ZONING HEARING APPLICATION,
WITH INSTRUCTIONS AND CHECKLIST
FILING
Applications for zoning public hearings must be filed in person with the Zoning Hearing Section of the
Miami-Dade County Department of Planning & Zoning, located on the 11th floor of the Stephen P. Clark
Center, 111 N.W. First Street. Applications may only be filed during the twice-monthly 3-day filing
periods. The 1st filing period begins on the 1st Monday of the month, with the 2nd filing period beginning
on the 3rd Monday. Filing periods run for 3 consecutive days ending on Wednesday. Information on
what constitutes a complete application, as well as required forms, are available at the Zoning Hearings
Section.
APPOINTMENTS
Applicants are encouraged to meet with Zoning Hearing Specialists prior to filing to obtain information on
the hearing process and filing requirements, to go over completed applications and forms, and to review
plans. It is important to ensure applications are complete and in order at the time of filing. Call (305) 3752640 during normal working hours to schedule appointments to file applications or arrange for a pre-filing
review. Incomplete applications will be rejected.
FILE PROCESSING STEPS
Within 40 days of filing zoning hearing applications received by the Department are reviewed and a final
ad prepared by the Zoning Hearing Specialist is e-mailed and mailed to the applicant, who has 10 days
to concur that the advertisement accurately reflects the intent of the applicant. The applicant may modify
the requests or plans to improve the application, but may only submit those changes during the filing
period (See “Filing”) above. If during the review by the Zoning Hearing Specialist, problems are found
with the file or plans submitted, the applicant will be sent a deficiency letter within 40 days of filing. The
file will be placed on hold and will not be processed further until compliance is received.
DEPARTMENT REVIEWS
When the file is accepted by the Zoning Hearings Section, it is scanned and distributed to these County
Departments who must review the request and provide comments for the recommendation. All
departments are expected to provide written comments promptly to avoid delays in the hearing
recommendation process.
RECOMMENDATION PROCESS
After the applicant has reviewed the ad and all departmental comments have been received, the file is
forwarded to the Zoning Evaluation Section. The Zoning Evaluation Section is responsible for preparing
a detailed analysis and formulating the Department‟s recommendation on all zoning hearings. Within
approximately 50 days of the ad review, the applicant will receive the department‟s recommendation for
approval or denial, and any conditions that may be included. Please review the recommendation and
respond promptly to staff if you concur with the recommendation and wish to be placed on the next
available agenda. Once the applicant concurs, or if 10 days pass and no response is given, the hearing
will be considered closed or “frozen” and no further changes will be accepted. It will then be scheduled
on the next available agenda. If you would like to make changes to the requests or plans or submit a
covenant, any changes must be submitted to the Zoning Hearing Specialist during the filing period and
would require review.
ADVERTISEMENT AND NOTICES
Within 40 days of filing a Preliminary Notice is mailed to all property owners within a code-specified
radius of the property. This notice advises the neighborhood of what the applicant is proposing and
explains their options for giving their opinion in support of or against the proposal, prior to the hearing or
at the meeting. Applicants for developmental proposals may decide to contact active Homeowner
Associations in the area before filing to gauge the opinion of the surrounding area. Thirty days prior to
the hearing date another notice is mailed to the neighbors advising of the hearing date, place and time.
Additionally, an advertisement is published in The Miami Herald Neighbors Section. Approximately 4
weeks prior to the hearing, a final ad detailing all requests is published in The Miami Daily Business
Review and a sign is posted on the property approximately 3 weeks prior to the hearing.

BEFORE THE HEARING
Approximately 3 weeks prior to the hearing, the applicant‟s contact person will be mailed a letter notifying
them of the hearing date, place and time. Translators and sign language interpreters are available upon
request. Call the Agenda Coordinator‟s Office at (305) 375-1244 at least 10 days in advance to arrange
for this service at the meeting. Please note that anyone wishing to submit expert testimony, economic
studies, real estate appraisals, reports by consultants, etc., as evidence to be considered at the hearing,
must file said documents with the Director at least 10 days prior to the hearing.
AT THE HEARING
The Community Zoning Appeals Board (CZAB) for the area in which the property is located will usually
hear the application. The applicant or the applicant‟s attorney must be present at the hearing. At the
hearing the applicant or the applicant‟s attorney will be given an opportunity to explain the proposal and
to express any dissatisfaction with the conditions imposed. Anyone wishing to speak in favor of the
proposal will be given the opportunity. Anyone speaking for the record will be asked to give his/her name
and address and to sign in. Anyone opposing the proposal will be given the opportunity to speak. Any
submitted petitions or other documents must be given to the Clerk of the Board and will be kept in the file
until final disposition. After all sides have been heard, the Chair will close the meeting and a motion will
be made and a vote will be taken. Applicants may display large exhibits at the hearing, but must submit
an identical 8½” x 11” duplicate for the file.
AFTER THE HEARING
The decision of the Community Zoning Appeals Board is final unless appealed to the Board of County
Commissioners within 14 days from the date of posting or filed with the Circuit Court of the 11 th Judicial
Circuit by an aggrieved party or the applicant within 30 days of the transmittal of the resolution of the
Board action to the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners whichever has jurisdiction. A
Resolution of the outcome of the hearing will be prepared by the Legal Advisers Office and will be mailed
to the applicant. The Resolution will list the requests and the decision on each and will specify any
conditions imposed by the Board. Strict compliance with all conditions is required and enforcement of
any violations of the Conditions of the Resolution may carry strict fines. The resolution is usually
prepared within 15 days of the hearing date.
