FROM:Genaro “Chip” Iglesias,City Manager
DATE:April 1, 2024
SUBJECT:Changes to City of South Miami Parking Schedule of Fees to allow for overnight
parking at the South Miami Parking Garage and making modifications to the
existing Monthly and Annual Parking Permits.
RECOMMENDATION:Approve the City of South Miami Parking Schedule of Fees to allow for
overnight parking at the South Miami Parking Garage and making
modifications to the existing Monthly and Annual Parking Permits.
BACKGROUND:On March 18, 2025, the City of South Miami Mayor and Commission
approved, on first reading, an ordinance amending Section 15A-18 –
Controlled Parking Residential Zones. The Mayor and Commission will
review and potentially adopt the ordinance at its second and final hearing
on April 1, 2025.
The resolution incorporates specific provisions of the amended code,
including establishing a monthly rate for the South Miami Parking Garage
Monthly 24-Hour Overnight Permit and the South Miami Parking Garage
Monthly Roof Overnight Permit. The amendment also eliminates the very
costly Annual Residential Parking Visitor decal and updates language in the
Annual Residential Parking Permit regulations and introduces a Permit
Processing Fee.
Based on the comments made from the Commission at the last regular
Commission Meeting, the current rates and community input, the City
proposes revising the parking fee schedule to include the following:
