COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
A Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, accepting
the Recommendation of the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee to pursue new garage
development initiatives; include workforce housing that may require certain conditions, height
variances; and design with the ability to be converted to workforce housing in the future, if
parking demand declines.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Ensure Comprehensive Mobility Addressing All Modes Throughout The City.
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): Miami Beach Customer Survey
indicates 74%of residents and 72%of businesses rate the availability of parking across the
City as too little or much too little. Availability of parking was one of the changes residents
identified to make Miami Beach a better to live, work or play.
Item Summary/Recommendation:
Walker Parking Consultants conducted a citywide parking demand analysis, including the
identification of certain municipal parking lots that would serve well for the development of
garages. Subsequently,there are several initiatives, at varying levels of progress,to expand the
City's parking garage inventory, these include: Issuance of an RFP for the Development of
Parking Garages within the City; Development of standalone City projects to promote behavior
modification to encourage use of off-street parking versus on-street parking to reduce traffic
congestion and provide an option for a dedicated path for streetcar/light rail in certain corridors.
Also, private entities have expressed interest in developing sites either as joint development or
P3 projects along northern West Avenue. Subsequent to these initiatives, the Mayor and
Commission has given direction to pursue workforce housing options. The aforementioned RFP
for Development of Parking Garages and development of city surface parking lots to garages
predated this direction to include workforce housing in parking expansion projects. Henceforth,
the Administration will review each project and provide recommendations for workforce housing
where it would be most suitable. The Finance Committee motioned and approved the following
recommendation: Pursue Workforce Housing in new parking garages, concentrating on
Municipal Parking Lot P55, located at 2660 Collins Avenue, including a concept design that
reduces the impact on neighbors; Municipal Parking Lot P23 and P24, located at 1623 and 1671
West Avenue, respectively, as a City standalone project or with a developer; and Municipal
Parking Lot P13, located at 1000 Washington Avenue. The recommendation further states,
garages should have a liner with neighborhood retail or art studios on the first level; provide
consideration for increased height up to 75 feet, contingent upon the neighborhood; and design
new garages with flexibility to be converted to workforce housing in the long term, if parking
demand declines Additionally, the Administration recommends workforce housing be a turnkey
operation and awarded to private sector expertise through a competitive procurement process.
Administration Recommendation: Adopt the Resolution.

(1) Issuance of an RFP for the Development of Parking Garages within the City.
(2) Development of standalone City projects to:

development or P3 projects along northern West Avenue.
Subsequent to these initiatives, the Mayor and Commission has given direction to pursue
workforce housing options. The aforementioned RFP for Development of Parking Garages

workforce housing in parking expansion projects. Henceforth,the Administration will review
each project and provide recommendations for workforce housing where it would be most
suitable.

ANALYSIS
On March 18, 2016,the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee(FCWPC)discussed Item
Nos. 208, 238, 263, and 277). The following are updates for each item, some of which were
derived from the Walker Parking Analysis; aforementioned RFP process, and interest
expressed by private entities.
Item No. 208 - Parking Demand Analysis/Walker Parking
On September 22, 2015, LTC 383-2015 was issued and the referenced parking demand
analysis, in its entirety, including a Supplemental Report is available online. The
Supplemental Report contains the following updated information:
• Removal of private parking utilization contained in the initial report.
• Parking rate analysis and recommended strategies.
• Conceptual parking structure layouts for various city owned metered parking lots.
The following locations were Identified in the Walker Parking analysis for potential Parking
Garage Expansion. Staff has evaluated these locations and worked with the Planning
Department to evaluate co-locating workforce housing on those sites:

RFP for the Development of Parking Garages within the City:

Accept Recommendation FCWPC New Garages & Workforce Housing
Page 3 of 5
The following two proposals were received through the RFP process and were approved by
the City Commission to proceed to Phase II (term sheet/financial proposal).
Washington Properties, LLC and RF 930 Washington, LLC
1. Washington Properties, LLC and RF 930 Washington, LLC, the "Developer"
proposed a joint development of Municipal Parking Lot No. P12, containing 24
parking spaces, located at 900 Washington Avenue and the adjacent property,
located at 930 Washington Avenue, currently a bank with a drive-thru teller facility
and small parking lot. The Developer proposes a 145 room hotel that would serve
as liner building to a 247 space parking garage. Of the 247 spaces, 145 are
proposed to be"City"owned public parking spaces, increasing parking availability by
121 spaces. The balance, 102 spaces, are required parking for retail and hotel
accessory use.
2. Terranova Corporation
Terranova Corporation, the"Developer" proposed a joint development of Municipal
Parking Lot No. P62, located at the southeast corner of West 42nd Street and
Jefferson Avenue, containing 30 parking spaces and the adjacent property, located
at 830 West 42nd Street, currently a private parking lot owned and serving the
Terranova office building. The Developer proposes a parking garage with either 123
spaces on two levels or 188 spaces on three levels, compared to 30 parking spaces
in the existing City lot, results in an increase of 93 to 158 total spaces. In either
alternative, Terranova requires 40 spaces in the immediate term and not to exceed
60 spaces in the longer term. The balance of the parking spaces would be City
owned public parking spaces, increasing parking availability between 53 and 118
parking spaces, contingent upon the alternative selected and potential future
demand by Terranova.
City Standalone Projects:
The following projects were approved as part of the FY 2015/16 Capital Budget and FY
2015/16— FY 2020/21 Adopted CIP.
• Conversion of Municipal Parking Lot No. P13, located at 1000 Washington Avenue
to a garage.
• Conversion of Municipal Parking Lot No. P16, located at 1262 Collins Avenue to a
garage.
• Expansion of an existing garage at 12th Street and Drexel Avenue (Police Station).
The CIP (Capital Improvement Projects) Department is actively moving these projects
forward by developing design and feasibility.
Please note private entities have expressed interest in developing two sites either as joint
development or P3 projects along northern West Avenue that may serve as "intercept"
garages from the Venetian Causeway. Please note further that the sale, exchange,
conveyance or lease of ten years or longer of properties between 16th Street and 17th Street
shall require approval by a majority vote of the voters in a City-wide referendum, pursuant to
the City of Miami Beach Charter.

