TITLE: 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 106, ENTITLED "TRAFFIC AND
VEHICLES," BY AMENDING ARTICLE 11, ENTITLED "METERED PARKING," BY
AMENDING DIVISION 2, ENTITLED 'RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMITS," BY
AMENDING SECTION 106-79, ENTITLED 'ISSUANCE OF PERMITS;

AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Administration ("Administration") recommends that the Mayor and City
Commission ("City Commission") approve the subject Ordinance amendment on
Second Reading/Public Hearing.
BACKGROUNDIHISTORY
The process for establishing a Restricted Residential Parking Permit ('RRPP") zone in
the City of Miami Beach ("City") is set forth in the City Code.
Article 11, entitled "Metered Parking", of the City Code, Section 106-78, entitled "Creation
of residential permit parking area", states: "Whenever the City Manager or his (or her)
designee shall make a determination that a residential area is impacted by commuter
vehicles in accordance with the criteria set forth in sections 106-76 and 106-77, he (or
she) may initiate the creation of a residential permit parking area. A request for a
determination by the City Manager or his (or her) designee may also be initiated through
a petition of a majority of the bona fide residents of a residential area."
From time to time, the Administration reevaluates established zones and determines that
certain modifications to a zone(s) are beneficial.
On July 24, 2024, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2024-33222 (Attachment
A) establishing the North Beach RRPP Zone 26 Pilot Program ("Zone 26 Pilot Program").
Upon conducting further community outreach, the City staff has discovered that there are
certain residential buildings located outside of the Zone 26 Pilot Program boundaries that
do not have any on-site parking and are currently not allowed to participate in the Zone
26 Pilot Program. Residents of these residential buildings have requested to participate
in the Zone 26 Pilot Program as they do not have a parking option, other than metered
Page 495 of 1452
on-street parking.
Sec. 106-79 of the City Code, entitled "Issuance of Permits, Placement of Signs",
paragraph (b)states that "a permit shall be issued upon application and payment of fees,
if any, only to the owner or the operator of a motor vehicle who resides on property
immediately adjacent to a street or other location within the designated area."(Attachment
B).
ANALYSIS
In order to expand the eligibility for participation in the North Beach RRPP Zone 26 Pilot
Program and Include residential buildings that are not directly adjacent to the designated
zone, an amendment to the City Code is necessary.
This ordinance would amend the current City Code, granting the City Manager authority
to exercise discretion to make modifications to established RRPP zones, provided that
the affected properties meet certain predefined criteria. The specific requirements
(criteria) that must be met for such modifications to be considered include the following:
• The resident(s) resides immediately adjacent to a street or other location within
the designated area or within 1,500 feet of the outside boundary of the residential
parking permit area;
• The original certficate of occupancy for the building was issued prior to October
1, 2024;
• The residential building does not have off-street parking on the property (i.e. no
on-site parking), and
• The issuance of the residential parking permit would not have a material impact
on the available parking within the RRPP zone.
The Ordinance was approved on First Reading, It is important to note that, if approved on
Second Reading, this criteria would apply to all RRPP Zones citywide, and the proposed
modifications, including the specific addresses of the residential buildings to be included
in the Zone 26 Pilot Program, will be presented via resolution as a companion item during
the Second Reading/Public Hearing of this Ordinance.
