request. Further public comment will not be accepted unless the Board has
specific questions.
• The Board will vote on its recommendation after its discussion. For legal
reasons, the motion may be chosen and read from a script provided by staff.
Motions both for and against are provided to the Board members.
for their consideration and vote, usually within the next month.

AGENDA ITEM 1: MEETING MINUTES — JANUARY 16, 2003:
Mr. Grande made a motion for approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Lounds.
Upon a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously (with a vote of 8-0).
AGENDA ITEM 2: ERNEST F. AND EILEEN B. VAUGHN — FILE. NO. RZ-03-003:
Mr. Hank Flores, stated that Agenda item 2 is an application of Ernest and Eileen Vaughan for a
Change in Zoning from RM-5 (Residential, Multiple -Family — 5 du/acre) Zoning District to the
RE-2 (Residential, Estate — 2 du/acre) Zoning District for property located at 13775 South Indian
River Drive. He advised the stated purpose of the rezoning is to allow for the construction of a
guest home on the subject property. He stated staff has reviewed the petition and determined that
it conforms to the standards of review set forth in the Land Development Code and is not in
conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. He stated staff recommends you forward the petition to
the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation of approval.
Ms. Eileen Vaughn stated she lives at 13775 South Indian River Drive, Jensen Beach. She stated
she wants to put in a garage and a little apartment above for our family. She stated when she
bought the property it was RM-10 and now the zoning is RM-5. She stated all she wants to do is
go to RE-2.
Chairman Merritt opened the Public Hearing.
Seeing no one, Chairman Merritt closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Grande stated looking at the map, is the lot behind this property land locked or inaccessible.
Mr. Flores stated he believes those lots are part of the mobile home park.
Mr. Grande stated this is going from RM-5 to RE-2. He asked if there is a problem with building
a garage or the garage with the guest quarters or a guesthouse in RM-5.
Mr. Flores stated according to the Land Development Code, this would be perceived to be two
separate families and each house would have to meet lot size dimensional requirements for the
RS-4 Zoning for Multiple Family Zoning, and this would not meet those standards.
Mr. Grande stated then the change is necessary.
Mr. Flores replied yes it is.
Mr. David Kelly stated in order to follow up on the question about the other lots behind, he
stated if you notice the lot lines are dash lines that connect the mobile home park to the lots
behind it. He stated that would indicate that they are common ownerships.
Mr. Mattes stated 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
P & Z Meeting

