/ Miami-Dade · Workforce housing
Workforce housing still needs a complete MEP set.
Workforce housing still needs a complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing set. Expedited review is not skipped review. Original Masterbuild writing — not a copy of Chapter 33 Article XIIA and not zoning advice. Unincorporated Miami-Dade. Municipalities have their own programs or exemptions. Masterbuild seals MEP. We do not process Housing Agreements, density bonuses, or impact-fee exemptions.
Packet: workforce housing MEP PDF · ES. Screening: parapet vs 306.5. Septic: 25% rear yard. Fire: second desk. Impact-fee exemption is a County housing path, not skipped MEP — impact-fee coordinator. Official: expedited programs · housing development.
- Expedite: written request at filing plus the Housing Agreement and Declaration of Restriction (workforce) or funding / tax-credit letter (affordable, County page). New construction. County housing page: initial plan-review comments targeted within five business days if the project is identified as affordable or workforce. Incomplete MEP still sits. Five days is not skipped mechanical.
- Administrative site plan review: 21 days from a completed application. Fire Rescue, Waste, Transportation, Housing, School Board still review impacts.
- Site plan still names mechanical equipment, backflow, lighting, buried on-site utilities, emergency-vehicle circulation.
- Declaration of Restrictions before final approval. First building permit needs the workforce housing agreement. Unit-count changes are a revision, not a field clarification — revision vs rework.
Tool: Workforce housing — MEP, screen, or septic?
Expedite requested, Housing Agreement missing, roof screens that kill ladder access, Fire never paid
The 21 days did not start because the application was not complete. Workforce did not skip mechanical.
What to send
Folio (does it start with 30?), whether a Housing Agreement exists, and the MEP sheets as they will be filed.
If someone told the owner that workforce housing skips mechanical review
Send the sheets. Masterbuild will say whether MEP still has no row — not whether Housing will record the covenant.
