1. Southern Truss Companies - Amendment to the Official Zoning Atlas (Rezoning) from AG-1 (Agricultural - 1) to
IL (Industrial, Light) Zoning District. The 29.24-acre petition site is located east of Southern Truss Companies
facility, west of Taylor Dairy Road, north of the Fort Pierce Farms Water Control District Canal (#1) in St. Lucie
County, Florida.
The purpose of the request is to incorporate this site into the proposed expansion of the Southern Truss
manufacturing facility located west of the petition site at 2590 North Kings Highway, Fort Pierce, FL 34951. -
THIS ITEM IS QUASI-JUDICIAL
This public hearing was Quasi -Judicial, and the commissioners made the following disclosures regarding
this item:
Commissioner Frannie Hutchinson - Spoke with Staff and Economic Development Council (EDC)
members
Commissioner Linda Bartz - Spoke with Staff and Economic Development Council (EDC) members
Commissioner Sean Mitchell - Spoke with Staff and Economic Development Council (EDC) members
Commissioner Cathy Townsend - Spoke with Staff and Economic Development Council (EDC) members
Chair Chris Dzadovsky - Spoke with Staff and Economic Development Council (EDC) members
Tahir Curry, Planning & Development Services Associate Planner, presented this item to the Board. A
public hearing was noticed with a sign on the petition site fronting Kings Highway and Taylor Dairy Road,
a Display Ad in the Local Newspaper on September 22, 2021, and mailed out notices were sent to (9)
property owners within 500 ft. of the subject site. The Planning Department received no response. On
August 4, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners approved an Amendment to the Official Zoning
Atlas for rezoning from the AG-1 (Agricultural —1) to IL (Industrial, Light) Zoning District for the 5.27-acre
land area located on the northeast corner of the petition site. The 5.27 acres of the 34.51-acre property
was approved for a lot split. The proposed rezoning to the IL (Industrial, Light) Zoning District is
consistent with the Towns, Villages, and Countryside Future designation.
The proposed Rezone Petition will conform to the minimum lot standards under the Land Development
Code Section 7.04.01 for the Utility zoning district. This current request for rezoning supports Southern
Truss Companies' proposal to expand into a 33,600 sq. ft. manufacturing facility with site improvements
and associated stormwater located at 2590 North Kings Highway. The 29.24-acre segment of the
undeveloped parcel will be adjoined to the existing Southern Truss Companies' facilities site to the west.
The applicant submitted a Major Adjustment to the Major Site Plan to run concurrently with this rezone
request to expand the company's operations. On June 17, 2021, the Planning & Zoning Commission

2. County Initiated a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Include a New Element Entitled Property Rights - The
legislation was passed this year that requires each local government to adopt a property rights element as a
part of their Comprehensive Plan.
Jodi Nentwick, Planning & Development Services Senior Planner, presented this item to the Board.
Under public notice requirements outlined in Section 11.00.03 of the St. Lucie County Land
Development Code, public notice for this item was advertised in the St. Lucie News Tribune on Sunday,
September 14, 2021. The proposed amendment is required due to new legislative mandates, effective
July 1, 2021. In particular, House Bill 59 — Growth Management requires all local governments to have a
Property Rights Element included in their comprehensive plan. The legislation modified Chapter
163.3177 of the Florida Statutes to add a Property Rights Element as one of the required elements in all
Comprehensive Plans. The legislation also limits the ability to adopt any other Comprehensive Plan
amendments initiated after July 1 from being adopted until the Property Rights Element is adopted. The
State defines amendments initiated after July 1, 2021, as those amendments which had their first public
hearing, in our case a Planning and Zoning Commission hearing, after that date.
This proposed amendment will add a new Element to the Comprehensive Plan. House Bill 59 states that
a local government may adopt the rights statement, as outlined in Chapter 163. Local governments may
also adopt their Property Rights Element, so long as the element does not conflict with the statement of
rights listed within House Bill 59. The proposed element meets the intent of the language within the
House Bill. The proposed amendment is not anticipated to require any changes to the Land
Development Code. Staff recommended the Board approve transmittal of the Comprehensive Plan Text
Amendment to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) to create a new element entitled
"Property Rights."

Acres or Greater
Daniel McIntyre, County Attorney, presented this item to the Board. Staff proposed a draft ordinance
which, if adopted, would provide an option for unpaved trails in lieu of paved sidewalks for those

2. Resolution No. 21-386 Providing for Discounting the Amount of Road Impact Fees Collected Within the City of
Port St. Lucie - ADD ON
Daniel McIntyre, County Attorney, presented this item to the Board. The County previously had an
Interlocal Agreement with the City of Port St. Lucie, which the Agreement provided for crediting the
amount of City road impact fees against the County's road impact fee, resulting in a reduction which could
have been up to 50%. Still, the City chose to levy a lower amount of (23%) in the amount of County road
impact fees collected by the City and transmitted to the County. The City has terminated the Interlocal
Agreement with the County and has stopped collecting the County's Road Impact Fee effective October 1,
2021. The County proposes until the Road Impact Fee Updates and potential Resolution adoption of an
updated Road Impact Fee Ordinance during the interim. The County desires to discount the amount of
road impact fees collected within the City of Port St. Lucie by (25%) to collect the same amount of road
impact fees within the City as is collected under the prior Interlocal Agreement. The current discount is
10%, making it an increase of 15%. Once the Impact Fee Update is completed, and an Updated Impact Fee
Ordinance adopted and implemented, if any, the requirements in the draft Resolution will be superseded
by those provisions that may be adopted.
When impact fees are discounted, alternate funding sources are needed. Mr. McIntyre requested
confirmation from the County Administrator if alternative revenue resources are available for two to three
months to fund the difference between 0%-25% of discounted impact fees. Howard Tipton County
Administrator confirmed for the two to three-month time frame, alternate revenue resources are available
in the Reserves, Gas Tax, Infrastructure Sales Tax, and many other ways to address the item.
A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, and it passed unanimously.
