I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Changes in Urban Infill and Redevelopment Areas Development of land has been compatible with the goals, policies and objectives of the 2000 Comprehensive Plan and has not created an adverse impact on the basic infrastructure. The City of Sunny Isles Beach is relatively built-out; therefore, redevelopment and infill development are the main focus of development possibilities. Further development along Collins Avenue was specifically identified by in the Plan as the corridor in which redevelopment and infill development should be encouraged The Future Land Use Designation of this area is Mixed-Use - High Density/Resort. This indicates that the 2000 Comprehensive Plan was anticipating large-scale future development and provided the Mixed-Use category so that redevelopment could be easily accommodated. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that based on future population estimates, the existing infrastructure will be adequate. However, based on the number of new condominium units proposed, this will have to be reevaluated since the future population is not consistent with the proposed development. The City is well served by transportation alternatives, such as bus services and a community shuttle. These services may need to be expanded with the increase in residents and visitors. A number of the projects are resorts and condo/hotels. This will bring more tourists to the area, which will result in higher revenues for the City. Another tool the City has incorporated to promote redevelopment is a Town Center Overlay District on Sunny Isles Beach Boulevard and the west side of Collins Avenue. The intent of the overlay district is to create mixed-use development, pedestrian oriented environments and to encourage regionally oriented businesses within the area designated as the Town Center by the Comprehensive Plan. The City of Sunny Isles Beach has taken a proactive stance on redevelopment and infill development by utilizing the Mixed-Use Future Land Use Designation and creating a Town Center Overlay district, which are expected to encourage high quality developments and economic opportunities. Further development opportunities within the Collins Avenue Corridor made possible by the Mixed-Use Land Use Designation and the use of public transportation will be vital to the revitalization of the City.
