BACKGROUND
The City Commission at its May 4, 1999 meeting adopted a limited parking moratorium ordinance

extended by 30 day emergency ordinances adopted by the City Commission. The last emergency
ordinance adopted is effective until June 20, 2008. The emergency ordinance may need to be
adopted one more time, if the final ordinance dealing with the parking reduction /bonus issue is not
adopted on June 10, 2008.
The Parking Moratorium Ordinance which permanently removes all of the sections currently
modified or under suspension was approved on first reading by the City Commission at its May 6,
2008 meeting. At that time it was agreed that a public workshop should be held in order to put
together all of the revisions and changes which had been suggested by the City's various Boards
and committees.
CITY COMMISSION ACTION
The City Commission conducted a workshop on May 15, 2008, at which time Commission
members and a number of citizens present agreed that certain parking bonuses should be moved
and that others should be modified. The Administration has prepared a revised "Parking
Moratorium Amendment" decision chart (l l x 17 ") which contains the approved first reading
ordinance in the left column and the proposed revisions originating from the workshop in the right
2
column. The following is a summary of the suggested changes to be incorporated in the parking
amendment ordinance:
(a) it was agreed at the workshop the Joint Use Spaces reduction bonus (LDC 20-
4.4(G) and the Metro -Rail Usage reduction (LDC 20- 4.4(H) are to be eliminated ;
(b) it was agreed at the workshop that the Hometown District reduction would be a
general reduction for mixed use the percent reduction would be 20 %;
(c) it was agreed at the workshop in the Hometown District a new building not having
sufficient number of parking spaces must contribute to a fund now being called the
Hometown District Improvement Fund; and new buildings having less then
required spaces would require special exception approval
(d) it was agreed at the workshop in the Hometown District an existing building
requiring additional parking spaces due to expansion or change in use will have a
choice of contributing to the fund, leasing spaces, requesting a variance or getting
a special assignment of on- street spaces from the City Manager;
(e) it was agreed at the workshop that the contribution to the fund for each space
required but not provided would be $1000 per space annually which could be
adjusted periodically;
(f) it was agreed at the workshop that the Hometown District Improvement Fund
would allow expenditures for installation of street furniture or improvements to the
pedestrian environment.
(g) it was. agreed at the workshop that the existing parking reductions in the TODD
zoning districts would be deleted in this section, however, the 25% parking
reduction for mixed use should be placed in another more appropriate location in
the TODD zoning district chapter as part of a follow -up ordinance.

1. LDC Section 20 -7.6 (CL(a): Include a provision that the special exception process
should only kick in if more than 20% of the required spaces are to be paid for by payment
into the fund. Therefore (C)(2)(a) to read "Approval for having Less than required spaces

forth in Section 20 -7.51 of the chapter:
2. LDC Section 20 -7.6 (C)(2)(b): If on- street parking spaces are assigned by the City
Manager and are considered required parking, the recipient, of those assigned spaces
should also pay the fee into the Trust Fund. Therefore the following language should be
added after "Section 20- 4.4(A)(2) - and pay into the Hometown District Improvement
Fund a fee as set forth below. "
3. LDC Section 20 -7.6 (C)(3): There should be a provision that assures that trust fund
monies will be spent on parking facilities. Therefore the following language should be
added at the end of (C)(3)- "The improvement trust fund must dedicate a minimum of
50% of the trust funds for public parking facilities. "

