EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, VISION STATEMENT & PLAN HIGHLIGHTS 01 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In May 2017, the City of Sunrise commissioned Redevelopment Management Associates (RMA) to undertake the East Sunrise Improvements Master Plan (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”) per the response to RFQ 15-04-09-MS. The goal was to develop an improvement master plan for the East Sunrise area to stimulate investment and redevelopment of non-residential areas and to revitalize existing neighborhoods.
The Plan is generally organized as follows:

STUDY AREA The plan study area consists of a two square mile area in the eastern portion of Sunrise that extends east of University Drive (SR 817), including the University Drive corridor, to the municipal boundaries and south from West Oakland Park Boulevard (SR 816) to Sunrise Boulevard (SR 838). All parcels adjacent to the University Drive corridor are included in the boundaries of the study area. Sunset Strip, a city collector street, is a central spine and focal point for business and community services. The City of Sunrise continues to experience strong economic growth and gains in the quality of life realm, with a diverse array of new development projects and businesses being added to the tax base each year. City leadership and staff have carefully guided new development and public projects to achieve this progress, including efforts in recent years aimed at helping east Sunrise attract its share of both public and private investments. City leadership has also made a strong commitment to east Sunrise, with a focus on action and market-responsive strategies and plans. This plan is the next phase of that commitment, and as promised, the City has already begun to implement some of the ideas described in later sections. While the analyses, principles, and recommendations in this plan focus on the study area, many of them will also have application citywide.

PLAN OVERVIEW Gathering extensive community and stakeholder perspectives and feedback has been a core goal during the development of this plan. Substantial efforts were made by City leaders and staff to communicate both the opportunities for such feedback, as well as the results of analyses and potential solutions as they were developed. Interviews, focus groups, workshops, public meetings, and feedback sessions were well-attended and had active participation. Online feedback mechanisms including surveys also resulted in substantial stakeholder participation, and special efforts were made to obtain feedback from the real estate and business investment communities to ensure the private sector concurred the plan was market driven and feasible. The goal was to create a shared vision from a broad base of stakeholders. By creating consensus around a shared vision , the plan helps clarify community hopes and expectations and reduces risks for investors and developers. By identifying key opportunity sites , the team was able to craft redevelopment scenarios for each site that when developed will contribute substantially to the city’s tax base as well as brand the city as a target for private investment. The plan recognizes that different areas or districts of east Sunrise have their own unique characteristics and opportunities. The "districts" were identified based on unique physical attributes - including location and land use patterns - and focus on market perceptions. They are not related to any existing districts related to voting or elected officials. Potential improvements to mobility and infrastructure, and programs and plans that enhance the city infrastructure and quality of life in east Sunrise form the foundation for this plan. Finally, the implementation matrix will help the city stay focused on key recommendations while providing a long term guide to follow. The matrix and the continued focus on east Sunrise will attract other civic partners, provide a general but flexible timeline, and create clearer roles and responsibilities to accelerate progress. This focus on effective implementation will help brand the city to attract outside investment more quickly and accomplish the shared vision.
MARKET OVERVIEW To arrive at realistic market driven recommendations, an analysis was conducted of the five key drivers of Economic Development; Land, Labor, Markets, Capital, and Regulation. Below is a summary overview of the real estate market, existing workforce, prominent industries, and regulatory environment. LAND • The retail market showed the highest potential for new development and the most activity in the existing market. Over the past 5 years, Triple Net (NNN) rents have nearly doubled and vacancy rates have significantly dropped. • The office market showed the least potential for new development and the least activity in the existing market. Since 2012 rents within the immediate area have decreased and vacancy rates have increased. • Additional industrial space with light industrial/flex uses (i.e. art gallery or micro-brewery) is ideal for the community. east Sunrise has a small amount of industrial space; existing space in the market is 100% absorbed. • There is opportunity to introduce additional multifamily product and density to the area; apartment and townhome design would complement the scale of the community. LABOR • Strong workforce clusters in retail and transportation/utilities exist. • Strong employment clusters in construction, wholesale trade, transportation/utilities, arts/accommodation/food & beverage, and other services exist. MARKETS • There is a potential customer base that can be captured from the high traffic volume on the major corridors. • A diverse mix of international restaurants along University Drive creates opportunity for a brand that highlights the clustering of culinary offerings. • Low Consumer Spending Index and retail leakage to other areas is occurring. CAPITAL • Bank deposits in east Sunrise have grown at an average of 6.1% annually since 2013. This indicates a healthy and stable local economy. • There’s a need for better coordination and promotion amongst the 700+ merchants and businesses to capitalize on the availability of so many establishments. REGULATION • The existing regulatory environment presents an opportunity to modify certain land use and zoning regulations that would encourage growth and facilitate development in east Sunrise. Conversely zoning allows for uses that are not compatible with
the vision of the community therefore zoning in progress may be considered. • Work to ensure permitting process is not difficult, expensive, and lengthy.

