ANNOUNCEMENTS
Chairman Matthes advised that on Agenda Item # 2, File No. RZ-02-003, he had a conflict of
interest and therefore would recuse himself from that item.
Chairman Matthes gave a brief presentation on the procedures and what to expect for tonight's
meeting. For those of you who have not been here before, The Planning and Zoning Commission
is an agency that makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. The Staff will
present a brief summary of the project and then make their recommendation. After which time,
the Petitioner will be asked to come forward and state his/her case for the requested petition. At
any time the Commission may stop and ask questions of the Petitioner or Staff. After that
process is completed the Chairman will open the public hearing for anyone who wishes to speak
for or against the petition. The purpose behind this hearing is to get input from the general
public. If anyone has something to say, please feel free to come forward and state it. After
everyone has gotten a chance to speak the Chairman will then close the public hearing. The
Commission will deliberate and then make a decision regarding their recommendation, one way
or the other. The decision that is made is typically read from a scripted set of statements that are
given to the Commission. It may sound rehearsed but it really is not. There is one motion for
and one motion against in the package, so that the Commission can make a motion either one
way or the other so it is very clear in the records.
Once again, I want to remind you that the Planning and Zoning Commission only acts in an
advisory capacity for the Board of County Commissioners. If you are not happy with the outcome
of this hearing you will have the opportunity to speak at the public hearing in front of the Board
of County Commissioners.
No other announcements or comments.

AGENDA ITEM 2:CALVARY ASSEMBLY OF GOD -File No. RZ-02-001: ~i`i~i~sl'51~,~?ls~ A~~~a~~
Hank Flores, presenting Staff comments, stated that Agenda Item # 2 was the application of Calvary
Assembly of God of Port St. Lucie, Inc. for a Change in Zoning from the PUD (Planned Unit
Development -Hidden Hammock) Zoning District to the RF (Religious Facilities) Zoning District for
32.75 acres of property located on the north side of Dyer Road, approximately 400 feet east of south U.S.
Highway No. 1. On September 26, 1989, the Board of County Commissioners granted approval for
Hidden Hammock, a 74-lot residential subdivision. On November 20, 1990 cone-year extension was
granted. Subsequent to these approvals, no construction commenced on the subject property and the site
plan expired. In order for any development on the property to take place, a change in zoning to another
zoning district designation is required.
Staff has reviewed this petition and determined that it conforms to the standards of review as set forth in
the Land Development Code and is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff is recommending
that you forward this petition to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation of approval.
Chairman Matthes asked if the petitioner was present. Mr. Bart Cook, Land Planner, Landscape Architect
stated he was the agent for the petitioner, Calvary Assembly of God. He continued that he is there to
answer any questions.
Chairman Matthes opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Tom Mason with South Florida Towing stated that his property is located across the street from the
subject property. He questioned what type of establishment is going to be placed on the property.
Chairman Matthes explained that this is a hearing on the rezoning and that the petitioner will have to
submit a site plan at a later date to be approved. Mr. Flores confirmed that is correct and that the
petitioner hasn't submitted any plans at this time. He continued that if their plans are 6,000 square feet or
more, they are required to go through the site plan process. Mr. Flores advised that the rezoning is done
first and then that gives the petitioner permission to submit a site plan approval for a religious facility. He
further stated that the RF (Religious Facilities) Zoning only allows churches, synagogues, temples and
similar uses. Mr. Mason questioned if the church would be allowed to have a school. Mr. Flores stated
that is a conditional use and they would have to come back before the Commission and Board to get
approval for that type of use.
Chairman Matthes closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Merritt questioned if the County had considered churches when planning future land uses. Mr.
Murphy stated that since 1984, the County restricted churches to the I (Institutional) Zoning District and
around 1990 the RF (Religious Facility) Zoning category was added. RF and I Zoning Districts are not
pre-zoned that way because they are use specific type issues. The County doesn't predetermine where a
church, or church facility should be placed in each individual neighborhood. Mr. Merritt stated that all
other zoning categories are predetermined and questioned why these are not included.
Mr. Hearn stated that after considering the testimony presented during the Public Hearing,
including staff comments, and the Standards of Review as set forth in Section 11.06.03, St. Lucie
County Land Development Code, I hereby move that the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommend that the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners grant approval to the
application of Calvary Assembly of God of Port St. Lucie, Inc. for a Change in Zoning from the
PUD (Planned Unit Development -Hidden Hammock) Zoning District to the RF (Religious
Facilities) Zoning District, because it seems like it fits well in the neighborhood and there are no

Mr. Murphy explained Agenda Items # 3 & 4 were presented to the Commission at,the December 20,
2001 Planning and Zoning Meeting and were continued until this meeting to allow for further review by
the petitioners and Staff. He continued that the petitioner has requested that both Agenda Items be
continued once again to the April 18, 2002 Planning and Zoning meeting.
Staff recommended that Agenda Items # 3 & 4 both be continued until April 18 at 7:00 p.m. or as soon
thereafter as possible. He explained that each hearing would need to be reopened and continued
individually.
Chairman Matthes asked if there was anyone there to speak regarding these petitions (other -than the
petitioner). Chairman Matthes stated that Staff might want to consider re-advertising these items so that
the public will be aware of when the items will be reheard since this is second continuation. Mr. Merritt
questioned if this was at the request of the petitioner. Mr. Murphy explained that was correct.
Chairman Matthes opened the Public Hearing.

