Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

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, Hamlets, protected Countryside, and other
permitted uses and development patterns 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.
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 29 4:22.1 Adopted May 19, 2009
4.04.01 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
C. Provide procedures for transferring development rights using TDR 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.
(Ord. No. 2024-28, § Pt. B(Exh. A), 8-6-2024)
4.04.02. Essential TVC Concepts.
Four (4) 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 (2) 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, Villages and Planned Unit Developments on land
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 29 4:22.2 Adopted May 19, 2009
SPECIAL DISTRICTS 4.04.02
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 - see Section 3.01.03.EE) or PUD (Planned Unit
Development - see Section 4.04.04.E(1)(b)) zoning district.
FIGURE 4-11— URBAN -TO -RURAL TRANSF

It
J"-W
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 sixty-three percent (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. Transfer-
able 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 3-4 of the TVC
Element. See Section 4.04.05.

4.04.03 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
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 five hundred (500) or more acres of land located outside the USB and
owners of one hundred ten (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. Owners of five
hundred (500) acres or more located outside the USB may also seek approval of a
Hamlet by applying to rezone the land to the Hamlet PUD zoning district, pursuant
to Sections 7.01.02 and 7.01.04. Any Hamlet proposed on land fronting Indrio Road
must demonstrate consistency with Comprehensive Plan Policy 11.1.5.7.
B. Owners of less than five hundred (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 ninety percent (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 develop-
ment 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 ninety percent (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 one hundred ten (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.
2. Residential development is limited to the maximum residential densities on the
Transferable Development Value Map (Figure 3-3 of the TVC Element), except
that.
a. Density may be increased as a county incentive for providing affordable
housing, workforce housing, or mixed -use development.
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 29 4:24 Adopted May 19, 2009
SPECIAL DISTRICTS 4.04.04
b. For development built in the form of a Town or Village, density may be
increased through acquisition of TDR credits from eligible sending sites.
See Sections 3.01.03.EE and 4.04.05.
D. Owners of land of any size inside the USB (Urban Service Boundary) may place retail
or workplace land uses outside a Town or Village by taking either of the following actions:
1. Seek rezoning of the land to the PRW (Planned Retail/Workplace) zoning district
(Section 3.01.06.GG) if the proposed uses are fully consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the TVC Element, and in particular with the retail
standards under Objective 3.1.8 and/or the workplace standards under Objective
3.1.10. Such proposals must also conform to the TVC Overlay Zone requirements of
Section 4.04 of this Code.
2. Owners of property with existing commercial zoning (CO, CN, or CG) as of August 28,
2009, are not required to rezone to PRW, but must follow the development standards
contained in Section 3.01.03.GG.2 for that zoning district and must otherwise be
consistent with the TVC Element. All such proposals, except as necessary to achieve
underlying nonresidential use intensity pursuant to Land Use Element Policies
3.1.2.5 and 3.1.3.1(4), must meet the retail standards under Objective 3.1.8 and/or
the workplace standards under Objective 3.1.10, in addition to the TVC Overlay Zone
requirements in Section 4.04 of this Code.
E. Owners of land of any size may 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. This option is available both
inside and outside the USB. See Section 3.01.03 for lists of permitted and conditional
agricultural uses in each agricultural zoning district.
(Ord. No. 11-002, § 4, 12-6-2011; Ord. No. 2024-28, § Pt. B(Exh. A), 8-6-2024)
4.04.04. TVC Specific Standards.
A. Applicability of TVC Specific Standards.
1. The standards in Section 4.04.00 apply to land use and land development within the
TVC Overlay Zone regardless of zoning designations, except as specifically provided.
2. The provisions of the remainder of this Code apply except where modified by this
TVC Overlay Zone, by the PTV, PCS, PRW, or PUD zoning districts, or by the St.
Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
B. Regional Street Network.
1. The TVC Element of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan established in May
2006 a Future Street Network Plan that includes street improvements and new
streets to be completed by the year 2030, as depicted on Figure 4-12.
St. Lucie County Land Development Code

2. St. Lucie County will not approve any construction or development of land that
would interfere with the creation of or improvements to the streets identified on the
Future Street Network Plan.
3. Development of land must accommodate and incorporate appropriate links of the
Future Street Network Plan. Final alignments will be determined by St. Lucie
County. Roadway capacity to support the proposed development must exist or be
provided concurrently. Appropriate connectivity of new development to these streets
and their integration with adjoining development must be demonstrated prior to
development approvals.
