5.WORKSHOPS
A.Electronic Signage
Electronic Sign workshop presented by Leslie Olson, Director of Planning & Development
Services. The purpose of the workshop to review the St. Lucie County sign code relating to
electronic signage. The County's sign ordinance currently does not allow changeable signs. This
item was presented to the Board of Commissioners Informal Meeting on October 8, 2018. There
was a consensus that more information should be provided about other cities' requirements for
changeable signs.
The workshop objectives: Review St. Lucie County sign ordinance related to electronic signage;
address pros and cons of electronic signage; and gather public input regarding current ordinances
and possible changes.
Electronic signs (Flashing, animated, fire-emitting, changeable-message, or noise-making signs)
are prohibited, except for one (1) variable electronic message sign per parcel or group of parcels
under a uniform site development plan, provided that the message sign does not exceed an
overall area of thirty (30) square feet x ten (10) feet typical dimensions); the message displays
shall not scroll, flash, or blink, and message display copy shall not change more frequently than
once every five (5) seconds. Reference 9.03.00 Prohibited Signs.
Visual examples of electronic signs were displayed. Explanation of Billboards 9.02.02, off
premises signs.

Request & Background
The applicant is requesting a change the zoning of the parcel from the RM-5 (Residential Multiple-Family-5,
du/ac) Zoning District to the RM-9 (Residential Multiple-Family-9, du/ac), for this 9.71-acre parcel. The
petition is concurrent with a Major Site Plan application to develop 81 apartments and residential amenities,
consistent with density allowance of the RM-9 zoning district.
Current Zoning:
In accordance with Land Development Code (LDC) Section 3.01.03. L. 1., the purpose of the RM-5 (Residential

In reviewing the application of a proposed amendment to the Official Zoning Atlas, the Board of County
Commissioners and the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make the following determinations:
Page 12 of 105
St. Lucie Gardens Rezoning
RZ-5201915522
August 2, 2019
Page 3
1. Whether the proposed amendment is in conflict with any applicable portions of the St. Lucie
County Land Development Code:
The proposed change in zoning from RM-5 to RM-9 is consistent with the RM Future Land Use Category.
Pursuant to Section 11.09.02, Table 11-1, the proposed zoning district is consistent with the proposed Future
Land Use category as presented in Exhibit 1 below.
Exhibit 1: St. Lucie County Zoning District/Land Use Category Compatibility Chart, Section 11.09.02, Table
11-1
2. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan:
The proposed change in zoning from RM-5 to RM-9 is consistent with the existing RM Future Land Use
Category assigned to the property.
The purpose of the Residential Medium Land Use is found in the St. Lucie County Comprehensive plan, Future
Land Use Element, as follows:
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 and restrictions as
set forth in the Land Development Code.
Policy 1.1.1.3 – The Future Land Use Map establishes the proposed long-range distribution and general use of
property within the county. The following table, Exhibit 2, is used to determine the consistency of Future Land
Use designations and zoning districts to identify compatible zoning districts.
Exhibit 2: Future Land Use - Consistency Matrix, Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1.1.3
Page 13 of 105
St. Lucie Gardens Rezoning
RZ-5201915522
August 2, 2019
Page 4
This change in zoning provides an opportunity for infill development, supporting a mix of uses in the Urban
Service Area where public facilities are available, consistent with Future Land Use Element Objective 1.1.6:
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.
The subject site is located in an area of central community services, having access to central water and sewer
systems, adjacent to Savanna Ridge Elementary School and in close proximity to commercial services and
employment opportunities. This rezoning process, in addition to site plan and concurrency review, includes a
complete evaluation of the physical suitability of the property for development at the intensity proposed.
3. Whether and the extent to which the proposed zoning is inconsistent with the existing and
proposed land uses:
The proposed zoning change is consistent with existing and proposed land uses of adjacent properties. A
residential community of similar zoning and density is south of the project, with consistent land use designations
abutting the site providing for compatible development options.
