2016 OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS REPORT
I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida's Riviera, is a vibrant oceanfront community
located in northeastern Miami-Dade County. Initially planned as a tourist resort by
investor Harvey B. Graves in 1920, early development in Sunny Isles Beach was
characterized by low rise oceanfront motels along Collins Avenue to the east and single
family development to the west. By the 1990s, many of the oceanfront motels and
commercial development along Collins Avenue had become obsolete and/or in need of
redevelopment. Since its incorporation on June 16, 1997, the City has experienced
significant redevelopment, with new high-rise hotels and condominiums replacing most
of the low-rise oceanfront motels.
The City of Sunny Isles Beach's Comprehensive Plan (the "Plan") is its blueprint for
existing and future development. The Plan's goals, objectives and policies reflect the
City's vision for its future, and for how it will meet the needs of existing and future
residents, visitors and businesses. The City's original Comprehensive Plan provided the
foundation for the dramatic growth and redevelopment that has occurred since
incorporation. Moving forward, the Plan should be amended to reflect the redevelopment
that has occurred, along with a current vision for moving forward.
The Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) is a State-mandated assessment of the
Comprehensive Plan to ensure that all current State statutory requirements are being
met. Beyond this requirement, the EAR also provides an opportunity to ensure that the
Plan and its goals, objectives and policies reflect the City's vision for its future, and the
work accomplished in other planning efforts. In order to be effective, the Plan must be a
living document, one with the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions and needs.
Periodically, the City needs to step back and take a holistic look at how well the Plan is
working, and how it might be refined to address community-specific issues and
challenges. The EAR provides this opportunity.
In December 2014 the City of Sunny Isles Beach provided the State of Florida Department
of Economic Opportunities with its Evaluation and Appraisal Letter and Statutory Changes
Checklist identifying amendments necessary to address changes in State growth
management requirements. Based on this review, the following potential amendments
were identified:
• Update the Comprehensive Plan's planning horizons as per Chapter
163.3177(5)(a);
• Amend the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to include a mandatory
dispute resolution process (Chapter 163.3177(6)(h)1.c.;
• Amend the Capital Improvements Element to provide an updated five-year
schedule that complies with the provisions of Chapter 163.3177(3)(a)4, and;
• Amend the Transportation and Capital Improvements elements to comply with
Chapter 163.3180(5)(h).
In order to identify additional potential amendments, the City conducted an extensive
community visioning process. This process is outlined in the Public Participation
1
Summa section of this report. A series of additional recommendations for
Summary p
Comprehensive Plan amendments were made as a result of this process. These
recommendations, along with the amendments identified to address new statutory
requirements and updated baseline data and analysis, are the foundation for the City's
2015 EAR amendments.

II. POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS
Population projections are an important component of local comprehensive plans, and
other planning efforts. They provide the statistical framework for the future development
and redevelopment, and for projecting the ability to provide key infrastructure and
services at adopted levels. The population of the City of Sunny Isles Beach is projected
to increase slightly during the short, mid and long range planning periods, as documented
in the following analysis.
It is important to note that the projections are not predictions of the future. Projections
are simply an extrapolation of past trends coupled with knowledge of the residential
capacity of the area. They assume that past trends provide some indication of the likely
range of futures for the community. They assume that there will be no major disasters,
such as hurricanes, floods, or prolonged droughts. They assume that government and
other agencies will continue to maintain and expand urban infrastructure and services as
needed. The planning process calls for ongoing monitoring of urban change and the
projections may be amended as future conditions warrant.
In 2012, the Florida Legislature adopted Section 163.3177, Florida Statutes, which
specifies that"absent physical limitations on population growth, population projections for
each municipality, and the unincorporated area with a county, must, at a minimum be
reflective of each area's proportional share of the total county population and the total
county population growth". The Florida Office of Demographic and Economic Research's
published medium population projections for Miami-Dade County are detailed in Table II-
1. below. In 2014, .83 percent of Miami-Dade County's population resided in Sunny Isles
Beach, a proportionate share expected to remain stable through the planning period.
Sunny Isles Beach's 2014 population of 21,698 residents makes it the 15th largest City in
Miami-Dade County. At only 1.4 square miles in land area, it is one of the most densely
populated municipalities in the County.

