AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
A Public Hearing to Consider Whether to Approve a Resolution Transmitting to the State Land
Planning Agency an Ordinance by the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners That, If
Approved, Would Repeal Policy 301.7.2 of the Monroe County Year 2030 Comprehensive Plan and
Amend Policies 301.7.3 and 301.7.4, Which Would Grant the State of Florida the Power to Enlarge
Segments of Unincorporated U.S. Highway 1 to Four (4) Lanes of Traffic. TIME APPROXIMATE
1:30 P.M.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The BOCC has expressed an interest in alleviating day-to-day traffic congestion and/or failing or near-
failing segments of U.S. Highway 1 ("U.S. 1").
The BOCC on November 19, 2024, directed staff to draft a proposed amendment to the adopted Monroe
County Comprehensive Plan that would allow for the enlargement of bridges on unincorporated U.S. 1
to up to four lanes of traffic.
The BOCC likewise directed staff to request a meeting with FDOT to determine if adding additional
lanes of traffic to the remainder of unincorporated U.S. 1 (non-bridge segments) would improve day-to-
day traffic congestion.
At the BOCC's regular public meeting held on February 19, 2025, Growth Management Director Emily
Schemper presented the BOCC with an overview of the above-referenced January 6, 2025 meeting with
FDOT. After hearing the presentation, the BOCC directed staff to draft a proposed amendment to the
Monroe County Comprehensive Plan that, if adopted, would repeal the County's longstanding existing
prohibition on the State of Florida enlarging U.S. 1 (or any segment of U.S. 1) to four(4) lanes of
traffic in the Keys.

Please refer to the attached professional staff report for proposed amendment and analyses.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
At the BOCC's regular public meeting held on August 17, 2022, the BOCC amended Comprehensive
Plan Policy 301.7.2 as part of the Evaluation and Appraisal of the comprehensive plan process defined
in Section 163.3191, Florida Statutes. The amendment removed the following language, "However, any
such improvements identified on the Big Pine Key segment shall be deferred until the completion of a
Habitat Conservation Plan for the island. Unless already shown, the addition of a continuous two-way
turn lane shall require an amendment to the Future Traffic Circulation Map."

1 II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
2
3 The BOCC has expressed an interest in alleviating day-to-day traffic congestion and failing or near-
4 failing segments of U.S. Highway 1 ("U.S. 1"). The BOCC on November 19, 2024, directed staff to
5 draft a proposed amendment to the adopted Monroe County Comprehensive Plan that would allow for
6 the enlargement of bridges on unincorporated U.S. 1 to have up to four lanes of traffic. The BOCC
7 likewise directed staff to request a meeting with FDOT to determine if adding lanes of traffic in the
9 unincorporated Keys would alleviate day-to-day traffic congestion.
10 At its regular public meeting held on December 11,2024,the BOCC reviewed the Infrastructure Fiscal
11 Impact Analysis Report(the"Report")prepared and presented by and through Julie Herlands on behalf
12 of Tischler Bise, Inc. The Report included information based on different growth scenarios of potential
13 increases in ROGO allocations ranging from 220 to 8,000 additional ROGO allocations. The BOCC did
14 not,then(in December 2024) direct staff to draft an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to eliminate
15 the longstanding existing prohibition of adding lanes of traffic to non-bridge road segments of U.S. 1.
16
17 On January 6, 2025, BOCC Commissioner David Rice and County staff met with FDOT District VI
18 Secretary Stacey Miller along with additional FDOT staff.
19 Secretary Miller explained that expanding the number of lanes of traffic to four("four-laning")on bridge
20 structures would not alleviate day-to-day traffic congestion on U.S. 1.
21
22 It was discussed that, if FDOT were to study if additional lanes of traffic would alleviate day-to-day
23 traffic congestion, FDOT would have to spend resources to conduct a more thorough study that
24 addressed factors such as turn lanes,business access intersections,times of day,etc. in order to determine
25 if additional lanes of traffic would alleviate day-to-day traffic congestion.
26
27 FDOT stressed that such a study would only be performed in association with a specific infrastructure
28 project, through a Project Development and Environment ("PD&E") study. The process in a PD&E
29 study takes into account existing local laws and regulations. FDOT would not perform a study that
30 considered enlarging the number of lanes of traffic in the Keys to four(four-laning)if the Monroe County
31 Comprehensive Plan's longstanding prohibition on doing so remained in effect. If FDOT were to
32 contemplate developing additional lanes of traffic in the Keys, it would evaluate capacity over a 10-20
33 year period. At the BOCC's regular public meeting held on February 19, 2025, Growth Management
34 Director Emily Schemper presented the BOCC with an overview of the above-referenced January 6,
35 2025 meeting with FDOT. After hearing the presentation, the BOCC directed staff to draft a proposed
36 amendment to the Comprehensive Plan so as to remove the County's existing prohibition on enlarging
377 lanes of traffic to four lanes on any segment of U.S. L'
38
39 Community Meeting: A Community Meeting was held on April 7, 2025, in accordance with Land
40 Development Code Section 102-159(b)(3). No public comment was received.
41 Development Review Committee Meeting: On May 27, 2025, the DRC considered the proposed
42 amendment and provided for public input. On May 29, the DRC Chair signed Reso. No. 13-25
43 recommending approval.
44 FDOT -Joint Public Information Meeting:
45 On June 26, 2025, FDOT held a Joint Public Information Meeting in Marathon for the Long Key
46 Bridge and Seven Mile Bridge Project Development and Environment("PD&E") Studies. During the
47 meeting, FDOT announced that the PD&E studies for the two bridges are paused. It was stated that
48 FDOT will focus on rehabilitating the structures in lieu of replacement at this time. FDOT did not have
49 a date when the PD&E study would resume but did state that all information gathered thus far will be
50 maintained and assist in forming future decisions. FDOT stated it would continue outreach to keep the
51 public informed.
2 As opposed to on bridges only.

