Agenda Packet
The Land Acquisition Advisory Committee met on November 5, 2025. Key discussions included the Village Council's decision not to allocate $1M for land acquisition. Updates were provided on several Monroe County Land Authority acquisitions: Samurai-Owned Property (owner not interested due to low offer), MM 87.5 Property (owner asking $1M, likely exceeds appraised value, recommended to wait for additional allocations), Smith Property (owner not responding, in discussions with Planning Department regarding land use change), and Van Sant Property (owner interested but dealing with private business, plans to discuss next steps in the new year). Potential land swaps with Monroe County involving 11 Village properties were also discussed. Anchorage Builders expressed interest in selling property in Venetian Shores, but the owner is no longer interested and may consider a land use change. The committee reviewed the Horsepens property, discussing potential purchase and FTC funding, with a requirement for a recreational area. A significant discussion focused on expanding the State Less-than-fee Program to include the Florida Keys, with a proposal to acquire 500 lots for approximately $5.6 million. This proposal was supported by the committee and recommended for presentation to the Village Council on December 9, 2025, and subsequent submission to the State Land Acquisition Council (ARC). The committee also reviewed and revised a letter to property owners on the Florida Forever list. The next meeting was scheduled for February 4, 2026.

B. Monroe County Land Authority Acquisitions Update
The Village of Islamorada's Land Acquisition Advisory Committee is reviewing potential land acquisitions and land swaps. Several properties are under discussion, including the Samurai-Owned Property, the MM 87.5 Property, the Smith Property, and the Van Sant Property next to CVS. The Village is also exploring land swaps with Monroe County, with 11 Village properties potentially involved. This item is currently under review, with further discussions planned. The scope of work could eventually involve property appraisals, negotiations, and potentially land development or site preparation if acquisitions proceed. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in real estate, appraisal, engineering, and potentially construction trades should monitor this process. Early engagement before final decisions and permits are made could offer a competitive advantage.

2. Executive Summary
The Village of Islamorada is planning to expand its workforce and affordable housing options. This expansion will happen through policy changes, public land purchases, private building projects, and nonprofit efforts. Two key projects will add significant housing capacity. First, four parcels in V-zones are now allowed for multi-family, rental-only housing designed for early evacuation. Second, Southcliff Estates will be developed to include 12 existing homes plus rights for 16 more, for a total of 28 units. This item is currently under review by the Workforce / Affordable Housing Citizens Advisory Committee. The projects will likely involve site preparation, utility work, building construction, and final landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should reach out now to learn more about these planned developments, as opportunities for bidding and permits will arise as the review process moves forward.

4. V‑Zone Workforce Housing Overlay (2025 Amendment)
The Village of Islamorada is reviewing a proposed amendment to its V-Zone Workforce Housing Overlay. This amendment would allow for multi-family, rental-only housing units with early-evacuation provisions on three parcels on Windley Key and one parcel on Plantation Key. These parcels represent new development capacity in V-zones, which previously did not allow such housing. The proposal is currently under review by the Workforce/Affordable Housing Citizens Advisory Committee. If approved, this project could involve site preparation, utility work, construction of multi-family buildings, and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project scope and potential opportunities as plans develop.

5. Southcliff Estates – Development Capacity
The Village of Islamorada's Workforce / Affordable Housing Citizens Advisory Committee is reviewing the Southcliff Estates project. This project proposes to add 16 workforce rental units to the existing 12 workforce rental units, for a total build-out of 28 units. The site is located at MM 95.3, adjacent to the Gorman project. This development is planned to create a county-controlled workforce housing node and allow strategic deployment of housing allocations in the Upper Keys. The project is currently under review. Development would likely involve site preparation, utility work, construction of the apartment buildings, and final landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, real estate, and related fields should consider reaching out early to understand the project's scope and potential needs before final plans and permits are established.

7. Key Takeaways
The Village of Islamorada is reviewing a workforce and affordable housing strategy that includes the creation of new developable parcels for early-evacuation workforce housing. This strategy aims to strengthen the county's long-term housing plan by creating a pipeline of nearly 300 workforce rental housing units across multiple sites, with the MM 95 corridor identified as a key area for this development. The plan combines policy, public acquisition, and private development. This initiative is currently under review by the Workforce / Affordable Housing Citizens Advisory Committee. The project scope is expected to involve site preparation, utility work, construction of new housing units, and related infrastructure. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as general contracting, site work, concrete, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and landscaping may find opportunities as this plan moves forward. Engaging early, before formal bids and permits are issued, can provide a competitive advantage.
