1111 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.

St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 34 SH:3 Adopted May 19,2009
RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS 6.00.03
6.00.00. VEGETATION PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION
6.00.01. Intent.
It is the intent of the Board of County Commissioners to provide for the health,safety,and
welfare of the residents of and visitors to St. Lucie County by establishing an administrative
review process which encourages preservation of native habitat, and long-term sustainabil-
ity of our urban forest in accordance with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan and
beneficial land and forest management practices by minimizing the unnecessary removal of
valuable existing vegetation in advance of approved land development within the
unincorporated area of St. Lucie County. Healthy vegetation reduces air and noise pollution,
provides for the production of oxygen and sequestering of carbon dioxide, provides
energy-saving shade and cooling, furnishes habitat for wildlife, enhances aesthetics and
property values, and is an important contributor to community image, pride, and quality of
life. In addition, it is the intent of the Board to prevent such destructive land development
practices as speculative vegetation removal and clear cutting of land without a site plan or
vegetation management and mitigation plan.
6.00.02. Relationship to Other Sections of this Code.
A. The provisions of the following Sections shall supersede the provisions of this Section
to the extent of conflict.
1. Mangrove Protection, Section 6.01.00;
2. Environmentally Sensitive Lands, Section 6.02.00;
3. Wetland Protection, Section 6.02.03;
4. Coastal Area Protection, Section 6.02.01;
5. Shoreline Protection, Section 6.02.02;
6. Habitat of Endangered and Threatened Species, Section 6.03.00;
6.00.03. Notice of Vegetation Removal Required.
A. No person shall conduct any vegetation removal activities from or on any lot or parcel
of land or portion thereof in the unincorporated area of St. Lucie County without first
obtaining a Vegetation Removal Permit or Exemption from the Environmental Resources
Director, or his/her designee. The Notice of Vegetation Removal application shall be
completed in conformance with Section 11.05.06 of this Code. Protected vegetation shall be
defined as native vegetation. Types of Notice of Vegetation Removal approval include:
1. Exemptions. A number of specific activities have been determined to have minimal
adverse impact and are listed in Section 6.00.04. An application is required for the
Environmental Resources Department to review and issue a Vegetation Removal
Exemption for the exemption to mitigation.

D. The following activities shall require no official notification to the Environmental
Resources Director, or his/her designee and do not require a Vegetation Removal Permit or
Exemption:
1. Preserve and Parks Management Activities. Vegetation removal activities associated
with an adopted management plan for government maintained parks, recreation
areas,wildlife management areas,conservation areas and preserves. The purpose of
the vegetation removal activity shall be to protect and preserve the natural values

conducting prescribed burns, or construction of fences.
2. Existing Agricultural Operations.Vegetation removal,except within required preserve
areas or deeded conservation easements,which are part of the on-going activities of
the existing agricultural operation, shall not require a permit or exemption.
a. Initial clearing of native vegetation on a site shall be preceded by a letter to the
Environmental Resources Department. Bona fide agricultural activities include
commercial nursery, citrus groves, tree farm, aquaculture, row crops, ranch, or
similar operations. When removal of protected vegetation, has been performed
under this provision, no development order shall be approved for any other use
or improvement, including subdividing, on the same land within four (4)years
from the date of the last agricultural classification granted for that land by the
St. Lucie County Property Appraiser per F.S. § 193.461.
b. In the event of a hardship such as a natural disaster, the owner may request
that the Board of County Commissioners grant a variance from the provisions
of this subsection. The Board shall only grant the variance if the Board

3. Routine Landscape Maintenance. Trimming or pruning of vegetation which is not
intended to result in the eventual death of the vegetation,mowing of yards or lawns,
or any other landscaping or gardening activity which is commonly recognized as
routine maintenance, replacement or relandscaping which does not result in the
eventual death of any vegetation, does not require the approval of a Notice of
Vegetation Removal Permit or Exemption.
