Hold Miami-Dade County’s Urban Development Boundary Line

Mayor Levine Cava has Vetoed the District 8 Application Legislation

For decades, Miami-Dade has protected a bright line to stop urban sprawl into the Everglades, called the “Urban Development Boundary”; this is one of our best tools to protect the Everglades and our drinking water. Over the last year, over 1,400 of you advocated for the aquatic environment and Everglades by letting the  County Commissioners know that you were against moving the Urban Development Boundary for an application to build a logistics center in southern Miami-Dade County.

The final vote took place on November 1, 2022, at County Hall. After a tense day of public comments, presentations, and debate, the majority of the Commission voted to move the Urban Development Boundary. However…

Mayor Levine Cava has vetoed this legislation. To sustain this veto, the Mayor needs a two-thirds vote of all commissioners present at a meeting to override a mayoral vote.

Let our Commissioners know that you are against moving the Urban Development Boundary.

Take action now by sending an email to the Board of County Commissioners. Two emails will be sent on your behalf. The first one shares support for the Mayor’s veto with the Commissioners who stood firm on protecting our Everglades, Biscayne Bay, and our drinking water. The second reiterates to the Commissioners who voted to move the line that you do not support the approved plan to build a 350-acre development beyond the Urban Development Boundary, nor other potential breaches of the line.
