Morales, City Manager DATE: February 12, 2014 SECOND READING SUBJECT: Mechanical Parking Systems AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE CITY CODE BY AMENDING CHAPTER 130 "OFF- STREET PARKING," ARTICLE 11 "DISTRICTS, REQUIREMENTS," SECTION 130-38, "MECHANICAL AND ROBOTIC PARKING SYSTEMS," BY MODIFYING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR MECHANICAL PARKING DEVICES AND ROBOTIC PARKING SYSTEMS; PROVIDING FOR REPEALER; CODIFICATION; SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Ordinance. HISTORY At the January 18, 2012 Land Use Committee Meeting, staff was directed to prepare an Ordinance regarding the intensity of mechanical parking systems. The proposed Ordinance was referred to the Planning Board by the Land Use Committee on December 19, 2012 and by the City Commission on February 6, 2013. BACKGROUND In 2008, the City Commission adopted an Ordinance creating regulations, standards and procedures for the use of 'Mechanical Parking Systems'. Over the years, with the availability of land for conventional parking structures becoming less prevalent, more interest has been shown in the use of mechanical parking lifts or robotic type parking systems within parking garages in Miami Beach. Prior to the approval of this Ordiannce, a number of parking workshops were held. One of the chief concerns during these workshops, was the potential of overdevelopment that could result from the use of such mechanical parking systems. The Planning Department has had an ongoing concern regarding the increased density and intensity of development that could occur when parking lifts are used to satisfy the parking requirements for new developments, as the use of lifts can double or triple the amount of dwelling units or commercial floor area of a new development. Often, it is the parking requirement that is the limiting factor on new development, where a certain FAR or maximum building height could not be reached without the ability to provide the requisite number of parking spaces. The Department's concern has been 547 Commission Memorandum Ordinance.· Mechanical Parking Systems February 12, 2014 Page 2 of 4 that through the use of parking lifts to satisfy parking requirements for new construction, great increases in density and intensity could result. ANALYSIS The proposed revisions to Section 130-38, pertaining to mechanical and robotic parking systems, address two specific issues that have arisen since the original adoption of the Ordinance in 2008. The first issue deals with the use of subterranean parking in conventional, schematic parking diagrams. The second deals with the amount of accessory commercial space required for stand alone mechanical garages. The existing mechanical parking systems Ordinance permits the use of mechanical parking to satisfy off street parking requirements if it does not increase the density and/or intensity of a development project over and above what could have been realized through conventional parking. In order to address this, the existing Ordinance requires that any proposed use of mechanical parking systems to satisfy off-street parking requirements must include two (2) separate schematic floor plans as part of the site plan review process by the applicable land use board. The first set of schematic plans must meet the minimum requirements and design standards of the city code for off street parking, with the total number of parking spaces shown on the plans. The second set of schematic plans must show how the proposed development project would utilize a mechanical parking system to satisfy accessory off-street parking requirements. Attached are illustrations of the parking plans for recently approved development projects at 120 Ocean Drive and 321 Ocean Drive, which have proposed mechanical parking systems and used above grade conventional plans. Both of these projects demonstrate tangible reductions in massing with the use of mechanical parking systems. The purpose of requiring these 2 schematic drawings is to ensure that a property is not over developed by substantiating that required parking can be provided in a conventional manner. Under current code, there are no restrictions or limitations on the use of below grade parking spaces in the first set of schematic plans noted above. However, the use of below grade parking has the potential to artificially inflate the actual ability to provide required off street parking in a conventional manner, as required by the first set of schematic plans. The reason for this is that the practicality of providing one or more sub grade parking levels is highly questionable from a cost feasibility stand point. Attached are illustrations of the parking plans for the Palau Project at 1201-1237 20th Street and the Extended Stay Hotel at 1231 17th Street. Both of these projects have proposed mechanical parking systems that use below grade parking levels as part of their conventional parking schematics. The actual bulk and mass of the parking pedestals has not increased with the use of mechanical parking systems, but only because the projects propose to relocate parking that would otherwise have to be located below grade. If some of this parking proposed to be located below grade was required to remain below grade, the bulk of the parking pedestal could have been reduced. In order to address this issue, the proposed Ordinance would allow the first set of schematic plans to include one level of below grade parking spaces, provided such below grade spaces are within the confines of the subject development site, and are not located below City property, adjacent private property that is not part of the development site or any rights-of-way. Additionally, if the first set of schematic plans includes one level of below grade parking spaces, at least 50% of the proposed mechanical system parking spaces must be located below grade. 548 Commission Memorandum Ordinance: Mechanical Parking Systems February 12, 2014 Page 3 of 4 As it pertains to the issue of accessory uses, currently, parking spaces within commercral main use parking garages utilizing mechanical parking may be used to satisfy off street parking requirements for residential or commercial uses required by the Code for activating the first floor and for the claddlng of the garage. In order to ensure that the main use of these structures remains a 'main use parking garage', the proposed Ordinance would place limitations on the intensity of these ancillary uses. Specifically, any accessory use within commercial main use parking garages utilizing mechanical parking would not be able to generate an off-street parking requirement in excess of 25% of the total number of spaces in the garage. Staff has also proposed minor text changes pertaining to the review and applicability of mechanical parking systems. These text changes are non-susbstantive and simply clarify that all proposals for a mechanical parking system are subject to the review and approval of the Planning Board. In