Summary
On February 16 2005, the Board authorized a contract with the South Florida
Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) and Florida Atlantic University, Center for
Urban and Environmental Solutions (CUES) to complete a Marine Management
Plan for the Florida Keys. The purpose of this effort was then and is to protect
remaining working water fronts from redevelopment away from water dependant
uses. Complimentary to this action, the Board agreed to impose an interim
development ordinance which would limit the types of redevelopment that could
occur at the County's working waterfront properties, pending the outcome of the
Management Plan and the development and adoption of new ordinances to protect
remaining working waterfronts.
The SFRPC and CUES have been working with the public and County staff to
complete the Management Plan. All background work and documentation is
complete. Final presentation documents are being completed prior to the end of
the year.
The SFRPC and CUES staff will make a presentation to the Board in December.
Recommendations for future Board action will be presented in the final documents.
Later presentations concerning final recommendations will be made to the Board in
January.
Board Action Required
Review presentation with SFRPC and CUES.
