1/2 mile north of the intersection of Hammond Road and St. Lucie Blvd. The subject property

conflicts with aviation safety and security. The applicant has submitted a companion
development application for a major site plan that is being reviewed and processed

consist of six residences and 12 recreational vehicle lots that are not open to the public. The
existing 1,176 s.f. structure on the property wil be demolished. Fort Pierce Utilities Authority
(FPUA) will provide water and wastewater service for the proposed commercial development.
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission forward a recommendation of approval
for the proposed amendment to the officical zoning atlas from IL (Industrial, light) to RVP
(Recreational Vehicle Park).
