Page 15 of 268 Petition: R Floyd Rezone File No.: RZ-2304-000022 Page 3 Proposed Rezoning I (Institutional) to RS-4(Single-Family Residential) Future Land Use: The Future Land Use designation of the subject property is RU (Residential, Urban). The Residential Urban (RU) land use category “Classification is the predominant residential land use category in the County. This residential land use category provides for a maximum density of five (5) dwelling units per gross acre. The RU designation is generally found between the identified urban service areas and the transitional RS areas. These properties need to be serviced with central water and wastewater services. These services may be provided by either a public utility or through private on-site facilities, as would be permitted in accordance with all applicable regulations. New development in the RU areas can occur using traditional single-family or multifamily zoning designations or through the planned unit development process. Limited nonresidential uses may be appropriate, in accordance with applicable standards and restrictions as set forth in the Land Development Code..” Current Zoning: The current zoning of the subject property is I (Institutional). “The purpose of this district is to provide and protect and environment suitable for institutional, public, and quasi-public uses, together with such other uses as may be compatible with institutional, public, and quasi-public surroundings.” Proposed Zoning: The proposed zoning of the subject property is RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4). “The purpose of this district is to provide and protect an environment suitable for single-family dwellings at a maximum density of four (4) dwelling units per gross acre, together with such other uses as may be necessary for and compatible with low density residential surroundings.” Page 16 of 268 Petition: R Floyd Rezone File No.: RZ-2304-000022 Page 4 ********************************************** STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 11.06.03 In reviewing this application for an amendment to the Official Zoning Atlas, the Board of County Commissioners and the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider and make the following determinations: A. Whether the proposed rezoning is in conflict with any applicable portions of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code; The proposed rezoning to the RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4) Zoning District is consistent with the St. Lucie County Land Development Code (LDC), and meets the Standards of Review set forth in LDC Section 11.06.03, as displayed in Sections A thru J of this report. The rezoning is consistent with LDC Section 11.09.02(A), Table 11-1 - Zoning District/ Land Use Category Compatibility Chart. The Parcels meet the dimensional requirements set forth in Section 7.04.00 and Table 7-10 – Lot Size and Dimensional Requirements for the RS-4, (Residential, Single-family-4) Zoning District, with limited exception. Parcel 2406-504-0008-000-5, which is +/-0.34 in size and contains an existing 1,840 sq. ft. home, does not feature the minimum 30ft. frontage required, due to the parcel’s configuration after acquiring the west half of right-of-way abandoned from Behrens Road which left the parcel with a 25ft. measurement along the road. The joint applicants are working to resolve this conflict prior to the matter’s scheduling before the Board of County Commissioners, by quit-claiming all of the abandoned right-of-way to the difficient parcel, to shore up dimensional compliance. Exhibit 1: Land to be Quit-Claimed & Adjoined to Parcel 2406-504-0008-000-5 - in Blue Page 17 of 268 Petition: R Floyd Rezone File No.: RZ-2304-000022 Page 5 B. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan; The proposed rezoning to the RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4) Zoning District is consistent with the Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use designation as provided in the table within Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.1.3 – Land Use Designation / Zoning Compatibility Chart. Table 1 - Land Use Designation / Zoning Compatibility Table - Excerpt Future Land Use CategoriesZoning Districts AG - 5 AG - 2. 5 RE RS RU RM RH R/ C Cp u b CO M IN D P/ F MX D SD H T/ U TV C RS-4 X X X X The proposed amendment is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element’s Goals, Objectives and Policies: Goal 1.1: Ensure the highest quality living environment possible, through a mixture of land uses reflecting the needs and desires of the local residents and how they want their community to develop. The goal shall be implemented by strictly enforced building, zoning, and development codes based on objectives and policies that will enhance St. Lucie County’s natural and manmade resources while minimizing any damage or threat of degradation to the health, safety and welfare of the county’s citizens, native wildlife and environment, through incompatible land uses. Objective 1.1.9: Residential Areas. Property owners' investments, their quality of life and the single- family neighborhood, as a defined residential area, shall be protected from the encroachment of commercial and/or other inappropriate land uses through consistent and predictable application of the Land Development Code. The proposed rezoning will restore defined boundaries of the established single-family area. C. Whether and the extent to which the proposed zoning is inconsistent with the existing and proposed land uses; The proposed rezoning from I (Institutional) to the RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4) Zoning District is consistent with the existing and proposed land uses. As stated above, the RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4) Zoning District is compatible with the RU (Residential, Urban) Future Land Use designation as per both the Land Development Code (LDC) and the Comprehensive Plan. This amendment will not create a conflict with the surrounding zoning districts and is similar in nature to the existing uses.

Whether there have been changed conditions that require an amendment; Mr. Floyd owned the property when rezoned in 1990, with the intent to build an Assisted Living Facility (ALF). The project did not advance, while the existing single-family home remained in use, with the abutting parcels undeveloped. Residential demand across the County has increased over recent years, with emphasis on new residential infill in proximity to growing industry adjacent to the Angle Road, Orange Avenue, and Kings Highway corridors. The St. Lucie County School District is advancing plans to redevelop the Fort Pierce Westwood Academy Highschool, situated to the west. E. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in demands on public facilities, and whether or to the extent to which the proposed amendment would exceed the capacity of such public facilities, including but not limited to transportation facilities, sewage facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, and emergency medical facilities; The proposed change in zoning should not adversely affect the acceptable level of service capacity of transportation facilities, sewage facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, or emergency medical facilities. Site-specific impacts will be addressed further through development application for the two (2) undeveloped parcels. Impacts from two (2) single-family homes would be de minimus with public facilities well established in the area. The applicant has signed the required Concurrency Deferral Affidavit recognizing this provision. Water/Wastewater The subject property is located within the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority (FPUA) service area. Central water and sewer are established in proximity, however the existing home has a well and septic system with no connections currently to the undeveloped parcels. Future development will require coordination with the St. Lucie County Health Department and the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority, to determine approaches to water and wastewater service. Transportation Impacts Avenue Q, to the north, is considered a major collector class of roadway which provides connectivity between Angle Road and 25th Street, and further to the east. The rezone petition is not anticipated to cause adverse traffic impacts for the surrounding area. Adequacy of Fire Protection The rezoning is not anticipated to impose additional impacts to the St. Lucie County Fire District. The closest Fire Station (Station #1), is located at 2400 Rhode Island Ave, Fort Pierce, FL 34950, approximately 3.4 miles southeast of the subject site. F. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant adverse impacts on the natural environment; Background The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) is in receipt of the April 3, 2023, date-stamped submittal, transmitted April 17, 2023, with comments due May 11, 2023, from Planning and Development Services. The applicant requests approval of a Rezoning from Institutional (I) to Residential, Single-Family – 4 du/ac (RS-4) for two (2) parcels (Parcel IDs 2406-131-0003-010-9 & 2406-504-0008-000-5), and a portion of one (1) parcel Page 19 of 268 Petition: R Floyd Rezone File No.: RZ-2304-000022 Page 7 (Parcel ID 2406-504-0007-000-8). The subject rezoning sites consist of 0.96-acres and currently has one (1) existing residence on the southern parcel. The northern and eastern parcels remain vacant. The project is generally located at 1707 Behrens Rd. in Fort Pierce. Findings The proposed Rezoning is not anticipated to result in any adverse environmental impacts as no development activities are proposed at this time. If site development activities are proposed in the future, ERD will conduct further review through the site plan or building permit review process, including but not limited to, tree mitigation requirements should any existing native trees meeting mitigation thresholds outlined in Land Development Code (LDC) 6.00.05.D need to be impacted for future development of the property. Recommendation The Environmental Resources Department has no objection to the approval of the rezoning application. G. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would adversely affect the property values in the area; The proposed amendment is not anticipated to affect property values in the area, while supporting and protecting a single-family character. H. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in an orderly and logical development pattern specifically identifying any negative affects of such patterns; The proposed change in zoning will result in an orderly and logical development pattern. The parcel is located inside the urban service boundary, surrounded by existing uses and zoning. The requested rezone is not expected to harm other properties or improvements in the area. This rezone petition will provide a uniform residential development pattern consisten with abutting land uses. I. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public interest, and is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this Code; The proposed rezoning is not in conflict with the public interest and is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Land Development Code. J. Any other matters that may be deemed appropriate by the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Board of County Commissioners, in review and consideration of the proposed amendment. The Planning and Zoning Commission may present other matters related to the proposed amendments. CONCLUSION: Staff has reviewed this petition and determined that it conforms to the Standards of Review as set forth in Section 11.06.03 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, upon resolution of the frontage criteria before scheduling before the Board of County Commissioners, and is consistent with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies.

Concurrency Document: Concurrency Deferral Affidavit BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS The applicants, Regional Floyd, Barbara Floyd, and Fausto Rivas, are requesting a change in zoning to rezone three (3) properties from the I (Institutional) Zoning District to the RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4) Zoning District in accordance with the Land Development Code Section 3.01.03.J. The subject properties total approximately 1.02 acres. Parcel 2406-504-0007-0008, approximately 0.30 acres in size, contains Lots 7 and 8 within the Anglevilla Subidivision, Block One and has split zoning of I (Institutional) and RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4). The purpose of this request is to retain the existing single-family home at 1707 Behrens Rd., as a conforming use, and provide the opportunity for a single-family home on each of the two remaining lots. HISTORY On January 10, 1989, the Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution No. 89-09, granting an Amendment to the Official Zoning Atlas from the RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4) Zoning District to the I (Institutional) Zoning District.

Page 28 of 268 Petition: R Floyd Rezone File No.: RZ-2304-000022 Page 3 Proposed Rezoning I (Institutional) to RS-4(Single-Family Residential) Future Land Use: The Future Land Use designation of the subject property is RU (Residential, Urban). The Residential Urban (RU) land use category “Classification is the predominant residential land use category in the County. This residential land use category provides for a maximum density of five (5) dwelling units per gross acre. The RU designation is generally found between the identified urban service areas and the transitional RS areas. These properties need to be serviced with central water and wastewater services. These services may be provided by either a public utility or through private on-site facilities, as would be permitted in accordance with all applicable regulations. New development in the RU areas can occur using traditional single-family or multifamily zoning designations or through the planned unit development process. Limited nonresidential uses may be appropriate, in accordance with applicable standards and restrictions as set forth in the Land Development Code..” Current Zoning: The current zoning of the subject property is I (Institutional). “The purpose of this district is to provide and protect and environment suitable for institutional, public, and quasi-public uses, together with such other uses as may be compatible with institutional, public, and quasi-public surroundings.” Proposed Zoning: The proposed zoning of the subject property is RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4). “The purpose of this district is to provide and protect an environment suitable for single-family dwellings at a maximum density of four (4) dwelling units per gross acre, together with such other uses as may be necessary for and compatible with low density residential surroundings.” Page 29 of 268 Petition: R Floyd Rezone File No.: RZ-2304-000022 Page 4 ********************************************** STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 11.06.03 In reviewing this application for an amendment to the Official Zoning Atlas, the Board of County Commissioners and the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider and make the following determinations: A. Whether the proposed rezoning is in conflict with any applicable portions of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code; The proposed rezoning to the RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4) Zoning District is consistent with the St. Lucie County Land Development Code (LDC), and meets the Standards of Review set forth in LDC Section 11.06.03, as displayed in Sections A thru J of this report. The rezoning is consistent with LDC Section 11.09.02(A), Table 11-1 - Zoning District/ Land Use Category Compatibility Chart. The Parcels meet the dimensional requirements set forth in Section 7.04.00 and Table 7-10 – Lot Size and Dimensional Requirements for the RS-4, (Residential, Single-family-4) Zoning District, with limited exception. Parcel 2406-504-0008-000-5, which is +/-0.34 in size and contains an existing 1,840 sq. ft. home, does not feature the minimum 30ft. frontage required, due to the parcel’s configuration after acquiring the west half of right-of-way abandoned from Behrens Road which left the parcel with a 25ft. measurement along the road. The joint applicants are working to resolve this conflict prior to the matter’s scheduling before the Board of County Commissioners, by quit-claiming all of the abandoned right-of-way to the difficient parcel, to shore up dimensional compliance.

Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan; The proposed rezoning to the RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4) Zoning District is consistent with the Residential Urban (RU) Future Land Use designation as per Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.1.3 – there is consistency of the future land use designation and the proposed zoning district as identified below. Land Use Designation / Zoning Compatibility Table - Excerpt Future Land Use CategoriesZoning Districts AG - 5 AG - 2. 5 RE RS RU RM RH R/ C Cp u b CO M IN D P/ F MX D SD H T/ U TV C RS-4 X X X X The proposed amendment is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element’s Goals, Objectives and Policies: Goal 1.1: Ensure the highest quality living environment possible, through a mixture of land uses reflecting the needs and desires of the local residents and how they want their community to develop. The goal shall be implemented by strictly enforced building, zoning, and development codes based on objectives and policies that will enhance St. Lucie County’s natural and manmade resources while minimizing any damage or threat of degradation to the health, safety and welfare of the county’s citizens, native wildlife and environment, through incompatible land uses. Objective 1.1.9: Residential Areas. Property owners' investments, their quality of life and the single- family neighborhood, as a defined residential area, shall be protected from the encroachment of commercial and/or other inappropriate land uses through consistent and predictable application of the Land Development Code. The proposed rezoning will restore defined boundaries of the established single-family area. C. Whether and the extent to which the proposed zoning is inconsistent with the existing and proposed land uses; The proposed rezoning from I (Institutional) to the RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4) Zoning District is consistent with the existing and proposed land uses. As stated above, the RS-4 (Residential, Single-Family - 4) Zoning District is compatible with the RU (Residential, Urban) Future Land Use designation as per both the Land Development Code (LDC) and the Comprehensive Plan. This amendment will not create a conflict with the surrounding zoning districts and is similar in nature to the existing uses.

