Department: Planning
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Second of two public hearings or the "amendment" hearing to consider a request filed by
the Monroe County Department of Public Works to amend the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) from Residential Medium
(RM) to Public Facilities (PF) for property located on US 1, described as Lot 1, Cudjoe Gardens Eighth Addition, P.B.
7,Pg.16, Cudjoe Key, Monroe County, Florida, approximate Mile Marker 21.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The Monroe County Sheriff's Office seeks to expand their substation located on Lot One (1),
Block 23, Cudjoe Gardens, 8 Tb Addition. Lot 1 was gifted to Monroe County in 1984. The substation was built in 1988 on
Lot One (1).
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation is Residential Medium (RM). During the past year, Monroe County
adopted an ordinance that establishes overlay districts to permit future land use categories that have no corresponding land
use designations. These categories include Agriculture (A), Education (E), Institutional (INS), Public Facilities (PF), and
Public Buildings (PB). This ordinance became effective on October 19,2001.
The Monroe County Sheriffs Department is seeking a change in the FLUM from Residential Medium (RM) to Public
Facilities (PF). The adoption of the overlay ordinance allows the Sheriffs substation to expand with the density as detailed
in the Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan while still protecting the residential character of the neighborhood.
In accordance with the overlay ordinance, the public will have the opportunity to provide comment prior to development
approval. The ordinance permits the application of the overlay district in the Improved Subdivision district to the standards
and procedures of a major conditional use.
At the public meeting of the Monroe County Development Review Committee held on February 1,2002, the Committee
voted to approve the application as presented. At the public meeting of the Monroe County Planning Commission held on
March 13, 2002, there was discussion of including Lots 2 and 3 which abut Lot 1, however, due to deed restrictions on Lots
2 and 3, it was determined that while all 3 lots were gifted to the County, the deed restrictions on Lots 2 and 3 would
prohibit their use as potential expansion parcels for the Sheriffs Substation. As a result, Lots 2 and 3 were excluded from
the original proposal that was reviewed by the Development Review Committee. The fIrst public hearing, or "transmittal"
hearing of the BOCC was held on April 17, 2002. The Planning Department transmitted the draft ordinance to the
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for its consideration. The DCA has reviewed the proposed amendments and on
October 28, 2002, advised the BOCC that they had no objections to the proposed amendments as transmitted.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOARD ACTION: At a public hearing of April 17, 2002, the BOCC approved a resolution
authorizing the Planning Department to transmit a draft ordinance to amend the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to the DCA
for review.

W:\Planning\Working Folders\Gross-Fred\Sheriffs Substation\BOCC Staff Report .doc
Background:
The Monroe County Sheriffs Office seeks to expand their substation located on Lot One (1), Block 23,
Cudjoe Gardens, 8 10 Addition. Lot 1 was gifted to Monroe County in 1984. As stated on the deeds,
the condition of this gift limited the use on the lots to a "complete" Sheriffs Substation and "quarters"
for an ambulance crew. The substation was built in 1988 on Lot One (1).
The current land use district is Improved Subdivision (IS) and the Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
designation is residential Medium (RM). During the past year, Monroe County adopted an ordinance
an ordinance that establishes overlay districts in order to permit future land use categories that have no
corresponding land use designations. These categories include Agriculture (A), Education (E),
Institutional (INS), Public Facilities (PF), and Public Buildings (PB). This ordinance became effective
on October 19, 2001.
The Monroe County' Sheriffs Department is seeking a change in the FLUM from Residential Medium
(RM) to Public Facilities (PF). The adoption of the overlay ordinance allows the Sheriffs substation to
become a conforming use and to expand in accordance with the density as detailed in the Monroe
County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan while still protecting the residential character of the
neighborhood. In accordance with the overlay ordinance, the public will have the opportunity to
provide comment prior to development approval. The ordinance permits the application of the overlay
district in the Improved Subdivision district to the standards and procedures of a major conditional use.
At a public meeting of the Monroe County Development Review Committee held on February 1, 2002,
the Committee voted to approve the application as presented.