AGENDA ITEM 5: ORDINANCE 02-001- Amending Section 7.09.00, Landscaping and Screening
Mr. Dennis Murphy, Assistant Community Development Director, stated that Agenda Item # 5 was to
consider Draft Ordinance 02-001 amending the St. Lucie County Land Development Code by amending
Section 7.09.03(e)(2)(f) Landscaping and Screening, to add Cattley Guava, Common Guava, Loquat,
Surinam Cherry and Rose Apple to the list of trees and plants that shall not be planted in St. Lucie
County. The County has been requested by the Indian River Citrus League to add these listed plants to
the portion of the County's Land Development Code that addresses exotic or pest type of trees and plants.
The reason cited for this request is the fact the listed trees are considered to be host plants for the
Caribbean Fruit Fly, which poses a significant threat to the local areas citrus crops. He continued that
Indian River County, to the north, has enacted a similar restriction and that Martin County has also been
approached regarding the same issue.
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission /Local Planning Agency forward to the
Board of County Commissioners a recommendation that Draft Ordinance 02-001, propose to amend
Section 7.09.03(e)(2)(f) of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, Landscaping and Screening, to
add Cattley Guava, Common Guava, Loquat, Surinam Cherry and Rose Apple to the list of trees and
plants that shall not be planted in St. Lucie County, be approved.
Mr. Merritt questioned who determined that Guava is exotic. Mr. Murphy explained that the list of plants
provided were considered to be host plants for pests that pose a threat to the local citrus crops. Mr.
Murphy explained that these are not necessarily "exotic" but they don't have another category to place
them in to restrict them.
Chairman Matthes opened the Public Hearing. Seeing no one, Chairman Matthes closed the Public
Hearing.
Mr. Lounds stated that he feels there is some validity to the request because of the threat posed by the
Caribbean Fruit Fly but he stated that groves are akeady governed by rules to certify them as being "fly
free". He continued that there are already restrictions on most of these plants/trees on how far they can be
from a grove. He also stated that there aze others in the County that are not within a certain radius of a
grove and therefore not affected by these rules and should have the right to grow these items if they
choose. Some of the plants in the original section are exotics and have a tendency to overrun planted
azeas, such as Australian Pine and Brazilian Pepper. He continued that he doesn't feel that the Guava's
should be compared to these types of items and that this item is being motivated by one pazticulaz
organization and they have other existing options available to assist them. He stated that there aze plenty
of other ways for the groves to be certified fly free and it is not for all citrus, only for the fresh fruit
business being exported to Japan.
Mr. Merritt questioned if anyone knows what the distance requirement is for a guava tree to a grove. At
this point, several members of the audience wished to speak.
Chairman Matthes reopened the Public Hearing.
Mr. Ray Chandler stated he works in the citrus industry and says that the distance requirements vary
depending on the season. He continued that Guava is a major problem with the Caribbean Fruit Fly and it
costs groves a great expense to trap them so that they can be certified as fly free. He also stated that the
citrus industry is hurting, but they do a lot of exporting to Japan. A lot of the money made here in St.
Lucie County comes from the groves and the packing facilities in the area. The more money that they
have to spend on preparation for export means less revenue to spend in St. Lucie County. Chairman

Matthes asked Mr. Chandler if he understands that this ordinance will prohibit everyone in St. Lucie
County from planting these items, not just those within regulated areas from groves. Mr. Chandler stated
that being in the citrus business he feels that it would be better if no one planted them. Mr. Jones asked
Mr. Chandler if he felt the primary problem with Guavas was from native or ones that individual people
have planted. Mr. Chandler stated that both of them are problems. Mr. Lounds asked Mr. Chandler when
the fly free time was. Mr. Chandler stated that it starts when they begin shipping into Japan and continues
until all packing is finished. Mr. Lounds asked when Guavas bloom and Mr. Chandler stated he was not
sure. Mr. Lounds continued that when Guavas are in bloom there are no grapefruit and the fruit is the
host of the tree. He stated that there is a trapping program in Florida and there are no Mediterranean or
Caribbean Fruit Flies in Florida. Mr. Chandler stated that he feels that is incorrect because they have
been trapping Mediterranean Flies over the years. He continued that flies have the ability to fly a long
distance and could pose a great risk. Mr. Merritt questioned the existing program used by the citrus
industry to eliminate the problem. Mr. Chandler stated that there is a program supplied by the County but
most grove owners take care of it themselves. Mr. Lounds stated that there is the need for the citrus
industry to be able to expand their marketplace but doesn't feel that anyone who may have these
trees/plants outside of a three mile radius of a grove would be a threat. Mr. Trias questioned if this
ordinance would apply to the city and Chairman Matthes stated he did not believe so.
Mr. Jim Andrews, Vero Beach Citrus stated that he has been in the citrus industry for 22 years. He
continued that he feels the flies are a major problem to their business. He also said that for four months
during the summer they spend approximately seven to ten hours a day locating host plants.
Seeing no one else, Chairman Matthes closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Lounds asked if the ordinance would require Countywide removal of these trees/plants as well as no
new ones being planted. Mr. Murphy explained that this ordinance would only apply from the approval
date forward. He continued that the County does not have a program to go out and eradicate existing
exotics.
Mr. McCurdy moved to recommend approval of Ordinance 02-001. Motion seconded by Mr.
Hearn.
Mr. Lounds asked Staff if this ordinance would have to have a decision tonight. Mr. Murphy explained
he is not. aware of any time restraints. Mr. Lounds asked if a continuation for further discussion could be
done. Ms. Young stated that it would to go the Board with their vote but no recommendation. Mr.
Merritt stated that he felt if this ordinance were apply to specific zoning districts instead of to the entire
County it would have received more support.
Upon a roll call vote the motion received a vote of 4-4 (with Mr. Jones, Mr. Merritt, Mr. Lounds
and Mr. Matthes voting against) and forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners.

AGENDA ITEM 6:ORDINANCE 02-005 -Creating Section 13.09.00, Property Maintenance Code:
Mr. Dennis Murphy, Assistant Community Development Director, advised that Agenda Item # 6 is to
consider Draft Ordinance 02-005 (previously Ordinance 01-006) Amending the St. Lucie County Land
Development Code by Creating Section 13.09.00, Existing Property Maintenance Code, to provide for
adoption of Chapter 3, General Requirements, of The 2000 International Property Maintenance Code. As
the Commission is aware, the County Commission has for the past several months been very interested in
bringing forward regulations and standards that would compel property owners throughout the
unincorporated area of the County to keep the buildings and structures on their property in good
condition. Draft Ordinance 01-006 was significantly re-crafted and is now reflected within Ordinance 02-
005 to pattern itself after the 2000 International Property Maintenance Code. This is one of the series of
standard building codes that exists throughout the Country. There are a number of subsections located in
the Chapter that the County is not enforcing and applying because most them are already covered under
existing regulations.
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission /Local Planning Agency forward to the
Board of County Commissioners a recommendation that Draft Ordinance 02-005, which would propose
to amend Chapter 13 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code by creating Section 13.09.00,
Existing Property Maintenance Code, which will provide for the adoption of Chapter 3, General
Requirements, of The 2000 International Property Maintenance Code, be approved.
Mr. Hearn questioned the deleted sections and stated that the language used in the International Code
would add to our existing codes as reinforcement, especially the sections that pertain to motor vehicles in
:residential areas. He also questioned why there was nothing in regards to unoccupied buildings in this
draft.
Mr. McCurdy stated that Section 303.2, Protective Treatment, specifically "oxidation stains on exterior
surfaces" might not be enforceable because of the way the water is in the County.
Mr. Jones stated that he felt there were numerous problems with this ordinance and would not be able to
support it. He continued that he is not against the concept of maintaining property, but he felt there were
problems with the specifics of it. He also stated that he felt this code is structured towards areas that are a
more urban setting than our county is.
He stated that Section 302.2, Grading and Drainage, with its current wording, sounds like it would require
the draining of wetlands.
Section 302.5, Rodent harborage, would affect any property with squirrels because they are considered to
be rodents. He also stated that any type of agricultural property would have a problem getting rid of all of
the mice and rats that may be living in their fields. He stated that he agrees that the section pertaining to
motor vehicles should remain excluded because it could affect those who rebuild vehicles as a hobby.
Section 303.2, Protective Treatment, regarding the peeling, flaking and chipped paint leaves too much up
to judgment and could prove to be a hardship on people during certain periods of time.
He continued that Section 303.7, Roofs and drainage, and Section 303.13.2, Openable windows, could
become an issue if someone is reviewing every time there may be a small leak in a roof or a window that
may not open easily and could also prove to be a hardship issue under certain circumstances.
Chairman Matthes opened the Public Hearing.

