Dixie Highway is a major roadway in Florida, extensively referenced in the 1935-miami-dade-building-code for defining the boundaries of Fire Zone No. 1 and Fire Zone No. 2 within the city-of-miami.
In the definition of Fire Zone No. 1, the highway serves as a primary longitudinal boundary. The code describes the zone extending “parallel with and 100 feet west of the East line of Federal Highway” and later “parallel with and 100 feet distant from the West line of Federal Highway” through various subdivisions including Miami Shores, Plaza Federal, and Asbury Park 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p85_104(p. 85). The boundary continues along the West line of Federal Highway through Bay Ridge Amended and Biscayne Shores units 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p85_104(p. 85). Further north, the zone boundary runs along the East line of NE 2nd Avenue (also identified as Dixie Highway) through subdivisions such as Elwood Place, Rosedale Subdivision, and North Bayshore Land Company Plat “A” 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p85_104(p. 86). It continues through Dixie Highway Park, Little River Gardens, and Rogers Subdivision 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p85_104(p. 86-87). The zone also includes areas along Dixie Highway Tract and Dixie Wayside Tract in the southern sections 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p85_104(p. 87).
In the definition of Fire Zone No. 2, the code describes the boundary extending “along the Dixie Highway to the South line of Block 4, Bay Ridge amended” 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p65_84(p. 84). Additionally, the zone includes areas along the South line of Lots 1 to 4, inclusive, Block 4, and Lot 6, Block 5, Roselawn Park, and along the North lines of Blocks in Dixie Highway Park 1935-Miami-Dade-Building-Code_p85_104(p. 103).
These designations place areas adjacent to the highway within specific fire prevention and construction regulations, distinguishing them from other zones in the city-of-miami fire-zones.
