III. LAND USE ANALYSIS <br /> The municipal boundaries of Sunny Isles Beach encompass 1.4 square miles of land and <br /> 1.2 square miles of water in northeastern Miami-Dade County. The City is bounded: by <br /> the Atlantic Ocean to the east; unincorporated Miami-Dade County (Haulover Park) to the <br /> south; Biscayne Bay. the City of North Miami Beach, and the City of Aventura to the west, <br /> and; the Town of Golden Beach to the north. North-South access to the City is provided <br /> via Collins Avenue, while east-west access is provided via the William Lehman Causeway <br /> and NW 163rd Street Causeway. Sunny Isles Beach is substantially built-out with a very <br /> limited supply of vacant/developable land and limited opportunities to expand through the <br /> annexation of additional lands contiguous to its boundaries. <br /> The City of Sunny Isles Beach's Future Land Use Map represents the City's vision for its <br /> development and redevelopment during the short- (5 years), mid- (10 years), and long- <br /> range (15+ years) planning periods. The Future Land Use Map and designations serve <br /> as the foundation for the more detailed Land Development Regulations. These <br /> regulations and plans must be consistent with and further the implementation of the <br /> Future Land Use Element and its goals, objectives and policies. The City's Future Land <br /> Use Map is shown on Map 1, and detailed by permitted use, density and intensity, and <br /> acreage on Table 5 below. Development and redevelopment in the City has occurred in <br /> conformance with the Future Land Use Plan Map, as it may be amended from time to <br /> time. <br /> Table 5.
