CDMP APPLICATION RE UDB TEXT AMENDMENT

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Commission is considering a resolution (File Number: 260967) to direct the County Mayor or designee to file an application to amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP). The amendment aims to regulate the use of text amendments that facilitate urban land uses on property outside the Urban Development Boundary (UDB), without expanding the UDB or amending the Land Use Plan (LUP) map. The proposed amendment seeks to ensure that such text amendments require a demonstration of need, avoidance of sprawl, and mitigation of environmental impacts. It also aims to provide flexibility for text amendments in designated Urban Expansion Areas. The Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee forwarded the item to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation on 6/10/2026. The County Attorney clarified that this directive is to develop a solution to a loophole and that any resulting application would likely be subject to Senate Bill 180 restrictions, meaning it could not be filed with the state until October 2027, unless extended by emergency declarations. The item is not retroactive and will not affect currently pending applications. The Board of County Commissioners agenda date is 7/21/2026.
