Residential R Code Rewrite

On Thursday, July 17th, 2025, the Miami Shores Planning and Zoning Department hosted a second community workshop at Village hall focused on the single-family residential "R" zoning district. Over 20 engaged residents participated in a lively discussion where staff presented visuals to explain key zoning elements like setbacks, roof heights, lot coverage, and driveway standards - to name a few. Residents provided valuable input-sharing what they appreciate about the current code and suggesting improvements for the future. This feedback is helping shape a shared vision for responsible, community-focused development

Your voice matters. If you couldn’t make it, there’s still time to get involved! We’re collecting input as we work towards determining a future date sometime in the fall for a subsequent Planning and Zoning Board public meeting in seeking to update our zoning regulations in a way that protects neighborhood character, encourages smart growth, and ensures development fits seamlessly into our community.

Join the conversation and help shape the next chapter of Miami Shores. Share your ideas and let’s build a future we’re all proud to call home.
