3:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A public hearing to consider an ordinance by the Monroe County
Board of County Commissioners amending the Monroe County Future Land Use Map from
Residential High (RH) to Mixed Use /Commercial (MC), for property located at 5713 First Avenue,
South Stock Island, mile marker 5, legally described as Block 34, Lots 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15,
McDonald's Plat of Stock Island (Plat Book 1, Page 55), Stock Island, Monroe County, Florida,
having Real Estate #00124700.000000, as proposed by Standard Marine Supply Corp; providing for
severability; providing for repeal of conflicting provisions; providing for transmittal to the State
Land Planning Agency and the Secretary of State; providing for inclusion in the Monroe County
Comprehensive Plan and for amendment to the Future Land Use Map; providing for an effective
date.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The applicant, Standard Marine Supply Corp., owns a light industrial
building on the subject property currently occupied by an automotive parts and repair store. The
subject property currently has a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of Residential High
(RH) and a Land Use District (Zoning) designation of Urban Residential - Mobile Home (URM). The
current use, which has been on the site since at least the 1960s, is nonconforming to the provisions of
the current Comprehensive Plan. The applicant is requesting a change to the FLUM designation in
order to eliminate the nonconformity.
The proposed FLUM amendment implements Strategy 2.2 and Action Item 2.2.1 of the Stock
Island/Key Haven Livable CommuniKeys Plan, which call for the County to resolve land use issues
by identifying and changing the land use designation on parcels of land containing non - conforming
uses and rezone as appropriate.
The proposed FLUM amendment would result in a decrease in residential development potential of
-4.3 dwelling units, an increase in transient unit development potential of +3.6 rooms /spaces, and an
increase in nonresidential development potential of +12,500 square feet.
On May 17, 2017, at a regularly scheduled meeting, the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) held a public hearing and reviewed and received public comment on the
proposed amendment. The BOCC adopted Resolution No. 138 -2017, transmitting the proposed
amendment to the State Land Planning Agency (the State of Florida Department of Economic
Opportunity — "DEO "). DEO completed its review of the proposed amendment and the County
received its Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) report on August 4, 2017. The
ORC report did not identify any objections or comments regarding the proposed amendment. The
BOCC normally has 180 days from the date the ORC was received to adopt the amendment, adopt
the amendment with changes or not adopt the amendment.
The applicant is also proposing a corresponding amendment to the Land Use District (Zoning) Map
for the subject property from URM to Mixed Use (MU). The zoning amendment is also scheduled
for a public hearing before the BOCC on January 17, 2018.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
BOCC 4/12/17 (N6): BOCC continued the public hearing to the May 17, 2017 BOCC meeting in
Key West, FL.
BOCC 5/17/17: BOCC held a public hearing and reviewed and received public comment on the
proposed amendment. The BOCC adopted Resolution No. 138 -2017, transmitting the proposed
amendment to the State Land Planning Agency (the State of Florida Department of Economic
Opportunity — "DEO ").

From: Emily Schemper, Assistant Director of Planning & Environmental Resources
Date: December 24, 2017
Subject: REQUEST BY STANDARD MARINE SUPPLY CORP TO AMEND THE FUTURE
LAND USE MAP (FLUM) OF THE MONROE COUNTY YEAR 2030
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FROM RESIDENTIAL HIGH (RH) TO MIXED

January 17, 2018
I REQUEST
On October 11, 2016, Standard Marine Supply Corp (Agent: Trepanier & Associates) submitted an
application requesting to amend the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Monroe County Year
2030 Comprehensive Plan from Residential High (RH) to Mixed Use /Commercial (MC) for property
located at 5713 First Avenue, South Stock Island, having real estate number 00124700.000000.

Proposed FLUM Designation
IL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Site Information
Location: Stock Island,
Address: 5713 First Avenue
Legal Description: Block 34, Lots 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, McDonald's plat of Stock Island
(Plat Book 1, Page 55), Stock Island, Monroe County, Florida
Real Estate Number: 00124700.000000
Owner /Applicant: Standard Marine Supply Corp
Agent: Trepanier & Associates
Size of Site: 31,250 SF (0.72 acres)
Land Use District (Zoning): Urban Residential Mobile (URM)
FLUM Designation: Residential High (RH)
Tier Designation: Tier 3
Flood Zones: AE (EL 9)
Existing Use: Light Industrial (Car Quest Auto Parts)
Existing Vegetation/Habitat: Scarified
Community Character of Immediate Vicinity: Adjacent land has FLUM designations of RH
and MC. Adjacent uses include mobile home parks, retail, restaurant, and light industrial uses.
