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 The Land Use Lowdown, the Greenspoon Marder land use team breaks down the transformative Live Local Act and what it means for development across South Florida. Dennis, Matt, and Liz unpack how the Act aims to accelerate affordable housing, the ways it redefines zoning, height, and density approvals, and how recent legislative updates—from SB 328 to SB 1730—are reshaping its implementation. They explore the impact on municipalities, developers, and local control, highlight the types of properties best positioned for Live Local opportunities, and discuss the real-world benefits and risks emerging from this sweeping preemption-driven law. Whether you're a planner, developer, or community stakeholder, this episode offers a clear, practical look at how Live Local is influencing South Florida’s growth and the future of affordable housing.
