ORDINANCE NO. .JID. - 2006
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ADDING TO EXISTING
DEFINITIONS (Sec. 9.5-4); AMENDING MAXIMUM
RESIDENTIAL DENSITY AND DISTRICT OPEN SPACE (Sec. 9.5-
262) TO ALLOW FOR DENSITY BONUSES FOR AFFORDABLE
UNITS OF 750 SQ. FT. OR LESS; AMENDING REQUIRED
PARKING (Sec. 9.5-352); AMENDING AND/OR ADDING FOR

COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has considered the comments
of the public, recommendations of the Planning Commission, recommendations of staff
and the Workforce Housing Task Force and its counsel, and other matters, and;
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners makes the following Findings
of Fact:
1. The lack of sufficient affordable housing opportunities for the local
workforce creates serious risks to the local economy.
2. There is limited land area suitable for residential development remaining
in the County.
3. There is a current estimated unmet need of about 7,317 affordable units
the County.
4. Allowing a density bonus will allow for the creation of more affordable
housing under the Code, is a legitimate state interest and is proper to implement Goals
101 and 601 of the plan (e.g., Objective 101.4; Policy 101.4.5; Policy 601.1.12 and
Objectives 601.2 and 601.6).
5. These amendments to the land development regulations are appropriate in
that they recognize the need for additional detail and comprehensiveness in addressing
housing needs in Monroe County, based upon, among other factors, new issues, including
accelerated conversion of existing affordable housing stock, increased housing pressures
due to housing loss caused by Hurricane Wilma, and the changed projections and
assumptions regarding resulting demographic trends.
6. These amendments to the land development regulations specifically
further Fla. Stat. ~ 163.3202(3) by implementing innovative land development regulation
provisions such as transfer of development rights, incentive and inclusionary housing.
7. These amendments to the land development regulations are necessa,ry to
ensure that, despite the limited availability of developable lands, the County's existing
and future housing stock includes adequate affordable housing opportunities.
1
8. The proposed amendments to the Land Development Regulations are
consistent with and further goals, objectives and policies of the Year 2010
Comprehensive Plan.

STATE OF FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS
In re: MONROE COUNTY LAND .
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
ADOPTED BY MONROE COUNTY
20 0
ORDINANCE NO. 015-2006
FINAL ORDER —
o,
The Department of Community Affairs(the "Department") hereby issues its Final Order,
pursuant to § 380.05(6), Fla. Stat., and § 380.0552(9),Fla. Stat. (2005), rejecting 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 May 22, 2006, the Department received for review Monroe County Ordinance
No. 015-2006("Ord. 015-2006").
3. The final order for this Ordinance must be signed by July 20, 2006.
4. The purpose of the Ordinance is to amend the definitions section of the Monroe
County Land Development Regulations to add"dwelling, density bonus unit"and "dwelling,
half unit,"to the definitions, thereby allowing an award to a site if the units are 750 square feet in
size.
5. Ordinance 015-2006 is inconsistent with the 2010 Monroe County
Comprehensive Plan. Sections 9.5-4(D-31)(a) ("dwelling, density bonus unit"), 9.5-4(D-31)(b)
("dwelling,half unit"), and 9.5-262 are inconsistent with Comprehensive Plan Policy 101.4.21,
Future Land Use Densities and Intensities. That policy describes development in terms of
dwelling units per acre. The plan does not address half allocations or density bonuses for half
DCA Final Order No.: DCA06-OR-157
allocations. No basis has been established within the Comprehensive Plan for half of a dwelling
unit.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
6. 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. § 380.05(6),Fla. Stat., and § 380.0552(9),Fla. Stat. (2005).
7. Monroe County is a local government within the Florida Keys Area of Critical
State Concern. § 380.0552,Fla. Stat. (2005) and Rule 28-29.002 (superseding Chapter 27F-8),
Fla. Admin. Code.
8. "Land development regulations"include local zoning, subdivision, building, and
other regulations controlling the development of land. § 380.031(8),Fla. Stat. (2005). The
regulations adopted by Ord. 015-2006 are land development regulations.
9. 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 § 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.
10. Ord. 015-2006 is inconsistent with 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 of the area of
critical state concern designation.
(k) To provide adequate alternatives for the protection of public
safety and welfare in the event of a natural or manmade
disaster and for a post disaster reconstruction plan.
(1) To protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens
of the Florida Keys and maintain the Florida Keys as a unique
Florida resource.
11. Ord. 015-2006 is inconsistent with the Principles for Guiding Development as a
2
DCA Final Order No.: DCA06-OR-157
whole.
12. Ordinance 015-2006 is inconsistent with the 2010 Monroe County Comprehensive
Plan.
WHEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Ord. 015-2006 is found to be inconsistent with the
Principles for Guiding Development of the Florida Keys Area of Critical State Concern, and is
hereby REJECTED.
This Order becomes effective 21 days after publication in the Florida Administrative
Weekly unless a petition is filed as described below.
