Proposal

The City proposes to create incentives for residential development by offering increased floor area ratios and building heights in exchange for property owners voluntarily prohibiting short-term rentals and transient uses. This aims to encourage permanent residential housing in three areas: Mid Beach Collins Avenue, South Beach R-PS4 district, and West Avenue Bayfront Overlay.
