INTER- OFFICE MEMORANDUM 2001
To: The Honorable Mayor Feliu and Members of the City Commission
Via- Ajibola Salogun, City Manager f
From: Ricardo Soto -Lopez MUP, Planning Director
Date: October 21, 2008
ITEM No.
BACKGROUND
The Land Development Code (LDC) contains Section. 20- 4.4(I) "Valet Parking via Special Parking Permits"
which permits retail establishments, hotels, offices, restaurants and nightclubs to request that up to 50% of its
required off - street parking to be satisfied by use of valet parking. If approved by the City Commission (4/5 vote) a
business may reduce its on -site required parking by parking cars in a private lot or garage or parking cars on street.
Recently City Commissioner Beckman submitted a statement to the Planning Department requesting consideration
of an amendment to the LDC to eliminate the portion of this section which allows for required parking to be
reduced if a valet parking system is implemented. The Commissioner felt that the reduction in parking is too high
and that the City has difficulty policing the valet parking system service. The proposal does not eliminate a business
from providing a valet parking service, only the provision that allows for a reduction in the required off - street
parking.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
The specific regulation allowing up to 50% of required parking to be satisfied by valet parking was part of an
overall program of parking reductions and bonuses adopted on November 1, 1994 by Ordinance 17 -94 -1567
(attached). Most of these provisions (including Joint Use, Metro -Rail Usage) were under moratorium for several
years and only last month were permanently removed by ordinance from the Land Development Code.
STAFF OBSERVATION
The Planning Department has no problem with the proposed removal of reduced parking requirements based on
providing valet parking. Commissioner Beckman is correct that it is very difficult for the City to consistently
monitor a business to make sure that the valet parking service is provided. In addition, the City recently adopted a
major amendment to the Land Development Code which will allow for required parking space reductions for mixed
use development and for payment into a special fund in lieu of providing required parking. These provisions
provide a better system for keeping tract of parking reductions.
The current proposal (see attached draft ordinance) makes minor technical amendments to Section 20- 4.4(I)
"Valet Parking via Special Parking Permits " including the elimination of the 50% parking reduction provision.

Action: The meeting was called to order at 7:48P.M.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited in unison.
II. Roll Call
Action: Chairman Morton requested a roll call. Board members present constituting a quorum:
Mr. Morton, Ms. Yates, Mr. Farfan, Mr. Cruz, and Ms. Chael. Absent: Mr. Comendeiro and Ms.

City staff present: Ricardo Soto - Lopez, (Planning Director), and Sanford A. Youkilis (Consultant),

111. Planning Board Applications/Public Hearing
Mr. Farfan read the item into the record.
Action: Mr. Youkilis advised that Section. 20- 4.4(1) "Valet Parking via Special Parking Permits"
Land Development Code (LDC) permits retail establishments, hotels, offices, restaurants and
nightclubs to request that up to 50% of its required off - street parking to be satisfied by use of valet
parking. If approved by the City Commission (4/5 vote) a business may reduce its on -site required
parking by parking cars in a private lot or garage or parking cars on street. Recently City

parking is too high and that the City has difficulty policing the valet parking system service. His
proposal does not eliminate a business from providing a valet parking service, only the provision
that allows for a reduction in the required off - street parking. Mr. Youkilis advised that it is very

