BREAKING NEWS! Lowe's Application to Move the UDB Found NOT in Compliance. By Geniusofdespair

Administrative Law Judge Bram Canter found the Lowe's application to move the Urban Development Boundary NOT IN COMPLIANCE with the County's Comprehensive Development Master Plan. You might remember that the County Commission approved Lowe's and even did an override of the Mayor's veto. Subsequently, the State would not approve the application, thus, this administrative hearing...the County suing the State as it were.

The Brown application, the Judge recommended finding it in compliance with the plan, under the "fairly debatable" standard. The opinion is 54 pages. If anyone wants a copy send me your email.

Conclusion
184. Petitioners proved that, in construing the CDMP in its entirety, the County’s adoption of the Lowe’s Amendment is not in compliance.
185. Petitioners failed to prove that, in construing the CDMP in its entirety, the County’s adoption of the Brown Amendment is not in compliance.

Krome Avenue will certainly look a lot different now that Brown got their "schrivner's error" corrected! That stinks. The Parkland app is now one step closer to their monster development.

I can't believe they had the balls to call it parkland? I hope that the Dade County Board of County Commissioners has learned a lesson, and thinks before voting when parkland comes forward.

Are they not elected officials that should be concerned about what the people really need to help the economy?