Whether there have been changed conditions that require an amendment; Mr. Floyd owned the property when rezoned in 1990, with the intent to build an Assisted Living Facility (ALF). The project did not advance, while the existing single-family home remained in use with the abutting parcels undeveloped. Residential demand across the County has increased over recent years, with emphasis on new residential infill in proximity to growing industry adjacent to the Angle Road, Orange Avenue and Kings Highway corridors. The St. Lucie County School District is advancing plans to redevelop the Fort Pierce Westwood Academy Highschool, situated to the west. E. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in demands on public facilities, and whether or to the extent to which the proposed amendment would exceed the capacity of such public facilities, including but not limited to transportation facilities, sewage facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, and emergency medical facilities; The proposed change in zoning should not adversely affect the acceptable level of service capacity of transportation facilities, sewage facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, or emergency medical facilities. Site-specific impacts will be addressed further through development application for the two (2) undeveloped parcels. Impacts from two (2) single-family homes would be de minimus with public facilities well established in the area. The applicant has signed the required Concurrency Deferral Affidavit recognizing this provision. Water/Wastewater The subject property is located within the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority (FPUA) service area. Central water and sewer are established in proximity, however the existing home has a well and septic system with no connections currently to the undeveloped parcels. Future development will require coordination with the St. Lucie County Health Department and the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority, to determine approaches to water and wastewater service. Transportation Impacts Avenue Q, to the north, is considered a major collector class of roadway which provides connectivity between Angle Road and 25th Street, and further to the east. The rezone petition is not anticipated to cause adverse traffic impacts for the surrounding area. Adequacy of Fire Protection The rezoning is not anticipated to impose additional impacts to the St. Lucie County Fire District. The closest Fire Station (Station #1), is located at 2400 Rhode Island Ave, Fort Pierce, FL 34950, approximately 3.4 miles southeast of the subject site. F. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant adverse impacts on the natural environment; Background The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) is in receipt of the April 3, 2023, date-stamped submittal, transmitted April 17, 2023, with comments due May 11, 2023, from Planning and Development Services. The applicant requests approval of a Rezoning from Institutional (I) to Residential, Single-Family – 4 du/ac (RS-4) for two (2) parcels (Parcel IDs 2406-131-0003-010-9 & 2406-504-0008-000-5), and a portion of one (1) parcel (Parcel ID 2406-504-0007-000-8). The subject rezoning sites consist of 0.96-acres and currently has one (1) Page 32 of 268 Petition: R Floyd Rezone File No.: RZ-2304-000022 Page 7 existing residence on the southern parcel. The northern and eastern parcels remain vacant. The project is generally located at 1707 Behrens Rd. in Fort Pierce. Findings The proposed Rezoning is not anticipated to result in any adverse environmental impacts as no development activities are proposed at this time. If site development activities are proposed in the future, ERD will conduct further review through the site plan or building permit review process, including but not limited to, tree mitigation requirements should any existing native trees meeting mitigation thresholds outlined in Land Development Code (LDC) 6.00.05.D need to be impacted for future development of the property. Recommendation The Environmental Resources Department has no objection to the approval of the rezoning application. G. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would adversely affect the property values in the area; The proposed amendment is not anticipated to affect property values in the area, while supporting and protecting a single-family character. H. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in an orderly and logical development pattern specifically identifying any negative affects of such patterns; The proposed change in zoning will result in an orderly and logical development pattern. The parcel is located inside the urban service boundary, surrounded by existing uses and zoning. The requested rezone is not expected to harm other properties or improvements in the area. This rezone petition will provide a uniform residential development pattern consisten with abutting land uses. I. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public interest, and is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this Code; The proposed rezoning is not in conflict with the public interest and is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Land Development Code. J. Any other matters that may be deemed appropriate by the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Board of County Commissioners, in review and consideration of the proposed amendment. The Planning and Zoning Commission may present other matters related to the proposed amendments. CONCLUSION: Staff has reviewed this petition and determined that it conforms to the Standards of Review as set forth in Section 11.06.03 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, upon resolution of the frontage criteria before scheduling before the Board of County Commissioners, and is consistent with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies.

If site development activities are proposed in the future, ERD will conduct further review through the site plan or building permit review process, including but not limited to, tree mitigation requirements should any existing native trees meeting mitigation thresholds outlined in Land Development Code (LDC) 6.00.05.D need to be impacted for future development of the property. Recommendation The Environmental Resources Department has no objection to the approval of the rezoning application. Please contact Bryan-James Redden at 772-462-3862 if you have any questions.

LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA /S/ BOB LOWE, CHAIR PUBLISH DATE: Friday, May 5, 2023 TR-GCl10573'48-01 Page 49 of 268 10A I FRIDAY, MAY 5, 2023 TREASURE COAST NEWSPAPERS sc Bills Continued from Page 1A for president. Emotions nm high as lawmakers debated the bills - and among protesters who occupied Desantis' office Wednesday afternoon while condemning a range of legislation passed this year that they say targets LGBTQ people, immigrants, people of color and other margin- alized groups. On the House and Senate floors, Democrats lam- basted the "Don't Say Oay" expansion as yet another way state leaders arc attacking LCBTQ Floridians, es- pecially those who are trans. The higher education bill, they said, ignores Black history and will ultimately hurt student enrollment and faculty recruitment and reten- tion. "There's an old saying my daddy would say: 'Jf you think education is expensive, try ignorance," said Rep. La Von Bracy Davis, u-Ocoee. "who determlnes what is distortion and what is the truth? Whose lens are we looking through?" Republicans defended the bills as measures that will keep so-called "woke" ideas out of education and, in the case of the "Don't Say Gay" expansion, return control of discussions about gender and sexuality to parents. "In recent years, DEi has become synonymous with lowering standards in the name of equity to protect stu- dents' feelings," said Rep. Alex Andrade, R-Pensacola, the sponsor of the higher education bill. Earlier in the week, U.S. News and World Report ranked Florida no. lin the country for higher education based on tuition and graduation rate data from the last five years. Critics of the Republican-led higher educa- tion overhaul have pointed to the state's well-regarded university and state college system as evidence that DEi programs haven't eroded the quality of education students arc receiving. DEi bill diluted after accreditation concerns Soon after his double-digit reelection in November, Desantis announced he would review what he said were "trendy" DEi programs on college campuses, de- spite the fact that the board overseeing the university system told universities to prioritize such efforts in the wake of the 2020 police murder of George Floyd. House Speaker Paul Renner followed suit, request- ing thousands of pages of records from universities, in- cluding emails from professors involved in DEi pro- grams. Andrade flied House Bill 999 in February, and Sen. Erin Grall followed suit in her chamber with Senate Bill 266. Along with banning funding for DEi programs, the bills prohibited majors or minors in critical race theory, gender studies or interscctionality. They also included a measure to grant faculty hiring and firing power to De- Santis-appointed university boards of trustees and a proposal backed by Desantis to make tenured faculty subject to a job review at any time. But, facing accreditation concerns, the legislation was diluted over the course of the lawmaking session, which ends Frida)'. What lawmakers passed Wednesday still buns DEi funding and demands that university leaders review any curriculum "based on theories that systemic rac- ism, sexism and privilege are inherent in the institu- tions of the United States and were created to maintain social, political and economic inequities." The sections about on-demand tenure review and that granted faculty hiring and firing power to the boardsoftrusteesdidn'tsurvive, nor did the ban oncer- tain majors and minors. Still, the measure is seen as a continuation of last year's Stop WOKE Act, a key Desantis policy that simi- larly restricted discussion of race and gender in work- places and on college campuses.

The roundatton for Individual Rights and Expres- sion, the free speech group that sued the state over the law, said Wednesday the DEi bill is also unconstitution- al. "It denies academic freedom and funding to anyone not in lockstep with Plorida Republicans' preferred po- sitions," said Joe Cohn, the group's legislative and pol- icy director. "No ideas arc so repugnant that the govern- ment may ban students or professors at our public in- stitutions of higher education from discussing them as they see fit." Regulating pronouns and erasing trans, non-binary identities from health education Despite insistence by Republican lawmakers last year that the "Don't Say Oay" bill was intended to pro- tect younger children from classroom Instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation, they on Wednesday expanded the bill's reach through eighth grade. n's unclear how the law will mesh with a Florida De- partment of Education rule passed last month that ex- panded the bill to all grades. Lawmakers and Depart- ment ofEducation officials have also declined to define the tenns "gender identity" and "sexual orientation," even as critics of the luw ho.vc pointed out that, on its face, it could be used to ban instruction on heterosexual relationships in history, such as the marriage of George and Martha Washington. The bill requires health education classes that touch on issues of human sexuality to teach "that biological males impregnate biological females ... that the female then gestates the offspring" and that "these reproduc- tive roles arc binary, stable and unchangeable" - effec- tively erasing the existence of transgcndcr and non-bi- nary identities from the curriculum. The bill also bars teachers from referring to students or their colleagues by a pronoun or name that doesn't correspond to their sex assigned at btrth. They also pro- vide protections to students who don't want to refer to a fellow student by their desired name or pronouns. While LGBTQ advocates and Democratic lawmakers have said that provision is disrespectful to trans stu- dents and teachers, Senate bill sponsor Sen. Clay Yar- borough said that respect goes both ways. "n's a two-way street," Yarborough, R-Jacksonville, said. "Every student needs to be respectful of other stu- dents and of their teachers, but also teachers and stu- dents who may be transitioning ... would likewise need to be respectful of the personal convictions of others." Ultimately, several Democratic lawmakers said, the bill contributes to a growing trend in red states across the country of targeting LCBTQ rights through legisla- tion and hannful rhetoric. "we·rc choosing to blatantly ignore the ramifications of our actions, and we've done that in bill after bill after bill thissession,"said Sen. Tracie Davis, 0-Jacksonvillc.

This part of unincorporated St. Lucie County was brought into the Urban Services Boundary by Ordinance 22-015, effective September 2022. The location of the subject site is shown in Figure 1. The boundaries of the City of Port St. Lucie in the vicinity of the subject site are illustrated in Figure 2. The site, currently planted with citrus is illustrated in Figure 3. The Application seeks an amendment of the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map regarding approximately 245.27 acres. The large-scale map amendment, if approved, will change the future land use designation from AG-5 (Agricultural-5) to MXD (Mixed Use Development) with associated Specific Use Areas devoted to Heavy Industrial, Light-Industrial, and Light Industrial/Commercial uses, all requiring future development pursuant to a PNRD (Planned Non-Residential Development) Zoning District. This requirement provides means to help ensure the proposed industrial development on the subject site remains compatible with nearby land uses. The proposed Rainbow Groves Specific Use Activity Plan is shown in Figure 4. [remainder of page is blank] Page 59 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 3 of 23 Figure 1.

Rainbow Groves Specific Use Activity Area Plan – Proposed The three Specific Use Areas will be established pursuant to Comprehensive Plan Policies 1.1.8.3 and 1.1.8.4.4. Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.8.3. provides that the “County shall continue to support and implement the mixed use activity areas as indicated in the Sub-area Mixed Use Activity Area Plans as depicted by name in this [the Future Land Use] Element.” Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.8.4. describes the purpose of Specific Use Areas as follows: Page 62 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 6 of 23 “Areas with special or unique local character may be included within the Mixed Use Designation. These areas, because of conditions unique or peculiar to them alone, have been limited to specific activities and zoning options as set forth in the activity area plans described in Policy 1.1.8.3. Any zoning application not consistent with this policy must be accompanied by a corresponding Comprehensive Plan Amendment indicating the change in intensity classification. Application of the Specific Use Area designation is to be made to those areas recognized by the County as suitable for alternative land use as the full spectrum of community services become available. This designation would serve to prevent the unplanned or premature development of such areas until all services were provided for and are consistent with the Future Land Use development philosophy of St. Lucie County. The terminology used in the Specific Use designation identifies the type of permitted activity, maximum zoning density or maximum zoning intensity. Each Mixed Use Activity area will identify the type of Special Use areas in the legends of each area.” The requested amendment of the Future Land Use Map will create three Specific Use Areas as follows: ➢MXD-Heavy Industrial Specific Use Area on approximately 151 acres in the central area of the site to be developed pursuant to a Planned Non-Residential Development. ➢MXD-Light Industrial Specific Use Area on approximately 49 acres on the western portion of the site adjacent to agricultural land to be developed pursuant to a Planned Non-Residential Development. ➢MXD-Light Industrial / Commercial Specific Use Area on approximately 46 acres fronting Range Line Road. The existing Future Land Use Map and the proposed Future Land Use Map are shown in Figures 5 and 6. A Future Land Use Map amendment is often accompanied by a concurrent request to amend the Zoning Atlas (Rezoning). However, in this case, future rezoning will be to Planned Non-Residential Development (PNRD) which requires a Preliminary Development Plan application. The rezoning of the subject parcels will be addressed in separate, future proceedings. Page 63 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 7 of 23 Figure 5. Existing Future Land Use Map Figure 6. Proposed Future Land Use Map Subject Site Subject Site = AG-5 Future Land Use = IND Future Land Use = AG-5 Future Land Use = IND Future Land Use = MXD Future Land Use Page 64 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 8 of 23 In reviewing petitions for amendments to the Future Land Use Map, the Planning and Zoning Commission should consider whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. The Development Review Committee (DRC) has reviewed this petition and determined it complies with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. The proposed Amendment is consistent with the overall intent of the Comprehensive Plan which encourages the integration of development opportunities in a manner that is based upon the general principals of smart growth, energy-efficient land use patterns, discouraging urban sprawl, and supporting sustainable industrial growth in appropriate areas. The MXD (Mixed Use Development) Future Land Use designation with accompanying Specific Use Areas for the subject site provide for the creation of employment opportunities in proximity to substantial planned residential development while also protecting nearby residential areas from negative impacts. Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.2.1. provides as follows: “The adopted Future Land Use Map Series and any amendments shall promote responsible growth management practices. When considering any amendment to the Future Land Use Maps of the County’s Comprehensive Plan, the County Commission shall make the following findings, supported by the other elements of this Plan, prior to taking any approval actions granting an individual amendment to the Future Land Use Maps: 1.That the property under land use amendment application is adjunct to, or within no more than one-quarter mile of the same or greater type of land use classification. 2.That the property under land use amendment consideration lies within the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program of the Water and Wastewater Master Plan for St. Lucie County (or can be reasonably accommodated with an amendment to the Master Plan) or otherwise meets the requirements of Policy 1.1.5.4.(1)” (1) Staff believes the reference to Policy 1.1.5.4. is a scrivener’s error and the correct reference is to Policy 1.1.5.2. Policy 1.1.5.4. provides as follows: “Retain Towns, Villages, and Countryside (TVC) Element to develop North County areas along an urban-to-rural transect with a grid transportation network, interconnected greenway network, and low impact development standards;” whereas, Policy 1.1.5.2. provides: “Require that new development be designed and planned in a manner which does not place an economic burden upon the services and facilities of St. Lucie St. Lucie County.” FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH IN THE ST. LUCIE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Page 65 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 9 of 23 While the MXD Future Land Use designation is not located within one-quarter mile (1,320 feet) of the subject site, the subject site abuts approximately 345 acres with the IND (Industrial) Future Land Use and in the IH (Industrial, Heavy) Zoning District. The IND Future Land Use designation is the “same or greater type” of land use classification as that being requested. The City of Port St. Lucie’s NCD (New Community Development) Future Land Use designation covers some 14,500 acres between Range Line Road, I-95 and the County Line Canal. The City’s goal for the NCD is “to create large-scale, sustainable new communities with mixed uses.” NCD permits up to 28 dwelling units per acre. The approved Wilson Groves, Riverland/Kennedy and Tradition DRI’s include more than 25,000 dwelling units. The subject site is not within the County’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Program of the Water and Wastewater Master Plan, but the St. Lucie County FY 2023 Capital Improvement Plan allocates $3,000,000 in 2023 and $6,000,000 in FY 2024 for a Water Treatment Plant that is intended to serve this part of the County in which the subject site is located. Further, the County Utilities Department is currently negotiating a contract for the design and construction of both water and wastewater plants, each with one million gallons per day capacity, on Peacock Road south of the Fairgrounds. The plans for the water and wastewater plants includes the construction of water and wastewater lines to C-24 Canal Road. The requirements of Policy 1.1.2.1. are met by this application. AMENDMENT ANALYSIS: Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.2.2. provides as follows: “In accordance with Florida Statutes, proposed future land use map amendments to the County’s Comprehensive Plan, shall be based upon the following analyses: 1. An analysis of anticipated growth; 2. An analysis of the availability of facilities and services; 3. An analysis of the suitability of the plan amendment for its proposed use considering the character of the undeveloped land, soils, topography, natural resources, and historic resources on-site; 4. An analysis of the compatibility of adjacent land uses; and 5. An analysis of the need for job creation, capital improvement, and economic development that will strengthen and diversify the community’s economy; and 6. A consultation with the Florida Department of Transportation when it is determined that a proposed amendment has the potential to affect facilities on the Strategic Intermodal System. The subject site and the requested amendment are evaluated pursuant to each of the Page 66 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 10 of 23 factors in Policy 1.1.2.2. below. 1. An analysis of anticipated growth. Consistent with trends for the State of Florida, population has increased dramatically and steadily for several decades. In the 30 years between 1990 and 2020, the population of St. Lucie County more than doubled, from 150,171 to 329,226. Between 2010 and 2020, the County’s population increased 19%, from 277,789 to 329,226. By 2050, the population of St. Lucie County is projected to increase to 372,500 to 601,400 (Source: Projections of Florida Population by County, 2025–2050, with Estimates for 2021 – BEBR). The University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) believes its “medium” population projection is the most likely to provide accurate forecasts in most circumstances, which would place the St. Lucie County population at 486,900 in 2050. This represents an increase of 157,674 people or 48% from 2020. Table 1. Population Projections for St. Lucie County prepared by BEBR Projections 2030 % Δ from 2020 2040 % Δ from 2030 % Δ from 2020 2050 % Δ from 2040 % Δ from 2020 Low 362,900 10%373,200 3%13%372,500 -0.2%13% Medium 403,200 22%451,000 24%37%486,900 30%48% High 443,500 35%528,800 46%61%601,400 61%83% St. Lucie County has sought to balance this projected increase in residential population with an increase in local employment and diversification and strengthening of the economy. The proposed Future Land Use Map amendment will provide for industrial and commercial development that can create local employment opportunities. 2. The availability of facilities and services. The subject site is located within the Urban Services Boundary (USB) and therefore, it is reasonable to expect the full array of urban services to eventually be provided at the levels of service adopted by the County. Pursuant to Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.6.3, facilities for potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage and transportation facilities shall be in place and available to serve new development no later than the issuance of the certificate of occupancy or its functional equivalent such that there is no reduction in the Level of Service (LOS) for these facilities and services. The improvements needed to ensure Page 67 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 11 of 23 the adopted LOS are achieved and maintained must be accomplished prior to commencement of construction. However, the projected availability of essential public facilities and services is reviewed at the time Future Land Use Map amendments are under consideration as well. Figure 7. Urban Service Boundary Water and Wastewater The subject site is located within the St. Lucie County Utilities Service Area for water and wastewater. As discussed previously, the County’s FY 2023 Capital Improvement Plan allocates $3,000,000 in 2023 and $6,000,000 in FY 2024 for a Water Treatment Plant in the vicinity of the county Fairgrounds. Further, the County Utilities Department is currently negotiating a contract for the design and construction of a water plant and a wastewater treatment plant, each with one million gallons per day capacity, on Peacock Road south of the Fairgrounds. The plan for the water and wastewater plants includes the construction of water and wastewater lines to C-24 Canal Road. The Solaeris Community Development District, if the Oak Ridge Ranch FLUMA is approved and the development comes to fruition, can be expected to bring County utility lines south from the C-24 Canal and therefore closer to the Rainbow Groves site. If development is proposed on the Rainbow Groves site prior to availability of St. Lucie County utilities, it may be possible for the developer to connect to the City of Port St. Lucie’s utilities, through an inter-local agreement, until such time as County utilities are available. An existing City of Port St. Lucie water line serves the Liberty Tire Recycling, LLC (approximately 3,000 feet to the north of the subject property). Approximate Site Location = land area brought into the USB effective in September 2022 Page 68 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 12 of 23 Figure 8. Utility Service Areas Further, pursuant to Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.6.5., the County may allow urban development in an area in which the Five Year Schedule of Capital Improvements does not provide for water and wastewater services, so long as the “proposed development bears the entire fiscal impact of providing its own” utilities and “the developer agrees to connect to a regional water and wastewater system when such system becomes available to the site with none of the cost for connecting to the regional system being passed on to the regional system.” Solid Waste St. Lucie County currently has solid waste disposal facilities to satisfy the needs of the development potential for the subject site. Further, the County is actively assessing alternative disposal strategies and capacity renewal programs. Presently, the St. Lucie County Bailing & Recycling facility has over a one-million cubic yard capacity remaining, correlating to a 20-year service period, without accounting for waste reduction or capacity renewal programs that may be implemented. The County’s FY 23 Adopted Budget, Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), includes allocations from the Solid Waste Fund - Fund 401, for solid waste landfill expansions. Transportation The Applicant points to the existing rail spur that runs parallel to Glades Cut-off Road and an easement to allow direct rail access onto the subject site. This rail line connects to FEC’s inter-modal facility in the City of Fort Pierce and FEC’s 351 mile rail line between Miami and Jacksonville. From there, the national rail network can = City of Port St. Lucie Utility Service Area = St. Lucie County Utility Service Area Subject Site Page 69 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 13 of 23 be accessed. A graphic from the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway website showing the FEC system is provided as Figure 9. Additionally, SmartMoves 2045, the St. Lucie County Transportation Planning Organization’s Long-Range Transportation Plan, identifies the rail line as a Strategic Intermodal System Facility and Range Line Road as part of the Designated Freight Network. See Figure 10. The SmartMoves 2045 Cost Feasible Plan presents the anticipated roadway network in the vicinity of the subject site. See Figure 11. All of the road improvements shown west of I-95 and south of Glades Cut-off Road, in the City of Port St. Lucie, are identified as “Developer Funded.” There are no capacity increases programmed for Range Line Road in the adopted transportation plans, despite its status as a two- lane roadway with 18 lanes from six roadways expected to intersect it in the coming years. (Staff from the County, the City, the TPO, etc. are discussing this issue.) The Applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis which is included in the application materials for this agenda item. The County’s consultant has reviewed the Traffic Impact Analysis and requested additional revisions. Figure 9.

