AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A public hearing to consider an Ordinance by the BOCC to amend the Land Use
District (Zoning) Map designation of the subject property from Urban Residential Mobile Home (URM) to Mixed Use
(MU). The subject property is legally described as Block 31, Lot 17, Maloney Sub (Plat Book 1, Page 55), Stock Island,
Monroe County, Florida, having real estate 400 1245 10.000000. (Quasi -Judicial Proceeding)
(Staff is requesting this item be continued to the June 11, 2014 BOCC meeting)
ITEM BACKGROUND: Prior to the 1986 adoption of the County's current LDR's and their associated Land Use
District maps, the property was within a BU-2 district (Medium Business) (Attachment 1 to the staff report). hi 1986, the
Land Use District Map (LUDM) was adopted for all areas of the unincorporated county. hi 1992, following a boundary
determination process, a revised map series became effective. On sheet 576 of the LUDM, the property is within an URM
district (Attachment 2 to the staff report). hi 1993, the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) was adopted for all areas of the
unincorporated county. hi 1997, this map series became effective. On map 8 of the FLUM, the property is within a Mixed
Use / Commercial (MC) category (Attachment 3 to the staff report).
The existing office/commercial/ retail use on the property is a lawful nonconforming use that has been continuously in
existence on the subject property since the 1960s. It was deemed nonconforming in 1986 when the County designated the
property URM. The existing office/commercial use is a conforming use within the MC FLUM category.
After a review of the County's records, staff has concluded that there have never been any approved mobile homes
located on the property. The property may have been inadvertently included in the URM district following an assumption
that it was part of, or associated with, the neighboring mobile home parks in existence in the 1980s.
The MU LUDM designation would eliminate a nonconformity to the permitted use provisions of the Land Development
Code. Further, MU is consistent with the MC FLUM designation, while URM is inconsistent with the MC FLUM
designation. The proposed amendment would not create a new MU district. The proposed amendment would shift the
boundary lines of an existing MU district from along the property's eastern and southern property lines to the property's
western and northern property lines.
During a meeting held on January 28, 2014, the Development Review Committee reviewed the application and
recommended approval to the BOCC. During a meeting held on March 26, 2014, the Planning Commission reviewed the
application and recommended approval to the BOCC.
