Inter-Neighborhood Council - May 14, 2026
INC asked the City Commission to pause the new 90-foot downtown building height until the NCOD guidelines are finished. The Commission declined to even put it on an agenda, and reps are frustrated their recommendation never got a public debate. An August 25 work session on B-3 height and transitions is coming.
