PZR Offers Due Diligence Reports for Miami 21 Zoning Codes
Miami, FL (PRWEB) September 30, 2013 -- Zoning ordinances govern the sizes and specifications of properties throughout the Miami Metro. In dealing with a real estate transaction, zoning due diligence is required to ensure the subject property is compliant with zoning standards established by the City of Miami.
The Miami 21 Zoning Code is a Form-Based Zoning Code that is replacing the previous Euclidean Zoning Codes. According to the City of Miami, Euclidean Zoning Codes are characterized by establishing and regulating land based on use, such as: residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial. Whereas, Form-Based Codes are a method of regulating development to achieve a specific urban form and places an emphasis on the relationship between the street and buildings, pedestrian and vehicles, public and private spaces, and the relationship between multiple developments with a secondary focus on land use regulations.
Zoning codes become important for investigation of zoning due diligence and will identify if the property can be used for new business, the number of parking spaces required by zoning variances, if the building structure is not in compliance, property is involved in a legal dispute unknown to others, zoning codes have recently changed and require remodeling/additions and more.
