Summary
Commission approved a site plan modification to enclose a balcony at 17749 Collins Avenue Unit 402 and authorized a transfer of development rights purchase of 313 square feet of FAR from the city's public TDR bank for $39,125.
The City of Sunny Isles Beach commission approved a site plan modification and associated purchase of transfer development rights (TDRs) for Unit 402 at the Mansions at Aqualina, allowing a western balcony to be enclosed and converted to interior floor area.
Planning staff described application PZ202506 and presented floor plans showing the existing balcony and the proposed conversion to a bedroom. The change will increase Unit 402’s floor area by 313 square feet. To enable the increased floor area the applicant sought to buy 313 square feet of FAR from the city’s public TDR bank; staff reported the TDR purchase price for this transfer will be $39,125.
If approved, the amendment increases the Mansions at Aqualina development’s approved total floor area from 435,386 square feet to 435,699 square feet. Staff noted the project would retain 92,492 square feet of available floor area in the site’s TDR allocation for future requests.
There were no public objections recorded in the meeting transcript. Commissioners voted in favor of the site plan modification and the companion TDR assignment; the item passed and staff will proceed with permitting steps consistent with the city’s LDRs and the commission action.
