The Site — The existing site consists of an approximately 3.84-acre parcel situated at the
intersection of NE 29 Avenue and NE 188 Street. The properties bordering to the north
comprise a single -story office building and a multifamily residential development known
as Camden South. To the east are the Uptown Marina Lofts and a canal leading to
Dumfoundling Bay. South of NE 188 Street are a self -storage facility and a commercial
marina. West of NE 29 Avenue are a mixed -use development known as The Venture at
Aventura and the Town Center Aventura retail plaza. The Property hosts a ten (10) story
office building built in 2003, a single -story retail building and a seven (7) story parking
garage.
The Project — Padel Park Aventura proposes to develop sport recreational facilities on
the rooftop of the parking structure. The facilities will include seven (7) padel courts with
shower and locker rooms, retail space, juice bar and lounging areas previously approved
by Resolution 2024-05. The Applicant is now proposing the addition of a canopy to
provide additional protection from the natural environment. The proposed canopy will
provide protection from the sun and the rain and additional buffering for the surrounding
neighbors. These removable canopies are designed exclusively for padel courts roof
solutions.
The Applicant has requested conditional use approval pursuant to Section 31-145(b)(3)m
to permit the recreational facility on the Property. All uses permitted in the Community
Facility (CF) district are permitted in the Town Center TC1 district if they are approved
under Conditional Use. Parks and uses generally associated with it are permitted uses in
the CF district.
The site plan for this project was approved administratively on August 22, 2024, under
City File No. SP2311-0001.
Parking Requirement — The parking garage currently provides substantially more
spaces than required for the office building. The rooftop of the garage will be converted
from parking spaces to padel courts, thus reducing the number of parking spaces while
increasing the parking requirement. Subsequent to this conversion, there will still be more
parking provided than required by the Code (733 spaces required, 865 provided).
ANALYSIS
Citizen Comments — Notices were mailed and the property was posted as required by
City Code. The Community Development Department has received no written citizen
comments to date.

within the Town Center District. In this district, centers that have open-air configurations
and serve the lifestyle pursuits of consumers in the area are encouraged.

mmarrero@brzoninglaw.com Previous Conditional Use Approval at the Property Located at
18851 NE 29 Avenue Aventura, Florida
Dear Mr. Klopp:
Our law firm represents Icon Padel Aventura, LLC, formerly
Padel Park Aventura, LLC (the "Applicant") with regard to the
previously approved proposed padel park located at 18851 NE 29
Avenue (the "Property") in the City of Aventura (the "City"). This
letter shall serve as the Applicant's letter of intent requesting a
modification to the previous conditional use approval for the
Property.
Property Description. The Property identified by Miami
Dade County Property Appraiser Folio No. 28-2203-062-0010. The
Property is approximately 3.84 acres in size and is designated as
"Town Center" in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Property is
within the Town Center ("TC1") Zoning District. Currently, the
Property is developed with a large parking garage.
Previous Approval. On January 9, 2024, through Resolution
No. 2024-05, the Applicant obtained conditional use approval for
the adaptive reuse of the roof of the existing seven (7) story parking
garage with padel courts in conjunction with a small retail space,
or pro shop, to serve the facility's patrons (the "Approved Project").
Pursuant to Florida statute Section 252.363, On December 30, 2024,
the Applicant submitted a letter notifying the City of the
Applicant's intent to exercise the State Statutory tolling and
extension for the applicant's conditional use approval pursuant to
Mr. Keven Klopp
Community Development Director
Page 2
the State of Emergency for Hurricane Ian, extending the validity of this approval until February
17, 2028.
Proposed Modifications. The Applicant is now proposing an additional improvement to
the Approved Project that will provide additional buffering to the surrounding neighbors and
significantly improve the patron experience. Specifically, the Applicant is proposing to add a
state-of-the-art, removable canopy system (the "Proposed Canopy') that will cover the padel
courts and provide the patrons with some much -needed shade. The Proposed Canopy is
specifically designed for resiliency in our tropical, hurricane prone environment. It can be
disassembled and removed from the rooftop with ease within twenty-four (24) hours. The
Applicant is willing to condition its approval on the requirement to remove the Proposed Canopy
in preparation for incoming hurricanes.
Conditional Use Request. The Applicant now seeks a modification to the conditional use
approval to allow for the addition of the Proposed Canopy. The Approved Project is intended to
be an asset to the community serving both residents and visitors of the City. The Proposed
Canopy will significantly improve the patron experience for these residents and guests by
providing permanent shade and protection from our harsh South Florida sun on this garage
rooftop. The Proposed Canopy will further enclose the use and provide additional buffering for
the surrounding neighbors.
Conditional Use Criteria. The proposed Conditional Use addresses the criteria described
in Sec. 31-73 governing Conditional uses as follows:
1. The proposed use shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Approved Project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive
Plan, specifically the type of uses proposed are specifically contemplated in the Town
Center TC1 Zoning District. The Proposed Canopy enhances the Approved Project while
maintaining consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The maintenance and operation of the proposed use shall not be detrimental to or
endanger the public health, safety, or general welfare.
The proposed use will not be detrimental to or endanger public health, safety or general
welfare. The Approved Project activates a dated and underutilized property with an
exciting new use, which will serve the community, and the Proposed Canopy further

