Proposal

The City proposes to create incentives for non-transient residential development along Lincoln Road West between Alton Road and Drexel Avenue by increasing allowed floor area ratios (FAR) and building heights. Properties would need to eliminate existing transient uses and commit to permanent residential use only through restrictive covenants.

  • Off-street parking prohibited for maximum height incentives
  • Participation in public micro-mobility network required
  • Building permits must be obtained by September 1, 2032
