The Miami Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board (PZAB) met on October 7, 2026, at 11:30 AM to consider several agenda items, including the creation of an entertainment district in Allapattah, amendments to the zoning code to allow multiple principal buildings per lot in T4 zones, and a pilot program for off-site advertising on construction fencing. The board deferred two items and voted on three major proposals, all of which were approved with additional recommendations.
Great work on our behalf. They risked their lives. They left their families and they rescued people. I received them on Monday morning and they were talking about the amount of powers that they were working. They were talking about 16 hours, 18 hours in one day sleeping on a tank. I think they deserve what they got today. They deserve these because they did a fantastic job. Remember, they were saving lives in Venezuela. And we're thankful for the services that they provided to the people of Venezuela. 80 brave and courageous men and women representing our fire rescue department, additional engineers and some doctors. What they did over there in Caracas and the rest of Venezuela was incredibly heroic. They helped to save a life and they helped many people that absolutely needed in one of the worst times of their life. This is a super great event that we just pulled off in in very little time. Big shout out to Major Ramos and to Carlos from the Omni. We came together to be able to host this event very fast for Venezuela as it's been impacted on a very high level. And so it was my priority to make sure that we could bring the community together to be able to get back to Venezuela and do this run in conjunction for them. Every community has a run club, but we didn't have one here in the downtown Omni area. So we got together with a small business in our area, Boxer Gym. We're supporting the small businesses like we do throughout our district, along with building the community and getting the residents activated in this area was to collect goods for Venezuela. So we're collecting all week long at Boxer Gym and those will be delivered to them at the end of the week. Omni is all about supporting our small businesses and communities. This is a great example of a business that is all about community. And we're all getting here together today to support Venezuela and collect as many items as we can to help out over there. So we couldn't be happier. Amazing event to bring awareness to an amazing cause. We are here, boots on the ground, Miami PD, Miami Fire, members of our community, everyone coming together for an amazing cause and bring awareness resources. Here as a husband, as a father, as a human being for an important matter. Community coming together, the city of Miami. You know, sometimes people say the world is dark, but to see this, some light might spark something even bigger in our country. If you're unsure of what is needed for the project, you can always come down to 444 Southwest 2nd Avenue on the first floor, and we can guide you on what documents are needed and also what are the standards that the city requires and the minimal requirements for whatever project you are taking on the No dejes que los huracanes they tomorrow.