The suitability of the plan amendment for its proposed use considering the character of the undeveloped land, soils, topography, natural resources, and historic resources on-site. Soils The Soil Survey prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service classifies the soil as “farmland of unique importance” and identifies the presence of numerous soil types, all of which are poorly drained or very poorly drained. Those identified in Table 2 represent 97% of the site area. Table 2. Soil Survey for Subject Site Soil Type Approximate percentage of Site Area 32 Pineda sand, 0 to 2% slopes 51% 23 Malabar fine sand, 0 to 2% slopes 13% 25 Nettles and Oldsmar sands 15% 48 Wabasso sand, 0 to 2% slopes 6% 36 People Sand 4% 37 Riviera Sand, frequently ponded, 0 to 1% slopes 4% 38 Riviera fine sand 2% 26 Oldsmar Sand, depressional 2% 97% Environmental Assessment & Natural Resources The St. Lucie County Environmental Resources Department reviewed the requested amendment of the Future Land Use Map and stated as follows: “The subject site is currently utilized as an active citrus grove and previously was impacted by agricultural activities since the early 1990s according to available aerials. Numerous rows of citrus and associated agricultural ditches dominate the site. Native vegetation generally consists of cabbage palms and slash pines concentrated around the site’s perimeter, intermixed with a few oaks and non-native vegetation. No native upland habitat or wetlands have been confirmed onsite but will be reviewed further and confirmed during the site plan process. Any environmental impacts associated with development will be addressed through the site plan process and will adhere to the provisions outlined in the Land Development Code and Comprehensive Plan. ERD has no objection to the proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment.” Page 72 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 16 of 23 4. Compatibility with Adjacent Land Uses The future land use designation, existing zoning, and current land use on adjacent parcels is presented in Table 3. However, substantial change in land use is on the horizon in the vicinity of the subject site. In addition to the Developments of Regional Impact previously approved in the City of Port St. Lucie, including Tradition (up to 5,990 dwellings), Riverland/Kennedy (up to 11,700 dwellings), and Wilson Groves (up to 7,700 dwelling units), more than 13,000 additional dwelling units are possible pursuant to pending proposals in unincorporated St. Lucie County, as well as mining, commercial and industrial development. See Figure 12. Therefore, compatibility with both existing uses and proposed uses must be considered. Table 3. Future Land Use Designation, Zoning, & Existing Use of Adjacent Land Future Land Use Zoning Districts Existing Land Uses NORTH IND (Industrial)IH (Industrial, Heavy)Grazing EAST NCD (New Community District) Master Planned Unit Development Citrus groves / Active Development SOUTH AG-5 (Agricultural-5) AG-5 (Agricultural-5)Grazing WEST AG-5 (Agricultural-5) AG-5 (Agricultural-5)Grazing At the pre-application stage, the proposal was to change the future land use from AG-5 (Agricultural-5) to IND (Industrial) and change the zoning from AG-5 to IH (Industrial, Heavy). In response to comments received from the Development Review Committee, the application was revised to amend the Future Land Use Map from AG-5 to MXD and establish light industrial, light industrial/commercial, and heavy industrial specific use activity areas. See Figure 13. The proposed Heavy Industrial Specific Use Area is located in the center of the site whereas the Light Industrial Specific Use Area transitions from the AG-5 land uses on the south and west to the proposed Heavy Industrial use area. The Light Industrial/Commercial Specific Use Area can buffer Range Line Road and the planned residential development east of Range Line Road in the City of Port St. Lucie. Additionally, the Specific Use Activity Plan calls for a 50-foot landscape buffer along the southern boundary and most of the eastern boundary to further buffer adjacent AG-5 land uses.

Specific Use Activity Plan [Remainder of page is blank.] Page 75 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 19 of 23 The proposed MXD Future Land Use designation and Specific Use Activity Areas can be compatible with both existing and proposed future land uses. The MXD Future Land Use designation allows the identification of specific uses and intensity of development tailored to the site to ensure compatibility. As previously stated, the MXD Future Land Use designation requires development to take place pursuant to the Planned Unit Development (PUD), Planned Non-Residential Development (PNRD) or Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) Zoning Districts. Those zoning districts provide the additional opportunity to ensure a proper transition is made between the light industrial, commercial and heavy industrial land uses and the existing agricultural land uses and the planned residential and mixed land uses, that appropriate physical separation and landscaping buffering is delivered and maintained, and the planned street network safely, comfortably, and efficiently accommodates residential traffic, employee commuters, and trucks serving the industrial land uses. Staff and the Applicant agree that careful planning is required to ensure industrial development remains compatible with both existing uses and future development in the vicinity. What that ‘careful planning’ entails and at what stage of review it must be assured is a detail upon which staff and the Applicants offer divergent proposals for the Planning and Zoning Commission’s consideration. The Applicant asserts that the proposed Specific Use Activity Areas provide compatibility between the surrounding land uses, and the Specific Use Activity Areas can be further assured through the future re-zoning to PNRD (Planned Nonresidential Development) Zoning District which requires the review and approval of a Preliminary Development Plan. Staff however recommends the adoption of Specific Use Area Policies regarding certain uses, along with the Specific Use Activity Areas and the MXD Future Land Use designation. As provided in relevant part in Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.1.2. H., the intent of the MXD designation is to “identify those areas where innovative land use concepts are encouraged. Application of this district should be with prudence, and should be only to those areas where traditional land use classifications do not afford the desired flexibility and community input in land use planning necessary to address local concerns . . . [and] . . . any change in zoning shall be to the Planned Unit Development (PUD), Planned Non-Residential Development (PNRD) or Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD).” The area in the vicinity of the subject site is the subject of numerous requests to amend the Future Land Use Map and to amend the Zoning Atlas. Figure 13 identifies these other proposals. To the extent they move forward, there is an opportunity to plan for compatibility. Special conditions are present in the vicinity of the subject site including these: Page 76 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 20 of 23 ➢the existing IH Zoning (Industrial, Heavy) zoning on 345 +/- acres abutting the subject property to the north, ➢the existing rail spur adjacent to the IH zoning, representing a distinctive potential economic development niche, ➢the site’s location along a designated freight network, ➢the nearby McCarty Ranch Preserve and its wetland and upland natural resources, ➢existing agricultural future land use designations to the west and the south, and ➢Numerous development applications which will change the existing character of the area from agricultural to urban and the prior approval of several Developments of Regional Impact in nearby Port St. Lucie. Being proximate to approved plans for substantial residential development presents compatibility concerns with certain permitted uses in the IH Zoning District. Staff requested the Applicants propose Specific Use Area policies that identify those permitted or conditional uses in the IH (Industrial, Heavy) Zoning District that would be precluded from their site, where outdoor storage would be permitted or disallowed, and greater detail regarding minimum buffering and setbacks. In response, the Applicants have suggested that such details would be more appropriately addressed at time of application for the PNRD (Planned Nonresidential Development) Zoning District. Staff recommends the following Specific Use Area Policies be adopted along with the FLUMA and establishment of the Rainbow Groves Mixed Use Specific Use Activity Area: “The following policies shall govern in the Rainbow Groves Mixed Use Specific Use Activity Plan: 1. All development within the Rainbow Groves Specific Use Area Plan shall occur through the Planned Nonresidential Development Plan (PNRD) process. 2.Light Industrial/Commercial Specific Use Area. This area may provide light industrial, warehouse and commercial land uses including flex-space buildings, which shall provide a vegetated buffer zone to properly buffer the adjacent roadway and residential use(s). Any outdoor storage (non-retail display) shall be behind primary structures, and adequately separated from the adjacent roadway and residential use(s). 3.Light Industrial Specific Use Area. This area may provide light industrial and warehouse land uses including flex-space buildings, which shall serve as a transition to adjacent uses. A permanent and vegetated buffer zone shall be provided between the Light Industrial Specific Use Area and adjoining residential or agricultural land. The vegetated buffer zone shall be no less than 50 feet, whereas certain uses may require a wider vegetated buffer. Page 77 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 21 of 23 4.Heavy Industrial Specific Use Area. This area is restricted in use to the equivalent of the IND Land Use designation as described in the Future Land Use Element. Development of this area shall include appropriate open space and buffers adjacent to agricultural, residential, and public uses and environmental conditions. The area is intended to provide for light to heavy manufacturing, targeted industries, and other activities that are strategically designed, oriented, buffered and controlled to ensure compatibility with and appropriate transition to surrounding uses. No off-site effects from undesirable noise, vibration, odor, dust, or other offensive effects shall be permitted. A permanent and vegetated buffer zone shall be provided between the Heavy Industrial Specific Use Area and nearby residential or agricultural land. The vegetated buffer zone shall be no less than 50 feet, whereas certain uses may require a wider vegetated buffer. The following uses shall not be permitted in the Heavy Industrial Specific Use Area: a. Manufacturing (Inside or Outside) i. Paper products (SIC Codes 2611, 2622, 2631) ii. Chemicals (any chemical identified on the OSHA List of Highly Hazardous Chemicals, Toxics and Reactives) iii. Petroleum refining and related products (SIC Major Group 29) iv. Ammunition and ordnance (SIC Code 348) b. Manufacturing (Outside) i. Concrete products (SIC Codes 324, 327) ii. Primary metal industries (SIC Major Group 33) c. Natural or manufactured gas storage and distribution points d. Outdoor scrap, waste and land clearing and yard trash recycling operations e. Outdoor stockyards (storage services) f. Wholesale trade - Nondurable goods i. Petroleum (SIC Code 517) v. Hazardous Chemicals (any chemical identified on the OSHA List of Highly Hazardous Chemicals, Toxics and Reactives) 5. The need for job creation, capital improvement, and economic development that will strengthen and diversify the community’s economy. The proposed amendment of the Future Land Use Map provides capacity to support employment opportunities within a short distance of thousands of proposed dwelling units, thereby improving the quality of life for the residents of those dwellings by reducing the time required to commute to and from work. The County can benefit Page 78 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 22 of 23 by reducing vehicle miles travelled and traffic congestion. According to the American Community Survey’s 2022 one-year estimates, median earnings for full-time, year-round workers, 16 years and older, with earnings, in Florida is $46,880; whereas in St. Lucie County it is $41,197, a difference of 13.7%. The difference between mean earnings between workers 16 years and older in the state and in the county is even greater—29.4%. The County’s encouragement of industrial development is founded on the effort to expand and diversify the County economy to increase wages and the tax base. Some evidence is available to support the conclusion that the County’s economic development strategy focusing on targeted industries is working. Full-time, year- round workers, with earnings, 25 years of age or older, with a high school degree or less than a high school degree, on average, do better in St. Lucie County than in the State overall. Industrial sector jobs can be a sector where limited formal education is not an obstacle to a living wage. See Table 4. Table 4. Annual Earnings of Workers in the State and the County State of Florida Margin of Error St. Lucie County Margin of Error % Difference between State & County Median Earnings $46,880 +/- 256 $41,197 +/-1,834 13.7% Mean Earnings $66,304 +/- 586 $51,226 +/- 3,109 29.4% Median Earnings, workers 25 yrs. or older, with < HS degree or GED $25,755 +/- 494 $28,946 +/- 4,821 12.4% (NOTE: Median means one-half earn more and one-half earn less. The Mean is the average which can be skewed higher by a few very high earners.) 6. Consultation with the Florida Department of Transportation when the proposed amendment may affect facilities on the Strategic Intermodal System St. Lucie County Planning and Engineering staff regularly consult with the Florida Department of Transportation regarding development projects that directly or indirectly impact the Strategic Intermodal System and other state-owned roadways. Conclusion Based on the evaluation of the six factors in Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.1.2., as summarized above, staff concludes that this proposed amendment of the Future Land Use Map, as modified by the inclusion of the Special Use Activity Area Policies proposed by Staff, is consistent with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan and advances the best interests of the County and its residents and businesses. PUBLIC NOTICE Page 79 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 23 of 23 The required public notice of this proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment occurred. Notice of the public hearing was published in the St. Lucie News Tribune on Friday, May 5, 2023. Additional courtesy notice occurred in the form of mailed notice to all owners of real property within 500 feet of the subject site and erection of a sign on the property, visible from Range Line Road.

