North Miami Beach:  Land Use and Zoning Amendments

North Miami Beach was once stalled by traffic congestion, outdated zoning, and a lack of cohesive development strategy, while neighboring cities surged ahead.

North Miami Beach hired RMA to rebrand the city to attract private investment, modernize land use and zoning across 7 key districts, introduce market-aligned incentives and infrastructure planning, and revamp the CRA incentive programs for greater impact.

The efforts resulted in:

• $280M+ in real estate transactions in just 18 months
• 1,000+ residential units and 200 hotel rooms approved
• 46% increase in taxable value in the redevelopment area
• #1 in property value growth in Miami-Dade County (2015–2016)

This growth was driven by real estate transactions, with even greater tax base enhancements expected as projects are completed in the coming years.
