501.2.1, Policy 501.2.2, Policy 501.2.3 and Policy 501.5.3 of the Ports, Aviation and Related
Facilities Element to allow airport improvements, which may impact wetland areas when there is no
other viable alternative available, at the Key West International Airport and the Florida Keys
Marathon International Airport, consistent with the Airport Master Plan (AMP) and Airport Layout
Plan (ALP) for each public airport and consistent with all applicable federal and state
permit/authorization requirements, including mitigation for environmental impacts; 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

ITEM BACKGROUND: The Monroe County Airport Department submitted an application
requesting amendments to the Ports, Aviation and Related Facilities Element of the Monroe County
2030 Comprehensive Plan, to allow airport improvements at the Key West International Airport and
the Florida Keys Marathon International Airport, consistent with the Airport Master Plan (AMP) and
Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for each public airport. In reviewing the AMP and ALP, the Airport
Department anticipates, some of the future airport improvements may impact wetland areas when
there is no other viable alternative available. As such, the Airport Department is requesting text
amendments to Policy 501.1.7, Objective 501.2, Policy 501.2.1, Policy 501.2.2, Policy 501.2.3 and
Policy 501.5.3, to allow the public airport improvements to proceed due to the public interest for the
development and expansion of aviation and related facilities at the County's public airports, to
support the economy of the Florida Keys, relieve increasing traffic and congestion on U.S. 1, to
enhance public health, safety and welfare and to comply with federal and state requirements for the
safe and efficient operation of federally funded public airports.
The Airport Department is specifically requesting that provisions within Policy 102.1.1 (wetland
open space requirements), Policy 203.1.1 (mangrove wetland open space requirements), Policy
204.2.2 (wetland open space requirements), Policy 204.2.3 (limitation of structures and fill within
Packet Pg. 3220
Q.2
wetlands), and Policy 204.2.4 (limitation of structures and fill within wetlands) not apply to the
County public airports. The public airport projects will still continue to comply with all applicable
federal and state permit/authorization requirements, including mitigation for environmental impacts.
Examples of the types of projects that could not move forward without the proposed amendments
include: security fencing within the salt pond, a taxiway extension within a mangrove area and a
general aviation apron within a wetland area (improvements depicted in image below). These are
the type of improvements needed for operational safety improvements (preventing individuals from
accessing the airport and an additional taxiway to comply with FAA design standards) and to meet
forecasts of anticipated passenger and aircraft operational growth (parking for general aviation
aircraft and to accommodate additional aircraft during peak periods and irregular operations).

While the County's Comprehensive Plan, if amended, would no longer restrict these improvements;
the proposed amendment would still require all applicable federal and state permit/authorization
requirements, including mitigation for environmental impacts (i.e. the replacement, enhancement,
and/or preservation of environmentally sensitive lands at specified ratios based on the quality of the
impacted resource). Additionally, the improvements must be identified within the BOCC adopted
AMP and ALP; the improvements must meet federal requirements set forth by the FAA; and the
improvements must meet Monroe County Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives, and policies to the
extent practicable given required federal and state obligations, to enhance the quality of life, ensure
the safety of County residents and visitors, and protect valuable natural resources.

I The County is authorized by Florida's Airport Law of 1945 to exercise regulatory authority over
2 the Key West International Airport and the Florida Keys Marathon International Airport even
3 though the public airport facilities are located within the territorial limits of the cities. Airports in
4 the State of Florida are governed by the Airport Law of 1945, which is codified within Sections
5 332.01 - 332.12, F.S.
6
7 The Key West International Airport and Florida Keys Marathon International Airport are County
8 public airports that receive federal funding from the Federal Aviation Administration and must
9 comply with operational safety requirements and compliance directives, development restrictions,
10 and environmental protection and mitigation requirements, as set forth in the Code of Federal
11 Regulations (CFR) Title 2 Grants and Agreements and Title 14 Aeronautics and Space, and all
12 referenced and implementing guidance including; National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 4
13 Airport Improvement Program, Part 139 Airport Certification, and all applicable Orders, Advisory
14 Circulars and Program Guidance Letters (PGL). E
15