Mr. Harry Lamb, 2328 Oak Drive, North Beach stated he felt that he was not given the materials needed
to make proper comments when he has never seen the ordinance before tonight. Chairman Matthes
explained that all items were advertised in local newspapers and the public had the right to come into the
department at any time and get copies of the ordinances for their review. He-also stated that the Staff,
Commission and Board have been trying to get this type of ordinance passed for almost a year now and
on numerous occasions citizens have attended and given their feedback after coming in and reviewing the
ordinances.
Mr. Bill Wilson stated that he just wanted to confirm that there is already an existing ordinance on record
regarding weeds and rubbish and garbage since those sections are not being adopted from the
International Code. The Staff confirmed that is correct.
Ms. Lee Primerano, River Park Homeowners Association questioned if there is any assistance available
for the elderly, physically and financially who are unable to comply with this ordinance. Ms. Young
stated that there is a small program available through grant monies with a contract with Habitat for
Humanity to allow for repairs affecting life safety in homes.
Mr. Bill Gessner of North Beach stated that his major concern is regarding landlords who don't maintain
their property. Ms. Young stated that Section 301.2 does state that the owner of the premises is
responsible for the maintenance of the structures and exterior property; the occupant is only responsible
for the dwelling unit that they occupy and control.
Ms. Shirley Burlingham, North Beach Homeowners Association, stated that she feels the International
Code is a good idea. • She continued that there are some areas in the County that are in desperate need of
this type of ordinance as soon as possible.
Chairman Matthes closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Jones stated that he would be more supportive of this ordinance if it were to apply to rental properties
and properties that are less than five acres on a countywide basis to alleviate any problems with the
agricultural .communities. He also stated that he felt his. previous comments regarding grading and
drainage and the other issues needed to be addressed but he would otherwise support this ordinance.
Chairman Matthes stated he felt the grading and drainage section should just be removed completely.
Mr. Lounds stated that this ordinance is needed to allow Code Enforcement the ability to address certain
issues. He continued that if a property is not maintained and takes away from the surrounding property
values then the property owner is in error but rentals should be addressed differently. He stated that he
wants to make sure to address absentee owners to make sure they are providing the proper standards of
living within rental properties. He also stated it would be best to make sure that if it is not in a lease
between the renter and property owner regarding outside maintenance that the landowner is taking
responsibility for their maintenance duties.
Mr. Trias asked how this ordinance, if passed, would be enforced. Mr. Murphy stated that Code
Enforcement usually responds on acomplaint-by-complaint basis unless in key observance of a clear life
safety or health safety issue. He continued that general practice is to make contact with the
owners/occupants of the property and advise them of the problems and direct a corrective action. If they
fail to comply with the directive appropriate enforcement proceedings are initiated. Mr. Merritt stated
that he wanted to thank Staff for cleaning up the house in White City and the other one moved. Mr.
Murphy stated he would relay the thanks to the proper people.

Mr. Hearn stated that he would ask that the language from the original draft ordinance 01-006 Section 1-
16.1-9, Vacant buildings, given to the Commission in the May 17, 2001 packets be added to this
ordinance. "The owner of a vacated building, whether a dwelling unit, business premises, or accessory
structure, shall take such steps and perform such acts as may be required of him from time to time to
insure that the building and its adjoining yards remain safe, secure, clean and sanitary, and do not present
a hazard to adjoining property or to the public. All openings, including doors and windows, which are
covered or closed for access shall be provided with painted exterior-grade plywood closures, matched in
color to the building, unless the same are provided with awnings, storm panels, or other similar
commercially available products designed for this intended use and installed in a workmanlike manner."
Chairman Matthes asked if he wanted this to replace section 301.3 or to add this language to it. Mr.
Hearn stated he would like this in addition to what is currently written. Mr. McCurdy stated that he
believed that they previously had a discussion regarding storm damage. Ms. Young stated that section
301.3 does address vacant structures but doesn't have the wording regarding matching colors. She
continued that in order to add the language from the previous draft ordinance they would have to make a
future amendment due to the specific wording of this ordinance and the International Code. Mr. Hearn
stated that he felt the way the current section is worded could cause some interpretation issues. Mr. Akins
asked if this ordinance is adopted, wouldn't another ad have to be placed regarding the amendment. Ms.
Young confirmed that would be correct and the best way would be to approve the ordinance the way it is
currently worded and request an amendment at a later date.
Mr. Jones stated that he felt since this ordinance will affect every piece of property located in St. Lucie
County the changes and amendments should be made prior to any recommendation from the Commission.
Mr. Jones stated that after considering the testimony presented during the Public Hearing,
including staff comments, I hereby move that no action be taken at this time regarding Ordinance
02-005 and it be rewritten to address the comments of the Commission then brought back before
the Planning and Zoning Commission As Soon As Possible.
Motion seconded by Mr. Hearn
Upon a roll call vote the motion passed unanimously (with a vote of 8-0) and will be brought back
before the Planning and Zoning Commission with revisions as soon as possible.

