MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA:
Section 1.
Sections 6-177 through 6-194, Monroe County
Code, codifying ordinances numbered 3-1975, 30-1983, 8-1977,
12-1979, and 5-1984, are hereby repealed.
Section 2.
Chapter 6, Article V, Sections 6-177 through
6-196, are hereby created to read as follows:
"Sec. 6-177. Findings of Fact, Statement of Purposes,
Objectives Statement of Legislative
Intent.
A. Findings of Fact
1. Monroe County is located on the open
coast and includes the southwest portion of the Florida
peninsula and the Florida Keys. The Florida Keys are a
low-lying chain of islands extending in a southwesterly
direction from the Florida peninsula.
2. These areas are subj ect to inundation
from tidal surges and wind-driven waves associated with
hurricanes approaching from the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of
Mexico and Florida Bay.
3. Inundation of the flood hazard areas of
the County results in threat to life, loss of property,
health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and
governmental services, extraordinary expenditures for
flood protection and relief and impairment of the
economic base.
4. These flood losses are caused by occu-
pancy of the flood plains by uses inadequately protect-
ed from flood damage and by increased flood heights or
velocities caused by the cumulative effects of obstruc-
tion or alteration of the flood plain.
5. The Administrator of the National Flood
Insurance Program has designed areas of special flood
hazard within the County, including coastal high hazard
areas, and established minimum standards for flood
plain management regulations that shall be adopted by
the County in order to secure participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program as described in Title
44, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 59 et seq. Upon
determination of the adequacy of said regulations by
the Administrator, the County will qualify for flood
2
insurance availability and other financial assistance
benefits as described in Title 44, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 59 et seq.
B. Statement of Purpose
It is the purpose of this ordinance to
promote the public health, safety and general welfare
and to minimize public and private losses due to flood
conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to:
1. restrict or prohibit uses which are
dangerous to health, safety and property
due to water or erosion hazards, or
which result in damaging increases in
erosion or in flood heights or veloc-
ities;
2. require that uses vulnerable to floods,
including facilities which serve such
uses, be protected against flood damage
at the time of initial construction;
3. control the alteration of natural
flood plains, stream channels, and
natural protective barriers which are
involved in the accommodation of flood
waters;
4. control filling, grading, dredging and
other development which may increase
erosion or flood damage, and;
5. prevent or regulate the construction of
flood barriers which will unnaturally
divert flood waters or which may in-
crease flood hazards to other lands.
C. Objectives
The objectives of this ordinance are:
1. to protect human life and health;
2. to minimize expenditure of public money
for costly flood control projects;
3
3. to minimize the need for rescue and
relief efforts associated with flooding
and generally undertaken at the expense
of the general public;
4. to minimize prolonged business
interruptions;
5. to minimize damage to public facilities
and utilities such as water and gas
mains, electric, telephone and sewer
lines, streets and bridges located in
flood plains;
6. to help maintain a stable tax base by
providing for the sound use and develop-
ment of flood prone areas in such a
manner as to minimize future flood
blight areas, and;
7. to insure that potential home buyers are
notified the property is in a flood
hazard area.
D. Statement of Legislative Intent
The Board of County Commissioners deem it in
the best of its citizens interest that prudent measures
be taken to minimize the potential public and private
loss due to flooding, and that said County should at
all times be eligible for and receive the benefits of
participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.
It is therefore the intent of the board that the
provisions of this Article be strictly adhered to.
Sec. 6-178. Definitions.

mobile home subdivision means the preparation of
additional sites by the construction of facilities for
servicing the lots on which the mobile homes are to be
affixed, including the installation of utilities,
either final site grading or pouring of concrete pads,
or the construction of streets. Any expansion is
considered "new construction".
Flood or flooding means a general and temporary

footings or any work beyond the stage of excavation,
including the relocation of a structure. Permanent
construction does not include the installation of
streets or walkways; nor does it include excavation for
a basement, footings, piers or foundations or the
erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the
installation on the property of accessory buildings,
such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units
or not a part of the main structure. For a structure
(other than a mobile home) without a basement or poured
footings, the "start of construction" includes the
first permanent framing or assembly of the structure or
any part thereof on its piling or foundation. For
mobile homes not within a mobile home park or mobile
home subdivision, "start of construction" means the
affixing of the mobile home to its permanent site. For

ing, at a minimum, the construction of streets, either
final site grading or the pouring of concrete pads and
installation of utilities) is completed.
Structure means a walled and roofed building that
is principally above ground, a mobile home, a gas or
liquid storage tank, or other man-made facilities or

