ITEM BACKGROUND: The Planning and Environmental Resources Department received an application in March 2019, from Island Construction Management on behalf of Abit Holdings, LLC (the "Applicant") to amend the Monroe County Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation from Residential Medium (RM) to Mixed Use / Commercial (MC) for five (5) platted lots on US1, at approximate mile marker 103.9 in Key Largo. The property is legally described as Block 7, Lots 9- 13, Largo Sound Village. The Applicant has also requested a corresponding Land Use District (Zoning) map amendment for the subject property from Improved Subdivision (IS) to Suburban Commercial 1 (SC). The subject of this agenda item is transmittal of the proposed FLUM amendment to the FL Department of Economic Opportunity for state review. Packet Pg. 2777 R.1 r ¢ - Sfl£4If 2t4 ,r f y ` f - <Y C7 Existing FLUM Designation Proposed FLUM Designation The Applicant states that the reason for the proposed amendment is "to allow for various types of residential and non-residential uses, excluding industrial and similar uses." The Applicant's full explanation and justification of the proposed amendment is included in the file for the application (File 42019-029). Community Meeting and Public Participation In accordance with LDC Section 102-159(a), a community meeting was held on August 26, 2019, to discuss the proposed Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment and to provide for public participation. There were approximately 37 people in attendance who provided feedback on the item. Issues identified included: limiting the development to high-end single-family residences, concern regarding increased density and affordable housing. Development Review Committee and Public Input The Development Review Committee considered the proposed amendment on November 18, 2019, and received public input. Planning Commission and Public Input On November 19, 2019, the Planning Commission (PC) considered the proposed FLUM amendment, provided for public comment and recommended denial through PC Resolution P52-19. Staff had recommended approval of the proposed FLUM change, as it was consistent with the Goals Objectives and Policies of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan, did not adversely impact concurrency standards, provided nonresidential uses and affordable housing uses and density. Per Resolution P52-19, the Planning Commission's recommendation of denial was due to: (1) the proposed FLUM is anticipated to adversely impact the community character of the surrounding area and (2) the proposed amendment may result in an adverse change in community character in the subarea an adverse impact. The proposed change in maximum potential density and intensity is as follows: Packet Pg. 2778 R.1 Maximum development Existing FLUM Type Adopted Standards potential based upon density/intensity Residential 1 du/lot 5 units Allocated Density Residential Medium(RM) TDR/Market Rate IS zoning Residential Max Net N/A 0 units Density Total Upland Area: 5 lots Affordable (31,115 SF/0.714 ac) Residential Max Net N/A 0 units Density 0.571 buildable acres (0.714 ac—0.20 open space Transient 0 rooms/spaces/acre 0 rooms or spaces ratio) Allocated Density Nonresidential 0 FAR 0 SF Maximum Intensity Maximum development Proposed FLUM Type Adopted Standards potential based upon density/intensity Residential 3 du/acre(SC) 2.14 units Allocated Density TDR/Market Rate 6du/buildable acre Mixed Use/Commercial(MC) Residential Max Net 3.42 units SC zoning Density (SC) Total Upland Area: 5 lots Affordable 31,115 SF/0.714 ac ( ) Residential Max Net 18du/buildable acre(SC) 10.29 units Density 0.571 buildable acres (0.714 ac—0.20 open space Transient 10-25 ratio) Allocated Density rooms/spaces/acre 7-17 rooms/spaces Nonresidential 0.10—0.45 FAR 3,111 SF— 14,001 SF Maximum Intensity (SC,UC,DR,MU) Residential Market Rate Allocated: -2.86 units TDR/Market Rate ResidentialResidential Max Net: 1e3,4 1 iim'o s ,v�,o1. -''j— 1g � # .liffsGndc' so"Gi ),a ec'Is Net Change in Development Potential Based on FLUM Affordable Residential Max Net. i.�}.7 Transient Allocated: 7 rou-t G ua ccs Nonresidential: 4.001 S F As shown in the blue portion of the table, the proposed FLUM amendment would result in a decrease of 2.86 units in permanent allocated residential development potential; an increase of 3.42 units in max net density residential potential for market rate units with the use of TDRs (note: this remains less than the allocated development potential for market rate permanent units under the Packet Pg. 2779 R.1 current FLUM); an increase of 10.29 units in affordable residential development potential; an increase of 17 rooms or spaces for transient units; and an increase in nonresidential development potential of 14,001 square feet. The County has adopted Policy 101.5.26 (discouragement policy) which requires increases in allocated residential density to be offset with the dedication of land. This amendment does not trigger this requirement as the allocated density is decreasing. Staff is still recommending approval of the proposed FLUM amendment, based on staff s findings that the proposed amendment is consistent with the Goals Objectives and Policies of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan. Regarding community character, the Property is located across US 1 from several commercial uses including: The Marina Club (boat storage), Sundowners (restaurant), Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill (hotel and restaurant) and the Caribbean Club (bar). The parcels immediately north of the Property, adjacent to US 1, is Gus's Toy Box (boat sales). Staff does not anticipate that the proposed FLUM will adversely impact the community character of the surrounding area, as parcels along US 1 in this location already include both commercial and residential uses. Additionally, the following characteristics of the property support staff s analysis: a. Existing Vegetation/Habitat: Developed Land b. Existing Tier Designation: III c. Number ofListed Endangered or Threatened Species: Zero d. Existing Use: Vacant e. Community Character oflmmediate Vicinity: Adjacent land uses include vacant land and residential uses to the east and south; commercial and residential uses to the north and west(across US 1). Any proposed new residential, transient or nonresidential use would be subject to the requirements of Chapter 138 of the Land Development Code related to the Residential and Nonresidential Rate of Growth Ordinance (ROGO/NROGO)permit process. It should be noted, while this amendment provides an increase of 3.42 units in max net density residential potential for market rate units, this can only be utilized with the transfer of TDRs (transferring and retiring density from a sender site so there is no net increase in density). Further, it should be noted, while this amendment provides an increase of 10.29 units in affordable residential development potential, the County's pool of available affordable allocations may be depleted by the time this applicant submits a development proposal. If the affordable housing allocation pool is depleted, the applicant will need to limit its development proposal request to nonresidential uses within the SC zoning district and/or propose to transfer ROGO exemptions to enable any proposed affordable residential development. As a potential third option, pursuant to Policy 101.3.10, the applicant may coordinate and request to transfer affordable allocations from a municipality to the County through an interlocal agreement As before, staff is recommending approval of the proposed FLUM change, as it is consistent with the Goals Objectives and Policies of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan, does not adversely impact concurrency standards, provides alternative nonresidential uses and affordable housing uses and density. Staff acknowledges that since the Planning Commission review in 2019, the County's Packet Pg. 2780 R.1 affordable allocation pool is currently at 23 allocations, and unless any existing reservations expire, the availability of affordable housing allocations may be depleted. If the BOCC concurs the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the applicant can resubmit applications (start over since, with the time delay of this application, the affordable allocation pool has diminished) to propose map amendments to the Commercial FLUM and C1 zoning designations which allow nonresidential uses (similar nonresidential uses as SC) without any residential uses or density provided. It should be noted that the proposed corresponding land use (zoning) district amendment would also alter the as-of-right and conditional uses permitted on the subject property. A comparison table of as- of-right uses and conditional uses for the Improved Subdivision (IS) and Suburban Commercial (SC) land use districts is provided as an attachment. ------------------ Comprehensive Plan Amendments may be proposed by the Board of County Commissioners, the Planning Commission, the Director of Planning, or the owner or other person having a contractual interest in property to be affected by a proposed amendment.