Land Use and Zoning Snapshot:
4. Whether there have been changed conditions that require an amendment;
The applicant states market demand for multi-family residences has increased, due to increased costs of single-
family home ownership. Further, the applicant acknowledges current supply of quality rental product is limited,
therefore the requested rezoning will provide an opportunity to support fulfillment of current and future demand.
The applicant intends the subject site and proposed apartment community will provide additional dwelling units
to support needed housing for local workforce and families.
In 2008, the Kitterman Oaks Apartment complex was developed to the south of the site, including expansion
of potable water and sewer collection facilities along Kitterman Road. St. Lucie County later completed a
segment of Lennard Road in 2011, connecting Kitterman Road and Prima Vista Blvd. Additional commercial
development along US Highway 1, mainly retail auto sales and service establishments, have been completed in
recent years.

5. 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 rezoning represents the potential increase in demands on select public facilities, such as parks,
schools, solid waste, mass transit, and emergency medical facilities, however the increased demand is consistent
with capital improvements and development existing and anticipated in this area within the Urban Service
Boundary. The rezoning would allow the development of up to an additional thirty-eight (38) units.
Transportation:
Utilities & Solid Waste:
Mass Transit:
Fire/EMS Protection:
Parks & Schools
Based upon the intended development type, ITE Manual Land Use Code
220 – Multifamily Housing, the proposed rezoning could result in up to an
additional 278 daily trips per day, on average. Concurrency review,
including traffic analysis, is required prior to issuance of a development
order.
Kitterman Road is a 60ft. right-of-way owned and maintained by St. Lucie
County. The applicant is proposing donation of an additional 10ft. through
the site plan.
Port St. Lucie Utilities will provide Water & Wastewater service to the site.
Electric and solid waste collection will be provided by FP&L and Waste-
Pro, respectively.
The Treasure Coast Connector provides access to public transit, adjacent to
the west at St. Lucie Square. Pedestrian connections will be required
through site development.
Station 6 is located at 350 E. Midway Rd, approximately 2.7 miles travel
distance from the site.
Park & School facilities exist in proximity to the subject site. Concurrency
certification, including Parks & Schools level of service, are being evaluated
further through development review.
Prior to the issuance of any final development order, the developer must demonstrate that all public facilities
are available to serve the parcel and obtain a Certificate of Capacity.
6. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant adverse
impacts on the natural environment;
The change in zoning is not expected to result in significant adverse impacts on the natural environment. The
Environmental Resources Department (ERD) staff will conduct analysis to ensure compliance with the LDC
during development review for the subject site. A Final Report from ERD staff is provided.
7. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would adversely affect the property
values in the area;
The proposed zoning change is not anticipated to adversely affect property values. The Kitterman Oaks
Apartment complex was developed to the south of the subject site, also providing on-site amenities, which has
positively affected property values in the area.

RZ-5201915522
August 2, 2019
Page 6
8. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in an orderly and logical
development pattern specifically identifying any negative effects of such patterns;
The proposed change in zoning is expected to result in an orderly and logical development pattern. The proposed
increase in allowable density will provide capacity for concentration of urban development, in proximity to
commercial sales and services. This may support a greater mix of uses in the area, compelling an increase in
multi-modal activities.
9. 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 amendment is not identified to conflict with the public interest and is in harmony with the purpose
and intent of this code.
The Major Site Plan review process for development of a residential community will further evaluate harmony
with the purpose and intent of this code through site design, residential amenities, and integration of the
proposed residential community with the surrounding neighborhood.
10. 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 and the Board of County Commissioners may raise other matters
regarding this proposed amendment to the Official Zoning Atlas.
Analysis Summary:
Based upon staff analysis contained in this memorandum, the proposed rezoning to RM-9 (Residential,
Multiple-Family– 9 du/ac) for this parcel is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in guiding new
development based upon smart growth, energy-efficient land use patterns and discouraging the proliferation of
urban sprawl. The amendment maintains the concept of concentrating higher development intensities adjacent
to the US 1 corridor, emphasizing availability of urban services to the site.
