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.

May not exceed the size limitations in Table 3-1; ii. Must maintain at least a three-foot side yard except on Rowhause IJots; and iii. Must be separated at least ten (10) feet from the main structure. (4) Building frontage is the percentage of the total width of a lot which is required to be building wall, measured where the front yard ends and the front of the building begins. Far this purpose only, the width of a poste cochere may be counted as building wall even though it has no front or rear wall. (5) Front porches and balconies may extend up to ten (10} feet into front yards provided that walls, screened areas, or railings in the front yard. extend no higher than forty-two (42) inches above the floor of the porch or balcony. Front porches and bala~nies may not extend into the right-of--way. Stoops may extend into front yards provided that walls, screened areas, or railings in the front yard extend no higher than forty-two (42}inches above the floor of the stoop. Stoops may extend into the right-of'-way to the extent specifically provided. by the Board of County Commissioners during the approval. process. (6) Each building must have separate walls to support all loads independently of any walls located on an adjacent lot. Buildings with side-facing windows must provide necessary light and air shafts within their own lot without relying on the side yard of an adjacent Lot. (7) Each. building must have an entrance facing a street or public open space.

LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELC)PMENT CODE (8) Each building on a Mixed-Use Building Lot is required to have an awning, balcony, colonnade, or arcade facing the street. The same requirement applies to Retail Building Lots except that a porch may be substituted. Buildings ion Live/Work Building Lots are encouraged but not required to have one (1) af' these features. Any of ~liese features may extend into the front yard. Extensions of awnings, balconies, colonnades, or arcades over public sidewalks require approval of the County Attorney who may require the property owner to enter into a right; of--way agreement establishing the property owner's sole responsibility for repairing any damage that may result from public maintenance or improvements. When providing a re- quired awning, balcony, colonnade, arcade, or porch, thc~ following design requirements apply: i. Awnings over first-floor doors or windows must have a depth of at least six (6) feet. Back-lit, high-gloss, or plasticized fabric°s are prohibited. ii. Balconies must have a depth of at least five (5) feet and a clear height below of at least ten (10) feet from. the sidewalk. Balconies may have roofs but must be open and n.at air-conditioned. iii. Colonnades and arcades must have a clear width from column to building face of at ].east eight (8) fE~et and a clear height of at least ten (10) feet above the sidewalk. iv. Porches must be at least eight (8} feet deep and sixteen (1S) feet wide. Parches typically have roof's but must be open and n•ot air-conditioned. (9) Minimum and maximum depths of front yards are shown Table 3-1. Fc~r Mixed-Use Building Lots and Retail Building Lots, a portion of the building frontage may be set back up to an additional twenty (20) feet beyond. the maximum front yard depth if this space is constructed. as a courtyard or entryway that is open to the sidewalk. This portion may be up to forty percent (40%) of the actual building frontage and may not be used for parking. (10) On all Mixed-LJse Building Lots and Retail Building Lots, building walls that face streets are required to have between fifteen percent (15%~} and seventy-five percent (75%,} of their area in transparent •windows. In addi- tion, retail stores must comply with the following: i. The ground floor must have transparent storefront windows covering no Less than. seventy-five percent (75%) of the wall area in order to provide clear views of merchandise in stares anal to provide natural surveillance of exterior street spaces. ii. Storefronts must remain unshuttered at night to provide views of display spaces, and are encouraged. to remain lit from within. until 10:00 p.m. to provide security to pedestrians. St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 5 $;76 .Adopted May 19, 2009 ZONING DISTRICTS 3.01.03 iii. Doors allowing public access to streets must be provided at intervals of at least seventy-five (75} feet to maximize street activity, to provide pedestrians with. frequent opportunities to enter and exit buildings, and to minimize any expanses of Inactive wall. To be considered transparent, window and door glass, whether integrally tinted or with applied film, must transmit at least fifty percent (50%) of visible daylight. These requirements do not apply to walls that face alleys or lanes. h. Perrnittecl Uses. Table 3-2 identifies the permitted, conditional and accessory uses f'or each. lot type. Where the upper row of Table 3-2 indicates an entire zoning district, an "S" in the column below indicates that a particular lat type is also allowed to have the same permitted, conditional, and accessory uses that are allowable to any parcel located in that zoning district, in addition to all uses specifically indicated. for that lot type in other columns of Table 3-2.

