Whereas, Monroe County is within an area that has been declared an Area of Critical State
Concern pursuant to Section 380.05 and 380.0552, Florida Statutes, and has adopted comprehensive
plan and land development regulations, approved by the State as required by law; and
Whereas, DCA is the state land planning agency authorized to administer the provisions of
Chapter 380, Florida Statutes, the Environmental Land and Water Management Act (the "Act") and
has promulgated rules in Chapter 9J-l, Florida Administrative Code (F .A.C.), to provide for the
form and manner of the renditions of development orders issued by local governments within Areas
of Critical State Concern; and
Whereas, Monroe County is required to issue development orders only in conformity with
its approved Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations; and
Whereas, DCA is authorized to appeal development orders to the Florida Land and Water
Adjudicatory Commission when DCA determines that the development order was issued
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Regulations and Principles for
Guiding Development; and
Whereas, DCA is authorized by Section 380.032(3), Florida Statutes, to enter into an
agreement with any landowner, developer or other governmental agency as may be necessary to
effectuate the provisions and purposes of the Act, or any related rule; and
Whereas, Monroe County owns the Key West International Airport facilities and property;
and
Whereas, the Key West International Airport is within the incorporated City of Key West;
and
Whereas, although the property is located within the City of Key West, the Monroe County
Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations apply to the County-owned

Whereas, the main roofline of the new terminal structure is proposed to be forty feet and six
inches (40' -6") in height from grade and necessary appurtenances are proposed to be forty-seven
feet (47') in height from grade; and
Whereas, Monroe County 2010 Comprehensive Plan Policy 101.4.24 states that in order to
preserve the existing community character and natural environment, Monroe County shall limit the
height of structures including landfills to thirty-five (35) feet. Exceptions will be allowed for
appurtcnances to buildings, transmission towers and other similar features; and
Whereas, Monroe County Land Development Regulations Section 9.5-283, Maximum
Height, dictates a maximum height limit of thirty-five (35) feet; and
Whereas, at the July 13, 2005 public meeting of the Monroe County Planning Commission,
the Commission voted to approve the Project, contingent upon the height limit being approved by
implementation of provision of Chapter 380, Florida Statutes and the Momoe County Year 2010
Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations; and

as ticketing and security, with a ceiling height often feet (10'); and
Whereas, the ten foot (10') ceiling will be partially enclosed where necessary to
accommodate mechanical equipment such as air conditioners, and partially opened such that the
roof truss system is visible to allow for effective interior signage and natural light through clerestory

Whereas, an open truss roofing system is necessary to allow for a pitched roof to adequately
accommodate typical weather conditions including wind, rain, and hurricane conditions; and
Whereas, the maximum height of the roof will be forty feet and six inches (40'-6") above
grade, with a maximum height for necessary appurtenances to be forty-seven feet (47'). Such
appurtenances are required and will house necessary mechanical equipment; and
Whereas, it is in the public interest, and in furtherance of the Principles for Guiding
Development listed in Chapter 28-36, Florida Administrative Code, that the height of the new
terminal at Key West International Airport exceed the maximum of thirty-five feet (35') as
regulated by Monroe County 2010 Comprehensive Plan Policy 101.4.24 and Land Development
