WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners, during a regular meeting held on
May 16, 2001, conducted a review and consideration of the request by Laura and Associates,
Inc. to amend the zoning map from Suburban Commercial (SC) to Recreational Vehicle (RV)
for the properties described above and having the real estate numbers of 00572850.000000; and
WHEREAS, the Development Review Committee, Planning Commission and staff
support and recommend approval ofthis zoning use map amendment from SC to RV as indicated
in resolutions D12-0~ and P27-01; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, reviewed and considered the application during
a regular meeting held on April 25, 2001, and recommends approval ofthe request; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners makes the following Findings of
Fact:
1. Section 9.5-511 (d) (5) b. of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations allows the
Board of County Commissioners to consider adopting an ordinance to enact map changes
under six listed conditions.
2. This map amendment recognizes a need for additional detail or comprehensiveness in
planning (Section 9.5-511(d)(5)b(v) of the Monroe County Code). The application was
initiated by the applicant's agent in order to rezone the subject property to a land use district
that permits a Recreational Vehicle park of2.38 acres.
3. On March 28, 1969, a use variance was granted by the Monroe County Zoning Board to
allow campsites in a BU-2 zone on Lot 6.
4. The pre-1986 zoning of Lots 4 and 6 was BU-2, Medium Business District while Lot 5 was
zoned GU, General Use.
5. During the 1986 Comprehensive Plan process, the land use (zoning) district of the subject
properties was changed to Suburban Commercial (SC).

Initials
6. Section 9.5-206 of the Land Development Regulations states that the purpose of the
Suburban Commercial (SC) land use district is to establish areas for commercial uses
designed and intended primarily to serve the needs of the immediate planning area in which
they are located. This district should be established at locations convenient and accessible to
residential areas without use of U.S. 1.
7. Section 9.5-235(b)(6)a. states that a campground must be at least five acres in order to be
allowed as a conditional use in the Suburban Commercial (SC) land use district. The subject
property is 2.38, which makes the property a non-conforming use.
8. On November 30, 1995, the Planning Department approved fifteen (15) replacement trailer
stations and dock boxes on Lot #4 under permit #95-3-3099.
9. In an April 28, 1999 letter to the applicant, the Planning Department determined that there
are 38 transient spaces on the subject property.
10. Section 9.5-511 prohibits any map amendments that would negatively impact community
character.
11. Objective 101.8 of the Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan states that Monroe
County shall eliminate or reduce the frequency of uses that are inconsistent with the
applicable provisions of the Land Development regulations and the Future Land Use Map.
12. The Mixed Use/Commercial (MC) Future Land Use category corresponds with the
Recreational Vehicle (RV) land use district.
13. Section 9.5-215 states that the purpose of the Recreational Vehicle (RV) land use district is
to establish areas suitable for the development of destination resorts for recreational vehicles.
This district contemplates developments that provide on-site recreational, commercial and
resort facilities.
14. Section 9.5-244 indicates that the Recreational Vehicle (RV) land use district permits
recreational vehicle parks, regardless of size in acres. Therefore, it is most feasible land use
district for the subject property.
15. Objective 101.1 states that Monroe County shall ensure that at the time a development
permit is issued, adequate public facilities are available to serve the development at the
adopted level of service standards concurrent with the impacts of such development.
16. The 2000 Public Facilities Capacity Assessment Report and the listed programs on
stormwater and wastewater indicates that there are no significant concerns regarding impacts
on public facilities.
17. Goal 102 of the Monroe County Year 2010 Plan states that Monroe County shall direct
future growth to lands which are intrinsically most suitable for development and shall
encourage conservation and protection of environmentally sensitive lands.

18. The proposed map amendment supports Goal 102 as the habitat of the subject properties was
found to already be disturbed with pest plants on site, therefore no negative impacts on the
natural resources ofthe subject properties are anticipated.
19. The proposed map amendment supports Goal 102 as it proposes no additional density or
intensity on the site beyond what has been determined to be existing by staff. In addition, the
development potential associated with the Recreational Vehicle (RV) land use district is less
than that of the Suburban Commercial (SC) land use district; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners makes the following Conclusions of
Law:
1. This text amendment meets the requirements outlined in Section 9.5-511(d)(5)b(v) and
Section 9.5-215 of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations and will not
negatively impact or alter the community character of the subject property.
2. The proposed map amendment supports Objective 101.1 of the Monroe County Year 2010
Comprehensive Plan based on the findings of the 2000 Public Facilities Capacity Assessment
Report and the listed programs on stormwater and wastewater. There are no significant
concerns regarding impacts on public facilities.
3. The proposed map amendment is sufficiently consistent with Goal 102 of the Monroe
County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan. The site has been identified as scarified by the
County Biologist. There are no additional impacts on environmentally sensitive lands as a
result of the proposed map amendment.

