The TND review procedures are divided into four (4) steps: (A) preapplication conference; (B) initial TND review; (C) intermediate site plan review; and (D) final review.

(A)

Preapplication conference. It shall be the responsibility of the Developmental Impact Committee to coordinate with other affected departments, and where applicable, representatives of adjacent municipalities to a joint meeting for the purposes of participating in the review of the TND. Prior to said joint meeting, the applicant may confer with the Department, other affected departments and, where applicable, representatives of adjacent municipalities, in connection with the preparation of the TND District application. The applicant shall provide a general outline of the proposal through schematics and sketch plans including narrative information sufficient for the understanding of the proposed development. Thereafter and within ten (10) working days after the preapplication conference, the Developmental Impact Committee shall furnish the applicant with all written comments resulting from such conference including appropriate recommendations to inform and assist the applicant in the preparation of the components of the TND District application. The applicant shall have the right to apply for an additional preapplication conference prior to filing a formal application with the Department. The same procedure as above shall be followed.

(B)

Initial TND review.

Following the preapplication conference(s), the total development plan reviews shall be initiated by the applicant. Required exhibits listed below together with an application for public hearing shall be submitted to the Department in accordance with the requirements of Section 33-304, Code of Miami-Dade County.

2.

A development schedule indicating the approximate date(s) when construction of the TND and phases thereof including the mix of residential and commercial, will be initiated and completed.

3.

Quantitative data in a table format indicating the intensity of the land uses proposed in the TND and the total maximum number of units.

(b)

Required exhibits—Graphic documents. Map, site plans and drawings, depicting the proposed TND shall be submitted as part of the development plan and shall contain the following minimum information:

1.

A certificated survey indicating the existing site characteristics including any major variations of elevations, watercourse(s), unique natural historical and archeological features, existing buildings and vegetation.

2.

A plan at a scale of 1″=300′ indicating all land uses on perimeter lots greenbelts, existing and proposed circulation systems for arterial, (i.e. through streets), and major points of ingress and egress to the development.

3.

Adequate information on land areas adjacent to the proposed TND at a scale of 1″=300′ to indicate the relationships between the proposed development and adjacent areas, including existing land uses, zoning districts, densities, vehicular, pedestrian and equestrian circulations systems, access for people with disabilities, and public facilities, as well as unique natural features of the landscape.

4.

It is provided, however, that the requirements of Subsections 33-284.50(B)(1)(a)(1) and (2), and 33-284.50(B)(1)(b)(4) shall not apply to applications of the Director or Zoning Official.

(2)

Upon the filing of a complete application, the Department shall submit the required exhibits for the TND to the Developmental Impact Committee for review in accordance with standards and review procedures of the Developmental Impact Committee as provided in Section 33-303.1. At a public hearing held by the Community Zoning Appeals Board, the applicant shall present the proposal. The Community Zoning Appeals Board shall have the recommendations of the Developmental Impact Committee. The Community Zoning Appeals Board shall consider the information presented by the applicant, the recommendations of the Developmental Impact Committee and viewpoints of the public expressed at the hearing. The Community Zoning Appeals Board shall take formal action either approving the plan as presented, approving it subject to certain specified modifications, and/or conditions disapproving it, or a combination of the foregoing. Upon approval, plans, documents and recordable development agreements shall be filed with the Department and recorded in the official records and shall thereby constitute the TND District. If the TND is approved with specific modifications, as incorporated in the Community Zoning Appeals Board's resolution, those modifications shall be made by the applicant on all applicable documents and plans prior to filing the same with the Department. Such filing shall be completed within sixty (60) calendar days from date the decision becomes final including all appeals. Failure to do so shall nullify the Community Zoning Appeals Board's action unless waived by the Community Zoning appeals Board or if appealed, by the County Commission. The Director shall review all modifications in accordance with the Community Zoning Appeals Board's decision. The approved TND shall be indicated on the zoning maps as would any other district boundary change. Intermediate site plan review shall not be initiated until the above requirements have been met.
