24 I. REQUEST
25
26 The Monroe County Planning &Environmental Resources Department is proposing amendments to the
27 Glossary of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, to amend the definition of accessory use or accessory
28 structure to allow for additional accessory uses and structures on vacant platted lots.
29
30
31 II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
32
33 At the April 20, 2022 BOCC meeting, Staff prepared an agenda item to for the BOCC to discuss and
34 provide direction to staff on potential options and concepts for accessory uses and structures on vacant
35 parcels from which development rights have been removed. The idea of using such parcels on the
36 shoreline for docking facilities was specifically mentioned, but the possibility of additional types of uses
37 was requested to be discussed.
38
39 Currently, the Comprehensive Plan Land Development Code allows accessory uses and/or structures to
40 be placed on the same lot/parcel or on a contiguous lot/parcel as an existing principal use or principal
41 structure. Contiguous parcels do not include parcels across the street. Docking facilities, however, may
42 also be permitted on adjacent lots/parcels, which include parcels across the street from a residence,
43 provided certain criteria established in the LDC are met [Ref. LDC Sec. 118-12(m)(5)].
44
45 The BOCC requested Staff expand the potential accessory uses and structures beyond docking facilities
46 and specified some potential criteria to consider:
47 • Limit to platted subdivisions within the Improved Subdivision (IS) and Urban Residential-
48 Mobile Home (URM) land use (zoning) districts;
49 • Located on the same Key/Island as the lawfully established principal use;
BOCC SR 07.19.2023 Page 1 of 6
File 2022-093
4098
1 • Not allowed on Tier I parcels;
2 • No clearing of habitat;
3 • Require the retirement of development rights;
4 • Prohibit rental to a third parry;
5 • Require a building permit to establish the use;
6 • Require building permit number to be displayed; and
7 • Potential Uses
8 o Docking facilities with electric, water and parking associated with the use of the
9 docking facility;
10 o Parking for boat trailer(s) for boats using dock/docking facility;
11 o Limited storage deemed non habitable space such as sheds and garages;
12 o Play structures,pergolas, tiki/chickee huts, seating areas with permanent structures such
13 as benches and pavers;
14 o Pools included as a part of a lawfully established homeowner's park
15 o Garden (already allowed if part of homeowner's park)
16 o Homeowners parks (already allowed)
17
18 Community Meeting and Public Participation
19 In accordance with LDC Section 102-159(b)(3), a Community Meeting for the Comprehensive Plan and
20 Land Development Code text amendments was held on February 7, 2023 and provided for public input.
21 There were ten (10) members of the public in attendance. Comments from the public included total
22 amount of accessory uses on one lot, utilization for commercial purposes, multiple lots linked to one
23 principal lot, utilization of lots by non-owners and concerns regarding enforcement of limited uses.
24
25 Development Review Committee Meeting and Public Participation
26 The Development Review Committee considered the proposed amendment at a regular meeting on April
27 25, 2023.
28
29 Planning Commission Meeting and Public Input
30 The Planning Commission considered the proposed amendment at a regular meeting on May 24, 2023
31 and did not provide a recommendation. However, during the discussion, the four of the five Planning
32 Commissioners had general consensus on the following which are related to the proposed companion
33 LDC Text Amendment:
34 1. The associated vacant platted lot must include trash removal;
35 2. To limit unenclosed structures to a cumulative total of 300 square feet; and
36 3. Remove the allowance for an enclosed structure.
37
38 The inclusion of trash (solid waste) removal would require an amendment to Monroe County Code of
39 Ordinances Chapter 1 to require notification for a solid waste assessment at the time of building permit
40 issuance.
41
42 Previous Relevant BOCC Actions
43 At the April 20, 2022 BOCC meeting, the BOCC discussed potential uses on vacant lots and provided
44 direction to Staff to proceed with text amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development
45 Code.

32 IV. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT
33
34 Based on the request of the BOCC and the limited addition of accessory structures uses,minimal changes
35 are required to the Comprehensive Plan. An amendment to the definition is necessary to allow for
36 accessory uses and structures on parcels that are not contiguous or adjacent. The proposed changes
37 amend the definition to allow for flexibility to be established within the LDC.

Article I. —In General.
Sec. 118-12— Shoreline Setback.
O Y Accessory Sectz t�� t 01..t within the
c Accessory structures. Accesso structures as defined m ,
shoreline setback shall be constructed at a foundation height not to exceed 18 inches above
existing grade and shall meet the following design criteria:
(1) Along lawfully altered shorelines adjacent to manmade canals, channels, and basins:
a. In no event shall the total, combined area of all structures occupy more than 60
percent(60%) of the upland area of the required 20-foot shoreline setback.
b. Accessory structures, including, but not limited to, pools, spas, and any screen
enclosure over pools or spas shall be setback a minimum of ten(10)feet, as measured
from the MHW line. With the exception of docks and erosion control structures, an
accessory structure other than those listed above not exceeding 18 inches in height as
measured from grade may be permitted within the 20-foot shoreline setback if the
structure is situated at least one (1) foot from the MHW line and constructed to avoid
any off-site discharge of stormwater from the subject parcel in accordance with
Section 114-3.
c._At grade decks not exceeding 6 inches in height as measured from grade may be
permitted within the shoreline setback if the structure is situated at least one (1) foot
from the MHW line and constructed to avoid any off-site discharge of stormwater
from the subject parcel in accordance with Section 114-3.
(2) Along open water shorelines not adjacent to manmade canals, channels, or basins,
and which have been altered by the legal placement of fill, and where a mangrove fringe
of at least ten (10) feet in width exists, or native vegetation exists or is planted and
maintained in a ten-foot (10) width across the entire shoreline of the property and is
placed under a grant of conservation easement running in favor of the County:
a. In no event shall the total combined area of all structures occupy more than 30
percent(30%) of the shoreline setback required for the principal structure.
b. Accessory structures other than docks and erosion control structures shall be set
back a minimum of 15 feet as measured from the MHW line or the landward extent
of the mangroves,whichever is farther landward, and shall be located in upland areas.
