Item Coversheet
Town of Miami Lakes
Memorandum

To:Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From:Honorable Councilmember Marilyn Ruano
Subject:Commercial Vehicle parking on public streets
Date:2/5/2019

Recommendation:

It has been brought to our attention several times that there are commercial vehicles being parked over night on 82nd Avenue alongside Picnic Park West. These Vehicles include tow trucks, trucks carrying trailers, and other trucks/vans with commercial markings. I was told some time ago that the Town was allowing overnight parking in this area for residents who live in the townhouses across the street. The reason given was that these townhouses do not have sufficient parking. However, at this point it seems that residents are taking advantage of this situation and parking their commercial vehicles that should be parked overnight in an official commercial vehicle facility. I would like to direct staff to explore feasible solutions to this problem.

Fiscal Impact:

This will require an amendment to the Land Development Code. (Medium)
