ADMINISTRATION REGOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
On December 12, 2012, the City Commission adopted an amendment to the Land
Development Regulations, establishing Parking District No. 5 in the Sunset Harbour
area, which reduced or eliminated required parking for small commercial businesses.
The subject ordinance also set lower thresholds for Neighborhood lmpact
Establishments (NlE), requiring Planning Board review of restaurants over 100 seats
and/or 125 persons occupancy (the current review threshold city wide is for 300 persons
or more occupancy). On June 5, 2013, the Commission adopted an amendment to
Parking District No. 5, which provided for parking reductions in certain types of 'live-
work' and residential parking uses.
At the time of adoption of the ordinance in 2012, the Commission included a 2 year
sunset provision and made a referral to the Land Use and Development Committee
(LUDC) to review the impact of the ordinance within eleven (11) months of its adoption.
On January 22,2014, staff presented a status report to the LUDC; the LUDC scheduled
another progress report in six (6) months, specifically to address the sunset provision of
the code.
On September 3, 2014, the LUDC recommended that the sunset provision for Parking
District 5 be removed from the code and that a progress report on the District be

provided within one year.
The sponsor for the subject legislation is Commissioner Joy Malakoff.
ANALYSIS
The reduction of parking requirements in the Sunset Harbour area was necessitated by
the extreme difficulty of actually providing parking on-site within this constrained
neighborhood. The policy of reducing parking requirements for small businesses was
warranted given that the Sunset Harbour garage is operational, which has provided
adequate infrastructure parking to support the surrounding neighborhood's burgeoning
growth of small, resident-oriented businesses.
The development of slightly larger projects is still required to provide parking; however,
these particular projects are permitted to pay a fee-in-lieu of providing parking on site.
Large developments in excess of 15,000 square feet continue to be required to provide
parking on-site or within 500 feet. The cutoff for the parking reduction is 3,500 square
feet per business, with a maximum aggregate of not more than 10,000 square feet of
total area for one building. Similar thresholds apply to restaurants.
The adopted ordinance included a 'sunset' clause for the reduced parking requirements,
which would apply to any new application submitted more than two (2) years after the
adoption of the ordinance. Specifically, Section 130-33(bX5) states that: "The parking
requirements in this subsection (b) shall only apply to projects that have obtained a
building permit or land use board approval by December 22,2014".
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On September 23,2014, the Planning Board (by a vote of 6-0) transmitted the proposed
Ordinance 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 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 a negative fiscal impact upon the City.
SUMMARY
On October 22,2014, the subject Ordinance was approved at First Reading.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.
