PUBLIC HEARING a
CONSENT [X]
TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PRESENTED BY:
SUBMITTED BY (DEPT): County Attorney Mark Godwin
SUBJECT: Request to advertise one (1) clerical position and (1) pretrial officer position
for the G.P.S./Pretrial Program. These positions have been funded in the (08/09) budget.
BACKGROUND: Please see attached memorandum and position descriptions.
FUNDS AVAIL: The funds have been budgeted in the account string: 107-2360-512000-
200.
PREVIOUS ACTION: In FY08/09 the Board funded the G.P.S./Pretrial Services Program
for additional staff. These positions were left unfilled until they were absolutely
required. Due to the additional case assignments to the program, the Pretrial Office
volume has increased. The Clerical Position will help with phones, down -loading
messages into the new data -base, ordering supplies, organizing volumes of paperwork,
running paperwork, making sure all money orders are collected, processed and
deposited. The Pretrial Officer position will be a tremendous help to the current staff
with job functions that will include monitoring, fieldwork and courtroom presentations.
The Pretrial Office now accepts cases not only in pretrial status but also those cases
that have been sentenced to house arrest with the program in lieu of incarceration.
Additionally, some defendants are now paying for supervision and $3,853.00 has been
collected. Furthermore, the program saved 50,802 bed days in 2008 with a potential
cost savings of $3,556,140.00 calculated at $70.00 per jail day. In 2008, the 3' quarter
inmate medical costs were $232,931.35 less than the previous years 3'd quart costs.
Risk Manager Teegardin attributed this reduction in costs to the GPS/Pretrial Program
monitoring sick inmates in lieu of them being incarcerated.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board approve the release and advertisement the two (2) funded
and budgeted positions for the Pretrial Release Program.

C.A. NO.: 09-0465
DATE: April 21, 2009
SUBJECT: Request to advertise one (1) clerical position and (1) pretrial
officer position for the G.P.S. /Pretrial Program.
BACKGROUND:
The G.P.S./Pretrial Release Program Staff check on the status of criminal
defendants and offenders in the community on a 24/7 daily basis.
In FY08/09 the Board funded the G.P.5./Pretrial Services Program for
additional staff. These positions were left unfilled until they were absolutely
required. Due to the additional case assignments to the program, the Pretrial
Ofgfice volume has increased. The Clerical Position will help with phones, down-
loading messages into the new data -base, ordering supplies, organizing volumes
of paperwork, running paperwork, makinq sure alp money orders are collected,
pprocessed and deposited. The Pretrial Officer position will be a tremendous
help to the current staff with job functions that will include monitoring,
fieldwork and courtroom presentations. The Pretrial Office now accepts cases
not only in pretrial status but also those cases that have been sentenced to
house arrest with the program in lieu of incarceration.
Additionally, some defendants are now paying for supervision and $3,853.00 in
court ordered fees have been collected. Furthermore, the pro ram saved
50,802 bed days in 2008 with a potential cost savings of $3,556,140.00
calculated at $70.00 per jail day. Since the program started in July 2007
through February 2009 we had over 800 defendants go through the Program.
Of those 800 defendants, a number of them had pregnancies, dialysis, cancer,
HIV and mental health issues. An additional benefit of the program is that
none of the defendants that came through the program "Failed to Appear"
since the program started, savingg additional bed days. In 2008, the 3 quarter
inmate medical costs were $ 232,931.35 less than the previous years, quarter
costs. Risk Manager Teegardin attributed this reduction in costs to the
GP5/Pretrial Program monitoring sick inmates in lieu of them being
incarcerated.
The funding for these positions would come from budgeted funds under the
Fine and Forfeiture / Criminal Justice/Pretrial Program
(107-2360-512000-200).
Recommendation / Conclusion:
Staff recommends the Board approve the advertisement of the two (2)
positions for the Pretrial Release Program.

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this day of

the implementation of an integrated and balanced transportation system and is authorized under Section 339.12, Florida
Statutes, to enter into this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and representations herein, the parties agree as
follows:
1.00 Purpose of Agreement: The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for the Department's participation in Walton
Road Widening from Village Green Dr. to Lennard Road and as further described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and by
this reference made a part hereof, hereinafter called the "project," and to provide Department financial assistance to the
Agency and state the terms and conditions upon which such assistance will be provided and the understandings as to the
manner in which the project will be undertaken and completed.
1.01 Attachments: Exhibit(s) A+13+1+L+T+RL are attached and made a part hereof.
2.01 General Requirements: The Agency shall complete the project as described in Exhibit "A" with all practical
dispatch, in a sound, economical, and efficient manner, and in accordance with the provisions herein, and all applicable
laws. The project will be performed in accordance with all applicable Department procedures, guidelines, manuals,
standards, and directives as described in the Department's Local Agency Program Manual, which by this reference is
made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. Time is of the essence as to each and every obligation under this
Agreement.
A full time employee of the Agency, qualified to ensure that the work being pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent
with the terms, conditions, and specifications of this Agreement shall be in charge of each project.
Removal of Any Unbilled Funds
If Agency fails to timely perform its obligations in submitting invoices and documents necessary for the close out of the
project, and said failure results in a loss of the remaining unbilled funding either by Federal withdrawal of funds or loss of
State appropriation authority (which may include both federal funds and state funds, if any state funds are on the project),
Agency will be responsible for the remaining unbilled funds on the project. No other funds will be provided by the
Department. Agency waives the right to contest such removal of funds by the Department, if said removal is directly
related to Federal (FHWA) withdrawal of funds or loss of State appropriation authority due to Local Agency's failure or
nonperformance. In addition to loss of funding, the Department will consider de -certification of said Agency for future LAP
projects.

SINGLE AUDIT ACT
Federal Resources Awarded to the Recipient Pursuant to This Agreement Consist of the Following:
Federal Agency: Federal Highway Administration
CFDA #: 20.205 Highway Planning and Construction
Amount: $ 3,574,360.00
Compliance Requirement:
Allowable Activities: To be eligible, most projects must be located on public roads that are not functionally classified as
local. The major exceptions are the Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program, which provides assistance
for bridges on and off the federal -aid highways, highway safety activities, bicycle and pedestrian projects, transportation
enhancement activities, the recreational trails program, and planning, research, development, and technology transfer.
Proposed projects meeting these and other planning, design, environmental, safety, etc., requirements can be approved
on the basis of state and local priorities within the limit of the funds apportioned or allocated to each state.
Allowable Costs: Eligible activities and allowable costs will be determined in accordance with Title 23 and Title 49
C.F.R. and the OMB cost principles applicable to the recipient/sub-recipient.
Eligibility: By law, the federal -aid highway program is a federally assisted state program that requires each state to have
a suitably equipped and organized transportation department. Therefore, most projects are administered by or through
State Departments of Transportation (State DOTS). Projects to be funded under the federal -aid highway program are
generally selected by state DOTs or Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), in cooperation with appropriate local
officials, as specified in 23 U.S.C. and implementing regulations. Territorial highway projects are funded in the same
manner as other federal -aid highway projects, with the territorial transportation agency functioning in a manner similar to a
state DOT. Most Florida Land Highway Program (FLHP) projects are administered by the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) Office of Federal Lands Highway and its Divisions or by the various Florida Land Management Agencies
(FLMAs). Under the FLHP, projects in the Indian Reservation Road (IRR) Program are selected by Tribal Governments
and are approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the FHWA. Due to recent legislation, Tribal Governments
meeting certain requirements may now administer various IRR projects on behalf of the BIA and FHWA. The Fish and
Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Park Service (NPS) select projects in the Refuge Road and Park Roads and
Parkways Programs, respectively. For the Forest Highway Program, the Forest Service, the States and the FHWA jointly
select projects.
Compliance Requirements Applicable to the Federal Resources Awarded Pursuant to This Agreement Are As
Follows: The recipient of Local Agency Program (LAP) funding must comply with the statutory requirements in Sections
112.061, 215.422, 339.12, and 339.135, Florida Statutes, and Title 23 and Title 49, C.F.R.

the case of construction contracts, the Agency shall be responsible for the payment of electricity and electrical charges
incurred in connection with the operation of the traffic signals and signal systems, and shall undertake the maintenance

programs.
DATE: April 21, 2009
Background:
January 27, 2009, the Board authorized submission of a request to Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) for the Designated Recipient classification of JARC and NF funds.
The Port St. Lucie Urbanized Area primarily consists of St. Lucie County and Martin
County. This designation request is a joint partnership with Martin and St. Lucie
Counties' Metropolitan/Transportation Planning Organizations and the respective
Boards of County Commissioners to apply for the JARC and NF Program funds.
March 6, 2009, a joint letter was submitted in conjunction with the Martin County
Board of County Commissioners to the Florida Department of Transportation to
become the Designated Recipients of FTA's JARC and NF grants for the Port St. Lucie
Urbanized Area.
St. Lucie County is a Designated Recipient of FTA Section 5307 funds, which provides
capital and operation funds for the public transit services in the St. Lucie County area
and is familiar with FTA program oversight requirements. Therefore, it is appropriate for
the County to be the Designated Recipient for JARC and NF program funds.
Recommendation:
Board permission to advertise a Request for Qualifications for transit providers for the
JARC and NF programs.

