COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION
The City Administration (“Administration”) recommends that the Mayor and City Commission (“City Commission”) extend the current North Beach Restricted Residential Parking Permit (“RRPP”) Pilot Program zone for an additional twelve (12) month period, with modifications to both the program boundaries and implementation parameters, and directing the city administration to continue data collection and evaluation of the pilot’s effectiveness for potential future permanent adoption.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On December 13, 2023, at the request of Commissioners David Suarez and Joseph Magazine, the City Commission referred agenda item C4 G to the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee (“FERC” or “Committee”) to discuss the creation of Restricted Residential Parking Permit (“RRPP”) zones in North Beach to protect the quality-of-life of North Beach residents in areas were residential parking is severely impacted by competing uses and/or heavy concentration of parked vehicles.
The item was discussed during the FERC meeting on April 19, 2024 (Attachment A). At the meeting, the FERC recommended the establishment of RRPP zones in North Beach and recommended implementing a pilot program - with no associated fees to residents - for a duration of twelve (12) months (“the Pilot Program”). The Committee emphasized that thorough community outreach would be required and definitive zone boundaries would need to be established prior to City Commission approval of the RRPP Pilot Program.
On June 10, 2024, the Transportation, Parking and Bicycle-Pedestrian Facilities Committee (“TPBPFC”) discussed this item and passed a motion to endorse the creation of RRPP zones in North Beach. Letter To Commission (“LTC”) No. 246-2024 was issued on June 14, 2024 (Attachment B).
On June 26, 2024, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2024-33154 (Attachment C) authorizing the Administration to create RRPP zones in North Beach as part of a 12-month Pilot Program. During the meeting, three (3) RRPP zones were presented by the Administration and approved by the City Commission, including North Shore, Biscayne Beach, and Normandy Isle.
After further evaluation of the current and anticipated parking demand in North Beach, the Town Center neighborhood was added as a fourth potential RRPP zone given the mix of existing and proposed residential and commercial developments in the area which is expected to create a strain on the availability of on-street and off-street parking facilities for residents in that neighborhood.
On July 24, 2024, the City Commission adopted resolution No.2024-33222 (Attachment D) authorizing the administration to create a RRPP zone in North Beach as part of a 12-month Pilot Program. At the meeting direction was given to combine all initial four zones (North Shore Neighborhood, Biscayne Beach Neighborhood, Normandy Isle Neighborhood, and Town Center Neighborhood) into one zone. Should the pilot program prove to be successful, the City Commission may approve the continuation of North Beach RRPP Zone 26 on a permanent basis, subject to certain operational changes based upon the findings collected by the city administration during the pilot program and in accordance with the city code.
On November 1, 2024, the North Beach Restricted Residential Parking Permit (RRPP) Zone 26 program was launched, following a two-month educational period that allowed residents to register either in person or online. In addition, the city launched an educational outreach campaign over all social media platforms, electronic letters, and also published a spread in the MB Magazine. Since implementation, the City has issued approximately 12,000 permits. Enforcement began on January 2, 2025, and as of October 15, 2025, a total of 7,569 citations has been issued, citations issued to residents who registered for the program were dismissed as a courtesy. Overall, the Parking Department has received positive feedback from residents, who have expressed appreciation for the program’s effectiveness in improving parking availability and neighborhood access.
ANALYSIS
The North Beach Restricted Residential Parking Program (RRPP) has proven to be an effective tool in improving neighborhood parking conditions, reducing non-resident intrusion, and increasing compliance through consistent enforcement and data-driven management. Feedback and enforcement data collected during the pilot period show a measurable reduction in parking congestion and a high level of resident participation. Building upon this success, the program is being refined to strengthen compliance, promote fairness, and expand coverage to eliminate remaining enforcement gaps.
Repeat Offender Towing Policy The program will transition from issuing only citations to allowing for the towing of repeat offenders. A repeat offender will be defined as any vehicle that receives three violations within a thirty-day period. This change introduces a clear deterrent for chronic violators who repeatedly disregard RRPP restrictions. By escalating enforcement consequences, the goal is to reduce repeat offenses, improve compliance, and prioritize limited curb space for permitted residents rather than habitual violators.
Permit Allocation and Review for Properties with Off-Street Parking Permits have historically been issued to all single-family homes and multi-family residential buildings regardless of the availability of on-site parking. To ensure equitable distribution and preserve on-street access for residents without private parking, Customer Service will verify the availability of off-street spaces prior to issuing new permits. This process will ensure that permits are allocated based on actual residential need rather than automatic eligibility. Additionally, the department will conduct a comprehensive review of permit utilization across both single-family and multi-family properties to confirm that existing allocations align with the overall intent of the program. These measures will promote responsible use of limited curb space and improve consistency in program administration.
Boundary Expansion to Eliminate Enforcement Gaps The existing boundary between residential and metered parking zones has created an unenforceable grey area where vehicles park without regulation. To address this, the RRPP boundary will be expanded along Collins Court from 87th Street south to 76th Street, ensuring that every block within the transition area is clearly designated as either metered or residential. This adjustment will eliminate unregulated curb space, enhance operational efficiency, and reduce spillover parking from adjacent metered districts. Attachment E represents the modified boundary map.
Permit Purchase Flexibility Pilot In keeping with the current model, all residential households will continue to receive thirty (30) visitor permits per quarter at no cost. However, if a household exhausts its free quarterly allotment prior to the end of the quarter, the department will provide the option to purchase additional visitor permits at a rate of ten dollars ($10) per permit. This approach maintains equitable access for all residents while offering flexibility for households with recurring guests, family members, or service providers. The pilot will be evaluated based on permit utilization data, curb occupancy, and resident feedback to determine whether the expanded allotment supports the program’s objectives without increasing overall parking demand.
House of Worship and Institutional Coordination The existing House of Worship (HOW) Permit Program will be expanded to include North Beach locations. Lots P92, P106, and the Biscayne Beach Elementary site will be incorporated into the HOW framework to supplement available off-street parking supply and provide flexibility during peak-demand periods. These lots will support institutional uses depending on time of day and operational need. This expansion promotes equitable access for faith-based and community institutions while maintaining residential parking integrity.
The Administration retains the authority to adjust the RRPP and implementation strategy as needed throughout the twelve-month extension to ensure alignment with community needs, policy objectives, and evolving conditions within the North Beach district.

