Title
A Resolution of the Coral Gables Transportation Advisory Board requesting that the City Commission direct City staff to investigate the continued feasibility of the Gables Redevelopment and Infill District (GRID) and requesting appropriate action be taken following such investigation.
Body
In 1995, the City Commission adopted ordinance 3148 which amended the then current Comprehensive Plan and added a concurrency exception area within the Gables Redevelopment and Infill District “GRID”.
This ordinance created a policy whereby a proposed development will not be denied a concurrency approval for transportation facilities provided that the development is otherwise consistent with the adopted concurrency plan, is located within the GRID and directly and significantly promotes public transportation by incorporating within the development certain transportation stations, or is located within one-quarter mile of certain transportation stations.
The GRID boundaries currently cover the areas indicated in the attached map.
The Transportation Advisory Board believes that the GRID may be outdated and recommends that the City Commission direct City staff to review and possibly revise the GRID so that it meets the City’s current needs.
