TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager 
DATE:May  17, 2017
 

10:40 a.m. Second Reading Public Hearing

SUBJECT:PARKING DISTRICT NO. 4 AMENDMENTS:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 130, OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, ENTITLED "OFF-STREET PARKING," ARTICLE II "DISTRICTS; REQUIREMENTS," TO ALLOW OFF-STREET PARKING TO BE PROVIDED IN PARKING DISTRICT NO. 4 FOR USES THAT DO NOT HAVE REQUIRED PARKING, WHICH ADDITIONAL PARKING SHALL NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE CALCULATION OF FLOOR AREA RATIO FOR A STRUCTURE WITH SUCH USES; PROVIDING FOR REPEALER; SEVERABILITY; CODIFICATION; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

RECOMMENDATION

The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.

ANALYSIS

BACKGROUND
On February 8, 2017, at the request of Commissioner Joy Malakoff, the City Commission referred the subject ordinance to the Land Use and Development Committee for discussion and recommendation (item C4O).

On February 15, 2017, the Land Use Committee discussed the proposal and recommended that the City Commission refer the Ordinance to the Planning Board (item C4F). On March 1, 2017, the City Commission referred the proposed ordinance to the Planning Board.

PLANNING ANALYSIS

The proposed draft ordinance would amend Chapter 130 of the Land Development Regulations of the City Code (Off-Street Parking) to allow a property owner located in Parking District No. 4 to provide required parking for uses that normally would not require parking, such as retail for example. This is the same provision that was applied to the Washington Avenue Overlay District and will help ensure that there is sufficient operational parking to service new retail and restaurant uses within Parking District 4.

PLANNING BOARD REVIEW

On March 28, 2017, the Planning Board transmitted the proposed Ordinance Amendment to the City Commission, with a favorable recommendation.

 

UPDATE
The subject ordinance was approved at First Reading on April 26, 2017, with no changes.


CONCLUSION

The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.
