PROPERTY INFORMATION
Key:
Size of Parcel:
Key Largo Mile Marker: Ocean Reef
741,106.72 S.F. or 17.01 acres; 2.4 acres being changed
Location Detail & Brief Description:
The property is located on Key Largo in Ocean Reef. This property is part of the Card Sound
Golf Course with the airport runway to the southeast. The property is legally described as part of
Government Lot 9, PB4-83, Section 6, Township 59 South, Range 41 East, Ocean Reef, Key
Largo, Monroe County, Florida, having real estate number: 00081660.000100.
Existing Use:
A portion of the parcel has a designation SS and is next to the Card Sound Golf Course covered
with grass, trees and shrubs. The remainder of the parcel is the golf course, holes 6 and 7.
Existing Habitat:
The property is disturbed with both native and exotic landscaping.
Land Use and Habitat on the 1985 Existing Conditions Aerials:
The 1985 existing conditions aerials classify this disturbed with exotics.
Neighboring Land Uses and Character:
The surrounding properties are a variety of uses. Most of the parcels are contained by the golf
course or open space. The airport runway is to the southeast.
ZONING AND LAND USE HISTORY
Pre - 1986 Zoning:
The subject property was zoned GU prior to 1986. This designation was for a general use district
with the purpose of establishing an interim land classification pending action to rezone the
property for another use.
Considerations during 1986 comprehensive plan process:
During the 1986 revisions to the Monroe County Land Development Regulations and land use
designations (Ordinance 33-1986 dated February 28, 1986), the subject property was re-
designated as Sparsely Settled (SS) with a FLUM of Recreation (R).
Consideration during the 2010 comprehensive plan Process:
During the ensuing Comprehensive Plan process which culminated in the adoption of the
Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan in 1996, efforts were made to eliminate
Ocean Reef Map 11 LV Amendment
BOCC, August 16, 2006
inconsistencies between the existing Land Development Regulations and the newly formulated
Comprehensive Plan and to apply Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designations that were
consistent with the land use district designations. The property was given a FLUM designation
of Recreation (R) which was inconsistent with the Sparsely Settled (SS) land use district
designation.
Map changes or boundary considerations since 1986:
This section of this parcel was designated SS. The remainder of the parcel is Park and Refugc
PR. The entire parcel has a FLUM of Recreation R.
ANALYSIS AND RATIONAL FOR CHANGE (Pursuant to Section 9.5~511 (d) (5) b.)
(i.) Changed projections:
None.
(ii.) Changed assumptions:
None.
(iii.) Data errors:
None.
(iv.)New issues:
Staff became aware that the FLUM was not changed for several areas in Ocean Reef that had
land use designation changes in 1996. As part of the research to remove those
inconsistencies, Staff discovered that this parcel was zoned SS with a FLUM of R and was
being used for PR. Staff would like to remove this inconsistency and allow the current use of
the parcel to be allowed to continue.
(v.)Recognition of a need for additional detail or comprehensiveness:
The current zoning of SS does not properly reflect the uses which occupy the parcel nor is it
consistent with the FLUM of R. Staff would like to change the land use designation to PR to
reflect the current use and make it consistent with the FLUM
(vi.) Data updates:
None.
IMPACT AND POLICY ANALYSIS
Comparison of development potential for the Current and Proposed Land Uses:
1. Current Land development reflulations (LDR's)
The property has a current Land Use designation of Sparsely Settled (SS) which is inconsistent
with the Recreation (R) future land use map designation.
Sec.9.5-209, Purpose of the Sparsely Settled Residential District (SS)
The purpose of the SS district is to establish areas of low-density residential development where
the predominant character is native or open space lands.
2. Potential Land Uses with Proposed jl1ap Amendment
Staffis requesting a land use designation change from SS to PR.
Sec. 9.5-224. Purpose of the Park and Refuge District (PR).
The purpose of the PR district is to establish and protect areas as parks, recreational areas and
wildlife refuges. This change will accurately reflect use as well as be consistent with the FLUM.

Use Compatibility
This property is adjacent to and includes portions of the golf course. It is suitable for open space
and recreation purposes.
Effects on Natural Resources Goal 102
Goal 102 of the Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan states that Monroe County shall direct future
growth to lands which are intrinsically most suitable for development and shall encourage
conservation and protection of environmentally sensitive lands. Future development would be
required to comply with all Monroe County Code, State and Federal environmental regulations.
The Land use designation change will allow the parcel to be used for recreation and open space
servIces.
Effects on Public Facilities: Objective 101.11
Monroe County shall implement measures to direct future growth away from environmentally
sensitive land and towards established development areas served by existing public facilities.
The proposed Land Use District Map anlendments will not affect Objective 101.11.
Local Traffic, Parking, and Traffic Circulation
The subject property is located in Ocean Reef, a gated community with limited access to non-
members. Much of the travel within Ocean Reef is conducted using golf carts and staff has no
evidence that there will be any local traffic, parking or traffic circulation issues created.
Effects on Public Facilities
ORC provides many of its own services in terms and anticipates no problem continuing to meet
the community needs if this amendment is approved and enacted.
