CDMP APPLICATION RE UDB TEXT AMENDMENT

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

This legislative item, File Number 260967, is a resolution directing the Miami-Dade County Mayor or designee to file an application to amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP). The amendment aims to address the use of text amendments that could facilitate urban land uses on properties located outside the Urban Development Boundary (UDB), without directly 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 within designated Urban Expansion Areas. The Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee forwarded this item to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation on June 10, 2026. The County Attorney clarified that this directive is to develop a solution to a perceived loophole and that the resulting application, likely to be more restrictive, would be subject to Senate Bill 180, delaying its submission to the state until after October 2027. The item is not retroactive and will not affect pending applications. The Board of County Commissioners is scheduled to consider this on July 21, 2026, as Agenda Item 11A11.
