PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 1. 4540 N. Kings Highway Major Site Plan -THIS ITEM IS QUASI-JUDICIAL This public hearing was Quasi-Judicial, and the present commissioners made the following disclosures regarding this item: Commissioner Larry Leet- Spoke with the staff, applicant, Leah, and Cathlynn regarding the plan. Commissioner James Clasby - Spoke with the applicant team and County staff. Commissioner Erin Lowry - Spoke with Leah from Cotleur & Hearing regarding the updated site plan, redesign, and staff. Commissioner Cathy Townsend - Spoke with the applicant, Leah, and the staff. Irene Szedlmayer, Senior Planner, and Kori Benton, Planning Manager of Planning & Development Services, presented the proposed major site plan approval for 4540 N. Kings Highway to the Board. The 36.6-acre property is located on Kings Highway, a quarter mile south of Indrio Road, within the Towns, Villages and Countryside (TVC) future land use, and the airport overlay zone. The area was rezoned to Planned Unit Development (PUD) in December 2024, and the preliminary development plan was approved. The site plan provides for up to 191 dwelling units at a density of 5.22 units per acre, with 47% common open space, at a diversity of 1, 2, 3, and 4-bedroom units. This includes a dedication of an 80-foot right-of- way along the south boundary of the property for a future East-West Road. The proposed final plan is very consistent with the approved preliminary development plan, which reduces density to 4.5 dwelling units per acre, providing 165 dwellings, with 46% common open space and 1, 2, 3, and 4-bedroom units, and the dedication of right-of-way. The project will be entirely rental. Staff provided an overview of the proposed common open space, including a community park, gym, pocket parks, amenity center, walkways, and a recreation center. Some of the changes that have taken place is the applicant has increased the spacing between the buildings to 15 feet as requested by the Board, with some garages not meeting this distance. The open space provided as community space is now more private, with some areas becoming private open spaces. The proposed architectural elevations remain consistent with the Florida cottage style, featuring two-bedroom, two-bath, two-car garage units and three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath, two-car garage units. All off-street parking will be alley-loaded, with all of the dwellings two car garages, with 19 dwellings having driveway parking in addition to the BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 7, 2026 6:00 PM 10 | Page garage parking, and 136 on-street parking spaces. Staff described the four-bedroom, three- and-a-half-bath house and the three-unit townhouse building, noting the change from eight- unit buildings to three-unit and two-unit buildings. The architectural style includes smaller square windows, larger windows with mullions, and a mixture of vertical and horizontal siding. The preliminary development plan provided for two access points designated as the main access and south access off of Kings Highway, with the final plan showing potential future access roads. King's Highway is controlled by the state government through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the driveway due to the distance from the Cabo Rio driveway. The South access will be for emergency access only, and left turns out of the project may be foreclosed in the future due to the expansion of Kings Highway. FDOT has not yet started the typical engagement for widening the roadway, providing time to work on access issues. In December 2024, the Board approved the PUD rezoning and preliminary development plan, subject to conditions including: • The townhouse building, containing 8 two-story units, is to be divided into 2 buildings with 4 units each. • The 3 townhouse buildings with 16 units are to become 6 buildings with 8 units each. • The buildings are to be separated by 15 feet, wall-to-wall. • The lease shall prohibit parking on the grass. Staff advised that they have yet to review the lease, which may be reviewed later when the applicant applies for building permits and/or Certificate of Occupancy (CO). Staff advised that the applicant has met all the conditions that the Board included in the approval of the community development plan. Staff recommended that the Board adopt the draft Resolution approving the Final Development Plan subject to the conditions identified in the Resolution, as such, may be amended during the public hearing, including: 1. The lease shall contain an acknowledgment of location in the Airport Overlay District. 2. The lease shall prohibit parking on the grass or anywhere outside a designated parking space. 3. Prior to Site Development Permit (SDP), written confirmation from Florida Power & Light (FPL) regarding encroachment by sidewalks and stormwater detention within its easement. 4. Prior to SDP, authorization or permit by FDOT regarding emergency access to the southern entrance drive. 5. Prior to the first CO, primary and secondary access drives shall be permitted and completed. 6. Prior to the first CO, the dedication of 80 feet of ROW along the southern property line. Leah Heinzelman, of Cotleur & Hearing, addressed the Board on behalf of the applicant ACRE Development. She thanked Irene and her staff for their collaboration over the past year and a half to bring the final site plan forward. She advised that the project aims to reflect the Board's prior direction. The professional team has been involved since the community rezoning approval in December 2024, ensuring consistency and improvement in the overall design. The BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 7, 2026 6:00 PM 11 | Page applicant agrees with the staff's recommendation of approval with conditions, as any outstanding items are finalized. Ms. Heinzelman reiterated portions of the staff's presentation and advised that the project is located just south of Indrio Road, along the east side of Kings Highway, within the Kings Highway job corridor district. The project is in proximity to the Treasure Coast Regional Airport, within the Urban Service Boundary, and approximately 0.3 miles from a regional transit stop, making it an appropriate location for attainable housing within the County. The site consists of approximately 36.65 acres, including an 80-foot right-of- way donation along the southern boundary to support the County’s long-term roadway planning efforts. The future land use is TVC with existing PUD zoning. The proposed plan reduces the overall residential intensity from 191 units to 165 units, resulting in a density of 4.8 dwelling units per acre without the right-of-way donation. This is well below the previously approved plan and the allowable density under the future land use designation. This reduction reflects a more thoughtful and balanced