DIC/DRI
When an application involves a large-scale development (e.g., exceeds a determined number of acres,
dwelling units, building size, etc.) it is then considered a Development of County Impact and/or a
Development of Regional Impact (DRI), requiring review by the Developmental Impact Committee (DIC)
and/or the South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC). Large-scale developments require the
payment of additional fees. A determination whether an application may require such review may be
obtained by calling the Developmental Impact Committee Coordinator at (305) 375-2566.
REVIEWS
Applicants are advised to contact the Department of Environmental Resources Management
(DERM), and the Department of Public Works for information on regulations, which may affect the
subject property prior to filing for a public hearing.
DERM reviews all applications for consistency with the environmental protection requirements of Chapter
24 of the Miami-Dade Code. Applications will not be scheduled for public hearing until written approval by
the Director of DERM is obtained. The review includes:
Potable water supply wellfield – certain types of uses are highly restricted or not allowed in areas
where public water supplies are located.
Potable water supply - certain uses are not permitted if the site is not served by public water or if
there are capacity issues for the proposed use.
Liquid waste disposal – certain uses are restricted or not permitted if the site is not served by public
sanitary sewers or if there are capacity issues for the proposed use.
Stormwater management – some applications must include systems that address where and how
stormwater runoff is handled. May include plans and calculations for retention areas.
Flood protection – low-lying areas may have to meet additional requirements to deal with potential
flooding concerns.
Tree preservation and protection – certain trees are protected from removal or damage. Applications
are reviewed for impact on existing trees.
Wetland preservation and protection – proposed applications that impact wetland areas may not be
allowed or may have additional restrictions on property use.
American LegalNet, Inc.
www.FormsWorkFlow.com
Coastal preservation and protection – uses that impact mangroves, water quality, coastal wetlands,
marine life and other coastal resources may be prohibited or restricted as to uses.
Air quality – uses are evaluated to determine impacts on air quality, including number of parking
spaces and materials used for parking surface.
Solid Waste – sites previously used as disposal sites may have additional requirements for clean up
or restrictions on uses. Site assessments may be required prior to DERM approval.
Contaminated sites – properties on or near contaminated sites may require assessment of the site
prior to DERM approval.
Applications that cannot be approved administratively require variances to be considered at public
hearings before the County‟s Environmental Quality Control Board (EQCB).
DERM would like to assist you prior to filing your application in order to identify as early as possible any
environmental issues that may have repercussions on your zoning application and to ensure that your
application includes all the materials required by the DERM review. Please schedule a review with
DERM prior to filing a zoning hearing application. This will ensure an expeditious review. Contact Mr.
Enrique A. Cuellar, DERM Chief of Code Coordination and Public Hearings, at (305) 372-6764.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY APPLICANT
1. The Public Works Department, the Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM),
and other County agencies review and critique zoning hearing applications which may affect the
scheduling and outcome of my hearing. These reviews may require additional hearings before
DERM‟s Environmental Quality Control Board (EQCB), or other County boards, and/or the proffering
of agreements to be recorded. I am also aware that I must comply promptly with any DERM or Public
Works conditions and advise this office in writing if my application will be withdrawn.
2. Filing fees may not be the total cost of a hearing. Some requests require notices to be mailed to
property owners up to a mile from the subject property and I am responsible for paying the additional
radius mailing costs. In addition to mailing costs, I am responsible for additional fees related to
application changes, plan revisions, deferrals, re-advertising, etc., that may be incurred. I understand
that fees must be paid promptly. Applications withdrawn within 60 days of the filing are eligible for a
refund of 50% of the hearing fee but after that time hearings withdrawn or returned will be ineligible
for a refund. Refunds must be requested in writing.
3. Applicable Florida Building Code requirements may affect my ability to obtain a building permit even
if my zoning application is approved; and a building permit will probably be required. I am
responsible for obtaining any required permits and inspections for all structures and additions
proposed, or built without permits. And that a Certificate of Use (C.U.) must be obtained for the use
of the property after it has been approved at Zoning Hearing. Failure to obtain the required permits
and/or C.U., Certificates of Completion (C.C.) or Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.) will result in
enforcement action against any occupant and owner. Submittal of the Zoning Hearing application
may not forestall enforcement action against the property.
4. The 3rd District Court of Appeal has ruled that zoning applications inconsistent with the
Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) should not be approved by a zoning board and
the recommendation will be for denial or deferral. Therefore, I acknowledge that if the hearing
request is inconsistent with the CDMP and I decide to go forward then my hearing request can only
be denied or deferred, but not approved. I also understand that I will not be reimbursed any fees
paid unless I withdraw within 60 days of filing and then I will receive a 50% refund.
5. Any covenant to be proffered must be submitted to the Department‟s Legal Advisor, on County form,
at least 1 month prior to the hearing date. The covenant will be reviewed and the applicant will be
notified if changes or corrections are necessary. Once the covenant is acceptable, the applicant is
responsible to submit the executed covenant with a current „Opinion of Title‟ within 1 week of the
hearing. Legal Advisor can advise as to additional requirements applicable to foreign corporations.
Documents submitted to Legal Advisor must carry a cover letter indicating subject matter, application
number and hearing date. Legal Advisor may be reached at (305) 375-3075