Substantial improvement means any repair, recon-
struction, or improvement of a structure the cost of
which, as reflected by the square foot valuation of the
improvement by current standards of the Monroe County
Building Department, equals or exceeds fifty (50)
percent of the market value of the structure, as
reflected by the most recent available valuation
assessed by the Monroe County Property Appraiser,
either before the improvement or repair is started, or
if the structure has been damaged and is being re-
stored, before the damage occurred. For the purposes
of this definition "substantial improvement" is con-
sidered to occur when the first alteration of any wall,
ceiling, floor, or other structural part of the build-
ing commences, whether or not that alteration affects
the external dimensions of the structure. The term
does not, however, include either (1) any project for
improvement of a structure to comply with existing
State or local health, sanitary, or safety code speci-
fications which are solely necessary to assure safe
living conditions, or (2) any alteration of a structure
listed on the National Register of Historic Places or a
State Inventory of Historic Places.
Variance is a grant of relief to a person from the
requirements of this ordinance which permits con-
9

actual field conditions) the Director of
Planning, Building and Zoning shall make the
necessary interpretation. The person con-
testing the location of the boundary shall be
16
given a reasonable opportunity to appeal the
interpretation as provided in this Article.
L. When base flood elevation data has not been
provided in accordance with section 6-179 of
this article, then the Director of Planning,
Building and Zoning shall obtain, review and
reasonably utilize any base flood elevation
data available from a Federal, State or other
source, in order to administer the provisions

Variances Procedures.
A.
Authority of the County Commission.
The
County Commission shall have the authority and duty to
consider and act upon applications for a variance from
the regulations of this Article. The County Commission
shall also have the authority to consider and act upon
appeals when it is alleged there is an error in any
requirement, decision, or determination made by the
Director of Planning, Building and Zoning in the
enforcement or administration of this Article. Such
17
board is admonished that in granting any variances
hereunder, it must consider the purposes of the Nation-
al Flood Insurance Program, as specified in Title 24,
Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 10, subchapter B,
Parts 59 et seq. Further, such board shall consider
the fact that an annual report on variances granted
must be submitted to the National Flood Insurance
Administration, which report is the basis for continued
availability of flood insurance to the inhabitants of
the County, and therefore, variances should be granted
with extreme caution.
B. Variances shall be in harmony with general
purpose and intent of article. The board may grant
variances from the terms of this Article as will not be
contrary to the public interest, where owing to special
conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions
hereof will result in unnecessary hardship, and so the
spirit of the regulations shall be observed and sub-
stantial justice done: Provided that the variance will
be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of
this Article and that the same is the minimum variance
that will permit the reasonable use of the premises.
C. Conditions.
(1) Variances may be issued for the
reconstruction, rehabilitation or
restoration of structures listed on the
National Register of Historic Places or
the Florida Inventory of Historic
Places, without regard to the procedures
set forth in this section.
(2) Variances shall only be issued upon a
determination that the variance is the
minimum necessary, considering the flood
hazard, to afford relief.
(3) Variances shall only be issued upon:
18
a. a showing of good and sufficient
cause;
b. a determination that failure to
grant the variance would result in
exceptional hardship to the appli-
cant and;
c. a determination that the granting
of a variance will not:
(1)
(2)
result in increased flood
heights;
result in additional threats
to public safety;
result in extraordinary public
(3)
expense;
(4) create nuisance;
(5) cause fraud on or
victimization of the public;
or
(6) conflict with existing local
laws or ordinances.
(4) Any applicant to whom a variance is
grated shall be given written notice
specifying the difference between the
base flood elevation and the elevation
to which the structure is to be built
and stating that the cost of flood
insurance will be commensurate with the
increased risk resulting from the
reduced lowest floor elevation.
(5) All variances issued shall require that
a notice be placed on the deed to the
property stating that the proposed
construction will be located in a flood
prone area; the number of feet that the
lowest floor of the proposed structure
will be below the base flood level, and
19
the actuarial flood insurance rates
increase as the lowest floor elevation
decreases.
(6) The Director of Planning, Building and
Zoning shall maintain the records of all
appeal actions and report any variances
to the Federal Emergency Management
Agency upon request.
D. Review and appeal. Review and appeal of any
such decision by the County Commission shall be by a
petition for certiorari to the Circuit Court for
relief.
E. Guidelines.
(1) When the Board of County Commissioners
shall consider the propriety of granting
a variance as permitted by this Article,
the following factors shall not be
considered:
(a) The physical disabilities or
handicaps and health of the appli-
cant or members of his or her
family.
(b) The domestic difficulties of the
applicant or members of his or her
family.
(c) The financial hardships of the
applicant or members of his or her
family and the financial difficulty
of the applicant in complying with
this Article.
(2) The following factors shall be relevant
in the granting of a variance:
(d) Physical characteristics of
construction.
20
(e) Whether it is possible to use the
property by a conforming method of
construction.
(f) The danger that materials may be
swept onto the other lands to the
injury of others;
(g) The danger of life and property due
to flooding or erosion damage;
(h) The susceptibility of the proposed
facility and its contents to flood
damage and the effect of such
damage on the individual owner;
(i) The importance of the services
provided by the proposed facility
to the community;
(j) The necessity to the facility of a
waterfront location, where applica-
ble;
(k) The availability of alternative
locations, not subject to flooding;
(1) The compatability of the proposed
use with existing and anticipated
development;
(m) The relationship of the proposed

