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 a page-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.
Tn 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 "0 C" 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.

is adequate for the proposed use or that parking may be shared by
proximate uses that operate at different times or on different days.
b. Reserved parking spaces may be provided, in lieu of paved spaces, subject to
Section 7.06.02(C) of this Code.

3. On Street Parkinb~. In Planned Unit Developments, on street parking may be used
so long as the road on which the on-street parking is proposed lies entirely within

committed to a Planned Unit Development must be for use as common open
space, which may include, parks, recreation areas, bicycle and pedestrian
paths and facilities, marinas, swimming beaches, common open space,
common landscaping and planting areas, stormwater retention areas, or
other areas of public purpose or use. Common open space may not include
street, road or drainage rights-of--way, above ground utilities, or parking
areas.
A minimum of fifteen percent (15~/~) of any existing native upland habitat on
the property must be preserved in its natural condition as part of the
Supp. No. 8 St. Lucie County Land llevelopment Code
7:9 Adopted May 19, 2009
7.01.03 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
required thirty-five percent (35010) common open space. For each acre of
preserved native habitat above the required minimum fifteen percent (15'%)
that is preserved in its original state, credit shall be given at a rate of one
hundred fifty percent (150%) per acre towards the remaining common open
space requirement.
All areas to be dedicated for common open space shall be identified as part
of the Preliminary Development Plan for the Planned Unit Development.
Areas that are floodways, lakes, wetlands, and stormwater retention areas
may be applied to satisfy the total common open space requirement, subject
to the requirement that fifteen percent (15"/0) of any existing native habitat
on the property must be included as part of the required thirty-five percent
(35`%~~) common open space. As part of the Final Planned Unit Development
submission process, the developer or petitioner for the Planned Unit
Development shall provide for one (1) of the following:
1. The advance dedication. of all common open space to a public, or
acceptable private, agency that will, upon acceptance, agree to main-
tain the common open space and any buildings, structures or improve-

shall be completed prior to the issuance of any building permits,
including land clearing, for any portion of the Planned Unit Develop-
ment; or
2. A phased conveyance of the land to a public or acceptable private
agency that will, upon acceptance, agree to maintain the common open
space and any buildings, structures or improvements that have been
placed on it. The schedule for the phased conveyance of any such lands
to be used for common open space shall be a specific condition of
approval for the Planned Unit Development.
3. The identification of restrictive easement or plat dedication that would
serve to create a perpetual conservation or use restriction easement
over those portions of the properties that are to be kept as open space
meeting the requirements of this section.
b. No parcel of land identified for use as a park or common open space shall be
less than one (1) contiguous acre, and all such areas shall be physically part
of the Planned Unit Development.
c. Areas provided or reserved to meet any other environmental preservation or
protection requirement of this code or other lawful regulatory authority may
be counted towards the overall common open space requirement, provided
that the common open space meets the requirements of this Code.
J. Setbacks from Agricultural Laud. Planned Unit Developments adjacent to land used
for agricultural purposes, or designated for agricultural use on the Future Land Use
St. Lucie County Land Development Cody
Supp. No. 8 7:10 Adopted May 19, 2009
DEVELOPMENT DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS 7.01.03
Map of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, shall provide setbacks from the
agricultural land sufficient to protect the function and operation of those uses from the
encroachment of Urban activities or uses.
K. Development Desigrz. Planned Unit Developments in all Future Land Use Categories
are required to design the project in a manner to avoid, to the extent reasonable,
impacts to wetlands, native vegetative communities and protected species habitats.
L. Phasi~zg.
1. A Planned Unit Development may be developed in more than one (1) stage or
phase.
2. If a Final Development Site Plan approved by the Board of County Commission-
ers is to be developed in stages or phases, each successive phase shall be
constructed and developed in a reasonably continuous fashion. No more than two
(2) years shall elapse between the completion of any stage or phase, and the final
stage or phase shall be completed within ten (10) years of the date of Final
Development Site Plan approval. Extensions of the above requirements are
subject to approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Unless otherwise
amended by the Board of County Commissioners through the Final Development
Site Plan review process, the following sequence of development must be adhered
to:
a. One (1) or more major recreation facilities and other major amenities,
planned to serve the entire development, shall be completed or adequate
security posted prior to the issuance of building or mobile home permits of
more than forty percent (40~/~), or other percentage as determined by the
Board to be appropriate based on circumstances that include the size of the
project and the proposed phasing schedule, of the total number of authorized
dwelling units. Recreation facilities or facilities and other amenities planned
to serve one (1) phase of amulti-phased development shall be completed or
appropriate security posted prior to issuance of building or mobile home
permits or the recording of any final plat within that phase.
b. No commercial facility shall be permitted prior to the completion of at least
forty percent (4094) of the total number of authorized dwelling units; and
c. For Planned Unit Developments to be constructed in stages or phases, the
net density of an individual stage or phase may vary from the approved
Final Site Plan subject to the requirements in Section 11.02.05.
M. Signs.
1. Signs within any Planned Unit Development, less than or equal to two hundred
(200) acres in overall area, shall comply with the provisions of Chapter IX of this

approval of a Planned Unit Development upon compliance with more stringent
sign regulations in order to ensure design consistency throughout the proposed
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 8 7:11 Adopted May 19, 2009
7.01.03 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
development, to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses, to ensure
public safety and prevent public harm, and to ensure compliance with the St.
Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
2. Signs within any Planned Unit Development, greater than two hundred (200)
acres in overall area may submit a general signage plan for the Planned Unit
Development, as part of the Final Planned Unit Development Plan submissions.
The general signage plan shall be based on the general dimension and size
standards applicable to other similarly designated residential property; provided,
however, that the Board of County Commissioners may condition approval of a
Planned Unit Development upon compliance with more stringent sign regula-
tions in order to ensure design consistency throughout the proposed development,
to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses, to ensure public safety and
prevent public harm, and to ensure compliance with the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan.