Could not be feasibly located on non-agricultural land. Objective 1.1.5 “Urban Sprawl. Consider changes to the future land use plan based upon smart growth, energy- efficient land use patterns and discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl.” Objective 1.1.6. “Urban Service Area Boundary. In coordination with the other elements of this plan, future development within the Urban Service Area shall be directed to areas where urban and community services/facilities can be provided in the most efficient and compact manner so as to discourage the proliferation of urban sprawl.” Policy 1.1.6.5 - Within the Urban Service Area and special area plans adopted within the Towns, Villages and Countryside Element, where Page 86 of 268 File No.: FLUMA-2209-000016 Page 2 of 4 regional water and wastewater utility service is not currently available or planned to be made available within the Five Year Schedule of Capital Improvements, the County shall not allow for non-residential development, or residential development in excess of two (2) dwelling units per acre unless the following factors are met: a) The proposed development bears the entire fiscal impact of providing its own on-site water and wastewater services; and, b) The developer agrees to connect to a regional water and wastewater system when such system becomes available to the site with none of the cost for connecting to the regional system being passed on to the regional system. c) At the election of the duty authorized water/wastewater utility in St. Lucie County in whose service territory the proposed development is located, providing on-site water and wastewater service facilities for ownership and operation of the utility service.

LUCIE COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTING AS THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY place for more than 400,000 active duty ser- vice members, veterans and their families. James Fuentes has said he reconnected in 2021 with his father, after being long estranged, and said his dad was “a totally different person.” James Fuentes’ broth- er, John, has said he didn’t get the chance, noting it had been a num- ber of years since he spoke with his dad. “For me, it’s kind of difficult to try to process everything that has tran- spired,” John Fuentes, 51, said. During the service at Arlington, U.S. Army Chaplain Capt. Philip Agber said Fuentes was not only a soldier, but a loving father and grand- father. “He was a loving son of his parents; he was a lov- ing brother to his siblings,” Agber said. “Jorge was a man of deep faith, deep conviction. Jorge will always say what he means, and be- lieve what he says.” The Fuentes siblings have said their father had a second wife and three additional children. James Fuentes said his father and the second wife were estranged and in the process of divorc- ing. James Fuentes said they extended an invita- tion for anyone who could communicate with the wife and children from the second marriage to attend the funeral at Ar- lington. He said there was no communication with the family after his father’s death. “They were not a part of anything,” James Fu- entes said. “They didn’t reach out to us, nothing.” John Fuentes said he was puzzled about why the wife and other chil- dren haven’t communi- cated. “I wrote a letter and reached out to them and sent it via certified mail and all of it came back,” John Fuentes said. John Fuentes said he thinks information about his father’s homicide case is out there. “I just feel as if there is someone that knows something,” he said. “There had to have been someone walking by, jog- ging by, driving by when all this happened.” Those with informa- tion are asked to contact Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 800-273- TIPS or Detective Dania Francois-Brown at 772- 979-1471 or dfran- cois@fppd.org Will Greenlee is a breaking news reporter for TCPalm.

This location has closed after 33 wonderful years of serving BBQ slathered in Southern hospitality. Thank you for your support over the years! We look forward to servin’ you at another Sonny’s BBQ.” The Vero Beach res- taurant, which opened in 2002, has no plans to close, General Manager Deana Hofmann said. It’s part of a corporate group that owns seven locations from Vero Beach to Titusville, whereas the Stuart and Fort Pierce locations were privately owned, she said. The Stuart location at 1961 S.E. Federal Highway near Monterey Road closed March 31. It opened in 1983, Jackson said. “In the past year, we have both opened and closed Sonny’s loca- tions,” Jackson said. “We’re committed to our guests and look forward to refreshing our existing restaurants and opening new locations in the fu- ture.” Sonny’s BBQ was founded by Floyd “Son- ny” Tillman in Gainesville in 1968, and has grown to over 100 locations in sev- en states: Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, Mis- sissippi and Louisiana.

The responses will be in bold text following the comments for each section. • REVISED Traffic Analysis, dated 04/20/2023, signed & sealed, prepared by Giangrande Engineering • REVISED initial application & exhibits for MXD (not IND as originally submitted) • REVISED MXD future land use exhibit, prepared by McCarty & Associates. Building Official v.1 - PROCESSED Engineering (PW/Water Quality) v.1 - APPROVED Recommendation(s) 1. A traffic analysis will be required at the time of site plan application. Response: Acknowledged. 2. Access and site requirements will be reviewed at the time of Site Plan application. Response: Acknowledged. ERD Review v.2 - APPROVED 15 Day Planning Item Review Correction: General - Irene Szedlmayer (3/13/23) - Resolved Page 110 of 268 Page 2 of 7 Comments: As noted in the application materials, Comp Plan Policy 1.1.5.6., recognizes the need to "create a balance of land uses based upon demands of the residential population for the nonresidential needs of an area.” Planning staff agree that light industrial development can help fulfil this policy by diversifying land uses in the area, meeting the future needs of the residents of the thousands of dwellings proposed for the vicinity, and providing a place for job creation. Planning Staff are not persuaded that IND FLU and Heavy Industrial zoning is appropriate for this site. The subject parcel is contiguous with land with the Industrial future land use and IH zoning to the north, but not compatible with surrounding parcels, current development patterns in the area (still somewhat rural and pastoral; it has been outside the USB since 1990), or what is planned and approved for the vicinity. Response: We have revised our submittal documents and our request from Industrial to MXD as suggested by Staff after our initial submittal. We recommend that the property owner consider the MXD future land use designation and PNRD zoning. The approved Master Plan for Western Grove provides for residential development on the east side of Range Line from Crosstown Parkway to Discovery Way. Being so proximate to approved plans for residential development presents significant compatibility concerns with permitted uses in IH zoning district, despite the plausible railroad connection. Planning will have to skilled and careful to provide industrial development that is compatible with the adopted development plans for the vicinity. The MXD future land use designation provides for identification of specific uses and intensity of development that can be tailored to the site to ensure compatibility with nearby land uses. Corrective Action: Submit a revised application as appropriate. Response: Please see included REVISED full land use amendment application package. Correction: General - Irene Szedlmayer (3/13/23) - Resolved Comments: The timing of the proposed development and the availability of public facilities to serve that development is key. The road improvements identified in the application materials are all in the future and are planned primarily to meet the needs of proposed development. Corrective Action: None at this time. Response: Acknowledged. Correction: General - Irene Szedlmayer (4/12/23) - Not Resolved Comments: Careful planning is required to ensure industrial development is compatible with the adopted development plans for the vicinity. The MXD future land use designation provides for identification of specific uses and intensity of development that can be tailored to the site to ensure compatibility with nearby land uses. Response: We have revised our submittal documents and our request from Industrial to MXD as suggested by Staff after our initial submittal. The proposed Specific Use Area Plan is provided only as an illustration within your response letter. Please prepare a stand-alone document. Please see Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.8.4. for guidance regarding the desired contents of a Specific Use Area Plan. Response: Please see enclosed stand-alone document of our proposed MXD exhibit as requested. Attached to this DRC Rpt. is a list of the Permitted and Conditional Uses for the Heavy Industry and the Light Industry Zoning District. Staff recommends that more detail be provided in the Specific Use Area Plan regarding the uses that are anticipated and what uses are prohibited. Response: The applicant will address specific use details such as this during the PNRD application. It is not appropriate at this point in time. Page 111 of 268 Page 3 of 7 Attention should be provided to where outdoor storage may be allowed and where it will be prohibited. The areas where outdoor storage will be allowed can be indicated on the site area plan graphically and/or described verbally. For example, outdoor storage of some finished products for retail may be acceptable whereas open storage of aggregates or landscaping materials that can create dust. Response: The applicant will address specific details such as this during the PNRD application. It is not appropriate at this point in time. Please extend the Light Industrial/Commercial Specific Use Area along the entire Range Line Road frontage. Response: As per your request, please see attached MXD exhibit that shows we have extended the Light Industrial/Commercial specific use area along the entire Range Line Road Frontage While the applications to re-zone and the Preliminary Development Plans will provide greater detail, additional attention is needed on the Specific Use Area Plan regarding buffering and setbacks from adjacent land uses. Response: The applicant will address specific details such as this during the PNRD application. It is not appropriate at this point in time. Staff suggests the following Specific Use Area Policies: All development within the Rainbow Groves Specific Use Area Plan shall occur through the Planned Nonresidential Development Plan (PNRD) process. Response: Acknowledged. The applicant is committed to submitting a PNRD which will allow for the creation of safeguards and specific operational or use requirements. Commercial/Light Industrial Specific Use Area: This area may provide commercial, light industrial and warehouse land uses including flex-space buildings, which shall provide a vegetated buffer zone to property buffer the adjacent roadway and residential use(s). Response: Acknowledged. The buffers for the project along Range Line Road will be determined at the time of PNRD application. In the future, Range Line Road will be a significant north/south corridor similar to US Hwy 1 or Okeechobee Road. It is appropriate for commercial and light industrial uses to be visually seen and have exposure when fronting such a corridor. Light Industrial Specific Use Area: This area may provide light industrial and warehouse land uses including flex-space buildings, which shall serve as a transition to adjacent uses. A permanent and vegetated buffer zone shall be provided between the Light Industrial Specific Use Area and adjoining residential or agricultural land. The vegetated buffer zone shall be no less than 50 feet. Certain uses may require a wider vegetated buffer. Response: The applicant will address specific details such as this during the PNRD application. It is not appropriate at this point in time. Heavy Industrial Specific Use Area: This area is restricted in use to the equivalent of the IND Land Use designation as described in the Future Land Use Element. Development of this area shall include appropriate open space and buffers adjacent to agricultural, residential, and public uses and environmental conditions. The area is intended to provide for heavy manufacturing, targeted industries, and other activities that are strategically designed, oriented, buffered and controlled to ensure compatibility with and appropriate transition to surroundings. No off-site effects from undesirable noise, vibration, odor, dust, or other offensive effects shall be permitted. A permanent and vegetated buffer zone shall be provided between the Heavy Industrial Specific Use Area and adjoining residential or Page 112 of 268 Page 4 of 7 agricultural land. The vegetated buffer zone shall be no less than 50 feet and certain uses may require a wider vegetated buffer. Response: Acknowledged. The buffers for the project along Range Line Road will be determined at the time of PNRD application. In the future, Range Line Road will be a significant north/south corridor similar to US Hwy 1 or Okeechobee Road. It is appropriate for commercial and light industrial uses to be visually seen and have exposure when fronting such a corridor. The following uses shall not be permitted in the Heavy Industrial Specific Use Area: Manufacturing (Inside or Outside) - Paper and allied products - Chemicals and allied products - Petroleum refining and related products - Ammunition and ordinance Manufacturing (Outside) - Concrete products - Primary metal industries Natural or manufactured gas storage and distribution points Outdoor scrap, waste and land clearing and yard trash recycling operations Warehousing and storage services – outdoor stockyards Wholesale trade - Nondurable goods: -Petroleum and petroleum products Response: The uses listed above are conditional uses that would be evaluated on a case by case basis. A conditional use would ultimately be approved or denied by the Board of County Commissioners. The uses shall be permitted within the Rainbow Groves MXD and shall be permitted as per a conditional use. Attached to this DRC Report are examples of other Specific Use Area Plans that either been submitted to the County or approved by the County. Response: We received the examples. Thank you. Coordination will be required with the City of Port St. Lucie and the St. Lucie County TPO regarding transportation planning in this area. Response: Acknowledged. We will coordinate with the appropriate agencies during the PNRD process. Corrective Action: Please provide a more detailed Specific Use Area Plan, as a stand-alone document, to accompany the application. Response: Please see enclosed stand-alone document of our proposed MXD exhibit as requested. When the review of the Transportation Impact Report is available from Kimley Horn, it will be provided to you. Response: We received the comments from Kimley Horn regarding the Traffic Report and have responded accordingly below. Corrective Action: Please provide a more detailed Specific Use Area Plan, as a stand-alone document, to accompany the application. Response: We have enclosed a revised MXD stand alone exhibit in this resubmittal. Correction: General - Irene Szedlmayer (4/12/23) - Not Resolved Comments: Several documents are inaccurate. Page 113 of 268 Page 5 of 7 Supplement 4 still states that the application is to change the Future Land Use to Industrial. Please revise to explain the request to change the Future land Use designation to MXD. The Future Land Use Map proposed states that the requested Future Land Use is Industrial. Please revise. Response: We have enclosed a revised MXD stand alone exhibit in this resubmittal. The colors used in the legend on the “Surrounding Development Map” do not match the colors on the map. Please revise. Response: This exhibit has been removed from the application submittal. The documents entitled USB – existing, USB – proposed and slc proposed usb expansion area are out of date. If you wish them to be considered as part of your application, please update them for accuracy. Response: Please see enclosed the revised USB service area map exhibit. All other USB exhibits have been removed from our submittal documents. Several stand alone documents appear to be irrelevant to the application. Response: We have removed the documents that are not specifically required as per the application check list. The documents are typically for in-house purposes and should not have been included with the submittal. Supplement 3 states that the request is to re-zone to Industrial, Heavy. With the MXD Future Land Use designation, the re-zoning must be to PNRD (Planned Non-residential development) or PMUD (Planned Mixed-Use Development). Based on your description of the development intent, PNRD is the appropriate Zoning District. There is not application to re-zone submitted. Supplement 3 is not needed. Corrective Action: Revise documents as appropriate. Response: All references to the original Industrial Heavy request have been revised to MXD and any references to original rezoning have been changed to PNRD. We are NOT submitting a concurrent rezoning application at this time. A preliminary PNRD rezoning application will be provided under separate cover upon approval and adoption of the land use amendment. Therefore, Supplement 3 is NOT included in our resubmittal documents at this point in time. Planning (External) v.2 21 Day Planning External Item Review Correction: General - Irene Szedlmayer (3/13/23) - Not Resolved Comments: The property is located within the St. Lucie County Utility Service Area, but St. Lucie County has no utilities in the area at the present time. It should be expected that if connection is made to City of Port St. Lucie Utilities, the Development Order will provide that at such time that SLC Utilities has infrastructure available, the connection to Port St. Lucie will be severed and connection made to SLC Utilities. Information provided by Port St. Lucie Utilities is that there is a fiber optic conduit and a water main coming from the east that serves PID 420111300010106 and 420111300010209 (Property owned by Liberty Tire Recycling, LLC) (approximately 3,000 feet to the north of the subject property) Corrective Action: UTILITIES Response: Acknowledged. Property Acquisitions Review v.2 - APPROVED Surveyor v.2 - APPROVED Page 114 of 268 Page 6 of 7 Kimley-Horn has reviewed the Land Use Amendment (dated August 2022) prepared by Giangrande Engineering and Planning related to the above-mentioned project.