enhances this by providing the patrons with protection from the sun, shade, and an overall
more enjoyable experience.
3. The proposed use shall be consistent with the community character of the
immediate neighborhood of the proposed use.
The proposed use is consistent with community character of the immediate
neighborhood. The Proposed Canopy is removable and subtle and will improve the patron
experience as well as buffer the use from the surrounding community with preserving
consistency with the community character.
4. Utilities, roadway capacity, drainage, and other necessary public facilities, including
police, fire and emergency services, shall exist at the City's adopted levels of service,
or will be available concurrent with demand as provided for in the requirements of
theses LDRs.
The Proposed Canopy will not impact City public facilities and services. It has previously
been determined that City public facilities and services will continue to operate within the
required levels of service once the Approved Project is completed.
S. Adequate measures exist or shall be taken to provide ingress and egress to the
proposed use in a manner that minimizes traffic congestion in the public streets.
Regarding the Approved Project, the Applicant has taken adequate measures to provide
ingress and egress to the Property in a manner that that minimizes traffic congestion in
the public streets. The Proposed Canopy will not impact this.
6. The establishment of the conditional use shall not impede the development of
surrounding properties for uses permitted in the zoning district.
The conditional use will not have any detrimental effect on the ability of surrounding
properties to develop with uses permitted in their zoning districts.
7. The design of the proposed use shall minimize adverse effects, including visual
impacts, of the proposed use on adjacent property through the use of building
orientation, setbacks, buffers, landscaping and other design criteria.

Criteria
The guidelines for approval of variances as required by Section 31-76(e) of the City' s

Standards of review. A variance shall be granted only where competent and substantial
evidence presented in the particular case shows that all of the following are met-
(1) The particular physical surroundings, shape, topographical condition, or
other physical or environmental condition of the specific property involved
would result in a particular hardship upon the owner, as distinguished from
a mere inconvenience, if the regulations were carried out literally.
The unique location and particular shape of the Property creates a hardship upon
the owner that is remedied by the granting of these variances.
(2) The conditions upon which the request for a variance is based are unique
to the parcel and would not be generally applicable to other property within
the vicinity.
The conditions upon which the request for a variance is based are unique to the
parcel and would not be generally applicable to other property within the vicinity.
191
This parcel is uniquely situated within the City and is uniquely preserving certain
existing structures while redeveloping a different portion of the Property.
(3) The alleged difficulty or hardship is not economic and has not been
deliberately created to establish a use or structure, which is not otherwise
consistent with the LDR.
The hardship is not economic and has not been deliberately created. The proposed mixed
use development is consistent with the Land Development Regulations.
(4) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to other property or improvements in the vicinity.
The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to other property or improvements in the vicinity. The improvements to the property
will positively affect other properties in the vicinity.
(5) The proposed variance will not substantially increase the congestion in the
public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety,
or substantially diminish or impair property values within the vicinity.
The proposed variance will not substantially increase the congestion in the public streets,
as compared to what may be developed as of right if the current zoning district is
unchanged. Additionally, newer facilities will not increase the danger of fire, or endanger
the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the vicinity.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the request for variances be granted.

Official Records Book 13177, Page 917 of the Public Records of Miami -Dade County.
Currently, the Property is developed with two commercial buildings of approximately
45,000 square feet of retail space. The Western Parcel, occupied by the iconic Mo's
Bagels & Deli and additional retail establishments totaling 10,900 square feet, will be
preserved in its current state. The Applicant is proposing to developed a mixed -use
