This amendment aims to eliminate the Class A Mobile Home Permit process, eliminate the references to Class A Mobile Homes throughout the Code, and ensure consistent review procedures in the Land Development Code for single-family detached dwelling units and mobile homes. The County's Land Development Code must stay consistent with Florida Statute provisions stipulated as: • That local requirements and regulations for manufactured homes be reasonable, uniformly applied, and enforced without distinctions as to whether such housing is manufactured, located in a mobile home park or a mobile home subdivision. or built conventionally. as is reauired by Sections 320.8285(6), and 553.38, Florida Statutes. • The code reflects the recent change to Section 163.3202, Florida Statutes, which prohibits the armlication of land develoament regulations relating to building design elements on single-familv or two-family dwellings, including the exterior building color, the type or style of exterior cladding material, the style or material of roof structures or porches, the exterior nonstructural architectural ornamentation, the location or architectural styling of windows or doors, the location or orientation of the garage, the number and type of rooms, and the interior layout of rooms. The new statute became effective on July 1, 2021, limits the County's ability to regulate the roof pitch, roofing materials, and exterior finish of a single-family dwelling unit, except for in limited circumstances, such as for designated historic structures or within the Community Redevelopment Area or for a dwelling located in a Planned Unit Development. With the statutory change, if a local government can no longer regulate building design elements of a single-family dwelling unit, then arguably, the local government can 16 1 P a g BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, September 20, 2022 9:00 AM no longer regulate those same building design elements of a mobile home, mainly when using those elements to define a mobile home as a single-family detached dwelling. To continue to do so would amount to a statutorily prohibited disparate treatment of mobile homes based solely on the home type manufactured vs. conventionally built homes. The amendment explicitly deletes the term 'Class A Mobile Home' and incorporates the terms' mobile home' and 'manufactured home' into the definition of the detached single-family dwelling. The Florida Attorney General has issued several opinions stating that land use and zoning requirements must not discriminate against manufactured housing. Local governments cannot exclude manufactured housing from a zoning classification that allows conventionally constructed housing. These opinions further state that local requirements and regulations relating to the erection and use of residential buildings or structures must be uniformly applied and enforced so as not to discriminate against or exclude factory - built housing from the local community and must be without distinction as to whether residential housing is factory -built or built in a conventional manner. The proposed ordinance's amendments will provide consistency with Florida Statutes and establish the exact requirements for conventionally built homes and manufactured/mobile homes, as is required by Sections 320.8285(6), 553.38, and 163.3202, Florida Statutes. Staff finds the 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 goals, objectives, and policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommended the Board approve the proposed text amendment to the land development code, as presented in proposed Ordinance 2022-27. Chair Mitchell opened the hearing for public comment at this time. With no one wishing to address the Board, Chair Mitchell closed the public Hearing. A motion was mace to approve starr recommencations, anc it passes unanimously.

PUBLIC WORKS 1. Culvert 2022-04 Municipal Services Benefit Unit - Assessment Resolution Barbara Guettler, MSBU Coordinator, presented this item to the Board. In February 2021, the Board established a voluntary program allowing eligible property owners to apply for and receive funding to improve or repair culverts and repay this funding through the imposition of a non -ad valorem special assessment against the improved property collected in annual installments on the tax roll. As amended, the proposed Resolution No. 2022-158 is the Assessment Resolution required by County's Ordinance 21- 004. 17 1 P a g BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, September 20, 2022 9:00 AM The purpose of the resolution relates to the imposition and collection of special assessments to fund stormwater culvert improvements within the MSBU, to determine that real property therein will be specially benefitted, establish the method of assessing the cost of the improvements, and approve the assessment roll. Staff recommended Board approval of Resolution No. 2022-158, the Culvert 2022-04 MSBU Final Assessment Resolution, and authorization for the Chair to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney.

