APPENDIX C. - MIDTOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT
SD-27 MIDTOWN MIAMI SPECIAL DISTRICT
The objective of this District is to promote neighborhood redevelopment through medium to high density mixed
use development. Due to intensity of infill development and redevelopment in the SD-27 Districts, population and
the overall level of commercial and retail activity will greatly increase.
Combined with the proximity of the SD-27 Districts to downtown and other revitalizing neighborhoods,
convenient and reliable transportation along the Midtown Miami Special District can connect the neighborhoods,
jobs, residences and activity centers and expand greater revitalization.
The character of the district is to include a wide range of pedestrian oriented activities that would facilitate a
vibrant mixed-use community setting, permitting the development of flexible live-work spaces as determined by
market forces, including mixed-use loft development. Ground level activities and uses with strong pedestrian
orientation are mandated to front streets to generate a lively pedestrian street life.
The District is intended for medium scale projects of diverse architectural design. Buildings will be restricted as
to height, setbacks, and will require habitable uses for portions of the building closest to the street. Unified
landscaping, paving, street furniture, storefront design, signage and building facade guidelines, as well as
incentives that would allow for the rehabilitation of significant historic resources.
For the purpose of the SD 27, the following definitions shall apply:
Active Uses: The principle component of the SD-27 district is ground floor active uses which promote pedestrianactivity. An active use is any use that provides a public entrance from the street with an interior use that serves the
general public. This may include retail, office, educational facilities, entertainment, and live-work.
Big-Box retailis defined as a single retail store comprised of at least twenty thousand (20,000) square feet.
Build-To Line: An alignment established a certain distance form the base building line to a line along which a
building shall be constructed. Build-to dimensions are established in Sections 627.1.7 and 627.1.8 for each street
frontage and require that primary building frontages (excluding colonnades, arcades and awnings) be constructed
at the dimension provided for a minimum of x (x) percent of the lineal building frontage. Pursuant to Sections
627.1.7 and 627.1.8, colonnades and arcades may encroach the specified build-to line provided a minimum
unobstructed pedestrian space of five (5) feet is provided. Colonnades and arcades shall not encroach upon the
base building line. Furthermore, Build-To lines are subject to compliance with the City of Miami VisionClearance requirements of Article 908.
Gateway: The SD-27 District promotes the design of buildings as gateway structures by providing greater
allowable height at strategic street intersections within the district. The gateway sites shall be as follows:
(1) The Southeast corner of the intersection of North Miami Avenue and Northeast 36th Street;
(2) The Southwest corner of the intersection of Northeast 36th Street and Northeast 2nd Avenue; and

APPENDIX C. - MIDTOWN OVERLAY DISTRICTSec. 627.2. Midtown Miami West.
(3) The Southeast corner of the intersection of Northeast 34th Street and Northeast 1st Place.
Liner Uses: Building uses that serve to conceal uses such as parking garages and service areas. When liner uses
contain ground floor space, such space shall be designed to accommodate retail and/or other uses that promote
pedestrian traffic and shall have entrances directly accessible from a public sidewalk or open space.
Live-work: Live-work describes residential units that have a commercial and/or office component accessed
through an external street entrance. The intent of this use is to provide efficient housing with the opportunity for
workspace that can contribute active uses at the ground floor. Home occupations pursuant to the provisions of
906.5.2 shall also qualify as live-work, except that additional parking, defined in 906.5.2.f. shall not be required.
Mixed Use: The SD-27 District promotes multiple uses within the same lot and on adjoining lots by permittingmultiple principal uses within the underlying district. A mixed use building or parcel exists when there is more
than one use and must include residential and/or live-work use. When the majority of building area is dedicated to
uses other than residential and/or live-work uses, at least ten (10) percent of the total FAR of the building shall be
dedicated to residential and/or live-work uses in order to be classified as a mixed-use building. For the purposes
of calculating mixed uses, live-work uses shall be allowed to count towards residential or commercial uses, but
shall not be allowed to count towards more than one use.
Open Space: Any parcel of land or water, excluding public right of way, that is at ground level or open to the sky
and designed and intended for the common use of the residents, tenant and the general public and may include
parks, linear parks, plazas, and landscape areas. Additionally, canopy trees and large palms planted within
pedestrian zones of the public right-of-way in accordance with the design standards shall respectively each count
as four hundred (400) square feet and one hundred seventy-five (175) square feet of open space. Open Space is
substantially free of structures other than structures that contribute to the common use of the space.