Street Network Design. (1} New development must accommodate the Future Street Network Plan (see Section 4.04.04.8}. (2} Each neighborhood must provide an interconnected network of streets, alleys ar lanes, and other public passageways. i. Neighborhood. streets must be designed to encourage pedestrian and bicycle travel by providing short routes to connect residential uses with nearby commercial services, schools, parks, and other neighborhood facilities within. the same or adjoining Towns or Villages. Sidewalks and rows of street trees must be provided on both sides of all neighborhood streets. ii. Neighborhood streets should be organized according to a hierarchy based. on function, size, and design speed. Rights-of way are expected to differ in dimension and must meet the appropriate standards for the transect zones in which they are located (see Section 3.01.03.EE2.i). There must be a minimum of two (2) street types within each neighborhood. St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 5 3;g1 Adopted May 19, 2009 3.01.03 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE iii. Neighborhood streets do not have to form an orthogonal grid anal are not required to intersect at ninety-degree angles. ThE~se streets may be curved or bent but must connect to other streets. logs or centerline offsets shall be at least one hundred (100) feet for local streets; this requirement does not apply to alleys. iv. Neighborhoods must accommodate one (1) or more public transit nodes for service to paints beyond the neighborhood. v. All streets must be publicly dedicated. Private streets and closed or gated streets are prohibited, notwithstanding the provisions of Sec- tions 7.05.03.E and 7.10.15. vi. The use of raised. intersections, lateral shifts, and traffic circles are encouraged as alternatives to more conventional traffic calming mea- sures such as speed bumps. vii. A continuous network. of rear and side alleys andlor lanes is desirable to serve as the primary means of vehicular ingress to individual lots. Such networks are mandatory in Core and Center t:ransect zones and for Mixed use, Retail, Live/Work, Apartment, and Rowhouse, and Cottage Lots regardless of transect zones. Alley and rear lane en- trances should align. so as to provide ease of ingress for service vehicles. Internal deflections or variations in the alley/rear lane network are encouraged to prevent excessive or monotonous views of the rear of structures resulting from long stretches of alleys anal. rear lanes. viii. Cul-de-sacs are not permitted except where physical conditions such as freeways provide no practical alternatives for connE~ction for through traffic. Canals may or may not be physical barriers; appropriate crossings will be considered at the time of PTV approval. Each cul-de-sac must be detailed as a close, with landscaping in the center (see Figure 3-9). ix. Street stubs must be provided to adjacent undeveloped land. to ensure an integrated street network is achieved over time, except where the adjacent land is being designated as Countryside through the PTV approval. Stub-out streets to connect to future development will not be considered. cul-de-sacs if they are less than three hundred (300) feet long. St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 5 3;g2 adopted May 19, 2009 ZONING DISTRICTS x. Full access intersections along Indrio Road must be separated by at least six hundred sixty (660) feet. Full access intersections along other roads on the regional. street network must be sepa- rated by at least three hundred thirty (330) feet (see Section 4.04.04.Bj. (3) The average perimeter of all blocks within a neighborhood may not exceed 1,500 feet. The maximum perimeter of any block may not exceed. 2,400 feet. The portion of any block between intersecting streets may not exceed 500 feet without a publicly dedicated pedes- 3.01.03 trian sidewalk or trail providing access to another street. Smaller block sizes are encouraged to promote walkability. An applicant may propose mizior modifications to these block size standards during the PTV rezoning process; the Board of°County Commissioners shall decide, whether to accept, modify; or reject such modifications during the approval process based. on consistency with the goals, objectives and policies of the TVC Element and the applicable site plan. approval standards in Chapter XI of this Corle. (4) The Edge Drive street type is intended. to demarcate the Edge transect zone from the Countryside. Edge Drives are primarily "single-loaded," having private lots on one side while providing visua] and often physical access to the Countryside on the other. Adouble-loaded Edge Drive is limited. to 30°l ref the linear edge; where Edge Drives are double-loaded, a physical line of demarcation (e.g. a split rail fence) must be provided separating private lots from public trails and the Countryside. An applicant may propose to exceed the 30°I; limitation during the PTV rezoning process where there is no significant view of the Countryside that would be lost or where it is deemed to be in the balanced public/private interest while remaining consistent with. the TVC Element. The Board of County Commissioners shall decide whether to accept, modify, or reject a proposed increase in double-loaded Edge Drive during the approval process based on consistency with the goals, objectives and policies of the TVC Element and the applicable site plan approval standards in Chapter XI of this Code. (5) In addition to its network of streets, each PTV shall also include a network of trails or greenways connecting urban, recreational, academic, and. rural. locations. Trails shall be provided along the Flow Way System. and. along remaining canals to provide connections and access to the Countryside. Trails in the Fringe transect zone should be located in the center af` the Fringe zone or adjacent to the Rural zone to provide separation from private St,.

Existing hedgerows, environmentally significant or sensitive lands, tree clusters, flow ways, knolls, and viewsheds from scenic roads or parkways shall be considered for connecting linkages between Towns and Villages. Greenway ].ands shall be interconnected. wherever passible to provide a continuous network of such lands within and adjoining each PTV and. remaining separated. f°rom streets wherevf~r possible. (g} The street desilm requirements of Section 7.05 apply except where they conflict with standards for the TVC Overlay Zone or this zoning district. Further exceptions to the requirements of Section 7.05 maybe authorized by the Board of County Commissioners through approval ol° a regulating plan during the PTV rezoning process. Street Cross-Sections. Street types in all. PTV districts must be assumed in accordance with Section 3.01.03.EE.2.i. The specific design of each street must follow the cross-sections illustrated below for each street type, as adjusted. for the transect zone they pass through in accordance with Section 3.01.03.EE.2.j. The lane widths shown include the width of gutter pans. In the event of direct conflicts, these standards shall supersede other standards i n this Code or in public works manuals.

