· Address the concern for special needs housing and provide government assistance to people displaced by the redevelopment efforts of private projects. · Identify historically significant housing. Currently, Sunny Isles Beach is attracting quality and diverse condominium and mixed- use projects throughout the Collins Avenue corridor, Some of these projects include the Trump Royale Condo and the Trump Palace Condo, with 278 units within each building, As for the existing housing stock, while some units may need to be rehabilitated, most of the existing housing stock in Sunny Isles Beach has been consistently well maintained and is in basically sound condition with no or very little substandard condition, A 1990 inventory of housing substandard units using U.S, Census data and reported by the Florida Housing Data Clearinghouse (University of Florida, Shimberg Center) showed 626 units that were substandard. The 2000 Shimberg data indicates that there were 1,410 substandard units. However, the City has committed to address any deficiency through Community Development Programs and Code Enforcement. The numbers reported in the 2000 Census represented many of the aging condominiums and apartments. All of the older, dilapidated buildings along Collins Avenue have been torn down and replaced with new condominiums and hotels. Therefore, the Shimberg data regarding substandard units is no longer applicable to Sunny Isles Beach, As of 2000, there were approximately 12,976 housing units within the City. As indicated in Table 3,10, the largest numbers of housing are contained in multi-family structures with 20 or more units. There are less than 500 detached single-family homes, which are not anticipated to increase greatly, due to the fact that the single-family lots have been built-out. Any new construction will only be small infill development. In contrast, the multi-family structures with 20 or more units will see a large increase as more redevelopment projects are underway along the Collins Avenue corridor.