Location Detail & Brief Description:
The subject property is located off of U.S.l at Mile Marker 112.5 near the Miami-Dade County line.
The property is accessible from Morris Avenue. The subject property is legally described Lots 4, 5, and
6, Monroe Park with the real estate number 000572850.000000.
Existing and Proposed Use:
The subject property is currently operating as a campground/recreational vehicle park with 38
approved transient spaces per an April 28, 1999 letter from the Acting Director of Planning. The
site contains four buildings including a two-story building with a 1,263 square foot bar/lounge on
the first floor and a 1,000 square foot duplex on the second floor. The three remaining buildings are
a 270 square foot bait store, a mobile home that had been used as an owner's residence, and a 400
square foot mobile home that had been converted to a bathhouse. The applicant is proposing to
renovate and relocate the existing RV spaces and upgrade other facilities on-site.
Existing Habitat:
Monroe Park is a platted subdivision that is serviced by public utilities. The area is primarily
scarified/disturbed. The parcels fall within the VE-14', VE-12', and AE-12' flood zones per FIRM
panel 0835G, effective date June 16, 1995.
Land Use and Habitat on the 1985 Existing Conditions Aerials:
The Monroe County 1985 aerial existing conditions maps, sheet 269, shows the area as disturbed
(740). There appear to be several large Casuarina/Australian Pines on the tracts, which are listed
pest plants.
Neighboring Land Uses and Character:
The Monroe Park subdivision has a mixture of uses. There are some single-family homes located in
the Improved Subdivision (IS) land use district located to the south of the subject property. Other
properties in the areas are the Manatee Bay marina and the former Barefoot Cay marina.
ZONING AND LAND USE HISTORY
Pre-1986 Zoning:
The pre-1986 zoning for Lots 4 and 6 was BU-2, Medium Business District, while Lot 5 was zoned
GU, General Use. The BU-2 district was intended to provide areas suitably situated for centers of
commercial activity, area retail sales, sale of fuels, mechanical services, wholesaling, warehousing
and storage. The GU district was an interim land classification pending action to rezone the
property to a residential, business or industrial classification.

Considerations During the 1986 Comprehensive Plan Process:
During the 1986 Comprehensive Plan process, the subject property was zoned Suburban
Commercial (SC). Unfortunately, the SC designation made the existing campground a non-
conforming use since campgrounds must be at least five (5) acres in the SC land use district.
Considerations During the 2010 Comprehensive Plan Process:
During the 2010 Comprehensive Plan process, the Future Land Use category Mixed Commercial
(MC) was applied to the subject property. This designation corresponded to the zoning designation
of Suburban Commercial (SC).
Map Changes or Boundary Considerations Since 1986:
There have been no map changes or boundary considerations since 1986.
ANALYSIS AND RATIONALE FOR CHANGE (Pursuant to Section 9.5-511 (d) (5) b):
Changed Projections or Assumptions: None.
Data Errors: None.
New Issues: None
Recognition of a Need for Additional Detail or Comprehensiveness:
On March 28, 1969, a use variance was granted by the Monroe County Zoning Board to allow
campsites in a BU-2 zone on Lot 6. In addition, on November 30, 1995, the Planning Department
approved fifteen (15) replacement trailer stations and dock boxes on Lot #4 under permit #95-3-
3099. According to a letter issued by the Director of Planning on April 28, 1999, aerial
photographs supplied by the owner at the time indicated that Lot 6 had been used as a RV park
continuously from 1980 to 1993. A site visit on April 15, 1999 found nineteen (19) RV sites on Lot
6. A row containing four (4) tent sites with full hookups was also found adjacent to the dock.
Fifteen (15) replacement trailer stations and dock boxes were permitted in November, 1995 on Lot
4. Aerial photographs documented this use along with uses of the other structures on the property.
The letter stated that the Planning Department had determined that Point Laura Marina had fifteen
(RV) spaces on Lot 4 and the previously discussed nineteen (19) RV spaces and four (4) tentlRV
spaces with full hook-ups that are considered transient rental units (spaces)on Lot 6. Therefore,
staff determined that the use of these 38 spaces could continue as a non-conforming use in the SC
land use district.
This proposed amendment recognizes the need to bring an existing Land Use District Map category
into conformity with its established existing land use by providing the appropriate land use
category. The zoning of this parcel as Suburban Commercial (SC) has made the park non-

