Southwest 7th Street Corridor duplex zoning
Summary
The city wants to legalize the duplex pattern already existing along Southwest 7th Street by upzoning 55 properties from T3-L to T3-O and amending the future land use map. Residents could build two-family homes; the change also buffers the Tamiami Trail commercial strip from single-family blocks to the north.
