PURPOSE
2
3
The purpose and intent of this regulation is to maximize the presence of a dedicated
4
mass transit center located within walking distance of the boundaries of the
5
proposed district. The maximum utilization of that facility will be achieved through
6
the creation of a district that surrounds this major mass transit facility and is
7
designed to encourage a mix of high density uses, specifically residential, retail and
8
office uses. It also will provide for the continuation of existing light industrial uses
9
but encourage redevelopment throughout the Transit - Oriented Development District
10
(T.O.D.D.) through flexible and performance oriented zoning and other regulations.
11
12
The regulation is intended to promote efficiency of land use, decrease vehicular
13
traffic, provide convenience, establish a harmonious mix of uses all within a
14
pedestrian friendly environment. The Transit Oriented Development District
15
(T.O.D.D.) is designed to encourage a strong base of residential development,
16
coupled with the complementary provisions for retail services and local employment
17
opportunities all within acceptable walking distances. To accomplish this goal the
18
code ties together intense new development with a high quality pedestrian
19
environment. This is accomplished through a series of bonuses that ties residential
20
development, higher densities, and lessened dependence on vehicular traffic together

11
12 SEC. 20 -8.12 ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS - INTENT.
13
14 The Architectural Standards are pre- approved and are intended to provide a
15 degree of predictability about the quality of building designs and to promote
16 harmony among buildings without requiring an appearance before and
17 approval by a review board for everyone project. Applicants with projects
18 which conform to these standards may obtain approval from the Departmental
19 staff without appearing before ERPB. Appearance before ERPB remains an
20 optional route. Every permissible option is not described herein: other options
21 may be approved by ERPB.
22
23 Wherever these Architectural Standards may conflict with the City of South
24 Miami Land Development Code, these Architectural Standards must apply for
25 properties within the T.O.D.D. District.
26
27 The lists of permitted materials and configurations come from study of
28 traditional buildings found in South Florida and have been selected for their
29 appropriateness to the visual environment and climate.
30
31 A primary goal for the Architectural Standards is authenticity. The Standards
32 encourage construction which is straightforward and functional, and which
33 draws its ornament and variety from the traditional assembly of genuine
34 materials. The Standards generally discourage imitation materials, such as
35 stimulated wood to avoid a tacky image for the neighborhood.