conforming since 1986. Rezoning the subject property to Recreational Vehicle (RV) will allow the
applicant to redevelop the site.
The standards set forth in Policy 101.4.21 of the Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan stipulate that all
properties with the zoning classification Recreational Vehicle (RV) shall have the corresponding
Future Land Use Map (FLUM) category Mixed Use/Commercial (MC). Properties zoned SC also
have a FLUM category of Mixed Use/Commercial so a FLUM change is not necessary.
Data Updates: None.
IMP ACT AND POLICY ANALYSIS
Comparison of Development Potential for the Current and Proposed Land Uses:
1. Current Land Development Regulations (LDRs)
Section 9.5-206 states that the purpose of the Suburban Commercial (SC) land use district is to
establish areas for commercial uses designed and intended primarily to serve the needs of the
immediate planning area in which they are located. This district should be established at
locations convenient and accessible to residential areas without use of U.S. 1.
Allowable uses in the Suburban Commercial land use district pursuant to Section 9.5-235, pertinent
to the text amendment include:
Uses permitted as of right include:
· Commercial retail, low- and medium-intensity and office uses or any combination
thereof of less than twenty-five hundred (2,500) square feet of floor area
· Institutional residential uses, involving less than ten (10) dwelling units or rooms
· Commercial apartments involving less than six (6) dwelling units in conjunction with a
permitted commercial use
. Commercial recreational uses (limited)
. Institutional uses
. Public buildings and uses
. Accessory Uses
. Storage areas, provided that the area does not exceed twenty-five (25) percent of the
gross area of the parcel
. Vacation rental use of non-conforming detached and attached dwelling units (limited)
. Collocations on existing antenna-supporting structures
. Attached wireless communications facilities
. Replacement of existing antenna-supporting structures

Uses permitted as minor conditional uses include:
. Commercial retail, low- and medium-intensity and office uses or any combination thereof of
less than twenty-five hundred (2,500) but less than ten thousand (10,000) square feet of floor
area
· Commercial retail uses of high intensity ofless than twenty-five hundred (2,500) square feet of
floor area
· Institutional residential uses involving ten (10) to twenty (20) dwelling units or rooms
· Commercial apartments involving more than six (6) dwelling units in conjunction with a
permitted commercial use
· Hotels of fewer than twenty-five (25) rooms
. Campgrounds
. Light industrial uses
. Parks and community parks
. Stealth wireless communications facilities
. Satellite earth stations
Uses permitted as major conditional uses include:
· Commercial retail, low- and medium-intensity and office uses or any combination thereof
greater than ten thousand (10,000) square feet of floor area
· Commercial retail uses of high intensity of greater than twenty-five hundred (2,500) square feet
of floor area
. Institutional residential uses involving twenty (20) or more dwelling units or rooms
. Hotels providing twenty-five (25) or more rooms
. Marinas
. Mariculture
. Heliports or seaplane ports
. New antenna-supporting structures
The Future Land Use Category that corresponds to the Suburban Commercial land use district is
Mixed Use/Commercial. There is no change to the FLUM proposed with this application
2. Potential Land Uses With Proposed Map Amendment
Section 9.5-215 states that the purpose of the Recreational Vehicle (RV) district is to establish areas
suitable for the development of destination resorts for recreational vehicles. This district
contemplates developments that provide on-site recreational, commercial and resort facilities.
Allowable uses in the Recreational Vehicle land use district pursuant to Section 9.5-244, pertinent
to the text amendment include:
Point Laura
Land Use District Map Amendment

