Property Identification Number 00141810-000000, as proposed by Robert L. Beardslee.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
On August 21, 2023, the Monroe County Planning and Environmental Resources Department received
an application from James Reynolds of Reynolds Engineering Services, Inc., on behalf of Robert
Beardslee ("Applicant") to amend the Monroe County Land Use District Map from Sparsely Settled
("SS") to Suburban Residential("SR") for property located at 1489 Boca Chica Road, Geiger Key
("subject property" or the "property").

Community Meeting and Public Participation
In accordance with LDC Section 102-159(a), a community meeting was held on November 15, 2023, to
discuss the proposed Land Use District("LUD") Map amendment and provide for public participation.
There were approximately seven(7) attendees. Comments from the Community Meeting included [but
were not limited to]:
• General support of the proposed LUD Amendment
• Concern over vacation rentals
Development Review Committee
The Monroe County Development Review Committee ("DRC") considered the proposed amendment to
the LUD Map at a regularly scheduled meeting held on December 19, 2023, to provide for public
participation, comments, and recommendations. On December 21, 2023, the Chair of the DRC signed
Resolution No. DRC 24-23, recommending APPROVAL of the proposed amendment to the Land Use
District Map to the Monroe County Planning Commission and Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners.
Monroe County Planning Commission
The Monroe County Planning Commission("PC") considered the proposed amendment to the LUD
Map at a regularly scheduled hearing held on January 24, 2024, to provide for public participation,
comments, and recommendations. On January 24, 2024, the PC Chair signed PC Resolution No. P02-24
recommending APPROVAL of the proposed amendment to the LUD Map to the Monroe County
Board of County Commissioners.
AMENDMENT REVIEW
The Property currently has a Land Use District("LUD") designation of Sparsely Settled("SS") and a
Future Land Use Map ("FLUM") designation of Residential Low("RL").
In the application materials, the Applicant states that the reason for the proposed amendment is:
"Existing conditions are non-compliant to Sparsely Settled(SS) (80%Min. Open Space- 4,800 sj)
requirement. The existing house alone makes the property non-conforming to open space (6,000 sf-
1,725 sf=4,275 sf, 71.2501o). Therefore the property owner is presented with a hardship that will not
allow them to do any improvements to their property. The property owner would like to add a
swimming pool to their property but cannot due to the designation of Sparsely Settled.
3635
The LUD Amendment would allow for a change in the Minimum Open Space Ratio from 0.80 in SS to
0.50 in SR which would allow the Applicant to build a swimming pool without changing the density or
restricted usage of his property.
The amendment would not change the allowable development because SS designated properties have an
allocated density of 0.5 units per acre, and SR designated properties have an allocated density of 0.5
units per acre."
The Applicant's full explanation and justification of the proposed amendment is included in the file for
the application(File 2023-193).
LUD Comparisons
Existing
Land Development Code ("LDC") Section 130-49.- Purpose of the Sparsely Settled 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.
Proposed
LDC Section 130-47.- Purpose of the Suburban Residential District (SR)
The purpose of the SR district is to establish areas of low- to medium-density residential uses
characterized principally by single-family detached dwellings. This district is predominated by
development; however, natural and developed open space creates an environment defined by plants,
spaces and over-water views.
The subject property is currently developed with a single-family residence (detached dwelling)
with surrounding single family residential properties in addition to natural areas and open space.
Permitted and Conditional Uses
The table on Page 5 of the attached Monroe County Planning & Environmental Resources Department
Professional Staff Report provides a comparison of the permitted and conditional uses of the existing
Zoning District as compared to the amended Zoning District. Those uses that differ in the proposed SR
zoning are in red. This table is for the purpose of providing a summary only. The full lists of permitted
and conditional uses within both the SS and SR Zoning Districts are included as Attachments 2 and 3 to
the Report.
Maximum Density and Intensity by Land Use (Zoning) District
The table on Pages 5 and 6 of the attached Staff Report provides a comparison of the development
potential for residential, transient and commercial development of the existing Zoning District as
compared to the amended Zoning District.
Section 130-156(b) of the LDC states: "The density and intensity provisions set out in this section are
intended to be applied cumulatively so that no development shall exceed the total density limits of this
article. For example, if a development includes both residential and commercial development, the total
gross amount of development shall not exceed the cumulated permitted intensity of the parcel proposed
for development."
3636
As shown in the orange portion of the table, the proposed LUD amendment would result in an increase
of 300 square feet of nonresidential development potential for those limited uses permitted within the
SR Land Use District. There would be no change to allocated density, maximum net density, nor
transient density on the Property.
Any proposed new residential or nonresidential use would be subject to the requirements of Chapter 138
of the Land Development Code related to the Residential Rate of Growth Ordinance
("ROGO"/"NROGO")permit process.
Pursuant to Land Development Code Section 130-163, property owners whose land contains a
lawfully established dwelling unit that was in existence before January 4, 1996, are permitted to
replace the unit and it shall not be considered nonconforming to density. Therefore, regardless of
the zoning district, the previously existing unit would be permitted to be replaced under either the
existing or proposed land use district.
COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA
According to the application materials submitted, the existing single-family residence on the subject
property is approximately 1,729 square feet. Although other structures are referenced and appear to be
in existence on the subject property, Monroe County Planning and Environmental Resources
Department professional staff has only been able to locate building permit approval of the single-family
residence and a 240 square foot seawall, resulting in what appears to be a permitted open space ratio of
0.67 or 67% on the Property. The Property is lawfully nonconforming to the required 0.8 or 80% open
space ratio of the SS zoning district. Approval of the requested LUD Amendment would bring the
Property into compliance with the required open space ratio [0.5 or 50% in the SR Zoning].
It should be noted that there is a property within the same platted subdivision (approximately 770 feet
away) that is located within the Suburban Residential ("SR") Land Use District. The zoning of this
property was amended from SS to SR through BOCC Ordinance No. 017-2018.
The proposed Land Use District (L UD) map amendment is not anticipated to adversely impact the
community character of the surrounding area.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE MONROE COUNTY YEAR 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE
LOWER KEYS LIVABLE COMMUNIKEYS PLANAND THE MONROE COUNTYLAND
DEVELOPMENT CODE
A. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Monroe
County Year 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Refer to the attached Professional Staff Report for specific

