The Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-678-26 (File Number 260967) directing the County Mayor or designee to file an application to amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) to address the use of text amendments that may facilitate urban land uses on property outside the Urban Development Boundary (UDB). The resolution requires that such CDMP application include provisions to ensure a demonstration of need, avoidance of sprawl-type development, and mitigation of loss of agricultural or environmentally-sensitive lands, while providing flexibility for text amendments in certain locations within Urban Expansion Areas. The item was introduced on 5/26/2026, forwarded with a favorable recommendation by the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee on 6/10/2026, and adopted by the Board on 7/21/2026. The County Attorney stated that due to Senate Bill 180, the administration would have to wait until October 2027 to submit the text amendment to the state. The item is not retroactive and will not affect pending applications. No specific property, address, parcel, acreage, or applicant is identified in the document.
