CITY COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 12, 2000
AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDRs)
MODIFYING THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR RESTAURANTS IN THE
ORIGINAL DDA AREA AND DELETING THE ONE TIME ONE SPACE PARKING
REDUCTION IN THE CBD AND OSSHAD DISTRICTS.
BACKGROUND
The parking requirement for restaurants in the original DDA area is only 1 space per 300 square
feet regardless of use. Therefore, conversions of existing floor area to more intensive uses do not
require additional parking. Restaurants also enjoy a reduced standard in the remaining portions of
the CBD with a requirement of only 6 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of building area. This is one-half the
City's normal requirement. These liberal parking requirements have helped to fuel the revitalization
of the downtown area. However, the success of the downtown as an entertainment district with
restaurants and clubs has also significantly increased the demand for off-street parking and few
new spaces have become available to meet this new demand.
A recommendation was made by the Parking Management Advisory Board in 1999, to increase the
parking requirement for restaurants in the original DDA area to 6 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft.. The
amendment was denied by the City Commission on July 6, 1999.
Downtown development activity has remained strong over the last year. New office and residential
projects have been approved and several new restaurants have opened on the Avenue. At its
meeting of August 22, 2000, the Parking Management Advisory Board reviewed the restaurant
parking issue again and requested that staff prepare draft changes to the Land Development
Regulations to increase the parking requirements for restaurants in the original DDA area to 6
spaces per 1000 sq. ft.. This represents an increase of 2.67 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. This
requirement would also apply to future restaurant conversions. For example, if a 1,500 square foot
retail space is converted to a restaurant, the difference between the two requirements would have
to be provided to meet the increased parking demand. In this case, an additional 4 parking spaces
would be required. Under the current codes, that additional parking is not required since the
requirement for all non-residential uses is the same (1 space/300 sq. ft.).
The PMAB also recommended that the one time reduction of one space be eliminated from all
areas. The Board felt that this redevelopment incentive is no longer needed and the required
parking should be provided.
Additional background and an analysis of the proposed amendments are included in the attached
Planning and Zoning Board staff report.
REVIEW BY OTHERS
Downtown Development Authority (DDA): The DDA Board reviewed the proposed amendment
at its meeting on October 18, 2000. The Board recommended approval of the amendment.
City Commission Documentation
Meeting of December 12, 2000- Parking Requirements
Page 2
West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC): The West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment
Area includes 2 blocks within the OSSHAD district which would be affected by the elimination of
the one-time one space parking reduction. The Board reviewed the proposal at its meeting on
November 8, 2000. The Board did not support the proposal to eliminate the one-time, one space
reduction since it would negatively affect small redevelopment projects.
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA): The CRA reviewed the proposed amendment at its
meeting of November 9, 2000. The Board recommended approval of the increase in parking
requirements for restaurants in the original DDA portion of the CBD. The Board felt that this would
level the playing field and encourage restaurants to locate in other locations in the CBD and
OSSHAD, such as Pineapple Grove. The Board did not support the elimination of the one-time,
one space parking reduction, since this would negatively affect small redevelopment projects.
Pineapple Grove Main Street: To proposed amendment was submitted to Pineapple Grove Main
Street for review and comment. The Committee did not formally review the proposal.
Planning & Zoning Board: The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on the proposed
amendments at its meeting of November 20, 2000. Bruce Gimmy and Bernie Dahlem (Parking
Management Advisory Board) spoke in favor of the proposed amendments stating that the current
parking requirements for restaurants is too Iow. They also emphasized that additional retail is
needed downtown and that restaurants should be encouraged to locate in other redevelopment
areas. Bruce Gimmy stated that the one time one space reduction is no longer needed to
encourage redevelopment and should be eliminated.
