Policy 101.99.4-26
If a non -conforming structure is abandoned, then such structure shall be removed

Policy 101.99.7
Any nonconforming structure may be subject to compulsory termination when it
is found detrimental to the conservation of the value of surrounding land and
improvements, or to future development of surrounding lands, and therefore is
tending to deteriorate or blight the neighborhood. In ordering the compulsory
termination of a non -conforming structure, the BOCC will establish a definite and
reasonable amortization period during which the nonconforming structure may
continue while the investment value decrement resulting from termination is
amortized. Determination of the amount to be amortized shall be based on the
value and condition of the land and improvements for the nonconforming
structure less their value and condition for a conforming structure, and such other
reasonable costs as the termination may cause. The rate of amortization shall be
in accordance with reasonable economic practice.

Priority Three
• Lands designated as Tier III for employee and affordable housing
• Lands with areas of deteriorated infrastructure where the cost of maintaining
and/or repairing the infrastructure exceeds the value of private lands
(developed or undeveloped)
• Lands for potential recreational/park development & expansion (public
access
• Lands within the FEMA "V" Zones (purchase parcels within V Zone to
encourage growth away from more vulnerable areas) [see NOTE]
Priority Four
• Key Largo wood rat & cotton mouse buffer areas* (Permit Referral Process
required by USFWS and FEMA)
• Adaptation action area** or lands in more "interior" locations for transitioning
public facilities & directing development [see NOTE]
• Lands within the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA)* * *
• Lands subject to saltwater inundation under the assumption of 3 inches to & 7
inches by 2030 [see NOTE]
Criteria for the ranking of land acquisitions within the four priority areas shall
include:
1) Consideration of the carrying capacity of the natural and man-made
systems in the Florida Keys to continually accommodate further
development, including hurricane evacuation clearance times.
2) The size and the location of the property and surrounding land uses,
including management status (adjacent ownership, consolidation of
parcels for management feasibility, maintenance costs, diversity of
habitats, and the provision of habitat buffers).
3) The habitat type on the property with preference given to:
a. Hardwood hammock & pinelands bland habitats)
b. Undisturbed wetlands
c. Disturbed wetlands
4) Minimization of fragmentation of habitats (edge effect) and potential for
successful restoration. if within a larger hammock area.
5) Percent of land surrounding the property that is already under public
ownership.
* United States Federal Emeruencv Manauement Auencv (FEMA) and United
States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) required Monroe County to implement

GOAL 105
Monroe County shall ukemaintain a comprehensive land acquisition program and smart
growth initiatives in conjunction with its Livable CommuniKeys Program in a manner that
recognizes the finite capacity for new development in the Florida Keys by providing economic
and housing opportunities for residents without compromising the biodiversity of the natural
environment and the continued ability of the natural and man-made systems to sustain livable
communities in the Florida Keys for future generations.
Obiective 105.1
Monroe County shall continue to implement smart growth initiatives in conjunction with
its Livable CommuniKeys and Land Acquisition Programs which promote innovative and
flexible development processes to preserve the natural environment, maintain and
enhance the community character and quality of life, redevelop blighted commercial and
residential areas, remove barriers to design concepts, reduce sprawl, and direct future
growth to appropriate infill areas. f § 163.3177(6)(a)2. e., F. S.I

opportunities available in the Florida Keys. Within one (1) year after the adoption
of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the County will, with input from the business
community and other stakeholders, develop an Economic Sustainability Element,
which focuses upon and promotes redevelopment.
Policy 105.1.2

ensure that future uses and development are compatible with scenic preservation
and maintenance of the character of the casual island village atmosphere of the

