SW 8th Street is a significant east-west thoroughfare in Miami, serving as a key boundary marker for various subdivisions and fire zones within the city-of-miami building code.
In the context of the 1935-miami-dade-building-code, SW 8th Street defines the northern limits for several areas. It marks the beginning of the boundary for SW 2nd Avenue from SW 8th Street to SW 15th Road (p. 95). Similarly, it serves as the starting point for the South Miami Avenue boundary description from SW 8th Street to SW 15th Road (p. 95). The street also initiates the boundary definition for SW 22nd Street, beginning on the Old Fire Limit Line at SW 8th Street (p. 96).
The street runs through numerous subdivisions, including Lawrence Estate, Manleys Resubdivision, and blocks within South Miami Heights (p. 99). It intersects with major north-south avenues such as sw-17th-avenue and sw-27th-avenue, helping to delineate the extent of fire-zones in the southwestern part of the city. The code specifies boundaries parallel to or along the center line of SW 8th Street, extending through areas like North Coral Gables and Tamiami Trail additions (p. 100).
