C. Urban Seruace Bo-~nda~+• 'Phe St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plari eatablishes an
Urban Service Boundary (USB) which limits the geographic area where the county will
provide certain services. The purpose is to restrict the ~egative impacts of a spxawling
tow-density development pattern including the fiscal burden placed an service pzovid-
ez~ by that pattern. About sixty-three (63) percent of the land within the ~esig~a~e~
TVC Overlay Zone is outside this boundary and the remainder is inside. ~o
~
D, Transferable DeUelopment Rights. The development rights attached to a parcel of land
can sometimes be transferred to other parcels. The TVC~ ~exlay Zone
encourages the transfer af density for several purposes: to move potential development
to certai.n locataons inaide the USB; To encourage continued use of land far rural and
open space purposes by transferring patential density off the Zand; and to allow the
accumulativn of sufficient development rights to create 'lbwns or Villages. '1~'ansfer-
able development values are ` ' L'' ~ ~ ~' `~ 'Mrr`
~ equivalent tfl the residentiai density allacated on the F~tuxe L,a.~ad Use Map.
Densi bonuses are not permitted outside the USB. See Section 4.04.05.
4.04.03. Overview of TVC Approval Processes.
Development approvals for land ~ig~a~e~ w7thin the TVC Overlay Zone di£fer zn severai
aspects from approvals in the remainder of unincorporated St. Lucie County. 'I'tiese processes
can be summax'ized as follows:
A Uwners of 110 acres
or more of land located inside the USB may aeek approval of a new 15wn or Village by
applyiing to rezone the land to the PTV (P~anned Zbwn or V'illage) zon~ing district. See

increased incidents of traffic accidents, personal injury, and ~roperty damag or
