Wysong III, City Attorney Gec"te4C. wys°r'g rjl DATE: September 19, 2025 RE: Ordinance No. 24375 — Zoning Text - Ancillary Dwelling Units and Related Structures File No. 17018 At its June 17, 2025, meeting, the City Commission adopted the above -referenced agenda item, PZ.13, to amend Ordinance No. 13114, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended, ("Miami 21 Code"), specifically to introduce Ancillary Dwelling Unit ("ADU") regulations and standards and to clarify the Transect Zones that allow for ADUs. Article 6 of the Miami 21 Code was amended to update ADU minimum and maximum unit sizes. The legislation initially contemplated allowing ADUs in the T3-R Transect Zones. However, a substitution memorandum was submitted with updated legislation that removed the T3-R Transect Zones from the allowable locations for ADUs, which was ultimately adopted by the City Commission. The substituted legislation removed the T3-R Transect Zones, but contained a scrivener's error as it inadvertently left language under T3-R regarding allowable sizes of ADUs in Article 6. The Legislation has been corrected and incremented to Revision B.
