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 (FAR) from 2.75 to 3.5 and height limits up to 150 feet on the south side and 125 feet on the north side. The proposal aims to encourage permanent residential uses and discourage short-term rentals to help restore the City's declining permanent resident population.

Staff Recommendation

Conditions:

• All existing transient uses must be fully vacated and prohibited
• Only non-transient residential units permitted above first floor
• Restrictive covenant required with 6/7 vote to reverse
• All contributing structures must be retained and restored
• FAR and height incentives only apply to projects with building permit by September 1, 2030
• At least one public benefit required (transit shelter, public benefits fund contribution, or 24-month permit timeline)

Compliance Findings:

Key Issues
