At the request of Council the parking requirements in the business area were studied by the Planning Board, and compared as to the County and City of Miami. Because of recent and pending changes of business uses parking has become critical. Mr. O'Connor suggested a moratorium on office use changes until the Board has a chance to thoroughly study a new ordinance to meet this impact on N. E. 2nd Ave., Park Drive and Biscayne Blvd. After reviewing different alternatives Mr. O'Connor moved that the Village adopt paragraphs 1, 3, and 4, from the City of Miami Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, as stated in Article XXIII, Section 1, with the deletion of EXCEPT WITHIN THE C-3 (CENTRAL COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT. The motion was seconded by Mr, Palmer and passed unanimously. As a further requirement Mr. Cutchens moved that one parking space (defined as one 9 x 20 ft. space) be provided for each 300.sq. ft. of gross building area for office use, with direct usable access to a street or alley. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Johnson and passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 10:35 p.m.