Response: Conceptual site plan exhibit prepared by McCarty and Associates is included in the enclosed revised TIA for reference. 2. Please revise the project distribution to reflect future roadway improvements in the area based upon the following: a. City of Port St Lucie Capital Improvements Program b. St Lucie TPO Transportation Improvement Program c. FDOT District 4 Five-Year Work Program d. Private Developer Improvements within the St. Lucie TPO Long Range Transportation Plan Response: Acknowledged. The project distribution has been revised to take into account the State, County, City and private developers transportation programs. 3. Please provide historical growth rate calculations which were used within the roadway segment analysis. If the calculated historical growth rate is less than 1.0%, please use a minimum of 1.0% growth rate within the study area. Response: Acknowledged. The historical growth rate has been updated as requested. 4. Please revise the proposed trip generation (Table 1) to reflect the correct intensity for the project. Note:245.27/2 acres=122.635 acres, 122.635 acres*43,560 sqft/acre=5,341,980.6 sqft. Response: Acknowledged. The intensity of the proposed project has been updated. 5. Please verify that the proposed trip generation land use code (LUC) utilized within the Table 1 is the most intense land use allowed under the proposed future land use. Response: Acknowledged. The most intense land us has been applied to the revision. 6. Please include both a AM and PM peak hour buildout roadway segment analysis. Response: Acknowledged. The AM and PM peak hour are included in the revision. 7. Please update the roadway segment build-out calculation with the following revisions: a. Include the 2 roadway segments of Range Line Road between Becker Road to Glade Cut- Off Road. b.

The responses will be in bold text following the comments for each section. • Traffic Analysis, dated 08/15/2022, signed & sealed, prepared by Giangrande Engineering & Planning • Revised boundary survey, dated 02/23/2023, signed & sealed, prepared by EDC. • Closure Report, dated 02/23/2023, prepared by EDC • MXD future land use with sub area policy exhibit, prepared by McCarty & Associates. Engineering (PW/Water Quality) Recommendation(s) 1. A traffic analysis will be required at the time of site plan application. Response: Traffic Analysis was originally submitted back in August 2023, but has been included again in this resubmittal for your review. 2. Access and site requirements will be reviewed at the time of Site Plan application. Response: Acknowledged. ERD 21 Day Review Corrective Action: 1) The proposal may conflict with CP 1.1.13.2., which specifies that new Heavy Industrial (IH) property shall not be located within 1,000 feet of a Category I Wetland as defined by CP 6.1.14.1. Available aerials and the National Wetlands Inventory suggest that the subject property lies within 700 feet of Page 117 of 268 Page 2 of 9 a wetland measuring approximately 40-acres located on the adjacent property to the west. Since these are estimates, the limits and size of the wetland shall only be confirmed by a non-binding wetland jurisdictional determination from the appropriate agency(s). Response: As per discussion with ERD staff, the applicant has provided an aerial exhibit to scale showing the limits of the wetlands with the 500 ft. radius and the 1,000 ft radius to demonstrate the distances of the proposed MXD uses. As you can see within this map, we have located the heavy industrial area outside of the 1,000 ft radius and the light industrial areas are well over 500 ft. The wetlands are not on our property so we cannot request a jurisdictional determination on someone else’s property. However, the heavy industrial and light industrial uses proposed within the Rainbow Groves MXD exhibit demonstrate compliance with this comprehensive plan policy. 2) CP 1.1.13.2 and 1.1.13.3 have been outlined below for ease of reference and guidance in considering Industrial zoning suitability for the subject property: a) Per CP Policy 1.1.13.2, in addition to any other general standard for change in zoning as may be described in the County's Land Development Code, the following specific standards shall be Page 118 of 268 Page 3 of 9 utilized for determining the suitability of new property(s) for designation as Heavy Industrial (IH) under the County's Land Development Code: i. Heavy Industrial property should have available to it central water services necessary for both domestic and fire protection purposes. Response: The USB (Urban Services Boundary) has been extended and the availability of central water services is available. The City of PSL will provide the services to the property and capacity is available. Through our correspondence with PSL Utilities, they have expressed a willingness to provide utility services with the County’s approval and authorization to provide said services. ii. New Heavy Industrial property shall not be located within 1,000 feet of any Aquatic Preserve, other specially designated aquatic habitat or a Category I Wetlands as described in the Conservation Element of this Plan. Response: As you can see within this map, we have located the heavy industrial area outside of the 1,000 ft area from adjacent wetland as requested. Page 119 of 268 Page 4 of 9 iii. New Heavy Industrial property should not be located within the 100-year flood plain. Response: Acknowledged. Project is not located within the 100-year flood plain. iv. Heavy Industrial property should have immediate access to the regional transportation network without the need to travel through residential areas. Response: Property is adjacent to Range Line Road and therefore has direct access to regional transportation networks without the need to travel through a residential area. In addition, there is an existing rail spur easement providing connectivity to the FEC which runs 351 miles from Jacksonville to Miami and services the ports in between. v. New Heavy Industrial property should not be located within any cone of influence, as identified under the County's well-field protection program. Response: Acknowledged. This project is not located within any cone of influence under the County’s well-field protection program. vi. Heavy Industrial development shall not contribute to the degradation of surficial water quality. Response: Acknowledged. b) Per CP Policy 1.1.13.3 - In addition to any other general standard for change in zoning as may be described in the County's Land Development Code, the following specific standards shall be utilized for determining the suitability of new property(s) for designation as Light Industrial (IL) under the County's Land Development Code: i. Light Industrial property should have available to it central water services necessary for both domestic and fire protection purposes. Response: The USB (Urban Services Boundary) has been extended and the availability of central water services is available. The City of PSL will provide the services to the property and capacity is available. Through our correspondence with PSL Utilities, they have expressed a willingness to provide utility services with the County’s approval and authorization to provide said services. ii. New Light Industrial property should not be located within 500 feet of any Aquatic Preserve or other specially designated aquatic habitat, or a Category I Wetlands as described the Conservation Element of this Plan. Page 120 of 268 Page 5 of 9 Response: As you can see from this map, we have located the light industrial development area outside of the 500’ radius of the adjacent wetland as requested. iii. New Light Industrial areas should have immediate access to the regional transportation network. Response: Property is adjacent to Range Line Road and therefore has direct access to regional transportation networks without the need to travel through a residential area. In addition, there is an existing rail spur easement, providing connectivity to the FEC which runs 351 miles from Jacksonville to Miami and services all the ports in between. iv. Light Industrial development shall not contribute to the degradation of surficial water quality. Response: Acknowledged. Environmental Resources Department (ERD) ERD is in receipt of the September 23rd, 2022, date-stamped submittals from Planning and Development Services. The applicant is requesting approval of a Future Land Use Map Amendment (FLUMA) to change the future land use zoning of three (3) parcels from Agricultural-5 (AG-5) to Industrial (IND). A Page 121 of 268 Page 6 of 9 rezoning application is also being proposed concurrently to change the zoning from AG-5 to Industrial Heavy (IH) to allow for an innovative industrial site. The project is located at 10301 Range Line Rd in unincorporated Saint Lucie County and consists of three (3) parcels (Parcel IDs 4212-111-0001-000-1, 4212-113-0001-000-7, 4212-123-0001-000-8), one of which contains a 1,260 sq. ft. residence. All three (3) parcels are zoned Agricultural-5 (AG-5) and collectively measure approximately 245.27 acres. Findings: The subject site is currently utilized as an active citrus grove and previously was impacted by agricultural activities since the early 1990s according to available aerials. Numerous rows of citrus and associated agricultural ditches dominate the site. Native vegetation generally consists of cabbage palms and slash pines concentrated around the site’s perimeter, intermixed with a few oaks and non-native vegetation. No native upland habitat or wetlands have been confirmed onsite but will be reviewed further and confirmed during the site plan process. Any environmental impacts associated with development will be addressed through the site plan process and will adhere to the provisions outlined in the Land Development Code and Comprehensive Plan. Recommendation: ERD has no objection to the proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment request. Response: Acknowledged. 15 Day Planning Item Review Comments: The application is incomplete because no Traffic Impact Analysis was submitted, and the zoning application fee was not submitted. Corrective Action: Submit application fee for the requested amendment of the zoning atlas and submit the Traffic Impact Analysis. Response: Please see enclosed Traffic Analysis. This was included in our original submittal, but we are enclosing it again for your review. The rezoning application and fee have been paid to St. Lucie County as requested however that rezoning application we request be put on hold. We will resubmit a PNRD application upon approval of the MXD future land use (with sub area policies). Comments: As noted in the application materials, Comp Plan Policy 1.1.5.6., recognizes the need to "create a balance of land uses based upon demands of the residential population for the nonresidential needs of an area.” Planning staff agree that light industrial development can help fulfil this policy by diversifying land uses in the area, meeting the future needs of the residents of the thousands of dwellings proposed for the vicinity, and providing a place for job creation. Planning Staff are not persuaded that IND FLU and Heavy Industrial zoning is appropriate for this site. The subject parcel is contiguous with land with the Industrial future land use and IH zoning to the north, but not compatible with surrounding parcels, current development patterns in the area (still somewhat rural and pastoral; it has been outside the USB since 1990), or what is planned and approved for the vicinity. Response: We have agreed to the staff’s suggestion that we request an MXD future land use designation (with sub area policies outlining the light, heavy industrial and commercial uses). Therefore, our FLU Amendment application will be revised to MXD and upon approval of that MXD (with sub area policies) future land use designation an application for PNRD (Planned Non Residential Development) will be submitted. We recommend that the property owner consider the MXD future land use designation and PNRD zoning. Page 122 of 268 Page 7 of 9 Response: We agree with the staff’s suggestion that we request an MXD future land use designation (with sub area policies outlining the light, heavy industrial and commercial uses). This map illustrates a light industrial tier along the western and southern boundary. The proposed light industrial provides a transition to the adjacent agriculture lands. The heavy industrial use areas have been centralized to the property and abuts the heavy industrial zoned property to the north. Rainbow Groves MXD proposes light industrial/ general commercial use area along Range Line Rd which serves as a liner. Range Line Road is a 150 ft ROW and will eventually be improved to a four-lane road that will extend north to Okeechobee Rd. The general commercial and light industrial uses are appropriate on such of an arterial corridor. On the east side of Range Line Rd, Mattamy has re- routed the Peacock Canal which runs south along Range Line Rd and it is 52 ft. wide. On the east side of the Peacock Canal is a 44-50 ft wide buffer with an 8 ft berm and landscaping. The proposed general commercial and light industrial liner, fronting Range Line Road are appropriate and compatible with the roadway type and the development proposed on the east side of Range Line Rd. The above MXD exhibit has also been attached to our resubmittal documents as an exhibit to Page 123 of 268 Page 8 of 9 accompany the MXD future land use designation as a sub area policy. The approved Master Plan for Western Grove provides for residential development on the east side of Range Line from Crosstown Parkway to Discovery Way. Being so proximate to approved plans for residential development presents significant compatibility concerns with permitted uses in IH zoning district, despite the plausible railroad connection. Planning will have to be skilled and careful to provide industrial development that is compatible with the adopted development plans for the vicinity. The MXD future land use designation provides for identification of specific uses and intensity of development that can be tailored to the site to ensure compatibility with nearby land uses. Corrective Action: Submit a revised application as appropriate. Response: We agree with the staff’s suggestion that we request an MXD future land use designation (with sub area policies outlining the light & heavy industrial areas). This map illustrates areas of light and heavy industrial development within the MXD future land use for your review. This has also been attached to our resubmittal documents as an exhibit to be attached to the MXD future land use designation as sub area policy. Comments: The timing of the proposed development and the availability of public facilities to serve that development is key. The road improvements identified in the application materials are all in the future and are planned primarily to meet the needs of the proposed development. Corrective Action: None at this time. Response: Acknowledged. Comments: The property is located within the St. Lucie County Utility Service Area, but St. Lucie County has no utilities in the area at the present time. It should be expected that if connection is made to City of Port St. Lucie Utilities, the Development Order will provide that at such time that SLC Utilities has infrastructure available, the connection to Port St. Lucie will be severed, and connection made to SLC Utilities. Response: Acknowledged. Information provided by Port St. Lucie Utilities is that there is a fiber optic conduit and a water main coming from the east that serves PID 420111300010106 and 420111300010209 (Property owned by Liberty Tire Recycling, LLC) (approximately 3,000 feet to the north of the subject property) Response: Acknowledges. The St. Lucie County Fire District Has no comments regarding this application as there is no site plan at this time. Response: Acknowledged. Surveyor Review Comments: 1. Reference and file Certified Corner Records for any Section or Quarter Section corners used in the Survey, if they have already been filed, then provide the recording information.

Pierce, Florida 34982 Re: Rainbow Groves Application for Land Use Map Amendment (FLUMA-______) Application for a Zoning Change (RZ-_________) To Whom This May Concern, On behalf of our client, Mr. Daniel T. McCarty IV, enclosed please find this application to amend the Future Land Use designation to Industrial (IND) and Zoning to Industrial, Heavy (IH) affecting (3) continuous properties in south-central St. Lucie County. The property is located on the west of the Range Line Road approximately one (1) mile south of the Glades Cut-Off / Range Line Road intersection. Immediately to the east is the Port St. Lucie city limits and the future extension of SW Traditions Blvd. which will connect to the middle of the project. The current Future Land Use and Zoning is Agricultural-5 (AG-5), permitting a maximum residential density of 1 unit per 5 acres with a maximum building coverage of 10%. Future Land Uses of adjacent parcels are as follows: FLU Zoning North: Industrial (IND) Industrial, Heavy (IH) West: Agricultural-5 (AG-5) Agricultural-5 (AG-5) South: Agricultural-5 (AG-5) Agricultural-5 (AG-5) PSL - East: New Community Dev. (NCD) Master Planned Unit Dev. (MPUD) The property is located approximately 1.5 miles due west of the existing Urban Service Boundary (USB) and is not included in any Overlay or Special Planning Zone. However, on June 3, 2022 the St. Lucie County Commission approved the transmittal of an extended Urban Service Boundary. Significantly increasing the USB, and encompassing the subject property entirely. The applicant wishes to develop the combined 425.27-acre properties as an Industrial Use with mixed intensity, adhering to the permitted uses and development guidelines within Land Development Regulations, to supplement the needs of the surrounding community. A Future Land Use Map Amendment would be required (Policy 1.1.1.3) due to the incompatibility of the desired Industrial Uses within the AG- 5 Future Land Use. Page 126 of 268 Rainbow Groves FLUMA/RZ St. Lucie County July 7, 2022 Page 2 of 2 Our proposal is two-fold. First, to amend the subject parcel described in this application to an Industrial (IND) Future Land Use, providing for the broader objective to develop industrial development. Second, to obtain a zoning change to Industrial, Heavy (IH) to have compatibility with requested Future Land Use, and adjacent property. Once the Map Amendment and Zoning Change process is complete, the next step would be to submit a formal application for development with the County. Additional material submitted in support of this Future Land Use Map Amendment (FLUMA) application is as follows: • Aerial Photograph • Boundary Survey • Warranty Deeds • Current Neighborhood Development Map • Existing Future Land Use Map • Proposed Future Land Use Map • Jurisdictional Map • Legal Description • Property Cards • Tax Map • Tax Records – 2021 • Existing Urban Service Boundary • Proposed Urban Service Boundary Expansion • Vicinity Map • Existing Zoning Map • Traffic Statement Based on the submitted application and supplemental information attached, the applicant respectfully requests approval of the proposed application.