With the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan's FLUM in 1997, the subject parcel was given its
current FLUM designation of Residential High (RH).
The subject parcel has a current Land Use District (Zoning) designation of Urban Residential Mobile
(URM). The property was within a BU -2 (Medium Business) district prior to September 15, 1986
when it was re- designated as Urban Residential- Mobile Home (URM) (the final adoption of the
Zoning map was in 1992). In 1996, Ordinance 009 -1996 amended the zoning designation of
adjacent Lots 1 -10 and 16 -20 on the same block (Block 34) from URM to Urban Residential Mobile
Home — Limited (URM -L). The revised zoning map drawn based on Ordinance 009 -1996 erroneously
included Lots 11 -15 (the subject property) within the new URM -L boundary. There has been
confusion over whether the subject parcel currently has a zoning designation of URM or URM -L.
Based on the legal description provided within the text of Ordinance 009 -1996, Lots 11 -15 were
never officially changed from URM to URM -L, and therefore the subject property has a current
zoning designation of URM.
The subject property is currently developed with a light industrial use, including a 9,963 SF auto
parts /repair building and associated outdoor storage.
The applicant is also requesting a corresponding amendment to the Zoning designation for the
property from URM to Mixed Use (MU). The subject of this staff report is the proposed FLUM
amendment
Lawful Nonconformity
On June 18, 2012, the Planning & Environmental Resources Department issued a Letter of
Development Rights Determination (LDRD) (with an addendum issued on August 13, 2012), which
File # 2016 -177 Page 2 of 12
recognized the existing light industrial use as lawfully established and also determined that the
existing building consists of 9,963 square feet.
The existing light industrial use on the subject parcel is not an allowed use in the RH FLUM
category. Monroe County Comprehensive Plan (MCCP) Policy 101.5.4 states, "the principal purpose
of the Residential High (RH) future land use category is to provide for high- density single - family,
multi - family, and institutional residential development, including mobile homes and manufactured
housing, located near employment centers," and does not refer to light industrial or other
nonresidential uses. Further, per MCCP Policy 101.5.25, the maximum intensity for nonresidential
uses in the RH FLUM is zero (0).
The existing light industrial use is therefore not consistent with the RH FLUM category, as it does
not conform to its purpose or density and intensity standards. As such, it is considered a
nonconforming use to the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, and as it was lawfully established,
the light industrial use may continue to exist per the nonconformity policies provided under
Objective 101.8.
The applicant is requesting to amend the FLUM designation from RH to MC in order to eliminate
the nonconformity. The proposed FLUM amendment, together with the associated proposed LUD
amendment from URM to MU, will eliminate the nonconformity of the use.
The current Planning & Environmental Resources Department's fee schedule (adopted August 17,
2016 by Resolution #152 -2016) includes a special provision for properties with certain
nonconforming uses. The BOCC first adopted this provision as an amendment to the fee schedule on
April 18, 2012 by Resolution #127 -2012. This resolution amended the Planning & Environmental
Resources Department's fee schedule to waive application fees for property owners applying for a
LUD map and /or FLUM amendment that eliminates a lawfully established nonconforming use
created with the final adoption of the LUD map and /or FLUM, and which does not create an adverse
effect on the community. To be exempt from the FLUM amendment application fee, the property
owner must provide satisfactory evidence that the existing use on the site also existed lawfully in
1997 and was deemed nonconforming by final adoption of the FLUM.
On August 8, 2013, Monroe County Planning staff issued a Letter of Understanding (LOU)
concerning the property (File #2013 -080; Exhibit 1). As detailed in the LOU, staff has found that
there is satisfactory evidence that the existing light industrial use on the site was lawfully
established, and also existed lawfully in 1992 and was deemed nonconforming by final adoption of
the LUD map; and the use existed lawfully on the site in 1997 and was deemed nonconforming by
final adoption of the FLUM.
