pursuant to SS 380.05(6), Fla. Stat., and S 380.0552(9), Fla. Stat. (2004), approving a land
development regulation adopted by a local government within the Florida Keys Area of Critical
State Concern as set forth below.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Florida Keys Area is a statutorily designated area of critical state concern,
and Monroe County is a local government within the Florida Keys Area.
2. On July 18,2005, the Department received for review Monroe County Ordinance
No. 011-2005 which was adopted by the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners on
June 15,2005 ("Ord. 011-2005").
3. This Ordinance places a moratorium on applications for building permits and
applications for development approval for new development or redevelopment within the U.S. 1
Highway corridor between Tavernier Creek and Mile Marker 97 in order to provide the County
time to enact design standards and guidelines for review and approval of developments, as
required by Objective 105.1.2 ofthe Monroe County Master Plan. The moratorium shall be
effective until September 1, 2005 or upon the County's adoption of the design standards and
design guidelines.
Further, the Ordinance establishes an interim ordinance which defers the acceptance of
development applications seeking development approval for new development or redevelopment
DCA Final Order No.: DCA05-0R-143
until the adoption of the new design standards and design guidelines.
4. Ordinance 012-2005 is consistent with the 2010 Monroe County Comprehensive
Plan.
CONCLUSIONS OF LA W
5. The Department is required to approve or reject land development regulations that
are enacted, amended or rescinded by any local government in the Florida Keys Area of Critical
State Concern. S 380.05(6), Fla. Stat., and S 380.0552(9), Fla. Stat. (2004).
6. Monroe County is a local government within the Florida Keys Area of Critical
State Concern. S 380.0552, Fla. Stat. (2004) and Rule 28-29.002 (superseding Chapter 27F-8),
Fla. Admin. Code.
7. "Land development regulations" include local zoning, subdivision, building and
other regulations controlling the development ofland. S 380.031(8), Fla. Stat. (2004). The
regulations adopted by Ord. 011-2005 are land development regulations.
8. All land development regulations enacted, amended or rescinded within an area of
critical state concern must be consistent with the Principles for Guiding Development (the
"Principles") as set forth in S 380.0552(7), Fla. Stat. See Rathkamp v. Department of
Community Affairs, 21 F.A.L.R. 1902 (Dec. 4,1998), aff'd, 740 So. 2d 1209 (Fla. 3d DCA
1999). The Principles are construed as a whole and no specific provision is construed or applied
in isolation from the other provisions.
9. Ord. 011-2005 promotes and furthers the following Principles:
(a) To strengthen local government capabilities for managing land
use and development so that local government is able to
achieve these objectives without the continuation ofthe area of
critical state concern designation.
(f) To enhance natural scenic resources, promote the aesthetic benefits ofthe
natural environment, and ensure that development is compatible with the
unique historic character of the Florida Keys.
(g) To protect the historical heritage of the Florida Keys.
