ITEM No. '
Subject: AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE;
AMENDING REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO BONUSES AND PARKING REDUCTIONS IN
THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (TODD) AND IN THE HOMETOWN
OVERLAY ZONE IN ORDER TO REQUIRE APPROVAL BY A FOUR/FIFTHS VOTE OF
THE CITY COMMISSION AND SUSPENDING CERTAIN PROVISIONS THAT ALLOW FOR
THE REDUCTION OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES, FOR A PERIOD OF NINE MONTHS,

TASK FORCE, PARKING BOARD, AND THE PLANNING BOARD PERTAINING TO THE
REDUCTION OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES AND TO PREPARE NECESSARY
AMENDMENTS; PROVIDING THAT ORDINANCES OR SECTIONS THEREOF IN
CONFLICT SHALL NOT BE IN FORCE AND EFFECT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE
Request: In 1999, the City Commission adopted a limited nine month parking moratorium Ordinance (No. 8 -99-
1682) affecting certain provisions of the Land Development Code which allowed for automatic reductions in
required parking. Th legislation was a reaction to the impact of the Shops of Sunset, and its purpose was to afford
the city staff and citizens enough time to review the parking provisions in the Land Development Code and
recommend amendments, if necessary. The moratorium was placed on three parking sections in the Land
Development Code which allowed for reduced parking requirements in the Hometown District and in the vicinity
of the Metro -Rail station.
The moratorium has been extended six times in order to allow for a completion of a downtown parking study, a re-
draft of the Land Development Code, special studies done by the Parking Board, the Planning Board, and the City
Commission.. All of these recommendations are now complete and can provide specific amendments to modify the
provisions currently under moratorium or suspension. These recommendations will be placed in ordinance form for
presentation to the Planning Board and City Commission. The adoption of the ordinance will require a final
extension of the moratorium ordinance.
The last extension of the moratorium was adopted August 1, 2006, (Ordinance No. 18 -06- 1886), and will expire on
May 1, 2007. The ordinance currently in effect carried forward the moratorium and suspension provisions adopted
in 1999 and included two new provisions which expanded the moratorium. These were:
(2)
• Section 20 -7.6 (C) Land Development Code - limitation of the type of development which is allowed to make
payments into the Parking Infrastructure Trust Fund in lieu of providing required spaces;
• Section 20 -8.10 Land Development Code, entitle Bonus Allocations - suspending certain parking space
reductions provided in the TODD as part of the bonus allocations chart.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the same provisions in the August 2006 parking moratorium ordinance be extended
(adopted) for a final additional nine months.

On- street spaces adjacent to a lot shall count toward the parking requirements for

In addition to the above, one of the following may apply:

not exceeding 10,000 square feet, the allowable parking adjustments identified in
subparagraphs (2) and (3), above, shall continue to be as provided.
6. For replacement of an existing building, completely damaged due to natural or

(2) and (3), above, shall continue to be as provided.
(C) Procedure.
(1) The required number of spaces shall first be calculated pursuant to Section 20 -7.12
for each permitted use. The appropriate reduction in parking spaces shall then be
calculated as provided in Section 20 -7.613 above. If the reduction calculated
includes a fraction less than a whole number, the reduction calculated shall be
rounded up and subtracted from the required (unadjusted) number of spaces to
determine the adjusted parking requirement.
(2) The difference between the number of spaces provided, including on street
parking, and the number of spaces required shall then be determined. If there are
fewer spaces provided than required for existing structures only, the applicant must
pay into the Parking Infrastructure Trust Fund a fee, as determined from time to
time by the parking committee, reflecting the actual land and construction costs for
parking, for each space required but not provided. Monies paid into the Parking
Infrastructure Trust Fund shall be placed in a trust account separate from general
funds and may be used only for improvements to the city parking infrastructure to
increase parking capacity or to enhance use of existing parking capacity.
(3) Historic or contributive buildings are exempt from all parking requirements.
(4) Any changes in use in a building will require a re- calculation in the required
parking pursuant to (B) above. If the new combination of uses requires additional
parking spaces, a fee, as determined from time to time by the parking committee,
must be paid into the Parking Infrastructure Trust Fund. If fewer spaces are
required, no refunds will be paid.
Section 2: Section 20- 4.4(H), Land Development Code, entitled "The Metro -Rail
Usage Consideration via Special Parking Permit," is hereby suspended for a period of nine (9)
months for the purpose of evaluating the effects and appropriateness of this provision on future
developments.
Section 3: Section 20- 4A(G), Land Development Code, entitled "Joint Use Spaces
via Special Parking Permit," is hereby suspended for developments within the boundaries of the
Hometown District for a period of nine (9) months for the purpose of evaluating the effects and
appropriateness of this provision on future developments within the Hometown District.
Section 4: Section 20 -8.10, Land Development Code, entitled "Bonus allocations," is
hereby modified as set forth below to eliminate the parking reductions and parking bonuses for
developments within the boundaries of the TODD for a period of nine (9) months for the purpose
of evaluating the effects and appropriateness of this provision on future developments within the
TODD District.
