housing and modular construction has been drafted as per the recommendation of the Planning
Commission.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission requested a 90-day deferral to provide them time to review and amend the
ordinance to clearly define when points should be awarded for "modest housing". After a series of
public workshops and review of research, the Planning Commission recommends the elimination of the
modest/modular housing criteria as indicated in the letter from Chairman David C. Ritz. The Planning
Commission requests that the deferral on modest/modular criteria be continued through December 31,
2002 to allow amendments to both the Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development
Regulations.
PREVIOUS REVELANT BOCC ACTION:
In Resolution 033-2002 the BOCC directed Growth Management staff to defer the award of modest
housing ROGO points for 90-days while the Planning Commission completed a review of the language
and make a recommendation.

A RESOLUTION BY THE MONROE COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution 033-2002 on
January 17th, 2002 directing Growth Management staff to defer the award of modest housing
ROGO points for 90 days and to immediately begin working with the Planning Commission to
review and prepare an amendment to the LDRs concerning modest housing ROGO points; and

2002, in Key Largo and March 13, 2002, in Marathon, and completed a review of the

construction criteria have inflated needed ROGO scores to receive an allocation, precluding
individuals who entered the system before the points were adopted and are no longer
competitive; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has found that homes that have received
modest/modular points are being sold for a price higher than a moderate-income level family can
afford; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission unanimously voted on March 13, 2002 to
recommend that the moratorium of awarding modest/modular points be extended so that the
language may be repealed from both the Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan and the LDRs;