Table 2 below identifies key demographic information for the City of Sunny Isles Beach
based on the 2013 American Community Survey.2 The total population of the City was
21,167 persons in 2013. A total of 10,498 (50%) of these persons were male and 10,669
(50%) were female. In terms of age, 2,513 (12%) were under 18, while 6,166 (29%) were

The 2010 Census3 provides key information about households and housing. As can be
seen in Table 3 below, there were a total of 18,984 residential units in the City in 2010.
3 US Census Bureau,Census 2010

A total of 8,751 (46%) of these units were vacant; of the vacant units, 5,729 (65%) were
used for seasonal, recreational or occasional use4. If the number of occupied units is
compared to the total population, it can be estimated that the average household size in
the City is 2.04 persons per household. A total of 5,016 of the occupied units were owner-
occupied (49%), while 5,217 (51%) were renter-occupied.

Table 4 also includes income and employment information for the City and at the County,
State and national levels for 2013, based on the American Community Survey. As can
be seen, the median household income is close to the median household income at the
County, State and national levels. The unemployment rate in Sunny Isles Beach (4.7%)
was also lower than the unemployment rates of the County, State and nation in 2010,
while the poverty rate (15.1%) mirrored the national poverty level. The poverty level, as
measured by the U.S. Census Bureau, identifies households with incomes that fall at or
below a threshold established to identify,the extremely poor for a variety of assistance
programs.

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

As noted in Chapter II., the average household size in the City is 2.04 persons per
household. At maximum buildout under the Future Land Use Map, the City could
accommodate a total population of 48,921, more than enough to address the projected
population through the planning period (23,141 in 2020, 25,362 in 2030, and 27,059 in
2040). There are currently 18,984 units in Sunny Isles Beach, indicating the potential to
build up to 8,875 additional units.
Table 5. indicates a potential non-residential space buildout of 20,663,882 sq. ft., or
almost 1,000 sq. ft. per resident based on the current population. Excluding the Mixed
Use/High Density Resort category, which is presumed to serve tourists, there are 69.89
acres of commercial or mixed use lands designated on the Future Land Use Map,
comprising 12.35% of the City's total acreage, with a maximum buildout potential of
6,088,816 sq. ft. This translates to three acres per 1,000 residents, or approximately 300
sq. ft. per person based on the current population. Input received during the public
involvement process indicates a need for additional commercial development targeted to
residents, such as neighborhood retail. Redevelopment of the Town Center and
neighborhood retail areas proximate to residential neighborhood present opportunities to
expand the City's stock of neighborhood serving commercial uses.

"Housing cost burden", defined as the percent of a household's income that is used to
pay for housing costs, is frequently used as a measure for determining whether or not
housing is affordable. According to federal housing program guidelines, housing costs
should not exceed 30 percent of a household's income in order to be considered
affordable. The homeownership rate in Sunny Isles Beach is 48.5%, compared to 55.9%
in Miami-Dade County and 67.6% in the State. Among the 5,089 homeowner households
in the City, 851 (16%) pay between 30 and 50% of their income and 2,002 (39%) pay
10
over 50% of their income for housing costs. Among the 5,414 renter households in the
City, 1,154 (21%) pay between 30 and 50% and 1,606 (30%) pay over 50% of their
monthly income for rent. Therefore, 55% of the City's homeowner households and 51%
of its renter households are cost burdened, indicating a continued need for more
affordable housing options.

