CDi:l St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 3 XV1 Adopted May 19, 2009 Checklist of Up-to-Date Pages (This checklist will be updated with the printing of each Supplement) From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on apage-for-page substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many pages can be inserted and removed in error. The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page. In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page. In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

HIRD HUTCHINSON ISLAND RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT. 1. Purpose. The purpose of the Hutchinson Island Residential District (HIRD) is to provide a residential environment on North and South Hutchinson Island that is respectful of the natural resources and value of the barrier islands and can be supported by available public and private services. HIRD is intended to ensure that the intensity, location, and timing of new residential growth and development is of a character that can be served by adequate public and private facilities, and that protects, preserves and enhances the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of St. Lucie County. Hutchinson Island constitutes a unique and valuable public resource that plays a vital role in defining the County's economic and geographic character. HIRD is intended to facilitate growth and development of the barrier islands while conserving the natural and human values the islands represent. Given the environmentally sensitive nature of barrier islands, HIRD is designed to ensure that growth and development is clustered away from environmentally sensitive lands and is limited to the more tolerant upland portions of Hutchinson Island. HIRD is also intended to implement and be consistent with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. 2. Intent of Application: a. It is the intent of the Board of County Commissioners that HIRD shall apply to all multi-family residential property in the unincorporated areas of North and South Hutchinson Island. b. No application for an amendment to this Code, shall be accepted which proposes to change the zoning classification of any land on North or South Hutchinson Island to a classification other than to: Hutchinson Island Residential District (HIRD); Planned Unit Development (PUD); Planned Non-Residential Develop- ment (PNRD); Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD); Utilities (U); Institu- tional (I); Religious Facilities (RF); any Residential, Estate (RE-1 or RE-2) or any St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 3 3:42 Adopted August 1, 1990 ZONING DISTRICTS 3.01.03 Residential, Single-Family (RS-2, RS-3, RS-4) zoning district. Any residential development on North or South Hutchinson Island must be consistent with Paragraphs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of this Section. 3. Subdistricts. For the purposes of this District, lands located on North and South Hutchinson Island are hereby classified into the following subdistricts: a. North Hutchinson Island Residential District (NHIRD), which includes those lands located on North Hutchinson Island in St. Lucie County; b. South Hutchinson Island Residential District, North (SHIRD-N), which includes those lands located on South Hutchinson Island between the Florida Power and Light Company nuclear power plant and the city limits of the City of Fort Pierce; and c. South Hutchinson Island Residential District, South (SHIRD-S), which includes those lands located on South Hutchinson Island between the Florida Power and Light Company nuclear power plant and Martin County. 4. Environmental Zones. For the purposes of this District, all lands located on North and South Hutchinson Island are classified into one (1) of the following environmental zones based on their geologic, hydrologic, topographic, and biologic character: a. Dune Preservation Zone, which includes those lands lying between the mean high water line to the east and the western edge of the primary dune system, as defined by vegetation and elevation. The Dune Preservation Zone shall have the characteristics of the Beach and Dunelands environmental zone as described in Chapter VIII, Natural Environmental Analysis, of the St. Lucie County Barrier Island Study: Analysis of Growth Management Policy Plan (August, 1982). Where the western edge of the primary dune system cannot be ascertained, the Dune Preservation Zone shall be set by reference to a management/ restoration plan that has been prepared based on natural coastal dynamics. b. Uplands, which include those lands lying west of the western edge of the primary dune system and which are not classified as wetlands as defined in paragraph (c) of this subsection. c. Wetlands, which include those lands lying west of the western edge of the primary dune system that are above the elevation of mean high water and are included in the landward extent of waters of the state as defined in Rule 17-4.02(17), Florida Administrative Code, on the date of adoption of this Code. 5.

