WHEREAS, the St. Lucie County Planning and Development Services Director has reviewed the request for a development order administrative extension timely submitted by the owner of Gator State Storage FP. LLC. and has made the following determinations: 1. On March 28. 2024, Engineering, Design, and Construction, Inc.. submitted on behalf of Gator State Storage FP LLC, a Minor Adjustment to a Minor Site Plan and Conditional Use to add an unmanned security access gate and portable (movable) storage pods. The Adjustment also affirmed the current project name and ownership. The site is located at 6070 S US Highway 1, Fort Pierce, FL 34982, within the CG (Commercial, General) Zoning District. 2. On March 28, 2025, Rolando Maytin. owner of Gator State Storage, applied for a Site Plan extension pursuant to Section 252.363 Florida Statutes. The requested Development Order extension is pursuant to Executive Orders 2024-287 (Hurricane Ian), and 24-264(Hurricane Milton). The project has a current expiration date of March 28, 2025. 3. On September 23, 2022, Governor DeSantis issued Executive Order Number 22-218 declaring a state of emergency for certain counties in the State of Florida, including St. Lucie County. as a result of the threat of Tropical Storm Nine/Hurricane Ian. This emergency declaration was effective on September 23, 2022. and would have expired 60 days later, on November 22, 2022. The Governor issued Executive Order 22-219 on September 24, 2022, expanding the state of emergency to cover the entire State of Florida. However, subsequent executive orders have continued to extend executive orders 22-218 and 22-219, through Executive Order 24-287. which extended the State of Emergency (SOE) to February 16, 2025. The deadline to file an extension notification was May 17, 2025, for Hurricane Ian. 4. On October 5. 2024, Governor DeSantis issued Executive Order 24-264 for sixty (60) days due to the threat of Tropical Storm Milton to the State of Florida residents. The eligible tolling period for this emergency declaration is sixty (60) days plus twenty-four(24)months. The State of Emergency for Hurricane Milton in St. Lucie County ends on February 2, 2025. Pursuant to Section 252.363(1)(b), the deadline to file an extension notification was May 3, 2025. for Hurricane Milton. 5. Senate Bill 250, approved by the Governor on June 28, 2023, and effective July 1, 2023, amends Section 252.363(1)(a) Florida Statutes, increasing the extension of the expiration dates for such permits or other authorizations from six (6) months to twenty-four (24) months per state of emergency (plus the duration of the emergency declaration), but limiting File No.: EDO-2503-000055 PDS Order No. 2025-044 Page: 1 the extended period under overlapping states of emergency to forty-eight (48) months. 6. Florida Statutes Section 252.363 requires that a specific written notice be filed with the issuing authority within ninety (90) days after the termination of the declaration of emergency. The applicant applied for the extensions on March 28, 2025. which was within the timeframe allotted by statute. 7.
