populations within Sunny Isles Beach. This type of designation is to accommodate a broad range of retail and businesses services. Vehicular parking is limited to surface parking areas principally to the rear and sides of the property. The Applicant is proposing to construct a CVS Pharmacy store in approximately the same footprint of the existing restaurant. The store, however, will have an additional 600 square feet. The proposed development as designed is consistent with and furthers the intent of the Mixed Use - Business designation of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use is compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. While the proposed use is compatible with the existing surrounding land uses, the proposed use creates certain traffic problems that require mitigation. The first problem is the Applicant's proposed delivery area for the store. In the site plan, the Applicant proposes that delivery of goods and merchandises takes place on 183rd Street. Staff believes that delivery on l83rd Street poses serious traffic and safety problems for pedestrian and vehicular traffic from the nearby school. More specifically, the loading and unloading of trucks at this location could be extremely disruptive and cause operational and safety problems. These safety problems can be remedied to a certain extent if delivery to the store is performed within the interior of the shopping plaza. As such, staff recommends that the Applicant revises its site plan to provide for delivery within the interior of the shopping plaza. Further, the proposed use will create additional traffic hazards at the northeast corner of the site if vehicles are permitted to make left turns from 183rd Street. To remedy such problems, staff recommends the elimination of left turns going west on 183rd Street. The left turn can be remedied by two means. First, the left turn can be remedied by making the shopping plaza's driveway connection to 183 Street an exit only driveway. If modification of the driveway is not feasible, the City can take independent action to eliminate the left turn by installing traffic calming devices on 183rd Street to eliminate the left turn. Staff recommends that one of the previously mentioned actions be implemented if the site plan is approved, x.
