Land Development Regulations
Chapter IV, Special Districts, Sections 4.04.00 through 4.04.06, TVC -Overlay Zone
(Towns, Villages, Countryside), of the Land Development Code is proposed to be
amended as follows:
4.04.00 TVC -OVERLAY ZONE (TOWNS, VILLAGES, COUNTRYSIDE)
4.04.01 PURPOSE AND INTENT
(no changes]

Four essential concepts for the regulation of land designated TVC are highlighted here:
A. TVC OVERLAY ZONE
(no changes]
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 characteristics in existing communities is also ideal for use as the
organizing principle for new communities. New Townsl a+~ Villages and Planned Unit
Developments on land designated NC are to be planned using the "transect zones" shown on
Figure 4-11. These 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.

block between intersecting streets may not exceed 500 feet without a publicly
dedicated pedestrian sidewalk or trail providing access to another street. Smaller block
sizes are encouraged to promote walkability. An applicant may propose minor
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 consistencv with the coals,
obiectives and policies of the TVC Element and the applicable site plan approval
standards in Chapter XI of this Code.
(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 visual and often physical access to the Countryside on the other. A
double-loaded Edge Drive is limited to 30% of 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% 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 consistencv with the goals, obiectives and policies of the TVC Element and the
applicable site plan approval standards in Chapter XI of this Code.
