SUBJECT:
WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS FOR THE
MUNICIPAL PARING GARAGE AT 1025-1045 COLLINS
AVENUE.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission, upon
holding a public hearing, waive certain development regulations to
enable the construction of the municipal parking garage at 1025-
1045 Collins Avenue, as proposed.
BACKGROUND
The City is moving forward quickly in the design and construction
of parking structures to serve the Historic Architectural District.
On Collins Avenue alone, there are garage projects at varying
stages at 7th, 10th, 13th and 16th Streets. There are also garage
proj ects at Washington and Tenth Street and at 17th Street and
Convention Center Drive. The Ballet Valet garage project at 7th
Street is under construction and the expansion of the 13th Street
garage has been approved and will be out to bid soon. The garage
project at 16th Street which will serve the Convention Hotel
project, is now in the feasibility study stage.
The proposed garage project at 1025-1045 Collins Avenue received
Design Review Board approval on January 3, 1995. The project,
designed by the architectural firm of Arquitectonica, maximizes the
utilization of the site in order to provide much needed parking to
serve this area of the District. The setbacks, as proposed, are
consistent with nearby developments.

Given the urban context of the site, the waiver requests would also
permit a building which would be consistent with the scale and
character of the surrounding area.
REGULATION REQUIRED PROPOSED WAIVER
Floor Area Ratio 3.0 maximum 5.38 (as represented 2.38
allowed by the architect)
Building Height 50' max. height 55' to main roof deck 5 feet
(65' to top of stair
tower)
Front Setback 20' 0' 20'
Nonh Side Setback 22,S' 2' 20.5'
South Side Setback 22,5' 5' 17,5'
The proposed front setback, at zero feet (0'), is the same as the
building to its north. It is important to add that if this were a
structure less than 40' in height, with a front porch, the required
setback would also be zero feet (0'). The side setbacks, combined
with the setbacks of the existing buildings on either side of the
project, would effectively provide 10 feet separation between the
garage structure and said buildings. The 55 ft. height is five
feet higher than permitted, but would allow for 25 additional
spaces; importantly, this higher part of the structure is at the
rear of the property and should not be visible from the street.
The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) calculation is one that we continue to
confront with garages. If this were a mixed used project with
retail, residential or office as a component on several of the
floors, the project would meet the Zoning Ordinance's FAR
requirements.
The Commission, when it set the public hearing for this matter on
February 1, 1995, asked several questions as to what would happen
to the number of parking spaces in the proposed structure if the
project were redesigned under several different development
parameters, including aherance to all zoning regulations of the
surrounding MXE district. Attached hereto is a letter from RAMP
Associates that addresses each of these questions. Although the
garage structure could be designed with a fewer or reduced number
1:17
of development regulation waivers, these changes would result in a
garage structure with sUbstantially less parking spaces. It is
important to note that the Parking System has spent $60,850 to date
in design fees for this 231 space parking garage which is
anticipated to cost $2,840,000.
CONCLUSION
Pursuant to Section 6-12 B of zoning Ordinance No. 89-2665, the
Administration has concluded that the City commission should waive
the requested development regulations for this project, as
summarized above.
This will allow the project design to be completed by 4/15/95 with
bids to be received by 5/1/95. The agreement to purchase the
property from the Kay family includes a reverter clause which
requires certain steps to be achieved by May 16, 1995 or the seller
has the option to repurchase the land at the City's acquisition
cost of $428,000. Therefore the city must move forward on this
project as rapidly as possible.