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 29 4:26 Adopted May 19, 2009
SPECIAL DISTRICTS 4.04.04
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 are encouraged to initiate, continue, or expand
agricultural uses (including forestry and equestrian uses) in accordance with the require-
ments 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,
nothing in the TVC Overlay or other implementing regulations may be construed to
supersede or interfere with agricultural rights protected under Florida's Right 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 subdivi-
sions may be created outside the Urban Service Boundary (USB) on land designated TVC
only by following one (1) of these four (4) 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 ninety
percent (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 AGA zoning district if
the residential lots will comply with all AGA 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 develop-
ment value in a more clustered manner, rezoning may be requested to PCS
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
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 29 4:27 Adopted May 19, 2009
4.04.04 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
appropriate transect zones (either Edge, General, or Center), lot types, and
street types and that includes at least one (1) 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 (1) 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.
4. Outside a Town or Village, as a Hamlet Planned Unit Development (PUD), pursuant
Sections 7.01.02 and 7.01.04. The Hamlet PUD shall consist of compact, pedestrian -
friendly residential settlement with a variety of housing types. Home sites within a
Hamlet PUD are eligible to receive urban services at the developer's expense.
Development of a Hamlet PUD must ensure compatibility with existing or planned
nearby development and provide connectivity of roadways, trails, open space, and a
flow way.
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 (1) 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).
b. Outside a Town or Village but still inside the USB, using the transferable
development value assigned to a parcel of land, plus any TDR credits acquired
and/or any density bonuses that St. Lucie County may provide for affordable
housing, workforce housing, or mixed uses.
Supp. No. 29
(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 appropriate transect zones, lot types,
and street types to achieve development forms consistent with the TVC
Element. The required Center, General, and Edge transect zone percent-
ages set forth in Section 3.01.03.EE.2.c(3) for Villages would apply to such
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
4:28 Adopted May 19, 2009
SPECIAL DISTRICTS 4.04.04
land, unless the parcel is less than thirty-two (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 TDR 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 4.04.04.1) and 4.04.04.E:
1. Detached garages must preferably 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.
Front -loaded units shall not compromise the walkability and intended pedestrian
character of a neighborhood. Garages not accessed from an alley shall be recessed
from the main fagade. A maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) of residential units
in each phase may include front -loaded detached garages.
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 ten (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 twenty (20) feet behind the principal plane of the building frontage and each
door is limited to one (1) car width.
3. Garage and Driveway Standards.
a. Front -loaded garage doors shall not comprise more than fifty percent (50%) of
the width of the front elevation of the house (including the garage).
b. Notwithstanding the previous provision, up to twenty percent (20%) of dwell-
ings within a neighborhood can include garage doors which measure up to sixty
percent (60%) of the width of the front elevation of the house.
C. Different house types and lot widths must be dispersed throughout the
neighborhood to provide variety to the streetscape.
d. Driveway width should be limited at the property line to protect the priority of
the sidewalk and to enable on -street parking. In no case shall the driveway
St. Lucie County Land Adopted lop 19, Code
Supp. No. 29 4:29
4.04.04 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
width exceed fifty percent (50%) of the lot width or twenty (20) feet, whichever
is narrower, where the driveway meets the property line. Where measured
elsewhere, single-family residential driveway widths shall not exceed twenty-
two (22) feet.
e. Front -loaded garages on residential lots greater than forty-five (45) feet in
width shall be recessed from the main fagade no less than ten (10) feet. The
garage recess may be measured from a front porch so long as the porch is at
least six (6) feet deep and the width is at least thirty percent (30%) of the front
elevation. (Front porches meeting this standard may encroach into the front
setback.)
f. Front -loaded garages on residential lots less than forty-five (45) feet in width
must meet this standard unless modifications are granted, pursuant to
paragraph 4 below.
g. The width of a side -loaded garage shall not be limited relative to the width of
the lot or dwelling, if the wall of the garage facing a street includes at least two
(2) windows and other features to resemble living space. The width of a
driveway serving a side -loaded garage shall be limited to twenty (20) feet where
it meets the property line. Side -loaded garages may also have reduced setbacks
from the front property line.
h. The width of a garage or driveway accessed from a rear alley shall not be limited
relative to the width of the lot or dwelling.
