The Florida Department of Community Affairs recommends that Miami-Dade County reject all development projects on the county's fringes until the county identifies sufficient drinking water.
"In a blunt review released Tuesday, the Florida Department of Community Affairs recommended that Miami-Dade commissioners reject all 17 projects up for consideration -- both inside and outside the county's urban development boundary, everything from homes and offices in West Kendall to a Lowe's home store in far West Miami-Dade.
The agency, which reviews land-use changes statewide, said the county had not shown it has enough drinking water to support the flood of people or that it needed to open new areas to more intensive development. It also found some projects could glut roads and schools."
