Rendering of the Bird Road Corridor Urban Area Zoning District

The Bird Road Corridor Urban Area (BRCUA) zoning district was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in 2013 and implements many of the recommendations of the Bird Road Corridor Study. Uses permitted in the BRCUA district include retail, office, restaurant, hotel, residential and civic.

For a complete list of permitted uses and specific restrictions or limitations in the BRCUA district, refer to the adopted Code of Miami-Dade County.

Regulating Plans

Permitted uses, building, height, designated open spaces and certain other requirements are controlled by regulating plans. Specific information on permitted use, building, height and residential density for each property in the BRCUA district is available in the Land Management map.

Specific regulating plans for land use, sub-districts, designated open space and new streets are available in PDF format.

Building Placement

Building placement, including setback requirements, vary based on use and location within the BRCUA district. Specific requirements for building placement are provided in the Standard Urban Center District Regulations.

Parking, Open Space and Other Requirements

Minimum requirements for parking, open space, landscape, walls and fences, and signage are provided in the Standard Urban Center District Regulations.

Plan Review

New development and additions to existing buildings that comply with applicable zoning requirements require approval through the Administrative Site Plan Review (ASPR) procedure. Before the ASPR can begin, a pre-application review for the proposed development is required.

ASPR is not required for interior and exterior improvements to existing buildings that do not expand the building area.
