Board of Adjustment Meeting - 06/17/2026

The North Miami Board of Adjustment held a meeting on June 17, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on two special exception and variance requests. The first was a special exception to authorize a vocational school use at 12975 West Dixie Highway, which was unanimously approved. The second involved a special exception and variance to permit an automobile retail showroom and sales use on four vacant parcels at the corner of Northeast 123rd Street and Northeast 15th Avenue. The variance was to allow the use on properties smaller than the required one-acre minimum lot size. Staff recommended approval for both requests, citing compliance with city codes and alignment with the comprehensive plan. The project includes a six-story commercial building with showroom, offices, and concealed parking, designed to minimize neighborhood impact. Conditions related to sidewalks, drainage, and floodproofing were noted. The board discussed the legislative background, operational design, and community benefits, and the items will proceed to city council for final approval due to the project size. No votes against the vocational school were recorded, and the variance request was supported by staff and the applicant's representatives. The meeting also included procedural matters such as appointment of a vice chair and approval of minutes.
