STAFF COMMENTS:
Transmitted with this memo is Draft Ordinance No. 07-019 which would, if adopted, estabiish an
adopted level of service for passive recreation areas in the County.
Staff has been working with Dr. James Nichalas to establish the framework for an
Environmental Lands Acquisition Impact Fee. As advised by Dr. Nicholas, the first step in the
process is to amend the Comprehensive Plan to establish a level of service. ,
On June 21, 2007, staff requested that the Planning and Zoning Commission continue this item
to the Jufy 19, 2007 rrzeeting so tha# the Commission could receive the data and analysis
prepared by Dr. Nicholas relating to this item. The Commission voted unanimously to continue
to July 19, 2007 at 6:00 PM or as soon thereafter as possible.
On July 19, 2007, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that Ordinance No. 07-
0'E9 be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendatian to transmit to
the Department of Community Affairs in the next transmittal cycle with recortzmended changes
that have been incorporated into the ordinance. Ali but one of the changes has been
incorporated. The proposed change dealing with exempting the TVC planning area was not
included in this ordinance because it was suggested by Dr. Nicholas that this area be exempted
by ordinance rather than in the Comprehensive Plan.
Jonathon Ferguson, Esq,, Ron Heiman, Dennis Murphy, and Tom Babcock all spoke in
opposition during the public camment portion of the hearing for reasons such as: the ordinance
needs additional work and research and should be brought back under the EAR-based
amendments, and additionaf impact fee will make housing even more unaffordable, and whether
or not this is a requirement of the TVC area.
The Planning and Zoning Cornmission voted 3-3 (Mr. Culverhouse, Mr. Schrader, and Ms.
Morgan dissenting) and the motion failed 3-3.
On August 21, 2007 the Board of County Commissioners voted 4-1 (Cornmissioner Craft
dissenting) to transmit Ordinance No. 07-019 to the Department of Community Affairs in the 07-
2 transmittal cycle.

back to haunt the county.

look at a comprehensive approach.

development rights is that it presents the opportunity to preserve land.
Com. Lewis stated she concurred with the comments made but she would like to see
some flexibility.

they do not have a TDR program presently and it can be further refined. He sees it as a
start to where they want to go and there may be compromises to be made in the future.

still not clear what it means. He believes they need to make it clear and take the extra
step to do so. He believes they need to separate the two issues.

to transfer. He recommended adding the language, " of the same or adjacent parcel of
land" to the sentence.

STAFF COMMENTS:
Transmitted with this memo is Draft Ordinance No. 07-019 which would, if adopted, establish an
adopted levef of service for passive recreation areas in the Caunty.
Staff has been working with Dr. James Nicholas to establish the framework for an
Environmental Lands Acquisition Impact Fee. As advised by Dr. Nicholas, the first step in the
process is to amend the Comprehensive Plan to establish a level of service.
On June 21, 2007, staff reguested that the Planning and Zoning Commission continue this item
to the July 19, 2007 meeting so that the Commission could receive the data and analysis
prepared by Dr. Nicholas relating to this item. The Commission voted unanimously to continue
to July 19, 2007 at 6:00 PM or as soon the~eafter as possible.
On July 19, 2007, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that Ordinance No. 07-
019 be forwarded to the Board of County Cammissioners wi#h a recommendation to transmit to
the Department of Community Affairs in the next transmittal cycle with recommended changes
that have been incorporated into the ordinance. All but one of the changes has been
incorporated. The proposed change dealing with exempting the NC planning area was not
included in this ordinance because it was suggested by Dr. Nicholas that this area be exempted
by ordinance rather than in the Comprehensive Plan.
Jonathon Ferguson, Esq., Ron Heiman, Dennis Murphy, and Tom Babcock all spoke in
opposition during the public comment portion of the hearing for reasons such as: the ordinance
needs additional work and research and should be brought back under the EAR-based
amendments, and additional impact fee will make housing even mare unaffordable, and whether
or not this is a requirement of the TVC.area.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 3-3 (Mr. Culverhouse, Mr. Schrader, and Ms.
Morgan dissenting) and the motion failed 3-3.
On August 21, 2007 the Board of County Commissioners voted 4-1 (Commissioner Craft
dissenting) to transmit Ordinance No. 07-019 to the Department of Community Affairs in the 07-
2 transmittal cycle.
On November 11, 2007, the County received the Objections, Recomrnendations and Comments
report from the Department of Community Affairs regarding the 07-2 Comprehensive Plan

Re: Loop Road MXD
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 07-2
Response to Department of Community Affairs ORC Report
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has performed a review of the Objections,
Recommendations, and Comments (ORC) Report prepared by the Department of
Community Affairs regarding the Loop Road MXD Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
This memorandum provides information related to the planned 'unprovements and/vr
mitigation options for the transportation facilities identified by the Department of
Community Affairs and the Florida Department of Transportation.
It is understood that the purpose of the comprehensive plan traffic analysis is to
demonstrate consistency and financial feasibility with County and Sta.te 5-year work
programs; concutrency is not addressed at this stage but rather administered by St.
Lucie County when the applicant for the property submits a site plan application.
Furthermore, the proposed maximum land use intensity for the praperty exceeds 1.3
million square feet of potential development. 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.
Interstate 95
The segment of I-95 (5tate Road 70 to State Road 614) adjacent to the Loop Road
property is currently programmed for constsuction in 2010 for an eight-lane facility.
Tlris committed widening within FDOT's Adopted Work Program mitigates the
property's potentia! impact to Ihis SlSfacility.
OranPe Avenue (State Road 68)
Orange Avenue from Kings Highway to I-95 is projected to exceed the generalized
service volume in 2012 based on the maximum land use. The projected volume is only
marginally over capacity (within 10%) and thus would be expected to meet the
concurrency test based on the actual development plan and the use of detailed arterial
level of service analysis.
