VILLAGE OF PALMETTO BAY, FLORIDA PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT 9705 East Hibiscus Street • Palmetto Bay, Florida 33157 Phone: 305-259-1243 • Fax: 305-259-1290 • www.palmettobay-fl.gov 1 Date: September 15, 2025 To: Honorable Mayor and Village Council From: Javier Gonzalez, AICP, CFM, Planning and Zoning Director Subject: Proposed Village-Wide On-Street Parking Regulations ___________________________________________________________________________________ REQUEST The Administration through Planning & Zoning Department is requesting Mayor and Village Council approval to amend Chapter 28 of the Village Code of Ordinances to establish regulations for on-street parking throughout the Village of Palmetto Bay. The critical need for these regulations stems from the desire to ensure efficient utilization of parking spaces, prevent parking congestion, improve traffic flow, and enhance the overall safety and welfare of the community. The amendment has been properly advertised in accordance with section 166.041 of the Florida Statutes. A copy of the advertisement is included in Attachment A. BACKGROUND To emphasize the need for the proposed village-wide on-street parking regulations, an inventory of currently available on-street parking spaces in key areas of the Village has been compiled. This inventory focuses on areas adjacent to significant developments, providing an understanding of the existing on-street parking supply. The current total identified on-street parking capacity across these surveyed locations is 171 spaces. This limited existing capacity, combined with increasing demand, highlights the urgency for regulation. The distribution of these spaces is detailed as follows: Location ID Property Information Address Parking Spaces 1 The Collection 9742 Banyan Street Total - 24 2 Palmetto Station 17945 SW 97 Avenue Total - 38 3 Vistas at Palmetto Bay 18300 SW 98 Avenue Total - 11 4 Bay Village 18301 S Dixie HWY Total - 19 5 Indigo Palmetto Bay 9500 SW 174 Street Total - 42 6 Isaacs Roofing 17225 S Dixie HWY Total - 37 Total Parking 171 14

Proposed Village-Wide On-Street Parking Regulations 2 The location and number of these parking spaces are further illustrated on the following map. Please note that the map also includes a summary table of the surveyed locations and their respective space counts, complementing the detailed information provided above. A copy of the location maps are included in Attachment B. 15

Proposed Village-Wide On-Street Parking Regulations 3 This current inventory highlights specific areas where on-street parking is presently available and helps frame the context for implementing new regulations and designated pay parking zones to optimize utilization and management, thereby addressing current and future parking challenges. The ordinance was deferred at the June 16, 2025, Zoning Hearing, to the September 15, 2025, Zoning Hearing. A primary reason for the deferral was for staff to meet with property and business owners affected by the proposed ordinance who made public comments at the hearing. As a result of this direction, staff held a meeting on August 11, 2025, to discuss the intent of the ordinance and seek input from these stakeholders. The input gathered highlighted several areas of interest and concern. Property owners raised points regarding apartment building residents parking on on-street spaces adjacent to the commercial property, seeking solutions like decals for their commercial tenants. Business owners emphasized the importance of consistent customer access to on-street parking, proposing mechanisms like a first hour free for customers and temporary "commercial use only" signage until the paid parking program is implemented. While a two-hour turnover time was generally accepted, some attendees noted that longer durations might be necessary for specific events. The concept of resident discounts was fa
