M Ootss APPLICANT REQUEST EXPLANATION PLANNING FACT SHEET City of Miami Planning Department October 15, 1976 Consideration of amending the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance 116871, ARTICLE ) XIII Oii r.ST1 EET PA1U<INC AND LOADING by revising Section 2, sub=section (2) to change the maximum percentage of required parking spaces allowed for compact cars, and by adding new sub=sections (2A) and (213) to Section 4 to establish minimum off&street parking space requirements for housing for Low.Income 1!"amilies and Individuals and linusing for the Elderly. To increase allowable off-street parking spaces for compact cars from 25% to 30°0l to reduce the off-street parking requirements for 1-lousing for Low Income Families and dousing for the Elderly. Since the last similar revision of the Ordinance in 1974, there has been a continuation of the trend towards small car production and ownership, as evidenced by the following items: 1. In Dade County it is estimated that well. over 40% of all registered automobiles met the dimensional requirements for utilization of the cornpact parking stall (1974). L. National trends indicate that in the first half of 1976 sub -compact, compact, and luxury small automobiles composed 46% of the auto market, a 4% increase from 1974 and a 13% from 1973. 3. Projected future trends according to expel l.s from the automobile industry foresee a move towards function- alism and downsizing. 4. There is an increase in the availability of small size cars. In 1974 they composed 44% of the models sur- veyed by Consumer Reports while in 1976 they repro- sented 61% of the models. 5. Increasing automobile cost, maintenance and operation support the growth in numbers of the generally less expensive smaller size automobiles. Federal requirements call for improved auto efficiency which can only be met currently through lighter and smaller vehicles, ,f',6 417 4 RECOMMENDATIONS PLANNING DEPARTMENT PLANNING ADVISORY BOARD LAW DEPARTMENT —PLANNI NG ADVISORY BOARD .CITY COMMISSION PD r 3/24/77 Mousing developments for the elderly and low.incorne family typically do not generate the same parking demands as do conventional housing developments. Developers of elderly and low incotne housing must now apply for A parking variant, before the Zoning Board, which both the Manning Departtrient and Zoning Board have viewed syn- patheticalty. Therefore to shorten the tithe required for developers to secure building permits for these projects and to eliminate unnecessary public hearings, off street parking requirements for elderly and low.incottte housing development could be processed ackninistratively, During the last few years, through the variance procedures (above) an average of 0.5 parking spaces per unit has been provided for publicly subsidized housing for the elderly. According to Dade County Depar trnent of Housing and Urban Development this is far in excess of existing utilization which runs at approxirnately fifty percent (5O%), resulting in an actual utilization rate of .25 spaces per unit, tt has also been the experience of Dade County Department of Housing and Urban Development that 1.5 parking spaces per unit for publicly subsidized housing for low-income families is more than adequate for tenant and guest parking. Approval, an increase in the allowable percentage of parking spaces designated for compact automobiles from 25% to 30% is recommended. To recognize the particular needs for off-street parking spaces for Housing for Low Income Fatnili...s and Individuals and Housing for the Elderly, a reduction in off-street parking requirements is recommended. Approval by PAB 33-76 by 5-0 vote (2 absent) at December 1, 1976, meeting. The Law Department determined that certain language in the existing ordinance was inadvertently omitted by the Planning Department and has recommended reconsideration of a corrected text by the Planning Advisory Board. (See draft Resolution) Approval as amended by PAB 9-77 by 7-0 vote at the February 9, 1977, meeting, Approved on first reading by 5.0 vote, March 23, 1977.
