RECOMMENDATION
The.Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the subject Ordinance.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
HISTORY
On February 23, 2022, (item R7B), the City Commission referred the subject Ordinance to the
Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC) and the Planning Board. The sponsor of the
proposal is Commissioner Ricky Arriola.
On April 8, 2022, the LUSC recommended that the Planning Board transmit the Ordinance to
the City Commission with a favorable recommendation. Additionally, the LUSC recommended
that the amendment be limited to the area bounded by Lincoln Lane North on the south, Alton
Road on the west, 17th Street on the north, and Washington Avenue on the east.
BACKGROUND
On March 17, 2021, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2021-31617, authorizing the
preparation of an RFP for mixed-use development incorporating Class A office space at three
City-owned sites along Lincoln Lane North as well as the 17th Street parking garage (G5). On
June 23, 2021, the Mayor and City Commission approved the issuance of Request for
Page 502 of 1232
Proposals (RFP) 2021-173-KB for mixed-use developments incorporating Class A office
space on City-owned parking lots P25, P26, P27, and parking garage G5. The RFP included
multiple site options for proposed development.
RFP responses were due and received on January 12, 2022. The City received proposals from
three (3)firms:
1. Infinity Collective LLC;
2. Lincoln Road Holdings LLC; and
3. Lincoln Road Property Owners, L.P.
On February 1, 2022, the Evaluation Committee reviewed and evaluated all proposals. Upon
review of the results of the Evaluation Committee and an assessment of the proposals, the City
Manager recommended that the Mayor and City Commission authorize the City Administration
to:
• Negotiate with Lincoln Road Property Owner, L.P., (a joint venture among Integra Investments,
Starwood Capital Group, and The Comras Company ("Integra") with regards to P25 and P26
(Option 5), and, if the.Administration is not successful in negotiating an agreement with Integra,
authorizing the Administration to negotiate with TPC; and
• Negotiate with Lincoln Road Holdings LLC (a joint venture among The Peebles Corporation,
Scott Robins Companies, Inc., and the Baron Corporation, aka "TPC") with regards to P27
(Option 3). Additionally, if the Administration is not successful in negotiating an agreement with
TPC, authorizing the Administration to negotiate with Integra regarding this option.
On February 23, 2022, via Resolution No. 2022-32054, the Mayor and City Commission accepted
the recommendation of the City Manager and authorized the Administration to negotiate with the
proposers.At present, negotiations concern only the following sites(see attached map):
• P25 (1680 LenoxAvenue)and P26(1080 Lincoln Lane North)combined.
• 1327(1664 Meridian Avenue).
ANALYSIS
PLANNING ANALYSIS
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment Ordinance is specific to the RFP proposals
for the Lincoln Lane North lots. The amendment modifies Policy RLU 1.1.17 of the Resilient
Land Use Element of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to allow for all types of residential uses,
including market rate housing, as part of mixed-use developments in the Public Facility
Government Uses (PF) future land use category. The amendment for market rate housing is
limited to those sites within the area bounded by Lincoln Lane North on the south, Alton Road
on the west, 17th Street on the north,and Washington Avenue on the east.
Currently only workforce and affordable housing types are permitted within the PF future land
use category. Workforce and Affordable Housing are able to utilize an 80% density bonus for
such units. Market rate housing cannot utilize this bonus, so the proposal does not increase the
maximum residential density beyond what is currently permitted. It is anticipated that providing
some market rate housing units would facilitate the inclusion of workforce or attainable housing
units as part of future mixed-use developments.
Page 503 of 1232
The proposal would also allow for the area to become more of a mixed-use neighborhood, with
offices, residential, retail, and restaurant uses, as it would encourage a true live, work, and play
type of development. The amendment is also intended to diversify the uses so that the City is
less reliant on solely tourism and begins to develop a better mix of uses that serves tourists,
residents, and the workforce.
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING REVIEW PROCESS
This referral includes a text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Under Section
163.3184(2), Florida Statutes, this amendment shall follow the expedited state review process
for adoption of comprehensive plan amendments. This process requires a public hearing by the
local planning agency (Planning Board), a public transmittal hearing before the City
Commission, after which the amendment must be transmitted to several state agencies for a 30-
day review period, and a final adoption public hearing before the City Commission. The
amendment is effective 31-days after it is adopted if there are no appeals.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
The Planning Board held a public hearing on April 26, 2022 and transmitted the Ordinance to
the City Commission with a favorable recommendation(7-0).
UPDATE
The subject Ordinance was approved at First Reading on May 4, 2022, and the Comprehensive
Plan Amendment was transmitted to all applicable review agencies. To date the City has not
received any concerns or objections; the Administration will update the City Commission if any
comments, concerns or objections are received prior to adoption on June 22, 2022.
