Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final September 10, 2024 building height concerns. He emphasized that this opportunity was significant and that unconventional approaches might be necessary to move forward. Commissioner Moss noted that the area in question was not large-scale, and the request from DTS was only for an increase in hotel height. She was open to having further discussion. Vice Chairman Flescher pointed out that Indian River County was known as a sunrise county, not a high-rise county. While there had been exceptions, he believed DTS should adhere to the current height limits. Chairman Adams proposed incorporating affordable housing into the development as a way to waive the height limit. It was the consensus of the Board to authorize staff and the applicant to proceed with the formal amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations. I. Public Works J.