16 Both County public airports also receive state funding from the Florida Department of 0.
17 Transportation and must comply with all applicable Florida State Statutes, including Title XXV
18 Aviation, Chapters 329, 330, 331, 332 and 333, F.S. -
a.
19 t�
20 Additionally, both County public airports require an Airport Master Plan (AMP) and an Airport 0
21 Layout Plan (ALP). The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires airports to maintain and
22 update their Airport Master Plans. AMPS involve a comprehensive study of the Airport and
23 describes short-, medium-, and long-term development plan to meet future aviation needs (an
24 analysis of the airport facility requirements to determine any needed upgrades or new additions to c.
25 the airport based on forecasted data). The ALP is a depiction of the AMP and is a set of drawings
26 that shows the near-, intermediate-, and long-term facilities for an airport. iai
27
28 The Key West International Airport and Florida Keys Marathon International Airport operate
29 under strict federal and state requirements and must follow an extensive process to update, review
30 and receive approval of the Airport Master Plan (AMP) and an Airport Layout Plan (ALP). This
31 comprehensive planning process occurs every five to ten years and includes public, state and 0
32 federal agency review of the proposed future development at each airport. The updated AMP and
33 ALP requires approval by the FAA as well as the Board of County Commissioners at a public
34 meeting.
35
36 The Monroe County Comprehensive Plan defines the following relevant terms:
37 LO
38 Airport means any area of land or water, or any manmade object or facility located thereon, which is
39 used, or intended for use, for the landing and takeoff of aircraft, and any appurtenant areas that are
40 used, or intended for use, for airport buildings or other airport facilities or rights-of-way, together with
41 all airport buildings and facilities located thereon. There are both public and private airports, which are
m
42 differentiated as follows:
43 (a) A public airport is publicly or privately owned, meets minimum safety and service standards, and
44 is open for use by the public; and
45 b A private airport is publicly or privately owned and is available for use b invitation of the

10 conditions. The prevalent vegetation in wetlands generally consists of facultative or obligate
11 hydrophytic macrophytes that are typically adapted to areas having soil conditions described above.
12 These species, due to morphological, physiological, or reproductive adaptations, have the ability to
13 grow, reproduce, or persist in aquatic environments or anaerobic soil conditions. (Florida Keys N
14 wetlands include freshwater marsh, salt marsh, buttonwood, salt ponds, freshwater lenses, mangroves,
m

4 As noted, the Monroe County Airport Department submitted an application requesting
5 amendments to the Ports, Aviation and Related Facilities Element of the Monroe County 2030
6 Comprehensive Plan, to allow airport improvements at the Key West International Airport (EYW)
7 and the Florida Keys Marathon International Airport (MTH), consistent with the Airport Master
8 Plan (AMP) and Airport Layout Plan (ALP) for each public airport. Some of the airport E
9 improvements may impact wetland areas when there is no other viable alternative available and 0
10 the Airport Department is requesting text amendments to Policy 501.1.7, Objective 501.2, Policy 0.
11 501.2.1, Policy 501.2.2, Policy 501.2.3 and Policy 501.5.3, allowing the public airport
12 improvements to proceed, in accordance with federal and state law, to comply with requirements
13 for the safe and efficient operation of federally funded public airports within Monroe County. The <
14 public airport projects will continue to comply with all applicable federal and state
15 permit/authorization requirements, including mitigation for environmental impacts.
16 a
17 Specifically, the Airport Department is requesting that the provisions within Policy 102.1.1 0
18 (wetland open space requirements), Policy 203.1.1 (mangrove wetland open spaces
19 requirements), Policy 204.2.2 (wetland open space requirements), Policy 204.2.3 (limitation of 0
20 structures and fill within wetlands), and Policy 204.2.4 (limitation of structures and fill
21 within wetlands) shall not apply to the Key West International Airport and the Florida Keys
22 Marathon International Airport due to the overriding public interest for the development and
23 expansion of aviation and related facilities, including fencing, at these public airports to support the cai
24 economy of the Florida Keys, relieve increasing traffic and congestion on U.S. 1, and to enhance -
25 public health, safety and welfare.
26
27 The specified Policies relate to wetland provisions, as follows:
28 Policy 102.1.1: The County shall protect submerged lands and wetlands. The open space requirement rnI
29 shall be one hundred(100)percent of the following types of wetlands:
30 1. submerged lands
31 2. mangroves
N
32 3. salt ponds �.
33 4.fresh water wetlands
34 5.fresh water ponds
35 6. undisturbed salt marsh and buttonwood wetlands
36 Allocated density (dwelling units per acre) shall be assigned to freshwater wetlands and undisturbed <
37 salt marsh and buttonwood wetlands only for use as transferable development rights (TDRs) away
38 from these habitats. Submerged lands, salt ponds, freshwater ponds, and mangroves shall not be
39 assigned any density or intensity.