VISION STATEMENT The process to develop this plan began with the identification of a shared vision for the future. Residents, businesses, civic leaders, developers, City staff, elected officials, and other stakeholders contributed their dreams and ideas to help create the following Vision Statement: “EAST SUNRISE WILL BE A DYNAMIC AND WELCOMING COMMUNITY THAT APPRECIATES AND CELEBRATES ITS DIVERSE PEOPLE AND CULTURE THAT EMBRACES SMART GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, WHILE PRESERVING ITS UNIQUE HERITAGE AS SUNRISE’S ORIGINAL NEIGHBORHOOD. ALL OF SUNRISE WILL WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE EXCEPTIONALLY VIBRANT AND WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH STREETSCAPES, PARKS AND RECREATIONAL AMENITIES, CIVIC BUILDINGS, AND QUALITY PUBLIC SPACES WHERE RESIDENTS CAN ENJOY OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERACTION AND ENRICHMENT. NEW PROGRAMMING AND INITIATIVES WILL FACILITATE AND FOSTER A THRIVING LOCAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND ENHANCED QUALITY OF LIFE . EAST SUNRISE WILL BE A PLACE CELEBRATED FOR YEARS TO COME .” In order to capitalize on unique opportunities, some flexibility is appropriate for implementation. The Vision Statement will help the community, elected officials and staff ensure that those adjustments are still consistent with both the ultimate outcomes desired by the community and the market-responsive strategies found in this plan. All of this focus on east Sunrise has created new energy and excitement within and about the community. People are ready to ... Celebrate Sunrise!
PLAN HIGHLIGHTS This plan is intended to provide guidance over an extended period of time, however there are some very visible and important first steps the City can take to launch the plan and generate excitement in east Sunrise. The City does not need, nor does it have, a broad base of industry sectors to capitalize on (such as a large industrial or corporate park), nor does it need a metropolitan downtown in the classic sense of word with towering, dense office uses and corporate headquarters, to become a desirable city to live, work, invest in, and recreate. What Sunrise does have is a warm and inviting environment that celebrates and embraces a diverse and culturally rich population. In 2010 a Knight Foundation study interviewed 26 communities and nearly 14,000 people over a five year period and discovered that people are attracted to three main characteristics regarding their desired city: They are seeking a city with social offerings, openness and aesthetics. Sunrise is poised to easily offer those city characteristics and amplify them to create a desirable and enviable city brand and identification. The following are Plan highlights that respond to those city traits sought by community members to further push east Sunrise to the forefront of desirability. Focus on the Main Gateways to the Village Center Promote on a grand scale the gateways to Sunset Strip and the Village Center as an arrival point to a coveted and celebrated part of the city. NEXT STEPS 5 5 Design dramatic entry features that attract attention and spark conversation that “something is happening “in east Sunrise. 5 5 Prepare and promote the parcels at each gateway as prime real estate development opportunities; engage current property owners in the process. 5 5 Focus intensively on attracting highly visible projects that are for future generations, i.e. entertainment and social interaction at Sunrise Boulevard, and/or drone delivery stations on the large surface parking areas at University Drive.

