The aforesaid declarations are hereby adopted as the legislative and intent of the
Board of County Commissioners of Metropolitan Miami-Dade County, Florida, and are
made a part hereof.
The Board of County Commissioners of Metropolitan Miami-Dade County, Florida, hereby
declares and finds that the creation of the area of critical environmental concern
is essential to assure the protection and maintenance of the public health, safety
and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of, and visitors to, Metropolitan
Miami-Dade County. It is the purpose of this designation to protect the public health,
safety and welfare by assuring orderly development of the designated area and minimal
degradation of those natural ecosystems described in Section 33B-13; by requiring that the functional integrity of natural ecosystems as described in Section 33B-13 is protected; by assuring the maintenance of the present surface and subsurface hydrology
within those lands described in Section 33B-13; by providing for the protection of the ecological form and function of the Everglades
National Park, its estuarine areas and adjacent wetlands, and to maintain the capability
of the natural environment to sustain a proposed use in the long term. This approach
will ensure the integrated use of the physical, natural and social sciences and arts
in the planning decision process to minimize adverse impacts upon, and to maximize
the benefits and resources of, the area.
