Support Resident-at-Large for Resident Concerns

Tues, Oct 20th - Proposal to Include two resident focused members as "Resident-at-Large" on each of the zoning boards. WAvNA SUPPORTS

If you believe that our City should use zoning to preserve residential quality of life by controlling zones for entertainment, live music, hours of alcohol sales, etc., this is a great opportunity to speak up and advocate for a more balanced approach that focuses on resident safety and quality of life.

By appointing more residents and less developers and those employed by the hotel, entertainment, & real estate industry, we can shift the focus to be more resident-focused.

Miami Beach United recently proposed that each Land Use board include two Residents-at-Large members- ideally people who are community leaders with a history of advocating on behalf of residents.

We STRONGLY urge residents make time to advocate for this initiative by voicing their opinion at the zoom meeting (see below) and emailing Mayor Gelber and fellow Commissioners:
