DATE: October 19, 2010
SUBJECT: "After the Fact" Revocable License Agreement
Leonard and Marilyn Walinski
2608 Gray Twig Lane
BACKGROUND:
Leonard and Marilyn Walinski contacted Property Acquisitions for a License Agreement to
replace wood panels on their fence in Twelve Oaks Subdivision. The fence is located within
the County's 6 foot Drainage and Utility Easement at the rear of their property. During our
review we learned a License Agreement was not on file for the initial fence. We have included
the entire fence in an "After the Fact" Revocable License Agreement.
Staff has approved their request for the "After the Fact" License Agreement with the
understanding if the encroachment causes any flooding or needs to be removed they must
move it immediately at their expense.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board approve the "After the Fact" Revocable License Agreement,
authorize the Chairman to sign the "After the Fact" Revocable License Agreement and direct
Mr. and Mrs. Walinski to record the Agreement in the Public Records of St. Lucie County,
Florida.

PROGRAM
Subgrant Recipient: St. Lucie County Board of Commissioners
Implementing Agency: St. Lucie County Sheriffs Office
Project Start Date: 10/1/2010 End Date: 9/30/2011
Problem Identification
The St. Lucie Sheriffs Office Patrol Unit is in urgent need of new state of the art In -car Digital
Video Recording Systems for its eleven (11) law enforcement patrol vehicles. Presently, the Patrol
Unit uses an out dated video recording system that uses VHS cartridges which can be
compromised by the high temperatures often experienced in Florida law enforcement vehicles
resulting in poor recording quality.

The St. Lucie County Sheriffs Office Patrol Traffic Unit is responsible for the enforcement of traffic
laws, including the investigation of vehicle related accidents, traffic related homicides, operating
the Breath Alcohol Testing Mobile Unit (BAT Mobile), participate in DUI (driving under the
influence) checkpoints aimed at deterring impaired drivers, and vehicle safety checkpoints. The
Traffic Unit also utilizes various forms of speed measuring devices to identify and apprehend all
other traffic violations. The unit conducts selective enforcement projects (Click It or Ticket, Over
the Limit Under Arrest), supervises school crossing guards and civilian parking enforcement,
provides traffic and parking enforcement and conducts driver safety awareness programs and
project such as roadway message boards and speed status trailers.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
The St. Lucie County Sheriff?s Office and St. Lucie County submit this application for funding for
the prevention and control of crime in St. Lucie County, Florida. This grant will enable the St.
Lucie County Sheriff?s Office to purchase much needed law enforcement (non -budgeted)
equipment and supplies that will help better serve the citizens of St. Lucie County. The St. Lucie
County Sheriff?s Office will use the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Countywide Grant to fund its
Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement program. The Sheriff?s Office will advance
and enhance its Patrol Traffic Unit with the purchase of twelve (12) state of the art Mobile Digital
Video Recording Systems (Eleven systems will be installed in agency patrol vehicles to record
traffic incidents/investigations and one system will be installed in the DUI Processing Room
located at the St. Lucie County Detention Center) and one Digital Camera Package with external
flash, carrying case and assorted telephoto lens. The purchase of this equipment will greatly
advance and enhance the activities of the St. Lucie County Sheriff?s Office Patrol Traffic Unit
while ensuring the safety of patrol deputies and maintaining the integrity of all evidence obtained
during investigations. Presently, the Patrol Unit uses an out dated video recording system that
uses VHS cartridges which can be compromised by the high temperatures often experienced in
Florida law enforcement vehicles resulting in poor recording quality.
DUI Processing Surveillance Recording
When a Patrol deputy suspects an individual is driving impaired that individual will be transported
to the St. Lucie County Detention Center for processing. DUI processing involves interviewing,

sobriety test. A video/audio recording of all individuals undergoing DUI processing at the St. Lucie
County Detention Center will be maintained and placed into evidence.
The Mobile Digital Video Recording System is a fully -integrated digital video recording system
which can support up to six (6) video cameras in one law enforcement vehicle. The system has
the capability to simultaneously display and record as many as five camera feeds, so patrol
deputies can effortlessly monitor their entire surroundings from the driver?s seat maximizing
officer safety. Live video streaming provides headquarter monitoring capabilities to ensure added
safety for deputies during traffic stops and investigations. The system provides clear video and
audio recordings to be used as evidence in court hearings. Deputies wear a digital wireless on -
body microphone which provides clear audio recordings. The system includes onboard storage,
transfer, GPS, and seamless video management, archiving and retrieving. The system is
designed so evidence once recorded can not be changed or distributed without proper
permission. The process of recording, transferring, and storing recorded evidence is fully
automatic. Videos can be transferred directly from the patrol cars to the Sheriff?s Office servers in
a matter of minutes, using wireless internet hotspots located at the Sheriff?s Office administrative
building and the county jail, so deputies never have to handle the evidence. The cost of twelve
(12) Digital Video Recorder kits and equipment is $67,596.89.
Digital Camera
The Patrol Unit is also in need of a Digital Camera to use in its traffic investigation to provide still
pictures for evidence gathering. The cost of one (1) digital camera package is $1,121.11.

FROM: Marie M. Gouin, Director
DATE: October 19, 2010
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 10-279, policy related to the County's emergency reserves and fund
balance reserves
ITEM NO. VI-E
Background:
During the fiscal year 2011 budget process, the Board made changes to the County's emergency
reserve calculation and kept the Fund Balance Reserve calculation the same. These reserve
policies are:
• Emergency Reserves — The Board will maintain a designated emergency reserve of 5% of
the total operating budget excluding funds that have a minimum of 10% or $2 million in
reserves (whichever is greater). By majority vote, the Board may use all or a portion of
this designated Emergency Reserve, however, the use is normally reserved for natural or
manmade disasters.
• Fund Balance Reserve — The Board will maintain a fund balance reserve in the general
fund equal to 5% of the general fund operating budget. By a majority vote, the Board may
use all or a portion of this fund balance reserve to address unanticipated revenue
shortfalls or any unforeseen expenditures not necessarily resulting from a natural disaster.
For fiscal year 2011, the reserves are fully funded at these levels. The emergency reserve budget
is $10,699,726 and the fund balance reserve budget is $3,647,551.
Recommendation:
Board approval of Resolution No. 10-279, establishing a policy for the County's emergency
reserves and fund balance reserves, and authorization for the Chairman to sign documents as
approved by the County Attorney.

RESOLUTION NO. 10-279
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING BUDGET POLICIES FOR
THE FUNDING AND USE OF EMERGENCY RESERVES AND
FUND BALANCE RESERVES; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has
made the following determinations:
1. As several of the County's funds have sufficient reserves for emergency, it
is appropriate to exclude such funds from the annual budget emergency reserve
calculation.
2. The County's bond rating agencies have recommended the Board establish a
formal policy for funding and use of the fund balance reserves.
3. The Board has determined that it is appropriate to establish a policy
regarding the future funding and use of emergency and fund balance reserves.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of
St. Lucie County, Florida:
1. The Board hereby adopts the following budget policies:
A. Emergency Reserve Fund - The Board shall maintain a designated
Emergency Reserve Fund equal to 5% of the total operating budget
excluding funds that have a minimum of 10% or $2,000,000.00 in reserves,
whichever is greater. By majority vote, the Board may use all or a portion
of this designated Emergency Reserve Fund. Such use shall normally be
reserved, however, for natural or manmade disasters.
B. Fund Balance Reserves - The Board shall maintain a Fund Balance
Reserve in the General Fund equal to 5% of the General Fund operating
budget. By a majority vote, the Board may use all or a portion of this fund
balance reserve to address unanticipated revenue shortfalls or any
unforeseen expenditures not necessarily resulting from a natural or
manmade disaster.
2. This resolution shall take effect retroactively on October 1, 2010.

for the above property until a later time, but no later than the application for a final
development order for the same property.
I understand and acknowledge that the above listed property will be subject to the
certificate of capacity before any final development order can be issued, and that St.
Lucie County can make no guarantee that adequate public facilities will be available
when I apply for the final development order.
I further acknowledge that according to Section 5.08.01 of the St. Lucie County LDC, no
final development approval can be granted until capacity in those facilities is available at
that time. The issuance of a preliminary development order without a certificate of
capacity creates no vested or other rights to develop the subject property.

57 Petition of PGA Village for a Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment from RS
58 (Residential Suburban — 2 du/acre) to COM (Commercial). Staff comments and
59 presentation by Britton DeWitt.
60 Ms. Young asked Mrs. Hammer whether there would be any financial gain to her or the PGA
61 Village Board of Directors. Mrs. Hammer stated that the PGA was not a member of the PGA
62 Village homeowners' association and any impact would affect all property owners in PGA
63 Village. Based upon Mrs. Hammers' comments, Ms. Young stated there did not appear to be
64 a conflict for Mrs. Hammer on the petition
65 Mrs. Hammer disclosed that she is not a member of PGA of America.

66 Mrs. DeWitt presented the petition.

67 Greg Boggs, of Lucido and Associates, representing the applicant, stated this would be a
68 phased project and the land use amendment is the first phase. He stated that in the future they
69 would submit a development application that would include a club expansion and lodge to
70 make an all inclusive resort environment. Mr. Boggs stated the team is here to answer any
71 questions.
72 The Commission discussed what would be allowed under the current approval, and about the
73 impact on existing hotels in the area.
74 Chairman Mundt opened the public hearing.
75 George Henderson, a PGA Village resident, spoke in favor of the petition, citing the financial
76 benefits of the proposed lodge and PGA America's positive impact on the area so far.
77 Tom Can, a member of PGA and a PGA Village resident, stated he believes there is an over
78 abundance of places to stay in the area. He stated though he is a member and all for the PGA,
79 he is reluctant to support the hotel at this time.
80 Peter Perry, a PGA Village resident, spoke in favor of the petition. He stated PGA is a vital
81 business partner to the county, and he believes any development by them will be a positive
82 enhancement and contribute to long-term values.
83 Gene Antuna, a member of PGA, and a PGA Village resident, spoke in favor of the petition. He
84 stated he moved here because of PGA, and he believes supporting this is the best for them
85 and us.
86 David Gallup, a PGA Village resident, spoke in opposition to the petition, and stated he think it
87 would negatively affect the other hotels in the area.
88 Chairman Mundt closed the public hearing.
89 Mr. Mowery asked if the request was only for a small-scale amendment because he saw a
90 reference to an accompanying major adjustment to the PNRD petition.
91 Mrs. DeWitt stated in the pre -application letter there was talk of doing the adjustment at the
92 same time, but the applicant will not come forward until after approval of the land use
93 amendment.
94 Dennis Murphy, of Culpepper and Terpening, representing the applicant, stated they had
95 originally intended to submit both applications at the same time, but they decided to do the
96 plan amendment first, and then bring the major adjustment afterwards.

97 Mr. Culverhouse disclosed he was senior counsel and chairman of the bankruptcy practice
98 division of Sachs Sax Caplan, who represented Associations within PGA Village.
99 Mr. Lounds stated he finds it rewarding that PGA would like to bring a benefit to St. Lucie
100 County during this economic situation. He believes corporate America will bring their sales
101 force and customers to the resort and the other area hotels will get the overflow. Mr. Lounds
102 stated he thinks it will stimulate the county's economy.
103 Mrs. Hammer asked why the amendment area was 9.9 instead of 10 acres
104 Mr. Murphy stated commercial land use amendments less than 10 acres may be approved at
105 the local level, rather than the state level, though the same standards of review need to be
106 met. Mr. Murphy stated lodging is not allowed in the RS-3 land use so they have to change to
107 Commercial.
108 Mrs. Hammer stated her concern that the land use change will open up the possibility of
109 commercial uses other than the lodge. Ms. Hammer also stated concerns regarding the height
110 of the proposed lodge, and a flooding issue in the area.
111 Mr. Murphy stated though other uses could be applied, they would have to provide a specific
112 list of activities that will take place on the property when they go through the PNRD approval
113 process and the ultimate control will rest on the Board of County Commissioners. He stated
114 they are not in a position to commit to any height at this time because it is a design issue that
115 will be addressed as part of the PNRD.
116 Bob Baldassari, General Manager and PGA Professional at PGA Village, stated PGA brings a
117 lot of credibility and prestige to St. Lucie County, and they are not going anywhere. Mr.
118 Baldassari stated PGA has an ownership stake at the Hilton Garden Inn and would not want to
119 take away from that business. He stated the lodging component is years away. Mr. Baldassari
120 stated they are looking at ways to solve the flooding issue.
121 Mrs. Hammer stated she is disappointed there is no commitment to a height restriction, and
122 there was nothing in writing that this would strictly be a hotel.
123 Ms. Caron stated her concern they are being asked to trust PGA and in prior experience has
124 been let down by applicants that changed their plans after preliminary approval.
125 Mr. Murphy stated PGA of America has represented consistently during its tenure in St. Lucie
126 County that they will do a first class job in whatever they do. He stated he could not state a
127 specific height number because they have not finished the designs.
128 The Commission continued to discuss what may be approved with the petition, and their level
129 of comfort with it.

130 Ms. Young stated the petition is a future land use amendment and it is not appropriate to
131 attach conditions to that approval or denial, if it is approved it will come back as an amendment
132 to the PNRD and at that time you will have more specific things to suggest.
133 Mr. Mundt stated the PNRD gives us the opportunity to shape a project to the benefit of
134 everyone. He stated he had not heard an objection from any hotels, or the Treasure Coast
135 Regional Planning Council. Mr. Mundt stated he has attended Tourist Development Council
136 meetings and PGA attends and is supportive of tourism in the area. Mr. Mundt stated staff
137 supports it, and it will go to the BOCC who have the community's interest at heart. He stated
138 he will support this.
139 Mrs. Hammer asked if the land use change is approved, and the applicant came back with a
140 PNRD application for an industrial use, would that be approved.
141 Ms. Young stated it would not be automatic, but it allows them to apply for those uses.
142 Mr. Mowery stated this is part of a DRI and there are certain intensities that are provided for
143 and if they are exceeded it would need to go through an NOPC process, which is difficult.
144 Mr. Lounds made the motion:
145 After considering the testimony presented during the public hearing, including
146 staff comments, I hereby move that the Planning And Zoning Commission of St.
147 Lucie County recommend that the St. Lucie County Board of County
148 Commissioners approve the petition of PGA Reserve Inc., for a small-scale
149 amendment to the Future Land Use Map from RS (Residential Suburban — 2
150 Du/Acre) to COM (Commercial) because I think it will enhance the economy,
151 enhance the surrounding property, and I think it brings a lot of ingenuity to the
152 area.
153 Mr. Culverhouse seconded. The motion carried 5-1 with Mrs. Hammer dissenting.

155 C. ROW Protection Map in LDC: Ordinance No. 10-036
156 Petition of St. Lucie County for a Text Amendment to the Land Development Code to

160 The Commission discussed why some of the changes were made to the map, and why it
161 would be moved from the Comp Plan to the Land Development Code with the assistance of
162 Mr. Harris.
163 Mr. Culverhouse asked whether specific roads were acquired yet.
164 Mr. Harris stated some of the proposed rights of way are developer driven, so the map will give
165 the County the legal right to request the right of way from the developer for impact fee credits
166 and or cash.
167 Mr. Mowery asked whether staff was comfortable with the fact that every time a change is
168 made to this map once it is in the LDC it will have to come before the Commission.
169 Mrs. DeWitt stated the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are a more onerous process
170 than the amendments to the Code.
171 Mr. Harris stated in order to give us the legal right to exact the right of way from the developer;
172 it needs to have Board and Local Planning Agency review.
173 Ms. Young stated that is correct, by having it be formally adopted, it gives us protection, and it
174 makes it easier for developers to look at what is around their property.
175 Chairman Mundt opened the public hearing.
176 No one spoke.
177 Chairman Mundt closed the public hearing.
178 Mr. Lounds made the motion:
179 After considering the testimony presented during the public hearing, including
180 staff comments, I hereby move that the Planning and Zoning Commission of St.
181 Lucie County recommend that the St. Lucie County Board of County
182 Commissioners approve the text amendment to the Land Development Code to
183 include the updated Right -of -Way Protection Map because I think it provides us
184 with a consistent view of future land developments in St. Lucie County.
185 Ms. Caron seconded. The motion carried 5-0.

