AN ORDINANCE BY THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DESIGNATING THE BOUNDARIES OF CONSERVATION AND NATURAL AREAS; ADOPTING AN INTERIM MORATORIUM DEFERRING ROGO AND NROGO ALLOCATIONS IN AREAS OF TWO ACRES OR GREATER CONTAINING TROPICAL HARDWOOD HAMMOCK OR PINELANDS WITHIN ANY CONSERVATION AND NATURAL AREA UNTIL LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS IMPLEMENTING THE WORK PROGRAM MANDA TED BY RULE 28-20.100, F.A.C. ARE DRAFTED AND ADOPTED BY THE COUNTY COMMISSION OR TWELVE MONTHS, WHICHEVER FIRST OCCURS. WHEREAS, the Florida Administrative Commission in 1996 enacted Rule 28-20.100, which created the "Work Program" in the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and mandated, among other things, the preparation of a Carrying Capacity Study for the Florida Keys; and, WHEREAS, the "Work Program", section c., mandates that in Year 6 (July 13, 2002 through July 12, 2003) the County implement the Carrying Capacity Study by the adoption of all necessary plan amendments to establish development standards to ensure that new development does not exceed the carrying capacity of the County's natural environment; and, WHEREAS, the "Work Program", section F. mandates that the County initiate and complete a collaborative process for the adoption of Land Development Regulations (LDR) and Comprehensive Plan amendments to strengthen the protection of terrestrial habitat; and, WHEREAS, although some portions of the Florida Keys Carrying Capacity Study (FKCCS), completed in September 2002, were found during peer review to be deficient in certain respects, the FKCCS terrestrial module is supported by reliable data and otherwise qualifies as a useful planning tool in comprehensive planning to strengthen the protection of terrestrial habitat ; and WHEREAS, the FKCCS sets out guidelines that, inter alia, would direct future development away from "native habitat," and into "areas ripe for redevelopment or already disturbed"; and, WHEREAS, Goal 105, "Smart Growth," was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in 2001 to implement the mandate of Rule 28-20.100, F.A.C.; and, WHEREAS, Objective 105.2 of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, pursuant to the Rule 28- 20.100, F.A.C. mandate, directs the County to map and designate land within the Florida Keys c:\ TEMP\MCIDO-Draft-2acres-rev .doc Page 1 of9 DRAFT into three categories - Natural Area, Transition and Sprawl Reduction area, and Infill Area, based on the Smart Growth principles set forth therein; and, WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 346-2003 designating the boundaries of "Conservation and Natural Areas", which represent the first land classification category, "Natural Area", under Objective 105.2; and, WHEREAS, these Conservation and Natural Areas designated by the Board include privately-owned vacant lands targeted for acquisition from willing sellers for conservation and resource protection purposes; and, WHEREAS, boundaries of the Conservation and Natural Areas were delineated in a manner that was intended to contain all significant upland habitat comprising patches of four acres or more as identified in the habitat data utilized in the FKCCS, including all upland tropical hardwood hammock and pinelands, lands needed to connect isolated patches of existing upland habitat and to provide buffers between habitat areas and development, all CARL lands, publicly- owned conservation lands, and most lands zoned Conservation, Sparsely Settled, and Native Area; and, WHEREAS, the findings of the terrestrial module of the FKCCS fully supports, and the FKCCS Implementation - Rule 28.20 Work Group recommends, prevention of further fragmentation and degradation of tropical hardwood hammocks, pinelands, and transitional wetlands above the Mean High Water (MHW) line, through the preservation and public acquisition of all private, vacant lands that make up patches of tropical hardwood hammock and pinelands of four acres or more in size and transitional wetlands above the MHW line, along with buffer areas where appropriate.; and, WHEREAS, existing County environmental regulations and acquisition programs adequately protect transitional wetlands above the MHW line; and, WHEREAS, on December 16, 2003, the Governor and Cabinet, sitting as the Florida Administration Commission, upon the preliminary recommendation of the DCA, determined that Monroe County has not made substantial progress toward meeting the objectives of Year 7 of the Work Program, as the County's existing habitat protection regulations is inadequate to protect significant upland habitat until amendments are made to the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations; and, WHEREAS, in response to DCA's preliminary recommendation and the Florida Administration Commission's determination of no substantial progress, and with the objective of meeting joint obligations under Chapter 380, Florida Statutes, Rule 28-20.100, F.A.C., and the Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan, the Board