AGENDA ITEM 7: ORDINANCE 02-009 -Amending Section 8.00.03 - Temporary Uses /Boats:
Dennis Murphy, Assistant Community Development Director, stated Agenda Item # 7 was to consider
Draft Ordinance 02-009, which would propose to amend Section 8.00.03 of the St. Lucie County Land
Development Code, to permit the storage of one piece of recreational equipment in a front yard. on a
paved surface for properties located in the unincorporated areas of the County. As the Commission is
aware, the Board of County Commissioners has for the past several months been interested in bringing
forward regulations and standards that would permit a property owner to store one piece of recreational
equipment, as defined in the code, in a front yard provided that the equipment was located on a paved
surface. These regulations are intended to apply to those parts of the County that are not otherwise
restricted by private deed restrictions or covenants. These regulations also establish a maximum number
of three (3) pieces of recreational equipment, including the one (1) recreational vehicle allowed in the
front yard, that may be stored on a parcel up to one acre in size. This limitation does not apply to
recreational vehicles stored in enclosed structures.
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission /Local Planning Agency forward to the
Board of County Commissioners a recommendation on Draft Ordinance 02-009, which will permit the
storage of one piece of recreational equipment in a front yard on a paved surface for properties located in
the unincorporated areas of the County.
Mr. Hearn asked if the Board of County Commissioners are in favor of this ordinance. Mr. Murphy
explained that the Board was interested in bringing this forward through the public hearing process and
the Board has not given any indication, on way or the other, regarding this ordinance. Mr. Akins
questioned if the implementation of this ordinance would affect any existing restrictions by homeowners
associations. Ms. Mackenzie-Smith stated that on page 5 of the draft ordinance it specifically points out
that this would not affect any prior deed restrictions that are more restrictive.
Chairman Matthes opened the Public Hearing.
Mr. David Tillman, 5407 Palm Drive, stated that he has lived here for almost 50 years and that this is the
only area with the current restriction. He also stated that he was speaking on behalf of the Fort Pierce
Sport Fishing Club. He continued that Martin and Indian River County, City of Fort Pierce and City of
Port St. Lucie do not have the current type of restrictions there, only the unincorporated areas of St. Lucie
County. He stated that having the equipment on paved surfaces is an asset because if there are any leaks
or anything, they can be seen. If the equipment is on the grass, it is not easily seen.
He stated that per the National Marine Industries Association, St. Lucie County, as of 1999, has 11,000
vessels registered and 85% of those are boats on trailers, which mean approximately 9,350 boats, are kept
at home. He continued that not changing this ordinance would affect the dealers and manufacturers of the
area. He also stated that the economic impact of the marine industry in the State of Florida is 14.1 billion
dollars. He questioned why the County allows as many registered vehicles in their driveway as they want
to but cannot put a boat in the driveway under the argument of child safety when boats are usually jacked
up into the air to allow for drainage. He continued that having four (4) sport utility vehicles in his
driveway that cannot be seen around is legal but a boat, on its trailer, which can be seen under is not
allowed.
Mr. Hearn asked how many of the boats that are on trailers are affected by the existing ordinance and
cannot get them in the backyard. Mr. Tillman stated that he would guess approximately 1/3 of them may
be affected.

Mr. Bob Hancock, a St. Lucie County resident for almost seventeen (17) years read a paragrap~'i
from e
Florida Recreational Salt Water Fishing Regulations, July 2001 issue. "723 of the 4,549 world records
are from Florida as listed by the International Game Fish Association. This is far greater than any other
state or country. Florida ranks first (1 S`) for the number of people who fish in salt water - 2,255,171.
This is more than double any other state in the United States. Florida ranks first (1S`) in the country for
the number of days anglers spend fishing in salt water. 25,139,988, this too is more than double any other
state in the U.S. Over three (3) times more non-residential angler trips were taken in Florida than any
other state - 2.8 million. Florida ranks first (ls`) in the country in boating purchases, such as boats, 760
million, outboard motors 404,522,000, boat trailers 23,584,000 and miscellaneous marine accessories
221,479. Florida has over 2,100 marinas ranking it number one (1) in the country. "
Mr. Charlie Myers, 7104 Eden Road, Lakewood Park, said that he has been there since June 1974. He
stated that he could not put a boat in his side yard because he has trees planted there and would be
encroaching on his neighbors property. He continued that he has been having problems with the existing
ordinance since 1998 and has been trying to change it. He stated that Dennis Bunt gave him a copy of
4,300 complaints that they received about Code Enforcement issues just in Lakewood Park in the past
eight (8) months. He advised that he chose Lakewood Park because it wasn't a deed restricted or gated
community. He stated that he felt this new ordinance would be a fair compromise for everyone. Mr.
Lounds asked Mr. Myers if he had a pad for his boat and Mr. Myers replied that he has a double wide
concrete driveway.
Mr. Brian Combs stated he lives on Atlantic Beach Boulevard, North Beach and previously lived in
Lakewood Park for twenty years. He stated that boat owners pay more taxes than non-boat owners. They
pay taxes on the boat purchase and registration, trailer purchase and registration, bait, tackle and gas. He
continued that most homeowners do not have the ability to get their boat and trailer in the backyard. He
also said that having a boat in the side or back yard, on the grass, kills it and with the swales, it is difficult
to get a boat over those. He stated that he felt that the Homeowners Associations speak for themselves
and not for the actual homeowners. He questioned the portion of the ordinance regarding more restrictive
communities and Ms. Mackenzie-Smith explained that was in reference to deed-restrictions. He also
. stated that he has a six (6) inch thick, 75-foot concrete driveway that he is not currently allowed to place
his boat upon.
Mr. Keith Prosky, Lakewood Park resident, stated that it would not be possible for him to get a boat in his
backyard like many others in the area. He also stated that he did not feel it was fair to tell those that don't
have any possible way to get a boat in their yard, that they cannot own one, because they aren't allowed to
put it in the front on the driveway.
Ms. Lee Primerano, River Park Homeowners Association stated they were concerned about the number of
total items would be allowed in the front yard. Ms. Mackenzie-Smith explained that the term being used
in the ordinance is recreational equipment and would allow one (1) on a paved surface, in the front yard
along with the new restriction of a maximum of three (3) pieces of equipment on the property all together.
Under the current ordinance, you may have as many as you want on the property in the back yard. Ms.
Primerano also stated that she feels there may be a visibility issue (especially for home in River Park) for
people backing out. She continued that having that much paved area in a front yard cuts down on the
amount of water that can absorbed therefore increasing storm water run off. She also questioned if there
is any way to keep people from parking their recreational equipment in their driveways and then parking
their vehicles on the grass to avoid adding a secondary paved surface.
Mr. Billy Brown of Indian River Estates stated that it is not possible for him to place his boat on the side
or back of his home and if this ordinance were not approved, he would have to sell his boat. He stated

