PLANNING & ZONING - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

LOCAL
Municipalities and counties are required to adopt a comprehensive plan. The Comprehensive plan is a document that contains two volumes. Volume 1 contains the Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOPs) and a future land use map to guide the future planning of the city. Volume 2 is a document that contains in-depth data and analysis. Municipalities are allowed to update the GOPs and the land use map of their comprehensive plans twice a year.

Additionally, municipalities and counties within the State of Florida are required to update their entire comprehensive plan every seven years. This process is called the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) process. The City of Miramar is currently preparing its EAR to update the comprehensive plan.
 
COUNTY
The City of Miramar lies within Broward County which is a charter county. This means that municipalities within Broward County are required to comply with county regulations. Broward County has land use authority over the municipalities within its boundaries which is administered by the Broward County Planning Council.