If levels of contaminants in the sofa such as pesticides, herbicides, and. metals are found to exceed state standards, the area shall be remediated or the site redesigned to accommodate storm water management in another location. 5) Once St. Lucie County creates an institutional structure to facilitate the implementation of the Flow Way System, further approvals must be in accordance with that structure. ii. Maintenance. The long-term operation, management, and mainte- nance of the overall system should be conducted. by a single entity responsible to meet the performance criteria set forth for the regional system. These responsibiaities shall include the following: 1) Provide connectivity between Towns, Villages, and other develop- ments; 2} Manage the health of the aquatic system; 3) Manage the fish and wildlife values; 4} Provide navigability between Towns and Village; and 5) Provide anal. implement mitigation as needed. q. Workforce Housing. To encourage a broad range of family sizes and incomes, each Town and Village must provide a minimum of eight percent (8%~} of the proposed number of dwellings as workforce housing, as defined generally in Section 4.04.06 and. as further defined by St. Lucie County through. ordinances car during the process of approving an individual Planned Town or Village. (1) When. workforce housing will be provided above the required eight pc;rcent (8%}, the total area of its lots may be counted towards the fulfillment of the required amr>unt of Countryside, but may not be located. in either the Rural. or Fringe transect zones. i. Accessory dwellings in neighborhoods znay provide additional work- force housing, but such dwellings may not be counted towards the fulfillment of either the eight percent (8~/c;} workforce housing require- ment or the required amount of Countryside. ii. Accessory dwellings and any workforce housing above the required eight percent (8°I,) that is not counted toward the fulfillment of the required. amount of Countryside will not be required. to comply with the remaining provisions of Section 3.OL03.EE.2.q. St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. v 3:105 Adopted May 19, 2009 3.01.03 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELC?PMENT CODE (2) Workforce housing must be made available on approximately the same schedule as the balance of housing irr each Town or Village; workforce housing may not be deferred until the final phases. i. A specific schedule for the types, location, and phasing of construction. of workforce housing must be proposed. with each PTV application. ii. The Board of County Commissioners shall decide whether to accept or modify this schedule during the approval process based on consistency with the goals, objectives and policies of the TVC Element and the applicable site plan approval standards in Chapter X.I of this Cade. (3) Workforce housing units must be roughly proportional to the tenure types (f'ee simple, condominium, rental) of the market rate homes in each Town or Village. (4) The bedroom mix of workforce housing units must be roughly proportional to the bedroom mix of the market rate homes in each. Town or Village. (5) Workforce housing units are expected to vary from the market rate offerings in each Town or Village due to smaller sizes and fewer interior amenities. However, these variations must not adversely affect the energy efficiency of the workforce units. Workforce units must be complementary an exterior design and materials and must be d spersed throughout each Town or Village. (6) Workforce housing must be sold or rented only to qualified households as defined by St. Lucie County. i. Half' of the required workforce housing must be affoordable to families earning eighty percent (80%) to one hundred percent (10010) of the Area Median Income. The other half must be affordable to families earning one hundred percent (100%) to one hundred twenty percent (120/0) of the Area Median Income. ii. Workforce housing may be offered for sale or rent through agencies operating affi~rdable housing programs that are specifically approved by the St. Lucie County for this purpose. (7) Affordability must be maintained for a period of at least twenty-five (25) years. St. Lucie County will establish standards for maintenance of afford- ability during this twenty-five-year period. i. These standards may include documents being recorded in the public records of St. Lucie County describing the affordability requirements for each workforce housing unit. ii. These standards may include a program that would restrict the resale of individual workforce housing units or the subsequent rental of a purchased unit only to other qualified households as defined by St. Lucie County.

Retail/torkplace (PRW} district provides a specialized. zoning district to accommodate landowners who choose to place retail or workplace land. uses outside a Town or Village in a manner consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the TVC Element. a. The PRW district may only be used on Land designated TVC on the Future Land. Use Map of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. b. PRW proposals must meet the retail standards under Objective 3.1.8 and/or the workplace standards under Objective 3.L10 of the St. Lucie County Comprehen- sive Plan, in addition to the TVC Overlay Zone requirements in Section 4.04 of this Ccfde. Such. requirements and standards shall be applied consistently with. Policies 3.12.5 and 3.1.31(4) of the TVC Element. c. The PRW district can. be used only for one (1) of the following primary purposes: (1) Local Retail: Loeal stores, convenience centers, neighborhood centers, village centers, town centers (or portions thereof) that comply with. the North. St. Lucie County General Retail Development Plan (Figure 3-13 and Objective 3.1.8 of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan}. (2) Interstate Retail: Highway service/warehouse uses along Indrio Road im- mediately west and east of Interstate 95 that comply with the North St. I.~ucie County Cleneral Retail. Development Plan. (Figure 3-13 and Objective 3.1.8 of'the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan}. (3) Mixed-Use Business District: Mixed-use business districts between Inter- state 95 and the Florida Turnpike that comply with the North St. Lucie County General Workplace Plan (Figure 3-1.6 and Objective: 3.1..10 of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan). (4) Transitional Retail: Retail, workplace, and residential uses in the Transi- tional Areas near St. Lucie Boulevard and Kings Highway that comply with the North St. Lucie County General Workplace Plan (Figure 3-16 and Objective 3.1.10 of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan). i. PRW zoning is required for new retail and mixed-use developments and for most new workplace developments. ii. PRW zoning is not required for land indicated on the Transferable Development Value Map (Figure 3-3} as suitable for industrial uses. Land so indicated may also qualify f'or light or heavy industrial zoning districts provided the zoned lands comply with St. Lucie County standards for the Future Land Use category of Industz•ial. d. PRW proposals are encouraged to include mixed-use buildings. The maximum number of residential units is established by the transferable development value of the land pursuant to the Transferable, Development Value Map (Figure 3-3 of St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 5 ;3;115 Adopted May 1.9, 2009 3.01.03 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan), by TDR credits obtained, or by the approval of the Board of County Commissioners for the provision of workforce or affordable housing. e. For purposes of interpreting compliance of a PRW application with the designa- tions of land on Figures 3-13 and 3-16 {see Figure 3-17 below), the Board of County Commissioners may approve retail or workplace development as f'ar as one-quarter-mile beyond the precise designations provided such uses are inte- grated with and accessible through the designated land and are not incompatible with surrounding uses. St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 5 3:1.16 Adopted May 19, 2009 ZONING DISTRICTS 3.01.03 Allowable Street Types in the Specialized. district transect zone (refer to Section 3.01.03.GG.2.g}: • Main Street • Boulevard • Avenue • East/West Street • NorthlSouth Street • Alley Streetscape Standards for the Specialized District transect zone: refer to Section. 3.01.03.GG.L.h. b. Tra.nsect Assignment Concepts. Each proposed regulating plan. must clearly indicate the allocation of transect zones within the entire PRW district to define the character of various portions of the district. The following general guidelines shall be followed when proposing transect zones: (1) A PRW district should generaIly have less intensity where it adjoins existing or planned development with. less intensity. Where adjacent to a busy street or highway, or adjacent to an established. urban area, the transect zones with. greater intensity may adjoin. that highway or urban area. (2} Similar uses should face across streets; changes in transect zones should generally occur along rear or side lot lines rather than along streets. (3) When a PRW will adjoin an existing or approved neighborhood, the PRW should establish similar transect conditions (such. as Center aligning with Center, and Fringe aligning with Fringe). 24•ansect juxtapositions may be approved by St. Lucie County where natural conditions warrant them or where alignment of similar transect conditions would be inappropriate due to existing or proposed. uses on adjacent properties. (4) The Specialized. District transect zone may only be used in the following situations: i. Only fbr Interstate Retail west of I-95 and for Mixed-Use Business Districts as defined in 3.01.03.CxC~.l.c; and ii. Only where it is not possible or desirable to integrate the desired. development type or form with. adjoining uses; anal. iii. Only for that portion of a proposed development where the other transect zones allowable in the PRW district are unsuitable; anal. iv. Only where th.e details proposed within the Specialized District will not interfere with. any of the goals, objectives, and policies of'the TVC Element. c. Lot mopes.

