Miami 21 is back.

As promised, Miami Mayor Manny Diaz has called a special Sept. 4 City Commission meeting to revive his signature rezoning plan, which seemed dead after a surprise 2-2 commission deadlock this month.

The hearing will begin at 10 a.m. in the commission chambers at City Hall. Also on the agenda: Miami 21-related amendments to the city's historic-preservation law and its comprehensive development plan.

Commissioner Angel González, who missed the first vote because of illness, has said he is leaning in favor of it and could provide the third yes vote.

Commission Chairman Joe Sanchez, a Diaz ally who surprised the mayor by voting no, has said he is willing to change his vote as long as 35-foot height restrictions along upper Biscayne Boulevard, which Commissioner Marc Sarnoff has sought, are not adopted as part of Miami 21.