Page 3
approval to the application of Eileen and Ernest Vaughn, for a change in Zoning from the
RM-5 (Residential, Multi -Family — 5 du/acre) Zoning District to the RE-2 (Residential,
Estate) Zoning District, because the down zoning aldng Indian River Drive is better for that
community.
Motion seconded by Mr. Grande.
Upon a roll call vote the motion passed unanimously (with a vote of 8-0).
Chairman Merritt advised Ms. Vaughn that her petition would be forwarded to the Board of
County Commission with a recommendation of approval.
AGENDA ITEM 3: ROBERT FENDER — FILE NO. PA-02-005:
Mr. Hank Flores stated it doesn't appear that the applicant or representative is present and he
asked if the hearing would still continue.
Chairman Merritt asked if there was anyone present to represent the petitioner. No one
answered. He asked the pleasure of the Board.
Mr. Lounds stated he has questions for the petitioner about his request and with him not being
here, it would be hard to do that. He stated he would rather not take action on this without the
petitioner to be here to at least offer or defend his views or share his feelings.
Mr. Grande stated he agreed with that, but he had one question for staff. He stated the last time
this petition came forward there was a question as to whether an arrangement had been made
between the owner and the County. He asked was this researched and what was the answer.
Mr. David Kelly stated this was researched. He stated that Mr. Fender's contention was that he
had an acre of commercial zoning and that through takings and other things he lost some of that
area. Mr. Kelly stated Mr. Fender did lose some area and the County through a rezoning
replaced it. He stated Mr. Fender did get back to the original amount, but he never had an acre.
Mr. Kelly stated there is a drawing available that shows the sequence of events.
Mr. Flores stated that every member of the Board received a copy of that drawing showing the
acreages. He stated Mr. Fender had .50 or .56 acres before the original taking and there was
.3637 acres after the taking. He stated with the rezoning it increased the Commercial General to
.5369 acres. He explained that Mr. Fender is now requesting to increase that to 1.2 acres of
Commercial General.
Mr. Grande thanked staff. He stated he would concur with Mr. Lounds that he would be hesitant
to go ahead without the presence of the petitioner.
Mr. Hearn asked staff if the subject rezoning has restored the amount of acreage the petitioner
had originally and now they are asking for more. He asked did he understand that correctly.
Mr. Kelly replied, "Yes sir."
P & Z Meeting
February 20, 2003
Page 4
Mr. Hearn asked was there any promise when there land was used for the roads that this would
be done. He asked was there any agreement.
Mr. Kelly replied he was not aware of an agreement, but he wasn't present at the time. He stated
when the land was used for a road there clearly was a subsequent rezoning that did replace that
land. He stated this is over and above that. He stated whether that was an agreement at the time
of the taking or something that happened subsequently — it did happen. He stated staff has this
documentation and he doesn't know if there was an agreement. He stated there was never an
agreement to go above and beyond.
Mr. Hearn stated he thinks there are some people in the audience who have come here for this
petition. He stated if it was the pleasure of the Board to allow them to speak tonight, if they
can't come back next month.
Chairman Merritt asked Ms. Young, what could we do in terms of the audience.
Ms. Heather Young, Assistant County Attorney, stated if you would like to continue the public
hearing you still need to open it. She stated what is normally done is you advise the people who
are here that this may be continued to perhaps next month and that they are certainly welcome to
speak tonight if they like, but it might be better if they come back next month in order to hear
comments from the petitioner and the dialogue with the Board. She stated they are allowed to
speak if they wish if you continue it. She stated you do have to open the public hearing and then
continue it to a date certain.
Mr. Kelly stated there are actually two petitions for this. He stated there is a Plan Amendment
and Rezoning and each would have to be opened and continued.
Mr. Kelly advised the Chairman that before you open the Plan Amendment Hearing, if that is
your choice, you would have to announce that you are sitting as the local planning agency rather
than the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Chairman Merritt opened the public hearing for the Local Planning Agency.
Ms. Patricia Ferrick spoke to the Board on behalf of the North Fork Property Owners. She had
one request since this would be the second postponement if you would do a renotification to the
property owners instead of just saying so this evening. She stated there are some people here
tonight who may be back next time, but there are some who were here last time who couldn't
make it due to illness in the family and may not be here this evening. She asked if they could do
another renotification instead of just saying that this is continued. She stated if the petitioner
should decide not to go forward because he already has what he stated at the last meeting that he
was interested in recouping, which is what he had lost through the taking of the property for St.
James or South 25`h Street.
Ms. Ferrick explained that Ms. Jackson, who is out of town and will be back for the next
meeting.
Mr. Kelly stated the obligation for the Board is to continue this and the assumption is that those
who were interested were here and would hear it. He stated staff would be happy to resend the
notices, but staff doesn't wish to do the newspaper ad again.
P & Z Meeting
February 20, 2003
Page 5
Ms. Ferrick replied she agreed that you wouldn't have to do a newspaper ad. She asked for
notification of those people within 500 feet that you notified the first time.
Mr. Kelly stated staff would do that.
Mr. Alan Griffith, who lives at Grey Twig Lane, stated he has a petition signed by 18 of our 23
householders. He stated we are opposed to certain zoning changes we're not opposed to zoning.
He stated we are in an area that is heavily traveled and if you have every been there in the
morning or evening hours it is almost impossible to get in and out of there that are there on the
corner. He asked if he could present this to someone.
Mr. Griffith stated we are not opposed to the zoning. He stated we are just opposed to certain
businesses going in there. He stated you should know what's going in there before you O.K. the
zoning. He stated we don't need another gas station. He thanked the Board.
Mr. Kelly read the petition: "We the undersigned homeowners on Grey Twig Lane wish to
express our objection to the proposed zoning change for the southwest corner of the intersection
of 25`h Street and Midway Road. This change from Commercial Neighborhood to Commercial
General would cause greater traffic congestion at what is already a very busy intersection.
Entering and exiting into any new facility would be extremely difficult and we believe that any
additional commercial construction at this intersection would have a negative effect on our
property values. "
Mr. Kelly stated he didn't count them but it says there are 18 out of 23 signatures. He stated
staff would put that in the record.
Mr. Matthes made a motion to continue the petition. Mr. McCurdy seconded the motion.
Ms. Young stated you need to continue it to a date certain.
Mr. Kelly stated the date should be March 20, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible.
Mr. Hearn asked staff for clarification. He asked are we obligated to continue this when the
petitioner is not here.
Mr. Kelly stated he was not aware of an obligation. He stated this has been the past practice of
the Board.
Mr. Hearn stated he has heard discussion from some of the County Commission Board members
that they really feel like the petitioner has an obligation to be present if they want to be present.
He stated he wanted to know if this Board was obliged to continue it.
Mr. Kelly stated he was not aware of an obligation to continue.
Mr. Lounds stated that the comments that were placed tonight at the public hearing would be part
of the minutes for next month's meeting and become official.
Chairman Merritt replied yes they will.
P & Z Meeting
February 20, 2003
Page 6
Chairman Merritt stated he didn't have a problem continuing the petition. He stated there could
be any number of reasons for the applicant not to show up. He stated he would not want to
continue granting continuances. He stated if he doesn't show up the next time then he would say
end it.
Upon the roll call, the motion was approved unanimously (with a vote of 8-0).
Chairman Merritt closed the Planning Agency and reconvened the Planning & Zoning
Board.
AGENDA ITEM 4: ROBERT FENDER — FILE NO. RZ-02-022
Chairman Merritt stated this is a petition for Robert Fender _for a Change in Zoning from the CN
(Commercial, Neighborhood) and CG (Commercial, General) Zoning Districts to the CG
(Commercial, General) Zoning District.
Chairman Merritt stated we have just heard all of the comments. He asked is there anything we
need to do further.
Mr. Kelly stated you need to open the public hearing so you can continue the petition. He stated
you could asked the public, but I don't think you will get anything new.
Chairman Merritt opened the Public Hearing as the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Mr. Grande stated before we make a motion, he wanted to ask a question of staff. He stated
since we have discovered that the applicant has been made whole as far as the amount of
commercial property, would it be a good idea to check with the applicant to see if they have just
assumed that this was going to be dropped and that they don't want to go forward.
Mr. Flores stated he spoke with the petitioner and they are aware of the fact that they didn't have
an acre to begin with. He stated the petitioner wanted to continue with the applied for Land Use
and Zoning Change.
Mr. Lounds asked would it be wrong to ask staff to bring back, assuming that this is coming back
next month, to ask for some more information that would probably alleviate some of the
questions I would have concerning the expansion of Midway and 25"' impact on this whole
intersection. He asked if this is possible for staff to bring.
Mr. Kelly replied it certainly is. He asked if there were specific questions.
Mr. Lounds stated this is going to be a major intersection. He stated there is going to be major
roadway developments at that intersection in all directions. He stated he would like to know if
the County has an idea of what this is going to do to the land use on those corners so we can
further, in his mind, determine whether the petitioner is going to have to ask for more land later
on after that happens again. He stated you come to the well once you don't go back twice.
Mr. Kelly asked if Mr. Lounds was asking if there would be left turn motions into this parcel.
Mr. Lounds replied left and right.
P & Z Meeting
February 20, 2003
Page 7
Mr. Kelly stated there are always right turns. He stated that left turns coming into the parcel
from Midway westbound and 25"' northbound are very, very unlikely. He stated there will be
medians in place. He stated staff will confirm all of that, but if that is the question, we can have
a diagram and show you all of that next time.
Mr. Lounds stated this would help him in his decisions and to question further ask the petitioners
for what he is going to do with the property. He stated he hoped that didn't create a problem for
anyone else.
Chairman Merritt stated he wouldn't mind seeing an intersection layout either.
Mr. Lounds made a motion to continue this petition until March 20, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. or as
soon thereafter as possible.
Mr. McCurdy seconded the motion.
Upon the roll call, the motion was approved unanimously (with a vote of 8-0).
OTHER BUSINESS/DISCUSSION
Mr. Hearn stated several months ago I raised the issue of an agenda item that would give us an
opportunity to discuss if we wanted to provide an option other than a straight rezoning for
projects and requests that come before the Planning Commission. He asked for this to be on the
agenda as soon as we could in the future and possibly at a meeting when there is not a heavy
schedule.
Mr. Hearn stated he would like to have this Board have an in depth discussion about whether to
have an option that would give this Board and the Board of County Commissioners an
opportunity to provide some relief for a person who wanted to do something on their property
rather than a straight rezoning, where we had no control over what went in once the rezoning was
done. He stated he wanted to officially make this a request.
Mr. Kelly asked if Mr. Hearn anticipate staff preparing anything for such a discussion or is this
purely discussion by the Board.
Mr. Hearn replied if staff were so inclined to prepare something, he would welcome that. He
indicated he was sure this is not a unique idea that has never happened in any other community.
He stated he thinks this has a place in our community. He stated rezonings come before us for
people who want to do something on their property and the neighborhood is really concerned
about what else could possible go in there. He stated he would like to have a method to provide,
similar to a PUD that we use for other larger parcels of land to give us some control over what
happens in our community without taking the drastic step of a rezoning that we have no control
over.
P & Z Meeting
February 20, 2003
Page 8
Mr. Kelly stated this leaves him not fully understanding where you are going and he did not want
to get into the debate tonight, but clearly a PNRD does that for commercial and PUD does that
residential.
Mr. Hearn asked aren't we subjected to a minimum acreage size on those parcels.
Mr. Kelly replied yes, but in the several cases and he was thinking of two, which were both
PUDs, where someone wanted to do a PUD on a smaller parcel. He stated they went to the
Board of Adjustment first to get a variance and then brought a PUD to the Planning and Zoning
Commission on a smaller parcel. He stated this has occurred in the past.
Mr. Kelly stated we do have a mechanism that would get a smaller parcel in here as a PUD or
PNRD.
Mr. Hearn asked if they have to pay two separate fees to do this.
Mr. Kelly replied yes they do. He stated this has happened twice. He stated one of them was on
North Beach and he didn't remember where the other one was, but there were two.
Mr. Hearn stated he would still prefer to have a special discussion on this subject to see how this
process works in our county and then we can make a decision if we want to move forward.
Mr. Kelly stated staff would get this on an agenda for the Board.
Mr. McCurdy stated he was curious as to what happened at the Board of County Commission
meeting. He stated he spoke briefly to Mr. Flores about the suggestions or recommendations we
had last month for the PUD and the clustering west of Ft. Pierce in the agricultural areas. He
asked did the Board of County Commission acted on our advice to reject that.
Mr. Kelly stated this item was continued to March 4, 2003.
Mr. McCurdy asked if they directed staff to explore any alternatives to that particular amendment
that was presented to us.
Mr. Kelly replied that he is not aware of such a directive.
Mr. Grande asked to speak of the prior topic. He stated frequently in the past when we have
suggested a PUD as an alternative, applicants and staff members have rightfully pointed out that
the PUD process in addition to being difficult is also more expensive. He stated he would hope
that we would look at an alternative as has been suggested that would not burden a single family
or small lot owner with additional expense.
Mr. Kelly replied yes that makes sense. He stated he didn't know how a single-family lot owner
would get into this field, but this is will be part of the discussion we will have to have. He stated,
maybe we need to have a discussion to determine where we need to go next.
Chairman Merritt asked staff if they would explain to the Board the difference between goals and
objectives and the designated zoning categories according to the Comp Plan. He stated he was
still confused over why we have a zoning and the goals and objectives override the zoning issues.
P & Z Meeting
February 20, 2003
Page 9
Mr. Kelly stated the Comprehensive Plan is mandated by the state and consists of two sections,
the data and analysis, and the policy. The data and analysis are all the facts you use to get to the
policy of the county. He stated the policy of the county is in two pieces, the map package,
primarily the Future Land Use Map, and the goals, objectives and policies. He stated he thinks
you are comparing the Future Land Use Map and the Zoning Map and asking why are they
different. He asked is this your concern.
Chairman Merritt stated in the discussion with you where he was asking dealing with the issue
west of town of why the goals and objectives would take precedent over the zoning that was
allowed on the particular properties there.
Mr. Kelly stated he understands the question better now. He stated in the specific case in 1990
when the County was going through the Comprehensive Plan, the Department of Community
Affairs found us not to be in compliance. He stated one of the issues was that DCA didn't believe
that we were doing enough to protect the western portion of the County from sprawl. He stated
through the process of getting the Comprehensive Plan in compliance, DCA suggested a couple
of policies that went into the Plan and are those that you are now commenting on seem to be in
conflict with the zoning. He stated the policies for subdivisions greater than 4 units require a
PUD, 80% open space, and clustering. He asked if those are the ones you are referring to.
Chairman Merritt replied yes sir. He stated this leads to the next question, which is can the
County legally do this. He asked can they legally designate one unit per 5 acres and then tell
someone they can't build one unit per 5 acres on a 100-acre subdivision that the goals and
objectives take precedent.
Mr. Kelly stated by state law the Comprehensive Plan does take precedent. He stated we are
obligated to make sure our Zoning Code is consistent with our Comprehensive Plan. He stated to
the extent that there are inconsistencies, the Comprehensive Plan probably is the ruling
document.
Mr. Kelly stated there are other instances in which case a parcel may be zoned for a particular
thing that is not possible to achieve. He stated it may be all wetlands or it may have other
problems.
Chairman Merritt stated this is making it clearer, but what he is seeing now is that our zoning
laws are in conflict and they need to be updated to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. Is that
correct.
Mr. Kelly replied yes. He stated the intent of what came before you that you rejected very
soundly was an effort to try to put the zoning in place consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
He stated the other option is to try to change the Comprehensive Plan, but knowing the history of
it and knowing that it was imposed by DCA, we don't think there is a real good chance of going
back to have the DCA just take that language out. He what we could do at the County
level would be to make the zoning consistent. He stated if there is a need to do something with
the Comprehensive Plan, it is a bigger process and a longer process and we anticipate some
resistance in Tallahassee.
P & Z Meeting
February 20, 2003
Page 10
Chairman Merritt stated what we have now doesn't work, so we are going to have to do
something.
Mr. Kelly agreed.
Chairman Merritt stated there is an item from Mr. Hearn regarding Roadway Capacity Expansion
Studies.
Mr. Hearn stated he didn't initiate this.
Chairman Merritt stated it was addressed -to Mr. Hearn.
Mr. Flores stated you are referring to letters _from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
and he didn't realize until Mr. Lounds pointed out that the letters are person specific. He stated
each member was to get one of these from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council.
Mr. Kelly stated there is one more announcement.
Mr. Flores stated that Mr. Murphy would like the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider
having a special meeting on March 27, 2003 to consider the rezoning for the Wal-Mart Regional
Distribution Center.
Chairman Merritt stated he thought if this was only one matter that the P&Z could accommodate
that.
Mr. Flores stated the regular Planning & Zoning Commission meeting is March 20 and this
would be a week later.
Mr. Grande asked if he understood that the regular meeting is scheduled for March 20, 2003 and
you are suggesting a special meeting on March 27, 2003.
Mr. Flores replied that's correct.
Mr. Grande asked is this because the applicant won't be ready by March 20, 2003.
Mr. Flores stated that actually the County is the applicant and there is a mandated 30-day period
of notice requirement before any County initiated changes in zoning. He stated in order to meet
that 30-day time requirement, March 27, 2003 was the earliest time.
Mr. Kelly suggested that since this is not probably a long item that this might be a time for Mr.
Hearn's discussion afterwards.
Mr. Hearn was going to suggest postponing the March 20, 2003 meeting for a week and having it
all at the same time.
Chairman Merritt stated it has already been advertised.
Mr. Kelly stated we haven't advertised, but we have just continued a number of hearings to that
meeting.
P & Z Meeting
February 20, 2003
Page 11
Chairman Merritt asked what exactly are we going to do with the Wal-Mart issue.
Mr. Kelly replied he believes all we are going to do is change the zoning on the parcel.
Mr. Flores stated this will be for a change in zoning from AG-1 to Industrial Heavy.
Chairman Merritt asked what is the pleasure of the Board.
Mr. Grande stated the only question he would have left is does Mr. Hearn's suggestion work if
those hearings that were just continued are readvertized.
Mr. Matthes asked what kind of agenda are we looking at for March 20, 2003.
Chairman Merritt stated he has a problem with the fact we told the people it would be continued
to March 20, 2003 and now they are gone.
Mr. Hearn stated it was suggested tonight that the property owners within 500 feet be renotified
so this may be do -able with that scenario.
Mr. Kelly stated we have everyone's name and could contact everybody who was in the room
and it would be appropriate to reopen both hearings.
Ms. Young added yes, you would have to reopen both hearings and then continue each of them
until March 27, 2003 if that is your prerogative.
Chairman Merritt asked staff if Mr. Fender notified you that he would not be here to night.
Mr. Flores replied no, he hadn't talked to him.
Mr. Grande stated that the only thing left is the sense of staff as to if we were to do this, would
our regular load be too heavy on March 27, 2003, if we take what's scheduled, plus the Wal-
Mart, plus the scheduled discussion requested by Mr. Hearn. He asked do we have a sense of
what's coming up next month.
Mr. Kelly stated there are three new ones, the two Fenders would make five, Wal-Mart would
make six and the discussion would be seven items.
Mr. Flores added that Ms. Snay has a couple of items.
Mr. Kelly stated it would be possible to put it all together for that night and maybe it would not
be a good idea for Mr. Hearn's discussion that night.
Mr. Hearn stated he didn't have to have the discussion next month.
Mr. Jones asked how can we open a meeting we have already closed and continue to do it at
another time certain.
Ms. Young asked did you adjourn yet. She stated she didn't think you did.

