Nos. 008 -2006, 009 -2006, 010 -2006, 011 -2006, and 013 -2006 (Tier Ordinances) which
set forth criteria in the Land Development Regulations implementing a "Tier System"
and adopting Tier Overlay District Maps in order to protect the natural habitat and guide
development toward less environmentally sensitive areas;
2.The Tier Ordinances were challenged by the Florida Keys Citizens Coalition, Inc. and
Protect Keay West and the Florida Keys, Inc. d /b /a Last Stand in DOAH Case No. 06-
2449GM as being inconsistent with Section 380.0552(7) Florida Statutes;
3.The Tier Ordinances implemented the categorization of properties by habitat as
provided in the Monroe County 2010 Comprehensive Plan into three categories of
properties as follows:
Tier I — Conservation and Natural Area
Tier III —A Special Protection Area (SPA) {within this ordinance and on
attached exhibits, Tier III -A and SPA are used interchangeably}

Hundred (3,200) parcels;
11. The 2008, 2009, and 2010 "Thirty Day Report" provided as required in Florida

prepare new habitat data based on the best available ortho- photography, which was
completed September, 2009;
12. The 2;008, 2009 and 2010 "Thirty Day Report" also required that the County

Department of Community Affairs to make recommendations to the BOCC to adjust the
tier designations on those parcels rendered "tierless" using the new habitat data;
13.There are approximately Three Hundred One (301) parcels whose owners had
petitioned for review or which staff felt should have been changed or which were
included to be reviewed because of requests by owners or staff by BOCC Resolution
No. 148 -2006 dated March 15, 2006;