Obiective 105.2
Monroe County shall ifnpleFnea maintain, with assistance of the state and federal
governments, a 20-year Land Acquisition Program to: 1) secure funding for ^^ns^n*i^fl
Div ^ ^ eatte ^ r-emataing pnva ely owned environmentally sensitive
lands; 2) retire development rights on privately -owned vacant lands to limit further
sprawl and equitably balance the rights of property owners with the long-term
sustainability of the Keys man-made and natural systems; and, 3) secure and retain lands
suitable for affordable housing. This objective recognizes the finite limits of the carrying
capacity of the natural and man-made systems in the Florida Keys to continually
accommodate further development and the need for the significant expansion of the
public acquisition of vacant developable lands and development rights to equitably
balance the rights and expectations of property owners. This includes the recognition that
Monroe County must ensure public safety through the ability to maintain a 24-hour
hurricane evacuation clearance time.
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:
1. Natural Area (Tier I): 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
Future Land Use Element 127 Keith and Schnars, P.A.
Comprehensive Plan: Mar 2014
Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Update
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 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 105.2.2

areas of the County as one of the three Tiers in accordance with the guidance in
Policy 105.2.1, which shall be incorporated as an overlay on the zoning map(s)

maps are to be used to guide the Land Acquisition Program and the smart growth

GOAL 107
Monroe County shall regulate land use and development activities of scarified portions of
property with 50 percent or more environmentally sensitive land that contains an existing
nonconforming use by the enactment of area -specific regulations that allow development to
occur subject to limitations and conditions designed to protect natural resources. For this Goal to
be used, scarified portions of property shall not have been created purposefully without benefit
of permits as evidenced by pictorial aerial examination and/or other means available to the
Growth Management Division. (Ordinance 023-2011)
Obiective 107.1
Monroe County shall coordinate h-wd—tt�eLand Use with the elements of the
Comprehensive Plan through Future Land Use Element sub -area policies solely
applicable to a specific geographic area. These sub -area policies identify parcels of land
that require narrowly -tailored regulation in order to confine development potential to an
area or extent less than the maximum development potential allowed by its underlying
Future Land Use Map category. The development parameters established for each sub-
area shall be based either on an inventory of uses and facilities established on the parcel
or by data and analysis supporting the specific sub -area limitations. Environmentally
sensitive areas shall be preserved through the application of such methods as
conservation easements that require mandatory eradication of exotic invasive vegetation.

2007 4CUZ Study Table 6-2 notes:
*Uses 1 dlowed with Restictions. The land use and related structures are generally compatible.
Note 1
a) Although local conditions regarding the need for housing may require residential use in these Zones, residential use is discouraged in DNL 65-69 and strongly discouraged in DNL 70-74. The
absence of viable alternative development options should be determined and an evaluation should be conducted locally prior to local approvals indicating that a demonstrated community
need for the esidential use would not be met if development were prohibited in these Zones.
b) Wh e the community determines that these uses must be allowed, measures to achieve and outdoor to indoor Noise Level Reduction (NLR) of at least 25 dB in DNL 65-69 and NLR of 30 dB in
DNL 70-74 should be incorporated into building codes and be in individual approvals; for transient housing a NLR of at least 35 dB should be incorporated in DNL 75-79.
c) Non ial permanent construction can be expected to provide a NLR of 20 dB, thus the reduction requirements are often stated as 5, 10 or 15 dB over standard construction and normally assume
mechanical ventilation, upgraded Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings in windows and doors and closed windows year round. Additional consideration should be given to modifying
NLR levels based on peak noise levels or vibrations.

d) NL criteria will not eliminate outdoor noise problems. However, building location and site planning, design and use of berms and barriers can help mitigate outdoor noise exposure NLR
particularly from ground level sources. Measures that reduce noise at a site should be used wherever practical in preference to measures that only protect interior spaces.
Note 7
Land u e compatible provided special sound reinforcement systems are installed.
Note 8

Note 2 , 30 or 35
The nu nbers refer to Noise Level Reduction levels. Land Use and related structures generally compatible however, measures to achieve NLR of 25, 30 or 35 must be incorporated into design and
construction of structures. However, measures to achieve an overall noise reduction do not necessarily solve noise difficulties outside the structure and additional evaluation is warranted.
Also, see notes indicated by superscripts where they appear with one of these numbers.
**Uses Generally Incompatible (allowed with exceptions). The land use and related structures are generally incompatible.

The applicant does not have the right to the hearings.The statutes prescribe what number of hearings the
county must have to process amendments.That's the short answer.

