Proposal

The City proposes to create incentives for non-transient residential development along Lincoln Road between Drexel Avenue and Collins Avenue by increasing maximum floor area ratio from 2.75 to 3.5 and allowing increased building heights up to 150 feet on the south side and 125 feet on the north side. The proposal aims to encourage permanent residential development and discourage short-term rentals to help restore the City's declining permanent resident population.

• All existing transient uses must be fully vacated and prohibited

• All contributing structures must be retained and restored as required by historic preservation board
• Restrictive covenant required prohibiting rentals less than 6 months and 1 day
