Urban Expansion Area Task Force

The purpose of the Urban Expansion Area Task Force is to provide recommendations for consideration by the Planning Advisory Board and Board of County Commissioners on the following topics:

  • Changes to the current boundaries of the Urban Expansion Areas;
  • Creation of new Urban Expansion Areas; and
  • Changes to the criteria that should be considered for applications requesting expansion of the UDB.

The recommendations of the UEA Task Force will inform the County’s review and update of the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) known as the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), which the County is required by state law to undertake every seven years.

The Evaluation and Appraisal Report includes an evaluation of the progress the County has made in implementing the CDMP and also recommends changes to the CDMP. Created by Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez in May of 2017, the UEA Task Force affords an opportunity to review the County’s Urban Expansion Area locations and policies in a comprehensive manner, together with other related policies.

Urban Expansion Area

The County’s Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) Future Land Use Plan Map currently designates four Urban Expansion Areas (UEA) located outside of the Urban Development Boundary which separates the area where urban growth can occur from the area where it should not. The UEA represent areas where the Board of County Commissioners may authorize urban expansion if certain criteria in the Land Use Element are met, and if there is a demonstrated need for urban development to occur beyond the Urban Development Boundary.

On May 7, 2018, the Miami-Dade County Urban Expansion Area Task Force completed its work.