In the LOU, staff also determined that, if the applicant requests a FLUM and /or LUD designation
that permits the existing light industrial use, the request would qualify for the fee exemption to the
FLUM and /or LUD Amendment. The applicant's request to change the FLUM designation of the
property to MC would permit the existing light industrial use, and the applicant's request to change
the Zoning designation to MU would permit the existing light industrial use; therefore, the requests
qualify for the fee exemption.
File # 2016 -177 Page 3 of 12
Livable CommuniKeys Plan
Comprehensive Plan Policy 101.19.1 states, "Monroe County shall develop, maintain, and update
periodically, as appropriate, with public input, the Livable CommuniKeys Community Master
Plans." These "CommuniKeys Plans" implement a vision that was developed by the local
community.
In 2007, the BOCC adopted Policy 101.19.2(5) which incorporated the Stock Island/Key Haven
Livable CommuniKeys Plan into the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan. Strategy 2.2 of the plan
states, "Review and evaluate the land use designation of lawfully established non - conforming land
uses and structures within the planning area to determine appropriate Land Use District
designation." Action Item 2.2.1 of the plan states, "Promote community character, establish
conformance and resolve land use issues by identifying and changing the land use designation on
parcels of land containing non - conforming uses and rezone as appropriate."
The proposed FLUM amendment and associated Zoning amendment implement this Strategy and
Action Item of the Stock Island/Key Haven Livable CommuniKeys Plan by resolving an existing
lawfully established land use nonconformity within the planning area.
Prior County Review
On December 13, 2016, at a regularly scheduled meeting, the Monroe County Development Review
Committee considered the proposed amendment and provided for public comment.
On January 25, 2017, at a regularly scheduled meeting, the Monroe County Planning Commission
held a public hearing for review and recommendation on the proposed Future Land Use Map
amendment and recommended approval to the BOCC (Resolution P10 -17).
On May 17, 2017, at a regularly scheduled meeting, the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) held a public hearing and reviewed and received public comment on the
proposed amendment. The BOCC adopted Resolution No. 138 -2017, transmitting the proposed
amendment to the State Land Planning Agency (the State of Florida Department of Economic
Opportunity — "DEO "). DEO completed its review of the proposed amendment and the County
received its Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) report on August 4, 2017. The
ORC report did not identify any objections or comments regarding the proposed amendment.
III. AMENDMENT REVIEW
Maximum Allocated Density and Intensity by Future Land Use Map Designation
The table on the following page provides an approximation of the development potential for
residential, transient and commercial development. Section 130- 156(b) of the Land Development
Code states: "The density and intensity provisions set out in this section are intended to be applied
cumulatively so that no development shall exceed the total density limits of this article. For example,
if a development includes both residential and commercial development, the total gross amount of
development shall not exceed the cumulated permitted intensity of the parcel proposed for
development."

As shown in the table above, the proposed FLUM amendment would result in a decrease of 4.3
dwelling units in residential development potential, an increase in transient residential development
potential of 3.6 rooms /spaces, and an increase in nonresidential development potential of 12,500 sf.
Monroe County currently does not award ROGO allocations for the development of NEW transient
residential units (e.g., hotel & motel rooms), pursuant to MCCP Policy 101.2.6. For the development
of transient units in unincorporated Monroe County, existing transient units must be transferred from
the same ROGO subarea to a parcel designated as Tier III.
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan Policy 101.4.20
Pursuant to Policy 101.4.20 (discouragement policy) of the Comprehensive Plan, private
applications which propose increases in residential allocated density must comply with the
mitigation requirements of the policy. Based on the above analysis of net change in development
potential, the proposed FLUM amendment would decrease the residential allocated density of the
site, and therefore is not subject to the mitigation requirements of Policy 101.4.20.

d. Existing Use: Light Industrial /auto repair
e. Community Character of Immediate Vicinity: Adjacent uses include mobile home parks,
commercial retail, restaurant, and light industrial uses.
The proposed change in FLUM designation is consistent with the historical use of the subject
property (light industrial) as well as the character of surrounding commercial, light industrial, and
high density residential uses.
