The City of Miami
Commission on October 22nd, 2009
adopted amendments to the Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP)
language and 2020 Future Land Use Map that
will contribute to better transition scaled
communities and encourage stronger mixed-use
activity. The Florida Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) issued a sufficiency
statement on December 2, 2009 in response to
the adoption of these amendments. Amendments
to the MCNP language and the 2020 Future
Land Use Map are in effect since December 9,
2009.
By State Statute, each City and County in
Florida must adopt a comprehensive plan and also
adopt land development regulations to implement
the comprehensive plan.
The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) was
adopted as Ordinance 10544 on February 9, 1989
and contains amendments by the City Commission through
October 22, 2009. The purpose of the MCNP is to indicate how the City will meet the
needs of existing and future residents,
visitors, and businesses, while preserving the
character and quality of its communities. MCNP
creates a policy framework that has the effect
of law, to guide all public and private
development decisions in the City. MCNP consists of materials
(written and graphic) that describe the principles, guidelines, and
standards for the orderly and balanced future
development of the City (economic, social, physical, environmental, and
fiscal development).
The Chapters or "elements" of the MCNP encompass
Goals, Objectives, and Policies for future land
use, housing, parks, transportation, capital
improvements, intergovernmental coordination,
etc. Implementation of the MCNP occurs
through City land development regulations such
as the zoning code, detailed housing plans,
historic preservation code, environmental
preservation code, and specific district or
sector plans.
2020 Future Land Use Map
The 2020 Future Land Use Map is a planning
instrument designed to guide the future
development and distribution of the land uses
within the City in a manner that is consistent
with the goals, objectives, and policies of the
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP).