197 Petition of St. Lucie County to amend the St. Lucie County Land Development Code to
198 provide for Eminent Domain Waivers by amending Section 2.00.00 "Definitions" to
199 include definitions of Acquiring Authority and Eminent Domain Waiver; further
200 amending Chapter 10 to add Section 10.03 "Eminent Domain Wavier" to provide for a
201 waiver where Eminent Domain action renders a site non -conforming; amending Board
202 of Adjustment power to include these waivers; providing for conflicting provisions;
203 providing for applicability; providing for severability; providing for filing with the
204 Department of State; providing an effective date; providing for adoption and providing
205 for codification. Staff comments and presentation by the County Attorney's Office.
206 Ms. Smith presented the ordinance.
207 The Commission discussed how the property owners' rights would be affected under this
208 ordinance.
209 Mr. Culverhouse suggested adding limiting language to the ordinance stating it would not be
210 introduced into evidence in any trial on the issue of severance damages.
211 Mr. Mowery suggested since there is no time constraint, the item be continued to review the
212 cases Mr. Culverhouse cited.
213 The Commission further discussed how the property owners' rights would be affected under
214 the ordinance.
215 Mr. Mundt stated based on the comments we will send this back for further discussion, and he
216 would like Mr. Culverhouse to meet with the County Attorney's office about it.

Project Description
PGA Reserve Inc. is petitioning for a
change in the Future Land Use of a
9.9 acre parcel from RS (Residential
Suburban- 2 du/acre) to COM
(Commercial).
Background
The purpose of the amendment, as
stated by the applicant, is to allow
expansion of the existing PGA Golf
clubhouse complex and new lodging
facility to serve the PGA golf facilities
located in the Reserve Development
of Regional Impact (DRI). The PGA
golf clubhouse complex is authorized
under the Final Development Order
of the Reserve DRI for approximately
90,000 square feet of overall non-
residential commercial/office use.
The clubhouse is proposed for ex-
pansion by approximately 15,000
square feet. This leaves 65,000
square feet of undeveloped com-
mercial square footage (based upon
the approved PNRD master plans for
the clubhouse complex) that can be
used for either commercial or con-
verted use purposes.
The Board of County Commissioners
strongly encourages your input and
comment at the public hearing. You
may also mail or email written com-
ments in advance of the public hear-
ing for inclusion in the official record
regarding this proceeding.

Subject: The Reserve Development of Regional Impact
Dear Mr. Boggs:
This letter is in response to your letter of June 2, 2010 requesting that Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council provide a letter agreeing that the addition of a lodge to the existing clubhouse
at PGA Village in The Reserve Development of Regional Impact would not constitute a Notice
of Proposed Change (NOPC). Based on the information provided in your letter, as well as
information receive by Peter Merritt in a telephone conversation with you on June 21, 2010 and
by email on July 22, 2010, the proposed renovations to the clubhouse area will not require a
change to the Master Plan or a change to the Development Order. Therefore, Council concurs
that the proposed activities will not require submittal of an NOPC, provided the conversion
methodology included in the Development Order is properly applied.
Please contact me or Peter Merritt if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Busha, AICP

Re: PGA Reserve — Small Area Future Land Use Map Amendment for future Clubhouse
Expansion (Our Reference Number: B09-13LP)
Dear Ms. Tetsworth,
W7e are in receipt of your letter dated Nlay 3, 2010, wherein you provided an overview of and
responses to questions raised in our meeting held on April 29, 2010 as it related to the above
referenced project. Many subjects were discussed in the aforementioned meeting, however, I would
like to address the points you raised in your above referenced letter as it relates to the Small Area
Future Land Use Map Amendment to allow for expansion of the existing clubhouse facility to
accommodate lodging (hotel) facilities; specifically, the requested justification statements to St. Lucie
County Comprehensive Plan ("Comp. Plan") Policies 1.1.8.1 through 1.1.S.11 and question # 8 (8b
and 8c).
Outlined below, beginning with Comp. Plan Objective 1.1.8, are justification statements in bold
italics below.
Objective 1.1.8: Property owners investments, their quality of life and the single family
neighborhood, as a defined residential area, shall be protected from the encroachment of commercial
and/or other inappropriate land uses through consistent predictable application of the Land
Development Regulations.
This requested amendment to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan is to provide
for a change in Future Land Use designation for a 9.9 acre (mol) parcel of land
located in the Reserve (PGA Village) Development of Regional Impact - PGA
Clubhouse Area, from the RS (Residential Suburban) to COM (Commercial) Future
Land Use designation.
The proposed designation of this property to the COM Future Land Use designation
is for the purpose of providing the opportunity to construct a new/replacement PGA
Golf clubhouse complex and administrative support area and a new golf lodging
facility that will serve the existing PGA golf facilities located at the Reserve. Final
footprints for the new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and the new
lodging facility have not yet been completed; however, the approximate square
footage of the new/replacement clubhouse complex is 30-35,000 sq. ft. In addition, it
is the objective of the petitioner to construct approximately 100 hotel units in a new
golf lodging facility that will be located on this site.
While land uses in this area are predominately residential (refer to Exhibits B and C),
the redesignation of this property to a Commercial (COM) Future Land Use
Classification, when considered along with the accompanying petition for Major
Adjustment to the sites current PNRD (Planned Non -Residential Development)
zoning approvals in order to permit the new PGA Golf clubhouse complex and golf
lodging facility, would not be considered inconsistent with other land uses found in
the area. Application of the PNRD zoning district to this property allows for a
narrow definition of the potential future uses on the property, where any deviation
from these identified uses would require that an affirmative vote for such a change
from the County Commission be obtained.
Policy 1.1.8.E All new subdivisions, planned unit developments and site development
plans shall be designed to include an efficient system of internal traffic circulation that does not
require internal trips or trips of short duration to be forced onto the major roadway network.
The requirements of this Policy are noted and acknowledged. As this policy appears
to be more of a specific site design regulating policy, at the time a formal site plan is
submitted to the County for review, compliance with this policy will be
demonstrated.
It should be noted that the petitioned parcel is part of larger, previously approved,
Development of Regional Impact. As part of the assessment of that DRI, traffic
impacts, both on -site and off -site impacts were evaluated, and a series of special
limiting conditions related to traffic needs were included in the project's Final
Development Order. Any development on this petitioned property is subject to
demonstrating compliance with these conditions as part of the site permitting process
that follows this land use amendment review.
Policy 1.1.8.2: All new subdivisions shall be designed so that all individual lots have direct
access to the internal street system, and that any lot or property along the periphery of the
development is to be buffered from any major roadway and incompatible land uses.
The proposed use shall occur within a previously approved Development of Regional
Impact, with adequate road system and buffering. No subdivision of land is proposed
at this time.
Policy 1.1.8.3: Continue to implement the counh -wide right-of-way protection regulation
and Right -of -Way Dedication Ordinance.
The petitioned property is not located adjacent to or affected by, any identified
corridor or roadway included in the county -wide right-of-way protection plan.
At the time final development permit approvals are sought, the property owners will
comply with all applicable requirements and standards of the County's Right -of -Way
Dedication regulations.
Policy 1.1.8.4: Limited development of commercial/non-residential uses gill be allowed
within areas classified for residential uses, provided that these activities are compatible with the
adjacent land uses and meet the following standards:
a) Intent of the commercial use is to provide easily accessible, convenience -type uses
to immediately surrounding residents;
N/A. The submitted petition is for a change in Future Land Use to the
COM (Commercial) future land use designation. This policy addresses the
standards for considering the application of a commercial zoning designation
in a non-commercial land use category, such as residential.
b) Property for which the commercial designation is sought is located on an Arterial or
Major Collector;
N/A. The submitted petition is for a change in Future Land Use to the
COM (Commercial) future land use designation. This policy addresses the
standards for considering the application of a commercial zoning designation
in a non-commercial land use category, such as residential.
c) Conversion of the petitioned property would not promote any strip commercial use
of land;
N/A. The submitted petition is for a change in Future Land Use to the
COM (Commercial) future land use designation. This policy addresses the
standards for considering the application of a commercial zoning designation
in a non-commercial land use category, such as residential.
d) Use is compatible with surrounding land uses and is provided with adequate
screening and buffering of any adjacent residential property;

Policy 1.1.8.5: In addition to any other general standard for change in zoning as may be
described in the County's Land Development Regulations, the following specific standards shall be
used in determining the suitability of the new property(s) for designation as Commercial General
(CG) under the County's Land Development Regulations:
a) New Commercial General (CG) property should have available to it at the time of
any zoning change central water services, or have an executed service agreement for
the provision of central water services necessary for both domestic and fire
protection purposes.
Utility services (water and waste water) are presently available to the site
and are provided by the Reserve Utility Corporation. Attached as Exhibit K
to the Map Change and Text Amendments Application Supplement are
updated service commitment requests that have been submitted to the Reserve
Utility Corporation. As responses are received the information will be
updated accordingly.
b) New Commercial General (CG) property should not be located within 300 feet of
any Aquatic Preserve or other specially designated aquatic habitat or a Category 1
Wetland as defined in Policy 8.1.14.1 of the Conservation Element of this Plan.
The lands under this petition are not located with 300 feet of any Aquatic
Preserve or other designated aquatic habitat or a Category 1 Wetland as
defined in Policy 8.1.1.14.1.
c) New Commercial General (CG) areas should have immediate access to the regional
transit network; and,
Policy 1.1.8.5(c), of the future land use element of the County's
Comprehensive Plan reads as follows:
c) New Commercial General (CG) areas should have immediate access to
the regional transportation network; and, [emphasis added]
It should be noted that the petitioned parcel is part of larger, previously
approved, Development of Regional Impact (DRI). As part of the assessment
of that DRI, traffic impacts, both on -site and off -site impacts were evaluated,
and a series of special limiting conditions related to traffic needs were
included in the project's Final Development Order. Any development on
this petitioned property is subject to demonstrating compliance with these
conditions as part of the site permitting process that follows this Future Land
Use Amendment review.
d) The property for which the commercial designation is sought does not exceed 10
acres.
Policy 1.1.8.5(d), of the Future Land Use Element of the County's
Comprehensive Plan reads as follows:
d) New Commercial General (CG) property should have a minimum lot
size of one (1) acre, unless the property is being added to another
existing commercially (general) zoned property.
The land for which the commercial designation is sought is 9.9 acres.
Policy 1.1.8.6: Require effective visual and light diffusion barriers between residential and
non-residential uses. Standards and requirements for such barriers are to be included in the
landscaping and screening regulations of the St. Lucie County Land Development Regulations.
The requirements of this Policy are noted and acknowledged. As this policy appears
to be more of a specific site design regulating policy, at the time a formal site plan is
submitted to the County for review, compliance with this policy will be
demonstrated.
Adequate screening of proposed structures in the petitioned area can be accomplished
through the use of landscape buffer plantings. Light diffusion shall be accomplished
via light shielding and/or the use of landscape buffer plantings so as to prevent light
pollution from negatively affecting residences.
Policy 1.1.8.7: 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 petitioned property is located internal to the previously approved Development
of Regional Impact (DRI) known as the Reserve. The proposed development of this
site for non-residential use will not contravene the above Comprehensive Plan policy.
Policy 1.1.8.8: Restrict strip commercial development to these 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.
N/A. The petitioned property is not a strip commercial development.
Policy 1.1.8.9: Concentrate tourist and regional service related commercial activities to
those areas adjoining the interstate highway system or that have sufficient regional automobile access.
The petitioned property is located internal to the previously approved Development
of Regional Impact (DRI) known as the Reserve. The petitioned site is within a two
(2) mile radius of the I-95/St. Lucie West (Reserve Blvd) Interchange, which provides
for regional access to this site without having to travel extensively over the local area
roadway network.
Policy 1.1.8.10: Interchange development activities should not include commercial activities
that are designed to service a small geographic market area. Local service activities should be located
at points away from an interchange so as to avoid conflicts between regional and local traffic which
can contribute to accelerated degradation of level of service in these areas.
The petitioned property is not located within a designated "Interchange development" area.
The proposed lodging facility is not considered a local service activity, as the golf facilities
attract regional guests as well as residents from within the PGA Reserve development. In
addition, the proposed lodging facility is considered and ancillary use to the golf facilities.
Policy 1.1.8.11: Encourage the use of existing commercial and industrial designated lands
within the urban service area, through requiring a strict demonstration of service availability, before
authorizing Land Use and Zoning amendments in areas not presently indicated as having such
designation.
The petitioned property is located internal to the previously approved Development
of Regional Impact (DRI) known as the Reserve. As part of the overall DRI review
process, a complete assessment of the impacts of this development on local community
services was conducted. The proposed change in Future Land Use, while considered
to be a Preliminary Development Order under the St. Lucie County Comprehensive
Plan, is not expected to provide for any greater land use entitlement than is already
recognized under the site's overriding Final Development Order of for the Reserve
DRI.
In response to question #8 (8b and 8c) in the aforementioned letter, we offer the following
responses in bold italics:
8b.) Compliance with Condition of Approval #61 in Resolution 09-016 will require a traffic
update study to support the projected change in trips and the timing of the construction of
the bridge over Interstate 95. A letter update is acceptable from Kimlev Horn.
The petitioned property has, since first constructed in the early 1990s, been used as the
main clubhouse and business office complex associated with the 54 holes of golf .found
within the Reserve (PGA Village) DRI, and managed by the PGA of America, Inc.
With the expanding use of these facilities, the existing clubhouse and support services
have been determined to be inadequate to meet present and future facility demands
and expansion/replacement is warranted to meet this new demand. In addition,
while the original development plans for this site did not contemplate the
development of any on -site lodging facilities in this clubhouse complex, recent changes
to the PGA's overall business model in response to user requests has resulted in a
proposal to add approximately 100 on -site lodging units that would be constructed in
a traditional hotel format.
As the petitioned property is located within the boundary of an approved
Development of Regional Impact, land uses on this property are limited by the gross
development entitlements granted under the Final Development Order for The
Reserve, DRI. Pursuant to the provisions of Condition Number 51 of St. Lucie
County Resolution 09-016 (the latest Development Order for the Reserve), the
petitioner has the option of making changes to the previously approved entitlements
to the subject property by converting all or some of those entitlements to another use,
so long as the gross impacts of whatever it is to be developed on the property do not
exceed the base thresholds identified in the impacts assessments used to evaluate this
DRI.
In the case of this specific land use petition, and based upon the prior approvals
granted to this site, the PGA golf clubhouse complex is authorized for approximately
90,000 square feet ofoverall non-residential commercial/office use (approx 10,000 sq
ft in clubhouse and approximately 80,000 square feet in future retail) granted under
the approved Final Development Order for the Reserve. Given that the exiting
clubhouse will be expanded by approximately 15,000 square feet (mol),
approximately 65,000 square feet of undeveloped commercial square footage (based
upon the approved PNRD master plans for the clubhouse complex) remains that can
be used for either commercial or converted use purposes.
Condition Number 51, of SLC Resolution 09-016, provides a table that outlines a use
conversion matrix that is applicable to the overall Reserve (PGA Village) DRI. The
petitioners propose to change approximately 15,000 square feet, of the remaining
65,000 square feet of commercial land use in this area to the equivalent trip generator
for hotel units, which in this instance, totals out to be slightly more than 100 guest
rooms. The proposed change in use from shopping center to hotel/resort lodge is an
equivalent trip trade-off that increases the allowable number of hotel rooms by 100
and decreases the allowable commercial development by 14,903 square feet.
At present, the Reserve DRI has been documented as generating 2,364 PM peak hour
trips using the formulas contained within the Institute of Transportation Engineers'
report, Trip Generation. No significant construction has occurred over the past 12
months within the Reserve DRI. Since the only "new" trips to be generated by this
proposed land use petition will be associated with the addition of approximately 100
new hotel units on the site, the "net" new pm peak hour trip generation from the
Reserve may reasonably be expected to be increased by 40 trips, for a total PM peak
hour trip generation of 2,404 (based on the 2009 counts).
The development of the hotel/resort lodge is not anticipated to create any additional
trips from the DRI that were not previously anticipated.
The Developer will satisfy Condition 61 (Selvitz Road & Midway Road intersection
improvements) upon reaching 3,867 PM peak hour trips. The Developer is required
to construct the bridge over Interstate 95 upon generating 3,153 PM peak hour trips.
Construction of this hotel lodge will not trigger either development order condition.
Sc.) Submit a justification statement why 8. i parking spaces per golf hoe is unreasonable and
how wiIl PGA mitigate this requirement during large tournaments. If Administrative relief is
contemplated, submit a justification statement pursuant to Section 7.06.01(B) and (F) to
support your request.
A parking study (i.e. justification statement) is attached to satisfy the parking
requirements of St. Lucie County.
\yv'e appreciate the opportunity to provide you with the above responses and the attached application
for Small Area Future Land Use Map Amendment and look forward to working with you toward
approval of the requested change in Future Land Use from RS to COM.
Should you require further explanation or documentation on the above responses, please do not