Uses permitted as of right include:
. Recreational vehicle spaces
· Commercial retail uses of less than twenty-five hundred (2,500) square feet of floor area
. Accessory Uses
Uses permitted as minor conditional uses include:
· Hotels providing less than fifty (50) rooms
. Parks and community parks
Uses permitted as major conditional uses include:
. Hotels providing fifty (50) or more rooms
. Marinas
. Stealth wireless communications facilities
The Future Land Use Category that corresponds with the Recreational Vehicle land use district is
Mixed Use/Commercial (MC). There is no change to the FLUM proposed with this application.
Compatibility With Adjacent Land Uses and Effects on Community Character:
The Monroe County Land Development Regulations address this issue with Section 9.5-511 of the
LDRs, which prohibits any amendments that would negatively impact community character.
The proposed map amendment will not result in a conflict with the character of the surrounding
community based on the following findings:
Density and Intensity
The density will not be affected by this map amendment. In the April 28, 1999 letter, the Planning
Department acknowledged that 38 transient spaces exist on the property. The maximum density
allowed on the property is 36 transient spaces in the RV land use district. In the SC land use
district, the maximum density would be 24 transient spaces. However, in either zoning district, the
property would be over the allowed density, which would prohibit any additional spaces. In
addition to this, the county also has a moratorium on new transient units so there is no possibility at
this time of the density being increased on the subject property beyond what the Planning
Department acknowledged in the April 28, 1999 letter.
The County Biologist has indicated that the property is considered scarified. The environmental
open space standards are more restrictive in this case and require a 0.20 ratio for any lands
identified as scarified regardless of the land use district. Therefore, this proposal has no adverse
effect upon intensity.
Point Laura

Use Compatibility
The rezoning of this property will allow the use of the site to be conforming. The applicant will
then be able to reconfigure the site to his needs. Historically, this area has been home to various
marinas and commercial uses. This zoning change will allow this type of use to continue.
Local Traffic and Parking
Roads are already in place to serve this subdivision. The preliminary site plan submitted by the
applicant shows that he can meet the parking standards of the Monroe County Code.
Effects on Natural Resources:
Goal 102 of the Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan states that Monroe County shall direct future
growth to lands which are intrinsically most suitable for development and shall encourage
conservation and protection of environmentally sensitive lands.
This site has been identified as scarified. There will no potential for additional encroachment onto
environmentally sensitive lands with this zoning change. In fact, the RV land use district has fewer
as-of-right and conditional uses than the SC land use district.
Effects on Public Facilities:
Objective 101.11 of the 2010 Plan requires the County to direct future growth away from
environmentally sensitive land and towards established development areas served by existing public
facilities. The proposed land use change supports Objective 101.1 based on the following findings
of the 2000 Public Facilities Capacity Assessment Report and the listed programs on stormwater
and wastewater:
Traffic Circulation
The preliminary site plan shows that the applicant reconfiguring the site to allow for cul-de-sacs at
the end of each finger pier containing the RV spaces. Circulation on the site will not be negatively
affected by this land use district change.
Solid Waste
The existing solid waste haul out contract will provide Monroe County with guaranteed capacity to
2006. The proposed land use change is not expected to have a significant effect on solid waste
generation or removal.
Potable Water
The Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority's existing consumptive use permit authorizes the withdrawal
of sufficient quantities to meet the demand anticipated for the remainder of 2001. The proposed
land use change is not anticipated to have a significant effect on potable water withdrawals.
Point Laura