difficult for the City to consistently monitor a business to make sure that the valet parking service
is provided. In addition, the City recently adopted a major amendment to the Land Development
Code which will allow for required parking space reductions for mixed use development and for
payment into a special fund in lieu of providing required parking. These provisions provide
a better system for keeping tract of parking reductions therefore, it was recommended by
staff that the proposed amendment to Section 20- 4.4(I) be approved.
Mr. Morton recommended inserting a distance requirement in order to provide a buffer. Mr.
Youkilis replied that there will be no need for a buffer because valet parking is not allowed
adjacent to residential districts.
Ms. Chael stated she does not believe that there should be an objection to valet parking. She then
questioned if the City receives revenue from the parking fees. The parking fund does not guarantee
a physical space but valet parking not only guarantees a physical space but its supply is very
efficient in satisfying the physical need in this free market system. She would be afraid of valet
parking only if the City did not benefit. Ms. Chael believed that the form in which the current
ordinance is in place works well and therefore should not be amended. Mr. Youkilis corrected a
previous statement; he noted that the City does receive revenue from valet parking by renting
meters to the individuals with a valet parking occupational license. Mr. Youkilis further added that
this amendment is only removing 50% reduction of the required parking if the applicant states that
there will be parking.
Mr. Cruz questioned why valet parking was considered a grandfathered use. He also stated that
part of the problem with valet parking was that there was no exact location of where the vehicles
will be parked. Mr. Youkilis replied that an occupational license must be issued prior to the text
amendment being adopted in order to be considered a grandfathered use. Mr. Youkilis also advised
that when an occupational license is applied for the applicant must indicate where the vehicles will
be parked.
Ms. Yates questioned if there was language in the LDC indicating the amount of metered parking
spaces that could be allotted to public parking and to valet parking. She questioned if the City
maintained a log indicating the availability of public parking spaces. Mr. Youkilis replied that there
was no guideline for the amount of required public spaces. He also stated that the amount of
metered spaces that are rented to an applicant was left to the discretion of the City's Parking
Manager. In response to whether or not the City maintained a log indicating the availability of
public spaces, Mr. Youkilis responded in the affirmative.
Mr. Cruz stated that the purpose of the City's municipal garage was to provide for additional
parking. However it seems as if the municipal garage is being used for private use such as valet
parking. He stated that the entire fourth floor on the City's garage is dedicated to valet. Mr. Cruz
finds no need for valet parking when considering the amount of time it takes (30 minutes) for
someone to get their car from the valet lot.
Motion: Ms. Yates moved to approve the, text amendment to Section 20- 4.4(I) of the LDC as
recommended by staff. Mr. Cruz seconded.
Vote: 4 Ayes 1 Nay (Ms. Chael)

Supp. No. 8 J6.10
Parking Board Meeting for September 19, 2008
Board Members in attendance constituting a quorum: Michael Miller, Al Elias, Kenny
Merker, Eddie Berrones
Previous Minutes from July 11th are approved.
The board discusses two technical amendments to the land development codes
related to parking that have been initiated by a commissioner.
a. The first amendment relates to a section of the code which allows a
parking garage built in RO (Residential Office) zones as long as they are
next to MO (Medium Office) zones. The planning board is recommending
that this section be removed because there are no RO zones that are next
to MO zones. Motion is passed and all are in favor to remove the section.
b. The second amendment relates to valet parking. The text says "up to 50%
of the parking requirement... may be satisfied through the provision of
valet parking." Commissioner Beckman is asking that the section be
removed. Instead, valet parking would be allowed according to other
provisions, but that it can not be counted as a reduction to the required
parking. Motion is passed and all are in favor of removing the section.
II. The board discusses appointing one of its members to the land development
code task force. The board appoints Al Elias and Michael Miller to equally
represent the parking board at the land development task force meeting provided
that they share the information between them at each meeting.
III. The board discusses currently submitted petitions for residential decal parking,
including one for 5864 SW 74th Terrace. They decide that the board members will
review the applications already in the system and submit recommendations.
However, before any future applications are reviewed and decided upon, the
board decides to evaluate the current criteria for residential decal parking and
agree upon those conditions.
IV. Al Elias recommends that the board aim to resolve the residential decal parking
issue as quickly as possible so that they may turn their attention to other parking
issues in South Miami.
V. Michael Miller suggests that maps of available parking throughout the city be
provided to the residents and visitors to the city through publishing in the local
newspapers and leaflets available at parking garages and the Sunset Place mall.
VI. New centralized parking meters were discussed and it was said that it might be a
year before a decision is made and the meters become available. Motion is
passed to recommend that the commission move forward on a decision
regarding these meters.
VII. Meeting is adjourned.