adopted Resolution 39-2004 on January 21, 2004, including a "Cooperative Agreement between the DCA and Monroe County to Address Significant Work Program Issues" (the "Cooperative Agreement"); and, WHEREAS, as part of "Cooperative Agreement", the Board agreed to draft, and to hold public hearings to adopt, an interim moratorium on ROGO/NROGO allocation awards in areas C:\ TEMP\MCIDO-Draft-2acres-rev.doc Page 2 of9 DRAFT containing tropical hardwood hammock or pinelands two acres or greater III SIze within Conservation and Natural Areas; and, WHEREAS, the upland tropical hardwood hammock and pinelands contained within the Conservation and Natural Areas are precisely those significant upland habitats that are important to the sustainability of protected species and to maintenance of ecosystem integrity as called for by the terrestrial module of the FKCCS and Goal 105 of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan; and, WHEREAS, the bio-diversity and ecological functions of upland habitat can be adversely affected by decreasing patch size, characterized by a reduction in number of species, an increase in the relative intensity of edge effects, and an increase in the patch's vulnerability to secondary human effects; and, WHEREAS, except for three patches totaling 15.5 acres, which the Board has committed to prioritize for purchase from voluntary sellers, upland tropical hardwood hammock and pinelands habitat located outside of the Conservation and Natural Areas are contained in isolated patches of less than two acres in size; and, WHEREAS, these small patches less than two acres in size generally lack long-term viability as habitat of any regional, state, or national importance and are isolated, impacted by development, and/or can be connected with other habitat areas, which characteristics do not warrant interim special protection beyond that afforded under existing regulations; and, WHEREAS, continued issuance of residential (ROGO) and non-residential (NROGO) allocations in tropical hardwood hammock and pinel and habitat patches of two acres or more within the Conservation and Natural Areas prior to the completion of comprehensive planning to strengthen the protection of terrestrial habitat would result in further loss of valuable native habitat and may have an irreversible detrimental impact on the County's ability to implement the Smart Growth policies set forth in Goal 105 of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and, Rule 28- 20.100, F.A.C.; and, WHEREAS, ROGO and NROGO allocations on Big Pine Key and No Name Key are already subject to an interim moratorium until a Habitat Conservation Program is approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and amendments to the County's 2010 Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations, implementing the Community Master Development Plan for these two islands, are found in compliance by the DCA; and, WHEREAS, an estimated 916 acres of undeveloped, privately-owned upland tropical hardwood hammock and pinelands habitat threatened by development are subject to these Interim Development Regulations; and, WHEREAS, in order to make effective Goal 105 of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and Rule 28-20.100, F .A.C., it is necessary to halt temporarily works of development as provided herein which might otherwise absorb the entire capacity of the County for further development or direct it out of harmony with the Comprehensive Plan; and, C:\ TEMP\MCIDO- Draft-2acres-rev .doc Page 3 of9 DRAFT WHEREAS, the County has committed necessary staff and resources to the development of permanent policies and regulations to implement Goal 105 of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and Rule 28-20.100, F .A.C., in order to facilitate diligent and good faith efforts to establish permanent policies and regulations within a reasonable period of time; and, WHEREAS, implementation of Goal 105 of the Comprehensive Plan and Rule 28- 20.100, F .A.C. involves complex environmental, social, and economic issues, a broad geographic scope, numerous governmental agencies, and a diversity of stakeholder interests; and, WHEREAS, this Interim Moratorium Ordinance serves compelling state and regional governmental interests and is the minimum action necessary to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of Monroe County and to effectuate Goal 105 of the Comprehensive Plan and Rule 28-20.100, F.A.C..; and, WHEREAS, this Interim Moratorium Ordinance provides mechanisms to assure democratic discussion and participation by citizens, developers, and property owners who may be affected by eventual amendments to the Land Development Regulations and Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan; and, WHEREAS, given the scope of the issues and areas to be addressed by Goal 105 of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, the twelve month time frame is necessary and reasonable in order to complete a fair and comprehensive planning and public participation process that results in