Mr. Jones replied no, we closed those hearings. He asked how could we reopen something we
publicly closed.
Ms. Young stated obviously this is not the preferable way to handle this, but you probably could.
She stated what Mr. Kelly is saying, she was wondering if you should just go ahead and have the
meeting on March 20, 2003 and then the other one on March 27, 2003.
Chairman Merritt stated this has been a contentious issue with the City of Ft. Pierce and Port St.
Lucie and there are liable to be 100 people with that hearing. He stated we might want to
continue that hearing at one time.
Mr. Kelly stated you mean for the Wal-Mart property. He stated he thinks the Board has all the
facts now, so he asked what is your pleasure.
Mr. Matthes stated his pleasure is separate meetings.
There was consensus among the member to have separate meetings.
Mr. Kelly stated then there will be a regular meeting on March 20, 2003 and the meeting on
March 27, 2003 will be for Wal-Mart and if it doesn't stretch on into the evening, we can have
Mr. Hearn's discussion that night.
Mr. Hearn asked if staff would be prepared for that night if there is time.
Mr. Kelly responded absolutely.
Mr. Lounds asked a question on the invitation to the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council.
He asked what is the purpose of this invitation on March 26, 2003 the night before the other
meeting.
Mr. Flores stated he believes this is going to be a presentation by the Renaissance Planning
Group of the Regional Land Use Study.
Mr. Trias stated this is an educational meeting.
Next scheduled meeting will be March 20, 2003. A special meeting will be held on March 27,
2003.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Panning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Planning Manager (( �—
DATE: March 14, 2003
SUBJECT: Angelheart Acres Conditional Use
At your January meeting, you continued this item until March 20, 2003 in order to allow staff
time to resolve various issues concerning this and other assisted living facilities in the Caprona/
Prima Vista area.
The original applicants, Mr. and Mrs. lania, have asked that the petition for conditional use
approval be withdrawn. They believe that the State of Florida prohibits counties from regulating
foster homes; and therefore, no conditional use is necessary. The Florida Department of
Children and Families originally supported that position, but was unable to provide any
documentation that would prevent the county from enforcing its Land Development Code
provisions.
The county only regulates these uses if they are applied for within 1000' of a similar use. The
county continues to believe that its code is consistent with state law and that its regulation of
these uses is appropriate.
Since the applicants have asked that the petition be withdrawn, staff recommends that the
Planning and Zoning Commission accept the withdrawal of the application.
By copy of this memorandum, Planning Staff is asking Code Enforcement Staff to reactivate its
ongoing investigation, which was held in abeyance pending the results of the conditional use
process.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Planning Division
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Planning Manager
Date: January10, 2003
Subject: Continuation of Angelheart Acres Conditional Use Tearing
Staff recommends that this matter be continued until your February meeting.
On November 5, 2002, Patricia lania filed a petition for a Conditional Use Permit in order to expand
Angelheart Acres, her family residential (foster) home which has been in operation for about five years, at
171 Caprona Ave. in River Park. The Conditional Use Permit is only required if another family residential
home is located within 1000 feet of the subject property. The petition was to be heard at your December
2002 meeting. During the review of the petition, staff checked county records (both community development
and occupational licenses) and the records of the Department of Children and Families (DCF). No family
residential home was identified within the 1000 foot radius. Staff informed the applicant that no Conditional
Use Permit was required and canceled the hearing.
Subsequent to these actions neighbors of the petitioner identified an apparently unlicenced group
home at 111 Caprona Ave. within the 1000 foot radius.
Staff readvertised the hearing and placed it on the agenda for your January 16, 2003 meeting.
Since that action, DCF has stated that state law prohibits the county from regulating they 10oation of
foster homes and provided an Advisory Legal Opinion which appears to support this position. The county
believes that it can and should regulate these uses. Attorneys for both agencies are researching this issue.
Because it does not appear that this issue can be resolved by the IV h, staff is recommending that
the hearing be continued until the February meeting. Interested parties in the River Park area have been
advised of this -recommendation -and -will -not -attend -the meetfng�-ffiave-asked-Ms.-taniato fie -present in

Section 5.01.01 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code,
adopted pursuant to Policy 11.1.4.3, requires that a Certificate of
Capacity be obtained before the issuance any final development_ orders
for development of this property;
Any proposed amendment to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan may be
reviewed by several state and regional agencies. The Department of Community Affairs
is charged with determining whether amendments; are consistent with and further the St.
Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, the State Comprehensive Plan, the Strategic
Regional Policy Plan, Chapter 163, of the Florida Statutes, and Rule 91-1-5, Florida
Administrative Code. In regard to the state and strategic regional plan, staff has the
following comments:
CONSISTENCY WITH THE STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
LAND USE -..recognition of the importance -of preserving the
natural resources and enhancing the quality of life of the state, development shall be
directed to these areas which have in place, or have agreements to provide, the land
and water resources, fiscal abilities, and service capacity to accommodate growth in an
environmentally acceptable manner.
The proposed amendment to the future land use classification with adequate buffering of
the subject property is not expected to adversely affect the quality of. life in the
immediately surrounding area. The subject property is located in an area of residential
uses and commercial activities. The construction of commercial general activities on the

and the quality of life.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN
The proposed Future. Land Use Amendment is not inconsistent with the Strategic
r
Regional Policy Plan (SRRP) because the approval of Ahe request would encourage the
location Of additional commercial development in: an area where thereare existing,
vacant` commercial properties.
CONCLUSION
In reviewing -this application for a change in the future land use classification, staff
recognizes that through prior changes in zoning and future land use classifications;;, the
adjacent neighborhood to the south of the subject ;property has been buffered from the
full effects of the CG (Commercial, General) Zoning District by a portion of the ,entire
j subject property remaining zoned CN (Commercial, Neighborhood). The proposed
'in
Future Land Use Classification change and concurrent request for a change zoning to
CG would allow the continuation of a CN buffer, though.the size of the buffer width would
be reduced.
Based' upon the information provided,; staff has found that the proposed future land use
change is consistent with the Goals, Objectives, and Policies as set forth in the St. Lucie
County Comprehensive Plan. Staff also finds the proposed amendment to be consistent
With the State Comprehensive Plan and Regional Policy Plan.
Staff recommends that this petition be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners
with a recommendation of -approval. ;

1-29 Adoption: March 5. 2002
© Residential development shall be regulated by the intensity district in which it is to take
place. In no case should gross residential density exceed 15 du/ac.
o All uses shall be comnntihle with internal and external adjacent land uses.
SPECIAL DISTRICT (SD)
The intent of the Special District (SD) designation is to identify those areas where specific uses
or combinations of uses are anticipated. These include previously approved Community
Development Districts, areas for which a site specific development plan or concept has been
granted, or areas which by their location have specific issues and concerns for their
development.
Residential densities within an area designated as a Special District, are limited to what the
current land use designation authorizes. Any increase over the present designation may be
considered only through the Plan Amendment process.
COMMERCIAL (COM)
The Commercial (COM) land use designation is applicable to areas of future commercial
development, in addition to those existing developed commercial areas. Future commercials
areas should be located at points of high transportation access, with specific action taken to
prevent the development of new linear commercial strips.
Although this plan supports the location of higher intensity commercial uses at the intersection of
arterial - roadways, it should not be interpreted to mean that every intersection should be
designated for commercial activities. Unless otherwise designated on the future land use maps,
applications for commercial use should be done in conjunction with a detailed review of the
impacts of such development on adjacent property, specifically noting what, if any, negative
neighborhood impacts could result.
The Commercial (COM) designation is intended to accommodate all commercial zoning districts
as identified under St. Lucie County's Land Development Regulations- Office and general retail
uses are considered the principal uses within the COM designated areas.

CONSISTENCY WITH THE ST. LUCIE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
In reviewing this application for a proposed amendment to the St. Lucie County Future
Land Use Map, staff finds that the following Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the
February 14, 2003
Page 3
Petition: Robert C. Fender
File Number: PA-02-005
County Comprehensive Plan are the primary components applicable to this petition. The
following is an element -by -element evaluation of the proposed amendment:
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT
The proposed amendment has been determined not to conflict with this element. The
future land use classifications surrounding the subject property are RS (Residential
Suburban) to the southeast and RU (Residential Urban) to the south and east. The
northeast and northwest corners of the intersection of South 25th Street and Midway
Road are designated with a future land use classification of COM (Commercial). The
existing future land use classification of RU allows residential densities of up to 5 units
per gross acre and some limited commercial uses and COM allows all commercial
zoning districts, including CG (Commercial, General).
Policy 1.1.8.6
Eliminate future scattered and highway strip commercial development by
encouraging the development of commercial centers or nodes consistent
with the future land use map.
The proposed future land use classification change to COM (Commercial) is
consistent with this policy by encouraging commercial development at the
intersection of two major arterials — South 25t Street and Midway Road
Policy 1.1.8.7
Restrict strip commercial development to those traffic corridors where
such development patterns now exist. The depth of these commercial
areas should average 600 feet, with the exceptions to be found at points of
arterial intersection.
The subject property is located at the intersection of South 25th Street and
Midway Road, at a point of arterial intersection. The existing depth of the
Commercial Future Land Use portion of the subject property from Midway Road
is approximately 135 feet. The applicant is proposing a depth in this area of
approximately 225 feet. The existing depth of the Commercial Future Land Use
portion of the subject property from South 251h Street is approximately 225 feet.
approximate 50-foot wide buffer of CN (Commercial, Neighborhood) Zoning on
the property would exist -between the subject property and the residential
neighborhood to the immediate south.
TRAFFIC CIRCULATION ELEMENT
The proposed amendment has been determined not to conflict with this
element.
February 14, 2003

MASS TRANSIT ELEMENT
Petition: Robert C. Fender
File Number: PA-02-005
The proposed amendment has been determined not to conflict with this
element.
PORT AND AVIATION ELEMENT
The proposed amendment is outside of the land area discussed within
this element and the proposed amendment is not expected to result in
any direct impacts to these areas.
HOUSING ELEMENT
The proposed amendment has been determined not to conflict with this
element.
INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENT
Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element
The proposed amendment has been determined not to conflict with this
element. The subject property is within the Port St. Lucie Utilities
Department Utility Service area. Prior to any final development order
approvals, the applicant would need to demonstrate that sufficient
capacity is available to service the project.
Solid Waste Sub -Element
The proposed amendment has been determined not to conflict with this
element.
Drainage and Aquifer Recharge Sub -Element
The proposed amendment has been determined not to conflict with this
element.
Potable Water Sub -Element
The proposed amendment has been determined not to conflict with this
element. The subject property is within the Port St. Lucie Utilities
Department Utility Service area. Prior to any final development order
approvals, the applicant would need to demonstrate that sufficient
capacity is available to service the project.

