A bill that could have weakened urban development boundaries, like the one in Miami-Dade County, didn’t make it through the Florida legislative session that ended Friday.
In the final hours, lawmakers removed a section in a larger land-use bill. It would have lowered the commission vote needed to move boundaries in Miami-Dade, Orange and Seminole counties to make way for development.
Another section requiring a study on the effectiveness of such rural boundaries was also removed.
For much of the session, the measures drew fierce opposition from local government officials and environmental groups. Miami-Dade’s boundary was created about half a century ago to protect wetlands and farms from development.
