Miami 21 Zoning Code Decoder

Unlike traditional zoning, Miami 21 was designed to meet 21st-century development needs. The goal? Create a more walkable, sustainable, and livable city through encouraging mixed-use neighborhoods and connected urban spaces. Miami 21 zoning is included with this map layer in Acres.

These zoning codes look cryptic at first, but they’re actually a shorthand “formula” made up of 3 main parts:

  1. Transect Zone (T1–T6, CS, CI, D1–D3) → Defines overall character (from natural to urban).
  2. Height Range (number after the dash, e.g., -8, -12, -24) → Defines max stories.
  3. Use Modifier (R, L, O) → Defines how restricted or open the allowed uses are.
