RECOMMENDATION
The administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the subject ordinance.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
HISTORY
On January 16, 2019, at the request of Commissioner John Elizabeth Aieman, the City Commission
referred the subject discussion item to the Land Use and Development Committee (Item C4 AC). On
March 6, 2019 the Land Use and Development Committee discussed the item and directed staff to
draft an ordinance for review at the May 22, 2019 meeting.
On May 22, 2019 the LUDC discussed the proposed ordinance and recommended that the City
Commission refer the item to the planning board for review and consideration. On June 5, 2019, the
City Commission referred the proposed ordinance to the Planning Board for review and
recommendation (Item C4 U).
On July 9, 2019, the Historic Preservation Board discussed the item and recommended that the
Page 657 of 2046
North Shore National Register Historic District and Normandy Isles National Register Historic
District be excluded from the proposed ordinance. The board believed that eliminating parking would
remove the existing incentives to retain a contributing building, resulting in more demolition. The
HPB further recommended that the City Commission review the needs of each of the City's historic
and conservation districts before substantially modifying the parking requirements.
BACKGROUND
Chapter 130 of the land development regulations of the city code sets forth the minimum parking
requirements for new construction and additions to existing buildings. For residential apartment uses,
the following is a summary of the current minimum parking requirements:
Parking District No. 1:
• Apartment buildings in RM-1 or RM-2 zoning districts on lots that are 65 feet in width or less:
No parking requirement.
• Apartment buildings in RM-1 or RM-2 zoning districts on lots wider than 65 feet: One space
per unit for units between 550 and 1,600 square feet; two spaces per unit for units above 1,600
square feet.
• Apartment units in all other zoning districts:
1. One and one-half spaces per unit for units between 550 and 999 square feet;
2. One and three-quarters spaces per unit for units between 1,000 and 1,200 square feet;
3. Two spaces per unit for units above 1,200 square feet.
• Designated guest parking: Developments of 20 units or less shall have no designated guest
parking requirements. Multi-family buildings and suites-hotels with more than 20 units shall be
required to provide supplemental designated guest parking equal to ten percent of the required
residential parking spaces.
Parking Districts 2_through 8:
• Apartment buildings on lots that are 50 feet in width or less: 1.5 spaces per unit.
• Apartment buildings on lots wider than 50 feet:
1. One and one-half spaces per unit for units between 550 and 999 square feet;
2. One and three-quarters spaces per unit for units between 1,000 and 1,200 square feet;
3. Two spaces per unit for units above 1,200 square feet.
• Designated guest parking: Developments of 20 units or less shall have not designated guest
parking requirements. Multifamily buildings and suites-hotels with more than 20 units shall be
required to provide supplemental designated guest parking equal to ten percent of the required
residential parking spaces.
Additional Regulations for Parking District 5:
• For apartment buildings located within parking district no. 5, there shall be no designated
guest parking requirement;there shall be no parking requirement for existing structures utilized for
residential apartments; one space per unit for new construction and/or additions utilized for
residential apartments.
North Shore National Register District:
• Zero spaces per unit for:
Page 658 of 2046
1. Buildings on lots that are 65 feet in width or less;
2. development sites with six units or less, regardless of lot width;
3. New buildings on development sites with existing buildings that do not contain off-street
parking, where total number of new units does not exceed the number of existing units.
• One space per unit for buildings on lots greater than 65 feet in width. In the event that the
property owner can substantiate that the proposed new construction will not need to provide off-
street parking, the design review board or historic preservation board, as applicable, may waive
the parking requirement.
• For existing apartment, apartment-hotel and hotel buildings, which are classified as
"contributing" and of which at least 75 percent of the front and street side elevations, and 25
percent of interior side elevations, are substantially retained, preserved and restored, there shall
be no parking requirement for the existing structure, and any new additions, whether attached or
detached, regardless of lot width and number of units.
Normandy Isles National Register District:
• For existing apartment and apartment-hotel buildings, which are classified as "contributing",
and which are being substantially retained, preserved and restored, there shall be no parking
requirement for the existing structure, and any addition up to a maximum of 2,500 square feet,
whether attached or detached.