The two largest costs borne by American households are housing (32% of income), and
transportation (19% of income). Providing increased affordable and workforce housing
opportunities proximate to transit is therefore key to reducing cost burdens and increasing
economic opportunities for all households. The Center for Neighborhood Technology
has developed an index to gauge the linkage between housing and transportation
affordability for communities throughout the U.S. According to this resource, the average
household in Sunny Isles Beach spends 65% of their income on housing and
transportation costs, and spends $9,455 annually for transportation. Out of a scale of 1
to 10, in comparison to other neighborhoods in the U.S., Sunny Isles Beach received 4.6
11
for job access, 7.5 for transit access, and 8.9 for high density and walkable

V. INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICE CAPACITY
Hard infrastructure is defined as an interconnected physical network or system for the
provision and delivery of essential commodities or services. At the local level, hard
infrastructure includes the: multi-modal transportation network; potable water treatment
and collection system; sanitary sewer collection and treatment system; solid waste
collection and disposal system, and; stormwater drainage system. Soft infrastructure
refers to institutions and facilities necessary to maintain community standards, the
economy, and quality of life. At the local level, soft infrastructure includes parks and
schools.
This Chapter addresses the capacity of the City's hard infrastructure system, with the
exception of the multimodal transportation system and potable water, which are
respectively addressed in the concurrent Transportation Master Plan and Water Supply
Plan efforts. It also addresses the capacity of parks and schools. In order to maintain
the physical capacity of its infrastructure systems, the City of Sunny Isles Beach has
adopted Level of Service Standards in the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development
Code. The City ensures that these standards are met through: Concurrency
Management, which requires that the infrastructure needed to serve new development
and redevelopment is in place prior to or at the time development; capital improvement
projects, and; coordination with other service providers, such as Miami-Dade County and
Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
A. Sanitary Sewer
The City's adopted Level of Service Standard for sanitary sewer is that the Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant shall operate with a physical capacity no less than the
annual average daily flow. The City is served by Miami-Dade County's North District
Wastewater Treatment Plant, which has a capacity of 120.09 million gallons per day, and
a current average daily flow of 86.27 million gallons per day. The City does not anticipate
any issues with meeting its Sanitary Sewer Level of Service Standard due to projected
population growth during the planning period.
B. Solid Waste
The City's adopted Level of Service Standard for solid waste is that the County shall
maintain a disposal capacity sufficient to accommodate waste for a minimum of five years.
The City's solid waste is disposed at the North Dade Landfill. According to Miami-Dade
County's Department of Solid Waste Management, the North Dade Landfill has adequate
capacity through 2020.
C. Drainage
The City's Level of Service Standard for stormwater drainage is protection from the
degree of flooding that would result for a duration of one day from a ten-year storm event.
The City maintains its stormwater drainage system through its Public Works Department,
13
in accordance with Chapter 235, "Stormwater Management", of its Code of Ordinances.
The City, through its development approval process and capital improvement program,
requires and/or implements project to maintain the standard. The City also participates in
the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Community Rating System,
which allows residents to receive discounts on federal flood insurance. The City's current
rating under this program is seven out of ten
D. Parks
The City's adopted Level of Service Standard for parks is 2.75 acres of local parks and
recreation areas per 1,000 residents. The City currently operates a system of 11 parks
encompassing 21.8 acres, and has 98.07 acres of public beaches. In order to meet its
Level of Service Standard based on the current population of 21,698, 59.67 acres are
required. In order to accommodate the projected 2020 population of 23,141, 63.64 acres
will be required. In order to accommodate the 2030 population of 25,362, 69.75 acres
will be required. It is therefore anticipated that the City will continue to meet its Parks
Level of Service Standard through the planning period.
The City is currently setting a standard calling for at least one City park within a % mile
radius (walking distance) of all residential areas by 2030. Map 2. depicts a '/4 mile radius
around the 12 existing City parks in order to indicate the extent to which this standard is
currently being met. As can be seen, several areas would not meet this standard at
present, including a band roughly between 186 Street and 189 Street and extending from
• the Ocean to the Bay in the northern half of the City and the westernmost tips of some of
the residential islands in the southern half of the City. The City is also considering a
standard to call for beach access points at % mile intervals along the beach. Map 3.
indicates the extent to which this standard is currently being met. As can be seen, the
City is currently meeting this standard.
E. Schools
The City's adopted Level of Service Standard for Schools is enrollment not to exceed
110% of capacity in the Concurrency Service Area. The City is located in the Northeast
Concurrency Service Area (NE CSA). According to Miami-Dade Public Schools, the
projected 2017 capacity of elementary schools in the NE CSA is 75%; middle schools is
71%; and high schools is 99%. Based on population projections outlined in Chapter II.,
it is estimated that there will be 39 additional elementary school students, 14 additional
middle school students, and 26 additional senior high students in the City in 2020. Based
on this analysis, the City does not anticipate any issues in meeting the Level of Service
Standard for public schools during the planning period.