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING & PUBLIC NOTICE
The applicant has not engaged in a neighborhood meeting regarding the subject petition. Neighborhood
meetings are strongly encouraged, however are not required.
Public notice was provided by a display advertisement in the local newspaper, posting of a sign on the property,
and mailings to owners of property within 500ft. of the site, detailing the proposed petition and associated
public hearing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Commission forward a recommendation for approval of the proposed change in zoning
to the Board of County Commissioners, as the rezoning is consistent with the Standards of Review identified
in Section 11.06.03 of the LDC and the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

Supplement 3
ST LUCIE GARDENS
Rezoning/Amendment to the
Official Zoning Atlas Application Supplement
Refer to St Lucie County Land Development Code (LDC) Section 11.06.00 for details
Current Zoning: RM - 5 Current Future Land Use RM
Proposed Zoning: RM - 9 Acreage Of The Area To Be Rezoned: 9.8 acres
Please provide a written description of the proposed development including statements about:
1. If you are requesting an amendment to the Official Zoning Atlas of St. Lucie County, state whether
the proposed amendment is in conflict with any portions of the LDC.
The RM-5 zoned property lies within the Comprehensive Land Use Residential Medium (RM)
designation which allows multi-family residential development up to 9 dwelling units per acre. The
requested zoning amendment from 5 to 9 dwellings per acre is consistent with the intent of the
Land Use classification for the increase of multi-family residential units. The zoning amendment will
result in a net increase of 39 dwelling units and will not be in conflict with the LDC.
2. Please give a statement describing any changed conditions that would justify a rezoning:
Increased market demand for multi-family residences to counter the increased costs of single-
family home ownership justifies the zoning amendment and additional dwelling units. The current
supply of quality rental product also justifies an increase in units resulting from the zoning change
to meet current and future demand. The community will provide additional dwelling units to
support needed housing for the work force.
3. Please state why there is a need for the proposed rezoning:
The need of additional market rate quality rental housing is the basis for an increase of density.
4. Please state whether and how the proposed rezoning is consistent with the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan:
The proposed zoning is consistent with the site’s Comprehensive Plan Medium Residential
Classification which supports density of 9 dwelling units per acre. Adjacent and nearby property is
currently zoned at 9 dwelling units per acre and establishes the RM-9 zoning district from previous
development plan approvals. The Comprehensive Plan allows increased density within the Urban
Service Boundary when levels of service and capacity are available to service the increased dwelling
units. The proposed rezoning creates no inconsistency to the Comprehensive Plan.
Page 31 of 105
5. Please give a statement outlining the extent to which the proposed amendment:
A) Is compatible with existing land uses
The proposed increase in density is compatible with existing 9 du/ac property south and
across Kitterman Road from the subject site (Kitterman Woods). Another 9 du/ac
community, Vista St Lucie is approximately 2,600 feet south. To the west lies the US 1
general commercial land uses. Vacant 5 du/ac land is immediately adjacent. Savanna Ridge
Elementary is located 2,000 feet away on Kitterman Road.
B) Affects capacities of pubic facilities including transportation, sewage, water supply, park,
drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit and emergency medical services
The net increase of 39 dwellings allowed with the proposed rezoning is not anticipated to
affect any urban services in an adverse way. Per the consulting traffic engineer, levels of
service for Kitterman Road and U.S. 1 will not be affected by the additional trips to create
adverse traffic impact. Sufficient capacity for both water and sewer, and also solid waste,
exists in short and long term planning timeframes.
Stormwater design will provide for detention of 100-year storm events and will outfall to
NSLRWCD ditches and discharge into the North Fork of St. Lucie River. (Refer to Engineering
Plans). Emergency services are located within a 4-mile radius from the site. Recreation is
provided in the proposed community consisting of a swimming pool, tot lot, open grass play
areas, and walking paths.
C) Affects the natural environment
The site has been previously cleared of trees and native upland habitat. A .68 acre impacted
jurisdictional wetland is located in the northern portion of the site.
