This is to give notice that the Miami-Dade County Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) under Federal Regulation 24 CFR Part 58 has determined the following proposed actions under the United States Housing Act of 1937 is located in a 100-year floodplain. Miami-Dade County will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the action in a floodplain and the potential impacts on the floodplain from the proposed action, as required by Executive Order 11988, in accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations in 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands. The proposed action is described as follows: Scattered Sites 9D and 11D Demolition: The Scattered Sites 9D and 11D Demolition project of public housing sites will consist of the demolition of former multi-family residential housing structures that were constructed in 1970. All residential units are vacant. Historical records indicate that these properties were used for residential purposes since initial development in 1924. Both properties underwent incremental development between the 1920s and the 1970s, with the current residential structures constructed in 1970. The buildings are aged and in a state of disrepair, therefore, demolition is being proposed to allow for future redevelopment. The subject properties are located at 3169 NW 21st Avenue, Miami, FL 33136 / Folio No. 01- 3127-078-0010 (Scattered Site 9D) and 1919 NW 29th Street, Miami, FL 33136 / Folio No. 01-3127-077-0010 (Scattered Site 11D) and consist of two non-contiguous parcels. The properties contain a total of 1.72 acres. Scattered Site 9D is located on the southwest corner of NW 32nd Street and NW 21st Avenue and is developed with four residential apartment buildings. Scattered Site 11D is located on the southwest corner of NW 30th Street and NW 19th Avenue and is developed with one residential building. The properties associated with the Scattered Site 9D and 11D Demolition project are located within the AE (EL 9 Feet) 100-year floodplain in accordance with Flood Insurance Rate Map Panel No. 12086C0311L, effective 9/11/09. The proposed project sites are not located within a wetland. The Scattered Site 9D and 11D Demolition project will be funded through Section 18 Demolition/Disposition – Public and Indian Housing funding. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in the floodplain and wetland and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside the floodplain, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about the floodplain and request for public comment about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in the floodplain, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by Miami-Dade Housing and Community Development at the following address by May 19, 2026, Miami-Dade Housing and Community Development, 701 NW 1 Court, 14th Floor, Miami, Florida 33136.
