CDMP APPLICATION RE UDB TEXT AMENDMENT

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

This legislative item, File Number 260967, is a resolution directing the Miami-Dade County Mayor or designee to file an application to amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP). The amendment aims to address the use of text amendments that facilitate urban land uses on property outside the Urban Development Boundary (UDB), without expanding the UDB or amending the Land Use Plan (LUP) map. The proposed amendment will require a demonstration of need, avoidance of sprawl, and mitigation of environmental impacts. It also allows for flexibility in Urban Expansion Areas. The Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee forwarded this item with a favorable recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). The process is subject to Senate Bill 180, meaning the application cannot be filed with the state until October 2027, unless extended by emergency declarations. The item is not retroactive and will not affect pending applications. The Board wishes to ensure that responsible growth outside the UDB occurs only when a demonstrated need exists and that text amendments do not bypass requirements applicable to UDB expansion.