South Miami Green Task Force
Recommendations and Comments Concerning Modifications to the
Parking Ordinance
Draft: June 2, 2008
The South Miami Green Task Force endorses the parking workshop recommendation to
allow a 20% parking reduction for mixed -use buildings in the Hometown District.
In addition, the Green Task Force endorses the proposed fee payment into the Hometown
District Improvement Fund for required parking not provided for. We feel however, that
a minimum of 25% of the monies collected in this fund should be used for items that
improve the pedestrian environment such as: tree planting and maintenance, bike parking
and racks, sidewalk improvements and maintenance, bench installation, water fountains,
outdoor recycle bins, and signage for parking and bike racks.
The Green Task Force feels that these actions will help to nurture a pedestrian friendly
and walkable environment, a critical component in the promotion of a sustainable
community.
South Miami Parking Board
Recommendations and Comments Concerning Modifications to the
Parking Ordinance
June 6, 2008 Meeting- adopted by Parking Board
1. LDC Section 20 -7.6 (A): The Board recommends that the trust fund name should be
Hometown District Parking Improvement Trust Fund. This would applicable in
other sections which contain the name of the trust fund.
LDC Section 20 -7.6 (C)(2)(b) : The Board expressed overall concern that these
regulations continue to allow "phantom" parking spaces. The Board felt that the
sentence referring to leases should contain a qualification statement as follows:
"Provided that parking leases are for a maximum of five years or the term of the
lease with a minimum of one year."
3. LDC Section 20 -7.6 (C)(3): The Board recommends that all of the fiends collected in the
trust fund should be used for parking infrastructure and facilities only. The reference to
the additional use of the funds for street furniture and improvements to the pedestrian
environment should be removed

recommendations at its March 11, 2008 meeting. Mr. Youkilis then reviewed the recommendations
made during the workshop of May 15, 2008.
Mr. Morton questioned if there is a minimum percentage which will limit the number of fixed
spaces that someone could pay into the parking fund without having to provide parking the
required spaces. Mr. Youkilis replied that although it was not implemented it was recommended to
include a sentence providing that approval for having less than required spaces must be granted via
the special exception process which goes before the Planning Board and the City Commission.
The Board agreed that only a certain percentage of parking spaces should be exempt from paying
into the parking fund.
Mr. Comendeiro moved to recommend that a request to reduce parking requirements above 20%
must be approved via a special exception and Mr. Cruz seconded. The Board unanimously agreed.
Mr. Morton questioned the parking space credit Section20- 4.4(A)(2) and was concerned that the
credited spaces will not be charged the proposed $1000 fee. Mr. Youkilis advised that the LDC
states the an applicant may request that the City Manager assign on- street parking spaces to be
counted as part of the required spaces if they are within 1500 feet away of the subject property. The
Board agreed to amend No. 2(b) to require that those spaces being administratively credited by the
City Manager should be required to pay the $1.000 fee.
Mr. Morton also expressed concerns that those merchants outside of the Hometown District which
are granted with on- street parking spaces should not be excluded from paying into the Hometown
District Improvement Fund and be required to pay into the Trust Fund and the Board agreed. Ms.
Yates moved to replace the word "or" with "and" in order to include that the assignment of on-
street parking spaces by the City Manager should be subject to pay the $1,000 fee and Mr. Farfan
seconded. The Board passed the motion by a unanimous vote.
Mr. Cruz questioned the definition of the word "parking infrastructure." He was concerned that it
could be related to uses other than for the Hometown. District parking upgrade. After discussion the
Board agreed that that (C)(3) should include the following sentence, "The improvement trust fund
must dedicate a minimum of 50% of the trust funds for public parking facilities." Mr. Comendeiro
moved to make the following text amendments and Ms. Yates seconded. The Board passed the
motion by a unanimous vote.
Motion: Ms. Yates moved to approve the proposed Off - Street Parking Bonus Provisions Mr.
Comendeiro seconded with the following recommendations:
1. Include 20% requirement in (C)(2)(a) to read "Approval for having less than required
spaces above 20% of the requirement must be approved via the special exception process
set forth in Section 20 -7.51 of the chapter:
2. Replace the word "or" with "and" under (C)(2)(b) t6 read "City Manager in accord with
Section 20- 4.4(A)(2); ov and pay into the Hometown District Improvement Fund a fee as
set forth below."
3. In (C)((3) include "The improvement trust fund must dedicate a minimum of 50% of the
trust funds for public parking facilities. "
