AGENDA ITEM WORDING: The first of two required public hearings to consider an ordinance
by the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners adopting amendments to the Monroe
County Land Development Code to amend Section 130-75, the permitted and conditional uses of the
Airport District, to eliminate the conditional use requirement for public airports; 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 amendment to and incorporation in
the Monroe County Land Development Code; providing for an effective date. (File 2020-081)
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Monroe County Airport Department submitted an application
requesting an amendment to Land Development Code (LDC) Section 130-75, the permitted and
conditional uses of the Airport District, to eliminate the conditional use requirement for public
airports, specifically the Key West International Airport and the Florida Keys Marathon
International Airport.
The County is authorized by Florida's Airport Law of 1945 to exercise regulatory authority over the
Key West International Airport and the Florida Keys Marathon International Airport even though the
public airport facilities are located within the territorial limits of the cities.
The Key West International Airport and Florida Keys Marathon International Airport are public
airports that receive federal funding from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and must
comply with operational safety requirements and compliance directives, development restrictions,
and environmental protection and mitigation requirements, as set forth in the Code of Federal
Regulations Title 2 Grants and Agreements and Title 14 Aeronautics and Space, and all referenced
and implementing guidance including: The National Environmental Protection Act, Airport
Improvement Program, Part 139 Airport Certification, and all applicable Orders, Advisory Circulars
and Program Guidance Letters. Both public airports also receive state funding from the Florida
Department of Transportation and must comply with all applicable Florida Statutes, including Title
XXV Aviation, Chapters 329, 330, 331, 332 and 333, Florida Statutes.
Additionally, both public airports require an Airport Master Plan (AMP) and an Airport Layout Plan
Packet Pg. 3373
R.3
(ALP). The FAA requires airports to maintain and update their Airport Master Plans. The updated
AMP and ALP requires approval by the FAA as well as the Board of County Commissioners at a
public meeting.
The 2030 Monroe County Comprehensive Plan includes Policies 501.2.2, 501.5.2 and 501.5.3 which
require that the Key West International Airport and Florida Keys Marathon International Airport be
expanded consistent with the needs identified in the updated AMP as approved by the BOCC and
that Monroe County shall continue to maintain and update an AMP and the ALP for each public
airport pursuant to the rules of the FAA.
The current LDC requires a minor conditional use (for proposals less than 5,000 s.f.) and major
conditional use (for proposals 5,000 s.f. or larger) review for development projects at both County
public airports, which the Airport Department has noted, can cause delays in accomplishing projects
necessary for public health, safety and welfare. The County must complete certain projects for public
health, safety and welfare and the FAA imposes certain federal requirements regarding the
operation, development, and funding of federally obligated airports. The LDC conditional use
requirements can cause conflicts with federal requirements set forth by the FAA for public airports.
The Monroe County Airport Department has requested the LDC amendment to alleviate timing and
federal requirement conflicts as well as to streamline the level of project review for proposals within
the Monroe County Public Airports. The project review (development proposal) would be
accomplished by county staff as an as-of-right project reviewed through the building permit process
(same review with a building permit application but eliminates duplicative staff reviews).
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
In 1986, the Monroe County BOCC adopted Ordinance 033-1986 confirming the adoption of the
Monroe County Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code on February 28, 1986. The 1986
Land Development Code included a requirement for a major conditional use all airport uses at public
airports.
In 1989, the Monroe County BOCC adopted Ordinance 019-1989, amending Section 9.5-252, the
Airport District, to include a requirement for a minor conditional use for airport uses of less than
5,000 square feet and a major conditional use for airport uses of 5,000 square feet or more of
enclosed space.

U
38 The County is authorized by Florida's Airport Law of 1945 to exercise regulatory authority over the U
39 Key West International Airport and the Florida Keys Marathon International Airport even though the
40 public airport facilities are located within the territorial limits of the cities (note, the two public co
CD
41 airports are not within the Military Installation Area of Impact(MIAI)). Airports in the State of Florida CD
42 are governed by the Airport Law of 1945, which is codified within Sections 332.01 - 332.12, F.S.
