Town Center North Overlay Public Engagement Project Re-envisioning Town Center North Overlay We want to hear how you, our residents, envision the future of the Town Center North Overlay. The Town Center North re-envisioning process is currently underway!  Throughout the last year, the City of Sunny Isles Beach has been working to solve a discrepancy in the Town Center District. You can read the complete history of the Town Center District discrepancy and the steps we have been taking to remedy the issue via the below link. Town Center District History Town Center North Overlay Scope In December 2019, the City Commission created the Town Center North Overlay through a Comprehensive Plan amendment. The Town Center North Overlay boundary consists of the westbound lanes of Sunny Isles Boulevard north to 172 Street, spanning east to Collins Avenue and west to the Intracoastal Waterway. We are now creating development guidelines for this newly formed area and this is your opportunity to share your input. Timeline The Town Center North re-envisioning process is currently underway. The first part of the process is key stakeholder interviews with elected officials, residents, property owners, and business owners. These will be conducted during January and February 2020. The next step is an Interactive Listening Session on March 10, where residents will be able to share input on what their vision is for the Town Center North Overlay. Upon completion, presentations will be available on our webpage at sibfl.net/towncenternorth and you will have the ability to submit additional comments or suggestions. Once all public engagement data has been collected, Calvin, Giordano & Associates will present their findings and recommendations for future development guidelines in the Town Center North Overlay to the City Commission during a public meeting.