4. Design Flexibility.
a. Deviations from these standards may be approved by the Board of County
Commissioners upon demonstration that other proposed design features
adequately mitigate the impacts of larger garages and driveways on the
neighborhood streetscape. At time of approval of a Regulating Plan and
Preliminary Development Plan, the Board of County Commissioners may
delegate to the Planning and Development Services Director authority to
approve deviation from the standards in paragraph 3 if the Director, in his or
her professional judgment, determines that the proposed alternative design is
consistent with the intent to provide safe and inviting streetscapes that
encourage walking and that the impact of larger driveways or garages has been
adequately mitigated.
b. Such alternative design options include but are not limited to:
i. Commitment to provide a minimum percentage of dwellings within the
neighborhood that have a one -car garage and/or a driveway that does not
exceed twelve (12) feet in width;
ii. Provision of structured soils or a modular suspended pavement system
designed to meet the needs for water, soil and oxygen for the roots of
mature street trees, while still supporting the weight of heavy vehicles.
Supp. No. 29 St. Lucie County Land Development Code
4:30 Adopted May 19, 2009
SPECIAL DISTRICTS 4.04.05
iii. Additional shade trees on individual residential lots, beyond what is
required by code.
iv. Wider sidewalks than what is required by code.
V. Providing a Boulevard street section with shade trees and pedestrian
pathways in the center median that is at least thirty (30) feet wide.
vi. Second floor living space over the garage with windows overlooking the
street and including Accessory Dwelling Units.
vii. Brick pavers or other improved hardscape materials on the driveway.
viii. Providing two (2) separate garage doors for two -car garages rather than
one (1) larger door.
ix. Providing a minimum percentage of dwellings where the front -loaded
garage is located in the rear of the lot and accessed by a narrow driveway.
X. Providing a minimum percentage of dwellings where the garage parking is
accessed from a rear alley.
xi. Provide a minimum number or percentage of wider lots.
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, or as necessary to
achieve underlying nonresidential use intensity pursuant to Land Use Element
Policies 3.1.2.5 and 3.1.3.1(4). 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. PRW zoning is also not
required for property with existing commercial zoning (CO, CN, or CG) as of August
28, 2009, but commercial development on such property must follow the development
standards contained in Section 3.01.03.GG.2 and be consistent with the TVC
Element. If the owner of any such existing commercially -zoned property elects to
seek approval for commercial development without PRW rezoning, then the develop-
ment application shall follow the submittal requirements, review procedures, and
approval standards as provided for Major Site Plans under Chapter XI of this Code.
(Ord. No. 11-002, § 4, 12-6-2011; Ord. No. 2020-28, Pt. A, 10-20-2020; Ord. No. 2024-014,

4.04.05. Transferable Development Rights.
A. Applicability. Section 4.04.05 establishes procedures for the Transfer of Development
Rights Program for the North St. Lucie County Special Area Plan (SAP). This section
establishes procedures by which transferable development rights are calculated, applied,
St. Lucie County Land Adopted Development
o ale, Code
Supp. No. 29 4:31
4.04.05 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
conveyed, and recorded, for the purpose of the preservation of the County's valuable
agricultural land, open space, and environmental quality, and in promoting well -designed
communities, social diversity, and economic growth. Paragraph C describes how transferable
development rights are assigned to land within the North St. Lucie County SAP. Paragraph
D explains that landowners are under no obligation to exercise their transferable develop-
ment rights and how Transferable Development Rights Credits (TDR credits) are created.
The description of the qualifying sending and receiving areas are set out in paragraphs E
and F herein. The use of transferable development rights, including calculation of the
number of TDR credits that may be transferred is established in paragraph F. Procedures for
approval of use of TDR credits are set out in paragraph G.
B. Findings. St. Lucie County finds that the planning approach outlined in the Towns,
Villages and Countryside (TVC) Comprehensive Plan Element promotes more efficient,
predictable, and sustainable patterns of development, by encouraging new development in
mixed -use Towns and Villages that reduce automobile dependency and provide greater
opportunities for transit use, walking, and biking. The Town and Village developments also
protect and enhance the natural environment, maintain agricultural land, and improve the
citizens' quality of life. In furtherance of the Element, this section preserves and enhances
existing private property rights of small and large landowners while providing incentive -
based options to landowners for new development consistent with the TVC Comprehensive
Plan Element.
C. Allocation of Transferable Development Rights Within the North St. Lucie County
Special Area Plan (SAP).