43
44 The Monroe County Land Development Code defines the following relevant terms: E
45
46 Airport means any area of land or water, or any manmade object or facility located thereon, which is used,
47 or intended for use, for the landing and takeoff of aircraft, and any appurtenant areas that are used, or
48 intended for use, for airport buildings or other airport facilities or rights-of-way, together with all airport

I buildings and facilities located thereon. There are both public and private airports,which are differentiated
2 as follows:
3 (1) A public airport is publicly or privately owned, meets minimum safety and service standards, and is
4 open for use by the public; and
5 (2) A private airport is publicly or privately owned, and is available for use by invitation of the licensee.
6 Services may be provided if authorized by the Florida Department of Transportation.
7
8 Airport use means fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft operations, which may include retail sales and service 2
9 operations related to public or general aviation, including aircraft sales, repair and storage, commercial r.
10 shipping and storage, and restaurants designed to serve aviation passengers, and other airport-related m
11 public uses. However, the use of a site by any ultra-light aircraft that meets the criteria for maximum CL
12 weight, fuel capacity and airspeed established for such aircraft by the U.S. Federal Aviation U
13 Administration shall be considered an airport use if the site is within five nautical miles of either a public
14 or military airport or 3,000 feet from the boundaries of a private airport. E
15 m
16 Private airport means an area used for landing and takeoff of aircraft that is either publicly or privately
17 owned, and which is used primarily by the licensee but which is available for use by invitation of the
18 licensee. Services may be provided if authorized by the Florida Department of Transportation. The term
19 includes Sugarloaf Airport, Tavernaero Airport Park, Summerland Key Airport, Ocean Reef Airport, and a.
20 any other airport or airfield to be constructed in the county that meets these requirements. <
21 g
22 Public airport means an area used for landing and takeoff of aircraft; is either publicly or privately owned;
23 and which meets minimum safety and service standards and is open for use by the public. The term
24 includes Key West International Airport, Florida Keys Marathon Airport and any other public airport or
25 airfield to be constructed in the county that meets these requirements.
26 N
27 Public buildings and uses means uses, structures, or facilities operated by a governmental agency, W
28 including publicly and privately owned utilities, that provide services to the immediate vicinity in which
29 the use is located. c'
30
31 The Monroe County Land Development Code also establishes the purpose of the Airport District: 0
32
33 Sec. 130-27.-Purpose of the Airport District(AD). �?
34 The purpose of the AD district is to facilitate the operations of airports and their compatible uses and to
35 prohibit the development of residential uses (excluding temporary non-emergency housing), educational
36 uses (including but not limited to pre-K through high schools) and/or other uses that are characterized by
0.
37 the regular presence of large numbers of people, within the hazard areas of civil and military airports. The
38 AD district provides classifications of property for existing or future airports and regulates both uses
39 within the boundaries of public and private airports, and uses around, adjacent, and in the approach zones
40 of public and private airports in order to: U)
41 (1) Establish the control of obstructions and construction of structures affecting navigable airspace in
42 accordance with criteria delineated in volume XI, part 77 in federal aviation regulations, Florida 0
43 Department of Transportation regulations, and this LDC;
co
44 (2) Protect airports against encroachment, to implement appropriate noise abatement strategies, and to 9
45 regulate development and reduce public exposure of community activities that are not compatible N
46 with airport operations; and N
47 (3) Control uses within the public and private airport property boundaries

7 Both public airports also receive state funding from the Florida Department of Transportation and E
8 must comply with all applicable Florida State Statutes, including Title XXV Aviation, Chapters 329,
9 330, 331, 332 and 333, F.S. 2
10 c-
11 Additionally, both public airports require an Airport Master Plan (AMP) and an Airport Layout Plan
12 (ALP). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires airports to maintain and update their
13 Airport Master Plans. AMPS involve a comprehensive study of the Airport and describes short-, E
14 medium-, and long-term development plan to meet future aviation needs (an analysis of the airport
15 facility requirements to determine any needed upgrades or new additions to the airport based on
16 forecasted data). The ALP is a depiction of the AMP and is a set of drawings that shows the near-,
17 intermediate-, and long-term facilities for an airport. 0
18
19 The Key West International Airport and Florida Keys Marathon International Airport operate under 2
20 strict federal and state requirements and must follow an extensive process to update, review and
21 receive approval of the Airport Master Plan (AMP) and an Airport Layout Plan (ALP). This �-
22 comprehensive planning process occurs every five to ten years and includes public, state and federal
23 agency review of the proposed future development at each airport. The updated AMP and ALP
24 requires approval by the FAA as well as the Board of County Commissioners at a public meeting. T
25
26 The 2030 Monroe County Comprehensive Plan includes Policies 501.2.2, 501.5.2 and 501.5.3 which
27 require that the Key West International Airport and Florida Keys Marathon International Airport be
28 expanded consistent with the needs identified in the updated master plan as approved by the BOCC
29 and that Monroe County shall continue to maintain and update an AMP and the ALP for each public
30 airport pursuant to the rules of the FAA.
