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 usei 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.

be arranged for convenient and safe ingress and egress by motor truck and
trailer.
4. All loading spaces shall be paved.
(Ord. No. 2013-44, § A, 12-17-13)
7.06.03. Relief.
A. Administrative Relief. The Planning and Development Services Director may grant
administrative relief from the parking standards or the required amount of all weather surface
for off-street parking and vehicle use areas including vehicular use areas (Small Business < six
thousand (6,000) square feet) based upon a written request for such administrative relief and
an analysis submitted by the applicant. The analysis must demon:;trate that the numeric
amount of required parking or the required amount of all weather surface for off-street parking
and vehicle use areas is unnecessary or not practical to construct because of conditions that are
unique and peculiar to the site or conditions that would result in unnecessary hardship for the
owner, lessee or occupant as opposed to mere inconvenience and that the conditions are created
by the regulations of this Code and not by the actions of the property owner or applicant,
environmental considerations, such as micrositing for large trees, for mass transit consider-
ations, such as providing transit stops in an area to be served with mass transit services, and
superior design considerations determined by exceeding the minim~zm requirements of the
Land Development Code. The County Engineer shall review the request for administrative
relief from the all-weather parking surface requirements and provide the Planning and
Development Services Director with a written recommendation based on the standards set out
in this section. The County Engineer may require the applicant to provide an engineered
solution to any adverse impacts that the request for a waiver may create. If it is determined
by the Planning and Development Services Director that it is not possible to meet the numeric
or parking stall width parking requirements of this Code due to the si;:e or configuration of the
existing parcel, the Planning and Development Services Director may grant administrative
relief, subject to determining consistency with the Standards of RE.view set out in Section
10.01.02, to the parking stall width or the number of parking spaces to be required. Any such
administrative relief shall be specific to the parcel or property in question and shall be the
minimum necessary to address the particular problem. Any such administrative relief shall
include specific findings of fact and shall be issued in a manner and firm that is acceptable to
the County Attorney. Any determination for relief that is madE~ by the Planning and
Development Services Director shall be recorded in the public records of St. Lucie County.
B. Context Sensitive Parking. Within downtowns and walkable scale communities having
mixed uses, on-street parking, and which may also include parkin;; structures or common
parking lots, on-site parking for each building may not be required when all of the required
parking for the land use proposed in the building is provided within aix hundred (600) feet of
the building, and is not dedicated to another land use, except that sh~ired parking agreements
permitted by Section 7.06.02(B)(3) shall be allowed. Parking requirements for mixed use
downtown and walkable scale mixed use areas shall be computed for general retail land uses
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 10 7;74 Adopted May 19, 2009
DEVELOPMENT DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS 7.06.03
using the shopping center parking standard. All other land uses and retail land uses that have
parking rates that exceed the shopping center rate shall have their parking requirements
computed at their parking generation rates and added to the basic retail shopping center
requirement. Reductions may be made for land uses that enter into shared parking agree-
ments. The total parking requirement must be met by a combination of on-street parking,
o$=site common parking facilities, shared parking (if used), and on-site parking. All on-street
parking proposed within a public right-of--way shall require the iss aance of aright-of--way use
permit by the County Engineer prior to any land clearing or construction of pavement
marking, whichever comes first. This section does not authorize on-street parking on public
right-of--way but only gives credits for the reduction of on-site parking when properly approved
on-street parking is available, as provided herein. The total parking requirement derived as
required herein may be reduced by up to twenty percent (20%) by the Planning and
Development Services Director for equivalent facilities that provide for transit access and
sheltered transit stops, park-and-ride facilities, remote parking with motorized access between
parking and destination, and/or bicycle parking and movements, or other modes of ground
transportation not included herein (e.g., golf cart paths).
C. Combined Properties Used for Ofj~Street Parking. Two (2) or more owners or operators of
buildings, structures, or uses requiring off-street parking facilities may make collective
provisions for such facilities, provided that the total of such parking spaces when combined or
used together shall not be less than the sum of the requirements computed separately, and
provided further that no off-site parking space shall be greater than six hundred (600) feet
from any building it is designated to serve.
D. Shared Of~Street Parking Areas. Where, in the determination of the Planning and
Development Services Director, the required number of spaces is excessive for a specific
building or facility requiring site plan approval, and the owner of the property has submitted
to the Planning and Development Services Director an enforceable restriction of use, the
Planning and Development Services Director may authorize the use of shared parking
facilities effectively reducing the number of required parking spaces. In no case however, shall
less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the required off-street parking spaces be provided. The
purpose of this provision is to allow land uses located within a unified development or on
adjacent lots to enter into agreements to use parking spaces at different times of day which
correspond to their different hours of operation. When shared parking agreements are applied
in approving site plans, no land uses can be permitted that exceed the maximum allowable
parking demand at the prescribed times of day, even though the initial land uses may
eventually be proposed to be changed. Additional parking may have to be constructed in order
to accommodate new land uses proposed to be operating simultaneously during the day or
evening. Restrictions on the parking generation rates and times of use of the affected buildings
shall be required to be recorded in the public records of St. Lucie County, Florida, and may be
in the form of restrictions contained within a development order or development agreement, or
in such other form as the Planning and Development Services Director may prescribe with the
approval of the County Attorney required for all standard and special forms used for this
purpose.

Supp. No. 10 7:75 Adopted May 19, 2009
7.06.03 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT C()DE
E. Provision of Reserved Parking Areas. Where, in the determination of the Planning and
Development Services Director, the required number of required parking and loading spaces
is excessive for a specific use, the owner or agent may substitute land:~caping in lieu of paving
provided said areas are reserved for future parking and loading should the County find those
spaces are needed, and further provided:
a. The owner of the land upon which such parking is being reserved shall enter into a
written agreement with St. Lucie County which shall include ~~ schematic portrayal as
to how the required parking and loading areas can be provided with the County, to be
filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court, with enforcement running to the County
ensuring that the reserved parking and loading area shall ne~~er be encroached upon,
used, sold, leased, or conveyed, for any purpose except in conjunction with the building
or use which the reserved parl~ing area serves so long as the off=street parking facilities
are required.
b. The owner of the land upon which such reserved parking anti loading area is located
agrees to bear the expense of recording the agreement which shall bind his/her heirs,
successors, or assigns.
c. The written agreement shall be voided by the County if the reserved parking and
loading area is converted to usable parking area or if the reserved parking area is no
longer required.
d. No handicapped parking areas may be included within a res~:rved parking area.