4. Water Control District Management Activities. Vegetation removal activities associ-
ated with the operation and maintenance of a water control district system for
drainage purposes. The purpose of the vegetation removal activity shall be to protect
and preserve drainage function within jurisdictional rights-of-way, easement, and
prescribed easement according to historical maintenance efforts. All activities shall
require implementation of best management practices, as appropriate, to ensure
State water quality standards are met.
5. Pursuant to F.S. § 163.045, the removal of a native tree on a residential property
with a single-family, detached dwelling unit, if the property owner possesses
documentation from an arborist certified by the ISA or a Florida licensed landscape
architect that the tree poses an unacceptable risk to persons or property. A tree poses
an unacceptable risk if removal is the only means of practically mitigating its risk
below moderate, as determined by the tree risk assessment procedures outlined in
Best Management Practices—Tree Risk Assessment, Second Edition (2017).
(Ord. No. 2025-025, Pt. B, 12-2-2025)

roadway extension or expansion, for roads identified in the County's Right-of-Way
Protection Plan or the Jenkins Road Area Plan(special district)as well as prescribed
by a site plan approval, site development permit or roadway improvement agree-
ment, provided the roadway will be dedicated to and is agreed to be accepted by St.
Lucie County for perpetual ownership and maintenance. The roadway acceptance
will be determined by the County; at such time the improvement serves as a
thoroughfare for the County's overall roadway network.
D. The removal of any native vegetation within an existing County right-of-way, when
such removal is necessary to accommodate the construction, reconstruction or
improvement prescribed by a site plan approval,site development permit or roadway
improvement agreement. As used in this section, County right-of-way means land in
which St. Lucie County currently owns the fee or has a platted or conveyed easement
devoted to, or required for, use by the public.
E. The removal of native vegetation which has been determined to be a safety hazard,
destroyed or damaged beyond saving by natural causes or causes not covered by
other sections of this chapter, is infected with disease or is infested with insects, or
which constitutes immediate peril to life property or other trees, and where pruning
or trimming of the vegetation is not able to alleviate the hazard.
F. The removal of native vegetation, upon any detached single-family residential lot or
parcel of land having an area of one (1) acre or less. This exemption is, however,
subject to the following conditions:
1. Nothing in this exemption shall exempt any person from the landscaping
requirements set forth in Section 7.09.00 of this Code;
2. This exemption shall not be construed to allow the removal or alteration of any
protected vegetation without a Vegetation Removal Permit on any exempted lot
or parcel of land by its subdivider unless the subdivider intends in good faith to
construct a residential unit or units upon the lot or parcel of land prior to its
sale. Advertisement or listing the lot or parcel of land for sale without a
residential unit shall create a presumption that the subdivider does not intend
to construct such a unit and that the intent is for a subsequent purchaser to
develop the lot or parcel.
3. No native vegetation twenty-four(24)inches, or greater, DBH shall be removed
from any residential parcel (including those in the AG-5, AG-2.5, AG-1, AR-1,
RE-1, and R/C zoning districts), regardless of parcel size, without an approved
Vegetation Removal Permit and an approved mitigation plan. The Environmental
Resources Director, or his/her designee may reduce the requirements for1111

Supp. No. 34 6:6 Adopted May 19,2009
RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS 6.00.05
mitigation on individual residential lots one-half-acre or less where a protected
tree twenty-four (24) inches DBH or greater must be removed in order to
provide for the reasonable use of the property.