legally- and scientifically-sound policies and regulations; and, WHEREAS, Chapter 125, F.S., authorizes the Board of County Commissioners to adopt ordinances to provide standards protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Monroe County; and, WHEREAS, this Interim Moratorium Ordinance constitutes a valid exercise of the County's police power and is otherwise consistent with Section 163.3161, et seq., F.S., which, inter alia, encourages the use of innovative land development regulations including provisions like moratoria to implement the adopted comprehensive plan; and, WHEREAS, the purpose and intent of this Interim Moratorium Ordinance is necessary to provide the County the opportunity to create a system of development rights and land uses that will implement Rule 28-20.100, F.A.C. and Goal 105 of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and that will ameliorate potentially adverse economic impacts on private property owners; and, WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners at a regular meeting on January 21, 2004, directed staff to prepare an ordinance deferring ROGO and NROGO allocations, while the staff prepares amendments to the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Regulations to further protect the ecosystem; and, WHEREAS, the Board at that same regular meeting directed the staff to further review and propose appropriate revisions to the Conservation and Natural Area maps and that such C:\ TEMP\MCIDO- Draft-2acres-rev .doc Page 4 of9 DRAFT process shall include input from the DCA and the public and the maps shall be included in the public hearings on the Interim Moratorium Ordinance; and, WHEREAS, following the direction of the Board of County Commissioners, the Growth Management Division staff immediately undertook the development of this Interim Moratorium Ordinance and a review of the Conservation and Natural Areas maps, drafts of which were presented to and discussed by the Planning Commission at public hearings on March 10 and March 24, 2004; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the draft Interim Moratorium Ordinance and Conservation and Natural Area maps and recommended approval to the Board of County Commissioners on March 24, 2004; and, WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has reviewed and considered the draft Interim Moratorium Ordinance and Conservation and Natural Area maps recommended by the Planning Commission and Growth Management Division staff; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA: Section 1: Pursuant to Policy 105.2.1, Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan, Conservation and Natural Areas are hereby designated, the boundaries of which are described in the maps, attached hereto, and those maps are made part of this ordinance. Section 2: During the period that this Interim Moratorium Ordinance is in effect, the boundaries of the Conservation and Natural Areas may be amended by ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners upon recommendation of a Special Master duly appointed by Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners. Such amendments to the Conservation and Natural Areas boundaries shall conform with the above-recited considerations and criteria utilized in the initial determination of the boundaries of these Areas; however, this shall not be construed to foreclose appropriate changes or additions to the original criteria used to determine the Conservation and Natural Areas. Section 3: Proposed amendments to Conservation and Natural Areas boundaries may be initiated by the Director of Planning and Environmental Resources or by written application submitted by an affected property owner to the Planning and Environmental Resources Department on a form approved by the Department. During the term of this Interim Moratorium Ordinance, applications for proposed amendments to the boundaries of the Conservation and Natural Areas shall follow a streamlined review process, i.e., review by the Development Review Committee and Planning Commission will not be required, and the following procedure shall instead be utilized: (a) Application for a proposed amendment, together with an administrative fee of $500, will be submitted to the Planning and Environmental Resources Department for consideration by the Special Master at a public hearing advertised at least fifteen days prior to the hearing. The Special Master shall receive written and/or oral C:\ TEMP\MCIDO-Draft-2acres-rev .doc Page 5 of9 DRAFT testimony of County staff and applicant, and shall provide reasonable opportunity for relevant and material public testimony. The Special Master shall promptly render a written opinion to the Board of County Commissioners , recommending approval (in whole or in part) or denial of the request for a boundary amendment. (b) The public hearing for the Board of County Commissioners' consideration of the Special Master's recommendations will be advertised at least 15 days prior to the public hearing, but no posting of the property will