Removing the covenant would eliminate whatever development or use restrictions were previously imposed on the site.

This ordinance imposes operating conditions on what appears to be a tutoring or educational facility, including a student-per-session cap, weekday-only hours (9 a.m.–5 p.m.), and a requirement for city approval before any expansion. The item is a site-specific conditional-use approval rather than a broad zoning or land-use policy change.
Hialeah Council Eyes Conditional Site Plan Approval with Wall Requirements
The Hialeah City Council is considering an ordinance amending City Code Section 2235 that includes a conditional site plan approval.

Hialeah Grants Accessory Structure Size Variance at 640 E 60 St (R-1)
The Hialeah City Council is considering an ordinance granting a variance from the accessory structure size limit under Code § 98-1666 for the single-family (R-1) property at 640 East 60 Street.

Hialeah Hospital Parking Lot Zoning Proffered with ADA & Buffer Wall Conditions
Ordinance 1618 proffers that a parking lot will be used exclusively for Hialeah Hospital, with site plan requirements including 2 ADA-compliant parking spaces and a 6-foot CBS wall on the east property boundary to buffer dissimilar uses. The conditions reflect standard zoning proffers tied to a land use or rezoning approval for the hospital-adjacent parcel.

The Hialeah City Council is considering an ordinance granting variances at 40 West 15th Street to allow lot coverage of 38% (8% above the 30% maximum) and a west side interior setback of 9.45 feet instead of the required 10 feet, in order to legalize an existing addition. The variances contrast with Hialeah Code §98-2056(b)(2) and §98-590.
Hialeah Parking & Pervious Area Variances Sought Near W 30th Street
This ordinance requests multiple variances for a property near West 30th Street in Hialeah: allowing 96% pervious area versus the 30% minimum required, reducing required parking from 24 spaces to 10, and permitting all parking spaces fronting West 30th Street to back out into the right-of-way — a configuration normally restricted to low-density residential properties.

Hialeah Variance: 0-ft Setbacks & 500-SF Units Sought for Mixed-Use Project
This ordinance requests multiple variances for a development in Hialeah, including reducing minimum unit size to 500 square feet for up to 25% of residential units (where 700 SF is required), eliminating the interior south side and rear setbacks from 15 feet to 0 feet, and modifying parking requirements. The project also seeks relief from standard dimensional requirements, signaling a high-density urban infill proposal.
Parking & Pervious Area Variances Sought Near W 30th St in Hialeah
This ordinance requests multiple variances for a property near West 30th Street in Hialeah: allowing 96% pervious area where 30% is the minimum, reducing required parking from 24 spaces to 10, and permitting all parking spaces fronting West 30th Street to back out into the right-of-way — a configuration normally restricted to low-density residential properties.

Hialeah Gym Seeks Parking & Pervious Area Variances on 101-Space Site
A variance request would reduce the parking requirement below the 101 spaces mandated for an existing CrossFit and MMA gym and allow 8.4% pervious area instead of the 10% minimum, deviating from Hialeah Code §98-2189(7) and the Hialeah Landscape Manual. The item is presented as an ordinance before the Hialeah City Council.