CONSERVATION ELEMENT
The proposed amendment has been determined not to conflict with this
element.
RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE
The proposed amendment has been determined not to conflict with this
element.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION ELEMENT
The proposed amendment has been determined not to conflict with this
element.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT
The proposed amendment has been determined not to conflict with this
element.
Policy 11.1.4.3(B)(3)
Section 5.01.01 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code,
adopted pursuant to Policy 11.1.4.3, requires that a Certificate of
Capacity be obtained before the issuance any final development orders
for development of this property.
Any proposed amendment to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan may be
reviewed by several state and regional agencies. The Department of Community Affairs
is charged with determining whether amendments are consistent with and further the St.
Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, the State Comprehensive Plan, the Strategic
Regional Policy Plan, Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes, and Rule 9H-5, Florida
Administrative Code. In regard to the state and strategic regional plan, staff has the
following comments:
CONSISTENCY WITH THE STATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
LAND USE - F.S. 187.201(16) - In recognition of- the importance of preserving the
natural resources and enhancing the quality of life of the state, development shall be
directed to those areas which have in place, or have agreements to provide, the land
and water resources, fiscal abilities, and service capacity to accommodate growth in an
environmentally acceptable manner.
February 14, 2003
Page 6
Petition: Robert C. Fender
File Number: PA-02-005
The proposed amendment to the future land use classification with adequate buffering of
the subject property is not expected to adversely affect the quality of life in the
immediately surrounding area. The subject property is located in an area of residential
uses and commercial activities. The construction of commercial general activities on the
subject property is not expected to adversely affect the immediately surrounding area
and the quality of life.
CONSISTENCY WITH THE STRATEGIC REGIONAL POLICY PLAN
The proposed Future Land Use Amendment is not inconsistent with the Strategic
Regional Policy Plan (SRRP) because the approval of the request would encourage the
location of additional commercial development in an area where there are existing,
vacant commercial properties.
CONCLUSION
In reviewing this application for a change in the future land use classification, staff
recognizes that through prior changes in zoning and future land use classifications, the
adjacent neighborhood to the south of the subject property has been buffered from the
full effects of the CG (Commercial, General) Zoning District by a portion of the entire
subject property remaining zoned CN (Commercial, Neighborhood). The proposed
Future Land Use Classification change and concurrent request for a change in zoning to
CG would allow the continuation of a CN buffer, though the size of the buffer width would
be reduced.
Based upon the information provided, staff has found that the proposed future land use
change is consistent with the Goals, Objectives, and Policies as set forth in the St. Lucie
County Comprehensive Plan. Staff also finds the proposed amendment to be consistent
with the State Comprehensive Plan and Regional Policy Plan.
Staff recommends that this petition be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners
with a recommendation of approval.

COMMENTS
This petition was continued to this meeting at the February 20, 2003, Planning and
Zoning Commission/Local Planning Agency meeting. The petitioner, Robert C. Fender, has
requested this change in zoning from the CG (Commercial, General) and CN (Commercial,
Neighborhood) Zoning Districts to the CG (Commercial, General) Zoning District on property
located on the southwest corner of the intersection of South 25th Street and Midway Road in
order to allow the property to be developed for commercial general uses. In order for the
change in zoning request to be heard and approved, a concurrent request for a Future Land
Use Classification change from RU (Residential Urban) to COM (Commercial) must also be
reviewed and approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
Attached is a copy of Section 3.01.03(S) — CG (Commercial, General) and Section
3.01.03(Q) — CN (Commercial, Neighborhood), of the St. Lucie County Land Development
Code, which delineate the permitted, accessory, and conditional uses allowed in these zoning
districts. If a change in zoning 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 exist 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 standards of
review as set forth in Section 11.06.03 of 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 is, therefore, recommending that this Board forward a recommendation of approval
to Board of County Commissioners.
Please contact this office if you have any questions on this matter.

STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.07.03,
ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
In reviewing this application for proposed conditional use, the Planning and Zoning
Commission shall consider and make the following determinations:
1. Whether the proposed conditional use is in conflict with any applicable
portions of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code;
The proposed conditional use is not in conflict with any applicable portions of the St.
Lucie County Land Development Code. Section 3.01.03(S)(7)(k), CG (Commercial
General) Zoning District, allows liquor stores as conditional uses. The proposed
location is within an established shopping center (Prima Vista Crossings Shopping
Center) and just to the north of the Publix Supermarket location. The subject area is
zoned for the proposed commercial use. The applicant is not requesting onsite
consumption of any alcohol beverage.
2. Whether and the extent to which the proposed conditional use would have an
adverse impact on nearby properties;
The proposed conditional use is not expected to adversely impact the surrounding
properties. The proposed site is located within an existing shopping center (Prima
Vista Crossings Shopping Center) next to the Publix Supermarket and is zoned for
General Commercial businesses.
3. Whether and the extent to which the proposed conditional use would be
served by adequate public facilities and services, including roads, police
protection, solid waste disposal, water, sewer, drainage structures, parks, and
mass transit;
This conditional use is not expected to create significant additional demands on any
public facilities in this area. At the time that the Prima Vista Crossing Shopping
Center was reviewed any proposed impact from the center was identified.
Therefore, the proposed use will not have a negative impact on any roadway
network within the vicinity of the shopping center. The proposed property receives
water and sewer from the Port St. Lucie Utility Authority at the time that the Prima
Vista Crossing Shopping Center was reviewed, the applicant demonstrated that
sufficient capacity was available to meet all future uses within the shopping center.
4. Whether and the extent to which the proposed conditional use would result in
significant adverse impacts on the natural environment;
The proposed conditional use is not anticipated to create adverse impacts on the
natural environment. The Prima Vista Crossing Shopping Center is built and the
proposed location is within an interior unit adjacent to the Public Supermarket
location.
COMMENTS
The applicant, Ranjama Patel, has applied for the requested conditional use permit in order
to operate a liquor store within the Prima Vista Crossings, Shipping Plaza for property
located at 7574 US Highway One, Unit 121-C in the CG (Commercial General) Zoning
District. The retail trade of liquor for off -site consumption is allowed as a conditional use in
the CG (Commercial General) Zoning District upon approval of the Board of County
Commissioners.
Staff finds that this petition meets the standards of review as set forth in Section 11.07.03
of 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 Board of County Commissioners with a
recommendation of approval
Please contact this office if you have any questions on this matter.

STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.07.03,
ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
In reviewing this application for proposed conditional use, the Planning and Zoning Commission
shall consider and make the following determinations:
1. Whether the proposed conditional use is in conflict with any applicable portions
of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code;
The proposed conditional use is not in conflict with any applicable portions of the St.
Lucie County Land Development Code. Section 3.01.03(U)(7), IH (Industrial, High)
Zoning District, allows establishments manufacturing concrete and concrete products as
conditional uses.
2. Whether and the extent to which the proposed conditional use would have an
adverse impact on nearby properties;
The proposed conditional use is not expected to adversely impact the surrounding
properties. The proposed site is located within an area designated for Heavy Industrial
uses. Canal No. 101, having a right-of-way width of 107 feet, separates the agricultural
residentially zoned property to the south from the subject property. Section 7.09.04(E)
of the land development code requires that the property abutting this site to the south be
buffered through the installation of an 8-foot high fence or wall and landscaping. A
minimum of 60% of the required landscaping must be installed on the outside of the wall
or fence with the remaining 40% being planted inside the fence or wall. The intent of this
is to reduce any visual impacts from nonresidential uses on residential uses.
3. Whether and the extent to which the proposed conditional use would be served by
adequate public facilities and services, including roads, police protection, solid
waste disposal, water, sewer, drainage structures, parks, and mass transit;.
This conditional use is not expected to create significant- additional demands on any
public facilities in this area. The applicant has indicated on the site plan that they will be
constructing/striping turn lanes from Selvitz Road into the subject property as part of this
site plan approval. Selvitz Road in the vicinity of the subject parcel has a right-of-way of
100 feet. No additional right-of-way is necessary to meet the demands of this project.
The project will be provided water and sewer services through an onsite well and septic
system.

