Hialeah planning board tables multiple rezoning/map-amendment items for re-advertising or at applicants' request

At its April 29 meeting the City of Hialeah Planning and Zoning Board tabled or removed from the agenda several map-amendment and rezoning items so they can be re-advertised or so applicants can return with revisions.

Staff and the clerk explained that a notice issue required re-advertising for a small-scale map amendment (LU-1) concerning a proposal to change 2295 West 4th Court from commercial (C-2) to medium-density residential (R-33). The applicant asked that the item be tabled; after a motion by "mister Yoast" and a second by "mister Iglesias," the board tabled LU-1 until the May 13, 2026 meeting.

A companion rezoning item (Item 2) was marked for no action/withdrawn from the agenda so it could be re-advertised and placed on a future agenda. Staff repeatedly clarified that the item cannot move forward without proper re-advertising.

Separately, applications affecting properties at 510 and 520 East 49th Street — including a repeal of Ordinance No. 2025-067, release of restrictive covenants, rezoning from R-1 and RO to OPS, and several variances (parking reduction, front-located parking, and reduced pervious area) — were presented by applicant Frank de la Paz. He asked for a table until the May 13 meeting so the applicant could determine whether to move forward or modify the project; the board granted the request.

Where notice or procedural requirements prevent a decision, the clerk and staff repeatedly stated the board will take no action and the items will return after proper re-advertising. The planning board's recommendations on these land-use items will be forwarded to the City Council for its scheduled review.
