Resolution - Rock Pit Lake Rezoning from the AG-1 (Agricultural - 1 du/ac) to the IX (Industrial, Extraction) zoning district. Linda Pendarvis, Comprehensive Planning Coordinator stated this petition submitted on behalf of Rock Road Holdings, LLC is for an amendment to the Official Zoning Atlas for rezoning a 4.87 acre parcel for AG-1 (Agricultural - 1 du/ac) to IX (Industrial, Extraction) zoning district. This rezoning will allow the subject property use to continue as the ingress and egress to the existing sand mine (Baggett Mine) located on the adjoining property to the west and be used as the staging area for reclamation for the mine. Both parcels are currently owned by the applicant. The lake created as part of the mining operation extends slightly into the western side of the parcel. The property owner wants to continue the use of the subject property for the reclamation of the mine. Staff has determined that this petition is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan and conforms to the standards of review as set forth in Section 11.06.03 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code. Staff recommends that the amending resolution be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation for approval. Public Hearing open The applicant answered questions regarding clean debri which would be aggregate (concrete) no fill dirt. He also explained the process of filling the lake and having all the required permits. Public Hearing closed The Board discussed other issues with the applicant regarding, excessive over flow, spotters, no fill dirt, having South Florida Water Management and DEP permits. Working with CDM Smith; primary reason to close out the mine, selling the property and it not being a quick project.

RESULT: DENY [6 TO 2] MOVER: James Clasby, Vice Chairman SECONDER: Craig Mundt, Board Member AYES: Clasby, Lounds, Mundt, Smith, Hopkins, Lowe NAYS: William O'Dell, James Taylor ABSENT: Kara Wood D. Postponement of the Placement of Wireless Communication Facilities Katherine Barbieri, Asst. County Attorney stated in 2008, St. Lucie County enacted a comprehensive telecommunications tower siting ordinance. In January 2009, the BOCC approved Ordinance No. 09-003, which revised the minimum separation requirements for towers. In 2016, St. Lucie County received several applications for rights of way permits to place small cells and other equipment in St. Lucie County rights of way. On December 20, 2016, the Board adopted Ordinance No 16-022, which postponed the acceptance of applications for, or the approval of, permits or development orders for wireless communications facilities within rights on way. On April 4, 2017, the Board approved permission to advertise a proposed ordinance amending Section 7.10.23 Wireless Telecommunication Towers and Antennas of St. Lucie County Land Development Code. The intent was to reduce the separation requirements. Florida CS/CS/HB 687 is a bill that creates the Advanced Wireless Infrastructure Deployment Act, which provides for the collocation of small cell wireless facilities on an authority's utility poles and access to the public rights of way for wireless communications infrastructure. An authority is a county or municipality having jurisdiction or control of the rights-of-way or any public road. On July 5, 2017, the BOCC granted permission to advertise a proposed ordinance postponing the placement of wireless telecommunications facilities. Staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission forward the draft ordinance to the BOCC with a recommendation of approval.