RE: Federal Transit Administration JARC/New Freedom Designation Request
RECEIVED
MAR 3 0 2009
MARTIN MPO
It is the request of both the Martin and St. Lucie Boards of County Commissioners to become designated recipients for
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Job Access and Reverse Commute and New Freedom Program funds. This
decision was made after consultation with Iocal public transit providers in the Port St. Lucie Urbanized Area (UZA). Both
Martin and St. Lucie Board of County Commissioners are designated recipients of Urbanized Area Formula Program
Funds, Section 5307 Funds, and also are the public agencies eligible to become the designated recipients for JARC and
New Freedom Program Funds.
Both agencies will be responsible for soliciting for local projects identified in their individual, adopted Coordinated Public
Transit -Human Services Transportation Plans and for monitoring sub -recipients consistent with FTA grant requirements.
On January 27, 2009, the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners approved a staff request to apply for FTA
designation and on March 17, 2009, the Martin County Board of County Commissioners approved a staff request for FTA
designation. It is our understanding that the Governor's office determines whether more than one entity within one
urbanized area can receive these funds. If the Governor designates both Martin and St. Lucie Board of County
Commissioners as recipients, for the Port St. Lucie UZA, the JARC and New Freedom funds are requested to be split
based on the 38/62 formula established by FDOT for the distribution of FTA Section 5307 funds.
Should you have any questions or require additional information regarding the above -referenced designation request,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Mark Satterlee, AICP, Growth Management Director�&_
FROM: Britton Wilson, Senior Long Range Planner 6 o
DATE: April 7, 2009
SUBJECT: Adoption of Comprehensive Plan Cycle 09-1, Cassens White City Grove
Background On March 3, 2009 the Board of County Commissioners granted a
continuance of the adoption hearing for the 09-1 Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Cycle, Cassens White City Grove, until April 21, 2009. A summary of the project is
provided in Attachment A. A continuance was necessary to properly review and comply
with the Department of Community Affair's (DCA) issued Objections, Recommendations,
and Comments (ORC) report.
The two objections made by DCA have been addressed as stated below:
1. Objection: The County has not demonstrated that it has an adequate supply of
water to meet current and future water supply needs, including water supply to
serve the proposed land use change, because the County has not adopted its
10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan as required by Section 163.3177
(6) (c), F. S.
Response: St. Lucie County adopted its 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work
Plan on December 2, 2008 thereby meeting the requirements of this objection.
2. Objection: The amendment package includes a new Figure 1-7m which
illustrates the subject property and contains the site specific development
limitations for the property. The language limits industrial uses to 310,800
square feet of gross building area, and allows Commercial (COM) uses ancillary
to Industrial (IND) uses. Although the data and analysis submitted in support of
this amendment evaluated public facilities impacts based on the industrial
development of the site, the public facility analysis did not include an assessment
of the commercial development that would be allowed on the site. The Mixed
Use Development (MXD) future land use designation allows up to 1.0 Floor Area
Ratio (FAR) for Commercial development in High Intensity Development areas.
The County has not adequately demonstrated the availability of public facilities
based on the maximum development potential of the property.
Memo: Comprehensive Plan Cycle 09-1
Page 1 of 3
The amendment package has not demonstrated that adequate water and
wastewater facilities exist to serve the property based upon the maximum
development potential. The amendment package contains a letter from Ft.
Pierce Utilities stating that the Utilities would serve the site, but the amendment
has not demonstrated that the Utilities have adequate potable water supply and
potable water and wastewater treatment capacities to serve the amendment
property. Additionally, though the amendment package contains a transportation
analysis, the transportation analysis is not based on the maximum development
potential of the property, because it does not include the commercial
development.
If the data and analysis determines that capital improvements will be needed in
the next five years to meet the County's water supply, then those capital
improvements must be included in a financially feasible five year schedule of
capital improvements. To be financially feasible, projects in the first three years
of the schedule of capital improvements must be funded by committed or
planned revenue sources.
Response: St. Lucie County adopted its 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work
Plan and no capital improvements are needed to meet the needs of this project.
The Fort Pierce Utilities Authority has confirmed in their letter that there currently
is sufficient water supply and water treatment capacity available and the
supporting infrastructure is already present on Midway and Selvitz Roads.
The Mixed Use Activity Area Language has been updated to conform to the
existing Comprehensive Plan MXD map series and to remove any ambiguity of
the allowable FAR by specifically identifying the intensity as medium. To resolve
the objection above, the ancillary COM designation has been removed, therefore
the IND designation, of which the analysis was based on, is the maximum
development potential of this site. Attached as an exhibit to this memo is Figure
1-7m with the updated language shown in strike through and underline format
that reads as follows:
"The Specific Use Area within this medium intensity Mixed Use Activity Area see
standards in Policy 1.1.7.4) is restricted in use to the equivalent of the AAA-aad
IND Land Use designation as described in the Future Land Use Element unless
otherwise amended through the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process. fPl9
use shall be limited to 319,99Q squaFe feet Gf qpes6 buildiRg aFea; 12GAA uses
The IND use shall be limited to a maximum
FAR of 0.18752.
Development of this site shall be approved through the Planned Non -Residential
Development process, and shall include appropriate open space and buffers
adjacent to residential uses and environmental conditions. Access to
development shall be provided from the west via Favorite Road."
Recommendation Staff recommends that the Board adopt Ordinance No. 09-006,
Cassens White City Grove, Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

REVISED STAFF ANALYSIS
Current Zoning:
The current zoning of this property, as well as most of the residential parcels to the east along
Selvitz Road, is AR-1 (Agricultural Residential — 1). Section 3.01.03.E provides the following
guidance for development in this zoning district:
The purpose of this district is to provide and protect an environment suitable for single-
family dwellings at a maximum density of one (1) dwelling unit per gross acre, together
with such other uses as may be necessary for and compatible with very low density rural
residential surroundings. Vao
Under its current zoning the property could be divided into 1-acre lots for up to 38 single-family
residences, though the ultimate lot yield would be lower as some acreage would be used for
streets to access these lots. Given the RS Future Land Use that provides for a development
potential of up to two dwelling units per acre, the applicant could also propose to rezone the
property to RE-2 (Residential, Estate — 2), RS-2 (Residential, Single Family — 2) or PUD
(Planned Unit Development) and develop up to 76 single family units.
Should the requested Future Land Use designation of medium intensity MXD Specific Use Area
be granted, at the time of development the property would be required to rezone to the PNRD
(Planned Non -Residential Development) zoning district. Future Land Uses and intensities would
be limited by the Sub -Area policy language.
The subject property is situated in an area commonly known as "Midway Industrial Park" and all
of the property to the west towards and past 1-95 is zoned for Industrial Heavy (IH). All of the
property to the north is zoned for Industrial Heavy or Industrial Light and is partly contained in
the municipal boundary of the City of Fort Pierce and partly in unincorporated St. Lucie County.
Current Future Land Use:
The Future Land Use of the property is currently Residential Suburban (RS), which "is intended
to act as a transitional area between the agricultural areas and the more intense residential
areas in the eastern portion of the County... The RS designation is intended for large lot, single-
family detached residential dwellings, at a density of one to two units per gross acre."
Given that the subject property is located in an area generally known as "Midway Industrial
Park" and industrial and institutional uses exist or will be developed on the north, south and
west side of the subject property, it is staffs assessment that the proposed IND designation
within the MXD Future Land Use designation is suitable for the subject property.
The proposed medium intensity MXD Future Land Use will allow development listed in the
concurrent Sub -Area policy text amendments proposed by the applicant. To be clear that only
industrial development will be permitted on the site and will be of an intensity less than the 0.25
FAR designated by medium MXD (a build out of 414,365 square feet for the subject property),
staff has revised the applicant's proposed sub -area policy language to read as follows:
• The Specific Use Area within this medium intensity Mixed Use Activity Area
(see standards in Policy 1.1.7.4) is restricted in use to the equivalent of the IND
Land Use designation as described in the Future Land Use Element unless
otherwise amended through the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process.
The IND use shall be limited to a maximum FAR of 0.18752.
Development on this site shall be approved through the Planned Non -
Residential Development process, and shall include appropriate open space
and buffers adjacent to residential uses and environmental conditions. Access
to development shall be provided from the west via Favorite Road.
Staff Report:
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Cycle 09-1
Page 2 of 5
April 21, 2009
Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan:
1104" The analysis staff conducted indicates that a MXD land use in this area is consistent with the St.
Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. In staffs assessment, the area of this parcel meets the
criteria outlined in the following Comprehensive Plan language:
The intent of the Mixed Use Development (MXD) designation is to identify those areas
where innovative land use concepts are encouraged. Application of this district should
be with prudence, and should be only to those areas where traditional land use
classifications do not afford the desired flexibility and community input in land use
planning necessary to address local concerns. Candidates for this district include all 1-95
interchange areas, the St. Lucie County International Airport, Community Development
Districts created pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes and areas of special or
unique environmental consideration that may not be appropriate for traditional land use
designations.
The PNRD process would not be required if the property were to have a traditional Industrial
Future Land Use designation. The proposed MXD Future Land Use Designation with Specific
Use Area language limiting it to IND is considered a beneficial land use as it requires the
applicant to pursue the PNRD process upon development and include a minimum 35% open
space. The PNRD process will also afford the desired flexibility in providing for proper buffering
of the unique environmentally sensitive lands to the south and the residential homes to the east.
Most importantly, the PNRD process will allow a greater opportunity for input from the
surrounding neighborhoods and community for addressing their needs at the time of site plan
approval.
%41' The Floor Area Ratio or FAR for medium -intensity IND within the MXD Land Use designation is
identified by the Comprehensive Plan as allowing up to a 0.25 FAR, which for the subject
property would result in 414,365 square feet of permitted building area. The Specific Use Area
language further limits the subject property to a FAR of 0.18752 resulting in a maximum of
310,800 square feet of permitted building area. This reduction of over 100,000 square feet in
permitted building area is more than consistent with the Comprehensive Plan resulting in a less
intense use, which will further provide for greater compatibility to the residential uses to the east
and the environmentally sensitive areas to the south.
Compliance with State Statutes and the State Comprehensive Plan:
Staff has reviewed the proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment against the standards
provided in Rule 9J-5.006(5), Review of Plans and Plan Amendments for Discouraging the
Proliferation of Urban Sprawl, of the Florida Administrative Code.
The County currently has over 1,500 acres of undeveloped industrial land within the Urban
Service Area. It could be argued that "projected growth trends over the planning period" (9J-
5.006(5)(i)6) do not warrant additional industrial land in St. Lucie County at this time, however,
addition of acreage in this area will result in a small increase in the amount of undeveloped
acreage. In staffs analysis, other aspects of the evaluation of land uses (9J-5.006(5)(h)),
including the location, functional relationship and existing pattern of development in this
particular area of the County, help support the proposed amendment.
�" Staff Report:
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Cycle 09-1
Page 3 of 5
April 21, 2009
Staff finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with the relevant provisions of the state
and regional plans, rules and statutes and does not trigger any primary indicators for the
proliferation of urban sprawl.
Compatibility with Existing Neighborhood:
The subject property is located in an area generally known as "Midway Industrial Park." Much
of the surrounding area is either Heavy or Light Industrial. As such, an MXD Future Land Use
restricted to IND would be considered compatible with the particular zoning of those neighboring
parcels. With buffering appropriate to the specific intensity of proposed uses, a MXD Future
Land Use restricted to IND could also be compatible with the existing low -density residential
condition to the east and environmentally sensitive lands to the south. Sub -area policy
language proposed with the MXD land use designation requires that a future site plan occur as
a PNRD, providing a more stringent review process with greater public participation where the
appropriate buffering conditions will be identified and required.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas:
According to the applicant, the site has been in active citrus production for decades and there is
no indication of environmentally sensitive areas on site. At the time of development, appropriate
buffering will be required along the southern edge of the property adjacent to the
environmentally sensitive areas to the south.
Natural Hazards:
No natural hazards exist intrinsic to this site. The subject parcel is located in Zone X, outside the
500-year flood plain (FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map Number 12111 C0188 F). 4
Historical Archeological Sites:
No significant historical or archeological sites are known to exist on site. The two closest
historical sites are concrete block homes approximately one mile away. Both were constructed
in the mid-1950s and do not appear to be eligible for the local or national register.
Transportation Impacts:
In staffs review of the traffic analysis, the proposed land use change would result in an increase
of an estimated 244 vehicle trips and 71 p.m. peak hour trips based upon anticipated site
development trip generation. These additional trips will be assigned to Midway Road between
Selvitz Road and the Florida Turnpike as a direct connection primary facility and to Midway
Road between 25th Street and US1 as a secondary distribution facility. Both segments of
Midway Road are operating at a current LOS "F" condition.
The traffic generated from any future development on the site will have to provide mitigation as
part of the development process. Midway Road from Selvitz to the Turnpike has partial funding
identified within the County's 5-year Capital Improvement Program for widening from a 2-lane to
a 4-lane facility. It does not appear that the identified funding will be sufficient to complete the
full reconstruction project, and no construction funding is identified for the portion of Midway
Road east of South 25th Street.
Staff Report: 14
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Cycle 09-1
Page 4 of 5
April 21, 2009
Regardless of the status of funding or construction at the time of site plan or rezoning
application, the applicant will be required to enter into a Proportionate Fair Share Agreement
with the County as a means of mitigating traffic impacts for any development of the site. The
applicant has submitted a Concurrency Deferral Affidavit to defer the certificate of capacity until
the time of proposed development.
Parks and Recreation:
As the proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment limits future development to non-residential
uses, there is no anticipated impact to parks and recreational facilities.
Development Requirements:
Development is proposed as a Planned Non -Residential Development, all site plan applications
shall comply with the St. Lucie County Land Development Code and Comprehensive Plan in
order to receive final site plan approval. This will require adequate buffering between any
proposed uses on the property and residential uses to the east and environmentally -sensitive
lands to the south. Design of appropriate buffers should be based on the intensity of the
industrial use as well as the proximity to existing residential buildings or conditions.
Staff Comments:
The analysis staff conducted indicates that the MXD Specific Use Area is a beneficial land use.
It is compatible with the surrounding area and will require the applicant to pursue the PNRD
process upon development, which requires greater public input and a minimum of 35% open
space. Staff finds that the proposed amendment is consistent with County's Comprehensive
Plan, the relevant provisions of the state and regional plans, rules and statutes and does not
trigger any primary indicators for the proliferation of urban sprawl.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff supports amending the Future Land Use designation of the subject parcel to that of the
proposed medium -intensity MXD (Mixed Use Development) to include the Specific Use Area
designation with associated Sub -Area policy language.

