In re: MONROE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS ADOPTED BY
MONROE COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 014-2002
The Department of Community Affairs (the "Department") hereby issues its Final Order,
pursuant to SS 380.05(6) and (11), Fla. Stat., and S 380.0552(9), Fla. Stat. (2001), 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 June 11,2002, the Department received for review Monroe County Ordinance No.
014-2002 which was adopted by the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners on May
15,2002 ( "Ord. 014-2002"). Ord. 014-2002 amends Section 9.5-247 of the Monroe County
Code to add a subsection that allows wastewater treatment facilities to be permitted in all
commercial fishing districts as a major conditional use, provides architectural and landscaping
design standards, and requires compliance with all federal, state, and local requirements.
3. Ord. 014-2002 is consistent with the County's 2010 Comprehensive Plan.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
4. 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enacted, amended or rescinded by any local government in the Florida Keys Area of Critical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. 99380.05(6) and (11), Fla. Stat., and 9 380.0552(9), Fla. Stat. (2001).
5. Monroe County is a local government within the Florida Keys Area of Critical State
Concern. 9380.0552, Fla. Stat. (2001) and Rule 28-29.002 (superseding Chapter 27F-8), Fla.
Admin. Code.
6. "Land development regulations" include local zoning, subdivision, building and other
regulations controlling the development ofland. 9380.031(8), Fla. Stat. (2001). The regulations
adopted by Ord. 014-2002 are land development regulations.
7. All land development regulations enacted, amended or rescinded within an area of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 9380.0552(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.
8. Ord. 014-2002 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 of the area of critical state concern designation.
( e) To limit the adverse impacts of development on the quality of water
throughout the Florida Keys.
(h) To protect the value, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and
amortized life of existing and proposed major public investments,
including:
2. Sewage collection and disposal facilities;
(1) To protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens ofthe Florida
Keys and maintain the Florida Keys as a unique Florida resource.
9. Ord. 014-2002 is not inconsistent with the remaining Principles. Ord. 014-2002 is
consistent with the Principles for Guiding Development as a whole.
WHEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Ord. 014-2002 is found to be consistent with the
Principles for Guiding Development of the Florida Keys Area of Critical State Concern, and is
hereby APPROVED.
This Order becomes effective 21 days after publication in the Florida Administrative