G. The removal or alteration of any non-native vegetation.
(Ord. No. 2025-025, Pt. B, 12-2-2025)
6.00.05. Criteria Governing Approval of Vegetation Removal Permit.
A. Removal of Native Vegetation. The Environmental Resources Director, or his/her
designee, shall issue a Vegetation Removal Permit only if a completed application has been
submitted to the Environmental Resources Director,or his/her designee,and is accompanied
by sufficient evidence demonstrating that at least one (1) of the following criteria has been
satisfied:
1. The applicant for a final development order shall demonstrate that the removal of
the native vegetation is the minimum necessary in order to implement a Final
Development Order and that reasonable efforts have been made to microsite
impervious surfaces to protect native vegetation or provide details supporting why
preservation of the existing native vegetation is not practically feasible and prevents
the reasonable development of the site. The Environmental Resources Director, or
his/her designee shall determine the appropriateness of any such claim. The
applicant shall provide the Environmental Resources Director,or his/her designee,or
his/her designee, a survey of the property outlining the areas of proposed vegetation
removal including the location of all vegetation as outlined in Section 11.05.06.
2. A Final Development Order has not been issued,or is not required by this Code. The
applicant for the vegetation removal permit shall demonstrate that the removal of
the native vegetation is the minimum necessary in order to allow for the construction
of the intended use or improvement of the property and that reasonable efforts have
been made to microsite impervious surfaces to protect native vegetation or provide
details supporting why preservation of the existing native vegetation is not
practically feasible and prevents the reasonable development of the site. The
Environmental Resources Director,or his/her designee shall determine the appropriate-
ness of any such claim. The applicant shall provide the Environmental Resources
Director, or his/her designee, or his/her designee, a survey of the property outlining
the areas of proposed vegetation removal including the location of all vegetation as
outlined in Section 11.05.06.
B. Limiting Removal of Native Vegetation. Prior to the removal of any native vegetation,
the removal plan must demonstrate that effective efforts have been made to micro-site
impervious surfaces to avoid or minimize impacts to such vegetation.
The extent of approval to remove any native vegetation shall be limited by the Environmental
Resources Director,or his/her designee to the minimum necessary to accomplish the purpose
• of the removal. This may include limiting the extent of approval to portions of a lot or parcel
of land or specifying special conditions by which removal shall take place. Such limitation
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 34 6:7 Adopted May 19,2009
6.00.05 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
shall be clearly indicated in writing on or attached to the Vegetation Removal Permit. If
vegetation removal is limited to a portion of a lot or parcel of land, the extent of such
limitation shall be clearly delineated on the face of any site development plans. The
application for Vegetation Removal Permit shall demonstrate consistency with the require-
ments of Section 7.09.03(E)(7).
C. Vegetation Protection Standards During the Duration of an Approved Notice of
Vegetation Removal. The following minimum standards for vegetation protection shall be
applied to any area of vegetation designated to be preserved under the terms of an approved
Vegetation Removal:
1. A conspicuous, suitable protective barrier, constructed of metal,wood, safety fencing
or other durable material, shall be placed and maintained around the perimeter of
the protected area to form a continuous unbroken boundary, around individual
protected trees, or groups of protected vegetation, or other protected areas, as
follows:
a. At a minimum distance of twenty-five(25)feet from all jurisdictional wetlands;
or
b. At a minimum distance of ten (10)feet from all required shoreline buffer zones
as required in Sections 6.02.01 and 6.02.02.
c. At a minimum distance of either ten (10) feet from the edge of groups or areas
of protected vegetation or from the radius of the dripline from all protected
trees, whichever is greater; or
d. As otherwise provided in special conditions attached to a Notice of Vegetation
Removal.
2. Special care shall be taken that preservation areas are properly marked and highly
visible so that equipment operators can see the limits of permitted removal activity.
3. Protective barriers or protective designations shall remain in place until removal is
authorized by the Environmental Resources Director, or his/her designee, or until
issuance of a certificate of occupancy or other use authorization as may be granted by
the Environmental Resources Director, or his/her designee.
In the event that any protective barriers are removed or altered and clearing
activities are conducted within an area identified for preserve under the issued
Vegetation Removal Permit, the Environmental Resources Director, or his/her
designee is authorized to direct that all land clearing and site alteration work at the
site be stopped until the barriers are restored and any necessary corrective actions
taken to repair or replant any vegetation removed or damaged as a result of these
encroachments.
