Proposal

The City proposes to create incentives for non-transient residential development along Lincoln Road between Drexel Avenue and Collins Avenue by increasing maximum FAR from 2.75 to 3.5, increasing height limits up to 150 feet on the south side and 125 feet on the north side, and eliminating parking requirements. The goal is to encourage permanent residential uses and discourage short-term rentals to help reverse the City's population decline.

Staff Recommendation

Conditions:

• All existing transient uses must be fully vacated and prohibited
• Only non-transient residential units permitted above first floor
• Discontinuance of any nonconforming entertainment establishment
• FAR and height incentives only apply to projects with building permit or business tax receipt by September 1, 2030
• All contributing structures must be retained and restored
• Restrictive covenant required prohibiting rentals less than 6 months and 1 day
• 6/7 vote required to reverse covenants

Compliance Findings:

Key Issues

• Population decline from 87,779 in 2010 to 82,890 in 2020
• Conversion of residential units to short-term rentals
• Traffic congestion from workers commuting longer distances
• Infrastructure impacts from increased density
• Historic preservation requirements