Storm water
It is unlikely that a net increase in stormwater runoff could result from this land use change as
Section 9.5-293 of the Land Development Regulations requires that all developments retain
stormwater on site following Best Management Practices (BMP).
Also, pursuant to Policy 1001.1.1, all projects shall be designed so that the discharges will meet
Florida State Water Quality Standards Compliance review for these sections is determined by the
Environmental Resources Department and the Department of Health and occurs at the time a
development permit has been filed. In addition, Monroe County and the South Florida Water
Management District, acting in accordance with Governor Chiles' Executive Order No. 96-108,
have developed an agreement for the development of a Stormwater Management Master Plan.
In this regard, no negative effects from the proposal are anticipated.
Effects on RedevelopmentJInfill Potential:
The purpose of this rezoning is to improve the redevelopment potential of the subject property. The
current zoning for the property makes the existing use nonconforming.
Action by the Development Review Committee:
At the April 5, 2001 meeting of the Development Review Committee, staff unanimously
recommended approval to the Planning Commission of the zoning change from Suburban
Commercial (SC) to Recreational Vehicle (RV).
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Section 9.5-511 (d) (5) b. of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations allows the
Board of County Commissioners to consider adopting an ordinance to enact map changes under
six listed conditions.
2. This map amendment recognizes a need for additional detail or comprehensiveness in planning
(Section 9.5-511(d)(5)b(v) of the Monroe County Code). The application was initiated by the
applicant's agent in order to rezone the subject property to a land use district that permits a
Recreational Vehicle park of 2.38 acres.
3. On March 28, 1969, a use variance was granted by the Monroe County Zoning Board to allow
campsites in a BU-2 zone on Lot 6.
4. The pre-1986 zoning of Lots 4 and 6 was BU-2, Medium Business District while Lot 5 was
zoned GU, General Use.
5. During the 1986 Comprehensive Plan process, the land use (zoning) district of the subject
properties was changed to Suburban Commercial (SC).

6. Section 9.5-206 of the Land Development Regulations states that the purpose of the Suburban
Commercial (SC) land use district is to establish areas for commercial uses designed and
intended primarily to serve the needs of the immediate planning area in which they are located.
This district should be established at locations convenient and accessible to residential areas
without use of U.S. 1.
7. Section 9.5-235(b)(6)a. states that a campground must be at least five acres in order to be
allowed as a conditional use in the Suburban Commercial (SC) land use district. The subject
property is 2.38, which makes the property a non-conforming use.
8. On November 30, 1995, the Planning Department approved fifteen (15) replacement trailer
stations and dock boxes on Lot #4 under permit #95-3-3099.
9. In an April 28, 1999 letter to the applicant, the Planning Department determined that there are
38 transient spaces on the subject property.

County shall eliminate or reduce the frequency of uses that are inconsistent with the applicable
provisions of the Land Development regulations and the Future Land Use Map.
12. The Mixed Use/Commercial (MC) Future Land Use category corresponds with the
Recreational Vehicle (RV) land use district.

18. The proposed map amendment supports Goal 102 as the habitat of the subject properties was
found to already be disturbed with pest plants on site, therefore no negative impacts on the
natural resources of the subject properties are anticipated.
19. The proposed map amendment supports Goal 102 as it proposes no additional density or

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. This text amendment meets the requirements outlined in Section 9.5-511(d)(5)b(v) and Section
9.5-215 of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations and will not negatively impact
or alter the community character of the subject property.
2. The proposed map amendment supports Objective 101.1 of the Monroe County Year 2010
Comprehensive Plan based on the findings of the 2000 Public Facilities Capacity Assessment
Report and the listed programs on stormwater and wastewater. There are no significant
concerns regarding impacts on public facilities.
3. The proposed map amendment is sufficiently consistent with Goal 102 of the Monroe County

TOWNSHIP 60 SOUTH, RANGE 39 EAST, AT
APPROXIMATELY MILE MARKER 112.5.
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Planning Commission, during a regular meeting held on
April 25, 2001, conducted a review and consideration of the request filed by Laura and Associates,
Inc. to amend the zoning map from the Suburban Commercial (SC) zoning district to the
Recreational Vehicle (RV) zoning district for property on Morris Avenue and described as Lots 4,
5, and 6, Monroe Park, Cross Key, Section 4, Township 60 South, Range 39 East, Monroe County,
Florida, having the real estate identification number 00572850.000000; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission examined the following information:
1. The application from Laura and Associates, Inc. to change the Land Use District
(zoning) map from Suburban Commercial (SC) to Recreational Vehicle (RV); and
2. The staff report prepared by Martin Schultz, Senior Planner and Niko Reisinger,
Biologist, dated April 9, 2001; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following Findings of Fact:
1. Section 9.5-511 (d) (5) b. of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations allows the
Board of County Commissioners to consider adopting an ordinance to enact map changes under
six listed conditions.
2. This map amendment recognizes a need for additional detail or comprehensiveness in planning
(Section 9.5-511(d)(5)b(v) of the Monroe County Code). The application was initiated by the
applicant's agent in order to rezone the subject property to a land use district that permits a
Recreational Vehicle park of 2.38 acres.