REGULAR AGENDA A. ADMINISTRATION 1.One-Time, Non -Recurring Funding Request for 211 Palm Beach/ Treasure Coast Howard Tipton, the County Administrator, presented this item to the Board. County staff recommends assisting the organization with one-time, non -recurring funding for $30,000 to 211 Palm Beach / Treasure Coast, which will continue services within St. Lucie County. 211 Palm Beach/ Treasure Coast operates a free and confidential community helpline and crisis hotline providing individuals in a crisis with 24/7 connection to information, resources, and emotional support, including crisis intervention and saving lives through suicide prevention services. By accessing the 211 HelpLine, residents of St. Lucie County can receive immediate support in de-escalating a mental health crisis and care and empathetic support for various life's challenges, from worries about a child's development to difficulty making ends meet. 211 staff are trained to listen, assess, and provide connections to appropriate health and human services programs and support that empowers them to seek resolutions for their unique crises. The 211 staff has referred over 18,000 St. Lucie County residents to service providers in our area from January through December 2021. Also, over 10,000 contacts have been made with 211, and over 30,000 residents have utilized 211 services. 18 1 P a g BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, September 20, 2022 9:00 AM This program aims to ensure that all residents of St. Lucie County have access to 24/7 support when they encounter a crisis. Objectives include connecting people to community services and de-escalating mental health crises. In June 2020, the Board approved the implementation of a County non-profit grant program to assist agencies in our community and deliver vital services. The grant funds are in addition to funding opportunities available through the United Way of St. Lucie and Okeechobee. Other resources typically receive funding from Children's Services Council, the County's non-profit grant program, and the United Way annual campaign. While implementing the County's program, agencies were confused about applying for funding from the United Way's annual campaign and the County's non-profit program. The process to address the confusion was changed for the 2022 cycle. However, it impacted agencies from receiving funds. In 2021, 211 only received $48,000 in funding from United Way's campaign but no dollars from the County's program. Since no funding was provided from the County and changes occurred, 211 has been notified recently of not receiving the United Way campaign funds in 2022. Based on the information provided by 211, there is a potential funding gap of $30,000 from July through December of 2022 and no funding coming from the annual United Way campaign. Their full -year allocation request is $60,000, and 211 would like to continue to provide these vital services to St. Lucie County. 211 is finding other funding partners for resources to address the funding gap without service interruptions and will be applying for funding through the County's non-profit program for consideration starting in January of 2023. To support this effort, the County staff recommends assisting the 211 Palm Beach / Treasure Coast with one- time, non -recurring funding for $30,000.00. Staff recommended Board approval on allocating one-time, non -recurring funding to 211 Palm Beach/Treasure Coast in the amount of $30,000.00; and authorization for the Chair to sign the funding agreement with 211 Palm Beach/Treasure Coast; subject to legal form and correctness by the County Attorney. Commissioner Bartz commented and advised, as previously discussed, she is not in support of the item. The funding was not denied by the County but was denied by United Way, and the residents provide funding to United Way and trust that they will disburse the proceeds accordingly. If changes are made, they are to be made by United Way, and their process should not be overridden. Commissioner Dzadovsky commented on the United Way funding mechanism and the County's grant, the non- profit grant funding process. He advised he would only be in support if the grant recipient responded with the exact provisions in the vetting process and application process implementation, referencing the reporting and financials of the agency. Nicole Fogarty, Legislative Affairs Division Director, commented and advised last year, United Way decided to fund 211 requests under their campaign fully and then brought a recommendation of zero to the Board. The Board approved it, understanding that 211 was fully funded under United Way Campaign. This year the County changed the process to provide a difference between United Way and the County's non-profit grant cycle that will be due September 30, 2022. The Board will receive recommendations by November 1, 2022, for formal approval in December for money to be allocated in January. Sharon L'Herrou, President/CEO of 211, commented and advised the Board. 211 provides what is requested within the application process of United Way. She advised that 211 can provide quarterly and biannual reports to the County in addition to United Way as preferred. 19 1 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, September 20, 2022 9:00 AM A motion was made to approve staff recommendation, and upon roll call, it passed (4)-(1).

COUNTY ATTORNEY Amendment to June 1, 2021, Road Impact Fee Credit Agreement - Midway Glades Developers, LLC - LTC Ranch DRI Dan McIntyre, County Attorney, presented this item to the Board. The LTC Ranch Development of Regional Impact encompassed 2,455+ acres and was approved by St. Lucie County under Resolution No. 97-085. The portion of the LTC Ranch DRI lying east of 1-95 and encompassing 388 acres was annexed into the City of Port St. Lucie under that specific Annexation Agreement executed on February 24, 2000, between LTC Joint Venture and the City and under City Ordinance No. 00-014. On November 4, 2002, in the interlocal agreement, the LTC Ranch paid a $2 million contribution and forwarded it by the City to the County. Considering this payment, the entire LTC Ranch DRI was vested for transportation concurrency for that section of West Midway Road between 1-95 and US1, except for any proportional improvement that may be required to the northbound on/off ramps with 1-95, including signalization at