WAIVING BY A 5/7THS VOTE THE ('illVERTISED PUBLIC BIDDING PROCESS AND
INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL OF THE FAIR RENTAL VALUE OF THE PROPERTY, AS
REQUIRED BY ORDINANCE NO. 92-2783.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve and adopt the attached
resolution approving the attached Parking Permit Agreement between the City of Miami Beach and
Broadcast Video, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1993, the City of Miami Beach has promoted the development of the film and entertainment industry.
Today, with the success ofMTV Latino, Post Edge, Sony Discos, and others in the industry, the City of
Miami Beach has become a hub of the film and entertainment industry in the Southeastern United States.
In an effort to establish this industry, it is imperative that the City address further and meet the parking needs
of the employers, employees, and clients of the film and entertainment industry.
Broadcast Video, Inc., is a production company planning to move operations to the City of Miami Beach.
The company plans to move into the Sony Building on Lincoln Road; however, BVI wishes to secure
~dequate parking to meet its business needs.
ANALYSIS:
The Administration has considered the request for 50 spaces in the 17th Street Municipal Garage and
supports the proposed Parking Agreement. The Administration is currently preparing a resolution to
standardize fees charged for monthly parking in municipal facilities; the relevant fee will be $50.00 plus tax,
monthly.

The terms of the Parking Agreement are as follows: permits or access cards will be issued for 50 spaces
on the fourth floor (roof top) of the 17th Street Garage, starting at a rate of $50.00 per month plus tax as
proposed to be charged in all municipal facilities and payable quarterly, in advance. The parking permits
will be honored 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, at the 17th Street Garage only. The Parking Agreement
is recommended for a term offive years, with the option to renew for one additional five-year term, based
on a recommendation by the City Administration and approval by the City Commission. The second through
fifth year of the Agreement will be subject to the same increases as in the City's adopted monthly parking
rate. Rate increases will be based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), or any increase in the monthly rate
adopted by the Mayor and City Commission, whichever may be greater.
Example
1 st year
2nd-5th year
$ 50.00 + 3.25 Tax, per space X 50 spaces = $ 2,662.50
$ 50.00 + CPI/City Increase per space + Tax X 50 spaces
CONCLUSION:
The request to waive by a 5/7 vote the advertised public bidding process and the independent appraisal of
the fair market value of the property, as stated by Ordinance Number 92-2783, for 50 parking spaces for
Broadcast Video, Inc., is reasonable and in the best interest of the City. Based on an analysis prepared by
the Planning Department (attached), the proposed use is in keeping with City goals and objectives and
conforms to the City Comprehensive Plan. Current usage of the 17th Street garage, during non-event periods,
ranges from 20% to 35%, leaving ample room to accommodate this request. The need for additional on-street
parking will be minimal due to the placement of employees of Broadcast Video, Inc., directly into the
garage. The revenue stream derived from this usage will allow the Parking Department to help defray the
cost of enhanced service levels now present in the facility. The Parking Department is preparing a
recommendation for consideration by the City Commission for a monthly rate of $50.00 plus tax, to be
charged at all City-owned parking garages; the rate under this proposed agreement is the same amount. The
Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the attached resolution.