be required. Section 4: Pursuant to its lawful authority and the pending-legislation doctrine set forth in Smith vs. City of Clearwater, 383 So. 2d 681 (FL. 2nd DCA, 1980), the Board of County Commissioners establishes the interim development regulations set forth in this Ordinance, which shall remain in full force and effect until either (a) the enactment of amendment to the Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations adopted by the County Commissioners implementing Goal 105 of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, or (b) twelve months from the date of the adoption of this Ordinance, whichever first occurs. The Board of County Commissioners, upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission, may amend this ordinance to extend its provisions for a period not exceeding an additional six months, if at any time prior to the twelve-month sunset date of this ordinance the Board determines that additional time will be required to adopt the contemplated Comprehensive Plan and LDR amendments. Section 5: During the period (defined in Section 4, above) that this interim ordinance is in effect, no Rate of Growth Ordinance allocation award, whether residential (ROGO) or non residential (NROGO) , shall be made for development that involves the clearing of any portion of an upland tropical hardwood hammock or pinelands habitat contained in a patch of two acres or more in size within a Conservation and Natural Area. Reference herein to a Conservation and Natural Area means all land located within the boundaries of the attached Conservation and Natural Areas maps (as the same may be amended pursuant to Section 3, above). Florida Marine Resources Institute ADID Maps, recent aerial photographs, site visits, and other reliable and generally-accepted scientific data may be utilized to determine whether a specific parcel meets the acreage and habitat-type criteria of the patches subject to the Interim Moratorium. The Director of Planning and Environmental Resources shall have the authority to make the final decision concerning identification of the habitat patches subject to this Interim Moratorium. Decisions of the Director identifying patches subject to this interim moratorium may be appealed as provided under Section 9.5-521, Monroe County Code. Section 6: Until expiration of the interim moratorium created by Sections 4 and 5 hereof, no Rate of Growth Ordinance allocation award, whether residential (ROGO) or non-residential (NROGO), shall be made pursuant to an application with an entry date of January 14, 2004, or later, involving the clearing of any portion of an upland tropical hardwood hammock or pinelands habitat contained in a patch of two acres or more in size within a Conservation and Natural Area. C:\ TEMP\MCIDO-Draft-2acres-rev.doc Page 6 of9 DRAFT allocation and other land development regulations are legally defensible and fiscally sound; 3) identification of plan and regulatory amendments and strategies to ensure that the goals and objectives of the FKCCS and the 2010 Comprehensive Plan are properly implemented; 4) creation of permanent regulations that adequately protect and balance other important objectives of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, including, for example, affordable housing needs; and, 5) identification and securing of dedicated short- and long-term dedicated funding sources for land acquisition and affordable housing. Section 15: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, item, change or provision of this ordinance is held invalid, the remainder shall not be affected by such invalidity. Section 16: All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of said conflict. Section 17: The ordinance is hereby transmitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs pursuant to Chapters 163 and 380, Florida Statutes. Section 18: This ordinance shall be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Florida, but shall not become effective until a notice is issued by the Department of Community Affairs or Administration Commission finding the amendment in compliance with Chapter 163 and 380, Florida Statutes. Section 19: This Ordinance shall stand repealed as of 11 :59 p.m. on the 365th day after the adoption of this Ordinance, unless repealed sooner or extended pursuant to the terms set forth herein. [THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK.] C:\ TEMP\MCIDO- Draft-2acres-rev .doc Page 8 of9 DRAFT Section 7: Any residential (ROGO) or non-residential (NROGO) building permit application with a ROGO/NROGO entry date of January 13, 2004, or earlier shall be exempt from this Interim Moratorium. Section 8: Any residential (ROGO) or non-residential (NROGO) building permit application for development on Big Pine Key or No Name Key shall be exempt from this Interim Moratorium. Section 9: As of the effective date of this Ordinance, no ROGO or NROGO allocation application that involves the clearing of any portion of an upland tropical hardwood hammock or pinelands habitat contained in