MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 7. PROCEDURES AND NONCONFORMITIES
AS ADOPTED - MAY 2015
7.1.2.8 Amendment to Miami 21 Code
a. Successional Zoning. The City's growth and evolution over time will inevitably require changes
to the boundaries of certain Transect Zones. These changes shall occur successionally, in which
the zoning change may be made only to a lesser Transect Zone; within the same Transect Zone
to a greater or lesser intensity; or to the next higher Transect Zone, or through a Special Area
Plan. All changes shall maintain the goals of this Code to preserve Neighborhoods and to provide
transitions in Intensity, Density, Building Height and Scale.
1. When a CI zoned property ceases to be used for Civic functions, the successional rezoning
is determined by identifying the lowest Intensity Abutting Transect Zone, and rezoning to that
Zone's next higher Intensity Zone.
2. For a property of nine (9) acres or more, a successional change shall require a Special Area
Plan as described in Article 3.
3. For all successional zoning changes of less than nine (9) acres, refer to the table below.

MIAMI 21 ARTICLE 7. PROCEDURES AND NONCONFORMITIES
AS ADOPTED - MAY 2015
The Planning Department shall make a recommendation as to which Transect Zone will yield the
most coherent pattern given the established zoning pattern and context in the immediate vicinity.
b. The Miami 21 Code may be amended by amending the Miami 21 Atlas or by amending the text
of this Code.
1. Miami 21 Atlas amendments (also referred to as a "rezoning", including Special Area Plans)
may only be applied for at two times of the year, which times shall be set yearly by the City
Commission. A rezoning to a CS Transect Zone, and any rezoning initiated by the City shall
be exempt from the twice yearly schedule. The Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board shall
make recommendations to the City Commission for such amendments to the Miami 21 Code.
2. Every two years, the City may conduct a comprehensive review of the Miami 21 Atlas to
evaluate the development direction of the City's neighborhoods and determine if additional
amendments are appropriate.
3. Amendments to the text of the Miami 21 Code (including tables and diagrams) may be made
only upon application of a city official and may be considered at any time during the year.

No. 97-321. 1 June 25, 1997.
Homeowners association sought review of decision by
county commissioners which rezoned 0.23 acre tract in
neighborhood from agricultural use to business use so that
owner could operate feed store. The Circuit Court, Dade
County, Donner, Ramirez, and Miller, JJ., affirmed. On
petition for writ of certiorari, the District Court of Appeal,
Schwartz, C.J., held that rezoning constituted
impermissible spot zoning.
Certiorari granted and cause remanded.

Opinion
SCHWARTZ, Chief Judge.
The Dade County Commission rezoned a tiny, 0.23 acre
tract in the middle of a West Dade area known as "Horse
Country" from AU (Agricultural Use) to BU -3 (Business
Use -3) solely and admittedly so the owner could operate a
feed store -which is forbidden in an AU zone, but
permitted (along with many other uses) in BU -3. No other
BU zoning is anywhere close. On the face of it, the
rezoning resolution embodies, to the nth degree, all the
evils of spot zoning,' Parking Facilities, Inc. v. City of
Miami Beach, 88 So.2d 141 (Fla.1956); Dade County v.
Frohme, 489 So.2d 140 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986); see Debes v.
City of Key West, 690 So.2d 700 (Fla. 3d DCA
1997)(reverse spot zoning), specific -use -oriented zoning,
Debes, 690 So.2d at 700; see ABG Real Estate Dev. Co. v.
St. Johns County, 608 So.2d 59 (Fla. 5th DCA 1992),
cause dismissed, 613 So.2d 8 (Fla. 1993), and
power -imposed zoning, Debes; Allapattah Community
Assn v. City of Miami, 379 So.2d 387 (Fla. 3d DCA
1980), cert. denied, 386 So.2d 635 (Fla, 1980), which have
been universally proscribed. The circuit court's
affirmance' of that decision, which is *910 now under
review, thus represents a fundamental departure from the
controlling law resulting in a miscarriage of justice, and is
therefore quashed. See Haines City Community Dev. v.
Heggs, 658 So.2d 523 (Fla. 1995); Debes.
The cause is remanded for the circuit court to reverse the
resolution in question.
Certiorari granted.

t The extent of the violation of this principle is so pronounced in this case that the term "spot zoning" does not do it
justice. Perhaps "melanoma zoning" or, for short, "melazoning" would be more appropriate.

Bird -Kendall Homeowners Ass'n v. Metropolitan Dade County..., 695 So.2d 908 (1997)
22 Fla. L. Weekly D1536
The court's decision came only on rehearing granted after it had first reversed the resolution. The initial opinion by
Judge Miller correctly states:
Appellants, BIRD KENDALL HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC., and RICHARD STILL, contend that the
METRO DADE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, the Appellee, permitted illegal spot zoning
and that its decision constituted unlawful contract zoning. We agree.
This court's standard of review for zoning cases requires us to determine whether the Appellee accorded the
appellants due process, observed the essential requirements of the law and supported its decision with substantial
competent evidence. Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County v. Snyder, 627 So.2d 469 (Fla. 1993).
In Snyder, the Supreme Court adopted a strict scrutiny standard for quasi-judicial review of rezoning orders to
determine whether the requested rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive development master plan and
complies with all the procedural requirements of the zoning ordinance.
Turning now to the central issue on appeal, we address whether appellees' actions constituted spot zoning. The
definition of spot zoning is well established:
Spot zoning is the name given to the piecemeal rezoning of small parcels of land to a greater density, leading
to disharmony with the surrounding area. Spot zoning is usually thought of as giving preferential treatment to
one parcel at the expense of the zoning scheme as a whole.
Southwest Ranches Homeowners Assoc. v. Broward County, 502 So.2d 931, 935 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987). Further,
the Third District Court of Appeal detailed spot zoning as:
(A] rezoning which creates a small island of property with restrictions on its use different from that of surrounding
properties -solely for the benefit of a particular property owner.
City Commission of the City of Miami v. Woodlawn Park Cemetery Co., 553 So.2d 1227, 1240 (Fla. 3d DCA
1989). In characterizing the elements of spot zoning, a spot zoning challenge typically involves the examination
of the following:
1) the size of the spot; 2) the compatibility with the surrounding area; 3) the benefit to the owner and 4) the
detriment to the immediate neighborhood. Parking Facilities, Inc. v. City of Miami Beach, 88 So.2d 141
(Fla.1956) and Dade County v. Inversiones Rafamar S.A., 360 So•2d 1130 (Fla. 3d DCA 1978).
This case involves a 4.24 acre parcel of land zoned AU which is smaller than the 5 acre gross area minimum
required in an AU zone. Appellee rezoned .23 acres of the property or five percent of the property to a BU -3
classification permitting the operation of an animal feed supply business. Moreover, expert testimony confirmed
that no other land in all of Horse Country is zoned BU -3. This would be the only BU -3 zoning in this two square
mile area.... Not only would this zoning change have the effect of changing the AU zoning character of this entire
neighborhood, but the only benefit that would arise from this change would inure solely to the owner.... This
change would in turn hurt the rest of the residents and the essential nature of this two square mile area.
Based on the evidence, it is clear that the changed zoning ... does not comply with established zoning law. Snyder
at 475. Appellees' granting of Resolution 2-230-94 which permits commercial development in a residential
community will lead only to the future disintegration of this area.