An exception shall be made for a maximum four-foot-wide walkway to the shoreline
or docking facility constructed in accordance with Section 118-12(m)(6). One
walkway shall be permitted per 100 linear feet of shoreline.
(3) Along open water shorelines not adjacent to manmade canals, channels, or basins,
and which have been altered by the legal placement of fill, and where no mangrove fringe
exists, and no conservation easement of native shoreline vegetation exists pursuant
to....5 e ctzo�:�............ .........2.(b)(4)b.:
a. In no event shall the total combined area of all structures occupy more than 30
percent(30%) of the shoreline setback required for the principal structure.
b. Accessory structures other than docks and erosion control structures, shall be set
back at least half the distance of the setback required for the principal structure, or 15
feet, whichever is greater, as measured from the MHW line, and shall be located in
upland areas. An exception shall be made for a maximum four-foot-wide walkway

connecting the developed area to a dock or water access structure constructed in
accordance with Section 118-12(m)(6).
(4) Along unaltered or unlawfully altered shorelines:
a. In no event shall the total combined area of all structures occupy more than 30
percent(30%) of the shoreline setback required for the principal structure.
b. Accessory structures other than docks and erosion control structures, shall be set
back a minimum of 25 feet, as measured from the MHW line or the landward extent
of the mangroves,whichever is farther landward, and shall be located in upland areas.
An exception shall be made for a maximum four-foot-wide walkway connecting the
developed area to a dock or water access structure constructed in accordance with
Section 118-12(m)(6).
(d) Stormwater and pollutant runoff. All structures shall be designed such that stormwater
and pollutant runoff is contained on site, consistent with the stormwater management
standards of this Land Development Code. Pools, spas, fish cleaning tables, and similar
pollutant sources shall not discharge directly into surface waters. Structures should be made
of permeable materials, whenever practical, to allow the infiltration of stormwater runoff.
(e) Applicability of open space and bufferyard requirements. All structures within the
shoreline setback shall be located such that the open space ratios for the entire parcel and all
scenic corridors and bufferyards are maintained.
(f) Enclosed structures and gazebos. No enclosed structures, other than a dock box of five
feet or less in height, a screened gazebo, and a screen enclosure over a pool or spa, shall be
allowed within the shoreline setback. Gazebos must be detached from any principal structure
on the parcel. No decks or habitable spaces shall be constructed on the roof of any gazebo.
Any individual gazebo within the shoreline setback shall not exceed 200 square feet in area
and the highest portion of the roof shall be no more than 12 feet above grade. Screen
enclosures over pools shall not exceed 12 feet in height. Multiple gazebos within the
shoreline setback shall be a minimum of 10 linear feet from each other.
(g) Boat shelter criteria. Non-enclosed boat shelters may be erected only over a cut-in boat
slip,basin, or ramp and may not extend into the adjacent waterbody beyond the mouth of the
cut-in area,nor extend over any mangroves, seagrasses or hardbottom communities. The roof
and supporting members of a boat shelter may extend up to two feet(2 ft) into the shoreline
setback around the perimeter of a boat basin or boat ramp. No decks or habitable spaces shall
be constructed on the roof of any boat shelter. The highest portion of the roof of any boat
shelter shall be no more than 12 feet above grade.
(h) Preservation of native vegetation. Structures shall be located in existing cleared areas
before encroaching into native vegetation. The remaining upland area of the shoreline
setback shall be maintained as native vegetation or landscaped areas that allow the infiltration
of stormwater runoff.
(i) Applicability of side yard setbacks. Side yard setbacks required pursuant to, 1"lap,t r
shall be maintained for all structures in the shoreline setback except for docks, seawalls,
fences, and retaining walls. Pier docks and mooring facilities such as davits, elevator lifts,
floating boat lifts and floating vessel platforms shall be set back a minimum of five (5) feet
from the side property lines (including the property line as extended into the water
perpendicular to the shore), or as specified within Sec1.J.....���............ 1 ............12(m) Docking Facilities
whichever is greater.

0) Tidal flushing and circulation. Shoreline structures shall be designed to protect tidal
flushing and circulation patterns. Any project that may produce changes in circulation
patterns shall be approved only after sufficient hydrographic information is available to allow
an accurate evaluation of the possible impacts of the project. Previously existing manmade
alterations shall be evaluated so as to determine if more hydrological benefits will accrue
through their removal as part of the project.
(k) Bulkheads, seawalls, and riprap. Bulkheads, seawalls or riprap shall be permitted,
provided that:
(1) Bulkheads, seawalls and/or riprap may be allowed without a principal use where it is
demonstrated that their purpose is necessary for erosion control. Any attachments to
seawalls or bulkheads, such as davits, cleats, and platforms, or any other elements that
constitute docking facilities shall not be allowed except as accessory to a principal use.
Seawalls without a principal use may have a cap of no more than two feet in width.
(2) Existing grade landward of the bulkhead shall be at least six inches lower than the top
of the bulkhead.
(3) Vertical type seawalls or bulkheads shall be permitted only to stabilize severely
eroding shorelines and only on manmade canals, channels, or basins. Such seawalls or
bulkheads shall be permitted only if native vegetation and/or riprap and filter cloth is not
a feasible means to control erosion. No new seawalls, bulkheads, or other hardened
vertical structures shall be permitted on open water.
(4) Lawfully existing, deteriorated seawalls and bulkheads may be repaired and/or
replaced and are exempt from the nonsubstantial improvements limitations except on
known or potential sea turtle nesting beaches. Repairs and/or replacements must maintain
the existing footprint to the maximum extent practicable.
(5) Whenever feasible, riprap, bulkheads, retaining walls and seawalls should be placed
landward of any existing mangroves or wetland vegetation. Native upland, wetland, and
aquatic biotic communities shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible.
