Mayor Levy stated he wants a change in the language that the requestor will be obligated to pay a fee that is equal to the current cost of constructing a parking space, instead of a fixed amount. Dr. Wazir Ishmael, City Manager, stated the first step is that the application goes through our Planning Division and there is a fee associated with it. However, the way the ordinance is currently written, the fee is very low, but there is also discretion in the language for the City Commission to vote on. Mayor Levy stated that he would review the language and suggested staff review the ordinance, and if needed for the language to be updated. Commissioner Biederman, Commissioner Callari and Commissioner Gruber supported the request. Parking Shacks Mayor Levy stated in planning for the City in the future and in skimming through a planning book, he came across Parking Shacks, which is a bad word but basically means that if you’re in an urban place where parking does not exist on every parcel, then centralized parking and community parking in centralized public parking is another way of parking in the neighborhood. Instead of having a bunch of asphalt with lots of parking on the beach, you would have parking garages. This kind of money would go into a fund where we can build more parking spaces City of Hollywood Page 14 Regular City Commission Meeting Meeting Minutes June 16, 2021 accordingly.
