Background Information: The intent of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida is to allow payment in lieu of off-street minimum parking requirements through the parking trust funds; created in specific areas where a concentration of sites have been identified in which minimum parking requirements may not be accommodated on -site. Improvements funds are in the best interest of the community since they are established and intended to facilitate public off-street parking, infrastructure improvements and maintenance and marketing to serve the area. It is for this reason that the relaxations of parking requirements allowed pursuant to Miami 21 are not made available in areas where improvements funds have been established. This amendment to Section 35-220 is a companion item to the Miami 21 Article 7.2.8 Nonconforming Site Improvements (File ID # 14-01075zt) scheduled to be heard by the City Commission on March 26, 2015. Article 7.2.8 is being amended to clarify previously approved language and further meet the intent of the code to allow non -conforming Buildings with less than the required on -site parking or no parking to continue to exist with vested rights. IIowever, when the site is within an area where an improvement trust fund has been established, parking vested rights for adaptive reuses shall not be made available pursuant to Chapter 35 of the City Code and thus the clarification provided herein.