(3) Building frontage is the percentage of the total width of a lot which is required. to be building wall, measured where the front yard ends and the front of the building bel,~ins. For this purpose only; the width of a port,e cochere may be counted as building wall even though it has no front or rear wall.. (4) Each building shall have separate walls to support all loads independently of any walls located. on an adjacent lot. (5} Each building on a Mixed-Use Building Lot, aRetail Building Lot, a I.ive/Work Building Lot, or a Civic .Building I..ot must have; an entrance facing a street or public open space, (6) Each building on a Mixed-Use Building Lot or a Retail Building Lot is required to have <~n awning/marquee, balcony, or colonnade/arcade in. accordance with the design requirements of Section 3.01.03.EE.2.g.(8). (7) Miziimum and maximum depths of front yards are shown Table 3-3. For Mixed-Use Building Lots and Retail Building Lots, a portion of the building frontage may be set back. tip to an additional twenty (20) feet beyond the maximum front yard. depth if' this space is constructed as a courtyard or entryway that is open to the sidewalk. This portion may be up to forty percent (40%) of the actual building frontage and may not be used far parking. e. Permitted Uses. Table 3-4 identifies the permitted, conditional and accessory uses for each lot type. Where the upper row of Table 3-4 indicates an entire zoning district, an "S" in the column below indicates that a particular lot type is also allowed to have the same permitted, conditional, and. accessory uses that are allowable to any parcel located in that zoning district, in addition to all uses specifically indicated for that lot type in other columns of Table 3-4.

Street Netzoork Design. (1) New development must accommodate the Future Street Network Plan (see Section 4.04.04.B). (2) Except in Specialized Districts, each PRW must provide :~n interconnected network of streets, alleys or lanes, and other public passageways: i. Streets must be designed to encourage pedestrian and. bicycle travel by providing short routes to connect residential uses with nearby com- mercial services, schools, parks, and other neighborhood facilities. ii. Streets should be organized according to ahierarchy -based on function, size, and design speed. Rights-of--way are expected to differ in dimen- sion anal must meet the appropriate standards for thE~ transect zones in which they are located (see Section 3.01.03.GG.2.g).

Streets do not have to form an orthogonal grid and are not required to intersect at ninety-degree angles. These streets may be curved or bent but must connect to other streets. Jogs or centerline offsets shall be at least ane hundred (100) feet far local streets; this requirement does not apply to alleys. iv. All streets must be publicly dedicated. Private streets and closed or gated streets are prohibited, notwithstanding the provisions of Sec- tions 7.05.03.E and 7.10.15. v. The use of raised intersections, lateral shifts, anal traffic circles are encouraged as alternatives to more conventional traffic calming mea- sures such as speed bumps. vi. A continuous network of rear and. side alleys and/or lanes is desirable to serve as the primary means of vehicular ingress to individual lots. Such networks are mandatory in Core and Center transect zones. Alley anal. rear lane entrances should align so as to proviele: ease of ingress for service vehicles. Internal deflections or variations in the alleylrear lane network are encouraged to prevent excessive or monotonous views of the rear of structures resulting from. long stretches of alleys and. re<~r lanes. vii. Cul-de-sacs are not permitted except where physical conditions such as freeways provide no practical alternatives for connection fir through traffic. Canals may or may not be physical barriers; appropriate crossings will be considered. at the time of PRW approrval. viii. Street stubs must be provided. to adjacent undeveloped land to ensure an integrated street network is achieved over time, except where the adjacent land is being designated as Fringe.

