Gonzalez City Manager A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE CREATION OF RESTRICTED RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT ZONE ll/LAKE PANCOAST; AND EXPANDING EXISTING RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT ZONE TWO/FLAMINGO PARK TO INCLUDE THE 500 BLOCK OF ESPANOLA WAY, ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS: The City's Parking Department has received requests in the form of two petitions from the Lake Pancoast and Espanola Way residents to create an RPP (Residential Parking Permit) zone for the Lake Pancoast neighborhood and amend existing Residential Parking Permit Zone Two (Flamingo Park) to include the 500 block of Espanola Way, respectively. The following is a summary of the Parking Department's findings and actions regarding both requests to date: Residential Parkin.q Permit Zone 11 (Lake Pancoast): The Lake Pancoast neighborhood is bounded by Pine Tree Drive on the west, Inter-Coastal Waterway on the east, 23rd Street/Dade Boulevard on the south, and a single family neighborhood to the north. A restricted residential parking program is recommended due to intrusion from adjacent commercial, entertainment, educational and recreational land uses displacing residential parking during various hours of the day for substantial periods of time. The following are various generators and hours during which residential parking is being displaced within the noted areas: Generators of Parking (non-residential) Hours Collins Avenue and 23ra Street Employees Day/Night Beachgoers (crossing footbridge at 24th Street and Collins Avenue)Day Area School Students Day Patrons of Restaurants/Nightclubs on 23rd Street Night General visitors seeking "free" parking Day/Night J~nu~ry ~4, 200~ Comml~aion ~,~rnor~ndurn Cm.#on of L~k~ P~nco~/An~ndrn~nt to Re~id~nt~l P~ridng P~rmi~ Zor~ Two P~e 2 of 5 Subsequently, a petition was received from various homeowner associations in the "Lake Pancoast" neighborhood to develop and implement an RPP (Residential Parking Permit) Zone. The City of Miami Beach Parking Department formulated recommendations for affected residents to review, comment, and provide input. A publicly noticed Workshop was held at 6:00 P.M. on Wednesday, August 13, 2003, at the FlU/Women's Club, located at 2401 Pine Tree Drive, Miami Beach, Florida. The Workshop was held in order to provide information and recommendations regarding the implementation of an RPP and request comments, suggestions, and input from the affected residents in order to develop a consensus. Residents were advised that the proposed residential program would be referred to the City's Transportation and Parking Committee and ultimately to the Mayor and City Commission for ratification. The following is a summary of the recommendations proposed for the Residential Parking Program: reet North: Northerly line of 25t~ Street* East: Easterly line of Lake Pancoast Drive West: Easterly line of Pine Tree Drive * Notes: Residents agreed to extend the northern boundary to the north side of 25"' Street for the first six months of the program; however, residents reserve the right to delete the north side of 25~ Street at the end of the first six (6) month interval. Restricted pa~lna Houm: Restricted residential parking 24 hours a day/seven days a week. Residential parklna Permit Zone Feee: Annual Permit Fee*: Annual Visitor Hang-Tag*: $50.00 (plus tax) per vehicle. $50.00 (plus tax) (one hang-tag per resident). Visitor "Scratch-Off" 24 Hour hang-tag: $1.00 (plus sales tax) per hang-tag. Five (5) hang-tags may be purchased monthly up to six months in advance. Additional hang-tags are available for parties, social affairs, etc. Requirements: Bona fide residents of the Zone would be mailed a registration/decal purchase Package. Each resident that wishes to park vehicle(s) in the restricted parking areas outlined above must register to participate in the "Lake Pancoast" Residential Parking Permit Program (Zone11 ). Copies of the following documents would be required to register and purchase a decal/hang-tag for the zone: o Government Issued Photo Identification. o Proof of residency such as current (within last 30 days) utility bill (electric, gas, phone, etc.). January 14, 2004 Gornmi.~ion Memorandum Creation of Lake Pancoast/Amendment to Residential Parking Permit Zone Two Pege 3 of 5 O Valid vehicle registration** Notes: *All annualized ~cs may be prorated semi-annually. **Vehicle registration(s) with outstanding parking violations will not be allowed to participate in the residential parking progrern. All outstanding parking violations must be satisfied prfor to participation. Promulaatlon of Reaulaflons: Signs would be posted in the areas promulgating the appropriate restriction, including arrival signs warning drivers they are entering a restricted parking area as well as trailblazing signs to commercial parking facilities. Typically two to thrcc signs per block face would be installed promulgating the parking restrictions. Vehicles parking within these posted areas must display a valid residential parking decal, visitor hang-tag, or "scratch-off' hang-tag. Progressive enforcement would commence on an agreed upon date for a period of thirty (30) days in the form of warnings. This would graduate to the issuance of parking citations for a period of thirty (30) days, and subsequently, vehicle impoundment may be necessary to properly enforce the parking regulations/restrictions. Pot_entlaJ Add!tional (~.~treet Parking for Residents: The Administration is currently negotiating with the WolfsonianlFIU to utilize the Women's Club parking facility for various uses including future overflow residential parking needs. 