ANALYSIS
PLANNING ANALYSIS
This analysis pertains to minimum off-street parking requirements for residential, hotel and non-
residential uses within historic and conservation districts. In this regard, most lots within such
districts are not well equipped to accommodate the storage of vehicles, due to factors such as
the dimensions and location of existing buildings that are being retained, the size of the lot and
the difficulty with providing the necessary driveways and back-up dimensions. Additionally, the
storage of vehicles makes it more difficult to address the urban form of the larger, as-built
context, and promotes more vehicular circulation in and around a given site.
All the historic and conservation districts south of 44th Street and north of 63rd Street, have
easy access to multiple modes of transit (e.g. County buses and City trolleys). Considering this
access, as well as the prioritization of the pedestrian and non-vehicular modes of transit in the
city's transportation master plan, the administration believes that the minimum parking
requirements for these areas should be adjusted. Specifically, while a prohibition of vehicular
storage on smaller sites in these areas would be ideal, such a proposal may be ahead of its
time. As an alternative, removing the required parking within defined parameters would be a
good step in the interim.
The current parking requirements in the land development regulations were drafted almost 30
years, at a time when off street vehicular storage was at a premium, and individual car trips were
the primary method of transportation. Staff has found that the market, as opposed to an
engineering handbook on suburban parking, is a better guide for establishing whether off street
vehicular storage is needed, and how much storage would be needed, particularly in a defined,
compact urban area like Miami Beach. Additionally, by not having to construct on site vehicular
storage, the cost savings could allow for additional units, as well as increase the probability for
Page 659 of 2046
such units to serve the city's workforce. In general, residential housing that serves the
workforce, does not have the same demand for on-site vehicular storage.
•
The original version of the ordinance proposed to amend the parking requirements in historic
and conservation districts, as follows:
1. The minimum parking requirements for the new construction of residential and hotel units
would be one space per residential unit and .5 space per hotel unit.
2. The minimum parking requirements for the new construction of non-residential and non-hotel
uses, including allowable accessory uses, shall be as specified in the parking district for the
underlying property
3. There shall be no parking requirement for the following:
• Lots 100 feet or less in width.
• Development sites of 6 units (hotel or residential)or less.
• Development sites containing less than 5,000 square feet of new floor area.
• New buildings on development sites with existing buildings that do not contain off-street
parking, where total number of new units does not exceed the number of existing units or where
the total square footage does not exceed the square footage of the existing building.
• Properties located within 1500 feet of a public transit stop.
4. Additions to existing buildings: For existing buildings, which are classified as "contributing"
and of which at least 75 percent of the front and street side elevations, and 25 percent of interior
side elevations, are substantially retained, preserved and restored, there shall be no parking
requirement for the existing structure, and any new residential or hotel units,whether attached or
detached, regardless of lot width and number of units, as well as new construction of non-
residential and non-hotel uses, including allowable accessory uses, regardless of overall square
footage.
5. Exemptions. In the event that the property owner can substantiate that the proposed new
construction of residential or hotel units, as well as new construction of non-residential and non-
hotel uses, including allowable accessory uses, regardless of overall square footage, will not
need to provide off-street parking, the design review board or historic preservation board, as
applicable, may waive the parking requirements for residential and hotel units within a local
historic district or conservation district, in accordance with the Design Review Criteria or
Certificate of Appropriateness Criteria,as applicable.
Additionally, minimum bicycle parking requirements,for secure off-site storage for bicycles shall
be required.
As indicated previously, the same reasons cited above for the removal of the requirements for
residential uses also applies to other uses within historic districts. Typically, hotel guests and
patrons of accessory uses such as restaurants are even more likely to utilize alternative modes
of transportation including ride-share vehicles, public transit, and walking from nearby hotels.
And especially for local residents and tourists staying in Miami Beach, a ride-sharing service is
often more affordable and much more convenient than parking.