CURRENT MONROE CODE SECTION 130 -130
Sec 130 -130. - Tier overlay district.
(a) Purpose.
The purpose of the tier overlay district is to designate geographical areas outside of the mainland
of the county, excluding the Ocean Reef planned development, into tiers to assign ROGO and
NROGO points, determine the amount of clearing of upland native vegetation that may be
permitted, and prioritize lands for public acquisition. The tier boundaries are to be depicted on the
tier overlay district map. Lands on Big Pine Key and No Name Key shall be delineated as tier I, 11,
or 111. Lands in the remainder of the unincorporated county, excluding the Ocean Reef planned
development, shall be delineated as tier 1, 111, and III -A (special protection area).
(b) Tier boundaries.
Tier boundaries shall follow property lines wherever possible, except where a parcel line or distinct
geographical feature, such as a canal or roadway, may be more appropriate.
(c) Tier boundary criteria, excluding Big Pine Key and No Name Key.
The tier boundaries are designated using aerial photography, data from the Florida Keys Carrying
Capacity Study, the endangered species maps, property and permitting information and field
evaluation. The following criteria, at a minimum, are used to evaluate upland habitats and
designate boundaries between different tier overlays:
(1)Tier I boundaries shall be delineated to include one or more of the following criteria and shall be
designated tier l:
a. Vacant lands which can be restored to connect upland native habitat patches and
reduce further fragmentation of upland native habitat.
b.Lands required to provide an undeveloped buffer, up to 500 feet in depth, if indicated
as appropriate by special species studies, between natural areas and development to
reduce secondary impacts. Canals or roadways, depending on width, may form a
boundary that removes the need for the buffer or reduces its depth.
c.Lands designated for acquisition by public agencies for conservation and natural
resource protection.
d.Known locations of threatened and endangered species, as defined in section 101 -1,
identified on the threatened and endangered plant and animal maps or the Florida Keys
Carrying Capacity Study maps, or identified in on -site surveys.
e.Conservation, native area, sparsely settled, and offshore island land use districts.
f.Areas with minimal existing development and infrastructure.
(2)Lands located outside of Big Pine Key and No Name Key that are not designated tier I shall be
designated tier 111.
a.The following conditions shall constitute a break in pinelands or tropical hardwood
hammock for calculating the one -acre minimum patch size for designation of tier 111 -A
boundaries:
I.U.S. Highway 1, canals and open water;
2.Any disturbed pinelands or tropical hardwood hammock with invasive
coverage of 40 percent or more;
Exhibit C
Page 2 of 7
3-Property lines of developed lots or vacant lots with a ROGO allocation award
or an issued building permit, as of September 28, 2005, located within a Land
Use District that allows only one unit per lot; or
4.1 3 roperty lines of developed parcels of less than 10,000 square feet in area
with a ROGOINROGO allocation award or issued building permit, as of
September 28, 2005, located within a Land Use District that allows residential
development of more than one dwelling unit per parcel /lot or non - residential
development.
b. Lots designated tier III -A (Special Protection Areas) on the November 29, 2005 maps
may petition the county for a rezoning to tier III if the lot meets one of the following
criteria:
1. The lot will be served by a central sewer and the wastewater collection
system has an approved permit that was effective March 21, 2006 to
construct the system on file from the Department of Environmental
Protection; or
Such lots may be granted a score of 30 points through an administrative
determination made by the county biologist, the director of growth management
and rendered to the department of community affairs until such time as the
county sponsors a zoning map change to update the Tier Three Overlay Zoning
Map and it is approved by the department of community affairs.
c.Any hammock identified in the county's data base and aerial surveys as 1.00 to 1.09
acres in area shall be verified by survey prior to its designation as tier III -A. A hammock
that is deemed by survey and a field review by county biologists to fail the minimum size
criteria shall have the Special Protection Area designation removed from the subject
parcel.
(d)Big Pine Key and No Name Key tier boundary criteria.
The tier boundaries shall be designated using the Big Pine Key and No Name Key Habitat
Conservation Plan (2005) and the adopted community master plan for Big Pine Key and No Name
Key.
(e)Tier overlay district map amendments.
The tier overlay district map may be amended to reflect existing conditions in an area if warranted
because of drafting or data errors or regrowth of hammock. However, the clearing of tropical
hardwood hammock or pinelands that results in the reduction of the area of an upland native
habitat patch to less than the one -acre minimum shall not constitute sufficient grounds for
amending the designation of a tier III -A area to tier III. The tier overlay district map amendments
shall be made pursuant to the procedures for map amendments to this chapter. Unlawful
conditions shall not be recognized when determining existing conditions and regulatory
requirements.
(f)Request for tier I designation.
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 102- 158(d)(2), any individual may submit an application
to the planning department containing substantial and competent documentation that an area
meets the tier I criteria. Applications must be received by July 1 of each year on a form approved
by the director of planning for consideration by the special magistrate at a public hearing
advertised at least 15 days prior to the hearing date. Said hearing by the special magistrate shall
be held prior to November 1 of each year. The director of planning will review the documentation
and any other appropriate scientific information and prepare an analysis report for the special
magistrate. The special magistrate will render a written opinion to the planning commission and
board of county commissioners either that the application meets the criteria for designating the
lands as tier I or that the documentation is insufficient to warrant a map amendment. The posting,
advertising and review will follow the procedures in section 102- 158(d)(3), (d)(4) and (d)(5).

