Inter-Neighborhood Council - Mar 12, 2026
The INC is asking the City Commission to temporarily pause large projects in the downtown NCOD — including rolling back the 90-foot height allowance in the B-3 halo district — while the NCOD design guidelines and Local Landmark Program are rewritten. A neighborhood survey found about 85% support for a one-year pause. The commission makes the final decision and would hold a public hearing first.