4. The entire vegetation preservation area shall be maintained in its natural state so as
not to alter the water and oxygen content of the soil and impair its natural function.

5. No grade changes or excavation of any sort may be made within the vegetation
preservation area that require trenching or cutting of roots, except in compliance
with the terms of special conditions in an approved Vegetation Removal Permit. If
underground utilities must be routed through a protected root zone area, tunneling
under the roots shall be required. Irrigation shall be installed outside of the dripline
of all protected trees.
These modifications shall be based upon the suggested standards in the latest
edition of the"Tree Protection Manual for Builders and Developers"published by the
Division of Forestry of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services, or a similarly recognized reference manual.
6. No soil shall be removed from within a vegetation preservation area.
7. No fill material, construction material, concrete, paint, chemicals, or other foreign
materials shall be stored, deposited or disposed of within a vegetation preservation
area.
8. No signs, permits, wires, or other attachments, other than those of protective and
non-damaging nature, shall be affixed or attached to protected vegetation.
9. If landscaping is to be installed within a vegetation preservation area after removal
0 of protective barriers or designations, installation shall be accomplished using hand
labor, unless use of light machinery is proven to be necessary and methodology is
approved by the Environmental Resources Director, or his/her designee.
10. Any equipment, including passenger vehicles, shall not be driven, parked, or stored
or repaired within designated vegetation preservation areas.
11. Vegetation destroyed or damaged as part of the development of a site or parcel, shall
be replaced by vegetation of equal environmental value as specified by the
Environmental Resources Director, or his/her designee, in consultation with the
Planning and Development Services Director, before any occupancy or final use
permit authorizations are issued.
12. The authorized removal of any non-protected vegetation in the vegetation preserva-
tion area shall be accomplished using hand labor, unless use of light machinery is
proven to be necessary and methodology is approved by the Environmental
Resources Director, or his/her designee. Only the above ground portions of the
non-protected vegetation may be removed and the stump shall be properly treated
with an approved herbicide; the root systems of the protected vegetation must
remain undisturbed.
13. If any roots of protected vegetation is exposed or damaged, the applicant shall
immediately correct the situation by covering the roots with a high quality of soil to
III match the existing grades, pruning any splintered roots and providing water until
the vegetation has recovered.
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 34 6:9 Adopted May 19,2009
6.00.05 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
14. The applicant shall provide the Environmental Resources Director, or his/her
designee,a written plan to control erosion which may be expected to occur as a result
of the proposed removal of protected vegetation. The erosion control plan must be
approved by the Environmental Resources Director, or his/her designee, prior to the
commencement of any removal of protected vegetation. All provisions of the plan
shall be incorporated as express conditions of any Notice of Vegetation Removal
issued under this paragraph.
D. Mitigation. When native vegetation meeting the mitigation size thresholds in Table 1
below has been approved for removal based on meeting one (1) or more of the above
standards, the Vegetation Removal Permit shall only be used after an acceptable mitigation
plan has been reviewed and approved by the Environmental Resources Director, or his/her
designee. Prior to the issuance of any zoning compliance, certificate of capacity or other
recognized authorization for the commencement of the permitted development activity, the
replacement vegetation shall be preserved, relocated, or planted, or the appropriate
mitigation fees shall be paid to the County. Only native vegetation shall be allowed tq meet
any required mitigation. The replacement vegetation shall be the same species as that which
was removed, unless proven to be impractical, in which case, an alternative native species,
approved by the Environmental Resources Director, or his/her designee, shall be used. The
quality and size of the replacement trees shall meet the minimum landscape requirements
set forth in Section 7.09.03(E). The Environmental Resources Director may authorize
substitutions and phased or longer planting schedules that meet the environmental and
aesthetic intent of the Land Development Code as long as the total diameter-at-breast-
height requirement is still met, allowing trees to be mitigated with native shrubs and
herbaceous plant materials at a ratio of one(1)inch to twenty-four(24)one-gallon plants. A
waiver of all mitigation requirements shall require the approval of the Board of County
Commissioners.
