FOR THE MILLENNIUM WEEKEND OF DECEMBER 31,1999, ALLOWING FOR

ANALYSIS
The City of Miami Beach has experienced parking shortages during major events such as NFL Weekend 1999,
the Boat Show, Graphics of the Americas and the Auto Show. There are multiple events scheduled on Miami
Beach in celebration of the Millennium, and the Administration has determined that there will be a severe
parking shortage for the Millennium Weekend of December 31, 1999.
During Some weekends throughout the year, severe parking shortages lead to mobility problems and ultimately
gridlock on our City's roadway system. This fact was most recently experienced during NFL Weekend 1999.
The creation of additional parking opportunities for visitors to the City during high impact events, coupled with
an enhanced Electrowave circulator program, will alleviate the mobility problems and gridlock anticipated
during the multi-event weekend ofthe Millennium. The Administration has developed a list of vacant lots that
could be available for use during the Millennium Weekend to alleviate the severe parking shortage anticipated
Citywide. Many of these lots have been used successfully in the past to accommodate parking during high
impact events. The attached list is provided as an overview oflots recommended for use as either valet or self
parking during Millennium Weekend. It is anticipated that the operating hours for valet/self parking will be
from 6:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M., and hotel/employee parking will be 24 hours.
Afi:he City Commission meeting of October 20, 1999, the Mayor and Members of the City Commission
requested the city to review the proposed sites, reflect the anticipated use and hours and assure disturbance to
neighborhoods from operations in the proposed lots would be limited.
The Administration has amended the parking plan to eliminate the use of the "Beach Parcel" and to limit the
use of the St. Francis site parking garage for hotel employees only. The attached lot list defines the potential
uses and hours of operation of the proposed list of parking lots for approval for use during the Millennium
Weekend.
AGENDAITEM~
DATE~
The Mayor and City Commission should declare an emergency parking situation for the Millennium
Weekend of December 31, 1999 through January 2, 2000; and authorize the use of vacant surface lots
Citywide to be utilized for valet parking and self-parking. The Administration further requests that the
Mayor and City Commission authorize the Manager to require all parking operators to secure the
appropriate insurance and Occupational Licenses required by City Code to operate self-parking and/or valet
parking operation, but to not require that the lots be physically improved as required by code for use as
valet or self-parking lots during the Millennium Weekend.