Concurrency Analysis (Comprehensive Plan Policy 101.1.1)
Traffic Circulation (Comprehensive Plan Policy 301.1.1)
The subject property is located on Stock Island with nearest access to US1 via 2nd Street at
approximate mile marker 5. The 2015 US 1 Arterial Travel Time and Delay Study for Monroe
County indicates levels of serve (LOS) of "B" for Segment 1 (Stock Island, mm 4.0 -5.0), with 1,986
reserve trips. U. S 1 is required to maintain a LOS of "C" in order to support development.
The proposed FLUM amendment would result in a decrease in permanent residential development
potential, an increase in transient residential development potential of 3.6 rooms /spaces and an
increase in nonresidential development potential of 12,500 sf. At the time of any development
approval on the site, traffic concurrency will be reviewed and must maintain a LOS of "C" on
Segment 1 of US 1. Therefore, the proposed FLUM amendment is not anticipated to adversely
impact the Traffic Circulation LOS.
Potable Water (Comprehensive Plan Policy 701.1.1)
FKAA's Water Treatment Facility in Florida City has a maximum water treatment design capacity
of 29.8 million gallons per day (MGD). This consists of 23.8 MGD from the Biscayne Aquifer
File # 2016 -177 Page 6 of 12
through the primary conventional water treatment process and 6 MGD from the brackish Floridan
Aquifer through the secondary Reverse Osmosis (RO) treatment plant. There are also two saltwater
Reserve Osmosis (RO) plants, located on Stock Island and Marathon, which are able to produce
potable water under emergency conditions. The RO desalination plants have design capacities of 2.0
and 1.0 MGD of water, respectively. The 2015 projection for annual average daily demand is 17.76
MGD which is well below FKAA's Water Use Permit amount of 23.98 MGD.
Per Policy 701.1.1, the adopted LOS for potable water in Monroe County is 100 gal /capita /day. The
proposed FLUM amendment would result in a decrease in residential development potential, and
therefore is not anticipated to adversely impact the Potable Water LOS.
Solid Waste (Comprehensive Plan Policy 801.1.1)
Monroe County has a contract with Waste Management through September 30, 2024. The contract
authorizes the use of in -state facilities; thereby, providing the County with approximately seven
years of guaranteed capacity for the haul out and disposal of 95,000 tons /year of solid waste not
including yard waste.
The proposed FLUM amendment would result in a decrease in residential development potential,
and therefore no additional solid waste demand. Solid waste for nonresidential development is
handled by private contract. Therefore, the proposed FLUM amendment is not anticipated to
adversely impact the Solid Waste LOS.
Sanitary Sewer (Comprehensive Plan Policy 901.1.1)
The property is connected to the Key West Resort Utilities sewer system. The proposed FLUM
amendment would result in a decrease in residential development potential, and is not anticipated to
adversely impact the Sanitary Sewer LOS.
A. The proposed amendment is consistent with the following Goals, Objectives and Policies of
the Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, it furthers:
Goal 101
Monroe County shall manage future growth to enhance the quality of life, ensure the safety of
County residents and visitors, and protect valuable natural resources.
Objective 101.1
Monroe County shall ensure that all development and redevelopment taking place within its
boundaries does not result in a reduction of the level -of- service requirements established and
adopted by this comprehensive plan. Further, Monroe County shall ensure that comprehensive plan
amendments include an analysis of the availability of facilities and services or demonstrate that the
adopted levels of service can be reasonably met.
File # 2016 -177 Page 7 of 12
Objective 101.5
Monroe County shall regulate future development and redevelopment to maintain and enhance the
character of the community and protect natural resources by providing for the compatible
distribution of land uses consistent with the designations shown on the Future Land Use Map.
Policy 101.5.6
The principal purpose of the Mixed Use /Commercial (MC) future land use category is to provide for
the establishment of mixed use commercial land use (zoning) districts where various types of
commercial retail and office may be permitted at intensities which are consistent with the
community character and the natural environment. Employee housing and commercial apartments
are also permitted. In addition, Mixed Use /Commercial land use districts are to establish and
conserve areas of mixed uses, which may include maritime industry, light industrial uses,
commercial fishing, transient and permanent residential, institutional, public, and commercial retail
uses.