A general statement describing whether and how the proposed amendment conforms to the
St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
The St. Lucie Comprehensive Plan, adopted by Ordinance 90-01 in January of 1990 pursuant to the Local
Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1985, and as subsequently amended, lays out the framework
for how the County will grow through a 20-year planning period expiring in 2025. This plan includes a
number of Goals, Objectives and Policies that are designed to ensure the highest qualin, living environment
possible by providing a mixture of land uses throughout the County-; ensuring a high quality of life; creating a
&-namic jobs market and reflecting the needs and desires of the local residents and how they want their
community to develop.
This requested amendment to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan is to provide for a change in Future
Land Use designation for a 9.9 acre (mol) parcel of land located in the Reserve (PGA Village) Development
of Regional Impact — PGA Clubhouse Area, from the RS (Residential Suburban) to COM (Commercial)
Future Land Use designation.
The proposed designation of this property to the COM Future Land Use designation is for the purpose of
providing the opportunity to construct a new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and administrative
support area and a new golf lodging facility that will serve the existing PGA golf facilities located at the
Reserve. Final footprints for the new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and the new lodging
facility have not yet been completed; however, the approximate square footage of the new/replacement
clubhouse complex is 30-35,000 sq. ft. In addition, it is the objective of the petitioner to construct
approximately 100 hotel units in a new go f Iodging faa i� that will be located on this site.
Vliile land uses in this area are predominately residential (refer to Exhibits B and C), the redesignadon of this
property to a Commercial (COM) Future Land Use Classification, when considered along with the
accompanying petition for Major Adjustment to the site's current PNRD (Planned Non -Residential
Development) zoning approvals in order to permit the new PGA Golf clubhouse complex and golf lodging
facility, would not be considered inconsistent with other land uses found in the area. Application of the
PNRD zoning district to this property allows for a narrow definition of the potential future uses on the
property, where any deviation from these identified uses would require that an affirmative vote for such a
change from the County- Commission be obtained.
2. A statement describing how the proposed future land use designation is compatible with the
future land use designation(s) and existing land uses surrounding the amendment lands?
This requested amendment to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan is to provide for a change in Future
Land Use designation for a 9.9 acre (mol) parcel of land located in the Reserve (PGA Village) Development
of regional impact — PGA Clubhouse Area, from RS (Residential Suburban) to COM (Commercial). The
proposed designation of this property- to the COM Future Land Use designation is for the purpose of
providing the opportunity to construct a new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and administrative
support area and a new golf lodging facility that will serve the existing PGA golf facilities located at the
Reserve. Final footprints for the new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and the new lodging
facility have not }yet been completed; however, the approximate square footage of the new/replacement
clubhouse complex is 30-35,000 sq. ft. In addition, it is the objective of the petitioner to construct
approximately 100 hotel units in a new goljloclging latzlill' that will be located on this site.
The present use of the property under petition is as a golf clubhouse complex in support of the PGA of
Americas existing golf facilities at the PGA Reserve Golf communitN.
WhAe land uses in this area are predominately residential (refer to Exhibits B and C), the redesignation of this
property to a Commercial (COM) Future Land Use Classification, when considered along with the
accompanying petition for Major Adjustment to the sites current PNRD (Planned Non -Residential
Development) zoning approvals in order to permit the new PGA Golf clubhouse complex and golf lodging
facility, would not be considered inconsistent with other land uses found in the area. Application of the
PNRD zoning district to this property allows for a narrow definition of the potential future uses on the
property, where any deviation from these identified uses would require that an affirmative vote for such a
change from the County Commission be obtained.
3. In accordance with Future Land Use Policy 1.1.5.3 provide the following information:
a. Identification [of] future land use designations and existing land uses within V4 mile of the
subject property that have the same or greater type of proposed future land use designation.
Refer to the attached Existing Future Land Use Exhibit (Exhibit B) and Existing Use of Land Exhibit
(Exhibit C) for the area around the petitioned propertN.. The existing Future Land Use designations
surrounding this site are; RS (Residential Suburban), COM (Commercial) and the City of Port St. Lucie.
b. Is the property under the land use amendment application within the Five Year Capital
Improvement Program of the Water and Wastewater Master Plan for St. Lucie County or
otherwise meet the requirements of Policy 1.1.5.4.
Utilihy services (water and sewer) are presenth' available to the site and are provided by the Reserve Utility
Corporation. Attached as Exhibit K are updated service commitment requests that have been submitted to
the Reserve Utiht\• Corporation. As responses are received, this application will be updated to reflect their
response.
4. Provide a statement describing any conditions affecting the area of the amendment lands
that have changed since the most recent adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. Describe any
changes in development patterns, utility- availability, and public service capacity. Provide the
data and analysis supporting your conclusions.
The St. Lucie Comprehensive Plan, adopted bi• Ordinance 90-01 in January of 1990 pursuant to the Local
Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1985, and as subsequently amended, lays out the framework
for how the County will grow through a 20-year planning period expiring m 2025. This plan includes a
number of Goals, Objectives and Policies that are designed to ensure the highest quality living environment
possible by providing a mixture of land uses throughout the Counts; ensuring a high quality of life; creating a
dynamic jobs market and reflecting the needs and desires of the local residents and how they want their
community to develop.
The petitioned pr()pertr has maintained its current Future Land ( 'se designation of RS (Residential Suburban)
d ce the adoption of the current Count Comprchensiti c Plan in 1990. This propern- is part of the
prc•vicntsl� approved 1>ev�e1(rpment of Regional Impact known as The Reserve referred to as 1'(I,A
Village;;.
The petitioned property- has, suxc first constructed in the early 1990s, been used as the main clubhouse and
business office complex associated with the 54 holes of golf found within the Reserve (PG.A Village) DR1,
and managcd by the PG \ of :America, Inc. With the expanding use of these facilities, the existing clubhouse
and support z cn ices have been determined to be vhadequate to meet present and future facilin7 demands and
expansionjreplaccment is warranted to meet this new demand. In addition, while the original development
plans. for this site did not contemplate the development of any on -site lodging facilities in this clubhouse
complex, recent changes to the P(;Ys overall business model in response to user requests has resulted in a
proposal to add approximately 100 on -site lodging units that would be constructed in a traditional h►>tel
format. It is this addition of these hotel units to this complex that requires the submission of this proposed
amendment to the Ccxtnn's Comprehensi-ve Plan to a land use care 'gone that is considered compatible with
hotel developments. Previous)-, and currently, the residential land use designation found on the petition site
has been determined to be sufficient to address the basic golf clubhouse/,administrative support needs of the
PGA facihn..
\s the petitioned property- is located within the boundary of an approved Development of Regional Impact,
land uses on this property are limited by the gross development entitlements granted under the l,inal
Development Order for 'hhe Reserve, DRI. Pursuant to the provisions of Condition Number 51 of St.
Lucie County Resolution 09-016 (the latest Development Order for the Rcservej, the petitioner has the
option of making changes to the previoush- approved entitlements to the subject propert by converting all or
some of those entitlements to another use, so long as the: gross impacts of whatever it is to be developed on
the property do not exceed the base thresholds identified uh the impacts assessments used to evaluate this
DRI .
In the case of this specific land use petition, and based upon the prior approvals granted to this site, the PG:A
golf clubhouse complex is authorized for approximately 90,000 square feet of overall non-residential
commercial/office use (approx 10,000 sq ft in clubhouse and approtunately 80,000 square feet in future
retail) granted under the approved Final Development Order for the Reserve Given that the exiting
clubhouse will be expanded by approximately 15,000 square feet fmol), we are left with approximately 65,000
square feet of undeveloped commercial square footage �J)ased upon the approved PNRD master plans for the
clubhouse complex) that can be used for either commercial or a converted use purposes.
Condition Number 51, of SLC Resolution 09-016, provides a table that outlines a use conversion table that is
applicable to the overall Resen-e (I)G,A Village] DRI. The petitioners propose to change approximatel.

Amendment and how the amendment will result in an orderly and logical development
pattern.
This requested amendment to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan is to provide for a change in Future
Land Use designation for a 9.9 acre (mol) parcel of land located in the Reserve (PGA Village) Development
of regional impact — PGA Clubhouse Area, from RS (Residential Suburban) to COM (Commercial)_ The
proposed designation of this properyy to the COM Future Land Use designation is for the purpose of
providing the opportunity to construct a new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and administrative
support area and a new golf lodging facility that will serve the existing PGA golf facilities located at the
Reserve. Final footprints for the new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and the new lodging
facility have not yet been completed; however, the approximate square footage of the new -/replacement
clubhouse complex is 30-35,000 sq. ft. In addition, it is the objective of the petitioner to construct
approximately 100 hotel units in a new,goll'/o4ging /i lit), that will be located on this site.
The present use of the property under petition is as a golf clubhouse complex in support of the PGA of
Americas existing golf facilities at the PGA Reserve Golf community.
The proposed modifications to the general purpose golf clubhouse complex can be accommodated under the
sites current land use classification, however the addition of the golf lodging facilities does requires that the
areas under that activity be designated as/ with the COM (Commercial) Future Land Use designation.
While land uses in this area are predominately residential (refer to Exhibits B and C), the redesignation of this
property to a Commercial (COM) Future Land Use Classification, when considered along .with the
accompanying petition for Major Adjustment to the site's current PNRD (Planned Non -Residential
Development) zoning approvals in order to permit the new PGA Golf clubhouse complex and golf lodging
facility, would not be considered inconsistent with other land uses found in the area. Application of the
PNRD zoning district to this property allows for a narrow definition of the potential future uses on the
property, where any deviation from these identified uses would require that an affirmative vote for such a
change from the County Commission be obtained.
6. If a change to Industrial Land Use is proposed, explain how the proposal meets Future Land
Use Policy 1.1.11.2 or Police 1.1.11.3 of the Comprehensive Plan.
N/A.
The proposed amendment does not include am• requested change to the Industrial (IND) Future Land Use
Designation.
7. Provide a traffic report of the potential impacts to the County's transportation system
brought about by the proposed land use change. The report must include existing,
background, committed trips, and the projected traffic volumes and the level of service for all
affected roadways. Projected traffic volumes must be based on the highest density/intensity
allowed under the requested future land use designation.
As discussed at the pre -application conference for this submission (held April 29, 2010), a full Traffic Impact
Report has not been prepared for this petition for amendment to the Future Land Use Maps of the Count) -
since the subject property is already- part of the previously approved Development of Regional Impact known
as the The Reserve.
\.� the petitioned propert; is located %\ithin the boundan of an appimed Development of Re,=iornal lmpact,
land uses on this propertt are limited by the gross deg cloptnent entitlements grswicd under the final
Development Order for The ResCrN C DRI. Pursuant to the pro\isions of Condition Number 51 of St.
Lucic Countl Resohrtiori 09-01 G "the latest Development Order for the Rescr ci, the petitioner has the
(_)ption of making chsutges to the previously approved entitlements to the subject propert b� converting all or
some of th<,se entitlements to another use, so long as the gross impacts of whatever it is to be developed on
the property do not exceed the base thresholds identified in the impacts tsscssmcrnts used to cvaltzte this
DRI.
In the ctse of this Specific land use petition, and based upon the prior approvals granted to this site, the. PG:A
golf clubhouse complex is authorized for approximately 90,0Uo square feet of overall non-residential
commercial/office use (approx 10,000 sq ft in clubhouse and approximately 80,000 square feet in future
retail) granted under the approved Final Development Order for the Reserve.. GIven that the exiting
clubhouse will be expanded b'- apprommately 15,000 square feet (mol), we are left with approximately- 05,000
square feet of undeveloped commercial square footage (based upon the approved PNRD master plans for the
clubhouse complex) that can be used for either commercial or converted use purposes.
Condition Number 51, of SLC Resolution 09-01 G, provides a table that outlines a use conversion table: that is
applicable To the overall Reserve (PGA Village) DRI. The petitioners propose to change approximatelt
15,000 square feet, of the rem.tirring 65,000 square feet of commercial land use in this area to the equivalent
trip generator for hotel tints, which in this instance, totals out to be slightly more than 100 guest rooms.
Since the conversion of this commercial square footage to hotel unitss is based on equivalent trip generation
rates, no changes are required to am part of base Development C)rder for this DRI since the gross impacts
generated from this site have not changed. ;Attached as Exhibit E is a cope of correspondence from the
Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council where, Council staff has determined that application of the
provisions of Condition Number 51 will not be cause for additional review, by the RPC or the filing of any
type of Notice of Proposed Change (NOPC) to the previously approved Development of Regional Impact
kno\%n as The Reserve.
Even• t-wo years, until the completion of the DRI known as the reserve, an annual report is required to be
filed with the Counti, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and the hlorida Department of
Community Affairs. 'fhe most recent report submitted in the -,winter of 2009/10, indicates that there are no
service capacit,• issue,; within the Reserve. All required Level of Service (LOS) standards arc being meet and
the irntroduction of this new clubhouse facility along with the addition of the proposed lodge units, is not
expected to result in an° failed LOS standards.
Describe the drainage characteristics of the area and what effects the proposed land use
amendment would have on the volume and quality of stormwater runoff? Identiffi- the
property's flood zone classification?
This requested amendment to the St. Lucie Count Comprehensive Plan is to provide for a change in Future
Land Use designation for a 9.9 acre (mol) parcel of land located in the Reserve (PGA Village) Development
of Regional Impact — PGA Clubhouse .Area, from the RS (Residential Suburban) to COM (Commercial)
Future Land Use designation.
The proposed designation of this property to the COM Future Land Use designation is for the purpose of
providing the opportunity to construct a ne,,v/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and administrative
support area and a new golf lodging facility that will serve the existing PGA golf facilities located at the
Reserve. Final footprints for the new/ PGA Golf clubhouse complex and the new lodging
facilit- have not yet been completed; however, the approximate square footage of the new/
clubhouse complex is 30-35,000 sq. ft. In addition, it is the objective of the petitioner to construct
approximately 100 hotel uiuts in a new golf for ginrg Jacilii)� that will be located on this site.
The petitioned site is already regulated by South Florida Water Management District Permit Number 56-
00674; should the redevelopment of this site require modification to that pernut, or any other issued County
Permits effecting the sites stormwater management facilities, all necessary permits will be obtained.
The petitioned site does not he within any designated 298 Drainage District.
At the time a Final Development Order is applied for, all applicable storm water management regulations will
be complied with in the final designs for the property.
The petitioned property is located within a number of designated Flood Zones according to FEMA FIRM
Map 12111 CO275-F, dated August 19, 1991.
9. What are the potential enxironmental impacts of the requested amendment? Describe the
natural resources occurring on and adjacent to the amendment lands. Identify any protected
species that are known to occur and estimate the acres of wetlands and native upland
habitats on the amendment lands. Identify Category 1, I1, or III Wetlands as described in
Policy 8.1.14.1.
No impacts to an), of the listed species mentioned above are expected as a result of this proposed
amendment to the Future Land Use Maps of St. Lucie County. The petitioned site is already developed and
there are no known natural resources or habitat occurring on site. There is a small regulated wetland to the
east of the site (wetlands 61) and will be protected in accordance with applicable permit standards and
requirements.
There are no Category I, 11, or III \Yetlands as described in Police 8.1.14.1, on the petitioned site.
10. Where are the neatest public or investor -owned water and sewer services? Who is the
service provider? Is the site included in the five-year expansion plan of these utilities.
Provide correspondence from the service provider verifying their ability to serve the proposed
development.
If private facilities are proposed, describe the capacity and type of water and wastewater
services to be provided.
Utilit-v services (water and sewer) are presently available to the site and are provided by the Reserve Utility
Corporation. Attached as Exhibit K are updated service commitment requests that have been submitted to
the Reserve Utility Corporation. As responses are received, this application ,vil] be updated to reflect their
response.

