A. PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
1.Orange Avenue 35 AC PNRD - Rezoning & Preliminary Site Plan - PD-2304-000027 - THIS ITEM IS
QUASI-JUDICIAL
This public hearing was Quasi -Judicial, and the commissioners made the following disclosures regarding this
item:
Commissioner Jamie Fowler - Spoke with staff only.
Commissioner Linda Bartz - Spoke with staff only.
Commissioner Larry Leet- Spoke with staff only.
Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky - Spoke with staff only.
Chair Cathy Townsend - Spoke with staff and Tod Mowery.
Irene Szedlmayer, Senior Planner, and Kori Benton, Planning Manager of Planning & Development Services
presented this item to the Board. Redtail Design Group has submitted a petition to re -zone a property located
at 126 Shinn Road, on behalf of the property owners. The re -zoning aims to change the current Agricultural-1
(AG-1) zoning to Planned Non -Residential Development (PNRD). Along with this, a Preliminary Site Plan has
also been submitted. The property is situated in the West Orange Mixed Use Activity Area. Following the
public notice requirements of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, an advertisement for the public
hearing was published in the St. Lucie County Tribune on November 2, 2023, and notices were mailed to 18
adjacent property owners located within a 500 feet radius, and signs were placed on Orange Avenue and
Shinn Road. Redtail Design Group has submitted a petition to re -zone a property located at 126 Shinn Road,
on behalf of the property owners. The re -zoning aims to change the current Agricultural-1 (AG-1) zoning to
Planned Non -Residential Development (PNRD). Along with this, a Preliminary Site Plan has also been
submitted.
The property is situated in the West Orange Mixed Use Activity Area. The subject site is an
approximately 387-acre free-standing Urban Services Boundary and additional land east and west of Shinn
Road and north and south of Orange Avenue is designated low intensity. The proposed Zoning Atlas only
affects the subject 35-acre property, and it will become a Planned Non -Residential Zoning District. The
proposed Orange Avenue Preliminary Development Plan proposes permitted, conditional and accessory uses
consistent with the Industrial Light Zoning District and the West Orange Low Intensity MXD Activity Area. No
public transit serves this area. The Preliminary Development Plan proposes the creation of three lots 10.96
acres, 11.92 acres, and 11.98 acres each fronting Orange Avenue. The proposal increases the minimum rear
and side setbacks above Industrial Light minimum standards when the development abuts agricultural lots or
estate residential lots, from 20 ft. to 25 ft, and from 10 ft. to 20 ft., respectively. The maximum building
height is 60 ft., and the maximum building cover cannot exceed 50%. The building height of 60 feet exceeds
the limit allowed in the industrial zone, which allows buildings up to 50 feet in height. However, it is still lower
than the limit allowed in the agricultural zoning district. There are no building footprints, stormwater, or
parking details at this time which will come with the final site plan. All non-residential and residential yard
perimeter buffer areas should have an 8ft tall masonry wall or opaque wood fence to form a continuous

screen. Which includes a continuous hedge along both the inside and outside base of the wall or fence, with
trees planted every 30 ft. along the length of the wall or fence. In addition to the opaque wall/fence, the Land
Development Code requires a minimum 10 ft. wide landscape buffer along the north and west side
boundaries, adjacent to Orange Avenue and Shinn Road.
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the amendment to the Zoning
atlas and the associated Preliminary Development Plan to the Board subject to the conditions identified by
staff in the staff report and drafted resolution. Staff recommends that the Board adopt Resolution 2023-217
approving the re -zoning and Preliminary Planned Non -Residential Development Site Plan, subject to the
conditions identified in the staff report and draft resolution, authorizing the Chair to sign documents as
approved by the County Attorney.
Commissioner Dzadovsky commented on the buffering setbacks, surrounding residents, and the adopted
standards.

Following the public notice requirements, notices were placed in the local newspaper, mail notices were
sent to property owners within 500 feet of the subject property, and a sign was placed on the property. The
property is located north of Orange Avenue, along the west side of the Jenkins Road extension north of
Orange Avenue due north of Loop Road abutting the canal that runs parallel to and south of Floyd Johnson
Road. The petitioned undeveloped site is a combination of two parcels 34 acres in size located within the
Urban Service Boundary (USB). The property is currently owned by Joseph Miller and the petitioners are Lori
and Richard Tambone of the Tambone Companies. They are partnering with representatives from the
Engineering and Design Construction Team to pursue the petition. The site is located within the Mixed -Use
Development (MXD) Future Land Use category, specifically within the Loop Road Mixed -Use Activity Area,
and inside the Urban Service Boundary (USB). In August of 2002, the Board updated the activity area's Low -
Intensity subarea to support Light Industrial/ Warehouse land uses, including flex space buildings to support
the demand in the area. The Planned Development (PNRD) process provides an opportunity to transition use
and design from Orange Avenue north to the canal south of Floyd Johnson Road, replacing the Agricultural
Residential-1 and Commercial General (CG) districts with compatible industrial light activities that will
support Interstate -side industrial and distribution facilities in this segment of the Orange Avenue corridor
and business hubs adjacent to the Interstate 95 interchange.
The rezoning from AR-1 Agricultural, Residential-1 (AR-1), and Commercial General (CG) to the Planned Non -
Residential Development Zoning District and preliminary site plan proposes multiple industrial buildings
totaling approximately 374,000 sq. ft., two proposed dry detention areas, one 1 proposed lake, and
associated site improvements. The proposed plan acknowledges the need for improvements to North
Jenkins Road, through the project entrance, and utility extension to the site. Landscape buffers are proposed
along the perimeter of the property, in conformance with the requirements. Outward plantings will be
enhanced on the north side of the project through the addition of an upland buffer and littoral plantings
with the sizable lake. The proposed rezone petition is coupled with a Preliminary Site Plan, with water and
wastewater services to be extended to serve the site. The PNRD design has the intentional placement of
stormwater areas between proposed buildings and residential parcels to the north.
The Planning & Zoning Commission considered the petition at their October 19, 2023, meeting, and voted
unanimously to recommend approval with conditions to the Board. Also, the applicant hosted a
neighborhood meeting. Staff recommended the Board approve the petition via Resolution 2023-218,
authorizing the Chair to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney, subject to the present
condition of approval in the staff report based upon consistency with the County's Comprehensive Plan.
Commissioner Dzadovsky commented on the water and sewer extensions. Staff advised Fort Pierce Utilities
(FPUA) would be the provider for the area.
Chair Townsend opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following people addressed the
Board.
• Brad Currie (agent)
With no one else wishing to address the Board, Chair Townsend closed the public hearing.
The Board did not have further questions or comments on this item.

