CITY COMMISSION

The proposed code is a form -based code which places
emphasis on the form of a structure and the relationship of
the buildings to each other rather than on their use. This
approach provides clear and specific guidelines and is a
long-term investment in the preservation and improvement
to the quality of life of our City and its neighborhoods. The
proposed legislation applies to the East Quadrant of the
City specifically depicted in Exhibit "A" "Miami 21 Atlas."
This legislation contains a repealer provision and a
severability clause; and provides for an effective date.
