DATE:
SUBJECT:
An Ordinance amending Section 20-7.12 of the City of South Miami Land
Development Code concerning parking requirements for restaurants within the
Hometown District Overlay (HD-OV) Zone.
BACKGROUND:
Following several recent applications for special use review for restaurants in the
Hometown District Overlay, the City Manager requested that the department look at a
possible amendment of the parking ratio calculation for restaurants within the district.
In calculating parking requirements, generic standards that apply to individual land-use
categories, such as residences, offices, shopping and dining are typically applied. The
most commonly used guidelines, issued by the Institute of Transportation Engineers in
the Parking Generation Handbook (ITE, 2004), are based on observations of peak
demand for parking at single-use developments in relatively low-density settings with
little transit (Shoup, 2005). In these locations that are used as models for determining
standard parking ratios, the destinations are widely separated, parking is typically free,
and walking, biking, and transit are generally not an option.
As a result, this methodology tends to assume that everyone has a car, everyone has to
drive to work, and everyone visiting a restaurant arrives by car. Under these conditions,
parking can take up more than 50 percent of the land used in a development. For more
compact, mixed-use, walkable places like South Miami's downtown district, these
standards can end up calling for far more parking than is needed.
Because these types of parking ratios are often borrowed from one jurisdiction to
another, they tend to be remarkably consistent across different cities. However, these
standards do not take into account the many highly local variables that influence
parking, such as density, demographics, availability of public transit, potential for biking
and walking, or the availability of other parking nearby. As a result, many communities
are evaluating parking issues as part of a broader process of reevaluating their overall
development patterns.
Proposed Parking Amendment

Page 2 of3
The City's parking ratio for restaurants currently requires 1 parking space per 100 gross
square feet of space. In the past staff has suggested that the ratio should be based on
numbers of seats, or net patron area, given that the goal of the district in part, is to:
Reduce commuter traffic demand on streets within the Hometown District to permit wider
sidewalks\'fn~d reduced traffic noise/ veloci~ and air pollution.
Use building~ arcades/ trees/ and modifications to street width~ curbs and sidewalks to create
a shaded" interesting and safe environment that works for pedestrians as well as for cars.
Emphasize the use of incentives such as reduced parking requirements and expedited permit
processing to achieve a balance of retail service/ offic~ and residential uses characteristic of
healthy town centers.
Implement a parking code that treats parking as an element of public infrastructure in an urban
center (instead of a private matter in a strip center) and that recognizes the shared parking
benefits of vertically mixed development· and the opportunities of an enhanced Metrorail
connection.
[South Miami lDC Section 20-7.2(A)(2)-(5)]
The proposed amendment would simply provide a variable parking requirement. One
based on patron use area [seating area], and a lesser parking requirement based on
non-patron use area. The proposed changes are as follows:
20-7.12 Permitted uses.
USE TYPE Unadjusted Parking Requirements:
1 parking space required per:
A. Storefront Uses
***
Restaurant, General or Walk Up* 100 SF devoted to patron use
300 SF devoted to non-natron use
***
As an example, under the current regulations of 1 space/100 GSF, a 4,000 square foot
restaurant with 1,500 square feet of patron seating area would require the provision of
40 total off-street parking spaces.
[~OOOGSF-7-100=40]
Under the proposed revision, the same restaurant would need to provide 15 parking
spaces for patron use and 8 parking spaces for non-patron use, for a total of 23 parking
off-street parking spaces.
Patron Use (seating) area: [1/500-7-l:(JO = 15] Non-Patron Use Area: [.0500-7-300 = 8]

CONCLUSION:
It is felt that in the context of a compact, mixed-use downtown environment with
access to alternate modes of transportation, and in keeping with the overall spirit of the
Hometown District Overlay, it is prudent to consider a more flexible calculation when
reviewing parking as a function of development. It is recommended that the City
Commission consider the adoption of the proposed parking revision.
Shoyld the Commission vote in the affirmative for the pr9posed change, those
businesses that currently pay into the HometQwnparking fund fQr" their parking
deficiencies, will be reevaluated prior to the issuance of their annual business
occupational license (BTR) for FY2015. There are currently 4 existing businesses and 2
that have not yet received their certificate of occupancy that fall into this category.
