Zoning Reservations

In order to establish a Group Home/Adult Living Facility (ALF) or a Low-THC/Medical Cannabis dispensing facility in the unincorporated areas of Miami‐Dade County, owners or operators will need to submit an application with a certified survey to confirm that the proposed application meets the spacing requirements specified in the Miami-Dade County Zoning Code. If the requirements are met, the proposed site will be reserved for 6-months in order to enable the applicant to complete the State of Florida licensing approval and other Code requirements.

Group Home or Adult Living Facility (ALF) spacing reservation
Spacing Requirement: No other Group home/adult living facility shall be located within 1,000 feet radius of the proposed site.
 
Low-THC / Medical Cannabis dispensing facility spacing reservation

• 1 mile from any other low-THC or medical cannabis dispensing facility.