The development site is approx. 245 acres in size located in westerly Unincorporated St Lucie County at the address: 10301 Range Line Rd. The St. Lucie County Parcel Identification Numbers part of the plan are No. 4212-111-0001-000-1, 4212-123-0001-000-8, and 4212-113- 0001-000-7. Figure 1 below details the location of the site in relation to the surrounding roadway network. Figure 1 – Site Location The Land Use Amendment being requested will be to change the Land Use from AG-5 Agricultural to MXD Mixed Use District. The updated overall exhibit provided in the appendix reveals the proposed mixed uses to be as follows: · Heavy Industrial (150.67 ac.) · Light industrial (48.57 ac.) · Light Industrial / General Commercial (46.00 ac.) PROJECT LOCATION Page 130 of 268 Traffic Impact Analysis for Rainbow Groves Land Use Amendment Giangrande Engineering & Planning Revised April 2023 Page 2 TRIP GENERATION The peak hour traffic generation for the site was available from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 11th Edition. The Land Use Amendment proposes to change the Land Use from AG-5 Agriculture to MXD Mixed Use District including: a. Heavy Industrial (Manufacturing, ITE Code 140) b. Light Industrial (General Light Industrial, ITE Code 110) c. General Commercial (General Office Building, ITE Code 710) The Independent Variable estimates the Gross Floor Area to be 50% of the acreage as given in the updated overall exhibit. The most intense ITE Land Use Codes were utilized for this analysis. The calculation of the trip generation is given in Table 1 (below). Table 1 – Proposed Trip Generation As determined in the calculation table provided above, the sum of the average rate and logarithmic equations have determined the proposed Daily traffic to be 28,609 ADT and the greatest peak hour peak direction impact is the AM entering trips with a total of 3,820 trips. A reference to the ITE equations and plots is provided in the appendix The existing agricultural land use is estimated to only be seasonal work where heavy vehicles are transporting crops from the fields to the packaging and distribution warehouses. For this analysis, no existing trips are being deducted from the proposed trips. TRIP DISTRIBUTION The distribution of trips generally assumes that 40% of the traffic generated from the project will enter the site from Glades Cut-Off Road from I-95 and Ft Pierce, 40% will enter from the east via new Crosstown Parkway connection from I-95 and Tradition, and 20% of the traffic will enter from the south via Range Line Road from Martin County. Future roadway improvement programs have been researched: · City of Port St Lucie Capital Improvements Program · St Lucie TPO Transportation Improvement Program · FDOT District 4 Five-Year Work Program · Private Developer Improvements within the St. Lucie TPO Long Range Transportation Plan Glades Cut-Off Road was recently overlayed by St Lucie County and the Crosstown Parkway connection to Range Line Road at the intersection of Glades Cut-Off is currently under construction by the City of Port St Lucie.

Once the connection is opened it will provide a more efficient route to I-95 and provide connection to Tradition, Southern Grove and the City of Port St Lucie. No other roadway projects researched are in the vicinity of the Land Use Amendment. The development of the trip distributions from the project site to the surrounding communities were based on the location of population and major roadways within the vicinity of the project. The most direct route from the site to I-95 being the greatest demand. Figure 2 (below) is provided as a graphical representation of the trip distribution percentages to roadway links and intersections within the project vicinity.

Project trips have been added to the current growth trips to determine build-out trips. Links must be included in the analysis if they consume at least 5% of the service volume. Table 2 (previous page) is provided to show the concurrency analysis for each of the links potentially impacted by the project. As distributed all links function below capacity in upon build-out except for the following roadway segments: · Range Line Road from Glades Cut-Off Road to the Site Entrance (1.75 miles). o The 2-lane facility inevitably exceeds the roadway volume capacity by 283%. · Glades Cut-Off Road from Range Line Road to Reserve Blvd (3.75 miles). o The 2-lance facility exceeds the roadway capacity by 142.8%. · Glades Cut-Off Road from Reserve Blvd to Commerce Center Drive (0.90 miles). o The 2-lance facility exceeds the roadway volume capacity by 142.8% · Glades Cut-Off Road from Commerce Center Drive to Midway Road (3.10 miles). o The 2-lance facility exceeds the roadway volume capacity by 166.1%. · I-95 from Okeechobee Rd to Midway Road (3.25 miles). o The road segment exceeds capacity before project trips are applied. CONCLUSION Based on this traffic analysis, the Land Use Amendment is anticipated to have a traffic volume impact upon Range Line Road and Glades Cut-Off Road. The Proportionate Fair Share Transportation Impact Mitigation program as outlined in the St. Lucie County LDC Sec. 5.07.00 should be considered as an effort to reach concurrency. It is recommended that the applicant request a pre-application meeting with the St Lucie County Growth Management Department in order to determine eligibility, submittal requirements, potential mitigation options and related issues.

An office building houses multiple tenants that can include, as examples, professional services, insurance companies, investment brokers, a banking institution, a restaurant, or other service retailers. A general office building with a gross floor area of 10,000 square feet or less is classified as a small office building (Land Use 712). Corporate headquarters building (Land Use 714), single tenant office building (Land Use 715), medical-dental office building (Land Use 720), office park (Land Use 750), research and development center (Land Use 760), and business park (Land Use 770) are additional related uses. Additional Data If two or more general office buildings are in close physical proximity (within a close walk) and function as a unit (perhaps with a shared parking facility and common or complementary tenants), the total gross floor area or employment of the paired office buildings can be used for calculating the site trip generation. If the individual buildings are isolated or not functionally related to one another, trip generation should be calculated for each building separately. For study sites with reported gross floor area and employees, an average employee density of 3.3 employees per 1,000 square feet GFA (or roughly 300 square feet per employee) has been consistent through the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. No sites counted in the 2010s reported both GFA and employees. The average building occupancy varies considerably within the studies for which occupancy data were provided. The reported occupied gross floor area was 88 percent for general urban/suburban sites and 96 percent for the center city core and dense multi-use urban sites.

All but one of the parcels is located inside the Urban Service Boundary (USB) in the White City community south of Ft. Pierce, along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River. One parcel, the Cypress Creek Preservation Area, is in the far western County on the north side of Okeechobee Road, approximately 4,200 feet east of the Okeechobee County line. See aerial maps on following pages for property locations. The purpose of the CPUB Conservation—Public FLUM is to provide an environment suitable for protection, preservation, or enhancement of public lands in the community, together with such uses as may be compatible with public and quasi-public surroundings. The County acquired the 12 parcels in 2018 with funding from the Florida Forever program with the intent of conserving and restoring habitat and providing mostly passive recreation activities such as hiking, fishing, birdwatching, etc. The North Fork St. Lucie River preserves are significant both in protecting this Outstanding Florida Water and as part of the larger North Fork, St. Lucie River Aquatic Preserve which extends 16 miles south from Midway Road to Coconut Point in Stuart, with eastern and western boundaries encompassing state-owned sovereign submerged lands occurring below the mean high water line to which the state holds title. The river supports a variety of federally and state-protected species such as American alligators, manatees, river otters, nesting wood storks, little blue herons, brown pelicans, five species of snook, and opossum pipefish. Rare tropical peripheral fish species, such as gobies, sleepers, and pipefish, are also found in the upper reaches of the North Fork and the two headwaters, Five-mile and Ten-mile creeks. The river is an especially important habitat for the juvenile phases of commercially important species such as blue crab, snook, snapper, drum, and shrimp. The Cypress Creek Preserve is Page 162 of 268 Petition: File No.: RZ-2209-000011 Page 4 4 significant in its preservation and restoration of a large portion of hydric forest that protects wildlife habitat and benefits the southern Indian River Lagoon and its estuaries. At this time, the Martin Myers Stickel and Zorc Preserves, on the North Fork of the St. Lucie River, are conservation areas not yet open to the public in terms of trails and facilities. The Cypress Creek Preserve is also not yet open to the public. Petravice Preserve improvements are nearly complete. Cypress Creek Preserve A 2018 Florida Communities Trust report reported that the Cypress Creek Preserve represents a significant portion of the remaining hydric forest that once extended along the entire eastern edge of the Orlando Ridge south of Indian River County, through western St. Lucie County. The Cypress Creek region has also been identified as the single most important and highly valued areas for natural storage, water quality improvement, and habitat restoration to benefit the southern Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie estuaries by St. Lucie County, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the South Florida Water Management District. The property is also within the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) for natural area storage. Approximately 83 percent of the site consists of native plant communities. The remaining area consists of improved pasture to be restored, interior roads, firebreaks, ditches, and man-made ponds. Wetland soil types support species such as bald cypress, pond cypress, pond apple, persimmon, red maple, dahoon holly, Carolina ash, and galberry. Upland and transitional soils support species such as slash pine, live oak, beautyberry, native ferns, and wild coffee. Forested wetlands and hammocks are full of native epiphytic plants. Commonly observed wildlife includes Sherman fox squirrel, hawks, American bad eagle, grey fox, bobcat, swallow-tailed kites, deer, turkey, gopher tortoise, and crested caracara. The FCT report noted that a Florida Panther was also seen in the past year. Since acquisition, the preserve has been actively managed for invasive vegetation, prescribed fire, and general maintenance to ensure ecosystem health. Plans for the property include upland and wetland restoration projects, continued maintenance of the natural communities, and public passive recreation amenities. Wetland restoration projects include ditch and pond removal and limiting drainage to rehydrate the Cypress Creek floodplain, baygall, and depression marshes. The FCT project site will be open to the public for passive recreation and will include accessible amenities for people with unique abilities. The project is an integral part of the Cypress Creek Greenway Corridor which connects neighbors and multi-trail users to greenways and trails. Future amenity highlights will include ADA boardwalks, parking, and picnic facilities, as well as observations tower(s), wildlife blinds, hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, and a campground. The campground will provide ADA compatible RV and primitive campsites, as well as multiple ADA accessible ecofriendly cabins with restrooms. Trails will incorporate interpretive signs and kiosks with braille and QR codes for the visually impaired. QR codes will link to auditory support via smartphone and/or YouTube videos to describe the visual surrounding. Hiking and equestrian trails will utilize semi-improved grassed roadways wherever possible. Future amenities may also include an ADA/adaptive archery range. Free nature programming will be provided seasonally. Annual programming will be developed for wounded warriors, veterans, and youth with exceptional abilities including autism and special needs to encourage experiencing therapy time with nature. Outside nature programming, eco-cabins, and camping will be open periodically free of charge to people with unique abilities. Martin Myers Stickell Preserve This preserve will be open for public recreation and will include accessible amenities for people with unique abilities. Amenity highlights include ADA and wilderness hiking trails, a wildlife observation platform, kayak launch/stop-over, nature playground, 20ft x 40ft outdoor classroom, ADA and wilderness boardwalks, bike rack, benches along trails, an ADA compliant parking area, educational kiosks, and interpretive brochures. Trails will incorporate interpretive signs, kiosks with braille and QR codes for the visually impaired. QR codes will link visitors to auditory support via smartphones and/or YouTube videos to describe site features. The Page 163 of 268 Petition: File No.: RZ-2209-000011 Page 5 5 kayak launch will connect to the North Fork Paddle Trail. Free nature programming will be provided seasonally, and programs will be developed for wounded warriors, PTSD victims, veterans, and youth with exceptional abilities including autism and special needs. The outdoor classroom will be used by local groups and the nature playground will provide a unique sensory experience for kids. Petravice Preserve The 35-acre Petravice Family Preserve habitat includes floodplain forests and swamps, and commonly seen wildlife includes osprey, herons, alligators, bobcats, and turtles. The Preserve also included a disturbed area with contaminated soils from pesticide storage by a longtime plant nursery. The County has implemented the Preserve’s Management Plan of decontamination, habitat restoration and removal of exotics, installation of a kayak launch, development of a 1.5-mile hiking trail along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River and a one- mile interpretative trail, construction of wildlife observation platform with interpretative panel, educational kiosk, and a small ADA-compliant parking lot. The preserve provides a trail along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River that allows visitors to have walking access via a bridge to Captain Hammond’s Hammock Preserve, previously only accessible by boat. Fishing is allowed, and amenities include picnic pavilions, lawn games, and restrooms. Zorc Preserve The Florida Communities Trust 2020 Annual Report describes this preserve as consisting of a variety of upland and wetland habitats including hydric hammock, mesic flatwoods, floodplain forest and floodplain marsh. The historic uses of parcels in this region consisted of early agriculture, such as citrus production and cattle grazing. In total, the project site protects nearly 4,000 linear feet of shoreline along the North Fork St. Lucie River (NFSLR) and is encompassed within the North Fork, St. Lucie River Aquatic Preserve. The NFSLR has been an area of focus among several land acquisition programs, including the Florida Forever program, FCT, South Florida Water Management District’s Save Our Rivers program, and St. Lucie County’s Environmentally Significant Lands program. Today, acquisition efforts have preserved nearly 4,000 acres of upland and floodplain along the NFSLR. Together with Captain Hammond’s Hammock Preserve project, these conservation lands provide important connectivity for wildlife, greenways, and the future NFSLR paddling trail. As part of a state aquatic preserve, the NFSLR is designated as an Outstanding Florida Water. The NFSLR also supports a variety of wildlife and is approximately 16 miles long through the natural riverbends. The Zorc Preserve will include amenities such as an observation deck, fishing pier, interpretive kiosks and walking/nature/bike/equestrian or multi-purpose trail. Once completed, the Zorc parcels will benefit from additional planned improvements within the adjacent FCT projects including primitive camping, trail benches, canoe/kayak launches, picnic pavilions, parking, educational kiosks, and wildlife viewing and fishing platforms.

