Planning and Zoning Board: April 2026
City of Coral Gables
An Ordinance of the City Commission of Coral Gables, Florida providing for text amendments to the City of Coral Gables Official Zoning Code by amending Article 5, “Architecture,” Section 5-500, “Roofs,” to clarify roof design standards by incorporating a combination of pitched and flat roof forms and to establish that roof designs proposed as entirely flat require review and approval by the full board of architects; to amend Section 5-502, “Flat Roofs,” to clarify the review and approval of trellis structures on roof decks; to remove Sections 5-503 and 5-504 and renumber subsequent sections; to delete outdated parapet height provisions in flood hazard districts; and providing for a repealer provision, severability clause, codification, and providing for an effective date.
The City of Coral Gables Planning and Zoning Board has approved an ordinance that will change the city's zoning code regarding roof designs. This ordinance focuses on Article 5, Section 5-500, which covers roofs. It aims to clarify standards for combining pitched and flat roof styles. It also requires full board approval for any proposed entirely flat roof designs. Additionally, Section 5-502 will be updated to clarify how trellis structures on roof decks are reviewed and approved. This change is now approved, meaning the new rules are set to take effect. The work this ordinance sets in motion involves updating city code and potentially architectural review processes. While no new construction is directly detailed, architects and developers will need to adhere to these new roof design and review standards. Businesses specializing in architectural design, legal services for code interpretation, and potentially suppliers of roofing materials and related construction services could find opportunities as projects move forward under these updated regulations. Reaching out to understand the implications of these new rules early is advisable.
