AGENDA ITEM WORDING: CHAIRMAN RICE - Discussion and direction to staff regarding
lot splits within the City of Marathon.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The City of Marathon's land development code allows for lot divisions
within certain single family subdivisions (based on future land use and zoning designations) so long
as the density (units per acre) meets the maximum density allowed in the zoning category. For
example. One single-family lot may be used for two units, if the lot has enough square footage to
support two units, regardless of minimum lot frontage requirements. One category, Residential
Medium allows one unit per minimum area of 8,712 square feet. This provision allows two homes
to be built on a single lot (property) that would otherwise be limited to one home and requires two
BPAS (ROGO) allocations instead of one.
Monroe County zoning categories, such as Improved Subdivision, do not allow this, regardless of
how large the single-family lot is.
This City of Marathon provision aggravates the build-out problem in the Keys. It undermines the
Land Authority's land acquisition efforts to reduce density and conflicts with the goal of reducing
potential takings claims.
