AMEND CDMP - COMMERCIAL VEHICLE STORAGE

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

Resolution directing the County Mayor to file a CDMP amendment application to allow additional flexibility in satisfying the minimum acreage requirement for commercial vehicle storage in authorized locations, to conduct an evaluation of vacant County-owned parcels suitable for commercial vehicle storage, and to direct a limited stay of certain enforcement actions. The resolution failed on 7/21/2026. It was deferred on 6/2/2026 and 12/16/2025. The prime sponsor is Sen. Rene Garcia. The resolution references the existing 10 gross acre minimum site size for commercial vehicle storage under section 33-279 of the County Code, and proposes allowing properties within a certain distance of one another to be aggregated to achieve the minimum acreage requirement, even if not adjoining, adjacent, or within 660 feet of one another, such as properties separated only by a roadway or a single intervening parcel, or under common ownership and part of a unified business operation. The resolution also directs an evaluation of all vacant County-owned properties across Miami-Dade County, listing them by Commission District with current CDMP land use designation and zoning district, and a report to the Board within 90 days of the effective date. It also directs cessation of enforcement against property owners for commercial vehicle storage violations that would be legalized through the CDMP application and related Code changes for a period of one year, and directs the County Attorney's Office to seek a stay of civil actions to collect civil penalties or foreclose liens related to such violations for one year.