MONROE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES FOR TIER SYSTEM
Policy 102.7.3
Monroe County shall discourage developments proposed on offshore islands by methods
including, but not limited to, designated offshore islands as Tier I Lands [9J- 5.006(3xc)6]
Policy 103.2.1
Monroe County shall implement methods including, but not limited to, designating known habitat
of the Schaus swallowtail butterfly as Tier I. [9J- 5.012(3)(c)1; 9J- 5.013(2)(c)5 and 6]
Policy 105.2.1
Monroe County shall designate all lands outside of mainland Monroe County, except for the
Ocean Reef planned development, into three general categories for purposes of its Land
Acquisition Program and smart growth initiatives in accordance with the criteria in Policy
205.1.1. These three categories are: Natural Area (Tier 1); Transition and Sprawl Reduction
Area (Tier II) on Big Pine Key and No Name Key only; and Infill Area (Tier III). The purposes,
general characteristics, and growth management approaches associated with each tier are as
follows:
Natural Area (Tier 1): Any defined geographic area where all or a significant portion of
the land area is characterized as environmentally sensitive by the policies of this Plan
and applicable habitat conservation plan, is to be designated as a Natural Area. New
development on vacant land is to be severely restricted and privately owned vacant
lands are to be acquired or development rights retired for resource conservation and
passive recreation purposes. However, this does not preclude provisions of
infrastructure for existing development. Within the Natural Area designation are typically
found lands within the acquisition boundaries of federal and state resource conservation
and park areas, including isolated platted subdivisions; and privately -owned vacant
lands with sensitive environmental features outside these acquisition areas.
2. Transition and Sprawl Reduction Area (Tier II): Any defined geographic area on Big Pine
Key and No Name Key, where scattered groups and fragments of environmentally
sensitive lands, as defined by this Plan, may be found and where existing platted
subdivisions are not predominately developed, not served by complete infrastructure
facilities, or not within close proximity to established commercial areas, is to be
designated as a Transition and Sprawl Reduction Area. New development is to be
discouraged and privately owned vacant lands acquired or development rights retired to
reduce sprawl, ensure that the Keys carrying capacity is not exceeded, and prevent
further encroachment on sensitive natural resources. Within a Transition and Sprawl
Reduction Area are typically found: scattered small non - residential development and
platted subdivisions with less than 50 percent of the lots developed; incomplete
infrastructure in terms of paved roads, potable water, or electricity; and scattered
clusters of environmentally sensitive lands, some of which are within or in close
proximity to existing platted subdivisions.
3. Infill Area (Tier III): Any defined geographic area, where a significant portion of land
area is not characterized as environmentally sensitive as defined by this Plan, except
for dispersed and isolated fragments of environmentally sensitive lands of less than
four acres in area, where existing platted subdivisions are substantially developed,
served by complete infrastructure facilities, and within close proximity to established
commercial areas, or where a concentration of non - residential uses exists, is to be
Exhibit C
Page 7 of 7
designated as an Infill Area. New development and redevelopment are to be highly
encouraged, except within tropical hardwood hammock or pineland patches of an
acre or more in area, where development is to be discouraged. Within an Infill Area
are typically found: platted subdivisions with 50 percent or more developed lots
situated in areas with few sensitive environmental features; full range of available
public infrastructure in terms of paved roads, potable water, and electricity; and
concentrations of commercial and other non - residential uses within close proximity.
In some Infill Areas, a mix of non - residential and high- density residential uses
(generally 8 units or more per acre) may also be found that form a Community
Center.
Policy 205.1.1
The County shall establish the following criteria at a minimum to use when designating Tiers:
[9J- 5.013(2)(c)9J
1. Land located outside of Big Pine Key and No Name Key shall be designated as Tier I based
on following criteria:
■ Natural areas including old and new growth upland native
vegetated areas, above 4 acres in area.
• Vacant land which can be restored to connect upland native
habitat patches and reduce further fragmentation of upland native habitat.
• Lands required to provide an undeveloped buffer, up to 500 feet in
depth, if indicated by appropriate special species studies, between natural areas and
development to reduce secondary impacts; canals or roadways, depending on size
may form a boundary that removes the need for the buffer or reduces its depth.
• Lands designated for acquisition by public agencies for conservation and natural
resource protection.
Known locations of threatened and endangered species.
• Lands designated as Conservation and Residential Conservation
on the Future Land Use Map or within a buffer /restoration area as appropriate.
Areas with minimal existing development and infrastructure.
2. Lands on Big Pine Key and No Name Key designated as .Tier I, 11, or III shall be in
accordance with the wildlife habitat quality criteria as defined in the Habitat Conservation Plan
for those islands.
3. Lands located outside of Big Pine Key and No Name Key that are not designated Tier I
shall be designated Tier III.
4. Designated Tier III lands located outside of Big Pine Key and No Name Key with tropical
hardwood hammock or pinelands of one acre or greater in area shall be designated as
Special Protection Areas.
5. Lands within the Ocean Reef planned development shall be excluded from any Tier
designation.

