CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS SECTIONS 4.4.13 REGARDING THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS
IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT TO ACCOMMODATE REQUIRED
PARKING UTILIZING VALET OR TANDEM PARKING, AND SECTION 4.6.9
ESTABLISHING DESIGN STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS FOR VALET AND
TANDEM PARKING ARRANGEMENTS.
I
At its meeting of March 6, 2001, the City commission continued the proposed LDR text amendment to receive
the community's input from the Charrette held in April. The amendment would allow 100% of the required
parking for restaurants, cocktail lounges, hotels, and residential type inns within the Central Business District,
east of the Intracoastal Waterway, to be accommodated through the provision of valet parking. The proposal
allowed valet parking to be accommodated Utilizing a parking appliance/lift system, tandem parking, or the
combination of both. The amendment previously allowed tandem parking for multiple family developments with
no more than 10 units and clarified the use of tandem parking in townhouse developments. The amendment
also included design criteria for valet and tandem parking lot configurations.
The Commission had concerns with tandem ~arking in multiple family developments as well as the noise that
would be generated by the parking appliance/lift system. The Commission also discussed adding a requirement
to install a roof when a parking appliance system is'used. Based upon these concerns, the Commission denied
the text amendment and directed staff to modify the text based on their concerns.
The attached ordinance has been modified to eliminate the provision that would have allowed tandem parking in
multiple family developments. A provision has been added which requires the lift motor to be encased by a
sound proofing system, which must include acoustical foam panels a minimum 4" thick. With regard to providing
a roof over the hft system parking area, it seems appropriate to address this on a case-by-case basis. The
proposed text does require a decorative wall to screen the vehicles and mechanical equipment when a parking
lift system is used. When a parking appliance system facility abuts a residential development or property zoned
residential, a 10' landscape buffer shall be provided. Through the conditional use process additional
requirements may be imposed to ensure compatibility with adjacent properties and a provision has been added
which reflects this. While this language exists elsewhere in the Land Development Regulations (Section
2.4.4(C)), it has been added to reinforce the requirement.
Public input received during the Charrette indicated opposition to the approval of the use of appliance/lift
systems within the City. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council also addressed the appliance/lift
systems concluding that it's use is a temporary solution, at best, and recommended alternative plans be
developed to resolve the parking problem.
By motion, approve the amendment to the Land Development Regulations Section 4.4.13 to allow required
parking to be accommodated utilizing valet.parking and Section 4.6.9 establishing design standards for valet
and tandem parking arrangements; and City Commission discretion with respect to allowing the appliance/lift
systems.

Mr. Paul Dorling
Director of Planning & Zoning
City of Delray Beach
100 North West 1 st Avenue
Delray Beach, Florida 33444
Dear Mr. Dorling:
Several years ago my wife and I bought a home in Delray Beach because we loved the
charm of both the neighborhood and the downtown area. In the past year we have invested
in several small properties along Salina Avenue. We saw an opportunity to buy and
renovate these residential units so our families could visit from time to time and with the
hope that these properties would appreciate in the future.
I have become increasingly concerned with the proposed ordinance change that would
allow a commercial property owner to increase the density of his property by either tandem
parking or using a mechanical parking devise. While this may help an individual project
owner add to the intensity of his site, it in no way will alleviate parking needs in the
downtown area. I took the time to attend the Charette at the end of April and in fact our
entire table was appalled at how out of character a mechanical or tandem structure would
look in our town. I would expect to see something like this in New York City or
Downtown Miami but not in a beautiful coastal town like Delray Beach. Please let the
commission members know, my strong feeling against this ordinance.
Also, as a residential property owner on Salina Avenue I strongly disagree with the
intensive use proposed for the Bermuda Hotel site. Please come and look at how small our
street is and then envision what a project like that will do to our neighborhood. Their site
plan has maximized the building coverage with minor set-backs (imagine a 5 foot building
set-back on our small street). Do not add negativity to our neighborhood by generating
increased deliveries, more and bigger dumpsters, taller buildings, more traffic or anything
else associated with this dramatic change.
Sincerely,
Don Robinson

SUBJECT:
PAUL~D~~LANNINO AND ZONING
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 6, 2001
CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO LAND DEVELOPMENT REGU~TIONS
SECTIONS 4.4.13 REGARDING THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN THE CBD ZONE
DISTRICT TO ACCOMMODATE REQUIRED PARKING UTILIZING VALET OR TANDEM
PARKING, AND SECTION 4.6.9 ESTABLISHING DESIGN STANDARDS AND
REGULATIONS FOR VALET AND TANDEM PARKING ARRANGEMENTS.
At its meeting of January 6, 2001, the City Commission considered the proposed LDR text amendment. The
amendment would allow 100% of the required parking for restaurants, cocktail lounges, hotels, and residential
type inns within the CBD zone district, east of the Intracoastal Waterway, to be accommodated through the
provision of valet parking. The proposal allowed valet parking to be accommodated utilizing a parking
appliance/lift system, tandem parking, or the combination of both. The amendment allowed tandem parking
for multiple family developments with no more than 10 units and clarified the use of tandem parking in
townhouse developments. The amendment also included design criteria for valet and tandem parking.
The Commission had concerns with tandem parking in multiple family developments as well as the noise that
would be generated by the parking appliance/lift system. The Commission also discussed adding a
requirement to install a roof when a parking appliance system is used. Based upon these concerns, the
Commission denied the text amendment and directed staff to modify the text based on their concerns.
Staff visited a site in Miami which utilizes a parking appliance lift system and video recorded the lifts in
operation. At the Commission's February 27th workshop, the video was presented and revealed that the noise
generated by the raising and lowering of the lifts is minimal and the noise generated by the hydraulic motor
was similar to that of an air conditioner compressor.
Based upon the Commission's concerns, the attached ordinance has been modified to eliminate the provision
that would have allowed tandem parking in multiple family developments. A provision has been added which
requires the lift motor to be encased by a sound proofing system, which must include acoustical foam panels
a minimum 4" thick. With regard to providing a roof over the lift system parking area, it seems appropriate to
address this on a case-by-case basis. The proposed text does require a decorative wall to screen the
vehicles and mechanical equipment when a parking lift system is used. When a parking appliance system
facility abuts a residential development or property zoned residential, a 10' landscape buffer shall be provided.
Through the conditional use process additional requirements may be imposed to ensure compatibility with
adjacent properties and a provision has been added which reflects this. While this language exists elsewhere
in the Land Development Regulations (Section 2.4.4(C)), it has been added to reinforce the requirement.
By Motion, approve on first reading a text amendment to Section 4.4.13 regarding the parking requirements in
the CBD zone district to accommodate required parking utilizing valet or tandem parking, and Section 4.6.9
establishing design standards and regulations for valet and tandem parking arrangements, based upon the
findings with LDR Section 2.4.5(M) and the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, setting a public hearing date
of March 20, 2001.
