WHEREAS, the State of Florida and all local governments in the Florida Keys (each subject to
Area of Critical State Concern mandates relating to housing affordability) recognize the need for
affordable housing throughout the state and particularly in the Florida Keys where developable land for
housing is extremely limited and expensive; and
WHEREAS, the challenge of providing affordable housing opportunities in the Florida Keys is
one requiring sensible and responsive use of residential unit allocations, including implementation of
long -term preservation mechanisms; and
WHEREAS, due consideration should be given to relevant factors such as the capacity for
allocation recipients to promptly transform allocation awards /reservations into finished and occupied
affordable housing units; and
WHEREAS, the developers have legitimate needs for some assurance that allocations are in fact
and will remain available and/or justified for a reasonable time so that follow- through on initial
commitments will in fact be justified; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 138- 24(b)(2) of the Monroe County Land Development
Code allows the BOCC to authorize reservations for "specific affordable or employee housing projects
participating in a federal /state housing financial assistance or tax credit program or receiving some form
of direct financial assistance from the county upon written request from the project sponsor and
approved by resolution of the board of county commissioners," and
WHEREAS, the "THE QUARRY" project obtained Low Income Tax Credit Housing ( LIHTC)
assistance for the development of the 96 units and the project is submitting for additional LIHTC
assistance and State Apartment Incentive Loan program (SAIL) financing as part of its Two Hundred
Eight (208) dwelling unit proposed development; and
WHEREAS, Key West has a certain number of unallocated BPAS units accumulated in years
one (1) through four (4) which the City desires to allocate to an Affordable Housing/Workforce Housing
project ( "The Quarry ") located on Big Coppitt Key, which is beyond the jurisdictional boundary limits
of Key West, and
WHEREAS, Key West has approved a Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment which has
been rendered to the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) for review and comment pursuant to
the State Coordinated Review Guidelines of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, which would allow the
transfer of 104 BPAS units to Monroe County for the Workforce Housing /Affordable Housing Project
known as "The Quarry," located on Big Coppitt Land Use Area 1 at approximate Mile Marker 9; and
WHEREAS, a 380 Agreement is being entered into by and between the Department of
Economic Opportunity (DEO), Monroe County, the City of Key West, Islamorada, Village of Islands,
the City of Layton, and the City of Marathon ( the " Local Governments ") (all collectively known as the
"Parties ") for the purpose of Complying with Rules 28 -18, 28 -19, and 28 -20, of the Florida
Administrative Code, and as provided for in Section 380.032(3), Florida Statutes; and
WHEREAS, upon effectiveness of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Key West and the
execution of the 380 Agreement by the Parties, the City of Key West shall transfer 104 previously
unallocated BPAS units to Monroe County for "The Quarry" project on Big Coppitt Key for the
construction of workforce housing /affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, in the event building permits are not issued for "the Quarry" project on or before

ROGO units to be awarded by Monroe County for Affordable/Workforce Housing residential uses in
Monroe County south of Mile Marker 26; and
WHEREAS, the reservation of affordable housing allocations for the anticipated Project does
not exempt the project from applicable requirements in the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan

other regulatory requirements; and
