What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Florida's Department of Commerce is challenging Monroe County’s plan to award 657 new residential building permit allocations through July 2036. The state argues that the county's amendments to its Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code do not adequately reserve new allocations for affordable housing and fail to justify existing early evacuation units in coastal high-hazard zones.

The state's objection requires Monroe County planning staff to seek direction on revising the 10-year distribution schedule for the 657 allocations. This challenge directly impacts the county's land development codes and the requirements for new residential construction and affordable housing in the area.