D) Will result in an orderly and logical development pattern
As the area continues to increase in population this area of medium density residential
zoning of 9 units per acre will provide a logical development pattern. Similar to Kitterman
Woods, St Lucie Gardens will be an orderly progression of quality rental housing with the 9
unit per acre density requested.
E) Will adversely affect the property values in the area.
An increase in values to adjacent properties should result in the rezoning and subsequent
construction of the community.
6. Please explain the applicant's interest in the subject property;
The applicant is the current owner of the subject property and will be involved throughout the
project development.
7. Please include such other information or documentation that may be deemed necessary or
appropriate to a full and proper consideration and disposition of this particular application.
The applicant has experience in developing successful multi-family communities and other projects.
St Lucie Oaks is a nearby example of the applicant’s experience in the development of a multi-
family community.

I.INTRODUCTION
This report and supporting investigations are prepared for the site plan review for St. Lucie
Gardens, a multi-family project proposed for a 9.8 acre property at Kitterman Road, Parcel
ID#3415-501-0016-000-6. This investigation is required in conformity with Section 11.02.09 of
St. Lucie County LDR’s.
II. SITE DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION CONTEXT
The development parcel is a cleared former citrus grove containing a mobile home residence and
and a shed outbuilding, both vacant. The general site context is urban (residential and highway
corridor), though the extensive Savannas system lies just to the east. Immediate adjoining
properties on the north, east and west are presently undeveloped. With the exception of
property-line borders of Brazilian Pepper and oaks, and several scattered oaks within, vegetation
consists of low grasses and herbs, both native and domestic. From frontage at Kitterman Road,
the site is essentially flat for 800 feet northward before sloping gradually downward by 1 – 2 feet
in the northern reach, culminating in a grassy wetland in the northeast quadrant. See Photos.
III. HISTORY
The aerial photo record reveals the site to have been entirely cleared and displaying linear beds
indicative of citrus grove dating back to the 1950’s, if not earlier. By the late 1950’s the grove
appears to be derelict by comparison with nearby groves, which were abundant in the vicinity.
Subsequent photography reveals continuing atrophy of the grove – the northern 1/3 of the site
loses any vestige of grove, active or otherwise, prior to the 1990’s and the last trees disappear
from the southern portion of the site around 2010. Other small agricultural enterprises appear to
have been conducted on the property during recent decades. Periodic mowing and bush-hogging
of the low vegetation is obvious in most photos since the mid-1990’s.
Other verifiable alterations to the site include excavation of a pond in the 1980’s or early 90’s,
and installation of fill in the low northern third of the site sometime after 1970.
IV.SOILS – See Soils Map for the following discussion
The site is underlain by strictly sandy soils, comprising 3 separate soil units per the Natural
Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). Attributes of each unit are briefly summarized in the
following, addressed in order from south to north.
A.Lawnwood /Myakka sands – NRCS describes these soils as poorly drained with high
runoff properties, while also attributing moderate-to-high internal permeability to water.
Texture is fine sand and sandy loam to a depth of 80”, with no restrictive layer in that
span. Wet season water table depth is 6” to 18”; the soil is not characterized as hydric.
Note that relict citrus bedding may affect surface water behavior at times.
B.Waveland/Immokolee sands - NRCS describes these soils as poorly drained with high
runoff properties, while also attributing moderately low-to-high internal permeability to
water. Texture is consistently sand to a depth of 80”, with no restrictive layer in that span.
Page 35 of 105
Wet season water table depth is 6” to 18”; the soil is not characterized as hydric. There is
a possible restrictive layer between 30” and 50”. As above, relict citrus bedding may
affect surface water behavior at times.
C.Riviera fine sand, 0 – 2% slopes – This unit occupies the northern 35% of the
property, and is characterized as hydric in its natural state, with a wet season water table
as shallow as 3”. Though aerial photos in the 1950’s reveal citrus rows in this region of
the property, there appears to have been an abandonment of citrus on this portion of the
site by the 60’s, with a commensurate change in aspect to that of a wet region suggested
by hydric soil (see 1970 aerial). However, the aerial-view character of this region
changes again post-1970; exploratory borings find a layer of spoil across this portion of
the site. Only a small wetland of 0.68 acres remains in the northeast region (see
Wetlands, Section V. below).
