Miami-Dade County commissioners will soon decide whether to rezone a 1.59-acre tract adjacent to the Metrorail south busway corridor to permit a 216-bed assisted living facility for the elderly, or side with unhappy nearby residents in the east Killian neighborhood and reject it.

The decision comes amid a general construction boom along the buses only lanes that run parallel to South Dixie Highway, U.S. 1 in South Dade. The growth there is exemplified by an 18-story, 298-unit apartment complex that opened recently 9600 S. Dixie Hwy. Three more high-rise apartment buildings are being planned near the Dadeland South station, and others are under consideration for the area south of SW 160^th Street where many new and renovated businesses, as well as several mid-size apartments have recently gone up.
