Affirm support for preservation of Miami-Dade urban development boundary

A resolution of the mayor and village council of the village of palmetto bay, florida, affirming support for the preservation of the miami-dade urban development boundary (“udb”) as IT currently exists to protect downstream water resources, including the biscayne aquifer, regional groundwater supplies, and connected coastal waters, as well as the everglades, wetlands, and agricultural lands; urging the miami-dade county board of county commissioners to uphold county mayor daniela levine cava’s veto of the proposed development outside the udb; urging the florida state legislature to oppose any legislation that would weaken the udb in the miami-dade county charter; encouraging advancement of attainable and workforce housing within the udb to address housing affordability without expanding development into environmentally sensitive lands; designating the preservation of the udb as a state legislative priority for the village of palmetto bay; and further, directing the village clerk to transmit a copy of this resolution to the miami-dade county mayor, each member of the miami-dade county board of county commissioners, the speaker of the florida house of representatives, the president of the florida senate, the miami-dade state legislative delegation, all other municipalities within miami-dade county, and the village’s state legislative lobbyists.