Intermodal/Intercept Garages
The City's Transportation Department is evaluating potential location for an intermodal/
intercept garages that would ideally be located at one of the gateway points to the City in
order to intercept vehicles and reduce traffic volume on City streets. The City is looking at
sites at the I-195/Julia Tuttle Causeway interchange; vicinity of Alton Road and 5th Street;
and vicinity of the Venetian Causeway.
If a location at one of the gateway points of the City is not attainable, a potential site is the
combined parcels of Municipal Parking Lot No. P63, located on 42nd Street and Royal Palm
Avenue and the 42nd Street Garage immediately east of the aforementioned parking lot.This
location has some issues to overcome as it is several blocks inland from I-195/Julia Tuttle
Causeway and it is immediately adjacent to the Orchard Park neighborhood. Clearly, the
latter would require resident input and some level of treatment to buffer the neighborhood.
Other Potential Proposals
Please note private entities have expressed interest in developing two sites either as joint
development or P3 projects along northern West Avenue that may serve as "intercept"
garages from the Venetian Causeway. Please further note the sale,exchange, conveyance
or lease of ten years or longer of properties between 16th Street and 17th Street shall require
approval by a majority vote of the voters in a City-wide referendum, pursuant to the City of
Miami Beach Charter.
Item No. 238 — Discussion regarding a public private partnership for a two-story
parking structure to be erected over both city parking Lot P62 and a private parking
lot, on 42nd street, between Jefferson Avenue and Meridian Avenue.
Terranova Corporation has submitted this project as a proposal in response to the
aforementioned RFP for the Development of Parking Garages. On Wednesday, March 9,
2016, the Mayor and Commission discussed Item No. R7H, entitled, "Accept
Recommendation, Develop Public Parking Garages within the City". The Mayor and
Commission approved the item which enables this proposal (and Washington Properties
LLC/RF 930 Washington Avenue, LLC proposal)to proceed from Phase I (qualifications)to
Phase II (term sheet/financial proposal).
Item No. 263 -Discussion regarding the construction of a parking garage at the 27th
Street and Collins Avenue parking lot.
The Walker Parking Analysis identified this metered surface parking lot as one that could be
developed in order to address parking demand in the Collins Avenue/Indian Creek corridor.
The City controls its own destiny and may pursue development of this property on a
standalone basis without seeking any joint venture partnership. Therefore, it was excluded
from the aforementioned RFP process. This site would provide much needed parking relief
in an area that has experienced unprecedented growth in the last several years.
Item No. 277 - Discussion regarding a potential public-private partnership with 1234
Partners, Ltd. for a parking garage on the 1200 block of Washington Avenue.
Initial discussions with the Developer were unsuccessful as the terms were not acceptable to
either party. There was a potential opportunity to receive a development proposal through
the aforementioned RFP for Development of Parking Garages; however, this was not the
case.

Project Funding
As you know, a component of last year's parking rate increase is to fund parking garage
expansion, citywide. This increase, coupled with other funding sources,with the exception of
RDA(Redevelopment Agency) funds, may be funding source for these projects; however,
these sources are finite. The Administration will be seeking guidance in the prioritization of
projects for these limited funding sources.
CONCLUSION
The FCWPC recommended having the Administration pursue workforce housing in new
parking garages, concentrating on Municipal Parking Lot P55, located at 2660 Collins
Avenue, including a concept design that reduces the impact on neighbors; Municipal Parking
Lot P23 and P24, located at 1623 and 1671 West Avenue, respectively, with as a City
standalone project or with a developer; and Municipal Parking Lot P13, located at 1000
Washington Avenue.
Additionally, garages should have a liner with neighborhood retail or art studios on the first
level; provide consideration for increased height up to 75 feet, contingent upon the
neighborhood; and design new garages with flexibility to be converted to workforce housing
in the long term, if parking demand declines. Furthermore,the Administration recommends
workforce housing be a turnkey operation and awarded to private sector expertise through a
competitive procurement process.