I Policy 105.2.1
2 Monroe County shall designate all lands outside of mainland Monroe County, except for the Ocean Reef
3 planned development, into three general categories for purposes of its Land Acquisition Program and smart
4 growth initiatives in accordance with the criteria in Policy 205.1.1. These three categories are: Natural Area
5 (Tier 1); Transition and Sprawl Reduction Area(Tier II) on Big Pine Key and No Name Key only; and Infill
6 Area(Tier III). The purposes,general characteristics,and growth management approaches associated with each
7 tier are as follows:
8
9
10 3. Infill Area (Tier III): Any defined geographic area, where a significant portion of land area is not
11 characterized as environmentally sensitive as defined by this Plan, except for dispersed and isolated
12 fragments of environmentally sensitive lands of less than four acres in area, where existing platted
13 subdivisions are substantially developed,served by complete infrastructure facilities,and within close
14 proximity to established commercial areas, or where a concentration of nonresidential uses exists,is
15 to be designated as an Infill Area. New development and redevelopment are to be highly encouraged,
16 except within tropical hardwood hammock or pineland patches of an acre or more in area, where
17 development is to be discouraged. Within an Infill Area are typically found:platted subdivisions with
18 50 percent or more developed lots situated in areas with few sensitive environmental features; full
19 range of available public infrastructure in terms of paved roads, potable water, and electricity; and
20 concentrations of commercial and other nonresidential uses within close proximity. In some Infill
21 Areas, a mix of nonresidential and high-density residential uses (generally 8 units or more per acre)
22 may also be found that form a Community Center.
23
24 Policy 105.2.2
25 Monroe County shall maintain overlay map(s) designating geographic areas of the County as one of the Tiers
26 in accordance with the guidance in Policy 105.2.1, which shall be incorporated as an overlay on the zoning
27 map(s)with supporting text amendments in the Land Development Regulations. These maps are to be used to
28 guide the Land Acquisition Program and the smart growth initiatives in conjunction with the Livable
29 CommuniKeys Program (Policy 101.19.1).
30
31 108.2
32 Monroe County shall consider the protection of public health, safety and welfare as a principal objective of
33 compatible land use planning on lands adjacent to or closely proximate to the Boca Chica airfield of NASKW.

43 Monroe County and Naval Air Station Key West(NASKW)recognize the existing density and intensity, as of
44 the effective date of this policy, established by the Future Land Use Element and Future Land Use Map for
45 property adjacent to or closely proximate to NASKW. NASKW has indicated that it will not object to the
46 issuance of development orders, within the MIAI, if properties have development rights on Future Land Use
47 Map, Land Use District(Zoning) Map, approved development agreements or Section 380.032,F.S.agreements
48 with the State Land Planning Agency. NASKW may provide comments and suggest measures to mitigate
49 potential impacts. (Ord.No. 012-2012, DEO 12-IACSC-NOI-4401-(A)—(I), eff. 7-19-2012)

26 analyzed in the Monroe County Year 2030 Comprehensive Plan;
27 b. As required by Monroe County Land Development Code Section 102-158(d)(7)b.,

10 Comprehensive Plan;
