OFF STREET-PARKING REQUIREMENTS
SECTION APPLICABILITY; GENERAL PROVISIONS
A.Parking Required. Parking in non-residential districts shall be provided at the time
any building or structure is erected,enlarged or increased in capacity by a change to a
more intense use,or by the addition of dwelling units,transient units,floor-area,seats,
beds,employees,or other factors impacting parking demand as stated in this Article.In
all districts,required parking spaces shall be located on site and not on right-of-ways;
off street parking shall not be used for storage or parking commercial vehicles,whether
1
or not they are related to the uses at the site. Required parking shall not be used to
provide accessory uses(tents,barbeques,etc.),which would cause a reduction in
required parking.
B.Parking on Same Plot. Parking spaces for all uses and structures which are provided
as required parking in conformance with the schedule of off-street parking and other
applicable provisions shall be located on the same lot or plot and have the same land use
district as the principal use or structure they are intended to serve. All required
parking shall be located on the same plot with the principal building to which it is
appurtenant and shall indicate the area to be used for parking as well as any reserved
areas.
C.Existing uses. The owner of an existing structure for which there has been a use
category established on or before the date of adoption of this ordinance,and for which
there is insufficient space within the lot,plot,or parcel of land upon which said
structure is situated for the owner of said structure to establish off-street parking and
off-street loading space,as required by this ordinance,the owner shall be required to
comply with this ordinance to the extent possible with regard to existing space available
to said owner and the owner shall be required to obtain approval of a new site plan for
said lot,plot or parcel of land as may be determined by the Planning and Zoning Board.
Any existing building or structure may be modernized,altered,or repaired without
providing additional off-street parking facilities provided there is no increase in
habitable floor area and there is no change to a more intense use which would require
additional parking. A change of use category is defined as being a change from one(1)
enumerated use to another as listed for the various districts in the Zoning Code that
would increase the number of parking spaces required under the Code.
D. Site Plan and Parking Area Required on Permit Application. The parking spaces
shall be delineated on a site plan and the applicant shall submit a scaled drawing,which
shall be approved and filed by the Administrative Official. Prior to the issuance of a
building,paving,grading,leveling,or other permit,two sets of plans,an original survey,
performed within the last six months, must be submitted, or if the presented survey is
older than 6 months, an Affidavit by the owner, contractor, architect, or engineer,
attesting to it's accuracy, shall be filed with the Administrative Official. A sketch must
be presented and approved by the Planning and Zoning Director indicating the parking
layout, drainage plan for the premises,and all driveway approaches extending from the
street/alley to the property. In reviewing the plan, the Planning and Zoning Director
shall take into consideration the scale and the aesthetic appearance of the driveway, the
location of existing trees,the volume of traffic to be generated,public safety,the pattern
and conflict with adjacent road traffic, the number of driveways and approaches
proposed, their proximity to each other, the location and proximity of median cuts,
visual clearances or obstructions at the driveways or in the parking area, and other
factors that may affect the safety and welfare of the public.All driveways that extend to
or are accessed to a State roadway shall have access aisles and shall meet with the
approval of the State Department of Transportation and Miami Shores Village.
E.Parking Spaces to be Reserved.The land comprising approved parking spaces
required by this Article shall be maintained as off-street parking spaces in perpetuity
and shall not be used for other purposes unless there is a Village Council or Planning
and Zoning Board approved change in land use or site plan on the premises which
warrants a change in design,layout,or number of required parking spaces.
2
F.Required Parking not to be Operated as Commercial Parking Lot.An area
designated as a parking area in connection with a designated use or uses shall not be
operated as a commercial parking lot where patrons are charged for the use of the lot.
G. Impervious Surfaces. All parking spaces shall be considered impervious for the
purpose of calculating required green space pursuant to district requirements
established in the code for pervious and impervious areas.
H. Paving. All off street parking areas and access aisles shall be surfaced with a
minimum of a rolled 6" rock base and a 1" durable, weatherproof asphaltic pavement
or concrete.Alternatively,single-family residences may use bricks or pavers on sand.
I. Drainage/Maintenance. All off street parking areas shall be kept in working order
and be free from hazards, potholes, cracks, and be properly sloped and of sufficient
