R5E-Hotel Parking RequirementsCOMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
An Ordinance Amendment proposing to modify the off street parking requirements for hotel
development in the Cit .
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Neighborhood satisfaction and Maintain strong growth management policies.
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc More than half of all residential respondents,
55%, suggested the effort put forth by the City to regulate development is "about the right amount"
Issue:
Should the City Commission approve an Ordinance at First Reading modifying the off street parking
re uirements for hotel develo ment?
FIRST READING
The proposed Ordinance would amend the parking requirements for hotel development within the City
by reducing the off street parking requirement from 1 space per hotel unit to .5 spaces per hotel unit,
for the first 100 units. There are 2 versions of the Ordinance. The Planning Board has recommended
that the .5 ratio be applicable city wide. The Planning Department version recommends that the .5
ratio be applicable in certain, defined areas of the City, including historic and national register districts,
as well as areas of North Beach, and . 75 spaces per hotel room outside of local historic Districts.
Both versions exclude the West Avenue residential corridor and south of Fifth Street
The Administration would recommend that the City Commission approve either the Administration
Recommendation alternative or the Planning Staffs recommendation upon First Reading and set a
Second Readin Public Hearin for Februar 6, 2013.
On October 30, 2012, the Planning Board (PB File No. 2078) recommended that the City
1 Commission approve the Planning Board version of the proposed Ordinance by a vote of 5-2.

Financial Impact Summary:
The proposed ordinance, by reducing required parking for hotels in historic districts, will reduce the receipts for
fees in-lieu of parking, as many hotel projects in these districts must resort to paying these fees when parking
on site or nearby cannot be provided. Although the amount of the reduction in impact fees to the City cannot
accurately be pinpointed as this involves estimating future development levels, some hotel projects already
underway would be affected, and the resulting impact to the City of forgoing these payments would be
approximately $2,5 million.
Balanced against the potential loss of parking impact fee revenue is the potential for additional revenue from
increased hotel development, which might be expected to include an increase in resort tax receipts, and a
general improvement in the property tax base and income from permits and fees that may be associated with an
increased level of new proposed development. Increased hotel room construction within appropriate areas of
the City would be expected to have a positive effect on the overall economic health of the City, as estimates
indicate that spending by visitors to hotels in Miami Beach is approximately $621 per room/night, including room
rate, transportation, entertainment, meals and shopping. At an occupancy rate of 75.3%, this would translate
into $170,000 in additional economic activity per year, and approximately $2,600 in additional resort tax
collections per year, for each additional hotel room added.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Planning Department version of the Ordinance on First Reading and set a
Second Reading Public Hearing for February 6, 2013.
BACKGROUND
A discussion regarding parking requirements for hotels and how the City can incentivize
good hotel development was referred to the Land Use and Development Committee by
the City Commission on February 9, 2011. On May 16, 2012, the LUDC referred the
matter to the Planning Board and recommended that the Board review a proposed
ordinance amending hotel parking requirements for hotel units only, but not the parking
requirements for accessory uses. On October 30, 2012, the Planning Board considered
the version of the Ordinance being recommended by the Planning Department. and
recommended approval of a slightly different version of the proposed Ordinance.
ANALYSIS
As noted in Attachment 1, the current parking requirements for hotels, and for
convention hotels are based upon the number of rooms within the hotel. There are also
additional parking requirements for accessory uses within hotels, such as retail,
restaurants, auditoriums, ballrooms, convention halls, gyms, and meeting rooms,
although they are less than those requirements for stand~alone uses, since the
assumption is that many of those patrons using the accessory uses will be hotel guests.
The mix of such uses found in various hotel developments means that there could be a
wide differential of the amount of parking actually needed, based upon the different
combination of uses. Many restaurants and clubs located within hotels actually draw a
large percentage of patrons from outside of the hotel, and would rationally need more
parking than those that were primarily used by hotel guests.
According to the Greater Miami Convention and Visitor's Bureau, 98 percent of overnight
visitors to Miami Beach arrive by airplane. The visitors' decision about whether to rent a
car will be influenced by many factors including walking distance to restaurants,
shopping, entertainment, and/or convention/meeting space; therefore, location of the
hotel is another important variable in determining hotel parking demand. Other factors
379
Commission Memorandum

January 16, 2013 Page 2 of 6
that influence the rental car choice are purpose of trip, length of stay, cost of parking and
visitor profile. These factors are more difficult to analyze than location, but there are
certain hotels that cater to a particular market segment that could arguably predict
parking demand based upon its typical guest profile.
The Planning Department contacted the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau
(GMCVB} and the Greater Miami & Beaches Hotel Association (GMBHA) to request their
assistance with surveying existing hotels to determine the percentage of hotel guests
that drive automobiles. The GMCVB and GMBHA obtained responses to this question
from 14 hotels. The responses ranged from 10% to 30% guests with cars in South
Beach hotels and 30% to 50% guests with cars in mid-beach hotels (see attachment 2).
A review of parking requirements for hotels in other Florida cities and in other tourist
destination cities throughout the country show that most of them have a lower parking
requirement for the dense, walkable, urban districts than our current requirement of one
parking space per hotel room (1 :1 ). While the ITE Institute of Transportation Engineering
parking manual reflects a similar level of required parking as our existing code, this may
reflect a more suburban, auto oriented type of hotel and may be less appropriate for
Miami Beach. This theory is consistent with the other cities surveyed, which generally
have a 1:1 parking requirement for suburban areas and a lower parking requirement for
urban districts. The following table lists the minimum parking requirements for hotel
guest rooms in the walkable urban districts of each city surveyed.

