Naming convention
letter-code

Miramar LDC Chapter 4 (Articles II–III) defines base zoning districts by use category (§402 Residential, §403 Non-Residential & Mixed-Use) with Article III addressing special/transit-oriented and overlay constructs. District codes are letter-prefix with numeric index where the index encodes either Future-Land-Use density tier (RM-10, RM-16, RM-25 mirror the comp-plan Low-Medium 10 / Medium 16 / Medium-High 25 categories) or sequential single-family lot-size rungs (RS-1 → RS-7). Source: Broward County Property Appraiser (BCPA) zoning-definitions roster, which is the authoritative county-level enumeration of every municipality's district codes, plus the City of Miramar Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Element (Policies 1.2A–1.13). Code-body dimensional tables (§402, §403, Ch. 6 parking, Ch. 8 floodplain) remain blocked behind the Municode JS-only SPA; comp-plan FLU density caps provide the primary-source ceiling for RM- and density-encoded districts.

Worth knowing
  • V1 record overlays 'C8CTFFIRMACRS[', 'C8IES', 'LIC8OSDG[', 'LIC8' are Municode-parser garbage tokens (bracket-truncated anchor IDs from Ch. 8 ToC). Discarded in this v2 pass; each of the nine overlay categories has been re-assessed from scratch using the BCPA roster + comp-plan FLUE as primary sources.
  • V1 base districts all carried identical fabricated standards (5,000 sf / 35 ft / 0.5 coverage / 0.5 FAR / 2 spaces / 25-25-10 setbacks) — a default-fill artifact, not data. All v1 numeric values demoted to under_review pending direct fetch of LDC §402/§403.
  • Miramar's actual district roster (per Broward County Property Appraiser zoning-definitions) is far richer than v1's generic C/I/MU stub: E, RL, RS-1, RS-3, RS-4, RS-5, RS-6, RS-7, R-1B (legacy SF), T (mobile park), RM, RM-10, RM-16, RM-25, B-1, B-2, B-3, OP, CR, M-1, PID, EC, ML, MH, CF, OS, CNS, U, PUD, TND, SD1, SD2, SD3.

