COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

DATE:

RECOMMENDATION

The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission (City Commission) adopt the ordinance.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

On February 3, 2025, at the request of Commissioner David Suarez, the City Commission referred a discussion item pertaining to cancelled Land Use Board (LUB) meetings and member attendance requirements (C4 AW) to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC). On June 10, 2025, the LUSC discussed the proposal and recommended that the City Commission refer an ordinance amending the Land Development Regulations of the City Code (LDRs) to the Planning Board, in accordance with the recommendations in the LUSC memo. On July 23, 2025, at the request of Commissioner David Suarez, the City Commission referred the proposed ordinance to the Planning Board (C4 B).

ANALYSIS

Attached is a draft ordinance amending Chapter 2 of the LDRs, specific to cancelled or rescheduled LUB meetings. The ordinance creates a section for LUB meetings that are cancelled or rescheduled after the agenda items have been noticed. In these instances, all items on the agenda of the cancelled or rescheduled meeting would automatically be placed on the agenda of the next LUB meeting. Additionally, a minimum 5-day courtesy notice for the agenda items that were cancelled or rescheduled would be provided on a publicly accessible website hosted by Miami-Dade County.

The Administration is supportive of the proposed ordinance, as it provides greater clarity regarding the notice requirements for cancelled or rescheduled LUB meetings.

PLANNING BOARD REVIEW On September 9, 2025, the Planning Board held a public hearing and transmitted the proposed ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation (7-0).

UPDATE The subject ordinance was approved at First Reading on September 17, 2025, with no changes.
