RTZ LIVE LOCAL COVENANTS

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

This ordinance, Legislative File Number 260593, creates Section 33-39.5 of the Miami-Dade County Code to allow for the administrative acceptance and approval of covenants related to the Live Local Act. This applies to proposed developments within Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) or designated areas. The ordinance streamlines the process for agreeing on development parameters such as height, density, floor area ratio, and parking, which may differ from statutory requirements. Covenants can be modified 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 amended and forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation by the Transportation Committee. The Board of County Commissioners adopted it on first reading and amended it on June 2, 2026.
