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 and commit to long-term residential rentals to qualify for these development bonuses.

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 within structure accessible by all residents
  • Restrictive covenant requiring minimum 6 months + 1 day rental terms
  • 6/7 vote required to reverse covenants
  • Off-street parking prohibited for maximum height incentives
  • Participation in public micro-mobility network required

Compliance Findings:

✓ Concurrency: Satisfied ✗ Sea Level Rise: Addressed ✗ Comprehensive Plan: Consistent ✗ Land Development Regulations: Compliant
Key Issues
  • Loss of permanent residents due to conversion to short-term rentals
  • Traffic impacts from increased development density
  • Infrastructure capacity for water, sewer, and transportation
  • Compatibility with historic district character
  • Need for community outreach before final approval
