AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion of changing Monroe County Land Development Code
Section 122-25(b)(1)b limiting construction materials of enclosures below Design Flood Elevation in
VE and Coastal A Flood Zones to screen or open lattice walls.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Monroe County's Floodplain Management Ordinance was repealed and
replaced by the updated version currently in effect as of March 7, 2023. This updated ordinance was
written to be in compliance with the State of Florida Model Floodplain Ordinance. During the
drafting of the ordinance, a misunderstanding at the Staff level caused a stricter requirement for
construction below elevated structures in VE and Coastal A Flood Zones to be added into the
ordinance. This language remained in the ordinance as adopted and, as a result, it eliminated all
opaque-walled enclosures. This language eliminates the ability of applicants to have any enclosures
other than those with screen or open lattice walls below elevated structures in VE Flood Zones.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: At their regularly scheduled meeting on 3/22/23, the
Monroe County Board of County Commissioners directed Staff to conduct a workshop on the
Updated Floodplain Management Ordinance and be prepared to discuss the changes made.
