The Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt a Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) amendment filed by Lennar Homes LLC for property on the south side of Southwest 355 Street between Southwest 189 Avenue and Southwest 192 Avenue. The board accepted staff’s recommended change and required that the applicant submit an executed covenant within 10 days, or the application would be deemed withdrawn.

Garrett Rowe, chief of the Metropolitan Planning section in the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources planning division, summarized staff’s recommendation: “The staff recommendation is to adopt the application with change and with acceptance of the proper declaration of restrictions.” Rowe said staff recommended the land-use be designated low‑medium density with a DI‑1 density increase (to achieve the requested density while requiring urban design) and that 7.75 acres abutting the site to the south also be included and designated low density with DI‑1.

Rowe also told commissioners the application had been analyzed for traffic; staff found some nearby roadways would operate in failure but concluded the application “does not significantly add trips to these roadways” and would not trigger roadway mitigation.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins moved the CDMP adoption consistent with staff’s recommendation and Commissioner Bermudez seconded. The motion included a 10‑day condition for the applicant to provide the proffered covenant; staff noted the applicant said the executed covenant was en route but not on site that day. The clerk called the roll and the motion passed unanimously.

The board then took the companion zoning application (hearing Z2024000020) consistent with the land‑use approval. County staff said no protests or petitions of support were on record for the zoning application. Both the CDMP amendment and the zoning decision were recorded as unanimous approvals.

Next steps: Staff will expect the applicant to submit the executed covenant within 10 days of the vote; staff said failure to deliver it will result in the application being deemed withdrawn.
