Land Use Lowdown: “Infill Redevelopment Act – Signed into Law on May 21”
Welcome to the Land Use Lowdown, the new podcast from the Greenspoon Marder land use team where we will share updates and trends on land‑use policy, development, and litigation shaping our region.
In this episode of Land Use Lowdown, Greenspoon Marder attorneys Elizabeth Somerstein and Matthew Scott unpack the newly enacted Infill Redevelopment Act, signed into law on May 21, which is already generating significant interest across South Florida. The conversation explores how the Act fits within the broader trend of state-level preemption of local land use authority, particularly alongside the Live Local Act, while highlighting its more targeted approach. Elizabeth and Matthew walk through the statute’s key provisions and administrative approval framework.
The episode also examines what property qualifies under the Act and where potential challenges may arise. Elizabeth and Matthew break down key considerations such as density caps, buffering rules, and unresolved questions around intensity standards, while also addressing practical realities developers will face, ranging from ongoing environmental obligations to anticipated community scrutiny despite streamlined approvals. Altogether, the discussion offers a clear, strategic look at how the Infill Redevelopment Act could reshape infill development opportunities across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
