ITEM BACKGROUND: In August 2020, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners ("Monroe County", "Board", "BOCC", or the "County") was awarded a $75,000 Resilience Planning Grant (R2111) from the Resilient Coastlines Program of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection ("FDEP" or "DEP"). These grants are available to Florida communities that are required to have a coastal management element in their comprehensive plan. The purpose of the grants is to promote community resilience planning, which includes complying with the "Peril of Flood" statute codified at Florida Statute Section 163.3178(2)(f), analyzing vulnerabilities and risks, and developing plans and policies that allow communities to better handle changing coastal conditions, and recover and move forward faster following disasters. This grant awarded to the BOCC includes updating Monroe County's current and ongoing vulnerability assessments and modeling, developing policy recommendations for Adaptation Action Areas ("AAAs"), and conducting Geographic Information Systems ("GIS" analysis of potential AAAs. The grant's Scope of Work is intended to provide data and analysis and example approaches to implementing Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Policy 1502.1.4,provided below. Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Policy 1502.1.4 Within five (5)years after the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Monroe County shall identify criteria to define adaptation action areas (AAA), or a similar concept to be defined by the County, which may include infrastructure. Within five (5) years after the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Monroe County shall identify proposed adaptation action areas (AAA), or a similar concept to be defined by the County. Pursuant to Chapter 163, F.S., AAA are those areas that experience coastal flooding due to extreme high tides and storm surge, and that are vulnerable to the related impacts of rising sea levels for the purpose of prioritizing funding for infrastructure needs and adaptation planning. In the AAAs, strategies will be developed to address vulnerabilities from these effects as well as the rate of impact and available adaptation options. In conjunction with later updates to the 2030 Comprehensive Packet Pg. 1316 M.6 Plan, Monroe County shall update existing, or map new,potential impacts of sea-level rise for consideration in long-term planning decisions. Through the grant awarded, a report with model language for AAAs (i.e., model language that could be plugged into a formal ordinance) was developed and presented to County professional staff per Task Deliverable 6.0. On June 161h, 2021, Monroe County's grant consultant Erin Deady gave a presentation to the BOCC regarding Example Adaptation Action Area Maps and Example Comprehensive Plan Policies; these were developed as part of that Resilience Planning Grant. Whether or not the professional staff should pursue adoption of the subject draft policy is pending BOCC direction. The professional staff have reviewed the model language and now provide(s) some recommended edits with additions shown in recl micicrHtic and deletions shown in Fe(l S� 4�e-flIFO�� #: I. The example goal(s), objectives, and policies would be used to inform decision making for long- term sea level rise ("SLR")planning and rebuilding/recovery efforts. The example model language is based on vulnerability to inundation based on the 2040 unified sea level rise projections of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact that was approved by the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners on April 15th, 2020, consistent with the anticipated 2040 planning horizon of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan following upcoming updates associated with the required 2022 Evaluation and Appraisal ("EAR") amendments. The Adaptation Action Area policies and maps were developed with close consideration of the GreenKeys vulnerability assessment, and provide the opportunity for increased consistency and collaboration amongst multiple Monroe County departments and offices in sustainability and resiliency efforts. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: April 15, 2020: The BOCC approved acceptance of the updated Unified Regional Sea Level Rise Projections (2020) of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact and directed its professional staff to utilize the updated projections as the basis for SLR adaptation planning activities May 20, 2020: The BOCC authorized issuance of a Request for Proposals ("RFP") for a consultant to assist development of County Adaptation Action Areas ("AAAs"). August 19, 2020: The BOCC approved the Final Ranking of the Respondents to the aforesaid RFP and authorized the professional staff to negotiate a contract with the top ranked respondent-firm. August 19, 2020: The BOCC approved Resilient Coastlines Program Grant Agreement R2111 received from the FDEP. April 21, 2021: Presentation to the BOCC of the results of the updated GreenKeys vulnerability assessment, being completed by consultant Erin Deady, as part of a resilience planning grant received from the FDEP (deliverable under the terms of said grant). June 16, 2021: Presentation of Example Adaptation Action Area Maps and Example Comprehensive Plan Policies, developed as part of a Resilience Planning Grant (R2111) from the FDEP's Resilient Coastlines Program.

ITEM BACKGROUND: In August 2020, Monroe County was awarded a $75,000 Resilience Planning Grant (R2111) from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Resilient Coastlines Program. These grants are available to Florida communities that are required to have a coastal management element in their U) comprehensive plan. The purpose of the grants is to promote community resilience planning, which includes complying with the "Peril of Flood" statute (Sec. 163.3178(2)(f) F.S.), analyzing a vulnerabilities and risks, and developing plans and policies that allow communities to better handle changing coastal conditions, and recover and move forward faster following disasters. The grant awarded to the County includes updating the County's current and ongoing vulnerability U assessments and modeling, developing policy recommendations for AAAs, and conducting GIS 0 analysis of potential AAAs. The grant's Scope of Work is intended to provide data and analysis and � example approaches to implementing Comprehensive Plan Policy 1502.1.4 (below). Q W Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Policy 1502.1.4 a Within five (5)years after the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Monroe County shall identify criteria to define adaptation action areas (AAA), or a similar concept to be defined by the County, which may include infrastructure. Within five (5) years after the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Monroe County shall identify proposed adaptation action areas a (AAA), or a similar concept to be defined by the County. Pursuant to Chapter 163, F.S., AAA are those areas that experience coastal flooding due to extreme high tides and storm surge, and that are vulnerable to the related impacts of rising sea levels for the purpose of prioritizing funding for infrastructure needs and adaptation planning. In the AAAs, strategies will be developed to address vulnerabilities from these effects as well as the rate of impact and available adaptation options. In conjunction with later updates to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Monroe County shall update existing, or map new,potential impacts of sea-level rise for consideration in long-term planning decisions.
