Draft for 5/30106 public hearing (showing changes from 5/15f06 draft)
4.04.00
Chapter IV "Special Districts" of the Land Development Code is amended to create Sections
4.04.00 through 4.04.06 "TVC - Overlay Zone (Towns, Villages, Countryside)" as follows
(these sections are being added to this code; changes from the 5/15/06 draft are indicated):
4.04.00 TVC - OVERLAY ZONE (TOWNS, VILLAGES, COUNTRYSIDE)
4.04.01 PURPOSE AND INTENT
The purpose and intent of Section 4.04.00 of this Code is to:
A. Guide the creation of Towns, Villages, protected Countryside, and other permitted uses on land
designated TVC on the Future Land Use Map of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan,
B, Ensure that all development of land designated TVC takes place in accordance with the
settlement principles set forth in the TVC Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Where this overlay
zone directly conflicts with other portions of this code, this overlay zone will prevail; however, no
development may be approved that conflicts with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
C, Provide procedures for transferring development rights using TOR credits, Such transfers will
allow continued rural uses of land that is designated TVC by transferring some or all of its
development rights to Towns or Villages or to land within the Urban Service Boundary.
4.04.02 ESSENTIAL TVC CONCEPTS
Four essential concepts for the regulation of land designated TVC are highlighted here:
A. TVC OVERLAY ZONE
This section of the code establishes a TVC Overlay Zone whose boundaries are identical to the TVC
designation on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan as initially adopted in May 2006,
This overlay zone provides general guidance and specific standards that, in conjunction with the
remainder of this Code, will carry out the goals, objectives, and policies of the TVC Element. The TVC
Overlay Zone contains two sub-zones whose boundary is the Urban Service Boundary in the
Comprehensive Plan as it existed in May 2006, The location and approximate boundaries of the TVC
Overlay Zone and its sub-zones are shown on Figure 4-10, Comprehensive Plan amendments that
make more than incidental adjustments to these boundaries will necessitate changes to this Code,

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 Towns and Villages on land designated TVC 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) zoning district. See Section 3.01,03,EE.

C. URBAN SERVICE BOUNDARY
The St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan establishes an Urban Service Boundary (USB) which limits
the geographic area where the county will provide certain services, The purpose is to restrict the
negative impacts of a sprawling low-density development pattern including the fiscal burden placed on
service providers by that pattern. About 63% of the land designated TVC is outside this boundary and
the remainder is inside, The TVC Element provides incentives for moving potential development to
new Towns and Villages or to certain locations inside the USB, Under certain circumstances the TVC
Element allows new development to qualify for urban services even if located outside the USB (see
policies under Objective 3.1,2 of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan),
D. TRANSFERABLE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS
The development rights attached to a parcel of land can sometimes be transferred to other parcels,
The TVC Element encourages the transfer of density for several purposes: to move potential
development to certain locations inside the USB; to encourage continued use of land for rural and
open space purposes by transferring potential density off the land; and to allow the accumulation of
sufficient development rights to create Towns or Villages. Transferable development values are set in
Figure 3-3 of the TVC Element and may be increased by using the multipliers in the TDR Credit Matrix
in Table 34 of the TVC Element. See Section 4,04.05,

4.04.03
4.04.03 OVERVIEW OF TVC APPROVAL PROCESSES
Development approvals for land designated TVC differ in several aspects from approvals in the
remainder of unincorporated St. Lucie County, These processes can be summarized as follows:
A, Owners of 500 or more acres of land located outside the USB and owners of 110 acres or more
of land located inside the USB may seek approval of a new Town or Village by applying to
rezone the land to the PTV (Planned Town or Village) zoning district. See Section 3,01.03.EE,
B, Owners of less than 500 acres of land outside the USB may take any of the following actions:
1. Maintain the land in its natural state or with agricultural uses consistent with its agricultural
zoning district and utilize the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program to move at
least 90% of the unused transferable development value from the land to an eligible
receiving site, See Section 4.04.05,
2. Subdivide the land into individual home sites using the transferable development value
assigned to that land by applying to rezone the land to the PCS (Planned Country
Subdivision) zoning district. See Section 3.01.03,FF, Upon approval, the TDR program may
not be used to transfer density to or from the land.
3. Utilize the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program to move or permanently set
aside at least 90% of the transferable development value from the land and subdivide the
land into individual home sites using the remaining development rights, See Section
4,04.04.D,3,
4, When consistent with the retail standards under Objective 3,1.8 of the TVC Element or the
workplace standards under Objective 3,1.10 of the TVC Element, apply to rezone the land
to the PRW (Planned Retail/Workplace) zoning district. See Section 3,01,06,GG,
C. Owners of less than 110 acres of land inside the USB may take any of the following actions:
1. Develop or use the land for residential purposes in accordance with the TVC Overlay Zone
requirements in Sections 4.04.01-4,04.06 of this Code,

4. Streets in the Future Street Network that connect rural areas to urban areas must provide
transitions from higher design speeds in rural areas to lower design speeds for
neighborhoods and other developed areas, Lower design speeds can be achieved by
reducing the widths of travel lanes, clear zones, and medians. Lower design speeds can
also be achieved by adding curbs, regularly spaced street trees, and on-street parking,

