RE:
September 19, 2001
Coastal Barrier Resources System Overlay District
STAFF REPORT
I. Background
The Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) of 1982 established the Coastal Barrier Resources System
(CBRS) to restrict the federally subsidized development of coastal barrier areas. In 1990, Congress
passed the Coastal Barrier hnprovement Act (CBIA). The CBIA tripled the size of the System
established by the CBRA. The CBIA also prohibits the issuance of new Federal flood insurance
within "otherwise protected areas" on buildings constructed after November 16, 1991, unless the
building is used in a manner consistent with the pwpose for which the area is protected. By restricting
Federal expenditures and financial assistance which have the effect of encouraging development of
coastal barriers, Congress aimed to minimize the loss of human life, wasteful expenditure of Federal
revenues, and damage to fish, wildlife, and other natural resources associated with coastal barriers
along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts. Specifically prohibited under the statute is the
"construction or purchase of any structure, appurtenance, facility, or related infrastructure" 16 US.c.
3504(a)(1).
Areas designated as units in the Coastal Barrier Resources System are primarily undeveloped areas
including wetlands, offshore islands, ridge hammock, dunes, and similar ecosystems. These areas are
highly susceptible tidal fluctuation and serve as a buffer for upland areas against severe storm events.
Additionally, units in the CBRS contain a multitude of wildlife and fish habitats. Monroe County has
15 designated units of the CBRS which can be found listed in table 3.21 of the Year 2010
Comprehensive Plan Technical Document and illustrated on the Existing Land Use Maps of the
Comprehensive Plan Map Atlas.
Consistent with the intent behind the CBRA and CBIA, Objective 102.8 of the Monroe County Year
2010 Comprehensive Plan states: "Monroe County shall take actions to discourage private
development in areas designated as units of the Coastal Barrier Resources System [9J-5.006(3)(b)4]."
Supporting Objective 102.8 of The Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan are Policies
1 02.8.1 through I 02.8.5, which include: assigning negative points in the ROGO system to
development located in a CBRS unit, the prohibition of constructing new roads on or to units within
the CBRS, and discouraging the extension of public facilities and services. Policy 102.8.5 states:
W:\Planning\Working Folders\will-robert\CBRS\CBRS Staffreport.doc
Page 1 of3
"Upon adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, Monroe County shall iniJillte efforts to
discourage the extension of facilities and services provided by the Florida Keys Aqueduct
Authority and private providers of electricity and telephone services to CBRS units. "
On current Flood Insurance Rate Maps published for the National Flood Insurance Program by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency, there are five developed residential areas (five structures or
less per acre) and one commercial area that fall within the CBRS designation. The developed areas
that are within designated CBRS units are:
1. Tamarino Acres subdivision in northern Key Largo
2. Maderia Village subdivision in northern Key Largo
3. Ocean Reef Shores subdivision in northern Key Largo
4. A parcel zoned SR on the mid-western coast of Big Torch Key
5. All areas of No Name Key except lots on and adjacent to Spanish Channel Drive, Bahia
Shores Road, and No Name Drive.
6. The southwestern-most peninsula in Safe Harbor on Stock Island (zoned MI).
Five of the six developed areas within the CBRS units are currently served by public infrastructure,
including electricity. Only the areas located on No Name Key have neither public water nor electric
service, however telephone service is available.
The Coastal Barrier Resources System Overlay District shall not be applied to Stock Island because
the area within the CBRS Unit on Stock Island contains only marine industrial development and all of
Stock Island is targeted to be served by centralized wastewater treatment services.
II. Methodology and Legal Authority
Policy 102.8.5 of the Year 2010 Plan enables the County to implement methods with which to restrict
the extension of public service facilities to or through CBRS units. Policy 102.8.5 states:
"Upon adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, Monroe County shall initiate efforts to
discourage the extension of facilities and services provided by the Florida Keys Aqueduct
Authority and private providers of electricity and telephone services to CBRS units. "
In addition to the above stated policy specifically regarding extension of facilities to CBRS units, the
following Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Year 2010 Plan support the restriction on the
development of and access to units of the Coastal Barrier Resources System:
· Goal 209 and Objective 209.3;
· Objective 215.2, Policy 215.2.1 and Policy 215.2.3;
· Objective 1301.7 and Policy 1301.7.12.
The Planning Department proposes the addition of Section 9.5-258 to the Monroe County Land
Development Regulations (LDRs). This section establishes a Use Overlay for areas designated as
CBRS units. This Use Overlay can be placed on any new or existing zoning district as appropriate.

III. Proposed Text
Upon further research, minor changes to the staff report and proposed text have been made since
approval by the Development Review Committee. Changes include:
1) Additional background research in the report to further illustrate consistency with the Year
2010 Plan and
2) Further definition of the type of public services to be prohibited by this overlay.
The following new text shall be added to the Monroe County Land Development Regulations:
9.5-258 Coastal Barrier Resources System Overlay District
(a) Purpose. The purpose of the Coastal Barrier Resources System Overlay District is to
implement the policies of the comprehensive plan by prohibiting the extension and expansion, of
specific types of public utilities to or through lands designated as a unit of the Coastal Barrier
Resources System.
(b) Application. The Coastal Barrier Resources System Overlay District shall be overlaid on
all areas, except for Stock Island, within federally designated boundaries of a Coastal Barrier
Resources System Unit on current Flood Insurance Rate Maps approved by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, which are hereby adopted by reference and declared part of this chapter.
Within this overlay district, the transmission and/or collection lines of the following types of public
utilities shall be prohibited from extension or expansion: central wastewater treatment collection
systems; potable water; electricity; and telephone and cable. This prohibition shall not preclude the
maintenance and upgrading of existing public utilities in place on the effective date of this ordinance
and shall not apply to wastewater nutrient reduction cluster systems.
