Proposal

The City proposes to create incentives for non-transient residential development along Lincoln Road West between Alton Road and Drexel Avenue by increasing allowable floor area ratios (FAR) and building heights. Properties would need to eliminate transient uses and commit to long-term residential rentals to qualify for these development bonuses.
