Vageline, Director Planning and Zoning Department November 16, 2010 ITEM No. auoject: An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami, Florida, to amend Section 20 -4.4 (D) of the Land Development Code entitled "Required Handicapped Spaces" in order to revise current wording to indicate that all required handicapped parking spaces are regulated by the Florida Building Code; providing for severability; providing for ordinances in conflict; and providing an effective date. BACKGROI7ND During its current review of the entire Land Development Code the Planning and Zoning Department staff has determined that certain provisions need immediate consideration due to legal problems, technical wording errors, or to respond to specific issues. It was recently brought to the attention of staff that certain provisions of the City's section on off - street handicapped parking spaces was not consistent with Chapter I 1 of the Florida Building Code (FBC). The FBC essentially supersedes local zoning regulations which govern handicapped parking spaces. The current LDC regulations governing parking lots are contained in Section 20 -4.4 (D). The standards are less strict and in conflict with those in the FBC as to the minimum number of spaces required and width of spaces. PROPOSED AMENDMENT The following amendment mandates that the handicapped parking space regulations in Chapter 11 of the FBC will be adhered to in South Miami. Attached is a copy of Chapter 11 Part A, Florida Building Code, Section 20 -4.4 Off street Parking Requirements (C) Dimensional Design Standards. (1) Standard non - handicapped parking spaces. All required off - street parking spaces shall be a minimum of nine (9) feet in width by eighteen (18) feet in depth, exclusive of access ways. (D) Required Handicapped Spaces.

Chapter 11, Fart A - INTRODUCTION [Send to printer I Save to computer] PART A INTRODUCTION In 1993 the Florida Legislature enacted the "Florida Americans with Disability Accessibility Implementation Act." The purpose and intent of this Act (Sections 553.501- 553.513, Florida Statutes) is to incorporate into the laws of Florida the accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Public Law No. 101 -336, 42 U.S.C. Section 12101 et. seq. ADA, while at the same time to maintain those provisions of Florida law that are more stringent than the ADA accessibility guidelines, that is, those provisions which are more favorable to the needs of the disabled. In 1997 the legislature amended the Act to complete the move to establish consistency of the Florida accessibility building code to the Federal ADA Accessibility Guidelines as adopted by the Department of Justice at 28 CFR part 36, Appendix A. Nothing in Section, 553.501 - 553.513 is intended to expand or diminish the defenses available to a place of public accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the federal Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines, including, but not limited to, the readily achievable standard, and the standards applicable to alterations to places of public accommodation. Accessibility is a multifaceted issue within the issues of life today. The legislative actions of the 101st Congress which implemented the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and previous acts of the Florida Legislature have been combined in the following pages to reflect accessibility laws as they relate to most areas of construction in Florida. Areas of employment as related to accessibility and/or complaints would be the responsibility of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 1-800-669-4000 or 305 -536 -4491. E -Codes Page 1 of 3 Chapter 11, Part A, Section 11-4,(1)(2) 11 -4.1.2 Accessible site and exterior facilities: new construction. This edition of the code does not apply to buildings, structures, or facilities which were either under construction or under contract for construction on October 1, 1997. Nothing in this code shall be construed to relieve the owner of any building, structure or facility from the duty to provide vertical accessibility to aI€ levels above and below the occupiable grade level, regardless of whether the code requires an elevator to be installed in such building, structure or facility, except: (1) elevator pits, elevator penthouses, mechanical rooms, piping or equipment catwalks, and automobile lubrication and maintenance pits and platforms; (2) unoccupiable spaces, such as rooms, enclosed spaces, and storage spaces that are not designed for human occupancy, for public accommodations, or for work areas; and (3) occupiable spaces and rooms that are not open to the public and that house no more than five persons including, but not limited to, equipment control rooms and projection booths. However as provided in Section 553.509, Florida Statutes, buildings, structures, and facilities must, at a minimum, comply with the requirements of the ADAAG. Therefore, facilities subject to the ADAAG may be required to provide vertical access to areas otherwise exempt under Section 11- 4.1.3(5) of this code. An accessible site shall meet the following minimum requirements: (1) At least one accessible route complying with Section 11 -4.3 shall be provided within the boundary of the site from public transportation stops, accessible parking spaces, passenger loading zones if provided, and public streets or sidewalks, to an accessible building entrance. (2) At least one accessible route complying with Section 1143 shall connect accessible buildings, accessible facilities, accessible elements, and accessible spaces that are on the same site. (3) All objects that protrude from surfaces or posts into circulation paths shall comply with Section 11 -4.4. (4) Ground surfaces along accessible routes and in accessible spaces shall comply with Section 11 -4.5. (5) Parking spaces: (a) If parking spaces are provided for self- parking by employees or visitors, or both, then accessible spaces complying with Section 11 -4.6 shall be provided in each such parking area. Such spaces shalt be designed and marked for exclusive use of those individuals who have a severe physical disability and have permanent or temporary mobility problems that substantially impair their ability to ambulate and who have been issued either a disabled parking permit under Section 316.1958 or 320.0848, Florida Statutes, or a license plate under Section 320.084, 320.0842, 320.0843,.or 320.0845, Florida Statutes.

