The Urban Development Boundary (UDB) is the most effective zoning tool in Miami-Dade County’s Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) that preserves existing greenspace and areas that supply drinking water in the western and southern portions outside of the developed county. Moving the UDB encourages development in sensitive low-lying areas we need to protect our communities from flooding and sea level rise. Most importantly, the UDB protects our water supply, our local food supply, the Everglades, Biscayne Bay and our livelihoods. The boundary serves as a greenbelt separating Miami-Dade from the Everglades and Biscayne Bay through farms, low density housing and wetlands. It also allows us to concentrate our tax dollars on repairing and improving infrastructure within the already developed portions of our community. Take the pledge today to uphold our principles and join The Hold the Line Coalition, a collective group of municipalities, businesses, individuals and environmental and community groups working together to ensure South Florida remains livable. Your support  protects the unique character of the few remaining green spaces and agricultural resources to the west and southeast of the UDB. Endorsing smart growth principles and supporting infill redevelopment projects within the already developed parts of Miami-Dade County directs resources to existing residents and prepares our neighborhoods for future challenges. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/pledge-to-hold-the-line
