It is recommended that the City Commission
approve an allocation not to exceed $15,000
to match a like contribution by the Off -Street
Parking Board for initiation of a feasibility
study for a multi -use parking facility located
on the vacant site north of Players State
Theater., per the attached resolution.
Background
Members of the Commission may remember that approximately two
years ago a study was prepared by Joe Rice, Professional Engineer,
which reflects that a parkins; only facility would not be successful.
Since that tire, the development of Coconut Grove has accelerated,
utilization of the Theater has increased, and the concept of
multiple use of garages including retail and commercial space
appears to support initiation of a new study.
Approximately six months ar,o, Mayor Terre was contacted by
Secretary of State George firestone to determine if the City was
willing to enter into a cooperative arrangement with the State of
Florida leadinc7 to the construction of a parking facility. The
State expressed a willingness to either transfer or lease the
available site on a long term basis. The Department of Off -Street
Parking completed an internal feasibility study which reflected that
this project was worth pursuing;. As a result of that study and
further discussions on the part of the Off -Street Parking Depart-
ment and City staff with representatives of Players State Theater,
the Off -Street Parkin,; Board committed $15,000 as 50 percent of
the estimated cost of a detailed feasibility study which is required
to issue revenue bones. Pursuant to Commission action, the Off -
Street Parking Authority intends to qualify consultants, conduct
interviews, select a consultant and negotiate a contract to be
brought back to the Commission.

A Number of actions would possibly be required to ensure the
feasibility of this garage. The first is that the transfer of
development rights as outlined in the New Zoninq Ordinance 9500
would be necessary. The second is property owners with small
parking lots contiguous to their stores should be given zoning
approvals to develop their properties after entering into long
term leases for space in the facility. The third is that a
special assessment district may be necessary in the early years
to ensure the facility's feasibility. =
Conclusion
Based upon the preliminary study by the Department of off -Street
Parking, the rapidly accelerating development of Coconut Grove and
the willingness of the State of Florida to provide a prime site,
it is recommended that the City Commission approve the recommended
allocation.
It is further requested that this item be added to the City
Commission agenda on planning and zoning of December 16, 1982.
