Sunny Isles Beach Marina Property Rev 10-10-06 elsewhere in the City and creates a unique product/or the City. All o/this can be accomplished only with the requested variances which are in harmony with that general intent and purpose as stated above. Public safety and welfare will not be detrimentally affected by the approval 0/ the requested variances and the proposed project will in all likelihood enhance property values within the vicinity. VI. Department Analysis a. Zoning The property is located along the southern edge of Sunny Isles Beach Boulevard. The lot is approximately 639 feet in length and the width ranges from 159 feet on the east end to 226 feet on the west end. Due to the relatively narrow width of the property and the request by the Miami- Dade Fire Department to provide fire access on the west side, the applicant cannot reasonably achieve the setback and height requirements while achieving the permitted FAR. Staff views the height request and setback requests as not detrimental to the adjoining properties, since the requests are minor in nature. The property to the east is owned by W ASA and contains an existing water treatment plant. To the west is an existing restaurant that will not be impacted by the requested variances. The proposed view corridors are maintained by the building design and are actually increased since the separation between the two towers exceeds the minimum 50 feet (57 feet proposed) and the width of the towers have each been reduced by 8 feet from a maximum permitted 200 feet to 192 feet. Additionally, there is a 136 foot view corridor at the east portion of the property due to the dry dock marina proposed in this location. b. Planning The proposed development is consistent with and furthers the intent of the Town Center Land Use designation of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Town Center is intended to be a moderate to high intensity design-unified area which will contain a concentration of different urban functions integrated both horizontally and vertically. The project proposes a mix of residential, retail, restaurant/spa and marina uses. The proposed mixed use development is in furtherance of the goals and objectives contained within the City's Comprehensive Plan. VII. Art in Public Places The intent of this chapter is to promote and encourage private funding programs to further the development and public awareness of and interest in the arts and cultural assets. It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the general welfare through balancing the community's physical growth and revitalization and its cultural and artistic resources through private funding of works of art.
