Summary
The City of Delray Beach is considering amendments to its Land Development Regulations (LDR) through Ordinance No. 20-26, aiming to modify the Mixed Industrial and Commercial (MIC) District. This legislation would designate gunite and concrete products manufacturing as conditional uses, specifically for properties north of Atlantic Avenue, and includes regulations to mitigate environmental impacts. These amendments respond to a request from Calabash Gunite, Inc., which seeks compliance for its operations at 135 N. Congress Avenue after being previously deemed a code violation. The changes will affect local industrial businesses, potentially allowing more concrete production while aiming to balance economic growth with community well-being and addressing pollution concerns.
