Barrier Island Development & Height Limits
The city is considering placing a ballot measure to remove floor area ratio (FAR) and accessory use restrictions from Charter Section 11.01 for properties east of the Intracoastal Waterway. While officials emphasized that building height limits (45 feet commercial, 55 feet multifamily) will remain untouched, residents feared it would invite overdevelopment and destroy the seaside village character.
