ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Ordinance.
ANALYSIS
Recently, the Historic Preservation Board adopted a Resolution urging the City Commission
to modify the Land Development Regulations of the City Code to require that all portions of
parking pedestals facing public rights-of-way, the ocean or the bay, be lined with residential
units. The Land Use and Development Committee considered the request of the Historic
Preservation Board and recommended that the Full Commission transmit an Ordinance to
the Planning Board.
March 8, 2006
Commission Memorandum
Ordinance - Parking Pedestal Design Requirements
Page 2 of 3
The subject ordinance requires that all parking pedestals incorporate residential or
commercial uses, as applicable, at the ground level along every facade facing a street,
sidewalk, waterway or the ocean, as well as the upper levels of those facades facing a
waterway. For properties not having access to an alley, the required residential or
commercial space at ground level shall exclude frontage for entrance and exit drives.
The purpose of the proposed Ordinance is to address existing shortcomings in the current
code as it pertains to portions of parking pedestals that front sidewalks, rights-of-way and
waterfronts. In this regard a number of projects have been approved over the last few years,
as well as recently, with parking pedestals that are inappropiately screened and
programmed on the street and waterfront elevations. These structures fail to respond to the
built context of their surroundings as they consist of monolithic buildings with bright lighting
fixtures, large openings and unsightly visual blight.
The subject Ordinance proposes to codify what has been a standard recommendation of
Planning Department staff for new development projects, and a standard that has been
applied on a fairly consistent basis by the City's development review boards. Specifically,
the proposed Ordinance would require that those portions of a parking pedestal or a parking
garage that face a street, sidewalk or waterway (including the ocean) at the ground level be
clad with active programming such as residential or office uses, as applicable.
In order to address unique situations and extenuating circumstances, such as the
construction of a public parking garage or odd shaped lots, the Planning Board slightly
modified the original draft of the Ordinance. In this regard, those portions of a parking
pedestal facing a street or sidewalk above the first level would incorporate a residential or
commercial component, but the quantity and distribution of such uses would be left to the
discretion of the Design Review or Historic Preservation Boards, as applicable. For those
floors above the first level that face the ocean or a waterway, residential uses would still be
mandatory.
This Ordinance amendment will assure that new infill construction is contextually compatible
with the built character of its immediate area. Additionally, it will help reduce the sometimes
overbearing size of large pedestals, as well as reduce the height of development projects by
requiring that portions of a structure that would normally be located above a pedestal now be
placed within the pedestal, thus lowering the overall height of new buildings while having no
impact on the maximum FAR for a site.
These modifications clarify the relevant development regulation sections for all commercial
and multi-family zoning districts in the Land Development Regulations and will assist
individuals who are reading the code for the first time in order to ascertain specific
development rights and requirements.
The Design Review Board reviewed the subject Ordinance on November 15, 2005 and
recommended approval and the Historic Preservation Board reviewed the subject Ordinance
on November 8, 2005.
The Planning Board reviewed the subject Ordinance on November 22, 2005 and transmitted
it to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation. The Planning Board
recommended that the following be included in the subject Ordinance:
1. Residential or commercial uses, as applicable, shall be required at the first level along
every facade facing a street, sidewalk or waterway.

2. Residential or commercial uses, as applicable, shall be required above the first level
along every facade facing a waterway.
.
All facades above the first level, facing a street or sidewalk, shall include residential or
commercial uses, the total amount of which shall be subject to the Design Review or
Historic Preservation Board, as applicable.
The proposed Ordinance was presented to the Transportation and Parking Committee
(TPC) on January 9, 2006. The TPC endorsed the proposed Ordinance amendment.
The City Commission approved the Ordinance on First Reading at their February 8, 2006
meeting. The Commission also requested that the Ordinance be revised to provide more
development flexibility for smaller lots. In order to address this concern, the Administration
as added the following language to the proposed Ordinance:
"For properties 50 feet in width or less, the total amount of residential space at the
first level along a street side shall be determined by the Design Review or Historic
Preservation Board, as applicable."
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Ordinance is not expected to have any fiscal impact.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the proposed Ordinance on
Second Reading.
Pursuant to Section 118-164(4) of the City Code, an affirmative vote of five-sevenths shall
be necessary in order to enact any amendments to the Land Development Regulations.