1. Mitigation Sizes. Mitigation shall be required for the loss of any healthy, native
vegetation with the minimum sizes as outlined in Table 1 below.
Vegetation shall be measured as"DBH",or diameter at breast height,which refers to
trunk diameter at four and one-half(4'/2)feet above grade; or "C.T.", or clear trunk,
which refers to the measurement of palm trees from grade to the base of the living
fronds, or base of the head of palm trees. The three(3)multiple trunk species below,
Seagrape, Pigeon Plum, and Wax Myrtle, shall qualify for mitigation when one(1)of
their trunks meets the minimum size threshold listed below.

2. Mitigation Ratios.
a. Calculating Required Mitigation.
1. Where mitigation is required to compensate for the loss of native
vegetation, meeting the minimum size thresholds outlined in Table 1, the
replacement vegetation shall be calculated at a ratio of two(2)inches DBH
replacement per one(1)inch DBH removed(2:1). (For example,removal of
a twelve-inch Slash Pine results in twenty-four (24) inches required
mitigation)
2. Palm tree mitigation shall be calculated at a ratio of one (1) palm tree
preserved/relocated/planted per one (1) palm tree removed (1:1). Palm
trees shall not be counted towards mitigation of non-palm species. (For
example, removal of one (1) Cabbage Palm with a clear trunk measuring
ten (10) feet or greater results in required mitigation of one (1) Cabbage
Palm with a clear trunk measuring ten (10)feet or greater.)

3. Mitigation Compliance Methods.
No. 34 St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. 6:12 Adopted May 19,2009
RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS 6.00.05
a. Diameter based mitigation methods shall be considered as follows:
1. All native vegetation shall be protected on site to the greatest extent
possible. If this is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Environmental
Resources Director, or his/her designee, to be impractical, then;
2. All native vegetation, that occurs in areas to be impacted by a proposed
development activity requiring the removal of the vegetation, shall be
relocated elsewhere on or off site, to the greatest extent possible. Vegeta-
tion relocated off-site shall be relocated to a publicly owned property
within St. Lucie County, to a location approved by the County. A plan,
outlining proposed transplant and maintenance methods,shall be approved
by the Environmental Resources Director pursuant to this option being
permitted. In order to be credited towards mitigation for a site, the
applicant must be responsible for all of the costs responsibilities of the
relocation operation. If this is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
Public Works Director, or his/her designee, to be impractical, then;
3. The amount of mitigation shall be planted on the development site using
the following credit ratios.

5"-10" 1:1.5
2.5"-4.5" 1:1
(For example, if a twelve-inch tree is planted, then twenty-four(24)inches of credit
are granted.}
The replanting design shall allow for adequate root and crown develop-
ment. If this is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Environmental
Resources Director,or his/her designee,the development site does not have
the capacity to hold all of the required mitigation, then;
4. Contribute two hundred dollars ($200.00) per inch DBH of remaining
required mitigation to the County to be used at the County's discretion for
either the acquisition and maintenance of publicly owned environmentally
unique lands, or to be used for relocating or replanting native trees on
public lands.

•
b. Alternative Mitigation Compliance Methods. A complete Environmental Assess-
ment shall be required for the following mitigation methods, therefore a tree
survey shall not be required unless specifically requested by the Environmental
Resources Director, or his/her designee.