West Midway Road. Midway Glades Developers, LLC (MGD) is a successor owner in interest to LTC Joint Venture and owns 1,982+ acres designated for residential use within the LTC Ranch DRI west of 1-95. In 2021 Midway Glades Developers, LLC filed both an application under Section 24-264 of the St. Lucie County Code of Ordinances and a proposed Road Impact Fee Credit Agreement to request Road Impact Fee Credits for various activities, including but not limited to design right-of-way dedication and construction of the following road improvements: • Dedicate Right of Way and widen Midway Road from a two-lane rural road to a four -lane divided urban road from Arterial -A to 1-95. • Widen Glades Cut -Off Road from a two-lane rural road to a four -lane divided urban road from Arterial -A to 1-95. • Dedicate Right of Way and Construct a four -lane divided roadway from Glades Cut -Off Road to Midway Road. The credits for Artierial-A were split 50/50 between the County and the City, and the previously granted credits were just 80% of 50%. Due to legislative changes, 100% of the 50% is requested. The agreement established road impact fee credits St. Lucie County would grant to Midway Glades Developers, LLC for various creditable activities, including for the design, permitting, right-of-way dedication, and construction of Arterial -A from Glades Cut -Off Road to Midway Road, which would occur in three defined segments initially constructed with two lanes and then subsequently widened to four lanes. As a result, the Developer believes that the 80% credit provided by the Agreement for Arterial "A" warrants adjustment to provide a dollar -for - dollar credit (i.e., 100% credit) under s. 163.3180(5), Florida Statutes. 20 1 P a g BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, September 20, 2022 9:00 AM Mr. McIntyre requested for the applicant's attorney Lee Dobbins to confirm that the County has only agreed to pay 50% of the cost of the Arterial -A Road credits. The other 50% would be with the City of Port St. Lucie and their proposal request to go from a previously approved 80% to 100%. Lee Dobbins, Attorney of the applicant, commented and confirmed that the agreement currently is for 80% of the cost of Arterial -A Road, 50% to be paid by the City of Port St. Lucie, and 50% by the County, with credits from each. Now they are requesting it to be increased to 100% because of the change in the State Statutes, but it remains 50%. The City of Port St. Lucie has impact or mobility fee credits, and the City has 50% of the County impact fee credits. Mr. McIntyre requested for the applicant's attorney, Lee Dobbins, to confirm that the County has no involvement in the 50% between the Developer in the City of Port St. Lucie. To confirm, whatever the outcome, there will be no comeback to the County for the City's 50% year. Lee Dobbins, the applicant's attorney, commented and confirmed that it is correct. They will be seeking the 50% from the City of Port St. Lucie and would not be seeking to collect that from the County. For the reasons stated, the County Attorney recommended that the Board approve the Amendment to the June 1, 2021, Road Impact Fee Credit Agreement with MGD and authorize the Chair to sign the agreement. A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, and it passed unanimously.

County -owned property located at 2500 Gray Twig Lane - Parcel ID 3405-801-0001-000-8 JoAnn Riley, Property Acquisition Manager, presented this item to the Board. Section 125.38, Florida Statutes, authorizes a County to convey property to a municipality by adopting a Resolution. On May 20, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Highway Maintenance Memorandum of Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and Resolution No. 14-077 for right-of-way acquisition for CR-712/Midway Road west of South 25th Street to the east of US 1. The agreement states the County agrees to accept the transfer of the right-of-way acquired by the FDOT. On June 29, 2015, the according to the Property Appraiser, FDOT acquired the 0.29 acres from Thomas and Katherine Kane. On June 14, 2022, the County Administrator received a letter from the Director of the Utility Systems Department at the City of Port St. Lucie expressing their interest in acquiring the property. The City suggests that the acquisition of this property would serve a governmental purpose as the Utility Systems Department intends to design and build a sanitary sewer lift station to serve the surrounding neighbors. Additionally, the City suggests that the acquisition of this property would further the goal of preserving water quality on the 21 1 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, September 20, 2022 9:00 AM North Fork of the St. Lucie River by connecting new construction and septic systems to the City sewer. On August 9, 2022, the Florida Department of Transportation recorded the Right -of -Way Map for Midway Road in Plat Book 108, Pages 1-17, transferring ownership of the property and six (6) pond sites. The Property Appraiser's current Property Record Card states the assessed value of the parcel is $44,947.00, and the just/market value is $98,900.00. County staff has reviewed the location of this parcel and has determined the County does not need this parcel. The County Administrator has discussed the proposed conveyance with City staff and recommends that the County sell the parcel to the City for the assessed value of $44,947.00. Staff recommended the Board determine whether to authorize staff to prepare a contract for sale and purchase to sell the Gray Twig Lane parcel to the City for $44,947.00, authorize the Chair to sign the contract upon receipt from the City and direct staff to record the deed in the public records of St. Lucie County, Florida. Commissioner Hutchinson commended and requested an additional stipulation to the terms of the sale regarding the landscaping around the area. Stephanie Beskovoyne, Deputy Director of the City of Port St. Lucie Utilities, advised they can work the details out in the purchase sale agreement. Commissioner Hutchinson motioned to approve staff recommendation with the additional stipulation that the landscaping needs to meet County standards that can be reviewed through ERD along Midway Road. A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, with an additional stipulation regarding andscaping, and it passed unanimously.