Based upon the research conducted so far, the Planning Department is supportive of
reducing the hotel parking requirement to 1 space per 2 rooms as an incentive for good
hotel development. Staff does not recommend changing the current parking
requirements for ancillary facilities within hotels such as retail, restaurants, bars,
nightclubs, meeting rooms and ballrooms. Parking requirements for such uses have
already been discounted for a certain percentage of users being guests in the same
hoteL
The following is a list of proposed or potential hotel projects that Planning Department
staff has been working on or has been made aware of, along with comments describing
at what phase of the development process the project is at, and what is staff's
understanding of the impact of the passage of the proposed reduction of hotel parking
requirements might be on each project.
Please note that the City does not currently require pro forma business calculations as
part of the development review process, so the request for this information cannot be
provided.

fee in-lieu of parking can be quite high, with fees of over $1 million not uncommon. This
money goes into a special fund, used to finance parking garage construction by the City.
It can also be used for transportation related projects. The construction of new parking
garages in the South Beach area has already proceeded somewhat vigorously, with a
new garage becoming operational in Sunset Harbour and another garage being
proposed in the Collins Park area on 23rd Street. There may be little opportunity for
additional parking garage construction in South Beach in the near future; more parking
fee funds could, however, be directed towards alternative transportation projects.

Staff believes that incentivizing additional hotel room construction within appropriate
areas of the City would have a greater positive effect on the overall economic health of
the City than maintaining the status quo simply to retain maximum contributions to the
parking impact fee funds. Information from the Greater Miami Convention and Visitor's
Bureau (GMCVB) indicates that spending by visitors to hotels in Miami Beach is
approximately $621 per room/night, including room rate, transportation, entertainment,
meals and shopping. At an occupancy rate of 75.3%, this would translate into $170,000
in additional economic activity per year, and approximately $2,600 in additional resort
tax collections per year, for each additional hotel room added.
Quantifying the number of new hotel rooms that would result from passage of the
ordinance is difficult. While some of the projects listed above might go forward
regardless of the level of impact fees or parking requirements, others are more
speculative and might only be expected to proceed through to construction if the
reduction was approved. It should be noted that while some of the projects listed are
providing as much parking as possible on site, most sites located within historic districts
are unable to provide much, if any, on~site parking. In general, the nature of these
proposals are additions to existing hotels in historic districts, or development of new
hotels on problematic parcels of land that could not accommodate large numbers of
parked cars, and staff has been generally supportive of these types of developments,
especially when the focus is on hotel rooms rather than accessory commercial
restaurants and entertainment establishments.
The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to foster new hotel development. During the
course of discussion, it has become clear that this hotel development should occur
within areas of the City that are compatible with hotel development. It is not the intention
of the ordinance to incentivize hotel development in those areas where hotels are not
compatible. As such, the West Avenue Corridor and the South of Fifth Street areas
have been removed from the area of applicability. This would address the concerns of
residents and stakeholders who do not want to encourage additional tourism and hotel
development within established residential areas, while allowing such encouragement in
most of the rest of the City.
In response to concerns raised regarding the appropriateness of hotel uses in certain
zoning districts, staff has examined the proposed ratio of required spaces for hotels, as
well as different areas of the City that would realize the greatest benefit from the
proposed revised Ordinance. After removing the South of Fifth Street and West Avenue
neighborhoods from the reduced parking areas, staff concluded that the following areas
of the City, which are zoned Commercial, or Multi~fami!y Residential (RM~2 or RM-3),
were the most compatible for increased hotel development:
• Local Historic Districts
• National Register Historic Districts
• The North Beach resort area, generally bounded by 62nd Street and 73rd Street,
from Indian Creek to the Atlantic Ocean
Because these areas are the most compatible for expanded hotel development, staff
believes that the proposed ratio of .5 spaces per hotel unit would be appropriate.
However, for larger structures in excess of 100 hotel units, the ratio should be adjusted
upward, as the likelihood for increased vehicular trips rises with larger hotel
developments.
This revised proposal also takes into account the issue of hotel employee parking. Staff
has concluded that additions to existing hotel facilities should not result in the same
382
Commission Memorandum
Hotel Parking Requirements
January 16, 2013 Page 5 of 6
magnitude of new employees requiring parking as would a new hotel project on a vacant
lot. Incremental addition of rooms should be more easily absorbed by existing labor
corps, without the same reliance on hiring large numbers of new employees that new
construction of brand new hotels would.
As it pertains to the remaining multi-family and commercial areas of the City, staff
