RESOLUTION NO. 156-2007
A RESOLUTION OF THE MONROE BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AUTHORIZING THE
WAIVER OF BUIT..DING PERMIT AND
APPLICA nON FEES FOR THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS, PURSUANT TO
MONROE COUNTY CODE, SEe. 6"27(d)(2) AND
SEC.6-27(e).
WHEREAS, the State of Florida and all local governments in the Florida Keys
(each subject to Area of Critical State Concern mandates relating to housing
affordability) recognize the need for affordable housing throughout the state and
particularly in the Florida Keys where developable land for housing is extremely limited
and expensive; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners is committed to addressing
critical housing affordability issues facing the Florida Keys; 'and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners makes the following findings
of fact:
1. The State of Florida and all local governments in the Florida Keys recognize the
need for affordable housing throughout the state and particularly in the Florida
Keys where developable land for housing is extremely limited and expensive.
2. To encourage the creation of affordable housing the Board of County
Commissioners must take innovative actions, such as the waiver or elimination of
building, permitting and other fees.
3. Monroe County Code Sec. 6-27 (d) (2) provides for full exemption from county
building and permit application fees for the construction of affordable housing
projects that are "receiving financial assistance from Monroe County."
4. Monroe County Code Sec. 6-27 (e) provides that not-for-profit organizations and
.. . .. lessees of county-owned property for construction on said property ... may
apply to the Board of County Commissioners for fee waivers from the permit and
application fees".
5. A generic waiver for all projects for which waiver would be allowable under the
County Code would provide incentives, or at least diminish the disincentives, for
the creation of affordable housing, to include such measures as waiver of
building, permitting and other fees, developers have been hesitant to create
additional affordable housing in the Florida Keys; now therefore
.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA:
Section 1. It is the intention of the Board of County Commissioners to always waive
the building permit and application fees charged by Monroe County for

date of execution of this Resolution.
Section 3. Growth Management Division staff is directed to prepare an
amendment to Monroe County Code Sec. 6:27(d)(2) and Sec. 6-27(e) to
routinely implement the above intention of the Board.