These three categories are: Natural Area (Tier 1); Transition and Sprawl Reduction 10 Area (Tier I1) on Big Pine Key and No Name Key only; and Infill Area (Tier II1). The purposes, 11 general characteristics, and growth management approaches associated with each tier are as 12 follows: 14 15 3. Infill Area (Tier III): Any defined geographic area, where a significant portion of i� 16 land area is not characterized as environmentally sensitive as defined by this Plan, 17 except for dispersed and isolated fragments of environmentally sensitive lands of 0) 18 less than four acres in area, where existing platted subdivisions are substantially a 19 developed, served by complete infrastructure facilities, and within close proximity 0) 20 to established commercial areas, or where a concentration of nonresidential uses et 21 exists, is to be designated as an Infill Area. New development and redevelopment 22 are to be highly encouraged, except within tropical hardwood hammock or 23 pineland patches of an acre or more in area, where development is to be 24 discouraged. Within an Infill Area are typically found: platted subdivisions with E 25 50 percent or more developed lots situated in areas with few sensitive 0 26 environmental features; full range of available public infrastructure in terms of s 27 paved roads, potable water, and electricity; and concentrations of commercial and 28 other nonresidential uses within close proximity.

This will protect the existing conformance status of most uses 2 and promote orderly development consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 3 4 Action Item 1.3.7: Evaluate future FLUM change and Land Use District Map change requests for 5 nonconforming uses, proposed changes in use, vacant parcels and other requests, based mainly 6 on comprehensive planning principles and the following community-goal related criteria: 7 a. Promote infill, design flexibility and transfer of density to Community Centers. 8 b. Preserve commercial conformance status within sections along US-1 predominated by 9 existing commercial businesses and disturbed lands. 10 c. Encourage sun-setting of intensive commercial uses within sections along US-1 11 predominated by natural habitat or native-dominated landscape, relatively sparse 12 development and relatively few businesses. 13 d. Preserve commercial use status for existing waterfront uses that support the tourist-based 14 and working waterfront-based economy. a� 15 e.

