2. The Administrative Variance provides for a 20 percent reduction of the minimum required
10 ft. building setback from the street, allowing a reduction from 10 ft. to 8 ft for a proposed
staircase attached to a single-family home. The encroachment into the minimum required
front building setback is for a length of approximately 2 ft., generally parallel to the side
property line, for the proposed 4 ft. wide staircase depicted on the boundary survey
provided by the owner on March 13, 2026 as shown in Exhibit "A".
3. After consideration of staff's analysis found in a memorandum dated June 15, 2026,
entitled "2023 St Lucie Boulevard, Unit 188 Front Yard Setback Administrative Variance
Front yard setback reduction for a proposed staircase," including exhibits and the
standards of review for granting administrative variances set out in Land Development
Code Section 10.01.14.C., the Planning & Development Services Director has made the
following determinations:
The requested administrative variance meets the standards of review, where applicable,
as set forth in Section 10.01.14.C. of the 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. The Mobile Home Park was in legal existence upon the effective date of this
Ordinance (Ordinance No. 06-013).
b. The placement of the proposed structure will meet the intent of all separation
standards as required for all Mobile Home parks, any other applicable provision of
this Code, Florida Building Codes or the fire code(s) and that the requested
variance is the minimum necessary to locate the proposed structure on the
property.
c. A similar structure existed on the subject property at the proposed location of the
new structure on the effective date of this Ordinance (Ordinance No. 06-013.)

d. The placement of the proposed structure, if a mobile home, will not be located
closer than ten (10) ft (3 m) side to side, eight (8) ft (2.4 m) end to side, or six (6) ft
(1.8 m) end to end horizontally from any other mobile home, manufactured home,
single family detached dwelling or community building unless the exposed
composite walls and roof of either structure are without openings and constructed
of materials that will provide a one-hour fire rating or the structures are separated
by a one-hour fire-rated barrier.
e. The placement of the proposed structure, if an accessory structure, if located
immediately adjacent to a site line is constructed entirely of materials that do not
support combustion and provided that such buildings or structures are not less
than three (3)ft(0.9 m)from an accessory building or structure on an adjacent site.
An accessory building or structure constructed of combustible materials shall be
located no closer than five (5) feet (1.5 m) from the site line of an adjoining site.
f. The literal application of the provisions of the Code for required minimum yard
setback will result in an undue hardship on the property owners and would
otherwise prohibit the use of the petitioned property as others are used in the
surrounding neighborhood.
g. The variance requested will not result in any encroachment into any access/utility
easement or other common area.
h. The variance requested will not conflict with any other provision of this Code.
