Florida Statutes provides that the Board may prescribe weight limits lower than those prescribed in Chapter 316, Florida Statutes, whenever, in its judgment. Any road or part thereof shall, because of design, deterioration, or other climatic or natural causes, be liable to be damaged or destroyed by motor vehicles if the gross weight thereof shall exceed the limits established by the Board. Indian River Drive is a Florida Scenic Highway, described as a narrow two-lane road that tracks north and south adjacent to the Indian River Lagoon, a nationally protected estuary. From Seaway Drive to the Martin County line, Indian River Drive is an approximately forty-two (42) mile road and the only access road for most residential properties.

St. Lucie County Road and Bridge have determined that due to its design and previous deterioration, it will be damaged by motor vehicles if the gross weight thereof exceeds six thousand (6,000) pounds. The City of Fort Pierce has reviewed the Ordinance and stated and has no objection to the changes and also recognizes the fact that no weight limit will exist on Indian Drive north of Citrus Avenue. The St. Lucie County Sheriff has reviewed the Ordinance and stated that the only recommendation is adding a qualifier that vehicles delivering on South Indian River Drive must be delivered to an address in St. Lucie County.

Notices were mailed to adjacent property owners within 500 feet of the subject property, and a sign was posted on the project site. The proposal encompasses a recreational vehicle resort with one hundred & forty-six (146) platted lots and a 2.64-acre future commercial outparcel fronting on Kings Highway. The preliminary plan identifies lot configuration, vehicular use areas, stormwater retention, landscaping, administration & maintenance buildings, clubhouse with associated parking, utility connections, amenities, pool, lazy river, and "Flow Rider" wave pool walking trails, and primary site access on Kings Highway. A northbound right -in turn lane will be provided for the Kings Highway access, while access on Indrio Road is intended for pedestrian and emergency access only. All lots will be equipped with water, wastewater, and electrical connections through St. Lucie County Utilities. No guest shall occupy the recreational vehicle park for over one hundred and eighty (180) days in any calendar year, as evidenced by the length of stay 15 1 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 5, 2022 6:00 PM shown in the guest register. Some lots will be individually owned, but the restriction of one hundred and eighty (180) days in any calendar year will still apply, and the site will go into a rental pool when not occupied by the owner. No recreational vehicle lot(s) shall be eligible for a homestead exemption, and no permanent additions or expansions to the recreational vehicles and/or park models shall be permitted. Additionally, internal vehicular use areas and pedestrian pathways provide adequate connections to existing infrastructure and meet the provisions for access to new developments. The applicant intends to permit accessory structures and/or uses within the individual RV lots. These uses may include but are not limited to tiki huts, pergolas, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and storage lockers. These uses will be reviewed at the time of the Final Site Plan. They shall identify where these accessory uses/structures are permitted while maintaining the minimum required front, side, and rear yard setbacks for the RV lots. Some of the permitted uses are to include, but are not limited to, advertising, retail trades, social services, travel agencies, cleaning services, business/computer or veterinary services, merchandise stores, furniture stores, private educational services, and construction services limited to office uses only. Conditional uses may include, but are not limited to, Liquor Stores, Child Day Care, Amusement Parks, Pest Control Services, Self -Service Car Washes, Fee -Standing Drinking Places, Sporting and Recreational Camps, Household Storage & Warehouses. The 25.13-acre project site is situated on the south side of Indrio Road and the east side of Kings Highway in Fort Pierce within the County's Airport and Towns, Villages & Countryside (TVC) Overlay Districts. The site is located within the Urban Service Boundary (USB) and Airport Overlay Zone. The Commercial General and Planned Retail/Workplace Zoning Districts are compatible with the TVC Future Land Use designation, as per the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Consistency Matrix. Although these policies specify new non-residential uses are allowable due to the pre-existing Future Land Use Element, the TVC Comprehensive Element does not explicitly address retail or workplace zoning on the parcel. No development within the future commercial outparcel is proposed at this time and will require a separate site plan review in the future. On June 16, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and voted (7-1) to forward a recommendation of approval to the Board with the following recommended conditions of approval for the Board to consider: The site plan shall provide additional landscape along the east property boundary to provide additional buffering from the adjacent properties. 2. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), County staff, and the applicant shall work together to determine if the proposed Kings Highway (SR 713) site access and right-of-way improvements can be reconfigured to restrict southbound to northbound U-turn movements and allow vehicles to make a southbound left turn directly into the project. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), County staff, and the applicant shall work together to determine if a second, unrestricted access to Indrio Road (SR 614) can be provided/approved. Staff recommended the Board approve the proposed Planned Retail/Workplace (PRW) Rezoning and Preliminary Regulating Plan for the project known as the Cabo Rio Recreational Vehicle (RV) Resort, subject to the conditions outlined within Resolution 2022-117. 16 1 P a g BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 5, 2022 6:00 PM Chair Mitchell opened the hearing for public comment at this time.

