Form-Based Zoning

Miami 21 is the first city wide form based code replacing the city's Euclidean form based code. The plan provides predictability of future development supported by the specific guidelines and regulations of the form based zoning code. The result of over 500 meeting, charrettes, and workshops. The new code encourages mixes of commercial and residential uses along major corridors, seeks to reduce the impact of large-scale development, and requires new buildings to conceal parking while meeting the sidewalk with active fronts like shops, offices and homes.
