"The Line" is the County’s Urban Development Boundary (UDB), a land use rule that protects our green space, farms, and drinking water from overdevelopment and urban sprawl. Put simply, it’s a tool that helps our county make smart land use decisions and prioritize investments in existing neighborhoods.
By Holding The Line, we invest in thriving communities with affordable and accessible housing and transportation for all our residents, we preserve the agricultural heritage and economic diversity of our county, and we protect sensitive natural lands essential to restoring the health of the Everglades and Biscayne Bay.
Holding the Line means our taxes support clean drinking water, roads and transit, clean parks and playgrounds, and public safety to meet the needs of today. We also avoid building in places most threatened by severe weather, sea level rise and climate change.

This bill appears designed to avoid any developer vs community conflict similar to the unpopular vote to reduce wetland buffers earlier this year in Manatee County.
