Proposal
The City proposes to create incentives for 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 and commit to long-term residential leases of 6+ months to qualify for the incentives.
