ANALYSIS
On September 13, 2017, the Mayor and City Commission directed the administration to explore the
opportunity to further increase parking in the Biscayne Beach Neighborhood at the property located
at 81 Street and Hawthorne Avenue and gain 25 to 30 parking spaces.
The future Biscayne Beach surface parking lot (Attachment A) is located at 8100 Hawthorne Avenue
and is a City owned property. A portion of this property is occupied by, a city -owned sanitary sewer
pump station. The parking lot design is progressing to thirty (30) percent development and is
anticipated to be presented to the community in September 2018 and Design Review Board (DRB) in
October 2018.
In order to maximize the parking area and obtain 28 parking spaces on this lot, a number of waivers of
certain City's Development Regulations, listed below, are needed:
1. LDR (Section 126 -11)
a) LDR Subsection 126 -11(a) requires 8.5 feet wide landscape area for tree planting. However, in
order to maximize the parking, by accommodating five (5) parking spaces and the driving lane, the
area along the southeast parking right of way can only accommodate a 7.2 feet wide landscape area.
b) LDR Subsection 126 -11(b) - requires one (1) landscaped area with trees within the first 90 linear
Page 717 of 1464
feet. However, along the west parking row, in order to obtain eight (8) parking spaces, the design can
only accommodate one (1) landscaping area for trees a distance of 96.2 linear feet.
2. LDR (Section 142 -106)
a) LDR Section 142 -106 (a) requires a front setback of 20 feet. However, due to the parking lot
configuration, the eastern property line can only accommodate a 13.5 feet front setback. The
reduction in the front setback is needed to accommodate a portion of a driving lane for traffic
circulation.
b) LDR Section 142 -106 (b) requires 22.5 feet rear set back. However, the west property line can
only accommodate a 13 feet rear setback. The reduced setback will allow the City to provide eight (8)
angled parking spaces and accommodate the existing City's sanitary sewer pump station
infrastructure.
The requested waivers would allow construction of the maximum number of parking spaces
(approximately 28) within this surface parking lot. The Planning Department staff has reviewed the
project, the waiver request and is likely to support the two (2) waivers.
The future Biscayne Beach surface parking lot is currently zoned Government Use (GU), open to the
general public and, pursuant to Section 142- 425(d) of the City Land Development Regulations, the
City Commission may waive by five sevenths vote (5 /7ths), following a duly noticed public hearing
advertised in the newspaper at least fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing, development regulations
"pertaining to governmental owned or leased buildings, uses and sites which are wholly used by,
open and accessible to the general public, or used by not- for - profit, educational, or cultural
organizations, or for convention center hotels, or convention center hotel accessory garages, or city
utilized parking lots, provided they are continually used for such purposes."
The City Administration, based upon the direction of the City Commission, seeks the two waivers of
the City's Land Development Regulations in order to provide 28 public parking spaces in the surface
lot.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the resolution.
