Gridics Product Spotlight – CodeHUB: City of Miami, FL

Published: May 20, 2022

CODEHUB OVERVIEW

CodeHUB is a real-time code text publishing application that gives users the ability to collaborate on and publish zoning code changes in seconds.

As part of the Gridics platform, CodeHUB integrates seamlessly with zoning maps and citizen self-service tools to ensure a municipality’s online zoning resources are always up-to-date.

MUNICIPAL PAIN POINT

Making changes to the City of Miami’s static PDF zoning code documents was a painstaking, months-long process for staff prior to adopting CodeHUB. Each time a code text amendment was approved by Commission, staff had to dig through hundreds of pages in a cumbersome editing application, make the necessary changes, re-export the PDF, re-upload to the website, and resend the revised files to stakeholders across the City.

Not only was Miami’s code text process inefficient, but it also led to confusion and plan review errors because staff, citizens, developers, and stakeholders were using outdated documents from various sources.

GRIDICS SOLUTION

In collaboration with the City of Miami’s Planning and Zoning Departments, Gridics built and implemented the CodeHUB platform to make code publishing a breeze. Zoning code changes that used to take staff months to finalize are now live in seconds across text, maps, and citizen self-service tools. On an annual basis, over 60,000 users now visit Miami’s CodeHUB instance for quick access to zoning information.

CodeHUB delivers value to the City of Miami by:
  • Saving staff months of work each year
  • Eliminating plan review errors
  • Ensuring citizens, staff, and developers always have access to the most current zoning resources
  • Integrating zoning information across text, maps, and citizen self-service tools
  • Reducing zoning management expenses
  • Making it easy to embed tables, charts, and graphics within code text documents