1. If a site is consistent with the following minimum standards, twenty-five
percent (25%) of the existing native upland habitat can be preserved on
site to take the place of all tree mitigation requirements.
a. The habitat preservation area shall not measure less than fifteen
precent (15%) of a total site, unless it is proven to the satisfaction to
the Environmental Resources Director, or his/her designee, that
fifteen percent (15%) of the total site would prevent reasonable
development of the site, then the preserve area may measure less
than fifteen percent(15%)of the site, but shall measure no less than
fifty(50) acres;
b. The habitat preservation area shall be interconnected with adjacent
habitat preserve areas in neighboring parcels where applicable, to
facilitate appropriate management and to maximize natural resources
values;
c. Habitat preservation areas shall minimize edge to interior ratio, and
shall have no minimum dimension less than one hundred (100) feet,
and shall not exceed a length to width ratio of three to one (3:1)
unless exceeding this ratio allows for superior connections with
adjacent parcels or other environmental benefits.
d. The habitat preservation area shall be platted in its entirety as
separate tract or tracts.
e. The habitat preservation area must be covered by a Conservation
Easement dedicated to, or made in favor of, the County.
f. The habitat preserve area shall have "Preserve Area Management
and Monitoring Plan" approved by the County in order to ensure the
continued, adequate, and appropriate management of the site and
the continued protection of the site from adverse impacts. The
Preserve Area Management Plan shall be recorded in the public
records of the County and shall at a minimum identify the area
covered by the plan, its ownership, and assignment of management
and maintenance responsibility.
g. If the preserve area is identified in either the St. Lucie County
Native Habitat Inventory or the St. Lucie County Greenway's and
Trails Master Plan, then all or portions of the above outlined
guidelines may be waived with the approval of the County Commis-
sion.
h. If the area proposed for preservation does not qualify as high quality
4110
native habitat, a restoration plan may be submitted including one
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 34 6:14 Adopted May 19,2009
RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS 6.00.05
hundred percent (100%) exotic removal, a planting plan incorporat-
ing canopy, sub-canopy, and ground cover species. Ninety percent
(90%) survival rate will be required of the plant materials and shall
be guaranteed as part of the "Preserve Area Management and
Monitoring Plan".
2. Purchase the required amount of remaining mitigation, using the credit
ratio outlined in Table 3, and facilitate the installation, by a qualified
professional,on an approved publicly managed site,including Environmental
Significant Land properties, parks, road rights-of-way, or other public
facility, or delivery to the St. Lucie County nursery program; or
3. The purchase of land off the subject parcel, elsewhere in St. Lucie County
on a property identified in either the St. Lucie County Native Habitat
Inventory or the St. Lucie County Greenway's and Trails Master Plan, to
be given to St. Lucie County for ownership and management. The off-site
land shall be similar in ecological value based on habitat existing on site as
well as the land value of the subject parcel.
4. A property owner may propose to establish or acquire credits in an off-site
mitigation bank located in St. Lucie County. A report, including the
location of the property, an environmental assessment of the property, a
0 tree survey (if applicable), a restoration plan (if applicable), and a
management plan shall be submitted for this option to be considered. The
mitigation bank property shall either be given to St. Lucie County for
ownership and management or placed under a conservation easement,
dedicated to, or in favor of, St. Lucie County.
4. Inspection Required. As part of the issuance of any Final Development Order/Permit
requiring the mitigation of trees as set forth in this Code, the property owner shall
submit to an inspection of the planted/relocated/preserved materials eighteen (18)
months after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or other use authorization as
may be granted by the Environmental Resources Director,or his/her designee for the
County. If it is determined that the planted/relocated/preserved trees are dead,
diseased or otherwise not in compliance with the provisions of this Code and the
original approved mitigation plan, the property owner shall be provided notice and
directed to correct any observed deficiencies and replace all noncompliant trees
within sixty (60) days. Failure to maintain all required mitigation shall be grounds
for referral to the Code Enforcement Board for appropriate enforcement actions. The
Environmental Resources Director, or his/her designee is authorized to include
within the building permit fee, adequate charges to cover the costs of enforcing the
requirements of this section.
