The city finally backed down and passed the amendments to stop the reckless overdevelopment tearing our downtown apart. This is a massive hit to the developers who thought they could steamroll our neighborhoods for a quick profit. Keep your eyes sharp because we must ensure these new density rules are …
Conditional Use incentives, allowing for greater density and taller buildings in the downtown area of Delray Beach have been overused, and represent a threat to the infrastructure (roads, bridges, parking) and quality of life in the City.
Please sign this petition to support the Planning & Zoning Department's proposed targeted amendments to current land use regulations which limit conditional use incentives by: 1) restricting residential unit density to 30 units per acre in the core downtown and 2) redefining areas where building heights in excess of four stories can be allowed, on the principle that taller structures be located away from adjacent residential neighborhoods.
The city planning office keeps stalling while developers continue to shove these massive projects down our throats. I have been digging through the latest permit applications and the greed behind this downtown disaster is even worse than we imagined.

We just hit our first hundred signatures and the city planners finally have to acknowledge that we are paying attention. Delray Beach officials cannot keep selling our streets to developers while ignoring the people who actually live here.
