R5G-Amend Subpart A - General Ordinances Ch 106 - Traffic And Vehicles -GriecoCOMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
An Ordinance amending Chapter 106, "Traffic and Vehicles" Article ll, entitled "Metered Parking"; creating
Division 3, entitled, "Construction Parking and Traffic Management Plan"; providing for codification,
and an effective date
lntended Outcome Su
Commission a Comprehensive Mobility Plan Which Gives Priority Recommendations (From Non-
Vehicular to Vehicular and lncludinq Parkinq).
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmenta! Scan, etc.l:74o/o of residents and72o/o of businesses rate
the availability of parking across the City as too little or much too little. Availability of parking was one of the
changes residents identified to Make Miami Beach better to live, work or plav.
Item Summary/Recommendation :
There are areas of the city with concentrations of construction activity and related construction employee
vehicles parking for extended periods usurping parking availability all day at on-street parking spaces and
municipal parking lots. The presence of these vehicles has caused reduced parking availability, vehicular
traffic congestion on commercial and residential streets, impedes the movement of traffic, and unduly
restricts access to patrons and visitors to commercial areas and residents and their visitors to their homes.
On December 10, 2014, lhe Land Use and Development Committee (LUDC) endorsed the proposed
ordinance and directed the Administration to further analyze the $100,000 construction value threshold
requiring a Construction Parking Plan and recommended the proposed ordinance to the Mayor and City
Commission. Other communities with similar challenges, including Los Altos, and Pasadena, California,
have regulated construction parking and require a Construction Management Plan (CMP). To this end, the
City Attorney's Office and Administration, including representatives from the City Manager's Office, Building
Department, Code Compliance, Planning Department, and Parking Department have collaborated and
drafted a proposed ordinance requiring all construction projects with, a value to be determined, have an
approved Construction Management Plan (CMP) in order to obtain a building and/or grading and shoring
permit. The Administration recommends the City Commission: 1) accept the recommendation of the
LUDC via separate motion; and 2) approve the attached Ordinance at First Reading and schedule a
Second Public for Februarv 11,2015.

CMP: 1. Alternative One - Threshold Value of $100,000+: This analysis is based on 835 annual building
permits with related CMPs. Revenues generated by this program are estimated to be $120,000 in permit
fees and $205,000 in fine revenues, for total annual revenues of $325,000 and $1,625,000 over five years.
lf the program is successful, fine revenues should decline over time. Expenses for the permitting, review,
and analysis (Engineering Assistant lll - (2) FTE) is estimated at $172,000 (includes capital expense for
vehicles in year one), annually and $692,000 over five years. The expense for Code Enforcement (Code
Compliance Officer - (2) FTE) is estimated at $160,000 (includes capital expense for vehicles in year one),
annually and $632,000 over five years. This equates to a total annual expense (Year One) of $332,000 and
$1 ,324,000 over five years. 2. Alternative Two - Threshold Value of $250,000+: This analysis is based
on 392 annual building permits with related CMPs. Revenues generated by this program are estimated to
be $56,500 in permit fees and $102,500 in fine revenues, for total annual revenues of $159,000 and
$795,000 over five years. However, if the program is successful, fine revenues should decline over time.
Expenses for the permitting, review, and analysis (Engineering Assistant lll - (1) FTE) is estimated at
$86,000 (includes capital expense for vehicles in year one), annually and $346,000 over five years. The
expense for Code Enforcement (Code Compliance Officer - (1) FTE) is estimated at $80,000 (includes

ANALYS!S
Other communities with similar challenges, including Los Altos, and Pasadena, California,

commercial and residential areas.
To this end, the City Attorney's Otfice and Administration, including representatives from the
City Manager's Office, Building Department, Code Compliance, Planning Department, and
Parking Department have collaborated and drafted a proposed ordinance requiring all
construction projects with a value of $100,000 or higher have an approved Construction
Management Plan (CMP) in order to obtain a building and/or grading and shoring permit.
Construction Management Plan (CMP)
ln order to maintain a Building Permit and/or Grading and Shoring Permit, in good standing,
for all projects with a value to be determined (see analysis below), an approved CMP is
required. The CMP shall minimize construction employee vehicle parking impacts to the
surrounding neighborhood (commercial or residential) and adjacent properties and their
occupants. The CMP must:
o Reduce construction employee vehicle parking impacts related to the proposed
construction;. Contain construction related parking to project site and areas approved by the City;o Reduce construction noise impacts to the greatest extent technically and
economically feasible; ando Minimize off-site dust and air quality impacts per best management practices.
Definitions:
The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this division, shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different
meaning:
. Commercial area means a contiguous or nearly contiguous area containing public

Commercial area shall contain at least half a City block bordered by three public
streets, and, if there is an alleyway, also by the alleyway.o Construction Employee Vehicle (CEV) means a motorvehicle operated in or parked
by an employee, or subcontractor of a construction contractor for extended periods
of the day, which result in an impact on the community as identified below as a
CEVPI.o Construction Employee Vehicle Parking lmpact (CEVPI) means:
- Municipal (on and off-street) parking spaces are limited in quantities
and for extended periods of the day factually occupied Monday
through Saturday, of any month by construction employee, contractor
or subcontractor vehicles; and

Construction Value Thresholds:
The chart below illustrates the volume of building permits at varying construction value
thresholds issued in FY 2013/14. There were a total of 1 ,766 building permits which would
be applicable to the proposed ordinance, commencing with a $100,000 construction value
threshold (CVT). The $100,000 CVT includes residential projects which have sufficient
construction activities that adversely impact residential neighborhood parking. Please note
as the thresholds below increase in value, the quantities of residential projects transitions to
commercial projects.

FISCAL IMPACT
The two (2) alternatives below are based on threshold levels for requiring a CMP and their
related fiscal impacts:
1. Alternative One - Threshold Value of $100,000+:
This analysis is based on permitting, including: processing, review, inspection, and
enforcement of 835 annual building permits with related CMPs.
Revenues generated by this program are estimated to be $120,000 in permit fees and
$205,000 in fine revenues, for total annual revenues of $325,000 and $1 ,625,000 over five
years. However, if the program is successful, fine revenues should decline over time.
Expenses for the permitting, review, and analysis (Engineering Assistant lll - (2) FTE) is
estimated at $172,000 (includes capital expense for vehicles in year one), annually and
$692,000 over five years. The expense for Code Enforcement (Code Compliance Officer -(2) FTE) is estimated at $160,000 (includes capital expense for vehicles in year one),
annually and $632,000 over five years. This equates to a total annual expense (Year One) of
$332,000 and $1 ,324,000 over five years.