I Policy 203.1.1: The open space requirement for mangrove wetlands shall be one hundred (100)
2 percent. No fill or structures shall be permitted in mangrove wetlands except for elevated, pile-
3 supported walkways, docks,piers and utility pilings.

5 Policy 204.2.2: To protect submerged lands and wetlands, the open space requirement shall be 100
6 percent of the following types of wetlands:

10 4.freshwater wetlands;
11 5.freshwater ponds; and u
12 6. undisturbed salt marsh and buttonwood wetlands.
13 Allocated density (dwelling units per acre) shall be assigned to freshwater wetlands and undisturbed
14 salt marsh and buttonwood wetland only for use as transferable development rights away from these r_
15 habitats. Submerged lands, salt ponds, freshwater ponds and mangroves shall not be assigned any E
16 density or intensity. Within one (1) year after the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the
17 County shall revise the LDC to include a prohibition of development in salt ponds. a
18 E
19 Policy 204.2.3: No structures shall be permitted in submerged lands, mangroves, salt ponds, or
20 wetlands, except for elevated, pile-supported walkways, docks, piers, and utility pilings. No fill shall
21 be permitted in submerged lands, mangroves, salt ponds, or wetlands except,
22 1. as specifically allowed by Objective 212.5 and subsequent Policies; 0
23 2. to fill a manmade excavated water body, such as a canal, boat ramp, or swimming pool if the 0'
24 Director of Environmental Resources determines that such filling will not have a significant
25 adverse impact on marine or wetland communities; or
26 3. as needed for shoreline stabilization or beach renourishment projects with a valid public �.
27 purpose that furthers the goals of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan, as determined by the
28 County. U
29 i
30 Policy 204.2.4:No fill or structures shall be permitted in mangroves or wetlands except as allowed by 0
31 Policy 204.2.3 (as amended) and for bridges extending over mangroves or wetlands that are required _0.
32 to provide automobile or pedestrian access to dwelling units located on upland areas within the same eti
33 property for which there is no alternative means of access. Such bridges shall be elevated on pilings
34 such that the natural movement of water, including volume, rate, and direction of flow shall not be 0
35 disrupted or altered. Upland areas shall include disturbed wetlands that have been lawfully convertedi
36 into uplands through filling 0
37
38 Note, staff also recommends including Objective 204.2 (Monroe County shall not allow the loss of
39 undisturbed wetlands or the net loss of disturbed wetlands.) within the proposed amendment to U)
40 Policy 501.2.1 to eliminate any potential internal comprehensive plan inconsistencies. L�
41
42 The proposed amendment would allow some impacts to wetlands for airport improvements where
43 there is no other viable alternative available but would still require all applicable federal and state
44 permit/authorization requirements, including mitigation for environmental impacts. As noted, the
45 proposed amendment includes, 'for development at the Key West International Airport and the E
46 Florida Keys Marathon International Airport, this policy supersedes wetland restrictions for open
47 space requirements, restrictions on fill or structures in wetlands, and fencing into or through any
48 wetlands or water bodies within the land development code.... Any development and expansion of
49 aviation and related facilities at these public airports may proceed, provided the
50 improvements:...comply with all applicable federal and state permit/authorization requirements,
51 including mitigation for environmental impacts;..."

2 requirements), Policy 203.1.1 (mangrove wetland open space requirements), Policy 204.2.2
3 (wetland open space requirements), Policy 204.2.3 (limitation of structures and fill within
4 wetlands), and Policy 204.2.4 (limitation of structures and fill within wetlands) shall not apply to
5 the County public airports.

