SPONSOR(S): Mayor Francis X. Suarez
WHEREAS, on October 22, 2009, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 13114
as the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, which has been amended from time to
time ("Miami 21 Code"); and
WHEREAS, Waivers permit minor deviations from the Miami 21 Code in certain
specified circumstances as provided in the various Articles of the Miami 21 Code and as
consistent with the Guiding Principles in Article 2 of the Miami 21 Code; and
WHEREAS, the Miami 21 Task Force, appointed by the City Commission, made
recommendations to simplify the review, permitting, and public hearing processes leading to
increased consistency and predictability; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance proposed to amend the Miami 21 Code to provide applicants
and City of Miami ("City") staff with increased clarity and a more streamlined process as
summarized below:
• Waiver 1. Parking reductions for Elderly Housing or for Adaptive Uses in Community
Redevelopment Areas ("CRA") (Article 3, Section 3.6.1 and 3.6.7). This amendment
clarifies parking requirements for Adaptive Reuse in CRAs as per Article 7 of the Miami
City of Miami Page 1 of 78 File ID: 14196 (Revision: A) Printed On: 7/15/2025
File ID: 14196 Enactment Number: 14235
21 Code. For Elderly Housing parking reductions, this amendment clarifies eligibility,
updates criteria, and replaces the Waiver process with a Warrant process.
• Waiver 10. Substitution of loading berths (Article 4, Table 5). This amendment removes
the Waiver and allows existing loading berth substitutions By Right. This amendment
also introduces new loading berth substitutions for projects greater 500,000 square feet
by process of Warrant. The revised text reduces the required Drive Aisle widths and
clarifies that no further adjustments to the Drive Aisle or Loading dimensional standards
are allowed. In addition, the updated text removes unnecessary loading berth Setbacks
as this is regulated elsewhere in the Miami 21 Code.
• Waiver 11. Required parking within one thousand feet of the site that it serves (Article 4,
Table 4). This amendment introduces a requirement for a covenant for the sending and
receiving sites and also clarifies that a sending site shall not be within 500 feet of a T3
Transect Zone. This amendment aims to ensure adequate parking will be maintained at
the receiving site and mitigate impacts on adjacent neighborhoods.
• Waiver 14. Service and Parking access from Principal Frontage (Article 5, Sections
5.4.2.e, 5.5.2.e and 5.6.2.f). This amendment clarifies the location of loading and
service entries and situations when they may be allowable on Primary Frontages.
• Waiver 15. Pedestrian and vehicular entry spacing. (Article 5,
Sections 5.5.1.f, 5.5.4.e, 5.6.1.f and 5.6.4.g). This amendment provides a new definition
for Pedestrian Entrance and clarifies that emergency exits do not fulfill requirement
frequency of Pedestrian Entrances with the aim of improving streetscape design and
activation of the public realm. Amendment also removes duplicative Vehicular Entry
requirement.
• Waiver 19. Primary and Secondary Frontage Parking placement (Article 5,
Sections 5.5.4.d, 5.5.4.e, 5.6.4.d and 5.6.4.e). This amendment adjusts garage
screening requirements depending on parking configuration and Frontage. The
amendment maintains the existing one-story Waiver option and introduces a new By
Right option requiring two -stories of habitable space that incentivizes higher quality
design on Frontages. The proposed amendment also removes the automatic referral to
the Urban Development Review Board ("UDRB").
• Waiver 20. Reduction of reservoir parking space (Article 6, Table 13). This amendment
removes the Waiver for reservoir parking reductions to ensure adequate reservoir
parking is provided on -site and minimizes potential for vehicular queuing within the
adjacent right-of-way.
• Waiver 26. Modification to nonconforming Off-street Parking facilities involving
restoration or rehabilitation of an existing Building or an adaptive Use (Article 7, Section
7.2.8). This amendment incentivizes existing nonconforming properties to come into
greater conformance with the Miami 21 Code. The revised text modifies thresholds for
when a Waiver is required.
WHEREAS, the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board ("PZAB"), at its meeting on June
14, 2023, following an advertised public hearing, adopted Resolution No. PZAB-R-23-067 by a
vote of nine to zero (9 - 0), Item No. PZAB. 8, recommending approval of the Zoning Text
Change; and

The shared Parking
Standards Table provides
the method for calculating
shared parking for
buildings with more than
one Use type. It refers to
the parking requirements
that appear in Table 4.
The parking required for
any two Functions on a
Lot is calculated by
dividing the number of
spaces required by the
lesser of the two uses by
the appropriate factor
from this Table and
adding the result to the
greater use parking
requirement.
For instance: for a
building with a Residential
Use requiring 100 spaces
and a Commercial Use
requiring 20 spaces, the
20 spaces divided by the
sharing factor of 1.2
would reduce the total
requirement to 100 plus
17 spaces. For uses not
indicated in this chart on a
mixed use lot a sharing
factor of 1.1 shall be
allowed. Additional
sharing is allowed by
Warrant.
