07-26-05 Item 14To: Honorable Vice Mayor and Date: JulyA6, 2005 Commission Members ITEM No. From: Mary S Ott Russell Re: Modifying and suspending Mayor certain provisions of Land Development -Code relating to parking ORDINANCE c' - AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE; MODIFYING AND SUSPENDING CERTAIN PROVISIONS THAT ALLOW FOR THE REDUCTION OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES, FOR A PERIOD OF NINE MONTHS, THEREBY ENABLING THE CITY TO EVALUATE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ZONING TASK FORCE, PARKING COMMITTEE, 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 BACKGROUND The City Commission at its May 4, 1999 meeting adopted a limited parking moratorium ordinance (No. 8 -99 -1682) The ordinance was extended on four different occasions, the latest was adopted in June 2003 (Ord. No. 15 -03- 1799). The 2003 ordinance amended the original moratorium to be 60 months from May 4, 1999. The moratorium therefore ended on May 4, 2004. The moratorium ordinance was in 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 LDC which allowed for reduced required parking in the Hometown District. These were: (1) Sec. 20 -4.4 (H) Metro Rail Usage Consideration. Allows 50% reduction in parking if within 1500 feet of the MetroRail Station; (2) Sec.20 -4.4 (G) Joint Use Spaces - Allows parking reductions if there is a mix of uses; (3) Sec.20 -7.6 (B) Hometown Adjustments. Allows for parking reductions for certain features (arcades) or for mixed uses in multi -story buildings. The City Commission was permitted to waive the moratorium if approved by a vote of four members. It is important to note that during the period the moratorium was in effect there have been no special requests to waive the restrictions. M MORATORIUM EXTENSION The purpose of the moratorium was to temporarily hold on allowing parking reductions until a parking study could be completed. The moratorium was extended several times in order to allow amendments to the parking regulations to be finalized and adopted. The Zoning Task Force, the Parking Committee and the Planning Board have now completed recommendations amending these sections of the Code and should be presented to the City Commission in the fall. It is also important to note that a downtown study completed in 2004 indicates that a significant deficit in parking spaces does exist. At a Planning Board meeting in March 2005 an applicant for a restaurant special use approval stated that he would prefer to meet a nine parking space deficit by using the parking reductions allowed by LDC Section 20 -4.4 (H) which recognizes joint uses in the Hometown District and allows a percentage reduction of spaces. The Planning Department immediately took the position that the use of the parking reductions under the expired moratorium is not appropriate based upon the downtown parking study and the fact that new parking amendments will eliminate these provisions entirely. For this reason the Administration has initiated the process to re- instate the same moratorium for an additional nine months. This extension will require the adoption of an up- dated ordinance which is attached. PLANNING BOARD ACTION The Planning Board at its May 10, 2005 meeting, after a public hearing, adopted a motion by a vote of 5 ayes 0 nays recommending that the proposed ordinance re- instating the previous parking moratorium be approved. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the attached proposed ordinance re- instating the parking moratorium for an additional nine months be approved on first reading.

PB -05 -013 Applicant: City of South Miami AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE; MODIFYING AND SUSPENDING CERTAIN PROVISIONS THAT ALLOW FOR THE REDUCTION OF REQUIRED PARKING SPACES, FOR A PERIOD OF NINE _ MONTHS, THEREBY ENABLING THE CITY TO EVALUATE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ZONING TASK FORCE, PARKING COMMITTEE, 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 Planning Board Meeting May 10, 2005 Page 2 of 2 DURING THIS TIME PERIOD; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE Action: Mr. Morton read the item into the record. Mr. O'Donniley presented the staff report. He noted that the City Commission at its May 4, 1999 meeting adopted a limited parking moratorium ordinance (No.8 -99 -1682) The ordinance was extended on four different occasions, the latest was adopted in June 2003 (Ord. No.15 -03 -1799) The 2003 ordinance amended the original moratorium to be 60 months from May 4, 1999. The moratorium therefore ended on May 4, 2004. At this time, Mr. O'Donniley provided a background summary of the moratorium ordinance. The moratorium ordinance was in 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 LDC which allowed for reduced required parking in the Hometown District. These were: (1) Sec. 20 -4.4 (H) Metro Rail Usage Consideration. Allows 50% reduction in parking if within 1500 feet of the MetroRail Station; (2) Sec.20 -4.4 (G) Joint Use Spaces - Allows parking reductions if there is a mix of uses; (3) Sec.20 -7.6 (B) Hometown Adjustments. Allows for parking reductions for certain features (arcades) or for mixed uses in multi -story buildings. The City Commission was permitted to waive the moratorium if approved by a vote of four members. It is important to note that during the period the moratorium was in effect there were no special requests to waive the restrictions. Mr. Morton then opened the Public Hearing. Speakers: NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE David Tucker, Sr. 6556 SW 78 Terr. Supported Mr. Tucker stated to the Board his support for the moratorium and that it should be continued. Mr. Morton closed the public hearing. Motion: Mr. Mann motioned to approve the proposed amendment with the wording "reinstating" substituting for the word "extended." Ms. Yates seconded the motion.