Provide procedures for transferring development rights using TDR credits. Such transfers will allow continued rural uses of land that is designated TVC by transfer- ring some or all of its development rights to Towns or Villages or to land within the Urban Service Boundary. 4.04.02. Essential TVC Concepts. Four (4) essential concepts for the regulation of land designated TVC are highlighted here: A. TVC Overlay Zone. This section of the code establishes a TVC Overlay Zone whose boundaries are identical to the TVC designation on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan as initially adopted in May 2006. This overlay zone provides general guidance and specific standards that, in conjunction with the remainder of this Code, will carry out the goals, objectives, and policies of the TVC Element. The TVC Overlay Zone contains two (2) sub-zones whose boundary is the Urban Service Boundary in the Comprehensive Plan as it existed in May 2006. The location and approximate boundaries of the TVC Overlay Zone and its sub-zones are shown on Figure 4-10. Comprehensive Plan amendments that make more than incidental adjustments to these boundaries will necessitate changes to this Code. FIGURE 410 -TVG OVERLAY ZONE AND ITS SUB-20PIES LE GEPJ p l . ~,:~,.- . ~ ,,~.. , %;i.', it_ .P ~~~ Y' B. Urban-to-Rural Transect. Towns and Villages have physical forms that vary in character and intensity. An urban-to-rural transect that describes these characteris- tics in existing communities is also ideal for use as the organizing principle for new communities. New Towns, Villages and Planned Unit Developments on land desig- nated TVC are to be planned using the "transect zones" shown on Figure 4-11. These St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 5 4:23 Adopted May 19, 2009 4.04.02 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE transect zones must be delineated on a regulating plan prepared by a developer and submitted to St. Lucie County for consideration as part of rezoning to the PTV (Planned Town or Village -see Section 3.01.03.EE) or PUD (Planned. Unit Development - see Section 4.04.04.E(1)(b)) zoning district.