E. Supplemental Requirements. The Environmental Resources Director,or his/her designee
III may impose supplemental requirements as a special condition of a Vegetation Removal
Permit when necessary to carry out the intent of this section. These supplemental standards
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 34 6:14.1 Adopted May 19,2009

6.01.01. Reference to State Regulation and Authority.
F.S. §§ 403.9321 through 403.9333, recognize the value that mangroves have on the
natural function of the ecosystem throughout the State of Florida and the economic impact
that a healthy mangrove system has on the sports and commercial fishing industries of the
State. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has been delegated by the
Florida Legislature the statewide responsibility for the protection of the mangrove forest
system, with specific allowances for limited trimming and alteration to be conducted by
professional mangrove trimmers without the need for prior permit authorizations. Any
person seeking to alter or trim mangroves in the unincorporated parts of St. Lucie County
may do so only incompliance with the provisions of F.S. §§ 403.9321 through 403.9333, as
may be amended from time to time. Any person seeking to alter or trim mangroves in the
unincorporated parts of St. Lucie County must contact the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection for permitting requirements.
Local delegation of mangrove regulation has not been requested by St. Lucie County.

Section 12131, et. seq.) ("ADA"). For purposes of this section, a "disabled" individual or
person is an individual that qualifies as disabled and/or handicapped under the FHA and/or
ADA. Any person who is disabled (or a qualifying entity) may request a reasonable
accommodation with respect to the County's land use or zoning laws,rules,policies,practices
and/or procedures as provided by the FHA and the ADA pursuant to the procedures set out
in this section. Unless specifically allowed in any other section within the County's Land
Development Code, any licensed or certified residential provider (including any Certified
Recovery Residence as defined in F.S. § 397.311(5)) must seek approval from the County
through an application for reasonable accommodation as set forth herein.
2. A request by an applicant for reasonable accommodation under this section shall be
made in writing by completion of a reasonable accommodation request form, which form is
maintained by(and shall be submitted to) the Planning and Development Services (PD&S)
Department. The reasonable accommodation request form shall be substantially in the form
set forth in subsection 10. below and upon receipt by the County, will be date-stamped. If
additional information is required by the County, the application will not be considered
complete,and the County will notify the applicant in writing within the first thirty(30)days
after the receipt of the application. The applicant shall have thirty(30)days after the receipt
of the notice from the County to respond to the request. The applicant's failure to respond in
whole or in part shall be deemed an abandonment of the application, and it will be
4110 considered withdrawn. Within seven (7) days after the County's receipt of the additional
information (but no later than thirty-seven (37) days from the applicant's receipt of the
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 34 7:233 Adopted May 19,2009
7.10.30 ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
County's request for additional information),the County will notify the applicant in writing
as to whether the application is deemed complete or whether the application is considered
abandoned.
3. Should the information provided by the disabled individual to the County include
medical information or records,including records indicating the medical condition,diagnosis
or medical history of the disabled individual, such individual may, at the time of submitting
such medical information, request that the County, to the extent allowed by law, treat such
medical information as confidential information of the disabled individual. The County shall
thereafter endeavor to provide written notice to the disabled individual, and/or their
representative, of any request received by the County for disclosure of the medical
information or documentation, which the disabled individual has previously requested be
treated as confidential by the County. The County will cooperate with the disabled
individual,to the extent allowed by law,in actions initiated by such individual to oppose the
disclosure of such medical information or documentation, but the County shall have no
obligation to initiate, prosecute or pursue any such action, or to incur any legal or other
expenses (whether by retention of outside counsel or allocation of internal resources) in
connection therewith, and may comply with any judicial order without prior notice to the
disabled individual.