VI. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION SUMMARY
A. Visioning Process
The City of Sunny Isles Beach engaged in an extensive community visioning process in
order to guide this Evaluation and Appraisal Report process and the proposed EAR
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. At the outset of the process, the City appointed
a Manager's Informal Fact Finding Committee comprised of ten residents, business
owners and community leaders in order to provide direction and feedback. The Fact
Finding Committee met with City staff and consultants on June 19, August 27, and
November 10, 2015, providing valuable feedback on the project scope, survey, public
involvement process, and interim recommendations. _
On June 8, 2015 the City conducted a Town Hall meeting that had over 100 attendees
from the public. The attendees were split into seven breakout groups and led through a
facilitated visioning exercise which yielded over 200 recorded comments. On September
1, 2015 the City conducted a charrette to focus on transportation issues for the concurrent
Transportation Master Plan process. Charrette attendees were led through a facilitated
Transportation Visioning Exercise during which they were challenged to graphically depict
ideas for improvements to the City's multimodal transportation system. On October 5,
2015 a third Town Hall meeting was conducted in order to present the results of the
previous Town Hall and charrette, and to receive feedback on the preliminary
recommendations. The verbatim flip chart transcripts from the Town Hall meetings,
graphic charrette results, presentations, and related materials are attached to this report
as Appendix B.

B. Survey
In addition to the public involvement process, the City also conducted a 20 question
written and online survey. The survey was presented in Russian and Spanish as well as
English in order to accommodate the City's diverse population and maximize
participation. The City received a total of 480 responses to this survey between July 10
and October 9, 2015. The survey results are included as Appendix C.
The survey response was diverse, with approximately 20% of responded between the
ages of 18-40, 50% between the ages of 41-65, and 30% of respondents aged over 65.
The feedback from the public indicated a high concern for resolving issues related to
drainage (49%), street and sidewalk improvements (47%), and crosswalk improvements
(42%). Concerning street improvements, congestion was a major concern noted by over
70% of respondents, with over 20% indicating an issue with parking. At the same time,
there was cognizance from the community that bicycle, pedestrian, and "Complete
Streets" improvements should be a City priority. These improvements were rated to be
just as important as roadway improvements, indicating community support for
multimodal/alternative mode transportation. There was also a noted need for more park
and open space (30%), better urban design (30%), and more landscaping (21%).
Increased access to the beach, currently serviced by Beach Access paths, was also a
priority noted by 28% of respondents.
In addition to the questions, respondents were also provided with an opportunity to
provide additional comments. These comments addressed a wide-range of issues,
including: overdevelopment/building heights; congestion; traffic and transportation safety;
needed infrastructure improvements; beach erosion; the maintenance of parks, beaches
and public areas; public safety; homelessness; noise pollution; the need for greater retail
variety; the need for additional recreational and library programming; the need for a senior
center/additional programming for seniors; the provision of free public Wi-Fi in all areas,
and; the need for a high school.

