RTZ LIVE LOCAL COVENANTS

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

This ordinance creates Section 33-39.5 of the Miami-Dade 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 administrative approval of covenants specifying maximum height, density, floor area ratio, and parking requirements, even if the property is not currently eligible for the Live Local Act or has a different zoning designation. Modifications to these covenants can also be handled administratively, unless they do not meet specific criteria, in which case they require Board of County Commissioners approval after a public hearing. The ordinance was introduced on 4/6/2026, adopted on first reading on 4/21/2026, forwarded with a favorable recommendation by the Transportation Committee on 5/12/2026, and amended by the Board of County Commissioners on 6/2/2026. A public hearing was held by the Transportation Committee, with no one appearing to speak.
