BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, as follows:
1. The Board of County Commissioners created the Monroe
County Comprehensive Plan Land Authority as a means of
implementing the goals, policies and objectives of the Monroe
County Comprehensive Plan.
2. It is necessary and appropriate that the activities of
the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Land Authority in the City
of Key West Area of Critical State Concern should be consistent
with the goals, policies and objectives of the comprehensive plan
of the City of Key West.
3. The Monroe County Comprehensive Plan provides for and
assumes the existence of a land acquisition authority empowered
to acquire land for the purpose of assembling improvidently
subdivided lands, reducing densities in high impact areas with
capital facilities deficits and to provide land for qualified
affordable housing.
3
4. The Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Land Authority was
created by the Board of County Commissioners for a variety of
purposes, but the primary purpose of the Board was to address the
problems identified in the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan with
platted lands, excess development rights in high impact areas
with capital facility deficits and affordable housing.
S. Chapter 86-170 Laws of Florida empowers the Board of
County Commissioners to create a land authority with a broad
range of powers and the Board of County Commissioners have
created an authority with a wide range of powers, however, the
Board deems it is necessary and proper to establish, within the
broad range of powers and opportunities authorized by Chapter
86-170 and Ordinance 031-1986, the following guidelines to be
used by the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Land Authority in
the preparation of the final plan of acquisition which is
required by Ordinance No. 031-1986:
a) Priority shall be given to the assembly and resale
of improvidently platted lands, the acquisition of
excess development rights in high impact areas with
capital facilities deficits and the provision of land
for affordable housing over all other authorized
acquisitions;
b) At least 80% of the annual revenues available to the
Monroe County Comprehensive Plan Land Authority shall
be used for land acquisitions that are a part of a
program of resale for private development or use for
affordable housing purposes, except where the governing
body of the Land Authority determines that there are
insufficient opportunities for priority resale or use
acquisitions;
c) The Land Authority and its land acquisitions are not
intended to supplant or duplicate existing acquisitions
programs for environmentally sensitive lands at the
local, regional, state or federal levels of government,
but are intended to support and supplement, where
consistent with the primary purpose of the Land
Authority's acquisition programs, such programs through
4
environmental restrictions imposed on reassembled lands
offered for resale or use and the reduction of
densities in high impact areas with capital facilities
deficits; and
d) The optimal land acquisition program would involve
the assembly of improvidently subdivided land, a
reduction in density, the preservation of natural
resources related to the acquired lands and the resale
of the development parts of the acquire land for
private development or the use of the developable land
for the development of affordable housing.
6. It is necessary and proper that the County of Monroe and
the City of Key West enter into a Memorandum of Agreement in
regard to the use of the one half of the tourist impact tax that
is collected in the City of Key West Area of Critical State
Concern that is to be disbursed to the Monroe County
Comprehensive Plan Land Authority and the Mayor is authorized to
execute the Memorandum of Agreement which is attached hereto as
