ITEM BACKGROUND: Currently, there are two sets of maps that directly relate to permitted land uses. First,there is the zoning or official Land Use District Map associated with the Monroe County Land Development Code. Second,there is the FLUM associated with the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan. Land Use District Map (see Exhibit 1and 2) In 1986, the County adopted a revised set of zoning regulations and series of land use district (zoning)maps (known as the PattisonMaps) for all areas of the unincorporated county. In 1992, a revised series of land use district (zoning)maps (known as the Craig Maps) was adopted for all areas of the unincorporated county. These maps depicted boundary determinations carried out between 1986 and 1988. The Craig Maps remain the official zoning maps of Monroe County; however, the maps as originally printed do not contain all of the amendments carried out from 1992 to date. These modifications are found on errata maps/ordinance and arealso depicted on the Monroe County GIS database. Future Land Use Map(see Exhibit 3 and 4) In 1993, the County adopted a Future Land Use Map (found in-compliance in 1997). The 1997 FLUM remains the official future land use map of Monroe County. However, the maps as originally printed do not contain all of the amendments carried out from 1993 to date. These modifications are found on errata maps/ordinance and are also depicted on the Monroe County GIS database. As part of the evaluation and appraisal of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, Keith and Schnars, P.A., will be conducting a compatibility analysis of existing land uses to the Future Land Use Designations. Monroe County can utilize this compatibility analysis to propose future amendments to theFuture Land Use Map Series to correct inconsistencies. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: In 1986, the County adopted a revised set of zoning regulations. Ordinance #33-1986 memorialized the approval. Ordinance #33-1986 also approved a revised series of zoning maps (known as the 1986 Pattison Maps) for all areas of the unincorporated county. In 1992, a revised series ofzoning maps was approved (known as the Craig Maps) for all areas of the unincorporated county. These maps depicted boundary determinationscarried out between 1986 and 1988. The Monroe County Land Development Regulations, portions of which are adopted by Rule 28-20.021, F.A.C., and portions of which are approved by the Department of Community Affairs in Chapter 9J-14, F.A.C., were amended effective August 12, 1992. The official Land Use District Map was revised to reflect the changes in this rule. The Craig Maps remain the official zoning maps of Monroe County. In 1993, the County adopted a set of Future Land Use Maps pursuant to a joint stipulated settlement agreement and Sec. 163.3184,Florida Statutes. Ordinance #016-1993 memorialized the approval.

First,there is the 8FLUM associated with the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan.Second, there is the zoning or 9official Land Use District Map associated with the Monroe County Land Development 10Regulations, also known as the Land Development Code. 11 12Zoning / LandUse District Maps: 13In 1960, Monroe County adopted its first zoning regulations that referenced zoning or land use 14districts. Resolution #Z-1 memorialized the approval.Zoning designations for specific 15properties were established by ordinance. 16 17In 1973, Monroe County adopted a revised set of zoning regulations that continued to reference 18zoning or land use districts. Ordinance #1-1973 memorialized the approval. Ordinance #1-1973 19also approved a series of zoning maps for all areasof the unincorporated countyby reference 20(also known as the pre-1986 zoning maps).These maps were effective from their approval in 211973 until the adoption of Ordinance #033-1986 in 1986. 22 23In 1986, Monroe County adopted a revised set of zoning regulations that continued to reference 24zoning or land use districts. Ordinance #33-1986 memorialized the approval.Ordinance #33- 251986 also approved a revised series of zoning maps (also known as the Pattison Maps) for all 26areas of the unincorporated countyby reference.This map series was signed by then Planning 27Director Charles Pattison in 1986 and consisted of 21 sheetsscaled at 1”=1000’. The Pattison 28Mapswere effective from their approval in 1986 until the final approval of revised maps in 1992. 29 Page 1of 2 1In 1992, a revised seriesof zoning maps was approved (also known as the Craig Maps) for all 2areas of the unincorporated county. These maps depicted boundary determinations carried out 3between 1986 and 1988, depicted parcel lines and were drawn at a more usable scale.This map 4series was signed by then Planning Director Donald Craig in 1988 and consisted of 583sheets 5scaled at 1”=20’. 6 7Although signed in 1988, the Craig Maps did not receive final approval until 1992. The Monroe 8County Land Development Regulations, portions of which are adopted by Rule 28-20.021, 9F.A.C., and portions of which are approved by the Department of Community Affairs in Chapter 109J-14, F.A.C., were amended effective August 12, 1992. The Land Use District Map was 11revised to reflect the changes in thisrule. 12 13The Craig Maps remain the official zoning maps of Monroe County. However, the maps as 14originally printed do not contain all of the amendments carried out from 1992 to date. These 15modifications are found on errata maps/ordinance and are also depicted on the Monroe County 16GIS database. 17 18Future Land Use Maps(FLUM): 19In 1993, the County adopted a set of Future Land Use Maps pursuant to a joint stipulated 20settlement agreement and Sec. 163.3184 Florida Statutes. The Ordinance #016-1993 21memorialized the approval.This map series was dated 1997 and consisted of 8sheets scaled at 221”=2,000’. 23 24The 1997FLUM remains the official future land use map of Monroe County. However, the 25maps as originally printed do not contain all of the amendments carried out from 1993 to date. 26These modifications are found on errata maps/ordinance and are also depicted on the Monroe 27County GIS database. 28 29Interpretation: 30Pursuant to MCC §102-21(b)(2)h., it is the authority and duty of the Planning Director to render 31interpretations of the Land Use District Map and FLUM. 32 33Recommendation: 34Concerning the Land Use District (Zoning) Map, due to the volume of map amendments and 35boundary determinations carried out since the current Land Use District Map’s initial adoption, 36the printed Craig maps (official zoning maps) do not reflect the current zoning designations. An 37up-to-date map series could be produced to reflect the numerous changes carried out. 38 39Concerning the FLUM, the high scale of the map series (1”=2,000’) originally adopted (sample 40attached as Exhibit 3) and the lack of depictions of roadways and parcel lines,lead to many 41interpretive boundary decisions by the Planning Director. An up-to-date series could be drawn at 42a more usable scale and include other elements.This updated map series could be produced after 43the completion of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report, which includes a compatibility analysis 44of existing land uses to the Future Land Use Designations. Thecompatibility analysiscan be 45utilized to identify and correct inconsistencies between the existing land uses to the Future Land 46Use Designations. Page 2of 2