I Monroe County Planning Commission Public Meeting and Public Input:
2 On July 22, 2025, the Monroe County Planning Commission met and considered the proposed
3 amendment and provided for public input. The Monroe County Planning Commission issued a
4 recommendation for the BOCC not to adopt (i.e., to deny) this proposed repealing amendment to the
5 Comprehensive Plan, as documented in adopted Monroe County Planning Commission Resolution No.

36 IV. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT:
37
38 This proposed amendment to the Traffic Circulation Element of the Comprehensive Plan would repeal
39 Policy 301.7.2 which would, as a result, grant the State of Florida the power to enlarge segments of U.S.
40 1 in order to have up to four lanes of traffic rather than two lanes of traffic. Based on the statements of
41 the State of Florida—FDOT at the above-referenced January 6, 2025, meeting, that would be sufficient
42 for FDOT to pursue the above-referenced State FDOT study for possible solutions for any failing or
43 near-failing segments of U.S. 1 in the unincorporated County,which may include enlarging segments of
44 U.S. 1 to have up to four lanes of traffic rather than two lanes of traffic and/or road segments with passing
45 lanes and/or turn lane segments.
46
47 V. CONSISTENCY WITH THE MONROE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE
48 PRINCIPLES FOR GUIDING DEVELOPMENT,AND FLORIDA STATUTES.
49
BOCC SR 09.10.2025 Page 4 of 9

3
4 Policy 101.2.3
5 The County will consider capital improvements based upon the need for improved hurricane
6 evacuation clearance times, including potential impacts from sea level rise to the County's evacuation
7 route. The County will coordinate with the FDOT, the state agency which maintains U.S. 1, to ensure
8 transportation projects that maintain and improve clearance times are prioritized.
9
10 Policy 215.1.10.
11 Monroe County shall coordinate with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to ensure that
12 US 1 roadway capacity improvements necessary to maintain hurricane evacuation clearance time at 24
13 hours, including projects to address potential impacts from sea level rise to the County's evacuation
14 route, are completed.
15
16 GOAL 301
17 To provide a safe, convenient, efficient, resilient, and environmentally-compatible motorized and non-
18 motorized transportation system for the movement of people and goods in Monroe County
19
20 Policy 301.5.1
21 The capacity of U.S. 1 in unincorporated Monroe County shall be limited to four lanes. Densities and

24
25 Obiective 301.7
26 Monroe County shall ensure the County's transportation plan are coordinated with the plans and
27 programs of appropriate State agencies and local governments and are consistent with State and federal
28 regulations.
29
30 Policy 301.7.1

32 staff shall meet with officials from FDOT District 6 to review FDOT proposals for and recommend
33 additional improvements to U.S. 1 to ensure County priorities are identified and incorporated.
34
35 B. The amendment is consistent with the Principles for Guiding Development for the Florida Keys
36 Area, Section 380.0552(7), Florida Statutes.
37 For the purposes of reviewing consistency of the adopted plan or any amendments to that plan with the
38 principles for guiding development and any amendments to the principles, the principles shall be
39 construed as a whole and no specific provision shall be construed or applied in isolation from the other
40 provisions.
41
42 (a) Strengthening local government capabilities for managing land use and development so that local
43 government is able to achieve these objectives without continuing the area of critical state
44 concern designation.
45 (b) Protecting shoreline and benthic resources, including mangroves, coral reef formations, seagrass
46 beds, wetlands, fish and wildlife, and their habitat.
47 (c) Protecting upland resources, tropical biological communities, freshwater wetlands, native