The corner of US1 and entrance to Largo Sound are busy enough without adding more impact. Weekends are nearly impossible to cross US1, weekdays need to be planned for early morning or late night for crossings. Then if you even try to use the bike/walking path parallel to US1, cars are not paying attention on weekends. So if you add more impact it will increase the risk of injury to the residents of these neighborhoods.

Good morning, At the Planning Commission meeting of November 19, 2019, David Thompson had no formal plan regarding the five lots he purchased knowing at the time that it was for residential building only. At that time, he suggested he might want commercial space downstairs with up to ten apartments above. His representative said that would be less density than five single family homes which does not make sense. Also, the traffic it would cause would be so unsafe for this community and for the highway travelers. We have a school bus stop and a transit bus stop right there on the corner of Avenue B and Highway US One. We already have a troublesome traffic problem with the way 1st Street was built. Please take into the consideration the almost unanimous decision the Planning Commission concluded on November 19, 2019. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my concerns.

Agenda Item R.1. Public hearing July 21, 2021 Regarding Land Use District Amendment Application File #2019-028 And Future Land Use Map(FLUM) Amendment Application #2019-029 Dear Commissioners, The property involved is at US1 and Ave B at MM 104. (not around 105, which I read somewhere on the documents) For the last 25 years, I have been able to see this intersection from my front porch. My husband has watched it for 48 years. To say that the traffic has increased is putting it mildly. The number of accidents in this area has gone up as well. With over 250 homes in the subdivision and the numerous very successful and very busy commercial properties across US 1 on the bayside, the US 1 and Ave B intersection is extremely busy indeed. The application for this zoning change uses a 2017 US1 Arterial Travel Time and Delay study for traffic circulation that was completed in May of 2017. Folks, this was BEFORE Irma or the pandemic. Since this study was accepted by the county as being acceptable, I strongly feel this needs to be re-examined. The number of construction vehicles since Irma, and the number of home deliveries since Covid have increased the traffic load exponentially. Due to the increasing number of incidents at the MM 104 area on US1, even the Key Largo Fire Rescue & Emergency Medical Services District has requested extra street lights, and the State DOT has agreed to perform a traffic study. The change of this residential property to commercial will only make this situation much worse. I implore you to deny this zoning change request. If you refuse to deny it, at least table it until the newest and more valid traffic studies have been done. I have seen and heard enough of the carnage at this intersection to last a lifetime. I can't tell you how many times I have personally called 911(before all had cells) when I heard the latest crash. If this zoning change is approved, there will HAVE to be a traffic light at that intersection. It is already taking your life in your hands to get stuck when there are 5 vehicles abreast in there, with more in the turn lanes waiting and blocking visibility. The applicant knew that he was purchasing residential lots when he bought them. He builds very nice homes. Let him build 5 more like he bought the lots for. PLEASE deny this zoning change, before even more people die in this area. Thank you, Susan and John Gorthy 120 1st Terrace Key Largo, FL 33037 From: Yongue Liz To: Pamela G.

It is currently unsafe now. I can only imagine the nightmare that it will be if this is approved and constructed. I reside on First Street,which is the street which meets avenue B at US 1. It is exceedingly difficult now for anyone that lives on our street to pull out onto US1. The plans that the builder presented to the neighbors calls for a large building with 3 commercial storefronts and 10 apartments on the second floor. The entrance for this structure must be off Ave B instead of the US1.The traffic study preformed for this change mentioned an increase of at least 300 more cars per day. Sundowners,The Big Chill,The Marina Club, and the Caribbean Club are all right across the street The amount of traffic that uses that turn around at Ave B is substantial now.There is also a bus stop at the corner of this said property. It is used by the children of the neighborhood to get to school. It is also used for workers that work at the commercial properties across the street.There is a lot of foot traffic to get to the stop.This is not the right place for a project that will increase the density of the immediate area. If this is approved a traffic light will be a must unless you want another area with multiple accidents and inevitable deaths. The owner bought the property knowing that it was zoned residential. I feel it should stay that way keeping with the character of our neighborhood. Residential homes in an X zone are in high demand right now. He can build 5 single family homes on his lots and still make plenty of money. This proposal has been turned down once already by the planning commission a couple of years ago.

