DIRECTING CDMP AMENDMENT RE VERTICAL FARMING
Miami-Dade County is directing the County Mayor or designee to file an application to amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) to allow or encourage high-intensity, closed agricultural production systems, such as vertical farming, within urbanized areas. This initiative stems from a report highlighting the decline of traditional farmland and the need for innovative agricultural practices. The amendment aims to provide greater allowances for vertical farming, provided it is compatible with surrounding residential or commercial development. Over 70 stakeholders expressed frustration with existing regulations and a lack of support, advocating for more flexible policies like those enabling urban vertical agriculture. The vertical farming sector in Miami-Dade County has reportedly grown substantially to meet demand, particularly from the restaurant scene.

DIRECTING CDMP AMENDMENT RE VERTICAL FARMING
Miami-Dade County is directing the County Mayor or designee to file an application to amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP). The amendment aims to provide greater allowances for high-intensity, closed agricultural production systems, such as vertical farming, within urbanized areas. This initiative is based on recommendations from the "Evaluation of Agricultural Land Use Trends and Outlook in Miami-Dade County, Florida" report, which highlighted the decline in traditional farmland and the need for innovative, space-efficient agricultural practices. The report noted that 93 percent of the County's farms are under 50 acres, making vertical farming a crucial option for small operations. Stakeholders expressed frustration with regulations and a lack of support, advocating for more flexible policies like those enabling urban vertical agriculture. The sector is reportedly growing to meet demand, particularly from Miami's restaurant scene. The proposed CDMP amendment will require such uses to be compatible with surrounding residential or commercial development.
