Miami commissioners are one move from banning new gambling within the city, and that could come today (1/27).

On the agenda is legislation to amend Miami 21 zoning “to prohibit gambling facilities.” The measure is scheduled for a second and final vote. In July 2021, the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board recommended the ban on a 6-3 vote.

The proposal made it past its first hurdle in October as the commission voted for adoption…

The proposal notes the commission has considered whether it “will further the goals, objectives, and policies of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, the Miami 21 Code, and other applicable City regulations.”
