In a similar vein, I look forward to pursuing a goal of taller, much more ambitious development along our existing VMU corridors, including S. Lamar. Now that CodeNEXT is off the table and we’re starting the code rewrite from scratch, I think it’s clear at this stage that the current 60-foot height limit has proven nowhere near sufficient in terms of increasing the inner-city’s density levels, particularly absent anything but negligible density changes inside our core neighborhoods.
While building 50-story towers might be a bit much, mid-rise towers certainly wouldn’t be – and by that I mean the middle of 50, e.g. 22-25 story buildings along arterial roads. Can’t wait to get cracking on it!