C. AGRICULTURAL USES
Owners of land m8Y are encouraaed to initiate, continue, or expand agricultural uses (including
forestry and equestrian uses) in accordance with the requirements of the agricultural zoning
district that applies to the land; Section 3.01.03 for lists of permitted and conditional agricultural
uses in each agricultural zoning district. This option is available to all land regardless of size both
inside and outside the USB, At a minimum, nothina in the TVC Overlav or other imDlementina
reaulations mav be construed to sUDersede or interfere with aaricultural riahts protected under
Florida's Riaht to Farm Act. Participation is optional in the Transfer of Development Rights
program which allows unused transferable development value to be moved to an eligible
receiving site (see Section 4.04.05),
D. RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS OUTSIDE THE URBAN SERVICE BOUNDARY
Residential subdivisions may be created outside the Urban Service Boundary (USB) on land
designated TVC only by following one of these three approaches:
1. As part of a new Town or Village. using the PTV zoning district (see Section 3.01,03.EE),
2, Outside a Town or Village through the use of the existing transferable development value
assigned to a parcel of land, using the PCS zoning district (see Section 3,01,03.FF).
3, Outside a Town or Village after moving or permanently setting aside at least 90% of the
transferable development value from the land to an eligible receiving site in accordance with
Section 4.04,05:
a, Transferable development value remaining on the land may be used to create
residential lots in accordance with the standards of this code including all TVC Overlay
Zone standards.
(1) There is no requirement to rezone from an existing AG-1 zoning district if the
residential lots will comply with all AG-1 requirements, Such a development would
be approved using the site plan approval process found in Chapter XI of this
Code,
(2) If the landowner wishes to allocate the remaining transferable development value
in a more clustered manner, rezoning may be requested to pes or other suitable
zoning district. The rezoning application and subsequent site plan approval
applications must be accompanied by a regulating plan that meets the standards
of Section 3.01,03,EE.3.b(4) and that identifies appropriate transect zones (either
Edge, General, or Center), lot types, and street types and that includes at least
one civic space in order to achieve development forms consistent with the TVC
Element.
b, Upon approval of this option, urban services may be extended at the property owners'
expense to lots that use the remaining transferable development value despite being
located outside the USB.
c, The new residential lots must be placed on one contiguous portion of the land and to
the extent possible must provide an interconnected street network as described in
Section 3,01,03,EE.2,k and water management in the form of an interconnected
system consistent with and connected to the Flow Way System as described in
Section 3,01,03,EE.2.p.
E. RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS INSIDE THE URBAN SERVICE BOUNDARY
1. Residential subdivisions may be created inside the Urban Service Boundary (USB) on land
designated TVC only by following one of these two approaches:
a, As part of a new Town or Village, using the PTV zoning district (see Section
3.01,03.EE), Planned Towns or Villages inside the USB require less acreage and a
lower percentage of land to be designated as Countryside than for a Town or Village
outside the USB (see Section 3,01,03.EE,2,b),

4.04,04.F
b. Outside a Town or Village but still inside the USB, using the transferable development
value assigned to a parcel of land, plus any TOR credits acquired and/or any density
bonuses that St. Lucie County may provide for affordable housing, workforce housing,
or mixed uses,
(1) If the land is not currently zoned to allow the desired density, the land must be
rezoned to a suitable planned zoning district (for instance, see Sections
3,01,03.BB and 7,01,00, the standard planned unit development category and
associated PUD regulations), The rezoning application and subsequent site plan
approval applications must be accompanied by a regulating plan that includes the
information required by Section 3,01,03,EE,3,b(4) and that identifies the
appropriate transect zones, lot types, and street types to achieve development
forms consistent with the TVC Element. The required Center. General. and Edae
transect zone percentages set forth in Section 3,01.03.EE.2,c(3) for Villages
would apply to such land unless the parcel is less than 32 acres, The five-acre
minimum parcel size for the standard PUD category would not apply to such an
application.
(2) Such residential subdivisions must provide an interconnected street network as
described in Section 3.01,03,EE.2.k and water management in the form of an
interconnected system consistent with and connected, if possible, to the Flow
Way System as described in Section 3,01,03.EE.2,p.
2. Residential development on land designated TVC that is inside the Urban Service Boundary
(USB) is afforded the following special allowances:
a, Density may be increased in all proposed development inside the USB through
acquisition of TOR credits from eligible sending sites (see Section 4,04.05),
b, Transferable development rights are awarded higher multipliers when the receiving site
is located inside the USB.
F. STANDARDS FOR NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
The following standards apply to new dwellings on pre-existing lots in the TVC Overlay Zone; to
all dwellings built in new subdivisions zoned PTV, PCS, and PRW; and to all dwellings in new
subdivisions approved pursuant to 4.04.04.0 and 4.04,04,E:
1. Detached garages must always be located in the rear of the lot. Detached garages must be
accessed from the alley or lane except where no alley or lane is present.
2, If no alleys or lanes are present, garage doors on attached garages should face the side or
the rear rather than the front and be accessed from a driveway that does not exceed 10 feet
wide except at the garage entrance, Where space does not permit a side- or rear-facing
garage door, any front-facing garage doors must be placed at least 20 feet behind the
principal plane of the building frontage and each door is limited to one car width,
G. OTHER NON-RESIDENTIAL USES
1. Retail and workplace land uses may be placed in a Town or Village through approval of
PTV zoning (see Section 3,01,03,EE).
2, Retail and workplace land uses may also be placed outside a Town or Village when
consistent with the retail standards under Objective 3,1,8 of the TVC Element or the
workplace standards under Objective 3,1.10 of the TVC Element. PRW zoning (see Section
3,01,06,GG) is required except on land indicated on the Transferable Development Value
Map (Figure 3-3) as suitable for industrial uses; land so indicated may also qualify for light
or heavy industrial zoning districts as if the land were designated Industrial on the Future
Land Use Map of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.