Dear Honorable Mayor and City Commission:
The Transportation, Parking, and Bicycle-Pedestrian Facilities Committee (TPBPFC) held its hybrid meeting on Monday, June 10, 2024. The Committee discussed the subject matter and recognized the difficulties residents in the North Beach area face concerning vehicular on-street parking.
The TPBPFC unanimously passed a motion affirming support for the creation of a Residential Parking Permit Zone in the three proposed neighborhoods within the North Beach area of Miami Beach.
As an advisory Committee, we urge the Mayor and City Commission to support this motion.
Sincerely,
Transportation, Parking & Bicycle-Pedestrian Facilities Committee

ANALYSIS
Please place on the December 13, 2023 agenda a referral to the Finance and Economic
Resiliency Committee to discuss the creation of residential parking permit zones in North Beach. The sponsors propose the issuance of residential parking permits which would allow
holders to park a motor vehicle within the designated zone( s) during certain days/ hours, in order to protect the quality of life of North Beach residents in areas where only permit
residential parking is severely impacted by competing uses and/ or a heavy concentration of
commuter vehicles that are parked night and day for purposes unrelated to residential uses.
The City is a small barrier island consisting of approximately 82, 000 residents and fifteen ( 15) square miles of land within its territorial jurisdiction. However, despite its small size, the City is an internationally renowned tourist destination and hosts thousands of visitors each and every day
and night of the year. Moreover, due to its density and small geographic area, there is limited
residential parking within the City, so the City Commission previously created residential parking
permit areas ( meant solely for the benefit of City residents who reside in such areas, and their
occasional invitees). Presently, there are twenty( 20) such residential parking permit zones in the
City, but almost none of the residential parking permit zones are located in North Beach. Unfortunately, parking has become quite challenging for many North Beach residents, which has unduly restricted entry of North Beach residents to their homes.
Accordingly, I propose the creation of residential parking permit zones in North Beach, as a one
1) Pilot Program, which will allow the City Commission year
implementation of residential parking zones mitigates the parking problems in the area. If' approved, the proposed Ordinance creating residential parking permit zones in North Beach
would automatically sunset after one ( 1) year.

for the Pilot Program, others expressed concerns; and
WHEREAS, below is a summary of the key concerns and comments from the members of the community who attended the community meetings and how the City Administration proposes to
address or mitigate each concern as part of the Pilot Program:
Concern: Limited number of RRPPs per household. Recommendation: Consistent with all existing RRPP zones citywide, a maximum of two ( 2) permits per household are permitted, however, for households with more than two ( 2) vehicles, additional permits can be considered by the Parking Department Director on a case- by-case basis; Concern: Visitor permits required to visit neighboring zones.
Recommendation:
Recommendation: Creation of
encompassing all four (4) neighborhoods ( excluding the existing Altos del Mar RRPP zone) to provide more flexibility and allow residents to circulate the neighborhood freely; Concern: Exclusion of single- family homes, townhomes, apartments, and condominiums with on- site parking from participating in the Pilot Program. Recommendation: Single family homes, townhomes, apartments, and condominiums will be included in the RRPP Pilot Program, which allows for up to two ( 2) RRPPs per
household, with additional permits
Director on a case- by-case basis;
Concern: Negative impact on local businesses
restrictions on employee and customer parking.
Recommendation: Consider expanding the metered/ pay- to- park enforcement hours,
currently 8: 00 a. m. to 6: 00 p. m., to enable business patrons and employees
within the RRPP zone(s) during business hours; Concern: Cost associated with purchasing a RRPP after the 12- month Pilot Program.
Recommendation:
If the North Beach RRPP is approved by the City Commission
permanent implementation, the annual cost for residents to purchase an RRPP is to be determined by the City Commission. Existing RRPPs in the City range from $ 26.75 to $ 274. 20 annually;
Concern: Impacts of New/ Future Developments on the North Beach RRPP zone( s).
