OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING TO
CONSIDER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF RESTRICTED RESIDENTIAL
PARKING PERMIT ZONE 13/LOWER WEST AVENUE.

Subject:
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
The City of Miami Beach Parking Department received petitions from residents of the
Lower West Avenue neighborhood (5th Street to 13th Street) requesting the establishment
of restricted residential parking zone for their respective neighborhood. The Parking
Department has surveyed the area and formulated recommendations for review by
residents of the neighborhood.
The Lower West Avenue (5th Street to 13th Street) corridor is comprised predominantly of
unregulated on-street parking spaces with the following exceptions which are metered
parking:
. 900 block of West Avenue (east side only)
. 1200 block (West Avenue to Alton Road) of 9th and 10th Streets
Currently, the unregulated areas serve as parking for residents; however, the predominant
intrusion into the unregulated area is generated by residents and their visitors from the
abutting residential parking zones (Residential Parking Zone Two/Flamingo Park and Zone
Three/Michigan Avenue). This intrusion is displacing residential parking spaces in the
Lower West Avenue corridor.
A publicly noticed workshop was held with residents of the affected areas on Monday,
February 23, 2004. A total of seven (7) residents attended the workshop despite extensive
notification efforts, including direct mail to all residents within 375 feet of the affected
areas. Participants had an opportunity to review, comment, and provide input. A majority
of the residents in attendance concurred with the recommendations. A vote was held at
the end of the workshop and a majority voted to proceed with the establishment of said
program. Subsequently, the Administration sent notices to all residents within 375 feet of
the affected areas advising that the City's TPC (Transportation and Parking Committee)
would review this issue on Monday, April 12, 2004. The TPC reviewed the Administration's