3.01.03.EE,1
Section 3.01.03 "Zoning Districts" of the Land Development Code is amended to create new
3.01.03.EE, 3.01.03.FF, and 3.01.03.GG as follows (these sections are being added to this code;
changes from the 5/15/06 draft are indicated):
3.01.03 ZONING DISTRICTS
EE. PTV (PLANNED TOWN OR VILLAGE)
1. PURPOSE
The Planned Town or Village (PTV) district provides a specialized zoning district to expedite
county approval of a Town or Village on land designated TVC on the Future Land Use Map
of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan,
2. STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS
Standards and requirements for Planned Town or Villages shall be as follows:
a. DESIGN CONCEPTS FOR TOWNS AND VILLAGES
Towns and Villages use the principles of traditional neighborhood design to create a
sustainable growth pattern characterized by a mix of uses, building types, and income
levels on a pedestrian-friendly block and street network. Each Town and Village also
preserves a significant amount of Countryside that includes viable agriculture, public
open space, and environmental preservation and restoration, Design concepts for
Towns and Villages are described further in the TVC Element of the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan, which contains specific settlement principles which must be
followed in the design of new neighborhoods,
b. OVERALL REQUIREMENTS FOR TOWNS AND VILLAGES
(1) Each Town consists of two or more neighborhoods and adjoining Countryside and
must meet the following requirements:
SIZE:
Minimum parcel size for a Town outside USB:
Minimum parcel size for a Town inside USB:
Maximum parcel size:
625 acres
225 acres
nla
OPEN SPACE & COUNTRYSIDE:
Open Space & Countryside required outside USB: 60% (50% Countryside min,)
(10% Ope-II Op8G8 IlItaX.)
Open Space & Countryside required inside USB: 40% (40% Countryside min.)
DENSITY REQUIRED IN NET DEVELOPABLE AREA:
Minimum average density required if inside USB: 6 DU/acre

meet the followina requirements:
SIZE:
Minimum parcel size for a Village outside USB:
Minimum parcel size for a Village inside USB:
Maximum parcel size:
500 acres
110 acres

(3) Regional roadways are thoroughfares
provided as links of the Future Street
Network (Figure 3-15 of the TVC Element).
The right-of-way of a regional roadway
located within a neighborhood of a Town or
Village is counted as part of the Net
Developable Area and is included in the
minimum average density requirement. The
right-of-way of a regional roadway located
outside of a neighborhood of a Town or
Village is considered part of the Net
Developable Area, but is not included in the
calculation of the minimum average density
requirement. Regional roadways are not
counted toward the required amount of
Open Space or Countryside,

(4) For details on computing the minimum Open Space and Countryside percentages,
see Section 3.01,03,EE,2,o, Civic Building Lots, including those used for public
schools, that are located within the net developable area of a Town or Village are
not included in the calculation of the required minimum average density,
c. TRANSECT ZONES GENERALLY
(1) Transect zones.
All land within each PTV must be allocated to one of the six transect zones
described below, Each transect zone controls allowable street types and lot types,
which then control the placement and intensity of buildings and other uses of land,
Each neighborhood may be comprised of the following Neighborhood transect
zones:
i. Core
ii. Center
iii. General
iv, Edge
The Countryside surrounding neighborhoods must be allocated to the following
Countryside transect zones:
v, Fringe
vi. Rural

Proposed Additions to Code
Draft for 5f30/06 public hearing (showing changes from 5/15/06 draft)
3.01.03.EE.2,d
The general standards for each transect zone are described in Section
3.01,03.EE,2,d,
(2) Transect assignment concepts.
Each PTV application must include a regulating plan that clearly identifies the
proposed allocation of transect zones within the entire Town or Village and
adjoining Countryside on the same parcel (see Section 3.01.03.EE.3), The
allocation of transect zones is intended to ensure variety and mixture of use and
lot types in neighborhoods and to delineate the Countryside that will be
permanently protected after development of the Town or Village, The following
general guidelines shall be followed when proposing transect zones:
i. Generally, a neighborhood has more intensity (Core or Center) in the center
and less intensity (General or Edge) at the extremes.
ii. When the neighborhood is adjacent to a busy street or highway, or adjacent
to an established urban area, the transect zones with greater intensity (Core
or Center) may adjoin that highway or urban area.
iii. Similar uses should face across streets; changes in transect zones should
generally occur along rear or side lot lines rather than along streets,
iv. The character of the neighborhood is determined by the transect zones of
which it is comprised; neighborhoods vary in character intemally, Some
neighborhoods may be more intense and have a higher percentage of Core
and Center while others may have a higher percentage of General and Edge.
However, each neighborhood must meet the percentage requirements set
forth below.
v, When a new neighborhood will adjoin an existing development, existing
agriculture, or an existing or approved neighborhood, the new neighborhood
should establish similar transect conditions (such as Core aligning with Core
or Center, and Rural aligning with Rural) to ensure compatibility. Transect
juxtapositions may be approved by SI. Lucie County where natural conditions
warrant them or where alignment of similar transect conditions would be
inappropriate,
(3) Transect assignment percentages.
Each proposed regulating plan must allocate transect zones within the following
percentage ranges, An applicant may propose minor variations on these
percentages during the PTV rezoning process based upon site-specific
constraints and compliance with the intent of the TVC Element and this Code, The
Board of County Commissioners shall decide whether to accept, modify, or reject
such variations during the approval process,
i. CORE: for Villages, no minimum;
for Towns, 1 % of each neighborhood minimum;
10% maximum in any neighborhood.
5% of each neighborhood minimum: 30% maximum.
30% of each neighborhood minimum; 60% maximum.
10% of each neighborhood minimum; 45% maximum.
no minimum; maximum 30% of Countryside

g. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR LOTS
(1) Table 3-1 provides dimensional requirements that apply to all lots of each
designated type, These requirements replace those found in Section 7.04.01,
(2) If additional lot types are proposed by an applicant, comparable dimensional
requirements must also be proposed. An applicant may also propose changes to
the dimensional requirements in Table 3-1 for a particular neighborhood. All
changes must comply with the intent of the TVC Element. The Board of County
Commissioners shall decide whether to accept, modify, or reject such additional or
modified dimensional requirements during the approval process.
(3) Each LivelWork, Rowhouse, Cottage, Sideyard, House, and Estate Lot is
permitted one main structure and one accessory dwelling, Accessory dwellings
are not counted for density purposes, for instance for meeting the minimum
density requirements of Section 3.01,03,EE.2,b. Accessory dwellings, where
permitted:
i. may not exceed the size limitations in Table 3-1;
ii. must maintain at least a 3' side yard except on Rowhouse Lots; and
iii. must be separated at least 10' from the main structure.
(4) Building frontage is the percentage of the total width of a lot which is required to
be building wall, measured where the front yard ends and the front of the building
begins, For this purpose only, the width of a porte cochere may be counted as
building wall even though it has no front or rear wall.
(5) Front porches and balconies may extend up to 10' into front yards provided that
walls, screened areas, or railings in the front yard extend no higher than 42 inches
above the floor of the porch or balcony, Front porches and balconies may not
extend into the right-of-way, Stoops may extend into front yards provided that
walls, screened areas, or railings in the front yard extend no higher than 42 inches
above the floor of the stoop, Stoops may extend into the right-of-way to the extent
specifically provided by the Board of County Commissioners during the approval
process.
(6) Each building must have separate walls to support all loads independently of any
walls located on an adjacent lot. Buildings with side-facing windows must provide
necessary light and air shafts within their own lot without relying on the side yard
of an adjacent lot.
(7) Each building must have an entrance facing a street or public open space,

County Attorney who may require the property owner to enter into a right-of-way
agreement establishing the property owner's sole responsibility for repairing any
damage that may result from public maintenance or improvements, When
providing a required awning, balcony, colonnade, arcade, or porch, the following
design requirements apply:
i. Awnings over first-fioor doors or windows must have a depth of at least 6
feet. Back-lit, high-gloss, or plasticized fabrics are prohibited.
ii. Balconies must have a depth of at least 5 feet and a clear height below of at
least 10 feet from the sidewalk. Balconies may have roofs but must be open
and not air-conditioned.
iii, Colonnades and arcades must have a clear width from column to building
face of at least 8 feet and a clear height of at least 10 feet above the
sidewalk,
iv, Porches must be at least 8 feet deep and 16 feet wide, Porches typically
have roofs but must be open and not air-conditioned,
(9) Minimum and maximum depths of front yards are shown Table 3-1. For Mixed-
Use Building Lots and Retail Building Lots, a portion of the building frontage may
be set back up to an additional 20 feet beyond the maximum front yard depth if
this space is constructed as a courtyard or entryway that is open to the sidewalk.
This portion may be up to 40% of the actual building frontage and may not be
used for parking,
(10) On all Mixed-Use Building Lots and Retail Building Lots, building walls that face
streets are required to have between 15% and 75% of their area in transparent
windows, In addition, retail stores must comply with the following:
i. The ground fioor must have transparent storefront windows covering no less
than 75% of the wall area in order to provide clear views of merchandise in
stores and to provide natural surveillance of exterior street spaces.
ii. Storefronts must remain unshuttered at night to provide views of display
spaces, and are encouraged to remain lit from within until 10:00 PM to
provide security to pedestrians.
iii. Doors allowing public access to streets must be provided at intervals of at
least 75 feet to maximize street activity, to provide pedestrians with frequent
opportunities to enter and exit buildings, and to minimize any expanses of
inactive wall.
To be considered transparent, window and door glass, whether integrally tinted or
with applied film, must transmit at least 50% of visible daylight. These
requirements do not apply to walls that face alleys or lanes.
h. PERMITTED USES
Table 3-2 identifies the permitted, conditional and accessory uses for each lot type,
Where the upper row of Table 3-2 indicates an entire zoning district, an "S" in the
column below indicates that a particular lot type is also allowed to have the same
permitted, conditional, and accessory uses that are allowable to any parcel located in
that zoning district, in addition to all uses specifically indicated for that lot type in other
columns of Table 3-2.