Please see the attached statement opposing the approval of File#2019-029, which is scheduled to be heard on July 21, 2021. 1 appreciate your attention to my concerns. Sincerely, Katherine Urban 520 Sound Dr. Key Largo, Florida 305 903-3243 1 2 July, 16, 2021 My name is Katherine Urban. My residence is located at 520 Sound Dr in Key Largo, Florida. My phone number is 305 903-3243. My e mail address is kathypashaurban@gmail.com. I write today in opposition to File Number 2019-029, which proposes to amend the Future Land Use Map from Residential Medium (RM) to Mixed Use Commercial (MC), for five lots from the corner of US 1 and Avenue B up to Gus's Toy Box in Key Largo (legally described as Largo Sound Village). I find it simply unreasonable that the owner, who knew full well the established zoning when purchasing the property, now wishes to change the zoning without any specific indication of his intent other than references to commercial and affordable housing units. This type of change would bring significant challenges to the long standing and established community of Largo Sound Village. The residents of Largo Sound Village are comprised of business owners, health care professionals, law enforcement officers, teachers, real estate brokers, retirees, and a very high percentage of full time occupants. It is a community that has fostered a safe neighborhood, with a caring and hard working association. Literally hundreds of children flock to this neighborhood on Halloween because it is safe and the homeowners participate so the children have a good time. It is well maintained, where people have invested in their property and homes. But this proposed change would alter the fabric of the community in a number of ways, and undoubtably have unintended consequences. Traffic Safety The neighborhood is accessible only via Avenues A and B. Across the Overseas Highway from the Big Chill, Sun Downers, and the Caribbean Club, the community already experiences high traffic volumes on the Overseas Highway which is the only option to enter and exit the neighborhood. The entrance on Avenue B is also complicated by a somewhat irregular residential street design not to mention a well used bike path. Residents entering and exiting the community already exercise extreme caution. Too often, we must drive north and make a U-Turn in order to head south. The traffic study associated with this proposed change cites 366 more daily trips which is significant and poses a legitimate concern. County and Delivery Services Garbage, recycling and yard debris trucks already reverse back down streets for their weekly pickups because of limited access. Services having to access additional commercial dumpsters only complicates an already challenging situation. Commercial zoning, in and of itself, certainly guarantees more delivery and service vehicles. This brings noise and disruption to home owners closest to the property associated with this change and ultimately impacts their property value. Property value as a concern is not intended to be self serving. But it should be acknowledged as a significant value in each owners financial portfolio, particularly retirees. School Bus Stop The corner of Avenue B and the Overseas Highway is also a school bus stop for the children of the neighborhood. While some children are dropped off and retrieved from the stop by parents, there are also many that walk to and from the bus stop and their homes. Given the positioning of the property in question and the proposed changes, these children would be exposed to the additional vehicle traffic in an unsafe way. Even in hopes of securing their safety, there does not appear to be a logical relocation of the school bus stop that would not increase the distance these children would have to negotiate in order to be safely transported to and from school. Crime Crime rates tend to be higher in commercially zoned districts. The rates do vary based on the type of commercial business, but the proposed change does not in any way prohibit that a liquor or convenience store, restaurant/bar, storage units, pawn shop, gun shop, or other business types with higher crime risks would not take residence in the commercial spaces. Most specifically pointed out in articles on this subject are robberies and assault. This potentially impacts not only those residences in close proximity, but the entire community. Closing I realize there are many aspects you will need to consider associated with this case. Affordable housing is needed for the many workers servicing our tourism economy. But in my experience "affordable housing" is an "oxymoron" in the Keys. According to the latest United States Census, the per-capita income for Key Largo is $41,979. After researching rates with an existing affordable housing community, I discovered a rental rate of$2019 per month which requires an annual income of$48,038 to qualify as a tenant. I would suggest this flies in the face of "affordable", especially given the somewhat dramatic inflationary price increases across the board recently. The big winners seem to be the developers or landlords, not the tenants. On an added note, units were available for rental and there was no indication of short supply. And what about population density? Is putting more people in condensed spaces the answer when we are called upon at times to evacuate under extreme circumstances. Even in the upper Keys, evacuation is extremely difficult and adding more people in higher density housing will only make it worse. While it is only cited as being 10 units, you are setting precedent in this decision and more will likely be developed if you approve this request. The County of Monroe (Agenda Item R.1, Summary 6783) notes a number of commercial enterprises across from Largo Sound Village. These are comprised of bars, restaurants, and boat storage. Please note, these are southbound properties on a four lane road separated by a median. If they are considered justification to expand commercial property across to the northbound side, then I suggest you try taking your life into your hands and exiting our community during Happy Hour. Added traffic from additional commercial properties will only worsen the situation. In contrast, in surveying the area I noted only one commercial enterprise northbound between Jewfish Avenue and Avenue B. Everything else is green space and residential. I propose we keep it that way. Let the property be used as intended, five residential homes that will at least have some margin of green space when compared to a strip mall, storage units, or apartments. Please consider the unintended consequences and precedent that will be established if this change is approved. Remember, Pandora's box can never be closed once opened.

