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.

Staff Recommendation
Review the proposed ordinances and continue to May 6, 2025 Planning Board meeting after community outreach

Conditions:

  • All existing transient uses must be fully vacated and prohibited
  • Only non-transient residential units permitted above first floor
  • Minimum micro-mobility component required within structure
  • Restrictive covenant required prohibiting rentals less than 6 months and 1 day
  • Off-street parking prohibited for maximum height incentives
  • Participation in public micro-mobility network required
  • Historic Preservation Board approval required for contributing buildings
  • Minimum setbacks required for portions above 50 feet in height

Compliance Findings:

✓ Concurrency: Satisfied ✗ Sea Level Rise: Addressed ✗ Comprehensive Plan: Consistent ✗ Land Development Regulations: Compliant
Key Issues
  • Potential increase of 797 residential units and 2,048 residents
  • Infrastructure impacts including 479 additional peak hour vehicle trips
  • Need for water, sewer, and transportation network upgrades
  • Requirement for community outreach meeting before transmittal
