PB25-0812, ALTON CITY CENTER OVERLAY - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT.

The following summaries were generated by AI from the official documents linked below. They may contain errors. Please refer to the original documents for authoritative information.

Proposal

The City proposes creating the Alton City Center Overlay to incentivize residential development in the area between Lincoln Road and 17th Street from West Avenue to Alton Road. The proposal would allow increased height (150 feet), density (150 units per acre), and floor area ratio (3.5) for mixed-use projects with substantial residential components to address the loss of permanent residents in Miami Beach.

Staff Recommendation
