A proposal to place 88 units of affordable housing on Lower Sugarloaf Key cleared a major hurdle Wednesday evening when the Monroe County Planning Commission unanimously approved a major conditional use permit for the project.
The Planning Commissionâs unanimous vote on Wednesday came after hours of testimony by a large group of Lower Sugarloaf Key residents opposing the project, called the Dockside & the Landings Apartments on South Point Drive. They called the project too dense and not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
The project would be pushing the maximum densities allowed, Sugarloaf Key resident Stuart Schaffer said. The residents said the project would dwarf the surrounding neighborhood in size and scale.