(6) Wherever feasible,riprap shall be placed at the toe of solid seawalls to dissipate wave
energy and provide substrate for marine organisms.
(7) No seawalls, bulkheads, riprap or other shoreline hardening structures shall be
permitted on or waterward of any portion of any beach berm complex that is known to
be or is potential nesting area for marine turtles as determined by the County Biologist,
the state, and/or other appropriate agencies. Within known or potential nesting areas, the
County Biologist may, in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection, determine that specific segments of shorelines have been previously lawfully
altered to such a degree that suitable nesting habitat for marine turtles is no longer
present. In such cases, the County Biologist in cooperation with the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection may recommend reasonable measures to restore the nesting
habitat. If such measures are not feasible, the setback requirements of this subsection do
not apply. Restoration of suitable nesting habitat shall be required for unlawfully altered
beaches.
(8) Beach renourishment projects on open water may be approved only upon a
determination by the County Biologist that the project has a valid public purpose that
furthers the goals of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan.
(9) All such projects shall require state and/or federal permits prior to the commencement
of development or construction and prior to the issuance of a county 'Notice to Proceed.'

(1) Boat ramps. Boat ramps shall be permitted provided that:
(1) All boat ramps shall be located and designed so as not to create a setback
nonconformity for existing structures from the new MHW line created by the boat ramp.
(2) All boat ramps shall be confined to shorelines of manmade canals, channels, and
basins with little or no native vegetation.
(3) The width of boat ramps, including side slopes, shall be limited to 15 feet, except that
ramps serving commercial uses, public uses, or more than three dwelling units may be
35 feet in width.
(4) All above-water ramp, side slope or wall structures shall be located landward of the
original MHW line. This area shall be subtracted from the total area allowed for structures
in the shoreline setback in Sectioti � �8 �2(c).
(5) A maximum of two accessory docks, abutting either or both sides of the ramp, are
allowed provided setback requirements are met. These docks may extend beyond MHW,
but shall comply with all requirements of this Section and S e ct 011_„ _.00).
(6) Construction of a boat ramp shall not involve any filling of surface waters except for
the minimum amountneeded for the actual boat ramp surface,side slopes,walls or pilings
for accessory docks. Walls may not exceed two feet in width.
(7) Dredging shall be limited to the minimum amount necessary to construct the boat
ramp and may not exceed 100 cubic yards of total excavation above and below MHW.
No dredging of submerged grass beds or hardbottom communities shall be allowed.
(8) All such projects shall require approval by the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prior to commencement of construction
and/or issuance of a County 'Notice to Proceed.'
(m) Docking facilities. Docking facilities shall be permitted, provided that:
(1) Permit. All required permits from the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection and Army Corps of Engineers shall be obtained prior to commencement of
construction and/or issuance of a County permit or'Notice to Proceed.'
(2) Width. Docks shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the width of the waterbody as
measured laterally across the waterbody from the point of mean low water(MLW) of the
proposed location of placement, prior to construction of any dock, to the opposing point
of mean low water, prior to construction of any dock. The County Biologist shall use the
best available data to determine the point of MLW prior to construction of docks. Along
open water shorelines adjacent to manmade waterways where no breakwater, rip-rap, or
structure(s) exists along the outside of the waterway, the opposing point of mean low
water shall be measured as the edge of the lawfully dredged area.
(3) Setback Requirements. No vessel shall be moored or docked or otherwise secured to
a mooring facility in such a way that the vessel extends beyond the side property lines
(including the property line as extended into the water perpendicular to the shore).
a. Davits shall be set back from the side property lines (including the property line as
extended into the water perpendicular to the shore) the same distance as the required
principal structure setback on the property or five feet (5 ft), whichever is greater,
except that one (1) davit support may be located within five feet(5 ft) of the property
line provided the davit arm is designed to swing to the interior of the property.
b. Elevator lifts shall be set back a minimum of 7.5 feet from the side property lines
(including the property line as extended into the water perpendicular to the shore),
except that personal watercraft lifts with a maximum capacity of 1,500 pounds shall

feet wide and are located on manmade waterways that are 60 feet wide or greater. 4-
post hoists/cradle lifts shall be set back a minimum of 7.5 feet from the side property
lines (including the property line as extended into the water perpendicular to the
shore). 4-post hoists/cradle lifts shall also be permitted on parcels located on open
water shorelines (not adjacent to manmade canals, channels, or basins), and if
installed perpendicular to the shoreline shall be set back a minimum of five (5) feet
from the side property lines (including the property line as extended into the water
perpendicular to the shore).
(4) Navigable portion. No dock together with a moored vessel and/or lift structure shall
preempt more than 25 percent of the navigable portion of a waterbody. As used in this
section, navigable portion is measured laterally across the waterbody from the point of
mean low water prior to construction of any dock, to the opposing point of mean low
water,prior to construction of any dock. The County Biologist shall use the best available
data to determine the point of mean low water prior to construction of docks. Along open
water shorelines adjacent to manmade waterways where no breakwater, rip-rap, or
structure(s) exists along the outside of the waterway, the opposing point of mean low
water shall be measured as the edge of the lawfully dredged area.
(5) Adjacent parcel. Notwithstanding the provisions of the definitions of"accessory use

(62)Required conditions. Any docking facility shall meet the following conditions:
a. All pilings associated with the construction of any dock shall be non-CCA-leaching
(recycled plastic, concrete) or be wrapped with impermeable plastic or PVC sleeves.
