UM and Coral Gables sign 20-year development agreement BY LAURA EDWINS | MANAGING EDITOR
A
t a campus that has seen enormous growth since it was first imagined 84 years ago in a city that is notoriously difficult to build in, an agreement has been struck that will determine the University of Miami’s future for the decades to come. On Aug. 11 the Coral Gables Planning and Zoning Board passed a new development initiative that will provide the university with greater clarity as to where they can build and how they can expand over the next 20 years.
The new development agreement will affect multiple projects already proposed on campus and re-zones the campus as a whole. Major changes will include the approval for an additional 1,830 seats and the sale of alcohol at the BankUnited Center, the re-zoning of the area in front of the BUC, now known as the Serpentine parking lot, for commercial and private development and the five-year postponement of the controversial internal road, originally planned to cut through the Gifford Arboretum.