Petition by Meritage Homes of Florida LLC. Requesting to modify the Reserve Development Order Development Schedule Thresholds to Add One -hundred and One (101) Dwelling Units to the 2,900 Residential Dwelling Unit Maximum, Extending the Total Allowance to 3,001 Jodi Nentwick-Kugler, Planning & Development Services Senior Planner, and Kori Benton, Planning & Development Services Planning Manager, presented this item to the Board. Cotleur and Hearing, Inc., on behalf of the Meritage Homes of Florida, Inc., submitted a petition to modify the Post Development Order. The Reserve Development Order uses thresholds to add one -hundred and one (101) dwelling units. In accordance with public notice requirements outlined in the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, an advertisement for the public hearing was placed in the St. Lucie Tribune on Friday, June 24, 2022, and notices were mailed to adjacent property owners located within 500 feet of the subject properties, and two (2) signs were placed on the subject property. The Reserve is an approved 19 1 P a g BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 5, 2022 6:00 PM Development of Regional Impact (DRI) located west of Interstate 95 and southeast of Glades Cutoff Road, and north of Crosstown Parkway within the jurisdiction of both St. Lucie County and the City of Port St. Lucie. The Development of Regional Impact (DRI) portion within the County includes golf courses, residential, office, and commercial uses. The industrial industry is located within the City's jurisdiction. The approved development included 500,000 square feet of industrial space; 2,900 residential dwelling units; 150,000 square feet of retail/commercial; 174,105 square feet of office space; and 310 hotel rooms. The original Reserve Development Regional Impact (DRI) proposed 4,100 dwelling units. The Development Order for The Reserve Development of Regional Impact (DRI) will sunset on January 27, 2023. The Planning & Development Services Department is currently processing an extension of the expiration date under Section 252.363, F.S., and a declaration of a state of emergency issued by the Governor. The applicant submitted concurrent petitions to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map to change the Residential, Suburban, and Commercial Future Land Use categories for +/-31.78 acres. They are generally described as the southern segment of the Former PGA Learning Center Site to the Residential, Urban category. Additionally, the applicant is requesting a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Rezoning and Preliminary Site Plan to develop a ninety-nine (99) lot single-family subdivision known as the Azalea PUD for the referenced +/-31.78-acres. This amendment proposes to modify the development program in the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) order to convert 64,264 square feet of general commercial/retail use; and replace it with 101 additional residential units and 103,005 square feet of remaining office use. The 500,000 square feet of industrial is not proposed to change. The amendment also proposes to change language in Condition No. 51 of the development order regarding the conversions to place among the different uses in a manner that would not increase traffic trips. The amendment will allow the County and City staff to utilize a matrix x through a PUD zoning if there is mutual agreement. Discussions must be documented in the biennial report, and the matrix table is proposed to be expanded to include minimums and maximums for each use. The proposed changes to the development program include adding residential units and office space footage within the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) portion in St. Lucie County. The additional office square footage will incorporate the previous construction of St. Lucie County School Board District offices on Brandywine Lane. The 500,000 square feet of industrial entitlements within the City's jurisdiction are not proposed to change.

