ITEM BACKGROUND:
Lower Keys Community Center Corp. (the Applicant) is requesting an extension of the reservation
for twenty-eight(28) low-income category affordable ROGO allocations pursuant to Monroe County
Land Development Code (LDC) Section 138-24(b)(2).
Lower Keys Community Center Corp. is proposing to develop the property with twenty-eight (28)
affordable-employee housing units. At a regularly scheduled public meeting held on November 20,
2018, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC or"Monroe County") adopted
Resolution No. 411-2018, reserving twenty-eight (28) low-income category affordable ROGO
allocations pursuant to Section 138-24(b)(2) of the Monroe County Land Development Code, for the
proposed employee dwelling unit development, to expire if building permits were not obtained by
November 20, 2019. On January 22, 2020, the BOCC adopted Resolution No. 028-2020, extending
the reservation of twenty-eight (28) low income category affordable ROGO allocations pursuant to
Section 138-24(b)(2) of the Monroe County Land Development Code, for the proposed employee
dwelling unit development, to November 20, 2020.
The Applicant has been awarded Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) financial assistance
from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) to offset the costs of its proposed twenty-
eight (28) unit development (project), and has been pursuing the project, including hosting three
community meetings to solicit feedback and ideas from property owners in the Lower Keys,
incorporating such ideas into development design, and working with the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT)regarding the feasibility of various traffic and access modifications.

On December 16, 2020, the Monroe County Planning Commission approved the owner's request for
a major conditional use permit for development of the proposed housing units on the property, via
Resolutions P35-20 and P36-20.
The subject request is for a one-year extension of the reservation. If building permit(s) are not
obtained by November 20, 2021, the reservation will expire.
The subject property is outlined below in blue. Please note that the proposed site plan submitted with
the conditional use permit application only utilizes the eastern —77% of the property and reserves the
remainder for future development. The portion of the site utilized for housing still meets the density
requirements under the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code for the site's Land Use District
Zonm and Future Land Use Ma (FLUM)designations.
