Hold The Line in District 11 - Green City

Where We Stand – Status of Application and Need for Action:

CDMP application to expand the Urban Development Boundary in District 11 to create a “Special District,” Green City. The application is for ~316 acres in an Urban Expansion Area (“UEA”). Proposed uses include a commerce center and residential housing. An architectural rendering shows it as the northern part of the larger proposed “Green City Miami.” There are several issues with this application. Rezoning the land for Industrial use would further shrink Miami Dade’s disappearing agricultural lands and reduce the buffer zone between the Everglades and urban Miami. There is sufficient unused industrial land within the UDB to support the project. 

The application claims that no endangered species live in the area and that “environmentally friendly designs” are being incorporated into planning the development, there is no documentation or evidence to support either claim.
