2021 Evaluation and Appraisal-based Amendments to the City of Aventura
Comprehensive Plan
APPLICATION No. 1
DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENTS
Note: Additions to existing text are shown in underline format. Deletions are
shown in strike-through format.
1 . Add a description of the 2021 amendments to the Plan, as follows:
The City Commission reviewed its Comprehensive Plan in 2021 and determined that
amendments are necessary to reflect changes in State law and to reflect changes in local
conditions. The City notified the State, as required by Chapter Rule 73C-49 of the Florida
Administrative Code, of its determination. The City sought community input regarding the
Comprehensive Plan and needed amendments throughout 2021 and incorporated the
input received in the amendments.
Thus, the 2021 amendments to the Plan address the following:
1) In 2015, the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 1094, titled "Peril of Flood". The
law, which became effective July 1 , 2015, specified new requirements to be incorporated
in a local government's comprehensive plan related to coastal flooding and the related
impacts of sea level rise. The 2021 E.A.R.-Based Amendments included herein fulfil
these requirements.
2) In 2021, the Florida Legislature passed House Bill 59 regarding Growth
Management. The new law, which became effective on July 1 , 2021 includes, amongst
other things, a requirement that a local government's comprehensive plan add a property
rights element to assure open and transparent decision making as a protection of property
rights. The 2021 E.A.R.-Based Amendments included herein fulfils this requirement.
3) An update regarding the condition of local land use and transportation conditions.

APPLICATION No. 2
INTRODUCTION AMENDMENTS
1 . Update the introductory data from the date of the last evaluation and appraisal,
as follows:
The planning horizon (timeframe for effectiveness) of the Comprehensive Plan, as
of the adoption of the 2021 Evaluation and Appraisal Report-Based Amendments.
is 2032. The Policies included herein are auidelines for the implementation of the
Plan within that timeframe, while a time period of 5 years was utilized for
identification and evaluation of study parameters and policy development.
Future Land Use
As of 2021 approximately 45% of the City's land area (not counting water, utilities nor
rights of way) is residential, 24% is commercial, and 22% is recreation. Less than 10%
of the City's land area is made up of industrial uses, community facilities, mixed use
development, and vacant land. Of note is that the distinction between lands with
residential use and lands with commercial use has begun to fade. The expansion of the
mixed-use Town Center districts facilitated many of the changes that have occurred since
2014 when considering land use. Since 2014, three developments substantially reduced
the already limited amount of vacant land in the City (Prive', Park Square and 1212
Aventura) Prive' is purely residential, while the other two developments are mixed use. It
is anticipated, based on currently approved and proposed development projects that in
the ensuing years, mixed use development and redevelopment will consume the few
remaining vacant parcels in the City and continue to transform properties with existing
residential or commercial uses.
Transportation
As of 2021 , the City's shuttle bus system boasts an average monthly ridership of 25,000
and has had a total ridership of 2,916,150 since its inception in 1999. The inter-county
fixed-route Tri-Rail commuter service is accessible to the residents of Aventura through
use of the Golden Glades station. Public transportation needs are also addressed through
the use of paratransit services as well as the City's newly added and growing on-demand
Freebee bus system. The Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroad runs along the western
border of the City. There is currently a train station being constructed on the west side of
the FEC tracks that will, via a pedestrian bridge, provide access to Aventura Mall and
other City amenities and businesses. This station will be run by Brightline with trains
running from downtown Miami to Orlando.
