AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A special public hearing to consider a resolution transmitting to the
State Land Planning Agency an ordinance by the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners
adopting the Monroe County Year 2030 Comprehensive Plan. (Legislative Proceeding)
ITEM BACKGROUND: Keith and Schnars, P.A. is finalizing Phase 3 (updated Comprehensive
Plan) of the four-phased Comprehensive Plan update process. The Comprehensive Plan (Plan) update
process started with the updating and revising of the Technical Document(the Data and Analysis to the
Plan), which was completed in May 2011. The Monroe County 2010 Comprehensive Plan Evaluation
and Appraisal Report (EAR) was completed and adopted by the BOCC on May 22, 2012. The EAR
yielded 127 recommendations to update the Plan relating to issues such as county-wide visioning and
planning, economic sustainability, redevelopment, water dependent/water related uses, natural resource
protection, climate change, affordable housing, public involvement/information and intergovernmental
coordination. Additionally, the EAR identified outdated or no longer applicable objectives and
policies.
Draft amendments to the Comprehensive Plan have been prepared to implement the EAR strategies, to
reflect the updated Technical Document and to comply with requirements established by state and
federal law. Comprehensive Plan amendments also reflect the results of the "Analysis of Coastal
Barrier Resources System Policies and Regulations in Monroe County, Florida," data and analysis,
prepared by Keith and Schnars, P.A., and the "Monroe County Marina Siting Plan," data and analysis,
prepared by the South Florida Regional Planning Council. All proposed amendments to the Monroe
County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan and associated data and analysis can be reviewed on the
project website at www.keyscompplan.com.
On February 13, 2013, February 14, 2013, February 15, 2013, and March 26, 2013, the Monroe
County Development Review Committee held four special public meetings to review and discuss the
proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan based upon the results of the Technical Document
Update, EAR and public comment.
On September 23, 2013, October 1, 2013, and October 10, 2013, the Planning Commission held three
special public meetings to review and discuss the proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan
based upon the results of the Technical Document Update, EAR and public comment.
On November 15, 2013, the Planning Commission held a special public hearing and by Resolution No.
P28-13a recommended approval to the BOCC of proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan
based upon the results of the Technical Document Update, EAR, staff and Consultant input and
reports, and comments by the public.
The BOCC held special public meetings on March 21, 2014, April 23, 2014 and May 22, 2014, to
review proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. A special BOCC public hearing was held on
July 23, 2014, to consider the transmittal of the proposed amendments (the Monroe County 2030
Comprehensive Plan) to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and the hearing was
continued to October 7, 2014.
If the BOCC votes to transmit the proposed comprehensive plan amendment to the State Land
Planning Agency, the State Land Planning Agency will then review the proposed amendment and issue
an Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report, addressing any issues with internal
consistency, data and analysis, or consistency with the statutes or the Principles for Guiding
Development. Upon receipt of the ORC report, the BOCC will have 180 days to adopt the
amendments, adopt the amendments with changes or not adopt the amendments.
