Conceptual Site Narrative:
20,330.80 SF Mixed-Use Development Site. Prime Infill Mixed-Use Site | Atlantic Ave & 11th–12th Avenues | Delray Beach, FL.
This ±20,330.80 SF (±0.47 AC) land assemblage along West Atlantic Avenue represents a rare, highly visible infill opportunity within Delray Beach’s Central Business District (CBD), West Atlantic Neighborhood sub-district. The site offers dual corner exposure at NW 11th Avenue and W. 12th Avenue with continuous Atlantic Avenue frontage, creating excellent identity and access for a future mixed-use project.
Planning / Zoning Framework (CBD – General Commercial / West Atlantic Neighborhood)
Zoning: CBD – Central Business District, West Atlantic Neighborhood sub-district (General Commercial context).
Density & FAR – Conceptual Assumptions
3.1 Code-based density framework (du/ac)
From the CBD dimensional table (West Atlantic Neighborhood column):
Base residential density: 12 du/acre in the West Atlantic Neighborhood CBD sub-district, with a note referencing the CBD Incentive Program for potential density increases.
On this ±0.47-acre site (±20,330.80 SF): Base CBD density (12 du/ac) ˜ 5–6 units.
CBD incentive provisions may allow increases (e.g., toward 30 du/ac, subject to program criteria and approvals).
Uses by right / principally permitted (per CBD table):
General retail and service uses “as in GC district” (excluding big-box style auto parts, lawn equipment, etc.)
Business, professional, and medical office, Multiple-family dwellings, Live/work units, Hotels / inns, assisted living / senior housing (as permitted in CBD)
Form controls (CBD generally):
Max building height 4 stories / 54 feet outside the Atlantic Avenue Limited Height Area (this West Atlantic site is outside the limited-height core).
Urban setbacks (10–15 ft along streets), minimal side/rear setbacks, strong frontage requirements to reinforce a walkable main-street pattern.
Within the West Atlantic Neighborhood sub-district, sidewalk-level frontage on Atlantic is intended to be activated with retail and service uses, with upper floors transitioning to residential and office, consistent with the City’s West Atlantic revitalization goals.
