Comments:

The City of Miramar designated the area along SR 7 from Pembroke Road to County Line Road as a TOC on its future land use map in 2009, and designated the area as TOC in its zoning code in 2012.

The City is undertaking a major effort to update its comprehensive plan, zoning, and land development code in tandem with the development of a multimodal transportation plan. This coordinated effort includes reviewing city goals and the policies and guidelines that implement those goals, including developing and refining mixed use and transit-oriented development regulations. The City is making the code more consistent and streamlined, adjusting the building heights, and updating the parking requirements in areas designated TOC so that mixed use development can receive parking reductions.

The City is undertaking the zoning code updates first, which are anticipated to be completed by late 2017 or early 2018. The City will begin a major update of its comprehensive plan in Summer 2017.
