The purpose of the Residential Modified District (RMD) is to provide standards governing the use, site design, and building mass for mixed-density and higher density residential development in unincorporated Miami-Dade County in accordance with the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP). The RMD provides for the harmonious coexistence of diverse types of housing units within the same development or neighborhood and is particularly appropriate in the County's infill area and redevelopment areas.
