/ Miami-Dade · DIC vs permit
DIC is zoning. Mechanical is still a permit.
A Developmental Impact Committee recommendation is zoning. A mechanical permit is still a mechanical permit. Fire sits on both desks. Original Masterbuild writing — not a copy of 33-303.1 and not a roster of County departments. Masterbuild does not sit DIC. We do not take Water and Sewer. We do not invent the County-impact thresholds in 33-304. Confirm live.
Packet: DIC vs permit PDF · ES. Fire: second desk. Workforce expedite: not skipped mechanical. Variance clock: three years.
- DIC reviews developments of County impact and other applications that could significantly affect the environment. Executive Council reviews new developments of regional impact.
- A DIC recommendation to the Board is not a mechanical approval, a Fire inspection, or a shop-drawing stamp.
- Fire Rescue is on DIC and is a second desk at building permit. Kitchen hood, generator, fire pump, and smoke control still land on Fire at permitting. We do not quote Fire dollars.
- Water and Sewer is on DIC. Points of connection are not an MEP engagement. Plumbing final still looks for the meter the purveyor set.
- Covenanted conditions still have to show up on the mechanical set. Do not email the inspector a zoning resolution and call it a shop drawing — revision vs rework.
Owner heard “DIC recommended approval,” mobilized mechanical, Fire never paid at permitting
Three desks. One wasted truck.
What to send
Whether this is a zoning application or a building permit, the process or application number, and whether Fire or Water and Sewer already commented.
If DIC said yes and someone already ordered the air handlers
Send the application number. Masterbuild will say whether mechanical still has no row — not whether the Board will follow DIC.
