SUBJECT: PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION TO AMEND ZONING
ORDINANCE 89-2665 SUPPLEMENTARY CONVENTION CENTER PARKING
THE REQUEST
The Planning Board is requesting that the City Commission set a public hearing date for the
consideration of an Ordinance amending Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 89-2665 by
addition of Subsection 7-12 entitled "Supplementary Convention Center Parking." Said
amendment would provide for the issuance of Supplementary Convention Center Parking
permits authorizing the use of vacant lots in the RM-1, RM-2, CD-1, CD-2 and CD-3 zoning
districts located within twenty-five hundred feet of the Convention Center for operation as
commercial parking lots for the duration of scheduled events requiring additional parking.
The Ordinance also establishes standards for the maintenance and operation of said lots.
BACKGROUND
It has been recognized and generally acknowledged for some time that there is inadequate
parking near the Miami Beach Convention Center during certain scheduled events. This lack
of parking can and does constitute a serious problem for exhibitors participating in the events
and also poses a threat to the safety and welfare of persons attending these events due to the
increased traffic congestion caused by those drivers seeking parking spaces. This inadequate
parking situation has been recently exacerbated by the partial closing of the second level of
the two-story parking garage on Lincoln Road; this closure represents a loss of roughly 300
spaces that normally service the Convention Center.
The City Administration continues to study the parking situation surrounding the Convention
Center, fully anticipating that bookings and visitors will increase under the pending
management agreement with Spectacor and that there will be a need for permanent parking
solutions. In this regard, it believes that one of these solutions is the use of vacant lots in the
immediate vicinity of the Center for supplementary parking for the duration of particular
events which generate the exceptional need for more parking than is normally required.
The RM-1, RM-2, CD-1, CD-2 and CD-3 zoning districts allow for permanent commercial
parking lots as a conditional use. However, because the demand for parking at the Convention
Center is variable, the construction of lots to meet City standards is not economically feasible
since they would often remain unused. The paving of vacant lots for parking would also leave
these sites as hot, desolate and more unattractive than if they were left in a more natural state
with a grass surface.

The proposed ordinance, therefore, calls the obtaining of an occupational license to be eligible
for a supplementary Convention Center Parking Permit. The City Manager would authorize
the issuance of such permits on an event to event basis; no lot would receive more than six (6)
permits per year. Standards for the maintenance and operation of these lots would include:
lots that are not paved shall be sodded and continually manicured;
lots shall comply with property maintenance standards;
lighting, if used, shall be shielded from adjoining properties;
fences shall be in good repair;
temporary signage shall be limited to two 5 square feet signs to be displayed
only during permitted events;
curb cuts shall be approved by Public Works Department; and,
temporary structures shall be kept in accordance with vacant property
maintenance standards.
The City Manager would have the reserved right to revoke an Occupational License for the
operation of a lot for Supplementary Convention Center Parking if he finds that its operation
has an adverse effect on the welfare of surrounding properties. Permits would also not be
issued for parking spaces which currently constitute required parking for some other Use.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission set a first reading hearing date of
January 23, 1991.
