On March 15, 2023, the City of Miami Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board (PZAB) voted 6 to 3 to uphold an appeal filed regarding the County’s demolition waiver for the Coconut Grove Playhouse. This will delay implementation of the project. It is important to point out the following:
The symbol was developed by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs’ All Kids Included inclusive arts initiative.
With litigation resolved, work is underway on the Coconut Grove Playhouse project. The City of Miami has approved Miami-Dade County’s submission of a demolition waiver, which exclusively addresses the issue of trees on the property. As the next step in the process, the County has submitted a demolition permit which is being reviewed by the City.