Develop the east Sunrise Brand Brand east Sunrise as a unique and walkable Village Center with highly desirable places to live, work and do business nearby. NEXT STEPS 5 5 Create and display bold “Vision Boards” and marketing materials; one board to be placed in city hall and the second one as a traveling display taken to homeowners meetings, special events and any public forum where the Vision can be promoted. 5 5 Promote the small scale and quaint pedestrian environment that draws people to the “Main Street” of Village Center. 5 5 Use this unique environment to brand the area as a welcoming and socially connected place for visitors. 5 5 Host themed “Main Street” events and programs to attract new tenants. Focus on the Districts Use the distinct and unique characteristics defined in each “district" to set the City of Sunrise apart from other cities. NEXT STEPS 5 5 For Village Center and the surrounding neighborhoods, promote the attractive location of east Sunrise where people can choose from a wide variety of housing types, work nearby and walk to a Main Street in the heart of the city. 5 5 For the Commercial Center, promote the connectivity to the Village Center and development opportunities. 5 5 For the major Commercial Corridors, in particular University Drive, focus on the cluster of diverse and international businesses that can only be found in Sunrise. 5 5 Brand each of these “districts” with clearly recognizable signage, street signs and markers.

Market & Develop Opportunity Sites Use existing public and privately owned sites to create real estate development momentum in east Sunrise. NEXT STEPS 5 5 Focus on the redevelopment of the former post office site first to provide energy and attention for the Village Center. This project can move forward quickly and will form a quality public plaza for the public to socialize and recreate. 5 5 Target the city owned 15th Street site for immediate results by issuing an RFP for redevelopment of the site. This project will draw needed residential to the area and create real estate comparables for additional residential real estate development in east Sunrise.

RECOMMENDATIONS & STRATEGIES This section of the plan focuses on the strategies for redevelopment of individual “OPPORTUNITY SITES” , as well as strategies for larger sections of the city or “DISTRICTS” . This will give the city a two-pronged approach; the Opportunity Sites section of the plan provides in-depth real estate analysis on site specific developments, whereas the recommendations for each district enables the city to create strong physical and visual connections between the disparate areas that currently lack cohesion. Finally, additional recommendations are made related to “CITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND QUALITY OF LIFE” . These non-site or district specific recommendations capture all other elements that are important for a comprehensive approach to the transformation of east Sunrise. 02
9 | EAST SUNRISE IMPROVEMENTS MASTER PLAN
The purpose of this section is to provide guidance and insights about private development opportunities and public investments on key sites throughout east Sunrise. The most significant redevelopment opportunities were identified based on community and city staff input, location, ownership, size, land development regulations, vacancies, and recent public and private investments nearby. This section explores development scenarios appropriate on these sites based on the following: • real estate and business market conditions, • community goals and aspirations, • current and potential land development regulations,
• general financial feasibility, • transportation connectivity, • surrounding developments and public amenities, and • overall ownership patterns in proximity.
Using RMA’s expertise in Economic Development, Urban Design, and Identity and Branding, for each site we undertook the following effort: • explored a variety of potential development scenarios, • developed conceptual site plans for one or more of those scenarios, • identified any needed amendments to land development regulations to permit each scenario, • conducted a preliminary financial analysis to test for general feasibility, • assessed impact on overall neighborhood place brand repositioning, overall economic impact and jobs growth, • considered ways to minimize gentrification, and • considered the likely marketplace phasing as the brand repositioning took place over time. A total of 10 sites were evaluated using this approach with varying degrees of detail. The following sections summarize our work and guidance for each site with the following caveats: • The analyses are for a particular point in time. Changing market conditions, ownership patterns, community consensus, and successful or failed projects and businesses can change the preferred development guidance over time. • The guidance provided is not intended to support any particular development proposal or scenario. Each such proposal should be carefully evaluated against the factors above and fully vetted with community leadership and nearby property owners and residents. • Private development is driven by perceptions of risk and return that go beyond the financial. Perceived risks related to community consensus, predictability and timeliness of development approval processes, marketplace responsiveness, and other factors often vary by developer and investor based on their own experience and investment objectives. This simply means that “feasibility” also varies and a negative response from a few developers does not mean all others will have the same perspective or reach the same conclusion. This is often the case when suburban developers approach a more urban redevelopment project.
The concepts contained here were also reviewed with city staff and others to help ensure consistency of community desires and visions, current perspectives of the development community, residents and other community members, and elected officials. The map shown here identifies the 10 sites.