believes that these areas do not have the same compact, walkable attributes that the
above noted areas do, nor are they as oriented toward tourists/visitors. As such, staff
believes that hotel guests in the remaining multi-family and commercial areas of the City
would be more reliant on automobile transportation and that the parking space ratio
should be adjusted to . 75 spaces per unit, for the first 100 units. Planning Department
staff believes that a difference should be made between the compact historic areas
closely tied to tourism, and those areas that are more automobile oriented or more
oriented towards permanent residents.
The majority of the Planning Board did not reach the same conclusion as staff regarding
the different areas of the City, and recommended approval of a version of the proposed
that has the .5 ratio used City Wide (excluding the West Avenue and South of Fisth
Neighborhoods). The Planning Department has proposed an alternate version of the
Ordinance transmitted by the Planning Board, which includes the aforementioned .75
ratio.
On December 19, 2012, the Land Use and Development Committee considered the two
versions of the ordinance -the Planning Board recommended version and the Planning
Department recommended version. After a lengthy discussion, the Land Use Committee
could not reach a consensus on either version, and transmitted both versions to the full
City Commission for a final decision, without recommending either version.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
The subject Ordinance came before the Planning Board on July 24, 2012 and was
continued to a date certain of August 28, 2012 in order for more data to be submitted.
On August 28, 2012, the Ordinance was discussed and continued to the September 24,
2012 meeting. On September 24. 2012, the item was discussed and continued to a date
certain of October 30, 2012, in order for staff to propose specific districts that would
benefit from lower parking requirements.
On October 30, 2012, the majority of the Planning Board did not reach the same
conclusion as staff regarding the different areas of the City, and recommended approval
of a version of the proposed that has the .5 ratio used City Wide (excluding the West
Avenue and South of Fifth Neighborhoods). The Planning Department has proposed an
alternate version of the Ordinance transmitted by the Planning Board, which includes the
aforementioned . 75 ratio. The Planning Board {by a 5~2 vote) transmitted the Planning
Board version of the Ordinance Amendment to the City Commission with a favorable
recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT
In accordance with Charter Section 5.02, which requires that the "City of Miami Beach shall
consider the long term economic impact (at least 5 years) of proposed legislative actions,"
this shall confirm that the City Administration evaluated the long term economic impact {at
least 5 years) of this proposed legislative action.
The proposed ordinance, by reducing required parking for hotels in historic districts, will
reduce the receipts for fees in-lieu of parking, as many hotel projects in these districts must
resort to paying these fees when parking on site or nearby cannot be provided. Although the
amount of the reduction in impact fees to the City cannot accurately be pinpointed as this
383
Commission Memorandum

involves estimating future development levels, as the chart above indicates, some hotel
projects already underway would be affected, and the resulting impact to the City of forgoing
these payments would be approximately $2,5 million. For future projects, the impact cannot
be accurately assessed, as developers may or may not move forward projects depending on
all costs involved.
Balanced against the potential loss of parking impact fee revenue is the potential for
additional revenue from increased hotel development. which might be expected to include an
increase in resort tax receipts, and a general improvement In the property tax base and
income from permits and fees that may be associated with an increased level of new
proposed development.
As discussed above, increased hotel room construction within appropriate areas of the City
would be expected to have a positive effect on the overall economic health of the City, as
estimates indicate that spending by visitors to hotels in Miami Beach is approximately $621
per room/night, including room rate, transportation, entertainment, meals and shopping. At
an occupancy rate of 75.3%, this would translate into $170,000 in additional economic
activity per year, and approximately $2,600 in additional resort tax collections per year, for
each additional hotel room added.
CONCLUSION
Attached are two versions of the ordinance, the Planning Board's recommendation
which reduces parking to .5 spaces per hotel room citywide, and the Planning
Department staffs recommendation which applies the reduction to .5 spaces only to
historic districts and to North Beach areas targeted for encouraging hotel development
and . 75 spaces per hotel room outside of local historic Districts. Both versions exclude
the West Avenue residential corridor and south of Fifth Street.
As there has been increased concern voiced by residents about the appropriateness of
hotel development in traditionally residential areas, the Administration would not agree
with the Planning Board's recommendation. In addition given that the Land Use and
Development Committee did not specifically recommend either ordinance, if the
Commission wishes to proceed more conservatively, the Administration recommends
the Planning Staff's recommendations, however only applicable to additions and
redevelopment, but not to new construction. The Administration would recommend that
the City Commission approve either the Administration Recommendation alternative or
the Planning Staff's recommendation upon First Reading and set a Second Reading
Public Hearing for February 6, 2013.
