PRESERVATION (CONT’D)
Developer renderings proposed for Ocean Terrace.
From page 11
million in real estate – and more than $700k in
getting the ballot measure approved.
In an almost perfect repeat of the events of
1997, the concerns of Miami Beach residents
about the development of their town prevailed
over the desires of developers for building the
highest-yielding investment. On November
3rd 2015 the FAR increase was emphatically
opposed by a margin of 55% to 45%, with 18
of 24 city precincts voting NO.
Save Miami Beach leaves a legacy
of democracy, voter empowerment, and
constructive action, which clearly lives on.
MDPL remains committed to protecting the
residents’ voices and the integrity of the historic
districts and resources throughout Miami Beach.
Special thanks to the North Shore Historic
District Neighborhood Association, Fairway
Park Neighborhood Association, citizens of
North Beach, and neighbors around Miami
Beach who worked tirelessly on these efforts.