500 BI0(~k of E_%nz_nola Way ~x_~an~ion (Flamlnao Park/Zone Two): The 500 block of Espanola Way is currently unregulated and it is completely surrounded by regulated on-street parking. All areas are regulated by either commercial parking regulations (parking meters, loading zones, etc.) or residential parking restrictions (Residential Parking Permit Zone Two/Flamingo Park) during certain days and hours. The competition for these unregulated parking spaces is fierce and can be a serious detriment to residents' quality of life. Notwithstanding the residents' parking needs, the 500 block of Espanola Way is clearly adjacent to an active entertainment district where there is a high demand for commercial parking. The peaceful co-existence of residential and commercial corridors is the very essence of urban life in South Beach. To this end, the residents of the 500 block of Espanola Way, to their credit, recognized this fact and embraced it. This is evidenced by their concurrence to the proposed recommendations for the south side of the 500 block of Espanola Way stated below. Numerous residents on the 500 block of Espanola Way requested that their block be included into the existing Residential Parking Permit Zone Two/Flamingo Park. The City of Miami Beach Parking Department held a publicly noticed workshop on Wednesday, August 20, 2003, January f4, 2004 Commission Memorandum Creation of Lake Pancoast/Amer~.ir~nt to Residential Perking Permit Zone Two Page 4 of 5 to receive comment and input from affected residents regarding the proposed expansion of the zone to include the 500 block of Espanola Way. Issues discussed at the workshop included construction, valet parking, disabled parking, residential parking, commercial (metered, loading zones, etc) parking, and enforcement. The Administration, in conjunction with the affected residents (workshop participants), formulated recommendations, supported unanimously by participants, to address each of the issues raised as follows: South ~iide of the ~00 block Of EeDanola Way: All parking spaces are to be metered; however, Residential Parking Permit Zone Two decals would be honored at these meters first-come first served. Currently, there are various expanded areas where residential permits are honored at parking meters. Resolution No. 99-23225 established various expanded areas in various zones. Due to the dynamics of residential parking users, it has been the Department's policy to honor residential permits within these areas throughout the entire day first-come first-served. As an example, if residential permits are honored strictly during the meter's hours of operation (9:00 A.M. to Midnight) then residents that have non-traditional working hours would be required to pay the meter at 9:00 A.M. and/or throughout the balance of the day. Conversely, residents with traditional working hours would reap a benefit that the other residents would not. It was further stipulated that this metered area would not be used for valet parking purposes; however, could serve other temporary purposes such as film/print and/or construction needs. North ~Ide of the $00 block of EeDanola Way: The first parking space, from east to west, will continue to be used as a "construction parking space*) from 7:00 A.M to 6:00 P.M. and valet parking drop-off/pick-up from 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. until alternative arrangement can be made to relocate the valet drop- off/pick-up area to another more suitable location. The second parking space, from east to west, would be a commercial loading zone from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M/Monday-Friday and would convert to a restricted residential parking space from 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. Monday-Friday and 24 hours a day Saturdays, Sundays, and Holiday. The third and fourth parking spaces, from east to west, would be restricted residential parking space. On October 7, 2003, the City's TPC (Transportation and Parking Committee) endorsed the Administration's recommendations to both create a new residential parking zone for the Lake Pancoast neighborhood, including the aforementioned parameters for the program and expand existing Residential Parking Permit Zone Two/Flamingo Park to include 500 block of Espanola Way as described above. Subsequently, as required by the City Code, the Mayor and Commission must hold a public hearing to recaive public comment, discuss, and, if acceptable, approve the proposed recommendations. January f4, 2004 Commission Memorandum Creation of Lake Pancoast/Amendmont to Residential Parking Permit Zone Two Page 5 of 5 For informational purposes, the notification efforts to all affected residents and businesses were extensive. There were two publicly noticed meetings heid prior to today's City Commission's public hearing for a total of three public hearings on the subject (Workshops on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 and August 20, 2003; Transportation and Parking Committee Meeting on October 7, 2003, and City Commission Meeting on November 25, 2003). On November 25, 2003, the item was deferred to January 14, 2004. Notification of this and ell other meetings was issued through the public notice process, including direct mail, to all affected residents for each of the meetings held. Moreover, notices were also mailed to all properties within 375 feet of the affected boundaries. The Administration recommends that the Mayor and Commission approve a resolution to create Residential Parking Permit Zone 11 for the Lake Pancoast neighborhood, as described herein and expand existing Residential Parking Permit Zone Two/Flamingo Park to include the 500 block of Espanola Way, as described herein. jMe~C,SF~ F:~iNG~,LL~SAUL~COMMRESO~kepancoaatS0(~keepwaY.~.~ PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL ZONE 11 (LAKE PANCOAST) BOUNDARIES SOUTH - SOUTHSIDE OF W 24TH STREET NORTH - SOUTHSIDE OF W 25TH STREET WEST- EASTSIDE OF PINE TREE DRIVE EAST- EASTSIDE LAKE PANCOAST DR W. 25 ST. ~ W. 24 TER~ LEGEND [7-~"~'~ PARALLEL P~RKING ~ HEAD-IN PAFRKING TOTAL SPACES: 204 +/- w~t of Pr~ A~enue. · -cot~ 30~.2489 (vo~e), 3~73-7~..1~,~_d~ ~ ~o OF NOTICE OF A PUBLIC H RING -- NOTICE · HEREBY gi~n th~ a Public Headng wffl ~ held ~ ~e Mayor and Commission ~ t~ Cl~ of Miami B~ch, Florida, in the C~m~sion Ch~, 3~ floor; City Hall, 17~ ~nvent~on Center Drive, Miami Beach, Florida, ~ ~n~day, danua~ 14, ~, at 5:~ p.m., to consi~ the establishme~ of a Restrict~ R~idential Parking Zone ~r the ~ke Pancoast Neigh~o~ ~d expanding exi~ing Resi0ential Paring Permit Zone Two ~l~ingo P~) on the 500 block of Espa~ola Way. inquiries may ~ dir~t~ to the Parking ~pa~m~t (305) 673-75~.
