CDMP APPLICATION RE UDB TEXT AMENDMENT

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

This legislative matter concerns a proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) in Miami-Dade County. The resolution directs the County Mayor or designee to file an application to amend the CDMP to address the use of text amendments that could facilitate urban land uses on property outside the Urban Development Boundary (UDB). The goal is to ensure that such text amendments require a demonstration of need, avoid sprawl, and mitigate loss of agricultural or environmentally-sensitive lands, while allowing flexibility in Urban Expansion Areas. This process is distinct from directly expanding the UDB or amending the Land Use Plan map. The proposed amendment is not retroactive and will not affect current applications. Due to Senate Bill 180, the administration anticipates being able to present the application to the state for comments in October 2027, subject to potential extensions. The Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee forwarded this item to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation on June 10, 2026. The BCC agenda date is July 21, 2026.