Shared Parking Analysis

Dear Corey:
MacKenzie Engineering and Planning, Inc. (KHA) was retained to prepare a shared parking
analysis and the necessary documentation to support the required parking at the PGA Golf Club
and Lodge as required within Sections 7.06.01 and 7.06.02 of the St. Lucie County Code. The
property to be developed is located in The Reserve DRI, west of the Reserve Boulevard & 1-95
interchange in St. Lucie County, Florida. The mixed use project has a 54-hole golf course,
including ancillary facilities (driving ranges, club houses, pro shop, restaurants, lounges, and
banquet facilities) and proposes up to a 100-room lodge. Based on the description of the lodge
and its relation to the PGA golf courses, the lodge will function as a resort hotel.
This letter includes an analysis of the St. Lucie County parking rates and applies parking
reduction factors unique to this facility and location. St. Lucie County parking requirements are
shown in Table 1.
SHARED PARKING ANALYSIS
Mode Split
Mode split is adjustment for reduced use of automobiles owing to alternative modes of
transportation. The site is located at the center of a unique mixed use development, PGA
Village (also known as The Reserve DRI). PGA Village is a unique mix of uses centered around
the PGA golf club that interact to reduce the overall parking demand including: 54 holes of golf,
hotels (adjacent to the 1-95 interchange), single family and multi -family housing, timeshares, and
the PGA learning center. It is anticipated that the golf course will continue to capture a
significant amount of its business from within PGA village. The supporting traffic study for the

Re: Reserve DRI — Transportation Conditions
The Reserve DRI currently has transportation conditions enumerated from 51 to 61 with the
Reserve DRI Development Order (D.O.). St. Lucie County is inquiring about the conditions
related to transportation improvements, transportation trips, and hotel use within the DRI.
Condition 55 — Trip Summary
This condition requires biennial reporting of trips from the DRI. The evaluation of trips from the
project is used to determine the timing of needed improvements. Based on the most recent
annual report, the project is now generating 2,364 total PM peak hour trips.
Condition 57 — St. Lucie West Boulevard Interchange Improvements
This condition requires significant improvements to the interchange when project generates
3,153 total PM peak hour (two-way) trips or December 31, 2005, whichever occurs later. The
project does not yet generate 3,153 total PM peak hour trips. Therefore, improvements to the
interchange and bridge are not required. Given the slow state of the current real estate market,
the timing for these improvements by the developer is not known.
Condition 61— Improvements to Selvitz Road
This condition requires improvements to the Selvitz Road & Midway Road intersection when
project generates 3,867 total PM peak hour (two-way) trips or December 31, 2010, whichever
occurs later. The project does not yet generate 3,867 total PM peak hour trips. Therefore,
improvements to the intersection are not required. Given the slow state of the current real
estate market, the timing for these improvements by developer is not known.
Condition 51— Land Use Trade -Off Matrix
The DRI D.O. allows for conversion of uses within the DRI. Any of the approved uses in the DRI
may be converted to other allowed uses via the trade-off matrix contained within Condition 51.
The conversion of 100 lodging units (hotel rooms) will require conversion of 14,903 SF of retail
use. The change of use proposed will not create any additional trips from the DRI, will not
require a Notice of Proposed Change, and will require reporting through the normal annual /
biennial reporting process for the DRI (Conditions 51 and 56).

Public Hearing Notice - PGA Village
As owners of a condo (9866 Perfect Drive, Unit 36), we are opposed to the construction of a new lodging facility. This unit
was purchased for the expectation of rentals which have decreased annually. Also, when we purchased the
condominium, there were only to be a certain number of units. With the development of the Castle Pines condos, the
number of rentals condos has increased. In addition, there already is a motel (Mainstay Suites) at the entrance to the
PGA Village with other new motels on the other side of Interstate. We feel there is no need for additional lodging at this
time especially in this current economic condition.
While we feel that the current PGA clubhouse is adequate, we are not as opposed to its expansion.
Therefore, we would only favor changing the zoning of 15,000 square feet into commercial future land use.

Background
Location:
The portion of the PGA Village under review is 9.9 acres located approximately 1,300 feet from
Reserve Boulevard at 1920 Perfect Drive. The existing use of the property is a golf clubhouse
complex for the PGA of Americas existing golf facilities at the PGA Village Golf Community.
Current Future Land Use:
The Future Land Use designation of the subject property is RS (Residential Suburban — 2 du/acre),
which "...is intended to act as a transitional area between the agricultural areas and the more intense
residential areas in the eastern portion of the County. The RS designation is intended for large lot,
single-family detached residential dwellings, at a density of one to two units per gross acre."
Proposed Future Land Use:
The proposed Future Land Use designation is COM (Commercial), which "...is intended to
accommodate all commercial zoning districts as identified under St. Lucie County's Land
Development Code. The COM land use designation is applicable to areas of future commercial
development, in addition to those existing developed commercial areas. Office and general retail uses
are considered the principal uses."
Current Zoning:
The current zoning of the subject property is PNRD (Planned Non -Residential Neighborhood). The
purpose of this district "...is to achieve non-residential land development of superior quality through
the encouragement of flexibility and creativity in design options that:
A. Permit creative approaches to the development of non-residential land reflecting changes in
the technology of land development;
B. Allow for the efficient use of land, which can result in smaller networks of utilities and streets
and thereby lower development costs;
C. Allow design options that encourage an environment of stable character, compatible with
surrounding land uses; and
D. Permit the enhancement of neighborhoods through the preservation of natural features, the
provision of underground utilities, and the provision of recreation areas and open space.
Petition: PGA Village FLUMA
September 16, 2010

Staff Analysis
Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan:
Staff's analysis indicates that the proposed COM Future Land Use designation in this area is
consistent with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning
Council has confirmed that the proposed change in Future Land Use does not generate a Notice of
Proposed Change (NOPC) to the adopted Reserve (now referred to as PGA Village) Development of
Regional Impact (DRI). The change in Future Land Use designation from RS to COM does not result
in an increase in anticipated impacts.
The requested change meets Policy 1.1.5.3 requiring the subject property to be within a quarter mile
of the same or greater type of land use classification. Directly across the street from the subject
property on Reserve Boulevard is property designated COM. The proposed change further complies
with Policy 1.1.5.4 requiring all new development projects to occur where water and waste water
sewer services can be provided. Existing potable water and wastewater lines service the property
(see the Potable Water, Wastewater and Water Treatment section below).
Compliance with State Statutes and the State Comprehensive Plan:
The subject property is a portion of the Reserve DRI (PGA Village) approved by both the County and
the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) in 1989. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
has confirmed that the proposed change in Future Land Use does not result in an increase in gross
impacts, therefore a Notice of Proposed Change (NOPC) to the Reserve DRI is not warranted.
Because the proposed change does not require an NOPC and the subject property is no more than
10 acres in size, DCA will not review this FLUMA for compliance with the State Comprehensive Plan.
Compatibility with Existing Neighborhood:
The requested COM (Commercial) Future Land Use designation is to allow expansion of the existing
golf club and new lodging facilities. These facilities are consistent with the existing PGA golf facilities
and adjacent residential communities. The facility is described as the "ultimate golfing destination" and
managed by the Professional Golfing Association of America, Inc. The current PNRD zoning will
require a major adjustment to the approved site plan. Staff review of the revised site plan will ensure
compatibility with the existing neighborhood, and public notice is required as a part of the approval
process. Therefore, the proposed COM Future Land Use and its underlying PNRD zoning is
compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
Environmental Resources:
St. Lucie County Environmental Resource Department has reviewed the petition and submitted a
report on the environmental impacts of the proposed FLUMA as follows:
The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) is in receipt of the July 16, 2010 Planning and
Development Services' date -stamped submittal. The applicant requests approval of a Plan
Amendment to change the future land use designation of 9.9 acres from RS (Residential Suburban) to
COM (Commercial). Environmental Resources staff has completed a site visit and initial review. The
project site is located at 1920 Perfect Drive within the Reserve (PGA Village) Development of
Regional Impact (DRI). The site consists of an existing clubhouse, associated landscaping, parking,
and other golf support areas which were approved as a Planned Non -Residential Development
(PNRD). There is no native habitat remaining within the subject property. No improvements are
proposed as part of this Plan Amendment application.
No improvements are proposed and no native habitat exists within the subject area; therefore, no
adverse affects to the environment are anticipated.
Landscaping and open space requirements will be reviewed at time of site plan submittal if any future
changes to the existing PNRD are requested. Existing landscaping includes some Florida Exotic Pest
Petition: PGA Village FLUMA
September 16, 2010
Page 4 of 7
Plant Council (FLEPCC) listed invasive exotics, specifically Ruellia brittoniana. Staff recommends
removal of all FLEPCC listed species and replacement with native species. ERD supports approval of
the plan amendment.
Natural Hazards:
The subject property is located in a FEMA flood zone "X," which is an area of low flood risk and
generally considered to be out of the 500-year flood plain.
St. Lucie County Fire District:
The subject property is serviced by fire station number 14. The Fire District has reviewed the
proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment, has no objection to the project and has confirmed
payment of the required review fees.
School Impacts:
The proposed amendment is a non- residential use, and no school impacts are anticipated.
Transportation Impacts:
The subject property is located within the Reserve DRI (PGA Village). Land uses are limited by the
gross development entitlements granted under the Final Development Order for The Reserve DRI. St.
Lucie County Resolution No. 09-016 (the latest Development Order for the Reserve) contains
provisions for the gross development entitlements in condition No. 51. This condition specifically
allows the petitioner to make changes to previously approved entitlements by converting all or some
of those entitlements to another use, so long as the gross traffic impacts do not exceed the base
thresholds used to evaluate the DRI. Provided the applicant adheres to the provisions of condition No.
51, a traffic report is not warranted for the proposed amendment.
Parks and Recreation:
The proposed amendment is not for residential use, therefore there are no impacts associated with
parks and recreation. The nature of the existing use provides recreational facilities for the nearby
residents that satisfy some proportion of the total recreation demand of the community.
Solid Waste:
Currently all solid waste generated in St. Lucie County is disposed at the St. Lucie County Bailing and
Recycling Facility, located in the southwest corner of the City of Ft. Pierce. This landfill is identified in
the recent Evaluation and Appraisal Report of the Comprehensive Plan as having sufficient capacity
for at least the next 20 years. This proposed change will not materially impact the level of service
standard for the County's solid waste facility found in Policy 6B.1.1.1 at 9.31 pounds per capita, per
day.
Potable Water and Wastewater Treatment:
Utility services are presently available to the site and are provided by the Reserve Utility Corporation.
The Reserve Utility Corporation has confirmed that there is sufficient water supply and wastewater
capacity to service this site.
Development Requirements:
Approval of the proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment constitutes a preliminary development
order and does not grant approval for any specific development scenario. However, upon approval the
applicant may proceed to seek permission for further development of the property for commercial
purposes. Prior to the issuance of any final development order, the future developer must
demonstrate that all public facilities are available to service the parcel and obtain a Certificate of
Capacity.
Petition: PGA Village FLUMA
September 16, 2010
Page 5 of 7
The applicant's intent is to construct a replacement PGA golf clubhouse complex and new golf lodging
and resort facility to accommodate 100 guest rooms. A major adjustment to the existing PNRD site
plan will be required and include approval by the Board of County Commissioners.
Analysis Summary:
As the petitioned property is located within the boundary of an approved Development of Regional
Impact, land uses on this property are limited by the gross development entitlements granted under
the Final Development Order for The Reserve DRI (PGA Village). The proposed FLUMA is consistent
with the provisions of Condition No. 51 of Resolution 09-016 provided the gross impacts of the
proposed development do not exceed the base thresholds identified in the impacts assessments used
to evaluate this DRI.
The PGA golf clubhouse complex is authorized under the approved Final Development Order for the
Reserve for approximately 90,000 square feet of overall non-residential commercial/office use (approx
10,000 sq ft in clubhouse and approximately 80,000 square feet in future retail). The proposed
clubhouse will be expanded by approximately 15,000 square feet. This leaves approximately 65,000
square feet of undeveloped commercial square footage (based upon the approved PNRD master
plans for the clubhouse complex) that can be used for either commercial or converted use purposes.
Condition No. 51, of Resolution 09-016, provides a use conversion table (see below) that is applicable
to the overall Reserve (PGA Village) DRI. The petitioners propose to change approximately 15,000
square feet, of the remaining 65,000 square feet of commercial land use in this area to the equivalent
trip generator for hotel units, which in this instance, totals out to 100.65 guest rooms. Since the
conversion of this commercial square footage to hotel units is based on equivalent trip generation
rates, no changes are required to any part of base Development Order for this DRI since the gross
impacts generated from this site have not changed.
Every two years until the completion of the DRI, an annual report is required to be filed with the
County, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and the Florida Department of Community
Affairs. The most recent report submitted in the winter of 2009/10, indicates that there are no service
capacity deficiencies within the Reserve. All required Level of Service (LOS) standards are being met
and the introduction of this new clubhouse facility along with the addition of the proposed hotel units is
not expected to result in any failed LOS standards.