Susan:
You have indicated: "It details the process and number of hearings to be followed by the enacting
entity".
You then indicated: "I can find nothing that would prevent the BOCC from having an additional process
to decide whether to initiate legislation for a private applicant's request for such amendments."
My question is: if the law details the process and number of hearings to be followed by the County and
you've indicated you find nothing that would prevent the BOCC from having an ADDITIONAL Process
—Given the fact that the proposed new process would allow the BOCC to decide to stop the applicant
from proceeding before they have the process and number of hearings outlined in the Florida Statute,
would that mean we have a legal issue on Due Process. Your email indicates this would be an additional
process. In reality, the BOCC could stop the applicant from proceeding through DRC, PC, and BOCC
for the statutorily required hearings.
Please advise.

Subject: "PRE APPLICATION" PROPOSAL FOR CP and LDR AMENDMENTS
You have asked whether the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) can establish additional
procedures than are currently followed by Growth Management for initiating legislation, such as
amendments to Land Development Regulations (LDRs) in the Land Development Code and
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, including the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). This has been
asked, I believe, in the context of whether an applicant for such amendments has a"right"to proceed
with only the prescribed statutory processes for comprehensive plan and FLUM transmittals and
adoption hearings, and statutory LDR hearings. If I have misstated that, let me know and I will reorient
m my comments.
2
Land Development Code text amendments, Comprehensive Plan amendments, including Future Land
Use Map (FLUM) amendments, are legislative in nature. I have researched the Florida Constitution,
Florida Statutes,the Monroe County Code and the BOCC Administrative Procedures. The Board of
County Commissioners is the legislative body for the county, and it controls the method by which it
initiates and processes legislation.
Chapter 125 of the Florida Statutes prescribes the number of hearings and notice requirements for
ordinances with which the county must comply. Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes discusses the
process of passing a comprehensive plan amendment. Neither chapter is oriented to the private
applicant. It details the process and number of hearings to be followed by the enacting entity, in this
case, the county, as well as participation by the public.
Currently, if an applicant for a plan amendment or LDR amendment pays a fee and files an application,
the Planning Department processes the application through the Development Review Committee, the
Planning Commission and the BOCC. I can find nothing that would prevent the BOCC from having an
additional process to decide whether to initiate legislation for a private applicant's request for such
amendments.
You asked whether such a process would be allowed in the form of a"pre-application"
statement/application and fee. If there is such a pre- application process, the Planning Commission, as
the Local Planning Agency, would also have to consider the abbreviated item on its agenda at which the
public could comment,prior to placement on the BOCC agenda. The BOCC would then vote on
whether a full application with additional fee is to be accepted, entailing a full review by staff, and the
established public hearing process.
These "pre-application"items would be on the BOCC agenda, not for a public hearing, but as either
consent or discussion items. One would anticipate members of the public appearing at both Planning
Commission and Board meetings. You would have to decide if staff would be able to make a
recommendation or not without the full application. The merits and costs of this process would have to
be evaluated.

nonwoodv groundcovers and grasses. The vegetation may include, but is not limited to, the
following nonwoodv species:
Woody vegetation that may be present includes the three species of mangroves, as well as
buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus), however, the salt marsh community is distinguished by the
dominance of nonwoodv plants, and the woody species have a coverage of less than 40 percent.
The salt marsh community may be associated and intermixed with areas of almost bare ground
on which the vegetation may be limited to masts of periphyton.

The buttonwood wetland is distinguished from the salt marsh wetland by the dominance of
buttonwood trees, usually occurring as an open stand that permits the growth of an understory of
groundcovers and shrubs. The buttonwood wetland is, in turn, distinguished from more upland
communities by the presence of graminoids and halophytic groundcovers under its open canopy,

Wetlands means those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a
frequency and a duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support, a
prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soils. Soils present in wetlands
generally are classified as hydric or alluvial, or possess characteristics that are associated with
reducing soil conditions. The prevalent vegetation in wetlands generally consists of facultative or
obligate hydrophytic macrophytes that are typically adapted to areas having soil conditions
described above. These species, due to morphological, physiological, or reproductive
adaptations, have the ability to grow, reproduce, or persist in aquatic environments or anaerobic
soil conditions. (Florida Keys wetlands include freshwater marsh, salt marsh, buttonwood, salt
ponds, freshwater lenses, mangroves, and some areas of tropical hardwood hammocks and
inelands .
Wetland Boundary means the landward extent of wetlands dominated by plant species, soils and