Impermeable plastic or PVC sleeves shall have a minimum of 30 millimeter thickness
and shall extend from at least 6 inches below the level of the substrate to at least 2
feet above the mean high water line.
b. Docking facilities that do not terminate over seagrass beds or hardbottom
communities must have at least four feet(4ft) of water depth at MLW at the terminal
end of the docking facility, and continuous access to open water. A benthic survey
shall be submitted to document the presence or absence of seagrass beds and/or
hardbottom communities;
c. A docking facility that extends across a full ten percent of the width of any body
of water may terminate in water less than four feet (4ft) at MLW if this water depth
occurs within five horizontal feet of the terminal end of the docking facility such that
File 2022-094
Page 7 of 17
4117
the centerline of an average vessel will rest in water of adequate depth, and
continuous access to open water is available;
d. Docking facilities may be developed on the shoreline of lots in a subdivision that
was approved before September 15, 1986, if the docking facility is located in a
channel or canal that was dredged before September 15, 1986, and if there is a MLW
depth of at least four feet(4ft) at the terminal end of the docking facility. Such docks
shall not exceed ten percent of the width of the channel or canal; and
e. Docking facilities that terminate over seagrass beds or hardbottom communities
may only be permitted when the water depth at the terminal platform is at least four
feet(4ft) above the top of all seagrasses, corals,macro algae, sponges, or other sessile
organisms at MLW and continuous access to open water of navigable depth is
available. The height of pier type docks over benthic biological resources shall be a
minimum of 5 feet above mean high water (MHW) as measured from the top surface
of the decking, and the total size of the platform shall be limited to 160 square feet.
The configuration of the platform shall be a maximum of 8 feet by 20 feet. A
minimum of 5 feet by 20 feet shall conform to the 5-foot height requirement; a 3 feet
by 20 feet section may be placed 3 feet above MHW to facilitate boat access. A
benthic survey shall be submitted to document the presence or absence of seagrass
beds and/or hardbottom communities. A bathymetric survey shall be submitted to
document the water depth at the terminal end of the pier and/or platform and to ensure
that continuous access to open water of navigable depth is available. All such projects
shall require approval by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prior to commencement of construction or
issuance of a County 'Notice to Proceed.'
(7. ) Location of boat mooring on dockingfacilities. Except as specified in ect;iof):....�....�...``�::.
J 2,.
(m)(6)b, moored vessels and mooring facilities attached to docking facilities shall not
be located in less than four feet water depth at MLW. If a moored vessel and/or mooring
facility attached to a docking facility is located over seagrass beds or hardbottom
communities, it may only be permitted where the water depth is at least four feet above
the top of all seagrasses, corals,macro algae, sponges, or other sessile organisms at MLW
and continuous access to open water is available.
(89) Navigation interference. All docking facilities shall be constructed so as not to
interfere with normal navigation or reasonable access to adjacent docks or moorings.
(91O)Primary dock design. Where a mangrove fringe of at least ten (10) feet in width or
wetland vegetation exists along the shoreline, a dock with a walkway perpendicular to
the shoreline, such as a "T" or "L" dock (subject to the requirements of subsection
(m)(..p,+� )), shall be the primary design permitted,unless an alternate design is authorized
by state and federal permits.
0...wj �) Secure tie-down provisions. All docks with boat lifts, davits or similar lifting
mech
anisms shall provide cleats, rings, or similar features that can be used to tie down
the vessel when it is out of the water in order to stabilize the vessel during high winds.
(�:...�:...:).. ,.) Floating dock allowance. Any docking portions extending over water of at least
four feet at MLW may be supported by floats. Floating docks shall be subject to the
length and width requirements of the applicable dock type (marginal, T-style or Pier).
File 2022-094
Page 8 of 17
4118
(.:�... ,. w)Floating boat lifts and vessel platforms. The construction, installation, operation,
or maintenance of floating vessel platforms or floating boat lifts are permitted provided
that such structures:
a. Float at all times in the water for the sole purpose of supporting a vessel so that the
vessel is out of the water when not in use;
b. Are not for mooring vessels that remain in the water when not in use;
c. Do not substantially impede the flow of water, create a navigational hazard, or
unreasonably infringe upon the riparian rights of adjacent property owners, as defined
in Section 253.141, Florida Statutes;
d. Are set back from the side property lines (including the property line as extended
into the water perpendicular to the shore) a minimum of 10 feet if installed laterally,
and a minimum of five (5) feet if installed perpendicular to the shoreline, so as not to
create a navigational hazard;
e. Are secured to a stationary docking facility and, together with the dock, do not
exceed 25% of the navigable portion of a manmade waterbody as required by
subsection (m)(4) of this Section;
f. Are located in at least four (4) feet water depth at MLW;
g. Are not located over benthic resources; and
h. Are not located in manatee zones.
(�1:.. ..:�..4) Marginal docks. On shorelines landward of a seawall, revetment or manmade
canal or channel, a dock may run the entire length of the shoreline,parallel to the water's
edge, provided that:
a. The dock shall not exceed eight(8) feet in width or ten percent of the width of the
waterbody as required in....S e ct"J ot� .. 8`::�12(m)(2) whichever is less;
b. The landward edge of the dock is located entirely on the upland shoreline and no
walkway is needed to provide access to the dock;
c. All portions of the dock that extend over submerged lands are cantilever beam or
pile supported;
d. The dock is located so as to avoid or minimize covering or impacting wetland
vegetation or a mangrove fringe of more than ten (10) feet in width;
e.No 4-post hoists/cradle lifts shall be permitted on marginal docks located on altered
shorelines adjacent to manmade canals, channels, and basins, unless located in a cut-
in slip, or on a lot having a minimum of 70 feet of shoreline and where such manmade
canal, channel, or basin has a minimum width of 60 feet, as measured from MLW to
MLW prior to construction.
(�1:..4...:�..�.) T-style docks. Any dock with a walkway perpendicular to the shoreline, such as a
"T" or "L" dock, shall be designed as follows:
a. The portion of the dock parallel to the shoreline (whether floating or stationary)
may run the entire shoreline length of the parcel and shall not exceed eight(8) feet in
width or ten percent of the width of the waterbody as required in subsection (m)(2),
whichever is less.
b. The dock and walkway shall be located so as to avoid or minimize covering wetland
vegetation or mangroves.
c. The walkway connecting the dock to the shore shall not exceed four feet in width.
