During the meeting on October 26, 2022, in which the land-use change passed its first city council vote, one Doral resident argued that it would be problematic to convert the resort into high-density space, suggesting it would be more logical to stick to villas or a project more cohesive with the rest of the city.
A traffic analysis report completed by an engineering consultant concluded that the proposed plans would “significantly impact” several roadways surrounding Trump National Doral and the city’s fast-developing downtown area.
“I understand the property owner has rights,” the resident said. “But we also have the right to find a balance that will serve for the people here.”
