ADMIN ISTRATION REGOMMEN DATION The Administration recommends that the City Commission: 1) accept the recommendation of the Land Use and Development Committee via separate motion; and 2) approve the Ordinance at First Reading and schedule a Second Reading Public Hearing for June 11,2014. BACKGROUND On October 30, 2012, the Planning Board held a workshop discussion regarding potential initiatives for the North Beach area. At the conclusion of the discussion, the Planning Board recommended that the City Commission: '1 . Amend the Parking Ordinance to allow additions to contributing buildings in National Register districts to pay a one-time parking impact fee in the same manner as Local Historic Districts; and f the City FIRST READING 544 Commission Memorandum Nofth Beach Parking May 21 , 2014 Page 2 ol 3 2. Amend the Parking Ordinance to reduce parking requirements for additions to 'Contributing' buildings in National Register historic districts. On November 12, 2012, the City Commission referred a discussion item pertaining to these parking issues to the Land Use and Development Committee. On April 23, 2013, the Land Use Committee discussed the above noted items and directed staff to present these initiatives to the Transportation and Parking Committee (TPC) for their input. On May 6, 2013, the TPC reviewed the proposed parking ordinance for the National Register areas of North Beach. The TPC endorsed the concept behind the Ordinance, but stressed that it should not be applicable to those areas outside the boundaries of the National Register Districts, including the area of 'Biscayne Beach'. On October 23, 2013, the Land Use and Development Committee recommended that the subject Ordinance be referred to the Planning Board. On December 11, 2013, the City Commission referred the item to the Planning Board. ANALYSlS The subject Ordinance proposes to modify 2 separate sections of Chapter 130 of the City Code, pertaining to Off-Street parking. The first section addresses parking requirements for additions to contributing buildings located in National Register Districts in North Beach, and the second part proposes to expand the parking impact fee program to North Beach National Register Districts. The following is a summary of each section of the proposed Ordinance: Parkinq Requirement for Additlons to Contributinq Buildinqs Many of the contributing (historic) apartment buildings in the National Register Historic Districts in North Beach are built at slightly less than the maximum floor area allowed by the existing zoning (generally RM-1 , FAR 1.25). When owners consider the options of preservation vs. new construction, they generally seek to optimize the floor area and number of dwelling units or hotel rooms. lf they are inclined toward preservation, the parking requirement for additional units may be an obstacle, even with the ability to pay a fee in lieu of parking, as recommended below. Therefore, as a further incentive to preserve historic buildings in the National Register Districts in North Beach, the proposed Ordinance would allow small additions to be made with no parking requirement. Specifically, there would be no parking requirement for the existing structure and any addition, whether attached or detached, up to a maximum of 2,500 square feet. This incentive would only apply to an existing apartment and apartment-hotel building that is being substantially retained, preserved and restored; additionally, the existing building must be classified as 'Contributing', and located within a National Register historic district. Parkinq lmpact Fees Currently, the City Code allows payment of a fee in lieu of providing parking when additions, alterations or change of use result in an increased parking requirement, but only in the architectural district or locally designated historic districts. The proposed Ordinance would extend this same benefit to contributing buildings located in the North Beach National Register Historic Districts. The intent is to provide an incentive to preserve and rehabilitate historic MiMo buildings in North Beach, which currently has two National Register districts: North Shore and Normandy lsles. This would benefit development involving a change of use, alteration, rehabilitation or addition of a sidewalk cafe (options for one{ime fee or yearly fee) and development with construction of additional square footage (one-time fee only). lt should apply to both commercial and545 Commission Memorandum North Beach Parking May 21 , 2014 Page 3 ot 3 residential buildings provided that they are identified as "contributing" by the National Register, and provlded that the existing contributing structure is substantially retained, preserved and restored. PLANNING BOARD REVIEW On February 25, 2014, the Planning Board transmitted the proposed Ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation by a vote of 7 to 0. FISCAL IMPACT ln 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. SUMMARY The subject Ordinance addresses the relevant issues pertaining to parking requirements for additions to existing structures located in National Register Districts in the North Beach area. As an incentive to preserve historic buildings in the National Register Districts in North Beach, the proposed Ordinance would allow small additions (not to exceed 2,500 square feet) to an existing 'Contributing' building, with no parking requirement. Further, as is currently permitted in a local historic district, the Ordinance would also extend the benefit of allowing a payment of a fee in lieu of providing parking when additions, alterations or change of use result in an increased parking requirement to contributing buildings located in the North Beach National Register Historic Districts. The intent is to provlde an incentive to preserve and rehabilitate historic MiMo buildings in North Beach. GONCLUSION The Administration recommends that the City Commission:1) Accept the recommendation of the Land Use and Development Committee via separate motion; and 2) Approve the Ordinance at First Reading and schedule a Second Reading Public Hearing for June 11,2014.
