Residential R Code Rewrite

On Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025, Miami Shores Village hosted a vibrant community workshop at 9900 NE 2nd Avenue, led by the Planning and Zoning Department. The focus? Reimagining the single-family residential “R” zoning district to better reflect the needs, values, and vision of our residents.

The evening featured a detailed presentation from Village staff, interactive community surveys, and open discussions on key zoning topics like setbacks, accessory structures, landscaping, and more. Over 30 neighbors attended, sharing thoughtful feedback and fresh ideas about how we can preserve the unique charm of our neighborhoods while planning for a future that works for everyone.

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 for a subsequent public workshop 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.