Page 660 of 2046
In its referral to the Planning Board, the City Commission requested that specific
neighborhoods be considered as to where these requirements could apply, as opposed to
being applicable citywide. In this regard, both the Historic Preservation Board and the Planning
Board recommended that the North Shore National Register Historic District and Normandy
Isles National Register Historic District be excluded from the proposed ordinance.
Additionally, the City Commission requested that potential financial impacts of the ordinance be
evaluated. Attached is a copy of LTC #403-2019, which provides a summary of parking
legislation over the last five years, the impact on recent development projects, as well as the
amount of money paid into the parking impact fee. In this regard, there has been a reduction in
the amount of money paid into the one-time fee since FY 2015-2016.
However, as indicated in the LTC, the administration cannot conclude for certain whether there
would have been a reduction in fees collected, or how the actual amount of fees collected would
be impacted by changes to the minimum parking requirements, based upon the following:
1. Certain development projects may not go forward, or may not have gone forward, unless the
required parking is/was reduced.
2.An applicant may try, or have tried,to provide some or all the required parking on site or within
1200 feet of the property.
3. The applicant may, or may have, reduced the overall unit count in the program, or the overall
square footage.
Since providing parking for new construction in historic districts is challenging,at best, due to the
reasons described in the planning analysis, property owners who endeavor to expand their
building footprint in historic districts must consider whether to pay the current one-time fee of
$40,000 per required space. The administration believes that this fee has been a hinderance to
small additions and new construction in historic districts. Often such additions and new
construction will subsidize the restoration and continued maintenance of older, historic
properties.
Considering the availability of public parking garages, as well as dedicated transit in proximity to
the historic districts recommended, the administration believes that the proposal to reduce and
eliminate parking spaces within the limited, and strategic areas identified is very worthwhile
public policy. Additionally, the legislation is fully consistent with the adopted Transportation
Master Plan,which de-prioritizes cars in the overall hierarchy of transit modality.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On July 23, 2019, the Planning Board held a public hearing and transmitted the ordinance to the
City Commission with a favorable recommendation by a vote of 4-0. The Planning Board also
recommended that the North Shore National Register Historic District and Normandy Isles
National Register Historic District be excluded from the proposed ordinance.
SUMMARY/UPDATE
Page 661 of 2046
On September 11, 2020, the City Commission considered the first draft of the proposed
ordinance,which was based on the direction provided at the March 6, 2019 LUDC meeting. The
item was continued to the October 16, 2019 meeting. On October 16, 2019, the item was
deferred to December 11, 2019, and Commissioner Arriola agreed to become the item
sponsor. On December 11, 2019, the item was deferred to January 15, 2020, at which time the
item was deferred again, to February 12, 2020.
At the direction of the item sponsor, the administration reduced the applicable areas of the
proposed ordinance, and the revised draft ordinance presented to the City Commission on
February 12,2020 consisted of the following, limited areas:
1. CD-2 zoning districts within the Normandy Isles national register conservation district.
2. MXE zoning districts south of 16th Street.
Additionally, the no required parking provision only applies to residential and hotel uses,
including accessory uses.
On February 12, 2020, the City Commission approved the subject ordinance at first reading, but
only for the Normandy Isle portion of the legislation. The MXE portion of the proposal was bi-
furcated and referred to the LUSC for further discussion. The attached ordinance for second
reading only includes the Normandy Isle area.
As indicated previously, the administration disagrees with the recommendation of the Historic
Preservation Board and the Planning Board to exclude the North Beach areas from the
proposed ordinance for the following reasons:
1. The North Beach Historic Districts follow the same demolition rules and criteria as do the
historic districts in South Beach.As such, they have the same constraints regarding the physical
ability to be able to provide off-street parking within a site.
2. The North Beach area is embarking upon a much-needed renaissance. The need for financial
relief from excessive fees is more critical within the historic districts in this part of the City.
3. The proximity to dedicated transit within the North Beach historic districts, as well as current
ridership levels is highly robust, as shown on the attached maps. Additionally, several parking
structures are being planned and proposed for future use within the North Beach area.