After discussion, the Board recommended approval of the proposed amendment to increase the
parking requirement for restaurants in the original DDA area to 6 spaces per 1,000 square feet by
a vote of 5 to 1 (Bird absent and Morris dissenting). The Board made a second motion to deny the
proposed amendment to eliminate the one time one space parking reduction. The motion failed on
a vote of 3 to 3.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
By motion, approve on first reading a text amendment to Land Development Regulations
(LDRs) Section 4.4.13(G)(1)(a) Parking, Supplemental District Regulations for the Central
Business District increasing the parking requirements for restaurants in the original DDA area
to 6 spaces per 1,000 square feet, based upon the findings and recommendation of the
Planning & Zoning Board.
By motion, deny on first reading a text amendment to Land Development Regulations (LDRs)
Sections 4.4.13(G)(1)(b) Parking, Supplemental Regulations for the Central Business District
and Section 4.4.24(G)(6) Supplemental District Regulations for the Old School Square Historic
Arts District, eliminating the one-time one space parking reduction.

IIl. C
AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS (LDRs) MODIFYING THE PARKING
REQUIREMENTS FOR RESTAURANTS IN THE ORIGINAL
DDA AREA AND DELETING THE ONE TIME ONE SPACE
PARKING REDUCTION IN THE CBD AND OSSHAD
DISTRICTS.
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission
on an amendment to LDR Section 4.4.13(G) Supplemental District Requlations, for the
CBD (Central Business District) and Section 4.4.24(G) Supplemental District
Regulations for the OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District), pursuant to
LDR Section 2.4.5 (M).
Pursuant to LDR Section 1.1.6, amendments to the Land Development Regulations
may not be made until a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning
Board.
The parking requirement for restaurants in the original DDA area is only 1 space per
300 square feet regardless of use. Therefore, conversions of existing floor area to more
intensive uses do not require additional parking. Restaurants also enjoy a reduced
standard in the remaining portions of the CBD with a requirement of only 6 spaces per
1,000 sq. ff. of building area. This is one-half the City's normal requirement. These
liberal parking requirements have helped to fuel the revitalization of the downtown area.
However, the success of the downtown as an entertainment district with restaurants
and clubs has also significantly increased the demand for off-street parking and few
new spaces have become available to meet this new demand.
A recommendation was made by the Parking Management Advisory Board in 1998, to
increase the parking requirement for restaurants in the original DDA area to 6 spaces
per 1,000 sq. ft.. The proposed change was incorporated into an ordinance which also
dealt with increasing in-lieu parking fees. However, it was deleted from the in-lieu fee
ordinance so that the issues could be dealt with separately. The in-lieu fee ordinance
was passed in 1999 and fees were increased for the majority of the downtown area.
At its February 23, 1999 meeting, the Parking Management Advisory Board affirmed its
original recommendation and voted 7/0 to amend the regulations for the original DDA
area to increase the parking requirements from 1 space per 300 sq. ft. to 6 spaces per
1,000 sq. ft. The amendment was denied bythe City Commission on July 6, 1999.

Text Amendment for Restaurant Parking in CBD & One Time One Space Parking Reduction
Page 2
Downtown development activity has remained strong over the last year. New office and
residential projects have been approved and several new restaurants have opened on
the Avenue. At its meeting of August 22, 2000, the Parking Management Advisory
Board reviewed the restaurant parking issue again and requested that staff prepare
draft changes to the Land Development Regulations to increase the parking
requirements for restaurants in the original DDA area to 6 spaces per 1000 sq. ft.. This
represents an increase of 2.67 spaces per 1,000 sq. ff. This requirement would also
apply,to future restaurant conversions. For example, if a 1,500 square foot retail space
is converted to a restaurant, the difference between the two requirements would have to
be provided to meet the increased parking demand. In this case, an additional 4
parking spaces would be required. Under the current codes, that additional parking is
not required since the requirement for all non-residential uses is the same (1 space/300
sq. ft.).
The Board also recommended that the one time reduction of one space be eliminated
from all areas. The Board felt that this redevelopment incentive is no longer needed
and the required parking should be provided.