7.02.00PLANNED NON-RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
7.02.01 PURPOSE
The Planned Non -Residential Development (PNRD) District is intended to achieve non-residential land
development of superior quality through the encouragement of flexibility and creativity in design options
that:
A. Permit creative approaches to the development of non-residential land reflecting changes in the
technology of land development;
B. Allow for the efficient use of land, which can result in smaller networks of utilities and streets and
thereby lower development costs;
C. Allow design options that encourage an environment of stable character, compatible with
surrounding land uses; and
D. Permit the enhancement of neighborhoods through the preservation of natural features, the
provision of underground utilities, and the provision of recreation areas and open space.
7.02.02PERMITTED USES

Exisitnq Future Land Use Definition
D. RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN (RS)
The Residential Suburban (RS) land use category is intended to act as a transitional area between
the agricultural areas and the more intense residential areas in the eastern portion of the County. This
category is found predominantly along the western edge of the urban form, but is also appropriate for
areas of special environmental concern such as along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River and the
Indian River Lagoon,
The RS designation is intended for large lot, single-family detached residential dwellings, at a density
of one to two units per gross acre. These areas are not required to be served with central utilities,
however when at all practical, service connections should be required.
Proposed Future Land Use Definition
H. MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT (MXD)
The intent of the Mixed Use Development (MXD) designation is to identify those areas where
innovative land use concepts are encouraged. Application of this district should be with prudence, and
should be only to those areas where traditional land use classifications do not afford the desired
flexibility and community input in land use planning necessary to address local concerns. Candidates
for this district include all 1-95 interchange areas, the St. Lucie County International Airport,
Community Development Districts created pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes and areas of
special or unique environmental consideration that may not be appropriate for traditional land use
designations.
Uses within the areas classified as Mixed Use should be segregated as to intensity and indicated in
the form of a concept master plan which is to be included as a part of the land use designation
process. The following criteria, in addition to those as cited in Objective 1.1.7, are to be used in the
development of Mixed Use areas:
• Unless otherwise compliant with the identified intensity classification, any change in zoning
shall be to the Planned Unit Development (PUD), Planned Non-residential Development
(PNRD) or Mixed Use Development (MXD), as described in the St. Lucie County Land
Development Regulations. Those properties with compatible existing zoning designations are
encouraged to develop under the PUD, PNRD or MXD regulations.
• Residential development shall be regulated by the intensity district in which it is to take place.
In no case should gross residential density exceed 15 du/ac.
• All uses shall be compatible with internal and external adjacent land uses.
MXD Policy Language
Policy 1.1.7.4 The following use intensity definitions shall be used for the purpose of this plan
for the Mixed Use activity areas:
High Intensity development areas may include the following types of land uses;
%N, Residential • 5 to 15 du/acres
Institutional • 1.5 FAR *
Professional Service/Office • 1.5 FAR
General Commercial • 1.0 FAR *
Public Service/Utility • .5 FAR
Industrial • .5 FAR*
* FAR = Floor Area Ratio
Medium Intensity development areas may include the following types of land uses;
Residential • 5 to 9 du/acres
Institutional • 1.0 FAR *
Professional Service/Office • 1.0 FAR *
General Commercial • .75 FAR *
Public Service/Utility • .25 FAR *
Industrial • .25 FAR *
* FAR = Floor Area Ratio
3. Low Intensity development areas may include the following types of uses;
Residential • not to exceed 5 du/acres
Institutional • .5 FAR *
Professional Service/Office • .5 FAR*
General Commercial • .5 FAR *
*%W Public Service/Utility • .25 FAR
* FAR = Floor Area Ratio
4. Specific Use Areas:
Areas with special or unique local character may be included within the Mixed Use Designation.
These areas, because of conditions unique or peculiar to them alone, have been limited to specific
activities and zoning options as set forth in the activity area plans described in Policy 1.1.7.4. Any
zoning application not consistent with this policy must be accompanied by a corresponding
Comprehensive Plan Amendment indicating the change in intensity classification.
Application of the Specific Use Area designation is to be made to those areas recognized by the
County as suitable for alternative land use as the full spectrum of community services become
available. This designation would serve to prevent the unplanned or premature development of such
areas until all services were provided for and are consistent with the Future Land Use development
philosophy of St. Lucie County.
The terminology used in the Specific Use designation identifies the type of permitted activity,
maximum zoning density or maximum zoning intensity. Each Mixed Use Activity area will identify the
type of Special Use areas in the legends of each area.
Relevant excerpts from Rule 9J-5.006, Florida Administrative Code
9J-5.006 Future Land Use Element.
The purpose of the future land use element is the designation of future land use patterns as reflected
in the goals, objectives and policies of the local government comprehensive plan elements. Future
land use patterns are depicted on the future land use map or map series within the element.
(1) Existing Land Use Data Requirements. The element shall be based upon the following data
requirements pursuant to subsection 9J-5.005(2), F.A.C.
(2) Land Use Analysis Requirements. The element shall be based upon the following analyses which
support the comprehensive plan pursuant to subsection 9J-5.005(2), F.A.C.
(3) Requirements for Future Land Use Goals, Objectives and Policies.
(4) Future Land Use Map.
(5) Review of Plans and Plan Amendments for Discouraging the Proliferation of Urban Sprawl.
(a) Purpose. The purpose of this subsection is to give guidance to local governments and other
interested parties about how to make sure that plans and plan amendments are consistent with
relevant provisions of the state comprehensive plan, regional policy plans, Chapter 163, Part II, F.S.,
and the remainder of this chapter regarding discouraging urban sprawl, including provisions
concerning the efficiency of land use, the efficient provision of public facilities and services, the
separation of urban and rural land uses, and the protection of agriculture and natural resources.
(b) Determination. The determination of whether a plan or plan amendment discourages the
proliferation of urban sprawl shall be based upon the standards contained in this subsection.
(c) In general. The discouragement of urban sprawl accomplishes many related planning objectives.
The purpose of this subsection is to provide a general methodology for examining whether or not a
plan or plan amendment discourages the proliferation of urban sprawl. This subsection is organized
into twelve paragraphs, paragraphs (5)(a) through (5)(1). Nothing in this paragraph (5) shall be
interpreted to require that a local government submit information beyond the information required by
other provisions of this chapter.
(d) Use of indicators. Paragraph (5)(g) describes those aspects or attributes of a plan or plan
amendment which, when present, indicate that the plan or plan amendment may fail to discourage
urban sprawl. For purposes of reviewing the plan for discouragement of urban sprawl, an evaluation
shall be made whether any of these indicators is present in a plan or plan amendment. If an indicator
is present, the extent, amount or frequency of that indicator shall be considered. The presence and
potential effects of multiple indicators shall be considered to determine whether they collectively
reflect a failure to discourage urban sprawl.
(e) Methodology for determining indicators. Paragraphs (5)(h) through (5)(j) describe the three major
components of a methodology to determine the presence of urban sprawl indicators. Paragraph (5)(h)
describes how land use aspects of a plan shall be analyzed. The land use element, including both the
future land use map and associated objectives and policies, represents the focal point of the local
government's planning effort. Paragraph (5)(i) describes the unique features and characteristics of
I%W each jurisdiction which provide the context of the analysis and which are needed to evaluate the
extent, amount or frequency of an indicator and the significance of an indicator for a specific
jurisdiction. Paragraph (5)(j) recognizes that land use plans generally may be significantly affected by
other development policies in a plan which may serve to mitigate the presence of urban sprawl
indicators based on the land use plan alone. Paragraph (5)(j) describes development controls which
may be used by a local government to mitigate the presence of sprawl.
(f) Analysis components. subsection (5)(k) describes how the analysis components described in
subsections (5)(h) through (5)(j) are combined in a systematic way to determine the presence of
urban sprawl indicators.
(g) Primary indicators. The primary indicators that a plan or plan amendment does not discourage the
proliferation of urban sprawl are listed below. The evaluation of the presence of these indicators shall
consist of an analysis of the plan or plan amendment within the context of features and characteristics
unique to each locality in order to determine whether the plan or plan amendment:
1. Promotes, allows or designates for development substantial areas of the jurisdiction to
develop as low -intensity, low -density, or single -use development or uses in excess of
demonstrated need.
2. Promotes, allows or designates significant amounts of urban development to occur in rural
