ITEM BACKGROUND: During the Spring and Fall of 2000 residents of Big Pine and No Name
Keys undertook a community-driven planning process involving local workshops, seminars, and design
charettes that defined through continuous debate the public's interest in preserving a rural community
character, and protecting the eeonomlc viability of locally owned and operated businesses by
determining the appropriate amount, type, cmd location of additional commercial development. The
community driven planning process culminated in the development of the Master Plan for Future
Development of Big Pine and No Name Key (Master Plan), which contained Strategies and Actions for
maintaining the unique natural characteristics of the planning area, the rural feel, and moderate pace of
life. One of the actions recommended to accomplish this end is Action Item 12.2.4: "Prohibit new
formula retail businesses and restaurants in the planning area through the development of land
development regulations." The ordinance put forth for consideration will implement this action item.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On August 18, 2004 the Board of County
Commissioners adopted the Master Plan for Future Development of Big Pine and No Name Key
(Master Plan) as an addendum to the Monroe County Year 20 10 Comprehensive Plan.
