Doral, FL Building Setbacks & Zoning: Structure Height Limits (2026)

The Sec. 53-127 development standards table fixes a maximum building height for every zoning district in Doral. All five single-family districts, SF-1 through SF-5, share the same 35-foot cap. Multifamily height climbs with density: MF-1 tops out at 40 feet, MF-2 at two stories or 35 feet, MF-3 at six stories or 75 feet, and MF-4, the tallest residential district, at nine stories or 100 feet. On the commercial side, height is measured in stories rather than feet for most districts: O-1 allows four stories, O-3 allows 14 stories, and neighborhood commercial (NC) is capped at four stories or 45 feet.

O-2 offices are limited to six stories under footnote d(1), except that a project may go up to eight stories if the property carries the office-and-residential future land use designation. The remaining commercial and industrial districts, community commercial (CC), industrial commercial (IC), industrial (I) and industrial-restricted (I-R), do not use a fixed story or foot cap at all; instead, height in those districts is limited to the width of the adjacent right-of-way, so a wider abutting road allows a taller building. Height is calculated together with the coverage and setback figures in the same table, and footnote c clarifies that while parking areas are excluded from floor area ratio and coverage totals, parking floors are still counted toward a building's total number of floors and its maximum height. Height variances go through the same site plan and city council variance process as other Sec. 53-127 dimensional standards.
