BACKGROUND
On October 22, 2014, the City Commission referred a discussion item to the Land Use
and Development Committee and the Planning Board (ltem R9D) to review building
parking requirements and height restrictions for the CCC District.
On November 5, 2014, the Land Use and Development Committee referred the item to
the Planning Board with a recommendation that hotels within the CCC District be given
flexibility to build up to 300 feet and with a parking requirement of 0.4 spaces per unit.
The sponsor of the Ordinance is Commissioner Michael Grieco.

ANALYSIS
Heiqht Reoulations
Under Section 142-365 of the Land Development Regulations, the maximum permitted
building height within the Civic and Convention Center (CCC) District is 1 1 stories / 100'.
While this limitation is suitable for convention center structures, as well as parking
structures, it does present some very significant limitations for larger hotel structures.
The proposed revisions to Section 142-365 of the Code would increase the allowable
height for Convention Center Hotels to 30 stories / 300'. lncluded in this report is a
massing study of a potential 300' hotel.
It is believed that the proposed modifications to the height limits of the CCC District for
hotels will give a potential developer, as well as the City's development review boards,
much needed design and planning flexibility to optimize the best possible location for a
hotel. Additionally, the increased heights will ensure that the scale, massing and overall
design of any potential hotel is distributed appropriately over what is likely to be a
smaller footprint, thus increasing the amount of open space on the site.
Parkino Reoulations
Under Section 130-32 of the Land Development Regulations, the required parking for
Convention Hotels ranges from 1 space per room for hotels under 250 rooms, 0.75
spaces per room for hotels between 250 and 499 rooms, and 0.5 spaces per room for
hotels over 500 rooms. ln addition there are parking requirements for accessory uses,
which may be reduced for each room that a hotel contains.
It is typical for many guests of convention hotels to arrive at the facilities using shuttle
buses, taxi cabs, or public transportation. Since the facility would be located very close
to several of Miami Beach's main attractions, it is unlikely that guests of a Convention
Center Hotel will need an automobile upon arrival. Since accessory uses are typically
utilized by guests of the hotel they typically do not generate the same parking demand
as if they were a standalone use. As a result of this information, it is believed that the
site can support a reduction to the parking requirement.
Attached to this report is an analysis of convention center hotels throughout the Country.
These hotels, inclusive of accessory uses, contain an average of 0.4 parking spaces per
unit. lt is suggested that this factor be adopted for convention hotels within the CCC
District in Miami Beach.
Additionally, under Section 130-32 of the Land Development Regulations, the required
parking for "auditorium, ballroom, convention hall, gymnasium, meeting rooms or other
similar places of assembly" is 1 space per 4 seats or 1 space per 60 square feet of floor
area available for seats. The refurbished convention center is proposed to contain
approximately 700,000 square feet. This current parking requirement would result in a
parking requirement of 11,666 parking spaces if considered a brand new use.
Guests of the renovated convention center are expected to arrive by shuttles, cabs, foot,
and public transit. Additionally, if a hotel is built within the CCC district, many more will
arrive on foot. The CCC District also contains several nearby public parking garages. As
a result, it is suggested that I parking space for every 1,000 square feet of usable space
be required. This would result in a requirement of approximately 700 parking spaces,
were the convention center considered a new use.