4. The County Administrator, or his/her designee, shall have the authority to consider
and act on requests for reasonable accommodation,after notice and a hearing to receive any
additional information from the applicant. When a reasonable accommodation request form
has been completed and submitted to the PD&S Director, it will be referred to the County
Administrator, or designee, for review and consideration. The County Administrator, or
designee, shall issue a written determination within sixty(60)days of the date of receipt of
a completed application and may, in accordance with federal law, (1) grant the accommoda-
tion request, (2) grant a portion of the request and deny a portion of the request, and/or
impose conditions upon the grant of the request, or(3)deny the request,in accordance with
federal law. Any such denial shall be in writing and shall state the specific objective and
evidence-based grounds therefore and identify any deficiencies or actions necessary for
reconsideration. All written determinations shall give notice of the right to appeal. The
notice of determination shall be sent to the requesting party(i.e., the disabled individual or
entity or his/her/its representative) by certified mail, return receipt requested. Unless the
County and the applicant agree otherwise, if a final written determination is not issued by
the County within sixty(60) days after receipt of a completed application, the request shall
be deemed granted. In addition, any reasonable accommodation a granted may be revoked
for cause,including,but not limited to, a violation of any of the conditions for approval or,in
the case of any licensed or certified operator, the lapse, revocation or failure to maintain
licensure or certification, if not reinstated within one hundred-eighty (180) days.
5. In determining whether the reasonable accommodation request shall be granted or
denied, the requesting party shall be required to establish that they are protected under the
FHA and/or ADA by demonstrating that they are handicapped or disabled, as defined in the
FHA and/or ADA. Although the definition of disability is subject to judicial interpretation,
St. Lucie County Land Development Code
Supp. No. 34 7:234 Adopted May 19,2009
DEVELOPMENT DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS 7.10.30
for purposes of this section, the disabled individual must show: (i) a physical or mental
impairment which substantially limits one (1) or more major life activities; (ii) a record of
having such impairment; or (iii) that they are regarded as having such impairment. Next,
the requesting party will have to demonstrate that the proposed accommodations being
sought are reasonable and necessary to afford handicapped/disabled persons equal opportunity
to use and enjoy housing. The foregoing(as interpreted by the Courts)shall be the basis for
a decision upon a reasonable accommodation request made by the County Administrator, or
designee.
6. Within thirty(30) days after the County Administrator's, or designee's, determination
on a reasonable accommodation request is mailed to the requesting party, such applicant
may appeal the decision to the Circuit Court. Such appeal shall not be a hearing de novo but
shall be limited to appellate review of the record created before the County Administrator or
designee. An appeal shall be filed within thirty (30) days of the execution of the
determination.
7. There shall be no fee imposed by the County in connection with a request for
reasonable accommodation under this section, and the County shall have no obligation to
pay a requesting party's (or an appealing party's, as applicable) attorneys' fees or costs in
connection with the request, or an appeal.
8. While an application for reasonable accommodation, or appeal of a determination of
same,is pending before the County,the County will not enforce the subject zoning ordinance,
rules,policies,and procedures against the applicant. However, should the applicant proceed
with any property purchase,building,construction,or other work associated with establish-
ing a project or residence housing individuals covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act
or the Fair Housing Act while an application or appeal for reasonable accommodation is
pending,the applicant understands that any of these actions are done at the applicant's own
risk because the application or appeal may be denied.
9. The following general provisions shall be applicable:
(a) The County shall display a notice on the County's webpage (and shall maintain
copies available for review in P&Z, the Building/Permitting Division, and the City
Clerk's Office)advising the public disabled individuals(and qualifying entities)may
request reasonable accommodation as provided herein.
(b) A disabled individual or qualifying entity may apply for a reasonable accommodation
on his/her/its own behalf or may be represented at all stages of the reasonable
accommodation process by a person designated by the disabled individual or entity.
(c) The County shall provide such assistance and accommodation as is required
pursuant to FHA and ADA in connection with a disabled person's or entity's request
for reasonable accommodation,including without limitation,assistance with reading
application questions,responding to questions,completing the form,filing an appeal,
and appearing at a hearing, etc., to ensure the process is accessible.