Urban Service Boundary. The St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan establishes an Urban Service Boundary (USB) which limits the geographic area where the county will provide certain services. The purpose is to restrict the negative impacts of a sprawling low-density development pattern including the fiscal burden placed on service provid- ers by that pattern. About sixty-three percent (63°Io) of the land designated TVC is outside this boundary and the remainder is inside. The TVC Element provides incentives for moving potential development to new Towns and Villages or to certain locations inside the USB. Under certain circumstances the TVC Element allows new development to qualify for urban services even if located outside the USB (see policies under Objective 3.1.2 of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan). D. Transferable Development Rights. The development rights attached to a parcel of land can sometimes be transferred to other parcels. The TVC Element encourages the transfer of density for several purposes: to move potential development to certain locations inside the USB; To encourage continued use of land for rural and open space purposes by transferring potential density off the land; and to allow the accumulation of sufficient development rights to create Towns or Villages. Transferable development values are set in Figure 3-3 of the TVC Element and may be increased by using the multipliers iri the TDR Credit Matrix in Table 3-4 of the TVC Element. See Section 4.04.05. (Ord. No. 11-002, § 4, 12-6-2011) St. Lucie County Lend Development Code Supp. No. 5 4:24 Adopted May 19, 2009 SPECIAL DISTRICTS 4.04.03 4.04.03. Overview of TVC Approval Processes. Development approvals for land designated TVC differ in several aspects from approvals in the remainder of unincorporated St. Lucie County. These processes can be summarized as f"ol lows: A. Owners of five hundred (500? or more acres of land. located outside the USB anal owners of ll0 acres or more of land ].orated. inside the USB may seek approval of a new Town or Village by applying to rezone the land to the PTV (Planned Town or Village) zoning district. See Section 3.01.03.EE. B. Owners of less than five hundred (500) acres of land outside the USB may take any of the following actions: 1. Maintain the land in its natural state or with agricultural uses consistent with its agricultural zoning district and utilize the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR} program to move at least ninety percent (90°l,) of the unused transferable development value from the land to an eligible receiving site. See Section. 4.04.05. 2. Subdivide the land into individual home sites using the transferable development value assigned to that land by applying to rezone the land to the PCS (Planned Country Subdivision) zoning district. See Section 3.OlA3.FF. Upon approval, the TDR program may not be used to transfer density to or from the land. 3. Utilize the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program to move or perma- nently set aside at least ninety percent (90°h) of the transferable development value from the land and subdivide the land into individual home sites using the remaining development rights. See Section 4.04.04.D.3. 4. When. consistent with the retail standards under Objective 3.1.8 of the TVC Element or the workplace standards under Objective 3.1.10 of the TVC Element, apply to rezone the land to the PRW (Planned RetaiUWorkplace) zoning district. See Section 3.01.06.GG. C. Owners of less than one hundred ten (110) acres of land inside the USB may take any of the fol owing actions: 1. Develop or use the land. for residential purposes in accordance with. the TVC Ovc;rlay Zone requirements in Sections 4.04.01-4.04.06 of this Code. 2. Residential development is limited to the maximum residential densities on the Transferable Development Value Map (Figure 3-3 of the TVC Element), except that. a. Density may be increased as a county incentive for providing affordable housing, workforce housing, or mixed-use development. b. For development built in the form of a 'T'own or Village, density may be increased through acquisition of TDR credits from eligible s€:nd'-ng sites. See Sections 3.01.03.EE anal 4.04.05. St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 5 4:25 Adopted May ].9, 2009 4.04.03 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE D. Owners of land of any size inside the USB (Urban. Service Boundary) may place retail or workplace land uses outside a Town or Village by taking either of the following actions: 1. Seek rezoning of the land to the PRW (Planned RetaillWorkplace) zoning district (Section 3.01.06.GG) if the proposed uses are fully consistent with the goals, objectives, anal. policies of the TVC Element, and in particular with the retail standards under Objective 3.1.$ and/or the workplace standards under Objective 3.1.10. Such. proposals must also conform to the TVC Overlay Zone requirements of Section 4.04 of this Code. 2. Owners of property with existing commercial zoning (CO, CN, or C(x) as of August 2$, 2009, are not required to rezone to PRW, but must follow the development standards contained in Section 3.01.03.GG.2 for that zoning district and must otherwise be consistent with the TVC Element. Ala such. proposals, except as necessary to achieve underlying nonresidential use intensity pursuant to Land Use Element Policies 3.1.2.5 and 3.1.3.1(4), must meet the retail standards under Objective 3.1.$ and/or the workplace standards under Objective 3.1.10, in addition to the TVC Overlay Zone requirements in Section 4.04 of this Code. E. Owners of land of any size may initiate, continue, or expand agricultural uses (including forestry and equestrian uses) in accordance with the requirements of the agricultural zoning district that applies to the land. This option is available both inside and outside the USB. See Section 3.01.03 for lists of permitted and conditional agricultural uses in each agricultural zoning district. (Ord. No. 11-002,~~' 4, 12-6-2011) 4.04.04. TVC Specific Standards. A. Applicability of TVC Specific Standards. 1. The standards in Section. 4.04.00 apply to land use and land development within. the TVC Overlay Zone regardless of zoning designations, except as specifically provided. 2. The provisions of the remainder of this Code apply except where modified by this TVC Overlay Zone, by the PTV, PCB, or PRW zoning districts, or by thf~ St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. B. Regional Street Network. 1. The TVC Element of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. established in May 2006 a Future Street Network Plan that includes street improvements and new streets to be completed by the year 2030, as depicted on Figure 4-12. St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 5 4:26 Adopted May 19, 2009 SPECIAL DISTRICTS 4.04.04 b. Upon approval of this option, urban services may be extended at the property owners' expense to lots that use the remaining transferable development value despite being located outside the USB. c. The new residential lots must be placed on one (1} contiguous portion of the land and to the extent possible must provide an interconnected street network as described in Section 3.OlA3.EE.2.k and water management in the farm of an interconnected system consistent with and connected to the Flow Way System as described in Section 3.01.03.EE.2.p. E. Residential Subdivisions Inside the Urban Service Boundary. 1. Residential subdivisions may be created inside the Urban Service Boundary (USB} on land designated TVC only by following one (1} of these two approaches: a. As part of a new Town or Village, using the PTV zoning district (see Section 3.01.03.EE}. Planned Towns or Villages inside the USB require less acreage and a lower pex°centage of land to be designated. as Countryside, than. for a Town or Village outside the USB (see Section 3.01.03.EE.2.b). b. Outside a Town or Village but still inside the USB, using the transferable development value assignc;d to a parcel of land, plus any TDR credits acquired and/or any density bonuses that St. Lucie County may provide for affordable housing, workforce housing, or mixed uses. (1} If the land is not currently zoned to allow the desired density, the land must be rezoned to a suitable plannc;d zoning district (f'or instance, see Sections 3.01.03..BB and 7.01..00, the standard. planned unit development category and associated PUD regulations}. The rezoning application and subsequent site plan approval applications must be accompanied by a regulating plan that includes the information required by Section 3.01.03.EE.3.b(4) and that identifies appropriate transect zones, lot types, and street types to achieve development forms consistent with the TVC Element. The required Center, General., anal Edge transect zone percentages set fo~•th in Section. 3.01.03.EE.2.c(3} for Villages would apply to such land, unless the parcel is less than thirty-two (32) acres. The five-acre minimum parcel size for the standard PUD c.ategary would not apply to such an application. (2} Such residential subdivisions must provide an interconnected street net- work as described in Section 3.01.03.EE.2.k and water management in the form of an interconnected system consistent with and connected, if possible, to the Flow Way System as described. in Section. 3.01.03.EE.2.p. 2. Residential development on land desiJ,mated TVC that is inside the Urban Service Boundary (USB) is afforded the following special allowances: a. Density may be increased in all proposed development inside the USB through acquisition. of TDR crczdits from eligible sending sites (see Section 4.04.05}. St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 5 4:29 fldopted May 19, 2009 4.04.04 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE b. Transferable development rights are awarded higher multipliers when the receiving site is located inside the USB. F. Standards for New Residential Building's. The following standards apply to new dwellings on pre-existing lots in the TVC Overlay Zone; to all dwellings built in new subdivisions zoned PTV, PCS, and. PRW; and to all dwellings in new subdivisions approved pursuant to 4.04.04.D and 4.04.04.E: 1. Detached. garages must always be located in the rear of the lot. Detached garages must be accessed from the alley or lane except where no alley or lane is present. 2. If'no alleys or lanes are present, garage doors on attached garages should face the side or the rear rather than the front and be accessed. from a driveway that does not exceed ten (10) feet wide except at the garage entrance. Where space does not permit aside- or rear-facing garage door, any front-facing garage doors must lre placed at least twenty (20) feet behind the principal plane of the building frontage anal each door is limited to one (1) car width. {~. Other Non-Residential Uses. 1. Retail and workplace land uses may be placed in a Town or Village through approval of PTV zoning (see Section 3.01.03.EE). 2. Retail and workplace land uses may also be placed outside a Town or Village when consistent with the retail standards under Objective 3.1.$ of the TVC Element or the workplace standards under Objective 3.1.10 of the TVC Element, or as necessary to achieve underlying nonresidential use intensity pursuant to Land Use Element Policies 3.1.2.5 and 3.1.3.1(4). PRW zoning (see Section 3.01.06.GG) is required except on land indicated on the Transferable Development Value Map (Figi;we 3-3) as suitable for industrial uses; land so indicated may also qualify for light or° heavy industrial zoning districts as if the land were designated Industrial on the Future Land Use Map of thy: St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. PRW zoning is also not required for property with existing commercial zoning (CO, CN, or CG) as of August 2$, 2009, but commercial. development on such property must fol ow the development standards contained in Section 3.01.03.GG.2 and be consistent with the 3`VC Element. If the owner of any such existing commercially-zoned property elects to seek approval for commercial. development without PRW rezoning, then the development application shall follow the submittal requirements, review procedures, and approval standards as provided for Major Site Plans under Chapter XI of this Code.