k. STREET NETWORK DESIGN
3,01.03.EE.2.k
(1) New development must accommodate the Future Street Network Plan (see
Section 4,04,04,8),
Each neighborhood must provide an interconnected network of streets, alleys or
lanes, and other public passageways,
i. Neighborhood streets must be designed to encourage pedestrian and bicycle
travel by providing short routes to connect residential uses with nearby
commercial services, schools, parks, and other neighborhood facilities within
the same or adjoining Towns or Villages, Sidewalks and rows of street trees
must be provided on both sides of all neighborhood streets,
ii. Neighborhood streets should be organized according to a hierarchy based on
function, size, and design speed, Rights-of-way are expected to differ in
dimension and must meet the appropriate standards for the transect zones in
which they are located (see Section 3,01.03,EE.2.i). There must be a
minimum of two street types within each neighborhood,
iii. Neighborhood streets do not have to form an orthogonal grid and are not
required to intersect at ninety-degree angles, These streets may be curved or
bent but must connect to other streets, Jogs or centerline offsets shall be at
least 100 feet for local streets; this requirement does not apply to alleys,
iv, Neighborhoods must accommodate one or more public transit nodes for
future service to points beyond the neighborhood.
v, All streets must be publicly dedicated, Private streets and closed or gated
streets are prohibited, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 7,05,03,E
and 7,10,15,
vi. The use of raised intersections, lateral shifts, and traffic circles are
encouraged as alternatives to more conventional traffic calming measures
such as speed bumps,
vii. A continuous network of rear and side alleys and/or lanes is desirable to
serve as the primary means of vehicular ingress to individual lots, Such
networks are mandatory in Core and Center transect zones and for Mixed-
use, Retail, Live/Work, Apartment, and Rowhouse, and Cottage Lots
regardless of transect Zones. Alley and rear lane entrances should align so
as to provide ease of ingress for service vehicles, Internal deflections or
variations in the alley/rear lane network are encouraged to prevent excessive
or monotonous views of the rear of structures resulting from long stretches of
alleys and rear lanes,
viii. Cul-de-sacs are not permitted except where
physical conditions such as freeways
provide no practical alternatives for
connection for through traffic. Canals mayor
may not be physical barriers; appropriate
crossings will be considered at the time of
PTV approval. Each cul-de-sac must be
detailed as a close, with landscaping in the
center (see Figure 3-9),
ix, Street stubs must be provided to adjacent
undeveloped land to ensure an integrated
street network is achieved over time, except
where the adjacent land is being designated
as Countryside through the PTV approval.
Stub-out streets to connect to future
development will not be considered cul-de-
sacs If they are less than 300 feet long.

3.01.03.EE.2.1
x, Full access intersections along Indrio Road must be separated by at least
660 feet. Full access intersections along other roads on the regional street
network must be separated by at least 330 feet (see Section 4.04.04,B),
(3) The average perimeter of all blocks within a neighborhood may not exceed 1,500
feet. The maximum perimeter of any block may not exceed 2,400 feet. The portion
of any 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.
(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
Edae Drives are double-loaded, a Dhvsicalline of demarcation (e,a, a sDlit rail
fence) must be Drovided seDaratina Drivate lots from Dublic 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.
(5) In addition to its network of streets, each PTV shall also include a network of trails
or greenways connecting urban, recreational, academic, and rural locations, Trails
shall be provided along the Flow Way System and along remaining canals to
provide connections and access to the Countryside, Trails in the Fringe transect
zone should be located in the center of the Fringe zone or adjacent to the Rural
zone to provide separation from private lots in the Edge zone. Existing
hedgerows, environmentally significant or sensitive lands, tree clusters, flow ways,
knolls, and viewsheds from scenic roads or parkways shall be considered for
connecting linkages between Towns and Villages, Greenway lands shall be
interconnected wherever possible to provide a continuous network of such lands
within and adjoining each PTV and remaining separated from streets wherever
possible,
(6) The street design requirements of Section 7,05 apply except where they conflict
with standards for the TVC Overlay Zone or this zoning district. Further exceptions
to the requirements of Section 7,05 may be authorized by the Board of County
Commissioners through approval of a regulating plan during the PTV rezoning
process,
I. STREET CROSS-5ECTIONS
Street types in all PTV districts must be assigned in accordance with Section
3.01.03,EE,2,i. The specific design of each street must follow the cross-sections
illustrated below for each street type. as adjusted for the transect zone they pass
through in accordance with Section 3,01,03.EE,2,j, The lane widths shown include the
width of gutter pans, In the event of direct conflicts, these standards shall supersede
other standards in this Code or in public works manuals,

m. OFF-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS
Certain modifications are needed to the off-street parking regulations found in Section
7,06,00 of this Code. Planned Towns or Villages provide extensive on-street parking, a
mix of compatible land uses, sidewalks and trails, and rear alleys or lanes. Based on
these factors, the following modifications will apply:
(1) The following minimum dimensions for parking access aisles and standard
parking stalls apply in lieu of the specific requirements in Section 7.06,00:

[]o}£I~~) ~·~HjI~-I-=!l·}Lj
(2) Wherever possible. parking lots shall be located behind buildings so that buildings
can screen parking areas from sidewalks and streets, In no case may parking be
located in front of a building, Small parking lots in side yards may be permitted
provided the buildings they serve can meet the lot width and building frontage
requirements of Table 3-1 and provided these lots are set back a minimum of 20
feet from lot lines adjoining rights-of-way, excluding alleys or lanes,
(3) The following multipliers shall be applied to the required number of off-street
parking spaces shown in Section 7,06,02, The result of this multiplication will be
the required number of off-street parking spaces in each transect zone.

(1) Civic Spaces. Civic spaces must be designed and configured to be clearly
recognizable as public open space, Civic spaces should be located so that
building walls having at least 15% of their area in transparent windows will face
the space to make the space safer for the public. Each neighborhood must have
at least four separate civic spaces, which may include neighborhood parks,
greens, squares, plazas, and playgrounds.
i. Each civic space should be consistent with the character of the transect zone
in which it is located. For example, a plaza located in the Core or Center
transect zone would be detailed with hardscaping and a formal planting
pattern of a single species (see Figure 3-10), while a neighborhood park in
the Edge transect zone may be green with paths through an informal planting
pattern of multiple species (see Figure 3-11).
ii. Each civic space must have at least 25% of its perimeter and at least two
sides directly adjoining a street.
iii. ExceDt for civic SDaces located alona the DeriDherv of a neiahborhood. the
combined size of all civic spaces located within a neighborhood must be at
least 2,5% but no more than 7,5% of the total acreaae assianed to the Core,

OPEN SPACE COMPONENTS
i. Within the PTV zoning district, the Flow Way System is to be designated as a
Rural or Fringe transect zone. Where the Flow Way System runs through a
neighborhood, its edges should reflect the character of adjacent transect
zones as described in Section 3.01.03,EE.2,p,
ii. The continuation of viable aaricultural uses in the Countryside and on
neiahborina properties is a primary desian aoal for the Countryside, Such
uses constitute uniaue and irreplaceable resources and are maior
contributors to the economv, The assianment of transect zones must
accomplish this aoal in a manner consistent with Florida's Riaht to Farm Act.

