Little River Enhanced TSND master plan

A 70-year-old family business that warehouses mom-and-pop shops in Little River supported the project but urged the board to protect the small lots left outside the master plan, suggesting an overlay or lot-line-to-lot-line build rights so they aren't stranded.

A resident of 7522 NW 1st Avenue said he and his neighbors learned little about the plan despite 13 public meetings, asked for clarity on his own parcel's future, and raised concerns about displacement, rising property crime, businesses mismatched with area incomes, and unprotected bats.

The co-owner of Sites One and Three said no 40-story buildings are planned there, pledged over $100 million for infrastructure including new sewer loops, said $30 million is already invested, and promised one-for-one replacement housing without displacing existing tenants.

Speaking from 7338 NW Miami Court, he said AJ Capital has invested over $200 million in the neighborhood and is committed to staying and building there.
