CDMP APPLICATION RE UDB TEXT AMENDMENT

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

Miami-Dade County Commission is considering a resolution (File Number: 260967) to direct the County Mayor to file an application to amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP). The proposed amendment aims to regulate the use of text amendments that could facilitate urban land uses on properties outside the Urban Development Boundary (UDB), without directly expanding the UDB or amending the Land Use Plan (LUP) map. The amendment seeks to ensure that such text amendments require a demonstration of need, avoid sprawl, and mitigate loss of agricultural or environmentally-sensitive lands. It also intends to provide flexibility for text amendments in designated Urban Expansion Areas. The Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee forwarded this item to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation on 6/10/2026. The County Attorney clarified that this directive is to develop a solution to a loophole and that any resulting application would likely be subject to Senate Bill 180, meaning it could not be filed with the state until October 2027, unless extended by emergency declarations. The item is not retroactive and will not affect currently pending applications. The Board of County Commissioners agenda date is 7/21/2026.