A. OPPORTUNITY SITES The following pages provide alternative scenarios for each of the sites that support overall revitalization strategies, financial feasibility, community desires, a healthy mix of housing affordability, and economic opportunities for families, businesses, and the private development community. Each suggested project works to balance these items in ways that lift the entire east Sunrise neighborhood.

The site is located along the west side of Sunset Strip between NW 15th Street and NW 16th Street, currently the site is vacant. This site is surrounded by RS-5 Residential Single Family (5 DU/AC). This site is ¼ mile from the Sunrise Golf Village Park (plaza and neighborhood commercial), ½ mile from Sunrise Boulevard (major commercial corridor), and 1 mile from the Village Center (parks, school, civic, businesses). This site is strategically important as an opportunity to introduce visible new housing styles more responsive to current market conditions in ways that take advantage of the walkability of east Sunrise. In addition, the suggested live/work townhomes embrace the existing entrepreneurial culture of the neighborhood and encourages micro- business and small business development as a way to grow household wealth and prosperity. The added density is required to provide financial feasibility for private investment and development. It also helps improve housing affordability. The site design carefully includes setbacks from existing single-family properties using a perimeter driveway, and a Form Based Code is suggested to further setback the taller parts of each structure from those single-family homes. In addition, significant open and community spaces have been included to enhance informal social interaction, community building, and the anticipated small business activities. This includes wider landscaping buffers from Sunset Strip, a community pool, and a dog park.

DESCRIPTION:
The site includes 2 parcels, is located at the southwest corner of NW 20th Street and NW 19th Street, is currently vacant, and is used by the City of Sunrise for temporary construction storage. This site is bounded on the north and east by RS-5 Residential Single Family (5 DU/AC) and by B-3 General Business District and I-1 Light Industrial on the west side. This site is ¼ mile from City Park, Village Multipurpose Center, Village Civic Center, retail, and neighborhood businesses. In addition, this site is facing a waterway on the south side giving a potential opportunity for waterfront deck amenities. Zoning to the south in the City of Plantation includes light industrial. This site is somewhat unique in east Sunrise because of its proximity to other industrial and commercial areas and the site’s ability to provide employment opportunities within walking distance. Given the strategic goal of creating such employment opportunities, and in support of the entrepreneurial culture of east Sunrise, the suggested program is for flex commercial spaces that can house a wide variety of business enterprises from small fabrication to warehouses to offices – or any combination of these. Additionally, a small number of live/work townhomes are proposed in support of the employment/ affordability strategies and as a buffer to homes east of the site. Open space for displays or business events is also provided (no outdoor storage is suggested). The 2 parcels should be combined to improve marketability. The proposed site plan creates carefully organized and buffered parallel parking along NW 20th Street to substantially improve conditions along the rear of the existing single-family homes. It also limits building heights to 1-2 stories to minimize visual impact. Finally, the open space and boardwalk help to reposition the canal as a neighborhood amenity.

