On December 8, 2021, at the request of Commissioner Ricky Arriola, the City Commission referred the proposed Ordinance to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (C4 W).  On February 11, 2022, the LUSC discussed the proposal and recommended that the City Commission refer the attached Ordinance to the Planning Board.

ANALYSIS

PLANNING ANALYSIS
The attached Ordinance amends Section 130-33 of the LDR’s to create the Lincoln West Parking Subzone within Parking District No. 6. This subzone is located between 16th Street and Collins Canal, along Alton Road, and would establish new parking requirements for hotels and related accessory uses located in the proposed subzone for unified developments that provide at least 200 parking spaces on site. Specifically, the following is proposed as pertains to minimum off-street parking requirements for this subzone:

• Hotel rooms shall have no parking requirement.

• There shall be no parking requirement for individual dining area, lounge, outdoor café or bar establishments of 60 seats or less or 1,500 square feet or less of eating and/or drinking areas that are accessory to a hotel use, up to a total aggregate square footage of 5,000 square feet per hotel. For hotel uses with more than 5,000 square feet of these accessory uses, there shall be one space per four seats or one space per 60 square feet of space not used for seating. A covenant running with the land, approved by the city attorney, shall be recorded to ensure that individual stores will not be reconfigured internally in a way that would increase the minimum parking requirement without conditional use approval and payment of a one-time parking impact fee for each required parking space.

• Any building or structure erected in the Lincoln West Parking Subzone may provide required parking on site as specified in parking district no. 6. Such required parking, if provided, shall be exempt from FAR, in accordance with the regulations specified in chapter 114 of these land development regulations.

Considering the limited boundaries of the proposed subzone, as well as its proximity to dedicated transit and multiple public parking facilities, the Administration is supportive of the proposal.

PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
The Planning Board is scheduled to hold a public hearing on April 26, 2022 and transmit the Ordinance to the City Commission with a recommendation. The Administration will update the City Commission on the Planning Board recommendation at the Commission meeting.