Petition by Meritage Homes of Florida, Inc. to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map from RS (Residential, Suburban) and COM (Commercial) to RU (Residential, Urban) for a +/-31.78-acre Parcel of Land Located at 8563 S. Commerce Centre Drive, Port St. Lucie, FL 34958 Item presented in conjunction with 9.13.8 Jodi Nentwick-Kugler, Planning & Development Services Senior Planner, presented this item to the Board. Cotleur and hearing submitted petitions for a future land use map amendment on behalf of Meritage Homes of Florida Inc. To change the future land use category from Residential, Suburban-2 du/ac, and Commercial to Residential, Urban-5 du/ac, and Rezone from Commercial, General, and Planned Non - Residential Development to Planned Unit Development, for a project to be known as the Azalea Planned Unit Development (PUD) within the Reserve Development of Regional Impact (DRI). The applicant is pursuing a rezone from the current Zoning District to the Planned Unit Development Zoning District, compatible with the surrounding area and located within the Urban Service Boundary (USB). In accordance with the public notice requirements of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, an advertisement for the public hearing was placed in the St. Lucie Tribune on Friday, June 24, 2022, and notices were mailed to adjacent property owners located within 500 feet of the subject properties, and two (2) signs were placed on the subject property. No responses have been received to date. The Preliminary PUD Site Plan encompasses ninety-nine (99) single-family lots, for an overall density of 3.11 du/per acre, a 3.4-acre stormwater lake, open space, landscape buffering, pedestrian sidewalks, mail center, and associated site improvements. The applicant submitted a concurrent post -development order amendment to modify the approved use thresholds to add one -hundred and one (101) units to the 2,900 residential unit cap, extending the allowance to 3,001. The original Development of Regional Impact (DRI) proposed 4,100 dwelling units. The applicant justified that the proposed plan would increase the surrounding land value and homeownership opportunities and is compatible with the surrounding uses, as they are predominantly single-family residences located in a Planned Unit Development. This amendment will not create a conflict with the surrounding zoning districts. The subject site is located within the PGA Reserve, west of Commerce Centre Drive, south of the Baron Office Complex, also known as the former PGA Learning Center, and north of PGA Verano. The proposed change in zoning should not affect the sufficient service capacity of transportation facilities, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, or emergency medical facilities. Also, since it is so close to St. Lucie West Boulevard and 1-95 corridor, residents would quickly reach their destinations without causing significant traffic impacts on the surrounding areas with the 4-lane expansion of St. Lucie West Boulevard from the roundabout to 1-95. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is undergoing improvements to the Interstate 95 (195) overpass bridge, which commenced in the Fall of 2021, with an expected completion date by the summer of 2023. These improvements are expected to cost around $18.3 million, with funds contributed by Kolter, Verano, and grants procured by the FDOT/TPO. The proposed project also meets the required thirty-five (35%) percent of open space, the Azalea PUD project, which will provide a 3.4-acre stormwater management lake in the center of the development. The lake will also have a 24,627-square-foot littoral zone with native vegetation, serving as a natural habitat for small native wildlife and an upland transition zone to buffer the littoral zone from adjacent residences. 21 1 P a g BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 5, 2022 6:00 PM On May 19, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval to the Board for the petition with the conditions outlined in Ordinance 2022-20 and Resolution 2022- 123.