Within the PTV zoning district, the Flow Way System is to be designated as a Rural or Fringe transect zone. Where the Flow Way System runs through a neighborhood, its edges should reflect the character of adjacent transect zones as described in Section 3.01.03.EE.2.p. ii. The continuation of viable agricultural uses in the Countryside and on neighboring properties is a primary design goal for the Countryside. Such uses constitute unique and irreplaceable resources and are major contributors to the economy. The assignment of transect zones must accomplish this goal in a manner consistent with Florida's Right to Farm Act. Once transect zones are assigned, the following limitations apply to agricultural uses and facilities within the PTV: 1) Agricultural uses and facilities in the Fringe transect zone are limited to passive agriculture that is compatible with nearby residential uses such as, but not limited to, horse and cattle pasture and native range. 2) Active agricultural uses must be located only in the Rural transect zone; such uses include crops that require extensive cultivation or spray applications of pesticide and fertilizer and concentrated livestock facilities. 3) Agricultural or utility uses or facilities that may generate noise or odor must be located only in the Rural transect zone. iii. Other Countryside components shall also be located in the Fringe and Rural transect zones, except for community recreation areas which may be located in any transect zone. iv. Open Space components may be located within any of the four (4) neighborhood transect zones, except that Estate Lots may be located in the Fringe transect zone when limited in accordance with the footnote to Table 3-2.

Actual dimensions to be site determined and may be greater or less than expressed minimums given site conditions and specific roadway design requirements. Additional right-of--way will be at the request of the County Engineer or his/her designee. The Board of County Commissioners may modify standard right-of--way widths for Planned Unit Development if the intent of the ordinance is being upheld. D. Determination of Right-of--Way Alignment. 1. The Thoroughfare Network Right-of--Way Protection Plan is intended to indicate transportation corridors, not precise alignments, and is to be based upon the Right- of-Way Protection Map of the Transportation Element of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. Precise alignments will be determined at the time of develop- ment review and/or as a result of detailed alignment studies and surveys. 2. The County Engineer shall conduct, on a continuing basis, alignment studies and surveys required to establish the precise alignment of rights-of--way shown on the Thoroughfare Network Right-of--Way Protection Plan that are not previously estab- lished. The centerline of the precise alignment shall be within six hundred sixty (660) feet of the approximate location shown on the Thoroughfare Network Right-of--Way Protection Plan, except where it can be demonstrated that an alternative centerline alignment is less potentially harmful to the environment, or displaces fewer resi- dences, business or other development, or is more feasible technically or financially. a. Centerline Determination. A thoroughfare centerline shall be determined as follows: (1) For existing roads, the centerline shall be the centerline of the existing right-of--way, as the same is shown in the official records of the County at the time of approval of the Development Order, except where it can be demonstrated that an alternative centerline alignment is less potentially harmful to the environment or displaces fewer residences, businesses or other development, or is more feasible technically or financially. (FIGURE 7-15 -space reserved for future) (2) For planned roads which are shown on the Thoroughfare Network Right- of-Way Protection Plan and which follow section lines and/or quarter or half section lines, the centerline shall be the section line or quarter of half- St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 3 7;49 Adopted August 1, 1990 7.05.03 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE section line in question, except where it can be demonstrated that an alternative centerline alignment is less potentially harmful to the environ- ment or displaces fewer residences, businesses or other development, or is more feasible technically or financially. (3) For planned roads which are shown on the Thoroughfare Network Right- of-Way Protection Plan and which do not follow section lines and/or quarter or half-section lines, the centerline shall be determined by the Board of County Commissioners by adoption of a resolution at a public hearing which must be held no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after approval of a development order which includes a condition making development order approval subject to the centerline determination for the road or roads in question. This hearing shall be preceded by certified mail notice sent by the County Administrator, or his/her designee, at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the hearing to every property owner of records whose land may abut or be crossed by any part of the section of proposed right-of--way. The cost of all surveys required to establish a centerline shall be borne by the County. b. Failure of the Board of County Commissioners to establish a centerline within the time constraints set forth above shall effect a waiver by St. Lucie County of all right-of--way dedication which otherwise may have been imposed on the development for which application has been made. c. Local roads are not included on the Thoroughfare Network Right-of--Way Protec- tion Plan. E. Dedications to Public. 