AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A public hearing to consider approval a resolution transmitting to
the State Land Planning Agency an ordinance by the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners amending the Monroe County 2030 Comprehensive Plan, adopting the 10-Year
Water Supply Plan Update to be consistent with the South Florida Water Management District
Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update of 2018. (Legislative Proceeding)
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Planning & Environmental Resources Department is requesting to
amend the Monroe County 2030 Comprehensive Plan to adopt a 10-year Water Supply Facilities
Work Plan update, pursuant to Section 163.3177(6)(c), F.S., which requires local governments that
are subject to a regional water supply plan to update their adopted 10-year water supply facilities
work plan within 18-months of the adoption of the regional water supply plan update. The South
Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) updated its Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan on
November 8, 2018, which identifies areas where water supply, demand, and shortages are projected
to occur within the next 20 years.
The Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) references the initiatives
already identified in FKAA's 20-year Water System Capital Improvement Master Plan. According
to state guidelines, the Work Plan and associated comprehensive plan amendments must address the
development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk sales agreements and conservation
and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new development for at least a 10-year
planning period. The Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan will have the same
planning time schedule consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Lower East Coast Water
Supply Plan Update.
The adopted and presently effective Monroe County Year 2030 Comprehensive Plan includes
several Goals, Objectives and Policies (GOPs) that implement water supply concurrency and
conservation. These GOPs are located within the Potable Water Element, Intergovernmental
Coordination Element, Conservation and Coastal Management Element, Future Land Use Element
and Capital Improvements Element.

The population estimates and projections and the potable water demand projections for
unincorporated Monroe County are presented below in Table 1. The projections are through the year
2030. The population projections are consistent with the other elements of the comprehensive plan.
The water demands are for finished water.

The population estimates and projections and the potable water demand projections for the entire
FKAA service area are presented below in Table 2. The projections are through the year 2030, and
apply the adopted LOS standard of 100 gallons/capita/day to the entire service area.

The FKAA's Draft update to their 20-year Water System Capital Improvement Master Plan, Section
2, Population and Water Demand Forecast compares projected population and potable water demand
for the entire FKAA service area, with a slightly higher assumed consumption rate of 115
gallons/capita/day for their future demand projections. Based on this rate, FKAA's average daily
water demand for the entire service area is expected to increase from 17.7 MGD in 2018 to 18.9
MGD in 2030.
FKAA's current Water Use Permit provides an annual allocation of 8,751 Million Gallons (MG) or
23.98 MGD which is sufficient to meet water demand projections for the entire service area.

III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Residents of Monroe County obtain their water directly from the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority
(FKAA), which is responsible for ensuring that enough capacity is available for existing and future
customers. FKAA is the sole provider of potable water in the Florida Keys. Monroe County does not
control the water supply or water facilities; however, the County coordinates closely with FKAA.
File #2019-102 Page 1 of 5
Packet Pg. 2788
0.12.c
The purpose of the Monroe County Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) is to identify and
plan for the water supply sources and facilities needed to serve existing and new development within the
local government's jurisdiction. Chapter 163, Part 11, F.S., requires local governments to prepare and
adopt Work Plans into their comprehensive plans within 18 months after the water management district
approves a regional water supply plan or its update. The Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update
was approved by the South Florida Water Management District(SFWMD) on November 8, 2018.
E
The Work Plan references the initiatives already identified in FKAA's 20-year Water System Capital
Improvement Master Plan. According to state guidelines, the Work Plan and associated comprehensive
plan amendments must address the development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk sales
agreements and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new
development for at least a 10-year planning period. The Monroe County Work Plan will have the same
planning time schedule consistent with the comprehensive plan and the Lower East Coast Water Supply E
Plan Update. 2

made:
U)
Sections 3.8 Conservation, 3.8.1 County-wide Efforts, and 3.8.2 County Specific Actions,
Programs, Regulations, or Opportunities
• Revise the Sections to include a review of the County's existing conservation and reuse efforts to 17
determine whether they need to be updated or revised based on how they have been implemented N
or because of changes in statutory requirements. The updated information should address the
following:
o An analysis of the existing levels of water conservation, use, protection and the
applicable policies and programs of the County. The analysis should focus on how the 0
County is implementing, supporting or encouraging specific policies and programs, such
as implementation of the Mandatory Year-Round Landscape Irrigation Conservation 17
Measures, as detailed in Rule 40E-24, Florida Administrative Code.
o Identify options to conserve water, including rate structures, education programs, Florida-
friendly landscape ordinances, irrigation ordinances, etc. E
c�
Section 5.0 Goals, Objectives and Policies
• Policy 701.1.6 (page 18) is an older version of Policy 701.1.8 that was revised with the County's
existing Work Plan, adopted with Plan Amendment 4154ACSC and Monroe County Ordinance
No. 007-2016. The revision added language to the policy that adopted by reference the Work

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 �i
comprehensive plan but rather to require identification of those programs, activities, and land �s
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 0
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
