WHO SHOULD SIGN THIS PETITION?

All “Kings Creek Village” residents (including renters) and property owners… who are part of our Kings Creek Area community in East Kendall - within southwest Miami-Dade County, Florida.

YOUR signed Petition can make a difference!


WHY SIGN THIS "new" 2018 PETITION ?

We must STOP plans by the NEW Owner of our neighborhood’s “Kings Creek Shopping Plaza” which will destroy our Quality of Life and will lower our Property Values. The Owner’s original plans for an Assisted Living Facility (ALF) have recently been cancelled due to opposition by neighbors in a similar Petition signed by over 400 persons. Instead, the Owner/ Developer now proposes a massive 54-unit townhouse project which will alter Kings Creek Village’s “Master Plan” as built in 1974. In addition, Developer still plans for a mega 4-story commercial complex and 4-story parking garage… all of which will bring increased traffic and negatively change our quiet neighborhood forever!

If YOU and other neighbors “speak up” by signing this Petition NOW… we can STOP the NEW Owner’s plans!

(Due to the cancellation of the ALF, our prior SUCCESSFUL 2016 Petition has been replaced with this NEW 2018 PETITION which addresses the Owner's latest plans - as of Dec. 22, 2017)


**********************************************************************************************************

BY SIGNING THIS “SAVE Kings Creek Village - Neighbors Petition”, I AM STATING THE FOLLOWING:

NO to any County Zoning change or variance from the existing BU-1 Code allowing for a small 2-story Neighborhood Convenience Center (what we have now at Kings Creek Village)… and which is part of a balanced “Master Planned Community” mix of 1,593 condos, townhomes, and single-family homes.

NO to planned new massive 4-story commercial buildings; instead keep buildings at same size as now.

NO to planned 4-story parking garage for 355 cars – a huge ugly structure likely to attract crime.

NO to planned massive 54-unit townhouse project, 4-stories each, altering our KCV “Master Plan”.

NO to planned gigantic increase in total square footage of construction from existing 45,092 S.F. to approx. 312,560 S.F. – SEVEN times LARGER than existing buildings – eliminating most open/green spaces, and reducing drastically the setbacks from property lines as required by the Zoning Code.

NO to increase in traffic through our residential streets, including SW 79th and SW 87th Avenues which already have major backups, and are a nightmare during peak hours.

YES to preserving our friendly neighborly Kings Creek Village atmosphere… enjoyed by us since 1974.

YES to keeping small convenience stores, restaurants & professional offices that serve the needs of Kings Creek residents – an essential part in the “Master Plan” mix of our Planned Community.

YES to getting support for this “Kings Creek Village - Neighbors Petition” from our elected homeowner associations’ directors, Community Zoning Appeals Board #12 & our County Commissioners.

YES to re-development of “Kings Creek Shopping Plaza” by its new owner, but ONLY in a manner that will preserve the unique small-scale character of our “Master Planned Community”.

*******************************************************************************************************

NOTE: Each adult person in a household should sign a separate Petition. Please DO NOT SIGN the Online Petition if you already signed the "NEW 2018 printed paper version" of this same Petition which is also circulating. Both formats are equally valid. Please encourage your neighbors to sign also!


This Petition was initiated by Alfredo Manrara and other concerned volunteer Kings Creek Village neighbors, not by any homeowners' association. It is a grassroots effort by WE the People!

OUR GOAL is to reach a minimum of 500 signed Petitions - to be then submitted to the Miami-Dade County decision-makers to convince them that the Zoning Code BU-1 should NOT be changed... and that the size of any new buildings should remain the SAME as those built in 1974!

I love how the neighborhood the way it is from its green areas to peaceful evenings. A high rise building is only going to bring disadvantages to the community and there’s barely any parking as it is, only person profiting from this is the property management and builders. Say NO to over development that have already plagued Miami

I just moved here and love only being 5 minutes away from work and barley traffic . That high rise will add more traffic more people and more cars we don’t need in an already packed parking areas.

South Florida is swamped with over development! Kings Creek is one of the few beautiful communities that isn't - let's keep it that way!

The current roads are 2 lanes for one mile going south and east. These roads were not meant for and eight story commercial building

I want Kings Creek Village to remain the same it has been for 40 years... with small convenience stores, restaurants & professional offices that serve it's immediate neighbors... not big buildings and more traffic that will destroy our friendly atmosphere. I love living in Kings Creek... it's a Jewel that we must protect. NO to any zoning change!
