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

Miami-Dade County Ordinance File Number 260593, titled 'RTZ LIVE LOCAL COVENANTS', was amended on June 2, 2026. This ordinance creates Section 33-39.5 of the County Code to provide for the administrative acceptance and approval of covenants related to the Live Local Act for proposed developments within Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) or designated areas. It establishes criteria, requirements, and procedures for these covenants and their modifications. The ordinance allows for administrative approval of covenants specifying maximum height, density, floor area ratio, and parking, even if the property is not currently eligible for Live Local Act development or regardless of its current zoning. Modifications can also be administrative unless they do not meet specific criteria, in which case they require Board of County Commissioners approval after a public hearing. The ordinance was adopted on first reading on April 21, 2026, forwarded with a favorable recommendation by the Transportation Committee on May 12, 2026, and amended by the Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 2026. A final version is noted in Legislative File No. 261065. Public comment during the Transportation Committee meeting was minimal, with no one appearing to speak.
