COMMUNITY EXERCISES RE HORSE COUNTRY AREA

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-555-26, directing the County Mayor or designee to conduct neighborhood planning exercises for the "Horse Country Area." This area is generally bounded by SW Bird Road to Sunset Drive and from the Florida Turnpike to SW 127 Avenue. The exercises, including community meetings, will gather input on the area's agricultural, equestrian, architectural, and aesthetic character, and explore the potential development of a community-specific thematic zoning district. The goal is to preserve the area's unique character against development pressures. A report with findings and recommendations is required within one year of the resolution's effective date. The first community meeting must occur within 90 days of the effective date. No specific development projects are detailed, but the resolution signals potential future zoning changes and infrastructure improvements like decorative street signs and landscaping.