The applicant, Dan Sorrow, Cotleur & Hearing, on behalf of Meritage Homes of Florida Inc, is requesting a Future Land Use Map Amendment and Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) Rezone & Site Plan. The proposal seeks approval for a future land use map amendment to change the land use category from Residential, Suburban-2 du/ac, and Commercial to Residential, Urban-5 du/a,c. To Rezone from Commercial, General, and Planned Non -Residential Development (PRND) to Planned Unit Development (PUD), to be known as the Azalea Planned Unit Development, within the Reserve Development of Regional Impact (DRI). The subject property lies within the Urban Service Boundary (USB). In accordance with the public notice requirements of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, an advertisement for the public hearing was placed in the St. Lucie Tribune on Friday, June 24, 2022, and notices were mailed to adjacent property owners located within 500 feet of the subject properties, and two (2) signs were placed on the subject property. No responses have been received to date. The Preliminary PUD Site Plan encompasses ninety-nine (99) single-family lots, for an overall density of 3.11 du/per acre, a 3.4-acre stormwater lake, open space, landscape buffering, pedestrian sidewalks, mail center, and associated site improvements. The applicant submitted a concurrent Post Development Order Amendment to modify the approved use thresholds to add one -hundred and one (101) units to the 2,900 residential unit cap, extending the allowance to 3,001. The original DRI proposed 4,100 dwelling units. The subject parcel is situated along the west side of Commerce Centre Drive, privately owned and maintained by the Reserve POA, along the project boundary. The subject site is located within the PGA Reserve, west of Commerce Centre Drive, south of the Baron Office Complex, also known as the former PGA Learning Center, and north of PGA Verano. The changed conditions include the closure of the PGA Learning Center, reuse of the Pro -shop, Museum, and Instructional Facility to commercial offices, including a real estate office, Child Advocacy Center, Baron Academy Specialty educational academy, and a proposed daycare center. Industrial build -out and employment growth to the north, build -out of Verano to the south, and continued development in Tradition are occurring. There is improved transportation capacity with the 1-95 overpass expansion project to support the additional infill residential development. A minimum of thirty-five percent (35%) of the gross area of land in a PUD must be for use as a shared open space. These may include parks, recreation areas, bicycle, and pedestrian paths and facilities, marinas, swimming beaches, shared open spaces, landscaping and planting areas, stormwater retention areas, or other areas of public purpose or use. Shared open space may not include streets, roads, drainage rights of way, above -ground utilities, or parking areas. A significant portion of the Reserve DRI recreational area comprises the golf course. Azalea would provide a dense cluster of single-family homes to provide more housing for relatively sprawling development. Also, since it is so close to the St. Lucie West Boulevard and 1-95 corridor, residents would quickly reach their designation without causing significant traffic impacts on the surrounding areas, especially with the 4-lane expansion of St. Lucie West Boulevard, from the roundabout to 1-95. The proposed change in zoning should not affect the sufficient service capacity of transportation facilities, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, or emergency medical facilities. The Azalea PUD project will provide a 3.4-acre stormwater management lake at the center of the development. This lake is designed to ensure proper drainage and runoff flows on the site to prevent flooding and any other potential issues that could arise with a change in the drainage pattern. The lake will 231Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 5, 2022 6:00 PM also have a 24,627-square-foot littoral zone with native vegetation, serving as a natural habitat for small native wildlife and an upland transition zone to buffer the littoral zone from adjacent residences. This development will also remain unaffected by the existing lake on the west and south portions of the site not included within the project boundaries. The PUD Preliminary Site Plan required a twenty-five (25) foot landscape buffer along the western portion that bounds along the 1-95 corridor, and a ten (10) foot landscape buffer abutting the commercial property, Baron Office Complex, also known as the former PGA Learning Center to the north along with the secondary access on Commerce Centre Drive. Fire Station #14, located at 300 NW California Boulevard, approximately two (2) miles northeast of the subject site, will create additional demand but not adverse impacts or exceptional demands. On May 19, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to forward a recommendation for both petitions to the Board of County Commissioners. The proposed PUD Rezone & Preliminary Site Plan conforms to the Standards of Review outlined in St. Lucie