Proposal
The City proposes zoning incentives to encourage non-transient residential development along Lincoln Road west of Drexel Avenue by increasing allowed floor area ratios (FAR) and building heights. Properties would need to eliminate transient uses like hotels and short-term rentals to qualify for the incentives, aimed at increasing Miami Beach's permanent resident population.

Only non-transient residential units permitted above first floor

Participation in public micro-mobility network required

Minimum setbacks required for portions above 50 feet in height
