Ordinance amending Section 17-124 of the Code of Miami-Dade County to limit the number of extensions and time granted to developers under the Infill Housing Initiative Program. No specific project site, address, parcel, acreage, or applicant is stated. The ordinance limits extensions to no more than two, each for no more than one year, with a possible additional extension by two-thirds Board vote for extraordinary circumstances. The Board of County Commissioners amended the item on 6/16/2026, with the final version in Legislative File No. 261111. It was deferred on 6/2/2026, forwarded with favorable recommendation on 5/13/2026, and adopted on first reading on 4/21/2026. Public comment: Commissioner Bastien supported the ordinance and proffered an amendment to avoid adverse effects on developers; Commissioner Hardemon suggested deferral because affected commissioners were absent; Commissioner Bermudez stated there needed to be consequences for developers who obtained infill properties but did not develop them. No public testimony was given at the 5/13/2026 hearing.