County Land Development Code Sections 11.06.03 & 11.02.07. It is consistent with the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive. Staff recommended the Board approve the Azalea Planned Unit Development rezone and preliminary site plan, subject to the following outlined in Resolution 2022-123. Chair Mitchell opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following people addressed the Board. • Dan Sorrow (Agent) • George Saylor • James Davis • Betty Modell With no one else wishing to address the Board, Chair Mitchell closed the public hearing. Questions: 1. Will any restrictions on the new development of Meritage Homes Azalea/Meritage PGA Reserves prevent the residents from using the privately -owned Island Point Properties lake between the two developments? Mr. Sorrow advised that a buffer will be placed between the properties and no fishing, trespassing, and water activities within 100 feet of the surrounding lake signs can be posted to advise Meritage Homes Azalea/Meritage PGA Reserves residents. They cannot use the lake for any purpose, and the phrasing will be included in the HOA agreement documents to further restrict the residents from utilizing the lake. 2. Why are the residents of PGA required to take care of the County road median border vegetation between 1-95 of both developments? Commissioner Dzadovsky advised that the mentioned area was not negotiated in the current applicant's agreement. The mentioned area was negotiated in 1998 under previous Commissioners within the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) agreement by PGA to maintain the maintenance. 3. Will the new development include the median border within their agreement? Mr. Sorrow advised that to the Board's requirement, they are willing to contribute their share of the $52.00 a month assessment like the other residents within the community that will handle everything, including the median, landscaping, and sidewalks. But if they are required to do so, they would like to limit it to the median along Commerce 241Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 5, 2022 6:00 PM Centre Drive and the side of the median berm directly next to their community. Upon discussion with the Board regarding general questions and comments of PGA residents maintaining County and City roadways, a motion was made and confirmed by County Attorney Dan McIntyre for additional conditions providing the developer the option to either: 1. To include an additional $52.00 a month assessment fee to the Meritage Homes Azalea/Meritage PGA Reserves residents within the HOA agreement per lot; or 2. To physically improve and maintain the berm, irrigation, pressure washing, sidewalks, and median. A motion was made to approve the staff recommendation with the additional condition, and it passed undinnivuaiv.

County Initiated Land Development Code Text Amendment for Solar Generation Stations Benjamin Balcer, Planning & Development Services Assistant Director, presented this item to the Board. A County initiated a text amendment to the Land Development Code to comply with Florida Statue 163.3205 by amending regulations. To site solar generation facilities to be listed as a permanent use in all Agricultural Zoning Districts in uncorrelated areas and promote clean energy operations within the Agricultural Zoning Districts through various code amendments. An advertisement was displayed on Thursday, June 23, 2022, in the local newspaper specifying the Board public hearing on this item. The proposal seeks to exempt new solar generation facilities located within Agricultural Zoning Districts from the need to provide paved access, eliminate specific landscaping requirements, and allow solar generation stations to proceed through the Minor Site Plan process. To develop criteria for solar generation facilities requiring a Minor Site Plan submission. Additionally, the amendment eliminates ground -mounted solar panels from maximum lot coverage calculations. It changes the distance that roof -mounted solar panels must be from the roof's edge to comply with the 2020 Florida Building Code (FBC). The drafted ordinance changes within the Land Development Code: • Expand the "Solar Generation Station" definition to conform with industry standards and be consistent with Section 163.3205, F.S. Remove the requirement for a Conditional Use Permit to site Solar Generation Facilities within Agricultural Zoning Districts and allow the use as a permitted use per Section 163.3205, F.S. 251Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 5, 2022 6:00 PM • Remove the requirement for a Conditional Use Permit to site a Solar Generation Facilities within the Research and Education Park Overlay Zone and allow their placement as a permitted use. Add public and quasi -public support services for fire protection as a permitted use. • Allow Solar Generation Facilities within Agricultural Zoning Districts (AG-1, AG-2.5, and AG-5) to proceed through the Minor Site Plan process. Maintain the Major Site Plan process for Solar Facilities not located within AG Zoning Districts. Also, it eliminates ground -mounted solar energy capture devices (panels) from maximum lot coverage calculations. • Establishes