The revised proposal herein does remove most of the North Beach historic and conservation
districts. However, consistent with a separate recommendation of the Land Use Committee in
2019 to develop tangible incentives for the Normandy Isle business corridor, the CD-2 area of
Normandy Isle is proposed to remain. This CD-2 area would benefit greatly from this proposal,
as it would incentivize mixed uses for properties in the area. As such, the administration
recommends that the CD-2 zoning districts within the Normandy Isles national register
conservation district be included, as revised for second reading.
The attached map shows the area of Normandy Isle that the new parking reductions would
Page 662 of 2046
apply, revised in accordance with the more limited applicability noted above. Overlaid into this
map are locations of existing parking facilities, as well as dedicated transit stops and ridership
information for these stops. This map illustrate how transit stops and parking facilities are well
within the established industry standard walking distance of mile, or 1,500 feet.
CONCLUSION
The administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the subject ordinance.

Sec. 130-32. - Off-street parking requirements for parking district no. 1.
1. Minor clean-up modifications to North Beach National Register Conservation District to
bring up to date with parking reductions allowed for RM-1 and RM-2 zoning districts.
2. Religious use parking: The planning board,through the conditional use process, may waive
some or all required parking for new construction for religious institutions in the RM-1
district, provided the property is less than 8,000 square feet. Said conditional use
application shall include a traffic operations plan.
11-14-18
Sec. 130-33. - Off-street parking requirements for parking districts nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
Parking district no. 8 was established for the North Beach Town Center Core (TC-C), with the
following requirements:
1. Parking reductions for allowable uses.
2. No parking for hotel and office provided public parking within 1500 feet.
3. No parking for co-living units.
4. Expanded minimum distance for providing off site required parking to 2000 feet.
5. Fee-in-lieu may be utilized to satisfy required parking.
6. Minimum bicycle parking requirements
With regard to how the aforementioned parking reductions have impacted parking impact fees, an
analysis was done of projects approved since 2015.
The following is a list of projects approved in local historic districts subsequent to 2015, where the
parking provided was less than what was required under the previous code, or no parking was
provided. Projects located outside of historic districts are not eligible to pay a parking impact fee
for new construction. The impact fee revenue that may have been affected is also shown.
PERMITTED PROJECTS:
Raleigh Hotel at 1775 Collins Avenue—New Addition of Hotel and Accessory Uses.
The addition was permitted on April 17, 2018,with zero parking spaces provided, pursuant to Ord.
2018-4161. 74 Parking spaces would have been required under the parking regulations prior to
the reduction approved under Ord. 2018-4161. This would have resulted in a required one-time
impact fee of$2,960,000.00.
LAND USE BOARD APPROVED PROJECTS(Not Yet Permittedi
921 Euclid Avenue—Residential Addition.
The two residential unit addition was approved by the Historic Preservation Board in October of
2017. 2 spaces are provided on the approved plans (1 space per unit), which is a reduction of the
previously required 4 spaces(2 spaces per unit)under the previous code.This would have resulted

915-947 Washington Avenue— Building Renovation and Hotel Addition.
214 hotel units were approved by the Historic Preservation Board in February of 2017, with nine
parking spaces on site. Pursuant to the creation of parking district 7, zero parking spaces were
required. Under the previous code, at .5 spaces per unit, the subject project would have had a
parking requirement of 107 spaces. With 9 spaces provided on site, this would have resulted in a
required one-time impact fee of$3,920,000.00.

The total amount of impact fees nt i paid, based upon the aforementioned three projects, is
$6,960,000.00. However, we do not know for certain whether there would have actually been,a
reduction in fees collected, or the actual amount, based upon the following:
1. The development project may not have gone forward unless the required parking was
reduced.
2. The applicant may have tried to provide some or all of the required parking on site or within
1200 feet of the property.
3. The applicant may have reduced the overall unit count in the program, or the overall square
footage.
For informational purposes, attached is a summary of one-time parking impact fees paid since
2015.
If you have any questions regarding this summary, or you need additional information, please
