Florida Keys Rogo and how it works:
Rate
of Growth Ordinance-Building
Permits - and the Tier system
Following more than three years of work the county is preparing to adopt
the much anticipated Tier Overlay System. This system has been designed
to both simplify and modify the current growth management tool known as
ROGO (Rate of Growth Ordinance). The Board of County Commissioners will
have a new map book product before them on March 15th 2006 at the Marathon
Government Center. A second hearing will be held on March 17th at the Harvey
Government Center in Key West, and a third in the Key Largo Library on March
21st.~ This map book displays the entire area of Monroe County which will
be subject to the Tier System. The proposal includes a total of four tiers:
Tier 0 = Submerged Land & Right of Way, Tier 1 = Conservation, Tier
2 = Transition (Big Pine Key Only), Tier 3 = Continued Development, Tier
3 (Special Protection Area) = Hammock Areas and Tier 4 military lands. This
new map book product is available for download and review.

Overlay District Maps as of Nov. 29, 2005
Over the past 4 years of Tier System development Monroe County Growth Management
has accepted applications for Tier designation review. If a citizen thought
that their property had been incorrectly placed in one Tier or another they
could apply for a review by the Division. The final review of the 300 plus
applications took place in late February of 2006 and 147 errors were identified.
The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners passed Resolution 148-2006
in early March of 2006 directing staff to correct these 147 errors at the
first opportunity. That first adoption of the Tier System into the Land
Development Regulations was appealed. This appeal rendered it impossible
to change Tier Designations for any parcel.
If you have any questions regarding the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan or the 147 proposed amendments to the Tier Overlay please contact Growth
Management at 305-289-2500.