V. HABITATS – See FLUCCS Map for the following discussion
A. Uplands – 8.87 acres, FLUCCS 260 = Open Ag Lands. This cover consists of a diverse
roster of grasses and herbs, notably Bahia and St. Augustine Grasses, Crab Grass, Smut
Grass, Wedelia, Dayflower, Tassellflower, and numerous others. Invasive Guinea Grass
(Panicum maximum) dominates uplands in the northwestern uplands (north of pond).
As mentioned above, the uplands are frequently mowed, which perpetuates the low
ground cover. Site uplands do not constitute native habitat, and are not regulated
by the County or other authorities.
B. Wetlands – 0.68 acres, FLUCCS 641 = Freshwater Marsh. This is an on-site reach of a
feature lying mostly off-site to the north and east. The feature lies generally below
elevation 11.9’ NAVD with the NE corner area dropping below 11.0 feet. Vegetation
displays a zonation from a smothering rachis of Barnyard Grass (Echinocloa sp ) at the
periphery, then inward through a similarly dense stand of Torpedo Grass (Panicum
repens). Desirable native vegetation resides mainly in the low interior portion, and
includes Alligator Flag, Swamp Fern, Vasey Grass, Seedbox (Ludwigia) species and
Dog Fennel. Evidence suggests that wet season inundation stages up 10” – 14” in the
lowest region.
Vegetation in this wetland is mowed in the dry season. The resulting accumulated
thatch combines with the sprawling character of Barnyard and Torpedo Grasses to create
an apparent “false bottom” elevated some inches above the mineral substrate across much
of this feature.
A second wetland feature exists for a short distance along the east property line in the
form of a minor sliver just a few feet wide (0.018 acres on site) of a narrow off-site
feature. This feature is characterized by Brazilian Pepper, Swamp Fern, and a few other
species at the foot of an abrupt grade change at the property line, possibly indicating fill
in the distant past.
Page 36 of 105
C. Pond (Other Surface Water), 0.26 acres, FLUCCS 524. This is a roughly rectangular
excavation circa early 1990’s or earlier. At high staging it drains westward via a swale
into a south-draining ditch at the property line. See FLUCCS map and Topographic
Survey.
The state-jurisdictional boundaries of the Wetland and Other Surface Water
feature are declared in attached correspondence from the South Florida Water
Management District.
VI. WILDLIFE, INCL. LISTED SPECIES
The site’s open, mowed uplands, though altered vegetatively from the native condition, may
nonetheless provide habitat for the needs of wildlife species. Obvious usage is by Wild Hog,
detectable via extensive rooted areas, and Cottontail Rabbits, detected via droppings. Turtles and
walking catfish reside in the pond, and other fish and reptiles are likely there but not verified.
Otherwise, a small roster of rare, threatened, and endangered species as declared by the State or
Federal governments also have potential to utilize this property. Reconnaissance for wildlife
has been conducted anecdotally on several occasions in concert with other tasks, and
systematically in May, 2019. Findings regarding listed species are as follows:
Gopher Tortoise – Tortoise scat was observed on one occasion on the jeep track wending north
to the trailer. No tortoise burrows have been found in ground surveys of this property, so it is
likely that an individual resides in the promising habitat (dry flatwoods) to the east and forages
this property on occasion.
Sandhill Crane – A family of Sandhill Crane was once observed foraging on the uplands. They
are believed to nest in wetlands off-site, as no nests are present on this property. Suitable
wetlands for nesting are known to exist nearby within the Kitterman Woods complex, in the
FP&L line corridor to the north, and in open marsh wetlands of the Savannas.
