Miami Beach commissioners adopted a temporary parking-lot provision allowing temporary parking on parcels that were vacant before July 1, 2025, and discussed a separate staff-led program to reduce double parking through curb color-coding and delivery-driver education.

The adopted item (item number 4 on the agenda) was approved by acclamation. The provision as described during the meeting limits temporary parking-lot use to sites vacant prior to 07/01/2025, establishes a five-year term for such permits, and includes an option for an extension that would require a plan evaluation and an appraisal report. The meeting record did not include a roll-call vote tally or the names of the mover and seconder; the item was noted as adopted by acclamation in the transcript.

Commissioners and staff also discussed actions to reduce double parking in commercial and residential areas. Staff described focusing first on existing loading and freight zones and using a system of color-coded curb markings to make allowable uses clearer: purple for freight loading, yellow for taxis, blue for accessible parking, green for motorcycles and red for fire lanes. Staff said the city is exploring app-based controls so that payment systems will not accept payment at restricted curb zones and plans to publish a training video that delivery companies and drivers can watch voluntarily. Delivery companies would be asked to sign a letter of attestation confirming drivers watched the video; staff said they already attempt to collect driver signatures as part of right-of-way permits in roughly 80% of permit situations.

Speakers described ongoing enforcement by parking enforcement officers and police, including regular parking citations and multiple enforcement details targeting repeat offenders. A public commenter who identified themselves as a founding member of the Art Deco Neighborhood Association urged stronger enforcement to protect quality-of-life on neighborhood streets. One commissioner thanked Commissioner Bont for leading the curb-marking and outreach effort.

Commissioners asked staff for follow-up. The transcript shows staff intends to return with additional material and a related resolution, but no firm timeline or formal next-step motion was recorded in the excerpt.