a patch of two or more acres in size located within a Conservation and Natural Area shall be accepted or processed by the Growth Management Division, except applications exempt hereunder and development awarded a vested rights determination pursuant to Section 12 hereof. Section 11: This Ordinance shall not be construed to prohibit the continuation or establishment of any use that does not require either a ROGO or NROGO allocation award, and that is allowed pursuant to the Monroe County Land Development Regulations and the 20 I 0 Comprehensive Plan. Section 12: Any property owner adversely affected by the provlSlons of this Interim Moratorium Ordinance may seek a determination that the owner's proposed development is vested against the provisions of this Interim Moratorium, by filing with the Director of Growth Management, together with an administrative fee in the amount of $400, a vested rights application setting forth facts establishing that the applicant met, prior to the date that this Ordinance is adopted by the Board of Monroe County Commissioners, the vested rights standards set forth in Section 9.5-181 through Section 9.5-184, Monroe County Code. Such application must be filed no later than sixty (60) days after the effective date of this Ordinance. Section 13: The County Administrator is directed to have the Growth Management Division begin immediately preparing the draft text and map amendments and other supporting studies in cooperation with the Planning Commission in order to effectuate the provisions of Goal 105 of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and Rule 28-20.100, F.A.C., within the timeframes set forth herein. As called for in Exhibit One ("Cooperative Agreement between the DCA and Monroe County to Address Significant Work Program Issues") of Resolution 39-2004, the staff is directed to prepare the following map and text amendments for adoption by the Board of County Commissioners: 1) Tier Overlay Map Designations in accordance with Goal 105; 2) revisions to ROGO/NROGO based on Tier System utilizing a positive approach that predominately relies on land dedication and aggregation; and 3) revisions to environmental regulations based on the Tier system rather than the existing Habitat Evaluation Index. Section 14: In preparing these amendments, the County Administrator is directed to focus the Growth Management Division's efforts in the following important areas: 1) preparation of substantive revisions to simplify and streamline the County's permit allocation system, and of other environmental regulations designed to insure continuing upland habitat protection, in form that will make them more transparent and understandable to the public; 2) consultation with appropriate legal and financial experts to ensure to the maximum extent possible that the permit C:\ TEMP\MCIDO- Draft-2acres-rev .doc Page 7 of9 DRAFT PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida at a regular meeting held on the _ day of , 2004.

The Staff Report Monroe County Department of Planning and Environmental Resources 2798 Overseas Highway ~ Marathon Florida 33050 305-289-2500 ~ conaway@mai1.state.fl.us April 2, 2004 FROM: Monroe County Board of County Commissioners K. Marlene Conaway, Directo~ TO: RE: Interim Moratorium Ordinance Summary The Board of County Commissioners at a regular meeting on January 21, 2004 directed Growth Management staff to prepare an ordinance deferring ROGO and NROGO allocation awards in areas containing tropical hardwood hammock or pinelands of two acres or greater within Tier I - Conservation and Natural Areas (CNA), while staff prepares amendments to the 2010 Plan and the Land Development Regulations to further protect the ecosystem. Staff was also directed to review and propose changes to the CNA maps where appropriate. The moratorium is to be for twelve months or adoption of plan and LDR amendments whichever comes first. Background Interim Moratorium The Board of County Commissioners, in coordination with the DCA, adopted a "Cooperative Agreement" at the BOCC meeting on January 21,2004. The Board agreed to approximately $120 million in waste water funding, initiating an accelerated program to provide affordable housing, and to draft and hold public hearings to adopt a moratorium on ROGOINROGO allocations awards in areas of two acres or greater containing hammock and pinelands in the CNA. The DCA agreed to work towards providing funds for waste water and affordable housing projects, restoring lost allocations for use as affordable housing and providing $93million for the purchase of environmentally sensitive lands (CNA). This Cooperative Agreement is to meet the requirements ofRuIe 28.20.100 of the Comprehensive Plan, which requires the County among other things to implement the FKCCS, adopt LDR amendments to strengthen habitat protection and to develop a Keys wide acquisition plan. This proposed moratorium is to provide time for staff to finish drafting the amendments, the Planning Commission to review the proposed changes and the public