31
32 The current Land Development Code (LDC) requires a minor conditional use (for proposals less than
33 5,000sf) and major conditional use (for proposals 5,000sf or larger)review for development projects at
34 both county public airports, which the Airport Department has noted, can cause delays in
35 accomplishing projects necessary for public health, safety and welfare. Airport development at either
36 County public airport is completed on airport/County owned property as outlined on the approved
37 ALP for each airport. The County must complete certain projects for public health, safety and welfare UI
38 and the FAA imposes certain federal requirements regarding the operation, development and funding
39 of federally obligated airports. The LDC conditional use requirements can cause conflicts with federal ca
40 requirements set forth by the FAA for airports and airport sponsors (Monroe County) that receive co
41 federal funds for airport operations and development. I
42
cv
43 The Monroe County Airport Department has requested the LDC amendment to alleviate timing and
44 federal requirement conflicts as well as to streamline the level of project review for proposals within
45 the Monroe County Public Airports. The project review (development proposal) would be
46 accomplished by county staff as an as-of-right project reviewed through the building permit process
47 (same review with a building permit application but eliminates duplicative staff reviews). The Airport
48 Department notes that the conditional use requirements in the LDC require a level of project review

I (d) Airport Height Overlay Zones and Restrictions. There are hereby created and established
2 overlay zones around and adjacent to public, private and military airports in the county.
3 Within the AD district and overlay zones, certain height limitations are specified to prevent
4 airspace obstruction, and the use limitations apply. Uses within the overlay zones must
5 comply with the height standards and the limitations set forth below. An area located in more
6 than one zone described herein is considered to be only in the zone with the more restrictive
7 limitations. E
8 (1)Public Airport Height Restrictions.
9 a. Primary zone. The area longitudinally centered on each runway with the same length 2
10 as the runway and is 2,000 feet wide. No structure that is not a part of the landing CL
11 and takeoff area is permitted in the primary zone that is of greater height than the
12 nearest point on to the runway.
13 b. Clear zone. The area extending 1,000 feet off each end of a primary surface and is the E
14 same width as the primary surface. No structure not a part of the landing and takeoff
15 area is permitted that is a greater height than the end of the runway.
16 c. Inner horizontal zone. The area extending outward from the periphery of the primary
17 zone with an outer perimeter formed by swinging arcs of 7,500 feet radius about the 0
18 centerline at the end of each primary zone and connecting adjacent arcs by lines
19 tangent to these arcs. No structure will be permitted in the inner horizontal zone of g
20 greater height than 156 feet MSL.
21 d. Conical zone. The area extending outward from the periphery of the inner horizontal �-
22 zone for a distance of 7,000 feet. Height limits in the conical zone commence at 156
23 feet MSL at the inner boundary where it adjoins the inner horizontal zone and
24 increases in permitted height at a rate of one foot vertically for every 20 feet of T
25 horizontal distance measured outward from the inner boundary to a height of 506
26 feet MSL at the outer boundary.
27 e. Outer horizontal zone. The area extending outward from the outer periphery of the
28 conical zone for a distance of 30,000 feet. The height limit within the outer -
29 horizontal zone is 506 feet MSL.
30 f. Approach zone. The area longitudinally centered on each runway extended centerline
31 with an inner boundary 200 feet out from the end of the runway and the same width
32 as the primary zone, then extending outward for a distance of 50,000 feet, expanding
33 uniformly in width to 16,000 at the outer boundary. Height limits within the 0�
