PLANNING ANALYSIS
At the December 11, 2017 LUDC, Mr. Brian Falk made a presentation regarding the Project for Lean Urbanism. Lean Urbanism and Pink Zones are ways to encourage small scale economic development. The Land Use Committee continued the item and requested that Mr. Falk provide a more detailed update and proposal tailored to incentivize small business.
The Administration met with Mr. Falk and is supportive of the Pink Zone concept in Miami Beach. In this regard, a defined area and/or type of use should be identified and further explored to see if a lean urbanism approach is suitable.
|
| | | | | | | | CONCLUSION:
The Administration recommends that the Land Use and Development Committee discuss the item and provide additional policy direction. If there is consensus on further studying the Pink Zone concept for application in the City, it is further recommended that the item be continued to a future LUDC meeting.
