It is the intent of this district to encourage the use of public transportation--Metrorail, Metromover and Metrobus--through incentives such as a shuttle system and the incentives provided in this district. Because of its central location and accessibility to public transportation and because of the unique nature of this coordinated health care delivery area, with the resulting unique problems and characteristics relating to parking spaces, traffic flow, directional signs, and landscaping, it is the intent of this district, insofar as possible, to treat all the land in the district as a single entity, rather than individual parcels. Sec. 610.2. Effect. The effect of these regulations shall be to modify regulations within portions of the existing zoning districts indicated in the official City of Miami zoning atlas which are located within the boundaries of this district and have an underlying G/I zoning district classification, and to address the particular needs created by the delivery of health care to the community.