State preemptions

Florida Live Local Act — SB 102 (2023), Fla. Stat. §166.04151(7)applies
Qualifying condition
Miramar is a Florida municipality with confirmed commercial (B-1/B-2/B-3, OP, EC), industrial (M-1, PID, EC), and mixed-use (ML, MH) base zoning districts (BCPA-published district roster). Statute applies to every Florida municipality regardless of size (no population gate); Miramar population 138,319 (U.S. Census Vintage 2024). By-right multifamily on com/ind/mu parcels where ≥40% of units are at or below 120% AMI. Height floor = tallest residential zoning permitted within 1 mile of parcel. Density floor = highest residential density allowed anywhere in the jurisdiction — for Miramar, that ceiling is set by the Future Land Use Element's MH(25) category at 25 du/ac (Comp Plan Policy 1.3), with the Miramar Regional Activity Center adding 11,060 dwelling units distributed across ~2,205 acres (≈5 du/ac average over RAC) and the Miramar TOC adding 3,406 dwelling units across ~439.7 acres (≈7.7 du/ac TOC average). Pre-SB-328, Live Local floor for Miramar com/ind/mu parcels ≥ 25 du/ac. | overlay_id=FL_LIVE_LOCAL_ACT_SB102_2023
Source
Fla. Stat. §166.04151(7); U.S. Census Vintage 2024 city population estimate; Broward County Property Appraiser zoning-definitions roster (bcpa.net/ZoningDefinitions.htm) — district codes; City of Miramar Comprehensive Plan adopted Jan 20 2021, FLUE Policies 1.3, 1.13, 1.14 — density ceilings, retrieved 2026-05-18 via Wayback (web.archive.org/web/2024/miramarfl.gov/files/.../adopted_city_of_miramar_comprehensive_plan_jan_20_2021_202106290840074724.pdf).
Effect
Base-district use and intensity limits are overridden for qualifying ≥40%-affordable projects on com/industrial/mu parcels. Density floor for Miramar = 25 du/ac (MH(25) is the jurisdiction-wide ceiling). Height floor parcel-conditional on tallest residential zoning within 1 mile of subject.
Florida Live Local Act — SB 328 (2024 amendments), Fla. Stat. §166.04151(7)applies
Qualifying condition
Miramar is a Florida municipality covered by the underlying SB 102 statute (see prior entry). SB 328 (2024) amends §166.04151(7) to (a) cap height-by-right at 150% of the tallest residential zoning within 1 mile when the qualifying parcel is adjacent to a single-family district (Miramar has substantial RS-1 / RS-3 / RS-4 / RS-5 / RS-6 / RS-7 adjacency along Pembroke Road, Miramar Parkway, Red Road, Flamingo Road, and State Road 7/US-441 — adjacency triggers are common), (b) impose a mandatory ≥20% parking reduction (greater reductions near major transit stops, defined as ≥1/2-mile of a fixed-guideway/BRT/major-transfer-station — the Miramar TOC along State Road 7 includes Broward County Transit corridors that may qualify), and (c) clarify that the floor-density determination uses 'highest density anywhere allowed in the jurisdiction' which for Miramar is MH(25) = 25 du/ac. | overlay_id=FL_LIVE_LOCAL_ACT_SB328_2024_AMENDMENTS
Source
Fla. Stat. §166.04151(7) as amended by SB 328 (2024); Miramar Comp Plan FLUE Policies 1.13–1.14 (RAC, TOC); BCPA district roster (single-family adjacency).
Effect
On qualifying com/ind/mu parcels: (1) by-right floor density ≥ 25 du/ac; (2) by-right height capped at 150% of tallest residential zoning within 1 mile when adjacent to SF; (3) mandatory ≥20% parking reduction below base-zone requirement.
Florida HB 1339 (2020) — SAIL/SHIP affordable-housing preemption, Fla. Stat. §166.04151(6)applies
Qualifying condition
Statewide preemption; applies to every Florida municipality regardless of size. Local governments are authorized (but not required) to approve affordable housing on any parcel zoned residential, commercial, or industrial regardless of base-zone limits when funded by SAIL or SHIP. Miramar has no recorded SAIL/SHIP-targeted local override map identified in available primary sources; the statute remains a per-project enabling tool the city may invoke. | overlay_id=FL_AFFORDABLE_HOUSING_PREEMPTION_HB1339_2020
Source
Fla. Stat. §166.04151(6).
Effect
Local option to approve affordable residential on any non-agricultural zone when project is SAIL- or SHIP-funded.
Florida Comprehensive Plan Consistency — Fla. Stat. §163.3180applies
Qualifying condition
Statewide concurrency mandate; Miramar has an adopted Comprehensive Plan (Jan 20 2021 adoption per FLUE cover page) that controls density, intensity, and use distribution. Every Miramar development order must be consistent with the Plan and concurrency management system (transportation, schools, potable water, sewer, solid waste, drainage, parks). For Miramar the Plan establishes a hierarchy of FLU categories (Rural at 1 du / 2.5 ac, Estate at 1 du/ac, Low 2 / Low 3 / Low 5 / Low-Medium 10 / Medium 16 / Medium-High 25 du/ac) plus Mixed-Use, Activity-Center, RAC, TOC and Industrial categories that the LDC zoning districts must match. | overlay_id=FL_COMPREHENSIVE_PLAN_CONSISTENCY_163_3180
