of Directors and Residents in opposition of this massive up zoning request from T5-R
to T6-8-0 on the properties on NE 37th and 38th Streets (428, 430, 448 & 454 NE 38th
Street and 433, 441, and 457 NE 37th Street), east of Biscayne Boulevard.
This area is now residential with one and two-story buildings which is comprised of single-
family homes. The proposed new construction and density is completely out of character
with the surrounding area. This will cause the current traffic situation to become even
worse. Currently, certain times of day it is nearly impossible and dangerous to cross
Biscayne Boulevard and head south, not to mention the backlog of traffic exiting Julia Tuttle
at 38th Street. This traffic situation currently backs up as far as the 195 Highway, stopping
the flow of traffic in the first lane and exit ramp to Biscayne Boulevard. The infrastructure
cannot support the current situation.
The Board urges the Commission to follow the City of Miami's Planning Department
recommendation of DENIAL for this request.
