TITLE
RESOLUTION DIRECTING MAYOR OR HIS DESIGNEE THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND ZONING TO PREPARE STUDY ANALYZING APPROPRIATE PARCELS FOR TRACTOR-TRAILER PARKING

BODY

WHEREAS, there is a lack of appropriate facilities for tractor-trailer parking, causing these vehicles to park illegally in residential neighborhoods and businesses districts throughout the County; and
WHEREAS, the illegal parking of tractor-trailers has a detrimental impact on the safety and aesthetics of residential and business districts; and
WHEREAS, Miami-Dade County is making a substantial investment in the development of a tunnel providing access to the Port of Miami and additional improvements at the Port, which will only increase the demand for tractor-trailers and the need for appropriate parking facilities in this County ; and
WHEREAS, the Board recognizes that appropriate parking facilities for tractor-trailers must be economically feasible, located in areas which are buffered from less intensive uses and sited near major transportation corridors,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that the Mayor or his designee through the Department of Planning and Zoning prepare a study identifying parcels of property which would be suitable for tractor-trailer parking, taking into consideration the economic feasibility of tractor-trailer parking for the parcels identified, ensuring that the parcels identified can be properly buffered from less intensive land uses and that such parcels identified are located near major transportation corridors. The study shall be presented to the Board within 120 days from the adoption of this resolution.
