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.

A table of the landuse Codes used by Miami-Dade County Planning and Zoning Department. Existing Land Use (LU) is a classification that is used by the Planning and Zoning Department to identify actual site uses that are not necessarily tied to parcel boundaries (properties). The existing land use classification is closely related to zoning district regulations, future land use designations countywide, development patterns, potential development, ownership, environmental restrictions, and some other criteria.Updated: As Needed

THIS PLAN IS NOT A ZONING MAP. Within each map category on this plan map, numerous land uses, zoning districts and housing types may occur. This plan map may be interpreted only as provided in the adopted plan text entitled: Interpretation of The Land Use Plan Map: Adopted Policy Of The Land Use Element. That adopted text provides necessary definitions and standards for allowable land uses, densities, or intensities of use for each map category, and for interpretation and application of the plan as a whole. The adopted text must be consulted in its entirety in interpreting any one plan map category, and no provision shall be used in isolation from the remainder. Restrictions accepted by the Board of County Commissioners in association with Land Use Plan map amendments shall be considered as an adopted part of the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) and are delineated in the adopted text.This Land Use Plan (LUP) map, in conjunction with all other adopted components of the CDMP, will govern all development-related actions taken or authorized by Miami-Dade County. The LUP map generally reflects municipal land use policies adopted in comprehensive plans. However, with limited exceptions enumerated in the Statement of Legislative Intent, this plan does not supersede local land use authority of incorporated municipal governments authorized in accordance with the Miami-Dade County Charter. For further guidance on future land uses authorized within incorporated municipalities, consult the local comprehensive plan adopted by the pertinent municipality.Updated: Weekly The data was created using: Projected Coordinate System: WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_SphereProjection: Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere

The primary objective of the project is to develop an integrated ecological and socioeconomic land use evaluation model (the Ecosystem Portfolio Model, EPM) for Department of the Interior (DOI) resource managers to use to reconcile the need to maintain the ecological health of South Florida parks and refuges with increasing pressures for higher density development in the agricultural lands outside of the Urban Development Boundary in Miami-Dade County. The EPM has three major components: (1) an ecological value model based on ecological criteria relevant to National Park Service and US Fish & Wildlife Service resource management and species protection mandates; (2) a real estate market-based land value model sensitive to relevant land use/cover attributes indicative of conservation and development decisions; and (3) a set of socioeconomic indicators sensitive to land use/cover changes relevant to regional environmental and ecological planning. The current version is implemented for Miami-Dade County, with the protection of ecological values in the lands between the Everglades and Biscayne National Parks as the focus. The first two components have been implemented in the GIS web-enabled prototype interface and the third component is being developed in draft form in FY08 in consultation with the Florida Atlantic University Dept of Urban and Regional Planning.

 South Florida’s national parks and wildlife refuges are threatened by accelerated growth of the surrounding built environment which alters the natural hydrology and ecology, and introduces harmful levels of sediment, nutrients and toxins. Department of the Interior (DOI) scientists and land managers are faced with major informational and financial challenges and conflicting stakeholder interests in their efforts to manage and protect resources to fulfill their stewardship responsibilities. The web-based EPM will contribute to improved public understanding and awareness of the importance of protecting South Florida habitats and ecosystem functions, as well as the possible externalities associated with upcoming land use decisions.

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. The data was created by Planning and Zoning Department while it is maintained and managed by the GIS Team of the City.

A polygon feature class of East Everglades areas within Miami-Dade County defined in Miami-Dade County's Zoning Code as the Zoning Overlay Ordinance. The intent of the ordinance was to protect and preserve the public and private resources of the East Everglades, and to achieve the goals and objectives of the East Everglades Resources Planning Project. Furthermore, the regulations that were adopted as a result of this ordinance were to protect the East Everglades resources and to limit growth and development in the area.Updated: Every 10 yrs The data was created using: Projected Coordinate System: WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_SphereProjection: Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere

The Miami-Dade County storm surge planning zones are drawn using Sea, Lake and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model grids that incorporate local physical features such as geographic coastal area, bay and river shapes, water depths, bridges, etc. Areas in Miami-Dade along canals, rivers and further inland have been identified as being at risk for storm surge based on this data. The Miami-Dade County storm surge planning zones are drawn using Sea, Lake and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model grids that incorporate local physical features such as geographic coastal area, bay and river shapes, water depths, bridges, etc.Areas in Miami-Dade along canals, rivers and further inland have been identified as being at risk for storm surge based on this data. Each zone or portions will be evacuated depending on the hurricane’s track and projected storm surge, independent of the hurricane’s category. Upon identification of a threat the EOC or County Mayor will use local media to relay pertinent information, such as evacuations and shelter openings. It is important that you monitor the news for this information

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. Pelaez Reason: The Urban Development Boundary (UDB) is updated as a result of Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) amendment approvals, and is subject to Interpretation by the Director of the Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) Department where there are questions pertaining to its alignment.Last updated November 2021.