PREFERRED PROGRAM:
DESCRIPTION:
The site includes 2 parcels, is located at the southwest corner of NW 20th Street and NW 19th Street, is currently vacant, and is used by the City of Sunrise for temporary construction storage. This site is bounded on the north and east by RS-5 Residential Single Family (5 DU/AC) and by B-3 General Business District and I-1 Light Industrial on the west side. This site is ¼ mile from City Park, Village Multipurpose Center, Village Civic Center, retail, and neighborhood businesses. In addition, this site is facing a waterway on the south side giving a potential opportunity for waterfront deck amenities. Zoning to the south in the City of Plantation includes light industrial. Given other existing commercial uses on the street, multi-family rental apartments are proposed as an appropriate and financially feasible residential use option for the site, including a potential mix of market and affordable units. They are complemented by substantial open spaces, carefully designed parallel parking to the north, and a small flex commercial building that might house a community maker space or vocational- technical training facility – or similar businesses. The two parcels should be combined to improve marketability and development potential. The site is designed to maximize open space at the canal and along NW 19th Street as significant new neighborhood amenities. There is potential for a dog park, kayak launch, fishing area, or community garden as well. Proposed height limits have been substantially reduced (from 250 feet to 45 feet) to reduce impacts to nearby homes.

GROSS SITE AREA:
PREFERRED PROGRAM: Large Public Plaza
DESCRIPTION:
The site is located on NW 68th Avenue just south of Sunset Strip, and currently the former post office building is on site. This site is surrounded by CF Community Facilities, B-3A General Business Overlay District, and B-3 General Business District. This site is in proximity to City Park, Village Multipurpose Center, Village Civic Center, retail, an elementary school, and neighborhood businesses. Parts of the site are used to access both businesses and the recreation center. Proposed use of this site includes removal of the existing structure, upgrading of lighting and electrical systems, and construction of public plaza unifying the Civic complexes and parks/open spaces on two sides of the street. The plaza will serve as a prominent central gathering place for events and other celebrations and community activities. Along with temporary street closures, a farmers’ market, food truck events, and weekend vendors are just a few possible uses. Public art should be integrated throughout the plaza, including using the existing tree to remain as well as the potential for projected public art onto building walls at night. The Plaza should be formally named using a public process to create excitement and reinforce positive branding efforts. Access for emergency vehicles would be maintained, and residential street traffic would be rerouted around the Civic Center during events. These temporary closures are not expected to impact Fire Station operations since NW 69th Avenue and NW 22nd Court will remain open at all times.

DESCRIPTION:
The site is located on NW 68th Avenue just south of Sunset Strip, and currently the former post office building is on site. This site is surrounded by CF Community Facilities, B-3A General Business Overlay District, and B-3 General Business District. This site is in proximity to City Park, Village Multipurpose Center, Village Civic Center, retail, a school, and neighborhood businesses. Parts of the site are used to access both businesses and the recreation center. Proposed use includes substantially upgrading the structure for ADA accessibility, building code requirements, aesthetics, landscaping, group congregation code requirements, and lighting to house a very small civic use such as recreation, historical museum, or cultural organization with operating subsidies by the City. No private investment or revenue generation is anticipated for these functions given the very limited space available and the very limited aesthetic qualities of the structure.

DESCRIPTION:
82 - Forests, parks, recreaƟonal areas
The site is located on Sunset Strip and NW 12th Court, currently the site is an open public space. This site is bounded by RS-5 Residential Single Family (5 DU/AC) on the west side, and B-3 General Business District on the north south and east sides. This site is in proximity to retail, neighborhood businesses and ¼ mile from Sunrise Blvd (major commercial corridor). Golf Village Park has the potential to be the center of a vibrant mixed-use node on Sunset Strip. Suggested improvements include added public art (temporary so it can be changed regularly to increase interest), lighting, landscaping, security cameras, and more open areas to accommodate events. Removal of the current concrete benches helps make the park more open and inviting and provides an opportunity for adjacent restaurants to place seating at the edge of the park. This provides positive activity and natural surveillance to improve both real and perceived safety. Colorful flowers and shrubs in key locations will help improve a sense of care and concern and help reduce inappropriate behaviors. Keeping the park space as open as possible gives added flexibility for more events and programming, including the regular kinds of events hosted by the Police Department, potential holiday displays, and community gardening.