23
Department and obtain the latest
information regarding flood elevations
and restrictions on development before
making plans for the use of this
property.
B. In all areas of special flood hazard where
base flood elevation data has been provided, as set
forth in section 6-179.B or section 6-193.L, the
following provisions are required:

the terms of Sec. 6-195.
26
(2) Non-residential construction
(a) New construction or substantial
improvement of any commercial,
industrial or other non-residential
structure shall either have the
lowest floor, including basement,
elevated at or above the base flood
elevation level or, together with
attendant utility and sanitary
facilities, be flood- proofed so
that all areas of the structure
below the base flood elevation is
water tight and with walls substan-
tially impermeable to the passage
of water and with structural
components having the capability of
resisting hydrostatic and hydro-
dynamic loads and effects of
buoyancy associated with the base
flood. Flood proofing design and
methods shall be consistent with
the provisions for building classi-
fications WI and W2 as described in
the U.S. Corps of Engineers manual

D. C. , June 1972).
(b) Where flood proofing is utilized, a
registered engineer or architect
shall certify that the flood
proofing methods are adequate to
withstand the flood depths, pres-
sures, velocities, impacts and
uplift forces and other factors
27
associated with the base flood.
Said certification shall be provid-
ed to the Director of the County
Planning, Building and Zoning
Department.
(c) Accessory structures at grade
elevation shall be permitted for

whichever is greater. Plans for
such structures shall be submitted
to the Director of Planning,
Building and Zoning for approval
prior to construction
(3) Mobile Homes
(a) Effective June 1, 1977, no mobile
home shall be placed within areas
of special flood hazards, except in
an existing mobile home park or
subdivision or on lots with exist-
ing mobile home variances.
(b) All mobile homes shall be anchored
to resist flotation, collapse or
lateral movement by providing
over-the-top and frame ties to
ground anchors. Specific require-
ments shall be that:
(1) over-the-top ties shall be
provided at each end of the
mobile home with one addition-
al tie per side at an interme-
28
diate location for mobile
homes less than fifty feet
(50') long and two (2) addi-
tional ties per side at
intermediate locations for
mobile homes of fifty feet
(50') or greater length;
(2) frame tie shall be provided
at each corner of the mobile
home with four (4) additional
ties per side at intermediate
locations for mobile homes
less than fifty feet (50')
long and five (5) additional
ties per side at intermediate
locations for mobile homes of
fifty feet (50') or greater