areas at substantial distances from existing urban areas while leaping over undeveloped lands
which are available and suitable for development.
3. Promotes, allows or designates urban development in radial, strip, isolated or ribbon
patterns generally emanating from existing urban developments.
4. As a result of premature or poorly planned conversion of rural land to other uses, fails
adequately to protect and conserve natural resources, such as wetlands, floodplains, native
vegetation, environmentally sensitive areas, natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas,
lakes, rivers, shorelines, beaches, bays, estuarine systems, and other significant natural
systems.
5. Fails adequately to protect adjacent agricultural areas and activities, including silviculture,
and including active agricultural and silvicultural activities as well as passive agricultural
activities and dormant, unique and prime farmlands and soils.
6. Fails to maximize use of existing public facilities and services.
7. Fails to maximize use of future public facilities and services.
8. Allows for land use patterns or timing which disproportionately increase the cost in time,
money and energy, of providing and maintaining facilities and services, including roads,
potable water, sanitary sewer, stormwater management, law enforcement, education, health
care, fire and emergency response, and general government.
9. Fails to provide a clear separation between rural and urban uses.
10. Discourages or inhibits infill development or the redevelopment of existing neighborhoods
and communities.
11. Fails to encourage an attractive and functional mix of uses.
12. Results in poor accessibility among linked or related land uses.
13. Results in the loss of significant amounts of functional open space.
(h) Evaluation of land uses. The comprehensive plan must be reviewed in its entirety to make the
determinations in (5)(g) above. Plan amendments must be reviewed individually and for their impact
on the remainder of the plan. However, in either case, a land use analysis will be the focus of the
review and constitute the primary factor for making the determinations. Land use types cumulatively
(within the entire jurisdiction and areas less than the entire jurisdiction, and in proximate areas outside
the jurisdiction) will be evaluated based on density, intensity, distribution and functional relationship,
including an analysis of the distribution of urban and rural land uses. Each land use type will be
`, evaluated based on:
1. Extent.
2. Location.
3. Distribution.
4. Density.
5. Intensity.
6. Compatibility.
7. Suitability.
8. Functional relationship.
9. Land use combinations.
10. Demonstrated need over the planning period.
(i) Local conditions. Each of the land use factors in (5)(h) above will be evaluated within the context of
features and characteristics unique to each locality. These include:
1. Size of developable area.
2. Projected growth rate (including population, commerce, industry, and agriculture).
3. Projected growth amounts (acres per land use category).
4. Facility availability (existing and committed).
5. Existing pattern of development (built and vested), including an analysis of the extent to
which the existing pattern of development reflects urban sprawl.
6. Projected growth trends over the planning period, including the change in the overall density
or intensity of urban development throughout the jurisdiction.
7. Costs of facilities and services, such as per capita cost over the planning period in terms of
resources and energy.
8. Extra -jurisdictional and regional growth characteristics.
9. Transportation networks and use characteristics (existing and committed).
10. Geography, topography and various natural features of the jurisdiction.
0) Development controls. Development controls in the comprehensive plan may affect the
determinations in (5)(g) above. The following development controls, to the extent they are included in
the comprehensive plan, will be evaluated to determine how they discourage urban sprawl:
1. Open space requirements.
2. Development clustering requirements.
3. Other planning strategies, including the establishment of minimum development density and
intensity, affecting the pattern and character of development.
4. Phasing of urban land use types, densities, intensities, extent, locations, and distribution
over time, as measured through the permitted changes in land use within each urban land use
category in the plan, and the timing and location of those changes.
5. Land use locational criteria related to the existing development pattern, natural resources
and facilities and services.
6. Infrastructure extension controls, and infrastructure maximization requirements and
incentives.
7. Allocation of the costs of future development based on the benefits received.
8. The extent to which new development pays for itself.
9. Transfer of development rights.
10. Purchase of development rights.
11. Planned unit development requirements.
12. Traditional neighborhood developments.
13. Land use functional relationship linkages and mixed land uses.
14. Jobs -to -housing balance requirements.
15. Policies specifying the circumstances under which future amendments could designate
new lands for the urbanizing area.
16. Provision for new towns, rural villages or rural activity centers.
17. Effective functional buffering requirements.
18. Restriction on expansion of urban areas.
19. Planning strategies and incentives which promote the continuation of productive
agricultural areas and the protection of environmentally sensitive lands.
20. Urban service areas.
21. Urban growth boundaries.
22. Access management controls.
(k) Evaluation of factors. Each of the land use types and land use combinations analyzed in
paragraph (5)(h) above will be evaluated within the context of the features and characteristics of the
locality, individually and together (as appropriate), as listed in paragraph (5)(i). If a local government
has in place a comprehensive plan found in compliance, the Department shall not find a plan
amendment to be not in compliance on the issue of discouraging urban sprawl solely because of
preexisting indicators if the amendment does not exacerbate existing indicators of urban sprawl within
the jurisdiction.
(1) Innovative and flexible planning and development strategies. Notwithstanding and as a means of
addressing any provisions contained in subparagraphs 9J-5.006(3)(b)8., 9J-5.011(2)(b)3. and
subsection 9J-5.003(140), F.A.C., and this subsection, the Department encourages innovative and
flexible planning and development strategies and creative land use planning techniques in local plans.
Planning strategies and techniques such as urban villages, new towns, satellite communities, area -
based allocations, clustering and open space provisions, mixed -use development and sector planning
that allow the conversion of rural and agricultural lands to other uses while protecting environmentally
sensitive areas, maintaining the economic viability of agricultural and other predominantly rural land
uses, and providing for the cost-efficient delivery of public facilities and services, will be recognized as
methods of discouraging urban sprawl and will be determined consistent with the provisions of the
state comprehensive plan, regional policy plans, Chapter 163, Part 11, F.S., and this chapter regarding
``,+ discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl.
(6) Multimodal Transportation District. Multimodal transportation districts may be established by local
option for areas for which the local government assigns priority for a safe, comfortable, and attractive
pedestrian environment. The local government must establish community design standards for the
district to reduce vehicle miles traveled and to support an integrated, multimodal transportation
system that includes the elements for community design specified in Section 163.3180(15)(b), F.S.

AMENDMENT 09-1
January 2, 2009
Division of Community Planning
Office of Comprehensive Planning
This report is prepared pursuant to Rule 9j.i i ,ol o
INTRODUCTION
The following objections, recommendations and comments are based upon the
Department's review of the St. Lucie County, 09-1 proposed amendment to their
comprehensive plan pursuant to s. 163.3184, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
The objections relate to specific requirements of relevant portions of Chapter
9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. Each
objection includes a recommendation of one approach that might be taken to address the
cited objection. Other approaches may be more suitable in specific situations. Some of
these objections may have initially been raised by one of the other external review
agencies. If there is a difference between the Department's objection and the external
agency advisory objection or comment, the Department's objection would take
precedence.
Each of these objections must be addressed by the local government and corrected
when the amendment is resubmitted for our compliance review. Objections which are
not addressed may result in a determination that the amendment is not in compliance.
The Department may have raised an objection regarding missing data and analysis items
which the local government considers not applicable to its amendment. If that is the case,
a statement justifying its non -applicability pursuant to Rule 9J-5.002(2), F.A.C., must be
submitted. The Department will make a determination on the non -applicability of the
requirement, and if the justification is sufficient, the objection will be considered
addressed.
The comments which follow the objections and recommendations section are
advisory in nature. Comments will not form bases of a determination of non-compliance.
They are included to call attention to items raised by our reviewers. The comments can
be substantive, concerning planning principles, methodology or logic, as well as editorial
in nature dealing with grammar, organization, mapping, and reader comprehension.
Appended to the back of the Department's report are the comment letters from the
other state review agencies and other agencies, organizations and individuals. These
comments are advisory to the Department and may not form bases of Departmental
objections unless they appear under the "Objections" heading in this report.

