DATE: February 10, 2021
10:15 a.m. Second Reading Public Hearing
SUBJECT: PARKING REDUCTIONS - HARDING TOWNSITE ANS-AXE
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE CODE OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, BY AMENDING CHAPTER 130, ENTITLED "OFF-
STREET PARKING," ARTICLE II, "DISTRICTS; REQUIREMENTS," AT
SECTION 130-31, ENTITLED "PARKING DISTRICTS ESTABLISHED," TO
MODIFY PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION WITHIN
CD-2 OR MXE DISTRICTS LOCATED IN THE 9 . ` • - e • -
AVENUE--OR HARDING TOWNSITE LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICTS; AND
PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, REPEALER, SEVERABILITY, AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
RECOMMENDATION
The administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the subject Ordinance.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On February 12, 2020, the City Commission approved, at first reading, an ordinance reducing
the parking requirements for hotel and residential uses in the CD-2 zoning districts within the
Normandy Isles national register conservation district. At the request of Commissioner Ricky
Arriola, the City Commission referred the MXE portion of the subject ordinance to the Land Use
and Sustainability Committee (Item R5 H).
The MXE discussion item was placed on the March 17, 2020 agenda of the Land Use and
Sustainability Committee (LUSC). The March 17, 2020 LUSO meeting was postponed, and the
item was moved to the May 6, 2020 LUSC meeting. On May 6. 2020 the item was deferred to
the June 30, 2020 LUSC meeting.
On June 24, 2020 the City Commission adopted the ordinance reducing the parking
requirements for hotel and residential uses in the CD-2 zoning districts within the Normandy
Isles national register conservation district. At the request of Commissioner Ricky Arriola, the
City Commission also referred a discussion pertaining to parking requirements in the Harding
Townsite district in North Beach to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (Item R5 D).
At the request of the item sponsor the Harding Townsite parking discussion was combined with
Page 589 of 1252
the MXE discussion into a single item. Additionally, the combined item was deferred from the
June 30, 2020 LUSC agenda to the September 22, 2020 agenda. On September 22, 2020 the
LUSC discussed the proposal and transmitted it to the City Commission with no
recommendation.
On October 14, 2020, the City Commission referred the item to the Planning Board for review
and recommendation (Item C4 H).
ANALYSIS
PLANNING ANALYSIS
The attached map shows the North Beach areas of the City where parking reductions have been
proposed. Overlaid into this map are locations of existing parking facilities, as well as dedicated
transit stops and ridership information for these stops. This map illustrates how transit stops and
parking facilities are well within the established industry standard walking distance of 1/4 mile, or
1,500 feet.
A Map of the Harding Townsite area is also attached. The commercial areas of the Harding
Townsite historic district are much more limited, as the properties zoned CD-2 and MXE are
bounded by 73rd Street on the south, 75th Street on the north, Ocean Terrace to the east and
Harding Avenue to the west.
Attached is a revised Ordinance for Second Reading that only applies to the Harding Townsite
area and would remove the minimum off-street parking requirements for new construction that
meets certain minimum benchmarks, including the following:
1. Lots with a width of 100 feet or less.
2. Development sites of 6 units (hotel or residential) or fewer.
3. New buildings on development sites with existing buildings for which off-street parking is not
currently provided, where the total number of new residential and/or hotel units does not exceed
the number of existing residential and/or hotel units.
4. Properties located within 1,500 feet of a public transit stop, or within 1,500 feet of any public
or private parking garage.
The proposal would only apply to new construction (existing buildings do not have a parking
requirement). As such, the number of actual spaces required is limited to the square footage of
new construction, which is typically in the form of a ground level or roof-top addition.
The elimination of minimum parking requirements in local historic districts is good policy and will
be an incentive for existing buildings to be renovated and restored, as additions will be more
economically feasible. All addition and renovation proposals within the Harding Townsite districts
are subject to the review and approval of the Historic Preservation Board. This will ensure that
any proposed additions are limited, as well as sensitive and contextually compatible with both
the structure on site and the surrounding area.
Finally, with the recent adoption of the City-wide mobility fee, which replaced the concurrency
management fee for traffic, a broader measurement for mobility, as opposed to solely vehicular
Page 590 of 1252
traffic, has been put in place. The mobility fee considers all mobility aspects of a project and is
not limited solely to vehicular congestion and off-site vehicular storage.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On November 17, 2020 the Planning Board held a public hearing and transmitted the Ordinance
to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation by a vote of 6-0.
UPDATE
On December 9, 2020 First Reading of the proposed Ordinance was deferred to January 13,
2021. On January 13, 2021 the subject Ordinance was approved at First Reading for the
Harding Townsite area only. The MXE area was bi-furcated and referred to the Land Use and
Sustainability Committee for further discussion. The Ordinance provided for Second Reading
has been updated and only includes the Harding Townsite area.

RE: Edits to Resiliency Code
Hi Regis
This was to correct a scriveners error at adoption. We are updating the Resiliency Code in Gridics, so I don't think the old
version of the LDR's (Chapter 130) needs to be updated.

G ood aftern oon, Tom ,
A w hile back I had updated O rdinance 2021-4401 to Laserfiche , but when I asked Mun icode to make the edits to
the Code, they pointed out that Chapter 130 had been removed from the Code and is now part of the Resiliency
Code. How do w e go about m aking edits to the Resiliency Code?
