What is Zoning? Zoning controls the use and development of land and buildings for the health, welfare and safety of the community.

What is Setback? A setback is the required minimum horizontal distance between the front, sides, and rear of the lot to the building.

What is the maximum lot coverage permitted? There is no restriction on lot coverage in this zoning district except as it might be controlled by other specific requirements such as parking, setbacks and landscaping requirements.

Are retail uses permitted in this zone? Yes, with certain limitations. A percentage of the floor area may be devoted to retail sales if the item being retailed is either assembled, manufactured, or stored on the balance of the premises. Certain restrictions apply. For further information see Section 33-259(62) (a) and (b) of the Miami-Dade County code.

Can I have an electrically charged barbed wire fenced? Electrically charged fences are not permitted. However, a barbed wire fence is permitted so long as it has no more than 3 strands of barbed wire and is placed on top of a fence at least 6 feet in height.
