AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution urging the Miami-Dade Board of County
Commissioners and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity to conduct a comprehensive,
thorough review of the proposed expansion of the Urban Development Boundary in South Miami-
Dade.
ITEM BACKGROUND: A proposal to expand Miami-Dade County's Urban Development
Boundary (UDB), a line designating where urban development is allowed or prohibited, has been in
discussion by the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners. The proposal to expand the Urban
Development Boundary would allow for development of an 800-acre industrial project, a significant
land use decision with potential impacts to the Florida Keys.
In September 2021, Miami-Dade Commissioners voted 9-3 to send the UDB expansion application
to state agencies for review.
The proposed 800-acre industrial site is slated for warehouses, a hotel, and shopping center located
north of SW 268 Street between 107th and 122nd Avenues. The northern boundary is the Turnpike
extension, connecting Homestead with the expressway.
A second Miami-Dade BOCC vote will take place following State agency review.

and
WHEREAS, the proposed expansion of the Urban Development Boundary in South Miami-