approach to the site design, and the development accounts for roughly 3.2 parking spaces per dwelling unit, providing ample space for residents and guests. Through the redesign process, building layouts were refined to meet requirement separations, including a minimum of 15 feet between occupied structures. Larger buildings were broken down into smaller groupings, creating a more human-scaled environment centered around shared spaces. This shift in layout not only reduced the unit count but also significantly enhanced the overall open space framework of the community. She advised that the staff noted in their report that the design will not have any adverse effects on nearby properties, comply with adequate public facilities, confirmation from fire that there is adequate fire protection, the site will be serviced with adequate school facilities, and have no negative environmental impacts. Additionally, the third-party traffic reviewer confirmed the site will not cause any level of service failures. The plan now provides approximately 16.87 acres of contiguous open common open space, an increase of over two acres from the originally approved PUD. These areas include preserved flow ways, dry detention systems, landscape buffers, community greens, and recreation systems. The expanded open space network creates meaningful opportunities for residents, including passive recreation gathering spaces and enhanced pedestrian connectivity throughout the site. The community is further supported by a network of sidewalks and connections, including access to the linear pathway along Kings Highway. Overall, the design reflects a clear emphasis on livability, connectivity, and open space while delivering attainable housing in an appropriate and well-planned location. The applicant appreciates the continued coordination on the remaining conditions, and they are actively working through those items. The applicant has no concerns with the conditions related to the airport overlay, lease restrictions, or final agency confirmations prior to site development permitting. Ms. Heinzelman advised that the final site plan is consistent with the approved PUD, reduces density from what was previously entitled, and significantly increases usable green space for future residents. The applicant respectfully supports approval subject to the remaining conditions. Discussion Commissioner Clasby mentioned that final site plans are not typically taken anymore and provided context for those who might not have watched previous meetings. Commissioner Clasby asked staff about the original entitled density that could have been built. BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 7, 2026 6:00 PM 12 | Page In response, Ms. Szedlmeyer explained that the maximum density that could be considered was 9 dwelling units per acre, which was the future land use designation before the TVC was adopted. Commissioner Clasby asked about the minimum parking standards in neighborhoods such as the proposed. In response, Ms. Szedlmeyer advised two spaces per dwelling unit. Commissioner Clasby expressed the importance of higher standards for neighborhood parking for future developments. He appreciates the developer's efforts to accommodate both building spacing and parking standards, which were initially requested. The Board had no further questions or comments on this matter. A motion was made to approve the staff recommendation, and it passed unanimously.

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 1. Land Development Code Text Amendment to Section 7.04.00 - Area, Yard, Height, and Open Space - Increasing Lot Coverage in the Residential Single-Family-2 (RS-2) District - SECOND READING/ADOPTION HEARING Kori Benton, Planning Manager of Planning and Development Services, presented this item to the Board. The proposed second reading for the Land Development Code (LDC) Text Amendment addressed the building coverage allowances related to the Residential Single- Family-2 (RS-2) zoning district with certain select standards and criteria. The hearing was adequately noticed in the local newspapers, the St. Lucie Tribune, to facilitate the second reading. The petitioner, Robert Dudley, of Noble Oaks Estates LLC, is seeking to update Table 7- 10 within Chapter 7 of the Land Development Code to provide additional building coverage for BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 7, 2026 6:00 PM 14 | Page single-family homes proposed in the RS-2 Zoning District. When certain criteria are met including central utilities, including water, wastewater, electricity, a master designed stormwater system including central utilities, water, wastewater, electricity, a master designed stormwater system, and access via a paved private street that is maintained privately. To allow for additional home size, offsetting some of the demands that would otherwise need to be accommodated on site when there is no master storm water system or central utility, where yard space is allocated to a septic system. The Planning Zoning Commission evaluated the proposal and unanimously recommended approval. The Board also evaluated the proposal at the first reading and is now considering the second reading. Staff provided an overview of a map displaying the areas within the County's unincorporated area that are within the RS-2 zoning district, with only a subset currently eligible for the master stormwater system, central utilities, and private streets for access. This is not to say that in the future, new RS-2 zoning districts or retrofitting these areas couldn't provide eligibility. This is a niche text amendment to provide for developmental opportunities in the RS-2 zoning district, with the minimum lot size criteria for this district being 15,000 square feet, with a maximum density of two dwelling units per acre. This does not alter the density; it alters the building coverage, devoted to the single-family homes, not to exceed 30%. This is similar to other districts. Staff recommended that the Board approve Ordinance 2026-8 as approved by the County Attorney. Vice-Chair Leet opened the hearing for public comment at this time. With no one wishing to address the Board, Vice-Chair Leet closed the public hearing. Discussion Commissioner Clasby clarified for the public that the proposed change is for the RS-2 zoning district maximum lot coverage to 30%, with a note (o) stating with private street(s), central utilities, including water, wastewater, electricity, and a master stormwater system, which is the only change. The amendment includes a 10% addition if the individual does not have a septic tank. Vice-Chair Leet opened the hearing for public comment at this time. With no one wishing to address the Board, Vice-Chair Leet closed the public hearing. The Board had no further questions or comments on this matter. A motion was made to approve the staff recommendation, and it passed unanimously.