OBJECTIONS RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS REPORT
ST. LUCIE COUNTY 09-1
PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
I. Consistency with Rule 9J-5, F.A.C., and Chanter 163_Part 1I, F.S.
The St. Lucie County 09-1 amendment contains a Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
amendment, and addition of Figure 1-7m to the Future Land Use Element which contains
site specific language for the associated FLUM amendment.
1.Ob�ection: The County has not demonstrated that it has an adequate supply of water
to meet current and future water supply needs, including water supply to serve the
proposed land use change, because the County has not adopted its i 0-Year Water Supply
Facilities Work Plan as required by Section 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.
Authority: Sections 163.3167(13); 163.3177(3), (6)(a), (c), and (d), F.S., and Rules 9J-
5.006(2), (3)(b)1, (3)(c)3; 9J-5.011(]), (2)(b)l, 2, (2)(c)1, 2; 9J-5.016(1), (2), (3)(b)I, 3,
4, 5, (3)(c)6, 8, (4), F.A.C.
Recommendation: The County should delay adopting the proposed amendment until
the I0-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan is adopted.
If the data and analysis determines that capital improvements will be needed in the next
five years to meet the County's water supply, then those capital improvements must be
included in a financially feasible five year schedule of capital improvements. To be
financially feasible, projects in the first three years of the schedule of capital
improvements must be funded by committed revenue sources. Projects identified in
years four and five can be funded by committed or planned revenue sources.
2.Obieetion: The amendment package includes a new Figure 1-7m which illustrates the
subject property and contains the site specific development limitations for the property.
The language limits industrial uses to 310,800 square feet of gross building area, and
allows commercial uses ancillary to industrial uses. Although the data and analysis
submitted in support of this amendment evaluated public facility impacts based on the
industrial development of the site, the public facility analyses did not include an
assessment of the commercial development that would be allowed on the site. The
Mixed Use future land use designation allows up to 1.0 floor area ratio for commercial
development in High Intensity Development areas. The County has not adequately
demonstrated the availability of public facilities based on the maximum development
potential of the property.
4
The amendment package has not demonstrated that adequate water and wastewater
facilities exist to serve the property based upon the maximum development potential.
The amendment package contains a letter from Ft. Pierce Utilities stating that the Utilities
would serve the site, but the amendment has not demonstrated that the Utilities have
adequate potable water supply and potable water and wastewater treatment capacities to
serve the amendment property. Additionally, though the amendment package contains a
transportation analysis, the transportation analysis is not based upon the maximum
development potential of the property, because it does not include the commercial
development.
If the data and analysis determines that capital improvements will be needed in the next
five years to meet the County's water supply, then those capital improvements must be
included in a financially feasible five year schedule of capital improvements. To be
financially feasible, projects in the first three years of the schedule of capital
improvements must be funded by committed revenue sources. Projects identified in
years four and five can be funded by committed or planned revenue sources.
Authority: Sections 163.3164(32); 163.3167(13); 163.3177(3), (6)(a), (b), (c), (d), 0),

Subject St Lucie County DCA# W1
I am writing to advise you that the Department will not be issuing an ORC report on the proposed St.
Lucie County Comprehensive Plan Amendments 09-1. We found through our screening of the
amendments that there are no state or regionally significant transportation issues.
Related discussion follows:
The large-scale map amendment proposes to modify the future land use designation on approximately
39 acres in unincorporated St. Lucie County north of Midway Road, west of Selvitz Road, and along the
north side of the Favorite Road right-of-way from Residential Suburban to MXD (Mixed Use). The MXD
designation is being limited by policy text to a maximum square footage of 310,800 for industrial uses
(commercial uses shall only be ancillary). No other uses would be permitted.
1-95 is located approximately two and a half miles west of the site and it has an existing LOS B level of
service from St, Lucie Boulevard to State Road 70/Okeechobee Road. Midway Road from the site
entrance to State Road 615/25 11 Street exceeds the County's LOS E standard. The widening of Midway
Road from Florida's Turnpike to 25Ib Street is contained within the St. Lucie County Capital Improvement
Plan and is in the Long -Range Cost Feasible Plan: The County acknowledges In the staff report that some
improvements are programmed, but the Identified funding will not be sufficient to complete the project.
During development review, the applicant will be required to enter a proportionate fair share
agreement to mitigate traffic impacts from the development of the site.

TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL
MEMORANDUM
To: Council Members AGENDA ITEM SM
From: Staff
Date: December 12, 2008 Council Meeting
Subject: Local Government Comprehensive Plan Review
Draft Amendments to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan
DCA Reference No. 09-1
Introduction
The Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act,
Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, requires that Council review local government
comprehensive plan amendments prior to their adoption. Under the provisions of this
law, the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) prepares an Objections,
Recommendations, and Comments (ORC) Report on a proposed amendment only if
requested to do so by the local government, the regional planning council, an affected
person, or if an ORC Report is otherwise deemed necessary by the DCA. If an ORC
Report is to be prepared, then Council. must provide DCA with its findings of consistency
or inconsistency with the Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP), and provide any
comments and recommendations for modification on the proposed amendments within 30
days of its receipt,
Background
St. Lucie County is proposing text amendments to the Future Land Use Element and one
amendment to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the County Comprehensive Plan.
The County has requested a formal review of the amendments by the DCA.
Evaluation
The FLUM and text amendments are directly related. The proposed text amendments are
considered sub -area policies that impose conditions upon development of the subject
property.
L Future Land Use Amendment
The 38.1 acre property is located northwest of the intersection of Midway and Selvitz
Roads (see Exhibits). The northern boundary of the property is contiguous to the City
of Fort Pierce (see Exhibits 5-7). The property has been used for citrus groves for
several decades; a use that is likely to continue in the foreseeable future, according to
the amendment materials. No site plan has been submitted, although the proposed
land use is to be restricted to industrial/commercial by policy. The landowner
application indicates the change is so that the FLUM designation is more consistent
with surrounding designations.
The current FLUM designation is Residential Suburban (RS - maximum two dwelling
units per acre). The proposed FLUM designation is Mixed Use Development
(MXD). The current land use on surrounding properties includes vacant land to the
north, public and institutional uses including a post office and sheriffs office to the
south, large lot single family homes to the east and an industrial park to the west. The
FLUM designations on surrounding properties are Industrial (City of Fort Pierce) to
the north, Public Facilities to the south, RS to the east and Industrial to the west.
Given the surrounding land uses and designations, County staff indicates that an
industrial use (proposed for this property) is more compatible than the RS
designation. The landowner will be required to mitigate traffic impacts, since there
will be impacts to a segment of Midway Road that has exceeded the level of service
capacity.
�kr
The County staff indicated that the MXD designation is not appropriate at this
location. According to the County Plan:
The intent of the Mixed U.se Development (MXD) designation is to
identify those areas where innovative land use concepts are encouraged.
Application of this district should be with prudence, and should be only
to those areas where traditional land use classifications do not afford the
desired flexibility and community input in land use planning necessary to
address local concerns. Candidates for this district include all I-95
interchange areas, the St. Lucie County International Airport,
Community Development Districts created pursuant to Chapter 190,
Florida Statutes and areas of special or unique environmental
consideration that may not be appropriate for traditional land use
designations.
This property is not located in a specialized area as identified in the above. The
County staff concluded that an Industrial designation is more appropriate for this
location. Such a designation would allow all the uses proposed by the landowner and
included in the sub -area policies.
%4W
2. Text Amendments
The text amendments are to the Future Land Use Element. The County refers to them
as "sub -area policies" and they appear only on proposed Figure 1-7m of the Element
(See Exhibit 8). The policies impose conditions to the assignment of the MXD
designation to the Cassens Grove property.
Extraiurisdictional -impacts
Consistent with the informal agreement between the local governments in the northern
three counties of the Region, the County provided copies of the amendment materials to
surrounding local governments and counties, Council sent a memo to local governments
and other relevant agencies dated November 6, 2008, regarding comments on the
proposed amendments. As of the date of this report, no correspondence has been
received regarding the proposed amendments. There should not be significant
extrajurisdictional impacts as a result of the amendments.
Effects on Significant Regional Resources or Facilities
Analysis of the proposed amendments indicates that they would not have adverse effects
on significant regional resources or facilities.
Analysis of Consistency with Strategic Regional Policy Plan
Neither the redesignation of this property to Mixed Use nor the proposal to limit the
property to industrial and ancillary commercial uses would be considered inconsistent
with the SRPP. However, as the: County staff pointed out during the transmittal hearings,
the property does not meet the criteria in the County Comprehensive Plan for designation
as MXD. The designation for this property as MXD would be internally inconsistent with
the County Plan. It is not totally clear why the landowner has applied for the MXD
designation from the County, yet agreed to condition the designation on uses that would
be permitted under a more straightforward designation, such as the Industrial designation
recommended by County staff.
However, it is important that local governments in the region allow for and promote a
balanced, well -planned compatible mix of land uses, consistent with Regional Goal 6.1.
A mix of uses is desirable not only at interchange and special or unique areas as
anticipated in the County MXD designation, but in areas that are smaller in scale and
scope. A vertical and horizontal mix of uses is desirable.
Comment/Recommendation for Modification
1. The issues that have arisen as a result of the consideration of an appropriate FLUM
designation for this property suggest that the County may need more than one
mixed or multi -use FLUM designation. During its Evaluation and Appraisal Report
process, the County should consider adding one or more additional mixed use
1�
3
designations so that future neighborhoods and communities, even when small in
1%W scale, can have a balanced, compatible mix of land uses with a compact design and
a mix of building types consistent with the SRPP.
Consistency with Strategic Regional Policy Plan
The contract agreement between the DCA and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning
Council requires Council to include a determination of consistency with the SRPP as part
of the written report to be submitted to the DCA. Council finds the proposed amendments
to be CONSISTENT with the SRPP.
Recommendation
Council should adopt the above comments and instruct staff to transmit the report to the
Department of Community Affairs.