One such walkway shall be allowed for every 100 feet of shoreline length or fraction
File 2022-094
Page 9 of 17
4119
thereof (for example, 75 feet of shoreline may have one walkway and 101 feet of
shoreline may have two).
d. Where a mangrove fringe of more than ten (10) feet in width or wetland vegetation
exists along the shoreline and a "T" or "L" style dock would extend over more than
ten percent of the width of the waterbody, the County Biologist will coordinate with
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers to evaluate an alternative design. Such alternative design shall only have
the minimum deviations from this subsection to address this unique situation. On
shorelines exceeding 100 feet in length, one such dock shall be allowed for every 100
feet of shoreline.
(.:�...5J�.... )Pier type docks. Pier type docks shall be permitted provided that:
a..
. Such structures are oriented approximately perpendicular to the shoreline;
b. Such structures are located in an existing break in the mangroves or shoreline
vegetation; however, if no such break exists, a walkway no more than four (4) feet in
width, may be cut through the mangroves or shoreline vegetation;
c. Such structures are located such that no portion of the dock (including the terminal
platform and mooring facilities) is less than five (5) feet from the side property lines
as extended into the water perpendicular to the shore;
d. Such structures do not exceed four (4) feet in width, except for a terminal platform,
as allowed by subsection (m)(15)f,
e. Such structures are no longer than twice the linear shoreline frontage of the parcel
or 100 feet, whichever is less. For purposes of this subsection (m)(15)e., dock length
shall be measured from MLW out to the waterward extension of the dock. A special
exception may be granted by the Planning and Environmental Resources Director to
allow the minimum relaxation of this length restriction as is necessary to provide the
upland owner with access to adequate water depths specified for docking facilities.
Such special exceptions shall only be granted based on a written determination that,
among other criteria, the proposed dock will not be inconsistent with community
character, will not interfere with public recreational uses in or on adjacent waters, and
will pose no navigational or safety hazard. At least 30 calendar days prior to the
issuance of a county permit issued under such a special exception, the Planning and
Environmental Resources Director shall ensure that shoreline property owners within
300 feet of the subject parcel are notified by regular mail of the proposed special
exception in order to allow an opportunity for appeal; and
f. If proposed, the terminal platform is no wider than eight (8) feet in one dimension
and does not exceed a total of 160 square feet in area. The terminal platform shall be
constructed of grated materials to allow the maximum amount of sunlight infiltration
to the water under the platform. The terminal platform may include stairways for
swimming access, provided that all stairways are contained within the square footage
allowed for the terminal platform. The terminal platform may include a non-enclosed
gazebo that does not exceed 100 square feet in area and the highest portion of the roof
shall be no more than 12 feet above the decking or terminal platform Ievel.

Chapter 118 —Environmental Protection.
Article I. —In General.
Sec. 118-12— Shoreline Setback.
(c) Accessory structures. Accessory structures, as defined in Section 101-1, within the
shoreline setback shall be constructed at a foundation height not to exceed 18 inches above
existing grade and shall meet the following design criteria:
(1) Along lawfully altered shorelines adjacent to manmade canals, channels, and basins:
a. In no event shall the total, combined area of all structures occupy more than 60
percent (60%) of the upland area of the required 20-foot shoreline setback.
b. Accessory structures, including, but not limited to, pools, spas, and any screen
enclosure over pools or spas shall be setback a minimum of ten(10) feet, as measured
from the MHW line. With the exception of docks and erosion control structures, an
accessory structure other than those listed above not exceeding 18 inches in height as
measured from grade may be permitted within the 20-foot shoreline setback if the
structure is situated at least one (1) foot from the MHW line and constructed to avoid
any off-site discharge of stormwater from the subject parcel in accordance with
Section 114-3.
c.-At grade decks not exceeding 6 inches in height as measured from grade may be
permitted within the shoreline setback if the structure is situated at least one (1) foot
from the MHW line and constructed to avoid any off-site discharge of stormwater
from the subject parcel in accordance with Section 114-3.
(2) Along open water shorelines not adjacent to manmade canals, channels, or basins,
and which have been altered by the legal placement of fill, and where a mangrove fringe
of at least ten (10) feet in width exists, or native vegetation exists or is planted and
maintained in a ten-foot (10) width across the entire shoreline of the property and is
placed under a grant of conservation easement running in favor of the County:
a. In no event shall the total combined area of all structures occupy more than 30
percent (30%) of the shoreline setback required for the principal structure.
b. Accessory structures other than docks and erosion control structures shall be set
back a minimum of 15 feet as measured from the MHW line or the landward extent
of the mangroves,whichever is farther landward, and shall be located in upland areas.
An exception shall be made for a maximum four-foot-wide walkway to the shoreline
or docking facility constructed in accordance with Section 118-12(m)(6). One
walkway shall be permitted per 100 linear feet of shoreline.

4129
(3) Along open water shorelines not adjacent to manmade canals, channels, or basins,
and which have been altered by the legal placement of fill, and where no mangrove fringe
exists, and no conservation easement of native shoreline vegetation exists pursuant
to Section 118-12(b)(4)b.:
a. In no event shall the total combined area of all structures occupy more than 30
percent(30%) of the shoreline setback required for the principal structure.
b. Accessory structures other than docks and erosion control structures, shall be set
back at least half the distance of the setback required for the principal structure, or 15
feet, whichever is greater, as measured from the MHW line, and shall be located in
upland areas. An exception shall be made for a maximum four-foot-wide walkway
connecting the developed area to a dock or water access structure constructed in
accordance with Section 118-12(m)(6).
(4) Along unaltered or unlawfully altered shorelines:
a. In no event shall the total combined area of all structures occupy more than 30
percent(30%) of the shoreline setback required for the principal structure.
b. Accessory structures other than docks and erosion control structures, shall be set
back a minimum of 25 feet, as measured from the MHW line or the landward extent
of the mangroves,whichever is farther landward, and shall be located in upland areas.