time to consider, understand and comment on the amendments. Conservation and Natural Area Maps Conservation and Natural Area (CNA) map boundaries were adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in Resolution #346-2003. The purpose of these maps was to designate areas for acquisition from willing sellers. The Board of County Commissioners determined that a moratorium at that time was not warranted. The CNA maps were developed to implement the Florida Keys Carrying Capacity Study (FKCCS) and Goal 105 of the Comprehensive Plan. The Conservation and Natural Areas include upland native vegetated lands above four acres in size, restoration areas between fragmented hammocks, known threatened and endangered species habitat, and buffer areas where appropriate. Staffhas further analyzed the Conservation and Natural Area maps approved for acquisition boundaries by the Board in August and considered requests by the public for review of specific properties. More than twenty properties have been field inspected since the last BOCC meeting. Ricardo Calvo, consultant for the County and project leader for the FKCCS has also reviewed the maps and the staff recommendations for amendments. Three of the map changes were available for review in time for the Planning Commission meeting and included in their recommendation. The additional amendments were identified by the staff and consultant after the Planning Commission hearings; the recommended amendments to the Conservation and Natural Area maps are attached. The Conservation and Natural Areas Maps have been amended to reflect the recommended changes. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Interim Ordinance and the boundaries of the Conservation and Natural Areas as amended. Cc, Timothy J. McGarry, Director Growth Management Rebecca Jetton, DCA Recommended Amendments Conservation and Natural Area Maps . All map changes were reviewed and recommended by staff . Only the first three changes were available for review and recommendation of the Planning Commission - Big Coppitt, Cudjoe, and Key Largo. . Ricardo Calvo, consultant reviewed areas of question and made recommendations. Go) C) c ns .c o ...

D8-04 Page 30[3 Initial .i!.:;: AD9lda Item U-4 Morateriwm Public Hearing 411.1/84 - Key West Option # 1. the original staff recommendation for the moratorium. bad only one criterion - - aU lands within the CNA. Two additional criteria were added: I) hammocks and pinelands and 2) in pau:hes of at leasr two acres. Each additional criterion complicates mapping the proposed momtorium. As concerned ci~ we felt strongly that moratorium maps should be available for public review at the moratorium hearings and decided to research how the moratorium maps would be created. We learned that there is no plan to create a new map identifying patches of hammock and pineland of two acres or more, and that accurate moratorium maps could NOT be created given the available data. The moratoriwn as proposed would be an administrative nightmare and open the county to lawsuits. A legal moratorium should specify exactly which lands are covered and avoid the gray areas and subjectivity inherent in using written criteria and field work on a parcel by parcel level to determine if an individual property is in or out of the moratorium. Let's use the CNA map we already have to provide advance identification of the exact parcels covered. This is a complex issue that could be simplified by consistency. We come before you today to ask for your support for a clear, workable moratorium that could be implemented in a timely fashion. RecommendatioDs 1. Adopt OptiOB ##1 - - a moratori8m DB building permits on alllaads within the CNA. A. Adopt a consistent one acre threshold for the CNA and the moratorium based on the one acre minimmn patch size shown on the existing habitat maps. B. Outline standardized procedures for parcels to be added to or subtracted from the moratorium area. Reasons: . Preferred option recommended by cowty staff (McGarry 12131/(4) . Easiest to implement, cleanest. fairest, legally safest option . CNA map already exists, has updated the 12 year old ADID habitat data, has been through many public hearings and revisions, and has been adopted by the BOCC . Implementation of the moratorium would be simplified by resolving inconsistencies between the two acre threshold of the moratorium, the four acre threshold of the CNA. and the one acre threshold of the existing habitat maps. . Existing habitat maps are based on one acre, and determining if each patch is two acres or more would require extensive field surveys. . Changing the proposed moratorium's two acre minimum size criterion to one acre would add only 2S acres of uplands to the CNA. . Using the CNA Map would specifically identify the exact parcels covered. as required to enact a legal moratorium. . All property owners within the CNA would be treated equally. . All CARL acquisition project areas would be included. 