ISLAND JUICE COMPANY EXPANSION (FKA COLONIAL
ENGINEERING) MINOR SITE PLAN FOR APPROXIMATELY 11.80
ACRES OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1650 DIGIORGIO ROAD IN ST.
LUCIE COUNTY, FL.
WHEREAS, the St. Lucie County Planning and Development Services Director has
reviewed the request for a Minor Adjustment to the Minor (Previously Designated a
Major) Site Plan for the project known as Orchid Island Juice Company Expansion, the
comments of the Development Review Committee, and has made the following
determinations:
1. Orchid Island Juice Company, a food product manufacturing operation,
represented by Culpepper and Terpening, Inc., presented a petition for a Minor
Adjustment to a previously approved Minor Site Plan known as Orchid Island Juice
Company Expansion (FKA Colonial Engineering) to add subphase, Phase 1A, to
reconfigure an existing parking lot and landscaping for a new loading dock ramp
at Natalie's Orchid Island Juice Plant as part of a phased expansion plan up to a
132,168 square foot build -out located at 1650 DiGiorgio Road in the IL (Industrial,
Light) zoning district on approximately 11.80 acres of land as described in Part "A".
2. On March 22, 1988, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Major Site
Plan for Colonial Engineering to construct an 87,500 square foot warehousing and
manufacturing plant. The applicant constructed approximately 55,500 square feet
of the approved Colonial Engineering site plan.
3. On June 16, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution
2020-131, granting a Major Adjustment to a Major Site Plan for the facility
expansion, in two (2) phases.
4. On June 1, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance 2021-
14 which expanded the Minor Site Plan threshold for Targeted Industry projects
to 500,000 sq. ft., therefore the subject Site Plan is now considered a Minor Site
Plan.
5. On June 15, 2022, Dennis Murphy of Culpepper and Terpening, representing the
applicant, filed a request to exercise rights in accordance with the provisions of
Executive Order Number 22-27, as issued by the Office of the Governor of the
State of Florida on February 2, 2022, and as amended on February 3, 2022, to
toll the period of the site plan approval granted by Resolution 2020-131.

6. The Minor Adjustment requested on June 6, 2022, upon approval will extend the
site plan approval for twelve (12) months, exceeding the eligible extension

the previously tolling period granted by the State for purposes of acting upon this

Adjustment to the Minor Site Plan, as depicted on Exhibit "C", for the project and

standards of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan, and the Code of Ordinances of St. Lucie County.
9. The proposed 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.
10. All reasonable steps have been taken to minimize any adverse effect of the
proposed project on the immediate vicinity through building design, site design,
landscaping, and screening.
11. The proposed project will be constructed, arranged, and operated so as not to
interfere with the development and use of neighboring property, in accordance with
