• Village Council punts on controversial zoning changes for a Garden District building (kbindependent.org) — Key Biscayne residents just pushed Village Council to delay a major zoning change that would allow a 14‑story tower to replace a three‑story building on Galen Drive. The proposal could reshape the Garden District's character and set a precedent for taller redevelopment, so councilmembers sent it to the Zoning Ordinance Review Committee for deeper study and more community input.
   

• Man critical after being found unresponsive while snorkeling near Key Biscayne (wsvn.com) — Emergency crews rushed a man to the hospital in critical condition after he was found unresponsive while snorkeling near Key Biscayne, close to No Name Harbor and Fowey Rocks Lighthouse.
