To rectify this as expeditiously as possible, and to evaluate whether there may be <br />other inconsistencies, it is my recommendation that we hire an independent, outside consultant to <br />provide a complete review of our Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations. These arE <br />the documents that work in concert to guide the future development of Sunny Isles Beach and are <br />critically important for both the staff and Commission. <br />SEPI is a qualified consultant that has extensive experience in this subject matter. At the completion of <br />their review, they will provide the City with a detailed report of where these discrepancies exist. They <br />will work closely with our Planning and Zoning Director and our City Attorney to bring <br />recommendations to the Commission to resolve any discrepancies. <br />We request approval to piggyback the agreement SEPI has with the City of Oakland Park, and ente <br />into an agreement with SEPI in an amount not to exceed $100,000. The proposed agreement i! <br />attached with this resolution. <br />Funding for this item is budgeted for and available in the City Manager's budget under Professiona <br />Services. <br />Item Number: 10.J <br />109 <br />
