INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To : Honorable Mayor and Members DATE: SEP — FILE
of the City Commission
SUBJECT: Valet Parking Revocable Permit
( for Mayfair in Coconut Grove
FROM: Edward Mar I ez REFERENCES:
City Manager
ENCLOSURES: Related Correspondence
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission not approve the attached request for a
revocable permit given that the information necessary to determine the impact it might have on the
adjacent area has not been submitted. Two areas in particular are of significant concern, namely: 1)
it needs to be established that the applicant can dispose of enough parking spaces, throughout the
duration of the valet parking operation, to accommodate the parking demand created by it, while
not encroaching into the parking spaces assigned to other establishments; 2) it needs to be
established that the valet parking operation will not disrupt or negatively affect the proper and safe
flow of traffic along the right(s) of way affected by it. Thus, the submittal of detailed plans
including an operational program addressing the issues outlined above, as well as others deemed
relevant by other reviewing agencies, is recommended prior to consideration of the item.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Planning and Development has studied the issue of proposing a valet parking
ordinance for the Coconut Grove Central Commercial District and a list of preliminary
considerations has been produced.
It has since come to our attention that at present the Department of Off -Street Parking is
undertaking a planning study of the area, particularly focusing on parking meters, loading zones,
tour buses and valet parking. Given the direct applicability of the results of this study, it seems
only prudent to await its completion before advancing further so as not to duplicate efforts and in
order to incorporate the body of knowledge obtained from the study into the Planning
Department's valet parking proposal.
In addition, it is important to note that any permits pertaining to a use to be implemented in the
public right-of-way, would properly be reviewed by the Public Works Department, as is the case
with permits pursuant to the valet parking ordinance for the Central Business District, downtown.
Finally, regarding the issue of fees, the direct costs associated with such a permit are two -fold: lost
revenue to be derived by the Department of Off -Street Parking from the rented parking meters and
administrative or enforcement costs. Additionally, liability insurance should be secured by the
applicant and a hold -harmless agreement submitted releasing the City of any assignable potential
liability.

SUBJECT: Temporary Valet Parking at
Mayfair - Request for Personal
Appearance
REFERENCES;UIy 11, 1997 letter from
ENCLOSURES Lucia Dougherty
I have received a copy of the request from Mayfair in the Grove for temporary
valet parking within the public right-of-way and have the following information
and recommendation.
On April 10, 1997, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 11483 establishing
"valet parking" within the downtown central business district. This Ordinance
establishes the regulations for use of the public right of way tailored to the unique
characteristics of the central business district. These regulations are necessary to
protect the safety and welfare of the general public within the public right of way
areas under the jurisdiction and responsibility of the City and the interests of all
business owners within the district.
The daytime and evening traffic and pedestrian conditions and business
operations in Coconut Grove are vastly different than the central business district
and would require a unique set of regulations should it be the desire of the City to
authorize additional valet parking zones. The City Code does not permit valet
parking within the public right of way beyond the central business district and
without the appropriate regulations codified, a revocable permit to temporarily
operate valet parking may not adequately protect the safety of the general public
and most assuredly, would not address the interests and concerns of other
business operations in Coconut Grove.
The Department of Public Works recommends that valet parking within the public
right of way in Coconut Grove not commence until appropriate regulations
considering and addressing the safety of the general public and the interests of all
affected property owners and business establishments are formulated and
adopted by the City Commission.
