Live Local Zoning Crisis — October Update
Sunday, October 11, 2026
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM EDT
Since our February 4 Zoom, Miami Beach has seen eleven Live Local Act applications come into focus: eleven proposed towers, all of which exceed local zoning regulations due to state preemptions under the Live Local Act.
Join Daniel Ciraldo and Save Miami Beach for a short, plain-language look at what's been proposed, what the law now allows, and the legal challenges underway, with time for your questions. Sunday, October 11, 4 PM ET, on Zoom.

About the speaker
Daniel Ciraldo
Founder of SaveMiamiBeach.org
Daniel Ciraldo is the publisher of the Miami Beach Journal and founder of Save Miami Beach, a civic initiative since 2015 focused on protecting the city’s character and quality of life. Today’s Save Miami Beach is a separate entity from, but inspired by, the original Save Miami Beach movement of the 1990s.
He previously served for eight years as Executive Director of the Miami Design Preservation League, a preservation organization based in the Miami Beach Art Deco Historic District, where he worked on historic preservation, responsible development, resiliency, and the future of Miami Beach’s built environment.
In 2026, the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation honored him with its Individual Distinguished Service award.
He also runs Young Folks Consulting, which gives nonprofits, advocacy groups and public-impact organizations executive leadership, strategy and smart systems, without the cost of a full-time executive.
A former candidate for the Miami Beach City Commission, Ciraldo remains actively engaged in local planning and development issues, with a particular focus on protecting Miami Beach’s historic character and ensuring residents have a meaningful voice in decisions shaping their neighborhoods.
