The purpose of this layer is to provide users with a spatial representation of the Transect Zones, in the Miami 21 (form-based) zoning code, and their consolidated amendments in the City of Miami. Transects are areas of varying Density whose character is determined by the requirements for Use, Height, Setback and Building Form. This dataset is comprised of boundary geometry representing transect zones of the Miami 21 Zoning code currently in force and effect. Updates are performed regularly by the Planning Department.

Future Land Use dataset represents a large number of polygon features that are catagrized into 13 land use types that are shaped according to various economic and other uses (examples are: Single-Family, Medium-density; Two-Family; Airposrts; Office Buildings; Parking Lots, etc.) within the limit of the City of Miami.

A line feature class of Miami-Dade County's Urban Development Boundary(UDB) boundaries. The boundary was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) as per recommendation. This boundary identifies the area where urban development may occur through the year 2030. Development orders permitting urban development will generally be approved within the UDB at some time through the year 2030 provided that level-of-service standards for necessary public facilities will be met. Adequate countywide capacity will be maintained within the UDB by increasing development densities or intensities inside the UDB or by expanding the UDB when the need for such change is determined to be necessary through the amendment process.Revisions: Date: November 2021 By: Juan C.
