The City of Miami Historic and Environmental Preservation Board (HEPB) March 5th Vote

Last night, Tuesday, March 5, 2019, the City of Miami Historic and Environmental Preservation Board (HEPB) voted 6-4 to deny Miami-Dade County’s application for a special certificate of appropriateness for the Coconut Grove Playhouse revival project. Although we are disappointed with the Board’s decision, our commitment to revitalizing the Playhouse and returning great theater to Coconut Grove is as strong as it has ever been. We continue moving forward with the project and will be appealing this unfortunate decision to the City of Miami Commission.

Coconut Grove Playhouse Item Rescheduled by the City of Miami Historic and Environmental Preservation Board (HEPB)

The County-FIU plan for the Coconut Grove Playhouse was scheduled to be heard by the City of Miami Historic and Environmental Preservation Board (HEPB) on February 5, 2019. HEPB members reported having technical difficulty accessing the electronic agenda materials that were submitted by the County in December 2018. Consequently, the HEPB voted to defer the Playhouse item and the entire public hearing to the next month’s meeting on March 5, 2019. The project will be the first item on this agenda.
