RE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, SITE CLEANUPS

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

This ordinance amends Section 24-44 of the Miami-Dade County Code to allow for the approval of non-recorded institutional controls for "No Further Action with Conditions" site closures in connection with contaminated site cleanups, specifically for sites owned or operated by a governmental entity. This change aims to provide equivalent protection to human health, public safety, and the environment while potentially reducing transactional costs associated with recorded covenants. The ordinance outlines procedures for the Director's approval, appeal process to the County Commission, and maintenance of a registry for approved non-recorded controls. It also clarifies that notice and comment opportunities for affected neighboring properties remain a requirement. The ordinance was introduced on 6/26/2026 and tentatively scheduled for a public hearing on 7/21/2026.