7 Examples of the types of projects that could not move forward without the proposed amendments
8 include: security fencing within the salt pond, a taxiway extension within a mangrove area and a
9 general aviation apron within a wetland area (improvements depicted in image below). These are
10 the type of improvements needed for operational safety improvements (preventing individuals
11 from accessing the airport and an additional taxiway to comply with FAA design standards) and to
12 meet forecasts of anticipated passenger and aircraft operational growth (parking for general
13 aviation aircraft and to accommodate additional aircraft during peak periods and irregular

2 improvements; the proposed amendment would still require all applicable federal and state
3 permit/authorization requirements, including mitigation for environmental impacts (i.e. the
4 replacement, enhancement, and/or preservation of environmentally sensitive lands at specified
5 ratios based on the quality of the impacted resource). Additionally, the improvements must be
6 identified within the BOCC adopted Airport Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan; the
7 improvements must meet federal requirements set forth by the FAA; and the improvements must
8 meet Monroe County Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives, and policies to the extent practicable
9 given required federal and state obligations, to enhance the quality of life, ensure the safety of

Exhibit A
Excerpt from the Key West International Airport, Airport Master Plan Update outlining proposed
airfield improvements:
Airfield
Proposed airfield improvements are as follows:
N
Taxiway A Rehabilitation, Geometry Improvements, and Lighting: The age of the pavenment combined with
the increased traffic and aircraft size has resulted in the pavement showing signs of distress and being a
potential generator of foreign-subject debris on the taxiways. Thee rehabilitation of the pavement will include
a milli and overlay. Improvements to the pavement geonmetry along Taxiway A are needed to conmply with
FAA design standards. Geometry improvenments include widening the Taxiway A connectors to allow for
cockpit-over-centerline taxiing; removing excess pavement at both the Runway g and Runway 27 entrances
fronm Taxiway A, and instailling a no-taxi island south of Taxiway C to prevent direct access from the apron to
the runway. Rehabilitation of the taxiway lighting system includes the replacement of taxiway edge light
fixtures, isolation transformers, and circuitry back to the airfield lighting vault. 0.
+ Taxiway 'A' Extension Taxiway A will be extended to the west to provide access to the runway end. A full-
length parallel taxiway willl provide additional takeoff runway length without back:taxiing on the runway. CL
Commercial Apron Expansion: Expanding the commercial terrminall apron is necessary to accommodate
additional aircraft during peak: periods and during irregular operations. This apron will :also be used to park _
large CA aircraft that the existing GA apron cannot accommodate. In addition, an expanded terminal apron
willl Allow for aircraft utilizing the existing easternmost aproni parking positions, and aircraft utilizing the
future designated CBP parking area, to power-in and power-out, rather than utilize an aircraft tug. The CL
commercial apron expansion willl also provide additnonall capacity during the expansions of the terminal. 0.
G
Overflow Aircraft Parking Ramp This project consists of the construction of approximately 29,000, square
yards of ranmp to provide additional aircraft parking positions. This ramp will be used: to park aircraft that
cannot be accommodated on the existing apron areas.
Taxiway D Relocation: This project provides for the relocation of Taxiway D 150 feet west to nmitigate the �
direct access from the apron to the runway (in compliance with FAA AC 150/5300-13A).
Runway 27 Bypass Taxiway and Safety Improvements: The extension of the runway by 200 feet to the east
world allow for the construction of a bypass taxiway to help mitigate potential delay at the Runway 27 end.
This project .also includes the construction of an Engineered Material Arresting Systenm (ENIAS) to provide a
level) of safety that is generalll'y equivallent to a full RSA built to the dimensionall standards in FAA AC,
150/530 1'3A, .Airport Design. ¢'
LO
Based on the recommended development plane for the :Airport, the following potential) environmenta6
impacts have been preliminarily identified Prior to project implementation, the potential environmental
effects of these projects will need to be reviewed: in accordance with National Environnmentall Protection
Agency (NEP.A) fecluirenments and implementing guidance in FAA Orders 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts,.-
Policies and Procedures, and 5,050.413, National Environmental Policy Act (NEP.A) Inmplenmenting Instructions
for Airport Actions, or the latest versions of those Orders at the time of environnmentall processing.
A project is considered ready for IEPA evaluation when the construction is expected to be initiated within a
few years (i.e., construction should begin within 3 years of the FAA's issuance of a finding). Thie levell of
environmental documentation required for a proposed action depends on the type of project(s), the
potential environmental' effects of the project(s), and the types of environmental resources that could be
affected.

