AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 1-20 "TRAFFIC" OF
THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY,
FLORIDA, BY ADDING SECTION 1-20-7 "ONE WAY
ROADS"; FURTHER PROVIDING FOR THE DESIGNATION

WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made
the following determinations:
1. Rosarita Avenue is an unimproved roadway extending east from 25th Street to
the Fort Pierce Farms Water Control District Canal No. 1. The right-of-way for this corridor
is 25 feet wide and is aligned parallel to the north side of the South Florida Water
Management District C-25 Canal in the Paradise Park Subdivision.
2. On Rosarita Avenue, physical constraints, including the limited width of the
right-of-way, the location of Florida Power & Light transmission and distribution poles and
the C-25 canal bank make it such that atwo-lane road cannot be constructed.
3. Limited sight distance at the intersection of Rosarita Avenue and 25th Street,
just north of the C-25 Canal bridge crossing, greatly restricts safe turning movements for
westbound traffic entering onto 25th Street.
4. Construction is presently underway to improve the stormwater drainage system
in Paradise Park. This project includes roadside swales along the north side of Rosarita
Avenue that will result in additional constraints on the right-of-way precluding two-way
traffic.
5. Section 316.008(1)(d), Florida Statutes, provides that counties may designate
particular highways or roadways for use by traffic moving in one direction.
Underlined passages are added. -1- passages are deleted.
6. It is in the best interest of the citizens of St. Lucie County, Florida, that
Rosarita Avenue between 25t" Street and North 17t" Street be designated as a one way
(eastbound only) roadway.
