Ordinance 038-2001ORDINANCE NO. 038 2001
AN ORDINANCE BY THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS APPROVING THE REQUEST BY TOPPINO'S
INC. TO AMEND THE LAND USE DISTRICT MAP (ZONING) FROM
INDUSTRIAL (I) TO URBAN RESIDENTIAL (UR) FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED ON EAST ROCKLAND KEY AND FURTHER DESCRIBED
AS PART OF GOVERNMENT LOT 5, SECTION 21, TOWNSHIP 67
SOUTH, RANGE 26 EAST, EAST ROCKLAND KEY, MONROE
COUNTY, FLORIDA APPROXIMATELY AT MILE MARKER 9.5,
HAVING REAL ESTATE NUMBER 00121980.000600.
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners,
during public meetings held on September 5, 2001, and on October 17,
2001 conducted a review and consideration of a request filed by the
applicant to amend the Land Use District Map (zoning) from Industrial (I) to
Urban Residential (UR) for property located on East Rockland Key and
further described as Part of Government Lot 5, Section 21, Township 67
South, Range 26 East, East Rockland Key, Monroe County, Florida, having
real estate number 00121980.000600; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended approval of this
future land use map amendment from Industrial (I) to Urban Residential
(UR) as indicated in Resolution P48-01; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 11,
2001 and recommended approval of the request; and
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners made
the following Findings of Fact:
1. Section 9.5-511(d)(5)b. of the Monroe County Land Use Regulations
allows the Planning Commission to consider adopting an ordinance to enact
map changes under one or more of the six listed conditions, specifically
changed assumptions and new issues.

2. The map amendment will provide a location for the construction of much
needed affordable housing in the lower Keys. There are few parcels in the
Lower Keys of sufficient size and appropriately zoned for multifamily
affordable housing. The subject property is also appropriate for such
residential development due to its lack of environmentally sensitive lands, as
contemplated by Goal 102.
3. On August 15, 2000 a pre -application conference between the applicant
and Planning Department staff was held to discuss construction of an
affordable housing project. It was determined that amendments to the Land
Use District (Zoning) Map would be required from Industrial (I) to Urban
Residential (UR).
4. The pre-1986 zoning of the subject property was General Use (GU) which
allowed one residential unit per acre.
5. During the pre-1986 Comprehensive Plan process, the land use (zoning)
district of the subject property was changed to Industrial (I).
6. Section 9.5-220 of the Land Development Regulations states that the
purpose of the Industrial District (I) is to establish areas that are suitable for
the development of industrial and manufacturing uses, warehousing and
distribution uses.
7. The proposed map amendment seeks to change the existing Land Use
(Zoning) Map designation from Industrial (I) to Urban Residential (UR).
8. The subject property is bordered by the following Land Use District
designations: Improved Subdivision to the east and Industrial (I) to the
north and west. To the south, the Key West Brewery has recently completed
the process of changing the designation of its property to Industrial (I).
9. Section 9.5-204 of the Land Development Regulations states that the
purpose of the Urban Residential (UR) zoning designation is to provide areas
appropriate for high -density residential uses designed and intended for
persons gainfully employed in the Florida Keys and to create areas to
provide for vacation rental use of detached dwellings, duplexes and multi-
family dwellings. This district should be established at or near employment
centers.
10. The Residential High (RH) Future Land Use category corresponds with
the land use zoning category of Urban Residential (UR). The maximum net
density for the UR district is twenty-five units per acre where all units are
designated as affordable housing.

11. Objective 101.11 of the Comprehensive Plan states that Monroe County
shall ensure that at the time a development permit is issued, adequate
public facilities are available to serve the development at the adopted level
of service standards concurrent with the impacts of such development.
Therefore, the provision and availability of public facilities will be reviewed
during the site review process.
12. Section 9.5-511 provides that the Board of County Commissioners may
make a change to the land use map if one or more factors are present. The
proposed amendment establishes changed assumptions about the need and
appropriateness of the site for industrial use and because of new issues; the
county -wide need for affordable housing.
13. Section 9.5-511 prohibits any map amendments, which would negatively
impact community character. The area is adjacent to an existing residential
community and therefore would not negatively impact the existing
community character.
14. Goal 102 of the Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan states
that Monroe County shall direct future growth to lands which are intrinsically
most suitable for development and shall encourage conservation and
protection of environmentally sensitive lands. The subject property does not
contain our environmentally sensitive lands and therefore is suitable for
future growth as contemplated by Goal 102.
15. The amendment does not meet the criteria of the Monroe County Land
Development Regulations of Section 9.5-252 (h) Restrictions for Military
Airports. The Department of the Navy study AICUZ identified the area
proposed to be rezoned for residential uses as an area within the designation
CNR3 that specifically prohibits any residential development.
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners made
the following Conclusions of Law:
1. The proposed map amendment meets the criteria outlined in Section 9.5-
511(d)(4) b.ii. and iv. of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations
and will not negatively impact the community character of immediate area.
2. The proposed map amendment supports Objective 101.11 of the Monroe
County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan based on the findings of the 2000
Public Facilities Capacity Assessment Report.

3. The amendment does not meet the criteria of the Monroe County Land
Development Regulations of Section 9.5-252 (h) Restrictions for Military
Airports. The Department of the Navy study AICUZ identified the area
proposed to be rezoned for residential uses as an area within the designation
CNR3 that specifically prohibits any residential development. The CNR3
designation implies only high noise levels. The zone has no accident
potential. It may be possible to employ noise mitigation measures such as
double or triple glazing of windows to ameliorate the problem. However, the
Land Development Regulations would have to be changed before residential
development may be permitted.
4. The proposed land use change would not negatively impact the
community's character, which is consistent with Objective 101.4 of the
Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan; NOW THEREFORE
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, THAT:
Section 1.This Board specifically adopts the Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law stated above.
Section 2. The previously described property, which is currently designated
Industrial (I) shall be designated Urban Residential (UR) as shown on the
attached map, which is hereby incorporated by reference and attached as
Exhibit 1.
Section 3. The Land Use (ZOning) Map of Monroe County shall be amended
as delineated in Section 2. Above.
Section 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, item, change or
provision of this ordinance is held invalid, the remainder of this ordinance
shall not be affected by such invalidity.
Section 5. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with this
ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of said conflict.
Section 6. This ordinance is hereby transmitted to the state land planning
agency for review pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes.
Section 7. This ordinance shall be filed in the Office of the Secretary of
State of Florida, but shall not become effective until a notice is issued by the
