 Item 10.
COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM

TO: Land Use and Sustainability Committee

FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager

DATE: November 24, 2020
TITLE:DISCUSS ENACTING LIMITATIONS ON BIG BOX STORES ON LINCOLN ROAD

ACTION REQUESTED:
Discuss the item and provide appropriate policy direction.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss the item and continue to December 15, 2020, pending additional input from the Lincoln Road BID.

HISTORY:

On October 14, 2020, at the request of Commissioner Ricky Arriola, the subject discussion was referred to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC) by the City Commission (item C4L).

ANALYSIS:

Currently there are no interior size regulations for business establishments on Lincoln Road. Over the years there has been a balance of larger stores and smaller, boutique stores. However, given the uncertainty of the current economy, as well as the change in venue of larger spaces such as the Regal Cinema at Alton Road, regulations dealing with business sizes may be warranted.

At the request of the item sponsor, the administration has reached out to the Lincoln Road BID to obtain their input on this discussion item. Members of the administration have been invited to participate in the November 19, 2020 BID meeting and will provide a verbal update to the LUSC.

CONCLUSION:

Discuss and continue the item to December 15, 2020, pending additional input from the Lincoln Road BID.
