Severable Use Rights
The use of Severable Use Rights may be authorized in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 33B, Code of Miami-Dade County. The provisions of this chapter are intended to facilitate the protection of the East Everglades resources and thereby permit growth and development in the county through a specified management program knows as the Severable Use Rights process. Through the approval of a severable use rights application a development bonus in the form of an increase in the intensity and/or density of development is allowed for a specific parcel of land. These applications are reviewed in the Zoning Evaluation Unit for conformance with the Chapter 33B requirements. Please click here

Substantial Compliance Applications
The Substantial Compliance Review Process is applicable in those instances when a site plan for future development has been approved by the Board of County Commissioners, the Community Zoning Appeals Board or any previous zoning board, and at the time of building permit application the developer finds that some minor modifications need to be made to the approved plans. The supervisor of the Zoning Evaluation Unit reviews the proposal against the previously approved hearing plan and a final determination on the approval or denial of the Substantial Compliance Application is made by the Zoning Services Division Chief.