SESSION COMMENTS
Bay - look at beach
Emphasize Bike Paths
Drivers scared of bicycles, motorcycles
Where would bike paths go?
Aventura - resurfaced park - Margolis Park - resurface area to walk/look at
(improving) walking around Margolis Park
N. Bay Road - bridge - how will that affect traffic on N. Bay Road?
Water Taxis - other cities did good on bay area
Concern about boardwalk. Beach is eroded - how will (it be) accommodated
Traffic blockages - concern about emergency access
Traffic notification (notify residents about traffic conditions)
SIB Police Dept. - good response to explosion - good response
Comp Plan - What do we do about traffic on Collins?
Suggest to police too how to address traffic backup - police to alleviate traffic
Walkway along Ocean - already looked at. Sea turtles, other concerns prohibited
Water taxi good idea but prohibitively expensive
Look into it again
Property values skyrocketing - affordable housing especially challenging in SIB
Crisis -What can do about getting in and out during emergency
How will we address traffic in SIB?
Traffic - what other options?
Cannot move in City - Collins can't move
Police coordination during emergencies - i.e. explosion
Consider the emergency bridge - excluded from presentation
Walkways on beach - fed. govt. turned down - not wide enough
16
Taxi-boat needed a large subsidy
Pedestrians do not have not enough time to cross - need at least 30 seconds
Adjust/increase timing on crosswalk
Bicycles - careless
Educate bicyclists who take risks
Demographics - younger community
Consider Projections
Enormous change in demographics
Samson Ocean Park - when will it be done?
174 Street - construction going too slow - 3 years' time
Traffic jams in morning due to construction vehicles
Construction suppliers blocking lanes
Construction vehicles blocking
Technology - encourage people to use (i.e. Uber, waze)
Technology i.e. public Uber system
City look at enforcing how commercial vehicles are blocking lanes
No space on the beach, overcrowding
No more building permits
Share powerpoints ahead of time/on website

Better timing. Posted times
If my car broke down I would use the shuttle....or if I didn't feel like driving I might hop on a shuttle to
go somewhere....for me the shuttle is great for emergencies.
More stops. More. Info about times
Improve access by adding extra step on bus. Increase hours of service to match worker schedule
(connect to express bus and max bus to get to work for 8 and 9 AM start time for jobs in Miami and
Ft. Lauderdale. Also, match return time from work. Most people work until 4 or 5 PM downtown
Miami then take express buses to Aventura mall.
The traffic

Nothing, I already use the City Shuttle frequently.
Expanding the routes of the shuttle. It would be great the shuttle go to Costco in Biscayne Blvd.

More frequent buses
they shouldn't pull away from the stop too quickly. I was waiting to board at Aventura mall to get
home and the driver pulled away too quickly causing me to miss the bus and I had to wait an hour for
another one.
Knowing when its going to arrive and where, and not having to get some paper brochure to figure it
out. Look at my phone, press a button, lists the locations and gps maps the closest one to me and
when I click it, it says bus arriving in *** minutes.
If they followed true to schedule.Shuttle's are always very early or very late and it is hard to catch it.
better supplied on public beach at the Samson park: like ability to rent an umbrellas and chairs, It is
hard for older SI residence and is difficult to carry beach supply across the Collins avenue.with
membership/ resident card we could prepay the rent of the beach equipment at the center and used
it as a debit card.thank you for taking good care of SIB.
better hours. run more frequently and til 10:30 pm
Signs showing specific route map at each shuttle stop

APPENDIX C-1. SURVEY OPEN QUESTION ANSWER DETAILS(Verbatim)
Expanded hours for Mini-bus (start earlier, end later). People are forced to drive to Aventura mall to
make connections that utilize county buses to Broward or Miami, because the mini-bus starts too late
and often ends after buses return in evening.Also, special events,such as City Hall Meetings are held
after hours of service for the mini-bus. Lastly, physical access to mini-bus is a problem for short
people or elderly since the first step is too high.
Public transportation

We use it to go to Aventura Mall and it is much easier than bringing the car.

