Miami-Dade Code Chapter 33C designates Rapid Transit Zones along Metrorail and SMART Plan corridors, allowing higher density mixed-use development near stations under county-controlled standards.
Chapter 33C creates Rapid Transit Zone (RTZ) regulations that override municipal zoning along Metrorail rights-of-way and at designated SMART Plan corridor stations. The RTZ promotes transit-oriented communities with higher densities, reduced parking, and pedestrian-oriented design within walking distance of stations. Subzones tailor uses for residential, mixed-use, or employment focus. Recent SMART Plan expansion uses similar overlays along the South Dade Transitway and other rapid transit corridors. State Live Local Act provisions (FL 166.04151) further allow affordable housing density bonuses on commercial and mixed-use sites, layered atop RTZ standards.
Construction outside RTZ allowances or without site plan approval triggers stop-work, civil penalties under Chapter 8CC, and code enforcement liens.