Background
The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) is in receipt of the July 16, 2010 Planning and
Development Services' date -stamped submittal. The applicant requests approval of a Plan
Amendment to change the future land use designation of 9.9 acres from RS (Residential
Suburban) to COM (Commercial). Environmental Resources staff has completed a site visit and

Residential Development (PNRD). There is no native habitat remaining within the subject
property. No improvements are proposed as part of this Plan Amendment application.
Findings
No improvements are proposed and no native habitat exists within the subject area; therefore, no
adverse affects to the environment are anticipated.
Landscaping and open space requirements will be reviewed at time of site plan submittal if any
future changes to the existing PNRD are requested. Existing landscaping includes some Florida
Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPCC) listed invasive exotics, specifically Ruellia brittoniana. Staff

Port Saint Lucie FL 34986 772.340.1444
citya ee ---- 7,—p— Phone
have applied for a small Area Future Land Use Amendment from St. Lucie County, Florida,
Type of Deve4rftnt order
for the following project: 9.9 ac. (moi) parcel located at the PGA Clubhouse within the Reserve DRI
acre of ProposedDevelopment
Parcel ID Number(s): A part of Parcel to Number 3327-200-M1-000-4
I do hereby affirm that in connection with my application for the above project, I have
elected to defer the certificate of capacity and reservation of capacity in public facilities
for the above property until a later time, but no later than the application for a final
development order for the same property.
I understand and acknowledge that the above listed property will be subject to the
certificate of capacity before any final development order can be issued, and that St.
Lucie County can make no guarantee that adequate public facilities will be available
when I apply for the final development order.
I further acknowledge that according to Section 5.08.01 of the St. Lucie County LDC, no
final development approval can be granted until capacity in those facilities is available at
that time. The issuance of a preliminary development order without a certificate of
capacity creates no vested or other rights to develop the subject property.

Subject: PGA Reserve Land Use Change
Mr. Britton De Witt
Senior Planner
Planning and Development Services Department
2300 Virginia Avenue
Ft. Pierce, FL 34982
Dear Mr. De Witt:
We are residents of PGA Village and wish to add our written comments to the public record regarding the
petition of PGA Reserve to change the Future Land Use of a 9.9 acre site from residential suburban to
commercial. In a nutshell we request that the Planning and Zoning Commission deny this petition, specifically
with regard to the construction of a sizable "golf lodging facility", which to all intents and purposes appears to
be a hotel. We have no objection to an upgrading of the existing clubhouse within the currently existing
authorization, but we do have a serious objection to what appears to be nothing less than a major change in the
business operations that take place in our community.
Our concerns are the following:
--The subject property is part of a planned community. Given the staggering number of hotel rooms constructed
during the last five years within a mile of the subject property, it seems the worst imaginable planning to
approve yet another such business in the immediate proximity. Such a project offers the prospect of no
additional new jobs; whatever employment opportunities would gained by the PGA will be lost at other hotels.
The same may be said for tax revenues, of course. No net gains will be achieved until all of the hotels and
similar lodgings in the area of I-95 exit 121 are operating near capacity.
--Those individuals who own properties within PGA Village that are used to generate rental income and who
purchased those homes in the reasonable expectation that no hotels would be built within the boundaries of the
planned communities to the west of I-95 would be faced with the prospect of seeing the value of their properties
being negatively impacted. This is a planned community; unless there is a pressing matter of policy or
circumstance that creates a fundamental change in the public interest (as opposed to private interest) we see no
reason why the future usage of this land ought to be changed. By the way, we do not hold an interest in any
such property, nor do we intend to do so. However, we do believe that those who do should be permitted to
retain their equity without unreasonable interference from after the fact redefinitions of land use that unilaterally
benefit large land holders.
--To those who would argue that somehow the construction of a hotel on this site would enhance local
residential property values, please address the following question: "If a 100 unit hotel would enhance local
property values by a certain amount, would a 200 unit hotel increase those values by twice that amount? What
about 300 units? Would that triple the increase in property values?" The commission (and its staff) has the
responsibility to understand the impacts of a decision to change the future land use of this property beyond the
simple first -order expectation of additional real estate taxes associated with a new hotel. Will those enhanced
tax revenues be offset by reduced property values of nearby residential rental units yielding no net gain (or
worse) in county revenues?
--Nowhere have we seen reference to matters relating to the traffic handling capabilities of the local streets
leading into the PGA Village area. The proposed hotel would substantially increase volume on these streets.
What is the potential impact and who is responsible for their mitigation?
--Without seeing an actual design, it is impossible to assess the impact of the proposed structures on drainage in
this area. As you are no doubt aware, PGA Village has had three serious floods since 2004 and homes have
been damaged as a result. What additional retention structures and drainage canals will be necessary to mitigate
completely the impact of additional impervious surfaces resulting from the new building, parking lots, and
roadway modifications?
--Finally, what does it mean to create a planned community, whether a PUD or a PNRD? We believe that
reasonable people will agree that these communities are not immutable; some flexibility is necessary to attain
goals of developing public policy. The subject petition calls for a change in land use from residential to
commercial. Such a change might be approved if it would result in commercial activity that would be of direct
benefit to the residents of the community in which that enterprise was located. What benefit is contemplated to
those of us who live in this planned community? There are hundreds of hotel rooms available within minutes of
the village entrance for friends and family who cannot be accommodated in our homes. The benefit here
appears to accrue solely to the owners of the new facility and to the PGA, which appears to be changing the
nature of its operations in St. Lucie, from something that was oriented to the recreational needs of local
residents to something else, which is increasingly oriented to private members and resort guests. Where is the
benefit to us?
We believe that lodging capacity in this area is completely sufficient to operate a golf club in PGA's current
location. This petition addresses an hotel, but eventually the commission should anticipate requests for
restaurants, a night club, retail shops, and the like, all within the confines of what was planned as a residential
community? PGA Reserve has no right to change the use of this land, and its request should be denied.
With thanks for allowing us to provide our comments for the record,
Sally Wiesenfeld

Subject: September 16 meeting - PGA Village
We have received the Public Hearing Notice in which PGA Reserve Inc. is petitioning a change in the land use from
residential to commercial. We have no objection to the project of replacement of the present clubhouse facility. However,
we are concerned about the addition of a 100 unit hotel adjoining this facility. We feel this would greatly comprise the
security of our neighborhood since the project would be in close proximity to Bally Bunion Road. The question remains
how would PGA insure the present level of security which we now have.
We cannot be present at the meeting because of previous commitments. We wish to have our comments included in the
record concerning this project.

Dear Commissioners, We would strongly recommend to amend the code from residential to commercial for
PGA. We have lived in PGA for 14 years, and we have no complaints about their presence. We are delighted
that they would like to invest in our county with the new expansion. With the declining economy, it can only

Subject: P.G.A. zone change
I will not be able to attend the meeting on Thursday, Sept.16, and therefore request that you and the
commission deny the PGA a zone change from residential to commercial.
Requesting a zone change for projects to be built ten years from now presents a potential problem
whereby PGA may use the property for unrelated golf associated business. I ask that you share this
request with the other commission members. Thank you .

The PGA Golf Club is applying for a zoning variance from residential to commercial to allow them to build, at
some future date, a high -end 100 room guest lodge. As a resident of the PGA Village, Sabal Creek
neighborhood, I support the PGA in this regard. I do so because the PGA has proven to be a responsible and
good neighbor and they have the opportunity to attract visitors, events and revenue to St. Lucie West which will
benefit our investment in this area. I hope the County Commission will grant the variance requested by the PGA
Golf Club. Thank you.

Subject: Application for Re -Zoning by PGA Golf Club
Dear Commissioners,
I am writing in support of the application by the PGA of America to rezone 9.9 acres within the PGA Golf Club Property at
PGA Village in St. Lucie County. I understand the first step is to see approval for a Land Use Change in order to support
the construction of a new Clubhouse Facility. Also in their planning is to seek the necessary changes in zoning to allow for
future construction of a lodge or hotel on the property.
I believe the proposed changes will result in a new property use that will enhance the ability of the PGA of America to
ensure the financial viability of the Golf Course as a business enterprise. And that would be good not only for our
community but the County and the city of Port St. Lucie as well.
I am president of the Sabal Creek Property Owners Association. I have sent a -mails to as many of the 153 owners of
property in my community. Although we have not had a formal property owners meeting that would allow me to make an
official comment on behalf of the entire community, I can report that all of the communications I have received from
property owners in Sabal Creek support the proposed changes.
Our only concern is to ensure that a proposed Golf Cart Path allowing golfers who live in Verano, the community south of
PGA Village is constructed and monitored in a way not to diminish the security and safety of the residents of our
Community. I have worked with the management at the PGA Golf Club on many projects in the past. I have found they
listen to our concerns and I expect that the proposed Golf Cart Access will be handled in a way that will satisfy our
concerns.
Thank you.