addition to the proposed revisions drafted by Planning Department Staff, the Planning Board recommended the following modifications, which have been incorporated into the draft Ordinance: • Section 130-38 (5)(h) of the proposed Ordinance was updated by specifying that the findings of the required yearly inspection be summarized in a report signed by a licensed mechanical engineer and that such report be furnished to the Planning Director and the Building Official. The Building Official, via all applicable disciplines (eg, mechanical and electrical} will be able to substantiate the findings of the reports. • Further refinements to Section 130-38 (5)(h) of the proposed Ordinance regarding the inspection process, as well as a requirement for 'load bearing' lift platforms, have been incorporated. Collectively, staff believes that the proposed modifications are fully consistent with the original intent of the ordinance, and are needed in order to ensure that the use of mechanical parking systems is not abused, and does not result in the artificial intensification of a development site. PLANNING BOARD REVIEW The subject Ordinance was first scheduled to be considered by the Planning Board on February 26, 2013, but was continued to a date certain of April 3, 2013, due to the length of the Board agenda. On April 3, 2013 the Board discussed the Ordinance and continued the matter to May 28, 2013, in order for the Ordinance to be revised. On May 28, 2013, the matter was continued to a date certain of September 24, 2013, in order to incorporate further refinements to the Ordinance, as well as provide additional documentation demonstrating reductions in massing with mechanical parking systems. The Planning Board reviewed the proposed Ordinance on September 24, 2013, and recommended approval by a vote of 6 to 0. 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 is not expected to have any tangible fiscal impact. 549 Commission Memorandum Ordinance.· Mechanical Parking Systems February 12, 2014 SUMMARY Page 4 of 4 On January 15, 2014, the City Commission approved the Ordinance at First Reading and scheduled a Second Reading Public Hearing for February 12, 2014. Minor modifications to the Ordinance, recommended by the Administration, were included as part of the approval at First Reading; these changes were suggested as they overlap, and could potentially conflict with, current and future building code requirements and industry standards. The modifications have been included in the Ordinance for Second Reading and are indicated by a sei.i81e stril<e tl¥1;1. CONCLUSION The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.

WHEREAS, the regulations governing off-street parking spaces contained in Chapter 130 of the City Code, Sections 130-61 through 130-65 of Article II "Design Standards" delineate the requirements for parking space dimensions and layout; and WHEREAS, mechanical and robotic parking systems are intended to be used within parking garages in order to increase parking capacity in Miami Beach and to provide a more suitable method of providing required parking without increasing the intensity of a development project; and WHEREAS, the City Commission is concerned that the current requirements of the City's mechanical parking systems Ordinance have increased the density and intensity of certain types of development within the City; and WHEREAS, The City seeks to modify the requirements for mechanical and robotic parking systems so that off-street parking requirements may be satisfied in a more appropriate manner as they pertain to the scale, mass, bulk and design of the parking structure, without increasing the intensity of a development project. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA: SECTION 1. That Chapter 130, Off-Street Parking, Article 11, "Districts, Requirements," Section 130-38 entitled "Mechanical And Robotic Parking Systems" is hereby amended as follows: Sec. 130-38. Mechanical and Robotic Parking Systems. * * * (3) Exceptions to the mechanical parking prohibition may be perffiitted considered by the planning board, pursuant to the conditional use process in chapter 118, article IV of the City Code, if the proposed project meets the following conditions: a) Commercial main use parking garages on a separate lot. 565 i) Commercial main use parking garages, open to the public, may utilize mechanical parking devices, robotic parking systems and/or vehicle elevators, subject to all other provisions of Section 130-68. ii) Parking spaces within commercial main use parking garages utilizing mechanical parking may be used to satisfy off street parking requirements for residential or commercial uses required within the building by Section 130-68 for the cladding of such garages, as may be required by the design review procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing. any accessory commercial use within commercial main use parking garages utilizing mechanical parking shall not generate an off- street parking requirement ln excess of 25% of the total number of spaces in the garage. * * * c) Projects proposing to use mechanical parking devices, robotic parking systems and/or vehicle elevators to satisfy accessory and main use off-street parking requirements. i. Projects proposing to use mechanical parking devices, robotic parking systems and/or vehicle elevators to satisfy accessory and main use off-street parking requirements shall prepare schematic floor plans prior to site plan review by the applicable land use board. Two sets of schematic floor plans shall be required: 1 . One set of schematic plans sufficient to show the proposed development project with accessory and main use off-street parking requirements satisfied by traditional, non-mechanical means, meeting all aspects of the design standards for parking spaces required in Article Ill of Chapter 130, and other provisions of these land development regulations, and requiring no variances from these provisions; and, 2. A second set of schematic plans, sufficient to show the same proposed development project, utilizing mechanical parking devices, robotic parking systems and/or vehicle elevators to satisfy accessory and main use off-street parking requirements. The first set of schematic plans shall be reviewed by Planning Department staff for zoning compliance prior to the site plan review hearing by the applicable land use board. This first set of schematic plans may include one level of below grade parking spaces. provided such below grade spaces are within the confines of the subject development site and are not located below City property. adjacent private property that is not part of the development site or any rights-of-way. If it is determined that these schematic plans meet the requirements of the design standards of the city code, then the total number of parking spaces shown on the plans shall be noted. Henceforth, the project may proceed to site plan approval based on the second set of plans, using mechanical parking.