LUCIE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN A. In reviewing petitions for amendments to the Future Land Use Map, the Planning and Zoning Commission should determine whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan and Florida Statutes. Staff Response: The proposed amendment to the Future Land Use Map is supported by the following Comprehensive Plan Goal, Objectives, and Policies. Conservation Element Goal 6.1: The natural resources of St. Lucie County shall be protected, appropriately used, or conserved in a manner which maximizes their functions, and values. Conservation Element Objective 6.1.4: The County shall continue to enforce Wetland Protection Standards within the Land Development Code which require the preservation, creation and restoration of wetlands in a manner that results in no net loss of function and value within the County's jurisdiction. Conservation Element Objective 6.1.8: The County shall protect native upland vegetative communities, and shall protect listed species and their habitat. This shall be accomplished through the County Environmentally Significant Lands Acquisition program, ongoing natural resource protection programs and the implementation of Land Development Code. Conservation Element Policy 6.1.4.9 - The County shall continue to identify and inventory wetlands, and analyze wetland areas for those which could be considered high quality wetlands of high functional value. The County shall provide for the protection, appropriate use and conservation of these areas based on criteria which consider the administrative and fiscal constraints of the County. Potential mechanisms shall include acquisition, restriction or prohibition of activities, and incentives to protect and maintain wetlands. Conservation Element Policy 6.1.8.3 - Lands acquired through the County's Environmentally Significant Lands Program for preservation shall be preserved and managed for natural habitat, listed plant and animal species and passive resource recreational needs of the public. Conservation Element Policy 6.1.8.9 - The County shall continue to identify native upland vegetative communities. The County shall provide for the protection, appropriate use and conservation of these areas based on criteria which consider the administrative and fiscal constraints of the County. Potential mechanisms shall include acquisition, conservation easements, restriction or prohibition of activities, and incentives to protect and maintain these areas. Conservation Element Policy 6.1.8.11 - The County shall continue to support the County Land Acquisition Selection Committee whose function is to utilize the 2004 St. Lucie County Native Habitat Inventory and Federal, State, and local resources, to formulate a master acquisition list of lands having native upland habitat. The overall objective is to ensure the preservation of a minimum of 12,500 acres of the remaining native upland habitat, with the highest priority being those classified as endangered or threatened as well as those properties having habitats that are facing destruction as a result of urban development and which recognizes relationships to those areas of native habitat already under public and/or private preservation. Page 167 of 268 Project Name: CPUB FLUMA File No.: FLUMA-2210-000017 DRAFT 9 Conservation Element Objective 6.1.12: The biodiversity of the County's natural areas shall be protected and enhanced through public land acquisition, conservation easements, the Land Development Code regulations, and implementation of Management Plans prepared for public owned and managed natural areas. The County shall enact, enforce, and continually review and update land use regulations and land management plans that provide for the protection of natural resources. Conservation Element Policy 6.1.12.3 - The County shall acquire and support the public acquisition of a diversity of natural habitat types to ensure maximum diversity of native wildlife species. The County shall continue to support the functions and recommendations of the County Land Acquisition Selection Committee. Conservation Element Policy 6.1.12.6 - Where feasible, the County shall protect critical habitat through acquisition, establishment of public or private conservation easements, purchase of development rights, or through other available means as deemed appropriate. The County shall continue to request assistance in public acquisition of natural areas under federal, state and regional programs or other non-governmental organizations. Economic Development Policy 10.4.1.1 - Protect St. Lucie County's natural resources and countryside to ensure their continued existence for the benefit and enjoyment of future residents and visitors. Economic Development Policy 10.4.2.3 - Develop ecotourism opportunities to help extend the tourist season in St. Lucie County, help sustain large areas of open space, preserve natural habitat, discourage sprawling, low density development, and broaden the economic base. Recreation Element Policy 7.1.1.4 - All areas having the Conservation Public Land Use designation will be used solely for preservation and/or passive recreation. No residential or commercial development will be permitted other than development typically related to park service and security functions. Recreation Element Objective 7.1.2: Through the use of public funds, gifts, contributions, mandatory fees and/or deductions, cooperative agreements, or other means, St. Lucie County will coordinate public and private resources to meet the recreation and open space needs of its residents and visitors. Recreation Element Policy 7.1.5.1 - Identify appropriate and sustainable sites to develop as eco-tourism destinations and passive recreational opportunities. Recreation Element Objective 7.1.6: Continue to preserve and enhance Environmentally Sensitive Lands in St. Lucie County. Recreation Element Policy 7.1.6.2 - Seek funding from outside sources for acquisition, improvement and management of Environmentally Sensitive Lands. Recreation Element Objective 7.1.8: The County shall protect environmentally significant areas with emphasis on native upland habitats, and the prevention of the net loss of listed species and their habitats. This shall be accomplished through the County Environmental Significant Lands Acquisition program, ongoing natural resource protection programs and the implementation of Land Development Code, including impact fees. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.1.2.2 provides review criteria for FLUMAs as noted below. 1. “An analysis of anticipated growth;” As the County continues to grow, the demand for recreation and outdoor activities will also continue to grow. The Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) provided a 2021 estimate of county population at 340,060. The County has gained 62,271 new residents since 2010, an increase exceeding 22%. The other Page 168 of 268 Project Name: CPUB FLUMA File No.: FLUMA-2210-000017 DRAFT 10 benefit of conservation is to direct new development away from vulnerable waterfront properties and into more suitable infill locations. 2. “An analysis of the availability of facilities and services;” As preserves and parks, the amendment lands are low impact and will not result in facility and service demand other than parking and access needed for public visitation. While the Cypress Creek Preserve is remote (14 miles from the closest Fire/EMS station), the river preserves are in an accessible area within the Urban Service Boundary, between two and three miles from a Fire/EMS station. All preserves are served by paved roads. All preserves are on well and septic, which is acceptable given the low-impact use. 3. “An analysis of the suitability of the plan amendment for its proposed use considering the character of the undeveloped land, soils, topography, natural resources, and historic resources on site;” The amendment properties include environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands and high-value habitat, which are suitable for the CPUB designation. Conservation uses come with management plans, which install outdoor education, remove exotics, develop trails, remove ditches and ponds, restore marshes, and remove soils contaminated with old agricultural pesticides and chemicals. 4. “An analysis of compatibility of adjacent land uses;” As low-impact preserves and parks, the amendment properties will be compatible with adjacent land uses, which are either single-family homes or existing conservation areas. 5. “An analysis of the need for job creation, capital improvement, and economic development that will strengthen and diversify the community’s economy;” As noted in the Comprehensive Plan’s Economic Development Element, preserves greatly benefit current and future residents and visitors and boost ecotourism in the County. 6. “A consultation with the Florida Department of Transportation when it is determined that a proposed amendment has the potential to affect facilities on the Strategic Intermodal System.” The amendment properties are low-impact preserves that will not impact SIS facilities. Compliance with State Statutes: The proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Map are being processed as a single application with multiple parcels. As the acreage total exceeds the threshold for large-scale amendment review, the amendment is subject to review by the State Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) under the expedited review process. DEO comments are provided within 30 days of their receipt of the transmitted amendments. Environmental Assessment Detailed environmental assessments of the properties were conducted in 2017-2019 during the Florida Communities Trust evaluation process. The County’s ERD has utilized this and other data to develop detailed management plans to install outdoor education, remove exotics, develop trails, remove ditches and ponds, restore marshes, and remove soils contaminated with old agricultural pesticides and chemicals. The North Fork St. Lucie River preserves include floodplain forests, floodplain swamps, scattered uplands, and disturbed areas. The river supports a variety of federally and state-protected species such as American alligators, manatees, river otters, nesting wood storks, little blue herons, brown pelicans, five species of snook, and opossum pipefish. Rare tropical peripheral fish species, such as gobies, sleepers, and pipefish, are also found in the upper reaches of the North Fork and the two headwaters, Five-mile and Ten-mile creeks. The river is an especially important habitat for the juvenile phases of commercially important species such as blue crab, snook, snapper, drum, and shrimp. The North Fork preserves are significant both in protecting this Outstanding Florida Water and as part of the larger North Fork, St. Lucie River Aquatic Preserve which extends 16 miles south from Midway Road to Coconut Point in Stuart, with eastern and western boundaries encompassing state-owned sovereign submerged lands occurring below the mean high water line to which the state holds title. The Cypress Creek Preserve is significant in its preservation and restoration of a large portion of hydric forest that protects wildlife habitat and benefits the southern Indian River Lagoon and its estuaries.

Page 203 of 268 St. Lucie County 1-1 Adopted_updated 12.2022 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element GOPs Policy 1.1.1.2 - The County’s land use categories shall be described as follows: A. Agricultural-5 (AG-5) The AG-5 land use designation is intended for those areas of the County outside of the planned urban service area which are associated with agricultural and agricultural-related activities. These areas are recognized for first being appropriate for the production of citrus, cash crops, or ranching activities. These areas are acknowledged as potentially suitable for limited residential and nonresidential development under the following criteria: • All residential and nonresidential development must be in accordance with applicable standards and restrictions as set forth in the Land Development Code; • All residential development proposals in excess of forty-five (45) units must be approved through the Planned Development (PD) process as provided for in the Land Development Code; • Any activity other than crop or food product related production, including combinations of properties/uses, in excess of 200 acres should identify appropriate mechanisms for funding the operation and maintenance of necessary infrastructure. Any utility infrastructure shall be consistent with the Infrastructure Element. • Residential densities are set at a maximum of 0.20 units per gross acre (one unit per 5 gross acres). B. Agricultural-2.5 (AG-2.5) The AG-2.5 land use designation is intended for those areas of the County outside of the planned urban service area which are associated with agricultural and agricultural-related activities. These areas are recognized for first being appropriate for the production of citrus, cash crops, or ranching activities. These areas are acknowledged as potentially suitable for limited residential and nonresidential development under the following criteria: • All residential and nonresidential development must be in accordance with applicable standards and restrictions as set forth in the Land Development Code; • All residential development proposals in excess of forty-five (45) units must be approved through the Planned Development (PD) process as provided for in the Land Development Code; • Any activity other than crop or food product related production, including combinations of properties/uses, in excess of 200 acres should identify appropriate mechanisms for funding the operation and maintenance of necessary infrastructure. Any utility infrastructure shall be consistent with the Infrastructure Element. • Residential densities are set at a maximum of 0.40 units per gross acre (one unit per 2.5 gross acres). C. Residential Estate (RE) The Residential Estate (RE) land use category is intended to act as a transitional area between the agricultural areas and the more intense residential areas in the eastern portion of the County. This category is found predominantly along the western edge of the urban form, but is also appropriate for areas of special environmental concern such as along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River and the Indian River Lagoon. Page 204 of 268 St. Lucie County 1-2 Adopted_updated 12.2022 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element GOPs The RE designation is intended for large lot, single-family detached residential dwellings, at a density of one unit per gross acre. These areas are not required to be served with central utilities, however when at all practical, service connections should be provided. The RE designation is acknowledged as potentially suitable for limited residential and nonresidential development under the following criteria: • All residential and nonresidential development must be in accordance with applicable standards and restrictions as set forth in the Land Development Code; • All residential development proposals in excess of eight units must be approved through the Planned Development (PD) process as provided for in the Land Development Code; • Residential densities are set at a maximum of one (1) unit per one gross acre. D. Residential Suburban (RS) The Residential Suburban (RS) land use category is intended to act as a transitional area between the agricultural areas and the more intense residential areas in the eastern portion of the County. This category is found predominantly along the western edge of the urban form, but is also appropriate for areas of special environmental concern such as along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River and the Indian River Lagoon. The RS designation is intended for large lot, single-family detached residential dwellings, at a density of one (1) to two (2) units per gross acre. These areas are not required to be served with central utilities; however when at all practical, service connections should be required. Limited nonresidential uses may be appropriate, in accordance with applicable standards and restrictions as set forth in the Land Development Code. E. Residential Urban (RU) The Residential Urban (RU) classification is the predominant residential land use category in the County. This residential land use category provides for a maximum density of five (5) dwelling units per gross acre. The RU designation is generally found between the identified urban service areas and the transitional RS areas. These properties need to be serviced with central water and wastewater services. These services may be provided by either a public utility or through private on-site facilities, as would be permitted in accordance with all applicable regulations. New development in the RU areas can occur using traditional single-family or multifamily zoning designations or through the planned unit development process. Limited nonresidential uses may be appropriate, in accordance with applicable standards and restrictions as set forth in the Land Development Code. F. Residential Medium (RM) The Residential Medium (RM) land use category is to be applied to those areas that are within, or planned to be within, areas of central community services. A maximum residential density of nine (9) dwelling units per gross acre is permitted under this land use designation. If required, the actual density is subject to the satisfactory completion of the rezoning process, which would include complete review of the physical suitability of the property for development at the proposed intensity. Limited nonresidential uses may be appropriate, in accordance with applicable standards Page 205 of 268 St. Lucie County 1-5 Adopted_updated 12.2022 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element GOPs O. Conservation The Conservation land use designation has been divided into two future land use categories: Residential/Conservation (R/C) and Conservation-Public (Cpub). These designations are intended to identify areas of the County which exhibit unique or special environmental characteristics, and may be either publicly or privately held. The designations are described in more detail below. 1. Residential/Conservation (R/C): The Residential/Conservation category is intended to identify those privately controlled lands that contain unique vegetation or have characteristics which warrant special attention prior to their being developed. The Residential/Conservation designation is not intended to prevent development activities. Instead, its purpose is to identify those areas that, due to special environmental or other unique constraints, location, property configuration, or topography should be more closely examined before final development approvals are authorized. Areas designated Residential/Conservation carry a development potential of 0.20 dwelling units per gross acre (one dwelling unit per five gross acres). Areas within the R/C designation should be developed using the following criteria: • The development is supplied with central water and sewer service; unless otherwise permitted by the appropriate authority. • Any development within an area designated R/C should, as a requirement for building permit approval, demonstrate compliance with all applicable environmental protection regulations as set forth in the Land Development Code for St. Lucie County. • Any residential development proposal in excess of ten (10) acres, or involving more than eight (8) units, should be reviewed under the Planned Development regulations as set forth in the Land Development Code for St. Lucie County. 2. Conservation-Public (Cpub): Areas designated Conservation-Public are those lands which exhibit unique environmental characteristics and are owned by federal, state, regional, or local public agencies. They are intended solely for preservation and/or recreational use. No residential or commercial development may occur other than that typically related to park service and security functions. P. Towns Villages and Countryside (TVC). Areas designated TVC must follow the policies of the TVC Element in this Comprehensive Plan and the TVC Overlay Zone requirements in the Land Development Code. The purpose of the TVC land use designation is to accommodate future growth within the Special Area Plan for North St. Lucie County in the existing, undeveloped rural areas with a planning strategy that will ensure a settlement pattern that is sustainable, predictable, protects and enhances the rural environment and improves the citizens’ quality of life. The TVC requires a sustainable settlement pattern characterized by a mix of uses, building types and income levels within a compact pedestrian friendly environment that accommodates multiple modes of transportation and preserves open space. This land use category is appropriate for areas that have been analyzed in a Special Area Plan, created with a high degree of citizen participation.

LUCIE COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTING AS THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY place for more than 400,000 active duty ser- vice members, veterans and their families. James Fuentes has said he reconnected in 2021 with his father, after being long estranged, and said his dad was “a totally different person.” James Fuentes’ broth- er, John, has said he didn’t get the chance, noting it had been a num- ber of years since he spoke with his dad. “For me, it’s kind of difficult to try to process everything that has tran- spired,” John Fuentes, 51, said. During the service at Arlington, U.S. Army Chaplain Capt. Philip Agber said Fuentes was not only a soldier, but a loving father and grand- father. “He was a loving son of his parents; he was a lov- ing brother to his siblings,” Agber said. “Jorge was a man of deep faith, deep conviction. Jorge will always say what he means, and be- lieve what he says.” The Fuentes siblings have said their father had a second wife and three additional children. James Fuentes said his father and the second wife were estranged and in the process of divorc- ing. James Fuentes said they extended an invita- tion for anyone who could communicate with the wife and children from the second marriage to attend the funeral at Ar- lington. He said there was no communication with the family after his father’s death. “They were not a part of anything,” James Fu- entes said. “They didn’t reach out to us, nothing.” John Fuentes said he was puzzled about why the wife and other chil- dren haven’t communi- cated. “I wrote a letter and reached out to them and sent it via certified mail and all of it came back,” John Fuentes said. John Fuentes said he thinks information about his father’s homicide case is out there. “I just feel as if there is someone that knows something,” he said. “There had to have been someone walking by, jog- ging by, driving by when all this happened.” Those with informa- tion are asked to contact Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 800-273- TIPS or Detective Dania Francois-Brown at 772- 979-1471 or dfran- cois@fppd.org Will Greenlee is a breaking news reporter for TCPalm.

This location has closed after 33 wonderful years of serving BBQ slathered in Southern hospitality. Thank you for your support over the years! We look forward to servin’ you at another Sonny’s BBQ.” The Vero Beach res- taurant, which opened in 2002, has no plans to close, General Manager Deana Hofmann said. It’s part of a corporate group that owns seven locations from Vero Beach to Titusville, whereas the Stuart and Fort Pierce locations were privately owned, she said. The Stuart location at 1961 S.E. Federal Highway near Monterey Road closed March 31. It opened in 1983, Jackson said. “In the past year, we have both opened and closed Sonny’s loca- tions,” Jackson said. “We’re committed to our guests and look forward to refreshing our existing restaurants and opening new locations in the fu- ture.” Sonny’s BBQ was founded by Floyd “Son- ny” Tillman in Gainesville in 1968, and has grown to over 100 locations in sev- en states: Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, Mis- sissippi and Louisiana. Most restaurants are in Florida.

