City of Aventura Ordinance No. 2018 -13
Medium-High Density. This category allows a range of densities from 25 to 60 dwelling
units per gross acre. In this category, the height of the buildings, and therefore, the
attainment of densities approaching the maximum depends to a great extent on the
dimensions of the site, conditions such as location and availability services, zoning, type of
housing structure, the ability to provide sufficient off-street parking, and the compatibility
with and impact of the development on surrounding areas. The type of housing structure
typically permitted in this category includes low, medium, and high-rise apartments, but may
also include single family detached, duplexes, triplexes, quadruplexesl a townhouses,
and Limited-Service Hotel in combination with Multifamily Residential Use. Additionally, the
height of the buildings and attainment of densities approaching the maximum shall also be
contingent on the ability of the developer to ensure appropriate transitions and buffers with
the surrounding neighborhood, and to alleviate impacts that will adversely impact service
levels and quality of life."