criteria for Solar Generation Stations processed through a Minor Site Plan, including landscape buffering adjacent to established residential uses and eliminating paving requirements for access to new Solar Generation Stations within Agricultural Zoning Districts when facilities utilized unpaved public or private roads for access. • Updates regulations to be consistent with the 2020 Florida Building Code that increased the distance rooftop solar panels are required to be from the edge of the roof, from two (2) feet to three (3) feet. The amendment will streamline the regulatory process for the development of solar facilities. Additionally, the proposed amendments will make the Land Development Code consistent with state law, allowing solar generation facilities as a permitted use within all Agricultural Zoning Districts within the County and revising language in accordance with the 2020 Florida Building Code, increasing the distance rooftop solar panels are required to be from the edge of the roof from two (2) feet to three (3) feet. Staff finds these amendments tc meet the standards of review outlined in Section 11.06.03 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. The Planning & Zoning Commission, at their June 16, 2022 meeting, voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed Ordinance. Staff recommended the Board review the proposed Text Amendment to the Land Development Code, as presented in the proposed Ordinance and schedule the item for the second reading (Public Hearing).

The amendments are proposed to satisfy National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) provisions, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) policy, and Community Rating System (CRS) prerequisites to: • Reduce future flood damage • Maintain the County's Community Rating System (CRS) score and associated federal flood insurance premium discounts for policyholders • Comply with FEMA policy and State guidance • Improve community resilience • Enhance public health, safety, and welfare In 2020, FEMA announced new prerequisites for Community Rating System communities to attain or retain a Class 8 or better. This will include modifying local floodplain management regulations to require manufactured/mobile homes to be elevated to base flood elevation plus one (1) foot or higher. Community Rating System communities that do not satisfy the Class 8 prerequisites will revert to a Community Rating System Class 9, resulting in a 5% discount on an average of $12.00 savings on National Flood Insurance Program flood insurance premiums. St. Lucie County has been a CRS Class 6 since 2009, providing a 20% discount on an average savings of $45.00 per policy on National Flood Insurance Program flood insurance policies issued within the Special Flood Hazard Area of the County. As of April 1, 2022, as policies are renewed and/or new policies are issued, all National Flood Insurance Program flood insurance policy holders will receive the Community Rating System discount, not just the policies within the particular flood hazard area. The County is on a 3 -year cycle, and the following Community Rating System review is in the fall of 2022; to maintain its current Class 6 rating, the Land Development Code must be amended. If the County does not change the code to comply with the standards of review, County policyholders will lose $1.1 million in savings. Approximately 8,900 National Flood Insurance Program insurance policies are issued within the County, with 5,768 within the Special Flood Hazard Area. It is important to note that the amended elevation requirements do not automatically require additional elevation of existing manufactured/mobile homes. The manufactured/mobile home would be required to elevate above the current requirements upon the replacement or placement of new units or the substantial improvement/damage of the units. The amendment is limited to manufactured/mobile homes in flood hazard areas with a persistent base flood elevation. It is intended to reduce the repeated impacts of flooding and enhance public health, safety, and welfare. The current units would not need to be elevated until they are replaced or substantially damaged or improved, and the proposed change would apply at the time of replacement. The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendment on June 16, 2022, and unanimously recommended the Board's approval. Staff finds this petition to meet the standards of review as outlined in Section 11.06.03 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code and is not in conflict with the 271Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 5, 2022 6:00 PM goals, objectives, and policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. Staff is proposing amendments to reduce future risk and damage and save policyholders within the County by maintaining the current CRS score and maintaining the 20% discount to enhance public health, safety, and welfare. Staff recommended the Board review the proposed Text Amendment to the Land Development Code, as presented in proposed Ordinance 2022-18 and schedule the item for the second reading (public hearing) on July 19. 2022 at 9:00 AM or soon thereafter.

