Miami-Dade County Ordinance 260593 creates Section 33-39.5 of the County Code, establishing procedures for the administrative acceptance and approval of covenants related to the Live Local Act. This ordinance applies to proposed developments within Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) or designated areas. It allows for agreements between the county and applicants on development parameters such as height, density, floor area ratio, and parking, which may differ from statutory requirements. Covenants, once approved and recorded, can be modified administratively, unless a modification requires a public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. The ordinance was introduced on April 6, 2026, amended on June 2, 2026, and is intended to facilitate affordable housing development under the Live Local Act.
