RECOMMENDATION
The administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the subject ordinance.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On January 16, 2019,the request of Commissioner Michael Gongora, the City Commission referred a discussion item pertaining to
' Washington Avenue land use regulations,to the Land Use and D'evelopment Committee(Item K5B).
On April 16, 2019 the City Commission held a workshop regarding the future of Washington Avenue, and made recommendation
for proposed amendments to the City Code and Land Development Regulations(LDR's).
On May 8, 2019, the City Commission, at the request of Commissioner Ricky Arriola, referred a discussion item to the May 22,
2019 Land Use and Development Committee (LUDC) and the Planning Board regarding specific code changes to incentivize the
revitalization of Washington Avenue(Item C4N).
On May 22,2019,the LUDC discussed and combined the two aforementioned referrals and recommended the following:
1. Amend the proposed ordinance for Washington Avenue zoning incentives to include an increase in the occupational content
threshold for indoor entertainment establishments from 200 persons to 300 persons.
2. Recommend that the Planning Board transmit the Washington Avenue incentive ordinance to the City Commission with a
favorable recommendation.
3.Accept the administration recommendation regarding freight loading.
Commissioners Ricky Arriola and Michael Gongora are co-sponsors of the ordinance.
ANALYSIS
PLANNING ANALYSIS
On October 14,2015,the City Commission approved modifications to the development regulations for Washington Avenue in order
to incentivize hotel development along the Washington Avenue corridor between 6th Street and 16th Street. The incentives have
been successful at bringing hotel developments to the corridor. However, several stakeholders have sought to bring a greater mix
of uses to the corridor, including residential, office, and dining establishments.
On April 16, 2019, the City Commission held a workshop regarding the future of Washington Avenue. Pursuant to the direction of
the Commission and the LUDC,the following amendments to the land development regulations are proposed:
1.The following amendments to chapter 130:
a. Eliminate off-street parking requirements for co-living residential, office, and fine dining uses, including parklets associated with
https://miamibeach.novusagenda.com/agendapublic/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=14741&MeetinglD=683 1/3
10/18/2019 Coversheet
fine dining uses, on Washington Avenue.
b. Extend sunset provision for parking district no. 7 in section 130-33 of the City Code, which is set to expire on September 1,
2022. Currently the provisions expire on September 1, 2020.
2.An amendment to chapter 142 to increase the permitted height to 75 feet for properties on Washington Avenue that develop co-
living residential and/or office uses. Currently this increased height is limited to hotel uses.
3. An amendment to chapter 142 to provide that the occupational content threshold for indoor entertainment establishments
requiring conditional use approval as a neighborhood impact establishment be increased from 200 persons to 300 persons.
The proposed amendments provide for a scale that is consistent with what is currently permitted for hotel uses. The amendments
also provide for alternative uses that will allow for the creation of a vibrant local community with places to live,work, and play.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On June 25, 2019,the Planning Board held a public hearing and transmitted the ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable
recommendation by a vote of 4-1. Board member David Wieder was the dissenting vote, and he expressed concern with the
proposed height increase for co-living and office uses.
UPDATE
The subject ordinance was approved at first reading on July 17, 2019, with no changes. However, the City Commission
recommended that the following be considered prior to second reading:
1.Additional parking options;
2.Applying the proposed height increase to office uses only;
3. Expanding the sunset period to include all of the overlay attributes; and
4.Obtain feedback from Washington Avenue Business Improvement District.
For the September 11, 2019 City Commission meeting, the administration assessed the aforementioned items and recommended
no changes to the ordinance. In this regard,the proposal to eliminate off-street parking requirements for co-living residential, office,
and fine dining uses, including parklets associated with fine dining uses, is not expected to create off-street parking shortfalls in the
area, as there are existing parking garages between Washington and Collins Avenue at 7th, 10th, 13th, and 16th Streets.
Additionally, expanding the allowable height for co-living projects would not have a detrimental impact on the scale and context of
Washington Avenue, as these uses would be required to provide minimum setbacks on interior sides. Finally, the administration
would not recommend extending the sunset provision currently in place for off-street parking requirements to the remainder of the
overlay,as it could impact the ability of property owners to effectively market different uses.
The administration has reached out to representatives of the Washington Avenue BID regarding the proposed incentives ordinance
and requested that they provide any additional comments and feedback at the public hearing. The Executive Director of the BID
addressed the City Commission at first reading.
On September 11,2019 the subject ordinance was discussed and deferred to the October 16,2019,for affected property owners in
support of the proposal to meet with the larger Washington Avenue BID board, particularly about additional amendments being
proposed for co-living units.Additionally, the Commission agreed that any increase in height to 75 feet should be contingent upon
established lot aggregation requirements, regardless of use.The revised ordinance for second reading has been adjusted to reflect
this.
CONCLUSION
The administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the subject ordinance.
