Land Use and Sustainability Committee 11.10.26

The City of Miami Beach Land Use and Sustainability Committee meeting, titled November 10, 2026, considered two items; several other agenda items had been deferred. The committee deferred a proposed land-development regulation amendment allowing a temporary sales center for the 1250 West Avenue project on the former Bikini Hostel site. Members sought revised options for the site’s design and public use, including reconsideration of the proposed sculpture park and parking. The item was deferred to the November 24 meeting; no contract or procurement award was made.

The committee also discussed possible incentives for living seawalls on private property and their use in city capital projects. Staff reported a pilot at 60th Street and Pine Tree and said 12 seawall projects were in design, with consultants asked to assess living seawall panels. Discussion included possible permit-expediting measures, building-fee waivers, and adding living seawall designs to the Public Works manual; staff will return with more details, and the item was continued to the next meeting. No incentive or spending decision was approved. Staff also noted an existing private-property adaptation program offering up to $20,000 for eligible projects, including seawall reconstruction.
