A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE (NCAC) AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO IMMEDIATELY
DISCONTINUE THE WAVERLY AND GRAND FLAMINGO RESIDENTS'
PARTICIPATION IN THE RESIDENTIAL PARKING ZONE 12/UPPER WEST
AVENUE PILOT PROGRAM (`.`ZONE 12 PILOT PROGRAM") THROUGH
ATTRITION AND TO DISCONTINUE THE RELATED WAITING LIST.
WHEREAS, Restricted Residential Parking Permit Zone 12/Upper West Avenue was
approved by the Mayor and Commission on February 25, 2004, at the request of residents of
Upper West Avenue (13th Street to Dade Boulevard). However, RM-3 (Residential — High
Intensity) properties were not allowed to participate due to the following:
• Properties in the RM-3 district provide off-street parking for their residents/tenants.
Many of the properties in zoning districts with less intensity have little to no off-street
parking and those residents rely almost solely on curbside parking.
• Allowing RM-3 zoned properties, including the Waverly and Grand Flamingo, would
usurp most, if not all, of the on-street parking in the neighborhood. This is primarily
attributed to the fact that these properties have monthly parking rates for their
residents/tenants that range between $100 and $150. Zone 12 has an annual permit fee
of $50.00, an obvious incentive for residents of RM-3 zoned properties to participate in
the program; and
WHEREAS, shortly after the establishment of Zone 12, a number of residents from both
the Waverly and Grand Flamingo challenged the exemption of RM-3 zoned properties from the
program. Their challenge was based on the financial burden of the monthly parking rate at their
respective RM-3 zoned properties. At the time, Commissioner Saul Gross, championed their
cause and fifty (50) residential slots were made available for residents of the Waverly and
Grand Flamingo, as a pilot program; and
WHEREAS, the Zone 12 Pilot Program was anticipated to dissolve upon having no
demand from residents from the referenced properties and, to date, demand continues for these
residential slots with 61 residents of the Waverly and Grand Flamingo on a waiting list for these
slots; and
WHEREAS, on May 30, 2014, the NCAC held a discussion regarding the participation of
the Waverly and Grand Flamingo residents in Residential Parking Zone 12/Upper West Avenue,
and
WHEREAS, the NCAC recommended that the Administration immediately discontinue
the participation of Waverly and Grand Flamingo residents in the Zone 12 Pilot Program through
attrition and to discontinue its related waiting list.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND ,CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby accept the recommendation of the Neighborhood/Community Affairs
Committee and authorize the City Administration to immediately discontinue the participation
of Waverly and Grand Flamingo residents in the Residential Parking Zone 12/Upper West
Avenue Pilot Program through attrition and to discontinue the related waiting list.
