MEMORANDUM
MONROE COUNTY PLANNING & ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
We strive to be caring, professional and fair
To: Board of County Commissioners
Through: Christine Hurley, Growth Management Director
From: Townsley Schwab, Sr Director of Planning & Environmental Resources
Date: March 27, 2012
Subject: Rescission of Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) Resolution 411-2011 and
Recommendation to the BOCC to allow all accumulated NROGO square footage prior years
in the Big Pine/No Name Key Subarea to be available for Year 20 (July 13, 2011-July 12,
2012)
1 Meeting Date: April 18, 2012

3 BACKGROUND
4
5 On March 28, 2012 the Planning Commission rescinded Resolution P33-11 and made a
6 recommendation to the BOCC to allow all accumulated NROGO square footage in the Big
7 Pine/No Name Key Subarea to be available for Year 20 (July 13, 2011-July 12, 2012)
8
9 On November 16, 2011 the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) adopted Resolution
10 411-2011 regarding the annual square footage availability for NROGO Year 20 (July 13, 2011
11 to July 12, 2012).
12
13 The Big Pine/No Name Key Subarea currently has two applications which exceed the available
14 NROGO square footage in BOCC Resolution 411-2011 of 2,500 square feet or less. The Big
15 Pine/No Name Key Subarea in the last several years has had limited demand in NROGO for
16 commercial square footage. The Big Pine/No Name Key Subarea has an additional surplus of
17 approximately 9,339 NROGO square feet. Therefore, staff is proposing an amended
18 recommendation to the Planning Commission to request the BOCC to rescind Resolution 411-
19 2011 and make available the cumulative SF available in the Big Pine/No Name Key Subarea
20 from Year 15 thru 20 for small allocations by a new resolution.
21
22 Staff will audit the Lower/Upper Keys excluding the Big Pine/No Name Key Subarea to
23 determine the unused square footage, and will recommend for NROGO Year 21 that all SF be
24 made available.

1 Monroe County Comprehensive Plan provides Goals, Objectives and Policies to manage
2 future growth and establish systems for regulating and distributing growth within the County.
3 Objective 101.3 establishes the non-residential permit allocation system (NROGO) and directs
4 the County to regulate non-residential development to maintain a balance of land uses to serve
5 the needs of the future population of Monroe County. Policy 101.3.1 further requires a
6 balance between residential and non-residential development by maintaining a ratio of
7 approximately 239 square feet of new non-residential development for each new residential
8 unit permitted through the Residential Permit Allocation System.
9
10 The Monroe County Code implements the Comprehensive Plan and provides specific
11 provisions for regulating non-residential development.
12
13 Section 138-47(b) provides the purpose and intent of the Non -Residential Rate of Growth
14 Ordinance (NROGO):
15
16 1. To facilitate implementation of goals, objectives and policies set forth in the
17 comprehensive plan relating to maintaining a balance between residential and non-
18 residential growth.
19 2. To maintain a ratio of approximately 239 square feet of nonresidential floor area for
20 each new residential permit issued through the residential rate of growth ordinance
21 (ROGO).
22 3. To promote the upgrading and expansion of existing small -size businesses and to retain
23 the predominantly small scale character of nonresidential development in the Florida
24 Keys.
25 4. To regulate the rate and location of nonresidential development in order to eliminate
26 potential land use conflicts.
27 5. To allocate the non-residential floor area annually hereunder, based on the goals,
28 objectives and policies of the comprehensive plan and the Livable CommuniKeys
29 master plans.
30
31 As mentioned above, non-residential growth is tied to residential growth by maintaining a ratio
32 of approximately 239 square feet of new non-residential development for each new residential
33 unit. Monroe County Code Section 138-24(a) and Rule 28-20.140, F.A.C., states the available
34 annual allocation is 197 residential allocations. Big Pine Key/No Name Key subarea is allotted
35 10 allocations from this total and the remaining area outside of Big Pine Key/No Name Key
36 subarea is allotted 187 allocations.
37
38 Monroe County Code Section 138-47(a) provides the definition for NROGO. The "annual
39 nonresidential ROGO allocation," is the maximum floor area for which building permits may
40 be issued during an annual allocation period. The "annual allocation period" is the 12-month
41 period beginning on July 14, 2001, and subsequent one-year periods that is used to determine
42 the amount of nonresidential floor area to be allocated based on the number of ROGO
43 allocations to be issued in the upcoming ROGO year.
44
Report NROGO Y20 BOCC SR 03272012 Page 2 of 6
1 As described above, maximum annual allocation is determined by multiplying the number of
2 available residential allocations for the residential allocation period year by 239 square feet
3 (SF) and then round the product to the nearest 100 SF (for example: 197 X 239). The Board of
4 County Commissioners, upon the recommendations of the Planning Director and the Planning
5 Commission, determines the maximum amount of floor area and its distribution for two
6 NROGO periods.
7
8 Section 138-51 of the Monroe County Code, establishes the procedure for allocating the non-
9 residential floor area distribution based upon the second and fourth ROGO quarter closure
10 dates. The ROGO closure dates for the second quarter is January 1 P and for the fourth
11 quarter is July 12. Therefore, the NROGO closure dates for the first period is January 12t' and
12 for the second period is July 12t'.
13
14 Additionally, Section 138-51(b) limits a maximum of 2,500 square feet for any one site, except
15 for sites located within a designated community center overlay area. For sites located in a
16 community center overlay area, the maximum allocation shall only be limited by the maximum
17 floor area per structure in Section 138-51(c). And, Section 138-51(d) states, "A minimum of
18 75 percent of the available floor area to be allocated in any annual allocation period shall be
19 for applications requesting floor area of 2,500 square feet or less. The remaining 25 percent
20 may be allocated to applications requesting floor area of more than 2,500 square feet."
21
22 Additional background specific to the Big Pine/No Name Key Sub -area:
23
24 1) In 1998, the Florida Department of Transportation, Monroe County, the Florida
25 Department of Community Affairs, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the
26 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission signed a Memorandum of
27 Agreement to develop a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for the Key Deer and
28 other protected species in the project area.
29
30 2) The Livable Communikeys Program (LCP), Master Plan for Future
31 Development of Big Pine Key and No Name Key was adopted on August 18,
32 2004 under Ordinance 029-2004. The LCP envisioned 47,800 square feet of
33 non-residential floor area over the next twenty years to be used for infill and
34 expansion of existing businesses. The LCP limits non-residential development
35 to Tier III disturbed and scarified uplands. Based on the non-residential area
36 square footage envisioned to be released over the twenty year horizon,
37 approximately 2,390 square feet of floor area can be made available per year.
38
39 3) Monroe County Code Section First 138-51(i) states that first allocations for the
40 Big Pine Key and No Name Key subarea (starting ROGO year 15, quarter 1),
41 the maximum amount of floor area available for allocation shall be based on the
42 number of permits issued under the 200 allocations authorized by the Big Pine
43 Key and No Name Key Community Master Plan and the number of ROGO
44 allocations to be made available in the ROGO year 15, beginning July 14, 2006.