An exception shall be made for a maximum four-foot-wide walkway connecting the
developed area to a dock or water access structure constructed in accordance with
Section 118-12(m)(6).
(d) Stormwater and pollutant runoff. All structures shall be designed such that stormwater
and pollutant runoff is contained on site, consistent with the stormwater management
standards of this Land Development Code. Pools, spas, fish cleaning tables, and similar
pollutant sources shall not discharge directly into surface waters. Structures should be made
of permeable materials, whenever practical, to allow the infiltration of stormwater runoff.
(e) Applicability of open space and bufferyard requirements. All structures within the
shoreline setback shall be located such that the open space ratios for the entire parcel and all
scenic corridors and bufferyards are maintained.
(f) Enclosed structures and gazebos. No enclosed structures, other than a dock box of five
feet or less in height, a screened gazebo, and a screen enclosure over a pool or spa, shall be
allowed within the shoreline setback. Gazebos must be detached from any principal structure
on the parcel. No decks or habitable spaces shall be constructed on the roof of any gazebo.
Any individual gazebo within the shoreline setback shall not exceed 200 square feet in area
and the highest portion of the roof shall be no more than 12 feet above grade. Screen
enclosures over pools shall not exceed 12 feet in height. Multiple gazebos within the
shoreline setback shall be a minimum of 10 linear feet from each other.
(g) Boat shelter criteria. Non-enclosed boat shelters may be erected only over a cut-in boat
slip,basin, or ramp and may not extend into the adjacent waterbody beyond the mouth of the
cut-in area,nor extend over any mangroves, seagrasses or hardbottom communities. The roof
and supporting members of a boat shelter may extend up to two feet(2 ft) into the shoreline
setback around the perimeter of a boat basin or boat ramp. No decks or habitable spaces shall
be constructed on the roof of any boat shelter. The highest portion of the roof of any boat
shelter shall be no more than 12 feet above grade.
(h) Preservation of native vegetation. Structures shall be located in existing cleared areas
before encroaching into native vegetation. The remaining upland area of the shoreline
File 2022-094—REVISED FOR 9/20/2023 BOCC
Page 3 of 18
4130
setback shall be maintained as native vegetation or landscaped areas that allow the infiltration
of stormwater runoff.
(i) Applicability of side yard setbacks. Side yard setbacks required pursuant to Chapter
131 shall be maintained for all structures in the shoreline setback except for docks, seawalls,
fences, and retaining walls. Pier docks and mooring facilities such as davits, elevator lifts,
floating boat lifts and floating vessel platforms shall be set back a minimum of five (5) feet
from the side property lines (including the property line as extended into the water
perpendicular to the shore), or as specified within Section 118-12(m) Docking Facilities,
whichever is greater.
0) Tidal flushing and circulation. Shoreline structures shall be designed to protect tidal
flushing and circulation patterns. Any project that may produce changes in circulation
patterns shall be approved only after sufficient hydrographic information is available to allow
an accurate evaluation of the possible impacts of the project. Previously existing manmade
alterations shall be evaluated so as to determine if more hydrological benefits will accrue
through their removal as part of the project.
(k) Bulkheads, seawalls, and riprap. Bulkheads, seawalls or riprap shall be permitted,
provided that:
(1) Bulkheads, seawalls and/or riprap may be allowed without a principal use where it is
demonstrated that their purpose is necessary for erosion control. Any attachments to
seawalls or bulkheads, such as davits, cleats, and platforms, or any other elements that
constitute docking facilities shall not be allowed except as accessory to a principal use.
Seawalls without a principal use may have a cap of no more than two feet in width.
(2) Existing grade landward of the bulkhead shall be at least six inches lower than the top
of the bulkhead.
(3) Vertical type seawalls or bulkheads shall be permitted only to stabilize severely
eroding shorelines and only on manmade canals, channels, or basins. Such seawalls or
bulkheads shall be permitted only if native vegetation and/or riprap and filter cloth is not
a feasible means to control erosion. No new seawalls, bulkheads, or other hardened
vertical structures shall be permitted on open water.
(4) Lawfully existing, deteriorated seawalls and bulkheads may be repaired and/or
replaced and are exempt from the nonsubstantial improvements limitations except on
known or potential sea turtle nesting beaches. Repairs and/or replacements must maintain
the existing footprint to the maximum extent practicable.
(5) Whenever feasible, riprap, bulkheads, retaining walls and seawalls should be placed
landward of any existing mangroves or wetland vegetation. Native upland, wetland, and
aquatic biotic communities shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible.
(6) Wherever feasible,riprap shall be placed at the toe of solid seawalls to dissipate wave
energy and provide substrate for marine organisms.
(7) No seawalls, bulkheads, riprap or other shoreline hardening structures shall be
permitted on or waterward of any portion of any beach berm complex that is known to
be or is potential nesting area for marine turtles as determined by the County Biologist,
the state, and/or other appropriate agencies. Within known or potential nesting areas, the
County Biologist may, in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection, determine that specific segments of shorelines have been previously lawfully
altered to such a degree that suitable nesting habitat for marine turtles is no longer
present. In such cases, the County Biologist in cooperation with the Florida Department
File 2022-094—REVISED FOR 9/20/2023 BOCC
Page 4 of 18
4131
of Environmental Protection may recommend reasonable measures to restore the nesting
habitat. If such measures are not feasible, the setback requirements of this subsection do
not apply. Restoration of suitable nesting habitat shall be required for unlawfully altered
beaches.
(8) Beach renourishment projects on open water may be approved only upon a
determination by the County Biologist that the project has a valid public purpose that
furthers the goals of the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan.
(9) All such projects shall require state and/or federal permits prior to the commencement
of development or construction and prior to the issuance of a county 'Notice to Proceed.'
(1) Boat ramps. Boat ramps shall be permitted provided that:
(1) All boat ramps shall be located and designed so as not to create a setback
nonconformity for existing structures from the new MHW line created by the boat ramp.