Alternative Mitigation Compliance Methods. A complete Environmental Assess- ment shall. be required for the following mitigation methods, therefore a tree survey shall not be required unless specifically requested by the Public Works Director, or lis/hc;r designee. 1. If a site is consistent with the following minimum standards, twenty-five percent (25°lc) of the existing native upland habitat can bf~ preserved on site to take the place of all. tree mitigation requirements. a. The habitat preservation area shall not measure le.,s than fifteen (15) percent of a total site, unless it is proven to the satisfaction to the Public Works Director, or his/her designee, that fifteen percent (15%) of the total site would prevent reasonable deve].opmerEt of the site, then the preserve area may measure less than fifteen percent (15~I) of the site, but shall measure no less than fifty (50} acres; b. The habitat preservation area shall. be interconnected with adjacent habitat preserve areas in neighboring parcels where applicable, to facilitate appropriate management and to maximize natural. resources values; St. Lucie County band Development Code Supp. No. 5 6:12 Adopted May 19, 2009 RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS 6.00.05 c. Habitat preservatian areas shall minimize edge to interior ratio, and shall have no minimum dimension less than one hundred (100) feet, and shall not exceed a length to width. ratio of three to one (3:1) unless exceeding this ratio allows far superior connections with adjacent parcels or other environmental benefits. d. The habitat preservation area shall be platted in its entirety as separate tract or tracts. e. The habitat preservatian area must be covered. by a Conservation Easement dedicated to, or made in favor of, the County. f'. The habitat preserve area shall have "Preserve Area Management and Monitoring Plan" approved by the County in order to ensure the continued, adequate, and appropriate management of the site anal. the continued protection of the site from adverse impacts. The Preserve. Area Management Plan shall be recorded. irr the public records of the County arzd shall at a minirnu.m identify the area covered by the plan, its ownership, and assignment of management and maintenance responsibility. g'. If the preserve area is identified in either the St. Lucie County Native Habitat Inventory or the St. Lucie County Greenway's and Trails Master Plan, then all or portions of the above outlined guidelines may be waived with the approval of the County Commission. h. If the area proposed for preservation does not qualify as high quality native habitat, a restoration plan may be submitted including one hundred percent (100%) exotic removal, a planting plan incorporating canopy, sub-canopy, and ground covc;r species. Ninety percent (90°lc) survival rate will be required of the plant materials and shall. be guaranteed. as part of the "Preserve Area Management and Monitoring Plan". 2. Purchase the required. amount of remaining mitigation, using the credit ratio outlined in Table 3, and facilitate the installation, by a qualified. professional, on an approved. publicly managed site, including Environmen- tal Significant Land. properties, parks, road right-of-ways, or other public foci ity, or delivery to the St. Lucie County nursery progr<rm; or 3. The purchase of land. ofI'the subject parcel, elsewhere in St. Lucie County on a property identified in either the St. Lucie County Native Habitat Inven- tory or the St. Lucie (~`ounty Greenway's and Trails Master Plan, to be given to St. Lucie County for ownership and management.

(Inspection required.] As part of the issuance of any Final Development Order/Permit requiring the mitigation of trees as set forth in this Code, the property owner shall submit to an inspection of the planted/relocatedJpreserved materials eighteen (18) months after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or other use authorization as may be granted by the Public Works Director, or his/her designee for the County. If it is determined that the planted/relocated preserved trees are dead, diseased or other- wise not in compliance with. the provisions of this Code and the oril~inal approved mitigation plan, the property owner shall be provided notice and directed to correct any observed deficiencies and replace all noncompliant trees within sixty (60) days. Failure to maintain all required mitigation shall be grounds for referral to the Code Enforcement Board for appropriate enforcement actions. The Public Works Director, or his/her designee is authorized to include within the building permit fee, adequate charges to cover the costs of enforcing the requirements of this section. E. Supplementttl Requirements. The Public Works Director, or his/her designee may impose supplemental requirements as a Special condition of a Vegetation Removal Permit when necessary to carry out the intent of this Section.

In all. areas of special flood hazard where base flood elevation data has be<~n provided, as set forth in Section 6.05.01(D) or Section 6.05.07(B)(12), the fallowing provisions are required: A. Residential Construction: New construction and substantial improvement of any residential building shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above base flood elevation. Should solid foundation perimeter walls be used to elevate a structure, openings sufficient to facilitate the automatic equalization of hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls shall be provided in accordance with standards of Section 6.05.03(C). B. Nonresidential Construction: New construction and substantial improvement of any commercial, industrial or other nonresidential building (or manufactured home) shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above the level of the base flood elevation. Buildings located in all A-Zones may be floodproofc>d in lieu of being elevated provided that all areas of the building below the required elevation are watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and use structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrody- namic loads anal. the effects of buoyancy. A registered professional Engineer or architect shall certify that the standards of this subsection are satisfied. Such certification shall be provided to the Floodplain Administrator as set forth in Section 6.05.07(B)(11). C. Elevated Brci.ldirzgs: New construction and substantial improvements of elevated buildings that include fully enclosed areas formed by foundation and other exterior walls below the base flood elevation shall be designed to preclude finished living space and designed to allow for the entry and exit of floodwaters to auto;natically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls. 1. Desilms for complying with this requirement must either be certified by a professional engineer or architect ar meet or exceed the following minimum criteria: (a) Provide a minimum of two (2) openings having a total net area of not less than one (1) square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding; St. Lucie County L<.md Development Code Supp. No. 5 6:54 :Adopted May 19, 2009 RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS 6.05.03 (b) The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one (1) foot above grade; and, (c) Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves or other coverings or devices provided they permit the automatic flow of floodwaters in both directions. 2. Access to the enclosed. area shall be the minimum necessary to allow for parking of vehicles (garage door) or limited storage of maintenance equipment used in connection with the premises (standard exterior door) or entry to the living area (stairway or elevator); and 3.

