| | | | | | | | | TO: | Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission | | | FROM: | Commissioner Alex Fernandez | | | DATE: | December 14, 2022 | | | |
| | SUBJECT: | REFERRAL TO THE PLANNING BOARD – AMEND OFF-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS FOR PARKING DISTRICT NO. 6 TO MODIFY THE PARKING REQUIREMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LIMITED EXPANSION OF EXISTING RESTAURANTS LOCATED SOUTH OF 10TH STREET, UP TO A TOTAL OF 150 SEATS. |
| | | |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND/HISTORY
| Please place the above item on the December 14, 2022 City Commission meeting agenda as a referral to the Planning Board.
Parking District No. 6 generally includes properties along the Alton Road corridor, between 5th Street and Dade Boulevard. Currently, there is no parking requirement for restaurants of up to 60 seats or 1,500 square feet of eating and drinking areas. For restaurants with more than 60 seats or 1,500 square feet of eating/drinking areas, the parking requirement is one (1) space for every four (4) seats, or one (1) space per 60 feet of space not used for seating.

| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| A number of storefronts remain vacant along this corridor, particularly in the lower portion of Alton Road. However, Alton Road also includes successful restaurants that cater to residents and visitors alike. This creates an opportunity for existing restaurants to expand into vacant storefronts.
I would like the Planning Board to consider whether to amend the off-street parking regulations for Parking District No. 6 for a limited modification to the parking requirement for certain restaurants. Specifically, I would like the Planning Board to consider eliminating the off-street parking requirement associated with limited expansions of existing restaurants located south of 10th Street. To be eligible, a restaurant must be operating as of December 1, 2022, and the expanded restaurant shall not exceed a total of 150 seats.
