C. Landscaped areas shall require protection from vehicular encroachment.
Car stops shall be placed at least two and one-half feet from the edge of
the paved area.
D. All landscaping that is placed on the lot shall be maintained in good
condition so as to present a healthy, neat and orderly appearance.
4. Signs. One sign per street frontage is permitted. The maximum size of each sign
shall be five square feet or 50 feet of street frontage. Such signs shall also include
copy that indicates the name of the operator, the phone number of the operator to
report complaints, and who can use the facility (i.e. whether it is open to the
general public, private, valet or self -parking). Signage shall also comply with
section 35-283 of the City Code.
5. All temporary parking lots shall comply with the lighting standards set forth in

Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the planning director shall approve the site
and landscaping plans.
b. Duration of temporary parking use; extensions. Temporary parking lots shall not be
permitted to exist for a period of greater than ten years from the date of certificate of
occupancy or business tax receipt, whichever occurs first, regardless of ownership and
approved in accordance with standards set forth herein, below, and in section 62-544
and the procedures utilized for the processing of a warrant in the Miami 21 Code. At the
end of this period, or such extensions that may be granted as contemplated herein, if
the lot continues to be used for the purposes of parking, a permanent lot shall be
constructed in conformity with the governing regulations set forth in the City Code and
land development regulations. However, prior to the expiration, or not later than 90
calendar days after the expiration of such approval, an applicant may request one initial
extension of time for a period not to exceed three years by filing an application for a
temporary parking use. In granting the initial extension of time, or considering an
appeal from the planning director's decision regarding an extension of time, the
planning director or planning, zoning and appeals board, as the case may be, shall
consider, among other things, whether the applicant has complied with all of the
applicable requirements of these land development regulations, and any conditions
imposed by the planning, zoning and appeals board, if any, during its period of
operation.
After the first extension of time, and prior to expiration, or not later than 90 calendar
days after the expiration of such approval, an applicant may request from the planning
director not more than two extensions of time for periods not to exceed three years
each. In considering such a request, the planning director shall consider the same
criteria applied in his or her review of the initial request for approval of a temporary
parking use.
At the end of all applicable extensions of time for a temporary parking lot, the lot shall
cease to be used for parking and the asphalt and rock base shall be removed.
Section 3. If any section, part of a section, paragraph, clause, phrase, or word of this
Ordinance is declared invalid, the remaining provisions of the Ordinance shall not be
affected.
