Update/Editor's note: For any city planning and traffic aficionados out there, we now have the Traffic Impact Analysis report that a firm working for Walmart submitted to the City of Miami in regards to the proposed location in Midtown, and a better image of the loading doc area.

We're working on an article for Monday, but if you have any input or observations about the study, let us know at news@openmediamiami.com, on just post on our Facebook page.

--

The owner of a vacant lot set to become a 160,000 square-foot mega Walmart store in Midtown is asking the City of Miami to waive zoning regulations on recently submitted plans for construction of garage entrances and a truck loading area, arguing the additions would only be a “minor modification” of the city’s design standards.

The Akerman firm representing Cleveland-based Developers Diversified Realty, which owns the vacant land at 3055 N. Miami Avenue, asked the planning department to approve a design of a truck loading dock and garage entrance on the east side of the property facing Midtown Boulevard (NE 1st Avenue), between 29th Street and 30th Street.