The Honorable George H. Scholl, Mayor
City of Sunny Isles Beach
18070 Collins Avenue,3rd Floor
Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 33160
Dear Mayor Scholl:
The Department of Economic Opportunity has completed its review of the proposed
comprehensive plan amendment (Amendment No. 16-2ER) for the City of Sunny Isles Beach,
which was determined complete on February, 9, 2016. We have reviewed the proposed
amendment in accordance with the state coordinated review process set forth in Sections
163.3184(2) and (4), Florida Statutes (F.S.), for compliance with Chapter 163, Part II, F.S.
The Department's Objections, Recommendations, and Comments Report is attached
for your reference. The Department identified one objection and three comments for the
City's consideration. The Department's objection relates to the omission of a time horizon for
the Future Land Use Map. The comments pertain to mapping the correct location of the
coastal high-hazard area and including the correct definition of this area within the
Comprehensive Plan; providing additional strategies to respond to and prepare for coastal
flooding and other flooding events; and,the regulation of housing and residential land use by
tenure.
The City should act by choosing to adopt, adopt with changes, or not adopt the
proposed amendment. Also, please note that Section 163.3184(4)(e)1, F.5., provides that if
the second public hearing is not held and the amendment adopted within 180 days of your
receipt of the Department report,the amendment shall be deemed withdrawn unless

OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS REPORT
CITY OF SUNNY ISLES
PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 16-2ER
The City of Sunny Isles Beach's 16-2ER Proposed Amendment is intended to implement those
updates to the City's Comprehensive Plan noted in the City's Evaluation and Appraisal Notification
letter to the Department of Economic.Opportunity on December 1, 2014.
Amendments proposed include revisions to the Community Vision Statement, and modifications to
the following Comprehensive Plan Elements: Future Land Use;Transportation;Housing;
Recreation and Open Space; Capital Improvements Element;Coastal Management;Infrastructure;
Conservation;Intergovernmental Coordination;and,Educational Facilities. The amendment also
includes revision to the Monitoring& Evaluation Procedures Section of the Comprehensive Plan.
The amendment proposes several significant changes to the City's Comprehensive Plan,including: •
establishing criteria to evaluate and facilitate compatibility between land uses;providing a basis to
facilitate a higher quality built environment through the use of urban design guidelines; establishing a
basis for the implementing a complete strategy,including the establishing pedestrian and bicyclist
levels of service standards; and, establishing several strategies for improve sustainability and
particularly resilience to climate change.
The City's Evaluation and Appraisal Notification letter to the Department of Economic
Opportunity, dated December 1, 2014, stated that the City intended to update its Comprehensive
Plan to address growth management legislation adopted since 2008,and to accomplish these specific
amendments: 1) updating the Comprehensive Plan's planning horizons pursuant to Section
163.3177(5)(a), Florida Statutes; 2) updating the Intergovernmental Coordination element to include
a mandatory dispute resolution process pursuant to Section 163.3177(6)(h)l.b., Florida Statutes;
3) updating the five-year capital improvements schedule in the Capital Improvement Element
pursuant to Section 163.3177(3)(a)4., Florida Statutes;and, 4) revising the Transportation and
Capital Improvements elements to comply with the requirements for implementing transportation
concurrency set out in Section 163.3180(5),Florida Statutes.
I. The Department raises the following Objections to the Amendment:
1) Objection: Future Land Use Map Missing the Associated Time Horizon.
The City of Sunny Isles Beach's EAR-notification response to DEO in which the City identified
updating the Comprehensive Plan's planning horizons pursuant to section 163.3177(5)(a), Florida
Statutes, to address both a five-year and 10-year planning period,as a necessary amendment to the
City's comprehensive plan. Proposed amendment 38 for the future land use element states amend the
Future Land Use Map to include the text `Year 2030."However, the amendment does not actually
include a revised future land use map, and the future land use map currently adopted by the City
does not have any associated timeframe and thus not satisfy the requirement to cover an associated
long-range (i.e., at least 10-year) period.
1
Authority: Section 163.3177(5)(a), Florida Statutes (F.S.)
Recommendation: Revise the amendment to include labeling on the future land use map so
that it is identified as the "Year 2030 Future Land Use Map."
II.The following Comments are offered to assist the City of Sunny Isles. They will not be
used as a basis for a challenge.
1) Comment: Future Land Use Map series/Coastal Management Element—Incorrect Coastal
High-Hazard Area Mapping and Missing Definition of Coastal High-Hazard Area
The amended Future Land Use Map (series) does not depict the correct location of the coastal
high-hazard area in accordance with sections 163.3177(6)(a)10.c.(VI).,F.S., 163.3178(2)(h),F.S. and,
163.3178(8)(c), F.S., Section. The Coastal Management Element does not include the statutory
definition of coastal high-hazard area in accordance with sections 1633178(2)(h),F.S. and
163.3178(8)(c),F.S.
In response, the City should revise the amendment to the Coastal Management Element to include the statutory
definition of Coastal High-HaardArea as"the area below the elevation of the category 1 storm surge line
as established by a Sea,Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH)computerized storm
surge model" and to depict the Coastal High-Har and Area on the Future Land Use Map. Mapping of the
location of Coastal High-Hazard Area should be based upon the most recently available data published by the
Florida Division of Emergeng Management.
2) Comment: Implementation of Recent Statutory Changes —Coastal Management Element
Redevelopment Component Requirements
The City's December 1, 2014, Evaluation and Appraisal Notification response to the
Department of Economic Opportunity specified that the ensuing amendment would include
updates to reflect statutory changes. The adoption of the Peril of Flood.legislation in 2015 modified
Section 163.3178(2)(f), F.S., to require those local governments with Coastal Management Elements
to include a redevelopment component within this Element, that addresses a variety of planning
considerations to respond to and prepare for a variety of coastal and other flooding events. The
City's Comprehensive Plan, along with the proposed amendments,does not demonstrate complete
compliance with all components of these statutory requirements.
In response, the City should revise the amendment to the Coastal Management Element to ident5 post flood and
sea level rise redevelopment strategies and activities and update applicable Code citations to reflect currently adopted
regulations. The revised amendment should identi and map flood risk in coastal areas, including sea level rise-related
impacts. The amendment should also identift and outline strategies to employ in flood risk areas including the
designation of adaptation action areas(AAA)and establishment of strategies relating strategies to the spec
AAAs,for example: flood proofing of vital infrastructure located within AAAs experiencing frequent flooding and
increased flood elevations;elevating minimum finished floor elevation requirements in flood risk areas;and, upgrading
to stormwater infrastructure within vulnerable areas, such as use of backflow preventers or green infrastructure to
reduce runoff in flood cones.