Request for continuance of the adoption hearing for Comprehensive Plan
Amendment Cycle 2009-1, formerly known as Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Cycle 2008-2
Ordinance No. 09-006 (formerly known as Ordinance No 08-030)
Project Name: Cassens White City Grove
Applicant/Agent: Terry L. Virta, AICP File No. FLUMA-420081453 / TCP-
420081454: Future Land Use Map Amendment from RS (Residential Suburban -
2 du/acre) to MXD (Mixed Use Development) Specific Use Area, adding Figure I-
7m and Sub -Area policy language.
Consider staff recommendation to continue this item to April 21, 2009,
It was moved by Com. Grande, seconded by Com. Dzadovsky, to
continue this item on April 21, 2009, and; upon roll call, motion carried
unanimously.
B. GROWTH MANAGEMENT
Consider the petition of Barol LLC for a waiver from the paving requirements of
Section 7.05.07 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code for the Minor
Site Plan for the project known as "Horseshoe Grove."
Draft Resolution No. 09-010
File No.: 720071270
Current Zoning: AG-5 (Agriculture - 1du/ 5 acres)
Future Land Use: AG-5 (Agriculture - Idu/ 5 acres)
Project Area: 40.51 acres
Staff recommends adoption of Draft Resolution 09-010 denying the request.
Mr. Johnathan Ferguson, Ruden McCloskey attorney for the applicant,
addressed the Board on this item. He stated the two issues tonight
were the paving issues. He believes the request for the internal road
will only serve one of the lots and believes would not be necessary
since the other two lots can be accessed by the canal right of way. It
is more logical for the plat to be configured as they believe it should
be and waive the paving requirement. They are asking for a
reasonable interpretation of the County's Land Development Code and
under the circumstances allow the sub -division to go forward with the
right of way being stabilized proving emergency access to the one lot
that does not front FIFA Road. The second issue is the paving of FFA
Road. They do not disagree with the cost estimate by the County
Engineer of $1.2 million; however they believe the cost can increase
under circumstances. They are asking to be treated like the rest of the
residents who live on the road that they are given the opportunity to
pay If the county creates an MSBU. They are given the ability to
participate in the special assessment district as the other homeowners
in the area will be required to do. He believes they should not be
treated as a big development.
C. GROWTH MANAGEMENT
The continuation of the petition of St. Lucie Self Storage, LLC for
Preliminary/Final PNRD (Planned Non - Residential Development) Site Plan
approval for the project to be known as St. Lucie Business Park Storage PNRD
located in Lot #1 St. Lucie Business Park. The project is located on Business
Park Drive, 610 feet West of US-1, and across US-1 from Mediterranean Avenue
in a PNRD Zoning District. Draft Resolution No. 09-008 is attached.
Staff is requesting that this petition be continued to April 7, 2009, at 6:00 PM or
as soon thereafter.
Com. Dzadovsky addressed the 2 swales in the area and questioned
who owned each Swale.
Staff advised Com. Dzadovsky and the Board there is a 30ft drainage
easement on the business park property and the second Swale is on
the other side by Spanish Lakes. The County does not own any of the
swales.
Ms. Noreen Dwyer, attorney for the applicant addressed the Board
regarding this request for a continuation.
Quasi Iudicial- Com. Coward acknowledged meeting with the
applicant. He stated he had concerns with the compatibility issue in
terms of the height of the project and the neighbors and
recommended working on this issue if this was going to be continued
and move forward.
Com. Grande stated he concurred and would like to know the square
footage for a single story storage facility half the size.
Com. Dzadovsky stated he the compatibility of a 6 story structure is
not in line or meets what is in the business park.
Com. Coward stated he wanted to let the applicant know that if they
wished to move forward with this project, they needed to work on the
size of the structure and modify it if they wished to obtain his vote.
It was moved by Com. Dzadovsky, seconded by Com. Grande, to
continue this item to April 7, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter
as it may be heard, and; upon roll call, motion carried unanimously.

23 The purpose of the rezoning is to allow a change in zoning from single-
24 family residential to a neighborhood commercial use. The uses allowed
25 under the current zoning are no longer viable at the corner of US Highway
26 ` 1 and Rio Mar Drive.
'7
z
28 Ms. Tetsworth went on to explain that there is a.River Park Overlay
2District along Prima Vista Blv
g d. that contains certain restrictions and
9 constraints. it requires that the commercial uses, at certain intersections of
30,
31 this area, be designated as PNRD (Planned Non -Residential
32, Developments). It allows for commercial neighborhood uses and
33 commercial general uses. The PNRD zoning district, would allow the
34 County to use better planning practices and control of buffering, egress
35 and ingress, access points, on -site parking requirements, signage and
30 lighting requirements.
37
38 Staff is in support of changing the zoning on these parcels, but would like
39 to recommend a different zoning district. The County is trying to promote
40 smart growth.
41
g this item be continued to allow time for
42 Staff, therefore, is recommendin
43 the applicant to work together with the Growth Management Department
44 to either revise the application to request a PNRD or pursue an Overlay
45 Zone through the Comprehensive Planning process.

Ms. Terissa Moulder -Aronson, the applicant, addressed the Board and
explained that they are unable to attract buyers andlor developers as it is
currently zoned residential. The costs associated with doing a PNRD
would be too much for the residents at this time.
Ms. Moulder -Aronson submitted a petition signed by surrounding
commercial property owners in favor of this rezoning.
There were discussions between Board members and staff with, regards to
the straight zoning of Commercial Neighborhood versus staff s, suggestion
of a PNRD. Staff reiterated that a PNRD would enable the County to do
more prudent planning and have control over buffering requirements,
egress and ingress, control over access points, on -site parking
requirements, signage and lighting requirements.
Ms. Moulder -Aronson explained that there is a letter in the Board's packet
from Mr. and Mrs. Gomez who own the property directly behind these lots
and they are in favor of this rezoning. Ms. Caron read that letter into the
record.
Ms. Caron opened the public hearing. The following members of the
public spoke in opposition of this rezoning: John Ray and Ann Law
(stating concerns such as increased traffic congestion, as well as the fact
that there are numerous commercial buildings that are vacant and
commercial businesses who are no longer in business in the area).
No one else from the public spoke and the public hearing was closed.
Discussions between Board members and staff continued. Ms. Hammer
noted that she supports the PNRD zoning as suggested by staff and feels
there are a lot of issues that need to be worked out and a site plan is
needed. Several other Board members expressed the same opinion.
Staff also pointed out that with the straight zoning of Commercial
Neighborhood very few applications come before the Growth
Management Department. Most just apply to the Building Department.
Ms. Hammer motioned to continue this application to the March 19,
2009 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to allow staff to work
with the applicant towards a concept of the PNRD.
Mr. Lounds seconded.

20
21 Peter Jones presented this item and displayed a power point presentation.
22Mr. Jones explained that the subject parcel is located approximately '14
23 mile south of Orange Avenue.. The current zoning is IX (Industrial,
24 Extraction). Zoning to the north and south is IL (industrial, Light) and TX
25 (industrial, Extraction), respectively. Zoning to the'east and west are
26 Agricultural with one dwelling unit per five acres. The subject property
27 has a Future Land Use of AG-5 (Agricultural-5, One Dwelling Unit Per
28 Five Acres).
29
30 The owner of the property is requesting this amendment in order to rezone
31 the property from IX (Industrial, Extraction) to IL (Industrial, Light),
32' which will allow proposed improvements and for the sale of this property.
33
34; Staff has found that the proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment is not
35 consistent with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. Therefore,
36 staff is recommending denial of this application.
37
38 Mr. Dunn, the applicant, addressed the Board briefly. He explained that
39 he purchased this property thinking it was already zoned Industrial. Since
40 he learned that it is not zoned Industrial, he is now trying to sell it. With
41 the approval of this Future Land Use Map Amendment, he will be able to
42 rezone the property and sell it more quickly.

and Christina Parsons.
Ms. Kathleen Turner, with Remax Realty, who is assisting Mr. Dunn with
the proposed sale of the subject property, addressed the Board and feels
that the request should be approved since the property is bordered on two
sides by light industrial zoning.
No one else from the public spoke and the public comment portion was
closed.
Mr. Beaty motioned that the Planning and Zoning Commission
forward this application to the Board of County Commissioners with
a recommendation of denial because the proposed Future Land Use is
not consistent with the single-family residences along Trowbridge

designation of Industrial, Light within the Urban Services Boundary.

21
Ms. Hammer pointed out that the Traffic Study is based on 5 units per acre
22

that the impact would be considerably less since the study is based on 5
24
units per acre and only 2 units are allowed. Ms. Hammer noted that the

Traffic Study is incorrect and should be corrected.

THROUGH: Mark Satterlee, AICP, Growth Management Director
FROM: Peter W. Jones, AIA, Comprehensive Planning Manager
©ATE: September 16, 2008
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment Cycle 2008-02
This memorandum provides staff review and recommendations regarding the pragsed items
included in St, Lucie County Cornpreftrisive Plan �ndment Cycle 20084)Z Two
applications for Future Land Use Map Amendment, one of which includes a Text Amend er,
are scheduled for the October 7, 2008 Board of County Commission agenda. There will not be
an individual memorandum for each item.
A third application, Ordinance No. 08-027, "Bayberry Propwfte was advertised fnr: public
hearing forthe Planning and Zoning Commission, then subsequently removed from'the ant
Comprehensive Plan Cycle at the request of the applicant; it is not being considered at this titre,
1. "„ t ce No. 48-M "John M. Dunn" is requesting a Future Land Use change of
7 4,62 acres from AG-5 (Agricultural-5 -1 du/5 acres) to MXD (Mixed Use DevekVment)
Specific Use Area.
4
�r Property Location: Approximately .25 miles south of Grange Avenue, 5.6 miles west of 1-95.
The property is flanked by the North St. Lucie Water Management (NSLWMD) Canal No. 56 on
the east and Trowbridge Road to the west. Godfrey Road rums adjacent to the east along canal
No. 56.
Staff Comments: Future industrial uses discussed in the application would not be compatible
with the single-family residences along the west side of Trowbridge Road, just north of the
subject property. Parcels in the existing West Orange MXD area all front on Orange Avenue,
isolating truck traffic to this main corridor. Proposed uses on this subject property would require
improvements to and added traffic on Trowbridge Road, which staff views as Incompatible with
the existing Ww-intensity residential area. St Lucie Countycurrently has an existiril inventory
of land with a Future Land Use Map designation of Industrial Lwid Lies win the Urban Service
Area that is currently undeveloped. The analysis staff conducted indicates that a MXD .land use
in this area is not consistent with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan or Florida State
Statues.
Planning and ,Zoning Commission Action: Please see the attached minutes for the
September 9 2008 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. During this meeting Mr. Bryan
Beaty motioned to recommend a denial to the Board of County Commission due to the use
;being inconsistent with the neighboring single-family residences as well as a sWpfus of
undeveloped land designated Industrial, Light within the Urban Services Boundary. The motion
was seconder] by Ms. Pamela Hammer and carried unanimously,
3taff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commission follow the
Planning and Zoning recommendation of denial and not transmit the proposed amendment to
the Department of Community Affairs.

area of this parcel does not meet to criteria outlinedin the, Comprehensive Plan. The MXD
Specific Use Area could however be considered a beneficial land use as it requires the
applicant to pursue the PNRD process upon development and "include a minimum 35% open
space. However, the parcel is not located in such a 'specialized area as outlined in the
Comprehensive Plan MXD language. Given the criteria for consideration of a MXD Future Land
Use, it Is sWs conclusion that a Future Land Use of IND (Industrial) may be more appropriate
for the subject property. The IND designation would be consistent with the County
Comprehensive Plan and would permit all of the uses and intensities discussed in I the
application and proposed sub -area palicles. Staff finds that the proposed amendment is
consistent with the relevant provisions of the state and regional plans, rules and statuteis;:ami
does not trigger any primary indicators for the proliferation of urban sprawl; it f would be
t�ns►sient with state and regional standards if the Future Land Use Map were amended to
other MXD as requested by the applicant or IND as proposed by staff.

