Exhibit "A"
CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH 2007 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EV ALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR)-BASED AMENDMENTS
INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. Amendments
The City of Sunny Isles Beach's Comprehensive 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 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) is a State-mandated update of the Comprehensive Plan. In order to
be effective, the Plan must be a living document, one with the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions and
needs. Although there are other opportunities to periodically revise the Comprehensive Plan, these revisions
often occur as the result of outside development applications. In the daily hustle, it is unlikely that the City has
an 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 EAR provides this opportunity.
This report is comprised of 11 applications for amendments to the Sunny Isles Beach Comprehensive Plan
based on the adopted EAR. The EAR was adopted by the City in September 2005, and subsequently found
sufficient by the Florida Department of Community Affairs. These amendments are intended to: implement the
recommendations contained in the City's adopted EAR; generally update the Comprehensive Plan and its goals,
objectives and policies; address issues that have arisen since the date of the EAR, and; address subsequent
changes in State growth management legislation. The proposed amendments are collectively referred to as
EAR-based amendments.
The City of Sunny Isles Beach, incorporated in 1997, encompasses 2.63 square miles of land and water between
the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway in northeast Miami-Dade County, Florida. In 2005, according to
the State of Florida's projections, the City's estimated population was 16,702. By 2015, its population is
projected to increase to 20,520, and by 2025 it is projected to increase to 23,934.
In 1998, the State of Florida revised the statutory requirements for the EAR to allow local governments to base
their analysis on the key local issues that they are facing. In order to comply with these requirements, the City
identified five key issues to address in the EAR and EAR-based amendments. These issues are:
. Issue 1 - Land Development;
. Issue 2 - Transportation Improvement;
. Issue 3 - Intergovernmental Coordination;
. Issue 4 - Affordable Housing, and;
. Issue 5 - Mission Statement.
The eleven staff applications contained in this report correspond to the Comprehensive Plan elements to which
amendments are recommended, and the Monitoring & Environment Provisions. Only goals, objectives,
policies and text for which amendments are recommended are included. Additions are denoted by underline;
deletions by strikethrough. A brief Executive Summary of recommended amendments by Element is as
follows.
The Land Use Element is amended in order to address: Issue 1, "Land Development"; Issue 5, "Mission
Statement"; update dates, timelines, and planning horizons, as needed; include interpretive text for all Future
Land Use Districts within the City Limits on the Future Land Use Map, and; address growth management
legislation enacted since the date of plan adoption.

CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH 2007 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EV ALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR)-BASED AMENDMENTS
The Transportation Element is amended to address: Issue 2, "Transportation Improvement; update dates,
timelines, and planning horizons, as needed, and; address growth management legislation enacted since the date
of plan adoption.
The Housing Element is amended to address: Issue 4, "Affordable Housing", and; to update dates, timelines,
and planning horizons, as needed.
The Recreation and Open Space Element is amended to update Objective 5 to reflect the current status of the
City's parks program.
The Capital Improvements Element is amended to address: Issue 1, "Land Development"; update dates,
timelines, and planning horizons, as needed, and; address growth management legislation enacted since the date
of plan adoption.
The Coastal Management Element is amended to update dates and references, as appropriate.
The Infrastructure Element is amended to address growth management legislation enacted since the date of plan
adoption.
The optional Community Design Element is recommended for deletion because its goals, objective and policies
are .duplicative of, and more effectively addressed within, the Future Land Use Element, and/or are no longer
applicable or appropriate.
The Conservation Element is amended to address growth management legislation enacted since the date of plan
adoption, and to include Policy calling for the removal of non-native vegetation.
The Intergovernmental Coordination Element is amended to address: Issue 3, "Intergovernmental
Coordination"; update dates, timelines, and planning horizons, as needed, and; address growth management
legislation enacted since the date of plan adoption.
The Monitoring & Evaluation Provisions section is amended to reflect the current EAR process requirements
and timelines.
2. Objections, Recommendations and Comments Report
The City approved transmittal of its EAR-Based Amendments to the Department of Community Affairs for
preliminary sufficiency review upon first reading of the adopting Ordinance on May 17, 2007. In the August
24, 2007 Objectives, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report, the Florida Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) provides five objections and four comments to the City of Sunny Isles Beach's proposed
Comprehensive Plan EAR-Based Amendments (DCA No. 07-1ER). The City's response and proposed
corrective actions are as follows.
Objection 1. Effect of Change to Future Land Use Category on Public Facilities and Hurricane
Evacuation Not Supported by Data and Analysis
DCA, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), and Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) objected to the City's proposed amendment to the Town Center interpretive text in Policy
15A. of the Future Land Use Element, as they felt that the City's proposed change would allow a greater density
and intensity than the Comprehensive Plan currently allows without an evaluation of impacts. In order to
2
CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH 2007 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR)-BASED AMENDMENTS
address this Objection, DCA recommended that the City provide data and analysis evaluating the impacts of the
proposed amendment on evacuation times and levels of service for public facilities, and provide for mitigation
of these impacts.
It is not the City's intent to increase its residential development capacity beyond what is currently provided for
in the Comprehensive Plan and land development regulations. The proposed amendment to Future Land Use
Policy 15A. (Application No.1, Future Land Use Element Amendment 32, pp. 8 - 9) has been revised to
remove the reference to 75 units per acre and 3.5 F.A.R., and other language that might be interpreted to suggest
that the City is increasing densities and intensities in the District beyond what is presently allowed.
Objection 2. Inadequate Specification of Affordable Housing Measures
DCA and the South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) objected to the proposed Housing Element
amendments because the revised policies lacked specificity. The proposed amendments to the Housing Element
(Application No.3, Housing Element amendments 2 - 6, pp. 17 - 18) have been revised and strengthened in
response to these concerns.
Objection 3. Protection of Road Rights of Way from Encroachment
DCA and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) objected to the amendment because it does not
include an objective calling for the protection of road rights-of-way from building encroachments. The
reviewers overlooked Objective 10 of the adopted Transportation Element and its implementing policies, which
address protection of road rights-of-way from encroachment. There is no need to amend the Comprehensive
Plan to include an Objective that already exists. Please see Transportation Element Objective 10 on Page 38 of
the adopted Comprehensive Plan.
In addition, FDOT recommended inclusion of a Policy addressing coordination with the District Permits
