Subject:
William Cobey, Administrative Relief Request
Background on Subject Property
The subject property for which the applicant is seeking Administrative Relief is located at
Buccaneer Point, Block 3, Lot 38, Key Largo, Real Estate # 00496131-008200. The property is in
the Improved Subdivision (IS) Land Use (zoning) District. The applicant entered the Residential
Rate of Growth Ordinance (ROGO) system in January 1999.
Permitting History
A building permit and ROGO allocation were applied for on January 26, 1999. The application
scored 12 points. Currently, with the addition of four perseverance points, the property scores 16
points.
Development Potential
Zoning - The property is zoned Improved Subdivision (IS) and allows one single-family residence
and accessory uses. As an Improved Subdivision, it has no TDR value under the current code.
Future Land Use Map (FLUM) - The FLUM indicates the property to be Residential Medium (RM)
which is intended for single-family residential use.
The Buccaneer Point subdivision is currently nearing build-out in terms of remaining vacant lots. In
the immediate vicinity of the subject property, Lots, 30,31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 39, and 40 have
single-family residences. Lots 38 and 34 are the only undeveloped lots in close proximity.
Buccaneer Point is projected to be a Tier III area pursuant to Goal 105 of the Monroe County Year
2010 Comprehensive Plan. Tier III is defined in Policy 105.2.1 as follows: Infill Area (Tier III) -
County of Monroe
"any defined geographical area, where a significant portion of land area is not characterized as
environmentally sensitive as defined by this Plan, where existing platted subdivisions are
substantially developed, served by complete infrastructure facilities, and within close proximity to
established commercial areas, or where a concentration of non-residential uses exist, is to be
designated as an Infill Area." New development and redevelopment are to be highly encouraged.
The subject property, located in Buccaneer Point, is considered an Infill Area based on the above
definition.
Eligibility for Administrative Relief Options
Section 9.5-122.2(f) of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations and Policy 101.6.1 of
the 2010 Comprehensive Plan provides a mechanism whereby an applicant who has not received an
allocation award in ROGO may apply to the Board of County Commissioners for administrative
relief. The applicant is eligible for Administrative Relief having complied with all requirements of
the dwelling unit allocation system and having been considered in at least three (3) of the last four
consecutive annual allocation periods and having submitted their application for Administrative
Relief no earlier than the third annual allocation period and no later than ninety (90) days following
the close of the fourth annual allocation period.
Relief Options under Administrative Relief
The remedies available to an applicant for Administrative relief pursuant to Section 9.5-122.2(f)
include issuance of an allocation award or just compensation by purchase of the property or such
other relief as may be necessary or appropriate.
The subject property does not meet the guidelines established under Policy 106.6.6 and Policy
105.2.12 of the Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan for the purchase of property under Administrative
Relief as it does not contain any sensitive environmental features nor is it considered habitat for
endangered or threatened species.
The Monroe County Land Authority has informed the Growth Management Division staff that the
applicant does not wish to sell the property to the County as provided for under Policy 101.6.1 of
the Year 20 I 0 Comprehensive Plan.
The Growth Management Division has determined that other types of relief are not necessary or
appropriate for this property. Furthermore, as noted above, the subject property is located within an
area that meets County standards for "infill" development as provided for under Goal 105 of the
Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan.
Therefore, the granting of an allocation award is the preferred relief option and is consistent with
the policies for administrative relief under the Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan.

allocations which closes October 13,2003 (Quarter 1, Year 12).