Re: PGA Reserve — Small Area Future Land Use Map Amendment for future Clubhouse
Expansion (Our Reference Number: B09-13LP)
Dear Ms. Tetsworth,
We are in receipt of your letter dated May 3, 2010, wherein you provided an overview of and
responses to questions raised in our meeting held on April 29, 2010 as it related to the above
referenced project. Many subjects were discussed in the aforementioned meeting, however, I would
like to address the points you raised in your above referenced letter as it relates to the Small Area
Future Land Use Map Amendment to allow for expansion of the existing clubhouse facility to
accommodate lodging (hotel) facilities; specifically, the requested justification statements to St. Lucie
County Comprehensive Plan ("Comp. Plan") Policies 1.1.8.1 through 1.1.8.11 and question # 8 (8b
and 8c).
Outlined below, beginning with Comp. Plan Objective 1.1.8, are justification statements in bold
italics below.
***************
Objective 1.1.8: Property owners investments, their quality of life and the single family
neighborhood, as a defined residential area, shall be protected from the encroachment of commercial
and/or other inappropriate land uses through consistent predictable application of the Land
Development Regulations.
This requested amendment to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan is to provide
for a change in Future Land Use designation for a 9.9 acre (mol) parcel of land
located in the Reserve (PGA Village) Development of Regional Impact - PGA
Clubhouse Area, from the RS (Residential Suburban) to COM (Commercial) Future
Land Use designation.
The proposed designation of this property to the COM Future Land Use designation
is for the purpose of providing the opportunity to construct a new/replacement PGA
Golf clubhouse complex and administrative support area and a new golf lodging
facility that will serve the existing PGA golf facilities located at the Reserve. Final
footprints for the new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and the new
lodging facility have not yet been completed, however, the approximate square
footage of the new/replacement clubhouse complex is 30-35,000 sq. ft. In addition, it
is the objective of the petitioner to construct approximately 100 hotel units in a new
golf lodging facility that will be located on this site.
While land uses in this area are predominately residential (refer to Exhibits B and C),
the redesignation of this property to a Commercial (COM) Future Land Use
Classification, when considered along with the accompanying petition for Major
Adjustment to the sites current PNRD (Planned Non -Residential Development)
zoning approvals in order to permit the new PGA Golf clubhouse complex and golf
lodging facility, would not be considered inconsistent with other land uses found in
the area. Application of the PNRD zoning district to this property allows for a
narrow definition of the potential future uses on the property, where any deviation
from these identified uses would require that an afrmative vote for such a change
from the County Commission be obtained.
Policy 1.1.8.1: All new subdivisions, planned unit developments and site development
plans shall be designed to include an efficient system of internal traffic circulation that does not
require internal trips or trips of short duration to be forced onto the major roadway network.
The requirements of this Policy are noted and acknowledged. As this policy appears
to be more of a specific site design regulating policy, at the time a formal site plan is
submitted to the County for review, compliance with this policy will be
demonstrated.
It should be noted that the petitioned parcel is part of larger, previously approved,
Development of Regional Impact. As part of the assessment of that DRI, traffic
impacts, both on -site and off -site impacts were evaluated, and a series of special
limiting conditions related to traffic needs were included in the project's Final
Development Order. Any development on this petitioned property is subject to
demonstrating compliance with these conditions as part of the site permitting process
that follows this land use amendment review.
Policy 1.1.8.2: All new subdivisions shall be designed so that all individual lots have direct
access to the internal street system, and that any lot or property along the periphery of the
development is to be buffered from any major roadway and incompatible land uses.
The proposed use shall occur within a previously approved Development of Regional
Impact, with adequate road system and buffering. No subdivision of land is proposed
at this time.
Policy 1.1.8.3: Continue to implement the county -wide right-of-way protection regulation
and Right -of -Way Dedication Ordinance.
The petitioned property is not located adjacent to or affected by, any identified
corridor or roadway included in the county -wide right-of-way protection plan.
At the time final development permit approvals are sought, the property owners will
comply with all applicable requirements and standards of the County's Right -of -Way
Dedication regulations.
Policy 1.1.8.4: Limited development of commercial/non-residential uses will be allowed
within areas classified for residential uses, provided that these activities are compatible with the
adjacent land uses and meet the following standards:
a) Intent of the commercial use is to provide easily accessible, convenience -type uses
to immediately surrounding residents;
N/A. The submitted petition is for a change in Future Land Use to the
COM (Commercial) future land use designation. This policy addresses the
standards for considering the application of a commercial zoning designation
in a non-commercial land use category, such as residential.
b) Property for which the commercial designation is sought is located on an Arterial or
Major Collector;
N/A. The submitted petition is for a change in Future Land Use to the
COM (Commercial) future land use designation. This policy addresses the
standards for considering the application of a commercial zoning designation
in a non-commercial land use category, such as residential.
c) Conversion of the petitioned property would not promote any strip commercial use
of land;
N/A. The submitted petition is for a change in Future Land Use to the
COM (Commercial) future land use designation. This policy addresses the
standards for considering the application of a commercial zoning designation
in a non-commercial land use category, such as residential.
d) Use is compatible with surrounding land uses and is provided with adequate
screening and buffering of any adjacent residential property;
Given the context of the proposed use it is compatible with surrounding land
uses and adequate buffering/screening will be utilized so as to buffer adjacent
residential uses from the proposed use.
N/A. The submitted petition is for a change in Future Land Use to the
COM (Commercial) future land use designation. This policy addresses the
standards for considering the application of a commercial zoning designation
in a non-commercial land use category, such as residential.
e) The site does not have its primary driveway access onto any local or Minor
Collector street; and,
The site has access provided by Reserve Boulevard and Perfect Drive and
exceeds any traffic capacity of a local and/or minor collector.
N/A. The submitted petition is for a change in Future Land Use to the
COM (Commercial) future land use designation. This policy addresses the
standards for considering the application of a commercial zoning designation
in a non-commercial land use category, such as residential.
f) The property for which the commercial designation is sought does not exceed 10
acres.
The property for which the commercial designation is sought does not exceed
10 acres.
N/A. The submitted petition is for a change in Future Land Use to the
COM (Commercial) future land use designation. This policy addresses the
standards for considering the application of a commercial zoning designation
in a non-commercial land use category, such as residential.
Policy 1.1.8.5: In addition to any other general standard for change in zoning as may be
described in the County's Land Development Regulations, the following specific standards shall be
used in determining the suitability of the new property(s) for designation as Commercial General
(CG) under the County's Land Development Regulations:
a) New Commercial General (CG) property should have available to it at the time of
any zoning change central water services, or have an executed service agreement for
the provision of central water services necessary for both domestic and fire
protection purposes.
Utility services (water and waste water) are presently available to the site
and are provided by the Reserve Utility Corporation. Attached as Exhibit K
to the Map Change and Text Amendments Application Supplement are
updated service commitment requests that have been submitted to the Reserve
Utility Corporation. As responses are received the information will be
updated accordingly.
b) New Commercial General (CG) property should not be located within 300 feet of
any Aquatic Preserve or other specially designated aquatic habitat or a Category 1
Wetland as defined in Policy 8.1.14.1 of the Conservation Element of this Plan.
The lands under this petition are not located with 300 feet of any Aquatic
Preserve or other designated aquatic habitat or a Category 1 Wetland as
defined in Policy 8.1.1.14.1.
c) New Commercial General (CG) areas should have immediate access to the regional
transit network; and,
Policy 1.1.8.5(c), of the future land use element of the County's
Comprehensive Plan reads as follows:
c) New Commercial General (CG) areas should have immediate access to
the regional transportation network; and, [emphasis added]
It should be noted that the petitioned parcel is part of larger, previously
approved, Development of Regional impact (DRI). As part of the assessment
of that DRI, traffic impacts, both on -site and off -site impacts were evaluated,
and a series of special limiting conditions related to traffic needs were
included in the project's Final Development Order. Any development on
this petitioned property is subject to demonstrating compliance with these
conditions as part of the site permitting process that follows this Future Land
Use Amendment review.
d) The property for which the commercial designation is sought does not exceed 10
acres.
Policy 1.1.8.5(d), of the Future Land Use Element of the County's
Comprehensive Plan reads as follows:
d) New Commercial General (CG) property should have a minimum lot
size of one (1) acre, unless the property is being added to another
existing commercially (general) zoned property.
The land for which the commercial designation is sought is 9.9 acres.
Policy 1.1.8.6: Require effective visual and light diffusion barriers between residential and
non-residential uses. Standards and requirements for such barriers are to be included in the
landscaping and screening regulations of the St. Lucie County Land Development Regulations.
The requirements of this Policy are noted and acknowledged. As this policy appears
to be more of a specific site design regulating policy, at the time a formal site plan is
submitted to the County for review, compliance with this policy will be
demonstrated.
Adequate screening of proposed structures in the petitioned area can be accomplished
through the use of landscape buffer plantings. Light diffusion shall be accomplished
via light shielding and/or the use of landscape buffer plantings so as to prevent light
pollution from negatively affecting residences.
Policy 1.1.8.7: 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 petitioned property is located internal to the previously approved Development
of Regional Impact (DRI) known as the Reserve. The proposed development of this
site for non-residential use will not contravene the above Comprehensive Plan policy.
Policy 1.1.8.8: Restrict strip commercial development to these 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.
N/A. The petitioned property is not a strip commercial development.
Policy 1.1.8.9: Concentrate tourist and regional service related commercial activities to
those areas adjoining the interstate highway system or that have sufficient regional automobile access.
The petitioned property is located internal to the previously approved Development
of Regional Impact (DRI) known as the Reserve. The petitioned site is within a two
(2) mile radius of the I-95/St. Lucie West (Reserve Blvd) Interchange, which provides
for regional access to this site without having to travel extensively over the local area
roadway network.
Policy 1.1.8.10: Interchange development activities should not include commercial activities
that are designed to service a small geographic market area. Local service activities should be located
at points away from an interchange so as to avoid conflicts between regional and local traffic which
can contribute to accelerated degradation of level of service in these areas.
The petitioned property is not located within a designated "Interchange development" area.
The proposed lodging facility is not considered a local service activity, as the golf facilities
attract regional guests as well as residents from within the PGA Reserve development. In
addition, the proposed lodging facility is considered and ancillary use to the golf facilities.
Policy 1.1.8.11: Encourage the use of existing commercial and industrial designated lands
within the urban service area, through requiring a strict demonstration of service availability, before
authorizing Land Use and Zoning amendments in areas not presently indicated as having such
designation.
The petitioned property is located internal to the previously approved Development
of Regional Impact (DRI) known as the Reserve. As part of the overall DRI review
process, a complete assessment of the impacts of this development on local community
services was conducted. The proposed change in Future Land Use, while considered
to be a Preliminary Development Order under the St. Lucie County Comprehensive
Plan, is not expected to provide for any greater land use entitlement than is already
recognized under the site's overriding Final Development Order of for the Reserve
DRI.
In response to question #8 (8b and 8c) in the aforementioned letter, we offer the following
responses in bold italics:
8b.) Compliance with Condition of Approval #61 in Resolution 09-016 will require a traffic
update study to support the projected change in trips and the timing of the construction of
the bridge over Interstate 95. A letter update is acceptable from Kimley Horn.
The petitioned property has, since first constructed in the early 1990s, been used as the
main clubhouse and business office complex associated with the 54 holes of golf found
within the Reserve (PGA Village) DRI, and managed by the PGA of America, Inc.
With the expanding use of these facilities, the existing clubhouse and support services
have been determined to be inadequate to meet present and future facility demands
and expansion/replacement is warranted to meet this new demand. In addition,
while the original development plans for this site did not contemplate the
development of any on -site lodging facilities in this clubhouse complex, recent changes
to the PGA's overall business model in response to user requests has resulted in a
proposal to add approximately 100 on -site lodging units that would be constructed in
a traditional hotel format.
As the petitioned property is located within the boundary of an approved
Development of Regional Impact, land uses on this property are limited by the gross
development entitlements granted under the Final Development Order for The
Reserve, DRI. Pursuant to the provisions of Condition Number 51 of St. Lucie
County Resolution 09-016 (the latest Development Order for the Reserve), the
petitioner has the option of making changes to the previously approved entitlements
to the subject property by converting all or some of those entitlements to another use,
so long as the gross impacts of whatever it is to be developed on the property do not
exceed the base thresholds identified in the impacts assessments used to evaluate this
DRI.
In the case of this specific land use petition, and based upon the prior approvals
granted to this site, the PGA golf clubhouse complex is authorized for approximately
90,000 square feet of overall non-residential commercial/office use (approx 10,000 sq
ft in clubhouse and approximately 80,000 square feet in future retail) granted under
the approved Final Development Order for the Reserve. Given that the exiting
clubhouse will be expanded by approximately 15,000 square feet (mol),
approximately 65,000 square feet of undeveloped commercial square footage (based
upon the approved PNRD master plans for the clubhouse complex) remains that can
be used for either commercial or converted use purposes.
Condition Number 51, of SLC Resolution 09-016, provides a table that outlines a use
conversion matrix that is applicable to the overall Reserve (PGA Village) DRL The
petitioners propose to change approximately 15,000 square feet, of the remaining
65,000 square feet of commercial land use in this area to the equivalent trip generator
for hotel units, which in this instance, totals out to be slightly more than 100 guest
rooms. The proposed change in use from shopping center to hotel/resort lodge is an
equivalent trip trade-off that increases the allowable number of hotel rooms by 100
and decreases the allowable commercial development by 14,903 square feet.
At present, the Reserve DRI has been documented as generating 2,364 PM peak hour
trips using the formulas contained within the Institute of Transportation Engineers'
report, Trip Generation. No significant construction has occurred over the past 12
months within the Reserve DRI. Since the only "new" trips to be generated by this
proposed land use petition will be associated with the addition of approximately 100
new hotel units on the site, the "net" new pm peak hour trip generation from the
Reserve may reasonably be expected to be increased by 40 trips, for a total PM peak
A
hour trip generation of 2,404 (based on the 2009 counts).
The development of the hotel/resort lodge is not anticipated to create any additional
trips from the DRI that were not previously anticipated.
The Developer will satisfy Condition 61 (Selvitz Road & Midway Road intersection
improvements) upon reaching 3,867 PM peak hour trips. The Developer is required
to construct the bridge over Interstate 95 upon generating 3,153 PM peak hour trips.
Construction of this hotel lodge will not trigger either development order condition.
8c.) Submit a justification statement why 8.7 parking spaces per golf hoe is unreasonable and
how will PGA mitigate this requirement during large tournaments. If Administrative relief is
contemplated, submit a justification statement pursuant to Section 7.06.01(B) and (F) to
support your request.
A parking study (i.e. justification statement) is attached to satisfy the parking
requirements of St. Lucie County.

