This article applies to the area bounded by N.W. 203rd Street on the north, the Florida Turnpike on the east, N.W. 195th Street on the south, and N.W. 27th Avenue on the west, hereinafter referred to as the Stadium District (S District). A more detailed legal description of this boundary is maintained on file with the Miami-Dade County Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources or successor entity (the "County Department") and with the City of Miami Gardens Planning and Zoning Department (the "City Planning and Zoning Department").

The purpose of the S District is to provide for a wide range of large-scale commercial, institutional, residential, attraction and other uses, including a regional stadium facility. The regulations for the S District shall be administered primarily by the City of Miami Gardens and also Miami-Dade County, as provided in the Procedures section of this article. The intent of the S District is to generally carry forward the allowable uses under the prior zoning district, with the exceptions and limitations specified herein, in a format that may be administered by the City and the County, as applicable and as provided herein. Certain cross-references to the City of Miami Gardens Code and to the Code of Miami-Dade County are included in this article to clarify the applicable procedures and provisions; all references to the "City" shall refer to the City of Miami Gardens, and all references to the "County" shall refer to Miami-Dade County. Nothing herein shall create an exception to or otherwise vary any Countywide regulations that otherwise exist pursuant to the Code of Miami-Dade County, the Miami-Dade Comprehensive Development Master Plan, or the Miami-Dade County Home Rule Charter.

(3)

Sub-Districts. The S District is comprised of two sub-districts: the Stadium Inner Sub-District and the Stadium Outer Sub-District. These Sub-Districts control land use and intensity of development that may take place. Unless otherwise specified in this article, the regulations herein apply to both Stadium Sub-Districts.

(4)

Sub-District Plan. The Sub-District Plan (Figure 1), shows the boundaries of the S District and the Sub-Districts and may be used to better interpret this article. Where there is conflict between the Sub-District Plan and the text of this article, the text shall govern. Full-scale maps of the Plan, and the boundaries of the sub-districts, are on file with the County Department and the City Planning and Zoning Department.