3. On March 28, 1969, a use variance was granted by the Monroe County Zoning Board to allow
campsites in a BU-2 zone on Lot 6.
4. The pre-1986 zoning of Lots 4 and 6 was BU-2, Medium Business District while Lot 5 was
zoned GU, General Use.
5. During the 1986 Comprehensive Plan process, the land use (zoning) district of the subject
properties was changed to Suburban Commercial (SC).
6. Section 9.5-206 of the Land Development Regulations states that the purpose of the Suburban
Commercial (SC) land use district is to establish areas for commercial uses designed and
intended primarily to serve the needs of the immediate planning area in which they are located.
This district should be established at locations convenient and accessible to residential areas
without use of U.S. 1.
7. Section 9.5-235(b)(6)a. states that a campground must be at least five acres in order to be
allowed as a conditional use in the Suburban Commercial (SC) land use district. The subject
property is 2.38, which makes the property a non-conforming use.
8. On November 30, 1995, the Planning Department approved fifteen (15) replacement trailer
stations and dock boxes on Lot #4 under permit #95-3-3099.
9. In an April 28, 1999 letter to the applicant, the Planning Department determined that there are
38 transient spaces on the subject property.
10. Section 9.5-511 prohibits any map amendments that would negatively impact community
character.
11. Objective 101.8 of the Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan states that Monroe
County shall eliminate or reduce the frequency of uses that are inconsistent with the applicable
provisions of the Land Development regulations and the Future Land Use Map.
12. The Mixed Use/Commercial (MC) Future Land Use category corresponds with the
Recreational Vehicle (RV) land use district.
13. Section 9.5-215 states that the purpose of the Recreational Vehicle (RV) land use district is to
establish areas suitable for the development of destination resorts for recreational vehicles. This
district contemplates developments that provide on-site recreational, commercial and resort
facilities.
14. Section 9.5-244 indicates that the Recreational Vehicle (RV) land use district permits
recreational vehicle parks, regardless of size in acres. Therefore, it is most feasible land use
district for the subject property.

15. Objective 101.1 states that Monroe County shall ensure that at the time a development permit is
issued, adequate public facilities are available to serve the development at the adopted level of
service standards concurrent with the impacts of such development.
16. The 2000 Public Facilities Capacity Assessment Report and the listed programs on
stormwater and wastewater indicates that there are no significant concerns regarding impacts on
public facilities.
17. Goal 102 of the Monroe County Year 20 I 0 Plan states that Monroe County shall direct future
growth to lands which are intrinsically most suitable for development and shall encourage
conservation and protection of environmentally sensitive lands.
18. The proposed map amendment supports Goal 102 as the habitat of the subject properties was
found to already be disturbed with pest plants on site, therefore no negative impacts on the
natural resources of the subject properties are anticipated.
19. The proposed map amendment supports Goal 102 as it proposes no additional density or
intensity on the site beyond what has been determined to be existing by staff. In addition, the
development potential associated with the Recreational Vehicle (RV) land use district is less
than that of the Suburban Commercial (SC) land use district; and
WHEREAS, the Development Review Committee made the following Conclusions of Law:
1. This text amendment meets the requirements outlined in Section 9.5-511(d)(5)b(v) and Section
9.5-215 of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations and will not negatively impact
or alter the community character of the subject property and the surrounding area.
2. The proposed map amendment supports Objective 101.1 of the Monroe County Year 2010
Comprehensive Plan based on the findings of the 2000 Public Facilities Capacity Assessment
Report and the listed programs on stormwater and wastewater. There are no significant
concerns regarding impacts on public facilities.
3. The proposed map amendment is sufficiently consistent with Goal 102 of the Monroe County
Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan. The site has been identified as scarified by the County
Biologist. There are no additional impacts on environmentally sensitive lands as a result of the
proposed map amendment.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, to recommend APPROVAL to the Monroe Board of County
Commissioners of the request filed by Laura and Associates, Inc. to change the Land Use District
(Zoning) Map from Suburban Commercial (SC) to Recreational Vehicle (RV) for property on

South, Range 39 East, Monroe County, Florida, having the real estate identification number
