Summary
The City of Delray Beach is considering Ordinance No. 10-26, which seeks to amend its Land Development Regulations, particularly concerning nonconforming lots. This legislation aims to remove the definition of "nonconforming lots of record" and facilitate the redevelopment of previously developed nonconforming lots, particularly in the Northwest and Southwest neighborhoods. By eliminating certain relief procedures and allowing the establishment of "Legacy Properties," the ordinance intends to ease restrictions on property owners, promoting the development of both workforce and market-rate housing. Key changes include new design requirements for affordable housing and reduced setback standards. This ordinance affects current and prospective property owners, aiming to enhance housing availability and support local development goals.