that with the oak trees in his yard and the size of his lot, he would not be able to place the boat on the side
of his house without ending up on the neighbors property line. He continued that he dcesn't have any
problems with keeping the boat on a paved surface in the front of his home. He stated that he feels having
the boat shows his progress in life.
Mr. Bill Wilson, a Port St. Lucie resident stated that the city does have specific ordinances governing
recreational equipment. He continued that they must be parked in the driveway or ten (10) feet inside the
rear yard. He questioned if this ordinance would include motor homes. Ms. Mackenzie-Smith explained
that it does. He stated that he feels parking these types of equipment in the front of the home does detract
from the property values and that is why a lot of homeowners associations and condominium associations
have banned this type of equipment all together. Chairman Matthes asked if his issue is with all
recreational equipment or just motor homes. Mr. Wilson stated that he doesn't feel that anything should
be parked in the front yard. Chairman Matthes stated that he resides in the city of Port St. Lucie and they
allow it. Mr. Wilson stated that the city states it has to be in the driveway or to the right hand side of the
house. Chairman Matthes explained that this ordinance is suggesting they be pazked on a paved surface,
not in the grass of the front yard. Ms. Mackenzie-Smith did confirm that the intent of the ordinance is
that the recreational equipment must be on a paved surface perpendicular to the roadway.
Ms. Vickie Tillman stated that she and her husband Bud Tillman own St. Lucie Outboard Marine and
have been in the county since 1956. She stated that she would like to see this ordinance be forwarded to
the Commission with a recommendation of approval because they feel it will greatly affect their business
because they sell trailerable boats up to thirty (30) feet. She also stated that there are two (2) major trailer
companies in the azea and they utilize their trailers and products greatly and this would affect all of them,
Mr. McCurdy asked Ms. Tillman if a trailer would make atwenty-five (25) foot boat exceed the
ordinance. maximum of twenty-six (26) feet. Ms. Tilhnan stated that she believed atwenty-five (25) foot
boat on a trailer would most likely measure thirty feet (30) in length. Chairman Matthes asked staff if
"recreational equipment less than twenty-six feet (26) in length" would actually include the trailer. Ms.
Mackenzie-Smith stated that it includes the phrase, "items on trailers" to treat them as one under defined
terms on page three (3).
Mr. Skip Lashon, Sales Director for Maverick Boat Company stated that marine manufacturing is also a
lazge part of the community. He continued that his company builds about sixteen (16) different model
boats, twenty-four (24) feet and under that are all trailerable. They employ one hundred seventy (170)
people, maintain fifty-two (52) marine retailers azound the country and their third largest dealer is located
in Stuart and approximately 80% of the units he sells are to those in St. Lucie County. He stated that he
feels this new ordinance is very important and can affect the sales of boats in the county.
Ms. Nancy Spalding, Coral Cove Homeowners Association, stated that she would like to see the existing
ordinance remain the same. She continued that the City of Ft. Pierce has done a great job keeping their
communities looking great and feels this ordinance will not do that for their communities on North Beach.
She also stated that she is concerned with the aesthetics of the community and she feels having
recreational equipment in .the front of the property will decrease property values. Chairman Matthes
asked Mr. Trial what the City's policy is and Mr. Trial explained that their ordinances are- very
compazable to the new ordinance that has been presented here tonight.
Mr. Jim Andrews, Lakewood Pazk resident stated he has a 24-1/z foot boat and does not have the ability to
place it on either side of his home. He said that he was concerned about the children that will be affected
by this because the cost of docking a boat in a marina is quite high and the hours of operation can be
difficult if you don't work a standard 9=5 shift. If the boat were at your home, the time of night that you
take it out would not be an issue. Mr. Lounds asked Mr. Andrews if his boat was on a paved surface and

he stated that he has it on his concrete double driveway. Mr. McCurdy stated that he would not be in
compliance with the ordinance due to the length of the boat and the trailer. Mr. Andrews confirmed that
is correct.
Mr. Ed Lewis, 3111 Sunrise Boulevard stated that his family has been living here for many generations
and there are no vehicles as beautiful as a boat. He also stated that his sod is completely dead on the side
of his house where he has had his sea craft parked and he feels the boat would look much better sitting in
the front of the house instead of having dead grass. He continued that the grass in his backyard would
never be able to support the weight of the boat, especially during the rainy season and would most likely
end up stuck because of it.
Mr. Bob Brian stated he has lived in Indian River Estates for twenty-seven (27) years and that having his
boat on the side of his property tears up the grass and leaves ruts in the ground. He continued that he
doesn't feel the length should be an issue. He suggested rewording it to the trailer tongue having to be
back off the property line five feet instead of how long the boat is once it is on a trailer.
Mr. Bob Bangert of Holiday Pines Homeowners Association stated that he has owned a boat himself for
many years and is not against it, his concern is where the boat is stored. He advised that he would not
consider most of St. Lucie County fishing communities and a large percentage of the boats manufactured
in the county aze actually shipped out of the county. He also stated that fishing tournaments do bring a lot
of money into the county but he dossn't feel that has anything to do with where a boat is stored. He
continued that Commissioner Barnes requested the revision of the ordinance because the present
ordinance puts too much of a load on Code Enforcement. He also stated that the Code Enforcement
"Board stated that they wanted to leave the existing ordinance the way that it is. He then showed some
poster boards to the Commission that -had pictures showing boats, motor homes and RV's in the
driveway. He asked if work trailers aze included under this ordinance. Chairman Matthes stated that he
didn't believe work trailers were categorized as being "recreational equipment". He then stated that he
feels if someone can afford a $33,000 boat, they should be able to afford $20 to $25 a month to store it
instead of having it in their front yazd.
He questioned if there aze any restrictions to moving vehicles onto the grass so they can put the
equipment in the driveway. Ms. Mackenzie-Smith stated that there are no ordinances right now that
restrict them from parking on their lawn if they want to, so this ordinance wouldn't stop them either. He
gave a photo to the Commission and Staff showing a -large motor home in a driveway and stated there is
no way to legally pazk items of this size in a fifty foot driveway if they have to be ten feet off the property
line given the existing right-of--ways. He stated he is also concerned with the decreased visibility with an
item of this size in the driveway and the ability to stop a motor vehicle fast enough to avoid hitting a
child. Chairman Matthes stated that usually if a driver is obeying the speed limit in those residential
communities they should be able to stop. He also stated that he is not aware of any homeowner's group
who support this ordinance revision, except possibly St. Lucie Village. He continued that there maybe a
lot of boat owners in the county, but he doesn't feel they would represent over 10% of the total residents.
The population of St. Lucie County, as of the last census was 192,695 and if approximately 9,000 of them
own a boat, that is less than 10%. _
Mr. Lounds stated that he dossn't feel that everyone that makes up the population owns a lot and he
continued that this new ordinance actually addresses many of the issues shown in the photographs and
they show there is a need for this. Mr. Akins also explained that this ordinance would not affect those in
deed-restricted communities.
Mr. Ray Shepard, 5200 Eagle Drive in Holiday Pines stated that he has lived in Fort Pierce for forty-five