STATE OF FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS
In re: MONROE COUNTY LAND
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
ADOPTED BY MONROE COUNTY
ORDINANCE NO. 008-2011
FINAL ORDER
The Department of Community Affairs (the "Department ") hereby issues its Final Order,
pursuant to §§ 380.05(6), Fla. Stat., and § 380.0552(9), Fla. Stat. (2010), approving a land
development regulation adopted by a local government within the Florida Keys Area of Critical
State Concern as set forth below.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Florida Keys Area is a statutorily designated area of critical state concern, and Monroe
County is a local government within the Florida Keys Area.
2. On June 8, 2011, the Department received for review Monroe County Ordinance No. 008-
2011 ( "Ord. 008 - 2011 "), adopted by Monroe County on May 4, 2011.
3. The purpose of Ord. No. 008 -2011 is to amend or ratify the Tier Overlay District
Designations for approximately three hundred -one parcels determined to have a Tier on the Tier
Overlay District Map for Monroe County in accord with the Amended Final Order DCA 07 -GM-
166A issued in DOAH Case No. 06- 2449GM.
4. Ord. 008 -2011 assigns a tier designation for approximately three hundred -one individual
parcels, identified by Real Estate Number, which were previously assigned a tier as a result of
Amended Final Order DCA 07- GM -166A. The three hundred -one parcels were proposed for
reconsideration of the Tier designation by the Board of County Commissioners, Staff or Property
Owners and are currently competing in the Rate of Growth system which includes criteria for
Tier I, Tier III, and Tier IIIA properties.
DCA Final Order No.: DCAll -OR -149
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
5. The Department is required to approve or reject land development regulations that are
enacted, amended, or rescinded by any local government in the Florida Keys Area of Critical
State Concern. § 380.05(6), Fla. Stat., and § 380.0552(9), Fla. Stat. (2010).
6. Monroe County is a local government within the Florida Keys Area of Critical State
Concern. § 380.0552, Fla. Stat. (2010) and Rule 28- 29.002 (superseding Chapter 27F -8), Fla.
Admin. Code.
7. "Land development regulations" include local zoning, subdivision, building, and other
regulations controlling the development of land. § 380.031(8), Fla. Stat. (2010). The regulations
adopted by Ord. 008 -2011 are land development regulations.
8. All land development regulations enacted, amended, or rescinded within an area of critical
state concern must be consistent with the Principles for Guiding Development (the "Principles ")
as set forth in § 380.0552(7), Fla. Stat. See Rathkamp v. Department of Community Affairs, 21
F.A.L.R. 1902 (Dec. 4, 1998), aff d, 740 So. 2d 1209 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999). The Principles are
construed as a whole and no specific provision is construed or applied in isolation from the other
provisions.
9. Ord. 008 -2011 promotes and furthers the following Principles:
(b) To protect shoreline and marine resources, including mangroves, coral reef
formations, seagrass beds, wetlands, fish and wildlife and their habitat.
(c) To protect upland resources, tropical biological communities, freshwater
wetlands, native tropical vegetation (for example, hardwood hammocks and
pinelands), dune ridges and beaches, wildlife, and their habitat.
(e) To limit the adverse impacts of development on the quality of water
throughout the Florida Keys.
(f) To enhance natural scenic resources, promoting the aesthetic benefits of the
natural environment, and ensuring that development is compatible with the unique
historic character of the Florida Keys.

DCA Final Order No.: DCAll -OR -149
construction and operation of wastewater management facilities that meet the
requirements of ss. 381.0065(4)(1), and 403.086(l 0), as applicable, and by
directing growth to areas served by central wastewater treatment facilities through
permit allocation systems.
(n) To protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the Florida
Keys and maintaining the Florida Keys as a unique Florida resource.
10. Ord. 008 -2011 is consistent with the Principles for Guiding Development
as a whole.
11. Ord. 008 -2011 furthers Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Policy 105.2.1 and Policy
105.2.2.
WHEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Ord. 008 -2011 is found to be consistent with the
Principles for Guiding Development of the Florida Keys Area of Critical State Concern, and is
hereby APPROVED
