CDMP APPLICATION RE UDB TEXT AMENDMENT

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

The document is a Miami-Dade County legislative item, File Number 260967, a Resolution (R-678-26) adopted on 7/21/2026. It directs 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), without seeking to expand the UDB or amend the Land Use Plan (LUP) map. The application must include provisions to require 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 to the Board of County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation by the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee on 6/10/2026, and adopted on 7/21/2026. The document does not specify a particular project site, address, parcel, acreage, or applicant. Public comment included questions from Vice Chairwoman Lopez and Commissioner Cohen Higgins about the impact of Senate Bill 180 and pending applications, with responses from ACA Kirtley and Director Gomez. The item is not retroactive and would not apply to current applications. The administration would have to wait until October 2027 to submit the application due to Senate Bill 180 restrictions.