1. All rights-of--way and easements for streets, drainage and utilities shall conform to the requirements of Chapter XIII of this Code. 2. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of County Commissioners, all roads and streets shall be dedicated to the public. Any private roads permitted by the Board of County Commissioners shall be constructed to public road specifications. Construction plan review, construction inspection and required guarantee and surety reviews for private roads shall be as provided by this Code. No arterial or major collector road or street indicated on the future right-of--way maps of the Transportation Element of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan shall be permitted to be private. 3. Private streets shall be permitted within property under single ownership or a property owners' association as defined by Florida law. Where private streets are permitted, ownership and maintenance association documents shall be submitted with all final record plats and the dedication contained on the plat shall clearly dedicate the roads and maintenance to the association without recourse to St. Lucie County or any other public agency. The rights-of--way and related facilities shall be identified as tracts for road purposes under specific ownership on all record plats for the subdivision. St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 3 7;50 Adopted August 1, 1990 DEVELOPMENT DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS 7.05.03 F. Effect of Donation of Property in Computing Future Residential Density on Remaining Conforming Parcels of Land. 1. All land area requested by the County, or the State of Florida, for street or road right-of--way and other related public purposes and which is conveyed or dedicated by donation to the County, or the State, and accepted by the County or the State, after December 1, 1988, may be included in the acreage calculations for the purpose of density determination when the parcel from which the land area was dedicated is proposed for development. G. Effect of Donation of Property When the Donation Creates a Nonconforming Property. 1. All land area requested by the County, or the State of Florida, for street or road right-of--way and other related public purposes and which is conveyed by donation or purchase to the County or the State, and accepted by the County or the State after December 1, 1988, shall be included in acreage calculations for the purpose of lot size determination only if the conveyance would render the remaining property non- conforming as to lot size. The land area conveyed to the County or the State shall not be used to satisfy setback requirements or any other specific land use regulation. H. Prohibiting Dedications of Right-of--Way Resulting in Deprivation of Reasonable Use of Property. 1. In no case shall the County require dedication to an extent which would deprive the owner of all economically beneficial use of the remaining property. I. Right-of--Way Dedication Requirements. 1. General Requirements. a. Any applicant for a Development Order for property abutting a roadway designated on the Thoroughfare Network Right-of--Way Protection Plan shall dedicate sufficient land to account for the applicant's proportionate share of the right-of--way deficiency identified in the Thoroughfare Network Right-of--Way Protection Plan for the proposed development. The County Engineer shall determine the applicant's proportionate share by utilizing the Thoroughfare Network Right-of--Way Protection Plan, the Transportation Element of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, any traffic information available in the County records, and any traffic analysis submitted by the applicant as part of the development order approval process or otherwise. 2. The County Engineer shall only require the applicant to account for the applicant's proportionate share of the right-of--way deficiency identified in the Thoroughfare Network Right-of--Way Protection Plan, if the County Engineer determines, based nn the transportation information available to him, that there is a reasonable connection between the required dedication and the anticipated need for right-of--way created by the new development. Subject to the County Engineer's determination of the appli- St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 3 7;51 Adopted August 1, 1990 7.05.03 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE cant's proportionate share, any right-of--way deficiency shall be made up by dedication of equal amounts of land from each side of the centerline of the right-of--way, except where: a. A drainage canal right-of--way or a railroad right-of--way abuts one (1) side of the existing road right-of--way; or b. More than one-half of the required right-of--way has been provided by the property owner on the opposite site of the right-of--way. 3. Compensation for Dedication. a. The applicant shall be entitled to receive compensation for the value of any land dedicated for right-of--way for roads on the Thoroughfare Network Right-of--Way Protection Plan that is not site related, and consistent with the provisions of Article III, Chapter 1-17, St. Lucie Code and Compiled Laws. b. Compensation shall be given by either granting credits against road impact fees or by payment of cash as determined by the County. Compensation for the dedication of right-of--way shall be valued at one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the most recent assessed value as determined by the County Property Appraiser. In the event that the county cannot provide total compensation by the granting of credits against road impact fees, and in the event the county determines not to pay cash, the applicant shall dedicate an amount of land comparable in value to the percent of compensation provided. 