WHEREAS, the St. Lucie County Planning and Development Services Director has reviewed the
request for a Minor Adjustment to the Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) Site Plan for
Oceans, Reefs and Aquariums and reviewed the comments of the Development Review
Committee and has made the following determinations:
Oceans, Reefs and Aquariums, LLC requested a Minor Adjustment to the Planned Mixed
Use Development (PMUD) Site Plan for Oceans, Reefs and Aquariums to allow for the
proposed additions of covered generator structures for the two existing aquaculture
greenhouse facilities located on the subject 7.29 acre parcel. Proposed for Building (E) is
the addition of a 1,830 square foot (30'X61') carport structure to cover the generator and
its associated electrical equipment along with an adjacent fuel tank and walk-in freezer.
Proposed for Building (C) is the addition of a 374 square foot (17'X22') carport structure to
cover the generator and its associated electrical equipment. The subject property is
located at 5470 Aquaculture Loop, Fort Pierce.
2. On September 28, 1993, Harbor Branch "Back 40" received Final Planned Mixed Use
Development (PMUD) Site Plan approval for an aquaculture facility.
3. On August 8, 2012, Oceans, Reefs and Aquariums was approved for the addition of one
approximately 2,632 square foot modular building and a 5,760 square foot coral
greenhouse.
4. The Development Review Committee has reviewed the Minor Adjustment to the proposed
project pursuant to the Land Development Code (LDC), Section 11.02.07 and found it to
meet technical requirements and to be consistent with the general purpose, goals, and
objectives, of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
5. Planning staff has performed a detailed analysis of the project and found it to be
consistent with the St. Lucie County Land Development Code and Comprehensive Plan.
The analysis is found in the Planning and Development Services memorandum titled
Oceans, Reefs, and Aquariums (SPMn-420185297) MinorAdjustment to Site Plan, dated
July 3, 2018.
6. The project will not have an undue adverse effect on adjacent property, the character of
the neighborhood, traffic conditions, parking, utility facilities, or other matters affecting the
public health, safety, and general welfare.
7. All reasonable steps have been taken to minimize any adverse effect of the proposed
project on the immediate surroundings through building design, site design, landscaping
and screening.