I have lived in Largo Sound Village for nearly 30 years. Our community addressed this issue with the Monroe County Planning Commission in 2019. I would urge the County Comissioners to read our objections to ABIT's request to change designation of the 5 lots he purchased in 2013 at US 1 from IS to eventually mixed-use commercial. I would also urge them to review the planning commissioners' comments when they voted 4 to 1 to defeat this change of land use. Mr.Thompson builds great houses and we all recognize that he has EVERY RIGHT to build 5 single-family homes on the lots he purchased(as he is doing with the adjacent lots on First Road). At the previous meeting,Mr. Thompson stated that when he bought these lots,he didn't know exactly what to do with the 5 highway lots. I think he would be championed for building five affordable,single-family homes on those lots. Do we need more commercial properties biting into our neighborhood along an already VERY SUCCESSFUL bay side corridor?Does this enhance our neighborhood?The Property Appraiser website lists over 250 properties in our subdivision.We already tolerate immense pressure whenever special events or overflow parking is needed for bay side establishments across the highway. We could take pictures that would astound you! Avenue B is the CENTRAL and MAJOR ingress/egress route to our neighborhood. It is a school bus stop,as well as a Keys transit stop. Our neighborhood only sits 2/1Oths of a mile from Key Largo School. Kids get on and off the bus,walk,bike,or skateboard home. It is also a very busy roadside bicycle path. Because we are such a family- oriented community, does this sound like a good environment to put mixed-use commercial? While Mr. Thompson has altruistic visions for the commercial uses,if he sells it,what prevents an industrial use or a liquor store or perhaps a bar? A traffic study of Mr.Thompson's plans indicated an additional 366 daily trips in and out of Avenue B. The intersection is already a very dangerous one with traffic crossing over the median from the Sundowner complex,the Boat Storage,as well as entering Avenue B from 1st Street, 1st Road,and 1st Terrace. Top all that off with the fact that Avenue B makes an oblique angle at 1st Road and is not straight! I've seen accidents there and avoided a few myself. It is already Dangerous! I sincerely hope you will consider these points before voting to change the land use in front of our community.

The main concern is Safety. The intersection of Avenue B onto Rt 1 also includes 1st Street, 1st Road and 1st Terrace. This is also the location of a main school bus stop which picks up and delivers dozens of children with parents parked on all the shoulders and herding their kids as they bolt from the buses. This intersection is already a dangerous situation at certain times on each day and ALL the time on weekends and holidays as our "friends" from Miami circle in and out of Ave's A & B and down 1st Road looking for parking for boats,jet skis, trailers and or trying to avoid their own traffic on Rt 1. Presently, the 5 lots fronting Rt 1 and adjacent to Avenue B are zoned "Residential Medium" (RM). It is my understanding that this designation would require 5 curb cuts onto Rt 1 for the vehicles parked at 5 houses. Is this a terrific situation? I would say no, not at all. But...I also understand that allowing a zoning change for these 5 lots to "Mixed Use Commercial" (MC) would require an entrance/egress onto "Ave B" for all the vehicles from the parking lot for a commercial building and 5 or more apartments upstairs. This change would most certainly be a recipe for disaster. More vehicles funneled directly into an already outdated, overused, congested and confusing intersection. And all this dumping directly onto and off of Rt 1.

Hello Commissioners, My neighbors and I are opposed to rezoning and changing the use of this lot of 5 single family lots from residential to commercial. I have lived at the corner of Avenue B and 2nd Street for 15 years, and the increased density of this already-dangerous intersection would become unbearable. The intersection is already littered with car crash debris. There is already way too much density for Monroe County residents to evacuate safely. You should take the advice of the Monroe County Planning Commission to deny the request for rezoning from single family residential to mixed use commercial. This developer's claim that he is planning on putting 10 workforce housing units over a commercial space is really meaningless because he is claiming to help solve the very housing problem he wants to create by adding more businesses. He purchased all these properties knowing full well and good that these lots were zoned residential, and if he wishes to build, let him build his five houses. He already owns a plethora of properties, so you are not denying him a living. These lots have appreciated in value greatly since he bought them. One person's greed should not contribute to the safety of the rest of us. I use this intersection when I go to work, eat, pay taxes and vote. These properties should remain single family residential.

Subject: Zoning change in Largo Sound Village Dear Commissioners, My name is Barry Carter, and I have been a resident of Key Largo for over 42 years, and retired after 35 years of working for the well being of all Monroe County residents. I have lived in this home for 34+years. The properties in question are three houses away from my property. At our community meeting, the property owner of these lots made a point that the Monroe County officials thought there was a lack of commercial development between Marvin D. Adams Waterway and mile marker 106.5. After taking a drive on this stretch of highway it may appear there is a lot of land available to build on, however, this is not the case.John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park owns two large tracts. The Middle School, Rowell's Marina and the visitor's center change the land availability dramatically. All of these properties are positive for the residents of Monroe County. There is little property that is not already state owned, county owned, commercially owned, church owned or residentially built out.This is a positive for Monroe County as green space makes for a more livable community. There are many properties for rent, sale or lease along this four-mile stretch. Some have been available for years such as a marina, a restaurant, a large scarified fenced lot with a building at the entrance to Sexton Cove Subdivision, a church now for sale, 1.2 acres, zoned SC, a lot for sale ocean side, size unknown, three storefronts available immediately adjacent to the Monroe County Visitor's Center.These properties were noted on a cursory drive-by with minimal effort.There are many other commercial properties south of Marvin D. Adams Waterway that usually and currently are available in Key Largo, including upstairs at the Pink Plaza,Tradewinds Shopping Plaza. Not a lot of effort is required to find available commercial space for rent in Key Largo. Keys wide, there are over 100 commercial spaces available today. If this is happening in a booming economy, what happens when the economy turns? The bottom line is that this property owner can make a lot more money by building commercial than by building residential. To vote for a zoning change that increases intensity on these lots is a bad idea.The fact that the owner doesn't want to build homes on these lots is not a justification for a zoning change, since he knew what the zoning was when he bought the lots not that many years ago. Approving this zoning change would set a dangerous precedent, and you will be culpable for initiating the domino effect. And that will affect my vote. Please vote wisely, Barry L.

