The Delray Beach City Commission met last week to hear from residents about regulating construction in the Lake Ida area. The Lake Ida Neighborhood Task Forced proposed that one-story houses can cover no more than 40% of the property, and multiple-story houses cover no more than 35%. Upper floors are to be no larger than 75% of the first floor area, giving a staggered appearance. The combined square footage of a multi-story house and other exterior structures, including garages and carports, can be no more than 35% of the area of the lot. For houses on the shores of Lake Ida, the ratio increases to 40%. The task force is concerned that certain “out of character” homes might be built in the neighborhood, some of them massive. There are 700+ homes in the Lake Ida neighborhood. Commission members voted to approve a city-initiated amendment to the land development regulations and a full and final public hearing is scheduled on June 17th.