The proposed increase to the parking requirements applies only to restaurants in the
downtown area bounded by Swinton Avenue on the west, N.E. 1st Street on the north,
the Intracoastal Waterway on the east and SE 1st Street on the south. The success of
the downtown as an entertainment district with restaurants and clubs has significantly
increased the demand for off-street parking. Based on the current success of the
downtown, it appears that a reduced parking requirement is no longer needed as a
redevelopment incentive. The proposed change requires restaurants in this area to
meet the same parking requirements as the rest of the CBD, OSSHAD and the West
Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Area. The applicable rate is (6) spaces per 1,000 sq.
ft. of floor area. This is still one-half the normal code requirement for the rest of the
City. The requirement will be applied to changes in use as well as the construction of
new floor area. Under the proposed regulations, restaurants will have to provide an
additional 2.67 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. than required under the current code.
East Atlantic Avenue, between Swinton Avenue and Intracoastal Waterway, has a
considerable advantage over other areas of the City with respect to parking
requirements for restaurants. With the same standard for all nonresidential uses in this
area, a retail or office building with a minimal parking demand can be converted to a
night club or restaurant with a considerable parking demand and not provide any
additional parking. Conversions of this type have an obvious impact on the availability
of parking for other uses downtown. This was not an issue in 1990 when the downtown
was deserted at night and public parking was plentiful. However, ten years later, public
parking lots are full, restaurant owners are leasing private spaces and using a valet
service to meet demand and the number of restaurants is still increasing. When the
public lots are full, vehicles are parked illegally in private lots and those who provide
parking are ~mpacted by those who do not. The question is why do we still have the
incentive in this area while other areas targeted for redevelopment, such as Pineapple
Grove and West Atlantic Avenue, are at a significant disadvantage. For example, a
Planning & Zoning Memorandum Staff Report
Text Amendment for Restaurant Parking in CBD & One Time One Space Parking Reduction
Page 3
2,000 square feet retail to restaurant conversion in Pineapple Grove would have to
provide an additional 3 parking spaces or pay an in-lieu fee of $18,000.
The PMAB also requested that the one time reduction of one parking space be deleted
from the Land Development Regulations. This code provision was originally enacted to
help the small owner or developer who wishes to change use or add additional floor
area. However, there is no limit on the size of the project or on the number of new
spaces required. Staff feels that this reduction is still needed for small redevelopment
projects where additional parking is not possible and in-lieu fees would be prohibitive.
Pineapple Grove would be particularly affected since redevelopment is just getting
underway with a number of small projects.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
LDR Section 2.4.5{M)(5), Amendment to the Land Development Requlations,~
Findings: In addition to the provisions of Section 1.1.6{A), the City Commission
must make a finding that the text amendment is consistent with and furthers the
Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
This amendment is not beingdnitiated to fulfill any specific Comprehensive Plan policy.
While the amendment does not specifically further the Goals, Objectives, and Policies
of the Comprehensive Plan, it is not inconsistent with them.
Downtown Development Authority (DDA): The DDA Board reviewed the proposed
amendment at its meeting on October 18, 2000. The Board recommended approval of
the amendment.
West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition (WARC): The West Atlantic Avenue
Redevelopment Area includes 2 blocks within the OSSHAD district which would be
affected by the elimination of the one-time one space parking reduction. The Board
reviewed the proposal at its meeting on November 8, 2000. The Board did not support
the proposal to eliminate the one-time, one space reduction since it would negatively
affect small redevelopment projects.
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA): The CRA reviewed the proposed
amendment at its meeting of November 9, 2000. The Board recommended approval of
the increase in parking requirements for restaurants in the original DDA portion of the
CBD. The Board felt that this would level the playing field and encourage restaurants to
locate in other locations in the CBD and OSSHAD, such as Pineapple Grove. The
Board did not support the elimination of the one-time, one space parking of reduction,
since this would negatively affect small redevelopment projects.
Pineapple Grove Main Street: To proposed amendment was submitted to Pineapple
Grove Main Street for review and comment. The Committee's comments, if any, will be
presented at the meeting.
