§ 33-324. Other zoning moratoria.

(a)

Should any person make written application to the County Manager for the issuance of an administrative order as provided by Section 33-323(a), Miami-Dade County Code, and the County Manager refuses to issue such order, or fails to take action thereon within thirty (30) days, such person may make direct application in writing to the Board of County Commissioners for the issuance of a zoning moratorium order. Such application to the Board shall be filed with the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, whose duty it shall be to place the matter before the Board of County Commissioners as soon as is reasonably practicable for the Board's determination as to whether a public hearing should be called thereon. The word "person" as used in this subsection includes, but is not limited to, any individual, firm, corporation, or governmental entity, including the Planning Advisory Board and the Community Zoning Appeals Board.

(b)

Should the Board determine that a public hearing should be held on whether a zoning moratorium is appropriate, it shall call the same for the earliest practicable date and give reasonable notice thereof by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in Miami-Dade County. Pending the public hearing the Board may issue an order prohibiting the consideration by any County department, board or agency of any zoning amendment, modification, variance, special exception or other zoning change in said area.

(c)

The procedure to be followed for this section, after the completion of the steps provided in Subsections (a) and (b) above, is that set forth in Section 33-323(e) and (f), Miami-Dade County Code.
