MEMORANDUM
TO:
The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners
FROM:
K. Marlene Conaway, Director of Planning
DATE:
September 28, 2004
MEETING DATE: October 20,2004
RE: Repeal of BOCC Ordinances 10-2004 and llA-2004 due to scrivener's
errors and new ordinance to amend Sec. 9.5-122.3; Sec. 9.5-124.8; and Sec.
9.5-266 of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations in order to
grant authority to the Growth Management Director and County Attorney
to approve Restrictive Covenants and Warranty Deeds under
ROGOINROGO and Affordable Housing and prohibit the award of ROGO
points for aggregation within those areas proposed for acquisition for
resource protection.
I. BACKGROUND.
Ordinance 10-2004, granting to the Director of Growth Management and the County Attorney the
authority to approve Restrictive Covenants and Warranty Deeds, contained a scrivener's error.
Specifically, the Ordinance and staff report erroneously indicated Section 9.5-266 (b) instead of
Section 9.5-266 (f). This is being corrected by repealing Ordinance 10-2004 and replacing it with a
new ordinance with the scrivener's error corrected.
Ordinance llA-2004, prohibiting the awarding of ROGO points for aggregation within those areas
proposed for acquisition for resource protection, contained a scrivener's error. The error was one of
enumeration rather than textual. This is being corrected by repealing Ordinance l1A-20004 and
replacing it with a new ordinance with the scrivener's error corrected. The new ordinance will
encompass the content of Ordinance 010-2004 and Ordinance lIA-2004.
II. ANALYSIS.
Ordinance 010-2004 was found to contain a scrivener's error that did not affect the textual content of
the ordinance. Ordinance 010-2004 followed all due process for review pursuant to Section 9.5-511
including Development Review Committee, Planning Commission, Board of County Commissioners
and the Department of Community Affairs. At each stage of the process the ordinance was found to be
consistent with all applicable goals, policies and objectives of the Monroe County Year 2010
Comprehensive Plan as well as Florida Statutes and Florida Administrative Code. The correction of
the above-noted scrivener's error does not alter the content of the previously approved ordinance,
rather clarifies the appropriate subsection designation of (f) rather than (b) for Section 9.5-266 of the
ordinance. This correction is consistent with the criteria established in Section 9.5-511 (e), LDR.
Ordinance llA-2004 was found to contain a scrivener's error that did not affect the textual content of
the ordinance. The error was one of enumeration. Ordinance l1A-2004 followed all due process for
review pursuant to Section 9.5-511 including Development Review Committee, Planning Commission,
Board of County Commissioners and the Department of Community Affairs. At each stage of the
process the ordinance was found to be consistent with all applicable goals, policies and objectives of
the Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan as well as the Florida Statutes and Florida
Administrative Code. The correction of the scrivener's error does not alter the content of the
previously approved ordinance. The correct enumeration has been incorporated into the new ordinance
and is consistent with the criteria established in Section 9.5-511, LDR.
III. FINDINGS OF FACT.
1. BOCC Ordinance 10-2004 and BOCC Ordinance llA-2004 contained scrivener's errors.
These ordinances were the results of text amendments to Section 9.5-122.3; Section 9.5-124.8;
and Section 9.5-266 of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations.
2. Ordinance 10-2004 and Ordinance l1A-2004 will be repealed in their entirety and replaced by
one new ordinance containing the content of both the repealed ordinances.
3. Staff finds this amendment to be consistent with the criteria listed in Section 9.5-511(e).
4. Staff finds that the correction of the scrivener's errors does not alter the textual content of the
approved ordinance.
5. Staff finds the proposed changes to be consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the
Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan.
6. Staff finds the proposed changes consistent with F.A.C. Chapters 9J-5 and 9J-12, Florida
Statutes, Chapter 163, and The Principles for Guiding Development.
IV. RECOMMENDATION:
The Growth Management Staff recommends APPROV AL of the proposed repeal of BOCC
Ordinance 10-2004 and BOCC Ordinance l1A-2004 and the proposed replacement ordinance.