TOR Credits transferred from an off-site eligible sending site (see footnote to
Table 3-2),
(5) Restoration and preservation.
The restoration and preservation of native habitats and environmentally significant
land is strongly encouraged in the Frinae and Rural transect zones, Restored
habitats may qualify for increased TOR credits as described in Section 4,04,05 if
they meet the following minimum standards:
i. Restored habitats are at least 25 acres in size;
ii. Restored habitats are connected to the areatest extent possible to existing

and groundcover in proportions similar to those found in representative
naturally occurring plant communities in St. Lucie County; and
~ Shallow marsh svstems are encouraaed, Deep water habitat and the reauired
littoral zone and uDland buffer habitat (Section 3.01,03.EE,2,p(4)(ii)and (iii))
are not eliaible for restoration credit. but shallow marsh acreaae bevond the
reauirements mav be eliaible for full restoration credit.
vi. rr. Proposals that request an increased multiplier for transferable
development rights based on creating or restoring natural habitats from
former agricultural lands must be accompanied by a restoration and
management plan, The Board of County Commissioners will decide whether
to accept or modify such plans during the PTV approval process. The
restoration and management plan must include the following:
1) identifies the area to be restored;
2) identifies the strategy that will be employed to restore the land;
3) provides an acceptable time table for completion of the restoration:
4) identifies measures that will be used to evaluate the success of the
restoration, including the density and distribution of species: and
5) includes a funding strategy for monitoring and maintaining the habitat,
including the ongoing maintenance and removal of exotic vegetation.
(6) Use of reclaimed water.
i. Each new Town or Village must propose a reclaimed water management
plan which:

ii. The reclaimed water management plan shall be reviewed and approved by
the utility providing the re-use water. Documentation of such approval must
be available prior to public hearings on the PTV request.
iii. These requirements were established to offset the biological impacts of new
development, to ensure the re-use of nutrients in reclaimed water, to
enhance the ecological functions of the Countryside, and to enhance the
county's strategy of disposing of reclaimed water near its origin.
(7) Countryside management.
Land in the Countryside, regardless of use or ownership, is a critically important
landscape component of St. Lucie County and must be properly managed and
maintained to further the purposes of the TVC Element. A detailed countryside
management plan must be submitted with each PTV application identifying the
entities that will be responsible for the funding, construction, ownership, and
management of each component of land designated as Countryside, specifically
including the Flow Way System, The Board of County Commissioners will decide
whether to accept or modify this plan during the PTV approval process.
p. REGIONAL FLOW WAY SYSTEM
(1) Purpose and intent.
i. A regional Flow Way System will improve water quality through a
comprehensive interconnected stormwater management system that also
serves as a linear park, The Flow Way System is intended to provide for a
high level of retention and treatment of stormwater, reduction in water lost to
tide through storage and reuse of retained water, supplemental water supply
for irrigation, habitat for fish and wildlife, wildlife corridors, opportunities for
habitat mitigation, and the recreational and aesthetic values provided by
natural riverine systems,
ii. The reqional Flow Way System will be created incrementally and become a
continuous water management system that enhances the conveyance
functions of the existing drainage canals and incorporates the stormwater
detention. convevance, and discharqe systems for new development so as to
reduce total runoff volume and improve water quality prior to discharge into
the Indian River Lagoon,
iii. Where not inconsistent with SFWMD Dermittinq criteria. natural habitat
restoration is Dreferred to ODen water svstems for treatinq stormwater and
mav be eliqible for hiqher multiDliers offered for restoration and Dreservation,

ii. The Flow Way System shall be located within the Fringe or Rural transect
zones where it can provide sufficient water storage to serve the
neighborhoods while maximizing the viability of the adjacent land for
agricultural uses and native habitat restoration. The system may pass
through or between neighborhood transect zones provided the following
criteria are met:
1) The location and width of that portion of the system does not negatively
impact the desired walkable, compact structure required for each Town
or Village;
2) An adequate number of bridge crossings is provided in order to maintain
the required connectivity of the street network and the navigability of the
waterway; and
3) That portion of the system is detailed to reflect the appropriate urban or
rural character of the neighborhood transect zones (see Figure 3-13),
(3) Accessibility and edges,
i. In order to reinforce the desired linear park quality intended for the Flow Way
System, ell portiOI ,3 of the water's edge must shotttd be easily and safely
accessible, A pedestrian and bicycle trail system shall be provided and
maintained along both at least one sides of the system. In neighborhoods,
the trail may take the form of paved sidewalks that runs adjacent to the
system, In the Countryside, trails of a suitable material for walking, cycling, or
equestrian uses should be provided within the upland buffer adjacent to the
system,
ii. The edge of the Flow Way System should be varied and should reflect the
character of the adjacent transect zone, The following edge conditions may
be used (as illustrated in Figure 3-13) or other designs may be submitted for
approval consistent with the following intent:
1) Neighborhood: Core, Center, General. Near the center of Towns and
Villages, the system may be bulkheaded with adjacent sidewalks,
railings, and formal landscaping, Bulkheaded sections should provide
periodic access via stairs and landings to the waters' edge,
2) Neighborhood: General, Edge. The area from the waters' edge
landward should be fairly level to gently sloping for a minimum of 15
feet, with any required elevation changes to an adjacent sidewalk
accommodated by terraces or landscaped slopes. Landscaping may be
either formal or informal, with care given to species selection on sloped
areas for long-term maintenance,
3) Countryside. In order to create a natural relationship between land and
water within the Countryside. the slope of the land from the water's edge
landward shall be no steeper than 1 foot of vertical change in elevation
for every 10 feet of horizontal distance for the first 20 feet landward from
the waters' edge, A wide walking path can meander along the edge of
the water within native habitat. This edge condition may also be
appropriate along a park.