Engineer on access management issues. Although not included in DCA's report, the City is addressing this
recommendation through the addition of new Transportation Element Policy 10E. (Application No.2,
Amendment 13, Page 16).
Objection 4. Updating of Concurrency Requirements
DCA objected to the proposed amendment because it did not include a concurrency management system, or
fully address recent changes to State growth management requirements regarding concurrency and a financially
feasible five year capital improvement program. The objection suggests that a concurrency management system
is not provided for in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. On the contrary, Objective 5 of the Capital
Improvements Element and its implementing policies address the City's concurrency management system (see
pp. 57 - 59 of the adopted Comprehensive Plan). Proposed amendments 2, 3, 4, 9 and 10 to the Capital
Improvements Element have been revised to more clearly address recent changes to the State's growth
management requirements (Application No.5, pp. 21 -22).
Objection 5. Lack of Coordination on Water Supply
DCA, SFRPC, and the SFWMD object to the proposed amendment because it did not provide for the
development of a ten year water supply workplan at the City level, or adequately address coordination with the
SFWMD on the Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan update. The proposed amendments to the Capital
Improvements Element (Application No., 5, Amendment 7, Policy 2F, P.21), Infrastructure Element
(Application No.7, Amendment 1, Policy 30, P. 24), Conservation Element (Application No.9, Amendment 2,
3
CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH 2007 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EV ALUA TION AND APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR)-BASED AMENDMENTS
Policy 2D, P. 26), and Intergovernmental Coordination Element (Application No. 10, amendments 3, 7 and 8,
policies 3N, 3R, and 3S, pp. 27 -28) have been revised to address this objection.
Comment 1. Population Estimates and Projections
DCA and SFWMD raised an issue with the City's proposed footnote questioning the veracity of the Shimberg
Center for Affordable Housing's population estimates. DCA further notes a discrepancy between the City's
proposed amendments to the population estimates in Future Land Use Policy 5C. and Intergovernmental
Coordination Policy 3A., and the population estimates reported on the Shimberg Center web site.
It appears that the Shimberg Center numbers were updated between the City's transmittal of the proposed
amendments and the present. Based on the City's review, the updates present a more accurate depiction of the
City's existing population and projected population growth. The proposed amendments to Future Land Use
Policy 5C. (Application No.1, Amendment 13, P. 5) and Intergovernmental Coordination Policy 3A.
(Application No. 10, Amendment 1, P. 27) have been revised to update the population figures consistent with
the recent Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing estimates, and delete the referenced footnote.
Comment 2. Water Supply Planning
Duplicative - see response to Objection 5.
Comment 3. Community Strategic Plan
DCA cautions that the proposed community strategic plan should not usurp the Comprehensive Plan as the
City's primary growth management tool. The City agrees, and assures DCA that it was never its intent to
replace or otherwise diminish the Comprehensive Plan's role as the primary planning and growth management
document. In order to address this comment, the proposed amendment to the Future Land Use Element
addressing the community strategic plan has been revised (Application No.1, amendments 42, 44, and 50, pp.
12-13). As can be seen, it is proposed that the community strategic plan be adopted into the Comprehensive
Plan as the optional Visioning Element in accordance with Florida Statutes.
Comments 4. and 5., Extensions of Time and Failure to Provide Target Date in Policies
DCA comments that the City should not "put off' its target dates for adoption of urban design requirements and
green design guidelines into its land development regulations to 2012. The City respectfully disagrees with this
comment. The short term planning horizon for the Comprehensive Plan is five years, or 2012. The 2012 date
is therefore appropriate because it represents the Comprehensive Plan's short term planning period. There is
nothing in the proposed policies that would preclude the City from adopting these guidelines sooner. DCA
seems to be suggesting that the target dates should be set to within one year of submittal of this amendment
package. If that were the case, the policies would become outdated shortly after adoption. The City is
therefore making no revisions to its proposed amendments to address this comment.
DCA also comments that the City does not provide target dates for Future Land Use policies 13A. and 13B.
The proposed amendments to these policies have been revised to provide a target date of 2012 (Application No.
1, amendments 27 and 28, Page 10), consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's short range planning horizon.

CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH 2007 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EV ALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR)-BASED AMENDMENTS
Comment 6. Definition of Water
DCA and the SFWMD recommend that the new interpretive text for the "Water" Future Land Use District be
amended to reference SFWMD permit criteria and State criteria: for the use of submerged sovereign lands. The
proposed amendment to Policy 5B. of the Future Land Use Element (Application No.1, Amendment 33, P. 9)
has been revised in accordance with the 'recommendation. In addition, new interpretive text for the
"Community Facilities" District is being added. This designation identifies the location of existing Community
Facilities, and the interpretive text reflects the density and intensity standards prescribed in the Land
Development Regulations. No changes to the Map itself are proposed to implement the "Water" or
"Community Facilities" designations, as they are already identified on the adopted Map. The proposed
amendments are intended to correct the omission of interpretive text for these districts in the adopted
Comprehensive Plan.

as follows:
Policy 15B. The Future Land Use Map shall identify all non-residential land uses as one of the following

15C:
* * *
Town Center - The Town Center designation is a planned development district that encompasses both
underlying commercial and residential land use categories fQn the master plan Future Land Use Map. This
designation indicates that it is the policy of the City and government agencies to encourage and support Town
Center development in the designated area in accordance with the following interpretive text. through an
economic development strategy and plan. The city shall prepare and adopt the strategy and plan and
accompanying development regulations, capital improvements program and possible development incentives by
~. It is intended that, over time, as opportunities arise for redevelopment of tracts of land over three acres in
size, the pro':isions of Tovm Center plan shall guide the City, its citizens, property owners and prospective
developers in the design and redevelopment of such large scale projects. Where the provisions of the plan
authorize land uses or deyelopment intensities different or greater than the underlying land use designations on
the future land use map, the more liberal provisions of the plan shall govern \vhen jointly adopted by affected
property owners and the City.
The Town Center is encouraged to become a hub for future urban development intensification around which a
more compact and efficient urban structure will evolve. 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 center will be characterized by physical cohesiveness, direct accessibility by
mass transit services and high quality urban design. The Town Center is located to have direct connections to
11
CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH 2007 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EV ALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR)-BASED AMENDMENTS
the 16ih Street Causeway and Collins Avenue to ensure a high level of accessibility to the northeast Miami-
Dade/bi -county area.
It is a primary objective of the Town Center to foster a regionally competitive business and activity center for
cultural activities and entertainment, visitor services, dining, financial services, specialty goods and services,
professional office and niche businesses serving the North Dade and Broward County Areas. Incorporation of
residential uses is encouraged. The Town Center location, and the configuration of land uses within them, is
designed to encourage convenient alternatives to travel by automobile, to provide more efficient land use than
recent suburban development forms and the prevalent strip commercial projects, and to create an identifiable
social and economic core for the diverse neighborhoods of Sunny Isles Beach and adjacent areas.
The Town Center should contain business, employment, civic, public and private educational facilities and/or
high or moderate density residential uses with a variety of housing types and within walking distance of the
Town Center core. A balanced mix of primary uses including retail, office and residential should be provided
within developments greater than 3 acres in size by committing not more than 70% of a project gross floor area
ratio (FAR) to anyone of the three uses. Both small and large businesses are encouraged in these centers, but
primarily moderate sized businesses which serve, and draw from, the nearby community and the visitor
population along the beaches. Transit and pedestrian mobility will be increased and area-wide traffic will be
reduced in several ways: proximity of housing and retail uses will allow residents to walk or bike for some daily
trips; provision of beth jobs, personal services, and retailing within walking distance of transit will encourage
transit use for commuting; and conveniently located retail facilities will accommodate necessary shopping
during the daily commuting periods or the lunch hour.
Emphasis on design and development of the Town Center and all individual components shall be to create
active pedestrian environments through high quality design of public spaces as well as private buildings, human
scale appointments, activities and amenities at street level~.Land connectivity of places through the creation of
pedestrian concourses, through-block walkways, and linked courtyards and terraces that invite exploration and
social interaction. A central square or plaza that becomes a primary organizing element for focusing pedestrian
circulation is important to creating both a symbolic and actual crossroads environment fundamental to the
function of the town center.
Streets within the urban center shall be designed for pedestrian mobility, interest and comfort as well as
vehicular mobility. The placement and spacing of public streets should generally form blocks sized and related
to the surrounding grid so as to provide walking routes through the center and between destinations in the center
that are direct and short.
Shared parking is encouraged. Reductions from standard parking requirements shall be authorized where there
is a complementary mix of uses on proximate development sites. Parking structures are preferred to surface lots
but should be integrated into primary use structures and incorporate other uses at street level such as shops,
galleries, offices and public uses.
Buildings and site landscaping shall be built generally to the sidewalk edge in a manner that frames the adjacent
street to create a public space in the street corridor that is approximately as wide as the enclosing walls are high.
Blank walls at street level are restricted and should have multiple windows and doors with weather protection in
high traffic pedestrian areas.
The Town Center should be intensively developed to assure a critical mass of activity, retail selection, range of
services and a resident and employment population to support, in part, such goods and services to create a
destination draw for surrounding market populations.

could be targeted for budget
cuts as Florida's tax revenues

Commissioner Joe Marti.
nez, who sponsored the reso-
lution and whose district
includes the campus, said his
staff learned of the money
simply by asking.
He then wrote a resohltion
that went before the bond

Board, a County Commission
committee last month and
the full commission Tuesday.
The advisory board was
divided, recommending the

