This survey aims to collect a range of perspectives in advance of the referendums on the November 5 ballot pertaining to increased density and transfer of development rights in order to realize a more charming and vibrant downtown Vero Beach for residents and visitors alike.

NOTE: The density increase is restricted to a handful of core downtown blocks on the map below -- specifically, those contained within the red lines, often referred to as the downtown district walkable core. 14th Avenue is highlighted in blue, park spaces in green, retail and restaurants in pink, municipal and other locations in black. This map does not include all businesses, just a sampling to help with orientation.

The questions are designed to be inclusive and encourage detailed responses, providing a comprehensive understanding of community sentiment. Your responses will help us shape forthcoming interactive community events over the next several weeks, including downtown walking and tasting tours, panel discussions with experts, informational ZOOM calls, etc. All survey results (excluding personal information, of course) will be made available to the public.

Approximate completion time: 4 minutes
