CDMP APPLICATION RE UDB TEXT AMENDMENT

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

The document is a legislative item for a resolution adopted by the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners. It directs the County Mayor or designee to file an application to amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) to address the use of text amendments that may facilitate urban land uses on property outside the Urban Development Boundary (UDB). The resolution was adopted on 7/21/2026. The item was forwarded to the Board with a favorable recommendation from the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee on 6/10/2026. The application would be filed at the appropriate time, likely after October 2027 due to Senate Bill 180 restrictions. The resolution requires that the CDMP application include provisions to ensure a demonstration of need, avoidance of sprawl-type development, and mitigation of loss of agricultural or environmentally-sensitive lands, while providing flexibility for text amendments in certain locations within Urban Expansion Areas. No specific property, address, parcel, size, or applicant is identified. Public comment included questions from Vice Chairwoman Lopez about Senate Bill 180 and Commissioner Cohen Higgins about the number of pending applications affected, with responses from ACA Kirtley and Director Gomez.
