AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Public hearing to consider a DCA Transmittal Resolution of a proposed text amendment to
the Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan requested by the Monroe County Planning Department to extend the dates of
completion for certain Objectives and Policies of the Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan was initially adopted by the Monroe
County Board of County Conunissioners on April 15, 1993. After 3 years of review and amendments, the Plan was
approved by the Florida State Department of Community Affairs and fmally adopted by the Board of County
Conunissioners on January 4, 1996.
Included in the finally adopted Plan were a number of dates-of-completion for Objectives, and Policies related to Shoreline
Development, Beach Access, Mass Transit, and Recreation/Open Space. Given the time between the original completion of
the Comprehensive Plan and the final adoption, a number of these dates-of-completion were rendered unachievable.
The Monroe County Planning Department is currently working toward the completion of the Livable CommuniKeys
Program. This program will culminate in the development of Master Plans for all of the unincorporated communities of the
Florida Keys. These Plans will, among other issues, address the Planning Objectives, and Policies mentioned above. The
Planning Department anticipates completion of the Plans by December, 2006. No changes in those Policies and Objectives
will be proposed until the completion of those Plans. It is, therefore, necessary to take the appropriate steps to extend the
dates-of-completion until December 31, 2006.
At the April 16, 2002 public meeting of the Development Review Conunittee, the Conunittee voted to recommend approval
of the proposed text to the Planning Conunission. At the May 8, 2002 public meeting of the Planning Conunission, the
Conunission voted to recommend approval of the proposed text to the Board of County Conunissioners.