1. A general statement describing whether and how the proposed amendment conforms to the
St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
The St. Lucie Comprehensive Plan, adopted by Ordinance 90-01 in January of 1990 pursuant to the Local
Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1985, and as subsequently amended, lays out the framework
for how the County will grow through a 20-year planning period expiring in 2025. This plan includes a
number of Goals, Objectives and Policies that are designed to ensure the highest quality living environment
possible by providing a mixture of land uses throughout the County; ensuring a high quality of life; creating a
dynamic jobs market and reflecting the needs and desires of the local residents and how they want their
community to develop.
This requested amendment to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan is to provide for a change in Future
Land Use designation for a 9.9 acre (mol) parcel of land located in the Reserve (PGA Village) Development
of Regional Impact — PGA Clubhouse Area, from the RS (Residential Suburban) to COM (Commercial)
Future Land Use designation.
The proposed designation of this property to the COM Future Land Use designation is for the purpose of
providing the opportunity to construct a new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and administrative
support area and a new golf lodging facility that will serve the existing PGA golf facilities located at the
Reserve. Final footprints for the new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and the new lodging
facility have not yet been completed; however, the approximate square footage of the new/replacement
clubhouse complex is 30-35,000 sq. ft. In addition, it is the objective of the petitioner to construct
approximately 100 hotel units in a new golf lodging facility that will be located on this site.
While land uses in this area are predominately residential (refer to Exhibits B and C), the redesignation of this
property to a Commercial (COM) Future Land Use Classification, when considered along with the
accompanying petition for Major Adjustment to the site's current PNRD (Planned Non -Residential
Development) zoning approvals in order to permit the new PGA Golf clubhouse complex and golf lodging
facility, would not be considered inconsistent with other land uses found in the area. Application of the
PNRD zoning district to this property allows for a narrow definition of the potential future uses on the
property, where any deviation from these identified uses would require that an affirmative vote for such a
change from the County Commission be obtained.
2. A statement describing how the proposed future land use designation is compatible with the
future land use designation(s) and existing land uses surrounding the amendment lands?
This requested amendment to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan is to provide for a change in Future
Land Use designation for a 9.9 acre (mol) parcel of land located in the Reserve (PGA Village) Development
of regional impact — PGA Clubhouse Area, from RS (Residential Suburban) to COM (Commercial). The
proposed designation of this property to the COM Future Land Use designation is for the purpose of
providing the opportunity to construct a new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and administrative
support area and a new golf lodging facility that will serve the existing PGA golf facilities located at the
Reserve. Final footprints for the new/ PGA Golf clubhouse complex and the new lodging
facility have not yet been completed; however, the approximate square footage of the new/replacement
clubhouse complex is 30-35,000 sq. ft. In addition, it is the objective of the petitioner to construct
approximately 100 hotel units in a new golf lodging facility that will be located on this site.
The present use of the property under petition is as a golf clubhouse complex in support of the PGA of
Americas existing golf facilities at the PGA Reserve Golf community.
While land uses in this area are predominately residential (refer to Exhibits B and C), the redesignation of this
property to a Commercial (COM) Future Land Use Classification, when considered along with the
accompanying petition for Major Adjustment to the sites current PNRD (Planned Non -Residential
Development) zoning approvals in order to permit the new PGA Golf clubhouse complex and golf lodging
facility, would not be considered inconsistent with other land uses found in the area. Application of the
PNRD zoning district to this property allows for a narrow definition of the potential future uses on the
property, where any deviation from these identified uses would require that an affirmative vote for such a
change from the County Commission be obtained.
3. In accordance with Future Land Use Policy 1.1.5.3 provide the following information:
a. Identification (ol] future land use designations and existing land uses within 'A mile of the
subject property that have the same or greater type of proposed future land use designation.
Refer to the attached Existing Future Land Use Exhibit (Exhibit B) and Existing Use of Land Exhibit
(Exhibit C) for the area around the petitioned property. The existing Future Land Use designations
surrounding this site are; RS (Residential Suburban), COM (Commercial) and the City of Port St. Lucie.
b. Is the property under the land use amendment application within the Five Year Capital
Improvement Program of the Water and Wastewater Master Plan for St. Lucie County or
otherwise meet the requirements of Policy 1.1.5.4.
Utility services (water and sewer) are presently available to the site and are provided by the Reserve Utility
Corporation. Attached as Exhibit K are updated service commitment requests that have been submitted to
the Reserve Utility Corporation. As responses are received, this application will be updated to reflect their
response.
4. Provide a statement describing any conditions affecting the area of the amendment lands
that have changed since the most recent adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. Describe any
changes in development patterns, utility availability, and public service capacity. Provide the
data and analysis supporting your conclusions.
The St. Lucie Comprehensive Plan, adopted by Ordinance 90-01 in January of 1990 pursuant to the Local
Government Comprehensive Planning Act of 1985, and as subsequently amended, lays out the framework
for how the County 'Till grow through a 20-year planning period expiring in 2025. This plan includes a
number of Goals, Objectives and Policies that are designed to ensure the highest quality living environment
possible by providing a mixture of land uses throughout the County; ensuring a high quality of life; creating a
dynamic jobs market and reflecting the needs and desires of the local residents and how they want their
community to develop.
The petitioned propern, has maintained its current Future Land Gse designation of RS (Residential Suburban;
since the adoption of the current County Comprehensive Plan in 1990. This property is part of the
previously approved Development of Regional Impact known as The Reserve (no,,v referred to as PGA
Village).
The petitioned property has, since first constructed in the early 1990s, been used as the main clubhouse and
business office complex associated with the 54 holes of golf found'ithin the Reserve (PGA Village) DRI,
and managed by the PGA of America, Inc. With the expanding use of these facilities, the existing clubhouse
and support services have been determined to be inadequate to meet present and future facility demands and
expansion/replacement is'-arranted to meet this new demand. In addition, while the original development
plans for this site did not contemplate the development of any on -site lodging facilities in this clubhouse
complex, recent changes to the PGA's overall business model in response to user requests has resulted in a
proposal to add approximately IUO on -site lodging units that would be constructed in a tradition d hotel
format. It is this addition of these hotel units to this complex that requires the submission of this proposed
amendment to the Count's Comprehensive Plan to a land use categon that is considered compatible'-ith
hotel developments. Previously, and currently, the residential land use designation found on the petition site
has been determined to be sufficient to address the basic golf clubhouse; administrative support needs of the
PGA facility.
As the petitioned property is located within the boundary of an approved Development of Regional Impact,
land uses on this propertri- are limited by the gross development entitlements granted under the Final
Development Order for The Reserve, DRI. Pursuant to the provisions of Condition Number 51 of St.
Lucie Count- Resolution 09-016 (the latest Development Order for the Reserve), the petitioner has the
option of making changes to the previously approved entitlements to the subject property by converting all or
some of those entitlements to another use, so long as the gross impacts of'-hatever it is to be developed on
the property do not exceed the base thresholds identified in the impacts assessments used to evaluate this
DRI.
In the case of this specific land use petition, and based upon the prior approvals granted to this site, the PGA
golf clubhouse complex is authorized for approximately 90,000 square feet of overall non-residential
commercial; office use (approx 10,000 sq ft in clubhouse and approximately 80,000 square feet in future
retail) granted under the approved Final Development Order for the Reserve. Given that the exiting
clubhouse will be expanded bl approximately 15 000 square feet (mol), we are left'-ith approximately 65,00H
square feet of undeveloped commercial square footage (based upon the approved PNRD master plans for the
clubhouse complex) that can be used for either commercial or a converted use purposes.
Condition Number 51, of SLC Resolution 09-016, provides a table that outlines a use conversion table that is
applicable to the overall Rcser-e (PGA Village) DRI. The petitioners propose to change approximately
15,000 square feet, of the remaining 65,000 square feet of commercial land use in this area to the equivalent
trip generator for hotel units, which in this instance, totals out to be slightlymore than 100 guest rooms.
Since the conversion of this commercial square footage to hotel units is based on equivalent trip generation
rates, no changes are required to am part of base Development Order for this DRI since the gross impacts
generated from this site have not changed. Attached as Exhibit E is a copy- of correspondence from the
Treasure Coast Regional Planning; Council where, Council staff has determined that application of the
provisions of Condition Number 51 will not be cause for additional review by the RPC or the filing of any
type of Notice of Proposed Change (NOPQ to the previously approved Development of Re" O nal Impact
known as The Reserve.
Ever nvo rears, until the completion of the DRI known as the reserve, an annual report is required to be
filed with the CountV, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and the Florida Department of
Community Affairs. The most recent report submitted in the winter of 2009j 10, indicates that there are no
service capacity issues -Within the Reserve. All required Level of Service (LOS; standards are being meet and
the introduction of this new clubhouse facilitt- along with the addition of the proposed lodge units, is not
expected to result in am failed LOS standards.
Utility services (water and sewer) are presently available to the site and are provided by the Reserve Utility
Corporation. Attached as Exhibit K are updated service commitment requests that have been submitted to
the Reserve Utility Corporation. As responses are received, this application will be updated to reflect their
response.
5. Provide a statement describing why there is a need for the proposed Future Land Use Map
Amendment and how the amendment will result in an orderly and logical development
pattern.
This requested amendment to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan is to provide for a change in Future
Land Use designation for a 9.9 acre (mol) parcel of land located in the Reserve (PGA Village) Development
of regional impact — PGA Clubhouse Area, from RS (Residential Suburban) to COM (Commercial). The
proposed designation of this property to the COM Future Land Use designation is for the purpose of
providing the opportunity to construct a new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and administrative
support area and a new golf lodging facility that will serve the existing PGA golf facilities located at the
Reserve. Final footprints for the new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and the new lodging
facility have not yet been completed; however, the approximate square footage of the new/replacement
clubhouse complex is 30-35,000 sq. ft. In addition, it is the objective of the petitioner to construct
approximately 100 hotel units in a new golf lodging facility that will be located on this site.
The present use of the property under petition is as a golf clubhouse complex in support of the PGA of
Americas existing golf facilities at the PGA Reserve Golf community.
The proposed modifications to the general purpose golf clubhouse complex can be accommodated under the
sites current land use classification, however the addition of the golf lodging facilities does requires that the
areas under that activity be designated as/ with the COM (Commercial) Future Land Use designation.
While land uses in this area are predominately residential (refer to Exhibits B and C), the redesignation of this
property to a Commercial (COM) Future Land Use Classification, when considered along with the
accompanying petition for Major Adjustment to the site's current PNRD (Planned Non -Residential
Development) zoning approvals in order to permit the new PGA Golf clubhouse complex and golf lodging
facility, would not be considered inconsistent with other land uses found in the area. Application of the
PNRD zoning district to this property allows for a narrow definition of the potential future uses on the
property, where any deviation from these identified uses would require that an affirmative vote for such a
change from the County Commission be obtained.
6. If a change to Industrial Land Use is proposed, explain how the proposal meets Future Land
Use Policy 1.1.11.2 or Policy 1.1.11.3 of the Comprehensive Plan.
N/A.
The proposed amendment does not include any requested change to the Industrial (IND) Future Land Use
Designation.
7. Provide a traffic report of the potential impacts to the County's transportation system
brought about by the proposed land use change. The report must include existing,
background, committed trips, and the projected traffic volumes and the level of service for all
affected roadways. Projected traffic volumes must be based on the highest density/intensity
allowed under the requested future land use designation.
As discussed at the pre -application conference for this submission (held April 29, 2010), a full Traffic Impact
Report has not been prepared for this petition for amendment to the Future Land Use Maps of the County
since the subject property is already part of the previously approved Development of Regional Impact known
as the The Reserve.
As the petitioned proper is located within the boundart• of an approved Development of Regional Impact,
land uses on this property are limited be the gross development entitlements granted under the Final
I)cvelopment Order for The Reserve. I)RI. Pursuant to the provisions of Condition Number 51 of St.
Lucie County- Resolution 09-016 (the latest Development Order for the Rescrve), the petitioner has the
option of making changes to the previoush, approved entitlements to the subject proper bv converting all or
some of those entitlements to another use, so long as the gross impacts of Whatever it is to be developed on
the property do not exceed the base thresholds identified in the impacts assessments used to evaluate this
DRI.
In the case of this specific land use petition, and based upon the prior approvals granted to this site, the PGA
golf clubhouse complex is authorized for approximately 90,000 square feet of overall nun -residential
commercial/office use (approx 10,000 sq ft in clubhouse and approximatel' 80,000 square feet in future
retail) granted under the approved Final Development Order for the Reserve. Given that the exiti11<(1
clubhouse will be expanded by approximately 15,000 square feet (mol), we are left with approximately 65,(00
square feet of undeveloped commercial square footage (based upon the approved PNRD master plans for the
clubhouse complex) that can be used for either commercial or converted use purposes.
Condition Number 51, of SLC Resolution 09-016, provides a table that outlines a use conversion table that is
applicable to the overall Reserve (PGA Village` DRI. The petitioners propose to change approximately
15,000 square feet, of the remaining 65,000 square feet of commercial land use in this area to the equivalent
trip generator for hotel units, which in this instance, totals out to be slightly more than "100 guest rooms.
Since the conversion of thus commercial square footage to hotel units is based on equivalent trip generation
rates, no changes are required to any part of base Development Order for this DRI since the gross impacts
generated from this site have not changed. Attached as Exhibit E is a cope of correspondence from the
Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council where, Council staff has determined that application of the
provisions of Condition Number 51 will not be cause for additional review by the RPC or the filing of any
tTpe of Notice of Proposed Change -NOPC) to the previously approved Development of Regional Impact
knots n as Tlie Reserve.
Every two rears, until the completion of the DRI known as the reserve, an annual report is required to be
filed with the Counts, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and the Florida Department of
Community AlTaurs. The most recent report submitted in the winter of 2009/10, indicates that there are no
service capacity issues within the Reserve. All required Level of Service (LOS) standards are being meet and
the introduction of this new clubhouse facilin alone with the addition of the proposed lodge units, is not
expected to result in any failed I,OS standards.
8. Describe the drainage characteristics of the area and what effects the proposed land use
amendment would have on the volume and quality of stormwater runoff? Identify the
property's flood zone classification?
This requested amendment to the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan is to provide for a change in Future
Land Use designation for a 9.9 acre (mol) parcel of land located in the Reserve (PGA Village) Development
of Regional Impact — PGA Clubhouse Area, from the RS (Residential Suburban) to COM (Commercial)
Future Land Use designation.
The proposed designation of this property to the COM Future Land Use designation is for the purpose of
providing the opportunity to construct a new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and administrative
support area and a new golf lodging facility that will serve the existing PGA golf facilities located at the
Reserve. Final footprints for the new/replacement PGA Golf clubhouse complex and the new lodging
facility have not yet been completed; however, the approximate square footage of the new/replacement
clubhouse complex is 30-35,000 sq. ft. In addition, it is the objective of the petitioner to construct
approximately 100 hotel units in a new golf lodging facility that will be located on this site.
The petitioned site is already regulated by South Florida Water Management District Permit Number 56-
00674; should the redevelopment of this site require modification to that permit, or any other issued County
Permits effecting the sites stormwater management facilities, all necessary permits will be obtained.
The petitioned site does not he within any designated 298 Drainage District.
At the time a Final Development Order is applied for, all applicable storm water management regulations will
be complied with in the final designs for the property.
The petitioned property is located within a number of designated Flood Zones according to FEMA FIRM
Map 12111CO275-F, dated August 19, 1991.
What are the potential environmental impacts of the requested amendment? Describe the
natural resources occurring on and adjacent to the amendment lands. Identify any protected
species that are known to occur and estimate the acres of wetlands and native upland
habitats on the amendment lands. Identify Category I, II, or III Wetlands as described in
Policy 8.1.14.1.
No impacts to any of the listed species mentioned above are expected as a result of this proposed
amendment to the Future Land Use Maps of St. Lucie County. The petitioned site is already developed and
there are no known natural resources or habitat occurring on site. There is a small regulated wetland to the
east of the site (wetlands 61) and will be protected in accordance with applicable permit standards and
requirements.
There are no Category I, II, or III Wetlands as described in Policy 8.1.14.1, on the petitioned site.
10. Where are the nearest public or investor -owned water and sewer services? Who is the
service provider? Is the site included in the five-year expansion plan of these utilities.
Provide correspondence from the service provider verifying their ability to serve the proposed
development.

Re: PGA Golf Club — St. Lucie County
Shared Parking Analysis
007001
Dear Corey:
MacKenzie Engineering and Planning, Inc. (KHA) was retained to prepare a shared parking
analysis and the necessary documentation to support the required parking at the PGA Golf Club
and Lodge as required within Sections 7.06.01 and 7.06.02 of the St. Lucie County Code. The
property to be developed is located in The Reserve DRI, west of the Reserve Boulevard & 1-95
interchange in St. Lucie County, Florida. The mixed use project has a 54-hole golf course,
including ancillary facilities (driving ranges, club houses, pro shop, restaurants, lounges, and
banquet facilities) and proposes up to a 100-room lodge. Based on the description of the lodge
and its relation to the PGA golf courses, the lodge will function as a resort hotel.
This letter includes an analysis of the St. Lucie County parking rates and applies parking
reduction factors unique to this facility and location. St. Lucie County parking requirements are
shown in Table 1.
SHARED PARKING ANALYSIS
Mode Split
Mode split is adjustment for reduced use of automobiles owing to alternative modes of
transportation. The site is located at the center of a unique mixed use development, PGA
Village (also known as The Reserve DRI). PGA Village is a unique mix of uses centered around
the PGA golf club that interact to reduce the overall parking demand including: 54 holes of golf,
hotels (adjacent to the 1-95 interchange), single family and multi -family housing, timeshares, and
the PGA learning center. It is anticipated that the golf course will continue to capture a
significant amount of its business from within PGA village. The supporting traffic study for the
,;r& cKenzie
t ngineei ing & Planning, hu-,
PGA Golf Club, Shared Parking Analysis, Page 2
PGA Village (Reserve DRI) estimates that 60% of the golf course traffic is associated with uses
within PGA Village. Many of the existing residents within PGA Village own their own golf carts
and use those to travel between their homes and the golf course. Additionally, the Verano DRI
(approved for 6,000 dwelling units), located south of PGA Village will connect a golf cart path
directly to the golf club to facilitate non -auto trips. PGA, which operates the golf course, has
plans to purchase and operate a shuttle bus. The shuttle bus is proposed facilitate trips
between the golf club and uses surrounding PGA Village to reduce auto -travel within PGA Village
and reduce parking needs at the golf club.
Based on the existing and proposed operations of the facility and the data provided, a 20%
mode split is estimated for the golf club. This mode split includes shuttles, drop-offs, golf cart
travel, and walking to the club house. The reduction anticipated is 94 spaces.
Noncaptive Adjustments
A noncaptive adjustment describes people already present in the immediate vicinity and likely
patrons of a second use. A 100 room lodge is proposed adjoining the PGA Village club house
facility. The lodge is being planned and developed as an amenity for visitors to PGA Village and
will act as a golf resort. Specifically, visitors will be able to park once and not leave the lodge
because of the onsite facilities and golf amenities. The lodge visitors are expected to be golf
patrons because it is a golf resort hotel; therefore the lodge is expected to result in a high
noncaptive adjustment factor. Visitors to the lodge will park at the lodge and golf, but only
require one parking space. Due to the high interaction anticipated between the lodge and golf
club, a 70 percent noncaptive adjustment was applied to the parking requirements of the resort
hotel. This reduces the need for parking by an additional 98 spaces.
Parking Demand
The unadjusted parking demand for the site, based on St. Lucie County Code requirements, is
610 spaces. The parking demand is estimated to be reduced by 94 spaces based on the mode
split and 98 spaces for the noncaptive adjustments. The projected parking demand is 418
spaces. Table 2 shows the projected parking demand for the project.
SPECIAL EVENT PARKING
PGA Village has already hosted numerous special events. Additional special events are
anticipated at PGA Village upon completion of the lodge. PGA has developed special event
parking plans. These plans include remote parking and shuttles to the primary facilities.
Additional coordination occurs with the local hotels for shuttles and use of other off -site parking
areas.
CONCLUSION
PGA Village golf club is a 54-hole golf course, including ancillary facilities (driving ranges, club
houses, pro shop, restaurants, lounges, and banquet facilities) and proposes a 100 unit lodge.
PGA Golf Club, Shared Parking Analysis, Page 3
r , acKetazie
I- lignm.viim, cS hi.rnwnu, Inc.
Because multiple forms of non -automotive transportation exist and are proposed to the site and
the complementary use of the golf lodge to the golf course, the overall parking demand for the
site is reduced from 610 parking spaces to 418 parking spaces.
PGA Village also has developed special event parking plans for events that have occurred and
will occur at this location.
It is anticipated that acceptance of this memorandum satisfies the parking demand
requirements contained within 7.06.01 and 7.0602 of the St. Lucie County Code.

Date: June 2, 2010
Re: Reserve DRI — Transportation Conditions
The Reserve DRI currently has transportation conditions enumerated from 51 to 61 with the
Reserve DRI Development Order (D.O.). St. Lucie County is inquiring about the conditions
related to transportation improvements, transportation trips, and hotel use within the DRI.
Condition 55 — Trip Summary
This condition requires biennial reporting of trips from the DRI. The evaluation of trips from the
project is used to determine the timing of needed improvements. Based on the most recent
annual report, the project is now generating 2,364 total PM peak hour trips.
Condition 57 — St. Lucie West Boulevard Interchange Improvements
This condition requires significant improvements to the interchange when project generates
3,153 total PM peak hour (two-way) trips or December 31, 2005, whichever occurs later. The
project does not yet generate 3,153 total PM peak hour trips. Therefore, improvements to the
interchange and bridge are not required. Given the slow state of the current real estate market,
the timing for these improvements by the developer is not known.
Condition 61— Improvements to Selvitz Road
This condition requires improvements to the Selvitz Road & Midway Road intersection when
project generates 3,867 total PM peak hour (two-way) trips or December 31, 2010, whichever
occurs later. The project does not yet generate 3,867 total PM peak hour trips. Therefore,
improvements to the intersection are not required. Given the slow state of the current real
estate market, the timing for these improvements by developer is not known.
Condition 51— Land Use Trade -Off Matrix
The DRI D.O. allows for conversion of uses within the DRI. Any of the approved uses in the DRI
may be converted to other allowed uses via the trade-off matrix contained within Condition 51.
The conversion of 100 lodging units (hotel rooms) will require conversion of 14,903 SF of retail
use. The change of use proposed will not create any additional trips from the DRI, will not
require a Notice of Proposed Change, and will require reporting through the normal annual /
biennial reporting process for the DRI (Conditions 51 and 56).

