Political Cortadito: Coral Gables commission ok’s zoning shift for Crafts Section, not Miracle Mile

“Coral Gables commissioners approved the controversial zoning code update Tuesday — or a watered down version, taking out potential height increases, a reduction of parking restrictions, and the contentious changes proposed on Miracle Mile for more discussion.”
