Board approves parking-reduction exception for duplex at 506 SW 8th Ave
Summary
The board approved a staff-recommended exception allowing a 100% parking reduction (applicant provided one spot) for a two-unit duplex at 506 SW 8th Ave, citing the lot's substandard frontage and proximity (≈0.25 mile) to transit; vote was 6–0.
Planning staff presented an exception request that allows a 100% reduction in required parking for a two-unit duplex proposed at 506 SW 8th Ave. Planner Darren Murphy said the structure would total about 3,002 square feet and is within a transit overlay, with the nearest bus stop roughly a three-minute walk away.
The applicant's representative, Alex Hudibo, said the lot's narrow 39‑foot frontage and an irregular rear jog make only one on-site parking space feasible. "One parking space is all that fits here," Hudibo told the board, adding the owner sought to keep the development compatible with the neighborhood and rely on nearby on‑street parking and the Miami Parking Authority for supplemental spaces. Board members noted the policy (TR 1.2.04) allowing reduced parking within 0.25 mile of transit. The board voted on staff's recommendation and the roll call recorded a 6–0 approval.