Petition: K & M Concrete
File No.: CU-03-001
The applicant is required to submit for a consumptive use permit from the Department of
Environmental Protection in order to withdraw water from the aquifer for the proposed
facility.
4. Whether and the extent to which the proposed conditional use would result in
significant adverse impacts on the natural environment;
The proposed conditional use is not anticipated to create adverse impacts on the natural
environment. The subject property was previously cleared and developed; no existing
native vegetation is located on this site. As part of the site plan approval process, the
applicant has agreed to bring the existing landscaping up to code. In addition, the
proposed Concrete Batch Plant and Concrete Mixer must comply with all state' and
federal regulations concerning its operation.
STANDARDS FOR DEVELOPMENT/SITE PLAN REVIEW
In addition to the minimum standards of review and project development set out in Section
7.00.00, Section 11.02.07, of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code identifies the
minimum Standards of Review for all proposed Site Plans. These standards must be met in
order for any site plan approvals to be considered. Staff has reviewed the request for Major Site
Plan approval, utilizing these requirements and notes the following:
A. CONSISTENCY WITH LOCAL ORDINANCES AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The proposed K & M Concrete Batch Plant and Concrete Mixer is consistent with the
general purpose, goals, objectives and standards of this Code, the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan, and the Code and Compiled Laws of St. Lucie County, and the
proposed use complies with all additional standards imposed on it by the particular
provisions of this Code authorizing such use and any other requirement of the Code and
Compiled Laws of St. Lucie County.
The proposed K & M Concrete Batch Plant and Concrete Mixer is consistent with the
general purpose, goals, objectives and standards of this Code, the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan, and the Code and Compiled Laws of St. Lucie County. These
Policy t.1.1.1 of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan establishes the maximum lot
coverage, for the industrial future land use designation, by structure as 40% - 50%. The
proposed project is to be developed at a lot coverage by buildings as 2.7%. Therefore,
the proposed project is consistent with this policy.
Policy 1.1.8.5 of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan requires effective visual and
light diffusion barriers between residential and non-residential uses. The proposed
project abuts vacant AR-1 (Agricultural Residential — 1 du/acre) zoned properties to the
interfere with the development and use of neighboring property, in accordance with
applicable district regulations.
Staff would note that the subject property was previously cleared and developed and no
native vegetation exists on the site. The applicant. through the site planning process is

COMMENTS
Subject: Rodney Hopkins
RZ-03-006
The petitioner, Rodney Hopkins, has requested this change in zoning from the CG
(Commercial, General) Zoning District to the I (Institutional) Zoning District on property located
at 4891 North U.S. Highway No. 1 in order to establish a Hotel/Motel (Time Share) on the
subject property. Hotel/Motels are allowed as conditional uses upon the approval of the Board
of County Commissioners.
Attached is a copy of Section 3.01.03(S) — CG (Commercial, General), of the St. Lucie
County Land Development Code, which delineate the permitted, accessory, and conditional
uses allowed in these zoning districts. If a change in zoning 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
exist 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.
This petition for CG (Commercial, General) Zoning is intended to return the property to a
designation consistent with others in the area. The property was rezoned to I (Institutional) in
October 2002 in order to allow for an ACLF (Adult Congregate Living Facility). The applicant's
plans have changed. He now wishes to go back to the hotel/motel/time-share use. Reinstating
this use requires conditional use approval. A petition for the conditional use permit will be
presented at the same meeting.
Staff has reviewed this petition and determined that it conforms to the standards of
review as set forth in Section 11.06.03 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code and is
not -in conflict with the goals, objectives, and policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive
Plan. Staff is, therefore, recommending that this Board forward a recommendation of approval
to Board of County Commissioners.
Please contact this office if you have any questions on this matter.

Mr. McCurdy made a motion for approval with the modification. Motion seconded by Mr.
Lounds.
Upon a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously (with a vote of 6-0).
PUBLIC COMMENT
Ms. Silvia Mendoza, Walk -In Clinic on Prima Vista Boulevard, stated that she is requesting
direction to staff from this Board to assist her with a sign problem in her area. She is
experiencing a major vandalism problem within the area of her walk-in clinic. Her current sign
meets the existing sign code for the CO (Commercial Office) Zoning District. Her existing
ground sign has a spotlight, which shines the light up from the ground onto her sign. The
problem she is having is that every time she replaces the spotlight it either is stolen or broken by
vandals in her neighborhood.
Ms. Mendoza stated she is requesting that the Board direct staff to change the sign code to allow
internally lit signs within the CO (Commercial Office) Zoning District.
Mr. Kelly stated that he had spoken with Ms. Mendoza approximately six weeks ago with Ms.
Mendoza requesting permission for an internally illuminated sign. Ms. Mendoza was inquiring
about a cabinet sign with internal lighting. At that time, I informed Ms. Mendoza that this type
of lighting was not permitted within the CO (Commercial Office) Zoning District and that a
variance was not permitted due to the nature of the request. At that time, Ms. Mendoza asked for
my input on what could be done. I stated she could address the Local Planning Agency and
request your input and guidance.
Mr. Merritt asked if there were any questions on this issue.
Mr. Lounds asked Mr. Kelly the reason for the existing written code requirements for a box lit
sign and the sign limitations in the CN (Commercial, Neighborhood) and CO (Commercial
Office) zoning districts.
Mr. Kelly stated that there was a sign committee who researched and rewrote the sign code a
number of years ago. At that time, due to the nature of the CN (Commercial Neighborhood) and
CO (Commercial Office) uses being in close proximity to residential neighborhoods the
committee determined that low light that does not encroach into the residential areas was more
arnentahle_
Mr. Lounds asked what was being asked of this Board.
Mr. Kelly stated that the Board should make a determination on whether or not Ms. Mendoza's
information would merit a review of the sign code and then the Board would be directing staff to
begin researching and preparing a Land Development Code text change to allow for alternative
lighting within the CN (Commercial Neighborhood) and CO (Commercial Office) Zoning
Districts.
P & Z Meeting
March 20, 2003

Mr. McCurdy asked Ms. Mendoza if her clinic was open after dark.
Ms. Mendoza responded that it was not open after dark. She went on to explain that the problem
is that the spotlights are located on the ground and accessible by the vandals and therefore can be
easily broken or stolen. She further stated that her entire site is not lit at night. There is an
existing light in the back of the property.
Mr. Hearn recommended that Staff research the issue and bring it back to the Commission or
have the Comprehensive Planning Study Group discuss the issue and make a recommendation to
the Board.
Mr. Lounds asked who the Comprehensive Plan Study Group is.
Mr. Hearn responded that it is a group of volunteers that meet once a month to review the
Comprehensive Plan and make recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Anyone can be part of the Study Group.
Mr. Grande stated that the problem is not restricted to this Board, there appears to be a law
enforcement problem, with the property damage that has been occurring the County Sheriff
should be involved. This is a public safety and protection of personal property issue with
repeated vandalism. Is there a recommended change that the petitioner is requesting or that staff
wants the Board to consider?
Mr. Kelly stated that staff is looking for direction from the Board on the issue. The current
policy is that the type of sign the petitioner is requesting is not permitted within the
neighborhood. The area is unique. But is it right to change every sign in the CN (Commercial
Neighborhood) or CO (Commercial Office) Zoning District?
Mr. Grande stated that he is hesitant to rewrite the entire sign code based upon this issue. He
further stated that in his opinion this is a matter for the Sheriff's Office.
Mr. Hearn stated that it may not have to be a change across the Board. This type of change
should be looked at on a case -by -case basis rather than by the zoning district.
Mr. Akins asked if the sign is not internally lit, how is it being lit, from the ground by spotlights?
Ms. Mendoza responded that the sign was lit by spotlights on the ground. The vandals are hitting
the spotlights in a manner which breaks off the bulb at the neck and leaves the metal piece in the
light socket.
Mr. Akins asked if there was not another type of light or container that could be used to protect
the spot light, such as Plexiglas, etc.
Ms. Mendoza stated that she currently is using the best that she could find on the market.
Mr. Merritt asked if Florida Power & Light (FP&L) had been approached regarding floodlights
on the sign.
P & Z Meeting

Ms. Mendoza stated that she currently has one floodlight on the sign. FP & L will lie mstalhng a
floodlight on a light pole but it is not in the area in which the existing sign is located.
Mr. McCurdy asked if additional poles or pole lights being installed or a regular light pole being
installed would be a problem.
Mr. Kelly stated that he didn't see it as a problem.
Mr. McCurdy stated that even though he sympathized with Ms. Mendoza a change to the sign
code is not the method to correct the situation. He feels that there is an engineering and policing
problem that is occurring.
Mr. Lounds stated that this is an issue that needs to be reviewed on a night where there is a light
load. He further stated that he would encourage Ms. Mendoza to talk with the Sheriff's Office.
Mr. Merritt asked Mr. Kelly if he knew the logic behind the sign ordinance not allowing box
lighting.
Mr. Kelly stated that it was due to the zoning districts being interior to neighborhoods and they
were attempting to protect the residential areas from the encroachment of excess lighting in the
area.
Mr. Grande asked if there was any study on whether or not the vandalism would be less with the
internally lit box lighting or is it an engineering and policing problem.
Ms. Mendoza stated that according to the sign expert she was dealing with there is only one type
of sign that could not be broken. The lights would have to be higher so that they were not
accessible. Ms. Mendoza submitted a copy of her existing sign and the proposed sign. The cost
would be in excess of $10,000.00.
Mr. Akins stated that he felt that a Plexiglas cover that goes over the spotlight would be a lot less
than what you are looking at for an out of pocket expense. He felt that this is much more
appropriate than amending the Land Development Code to add extra lighting in a lot of
neighborhoods. People will not want the extra lighting affecting their neighborhood.
Mr. Akins asked Mr. Kelly where exactly the property being discussed was located.
Mr. Kelly stated that is the next property behind the Bank at the SW corner of US 1 and Prima
Vista. Along US 1 in the CG (Commercial General) zoning district the type of lighting requested
is permitted. It is not a Comprehensive Plan amendment it would be a Land Development Code
issue on _sign criteria._ -It-is-not-the intent of- staff -to-open--up-to-permitted -uses -in-the-CN -
(Commercial Neighborhood) and CO (Commercial Office) zoning districts.
Mr. Hearn stated that upon listening to the public and the Board's discussion the issue requires a
closer look and determine if a relief to the code would be able to be obtained without changing
the Land Development Code - Variance procedure or Conditional Use (case by case basis).
Changing the zoning designation for a sign is ludicrous.
Chairman Merritt ended the discussion

AGENDA ITEM 2: ANGELHEART ACRES: FILE NO: CU-02-009
Mr. David Kelly, stated that Agenda Item 2 is the application for a Conditional Use Permit to
allow a community residential home in the RS-4 (Residential, Single-family 4 du/acre) Zoning
District for the project to be known as Angelheart Acres. This item was continued prior meeting.
For your information, this petition is an existing foster home that came in for a Conditional Use
Permit to expand beyond what the already had. The county did not know about the facility prior
to their petition being filed. Upon research and information from the neighborhood it has been
determined that there is another such facility, also not permitted through the county, located
within 1,000 feet of this facility.
Since filing that petition, the applicant's have withdrawn the petition for a Conditional Use
Permit. As this petition was continued staff is requesting that this Board accept the applicant's
withdraw and further direct staff to turn the petition over to the Code Enforcement Division for
further action. Code Enforcement will be required to determine which facility was located on
Caprona first.
Mr. Grande made the motion to accept the applicant's withdrawal and direct staff to notify
the Code Enforcement Division with regards to this facility.
Mr. Hearn seconded the motion.
Upon roll call the motion passed unanimously (6-0 vote).
At this time the Planning and Zoning Commission convened the public hearing and reconvened
as the Local Planning Agency.

