The push for design districts to stimulate the industry and create mixed-use destinations in South Florida is spreading.

In Doral, the City Council today is to vote on a proposed “Doral Design District Core” future land-use designation for 185 acres within the city’s Design District. If the ordinance passes, the land-use change would represent a pivotal first step in the city’s broader vision for the district, an area historically known for its tile and marble showrooms.