Please see attached letter regarding a zoning change in a residential neighborhood. 104mm ocean side. Public meeting set for July 21, 2021in Marathon, FL. Please consider my thoughts as a resident and tax payer in this situation. Joleen Barrett 515 Sound Dr Key Largo, FL 33037 305-394-7402 between2 almsL mail.com July 16,2021 Good afternoon. My name is Joleen Barrett. I have been a resident of the Keys for 25 years now. I am writing to you today in opposition to File Number 2019-029, which proposes to amend the Future Land Use from Residential Medium (RM) to Mixed Use Commercial (MC), for five lots from the corner of US 1 and Avenue B to Gus' Toy Box in Key Largo, mile marker 104 ocean side. Most of the occupants of Largo Sound Village are full time residents whom work in our community. A good majority of them are long term residents that chose this neighborhood because of the safety we share here along with well maintained properties because the residents invest their money and time in our neighborhood to keep it beautiful and safe. The word has gotten out that we are a safe neighborhood and families from all over come to share halloween with us. We see 400-500 kids a year because of this safety. This proposed change would alter this community in unintended ways. School Bus Stop For generations we have had a bus stop at the corner of Avenue B and US 1 ocean side. For generations, parents have felt comfortable with their child waiting there for their bus. With the proposed change, these children would be exposed to extra traffic in unsafe way. These children walk up Avenue B to get to the stop. The proposed change in zoning would increase the traffic coming right up to the stop. Which leads to the next subject. Traffic and Safety There are only two entrances into our neighborhood. Avenue B has alway been tricky with the angle of the first street in our neighborhood. Our entrances already see a very heavy amount of traffic with the Big Chill, Sun Downers and the Caribbean Club across the highway, and coming into our neighborhood to find additional parking. We also have a very busy bike path that we exercise good caution. Just to go south we may have to go north and make a u-turn due to the heaviness of the traffic. The traffic study associated with this proposed change cites 366 more daily trips which is significant and poses a legitimate concern. Crime Crime rates do vary based on the type of commercial business, and the proposed change does not prohibit a liquor or convenience store, another restaurant/bar, pawn shop or gun shop from going in. Crime rates increase in commercially zoned districts. This in not what we want for our community. Finally I find it unacceptable that the owner knew the zoning of the property he purchased was residential and now wants to change it for his own person benefit. This change will not guarantee what would go there and that affects all of the residents and owners not just the current owner of these 5 lots. It is unclear as to what the current owner will eventually put on these lots. One proposal stated the possibility of "affordable housing". Again, this property was zoned residential, not income producing property. After doing some research I found that there are plenty of "affordable/workforce housing" vacant and available in the upper keys. The 2019 census shows the per-capita income is $41,000 in Key Largo and rate of rental means a per-capita income of$48,000. So that would really not help the argument of need. It would however increase the density of people in the upper keys. Taking that into account, the times we need to evacuate would increase. This puts additional pressure on the community, families, law enforcement and shelters. I understand there are many aspects for you to consider in association with this situation. Upon my research, I found that there are only 2 commercial businesses between the Marvin Adams Cut and Garden Cove Drive. Everything else is green space and residential. I would like to propose to keep it that way. Let the property be used as intended, five residential homes that will save a margin of green space. Commercial property is not green space or buffer space that this neighborhood needs. Please consider the consequences once a change is made. We can never turn it back. As a resident, parent, local worker and home owner, please don't allow this change. I moved here because this neighborhood was all residential and a great place to raise a family without the commercial and heavy traffic. Please allow future generations to enjoy the same qualities in our neighborhood.