Floodways: Located within areas of special. flood hazard established. in Section. 6.05.01(D), are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodwa~~ is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters which carry debris, potential projectiles and has erosion potential, the following provisions shall apply: 1. Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improve- ments and other developments unless certification (with supporting technical data) by a registered professional engineer is provided demonstrating that encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during occurrence of the base flood discharge. 2. If Section 6.05.03(E)(1) is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improve- ments shall comply with all applicable flood. hazard reduc pion provisions of Section 6.05.02 through Section 6.05.06. 3. Prohibit the placement of manufactured homes (mobile homes), except in an existing manufactured h.o.mes (mobile .homes) park or subdivision.. A replacement manufactured home may be placed on a lot in an existing manufactured home park or subdivision provided the anchoring standards of sectior.~. 6.05.02(A)(2) and the elevation standards of Section 6.05.03(A) and the encroachment standards of Section 6.05.03(E)(1) are met. F. Coastal High Hazard Areas {V ZONES): Located within the areas of special flood hazard established. in Section. 6.05.01(D), are areas designated as coastal high hazard areas. These areas have special flood hazards associated with wave wash; therefore, the following provisions shall apply: 1. All new construction and substantial improvements shall be located landward of the reach of the mean high tide. 2. The bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member of the lowest floor (excluding pilings or columns) is elevated to no lower than the base flood elevation whether or not the structure contains a basement. 3. All buildings or structures shall be securely anchored on pilings or columns. 4. All. pile and column foundations anal. structures attached thereto shall be anchored to resist flotation, collapse, and lateral movement due to the effect of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all building components. Water loading values shall equal or exceed the base flood. Wind loading values shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.00.00 of" this ["ode. 5. A registered professional engineer or architect shall certify that the design, specifications and plans for construction are in compliance with provisions contained in Sections 6.05.03(F)(2), (3) and (,4). 6. The Floodplain Administrator shall obtain and maintain. a record of the elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member of the lowest floor (excluding pilings and columns) of all new and substantially improved structures. St. Lucie County Land Development Code Supp. No. 5 6:5g Adopted May 19, 2009 RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS 6.05.03 7. Provide that all new construction and substantial improvements have the space below the lowest floor either free of obstruction ar constructed with nonsupport- ing breakaway walls, open. wood lattice-work, or insect screening intended to collapse under wind and water loads without causing collapse, displacement, or other structural damage to the elevated portion of the building or supporting foundation system. For the purpose of this section, a breakaway wall shall have a design safe loading resistance of not less than 10 and na more than 20 pounds per square foot. Use of breakaway walls which exceed a design safe loading resistance of 20 pounds per square fact {either by design or when so required bay State of Florida or local codes) may be permitted only if a registered professional engineer or architect certifies with supporting technical data that the designs proposed meet the following conditions: {a) Breakaway wall collapse shall. result from water load. less than that which would occur during the base flood; and (b) The elevated portion of the building and supporting foundation system shall not be subject to collapse, displacement, or other structural damage due to the effects of wind. and water loads acting simultaneously on all building components (structural and nonstructural}. The water loading shall be those values associated with the base flood. The wind loading values shall be those required by applicable Florida or local, if more stringent than those of the State of Florida, building standards. {c} Such enclosed space shall. be useable solely for parking of vehicles, building access, or storage. Such space shall not be finished, partitioned into multiple rooms, ar temperature-controlled. 8. There shall be no fill used. as structural support. Limited non-compacted fill may be used. around. the perimeter of a building f'or landscaping aesthetic purposes provided the fill will wash out from storm surge, (thereby rendering the building free of obstruction) prior to generating excessive loading forces, ramping effects, or wave deflection. The Floodplain Administrator shall approve design plans for landscapinglaesthetic fill only after the applicant has provided an analysis by an engineer, architect, axldlor soil scientist, which demonstrates with supporting technical data that the following factors have been fully considered: {aj Particle composition of fill material does not have a tendency f'or excessive natural compaction; (b) Volume and distribution of fill will not cause wave deflection to adjacent properties; and (c) Slope of fill will not cause wave runup or ramping. 9. There shall. be no alteration of sand dunes or mangrove stands which would increase potential flood damage. 10.

Non-residential developments under 6,000 square feet and inside the Urban Service Boundary are generally presumed to be exempt from this sidewalk requirement particularly in areas not expected to generate pedestrian traffic. Exceptions to the presumed exemption include but are not necessarily limited to locations where connections can be made to existing sidewalks, or in locations on primary routes to schools or public transit. In any case, the design of proposed development should accommodate future sidewalk connection and future pedestrian traffic to and within the proposed development. 2. New sidewalks must be a minimum of six (6) feet side 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 developme~~it review process. 4. All new sidewalks shall be constructed of concrete, brick pavers crr other materials acceptable to St. Lucie County.

All sidewalks on intc;rnal private roads shall connect with the sidewalks in the abutting public right-of-way. b. The Country 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 steal] document any exemption. of a development project from construct- ing specific sidewalk segments based on physical constraints such as proximity to drainage cana]s 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. £ The developer will bear the cost for design and construction of the sidewalk.

Pavement markings anal signage shall comply with the standards Established by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Manual o~~ Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). 4. Roadways constructed with closed drainage (curb anal. 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 t,o 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. C. Bicycle Racks. 1. Bicycle racks shall be required for all non-residential development unless it can. be demonstrated that bicycle traffic would not have access to the property per the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.2.1.1.