Source
Fla. Stat. §163.3180; City of Miramar Comprehensive Plan FLUE Policies 1.2, 1.2A, 1.3 (density categories), 1.13 (RAC), 1.14 (TOC).
Effect
Base-district intensity values are subordinate to comprehensive-plan consistency review; zoning-FLU equivalency is required.
Florida Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) — Fla. Stat. §163.3178applies
Qualifying condition
Miramar is inland but lies within Broward County's adopted coastal planning area; the CHHA per §163.3178(2)(h) is the SLOSH Category 1 hurricane storm-surge zone. Broward County's mapped CHHA reaches portions of eastern Miramar east of the Florida Turnpike/I-75 corridor, so CHHA applies on a per-parcel geographic basis. Density increases on CHHA parcels require a comprehensive-plan amendment finding on hurricane-evacuation clearance and mitigation under §163.3178(8). | overlay_id=FL_COASTAL_HIGH_HAZARD_AREA_163_3178
Source
Broward County Local Mitigation Strategy + Broward CHHA map; Fla. Stat. §163.3178(2)(h),(8); Miramar Comp Plan FLUE references to coastal planning area.
Effect
CHHA-overlapping parcels face density-increase review constraints at the plan-amendment level; base-district field values are not directly overridden.
Florida Short-Term Rental Preemption — Fla. Stat. §509.032(7)applies
Qualifying condition
Statewide preemption of local STR bans and duration/frequency limits enacted post-June 2011. Miramar has no confirmed pre-June-2011 vacation-rental ordinance identified in primary-source review (city Code-of-Ordinances ToC and Land-Development-Code ToC do not list a vacation-rental chapter; no grandfather record surfaced); absent grandfather evidence, the statewide preemption controls. DBPR vacation-rental licensing is required. | overlay_id=FL_SHORT_TERM_RENTAL_PREEMPTION_509_032
Source
Fla. Stat. §509.032(7); Miramar LDC/Code-of-Ordinances Municode ToC scan (pre-2011 STR ordinance not identified); Broward County DBPR vacation-rental license records.
Effect
Residential districts (RS-1, RS-3 → RS-7, RM-10, RM-16, RM-25, RM, E, RL, T) cannot outright prohibit short-term rentals; general zoning (noise, parking, life-safety) applied uniformly remains enforceable.
Florida Building Code Preemption — Fla. Stat. §553.73applies
Qualifying condition
Statewide — the Florida Building Code is the exclusive statewide construction code; local technical amendments require Florida Building Commission approval under §553.73(4). Miramar lies within Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) for FBC purposes (Broward County is HVHZ along with Miami-Dade), so HVHZ FBC requirements apply uniformly. | overlay_id=FL_BUILDING_CODE_PREEMPTION_553_73
Source
Fla. Stat. §553.73; FBC 8th Edition (2023) HVHZ map (Broward County included).
Effect
Construction-standard fields are state-preempted; this affects building envelope/structural fields, not zoning field values.
Florida Bert J. Harris, Jr. Private Property Rights Protection Act — Fla. Stat. §70.001applies
Qualifying condition
Statewide; applies to every Florida municipality including Miramar. Owners may bring inordinate-burden claims; operates as a litigation-risk backstop for any new Miramar regulation that inordinately burdens an existing use or vested right. Particularly relevant for any down-zoning of Miramar PUD/PRD-developed parcels (the city's commentary that 'new PUDs are no longer permitted' leaves existing PUDs as vested-rights territory) and for any Live Local Act conflicts with adjacent SF neighborhoods. | overlay_id=FL_BERT_HARRIS_ACT_70_001
Source
Fla. Stat. §70.001.
Effect
Exposure-review backstop for down-zonings or new restrictions; not a direct field override.
Non-applicable laws (1)
Florida Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) — Fla. Stat. Ch. 161does_not_apply
Qualifying condition
Miramar is an inland municipality in southwest Broward County (approx. 12 miles inland from the Atlantic). Its corporate limits do not front the Atlantic Ocean — the eastern boundary is roughly Palm Avenue/SW 64th Avenue. FDEP CCCL applies only to parcels seaward of the mapped coastal construction control line, which in Broward County runs through the coastal cities (Hollywood, Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Hallandale Beach). No parcels within Miramar are seaward of the CCCL. | overlay_id=FL_COASTAL_CONSTRUCTION_CONTROL_LINE_CH161
Source
FDEP CCCL coverage map (Broward County segment); City of Miramar corporate-limits geometry (U.S. Census TIGER place boundary 2024).
Effect
No parcels within Miramar are in CCCL jurisdiction.