1. Transferable development rights are afforded only to properties with residential
densities consistent with Figure 3-3 of the TVC Element. Except as noted below,
every parcel within the TVC Overlay Zone which is also outside of the USB, on the
effective date of the TVC Element, is allocated one (1) transferable development
right for each gross acre contained therein, excepting one (1) acre of the curtilage
around any existing house that is designated to remain on the property. Except as
noted below, every parcel within the TVC Overlay Zone which is inside the USB is
allocated transferable development rights equal to the number of dwelling units
allowed per acre as depicted on the Transferable Development Value Map (figure 3-3
of the TVC Comprehensive Plan Element) for each gross acre contained therein,
excepting one (1) acre of the curtilage around any existing house that is designated
to remain on the property. Except as noted below, parcels within the North St. Lucie
SAP which are both inside the USB and designated by the County as Environmentally
Significant are allocated transferable development rights equal to the number of
dwelling units allowed per acre in the Future Land Use Element for each gross acre
contained therein, excepting one (1) acre of the curtilage around any existing house
that is designated to remain on the property.
2. Allocations for the Future Street Network. Parcels within the TVC Overlay Zone '
that provide right-of-way for the Future Street Network, shall not have the gross
Supp. No. 29 St. Lucie County Land Development Code
4:32 Adopted May 19, 2009
SPECIAL DISTRICTS 4.04.05
transferable development rights reduced by the accommodation of the roadway. For
parcels located outside the USB less than five hundred (500) acres in size, the area
donated for the right-of-way is afforded the multiplier offered in Table F-2.
D. Obligation to Convey Transferable Development Rights; TDR Credits.
1. The conveyance of transferable development rights from a sending area to a
receiving area is intended to occur solely on a voluntary basis between consenting
landowners. Landowners are not compelled by this section to convey their transfer-
able development rights; but if they are conveyed, the conveyance shall occur
pursuant to the procedures and standards of paragraphs F and G. Transferable
development rights may be severed from the sending area and conveyed by sale,
donation or bequest.
2. Transferable Development Rights Credits (TDR credits) are created when a multiplier
(Table F-2) is applied to the transferable development rights of a property. Each TDR
credit secures one (1) additional residential dwelling unit when applied to an eligible
receiving site.
3. Once transferred, TDR credits may be used to construct residential development
within that receiving site without a time limitation; however, TDR credits that are
not applied to that receiving area within twenty (20) years of their initial transfer
shall no longer be available for transfer to another receiving area. Planned Towns or
Villages (PTV) that do not use the TDR Credits generated by the Open Space and
Countryside requirement within twenty (20) years of approval shall not be eligible to
transfer the unused TDR Credits to another receiving site; however such credits may
be used to construct residential development within the PTV without time limita-
tion.
E. The TDR Sending Area.
1. The area from which transferable development rights may be transferred is
designated as the sending area, and is identified as those properties within the North
St. Lucie County SAP and which are identified as desirable for conservation based on
the existing natural habitat, agricultural use, location, or historic status. Sending
Sites are either designated by the County as Environmentally Significant or shown
on the Transferable Development Value Map (figure 3-3 of the TVC Comprehensive
Plan Element, excepting one (1) acre of the curtilage around any existing house that
is designated to remain after TDR transfer. The following areas may participate in
the TDR Program as sending sites:
a. Areas permanently designated for the Open Space and Countryside (See
Subsection H, Conditions of Conservation Easement or Deed Restriction)
including land used for the following uses:
i. Agricultural uses,
ii. Restored or Preserved Native habitat; or Environmentally Significant
Land;
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 29 4:33 Adopted May 19, 2009
4.04.05 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
iii. Flow Way System;
iv. Community Parks, trails, or recreation areas;
V. Golf course (limited to eighteen (18) holes within a Planned Town or
Village);
vi. Civic Spaces within a Planned Town or Village (PTV) including neighbor-
hood parks, greens, squares, plazas, and playgrounds provided they are
publicly accessible in perpetuity;
b. The following areas may also participate as sending sites (See Subsection H,
Conditions of Conservation Easement or Deed Restriction):
Parcels designated for higher education;
ii. Parcels designated for targeted industry;
iii Additional Building Lots designated for workforce housing above the
requirement for eight percent (8%) of the proposed number dwellings in a
PTV (See Section 3.01.03.EE.2.q);
iv. Civic Building Lots including schools, police stations, houses of worship;
V. Parcels containing sites of archaeological or historical significance (See
Subsection I, Conditions of Deed Restriction);
vi. For parcels less than five hundred (500) acres, land donated as right-of-
way for the Regional Street Network. Parcels greater than five hundred
(500) acres may not count land used as right-of-way for the Future Street
Network as Open Space and Countryside or use a multiplier on the
underlying transferable development rights.
