Development Impact Committee

The Developmental Impact Committee (DIC) consists of representatives from different County Departments that review and make recommendations regarding many large-scale zoning actions.

For example, the DIC reviews zoning applications that exceed 250 residential units; business uses in excess of 10 acres or 100,000 square feet of retail area; office buildings in excess of 125,000 square feet of office space; industrial uses located on properties in excess of 50 acres; and more.

Additionally, the DIC reviews and recommends to the applicable Board whether, and to the extent which, the proposed development permitted by the approval of the zoning action requested will efficiently use or unduly burden water, sewer, solid waste disposal, education, recreation or other necessary public facilities or public transportation facilities, including roads, streets and highways, which have been constructed or planned and budgeted for construction in the area, and whether the proposed development will have a favorable or unfavorable impact on the economy of Miami-Dade County, Florida.