AGENDA ITEM 3: ROBERT C. FENDER — PA-02-005
Mr. Hank Flores, stated that Agenda Items 3 and 4 are the applications of Robert C. Fender for a
Change in Future Land Use from the RU (Residential Urban) and COM (Commercial) Future
Land Use Designation to the COM (Commercial) Future Land Use Designation and a change in
zoning from the CN (Commercial Neighborhood) and CG (Commercial General) Zoning
Districts to the CG (Commercial General) Zoning District for property located at the southwest
corner of the intersection of South 25`s Street and Midway Road, a 1.2 acre property located on
the Southwest corner of the intersection of South 25t' Street and Midway Road
Approval of this petition is required to allow the applicant to seek a change in zoning for the
subject property from the CG (Commercial, General) and CN (Commercial, Neighborhood)
Zoning Districts to the CG (Commercial, General) Zoning District.
The stated purpose of the requested change in future land use is to develop the property for
commercial general uses. The current future land use designation allows for commercial general
uses at the corner of the subject property and limited commercial uses on the remainder of the
subject property In reviewing this application for a proposed amendment staff has found the
request to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
In reviewing this application for a change in the future land use classification, staff recognizes
that through prior changes in zoning and future land use classifications, the adjacent
neighborhood, to the south of the subject property has been buffered from the full effects of the
CG (Commercial, General) Zoning District by a portion of the entire subject property being
zoned CN (Commercial, Neighborhood). The proposed Future Land Use Classification change
and concurrent request for a change in zoning to CG would allow the continuation of a CN
buffer, though the size of the buffer width would be reduced.
Based upon the information provided, staff has found that the proposed future land use change is
consistent with the Goals, Objectives, and Policies as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff
recommends that this petition be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a
recommendation of approval, specifically the following specifically the following:
The future land use classifications surrounding the subject property are RS (Residential
Suburban) to the southeast and RU (Residential Urban) to the south and east. The northeast and
northwest corners of the intersection of South 25"' Street and Midway Road are designated with a
future land use classification of COM (Commercial). The existing future land use classification
of RU allows residential densities of up to 5 units per gross acre and some limited commercial
uses and COM allows all commercial zoning districts, including CG (Commercial, General).
Staff is recommending that these -petitions -be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners -
with a recommendation of approval.
Chairman Merritt asked if the petitioner was present. Mr. Dave Fender came forward.
Mr. Dave Fender — 4206 Sunrise — stated that he agreed with the staff recommendation. He
further stated that his mother owns the property. In his opinion the CG (Commercial General)
Zoning District will give a better opportunity for development on this site.

Mr. Hearn stated that he is confused with the area of the Commercial General before the road
widening.
Mr. Fender stated he lost a portion of the property due to the widening of 25"' Street and to
easements.
Mr. Hearn stated that it appears based upon the Staff's comments contained in the Staff
Memorandum that the property owner reacquired the land.
Mr. Fender stated that the subject property is located at a major 4-lane intersection that is a dead
intersection. The medians constructed at 25`h Street and Midway Road killed the intersection and
made the site hard to market and develop.
Mr. Hearn stated that there is residentially zoned property to the east that he is worried about. If
the commercial general is allowed at this site what is the impact on the homes in the area. He
further stated that it appears that the size of the land buffers may not be sufficient for the
residential area, absent specifics about the project, what is proposed, hours of operation, etc.
Mr. Fender stated that the buffer area is 30 foot in width and contains a number of trees. He
further stated that this a major intersection with commercial uses on all four corners. The
medians caused the necessity for the widened developed property.
Mr. McCurdy asked if the existing buffer area would shield the existing residential area.
Mr. Fender stated that you couldn't see the houses due to the buffer area.
Mr. Merritt asked if there were any further questions of the applicant. Being none, the Chairman
opened the public hearing.
Ms. Pat Ferrick handed out a letter in response to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and to the
Rezoning petitions. Ms. Ferrick stated that she is representing the North Fork Property Owners
Association. She stated that the North Fork Property Owners finds that rezoning 02-022 and PA-
02-005 is in conflict with Section 1.02.00, Purpose and Intent:
In order to preserve, protect and improve public health, safety, comfort, good
order, appearance, and general welfare; encourage the most appropriate use of
land, water and resources; preserve and enhance the value of land and the
character and stability of residential areas, etc.
Ms. Ferrick further stated that the proposed rezoning would be creating a negative impact on the
property values of the abutting properties to the south namely Twelve Oaks. It will deteriorate
the quality of life for the residents, and seriously deteriorate the tax based in this area. The
proposed zoning change and plan amendment would not be in harmony with the purpose and
intent of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code.
The purpose of the CN (Commercial Neighborhood) district is to provide and protect an
environment suitable for limited retail trade and service activities covering a relatively small area
and that is intended to serve the population living in surrounding neighborhoods.
P & Z Meeting
March 20, 2003
Page 9
F { F
The CG (Commercial General) zoning district is to provide and protect an environment suitable
for a wide variety of commercial uses intended to serve a population over a large market area.
The size of this property and the ingress and egress is not compatible with the above zoning
district.
The proposed amendment to COM land uses is inconsistent with the surrounding neighborhoods.
The footage of this property on Midway Road is approximately 410.11 and 281.44 feet on South
25'h Street. The proposed request is "spot General Commercial" zoning and land use. It is
incompatible with the residential nature of abutting properties.
The roadway 25 b Street and Midway Road, has enough General Commercial zoning. Both the
zoning change and the land use amendment will adversely impact the quality of life in the
immediate surrounding area. Due to noise pollution, light pollution, etc., the quality of life for
the adjoining residents will be severely and adversely impacted.
If you look at the General Commercial uses you will note gas stations and next to gas stations
you will note the sic code 5541 gasoline stations combined with all other activities, such as
grocery stores, convenience stores or carwashes, are classified according to the primary activity.
There is not a plan that necessitates this change the application states that the reason for the
rezoning is to recapture land that was lost due to the expansion of St. James. The property owner
was amply compensated for the small portion of the property that was taken.
If you look at the aerial that is provided in your packet you can see how the encroachment of
Commercial General will adversely impact the property owners to the south. You will note that
the SE corner is Commercial Neighborhood. The large tract of land on the NW corner is
commercial providing more than enough commercial usage in this corridor. This indeed would
be a spot commercial and we all know the deleterious effect that spot commercial zoning has all
over the county. Here today gone tomorrow and a drain on the economy and the tax base.
The petition is also inconsistent with Florida Statue 187.201(16) enhance the quality of life, etc.
Ms. Ferrick further stated that there is a problem with ingress and egress for this site. A property
can only have a right -in / right —out movement if there is not 600 feet from the intersection.
Ms. Clair Jackson, Rainbow Drive, stated that she is opposed to the proposed request for change
in land use and change in zoning as there are no plans available and she has no idea what the
petitioners are hoping to develop on this corner. The CG (Commercial, General) zoning
designation is objectionable to the neighborhood. The CN (Commercial, Neighborhood) zoning
is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The property to the north has been vacant
since -all of the trees were removed -by -Paul -Rhodes. The gas station -located on -the -southeast -
corner is unoccupied. None of the other commercial general sites back up to neighborhoods.
The existing pattern is for these small stations to open and close and leave an eyesore that
eventually impacts the property values. Please deny both of these petitions.
Mr. John Ferrick, located on South 25`h Street stated that he is representing the White City
Improvement District and they are opposed to the requested petition, as it abuts the Twelve Oaks
residential subdivision. In the opinion of the White City Improvement District the CN
(Commercial Neighborhood) Zoning District is more compatible with the surrounding area.

Mr. Tom Kine, Residing on Twig Lane stated that he is not opposed to the Fenders recapturing
the land taken from the widening of 2501 Street and Midway Road, but he is opposed to the
proposed change in land use and rezoning of the property. If you take a better look at the
surrounding area you will find an existing gas station that stands empty and a lot of businesses
that are not open. There is not a need for additional CG (Commercial General) zoning in this
area.
Mr. Fender stated that what is hearing tonight is a worry about a gas station being constructed on
this site. He stated that even under the CN (Commercial Neighborhood) Zoning District a gas
station/convenience store could be constructed on the site under the Conditional Use Permit
process. He further stated that the CG (Commercial General) Zoning District would be more
marketable and allow for a wider variety of uses.
Mr. Akins asked for clarification on the proposed use for this property.
Mr. Fender stated that he was unsure of what would be built on the site; he is looking at this
options and currently paying taxes on the site. Mr. Fender further stated that he has been granted
a full access cut from FDOT for his site. Mr. Fender stated that he felt that the medians should
be taken out at this location as they have hurt the development potential of the corners.
At this time, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
Mr. Grande made the following motion:
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 deny the application of Robert C.
Fender, for a change in land use from the RU (Residential Urban) and
COM (Commercial) to COM (Commercial) because the change reduces the
buffer more than 50% and will cause a negative impact the existing
residential areas.
Mr. Hearn seconded the motion and stated that he seconded due to the compatibility chart
indicating that CN (Commercial Neighborhood) and CO (Commercial Office) uses are
compatible with the existing land use designation but the uses within the CG (Commercial
General) zoning district are not compatible with the existing land uses.
_ Mr. Lounds stated that he, understands_the_concerns with -Grey -Twig, -as this is -a-dead-end-road - - -
But the issues with Midway Road he did not understand. Midway Road may not currently be a
major intersection, but it will be a major intersection in the future. He has concerns about the
ingress/egress for this site in relation to the existing medians on Midway Road. The CG
(Commercial General) zoning district will create a higher amount of traffic in the area. The CN
(Commercial Neighborhood) zoning district lends itself to a less traffic flow.
Mr. Merritt stated he did not see the additional footage problem of the owner. There is a 30 foot
buffer and the land use change and rezoning is not going to take it away.

Mr. Hearn stated that it is not the responsibility of the Planning and Zoning Commission to make
the property more valuable for sale. The reality is that this property is located within an existing
residential area. He is not in favor of rezoning every intersection as CG (Commercial General)
especially when the neighbors have come out in opposition to the petition.
Mr. Merritt asked staff if gas stations were conditional uses within the CG (Commercial General)
Zoning District.
Hank Flores stated that it is a permitted use therefore no conditional use permit would be
required. Any development would require an 8-foot barrier (concrete or wall or fence) with
landscaping including a tree every 30 feet.
Mr. Merritt asked if a site plan would be required.
Hank Flores responded that yes a site plan would be required.
Motion was called to deny the petition.
On roll call the motion passed by a 4-2 vote.
At this time, the Local Planning Agency adjourned and the Planning and Zoning Commission
reconvened.

