Financial Impact Summary: Sidewalk cafes on Washington Avenue between 5th and 17`h Street generate
$64,160.00 annually in sidewalk café permit fees. If the program is successful in attracting additional sidewalk cafés
to Washington Avenue,the program will generate food and beverage resort tax revenue.

Program overview
The City of Miami Beach's Plot Parklet Program aims to facilitate the conversion of
on-street parking spaces into publicly-accessible open space on a temporary
basis for all to enjoy. The Parklet Pilot Program provides a path for merchants to
take individual actions in the development and beautification of the City's public
realm. The first formal public parklets were initially conceived and installed in
San Francisco in 2010. Since that time the program has become very successful
and is being emulated in cities around the world.
Parklets are intended as aesthetic enhancements to the streetscape,providing an
economical solution to the need for increased public open space. They provide
amenities like seating, planting, bike parking, and art. They reflect the City's
commitment to encouraging walking and biking, creating pedestrian-friendly
streets, and strengthening our communities by providing an economical
solution to the need for increased public open space.
Typically the materials consist of semi-permanent decks that expand the
pedestrian realm beyond the sidewalk, allowing business owners to increase
outdoor seating, without requiring permanent street redesign and construction.
They may include amenities such as seating,planters, bike parking,art and other
associated improvements, generally located in front of and developed and
operated by the adjacent business.
Program goals
Reimagine the potential of city streets.
Public rights-of-ways make up approximately 25 percent of the City's land area.
Parklets promote a low-cost, easily implementable approach to public space
improvement through projects that energize and reinvent the public realm. They
help address the desire and need for increased public open space and wider
sidewalks.
Encourage non-motorized transportation
Parklets encourage walking by providing pedestrian amenities like street
furniture, landscaping and public art. Parklets often provide bicycle parking and
thus increase the visibility of bicycling in Miami Beach.
Encourage pedestrian activity.
Parklets provide pocket spaces for pedestrians to sit and relax, while also
improving walkability.
Support local businesses.
Parklets attract attention to businesses and provide additional seating that can be
used by cafe customers and others. A parklet also beautifies the street and creates
a neighborhood destination.

Drainage.
The parklet cannot impede the flow of curbside drainage.
Designers are strongly encouraged to cover openings at
either end of the parklet with screens to prevent blockage
from debris. 111111111111111111111111111111

Street Crown and Curb Height.
Most Miami Beach streets are crowned (parabolic in cross-
section) and typically edged with a six-inch-high curb. This is
to ensure that stormwater flows towards the curb and gutter
during a rainstorm. The curb is intended to prevent water from
jumping the curb and flooding adjacent buildings.This means
that the elevation of the street rises the further you move from �: �°
the curb, effectively reducing the amount of space to build 13. . kizir th e arklet latform. Whereas alon the curb there ma ben ' •�.�^�'� '`

Furthermore, both curb heights and street crown heights
vary with each street segment. Applicants and designers are
strongly advised to take field measurements before beginning
the design to make sure their proposed platform solution will
fit within the allotted space and satisfy all slope and
accessibility requirements.

The Parklet
Buffer the edges.
Depending on the location, the parklet should have an edge to
buffer the street. This can take the form of planters, railing, ca-
bling, or some other appropriate buffer. The height and scale
of the buffer required will vary depending on local context. For
example, on some low-traffic streets, a continuous edge may
not be required. (If cable railing is used, spacing between
cables cannot exceed six inches).

Maintain a Visual Connection to the Street
Your parklet design should maintain a visual connection to the
street. Continuous opaque walls above forty-two inches that
block views into the parklet from the surrounding streetscape
are prohibited. You are allowed to include columns and other
vertical elements.
Umbrellas
For a parklet, if umbrellas are proposed, they shall not exceed
6 feet by 6 feet with a vertical clearance of 80 inches.
Responsibilities of Applicant
The applicant will be responsible for the following:
• A non-refundable application fee of$100.
• All costs related to design, materials and installation.
• In case of removal, the sponsor is responsible for all removal costs.
5
• The ongoing maintenance of the parklet including replacing, painting or fixing elements damaged due to
vandalism. All parklet designs shall contain at least one (1) ADA compliant accessible entrance.
• Insurance requirements for the installation and maintenance of a parklet depending on location and use.
• Maintenance of any movable furniture. In addition, all movable elements of the parklet must be safely
stored indoors after business hours. Landscaping elements are encouraged in parklet design. All
landscaping maintenance is the responsibility of the parklet applicant .
• General maintenance including furniture and non-approved graffiti removal. In addition, applicants must
maintain the area under the parklet free of debris in order to allow proper drainage, and pressure clean
the parklet as necessary.
Only street-fronting property owners or tenants may apply for a parklet. Sidewalk café parklets should also
comply with applicable requirements related to the City's sidewalk café ordinance, as specified in the
proposed permit application program. Parklets will only be allowed for businesses with sidewalk cafes. Landlord
consent to apply for a parklet is not needed.
Parklets that are associated with businesses with corner frontage on Washington Avenue may be constructed
on side streets but shall be counted as the parklet for that particular block on Washington Avenue. If
necessary, parklets may cross over between business frontages; however, each parklet applicant shall use its
best efforts to align its parklet with the business frontage. If the parklet expands beyond the property or
business frontage, the same procedures that apply to sidewalk café permittees shall apply to the
parklet applicant/permittees.
Uses other than sidewalk cafes may be introduced into parklets.
Parklets shall not have any additional signage other than the parklet public space designation approved by
the City of Miami Beach. Parklets must be located at least one parallel parking space away from the corner,
unless curb configuration, such as a large bump-out, allows for safe placement of a parklet closer to the corner
(evaluated on a case by case basis). In addition, parklets must have a three-foot wheel stop at both ends, and
bollards or large non-movable planters, in order to provide adequate protection for parklet users.
The Public Works Department shall administer the Pilot Parklet Program as the application and approval process
is very similar to that of sidewalk cafés. This is a pilot program and, as such, City staff will evaluate and adjust
the details of the program as needed. The Public Works Department will accept parklet applications on a first-
come, first-served basis.
Fees
The fees to apply for a parklet permit and participate in the Pilot Parklet Program are as follows:
1. A non-refundable application fee of$100.
2. $1,200 annual per on-street parking space occupied for the parklet.