3) Comment: Housing Element—Regulation of Housing by Tenure
Proposed amendment 15 for the Housing Element would revise a policy that provides the basis for
land development regulations that govern ownership of housing units for the purposes of protecting
single family residential areas. It is not clear what the public purpose basis is for the regulation of
ownership of housing units nor how regulating such would have the effect of protecting single
family residential areas from some impact typically addressed through planning and land
development regulation, such as incompatible and use impacts,nuisances, safety concerns,
public-/environmental health hazards.
In response, the City should revise this amendment, either to establish a clear public purpose for regulating tenure,
or to eliminate this specific provision.

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
VIA: Christopher J. Russo, City Manager
FROM: Claudia Hasbun, Planning and Zoning Administrator
DATE: 5/19/2016
RE: City's Comprehensive Plan Amendments
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of this ordinance is recommended.
REASONS:
The City Comprehensive Plan document is the blueprint for the existing
and future development of the City. The Plan's goals and policies
reflect the City's vision for its future, and for how it will meet the needs
of existing and future residents, visitors and businesses.
The Comprehensive Plan was initially adopted in October 2000 and
later modified in 2007; this is the second modification through the
Evaluation and Appraisal Report process (EAR), which is a state-
mandated assessment of the Comprehensive Plan to ensure that all
current statutory requirements are being met. During this process the
City has the opportunity to step back and take a holistic look at how well
the Plan is working and how it might be refined to address community
specific issues and challenges.
The City started the EAR process a year ago and during that time, we
went through multiple meetings with different stakeholders of the
community; a detailed outline of the public participation is part of the
attached report. The EAR report with amendments was sent to the
State Department of Economic Opportunities (DEO) and to all required
173
external agencies and we received their comments on April 8, 2016.
The final version for adoption incorporated their comments that are
highlighted into the document. The final step, if approved, would be to
transmit the Amended Comprehensive Plan to the State.
