From a Delray Beach page on Facebook...

Height and Density issue in our downtown corridor.
The Planning and Zoning board at its November 18, 2013 meeting will address amendments to the LDR's section 4.4.13(D)..."Conditional Uses Allowed;" Section 4.4.13(F) "Development Standards," Section 4.4.13(I)(2) "Performance Standards" and Section 4.3.4 (J)(4) pertaining to density, height and the number of stories within the Central Business (CBD) District...

Contrary to what the advocates for height limits in our downtown tell you, Delray Beach really does not fit their definition of a low-rise city. They currently allow buildings up to 48 feet "by right", but can allow up to 60 feet as a conditional use. Apparently they will be re-examining this in the near future.