(3) all component of the anchoring
system must be capable of
carrying a force of 4,800
pounds, and;
(4) any additions to the mobile
home shall be similarly
anchored.
(c) The Building Department shall not
issue a building permit or certifi-
cate of occupancy for the placement
of a mobile home on a qualified lot
unless and until the owner of the
mobile home or lessee as the case
may be, shows the building
officials a recorded deed or
unrecorded lease wherein the mobile
home owner or lessee has the fact
disclosed to him in said deed or
29
lease that the mobile home is being
located in a flood prone area and
that an evacuation plan indicating
vehicular access and an escape
route is filed with the Disaster
Preparedness authorities,
(d) A mobile home that is to be placed
on a qualified lot may be granted a
variance from the elevation re-
quirements of this ordinance
provided that the lot on which it
is to be placed is presently
contiguous to and surrounded by
mobile homes which are not elevated
to the base flood elevation. In
such cases the Board of County
Commissioners may grant a variance
to allow said mobile home to be
placed at an elevation equal to
that of the surrounding mobile
homes. No other variances shall be
granted for mobile homes.
(e) An existing mobile home may be
replaced without elevation and
without need of a variance provided
the mobile home so replaced was at
a height below the required base
flood elevation.
(4) High Hazard Areas (V Zones) - Located in
the areas of special flood hazard
established in section 6-179:13 of this
Article, are areas designed as coastal
high hazard areas. These areas have
special flood hazards associated with
wave wash, therefore, the following
provisions shall apply:
30
(a) All buildings or structures shall
be elevated so that the lowest
supporting horizontal member
(excluding pilings or columns) is
located at or above the base flood
elevation level, with all space
below the lowest supporting member
open or constructed with breakaway
walls so as not to impede the flow
of floodwaters. Breakaway walls
may be permitted for aesthetic
purposes only and must be designed
to wash away in the event of
abnormal wave action and in
accordance with section
6-196(B)(4)(f) and (g) of this
Article;
(b) All buildings or structures shall
be securely anchored on pilings,
columns, or shear walls;
(c) Pilings or columns used as
structural support shall be
designed and anchored so as to
withstand all applied loads of the
base flood flow where shear wall
construction is used, the follow-
ing conditions shall also apply:
(1) shear walls shall be placed
parallel to the predominant
flow direction of floodwaters
and spaced to provide
adequate floodwater convey-
ance beneath the elevated
floor;
(2) shear walls shall be
31
constructed using reinforced
concrete, and;
(3) except for the placement of
the parallel load-bearing
walls, the space between the
shear walls below the elevat-
ed floor shall remain free of
obstruction or contain only
breakaway wall construction.
(d) Compliance with provisions
contained in section 6-196
(B) (4) (a), (b) and (c) shall be
certified to by a professional
engineer or architect;
(e) There shall be no fill used as
structural support;
(f) Walls and partitions other than
parallel shear walls shall be
allowed below the base flood
elevation provided they are not
part of the structural support of
the building and are designed so
as to breakaway, under the impact
of abnormally high tides or
wind-driven water, without damage
to the structural integrity of the
building on which they are to be
used and provided the following
design specifications are met:
(1) A design load limit of 10
- 20 pounds per square foot
shall be used as the maximum
load range at which breakaway
walls will collapse, and
32
(2) Venting of walls shall be
provided as described in
section 6-l96(B)(1)(d)(2) and
(3) .
(g) If the space below the elevated
floor is to be enclosed, such
enclosed space shall not be used
for human habitation;
(h) Prior to construction, plans for
any structure that will have
enclosed space below the elevated
flood shall be submitted to the
Director of Planning, Building and
Zoning for approval;
(i) Any alteration, repair,
reconstruction or improvement to a
structure shall not enclose the
space below the lowest floor except
as provided for in section
6-l96(B)(4)(f) and (g) of this
Article;
(j) All buildings shall comply with
provisions of Chapter 4, Article II
(SHORELINE PROTECTION) Section
4-16, et seq., Monroe County Code;
(k) No man-made alteration of sand
dunes and mangrove stands shall be
allowed which would increase
potential for flood damage; and
(1) Mobile homes shall be prohibited
except as provided for in section
6-l96(B)(3)(3) of this Article."

contrary notwithstanding, no basement shall be
constructed in the unincorporated area of Monroe County
33
until such time as a variance is granted to Monroe
County under the terms of 44 C.F.R. 60.6(b).
B. No enclosure below floor area shall be
constructed or equipped for such uses as a kitchen,
dining room, living room, family room, recreation room,
bedroom or bathroom. This prohibition does not apply
to new nonsubstantial improvements to structures whose
initial construction began prior to December 31, 1974,
structures for which a variance has been granted
pursuant to this Article, or those structures which are
listed on the National Register of Historic Places or
the Florida Inventory of Historic Places.
Section 3. If any section, subsection, sentence,
clause or provision of this Ordinance is held invalid, the
remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected by such
invalidity.
