It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution

BACKGROUND
On November 16, 1999, by Ordinance No. 11864, City Commission adopted designation
of an urban infill area encompassing all of the City of Miami. Subsequent to its review of
the amendment, DCA declared its intent to find Miami's comprehensive plan "Not in

order to remedy this issue, the City of Miami is required to enter into an Agreement with
DCA, to be executed by the City Manager.
