RESOLUTION NO. 2025-002
File No.: VAR-2412-000055
A RESOLUTION DENYING A VARIANCE FOR
CERTAIN PROPERTY LOCATED IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment of St. Lucie County, Florida, based on the testimony and
evidence, including, but not limited to the staff report, has made the following determinations:
1. Petition of Mateo Salgado Benavides and Sheila Lucia Medrano to permit a storage
shed, approximately 392 sq. ft., to encroach into the required 7.5 ft. side yard (setback)
by 1.6 ft., resulting in a 5.9 ft. side yard (setback), and into the required 15 ft. rear yard
(setback) by 9.7 ft., resulting in a 5.3 ft. rear yard (setback), within the RS-4 (Residential,
Single-Family - 4) Zoning District.
2. On February 26, 2025, this Board held a public hearing on the petition, after publishing a
notice of such hearing in the St. Lucie News Tribune, installing a sign on the property
and notifying by mail all owners of property within 500 feet of the subject property.
3. After consideration of the testimony presented during the public hearing, including staff
comments, exhibits, and the standards of review for granting variances set out in Section
10.01.02, St. Lucie County Land Development Code, the Board of Adjustment has made
the following determinations:
The requested Variance has not met the standards of review as set forth in Section
10.01.02, St. Lucie County Land Development Code and is not in conflict with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, because:
a. Based on the testimony given, the evidence presented, the variance does not
arise from conditions that are unique and peculiar to the land and physical
surroundings and does not result in an unnecessary hardship for the owner; and
b. The variance requested is not the minimum variance that will make possible the
reasonable use of land and structures; and
c. Without the requested variance, the property owner would still have reasonable
use of the land.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Adjustment of St. Lucie County,
Florida:
A. Mateo Salgado Benavides and Sheila Lucia Medrano petitioned for a Variance from the
provisions of Section 7.04.01 (Table 7-10) Lot Size and Dimensional Requirements of
the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, to allow an after-the-fact building permit
for a storage shed to encroach into the required 7.5 ft. side yard (setback) by 1.6 ft., and
into the required 15 ft. rear yard (setback) by 9.7 ft. for the southeast storage structure,