(2) All boat ramps shall be confined to shorelines of manmade canals, channels, and
basins with little or no native vegetation.
(3) The width of boat ramps, including side slopes, shall be limited to 15 feet, except that
ramps serving commercial uses, public uses, or more than three dwelling units may be
35 feet in width.
(4) All above-water ramp, side slope or wall structures shall be located landward of the
original MHW line. This area shall be subtracted from the total area allowed for structures
in the shoreline setback in Section 118-12(c).
(5) A maximum of two accessory docks, abutting either or both sides of the ramp, are
allowed provided setback requirements are met. These docks may extend beyond MHW,
but shall comply with all requirements of this Section and Section 118-10(d).
(6) Construction of a boat ramp shall not involve any filling of surface waters except for
the minimum amountneeded for the actual boat ramp surface,side slopes,walls or pilings
for accessory docks. Walls may not exceed two feet in width.
(7) Dredging shall be limited to the minimum amount necessary to construct the boat
ramp and may not exceed 100 cubic yards of total excavation above and below MHW.
No dredging of submerged grass beds or hardbottom communities shall be allowed.
(8) All such projects shall require approval by the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prior to commencement of construction
and/or issuance of a County 'Notice to Proceed.'
(m) Docking facilities. Docking facilities shall be permitted, provided that:
(1) Permit. All required permits from the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection and Army Corps of Engineers shall be obtained prior to commencement of
construction and/or issuance of a County permit or'Notice to Proceed.'
(2) Width. Docks shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the width of the waterbody as
measured laterally across the waterbody from the point of mean low water(MLW) of the
proposed location of placement, prior to construction of any dock, to the opposing point
of mean low water, prior to construction of any dock. The County Biologist shall use the
best available data to determine the point of MLW prior to construction of docks. Along
open water shorelines adjacent to manmade waterways where no breakwater, rip-rap, or
structure(s) exists along the outside of the waterway, the opposing point of mean low
water shall be measured as the edge of the lawfully dredged area.

4132
(3) Setback Requirements. No vessel shall be moored or docked or otherwise secured to
a mooring facility in such a way that the vessel extends beyond the side property lines
(including the property line as extended into the water perpendicular to the shore).
a. Davits shall be set back from the side property lines (including the property line as
extended into the water perpendicular to the shore)the same distance as the required
principal structure setback on the property or five feet (5 ft), whichever is greater,
except that one (1) davit support may be located within five feet(5 ft) of the property
line provided the davit arm is designed to swing to the interior of the property.
b. Elevator lifts shall be set back a minimum of 7.5 feet from the side property lines
(including the property line as extended into the water perpendicular to the shore),
except that personal watercraft lifts with a maximum capacity of 1,500 pounds shall
be set back a minimum of five (5) feet from the side property lines (including the
property line as extended into the water perpendicular to the shore).
c. Floating boat lifts and vessel platforms shall be set back from the side property
lines (including the property line as extended into the water perpendicular to the
shore) a minimum of 10 feet, if installed laterally and a minimum of five (5) feet, if
installed perpendicular to the shoreline, so as not to create a navigational hazard.
d. 4-post hoists/cradle lifts shall be permitted on parcels that are a minimum of 70
feet wide and are located on manmade waterways that are 60 feet wide or greater. 4-
post hoists/cradle lifts shall be set back a minimum of 7.5 feet from the side property
lines (including the property line as extended into the water perpendicular to the
shore). 4-post hoists/cradle lifts shall also be permitted on parcels located on open
water shorelines (not adjacent to manmade canals, channels, or basins), and if
installed perpendicular to the shoreline shall be set back a minimum of five (5) feet
from the side property lines (including the property line as extended into the water
perpendicular to the shore).
(4) Navigable portion. No dock together with a moored vessel and/or lift structure shall
preempt more than 25 percent of the navigable portion of a waterbody. As used in this
section, navigable portion is measured laterally across the waterbody from the point of
mean low water prior to construction of any dock, to the opposing point of mean low
water,prior to construction of any dock. The County Biologist shall use the best available
data to determine the point of mean low water prior to construction of docks. Along open
water shorelines adjacent to manmade waterways where no breakwater, rip-rap, or
structure(s) exists along the outside of the waterway, the opposing point of mean low
water shall be measured as the edge of the lawfully dredged area.
(5) Adjacent parcel. Notwithstanding the provisions of the definitions of"accessory use
or accessory structure" and"adjacent parcel" in Section 101-1, docks or docking facilities
may be constructed on adjacent parcels under the same ownership and within the same
land use(zoning)district,provided that a deg illy V,Iw ffly:established principal use and/or
structure exists on one parcel. In the event that ownership of the adjacent parcel
containing such an accessory dock is severed from the parcel containing the principal
use/structure, the dock and any other improvements must be removed and the shoreline

b. Docking facilities that do not terminate over seagrass beds or hardbottom
communities must have at least four feet(4ft) of water depth at MLW at the terminal
end of the docking facility, and continuous access to open water. A benthic survey
shall be submitted to document the presence or absence of seagrass beds and/or
hardbottom communities;
c. A docking facility that extends across a full ten percent of the width of any body
of water may terminate in water less than four feet(4ft) at MLW if this water depth
occurs within five horizontal feet of the terminal end of the docking facility such that
the centerline of an average vessel will rest in water of adequate depth, and
continuous access to open water is available;
d. Docking facilities may be developed on the shoreline of lots in a subdivision that
was approved before September 15, 1986, if the docking facility is located in a
channel or canal that was dredged before September 15, 1986, and if there is a MLW
depth of at least four feet(4ft) at the terminal end of the docking facility. Such docks
shall not exceed ten percent of the width of the channel or canal; and
e. Docking facilities that terminate over seagrass beds or hardbottom communities
may only be permitted when the water depth at the terminal platform is at least four
feet(4ft) above the top of all seagrasses, corals,macro algae, sponges, or other sessile
organisms at MLW and continuous access to open water of navigable depth is
available. The height of pier type docks over benthic biological resources shall be a
minimum of 5 feet above mean high water (MHW) as measured from the top surface

0...1::j �) Secure tie-down provisions. All docks with boat lifts, davits or similar lifting
mech
anisms shall provide cleats, rings, or similar features that can be used to tie down
the vessel when it is out of the water in order to stabilize the vessel during high winds.
