Biscayne Boulevard is a major street in city-of-miami that serves as a key reference point for defining the boundaries of Fire Zone No. 2 (also known as the “Secondary Fire District”) under the 1935-miami-dade-building-code.
According to the code, the boundary of Fire Zone No. 2 begins at the intersection of N. E. 2nd Avenue and N. E. 13th Street and proceeds east along the existing fire limits 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p65_84(p. 83). The boundary definition references specific lots and subdivisions adjacent to Biscayne Boulevard, including Walden Court Addition, Pershing Court, Garden of Eden, and others, extending northward through various subdivisions like Bayshore, Coral Park, and Biscayne Heights 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p65_84(p. 83-84).
The designation of this area as part of a Fire Zone implies stricter building and safety regulations compared to areas outside these zones, particularly regarding construction types and fire resistance fire-zones.
Additionally, the code imposes specific restrictions on advertising devices along this thoroughfare. No signs, billboards, or poster-boards may be erected, placed, maintained, or continued in or along Biscayne Boulevard between Northeast Thirteenth Street and Northeast Fifty-fourth Street if they extend into, on, over, or above the boulevard or any public walk or parkway within that section 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p305_324(p. 306). This prohibition does not affect signs already in place at the time of the code’s adoption. Violations constitute a separate offense for each day the sign remains, with possession of the abutting property serving as prima facie evidence of violation 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p305_324(p. 306). These regulations fall under the broader signage-regulations of the code.