years and stores his motor home for $35 a month. He stated that when they bought th ~Gper~y m
Holiday Pines, they asked about overnight loading and unloading his motor home and they advised him
there was no problem with that even though it is deed-restricted from keeping them there. He continued
that there are people in the community who call Code Enforcement the minute he leaves to say he is in
violation and he has been cited several times because of it. He stated loading and unloading a motor
home does take some time and according to the County Commissioners, the minute the motor home is
turned off, it is considered being stored, therefore making him in violation. He continued that his motor
home is thirty-four feet long and would not allow him to store it in his driveway anyway under this
ordinance, but he would like to see something specifying a time for overnight loading and unloading.
Mr. Richard Crew, Indian River Estates, stated he has afourteen-foot boat and was cited back in
September for having it in his driveway. He continued that the reason for that is because he is
handicapped and it is virtually impossible for him to try to work with it in the side yard when he takes it
out everyday and wants the existing ordinance changed.
NIr. Bill Adams of Holiday Pines stated that he searched for adeed-restricted community that controlled
specific elements of the area. He questioned if this ordinance only applies to those parts of the county
that are not otherwise restricted by private deed restrictions.
Mr. Bobby Carton stated he lives at 5106 Palm Drive in Indian River Estates and that his homeowners
association does not speak for him. He continued that he is in favor of the new ordinance and that those
who are not and do not reside in deed-restricted communities should not have the right to restrict them.
He stated that his would like to see a small revision that states the equipment must have current
registrations in order to keep them in the front of the house.
Mr. David Weeks stated that he lives on a corner lot and has no side yazd to park his boat in. He also
advised that the size of the lot and the trees do not enable him to put it in the backyazd. He continued that
he is in favor of this ordinance and stated that he felt there are many other aesthetic problem azeas in the
county that are more important for cleaning up the area than a boat in the front yazd. He stated that he
chose not to live in adeed-restricted area because he didn't like the extra restrictions and to have a small
boat in his yard is his idea of the American dream.
Mr. Robin Thorne stated he has owned a home in Lakewood Pazk for the last sixteen years and has a boat
on a trailer in his doublewide driveway. He continued that there is no physical way for him to move the
boat on the grass to the side of his home and if the ordinance remains the way it is, he would probably
have to get rid of his boat so he is not in non-compliance.
Mr. Ken Irish, 355 South Ocean Drive, stated that he feels the taxpayer should have the right to park their
recreational equipment in their own yard on their property if they wish to. He continued that these types
of equipment keep a lot of kids occupied in their free time, therefore keeping them away from drugs and
other illegal activities. He also stated that if they chose to live in adeed-restricted community that
dcesn't allow these things, that is their choice, but he doesn't feel they shouldn't place their views and
restrictions on those outside of that deed-restricted community. He asked if this ordinance would apply to
someone who owns over an acre of land. Ms. Mackenzie-Smith explained that there is an exception to
the ordinance that if you own more than an acre and keep the equipment at least one hundred feet (100)
back from the street frontage, then you aze in compliance.
Seeing no one else, Chairman Matthes closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. McCurdy asked Staff how the twenty-six foot (26) length was decided and what was the intent

behind that specific number. Ms. Mackenzie-Smith explained that it was a compromise, originally when
first drafted there was no length restriction, but there were some requests to add a length restriction so
there weren't fifty-foot RV's in front of the standard size home. She continued that there is also a height
restriction so that the equipment isn't taller than the home. Mr. McCurdy asked if the length restrictions
were due to safety concerns and Ms. Mackenzie-Smith stated it was safety, aesthetics and comparison to
similar ordinances around the state. She also stated they added the minimum five foot (5) setback to
allow for safety and sight. Mr. Merritt questioned what the restrictions are on the current ordinance. Ms.
Mackenzie-Smith stated it does not allow any boat in the front yard; they must be in the side or back yard
and does allow for as many as you want on the property. Mr. Jones stated that he felt it would be easier to
enforce this new ordinance if the length specifications were regarding the actual boat length, not including
the trailer and keep the setback the same. Ms. Mackenzie-Smith explained that Code Enforcement felt it
was enforceable keeping the trailer and boat as one item in regards to the length restriction. Mr. McCurdy
stated that the length, on a trailer, could vary tremendously depending on how the boat is placed. Mr.
Lounds stated he felt it would be best to eliminate the length restriction and focus on the setback. Ms.
Mackenzie-Smith stated that most self-propelled motor homes are over the twenty-six feet length.
Mr. Lounds stated that someone made a comment about adding text regarding unregistered vehicles and
he found that there is already a provision for that in the ordinance. Ms. Mackenzie-Smith verified that was
correct and that there is also a provision in paragraph seven (7) stating they cannot be inoperable.
Mr. Hearn questioned if the present code allows for any hardship relief. Ms. Mackenzie-Smith stated
there is nothing in the existing code. Mr. Hearn asked if they might go to the Board of Adjustment for
some help. Mr. Murphy explained that the Board of Adjustment is limited in its authority and granting
waivers and relief are usually based on dimensional standards, not use standards. Mr. Hearn stated that if
this ordinance were passed they would need to address Section 8.00.02, Dimension and Location
Regulations of the Land Development code and change the language in Section A dealing with accessory
structures and uses in the front yard. Mr. Murphy stated they would review it and see if it may cause
conflict. Mr. Hearn stated that he felt this might be something that the Board of County Commissioners
may want to leave up to the voters to decide.
Mr. Akins questioned the enforceability by the Code Enforcement department and how they will handle
these types of violations. Mr. Murphy explained that they usually handle violations on a complaint basis;
if they receive one, they will take the appropriate measurements and verify if it exceeds the measurement
restrictions or setback issues, then any appropriate violation notices would be issued, if necessary.
Mr. Merritt questioned if page 4, Section F, number 2, regarding parking at least one hundred (100) feet
from any public street would also apply to those living in Indian River Estates because the lots are only
85x100. Mr. Murphy explained that provision is in regards to lots over one (1) acre. Mr. Merritt stated
that he felt it needed to be reworded to be clearer.
Mr. Lounds stated that after considering the testimony presented during the Public Hearing,
including staff comments, I hereby move that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend
the St. Lucie County_Board of County Commissioners grant approval to Ordinance 02-009 with
several provisions: drop length of the vehicle in lieu of either a five (5) or eight (8) foot setback and
add the word "functional" to # 5 and # 6.
Motion seconded by Mr. Jones.
Mr. McCurdy stated that Section F, # 1, should have a provision added to allow a 24-hour period for
loading and unloading purposes. Mr. Lounds stated he would not have a problem adding that to his

