WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach recognize
that the City of South Miami is impacted significantly by Miami-Dade County's Planning, Zoning,
and County Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) policy; and
WHEREAS, the City of Sunny Isles Beach wishes to work with its sister municipalities and
Miami-Dade County, in a regional manner for fair, wise, and mutually beneficial policies; and
WHEREAS, the City of Sunny Isles Beach is aware that Miami-Dade County is under
increasing pressure to move the Urban Development Boundary (UDB) further west in order to allow
greater and sometimes intense, development activity to occur; and
WHEREAS, the City of Sunny Isles Beach considers the extension ofthe UDB at this time
to have significant negative impacts for both itself and the region, including increased traffic,
inadequate and/or unfunded increased costs for the provision of potable water, waste water,
stormwater, schools, parks, and open space, county and municipal services including police, fire, and
social services; and
WHEREAS, the County's adopted 2003 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) of the
CDMP recommends against extending the UDB, and reports infill housing land to be in adequate
supply through at least year 2020, eliminating the need to extend the UDB at this time; and
WHEREAS, municipalities are still engaged in their own state-mandated EAR's and should
have adequate time to finish without so major an amendment to the County's CDMP hanging in the
balance; and
WHEREAS, the South Miami-Dade Watershed Study and Plan, a comprehensive study
underway jointly by the South Florida Regional Planning Council, the South Florida Water
Management District, and Miami-Dade County, will not be complete until late 2005, is intended to
provide data essential to any consideration of moving the UDB or amending the CDMP, and should
not be preempted; and

MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable City Commission
From: Mayor Norman S. Edelcup /Jllyr
Date: November 17, 2005
Re: Resolution Opposing Any Extension to the Urban Development Boundary
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution opposing any
extension to the Urban Development Boundary.
REASONS:
The Urban Environment League has asked the City of Sunny Isles Beach to join them in
supporting the campaign to stop the movement of the Urban Development Boundary line. Other
municipalities that have already adopted resolutions in support of this campaign are Aventura,
Bay Harbor Islands, Miami Beach, North Miami, North Miami Beach, and Surfside to name a
few.
The campaign asks officials to consider the needs of all people when planning the future of the
community, feeling that it is premature to move the Urban Development Boundary before
finding solutions to our already overburdened infrastructure, including roadways, transportation,
housing, schools, parks, and water needs.
