Islamorada, Village of Islands Comprehensive Plan 2026
The Islamorada Comprehensive Plan, titled 'Blueprint for Balance', serves as a detailed framework for guiding growth, development, and resource management within the Village. It focuses on ensuring a high-quality living environment, directing growth according to future land use categories, limiting development to maintain small-town character and hurricane evacuation times, implementing land use goals, enhancing coastal resilience against flood risks and sea-level rise, improving the aesthetics of the built environment, and repurposing public properties for community benefits. The plan aims to balance economic vitality, environmental protection, and quality of life through strategic policies on future land use, transportation, housing, coastal management, conservation, sustainability, community facilities, recreation, capital improvements, property rights, and intergovernmental coordination.