4. Method of Dedication. Once the extent of dedication has been determined by the County Engineer, the applicant shall as a requirement of obtaining and prior to receiving a Development Order approval agree to convey the dedicated right-of--way to St. Lucie County free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Any right-of--way required in conjunction with Site Plan approval shall be conveyed to St. Lucie County within ninety (90) days of the site plan approval or prior to the issuance of the first building permit, whichever comes first. 5. Appeals. Any decision made by the County Engineer pursuant to the provisions of this Section may be appealed to the County Administrator in accordance with Section 11.11.00. J. Clearing and Grading. 1. Unless otherwise addressed through the site plan review process, a developer shall be required to clear all rights-of--way to their full width and to grade all streets and alleys to an approved grade. Minimum width of shoulders shall be six (6) feet. 2. In lieu of clearing and grading as specified a developer may, with approval of the Board of County Commissioners, limit clearing to the width of paved surface and shoulders only and may install said improvements at any location within the right-of--way provided that: a. Area and right-of--way drainage can be accomplished to the satisfaction of the County Engineer. St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 3 7:52 Adopted August 1, 1990 DEVELOPMENT DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS 7.05.03 b. The edge of pavement is located no closer than six (6) feet to the right-of--way line except that where a utility easement is located parallel with and adjacent to the right-of--way line, the pavement edge may abut right-of--way line. c. The improvements serve a limited number of properties only. d. Notation is made on plat and restrictive covenants are recorded stating that the County assumes no responsibility for maintenance of unpaved portion of said right-of--way. K. Private Roads -Maintenance. For private roads, a developer shall submit documents for review and approval which establish a homeowners association to maintain the private roads. The association documents shall be submitted concurrently with all final record plats. The dedication contained on the plat shall clearly dedicate the roads and maintenance to the association without recourse to St. Lucie County or any other public agency. The rights-of--way and related facilities shall be identified as tracts for road purposes under specific ownership.

All new residential developments required to obtain site plan approval located within the Urban Service Boundary and all new non-residential development located within the unincorporated area of St. Lucie County and within the Urban Service Boundary are required to design and construct sidewalks within the right-of--way of all streets and roadways that abut or lie within the perimeter of the property. 2. New sidewalks must be a minimum of six (6) feet wide along streets classified as collectors and arterials. 3. Local street requirements are based upon local needs and existing conditions. Local streets shall have sidewalks five (5) feet wide along one (1) or both sides of the street as deemed necessary during the County's development review process. 4. All new sidewalks shall be constructed of concrete, brick pavers or other materials acceptable to St. Lucie County. All construction must conform to Florida Department of Transportation and/or St. Lucie County standards. a. All sidewalks on internal private roads shall connect with the sidewalks in the abutting public right-of--way. b. The County Engineer may authorize a modification in sidewalk width to protect existing trees or to accommodate existing utilities. In no case shall sidewalks be less than four (4) feet. c. The Development Review Committee (DRC) as part of the site plan review process shall document any exemption of a development project from construct- ing specific sidewalk segments based on physical constraints such as proximity to drainage canals or structures where the construction of the particular sidewalk segment would result in a disproportionate burden on the development. d. Sidewalks shall be constructed around the perimeter of a cul-de-sac. e. All sidewalks and ramps shall conform to the latest requirements published in the most recent edition of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Guidelines. f. The developer will bear the cost for design and construction of the sidewalk. Sidewalks on private property must be maintained