This future land use category is also intended to allow for the establishment of mixed use
development patterns, where appropriate. Various types of residential and nonresidential uses may
be permitted; however, heavy industrial uses and similarly incompatible uses shall be prohibited.
The County shall continue to take a proactive role in encouraging the preservation and enhancement
of community character and recreational and commercial working waterfronts.
Objective 101.8
Monroe County shall eliminate or reduce the frequency of uses which are inconsistent with the
applicable provisions of the land development regulations, zoning districts, Future Land Use
categories and the Future Land Use Map. In Monroe County, some nonconforming uses are an
important part of the community character and the County desires to maintain such character and
protect these lawfully established, nonconforming uses and allow them to be repaired or replaced.
GOAL 102
Monroe County shall direct future growth to lands which are most suitable for development and
shall encourage conservation and protection of environmentally sensitive lands (wetlands, beach
berm and tropical hardwood hammock).
Stock Island/Key Haven Livable CommuniKeys Master Plan
Strategy 2.2
Review and evaluate the land use designation of lawfully established non - conforming land uses and
structures within the planning area to determine appropriate Land Use District designation.
Action Item 2.2.1
Promote community character, establish conformance and resolve land use issues by identifying and
changing the land use designation on parcels of land containing non - conforming uses and rezone as
appropriate.
File # 2016 -177 Page 8 of 12
B. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Principles for Guiding Development for the
Florida Keys Area, Section 380.0552(7), Florida Statutes.
For the purposes of reviewing consistency of the adopted plan or any amendments to that plan with

Specifically, the amendment furthers:
163.3161(4), F.S. — It is the intent of this act that local governments have the ability to preserve and
enhance present advantages; encourage the most appropriate use of land, water, and resources,
consistent with the public interest; overcome present handicaps; and deal effectively with future
problems that may result from the use and development of land within their jurisdictions. Through
the process of comprehensive planning, it is intended that units of local government can preserve,
promote, protect, and improve the public health, safety, comfort, good order, appearance,
convenience, law enforcement and fire prevention, and general welfare; facilitate the adequate and
efficient provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, recreational facilities, housing,
and other requirements and services; and conserve, develop, utilize, and protect natural resources
within their jurisdictions
163.3161(6), F.S. - It is the intent of this act that adopted comprehensive plans shall have the legal
status set out in this act and that no public or private development shall be permitted except in
conformity with comprehensive plans, or elements or portions thereof, prepared and adopted in
conformity with this act.
163.3177(1), F.S. - The comprehensive plan shall provide the principles, guidelines, standards, and
strategies for the orderly and balanced future economic, social, physical, environmental, and fiscal
development of the area that reflects community commitments to implement the plan and its
elements. These principles and strategies shall guide future decisions in a consistent manner and
shall contain programs and activities to ensure comprehensive plans are implemented. The sections
of the comprehensive plan containing the principles and strategies, generally provided as goals,
objectives, and policies, shall describe how the local government's programs, activities, and land
development regulations will be initiated, modified, or continued to implement the comprehensive
plan in a consistent manner. It is not the intent of this part to require the inclusion of implementing
regulations in the comprehensive plan but rather to require identification of those programs,
activities, and land development regulations that will be part of the strategy for implementing the
comprehensive plan and the principles that describe how the programs, activities, and land
development regulations will be carried out. The plan shall establish meaningful and predictable
standards for the use and development of land and provide meaningful guidelines for the content of
more detailed land development and use regulations.

b. The projected permanent and seasonal population of the area.
c. The character of undeveloped land.
d. The availability of water supplies, public facilities, and services.
e. The need for redevelopment, including the renewal of blighted areas and the elimination of
nonconforming uses which are inconsistent with the character of the community.
f. The compatibility of uses on lands adjacent to or closely proximate to military installations.
g. The compatibility of uses on lands adjacent to an airport as defined in s. 330.35 and consistent
with s. 333.02.

expanded. Normal maintenance and repair to permit continuation of nonconforming uses
registered in accordance with MCC § 102-5 5 may be performed.
The floor area within the existing building may be used in its entirety for the light industrial use,
which includes storage, and administrative activities associated with the light industrial use. In
addition, limited outdoor storage may exist. Outdoor storage a) may not be located in a required
setback (per MCC §130-186), b) may not include any items that would result in significant
