NOVEMBER 30, 2004, DUE TO ANTICIPATED INCREASED
TRAFFIC AND PARKING DEMAND CAUSED AS A RESULT OF
THE RENOVATION; ALLOWING FOR THE PROVISION OF THE

WHEREAS, the City has historically experienced parking shortages during
construction projects such as the Bayview Condominiums renovations and major
events such as the Collins Avenue Reconstruction Project Phase I and II and
Municipal Parking Lot 4C (Epicure Lot); and
WHEREAS, during various periods throughout the year, severe parking
demand has historically led to mobility problems and ultimately gridlock on our City's
roadway system; and
WHEREAS, parking facility renovations, from time to time, also temporarily
displace public and/or private parking and in certain highly trafficked areas, create a
short term parking emergency similar to those experienced during special events and
event weekends; and
WHEREAS, the Administration has found that allowing for the use of
specified vacant surface parking lots for additional parking opportunities during
renovation projects and/or high impact events, coupled with an enhanced
Electrowave circulator program (park-and-ride) service, has alleviated the mobility
problems and gridlock anticipated during these event weekends; and
WHEREAS, the Administration finds that such a temporary parking
emergency may exist from March 1, 2004 through November 30, 2004, due to the
renovation of the Vistas Condominium Parking Garage, located at One Century
Lane, and would herein recommend that the Mayor and City Commission recognize
such actions for the term set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, the Administration has identified a specified vacant surface lot,
located at 1231-1251 1ih Street (Housing Authority Lot), which is available for use
from March 1, 2004 through November 30, 2004, to alleviate anticipated traffic
congestion and severe parking demand; and
WHEREAS, the Administration shall require parking operators and/or lot
owner to secure the appropriate insurance and occupational licenses, as required by
the City Code, to operate the referenced lot for self-parking and/or valet parking, for
this purpose.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND
CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor
and Commission approve and declare the existence of short-term parking emergency
created as a result of the Vistas Condominium Parking Garage renovation, located at
One Century Lane, from March 1, 2004 through November 30, 2004, due to
anticipated increased traffic congestion and parking demand caused as a result of
the renovation; allowing for the provision of the vacant lot located at 1231-1251 1ih
Street, owned by the Housing Authority, to be utilized to satisfy said increased
demand; provided that the City shall further require parking operators to secure the
appropriate security, insurance and occupational licenses required by the City Code

Item Summary/Recommendation:
During construction projects and various events and/or weekends throughout the year, severe parking
demand leads to mobility problems and ultimately gridlock on our City's roadway system. This fact has been
experienced during the Collins Avenue Reconstruction Project Phase I and II, the renovations to the Bayview
Condominiums Parking Garage, located at 1345 Lincoln Road, Municipal Parking Lot 4C (Epicure Lot)
Renovations, Boat Show, Memorial Day Weekend, Art Basel, and New Year's Eve. The creation of
additional parking opportunities for visitors to the City during renovation projects and/or high impact events,
coupled with an enhanced Electrowave circulator program (park-and-ride services) alleviates the mobility
problems and gridlock anticipated during these renovations, events, and/or weekends.
The Administration recommends the adoption of the resolution.

PARKING EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO THE VISTAS
CONDOMINIUM PARKING GARAGE RENOVATION, LOCATEDATONE

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City of Miami Beach has experienced parking shortages during construction projects
such as the Bayview Condominiums Parking Garage renovation, located at 1345 Lincoln
Road, and major events such as the Collins Avenue Reconstruction Project Phase I and II,
Municipal Parking Lot 4C (Epicure Lot), NFL Weekend 1999, the NMMA Boat Show,
Graphics of the Americas, Art Basel, and Auto Show. There are various construction
projects and annual or one-time special events scheduled on Miami Beach and the
Administration has determined that there will be a severe parking shortage for a number of
these projects/events.
ANALYSIS
The Vistas Condominiums, located at One Century Lane, is renovating their parking
structure. The renovations will render the structure useless for parking between March 1,
2004 and November 30, 2004. The Administration deems that this constitutes the
declaration of a parking emergency in order to temporarily provide additional parking in a
vacant parking lot in the area. This will alleviate the demand for parking. The Vistas
Condominium residents will use a portion of the Venetian Causeway for on-street parking.
Vistas Condo Parking Emergency
Commission Memorandum
February 4, 2004
Page 2
The City's Public Works, CIP, and Parking Departments are currently processing a permit
with Miami-Dade County Public Works Department to temporarily re-stripe the roadway in
order to allow for a temporary on-street residential parking permit program during the
aforementioned specified dates; however, this temporary solution will only provide 17 on-
street parking spaces and the Vistas Condominium residents will be in need of
approximately 40-50 spaces prompting the need for this action.
CONCLUSION
The Mayor and City Commission should approve the declaration of a parking emergency
during the renovation of the Vistas Condominium Parking Garage from March 1, 2004
through November 30, 2004. The Administration further requests that the Mayor and City
Commission authorize the City Manager to require parking operators to secure the
appropriate insurance and occupational licenses required by the City Code to operate self-
parking and/or valet parking operations for this purpose.