The Cypress Creek Preserve represents a significant portion of the remaining hydric forest once extending along the entire east- ern edge of the Orlando Ridge south of Indi-an River County, through western St. Lucie County. The Cypress Creek region has also been identified as the single most important and highly valued areas for natural storage, water quality improvement, and habitat res- toration to benefit the southern Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie estuaries by St. Lucie County, the U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers, and the South Florida Water Manage- ment District. The property is also within the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) for natural area storage. Ap-proximately 83 percent of the site consists of native plant communities, and the property supports a variety of wildlife. Plans for the property include upland and wetland restora-tion projects, continued maintenance of the natural communities, and recreation ameni- ties including hiking, bicycling, and equestri-an trails; primitive and RV campground and cabins; observation towers; picnic areas, and parking.

All but one of the parcels is located inside the Urban Service Boundary (USB) in the White City community south of Ft. Pierce, along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River. One parcel, the Cypress Creek Preservation Area, is located in the far western County on the north side of Okeechobee Road, approximately 4,200 feet from the Okeechobee County line. Aerial maps on following pages identify property locations. The purpose of the CPUB Conservation—Public Zoning District is to provide an environment suitable for protection, preservation, or enhancement of public lands in the community, together with such uses as may be compatible with public and quasi-public surroundings. The County acquired the parcels in 2018 with funding from the Florida Forever program with the intent of conserving and restoring habitat and providing mostly passive recreation activities such as hiking, fishing, birdwatching, etc. The North Fork St. Lucie River preserves are significant both in protecting this Outstanding Florida Water and as part of the larger North Fork, St. Lucie River Aquatic Preserve which extends 16 miles south from Midway Road to Coconut Point in Stuart, with eastern and western boundaries encompassing state-owned sovereign submerged lands occurring below the mean high-water line to which the state holds title. The river supports a variety of federally and state-protected species such as American alligators, manatees, river otters, nesting wood storks, little blue herons, brown pelicans, five species of snook, and opossum pipefish. Rare tropical peripheral fish species, such as gobies, sleepers, and pipefish, are also found in the upper reaches of the North Fork and the two headwaters, Five-mile and Ten-mile creeks. The river is an especially important habitat for the juvenile phases of commercially important species such as blue crab, snook, snapper, drum, and shrimp. The Cypress Creek Preserve is Page 218 of 268 Petition: File No.: RZ-2209-000011 Page 4 4 significant in its preservation and restoration of a large portion of hydric forest that protects wildlife habitat and benefits the southern Indian River Lagoon and its estuaries. At this time, the Martin Myers Stickel and Zorc Preserves, on the North Fork of the St. Lucie River, are conservation areas not yet open to the public in terms of trails and facilities. The Cypress Creek Preserve is also not yet open to the public. Petravice Preserve improvements are nearly complete. Cypress Creek Preserve A 2018 Florida Communities Trust report reported that the Cypress Creek Preserve represents a significant portion of the remaining hydric forest that once extended along the entire eastern edge of the Orlando Ridge south of Indian River County, through western St. Lucie County. The Cypress Creek region has also been identified as the single most important and highly valued areas for natural storage, water quality improvement, and habitat restoration to benefit the southern Indian River Lagoon and the St. Lucie estuaries by St. Lucie County, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the South Florida Water Management District. The property is also within the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) for natural area storage. Approximately 83 percent of the site consists of native plant communities. The remaining area consists of improved pasture to be restored, interior roads, firebreaks, ditches, and man-made ponds. Wetland soil types support species such as bald cypress, pond cypress, pond apple, persimmon, red maple, dahoon holly, Carolina ash, and galberry. Upland and transitional soils support species such as slash pine, live oak, beautyberry, native ferns, and wild coffee. Forested wetlands and hammocks are full of native epiphytic plants. Commonly observed wildlife includes Sherman fox squirrel, hawks, American bad eagle, grey fox, bobcat, swallow-tailed kites, deer, turkey, gopher tortoise, and crested caracara. The FCT report noted that a Florida Panther was also seen in the past year. Since acquisition, the preserve has been actively managed for invasive vegetation, prescribed fire, and general maintenance to ensure ecosystem health. Plans for the property include upland and wetland restoration projects, continued maintenance of the natural communities, and public passive recreation amenities. Wetland restoration projects include ditch and pond removal and limiting drainage to rehydrate the Cypress Creek floodplain, baygall, and depression marshes. The FCT project site will be open to the public for passive recreation and will include accessible amenities for people with unique abilities. The project is an integral part of the Cypress Creek Greenway Corridor which connects neighbors and multi-trail users to greenways and trails. Future amenity highlights will include ADA boardwalks, parking, and picnic facilities, as well as observations tower(s), wildlife blinds, hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, and a campground. The campground will provide ADA compatible RV and primitive campsites, as well as multiple ADA accessible ecofriendly cabins with restrooms. Trails will incorporate interpretive signs and kiosks with braille and QR codes for the visually impaired. QR codes will link to auditory support via smartphone and/or YouTube videos to describe the visual surrounding. Hiking and equestrian trails will utilize semi-improved grassed roadways wherever possible. Future amenities may also include an ADA/adaptive archery range. Free nature programming will be provided seasonally. Annual programming will be developed for wounded warriors, veterans, and youth with exceptional abilities including autism and special needs to encourage experiencing therapy time with nature. Outside nature programming, eco-cabins, and camping will be open periodically free of charge to people with unique abilities. Martin Myers Stickell Preserve This preserve will be open for public recreation and will include accessible amenities for people with unique abilities. Amenity highlights include ADA and wilderness hiking trails, a wildlife observation platform, kayak launch/stop-over, nature playground, 20ft x 40ft outdoor classroom, ADA and wilderness boardwalks, bike rack, benches along the trails, an ADA compliant parking area, educational kiosks and interpretive brochures. Trails will incorporate interpretive signs, kiosks with braille and QR codes for the visually impaired. QR codes will link visitors to auditory support via smartphones and/or YouTube videos to describe the site features. The Page 219 of 268 Petition: File No.: RZ-2209-000011 Page 5 5 ADA kayak launch will connect to the North Fork Paddle Trail. Free nature programming will be provided seasonally, and programs will be developed for wounded warriors, PTSD victims, veterans, and youth with exceptional abilities including autism and special needs. The outdoor classroom will be used by local groups and the nature playground will provide a unique sensory experience for kids. Petravice Preserve The 35-acre Petravice Family Preserve habitat includes floodplain forests and swamps, and commonly seen wildlife includes osprey, herons, alligators, bobcats, and turtles. The Preserve also included a disturbed area with contaminated soils from pesticide storage by a longtime plant nursery. The County has implemented the Preserve’s Management Plan of decontamination, habitat restoration and removal of exotics, installation of a kayak launch, development of a 1.5-mile hiking trail along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River and a one- mile interpretative trail, construction of wildlife observation platform with interpretative panel, educational kiosk, and a small ADA-compliant parking lot. The preserve provides a trail along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River that allows visitors to have walking access via a bridge to Captain Hammond’s Hammock Preserve, previously only accessible by boat. Fishing is allowed, and amenities include picnic pavilions, lawn games, and restrooms. Zorc Preserve The Florida Communities Trust 2020 Annual Report describes this preserve as consisting of a variety of upland and wetland habitats including hydric hammock, mesic flatwoods, floodplain forest and floodplain marsh. The historic uses of parcels in this region consisted of early agriculture, such as citrus production and cattle grazing. In total, the project site protects nearly 4,000 linear feet of shoreline along the North Fork St. Lucie River (NFSLR) and is encompassed within the North Fork, St. Lucie River Aquatic Preserve. The NFSLR has been an area of focus among several land acquisition programs, including the Florida Forever program, FCT, South Florida Water Management District’s Save Our Rivers program, and St. Lucie County’s Environmentally Significant Lands program. Today, acquisition efforts have preserved nearly 4,000 acres of upland and floodplain along the NFSLR. Together with Captain Hammond’s Hammock Preserve project, these conservation lands provide important connectivity for wildlife, greenways, and the future NFSLR paddling trail. As part of a state aquatic preserve, the NFSLR is designated as an Outstanding Florida Water (OFW). The NFSLR also supports a variety of wildlife and is approximately 16 miles long through natural riverbends. The Zorc Preserve will include amenities such as an observation deck, fishing pier, interpretive kiosks and walking/nature/bike/equestrian or multi-purpose trail. Once completed, the Zorc parcels will benefit from additional planned improvements within the adjacent FCT projects including primitive camping, trail benches, canoe/kayak launches, picnic pavilions, parking, educational kiosks, and wildlife viewing and fishing platforms.

Whether the proposed rezoning is in conflict with any applicable portions of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code; The proposed rezoning to the CPUB (Conservation Public) Zoning District is consistent with the St. Lucie County Land Development Code (LDC) and meets the standards of review set forth in LDC Section 11.06.03, as displayed in Sections through A-J of this report. The rezoning is consistent with LDC Section 11.09.02(A), Table 11-1 - Zoning District/ Land Use Category Compatibility Chart and the site meets the dimensional requirements set forth in Section 7.04.00 and Table 7-10 – Lot Size and Dimensional Requirements for the CPUB (Conservation Public) Zoning District. The proposed CPUB Zoning District is consistent with surrounding parcels, providing the use scope in LDC Section 3.01.03(HH) and District purpose. Future Land Use: The current Future Land Use designation of nine of the subject properties is RS (Residential Suburban, 2du/ac), and two other properties have both the RS and RU (Residential Urban, 5du/ac) FLU designations. A concurrent Future Land Use Map Amendment proposes to redesignate the properties as CPUB (Conservation-Public). Current Zoning: Ten of the subject properties are zoned AR-1 (Agricultural Residential-1, 1du/ac), one property has split zoning with RS-2 (Residential Single-Family-2, 2du/ac) and AR-1 zoning, and another is zoned AG-5 (Agricultural- 5, du/5ac) zoning. Proposed Zoning: The proposed zoning of the subject property is CPUB (Conservation Public). The purpose of this district is “to provide an environment suitable for protection, preservation or enhancement of public lands in the community, together with such uses as may be compatible with public and quasi-public surroundings.” B. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan; The proposed amendments to the official zoning atlas are supported by the following Comprehensive Plan Goal, Objectives, and Policies.

Whether there have been changed conditions that require an amendment; The changed conditions in this case are the acquisition of these conservation lands. The proposed amendments to the official zoning atlas are the last step in completing the requirements of the Florida Communities Trust grant awarded to St. Lucie County. An additional changed condition is the ongoing growth of the County, which increases the demand for recreation and outdoors activity. E. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in demands on public facilities, and whether or to the extent to which the proposed amendment would exceed the capacity of such public facilities, including but not limited to transportation facilities, sewage facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, and emergency medical facilities; The proposed change in zoning should not affect the acceptable level of service capacity of transportation facilities, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, or emergency medical facilities. The CPUB Zoning District is associated with minimal impacts on public infrastructure and neighboring private property. The transition to the CPUB District is considered a downzoning due to the decrease of potential development intensity and corresponding impacts. Other than the impacts of future park visitation, there are no anticipated increases in impacts to public facilities associated with these amendments. The proposed amendments will also improve the level of service for park facilities.

Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant adverse impacts on the natural environment; The proposed amendments to the official zoning atlas to the CPUB zoning district is intended to provide an environment suitable for the protection, preservation, and enhancement of public lands in the community, together with such other uses as may be compatible with public and quasi-public surroundings. Therefore, the proposed amendments will not result in adverse impacts on the natural environment. G. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would adversely affect the property values in the area; Although Planning Staff are not property appraisers, preserves and passive parks usually add value to neighboring properties as a significant amenity for hiking and other outdoor activity. H. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in an orderly and logical development pattern specifically identifying any negative affects of such patterns; An orderly and logical development pattern recognizes the importance of conserving natural lands in order to preserve open space and habitat. I. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public interest, and is in harmony with the purpose and intent of this Code; The public interest in this case is the County’s conservation lands acquisition program, approved by St Lucie County voters in 1994. This $20 million-dollar local bond program preserves, protects, and restores ecosystems in their natural state while providing compatible public use. Lands are acquired with the assistance of Florida Communities Trust (FCT), South Florida Water Management District, Save our Rivers (SOR), and Florida Forever. Properly zoning these properties is in harmony with this public interest. J. Any other matters that may be deemed appropriate by the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Board of County Commissioners, in review and consideration of the proposed amendment. The Planning and Zoning Commission may present other matters related to the proposed amendments. CONCLUSION: Staff has reviewed this petition and determined that it conforms to the Standards of Review as set forth in Section 11.06.03 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code and is also consistent with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the Board of County Commissioners.

LUCIE COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTING AS THE LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY place for more than 400,000 active duty ser- vice members, veterans and their families. James Fuentes has said he reconnected in 2021 with his father, after being long estranged, and said his dad was “a totally different person.” James Fuentes’ broth- er, John, has said he didn’t get the chance, noting it had been a num- ber of years since he spoke with his dad. “For me, it’s kind of difficult to try to process everything that has tran- spired,” John Fuentes, 51, said. During the service at Arlington, U.S. Army Chaplain Capt. Philip Agber said Fuentes was not only a soldier, but a loving father and grand- father. “He was a loving son of his parents; he was a lov- ing brother to his siblings,” Agber said. “Jorge was a man of deep faith, deep conviction. Jorge will always say what he means, and be- lieve what he says.” The Fuentes siblings have said their father had a second wife and three additional children. James Fuentes said his father and the second wife were estranged and in the process of divorc- ing. James Fuentes said they extended an invita- tion for anyone who could communicate with the wife and children from the second marriage to attend the funeral at Ar- lington. He said there was no communication with the family after his father’s death. “They were not a part of anything,” James Fu- entes said. “They didn’t reach out to us, nothing.” John Fuentes said he was puzzled about why the wife and other chil- dren haven’t communi- cated. “I wrote a letter and reached out to them and sent it via certified mail and all of it came back,” John Fuentes said. John Fuentes said he thinks information about his father’s homicide case is out there. “I just feel as if there is someone that knows something,” he said. “There had to have been someone walking by, jog- ging by, driving by when all this happened.” Those with informa- tion are asked to contact Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 800-273- TIPS or Detective Dania Francois-Brown at 772- 979-1471 or dfran- cois@fppd.org Will Greenlee is a breaking news reporter for TCPalm.

This location has closed after 33 wonderful years of serving BBQ slathered in Southern hospitality. Thank you for your support over the years! We look forward to servin’ you at another Sonny’s BBQ.” The Vero Beach res- taurant, which opened in 2002, has no plans to close, General Manager Deana Hofmann said. It’s part of a corporate group that owns seven locations from Vero Beach to Titusville, whereas the Stuart and Fort Pierce locations were privately owned, she said. The Stuart location at 1961 S.E. Federal Highway near Monterey Road closed March 31. It opened in 1983, Jackson said. “In the past year, we have both opened and closed Sonny’s loca- tions,” Jackson said. “We’re committed to our guests and look forward to refreshing our existing restaurants and opening new locations in the fu- ture.” Sonny’s BBQ was founded by Floyd “Son- ny” Tillman in Gainesville in 1968, and has grown to over 100 locations in sev- en states: Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, Mis- sissippi and Louisiana. Most restaurants are in Florida.