At a public meeting of the Monroe County Planning Commission held on March 13, 2002, there was
discussion of including Lots 2 and 3 which abut Lot 1, however, due to deed restrictions on Lots 2 and
3, it was determined that while all 3 lots were gifted to the County, the deed restrictions on Lots 2 and
3 would prohibit their use as potential expansion parcels for the Sheriffs Substation. As a result, Lots
2 and 3 were excluded from the original proposal that was reviewed by the Development Review
Committee.
The first public hearing, or "transmittal" hearing of the BOCC was held on April 17, 2002. The
Planning Department transmitted a draft ordinance amending the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to the
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for its consideration. The DCA has reviewed the proposed
amendment and on October 28, 2002, advised the BOCC that they had no objections to the proposed
amendment as transmitted.
ANALYSIS AND RATIONALE FOR CHANGE (Pursuant to Section 9.5-511(d)(5)(b) and
Chapter 163. Florida Statutes):
The Monroe County Code identifies six (6) conditions, which must be met in order for the Board of
County Commissioners to approve a change to the existing land use designations.
Page 2 of6
W:\Planning\Working Folders\Gross-Fred\Sheriffs Substation\BOCC Staff Report .doc
Changed Projections:
Currently, the Monroe County Sheriffs Department operates a sheriffs substation including Emergency
Management Services (EMS) on Lot One (1) in Cudjoe Gardens. The equipment housed at this facility
includes emergency response vehicles such as an ambulance, a fire truck and sheriffs patrol cars. The
building is also used as a polling station for federal, state, and local elections. The building was
constructed in 1988. It contains a series of offices, a day room for police officers, a bathroom and a
multi-purpose room. In 1988, the Monroe County Planning Commission had approved a Major
Conditional Use for construction of the building. The Monroe County Planning Director had issued
Development Order #20-88. The building was limited in size to 2,500 square feet due to the Monroe
County Code Section 9.5-242. This regulation limits office and low intensity commercial and retail
uses to less than 2,500 square feet in the Improved Subdivision land use district. At the time of
construction, this was an acceptable limitation.
The primary use has not changed since the original Certificate of Occupancy. However, since that
time, the public safety needs have required the substation to provide space for the emergency medical
services personnel including ambulances and fire trucks required for accident response. The functional
population in this Planning District has grown significantly. According to the 2001 Monroe County
Planning Department and approved by the Board of County Commissioners, there have been 1,320
permits issued for new residential dwelling units in the Lower Keys from 1990 to 2000. As a result,
the demand in this area for Sheriff and EMS services has increased significantly.
Changed Assumptions:
On August 19, 1997 the Board of County Commissioners approved the conceptual plan for the
consolidated Monroe County Emergency Services System (MCESS). This addressed the planning for
the future provision of emergency services in Monroe County. It was prepared by the staff of the
Monroe County Department of Public Safety in conjunction with the Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) Department, the Rescue Department, and the Fire Marshal's Office. The goal of this effort was
to design an effective emergency service system. The premise that this group agreed to was "that for an
emergency service to be effective, it had to be capable, above all other things, of rapidly responding to
an incident." At the time, the inability of the volunteer organizations to assure a consistent rapid
response was based upon a number of issues including the County's population growth, its economy
and industry, changing demographics and the evolution of the fire rescue services.
The MCESS proposes a phased implementation process. The Department intends to add additional
paid personnel to work in conjunction with the volunteers. These personnel will be distributed
throughout unincorporated Monroe County with the need for three additional paid employees (as
required for 24 hour service) to be stationed at the Cudjoe Substation. Additionally, the plan proposes
to reassign equipment from the Sugarloaf Station to Cudjoe in order to improve the response time for
emergency events on Cudjoe, Summerland and the western portions of Ramrod Keys. The intention is
for the Cudjoe substation to function as a substation of the existing Sugarloaf Key Station, thereby
increasing response times to an acceptable level. An expansion of the existing Cudjoe Substation is
required to accommodate these additional needs.

