Members of the City Commission
FROM: Roger M. Car1t
City Manager
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH,
FLORIDA, PURSUANT TO RESOLUTION No. 92-20560, DIRECTING THE CITY
MANAGER AND CITY CLERK TO EXPAND RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT AREA #1
TO INCLUDE THE WEST SIDE UV COLLINS AVENUE AND SELECTED SIDE STREETS
AS WELL AS INCREASING THE APPLICABLE SEMI-ANNUAL PERMIT FEE.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the _attached
resolution which will direct the City Manager and City Clerk to provisionally
expand Residential Parking Permit Area #1 to the west side of Collins Avenue and
corresponding side streets between Eighth and Eleventh Streets on the south and
north respectively; implementing a semi-annual fee increase of $50.00 to be
effective on January 1, 1993 and directing the administration to evaluate the
effectiveness of the program for a one-year period.
BACKGROUND:
In June, 1990, Residential Parking Permit Area #1 was created by the City
Commission. This program was designed to effectively meet the parking
requirements of the diversified demographics of the neighborhood. The zone,
which is currently bounded by Fifth and Fifteenth Streets on the South and North
respectively and the mid-line of Collins Avenue east to Ocean Drive, provides
parking for production company vehicles, restaurant and hotel visitors as well
as those property owners and tenants of properties within the boundaries. As of
September 30, 1992, the Parking Department has issued and sold 200 semi-annual
permits at a fee of $75.00 for the six-month period which ends December 31, 1992.
The original concept was to provide for special residential parking needs for the
Ocean Drive corridor. During the preliminary analysis of the program, the
Administration determined that there w,.:re insufficient on- and off-street parking
spaces on Ocean Drive; therefore, the side streets were included. Additionally,
several of the side streets were identified and secured for production company
vehicles, which provides a significant effect on the economic conditions of the
neighborhood. Further study identified the need to expand to Collins Avenue and
the Legal Department determined that the effective borderline would be the center
line of Collins Avenue; thereby, excluding the residents of the west side of the
street.
ANALYSIS:
During the past year, several business owne� , expressed interest to expand the
residential parking permit area to include the west side of Collins Avenue. A
survey of the area revealed that a total of 335 units and 225 on-street spaces
exist on Collins Avenue west and the side streets to the alleyway between Fifth
and Fifteenth Streets. Further, there are 91 off-street spaces in the same
neighborhood. Many apartment buildings, however, have already provided tenant
parking and would not participate in this program revision.

Memo to Mayor and the City Commission October 8, 1992
Re: Residential Parking Permit Area #1 Page Two
Since the July 22, 1992 Commission Memorandum setting a public hearing to discuss
the proposed expansion of the existing residential parking permit area, the
Administration has met with representatives and property owners in the affected
zone. Staff has also carefully reviewed the parking needs of the west side of
Collins Avenue. A September survey revealed that the area with the greatest
demand exists between Ninth and Eleventh Streets.
For example, the 200 block of Seventh Street (which runs between Collins and
Washington Avenues) provides on-street parking primarily for short-term visitors
to several small businesses and restaurants. Equally as important is the fact
that very few residential units exist in this block. Ninth, Eleventh, and
Twelfth Streets are affected in the same manner. Those operational residential
units with parking requirements are able to find space in privately held parking
facilities or on their own grounds. Thirteenth Street is not affected since the
271-space garage exists on one side of the street and a 57-space surface lot is
available on the other side.
This scenario leaves between Eighth Street on the south and a location near
Eleventh Street on the north in question. With this newly available information,
the Administration would readdress the original proposal to- expand the zone
throughout the entire neighborhood. There are a total of 76 on- and off-street
parking spaces in the three block area to service 113 apartment units. These new
spaces will be in addition to the existing 88 on-street and 34 off-street spaces
located on the east side of Collins Avenue. (See attached map of the area for
clarification of existing and proposed expansion area.)
The Administration's analysis also determined that the $75.00 six-month permit
charge was clearly insufficient to meet the costs of the program. During the
same meeting with representatives of the neighborhood, the issue concerning the
pricing structure was addressed. A unanimous ccnsensus exists that the fee was
insufficient to cover the costs of the program.
Based upon the staff time required to manage the program, purchase the decals,
signs, poles, installation and enforcement time, the six-month fee should be
increased to $125.00. The proposed fee increase would correspond to revised
metered rate structure, now reflecting a cost of $1.00. The privilege of
parking in the target area as a resident should parallel these meter costs. With
the expiration of the existing permits currently scheduled for December 31, 1992,
it is recommended that this fee adjustment should be effective on January 1,
1993.
CONCLUSION:
After this detailed analysis of the neighborhood, identifying the specific number
of units and corresponding available parking spaces, the Administration believes
that this provision expansion of Residential Parking Permit Area #1 should be
expanded to the west side of Collins Avenue between Fifth Street on the South and
Fifteenth Street on the North, including only the 200 blocks of Eighth, Tenth and
Eleventh Streets. Additionally, the existing fee structure should be increased
to correspond to the meter rates in the neighborhood. Finally, it should be
noted that the Administration would recommend to withdraw its original proposal
to place a limit on the number of residential unit, permitted in the 13th Street
Parking Garage since these spa::°cs are essent:..1 to the effective management of
the residential and commercial users of the parking system in the area.
