Miramar transmits comprehensive plan amendments and adopts 10‑year water‑supply work plan by reference
Summary
The commission approved transmittal of EAR‑based comprehensive plan amendments to conform with state law changes and to adopt the 2025 10‑year water supply facilities work plan. Staff said they removed seven policies that conflicted with Senate Bill 180 and emphasized alternative water supplies, reclaimed water use and conservation for future growth.
City planning staff presented evaluation and appraisal review (EAR)‑based amendments to Miramar’s comprehensive plan and asked the commission to transmit the package to the Florida Department of Commerce for state review. Staff said the package mirrors an earlier set of amendments adopted in November 2025 except for the removal of seven policies identified by the state as more restrictive than allowed under Senate Bill 180, which became effective July 1, 2025 and is retroactive to August 1, 2024.
Utilities assistant director Roni Navarro presented the 2025 water supply facilities work plan—a 10‑year planning document required under state statute—saying regional priorities emphasize expanding reclaimed water use, developing brackish groundwater supplies with treatment and strengthening conservation programs to meet projected demand. Navarro described the work plan as necessary to align local infrastructure and capital improvements with the South Florida Water Management District’s regional update and to ensure reliable service through the planning horizon.
Commissioners asked questions and the commission approved transmittal of the EAR‑based amendments and the water supply work plan.