accommodate landowners who choose to place retail or workplace land uses outside a
Town or Village in a manner consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the TVC
Element.
a, The PRW district may only be used on land designated TVC on the Future Land Use
Map of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan,
b, PRW proposals must meet the retail standards under Objective 3.1,8 and/or the
workplace standards under Objective 3,1,10 of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive
Plan, in addition to the TVC Overlay Zone requirements in Section 4,04 of this Code,
c, The PRW district can be used only for one of the following primary purposes:
(1) LOCAL RETAIL: Local stores, convenience centers, neighborhood centers,
village centers, town centers (or portions thereof) that comply with the North St.
Lucie County General Retail Development Plan (Figure 3-13 and Objective 3.1.8
of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan).
(2) INTERSTATE RETAIL: Highway service/warehouse uses along Indrio Road
immediately west and east of Interstate 95 that comply with the North St. Lucie
County General Retail Development Plan (Figure 3-13 and Objective 3.1.8 of the
St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan),
(3) MIXED·USE BUSINESS DISTRICT: Mixed-use business districts between
Interstate 95 and the Florida Turnpike that comply with the North St. Lucie County
General Workplace Plan (Figure 3-16 and Objective 3.1,10 of the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan),
(4) TRANSITIONAL RETAIL: Retail, workplace, and residential uses in the
Transitional Areas near St. Lucie Boulevard and Kings Highway that comply with
the North St. Lucie County General Workplace Plan (Figure 3-16 and Objective
3,1,10 of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan),
i. PRW zoning is required for new retail and mixed-use developments and for
most new workplace developments,
ii. PRW zoning is not required for land indicated on the Transferable
Development Value Map (Figure 3-3) as suitable for industrial uses. Land so
indicated may also qualify for light or heavy industrial zoning districts
provided the zoned lands comply with 5t. Lucie County standards for the
Future Land Use category of Industrial.
d, PRW proposals are encouraged to include mixed-use buildings. The maximum number
of residential units is established by the transferable development value of the land
pursuant to the Transferable Development Value Map (Figure 3-3 of the St. Lucie
County Comprehensive Plan), by TDR credits obtained, or by the approval of the
Board of County Commissioners for the provision of workforce or affordable housing,

e. For purposes of interpreting compliance of a PRW application with the designations of
land on Figures 3-13 and 3-16 (see Figure 3-17 below), the Board of County
Commissioners may approve retail or workplace development as far as 1/4-mile
beyond the precise designations provided such uses are integrated with and
accessible through the designated land and are not incompatible with surrounding
uses.

b. TRANSECT ASSIGNMENT CONCEPTS
3.01.03.GG,2.b
Each proposed regulating plan must clearly indicate the allocation of transect zones
within the entire PRW district to define the character of various portions of the district.
The following general guidelines shall be followed when proposing transect zones:
(1) A PRW district should generally have less intensity where it adjoins existing or
planned development with less intensity, Where adjacent to a busy street or
highway, or adjacent to an established urban area, the transect zones with greater
intensity may adjoin that highway or urban area.
(2) Similar uses should face across streets; changes in transect zones should
generally occur along rear or side lot lines rather than along streets.
(3) When a PRW will adjoin an existing or approved neighborhood, the PRW should
establish similar transect conditions (such as Center aligning with Center, and
Fringe aligning with Fringe), Transect juxtapositions may be approved by St. Lucie
County where natural conditions warrant them or where alignment of similar
transect conditions would be inappropriate due to existing or proposed uses on
adjacent properties,
(4) The Specialized District transect zone may only be used in the following
situations:
i. Only for Interstate Retail west of 1-95 and for Mixed-Use Business Districts as
defined in 3,01.03,GG,1,c; and
ii. Only where it is not possible or desirable to integrate the desired
development type or form with adjoining uses; and
iii. Only for that portion of a proposed development where the other transect
zones allowable in the PRW district are unsuitable; and
iv, Only where the details proposed within the Speciaiized District will not
interfere with any of the goals, objectives, and policies of the TVC Element.
c. LOT TYPES
(1) The following lot types may be assigned within the corresponding transect zones
as shown in the following matrix, An applicant may propose additional lot types
during the PRW rezoning process provided the lot types comply with the intent of
the TVC Element; the Board of County Commissioners shall decide whether to
accept, modify, or reject such additional lot types during the approval process,

harmonious transitions between lot types, Lot types should be selected to provide
buildings of like scale and massing on opposite sides of streets. The primary
entrance of every building must directly face a street, a square, a park, a plaza. or
a green,

d. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR LOTS
(1) Table 3-3 provides dimensional requirements that apply to all lots of each
designated type. These requirements replace those found in Section 7,04,01,
(2) If additional lot types are proposed by a PRW applicant, comparable dimensional
requirements must also be proposed, An applicant may also propose changes to
the dimensional requirements in Table 3-3 for a particular lot type, The Board of
County Commissioners shall decide whether to accept, modify, or reject such
additional or modified dimensional requirements during the approval process,
(3) Building frontage is the percentage of the total width of a lot which is required to
be building wall, measured where the front yard ends and the front of the building
begins, For this purpose only, the width of a porte cochere may be counted as
building wall even though it has no front or rear wall.
(4) Each building shall have separate walls to support all loads independently of any
walls located on an adjacent lot.
(5) Each building on a Mixed-Use Building Lot, a Retail Building Lot, a Live/Work
Building Lot, or a Civic Building Lot must have an entrance facing a street or
public open space,
(6) Each building on a Mixed-Use Building Lot or a Retail Building Lot is required to
have an awning/marquee, balcony, or colonnade/arcade in accordance with the
design requirements of Section 3,01,03.EE,2,g,(8),
(7) Minimum and maximum depths of front yards are shown Table 3-3. For Mixed-
Use Building Lots and Retail Building Lots, a portion of the building frontage may
be set back up to an additional 20 feet beyond the maximum front yard depth if
this space is constructed as a courtyard or entryway that is open to the sidewalk.
This portion may be up to 40% of the actual building frontage and may not be
used for parking,
e. PERMITTED USES
Table 3-4 identifies the permitted, conditional and accessory uses for each lot type,
Where the upper row of Table 3-4 indicates an entire zoning district, an "S" in the
column below indicates that a particular lot type is also allowed to have the same
permitted, conditional, and accessory uses that are allowable to any parcel located in
that zoning district, in addition to all uses specifically indicated for that lot type in other
columns of Table 3-4,

The density of those portions of the site cannot exceed the density limitations of
the Transferable Development Value Map in Figure 3-3 of the TVC Element.
(2) Residential units may also be placed on upper stories of buildings that contain
retail or workplace uses, or may be part of freestanding live/work buildings. The
total number of such residential units on the site cannot exceed the entire site's
density limitations as set forth in the Transferable Development Value Map in
Figure 3-3 of the TVC Element, or 5 dwelling units per acre, whichever is higher.

i. STREET NETWORK DESIGN
(1) New development must accommodate the Future Street Network Plan (see
Section 4,04,04,B),
(2) Except in Specialized Districts, each PRW must provide an interconnected
network of streets, alleys or lanes, and other public passageways:
I. Streets must be designed to encourage pedestrian and bicycle travel by
providing short routes to connect residential uses with nearby commercial
services, schools, parks, and other neighborhood facilities,
il. Streets should be organized according to a hierarchy based on function, size,
and design speed, Rights-of-way are expected to differ in dimension and
must meet the appropriate standards for the transect zones in which they are
located (see Section 3,01,03,GG.2,g),
iil. Streets do not have to form an orthogonal grid and are not required to
intersect at ninety-degree angles, These streets may be curved or bent but
must connect to other streets. Jogs or centerline offsets shall be at least 100
feet for local streets; this requirement does not apply to alleys,
iv, All streets must be publicly dedicated. Private streets and closed or gated
streets are prohibited, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 7.05.03,E
and 7,10,15,
v. The use of raised intersections, lateral shifts, and traffic circles are
encouraged as alternatives to more conventional traffic calming measures
such as speed bumps,
vi, A continuous network of rear and side alleys and/or lanes is desirable to
serve as the primary means of vehicular ingress to individual lots, Such
networks are mandatory in Core and Center transect zones, Alley and rear
lane entrances should align so as to provide ease of ingress for service
vehicles, Internal deflections or variations in the alley/rear lane network are
encouraged to prevent excessive or monotonous views of the rear of
structures resulting from long stretches of alleys and rear lanes,
viI. Cul-de-sacs are not permitted except where physical conditions such as
freeways provide no practical alternatives for connection for through traffic.
Canals mayor may not be physical barriers; appropriate crossings will be
considered at the time of PRW approval.
viiI. Street stubs must be provided to adjacent undeveloped land to ensure an
integrated street network is achieved over time, except where the adjacent
land is being designated as Fringe, Stub-out streets to connect to future
development will not be considered cul-de-sacs if they are less than 300 feet
long,
ix, Streets intersecting Indrio Road must be separated by at least 660 feet.
Streets intersecting other roads on the regional street network must be
separated by at least 330 feet (see Section 4.04.04,B).
(3) Except in Specialized Districts, the average perimeter of all blocks within a
neighborhood may not exceed 1,500 feet. The maximum perimeter of any block
may not exceed 2,400 feet. The portion of any 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 PRW rezoning process; the Board of County
Commissioners shall decide whether to accept, rnodify, or reject such
modifications during the approval process,

(4) The street design requirements of Section 7.05 apply except where they conflict
with standards for the TVC Overlay Zone or this zoning district. Further exceptions
to the requirements of Section 7.05 may be authorized by the Board of County
Commissioners through approval of a regulating plan during the PRW rezoning
process.
(5) Applications for PRW zoning on tracts larger than 25 acres must provide at least
two points of vehicular access. These access points may not be restricted by
gates.
j. OFF-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS
Certain modifications to the off-street parking regulations found in Section 7,06,00 of
this Code will apply in the PRW district:
(1) Except in Specialized Districts, the following minimum dimensions for parking
access aisles and standard parking stalls apply in lieu of the specific requirements
in Section 7.06,00:

(2) Except in Specialized Districts, parking lots shall be located behind buildings
wherever possible so that buildings can screen parking areas from sidewalks and
streets, In no case shall parking be located in front of a building. Small parking lots
in side yards may be permitted provided the buildings they serve can meet the lot
width and building frontage requirements of Table 3-1 and provided these lots are
set back a minimum of 20 feet from lot lines adjoining rights-of-way, excluding
alleys or lanes,