2. Expand CNA bouJIdaries to add M_-Im _d pillelaDds ia "Tiers 2 and 3" A. Include all privately own~ vacant parcels which make up patches of hammock or pinelaDd of one acre or more outside the CNA. B. Adopt the one acre threshold to correspond to the existing habitat maps. Reasons: . The "Proposed Concept Revisions to Rule 28-20" requires the county in Year Seven to "Review and revise (as necessary) the Conservation and Natwal Areas Map" and to "Begin . . . . and conclude publiC hearings for the adoption of the amended Conservation and Natural Areas boundaries". . The CNA generally used a four aCre minimum size criterion for isolated patches of habitat, but the proposed moratorium covers patehes down to 2 acres within the CNA. This inconsistency should be resolved by simply using a one acre threshold for the CNA, the Tiers, and the moratorium. . The FKCCS focused on the urgency of preserving all terrestrial habitats. Protection of rare hammOCks and pine1ands is the highest priority. . Of the lands within the existing CNA. only 940 acres comprise the remaining hammocks and pinelands. . All undeveloped hammocks and pinelands regardless of size should be protected, and new development sbouldbe diJected to the thousands of lots that are not environmentally sensitive. 3. Roads should Bot be deemed to iDterrupt habitat coBtiguity with tbe exception of U.S. Hwy.l when calculating the acreages of habitat patches. ReaseBS: . Many roads cut through Iarg~ sparsely developed hammocks. . Clearly birds and other wildlife cross roads to utilize habitat. . The county's prescot criteria for determining exactly which roads divide habitat (paved. more than I S' wide, percentage of open canopy, etc.) are complicated and arbi1Jary. require field ~ and would make the moratorimn more difficult to administer. . If roads are deemed to divide babi_ few areas in the Keys will be covered by the moratoriwn. because minimum acreage would be calculated on a block by block basis., even if the lands are part of an otherwise undisturbed. contiguous habitat, resulting in further fragmentation. . Consistent with implementing the recommendation of the FKCCS work group. (") ." 0 Z r:: r- '8 ~ P ::J m ~ :I: AD .g: m 3 c: 8 3 ~ (I,) ~ '< '< !S- O>> (I,) 0 3 m -s 0 '#.

Being nearly impossible to comment or explain my concerns during the 5 minutes allotted in tomorrow's public hearing, Please consider these thoughts prior to,....,.... 1. The tier 1 map has been altered from the draft form and now includes more partial subdivisions in several different zoning categories. 2. Partial blocks and individual lots within those subdivisions are affected and I have serious doubt that ground truthing would verify inclusion/exclusion of many of these parcels. 3. These maps are taking us farther from; and not nearer to, the intent of the tier system as initially proposed to the public. 4. While the number of parties affected by the conservation overlay may be diminished, the detrimental effect to those affected is more pronounced in that neighboring properties will have vastly different values based on beneficial use. ie: removing individual SR zoned lots from the conservation area deprives them of any use whatsoever even if we assign ROGO points to SR lots. We would now have to change the zoning on them to IS or allow affordable housing on individual SR lots in order for the owner to derive any use. 5. This shift; together with the proposed moratorium will; not may, will put further upward pressure on the value of IS lots, both outside and within Tier 1. The price of a IS building lot in tier 2 is now over $30,000.00 and the last price paid this week for a IS ROGO lot was $28,000.00 Why does this matter? Because; 1. According to the State appraisal standards for acquisition of these conservation designated lots, value is based on highest and best use prior to 1996. Weare artificially doubling the price we are going to have to pay to acquire this land. 2. The price of a lot suitable for building an affordable home is going through the $50,000.00 barrier within 6 months of the date you adopt these maps and the moratorium. Tier 3, market rate, 10 point lots will be over $65,000.00 (please save this letter in hopes you can call me a liar prior to election time in November.) Well; maybe not a liar but a pessimist. 3. These maps make it harder to defend a moratorium when they can be more easily shown to be of an arbitrary nature. There are serious flaws, easily found by someone wanting to make examples uner the Harris Act. On several occasions you as a board have instructed Growth Management to address the issue of donation of SR and NA parcels as RaGa lots. You have been told that it will take an overhaul of the LDR's to effect that. In August of 2003 you passed the resolution designating conservation areas. Now comes the moratorium and revised tier 1 maps to enforce it. All of this to satisfy your commitment to DCA on the issue of protection of sensitive land. The unintended consequences of these actions, prior to development ofthe new LDRs, may be grave. The cart is way in front of the horse. 4/20/2004 Ji.,- \0.
