Can I use this property for retail?

Retail and general commercial uses are concentrated in the Activity Center commercial districts B1 (Neighborhood Business), B2 (Community Business), and B3 (Heavy Business), with increasing intensity from B1 to B3 (Sec. 403.2). Mixed-use districts ML and MH and the Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) district also allow ground-floor retail as part of their mixed-use program (Sec. 404). Exactly which retail sub-uses are permitted, conditional, or require a specific use standard in each district is set out in Table 403-1 (non-residential use table); confirm your specific use there and in Sec. 405. Retail is not a base permitted use in the residential (RL/E/RS1-RS8/T/RM1-RM4), civic/recreational (CNS/OS/CR/CF/U), or workplace (OP/EC/PID) districts, though CR (Commercial Recreation) allows some retail-adjacent accessory uses tied to a recreational anchor. Confirm the current zoning district on the city's GIS zoning map or with the Building, Planning and Zoning Department (954-602-3200) before acting. This pack covers incorporated Miramar city limits only.
