ROGO – Rate of Growth Ordinance Update
Recently, Monroe County convened a workshop in Key Largo to discuss the future of ROGO. During this session, the county revealed new research findings indicating a significant revision in the number of buildable lots within the Florida Keys. Previously estimated at around 8,000, meticulous research and application of zoning laws now suggest there are approximately 3,000 viable building lots left in the Keys.
This fresh insight has stirred up quite the buzz among locals in the Keys, sparking heated debates about whether it’s wise to continue building there. With counties and cities on edge about potential lawsuits if building regulations change, everyone’s walking on eggshells. As stakeholders mull over their options, the Keys are treading carefully through the complexities of development and legal frameworks.
