| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND/HISTORY
| HISTORY
On February 23, 2022, (item R7B), the City Commission referred the subject Ordinance Amendment 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.
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 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 Lenox Avenue) and P26 (1080 Lincoln Lane North) combined.
• P27 (1664 Meridian Avenue).

| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| PLANNING ANALYSIS
The proposed Ordinance is specific to the RFP proposals for the Lincoln Lane North lots and amends Chapter 130 of the Land Development Regulations (LDR’s) of the City Code pertaining to certain developments on city owned land in parking district no. 2. Parking district no. 2 is composed of those properties with a lot line on Lincoln Road from the west side of Washington Avenue to the east side of Alton Road, and those properties north of Lincoln Road and south of 17th Street from the west side of Washington Avenue to the east side of Lenox Court.
The proposed amendment creates a new parking requirement for designated accessory off-street public parking spaces for projects on city-owned land in parking district no. 2. Specifically, for projects approved pursuant to a development agreement, public parking spaces are required, at up to 200% of the otherwise required parking spaces for the project.
The intent of this regulation is to ensure that, at a minimum, the existing public parking spaces on the existing surface lots will be replaced within the parking garage of the mixed-use development. Since the public parking would now be required, the replacement parking spaces, as well as additional public parking spaces (not to exceed 200% of the otherwise required parking for the private uses), can be provided as an exception to FAR.
Additionally, the proposal creates the ability for developments in parking districts 2 and 3 to provide additional parking spaces in accordance with the minimum requirements set forth in parking district no. 1, without having to count those spaces in the FAR calculations. Currently, retail and restaurant use have no parking requirements in parking districts 2 and 3 and this proposal would allow developments the option of providing parking for restaurant and retail uses without counting such spaces in the available FAR for the site.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
The Planning Board is scheduled to hold a public hearing on April 26, 2022 and transmit the Ordinance to the City Commission with a recommendation. The Administration will update the City Commission on the Planning Board recommendation at the Commission meeting.
