AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution by the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners approving the reservation of one hundred and four (104) dwelling unit allocations,
pursuant to the 380 Agreement with the state and municipalities to transfer 104 Key West BPAS
units to Monroe County for the proposed affordable housing project known as "the Quarry," by
Quarry Partners, LLC, at property located at approximate mile marker 9, described as a parcel of
land in Section 21, Township 67 South, Range 26 East, Big Coppitt Key, Monroe County, Florida,
having real estate numbers 00120940 - 000100, 00120940 - 000201, and 00120940 - 000302, until July

ITEM BACKGROUND:
On December 14, 2016, the BOCC adopted Resolution 323 -2016 reserving ninety -six (96)
affordable housing ROGO allocations consisting of Forty -Four (44) Low income (60 %), Twenty
(20) Medium income (100 %) and Thirty -Two (32) Moderate Income (120 %) affordable ROGO
allocations for a parcel of land in Section 21, Township 67 South, Range 26 East, Big Coppitt Key,
Monroe County, Florida, Having Real Estate Number 00120940 - 000100 until December 15, 2017.
In June 2017, Quarry Partners, LLC, submitted applications for a development agreement and major
conditional use for development of the property as a 208 - dwelling unit affordable housing project.
The reservation of affordable housing allocations for the anticipated Project does not exempt the
project from applicable requirements in the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan (including the
requirement for a development agreement), Land Development Code, Building Code, and other
regulatory requirements.
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." 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.

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.
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.
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. In the event building permits are not issued for "the Quarry"
project on or before June 30, 2019, the BPAS units awarded by Key West will remain with Monroe
County as affordable ROGO units to be awarded by Monroe County for Affordable/Workforce
Housing residential uses in Monroe County south of Mile Marker 26.