Board Approval of Resolution 22-124 for the Creation of the Homeless Advisory Committee Item presented in conjunction with 10.A.1. Alphonso Jefferson, Deputy County Administrator, presented this item to the Board. On June 2, 2020, the Board adopted the core elements of the FY 2021— 2023 Strategic Plan framework. Goal 4.4 of the Strategic 30 1 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 5, 2022 6:00 PM Plan is to develop and implement a comprehensive housing program to meet the community's needs. Goal 5.3 is to address needs and provide options for our most vulnerable populations. In order to implement a systemic response with actionable strategies to prevent, reduce and end chronic individual homelessness — specifically to develop a path forward to achieve a functional end to individual homelessness throughout St. Lucie County, there is a public need for One St. Lucie Community Homelessness Task Force to explore and evaluate the issues and needs in St. Lucie County relative to homelessness and provided recommendations on ways to address the issue of homelessness in St. Lucie County. The 2021 Point -In -Time (PIT) homelessness count indicated that 287 individuals, including 246-Adults and 41-Children, were identified as homeless, with 97% of individuals being considered unsheltered. In addition, twenty-one (21) veterans were identified with an additional 663 households sharing housing or couch surfing and were not counted in these totals. Although the 2021 numbers represent a significant decrease compared to the totals in 2020, the community needs to develop actionable strategies to address homelessness as we continue to grow.

On March 15, 2022, the Board approved a Contract for the Sale and Purchase of County property with a proposed purchase price of $1,500,000.00. The contract provided a feasibility determination period for STB Runways End, LLC to inspect 31 1 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 5, 2022 6:00 PM the premises, including the roof and electrical service. During the feasibility determination period, STB Runways End, LLC, engaged Andersen Andre Consulting Engineers, Inc. to perform a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. There was a recommendation for a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment consisting of two temporary groundwater sampling wells and testing. STB Runways End, LLC, also engaged Whiting Construction, Inc. to visually inspect the roof and the electrical service. The estimated costs of the repairs to the roof, roof decking, and electrical services exceed $700,000.00. County staff received an email from STB Runways End, LLC on June 24, 2022, with a counter-offer for $1,250,000.00 given the repair costs of $700,000.00. The County's contract appraiser valued the property at $1,500,000.00 but was unaware of the roof's condition, roof decking, and electrical service, which would have affected his opinion of value. On May 17, 2022, the Board approved the First Addendum to the Contract for Sale and Purchase. Staff recommended the Board approve the second addendum to the contract, authorize the Chair to sign the addendum, direct staff to proceed with the closing, and record the deed in the public records of St. Lucie County, Florida.

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 1. Traffic Impact Study Waiver Request for DLF (AKA DLP) Citrus Expansion Kori Benton, Planning & Development Services, Planning Manager, presented this item to the Board. DLF Packing, LLC, has active petitions proposing a Major Adjustment to the existing Conditional Use and Site Plan to expand the existing 52,000 sq. ft. citrus packing facility, formerly known as Sun Brite Citrus. For the accommodation of new freezers, relocation of the loading docks, and expansion of the internal support areas. The 19.34-acre property is located at the northeast corner of Orange Avenue and Graves Road, within the Agricultural-5 Zoning District and Agricultural-5 Future Land Use outside the Urban Services Boundary (USB) and is currently served via on -site well and septic systems. In accordance with the Land Development Code, the project scope shall provide a transportation impact study as the cumulative development proposal. The expanded Warehousing Facility, up to 90,000 sq. ft., is projected to generate 157 average daily trips, and the proposed development will not significantly impact the immediate roadway network.

The direct access to the facility will be at Graves Road & Orange Avenue (SR 68). The Development Review Committee recommended acceptance of the Traffic Impact Study Waiver. 32 1 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 5, 2022 6:00 PM Staff recommended approval of the requested Transportation Impact Study Waiver for the proposed project scope.
