LMS 2025-2030 PART 1: THE STRATEGY Subdivision and Other Regulations Miami -Dade County Code imposes certain developmental requirements before land is platted. These relate to the provision of water and sewer facilities, local streets, side- walks, drainage, and open space. Before use permits or certificates of occupancy can be issued, Section 33-275 of the Miami -Dade County Code requires that adequate water, sewage and waste disposal facilities be provided. County Flood Criteria The County Flood Criteria sets the minimum Flood Protection Level of Service forfinished grade elevation of developed sites, secondary canal banks and crown/grade of roads except as subject to higher localized standards. The County Flood Criteria are based on analysis of the flood conditions created by a 25-year/3-day and a 10-year/24-hour storm event, respectively, and a sea level rise forecast of 2 feet and above (expected to occur in year 2060). Shoreline Review The Shoreline Development Review Ordinance was adopted in 1985 and prescribes min- imum standards for setbacks, visual corridors and, with its' accompanying resolutions, sets out a flexible review process through which architectural interest, building orientation, landscaping, shoreline use compatibility, access, and other design related elements can be negotiated with the developers and enforced by the local governing jurisdiction. Area Plan Report Since 1998, Area Plan Reports have emerged as a preferred planning technique for com- munity visioning and helping to find answers to fundamental planning questions. An Area Plan Report is a practical planning technique, which blends public participation, detailed planning, and the development of implementation tools. Its principal focus is the creation of planning products (instead of processes.) Public participation is indispensable for a successful Area Plan Report. The overriding objective is the creation of a detailed plan, which resolves areas of concern identified in the Area Plan Report study area; often these concerns involve capital improvements such as roads, sewers, sidewalks, parks and other community improvements. The Planning and Zoning Divisions of the, Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources implements the Area Plan Report process as a collective planning effort that develops a small area plan which incorporates the priorities of a community. Adaptation Action Area Planning Adaptation Action Areas (AAAs) are one of Miami -Dade County's localized responses to sea level rise, related risks of flooding and other community resilience challenges. The goal of the AAA program is to accelerate community -led, neighborhood -scale adaptation approaches in the County's most vulnerable communities. In 2011, the Florida Legislature created Adaptation Action Areas (S.163.3177 Florida Statutes). AAAs are a statutory pol- icy tool which is an optional designation in the County's Comprehensive Development Master Plan. The Miami -Dade AAA program collaborates across Unincorporated and mu- nicipal jurisdictions to study concentrated flood, water quality, and other risks. The core of the AAA program is its community engagement process aimed at amplifying the voices P 1-20
