The Miami Herald reported today that after almost 7 hours of public testimony, the City of Miami had a tie vote on Miami 21. Commissioners Spence Jones and Sarnoff voted for it and Commissioners Regalado and Sanchez voted against it. Angel Gonzales was absent. The defeat of this massive zoning reform was a setback to Mayor Manny Diaz’s legacy. It was hinted at in the article that it might come back for a vote.
