RELATING TO THE INFILL HOUSING INITIATIVE PROGRAM

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

This legislative matter concerns an ordinance amending Section 17-124 of the Miami-Dade County Code, relating to the Infill Housing Initiative Program. The amendment aims to limit the number of extensions and the total time granted to developers for completing projects under the program. Specifically, it limits extensions to a maximum of two, each for no more than one year, with a provision for one additional extension under extraordinary circumstances upon a two-thirds vote. The ordinance was amended and forwarded with a favorable recommendation by the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee, adopted on first reading by the Board of County Commissioners, and deferred for final action. Public comment was not recorded during the committee hearing. Commissioner Bastien supported the program and offered an amendment to protect developers, while Commissioner Hardemon suggested deferral due to the absence of key commissioners. Commissioner Bermudez emphasized the need for consequences for non-developing entities.
