Proposal

The City proposes to create incentives for residential development and conversion of transient uses (hotels, short-term rentals) to permanent residential housing in three areas: Mid Beach Collins Avenue, South Beach Ocean Drive, and West Avenue Bayfront Overlay. Property owners would receive increased floor area ratio and height allowances in exchange for voluntarily prohibiting short-term rentals and transient uses in perpetuity.

Staff Recommendation

Conditions:

• Property must fully vacate all existing transient uses
• Property owner must vacate all short-term rental approvals
• Execute restrictive covenant prohibiting rentals less than 6 months and 1 day
• Prohibit all transient uses in perpetuity
• Obtain certificate of appropriateness if in historic district

Compliance Findings:

Key Issues

• Population loss of permanent residents
• Conversion of residential units to short-term rentals
• Traffic congestion from workers commuting from suburbs
• Nuisances from transient uses in residential areas
• State law limitations on regulating short-term rentals
• Modest increases in development intensity
