(A)

The purpose of this article is to provide a regulatory framework for the redevelopment and transformation of former railway corridors or other similar linear pathways into active or passive recreational trails and mixed-use development areas in a manner that is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP).

(B)

It is the intent of the Corridor District (CD) to enhance regional mobility, provide opportunities for physical activity, and improve the economic vitality of former railway corridors or other similar linear pathways and of the surrounding areas by providing a continuous pedestrian and bicycle trail while ensuring that development along the corridor occurs at appropriate locations, and in a manner that is sensitive to and compatible with adjacent uses.

(C)

If public pedestrian and bicycle trail is developed over the length of a particular corridor, such a public trail would allow for alternate modes of transportation and would facilitate the movement of people over the length of the corridor by providing connections that may not currently exist. Recognizing these and other benefits, this article and the CDMP allow certain residential density bonuses if a public trail is developed over the length of the corridor.

(D)

This ordinance shall apply in unincorporated Miami-Dade County and in any incorporated area where the County exercises zoning jurisdiction, including but not limited to where it does so through an interlocal agreement with a municipality.

(Ord. No. 17-91, § 1, 11-21-17)