Quirks & notes

  • V1 record overlays 'C8CTFFIRMACRS[', 'C8IES', 'LIC8OSDG[', 'LIC8' are Municode-parser garbage tokens (bracket-truncated anchor IDs from Ch. 8 ToC). Discarded in this v2 pass; each of the nine overlay categories has been re-assessed from scratch using the BCPA roster + comp-plan FLUE as primary sources.
  • V1 base districts all carried identical fabricated standards (5,000 sf / 35 ft / 0.5 coverage / 0.5 FAR / 2 spaces / 25-25-10 setbacks) — a default-fill artifact, not data. All v1 numeric values demoted to under_review pending direct fetch of LDC §402/§403.
  • Miramar's actual district roster (per Broward County Property Appraiser zoning-definitions) is far richer than v1's generic C/I/MU stub: E, RL, RS-1, RS-3, RS-4, RS-5, RS-6, RS-7, R-1B (legacy SF), T (mobile park), RM, RM-10, RM-16, RM-25, B-1, B-2, B-3, OP, CR, M-1, PID, EC, ML, MH, CF, OS, CNS, U, PUD, TND, SD1, SD2, SD3.
  • RM-10, RM-16, RM-25 are density-encoded — the numeric index directly mirrors the Comp Plan FLUE category caps of 10 du/ac (Low-Medium 10), 16 du/ac (Medium 16), and 25 du/ac (Medium-High 25). MH(25) at 25 du/ac is the highest residential density anywhere in Miramar and therefore sets the Live Local Act jurisdiction-wide density floor.
  • New PUDs are no longer permitted per city commentary; existing PUD/PRD approvals persist as legacy district-type overlays on individual parcels.
  • The Miramar Regional Activity Center (RAC, ~2,205 ac) and the Miramar TOC (Activity Center II along SR-7/US-441, ~439.7 ac) operate as program-cap overlays atop base FLU — they raise the DRI review threshold but per Policy 1.13(b) do not change FLUM densities or LDC field values. Both carry city-specific land-use programs (RAC: 11,060 units + 13.16M sf non-residential; TOC: 3,406 units + 4.75M sf non-residential + 250 hotel rooms + 61.31 ac park).
  • Miramar is in Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) for Florida Building Code purposes — affects construction standards uniformly across the city.
  • Northern Miramar falls under FAA Part 77 surfaces for North Perry Airport (KHWO); federal review parallel to local zoning. No AICUZ (no military airfield — 'Miramar' MCAS is in San Diego County, CA, not Florida).
  • The Florida Live Local Act applies to every Florida municipality regardless of size; for Miramar the by-right density floor is 25 du/ac (the MH(25) ceiling). SB 328 (2024) adds a mandatory ≥20% parking reduction and a 150%-of-tallest-residential-within-1-mile height cap when the qualifying parcel is adjacent to a single-family district — Miramar's extensive RS- adjacency along its arterials makes this adjacency trigger frequently relevant.

Formulas

Definitions

height
Grade to highest point of structure (per Miramar LDC Ch. 4 — Definitions; specific subsection citation not captured due to Municode SPA blocker).
lot_coverage
Building footprint area / lot area (standard definition; city-specific citation under_review).
far
Gross floor area / lot area (standard definition; city-specific citation under_review).
du_ac
Dwelling units per gross acre (Miramar Comp Plan defines 'gross density' as dwelling units divided by gross acreage including streets, lakes, waterways).
setback_front
Front property line to nearest principal building face.
setback_side
Side property line to nearest principal building face.
setback_rear
Rear property line to nearest principal building face.
parking
Spaces per dwelling unit or per 1,000 sf NFA depending on use class (city-specific ratios in LDC Ch. 6 — not captured).
