Home » DRI – Parkland/Krome Groves
The South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) has received a request from Parkland/Krome Groves representatives to recommence the review of its DRI application. The project area is located west of SW 162 Avenue to SW 177 Avenue, between SW 136 Street and theoretical SW 152 Street, outside of the Urban Development Boundary. Miami-Dade County rules and regulations require proposed developments located outside the UDB to be reviewed with an amendment to the Comprehensive Development Master Plan and a concurrent zoning application.
Pursuant to §380.06(1), Florida Statutes (Fla. Stat.), a DRI is defined as “any development which, because of its character, magnitude, or location, would have a substantial effect upon the health, safety or welfare of citizens of more than one county.”
In 2018, Florida enacted statutory changes eliminating developments from review through the DRI Program. There were two exemptions (§380.06(12)(b)1. and 2., Fla. Statutes):
The Applicant submitted its initial DRI Application for Development Approval (ADA) in 2005. While the Council found the ADA sufficient on October 31, 2008, the Applicant exercised its statutory right to waive the DRI timeline. The Council voted in July 2012 and advised the Applicant a further review of the ADA should be based on updated data and analysis.
The SFRPC website is undergoing modifications to provide enhanced access to documents for disabled individuals and to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to make reasonable accommodations. If you need assistance accessing Council documents while these modifications are being made, please contact the SFRPC Director of Administration, at sfadmin@sfrpc.com or 954-924-3653 for assistance. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we implement these changes.
