FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: February 10, 2016 SECOND READING — PUBLIC HEARING
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment—Off Stre.t Loading Spaces Ordinance
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 130 "OFF STREET
PARKING", ARTICLE IV, "OFF-STREET LOADING", BY MODIFYING THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR CALCULATING AND PROVIDING REQUIRED
LOADING SPACES FOR EXISTING BUILDINGS, CHANGES IN USE AND
NEW CONSTRUCTION, INCLUDING ENCLOSED STRUCTURES USED FOR
THE STORAGE AND PARKING OF VEHICLES; PROVIDING FOR
REPEALER; SEVERABILITY; CODIFICATION; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
On June 10, 2015, at the request of Commissioner Deede Weithorn, the City Commission referred
this item to the Land Use and Development Committee (Item C4J). On June 17, 2015, the Land
Use and Development Committee discussed the item and directed the Administration to prepare a
draft Ordinance for the July 29, 2015 Land Use Committee meeting.
On July 29, 2015, the Land Use and Development Committee discussed the item and
recommended that the attached Ordinance Amendment be referred to the Planning Board.
Commissioner Joy Malakoff agreed to sponsor the proposed Ordinance.
On September 2, 2015, the City Commission referred the attached Ordinance Amendment to the
Planning Board (Item C4A).
ANALYSIS
The proposed Ordinance would modify the current regulations pertaining to off-street loading
requirements, as provided for under Chapter 130, Article IV of the Land Development Regulations
of the City Code. These requirements are designed to provide adequate facilities for loading and
unloading as it relates to multi-family and commercial properties. The current regulations establish
specific loading space requirements based upon use, as well as design standards.
Commission Memorandum
Ordinance Amendments—Off Street Loading Spaces Ordinance
February 10, 2016 Page 2 of 3
Since these standards were adopted, certain functional and practical problems associated with
both the wording of this section of the code, as well as the ability to provide off-street loading
spaces, have been identified. In this regard, the following is noted:
• The current language does not provide any latitude for changes in use within existing
buildings, which may not be physically capable of providing a code compliant off-street
loading space(s). These would include historic buildings.
• The current regulations do not create a separate standard for new construction that can
more easily accommodate loading spaces within a parking garage. Such a minimum
requirement has been suggested as a part of this larger discussion.
In order to address the pressing issue of existing buildings and changes in use, the following
modifications were originally proposed to Sec 130-131:
1. Clarify that minimum off-street loading requirements are applicable to new construction,
including any physical expansion of a structure or use.
2. For multi-family and commercial buildings utilizing enclosed structures for the storage
and/or parking of vehicles, all required loading spaces must be provided internally.
3. For a change of use in an existing building, required loading must either be provided in
accordance with the existing off-street loading schedule or a detailed plan delineating on-
street loading shall be approved by the parking department.
4. For properties located within a locally designated historic district, or historic site, the
Historic Preservation Board may waive the requirements for off-street loading spaces for
properties containing a contributing structure, provided that a detailed plan delineating on-
street loading is approved by the parking department.
The Administration believes that the modifications proposed herein are consistent with the
direction of the Commission as it pertains to improving loading areas in the City. The proposed
changes also clean-up the existing code language pertaining to existing buildings.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On October 27, 2015, the Planning Board transmitted the proposed ordinance amendment with a
favorable recommendation. The Planning Board also recommended that the proposed waiver
provision be applicable to all properties, and not just certain types of properties located in historic
districts. The recommendation of the Planning Board has been incorporated into the text of the
attached Ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT
In accordance with Charter Section 5.02, which requires that the "City of Miami Beach shall
consider the long term economic impact (at least 5 years) of proposed legislative actions," this
shall confirm that the City Administration City Administration evaluated the long term economic
impact (at least 5 years) of this proposed legislative action. The proposed Ordinance is not
expected to have a negative fiscal impact upon the City.
