RELATING TO THE INFILL HOUSING INITIATIVE PROGRAM

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · ordinance

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners amended Ordinance No. 01-47, relating to the Infill Housing Initiative Program. The amendment, identified as Legislative Item File Number 260671, limits the number of extensions and the total time that may be granted to developers for property development under the program. Specifically, no more than two one-year extensions will be granted, with a possibility of one additional extension under extraordinary circumstances upon a two-thirds vote. The ordinance was amended on June 16, 2026, after being deferred on June 2, 2026, and adopted on first reading on April 21, 2026. Public comment was not recorded during the committee hearing, but Commissioner Bastien expressed support for the program and noted an amendment to protect developers, while Commissioner Bermudez emphasized the need for consequences for non-developing entities. The deferral was requested by Commissioner Hardemon due to the absence of key commissioners.