Questions from Application
Please describe the reason for the proposed text amendment (attach additional sheets if
necessary):
The BOCC recently approved the Airport master Plan(AMP) and Airport layout Plan (AI.,P)for the Key West
International' Airport and the Florida Keys Marathon International Airport, ern January 22, 2020 and oil Jurre
17, 2020, respectively. To accomplish operation safety improvements and to meet forecasts of anticipated
passenger and aircraft operational growth over the planning period, some airport improvements may impact:
environmentally sensitive areas when there is no other viable alternative available. The proposed text changes
will allow the proposed public airport, impr«venrents to proceed due to the overriding public interest for the u
development and expansion of aviation and related facilities at these public use airports, in accordance with �
federal and state lave, to support the econorny of the Florida Keys, relieve increasing traffic and com estioll oil N
U.S. 1 to enhance public health, safety rind welfare and to comply with federal and state requirements for the
safe and efficient operation of federally funded public 111fOrtS within Monroe Cot!nty. The public airport

L.
Monroe COUnty, through the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC'), operates two public
CL
use airports including the Key West International Airport and the Florida Keys Marathon International.airport.
Ori4ginaliv called Meacham Field. the Key West International Airport (EY ) had its first scheduled flight in
1928. During the WWII era, the: airport vvas owned by the Department of Defense and used by the united —
States Army. Ili 1933, the city of Ivey West granted Monroe County clear title. to Meaeharn. Field. Shortly
thereafter, Meacham Field became Key West International Airport. Today, Ey"(4' can safely and efficiently .2
handle a large number of cornniereial aircraft operations, connecting Kcy West and Monroe County to the �
global air- transportation syst.ena_, The Airport provides an, carrier service for the Keys, serving approximately
969,000 passengers in 2019 oil flights from Delta, American, United, and. Silver. E YW also handled
approximately 31.000 ;general aviation aircraft operations in 2018. �
The Florida Keys Marathon International Airport (NITH) opened in 1943. It Was built by the Department of
Defense through the U.S. Navy as an auxiliary airlield for Naval Air Station Key° West. It vva.s deactivated as
a military, facility at the end of World War It and initially transferred to the State of Florida, and later the
Monroe County hoard of County Commissioners, for use as a civilian airport. For most of its existence, the �
C"orrnty owned-and-operated an-pon hers been a general av iation facility. It also has had scleduled passenger-
airline set-vice for more than 25 sears in the past. Orr .April 20. 2016, for the first tirrre in apprc.).vimately, three to
decades, u.S. Customs and Immigration service became a\ailable at the airport with the completion ofa new
permanent Customs and Border Protection facility located in the Ibrrncr- commercial terminal_ M-1`11 also
served an important role as a staging} and post disaster recovery` area during the Scre\vv orrn outbreak rr 20l6 cV
and the response to Ilurricarre Irma in 2017.
Arry, improvement or expansion of facilities at Ear \V and M'IH must meet all applicable federal and state
recluirenrents for operation, development, and env ironment:al pmtec.tion. Public airports that receive federal
Hording fi-oni the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must comply with operational safety requirements
and compliance directives, developrnent restrictions, and environmental protection acid mitioration
requirements,, as set forth in the.: Cade of Federal regulations(CI- )`Pitle 2, Grants and Agreements, and '1 title

Polic;4, Act (NFPA), Airport Improvement Pro(Irrmr (ALP). Print 139 Airport Certification, and all applicable
Orders, Advisory Circulars and PI.OUranr GUidanCC letters (P'C.i1_). Public airlroris that receive state funding
from the Florida Department of Transportation rrlust also comply with all applicable Florida `Mate Statutes,
including) Title XXV Aviation, Chapters 329, 330, 331, 332 and
Packet Pg. 3271
Both. Monroe County Airports, E_YW and iM I'll, operate under these strict federal and state requirernents and
must follow all extensiv°e process for update, review and approval of the Airport Master Plan (AMP) and
Airport Layout Plan (ALP) drmNinP set for each airport to ensure these requireraaents are rnet. This
comprehensive planning= process typically occurs every lice to seven }ears and Includes public, federal, and
state agency, and local review of the proposed future dee-elopment at each airport. Typical AMP and ALP