Data Errors:
When the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Maps (FLUM) were adopted, The parcels
with existing Uses in the categories Agriculture, Education, Institutional, Public Facilities, and Public
Buildings were appropriately designated in the FLUM. Monroe County documented the public
facilities existing in the late 1980's. Final adoption of the Future Land Use Maps occurred on January
1. 1997; however, these maps had not been updated for several years while they were in the review
process with the State of Florida and the Department of Community Affairs. Although the Cudjoe
Substation was in existence at that time and should have been included in the documentation, it was
inadvertently omitted from the finally adopted maps. The omission of the Sheriffs Substation from the
FLUM designation rendered the Substation a non-conforming use.
New Issues: See Assumptions above
Need for Additional Detail and Comprehensiveness:
The Sheriffs Substation was constructed in 1988. The Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan
became effective on January 5, 1996. The Future Land Use designation of Residential Medium was
appropriate and consistent with the existing land use category of Improved Subdivision. This proposed
change to the FLUM, in conjunction with the Public Facility overlay ordinance protect the residential
nature of the area while allowing the substation to become a conforming use and to expand and provide
better services to the community.
Data Updates: N/A
IMPACT & POLICY ANALYSIS:
Comparison of Development Potential for the Current and Proposed Land Uses:
1) Current FLUM and Land Use District Designations
The current Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation for the subject property is
Residential Medium (RM). The current Land Use District is Improved Subdivision (IS).
Public Facilities are not a permitted use. Maintaining the existing zoning would render the
Sheriffs Substation (Lot 1) a pre-existing non-conforming use, which would be unable to
expand. Additionally, maintaining the existing FLUM would violate the intent of the use for
which the land was gifted to Monroe County.
2) Potential Land Uses With the Proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
The proposed Future Land Use designation is Public Facilities (PF). Given this proposed
change, the existing Sheriffs Substation would become a permitted use. In accordance with
Page 4 of6
W :\Planning\ Working Folders\Gross-Fred\Sherifl's Substation\BOCC Staff Report .doc
Sec. 9.5-257.4 (Public Facilities Use Overlay) of the Monroe County Land Development
Regulations, the Substation could utilize lots 2 and 3 and may be developed as a Public
Facility with a maximum floor area ratio of .30. All other regulations of the underlying
district (IS) would be applicable.
Compatibility with Adjacent Land Uses and Effects on Community Character:
The proposed amendment to the Future Land Use Map would have little or no effect on the community
character. To the north of the lot is U.S. 1. On the South oflot 1, separated by a canal are the homes of
the Cudjoe Gardens subdivision.
Effects on Natural Resources:
There should be no effect on natural resources.
Effects on Public Facilities:
The proposed amendment will improve the delivery of public services to the community.
Solid Waste Facilities:
The proposed amendment will have little or no effect on solid waste facilities.
Potable Water Facilities:
The proposed amendment will have little or no effect on potable water facilities.
Storm Water:
Sealed engineering drawings for stormwater management must be submitted and approved by the
County Engineer before receipt of a building permit.
Wastewater:
A new wastewater treatment system approved by the Department of Health may be required prior to
receiving a building permit.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1) Section 9.5-511(d)(5) b. ofthe Monroe County Land Use Regulations allows the Board of
County Commissioners to consider adopting an ordinance to enact map changes under six listed
conditions.
Page 5 of6
W:\Planning\Working Folders\Gross-Fred\Sherifl's Substation\BOCC Staff Report .doc
2) This amendment, initiated by the applicant, is intended to amend the Future Land Use Map and
the Land Use District Map from Residential Medium (RM) to Public Facilities (PF)
3) There is a recognized need for the expansion of the existing Sheriffs Substation at this location
on Cudjoe Key.
CONCLUSIONS:
1) The amendment meets the criteria outlined in Section 9.5-511(d)(4) b. of the Monroe County
Land Development Regulations.
2) The amendment permits the use of Sec. 9.5-257.4 (Public Facilities Use Overlay) and IS
appropriate for this location on Cudjoe Key.
3) The amendment will facilitate the needed expansion of the existing Sheriffs Substation at this
location.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff of the Monroe County Planning Department, the Development Review Committee, and the
Monroe County Planning Commission recommend APPROVAL of the requested amendment to the
Monroe County Future Land Use Map.