2. The properties within the North St. Lucie County SAP include two (2) distinct areas:
(a) lands outside of the Urban Service Boundary, and (b) lands within the Urban
Service Boundary.
a. Outside of the USB, TDR credits may be sent from any one (1) property to
another providing the receiving site is a minimum of five hundred (500) acres in
size.
b. Outside the USB, TDR credits may be sent from any one (1) property, to any
property within the USB providing the receiving site is within the TVC Overlay
Zone or is designated on the North St. Lucie County Preferred TDR Receiving
Site Map (Figure 3-12 of the TVC Comprehensive Plan Element).
C. Inside the USB, within the TVC Overlay Zone, TDR credits may be sent from
any one (1) property to another.
d. TDR Credits may not be sent from a property within the USB to a property
outside of the USB, except if (1) the sending property is both within the North
St. Lucie County SAP and is designated by the County as Environmentally
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 29 4:34 Adopted May 19, 2009
SPECIAL DISTRICTS 4.04.05
Significant or (2) the property is contiguous (parcels are adjoining for a
minimum of 1/4 mile) and partially located both inside the USB and outside USB
but wholly located within the TVC Overlay Zone.
3. In addition, the following limitations apply for parcelsof less than five hundred (500)
acres located outside of the USB:
a. A parcel of less than five hundred (500) acres located outside the Urban Service
Boundary may not be developed at a higher density, including by the use of TDR
Credits generated on -site or acquired from off -site locations, than that allowed
by the density permitted by the Transferable Development Value Map (figure
3-3 of the TVC Element), unless a landowner of less than five hundred (500)
acres enters into an agreement with one (1) or more adjoining landowners to
develop five hundred (500) or more acres into a Town or Village pursuant to
these land development regulations.
b. Properties of less than five hundred (500) acres located outside of the USB may
be subdivided into individual home sites equal to or less than the number of lots
permitted by the Transferable Development Value Map (figure 3-3 of the TVC
Element), however, any unused transferable development rights are not eligible
for participation in the TDR Program.
C. Transferable development rights on properties of less than five hundred (500)
acres located outside of the USB may be transferred but only (i) in a minimum
amount of ninety percent (90%) of the total transferable development rights on
the property; and (ii) to an eligible receiving site within the North St. Lucie
County SAP. Once a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of the transferable
development rights is transferred or designated for future transfer pursuant to
the process outlined in Subsection H, the sending property may then be
subdivided into individual home sites up to the number of lots permitted by the
remaining development rights. Such home sites are eligible to receive urban
services only at the property owner's expense. Parcels of at least 1.5 acres and
under ten (10) acres may transfer development rights provided only one (1)
transferable development right remains on the parcel and all others are
transferred or designated for future transfer.
4. Parcels of five hundred (500) or more acres located outside of USB and parcels of one
hundred ten (110) or more acres located inside the USB may use the TDR Program
to increase density to create a Village or Town, pursuant to these land development
regulations. Landowners may act as both transferor and transferee of the TDR
Credits and may apply TDR credits generated on site to developing the Net
Developable Area of the Town or Village. In addition, the following limitations apply:
a. Landowners who own five hundred (500) or more contiguous acres outside the
USB in the TVC Overlay Zone may not subdivide the property into individual
home sites according to the underlying base zone.
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 29 4:35 Adopted May 19, 2009
4.04.05 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
b. Subdividing parcels of five hundred (500) or more acres located outside the USB
for the express purpose of avoiding the regulations of the TVC Overlay Zone is
prohibited.
5. Parcels inside the USB that opt to develop in accordance with a planned zoning
district other than a PTV (See Section 4.04.04.E(1)(b)) may not participate in the
TDR Program as sending sites for either internal or off -site transferable develop-
ment right transfers.
F. The Use of Transferable Development Rights Within the Receiving Area.
1. The area to which TDR credits may be transferred is the receiving area. Eligible
receiving sites must be located within the North St. Lucie County SAP and include
the following:
a. Sites inside the Urban Service Boundary that are (i) designated on the North
St. Lucie County Preferred TDR Receiving Sites Map (Comprehensive Plan
Figure 11-12 of the TVC Element) or (ii) located within the TVC Overlay Zone;
or
b. Sites located outside the Urban Service Boundary, of five hundred (500) or more
acres in size, on which there is County approval to build a Town or a Village or
a Hamlet PUD. In such case, however, TDR credits sent from inside the USB
may only be from lands designated as Environmentally Significant by the
County, unless the land is contiguous. In addition, the transferable develop-
ment rights assigned to properties of five hundred (500) or more acres may be
used to develop the site as a Town or Village or a Hamlet PUD pursuant to this
Section.
