Downtown Master Plan

A Vision for the West Atlantic Neighborhood



The Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan includes the West Atlantic Neighborhood, with a Vision that supports:
  • Creation of a distinctive gateway feature that welcomes visitors and identifies the West Atlantic area as the entrance to downtown Delray Beach

  • New development with buildings fronting the street and parking in the rear

  • Affordable housing to minimize displacement of residents

  • Strategies for maintaining affordable rental rates and purchase prices on commercial properties to support locally owned businesses

  • Revitalization of NW/SW 5th Avenue, with the creation of a public plaza at the Atlantic Avenue intersection

  • Neighborhood pocket parks to provide quiet retreats for relaxing and unwinding outdoors

  • Continued beautification of Atlantic Avenue with installation of attractive medians, shade trees, and pedestrian amenities