In 2019 he argued that houses on the property "is not what the community character should be." Largo Sound Village "the community" Mr. Thompson is referring to is comprised of business owners, healthcare professionals, law enforcement officers, teachers, real estate brokers and a high percentage of permanent, full-time occupants. This "community" is the start of the local Saint Patrick's Day Parade and attracts hundreds of children on Halloween. This "community" has fostered a safe neighborhood with a caring and hardworking association. The proposed zoning changes threaten almost every aspect of what has taken hard work and years to build. - The five (5) lots involved in this amendment are located south of an adjacent, existing, non-conforming business, specifically known as Gus's Toy Box, which has a 1950's building approved for commercial use within the building. However, it is not approved for outdoor storage on the remaining lots north to Avenue A. "Community" residents exiting Avenue A onto US 1 have hindered visibility due to the non-conforming storage area used by Gus's Toy Box and puts increased usage on Avenue B. Mr. Thompson's proposed zoning amendment, due to the non-conforming commercial business mentioned interfering with residents exiting the "community" would greatly increase traffic congestion on Avenue B, which is already a concern not only for potential traffic accidents but residents utilizing the walking/bike path as well. - Approval of the five (5) lots in question being rezoned to Mixed Use/Commercial could encourage adjacent properties (Gus's Toy Box and a recently sold residential lot south of Avenue B) to petition for commercial use. Foreseeably, the "community" could be devastated with additional traffic hazards entering/exiting from Avenues A and B onto US 1. It is conceivable that our "community" residents will have to deal with greater overflow parking issues resultant from existing commercial businesses across from this property on US 1. A situation similar to that experienced by Sunset Point Park, for which you, the Board of County Commissioners, took steps prohibiting not only parking on county rights-of-way but subdivisions surrounding the area. In closing, as a Largo Sound Village resident, I oppose the approval of this amendment to rezone what is now a Residential Medium (RM) property to a Mixed Use/Commercial (MC) property.

However, it is not approved for outdoor storage on the remaining lots north to Avenue A. "Community" residents exiting Avenue A onto US 1 have hindered visibility due to the non-conforming storage area used by Gus's Toy Box. Mr. Thompson's proposed zoning amendment, due to the non-conforming commercial business mentioned interfering with residents exiting the "community" would greatly increase traffic congestion on Avenue B, which is already a concern not only for potential traffic accidents but residents utilizing the walking/bike path as well. - Approval of the five (5) lots in question being rezoned to Mixed Use/Commercial could encourage adjacent properties (Gus's Toy Box and a recently sold residential lot south of Avenue B) to petition for commercial use. Foreseeably, the "community" could be devastated with additional traffic hazards entering/exiting from Avenues A and B onto US 1. Additionally, it is conceivable that our "community" residents will have to deal with greater overflow parking issues resultant from existing commercial businesses across from this property on US 1. A situation similar to that experienced by Sunset Point Park, for which you, the Board of County Commissioners, took steps prohibiting not only parking on county rights-of-way but subdivisions surrounding the area. In closing, Largo Sound Village residents oppose the proposed amendment to rezone what is now a Residential Medium (RM) property to a Mixed Use/Commercial (MC) property.

My house is on the corner of 1st Terrace and Avenue B. The traffic that our community generates from Avenue B to Overseas Highway is intense. We not only have most of the residents using this exit, there is also 1st Street that lets out right at Overseas Highway and Avenue B. Changing the residential status to multi-us and adding over 200 more entrances and exits from that area onto Avenue B will really put a strain on our community. We also have to contend with the business across the street, the Boat Racks and the Big Chill and Sundowners. Tourists and locals are constantly using that intersection to cross US 1 to those businesses, by car and by foot. We already have way too many accidents. I personally feel that changing the status will not be good for our community, especially having the entrance on Avenue B. With Gus Toy Box on the rest of the lot, Avenue A is also a hazard with oncoming cars hindered because of the boats in the yard. I feel he bought the property as residential and he should be made to keep it residential. Thanks, Pam Wilson 121 1st Terrace 305-304-2880 From: Yonaue Liz To: Kevin Madok; Pamela G.

Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. Dear Commissioners, My wife and I have owned a home in Largo Sound Village since 2012. We like the neighborhood so much that we bought a better house here just this past year, and we intend to stay. We are opposed to the above mentioned proposed Zoning Change from Residential to Mixed Use Commercial. These 5 parcels have been part of the Largo Sound Village subdivision since it was first platted as far back as 1959. The entire neighborhood is built as single family homes, with a few grandfathered in-law apartments and the commercial use of Gus' Toy Box, which had businesses on that location since before Monroe County had Zoning. There is plenty of commercial space already available along U.S. 1, with much of that being closer to the town center. We don't see the need for more commercial property in this area, especially in a Residential neighborhood. David Thompson and his agents refer to the need for affordable, workforce housing. There is no doubt that this is a need in the Keys, but not necessarily near Mile 104. This location is about 3 miles out from the town center, and only 2 miles from the affordable housing complex built just a few years ago at mile 106. Keys Lake Villas is a beautiful gated community with a swimming pool, air-conditioned exercise rooms, and other amenities offering 2 and 3 bedroom apartments - and units are still available. If we truly had a need for affordable housing in this area, these units would be filled and there would be a waiting list. If that complex having those amenities cannot be filled, it is doubtful that a small complex built on a 31,250 sq. ft. parcel would be well utilized. The applicant and his agents have compared these 5 parcels to the Commercial properties across the highway. Monroe County Municipal Code Section 101-1 Defines, "Adjacent Parcels" and goes on to say, "... an intervening road, Right of Way or Easement shall not eliminate nor destroy the adjacency of two parcels, except for U.S. 1". So the Commercial properties across the highway are not adjacent to the parcels being discussed here, and are also ALL WATERFRONT, so there is absolutely no comparison to these 5 small dry lots. The Proposed FLUM Designation map shown on Packet Pg. 2769 shows a very short stretch of U.S. 1 immediately surrounding the parcels in question. The attachment to this email shows a much longer stretch of U.S. 1 on the FLUM, and shows Key Largo Canvas is the ONLY Commercial Zoning on the ocean side of the highway from Transylvania Ave. north to Esther St. That's about 1.4 miles. As noted by the Planning Commissioners in November 2019, this change would not be infill, does not transfer density to a community center, and would set a bad precedent for proposed Zoning changes in the future. The Monroe County 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Goal 101 states: "Monroe County shall manage future growth to enhance the quality of life, ensure the safety of County residents and visitors, and protect valuable natural resources." If the absolute first goal listed for your future plan includes to "ensure the safety of county residents", then this can be interpreted as they say in healthcare "First, do no harm." The traffic situation at this intersection is dangerous enough, so let's not do anything that would make it worse. The addition of 5 single family homes would cause the least amount of additional traffic from the possible permitted uses. We don't need to double that to 10 affordable dwelling units plus some possible commercial use. In November 2019 the Monroe County Planning Commission stated that the Key Largo LCP does not support the proposed change, and voted 4-1 to deny this application. They thought it was a bad idea and would set a bad precedent. I agree with their determination. Do no harm. Please deny this application. Thank you for your consideration.

Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. To: Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Florida: I am writing in advance of the County Commission Meeting scheduled to occur on July 21, 2021 and in specific reference to Agenda Item Number: R.1 Agenda Item Summary#6783. 1 am urging that the Commission deny approval of the Future and Use Map (FLUM) Amendment Application. This would be consistent with the recommendation by the Planning Commission. For your reference: November 19, 2019, the Planning Commission (PC)considered the proposed FLUM amendment, provided for public comment and recommended denial through PC Resolution P52-19. If allowed, the change will increase traffic at a key entry point to the Largo Sound Village neighborhood that is often already difficult to navigate safely due to the traffic associated with the present commercial businesses noted in the Agenda Item Summary. A further degradation not only impacts safety of motorists accessing the neighborhood but more importantly will result in less safe conditions for the walkers,joggers, cyclists. . . . a group that in large part consists of children and seniors. A key consideration in electing to be a homeowner in Largo Sound Village was the distinct neighborhood feel. Swapping the current residential zoning and allowing commercial uses will in no doubt erode the neighborhood character of the community. We should be able to confidently rely on the consistency afforded by zoning. I am loath to believe that we are willing to impact an entire neighborhood to its detriment because a single property owner believes there is a more profitable use. I suggest that the property in question was zoned for residential use when purchased and if the desire was to obtain property to be used for a commercial purpose a property zoned for commercial use should have been sought. There is overwhelming opposition by the Largo Sound Neighborhood to this requested change. I again ask that the change in zoning be denied by this body. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Commissioners, Regarding the above mentioned proposed Zoning Change from Residential to Mixed Use Commercial, I and several others have been knocking on doors, talking to our neighbors to see what they think and sign a petition if they are opposed to this change as so many are. We have collected over 200 signatures in opposition to the change. The main concerns include the dangerous traffic situation that already exists at the unusual corner of Avenue B, U.S. 1, and First Street which comes right into that intersection at an angle. We think adding additional traffic to that corner would make the situation even more dangerous, especially if a commercial access was added on Avenue B. Other concerns include the increased potential for crime with commercial property and affordable housing, and the decreased property values that could result. Attached are petitions signed by over 200 residents and homeowners of Largo Sound Village who are all in opposition to the proposed change. We think the properties should be developed as 5 single family homes as it has been zoned, the same as the rest of our neighborhood, and as it was zoned when David Thompson bought the property several years ago. He is building single family homes on 1 st Road directly adjacent to these parcels, and we think he should continue the same on these 5 lots. 40-50-60 years ago, houses were being built in this subdivision for people who worked in Key Largo. They were smaller, modest, and more affordable than the homes currently being built. This is a good location and opportunity for Mr. Thompson to build some owner-occupied homes that our local workforce could afford to buy. The people who live and work in Key Largo deserve the opportunity to own something here, rather than just pay rent and make their landlord richer. Thank you for this opportunity to voice my concerns.