INTRODUCTION
�1
It is proposed to change the land use designation of the subject property from
Residential (2 dwelling units per acre) to MXD. The subject property is located west
of Selvitz Road and north of Midway Road in St. iueie County, Florida. Figure i
shows the location of the subject property, which encompasses approximately 39
acres.' The study area for the analysis consisted of all major roadways within two
miles of the subject site.
While typically MXD would allow commercial and residential land uses, the subarea
policies that are part of this request limit specific land uses to industrial. Therefore,
the projection of future #rips is limited to the square footage of industrial park area as
included in this proposed amendment to the. Comprehensive Plan.
Access to the property is proposed via a new connection west to Jenkins Road.
] Access is not currently proposed via Selvitz Road.
(l Kimley-Flom and Associates, Inc. was retained to prepare a comprehensive plan
amendment traffic analysis for the potential impact of the dump is land use
designation within a 5-year timeframe (through the end of the year 2013).

DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT
The external traffic distribution for the subject site was determined using model
outputs from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Model (TCRPM). A new traffic
analysis zone (TAZ) was created at the subject property within the model to represent
the proposed change in land use and to determine the traffic distribution.
The potential traffic resulting from the subject site was assigned to the external
roadway network based on the distribution obtained from the model. The model
outputs can be found in the Appendix.

BACKGROUND TRAFFIC
# . ,Existing Traffic
Existing PM peak hour peak direction traffic volumes were calculated from turning
movement volumes, 2006 MOT data and 2006 St. Lucie County raw data,
jj Historical Growth
1�
To account for background growth between the count year (2006 or 2007) and 2013,
the historic growth rate was calculated by comparing Spring 2001 daily volumes with
Spring 2006 daily volumes reported by the 'St. Lucia MPO and FDOT. This
historical growth rate was applied to the existing roadway link volumes to datermine
background conditions in 2013. The growth rate on Selvitz Road could not be
calculated because AADT volumes are not available. A five percent growth rate was
utilized for Selvit2 Road.

AND
A review of the Five -bear Plans of St. Lucie County and FDOT identify the
following roadway capacity improvements or studies in the two-mile base
transportation impact area.
• S. 25'� Street from W. Midway Road to Edwards Road/ CR 611- widened
from 2 lanes to 4 lanes — under construction.
• W. Midway Road from Florida's Turnpike to S. 25 h Street — widened from 2
lanes to 4 lanes — identified as a capital improvement need by St. Lucie
County —Construction planned to begin in 2009 as per St. Lucie County
Engineering.
• Selvitz Road & Glades Cut -Off Road Intersection — assured intersection
improvements.

LEVEL OF SERVICE EVALUATIO
Tabte 2 shows the results of the Level of service analysis for the proposed land -use
change for the analysis year 2013. The volumes in this 2013 analysis were obtained
from the sum of the existing traffic, background growth, and the land use traffic for
PM Peak hour traffic.
The additional traffic related to the change in lanaiuse is expected to sguificantiy
impact (more than l °l of the adopted capacity) the roadway at the adopted level of
service the following facilities:
• Selvitz Road: South of Midway Road
Midway Road. from I-95 to 25th Street
• Glades Cut -Off Road; South of Midway Road
The change in land use is expected to have de minimus impact to I 95s a Strategic
Intermodal System (SIS) facility.
The following link is anticipated to exceed the geueraliud servile volume;
Midway Road - from Glades Cut -Off to 25'h Street. Midway Road from
Glades Cut-off to Selvitz Read is projected to exceed the generalized
service volume in 2013 with or without the change in land use of this
Property . Moreover, Midway Road from Selvitz Road to 25"' Street is only
projected to exceed the service volume in 2013 by four trips given historical
growth and land use traffic. The widening of Midway Roan hom Florida's
Turnpike to 25`b Street is contained within the St. Lucie County Capital
finprovment Flan. This widening is also contained within the Long=Range
Transportation, Cost Feasible Plan.
As the property develops, site specific eoncurrency analyses will be performed to
determine specific improvements.

CONCLUSION
Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. has prepared this report summarizing the impact of
the proposed laud use amendment for the subject property located west of Selvitz Road
and north of Midway Road in St. Lucie County, Florida. It is proposed to change the
land use designation of the subject property from Residential to M X D. While typically
MXD would allow commercial and residential land uses, the subarea policies that are
part of this request limit specific land uses to industrial. Therefore, the projection of
future trips is limited to the square footage of industrial park area as included in this
proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan_
It is understood that the purpose of the comprehensive plan traffic analysis is to
demonstrate consistency and financial feasibility with the County and State five-year
work programs, Concurrency is not addressed at this stage but rather administered by
St. Lucie County when the applicant submits a site plan application. The maximum
land use intensity is theoretical in nature and will be adjusted at the site development
stage to meet adopted level of service standards.
i The analysis indicates that the link of Midway Road from Glades Cut -Off Road to
i Selvitz Road is expected to reach and exceed its capacity by the year 2013 with or
without the change in land use of the subject property.
(j The following mitigation options are available to the applicant to address Midway
Road:
1) Funding is identified in either the State or County five-year Work Programs
2) The applicant phases to approximately 100,000 square fed resulting in PM peak
hour trips being net equivalent to the existing residential lanai use designation.
I 3) The applicant prepares a more detailed analysis at the concurrenoy stage to
demonstrate these facilities meet acceptable level of service.
4) The applicant may enter into a Proportionate Share Agreement for necessary
improvements.

ANALYSIS
The,ourrent, zoning of this property, as well as most. of the residential parows to the east :along
Selvitz Road, is AR-1 (Agricultural Residential 1). Seotion'S.t31.Q .E provides the following
guidance for `develo rent Inthis zoning district.
The prepoe0 of fhls d*M is to pwlde andproW� an errt*wmeM;au Me ivr single
fw* it ?ings atair, rrmeAnwm density of one (1) dwelt per go" acre, togetlw
such o ar-am; as may be necessary for and compaWe wlih vW low density rural
Under its c;urent zoning„the property could be divided into I -acre lots for up to 38 single-family
residences, though the ultimata lot yield would be lower as some acreage wrouki be cased for
streets to aocess these lots, Given the RS Feature Land Use that provides fora development
potential of up to btnm dwalli ng units per acre, the spplloant could also propose to nezorte the,
property to RE-2 {f?a Wantlol, Estate — 2), RS 2 (Residential, Single Family 2) or PUD
(Planned Unit Develop
ment) and develop up to 76 single family units.
Should the requested Future land Use designation of MXD Specific Use Area be granted, at
the time of development the property would be required to rezone to the PNRD (Plonned Non -
Residential Development) zoning district. Uses and intensities would be limited to non-
residential as outlined In the Sub -Area policy language.
FUTURELAND USE:
The Future Land Use of the property is currently Residential Suburban, which `is intended to act
as a transitional area behwen the agricultural areas and titre inorb Intense -residential areas in
the eastern portion of the County.... The RS designation is intended for large lot, ogle -family
detached residential dwellings, at a density of one to two, units per gross acre "
The proposed MXO land use"would ailiow devetopment-listed in the concurrent Sub -Area policy
text amendments primed by the applicant. To be both' to em with other Specific Use
Areas in the Comprehensive Plant and clear that residential development will not be permitted
on-#Iis site, staff has, revised the applicant's proposed sub-sarea policy' language to read as
folitwus
• This Mixed Use Activity Spedfic Use Area Is restricted in use to the equivalent of
the COM and IND Land Use designations Ss: described In ' the Future Land Use
Element. IND uses shall be limited to 310,800 square'feet of gross 'building area,
COM,uses shall only be ancillary to IND uses,
• Development on this sits shag be approved through the Planned Dion -Residential
Development process, and shall` include aporoprists'- opon space' and buffers
adjacent to residential uses and environin*ental conditions. Access to development
shalt be provided from the west vla Favorite Road,
",Given that industrial and institutional;, uses exist or will be developed on three sides of the
subject property, it is staffs asseamm- nt that the proposed industrial uses would be more
compatible with this area than the existing RS land Use.
COMPLIANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The analysis staff conducted Indicates that an MXD land use in this area is not ,entirely
consistent, with the St. Ludo County Comprehensive"Plan. In staffs'assessinerA, the area of this
parcel does not meet the criteria outlined in the following Comprehensive Plan language.
The intent of the Adiked Use Devetopment (WO), de6Vnaftn /s to idel'W Oroso, wove
where Innovave• tend UW concepts are encodrAgedr Appffbafi n>'ot this d &**id sh;641d

Future Land Use of IND (industrial) may be more appropriate for the subject property. The IND
designation would be .consistent with the County Comprehensive Ilan and would permit all of
the uses and intensities discussed in the application and proposed subarea policies
COMPLIANCE WITH STATE -STATUTES AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Staff has reviewed -the proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment against the standards
provided in Rule 9J-5.00M Review of PWe and Plan Amenctrnen#s for Qtscoureging the
Prd femiicm of Utban Sprawl, of the Florida Administrative Code.
The, County currently has, over 1,500 acres of undeveloped Industrial lead within the Urban
Service Area. it Could be argued that •projected growth tr+eruls Over. the planning period" (OJ-
5.006(5Xq8I do.not warrant additional industrial land in St. Lucie County et this time, but even
this assessment is dependent upon unforeseeable economic trends in the doming years:- in
staffs analysis, other aspects of the evaluation of land uses (9J-5.0 5Xh)J Including the
location, functional relationship and existing pattern of development in the particular area of the
Counnty, dearly warrant this amendment.
Staff finds that the proposed, amendment is consistent with the relevant provisions of the state
and ;regional plans, rules and statutes and- does not bigger any primary, Indicators for the
prol#eration of urban sprawi. If the Future Land Use Map Amendment were reWsed to propose
an IND land use designation, this would also be consistent with state and regional standards.
COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD:
Future Industrial uses discussed in the application would be compatible with the industrial land
and uses to the north and west, as well as Institutional land and uses to the 'south. With
{ buffering appropriate to the specific intensity of proposed uses, Inclustrial,development could
also be compatible with the existing low -density residential condition to the east.
If the Future Land Use Map Amendment for the site were approved as industrial, future site plan
application, could, occur as either a Major Site Plan Apples or.a Planned Wren -Residential
Development. Sub -area policy language proposed with the MXD land usaAesignation requires
that a future site plan occur as PNRD, providing a slightly more stringent review process and
requiring 35% open space. One argument in favor of the 11lgCD Specific Use land use
designation is that the PNRD process would be mandated, whereas a PNRD application is
optional in IND.
ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS:
According: to the applicant, the site has been In active citrus production for decades and there Is
no indication of environmentally sensitive areas on sf#a . At the time of dement, appropriate
buffering will required along the. southern edge of the property adjacent to the environmentally
sensitive areas to the south.
NATURAL HAZARDS:,
No natural hazards exist.thtrinsic to this site. The subject panel Is located in Zone X, outside the
500-year flood plain (FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map Number 12111 C0188 F).
HISTORICAL AND ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES:
No Significant historical or archeological sites are known to exist on site. The two closest
historical sites are concrete biotic homes approximately one mile away. Both were constructed
in the mid-1950s and both ineligible for the local or national register.
TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS:
In staff's review of to traffic anal, the proposed land use change would result in an increase
of an estimated 2" vehicle trips and 71 p.m. peak hour trips based upon anticipated site
development trip geneobn. These additional trips Wi4 be assigned to Mdway Road between
Seivitz Road and the Florida Tumpike as the direct connection primary faclity and to Midway
Road -between 2e StroWand U61 as a secondary distribution factifty.' Both segments of
Midway Road are opera#htg`at a current LOS, "F" condition.
The traffic generated from any future development an the site will have to be mitigated for by the
opplioanf. Midway -Road *6fh SSMU to they Tump lta ha's soma funding htent#ied within the

