TO 7:00 A.M.", TO "SUNDAY TO FRIDAY, 6:00 P.M. TO 7:00 A.M." ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Subject: Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS The City of Miami Beach Parking Department received petitions from residents ofthe Belle Isle neighborhood (Venetian Way and Island Avenue) requesting the establishment of restricted residential parking zone for their respective neighborhood in the summer of 2004. The residential parking process was initiated, which included a sparsely attended workshop; a lack of support through the balloting process (53% not in favor and 47% in favor); and a recommendation from the Transportation and Parking Committee to initiate the residential parking program process six (6) months thereafter during the winter season when resident occupancy on Belle Isle would be at its optimum as resident participation during the summer season was dismal. In January, 2005, at the request of Belle Isle residents via petition and the aforementioned recommendation of the City's Transportation and Parking Committee, the Parking Department initiated the restricted residential parking program process. The Belle Isle corridor is comprised predominantly of unregulated on-street parking spaces. Currently, the unregulated areas serve as parking for residents; however, the renovation of "The Standard" (formerly known as the Lido Spa) has prompted residents to initiate a proactive measure for restricted residential parking. The intrusion is expected to be generated from guests and visitors of "The Standard" as there is little or no off-street parking for this Belle Isle Public Hearing Commission Memorandum April 20, 2005 Page 2 of 4 property. "The Standard" has been a cooperative neighbor throughout the restricted residential parking program process and has developed a valet parking plan utilizing their private driveway for passenger loading and a valet parking operator to provide labor and vehicle storage. The aforementioned anticipated intrusion would potentially be generated by either guests or those visiting "The Standard" and parking in the existing unregulated spaces thereby displacing residents. A publicly noticed workshop was held with residents of the affected areas at 7:00 P.M. on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, at 20 Island Avenue. A total of 107 residents attended the workshop. This was a very high turnout of residents as residential parking workshops have historically generated very low attendance. Notification efforts included direct mail to all residents within 375 feet of the affected areas. Participants had an opportunity to review, comment, and provide input. Subsequently, a ballot process was conducted as over 1,100 notices and ballots were sent to residents within 375 feet of the affected areas, specifically seeking either an endorsement or non-endorsement of the program and advising that the City's TPC (Transportation and Parking Committee) would review this issue on Monday, March 7, 2005. The TPC reviewed the Administration's recommendation to establish a program for the neighborhood and endorsed the recommendation. The ballot questions were as follows: ( ) Yes, I do endorse implementing the Belle Isle Restricted Residential Parking Program. ( ) No, I do not endorse implementing the Belle Isle Restricted Residential Parking Program. Of the 1,100 ballots mailed to Belle Isle residents, 375 were received with the following results: Yes, I do endorse implementing the Belle Isle Restricted Residential Parking Program. 276 73.6% No, I do not endorse implementing the Belle Isle Restricted Residential Parking Program. Total: 99 26.4% 375 100% Therefore, pursuant to Article II, entitled, "Metered Parking", ofthe Miami Beach City Code, Chapter 106-78, entitled, "Creation of residential parking area", the Mayor and City Commission must hold a public hearing to consider the establishment of a residential zone for the Belle Isle Neighborhood. The following is a summary of the recommendations proposed for the Residential Parking Program for Zone 14/Belle Isle: Restricted Parkina Boundaries: South: North: East: West: Belle Isle/South Island Avenue Belle Isle/North Island Avenue Belle Isle/East Island Avenue Belle Isle/West Island Avenue Belle Isle Public Hearing Commission Memorandum April 20, 2005 Page 3 of 4 Restricted Parkina Hours: 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. Sunday to Friday and 24 hours Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays. Residential Parkina Permit Zone Fees: Annual Permit Fee*: Annual Visitor Hang-Tag*: Visitor "Scratch-Off' Hang-Tag: $50.00 (plus tax) per vehicle. $50,00 (plus tax) One (1) hang-tag per resident. 24 Hour hang-tag: $1.00 (plus sales tax) per hang-tag. Five (5) hang-tags may be purchased monthly up to six months in advance. Additional hang-tags are available for parties, social affairs, etc. Reauirements: Bona fide residents of the zone would be mailed a registration/decal purchase package. Each resident that wishes to park vehicle(s) in the restricted parking areas outlined above must register to participate in the "Belle Isle" Residential Parking Permit Program, Copies of the following documents would be required to register and purchase a decal/hang-tag for the zone: . Government Issued Photo Identification. . Proof of residency such as current (within last 30 days) utility bill (electric, gas, phone, etc.). . Valid vehicle registration** . Notes * All annualized fees may be prorated semi-annually. **Vehicle registration(s) with outstanding parking violations will not be allowed to participate in the residential parking program. All outstanding parking violations must be satisfied prior to participation. Commercial Parkina: A limited area for commercial parking is recommended in order to service the commercial parking demand in the area. This would include commercial loading, disabled parking, and a limited number of metered spaces. It is further recommended that these metered spaces be available to residential permit holders first-come/first-served during the days/hours ofthe residential parking restriction. Promulaation of Reaulations: Signs would be posted in the areas promulgating the appropriate restriction. Typically two to three signs per block face would be installed. Vehicles parking within these posted areas must display a valid residential parking decal, visitor hang-tag, or "scratch-off' hang-tag. Enforcement: Progressive enforcement would commence on an agreed upon date for a period of thirty (30) days in the form of warnings. This would graduate to the issuance of parking citations Belle Isle Public Hearing Commission Memorandum April 20, 2005 Page 4 0'4 for a period of thirty (30) days, and subsequently, vehicle impoundment may be necessary to properly enforce the parking regulations/restrictions. AMENDMENT TO RESIDENTIAL PARKING ZONES An amendment to the resolutions establishing Residential Parking Permit Zones One (South Pointe), Two (Flamingo Park), Three (Michigan Avenue), Four (Cultural District), Eleven (Lake Pancoast), and Twelve (Upper West Avenue) is needed to include the hours of 12:01 AM. Midnight to 7:00 A.M. on Mondays. Clearly, the intent during the creation ofthe above mentioned residential parking zones was to include these hours; therefore, the Administration recommends that the language "Monday to Friday from 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 AM." be amended to state "Sunday to Friday from 6:00 P.M, to 7:00 AM." in order to include Mondays from 12:01 AM. Midnight to 7:00 AM. CONCLUSION The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve a resolution to create Restricted Residential Parking Permit Zone 14 for the Belle Isle neighborhood, as described herein; and amend residential parking zones One (South Pointe), Two (Flamingo Park), Three (Michigan Avenue), Four (Cultural District), Eleven (Lake Pancoast), and Twelve (Upper West Avenue) to include Mondays from 12:01 A.M. (Midnight) to 7:00 AM.