2. Consolidation of Property. A parcel of five hundred (500) or more acres outside the
USB or one hundred ten (110) acres or more inside the USB in the TVC Overlay Zone
may be developed as a Town or Village through the use of transferable development
rights. Land area of five hundred (500) acres or more outside the USB may be
developed as a Hamlet using transferable development rights. If a landowner
completes a Town, Village and owns remaining land not associated with the Town or
Village, the transferable development rights from that remaining land may be sold to
another landowner or the land may be consolidated with other properties to form the
minimum size required to create another Town, Village using transferable develop-
ment rights pursuant to this Section. Separately owned, noncontiguous parcels of
less than the minimum size of a Town or Village in the TVC Overlay Zone may be
consolidated to create a Town or Village. Noncontiguous parcels may be consolidated
to form a Hamlet, provided, at least one (1) of the parcels is at least two hundred fifty
(250) acres and all parcels proposed for inclusion in a Hamlet are located within one
thousand five hundred (1,500) feet of the primary development parcel. Hamlets
utilizing noncontiguous parcels shall prioritize countryside (preservation or restora-

tion of native habitat, perpetual agricultural uses, other open space) on the outlying
parcels while ensuring compatibility of density, design and transition with surround-
ing land uses.
Calculation of Transferable Development Rights Credits. The number of TDR credits
that can be transferred from an eligible sending site to an eligible receiving site is
calculated by (a) on the sending site, multiplying the acreage and the dwelling units
per acre allowed on the Transferable Development Value Map (figure 3-3 of the TVC
Element), then subtracting the number of existing dwellings designated to remain on
the site and (b) multiplying the resulting sum by the applicable multiplier on Table
F-2 to yield the total number of TDR credits. (See Table F-1 as an example).

Table F-2 indicates the multiplier that is applicable to the appropriate transfer
condition, and used to multiply the allowable base zone density of the sending area.
For parcels that have more than one (1) transfer condition as described in Table F-2,
the multipliers for the corresponding portions of the site shall be applied. The
resulting sums shall be added together to compute the total TDR Credits for the
sending site (see the example in Table F-3).

4. The number of dwelling units available in the Net Developable area of a PTV is
established by (1) multiplying the gross acres in the net developable area by the
density permitted by the Transferable Development Value Map (figure 3-3 of the
TVC Element) then, (2) adding TDR Credits available from both internal and
external sending sites. The total number of dwelling units available in the proposed
Town or Village, is the sum of the number of TDR credits (as established in
Subsection 3. above) and the number of dwelling units permitted in the Net
Developable Area.

agricultural land sufficient to protect the function and operation of those uses from
the encroachment of Urban activities or uses.
K. Development Design. Planned Unit Developments in all Future Land Use Categories
are required to design the project in a manner to avoid, to the extent reasonable,
impacts to wetlands, native vegetative communities and protected species habitats.
L. Phasing.
1. A Planned Unit Development may be developed in more than one (1) stage or
phase.
2. If a Final Development Site Plan approved by the Board of County Commis-
sioners is to be developed in stages or phases, each successive phase shall be
constructed and developed in a reasonably continuous fashion. No more than
two (2) years shall elapse between the completion of any stage or phase, and the
final stage or phase shall be completed within ten (10) years of the date of Final
Development Site Plan approval. Extensions of the above requirements are
subject to approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Unless otherwise
amended by the Board of County Commissioners through the Final Develop-
ment Site Plan review process, the following sequence of development must be
adhered to:
a. One (1) or more major recreation facilities and other major amenities,
planned to serve the entire development, shall be completed or adequate
security posted prior to the issuance of building or mobile home permits of
more than forty percent (40%), or other percentage as determined by the
Board to be appropriate based on circumstances that include the size of the
project and the proposed phasing schedule, of the total number of
authorized dwelling units. Recreation facilities or facilities and other
amenities planned to serve one (1) phase of a multi -phased development
shall be completed or appropriate security posted prior to issuance of
building or mobile home permits or the recording of any final plat within
that phase.
b. No commercial facility shall be permitted prior to the completion of at least
forty percent (40%) of the total number of authorized dwelling units; and
C. For Planned Unit Developments to be constructed in stages or phases, the
net density of an individual stage or phase may vary from the approved
Final Site Plan subject to the requirements in Section 11.02.05.
M. Signs.
1. Signs within any Planned Unit Development, less than or equal to two hundred
(200) acres in overall area, shall comply with the provisions of Chapter IX of
