ROGO/NROGO System
The Florida Keys are designated as an Area of Critical State Concern by the State Legislature where policies have been adopted to control growth based on the Florida Keys carrying capacity. The carrying capacity is the lowest time required to safely evacuate the Florida Keys in the event of a hurricane, which is based on a 24-hour evacuation model.
A Rate of Growth Ordinance (ROGO) was implemented in order to provide for the safety of residents in the event of a hurricane evacuation and to protect the significant natural resources of Monroe County, as required by the State of Florida.
Both ROGO (residential) and NROGO (nonresidential) are a competitive permit allocation system where those applications with the highest scores are awarded building permits. The competitive point system guides development toward areas with infrastructure and away from velocity zones and environmentally sensitive areas such as habitat for threatened or endangered species. ROGO and NROGO provide a measured amount of growth in the County commensurate with the County's ability to maintain a reasonable and safe hurricane evacuation clearance time and maintain a balance between residential and nonresidential development.
The Monroe County Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code (LDC) provide the details on the rate of growth ordinances. For more information, review Chapter 138 of the LDC.