(�1:...1:...:�.. ,.) Floating dock allowance. Any docking portions extending over water of at least
four feet at MLW may be supported by floats. Floating docks shall be subject to the
length and width requirements of the applicable dock type (marginal, T-style or Pier).
(.:�... ,. w)Floating boat lifts and vessel platforms. The construction, installation, operation,
or maintenance of floating vessel platforms or floating boat lifts are permitted provided
that such structures:
a. Float at all times in the water for the sole purpose of supporting a vessel so that the
vessel is out of the water when not in use;
b. Are not for mooring vessels that remain in the water when not in use;
c. Do not substantially impede the flow of water, create a navigational hazard, or
unreasonably infringe upon the riparian rights of adjacent property owners, as defined
in Section 253.141, Florida Statutes;
d. Are set back from the side property lines (including the property line as extended
into the water perpendicular to the shore) a minimum of 10 feet if installed laterally,
and a minimum of five (5) feet if installed perpendicular to the shoreline, so as not to
create a navigational hazard;
e. Are secured to a stationary docking facility and, together with the dock, do not
exceed 25% of the navigable portion of a manmade waterbody as required by
subsection (m)(4) of this Section;
f. Are located in at least four (4) feet water depth at MLW;
g. Are not located over benthic resources; and
h. Are not located in manatee zones.
(�1:.. ..:�..4) Marginal docks. On shorelines landward of a seawall, revetment or manmade
canal or channel, a dock may run the entire length of the shoreline,parallel to the water's
edge, provided that:
a. The dock shall not exceed eight(8) feet in width or ten percent of the width of the
yrequired Sect:lc�t�� 118::: I2(m)(2) whichever is less;water body as re ulre m .................................................................................................... >
b. The landward edge of the dock is located entirely on the upland shoreline and no
walkway is needed to provide access to the dock;
c. All portions of the dock that extend over submerged lands are cantilever beam or
pile supported;
d. The dock is located so as to avoid or minimize covering or impacting wetland
vegetation or a mangrove fringe of more than ten (10) feet in width;
e.No 4-post hoists/cradle lifts shall be permitted on marginal docks located on altered
shorelines adjacent to manmade canals, channels, and basins, unless located in a cut-
in slip, or on a lot having a minimum of 70 feet of shoreline and where such manmade
canal, channel, or basin has a minimum width of 60 feet, as measured from MLW to
MLW prior to construction.
(�1:..4...:�..�.) T-style docks. Any dock with a walkway perpendicular to the shoreline, such as a
"T" or "L" dock, shall be designed as follows:
a. The portion of the dock parallel to the shoreline (whether floating or stationary)
may run the entire shoreline length of the parcel and shall not exceed eight(8) feet in
File 2022-094—REVISED FOR 9/20/2023 BOCC
Page 10 of 18
4137
width or ten percent of the width of the waterbody as required in subsection (m)(2),
whichever is less.
b. The dock and walkway shall be located so as to avoid or minimize covering wetland
vegetation or mangroves.
c. The walkway connecting the dock to the shore shall not exceed four feet in width.
One such walkway shall be allowed for every 100 feet of shoreline length or fraction
thereof (for example, 75 feet of shoreline may have one walkway and 101 feet of
shoreline may have two).
d. Where a mangrove fringe of more than ten (10) feet in width or wetland vegetation
exists along the shoreline and a "T" or "L" style dock would extend over more than
ten percent of the width of the waterbody, the County Biologist will coordinate with
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers to evaluate an alternative design. Such alternative design shall only have
the minimum deviations from this subsection to address this unique situation. On
shorelines exceeding 100 feet in length, one such dock shall be allowed for every 100
feet of shoreline.
(.:�...5J�.... )Pier type docks. Pier type docks shall be permitted provided that:
a..
. Such structures are oriented approximately perpendicular to the shoreline;
b. Such structures are located in an existing break in the mangroves or shoreline
vegetation; however, if no such break exists, a walkway no more than four (4) feet in
width, may be cut through the mangroves or shoreline vegetation;
c. Such structures are located such that no portion of the dock (including the terminal
platform and mooring facilities) is less than five (5) feet from the side property lines
as extended into the water perpendicular to the shore;
d. Such structures do not exceed four (4) feet in width, except for a terminal platform,
as allowed by subsection (m)(15)f,
e. Such structures are no longer than twice the linear shoreline frontage of the parcel
or 100 feet, whichever is less. For purposes of this subsection (m)(15)e., dock length
shall be measured from MLW out to the waterward extension of the dock. A special
exception may be granted by the Planning and Environmental Resources Director to
allow the minimum relaxation of this length restriction as is necessary to provide the
upland owner with access to adequate water depths specified for docking facilities.
Such special exceptions shall only be granted based on a written determination that,
among other criteria, the proposed dock will not be inconsistent with community
character, will not interfere with public recreational uses in or on adjacent waters, and
will pose no navigational or safety hazard. At least 30 calendar days prior to the
issuance of a county permit issued under such a special exception, the Planning and
Environmental Resources Director shall ensure that shoreline property owners within
300 feet of the subject parcel are notified by regular mail of the proposed special
exception in order to allow an opportunity for appeal; and
f. If proposed, the terminal platform is no wider than eight (8) feet in one dimension
and does not exceed a total of 160 square feet in area. The terminal platform shall be
constructed of grated materials to allow the maximum amount of sunlight infiltration
to the water under the platform. The terminal platform may include stairways for
swimming access, provided that all stairways are contained within the square footage
allowed for the terminal platform. The terminal platform may include a non-enclosed