County residents who relish
a thriving, vibrant commu-
nity," Alvarcz said in a state-
ment.
Supporters said the
school, though centered at
FlU, will have {acilities in
other communities and serve
patients throughout the
county.
County Manager George
Burgess said the bond's inter-
est should generally be
reserved for the Building Bet~
ter Communities projects
approved by voters in 2004,
Rising costs will likely
require more than the $2.9
billion already approved.
,." "My recommendation
generally speaking is not to
use the interest at all , . . to
! leave it there:' Burgess said.
He said flU's request was
; uniquely timely as state lead-
= ers debate the medical
school's future.
. He carefully avoided tak.
~ ing a firm position {or or
! against the grant.
. He said the administration
~ would develop a tighter pro-
cess for reporting and spend-
ing the interest.
The manager's words did
little to placllte Rolle.
"You sprinkle sugar on top
ol manure and call it candy:'
he said.
Two years ago, a difierent
financial wrinkle in the bond
program was tapped by Com-
missioner Bruno Barreiro to
spend $8 million on a project
in Miami Beach.
Rolle made similar objec-
tions at the time,
"I just don't think it's fair
that on two occasions, the
dollars have Howed out and
nobody knew about it but
staff and the person who
made the resolution," said
Rolle,
Rolle wants to close a
$5 million to $10 million gap
on a new police station in his
inner-city district.
FlU had a head start
because its associate vice
president for real estate
development and planning,
Charles Scurr, worked on 3
previous bond issue.
He was aware there would
be interest.
"It always helps to be
early in the game:' Maidique
said.
Commissioner Audrey
Edmonson, who earlier
opposed the grant, said Mai~
dique convinced her it was
key for her alma mater.
As the debate ended, Rolle
raised the rhetorical temper-
ature.
"This is not just a 'no: " he
said. "It's a black no."
Responded Martinez, a
former policeman: "I was in
central district - I worked
there, Commissioner Rolle,
before you ever thought of
being a commissioner."
Barreiro, the chairman,
quickly ended the discussion.
The question of how to
spend the interest - about
$5 million still remains, and
millions more could be gen-
erated later - struck at the
deeper issue of whether com-
missioners should primarily
serve their district or the
community at large.

resurfaced this summer after
an investigation questioned
the procedures used {or
euthanasia and for selling ani~

The proposal calls for nine

RE:
Executive Summary
Proposed Adoption of EAR-based Ameli
DATE:
December 13, 2007
The City of Sunny Isles Beach adopted its Comprehensiv Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR) in September 2005. The EAR w equently found
sufficient by the Florida Department of Community A' ). As the next
step in this proces e City has prepar pplications for
amendments to the Com d EAR. These
amendments are intended to: implement the recommen contained in the
City's adopted EAR; generally update the Comprehen Ian and its goals,
objectives and policies; address issues that have ari Ince the date of the
EAR, and; address subsequent changes in State gro anagement legislation.
The amendments are collectively referred to as .~- ased amendments. The
11 applications correspond to the Comprehehsive Plan elements to which
amendments are recommended, and the Monitoring & Evaluation Provisions.
The City approved transmittal of its EAR-Based Amendments to DCA for
preliminary sufficiency review upon first reading of the adopting Ordinance on
May 17, 2007. In the August 24, 2007 Objectives, Recommendations and
Comments (ORC) Report, DCA provided five objections and four comments to
the proposed amendments. The City's response and proposed corrective
actions are as follows.
The proposed amendments to Future Land Use Policy 15A. (Application No.1,
Future Land Use Element Amendment 32, pp. 8 - 9) have been revised to
remove language that might be interpreted to suggest that the City is increasing
densities and intensities in the Town Center District beyond what is presently
1
r
allowed. The proposed amendments to the Housing Element (Application No.3,
Housing Element amendments 2 - 6, pp. 17 - 18) have been revised and
strengthened in response to concerns that the proposed policies lacked
specificity. The proposed amendments to the Transportation Element were
revised to include a Policy addressing coordination with the District Permits
Engineer on access management issues. Proposed amendments 2, 3, 4, 9 and
10 to the Capital Improvements Element (Application No.5, pp. 21 -22) were
revised to more clearly address recent changes to the State's growth
management requirements regarding concurrency. The proposed amendments
to the Capital Improvements Element (Application No., 5, Amendment 7, Policy
2F, P.21), Infrastructure Element (Application No.7, Amendment 1, Policy 3G, P.
24), Conservation Element (Application No.9, Amendment 2, Policy 20, P. 26),
and Intergovernmental Coordination Element (Application No. 10, amendments
3, 7 and 8, policies 3N, 3R, and 3S,p . 7 ..28) were revised in response to new
requirements regarding future water SlJping.
In addition, the proposed amendments were revl