Florida Pine Snake – A single adult Pine Snake was observed in Barnyard Grass rachis in
wetland at the north boundary of this parcel. Typically, Pine Snakes dwell in underground
burrows or near-surface debris cavities, of which this site has few. This individual most likely
resides off-site. However, as with the Indigo Snake, land-clearing personnel should be instructed
in recognition and back-away protocols to prevent harm to any Pine Snake encountered, however
unlikely.
Wading Birds – Wading birds including Woodstork and members of the Egret/Heron suite
likely utilize the pond for foraging at times, though none have been observed. Note that the
wetland, being highly colonized by dense grassy rachis and thatch, presently makes poor
foraging for wading birds.
As an additional note, the nearest documented nests of Bald Eagle are at 1.9 and 2.05 miles
respectively. At these distances, no effect on Bald Eagles is likely from this project.
VII. ECOLOGICAL SITE IMPACTS AND MITIGATION
A. Impacts to Uplands = 8.87 acres±. Conversion of the uplands comprises the bulk of this
project. The grassy-herbaceous vegetation community across the site is not a habitat
protected for habitat’s sake by St. Lucie County or other authorities, subject to
Page 37 of 105
occurrences of listed species addressed above. A final site-wide sweep for tortoise
burrows or other features potentially hosting listed species should be conducted shortly
before ground-breaking.
B. Impacts to Open Water = 0.26 acres±. Elimination of any wildlife support provided by
this small feature should be amply replaced by the proposed stormwater detention lake, at
0.51 acres±.
C. Impacts to Wetlands = 0.13 acres±. Encroachment into the outer reaches (only) of the
primary wetland is proposed. These encroachments will occur in low-quality
Echinocloa-dominated regions at the periphery of the feature. Compensatory mitigation
for these impacts is proposed via purchase of [herbaceous] mitigation credits at Bluefield
Ranch Mitigation Bank. A quantification of the functional loss incurred, and of the
mitigation credit required, will be calculated in coordination with SFWMD permitting.
Wetland habitat loss will also be ameliorated by reduction of Echinocloa and eradication
of exotic Torpedo Grass in the remaining preserved wetland.
It is unclear at this time whether encroachment/elimination of the east-side wetland
fragment is necessary, as it is never more than 6 – 8 feet onto this property. If impact
proves necessary, appropriate compensatory mitigation will be negotiated with SFWMD
if required.

St. Lucie County 1-2 Adopted 4.2.2019 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

Final Report
TO: Kori Benton, Planning & Development Services Department
THROUGH: Ben Balcer, Environmental Regulations Manager
Amy E. Griffin, Environmental Resources Director
FROM: Aimee Cooper, Environmental Planner
DATE: June 12, 2019
SUBJECT: St. Lucie Gardens Apartments Rezone
RZ-5201915522
Background
The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) has completed a review of the May 6, 2019 date-stamped
resubmittal from Planning and Development Services. The applicant is requesting amending the Official Zoning
Atlas of St. Lucie County, requesting to rezone from RM-5 (Residential, Multiple Family-5), five (5) residential
dwellings per one (1) acre, to RM-9 (Residential, Multiple Family-9), nine (9) residential dwellings per one (1) acre.
This requested zoning amendment will result in a net increase of thirty-nine (39) residential dwellings. The
approximately +/- 9.71 acre site is located on the north side of Kitterman Rd., approximately one-quarter mile east
of U.S. 1, with a current street address of 322 Kitterman Rd.
The site is under concurrent review for a major site plan to construct eight (8) two-story apartment buildings
comprising eighty (80) units total, a clubhouse/pool facility, a playground, a covered mail gazebo, and a small two-
story building containing a 1-unit apartment and storage area for a full-time, on-site manager.
Findings
The rezone from RM-5 to RM-9 is not anticipated to result in any adverse environmental impacts. Environmental
impacts are currently under review through the site plan process for a major site plan (MJSP-5201915523) and will
be addressed in a separate memorandum.
Recommendation
ERD supports approval of the rezoning. Please contact Aimee Cooper at 772-462-6440 if you have any questions.