12. REGULAR AGENDA
A. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES
1. Gamboa Residence Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.1.14.2 Wetland Waiver -
JUDICIAL
This public hearing was Quasi -Judicial, and the commissioners made the following disclosures regarding this
item:
Commissioner Jamie Fowler - Spoke with staff only.
Commissioner Linda Bartz - Spoke with staff only.
Commissioner Larry Leet- Spoke with staff and applicant.
Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky - Spoke with staff only.
Chair Cathy Townsend - Spoke with staff Donna Smalls.
Aimee Cooper, Environmental Regulations Manager, and JoAnn Riley, Properties Acquisition Manager,
presented this item to the Board as a Category I Wetland Waiver request on behalf of Crisanto Gamboa for
Lots 6&7. Located on the west side of Merry Bee Drive and directly abuts an oxbow of the North Fork of the
St. Lucie River. The subject parcel lots 6&7 were recorded on March 11, 1926. The County Comprehensive
Plan classifies wetlands into three categories based on their size, location, and hydrologic connectivity to
adjacent water bodies. Category I wetlands are those that are hydrologically connected to a natural surface
water body, are 20 acres or larger, or contain Strategic Habitat Conservation Areas. Impacts to a Category I
wetland or its buffer may only be approved by the Board following Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.1.14.3. The
subject parcel is zoned Residential Single-family (RS-3) at 3 units/acre with a future land use of residential
urban. The surrounding properties to the north, east, and south are also zoned RS-3 with a residential
urban future land use, and to the west is a conservation public property known as Idabelle Island. In 2004,
the subject parcel contained two jurisdictional wetlands as determined by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP). The 1,960 s.f. wetland on the northern portion of the parcel was filled
between the issuance of the 2004 FDEP permit and 2009, for the construction of a single-family residence.
In 2019, an updated FDEP jurisdictional determination was provided to the applicant for a proposed single-
family residence and identified a total of .10-acre jurisdictional wetlands on site, which is part of a larger
wetland system that continues offsite to the south. The Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE) supported the FDEP
determination and issued an After -The -Fact Permit in 2020. The remaining 0.34 acres of onsite habitat
consist of a mowed upland area, of which 0.17 acres make up the required wetland buffer and 0.10 acres
make up the required 50 ft. shoreline buffer along the North Fork.
The conceptual site plan consists of a single-family residential structure totaling 2,394 s.f., which results in
101Page
BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, November 14, 2023
9:00 AM
0.04 acres of direct fill impacts to the wetland, and the remaining development impacts are proposed
within the associated 50 ft. wetland buffer. Per Comprehensive Plan Policy 6.1.14.3, the Board may grant a
wetland waiver to impact a Category I wetland or its associated buffer when no other reasonable
alternative exists, and avoidance and minimization of impacts cannot otherwise be achieved. The staff
reviewed the subject waiver request and made the following determinations:
• The proposed project was previously approved on September 21, 2021. However, the waiver
expired after 12 months from the date of adoption.
• The proposed site use is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood.
• Staff requested reducing the size and/or configuration of the proposed residence, resulting in the
residential structure being shifted east, away from the shoreline.
• The strict criteria for granting a Category I wetland waiver detailed in the Comprehensive Plan Policy
6.1.14.3, require avoidance and minimization of impacts to the greatest extent feasible while still
allowing reasonable use of the property.
Following review of this application with the current proposed site plan and the strict criteria for avoidance
and minimization of direct impacts on a Category I wetland and/or its associated upland buffer. The staff
has determined this proposed site plan meets the avoidance and minimization criteria and therefore,
recommends approval to the Board. Staff recommended the Board adopt Resolution 2023-219, approving
the Category 1 Wetland Waiver for a single-family residence subject to the conditions outlined in the
resolution and allowing the Chair to sign documents approved by the County Attorney.ai County Attorney
Commissioner Dzadovsky commented on the additional adjustments made to the site proposal. Staff
advised there were no changes from the 2021 approval to the current approval. He expressed concerns
about the water and sewer systems, as well as the use of the well/septic system to direct flow into the
North Fork River. He also mentioned updated requirements for the anaerobic system. Chair Townsend
advised the upgraded anaerobic septic system will be a requirement by the Florida Statute as of 2024.
The Board did not have any further questions or comments on this item.
A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, and it passed unanimously.
