WILTON MANORS — On January 8, the Wilton Manors City Commission voted unanimously to eliminate the parking requirement for new retail establishments along Wilton Drive, within the City’s popular Arts and Entertainment District.

Additionally, retail businesses that locate in existing buildings in the City’s Transit-Oriented Corridors (Dixie Highway, NE 11 Avenue, NE 13 Avenue and portions of NE 26 Street) will not have to provide additional parking, and businesses within the City’s Transit-Oriented Corridors that expand buildings will have parking requirements that are significantly reduced.

“As policy makers, we know that incentives to encourage retail diversity and a ‘Shop Local First’ attitude enhance the commercial landscape and contribute to a thriving economy,” said Vice Mayor Julie Carson.
