The Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) contains directives to promote urban centers in places where mass transit, roadways, and highways are highly accessible. The CDMP provides for three types of urban centers: community (CUC), metropolitan (MUC) and regional (RUC). CUCs are a mechanism by which those CDMP directives can be addressed, because CUCs are compact, mixed-use, and pedestrian-friendly areas. In the Naranja CUC area these CDMP directives are intended to be achieved by the following means:

A.

allocating development intensities within the Naranja CUC according to proximity to mass transit, and by creating Core, Center and Edge sub-districts to allocate the various development intensities within the CUC; and

B.

by organizing an interconnected network of tree-lined streets and sidewalks to improve pedestrian access to transit, jobs, and shopping; and

C.

by providing for open space with specific square, green and/or plaza locations, and by shaping the way buildings front onto open space and streets.

2.

The regulations contained in this chapter and Chapter 18-A, Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida, shall apply to this article, except as otherwise added to or modified herein.

3.

The Illustrative Plan (Figure 1), shall be used to assist in interpreting this article. Where there is conflict between the Illustrative Plan and the text of this article, the text shall govern.

4.

The boundaries shown in Figure 1 illustrate the Naranja CUC Boundary Plan and are generally described as follows: from the northwest corner of the intersection of SW 137 Avenue and SW 272 Street, north along the west side of SW 137 Avenue to the south side of SW 256 Street, then west along the south side of SW 256 Street, then west along the south side of SW 256 Street to the Urban Development Boundary (UDB) line, as of January 1, 2015, then south and west along the UDB to the centerline of SW 149 Avenue, then south along the centerline of SW 149 to the C-103N canal, then southeast along the canal to the north side of SW 272 Street to the west side of SW 142 Avenue to the south side of SW 270 Street, then east along the north side of SW 270 Street to the east side of the Naranja Canal easement, then southeast and south along the east side of the Naranja Canal easement to the north side of SW 272 Street, then east along the north side of SW 272 Street to the west side of SW 137 Avenue. The exact location of the UDB line is on file with the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources or its successor department. An approximate delineation of the UDB line is depicted in the Regulating Plans. Any amendment to the CDMP resulting in a movement of the UDB line following the effective date of this ordinance shall be followed by an amendment to this section of the code to reflect the new UDB line or the westernmost boundaries of the NCUC in compliance with the half-a-mile radius CDMP requirement for Community Urban Centers.

Full scale maps and a legal description of the boundaries of the Illustrative Plan presented in Figure 1, as well as the Regulating Plans and Street Development Parameters figures, are on file with the Department.

No provision in this article shall be applicable to any property except lands lying within the boundaries of the Naranja Community Urban Center District as described herein. No property lying within the boundaries of the Naranja Community Urban Center shall be entitled to the uses or subject to the regulations provided in this article until an application for a district boundary change to the Naranja Community Urban Center District has been heard and approved in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
