Volunteer to Serve

In a City as vibrant and dynamic as Miami Beach, the decisions made by our Land Use Boards play a crucial role in shaping the future landscape of our community. From preserving our rich architectural heritage to guiding responsible development, these boards are at the forefront of ensuring a sustainable and thriving City for generations to come. The City’s Land Use Boards are comprised of the Board of Adjustment, the Design Review Board, the Historic Preservation Board, and the Planning Board.

Recently, the City Commission took a proactive step towards enhancing the diversity and expertise of our Land Use Boards. Recognizing the importance of having professionals with practical experience in architecture and landscape architecture, the Mayor and City Commission accepted the recommendation of the Land Use and Sustainability Committee to implement enhanced recruitment strategies.

But why stop there when we can tap into the wealth of talent and passion within our own community? That is where you come in. We are calling on all residents who are passionate about shaping the future of Miami Beach to consider volunteering for our Land Use Boards.