AGENDA ITEM 4: ROBERT C. FENDER — RZ-02-0223�ts�is
Mr. Kelly stated that this agenda item paralleled the previous agenda item and the board must
take a separate action on the item as a formality.
Mr. Hank Flores stated that Agenda Item 4 is the application of Robert C. Fender, for a Change
in Zoning from the CN (Commercial, Neighborhood) and CG (Commercial, General) Zoning
Districts to the CG (Commercial, General) Zoning District for property located on the Southwest
corner of the intersection of South 25"' Street and Midway Road
The stated purpose of the request is to allow the property to be developed for commercial general
uses.
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, therefore, recommending that this Board forward a recommendation of approval to Board of
County Commissioners.
Chairman Merritt asked if there were any questions for staff, being none he opened the public
hearing.
Ms. Pat Ferrick, North Fork Property Owners Association stated her previous comments went
along with this petition.
Mr. Grande made the following motion:
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 deny the application of Robert C.
Fender, for a change in zoning from the CN (Commercial Neighborhood)
and CG (Commercial General) Zoning District to the CG (Commercial
General) Zoning District because the at this point the petition would be
inconsistent with the land use.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Akins.
Upon roll call the motion passed by a vote of 4-2.

AGENDA ITEM 5: RANJAMA PATEL — CIRCLE C LIOUORS — CU-03-002:
Ms. Cyndi Snay Agenda Item 5 is the petition of Ranjama Patel to a Conditional Use Permit to
allow the operation of a retail liquor store for the offsite consumption of distilled and undistilled
alcohol within the Prima Vista Crossings to be known as Circle C Liquors. The proposed
building will be next to the existing Publix Shopping Center in the Prima Vista Crossings.
Circle C Liquors is currently operating on the west side of US Highway One, immediately across
the street from Prima Vista Crossing, in the Port St. Lucie Shopping Center. The subject
property is zoned CG (Commercial General) and the retail liquor stores for the offsite
consumption of distilled and undistilled alcohol is permitted as a Conditional Use. The subject
petition is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Codes.
Staff recommends that this petition be forwarded with a recommendation of approval
Mr. Hearn asked staff if the Conditional Use Permit was for the entire shopping center.
Ms. Snay responded that it is only being requested for Bay 121-C of the shopping center.
Mr. Hearn asked if another liquor store could go into the shopping center or was there a distance
criteria between them.
Ms. Snay responded that there is not a distance criteria between liquor stores. The only distance
criteria is for schools, parks, religious facilities within 1,000 feet. If another liquor store wished
to operate within the shopping center, they would be required to come back before both this
Board and the Board of County Commissioners requesting a conditional use permit for whatever
Bay they were looking at.
Mr. Hearn stated he was worried that the zoning maps depict the entire shopping center.
Ms. Snay pointed out that there is a layout of the shopping center in the packet which clearly
identifies where Bay 121-C is located and that is the only bay being reviewed for this type of use
at this time.
Chairman Merritt asked if there was anyone present to represent the petitioner. No one
answered. He asked the pleasure of the Board.
Mr. Lounds motioned that since the petitioner was not at the meeting then the Board
should not be heard at this time. Mr. Hearn made the motion to continue this item to the
March 28, 2003, Special Meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Mr. McCurdy seconded the motion.
On roll call the motion passed (6-0 vote).

AGENDA ITEM 6: K & M CONCRETE — FILE NO. CU-03-001:w�'aa°
Agenda Item 6 is the petition of K & M Properties of FL for a Major Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit
to allow the construction of a Concrete Batch Plant and operation of a Concrete Mixed in the IH (Industrial
Heavy) Zoning District for property located at 4170 and 4190 Selvitz Road.
The purpose of the Industrial Heavy zoning district is to provide an environment suitable for heavy
manufacturing and other activities that any impose undesirable noise, vibration, odor, dust or other
offensive effects on the surrounding area. The applicant is proposing a manufacturing use which is
consistent with this purpose.
The manufacturing of stone, clay and concrete products is permitted within the IH (Industrial Heavy)
zoning district as a conditional use.
The applicant's petition is consistent with the Land Development Code and not in conflict with the
Comprehensive Plan
Therefore, Staff is recommending approval of the applicant's request to construct a concrete batch plant and
operation of a concrete mixer subject to the following Condition:
"The applicant shall be required to install an 8-foot high opaque fence or wall constructed of concrete or
masonry materials or other similar material along the southern boundary line. The applicant shall install a
minimum of 60% of the required perimeter landscaping material on the outside of the wall, consistent with
the requirements of Section 7.09.04(E) of the Land Development Code."
Chairman Merritt asked if there was anyone present to represent the petitioner. Mr. Greg Boggs,
Thomas Lucido & Associates came forward as agent of record for the petitioner.
Mr. Boggs indicated that his client has a problem with the condition outlined in the staff report.
He stated that the proposed 6-foot fence along the property line is sufficient to buffer the
adjacent property to the south. He stated that the section sited by staff is for non-residential uses
being next to single-family residential units. He currently has a petition in for a change in zoning
and preliminary Planned Non -Residential Development (PNRD) for a Christian Campus. This
site is unique in that it has a NSLWCD Canal No. 101 which is approximately 300 feet in width
which includes a special buffer of pines, palmettos and slash pines, running the entire length of
the site, this with the existing trees and proposed landscaping would buffer the property to the
south. There would be no adverse relationship if the site only has a 6-foot fence. The closest
building to this property line would be 165 feet. His client is requesting that the site plan be
approved with only the 6-foot fence and a tree every 30 feet.
Mr. McCurdy asked Mr. Boggs if he was associated with the church site.
Mr. Boggs stated that he is the agent of record and Mr. Terry Redden is the pastor -for the facility- -
- - --and they have indicated to him that the 6foot fence would be okay with them.
Mr. Boggs further indicated that the church property owner is proposing to rezone their tract of
land from AR-1 (Agricultural Residential) to PNRD (Planned Non -Residential Development).
Mr. Merritt asked if staff had heard from any of the surrounding property owners.
Ms. Snay stated she had not heard from any of the surrounding property owners. Ms. Snay
further indicated that there is a site plan under review by the Development Review Committee
P & Z Meeting

but at this time, the property has not been rezoned nor has the site plan been determined to meet
the technical requirements of the Land Development Code or consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
Mr. Kelly stated that Mr. Redden had been in touch with him regarding this site plan. Mr.
Redden requested general information regarding the proposed project. Mr. Kelly stated that he
described the requested petition including the staff condition on the 8-foot fence or masonry
wall. Mr. Redden was satisfied with the petition after finding out about the buffering
requirements and eight -foot fence. Mr. Redden further indicated that he would not attend the
meeting in opposition to the proposed project based upon staff's recommendation. Mr. Kelly
further stated that this is an issue that needs to be worked out by the applicant and the adjacent
property owner.
Mr. Boggs requested that staff clarify why this code section would apply to this petition.
Ms. Snay responded that the adjacent property has an existing Residential Suburban (RS) land
use designation and AR-1 (Agricultural, Residential — 1 du/acre) Zoning Classification. The
code has been determined to be applied to properties with a non-residential use being applied to a
residential use not just a residential structure.
Mr. Merritt stated that the proposed project will be an improvement over what is existing there
today.
Mr. Hearn agreed with Mr. Merritt. Further, he asked Mr. Boggs to explain what native
vegetation was located along the southern property line.
Mr. Boggs showed a graphic of the site.
Mr. Hearn asked if the vegetation is actually on the site right now or proposed to be on the site in
the future.
Mr. Boggs responded that the vegetation exists on the site right now. Mr. Boggs further stated
that they are proposing a 6-foot fence with trees.
Mr. Hearn asked if the fence would be wooden.
Mr. Boggs stated that the 8-foot high fence condition would be overkill on the County's part.
Mr. Hearn asked staff to clarify why the 8-foot high fence was being required.
Mr. Kelly stated the 8-foot high fence_ is based _on -the _ Residential land_use_to_the _south._Mr._
Kelly also stated that he can confirm that the statements made by Mr. Boggs regarding a
proposed Preliminary PNRD plan for New Life Christian had been submitted to the County's
Development Review Committee.
Mr. Kelly stated that as Mr. Boggs is in contact with both the petitioner and the southern
property owner that he could work out a compromise between the two entities. The Land
Development Code does give the Board of County Commissioners the authority to waive the
P & Z Meeting

buffering requirements between residential and nonresidential uses, if the adjacent property
owner submits a letter of support for the waiver.
Mr. Grande asked if they could pass the petition with staff s condition as requested at this point,
and allow Mr. Boggs to work with the southern property owner and the petitioner to come up
with a solution to remove the condition.
Mr. Kelly stated that the Land Development Code allows the Board of County Commissioners to
release the requirements of Section 7.09.04(E) with a written letter from the southern property
owner supporting the reduction in the height of the wall.
Mr. McCurdy asked if there were any further questions of the applicant. Being none, the
Chairman opened the public hearing.
After seeing no one, Mr. McCurdy closed the public hearing.
Mr. Lounds asked what was presently on the property.
Mr. Merritt stated a junkyard.
Mr. Lounds further asked for clarification on whether or not the applicant's were requesting a
rezoning for this property.
Ms. Snay responded that no rezoning was necessary, the petitioned use was allowed after
Conditional Use review and approval.
Mr. Grande asked Mr. Boggs if his client would be okay with this Board recommending approval
with the proposed contingency that the Board of County Commissioners can remove the
condition before they pass it, if the issue can be solved between the two property owners.
Mr. Boggs stated he could support this type of approval.
Mr. Lounds stated that he agrees with this only if the decision is that the fence be lowered to 6
feet and the vegetation was still provided.
Mr. Grande stated he didn't disagree with what Mr. Lounds said. Mr. Grande indicated he
wanted to give the property owners the opportunity to discuss the issue and work out a
satisfactory solution to the problem. His only concern was that the property owner to the south,
based upon discussions with staff, had no problem with the project if the 8-foot fence was
provided as recommended by staff. The condition would give Mr. Boggs time to meet with both
entities and finalize a solution.
Mr. Hearn asked if New Life Christian would have any residential uses at all.
Mr. Boggs stated that there is an adult living facility proposed for the southern component of the
site.
Mr. Hearn stated that this Board should approve the condition as recommended by staff and
allow the Board of County Commissioners to make a change if they want to. It would be

different if New Life Christian was approved and already there, then he could support the 6 foot
fence but at this time he can't support the 6-foot fence.
Mr. Merritt stated he was struggling with the issue, about what the Board could legally do. Do
they have the right to approve the 6-foot fence instead of the 8-foot fence?
Ms. Young stated that the Board if they want to approve the petition it should include the
condition for the 8-foot high fence. The Board may recommend to the Board of County
Commissioners to compromise with the condition.
Mr. Grande made the following motion:
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 approve the application of K & M
Concrete of FL, LLC, for a conditional use permit to construct a Concrete
Batch Plant and allow the operation of a concrete mixer in the IH
(Industrial Heavy) Zoning District with the one limiting condition
recommended by Staff and request the Board of County Commissioners to
review the condition and make a ruling based upon a joint decision made by
the property owner and the southern property owner.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Akins.
Upon the roll call, the motion was approved unanimously (with a vote of 6-0).