Planning Department Study of Parking Lease Agreement
Between Broadcast Video Inc. and The City of Miami Beach
Subject:
Pursuant to City of Miami Beach Ordinance 92-2793, the following is an analysis of
the proposed parking agreement between The City of Miami Beach and Broadcast
Video Inc. for the use of fifty (50) parking spaces in the 17th Street Municipal Garage,
located on 17th Street between Meridian Court and Pennsylvania Avenue.
Ordinance #92-2783 requires that an analysis be undertaken using the following
criteria as described herein. What follows is each of the criteria and a response to
each.
1. Whether or not the proposed use is in keeping with City goals and objectives
and conforms to the City comprehensive plan.
The current Land Use designation of the site on the Future Land Use Map of the
City's Comprehensive Plan is, PF - Public Facility. The lease agreement does
not change the use of the site.
Broadcast Video is a post production company planning to move operations to
the City of Miami Beach. The company plans to move to the Sony Building on
Lincoln Road and their move is dependent upon 50 parking spaces for their
employees. The parking agreement is in keeping with the City's policy to
establish the City of Miami Beach as the hub of the film and entertainment
industry in the Southeastern United States.
2. The impact on adjacent property, including the potential positive or negative
impacts such as diminution of open space, increased traffic, improved
development patterns and provision of necessary services. Based on the
proposed use of the property, the City shall determine the potential impact of
the project on City utilities and other infrastructure needs and the magnitude of
costs associated with needed infrastructure improvements. Should it become
apparent that further evaluation of traffic impact is needed, the proponent shall
129
be responsible for obtaining a traffic impact analysis from a reputable traffic
engineer.
There should not be any adverse impact on adjoining property. The site is
currently a garage and the lease of 50 spaces will not affect the traffic flow in
and around the site. If these spaces were not leased to Broadcast Video, the
employees would still be using the garage because the Sony Building (601
Lincoln Road) has no parking.
3. A determination as to whether or not the proposed use is in keeping with a
public purpose and qommunity needs, such as expanding the City's revenue
base, reducing City costs, creating jobs, creating a significant revenue stream
and improving the community's overall quality of life.
The proposed use is in keeping with the public purpose of serving the needs of
the business and community residents. The moving of Broadcast Video to
Miami Beach furthers the City's goal of becoming the center of the film and
entertainment industry in the Southeastern United States, while simultaneously
expanding the City's revenues and creating job opportunities for residents.
4. Determination as to whether or not the development is in keeping with the
surrounding neighborhood, will block views, or create other environmental
intrusions, and evaluation of the design and aesthetic considerations of the
project.
The proposed lease will not change the design or physical character of the
municipal parking garage.
5. The impact on adjacent properties, whether or not there is adequate parking,
street, and infrastructure needs.
The municipal garage is currently used by the buildings on Lincoln Road for their
parking needs. This agreement will not change that, but only creates a steady
stream of revenue that the City can use for maintenance of the parking facility.
6. A determination as to whether or not alternatives are available for the
proposed disposition, including assembly of adjacent properties, and whether
the project could be accomplished under a private-ownership assembly.
This item does not apply.
7. Within the constraints of public objectives, the department should examine
financial issues such as job generation, providing housing opportunities, and the
return to the City for its disposition of property.
130
The Parking Department will be bringing to the Mayor and the City Commission
a resolution to standardize fees charged for monthly parking in municipal
facilities, and will recommend a $50.00 plus tax monthly parking rate. This is
the same rate proposed for Broadcast Video Inc. This agreement will provide
a steady stream of money to the City which will aid in the operation of the
municipal parking facility.
8. Such other issues as the Planning Department may deem appropriate in
analysis of the proposed disposition.

Re: Parking Agreement with Broadcast Video, Inc.
Dear Mera:
This letter confirms the arrangements that we are making in order to assist your tenant, Broadcast
Video, Inc. (BVI), in connection with providing them with 50 spaces for parking at the 17th Street
Garage.
In compliance with the applicable legal requirements, the City is prepared to enter into a Parking
Agreement with BVI for a term of 5 years, at market rates beginning with $50.00 at present, for
spaces to be assigned by the City's Parking Director. The City Attorney has advised us that an
appraisal must be made of the lease value of those spaces and that a public hearing must be
scheduled and advertised to waive competitive bidding requirements. To expedite the matter, we
have placed on the consent agenda of the City Commission meeting on Wednesday a scheduling of
that public hearing for January 8, 1997, and we are preparing the pertinent documentation. We
anticipate that the matter will be finalized immediately after the January 8 City Commission
meeting. As I indicated to you, it is the responsibility of the applicant, your tenant, to procure an
appraisal, but unless I hear from you to the contrary, we shall assist further by ordering the appraisal
on an expedited basis, paying for it, and then sending BVI the bill for reimbursement.
As I have also mentioned to you, the last time the City did a transaction like this, the Lessee made
substantial monetary commitments to the City as part of the consideration for the transaction. It is
a concrete sign of our desire to promote the production industry in Miami Beach with entities such
as BVI, that we are not imposing such requirements in this transaction.
133
If any aspect of this letter is not in keeping with our prior conversation, or is otherwise not
acceptable to you or your tenant, please let me know immediately and in any case prior to the start
of the December 18, City Commission Meeting.
Sincerely,
ose Garcia-Pedrosa
City Manager