Smart Growth: Planning techniques founded upon and promoting any or all of the following principles:
(1) Using land resources more efficiently through compact building forms, infill development, and moderation
in street and parking standards in order to lessen land consumption and preserve natural resources and promote
multi-modal transportation;
(2) Supporting the location of stores, offices, residences, school, recreation spaces, and other public facilities
within walking distance of each other in compact neighborhoods that are designed to provide alternate
opportunities for easier movement and interaction;
(3) Providing a variety of housing choices to create a diverse community;
(4) Supporting walking, cycling, and transit as attractive alternatives to driving; providing alternative routes that
disperse rather than concentrate traffic congestion; lowering traffic speeds in neighborhoods;
(5) Connecting infrastructure and development decisions to minimize future costs by creating neighborhoods
where more people use existing services and facilities; by integrating development and land use with transit routes
and stations; and
(6) Improving the development standards review process and development standards so that developers are
encouraged to apply the principles stated above.
Story: A space in a building between the surface of any floor and the surface of the next floor above, or if there is
no floor above, then the space between such floor and the ceiling or roof above. Portions of buildings constructed
below grade shall not count toward an allowable number of stories, provided that at least fifty (50) percent of the
total floor perimeter is at least five (5) feet below grade.

(Ord. No. 12447, 2, 11-25-03; Ord. No. 12688, 2, 5-26-05)
Editor's note: Ord. No. 12688, 2, adopted May 26, 2005, changed the title of 627 from "SD-27 FEC
Corridor" to "SD-27 Midtown Miami Special District." The historical notation has been preserved for reference
purposes.
Sec. 627.1. SD-27.1 Midtown Miami East Special District.Sec. 627.2. Midtown Miami West.
Sec. 627.1. SD-27.1 Midtown Miami East Special District.
The Midtown Miami East Special District area is bounded by Northeast 36th Street on the north and FEC
greenway on the east. On the south, the area is bounded by the centerline of Northeast 29th Street between the
FEC Greenway and Midtown Boulevard and by the centerline of Northeast 34th Street between MidtownBoulevard and Buena Vista Avenue. On the west, the area is bounded by the centerline of Buena Vista Avenue
between Northeast 36th Street and Northeast 34th Street and by the centerline of Midtown Boulevard between
Northeast 34th Street and Northeast 29th Street.
627.1.1 Intent.
The Midtown Miami East District regulations are intended to provide for a method to allow for planning
initiatives that achieve unique or innovative development not otherwise provided for in the zoning ordinance.
These planning initiatives may include, but are not limited to, Smart Growth as defined in Section 627. The
standards and procedures of this district are intended to promote flexibility and diversity in design and permit
planned diversification and integration of uses and structures, with limitations and regulations as deemed
necessary to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and to protect the public health, safety, and general
welfare. The SD 27 Design Standards provide more detailed clarification to this ordinance and are incorporatedby reference.
This district is of special and substantial public interest given its proximity to Downtown Miami and the Omni
Area, the Design District, Miami Beach, the Wynwood Neighborhood and to future proposed commuter transit
facilities within the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) Corridor. The intent of the district is to: (1) promote the
efficient use of land resources through compact building forms, infill development, and moderation in street and
parking standards in order to reduce automobile traffic and promote multi-modal transportation; (2) promote the
creation of a Miami midtown environment through intensive urban mixed-use development with a twenty-four
hour activity pattern; (3) Enhance the pedestrian environment and connectivity of the existing surrounding areas
by extending the city street grid through the district; and (4) Provide intensive new housing opportunities needed
to sustain future commercial growth and commuter transit facilities. To this end, the district promotes streetscapes
and mixed-use buildings designed to provide pedestrians with lively, interesting, well-landscaped and highlyusable public spaces with a maximum interrelationship with ground floor building uses.
Concerning building uses and overall buildable area, mixed-use development is encouraged by providing greater
floor area ratios and overall building height than that of single use buildings. Furthermore, additional height is
provided for on sites that abut significant open space and/or are designated as strategically located visual
gateways as defined in Section 627. Yard and setback areas are minimal and are required to be developed as an
integral part of the overall pedestrian streetscape. Ground floor build-to lines are provided in order to establish a
