Rate of Growth Ordinance(ROGO)allocations is exhausted; and
WHEREAS, the goals of the County's Density Reduction Program are to I) reduce
ongoing development pressures and the resulting effect on hurricane evacuation clearance times,
2)reduce the demands on public facilities and infrastructure,and 3)protect property owner rights,
thus ultimately avoiding unnecessary costs associated with defending property rights claims;and
WHEREAS,the BOCC has an obligation to review County owned property and ensure
it is being maintained at its highest and best use; and