Vageline, Director Re: LDC Amendment Handicapped Planning and Zoning Department Parking Revision Land Use Sec. 20- 4.4(D) Ps- z0 -0sx Applicant: City of South Miami An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami, Florida, to amend Section 20 -4.4 (D) of the Land Development Code entitled "Required Handicapped Spaces" in order to revise current wording to indicate that all required handicapped parking spaces are regulated by the Florida Building Code; providing for severability; providing for ordinances in conflict; and providing an effective date. BACKGROUND During its current review of the entire Land Development Code the Planning and Zoning Department staff has determined that certain provisions need immediate consideration due to legal problems, technical wording errors, or to respond to specific issues. It was recently brought to the attention of staff that certain provisions of the City's section on off-street handicapped parking spaces was not consistent with the Chapter 11 of the Florida Building Code (FBC). The FBC essentially supersedes local zoning regulations which govern handicapped parking spaces. The current LDC regulations governing parking lots are contained in Section 20 -4.4 (D). The standards are less strict and in conflict with those in the FBC as to the minimum number of spaces required and width of spaces. PROPOSED AMENDMENT The following amendment mandates that the handicapped parking space regulations in Chapter 11 of the FBC will be adhered to in South Miami. Attached is a copy of Chapter 11 Part A, Florida Building Code. Section 20 -4.4 Off street Parking Requirements (C) Dimensional Design ,Standards. (1) Standard non - handicapped parking spaces. All required off-street parking spaces shall be a minimum of nine (9) feet in width by eighteen (18) feet in depth, exclusive of access ways.

Roll Call Action: Chair Yates requested a roll call. Board members present constituting a quorum: Mrs. Yates, Mr. Cruz, Mrs. Young, Mr. Whitman and Mrs. Beckman. Board members absent: Mr. Farfan and Mr. Morton. City staff present: Thomas J. Vageline (Planning & Zoning Director), Sanford A. Youkilis (Planning & Zoning Consultant), Marcus Lightfoot (Permit Facilitator) and Lourdes Cabrera - Hernandez (Principal Planner). City Attorney: Mr. Mark Goldstein PB -10 -031 Applicant: City of South Miami An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami, Florida, to amend Section 20 -4.4 (D) of the Land Development Code entitled "Required Handicapped Spaces" in order to revise current wording to indicate that all required handicapped parking spaces are regulated by the Florida Building Code; providing for severability; providing for ordinances in conflict; and providing an effective date. Action: Mrs. Yates read the item into the record. Mr. Vageline informed the Board that the item is a section of the City Code that was being Planning Board Meeting September 23, 2010 Page 2 of 3 reviewed and it was discovered that the requirements in the City Code related to ADA handicap parking spaces do not match the Florida Building Code. The Florida Building Code now governs ADA'accessibility. There is also an old reference to the South Florida Building Code that no longer exists. Section 20 -4.4 Off street Parking Requirements (C) Dimensional Design Standards. (1) standard non - handicapped parking spaces. All required off - street parking spaces shall be a minimum of nine (9) feet in width by eighteen (18) feet in depth, exclusive of access ways. (D) Required Handicapped Spaces. With either of the above alternatives, off - street parking spaces for the physically handicapped or disabled shall be provided as required by the sooth Florida Building Code ( &FBC). (1) Handicapped spaces shall be a minimum of twelve (12) feet in width by eighteen (18) feet in depth, except for access ye aisles. (2) Signs or symbols indicating as required by &FBC Chapter 11 "` ` k-, ` parkia~ shall be required for each designated space. This is a basic clean up to make sure that the Land Development Code is up to date. Mr. Cruz questioned if chapter eleven is always related to handicap issues. Mr. Vageline responded yes. The Florida Building Code is updated from time to time and this will assure that the City Code remains in compliance. Mr. Cruz recommended leaving the minimum dimension or just refer to chapter 11. He recommends going one way or another. Mr. Vageline commented that it is important to point the people in the right direction, the dimensions could be more enforced, but the City is just writing the minimum that is suggested by the Florida Code. The Chair opened the public hearing. Speakers: NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE PROJECT Sharon McCain Oppose Ms. McCain questioned the dimensions that are currently in the code versus the new dimensions. She questioned the location of handicap. Mr. Vageline responded that Chapter 11 covers the location of the handicapped parking spaces, which is to be as close to the entrance as possible. Planning Board Meeting September 23, 2010 Page 3 of 3 Ms. McCain commented that there needs to be more handicapped spaces in the City of South Miami. The Chair closed the public hearing. Mr. Whitman questioned what access for access isle means. Mr. Vageline responded that the parking spaces that are ADA compliant are required to have an access isle next to them. The Florida Building Code requires for it to be five feet wide. Mr. Whitman suggested removing the word except, in addition spaces specified for access isle. Mr. Vageline recommended removing except for access isles, change number two to number three and the new number two would say access isles meeting Florida Building Code will be provided. Mrs. Young made a correction that all required handicapped parking spaces are regulated by the Florida Building Code in effect at the time. Motion: Mr. Whitman moved to amend Section D as suggested by Mr. Vageline to add another section referring to access isles and the word currently in effect.