AGENDA ITEM 7: RODNEY HOPKINS — FILE NO. RZ-03-006:
f-�
q
,.�� bh
Mr. Hank Flores stated that Agenda Items 7 & 8 are two separate petitions but for clarity will be
discussed together but a separate motion must be made for each of the items. The applicant
Rodney Hopkins is requesting a change in zoning from the I (Institutional) Zoning District to the
CG (Commercial, General) Zoning District. The applicant, Rodney Hopkins, has applied for the
rezoning in order to go forward with a request for a conditional use in order to operate a time-
share from the subject property. Hotel/Motels (time-shares) are allowed as conditional uses in
the CG (Commercial, General) Zoning District subject to the approval of the Board of County
Commissioners. The proposed time-share operation is to be housed in a now vacant, previously
operating hotel facility.
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.
Mr. Merritt asked if there were any questions for staff, hearing none Mr. Merritt asked if the
petitioner would come to the podium.
Mr. Rodney Hopkins, 4891 N. US Highway 1, stated that reason for the previous change that
occurred a month or so ago was to help the elderly in St. Lucie County. Since the time of the
previous rezoning there have been four or five isolated deaths last year in assisted living care
facilities all over the state. Because of poor care on the deaths the insurance rates have risen to
the point where the facility would not be an affordable operation. My intent was to make this
facility affordable to the elderly to live there, for example a facility with 11 tenants previously
paid an insurance rate of $9,000.00, today she is paying $25,000.00. There was no way to keep
down the rising cost of an assisted living facility.
When I bought this piece of property I was looking at it in two ways, the assisted living facility
was my first choice; the second choice was as a timeshare/Hotel/Motel.
What I am trying to do with the timeshare, most timeshares are pretty expensive on the most part,
what I am attempting to target the individuals that make between $75,000 and $150,000 a year.
The facility will have a club house and pool on the site, plusthe fact that St. Lucie County has a
number of sites around for the patrons to see. It would be more affordable for tourists to utilize
and enjoy the county.
Mr. Merritt asked if the Board had any questions for the petitioner.
Mr. Merritt opened the public hearing on this item
Mr. Hopkins stated that in this County we do not have a timeshare facility.
Mr. Merritt closed the public hearing and brought the petition back to the Board for discussion.
Mr. Hearn stated he wants staff to know he supports the project, but he questioned staff that
when the Board gets the Conditional Use Permit for this request and the petitioner is asking for a
P & Z Meeting
March 20, 2003
Page 19
Conditional Use Permit to allow for hotel/motel would that conditional use &I't allow the .
applicant to operate a hotel or motel in lieu of the timeshare.
Mr. Kelly affirmed that this was correct.
Mr. Lounds made the following motion:
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 approve the application of Rodney
Hopkins, for a change in zoning from I (Institutional) Zoning District to the
CG (Commercial General) Zoning District because it would improve the
value of this piece of property and enhance the end result of what Mr.
Hopkins is trying to do and will help the economy of St. Lucie Count by
adding to the Tourist base.
Mr. Akins seconded the motion.
Upon roll call the petition passed unanimously (6-0 vote).

Mr. Hank Flores stated that Agenda Item 9 is the petition of Chitto and Maria Sarkar for a Change in
Zoning from the CO (Commercial Office) Zoning District to the CG (Commercial, General) Zoning District
for property located on the Southwest corner of the intersection of Prima Vista Boulevard and Airoso
Boulevard. Subsequent, to the application for the change in zoning, the Sarkar's amended their request
from the change in zoning from CG (Commercial General) to the CN (Commercial, Neighborhood). The
stated purpose of the rezoning is to develop the property for a restaurant.
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 Merritt asked if the petitioner was present then requested that he come forward.
Mr. Chitto Sarkar stated that the reason they were requesting the rezoning was to purchase the
property in order to develop the property as a restaurant. He stated that in his opinion a
restaurant is very appropriate for the area. The property next door is currently utilized for a gas
station and the other side has a convenience store.
Mr. Lounds asked what the hours of operation for this facility.
Mr. Sarkar indicated that the hours of operation would be loam to 10pm. Mr. Sarkar stated that
the gas station across the street is a 24-hour facility.
Mr. Hearn asked staff to clarify whether or not Lot 1 and 2 were CO (Commercial Office). His
understanding was that the petitioner was only asking a change in zoning for Lot 1 to CN
(Commercial Neighborhood). Having that type of zoning to the south of the CN (Commercial
Neighborhood) would eliminate the requirement to have the fence between the two properties.
Mr. Flores stated that it would depend on the interpretation nonresidential to residential uses;
there is a residential use on Lot 2.
Mr. Merritt asked if Lot 2 was a residential use.
Mr. Hearn stated that it doesn't appear that way on the map. It appears that it is CO
(Commercial, Office).
Mr. Kelly stated that the property is zoned CO (Commercial, Office) but if you look at the aerial,
there is a home on Lot 2.
Mr. Lounds asked for clarification on whether a home is allowed in the CO (Commercial, Office)
zoning.
Mr. Kelly clarified that the property is zoned CO (Commercial Office) there is a nonconforming
home on Lot 2. The property is nonconforming because of the zoning; however, staff has
determined that where there is homes in commercial zoning if something were to happen, we are
not fully treating them as the nonconforming, we have made some allowances. There is a home

AGENDA ITEM 8: RODNEY HOPKINS — CU-03-003: 1..SU �aJ / ✓ a..
Mr. Hopkins gave a brief explanation on a timeshare. A timeshare has 52 week in which each
room is sold for a week at a time. They could only be rented out if the week is vacant or still on
the market. The bottom line to accommodate a hotel/motel with a timeshare, the hotel/motel
action only occurs when a week has not been sold.
Mr. Hearn asked Mr. Hopkins if he would have a problem with the Board approving the
Conditional Use Permit for only the timeshare use and not permitting the hotel/motel operation.
Mr. Hopkins stated he would have a problem with this condition. If in the future he sold his
property he would not be permitted the hotel/motel use.
Mr. Hearn stated that they would have to go through the Conditional Use Permit process.
Mr. Lounds asked Mr. Hearn if what he was recommending is that Mr. Hopkins could not rent
out his unit, during a week that he did not have a sale for that week.
Mr. Hearn stated that is not what he was intending. He further states that Mr. Hopkins appears to
be want to operate a timeshare operation and I am asking if he has a problem with us limiting his
use to the timeshare operation only. It would not be a straight hotel/motel Conditional Use
Permit that stays with the property forever. I would support either concept, but if Mr. Hopkins is
comfortable with a timeshare.
Mr. Hopkins stated he is comfortable with the timeshare/hotel/motel concept because I have
spent thousands of dollars on this property and have turned a disaster into something special. I
would rather have the opportunity for the hotel/motel and timeshare.
Mr. Hearn made the following motion
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 approve the application of Rodney
Hopkins, for a conditional use permit to allow the operation of a
Hotel/Motel (Time -Share) in the CG (Commercial General) Zoning District
because it is appropriate for the surrounding neighborhood and it will be a
tremendous economic benefit to the community and Mr. Hopkins has done
a fantastic job in rehabilitating the property.
Mr. McCurdy seconded the Motion.
Upon roll call the petition passed unanimously (7-0 vote).

there, it could potentially be there for a number of years, and it is a residential use. Therefore,
the requirement for an 8-foot wall/fence would be enforced on this site.
Mr. Merritt asked staff if the lot would meet the required square footage for CO (Commercial,
Office) if something happened to the house.
Mr. Kelly stated he was not sure if it would, that would make it nonconforming in another
manner if something were to happen to the house. It still is a nonconforming lot. The situation
here is that we do have two commercial properties under separate tax ID numbers and Mr. Sarkar
has an interest in one of them and not the other.
Mr. Flores stated that Lot 2 would not meet the minimum 10,000 square foot criteria for CO
(Commercial Office). In fact, I believe the property has been zoned such since about 1990.
Mr. Merritt asked if we were creating a future problem.
Mr. Flores stated, not necessarily, that a person could take the house and convert it to a
commercial use as long as the use is permitted within the CO (Commercial Office)
Mr. Hearn asked staff to clarify whether he understood the comments from staff, if the zoning is
changed there would be a requirement for an 8-foot fence/wall between the two properties.
Mr. Flores responded in the affirmative.
Mr. Grande stated that he felt the PNRD (Planned Non -Residential Zoning) Zoning across the
street is preferable for this particular lot, but I think it would be an onerous requirement on the
petitioner at this point in time. If the change to CN (Commercial Neighborhood) is approved
then I really see no problem with the intended use as a restaurant. I would stated that I would not
consider a Conditional Use Permit in the future for either a car wash or a gasoline service station
on this site.
Mr. Merritt asked if the board had any further comments or questions for the petitioner.
At this time, the Public Hearing was opened.
No person requested the opportunity to address the Board, so the Public Hearing was closed.
Mr. McCurdy made the following motion:
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 Chitto and Maria Sarkar, for a change in zoning from the CO

OTHER BUSINESS/DISCUSSION
No business was discussed.
The public hearing was adjourned.
Mr. Kelly informed the Board that there was a scheduled meeting on March 27, 2003 of this
Board to consider the rezoning petition for Wal-Mart and the petition of Ranjama Patel
continued this evening.
Mr. Merritt asked Mr. Kelly to discuss how the proposed lawsuit will effect the zoning request.
Mr. Kelly stated the rezoning request is still in and is a valid request and the County can certainly
continue to process the zoning. The lawsuit and what may come from that is a separate action
and I think it is the intent of the Board of County Commissioners to be moving ahead on all other
parts of the petition, while we see how the lawsuit plays out, but I don't believe there is a need
for us to stop or back off on that issue.
