COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Vice-Mayor Ricky Arriola 
DATE:July  17, 2019
 



SUBJECT:REFERRAL TO THE LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES FOR THE NORMANDY ISLE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

RECOMMENDATION

The 2016 North Beach Master Plan called for the redevelopment of the Normandy Isle commercial district. I ask the Land Use and Development Committee and our economic development department to explore ways to create a thriving commercial center for Normandy Isle. I also ask our economic development staff to reach out to the surrounding property owners to gauge what kind of incentives would motivate them to redevelop their properties into a space that enhances the community and pedestrian experience.

Attached are the relevant pages from the master plan about the area. The plan contemplates the transformation of Maimonides from a service alley to an active paseo with active ground-floor retail. The plan states that office and residential use above the ground floor is "critical to the success of ground floor retail in Normandy Isles."