reconetmption pmlect; and no tonstructicin funding is identified for the portion of Midway Road
east of South 25* Stoat.
Regardless of the status of funding or construction at :the tirne of site plan or rezoning
application,, the applicant will be required to enter into a Proportionate Fair Share Agreernent
Witt the County we
n" meaof mitigating tnaffio impacts for any devefopment bf the site. The
applicant has submitted of Con4tMocy Deferral Affidavit to -defer the certificate of capacity until
the time of proposed development.
PARKS AND RISCREATION:;
As the proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment, limits future development to non-residential
uses, there Is no anticipated Impact to parks and recreational factlitles.
�'�.�-w�w�>•{ wwi,}: i. i.#�1{\wwiii�.lAiiii { Mw.
Whether future development `6 premed as a Planned Non»Reeklsntiai Development or Major
Site Plan, all site plan appliations shag comply with the St. Lucia County Land Dvvelopment
Code' and Comprehavts ye lien In order to receive final site plant appmvak This' will require
adequate buffering between any .proposed uses on the' -property and €esldent al uses to the east
and environmentally -sensitive lands to -the south, Design of appropriate buffers should be based
on the Intend% of the IndusbW use as well as the ptoatimity to wdeting residential buildings or
conditions,
STAFF ANALYSIS SUMMARY
The proposed Future Land z Use Map Amendmentis consistent with Chapter I Florida
Statutes, and the proposed rises are 0onsister t with the St:: Lute County Comprehensive Plan.
Staff finds that the. prciposeWd designation of MXD an this parcel does not, however{ meet the;
Intent of a mbmd use area. By definition, this designation should provide opportunit}es to
Integrate residential and non resklentai uses In areas of the County appropriate for greater
flexibility In land planning. To create an entirely new MXD area in tine County, then proceed to
unlit it to industrial Ames., occurs to" as counter -intuitive. This, however, is an Iri erprete ion of
the Comprehensive Plan' Rttaht that is subject to advisement by the County roost Planning
Agency and determination by the Board of County Commissioners.

INTRODUCTION
It is proposed to change the land use designation of the subject property from:
Residential (2 dwelling units per acre) to MXD. The subject property is located west
of Selvitz Road and north of Midway Road in St..Lucie. County, Florida. Figure I
shows the location, of the subject property, which encompasses approximately 3.9
acres. The study area for the analysis consisted of all major roadways within two
miles of the subject site.
While typically MXD would allow commercial and residential land uses, the subarea
policies that are part of this request limit specific land uses to industrial. "Therefore,
the projection of future trips is limited to the square footage of industrial park area as
included in this proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plata.
Access to the property is proposed via a new connection west to Jenkins Road. 14
Accecc is not "currently nronosed via Selvitz Roan

TFMFFIC GENERATION
The trip generation potential for the proposed land use change was calculated using
rates and equations contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineers ReportTrip
Generation, Seventh Edition.
An analysis was performed comparing the difference in trip generation potential of .
the existing land use designation and the; proposed land use des Pation. IEt is
estimated. that the proposed land use designation has a potential to e�afe an
increase of 1,336 daily trips, 1.97 AM peak hour trips and 181 PM peak hour trips.
Trip generation calculations are summarized in Table 1.
AW
Land Use
The existing and proposed land uses are comprsed of the following:
Existing Desi~nated Land Use:
Residential (2; dwelling units per acre) —` 78 single family dwelling units
Proposed Designated Land Use:
• 310,800 Square Feet of Industrial Park j
° 28.53 net developable acres at 0.25 maximum PAR
the of
Based on information provided to Kimley-Horn, overall site acreage
approximately 39 acres was reduced by 25% to account for road right -of --way within
the project. The resulting net acreage is 28.53 acres.

DISTRIBUTION,
TENT
The external traffic distribution for the subject site was determined using model
outputs from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning model (TCRPM). A new traffic
analysis zone (TAZ) was created at the subject property within the model to represent
the proposed change in land use and to determine the traffic distribution_
The potential traffic resulting from the subject site was assigned to the .external
roadway network based on the distribution obtained from the model. The model
outputs can be found -in the Appendix.

■ Selvitz Road: South of Midway Road
■ Midway Road: from 1-95 to 25th Street,
■ Glades Cut -Off -Road- South Of Midway Road
The change in land use is expected to have de minimus impact to 1-95, a Strategic`

Glades Cut -Off to Selvitz Road is projected to exceed: the pn 3
service volume in 2013 with or without the change in land ,use of this
property. Moreover, Midway Road from Selvitz Road to 2Yh Sty lS ody
projected to exceed the service volume in 2013 by four trips given historical
growth and land use traffic. The widening of Midway Road from Florida's
Turnpike to 25* Street is contained within the St. Lucie County Capital
Improvement Plan. This widening is also contained within the Long -Range
Transportation Cost Feasible Flan.

CONCLUSION
Krnriey Hom and Associates, Inc. has prepared this report summarizing the impact of
the proposed:ianduse amendment for the subject property located west of Selvitz Road
and north of Midway Road in St. Lucie County, Florida. It is proposed to change the
land use designation of the subject property from Residential to WM. ' While: ypicatly
MXD would allow commercial and residential land uses; the subarea policies that are
part of this request limit specific land uses to Industrial Theretare, the projection of
future trips is limited to the, square footage of industrial park area as included in `this
proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
It is understood that the purpose of the comprehensive plate traffic analysis is to
demonstrate consistency and financial feasibility with the County and State five-year
work programs- Concurrency is not addressed at this stage but rather by
St. Lucie County when the applicant submits a site plan application. The marttmiiin "
land use intensity, is theoretical in nature and will be adjusted at the site development.
stage to meet adopted level of service standards.
The analysis indicates tiW the link of Midway road from Glades Cut -Off Read to
Selvitz Road isexpected to reach and exceed its capacity by the year 2013 with or
without the change in land use of the subject property-
The following mitigationoptions are available to the applicant to address Midway
Road:
1} Funding is identified in either the State or County five-year Work Programs
2) The applicant phases to approximately 100,000 square feet resulting in PM peak
hour trips being net equivalent to the existing residential land use designation. '
3) The applicant. prepares a more detailed analysis at the concurrency stage to-,
demonstrate these facilities meet acceptable level of service.
4) The applicant may enter into a Proportionate Share Agreement for necessary
improvements.

continuing requirement throughout the project. The contract shall provide for continuing proof
of compliance at appropriate intervals and shall provide the County with the right to terminate

undertake the project because that contractor is currently under contract to perform work
that is affiliated with the project; or
(b) The time to competitively award the project wi II jeopardize the funding for the
project, or will materially increase the cost of the project or will create an undue hardship on
the public health, safety, or welfare.

Fee
BACKGROUND: The House Natural Resources Appropriations Committee has passed PCB-
NRAC-09-02 which contains a solid waste disposal fee of $1.25 per ton of solid waste accepted
by a landfill. Local governments are required to provide solid waste services under Florida law,
and the proposed "fee" amounts to a tax for providing that service.

RESOLUTION NO. 09-136
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE HOUSE PCB-NRAC-09-02
WHICH PROPOSES A SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL FEE FOR
SOLID WASTE ACCEPTED BY A LANDFILL
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made
the following determinations:
1. The House Natural Resources Appropriations Committee has passed Bill PCB-
NRAC-09-02 which proposes a solid waste disposal fee of $1.25 per ton of solid waste
accepted by a landf i 11.
2. The Board believes it is in the best interest of the citizens of St. Lucie County
to oppose PCB-NRAC-09-02 for the following reasons:
A. This is a fee imposed on local governments for providing an essential
government service. Local governments are required to provide solid waste services under
Florida law, and the proposed "fee" is effectively a tax on local government for providing that
service.
B. This fee will affect all taxpayers, not just a group of users that choose
to do a certain activity. Everyone needs solid waste collection services.
C. Not all materials brought to a landfill are brought there for final
disposition; rather, some materials are used beneficially, or are recovered from landfills for
recycling or energy production.
D. Materials may sometimes make more than one landfill stop before they
reach their final resting place which means that materials could be subject to the fee more
than once.
E. Certain types of landfill facilities do not have scales. They may accept
waste and payments on a cubic yard basis instead of tons. This will make data collection and
implementation of a solid waste disposal fee challenging.
F. The proposed fee is premature. The Department of Environmental
Protection is working on a comprehensive report relating to the 75% recycling goal that was
passed as part of House Bill 7135. The report is due to the Legislature early next year. The
Legislature will be conducting an examination of solid waste collection and recycling issues
next year. Solid waste collection issues should not be handled in a piecemeal fashion. It
would be more appropriate for all solid waste issues to be handled collectively next year.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St.
Lucie County, Florida:
1. This Board does hereby oppose PCB-NRAC-09-02 for the reasons indicated in
the above paragraphs.
2. The County Administrator is hereby directed to forward a copy of this
resolution to the members of the St. Lucie County Legislative Delegation.
