Regulations which provide a Concurrency Management System (See Capital Improvements Policy 1401.4.5). The Concurrency Management System shall ensure that no permits will be issued for
new development unless adequate public facilities needed to support the development at the adopted LOS standards are available concurrent with the impacts of development.
Monroe County shall reduce hurricane evacuation clearance
times to 24 hours by the year 2010.
Monroe County recognizes the discrepancy of units between
the County's proposed allocation to the Cities and the Cities' vested development assumptions. By January 4, 1997, the County shall initiate an interlocal agreement with the Cities to

By January 4, 2000, Monroe County shall have coordinated with FDOT to
identify funding and include the improvements needed to expand the segment of US 1 between mile markers 80 and 90 in the FDOT adopted five-year work program to have construction completed

to Card Sound road upon completion of planned roadway improvements by 1998.
By July 17, 2001, the County shall prepare an Evaluation and Appraisal
Report (EAR) of this plan. As part of the EAR process, in coordination with the South Florida Regional Planning Council, Key West, Layton and Key Colony Beach, the County will evaluate
the effectiveness of its programs in ensuring:

2. that the number of evacuating vehicles will be lower than currently projected in the Southeast Florida Hurricane Evacuation Study; and
3. the accuracy of the visitor population figures.
Monroe County shall establish an interim Permit Allocation System for new residential development. Work Program from Year 1.
By July 2005, Monroe County shall complete a market demand analysis and economic assessment to determine the demand for future non-residential development in Monroe County and planning
sub-areas. The non-residential development allocation and Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designations for non-residential uses may be revised based upon the results of this study, and other
relevant policy and economic studies and data and provide the basis for preparing specific amendments to the comprehensive plan to incorporate goals, objectives and policies on economic
development including tourism. The analysis will address existing non-residential uses, vacancy rates, economic trends and demand for non-residential uses by planning sub-area.
By fiscal year 1998, the Monroe County Land Authority shall dedicate a
minimum of 35 percent of its annual budget each year for the purpose of acquiring land from qualified property owners as defined by Policy 101.6.1. Funds accumulated from this source
shall be reserved for the acquisition of land from qualified property owners, but may also be used to acquire other properties when deemed appropriate by the Land Authority.

property owners as defined by Policy 101.6.1.

potential redevelopment areas. This assessment shall analyze land use changes, property values, structural conditions, business climate, renter/owner ratios, commercial and residential
vacancy rates, and other indicators of economic vitality and physical living conditions for which information is available.

Stock Island which shall address redevelopment needs identified by the needs assessment of potential redevelopment areas. Preparation and funding of this plan shall be coordinated with
the City of Key West.

By January 4, 1998, Monroe County shall seek an interlocal agreement with Dade County. This agreement shall provide Monroe County with an opportunity to comment on land use and regulatory
issues related to the Florida City Wellfield, aquifer and aquifer recharge area. It shall set forth procedures for review of land use and regulatory activities identified as having
potentially significant impacts on the aquifer recharge and water supply systems. Criteria for determination of significant impacts shall be included in the interlocal agreement. [9J-5.006(3)(c)6]

By January 4, 1997, Monroe County shall adopt Land Development
Regulations which establish a Permit Allocation and Point System for new residential and non-residential development (See Policies 101.2.1, 101.3.1, and 101.5.1).
By January 4, 1998, Monroe County shall evaluate the existing TDR program and adopt Land Development Regulations which address identified deficiencies in the program. The following issues
shall be considered in evaluating the program:
1. revision to the current tax policy whereby owners of sites which have transferred development rights continue to pay taxes on such rights until development orders have been issued
for the transferred rights at the receiver sites;
2. establishment of criteria for designation of sender and receiver sites based upon factors such as the environmental characteristics of the land;
3. establishment of mechanisms to enhance the value and marketability of TDRs such as assigning density bonuses to receiver sites;
4. clarification of the status of sites which have transferred development rights, including the possible requirements that sender sites be dedicated as public or private open space
through conservation easement or other mechanism. At a minimum, the LDRs shall be revised to require that a restrictive covenant be recorded on the sender site deed at the time of the
Allocation Award for the Permit Allocation System; and
5. establishment of a management and accounting system to track TDRS

Regulations which direct future growth away from areas subject to periodic flooding.

The County no longer has an Animal Control Department. It did have one before 1999. In March 1998, the County started to contract with independent contractors by contracting out the
Upper Keys animal control. By June of 1999, the remainder of the Keys animal control had been privatized and the department was eliminated, with contract oversight being handled, first
by Public Works, shifting to Community Services in the Tom Willi administration, then back to Public Works. In 2006, a major re-write of the animal control ordinances finally dealt
with the fact that the service had been privatized. What was Ch. 3, as amended by that ordinance was later converted to Ch. 4 of the County Code. Delete??

hearings were held in order to identify the major local issues on which the County
will focus its EAR:

conducted. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce staff to the
Comprehensive Plan update process and to obtain preliminary comments
regarding potential EAR major issues.
• February 24, 2010: The Planning Commission meeting was held at the Marathon
Government Center. The purpose of the meeting was to provide a briefing
regarding the Plan update process and to survey the commissioners regarding
the major issues upon which the EAR should focus.
• February 24 - 26, 2010: One-on-one interviews were conducted with the Board
of County Commissioners. The purpose of these meetings was to provide a
briefing regarding the Plan update process and to survey the commissioners
regarding the major issues upon which the EAR should focus.
• March 10, 2010: Monroe County Division Directors and other key personnel
were surveyed on the major issues upon which the EAR should focus.
• April 9 - 11, 2010: A series of public workshops were conducted in the lower,

importance upon which the EAR should focus.
• April 21, 2010: A public workshop was held on Sugarloaf Key. The purpose of
the meeting was to survey the participants regarding the major issues of
importance for the EAR.
• May 13, 2010: At the Scoping Meeting, agencies, adjacent cities and
municipalities met with County staff for the purpose of ensuring that all
important EAR issues are identified; agency/municipality concerns are
addressed; and to assist the County in developing strategies to address issues
that are within their jurisdiction or expertise.
