Regulating use is an important component of any
zoning code. Miami 21 Zoning Code prioritizes building
form (shape and bulk) over the regulation of use to
allow for mixed-use development.
The T4 zone is a new zoning category for Miami that allows for a
transition of building massing (size and bulk) between single family
and multi-family housing. Additionally, the option of adding some
small neighborhood businesses and offices allows for the traditional
mom and pop corner store and for small business owners to live
near their establishments.