by the developer, property owner's association or other entity as approved by St. Lucie County through the operation and maintenance covenants of the community, subdivision association or other recognized management entity. St. Lucie County shall maintain all sidewalks located within County maintained public rights-of--way unless other- wise agreed to through specific maintenance agreements. g. Multi-Use Paths (ten (10) to twelve (12) feet wide) may be required by the County in place of sidewalks when the multi-use path would be part of the adopted area-wide bicycle/pedestrian system or Greenways and Trails plan. St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 3 7:54.3 Adopted August 1, 1990 7.05.04 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE h. The Board of County Commissioners shall authorize total or partial relief from the requirements of sidewalk construction if it finds, after receiving the recom- mendation of the Development Review Committee and based on conditions peculiar to the proposed development, that the proposed sidewalk construction is not in the best interest of the County, the applicant shall pay afee-in-lieu to the County for sidewalk and/or greenways and trails construction. B. Bikeways. 1. All new developments within the unincorporated area of St. Lucie County or within municipalities that access County maintained roads and are constructing or recon- structing roads as part of the development shall be required to design and construct bike lanes. Bike lanes shall be constructed and dedicated to St. Lucie County in accordance with the St. Lucie County Public Works Standards. 2. Bike lanes shall be provided on all internal project streets and roads that are classified as arterials or collectors. Bike lanes shall be constructed in accordance with the St. Lucie County Public Works Standards. 3. Pavement markings and signage shall comply with the standards established by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). 4. Roadways constructed with closed drainage (curb and gutter) shall have afour-foot bike lane. 5. Roadways constructed with open drainage (swale) shall have afive-foot bike lane. 6. The construction of a multi-use path adjacent to an arterial or collector roadway internal or external to the development project does not relieve or otherwise release the requirement for the provision of bike lanes along said streets or roads.

LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE 11.09.03. Vested Rights. A. Introduction. In recognition of the fact that certain land development rights of property owners may be vested with respect to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan and this Code, this Section sets forth a procedure for the determination of vested rights. Any person claiming vested rights to develop property shall make application for a Vested Rights Special Use Permit pursuant to this Section. B. Determination of Vested Rights. 1. An application for a Vested Rights Special Use Permit shall be approved and a Vested Rights Special Use Permit issued if an applicant has demonstrated rights that are vested under the standards of Section 11.09.03.D. Possession of a Vested Rights Special Use Permit shall enable a permittee to complete the development approved under such permit up to and through issuance of appropriate certificates of occupancy, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.09.03.F and subject to compliance with such laws and regulations against which the development is not vested. 2. An application for Vested Rights Special Use Permit may be submitted to the Growth Management Director after the effective date of this Code. 3. An application for a Vested Rights Special Use Permit shall be filed by August 1, 1991. Except as provided in subsection 4 below, failure to file an application within the required period will constitute an abandonment of any claim to vested rights. Judicial relief will not be available unless administrative remedies set forth in this Section are exhausted, including the appeal of a vested rights determination to the Board of County Commissioners. 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 3, above, the Board of County Commis- sioners may, in extraordinary circumstances, allow a property owner to submit an application after the one (1) year deadline where such extension is necessary to avoid undue hardship to the property owner. C. Application for A Vested Rights Special Use Permit. An application for Vested Rights Special Use Permit shall be submitted to the Growth Management Director on forms provided by the Director. After receipt of the application, the Director shall determine whether it is complete within ten (10) working days. Insufficient applications shall be returned to the applicant specifying the deficiencies. The Director shall take no further action on the application unless the deficiencies are remedied. Within twenty (20) working days after receipt of a completed application for a Vested Rights Special Use Permit, the Growth Management Director shall review and evaluate the application in light of all of the criteria in this Section. Based on the criteria, the Director shall approve, approve with conditions or deny the application for Vested Rights Special Use Permit. The determination shall be in writing and shall include findings of fact for each of the applicable criteria.
