Through code enforcement successes and redevelopment efforts, the City has determined that the Shimberg data is no longer applicable to the current housing stock within the City. Code enforcement does not have any current cases of overcrowding or units lacking required facilities. Many of the reported substandard units were older, dilapidated buildings along Collins Avenue. All have been torn down and replaced with new condominiums and hotels. Therefore, the Shimberg Center's data on substandard housing is no longer applicable to Sunny Isles Beach. Identify the impacts of the issue. Assess whether the objectives of the plan that relate to the issue have been achieved. List the objectives in each element of the plan that relate to the issue (matrix format is recommended) . Recent redevelopment has not created and future redevelopment is not expected to create significant adverse local or regional impacts. The impacts and opportunities derived from future growth (infill and redevelopment) include, but are not limited to, maintaining levels of services, seeking specific agreements with other municipalities relative to the provision of affordable housing for the workforce within the City, increasing compact living and transit use, and focusing on promoting the highest and best use of the land. Sunny Isles Beach does not anticipate any substantial change in the existing residential land use density/intensity patterns over the next 10-15 years. How the City has implemented the objectives of each element of the 2000 Comprehensive Plan, as they relate to this issue is shown at the end of this chapter. Discuss whether there have been changes in circumstances that were not anticipated. Discuss whether these changes resulted in either problems or opportunities for the community. Identify actions, including plan amendments that are needed to address the issue. It is recommended that the Comprehensive Plan be amended to reflect the new growth management legislation, Senate Bill 360, relative to schools, roads, water resources, and affordable housing. Based upon recent building permit and development trends, the City also realizes that the housing figures in the Plan need to be adjusted to reflect current conditions. It is anticipated there would be enough residential land/units remaining in the City to accommodate future growth. Therefore, the issue of affordable housing should focus on looking at supporting services and facilities to address new household formation and changing demographics. The Housing Element should be revised accordingly. City of Sunny Isles Beach - 2005 Evaluation and Appraisal Report Rev. 9/15/2005 Page 17
