Historic Preservation Meeting

The City of Coral Gables Historic Preservation Board held a meeting on June 18, 2026, focusing primarily on historic designation and certificate of appropriateness (COA) applications for properties within the city. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of a local historic designation for the property at 1624 Granada Boulevard, recognizing its architectural and cultural significance. The board also approved the renewal of a COA for demolition and new construction at 1256 South Greenway Drive, allowing the applicant to proceed with building permits. Additionally, the board approved design proposals and issuance of COAs for additions and alterations at 808 Majorca Avenue, including a variance for flat roof design. Discussions included procedural clarifications on COA and variance expiration periods and upcoming budget considerations for historic design guideline updates. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but the board noted potential funding for consultant services related to design guideline revisions.
