Commission approves Land Use District amendment for Key Largo parcels

Monroe County Planning Commission · July 22, 2026

Summary

The Planning Commission approved a Land Use District (LUD) amendment (file 202059) to set a consistent mixed-use zoning across multiple Key Largo parcels, a step planners said will slightly increase nonresidential potential while reducing some market-rate residential capacity.

The Monroe County Planning Commission approved an amendment to the Land Use District map (file 202059) to establish a consistent mixed-use zoning across several Key Largo parcels owned by Sam and Elena Stoya.

Planner staff explained the proposed LUD change covers about 7.2 acres and would convert varying current designations — suburban commercial, urban residential, and urban residential mobile home — to a single mixed-use district. Staff said the proposed mixed-use zoning slightly increases nonresidential development potential while reducing certain market-rate residential allocations. "The applicant is looking for one consistent zoning district across all of them," staff reported, and recommended approval.

Don Horton, representing the applicant, said he appreciated the pre-application coordination with staff. Commissioners moved to approve item 4 and, after no further discussion, the Chair announced the motion carried. The ordinance will be transmitted as required by county procedures (file number 202059).