motion, however, he does not want it to offset any pre-existing deed-restrictions. He continued that he
does agree there does need to be a provision to allow time (24 or 48 hours) for loading and unloading of
any recreational equipment on a paved surface. He also stated that he felt the five (5) foot setback was
too close to the street and he would be more comfortable with an eight (8) foot setback. Mr. Merritt
stated that changing the setback to eight (8) feet would cause a hardship for those living in Indian River
Estates and he would rather leave it at five (5) feet. Mr. Lounds stated he personally feels that five (5)
feet is too close to the property line but would yield to the discussion of the Commission and Staf£ Mr.
Hearn stated that he agreed with Mr. Lounds and would rather have the eight (8) foot setback. Mr.
Lounds stated that he would support the five (5) foot setback, but he just personally feels it would be a
little better to have eight (8) feet. Mr. Jones stated that he does not agree with not allowing them to park
on a non-paved surface for forty-eight (48) hours. Chairman Matthes stated he personally would not want
them parking on the grass and would prefer it remain on a paved surface.
Mr. Lounds restated his motion to read that the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommend to the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners that they grant
approval to Draft Ordinance 02-009 with several amendments:
1. drop the length of the vehicle (referenced in paragraph F(1)) in lieu of maintaining a
minimum five (5) foot setback, and;
2. add the word "functional" in front of the word "equipment" to paragraphs F(5),
F(~ and F(7), and;
3. add a new section that would allow for aforty-eight (48) hour grace period for the
purpose of maintaining, loading and unloading any recreational equipment as long
as on a paved surface.
Motion seconded by Mr. Jones.
Upon a roll call vote the motion passed with a vote of 7-1 (with Mr. Hearn voting against)
and forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation for
approval.

STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.06.03,
ST. LUC1E COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
In reviewing this application for proposed rezoning, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider
and make the following determinations:
1. Whether the proposed rezoning is in conflict with any applicable portions of the St. Lucie
County Land Development Code;
The applicant is requesting a change in zoning from the AR-1 (Agricultural Residential -1 dulacre)
Zoning District to the RM-S (Residential, Multiple-family - 5 du/acre) Zoning District. The azea in
which the subject property is located is currently utilized as citrus groves. The stated purpose of this
change in zoning is to allow for the development of the 25 acres as amulti-family residential project.
The subject property is adjacent to South Kings Highway, which is a state owned North/South Arterial
roadway. Access to the property will be via a driveway from Reseazch Center Road.
March 14, 2002 Petition: Bakul Patel
Page 3 File RZ-02-003
The RM-5 (Residential, Multiple-family - 5 dulacre) Zoning District has been determined to be an
.acceptable zoning district for the proposed area. The applicant's request would provide a transitional
use from the more intense industrially zoned lands to the east and the less intense residential and
agriculturally zoned properties to the west.
2. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan;
Table 1.6 of the Future Land Use Element, Data and Analysis, indicates those zoning classifications
allowed under the RU (Residential Urban) Future Land Use Designation. According to this table, the
RM-5 (Residential, Multiple-family - 5 du/acre) Zoning District is considered to be acceptable within
the azeas designated with a Future Land Use Classification of RU (Residential Urban). The proposed
rezoning request is consistent with all elements of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. As the
subject property is located within the FPUA service delivery area, staff will require the developer to
submit a letter of sufficient capacity from the service provider prior to receiving site plan approval.
3. Whether and the extent to which the proposed zoning is inconsistent with the existing and
proposed land uses;
The proposed zoning district is considered to be consistent with existing and proposed future land use
designations in the azea. The surrounding properties to the north, south and west aze all being utilized
as citrus groves. The properties to the east aze utilized as citrus groves and a packinghouse. The
permitted uses in the RM-5 (Residential, Multiple-family - 5 du/acre) Zoning District aze not expected
to unduly impact the surrounding azea or uses.
4. Whether there have been changed conditions that require an amendment;
Conditions have not changed so as to require an amendment. As the Kings Highway corridor
develops, there will be pressure to allow more intense uses adjacent to the roadway. The applicant's
request will continue to maintain a residential chazacter within the area, yet, also allow for a more
intense transitional use between the roadway and industrial uses to the east and the low density
residential and agricultural uses to the west.
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 intended use for this rezoning is not expected to create significant additional demands on any
public facilities in this area. The State of Florida Department of Transportation's work program for
2000/2001- 2004/2005, indicates that South Kings Highway, from Okeechobee Road north to Angle
Road was slated for resurfacing in the yeaz 2001. Currently, this resurfacing project is going forward.
The existing right-of--way for South Kings Highway, adjacent to the subject property is 50 feet in
width. According to Section 7.04.04 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, the ultimate
right-of--way for South Kings Highway from Orange Avenue south to Okeechobee Road is 130 feet.
March 14, 2002 Petition: Bakul Patel
Page 4 File RZ-02-003
Based upon this, at the time of site plan approval for the subject property additionalright-of--way will
be required to be dedicated to the County for the widening of Kings Highway.
Under the current AR-1 zoning designation, a 25 acre land parcel would be permitted a density of 1
du/acre, equating to a total of 25 dwelling units. Under the proposed RM-5 zoning, the project would
be allowed a maximum of 125 dwelling units an increase of 500%. The ITT Trip Generation Book,
single-family residential developments generate a total of 10 trips per day and amulti-family complex
generates 7 trips per day. Based upon this generation, under the existing zoning, the subject property
at its maximum would create 250 trips per day. Under the proposed zoning, the subject property at its
maximum density would create 875 trips per day. According to the Wiring 2001Traffic Counts, South
Kings Highway, north of Okeechobee Road has a LOS Capacity of 15,000 total trips. Currently there
are 10,159 trips per day accounted for on this roadway segment. This leaves the remaining capacity of
5,441 trips available for this roadway segment. The proposed rezoning will not negatively impact this
roadway segment with an increased capacity and density.
At the time of development, a review of the available public facility capacity will be completed.. All
impacts will be assessed for the development at that time. The FPUA has -the proposed area
designated within its service delivery area. Prior to obtaining site plan approval, the developer will be
required to depict that sufficient capacity is available to meet the demands/needs of any development
proposed for the site.
6. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant adverse
impacts on the natural environment;
The proposed amendment is not anticipated to create adverse impacts on the natural environment.
The existing use of the property is a citrus grove. The applicandproperty owner will be required to
comply with all federal, state, and local environmental regulations as part of any submitted
development plans for the site.
7. 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 will occur with this change in zoning. The subject
property has access from South Kings Highway and Research Center Road. The request for a change
in zoning will continue the development pattern that is occurring along South Kings Highway and will
provide a transitional use from the more intense Industrially light zoned property to the east and the
low density residentiaUagriculturally zoned properties to the west.
8. 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 would not be in conflict with the public interest and is in harmony with the
purpose and intent of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code.

STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH 1[N SECTION 11.06.03,
ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
In reviewing this application for proposed rezoning, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider
and make the following determinations:
1. Whether the proposed rezoning is in conflict with any applicable portions of the St. Lucie
County Land Development Code;
The applicant is requesting a change in zoning from the AG-5 (Agricultural -1 du/5 acres) Zoning
District to. the RF (Religious Facility) Zoning District. The subject property currently contains a
church (Freewill Mission Church) and a residential structure. The stated purpose of this change in
zoning is to allow for the expansion of an existing church. The property is an existing nonconforming
use (religious facility) and contains two nonconforming structures (single-family residence with a 16'
9" encroachment into the 20 foot side setback and the church with a 1'3" encroachment into the 20
foot side setback). The existing church facility was built on the subject property in 1947, and
therefore considered a nonconforming grandfathered use. The applicant has indicated that they desire
to enlarge the existing religious facility. According to Section 10.00.02(C) of the St. Lucie County
band Development Code nonconforming uses cannot be expanded. In order for the applicant to - -
complete the renovations to the existing facility, a rezoning to either RF (Religious Facility) or I
(Institutional) is required to be approved.
The subject property is located on the east side of North Header Canal Road, approximately 732 feet
north of the intersection of North Header Canal Road and Orange Avenue. The proposed lot is 36,355
square feet in size. As such, it is Staff s opinion that the site is too small to be designated with I
(Institutional) zoning. The RF (Religious Facility) zoning designation is more appropriate to this site.
As such, the Religious Facility zoning district will permit the continuance of the existing church as

well as the single-family;~residential structure and pillow for the existing ruia(charactcrto remain in
this area. The approval of this zoning desi~na~ion would bring the~iumconfonning use'into
compliance with. the zoning code.

As`'previously mentioned, the~Religious Facility zoning districthas been. determined to more
compatible"and consistent with the surrounding rieighburhood quality and character. The Religious
Facility zoning district will allow the existing"church and residential unit to remain as a conforming
use:
2. Whether the proposed amendmentis consistenEwith all elements of the St. Lucie County
Compre~?ensive Plan;
Table 1.6 of the Future Land Use Element, Data and °Analysi ,indicates those zoning classifications
allowed under the AG-5 (Agricultural - 55) Future Land Use Designation: According to` Phis table,
the:I (Institutional) and RF (Religious Facility)`Zonirig Districts aze considered to be acceptable within
the areas designated witl~a Future Laud Use Classification of AG-S (Agriculturah= 5). Based upon
the:. surrounding uses and rural,. character of'ahe area, in conjunction, with the small size of the
proposed lot (,84 acres), many of the permitted and conditional uses allowed within the institutional
zoning district aze inconsistent and would negatively ;impact the surrounding area: Therefore, the I
(Institutional) zoning district is considered to be not consistent with the Comprehensive Flan. Amore
appropriate zoning designation would be RF (Religious Facility). This zoning district is consistent
with all elements of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Flan and would provide a more consistent
development pattern in he azea:
3. Whether `and the extent to which .the proposed zoning is inconsistent with the existimg and
proposed land uses;
The ro osed zonin district is considered tote inconsistent with existin and ro osed future land
I'~ p p g
g p p
usedesignations in the area: The surrounding properties to the north, south, east and west are all
II
being utilized as citrus groves. Overall, the RF (Religious Facility) zoning district, if approved, would
eliminate the nonconforming status of the existing religious facility and still be consistent with the
!I rural chazacter of the azea. The'uses permitted within the RF (Religious Facility) zoning district aze
consistent within the area.
4. Whether there have been changed conditions that require an amendment;
Conditions have changed so as xo require an amendment. In 1947, the Freewill Mission Church was
constructed. In 1989, the County designated the subject property with a Future Land Use Designation
of AG-5 (Agricultural -`5) and a zoning classification of AG-S (Agricultural -1 du/5 acres). Under
the permitted uses found in the AG-5 Zoning Classification, a religious .facility is not'listed and
therefore not permitted. This results in a grandfathered nonconforming use status for the church: As
previously mentioned, the St. Lucie County Land:Development Code does not allow expansions to
existing nonconforming uses. The applicant has indicated a desire to expand the existing church,
During discussions with the applicant; Staff .recommended- that the property be rezoned to an
appropriate zoning district. Staff is recommending that the property be rezoned to the RF (Religious
Facility) Zoning District.

The intended use for this rezoning is not expected to create~;significant additional demands on any
public facilities in this area. Since 1947, the subject property has been utilized as a church. At the,
time that the project was constructed,- zoning. and land ~use~. were -not in effect. Upon the' County `
undergoing the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and Rezoning efforts in 1989, the subject
property's use became nonconforming. The granting of a rezoning for fhe subject property will

An orderly and logical development pattern will occur with this change in zoning. The subject
property is currently utilized as a church, which is a nonconforming use within the AG-5 (Agricultural. _

The proposed amendment would not be in conflict with the public -interest and is in harmony-with the
~ purpose and intent of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code.. The Land Development Code
provides provisions for the elimination of nonconforming uses and structures. The rezoning of this
property will eliminate the nonconforming use status.
COMMENTS
The petitioner,. Charles Velie, has requested this change in zoning from the AG-5 (Agricultural -1 du/Sacres)
Zoning District to the RF (Religious Facility) Zoning District in order to continue'and expand a nonconforming
religious facility on a .84 acre parcel of land located at 180 N. Header Canal Road (east side of Header Canal
~M:
March 14, 2002 Petition: Charles Velie
Page 5 File RZ-02-004
Road, approximately 732 feet north of the intersection of Header Canal Road and Orange Avenue Extension).
The indicated purpose of this change in zoning is to allow for expansion of an existing nonconforming use and
structure. The subject property is in an area designated within the Comprehensive Plan as being compatible
with the RF (Religious Facility) Zoning District. \
A review of the uses permitted as use-by-right and conditional uses within the institutional zoning district
indicates that this designation is appropriate due to the size of the subject parcel. The uses permitted asuse-by-
right and conditional use permit are more in keeping with the existing religious use. The single-family
residential structure is permitted as an accessory use to the primary religious facility.
Attached is a copy of Section 3.01.03(Y) - RF (Religious Facilities) of the St. Lucie County Land
Development Code, which delineates the permitted, accessory and conditional uses allowed in the RF
(Religious Facilities) Zoning District. If the change in zoning request is approved, the applicant, by right,
would be allowed to establish any of the uses under the Permitted Uses section. Any use under the Accessory
Uses section would be allowed only if one or more of the permitted uses exists on the subject property. Any
use under the Conditional Uses section could only be allowed if it first receives approval through the Board of
County Commissioners.
Staff has reviewed this petition and determined that it conforms to the Standazds Of Review as set forth in the
St. Lucie County Land Development Code and is not in conflict with the goals, objectives, and policies of the
St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends that you forward this petition to the Boazd of
County Commissioners with a recommendation of approval, which is more in keeping with the surrounding
azeas, eliminates the nonconforming use issue and would not impact future expansion of the church.
Please contact this office if you have any questions on this matter.
