RTZ LIVE LOCAL COVENANTS

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · ordinance

Miami-Dade County Ordinance 260593, titled "RTZ LIVE LOCAL COVENANTS," was amended on June 2, 2026. This ordinance creates Section 33-39.5 of the County Code, establishing procedures for the administrative acceptance and approval of covenants related to the Live Local Act. These covenants apply to proposed developments within Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) or designated areas. The ordinance allows for agreements between the applicant and the county that may differ from statutory requirements regarding use, height, density, floor area ratio, and parking. Covenants, once approved and recorded, can be modified administratively unless the modification requires Board of County Commissioners approval after a public hearing. The ordinance aims to facilitate affordable housing development by streamlining processes under the Live Local Act, particularly in areas promoting transit use.
