AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO AN AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
CODE BY MODIFYING SECTION 20- 4.4(I) AND REMOVING SECTION 20- 4.4(M) ENTITLED
"VALET PARKING PERMITS" IN ORDER TO PLACE THE SAME PROVISIONS IN
SECTION 15(C) OF THE SOUTH MIAMI CODE OF ORDINANCES; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT;, AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND: l;
The City Administration recently determined that .as .part of the current budget process that certain
adjustments in City fees will be needed. It was discovered. that the fees for the use of on- street metered
parking spaces as part of a valet parking operation are contained in Land Development Code (LDC)
Section. 20- 4.4(M) entitled "Valet Parking Permits" (see attached). This section also provides regulations
on applications, operational standards, fees, and violation fine schedule for valet parking permits. Any
changes to the operational standards or fees charged as set forth in LDC Section 20 -4.4 (M) would require
research by the Planning and Zoning Department and public hearings by the Planning Board.
In reality LDC Section 20 -4.4 (M) is an administrative procedure and is not related to land use, zoning or
development issues and therefore should be removed from the Land Development Code. This problem
was recognized several years ago by the Zoning Task Force and during the current LDC re -write being
conducted by staff.
STAFF OBSERVATION
The best solution to the problem is the removal of this section from the LDC and its placement in the
general chapters of the Code of Ordinances specifically as Section 15C to be entitled "Valet Parking
Permits for the Use of Public Property ". This can be done by the adoption of a LDC Amendment
ordinance removing the section and the simultaneous adoption by the City Commission of a separate
ordinance placing the section in its entirety into City Code as Section 15C. At that time the
Administration can adjust the fee schedule and make any other revisions felt necessary.
Please note that the attached draft ordinance also modifies LDC Section 20- 4.4(1). A revision is needed
because that section references the valet parking regulations. The reference will refer to the new City
Code Section ISC.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the attached draft ordinance amending the Land Development Code be approved.