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Mark Satterlee, AICP, Planning & Development Services Director
Kara Wood, Planning Manager1
FROM: Britton De Witt, Senior Planne TU
Planning Division
DATE: October 19, 2010
SUBJECT: Right -of -Way Protection Map
ITEM NO.: VII-B
Background:
Proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan, based on recommendations from the Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR) adopted in October 2008, were presented to the Board of County Commissioners
on June 1, 2010. One of the proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan was to relocate the Right -of -
Way Protection Map (RWPM) into Section 7.05.03 of the Land Development Code (LDC), "Rights -of -Way
Determinations and Dedication, Improvements." The Department of Community Affairs does not require
this map to be in the Comprehensive Plan and updates to the data would be more efficient if located in
the LDC.
The Schedule of Capital Improvements located in the Capital Improvements Element of the
Comprehensive Plan is based on anticipated needs identified on the RWPM. The LDC requires the
"Thoroughfare Network Right -of -Way Protection Plan," of which the RWPM is a part, to be reviewed and
updated every two years. Before adopting the RWPM into the LDC, the map was reviewed by the
Development Review Committee, including the Planning and Development Services Director, the County
Engineer, the County Surveyor and the St. Lucie Transportation Planning Organization. The goal of the
review is to assess the transportation corridors and the necessity for retaining property acquired for the
transportation network. If a transportation corridor is determined to be no longer necessary, the
transportation corridor shall be removed from the Plan. If a new transportation corridor is determined to
be needed, the transportation corridor shall be added to the Plan.
Attached as Exhibit A is a draft updated Right -of -Way Protection Map with the proposed roadway
updates highlighted in yellow, and following is a table listing each update:

The right-of-way protection areas pertaining to the Towns Villages and Countryside (TVC) are included.
The TVC roadways have already been adopted into the Comprehensive Plan for right-of-way protection
and are just being incorporated into this graphic. The Jenkins Road Area Plan identifies right-of-way
dedication requirements found in Section 4.12.12, which is referenced on the proposed RWPM. Table 7-
15 in the draft ordinance is being updated to add eight lane arterials and their minimum right-of-way width
of 200 feet.
Previous Action:
On September 16, 2010, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed this proposed text amendment
to the LDC and unanimously recommended that it be approved.
Recommendation:
Board review of a text amendment to the Land Development Code to include the Right -of -Way Protection
Map in Section 7.05.03 (Ordinance No. 10-036) and authorization to schedule the second public hearing.

59 presentation by Britton DeWitt.
60 Ms. Young asked Mrs. Hammer whether there would be any financial gain to her or the PGA
61 Village Board of Directors. Mrs. Hammer stated that the PGA was not a member of the PGA
62 Village homeowners' association and any impact would affect all property owners in PGA
63 Village. Based upon Mrs. Hammers' comments, Ms. Young stated there did not appear to be
64 a conflict for Mrs. Hammer on the petition
65 Mrs. Hammer disclosed that she is not a member of PGA of America.

66 Mrs. DeWitt presented the petition.
Page 3 of 8
67 Greg Boggs, of Lucido and Associates, representing the applicant, stated this would be a
68 phased project and the land use amendment is the first phase. He stated that in the future they
69 would submit a development application that would include a club expansion and lodge to
70 make an all inclusive resort environment. Mr. Boggs stated the team is here to answer any
71 questions.
72 The Commission discussed what would be allowed under the current approval, and about the
73 impact on existing hotels in the area.
74 Chairman Mundt opened the public hearing.
75 George Henderson, a PGA Village resident, spoke in favor of the petition, citing the financial
76 benefits of the proposed lodge and PGA America's positive impact on the area so far.
77 Tom Can, a member of PGA and a PGA Village resident, stated he believes there is an over
78 abundance of places to stay in the area. He stated though he is a member and all for the PGA,
79 he is reluctant to support the hotel at this time.
80 Peter Perry, a PGA Village resident, spoke in favor of the petition. He stated PGA is a vital
81 business partner to the county, and he believes any development by them will be a positive
82 enhancement and contribute to long-term values.
83 Gene Antuna, a member of PGA, and a PGA Village resident, spoke in favor of the petition. He
84 stated he moved here because of PGA, and he believes supporting this is the best for them
85 and us.
86 David Gallup, a PGA Village resident, spoke in opposition to the petition, and stated he think it
87 would negatively affect the other hotels in the area.
88 Chairman Mundt closed the public hearing.
89 Mr. Mowery asked if the request was only for a small-scale amendment because he saw a
90 reference to an accompanying major adjustment to the PNRD petition.
91 Mrs. DeWitt stated in the pre -application letter there was talk of doing the adjustment at the
92 same time, but the applicant will not come forward until after approval of the land use
93 amendment.
94 Dennis Murphy, of Culpepper and Terpening, representing the applicant, stated they had
95 originally intended to submit both applications at the same time, but they decided to do the
96 plan amendment first, and then bring the major adjustment afterwards.

97 Mr. Culverhouse disclosed he was senior counsel and chairman of the bankruptcy practice
98 division of Sachs Sax Caplan, who represented Associations within PGA Village.
99 Mr. Lounds stated he finds it rewarding that PGA would like to bring a benefit to St. Lucie
100 County during this economic situation. He believes corporate America will bring their sales
101 force and customers to the resort and the other area hotels will get the overflow. Mr. Lounds
102 stated he thinks it will stimulate the county's economy.
103 Mrs. Hammer asked why the amendment area was 9.9 instead of 10 acres.
104 Mr. Murphy stated commercial land use amendments less than 10 acres may be approved at
105 the local level, rather than the state level, though the same standards of review need to be
106 met. Mr. Murphy stated lodging is not allowed in the RS-3 land use so they have to change to
107 Commercial.
108 Mrs. Hammer stated her concern that the land use change will open up the possibility of
109 commercial uses other than the lodge. Ms. Hammer also stated concerns regarding the height
110 of the proposed lodge, and a flooding issue in the area.
111 Mr. Murphy stated though other uses could be applied, they would have to provide a specific
112 list of activities that will take place on the property when they go through the PNRD approval
113 process and the ultimate control will rest on the Board of County Commissioners. He stated
114 they are not in a position to commit to any height at this time because it is a design issue that
115 will be addressed as part of the PNRD.
116 Bob Baldassari, General Manager and PGA Professional at PGA Village, stated PGA brings a
117 lot of credibility and prestige to St. Lucie County, and they are not going anywhere. Mr.
118 Baldassari stated PGA has an ownership stake at the Hilton Garden Inn and would not want to
119 take away from that business. He stated the lodging component is years away. Mr. Baldassari
120 stated they are looking at ways to solve the flooding issue.
121 Mrs. Hammer stated she is disappointed there is no commitment to a height restriction, and
122 there was nothing in writing that this would strictly be a hotel.
123 Ms. Caron stated her concern they are being asked to trust PGA and in prior experience has
124 been let down by applicants that changed their plans after preliminary approval.
125 Mr. Murphy stated PGA of America has represented consistently during its tenure in St. Lucie
126 County that they will do a first class job in whatever they do. He stated he could not state a
127 specific height number because they have not finished the designs.
128 The Commission continued to discuss what may be approved with the petition, and their level
129 of comfort with it.

130 Ms. Young stated the petition is a future land use amendment and it is not appropriate to
131 attach conditions to that approval or denial, if it is approved it will come back as an amendment
132 to the PNRD and at that time you will have more specific things to suggest.
133 Mr. Mundt stated the PNRD gives us the opportunity to shape a project to the benefit of
134 everyone. He stated he had not heard an objection from any hotels, or the Treasure Coast
135 Regional Planning Council. Mr. Mundt stated he has attended Tourist Development Council
136 meetings and PGA attends and is supportive of tourism in the area. Mr. Mundt stated staff
137 supports it, and it will go to the BOCC who have the community's interest at heart. He stated
138 he will support this.
139 Mrs. Hammer asked if the land use change is approved, and the applicant came back with a
140 PNRD application for an industrial use, would that be approved.
141 Ms. Young stated it would not be automatic, but it allows them to apply for those uses.
142 Mr. Mowery stated this is part of a DRI and there are certain intensities that are provided for
143 and if they are exceeded it would need to go through an NOPC process, which is difficult.
144 Mr. Lounds made the motion:
145 After considering the testimony presented during the public hearing, including
146 staff comments, I hereby move that the Planning And Zoning Commission of St.
147 Lucie County recommend that the St. Lucie County Board of County
148 Commissioners approve the petition of PGA Reserve Inc., for a small-scale
149 amendment to the Future Land Use Map from RS (Residential Suburban — 2
150 Du/Acre) to COM (Commercial) because I think it will enhance the economy,
151 enhance the surrounding property, and I think it brings a lot of ingenuity to the
152 area.
153 Mr. Culverhouse seconded. The motion carried 5-1 with Mrs. Hammer dissenting.

155 C. ROW Protection Map in LDC: Ordinance No. 10-036

160 The Commission discussed why some of the changes were made to the map, and why it
161 would be moved from the Comp Plan to the Land Development Code with the assistance of
162 Mr. Harris.
163 Mr. Culverhouse asked whether specific roads were acquired yet.
164 Mr. Harris stated some of the proposed rights of way are developer driven, so the map will give
165 the County the legal right to request the right of way from the developer for impact fee credits
166 and or cash.
167 Mr. Mowery asked whether staff was comfortable with the fact that every time a change is
168 made to this map once it is in the LDC it will have to come before the Commission.
169 Mrs. DeWitt stated the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are a more onerous process
170 than the amendments to the Code.
171 Mr. Harris stated in order to give us the legal right to exact the right of way from the developer;
172 it needs to have Board and Local Planning Agency review.
173 Ms. Young stated that is correct, by having it be formally adopted, it gives us protection, and it
174 makes it easier for developers to look at what is around their property.
175 Chairman Mundt opened the public hearing.
176 No one spoke.
177 Chairman Mundt closed the public hearing.
178 Mr. Lounds made the motion:
179 After considering the testimony presented during the public hearing, including
180 staff comments, I hereby move that the Planning and Zoning Commission of St.
181 Lucie County recommend that the St. Lucie County Board of County
182 Commissioners approve the text amendment to the Land Development Code to
183 include the updated Right -of -Way Protection Map because I think it provides us
184 with a consistent view of future land developments in St. Lucie County.

200 amending Chapter 10 to add Section 10.03 "Eminent Domain Wavier" to provide for a

205 for codification. Staff comments and presentation by the County Attorney's Office.
206 Ms. Smith presented the ordinance.
207 The Commission discussed how the property owners' rights would be affected under this
208 ordinance.
209 Mr. Culverhouse suggested adding limiting language to the ordinance stating it would not be
210 introduced into evidence in any trial on the issue of severance damages.
211 Mr. Mowery suggested since there is no time constraint, the item be continued to review the
212 cases Mr. Culverhouse cited.
213 The Commission further discussed how the property owners' rights would be affected under
214 the ordinance.
215 Mr. Mundt stated based on the comments we will send this back for further discussion, and he

TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
THROUGH: Mark Satterlee, AICP, Planning & Development Services Director
Kara Wood, Planning Manager
FROM: Britton De Witt, Senior Planne
Planning Division
DATE: September 16, 2010
SUBJECT: Adoption of Right -of -Way Protection Map into Land Development Code.
ITEM NO.: III-C
Background:
Proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan, based on recommendations from the Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR) adopted in October 2008, were presented to the Board of County Commissioners
on June 1, 2010. One of the proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan was to relocate the Right -of -
Way Protection Map (RWPM) into Section 7.05.03 of the Land Development Code (LDC), "Rights -of -Way
Determinations and Dedication, Improvements." The Department of Community Affairs does not require
this map to be present in the Comprehensive Plan and updates to the data would be more efficient if
located in the Land Development Code.
The Schedule of Capital Improvements located in the Capital Improvements Element of the
Comprehensive Plan is based on anticipated needs identified on the RWPM. The LDC requires the
"Thoroughfare Network Right -of -Way Protection Plan," of which the RWPM is a part, to be reviewed and
updated every two years. Before adopting the RWPM into the LDC, the map was reviewed by the
Development Review Committee, including the Planning and Development Services Director, the County
Engineer, the County Surveyor and the St. Lucie Transportation Planning Organization. The goal of the
review is to assess the transportation corridors and the necessity for retaining property acquired for the
transportation network. If a transportation corridor is determined to be no longer necessary, the
transportation corridor shall be removed from the Plan. If a new transportation corridor is determined to
be needed, the transportation corridor shall be added to the Plan.
Attached as Exhibit A is a draft updated Right -of -Way Protection Map with the proposed roadway
updates highlighted in yellow, and following is a table listing each update:

The right-of-way protection areas pertaining to the Towns Villages and Countryside (TVC) are included.
The TVC roadways have already been adopted into the Comprehensive Plan for right-of-way protection
and are just being incorporated into this graphic. The Jenkins Road Area Plan identifies right-of-way
dedication requirements found in Section 4.12.12, which is referenced on the proposed RWPM. Table 7-
15 in the draft ordinance is being updated to add eight lane arterials and their minimum right-of-way width
of 200 feet.
Previous Action:
None.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to
the Board of County Commissioners for the text amendment to the LDC to include the Right -of -Way
Protection Map in Section 7.05.03 (Ordinance No. 10-036).

7.05.03. Rights -of -Way Determinations and Dedications, Improvements.
A. St. Lucie County Thoroughfare Network Right -of -Way Protection Plan.
1. Findings. Action must betaken to plan, designate, and develop transportation corridors within St.
Lucie County for the following reasons:
a. Traffic congestion and overcrowding on the State Highway System and County Road System
constitute a serious and growing problem, which impedes the development of an effective
County -wide transportation system, results in increased incidents of traffic accidents, personal
injury, and property damage or loss, impedes sound economic growth, impairs effective
growth management, discourages tourism, increases maintenance costs, shortens the effective
life of transportation facilities, delays public evacuation for natural storms and emergencies,
impairs national defense and disaster response readiness, delays response time for emergency
vehicles, significantly increases public infrastructure needs and associated costs related to the
provisions of police, fire, accident, medical, and hospital services, impairs air quality and
otherwise is injurious to the public health, safety, and welfare.
b. The designation and protection of transportation corridors and the planning and development
of transportation facilities within transportation corridors will substantially assist in allowing
St. Lucie County to mitigate traffic congestion and overcrowding on the State Highway
System and County Road System, and aid in the development of an effective uncongested and
adequately maintained County -wide transportation system.
c. Transportation corridors cannot be developed without timely identification, preservation, and
protection through regulation, or acquisition of property necessary to accommodate existing
and planned transportation facilities within the State Highway System and County Road
System.
d. Protecting, preserving, and timely acquiring property for the development of transportation
facilities within the transportation corridors will also prevent the creation of the health, safety
and welfare problems and liabilities described above from burdening the County with
increasing public revenue requirements, will substantially aid the sound planning for growth,
assist the provision of transportation facilities concurrent with the impact of development,
expedite the provision of an adequate State Highway system and County Highway System for
the residents of the County, alleviate traffic problems, and substantially enhance the
elimination of traffic hazards and the improvements of traffic facilities.
The St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan in Policies 1.1.7.3 and 2.1.3.1 directs that
appropriate measures should be taken in order to protect the level of service standards on all
public roadways within the unincorporated county which include the State Highway System
and County Road System. The Comprehensive Plan also directs that land development
adjacent to roads where there is substantial right-of-way requirements pursuant to County
specifications should provide for dedication of sufficient additional right-of-way to bring the
adjacent right-of-way up to minimum County standards.
2. General. The St. Lucie County Thoroughfare Network Right -of -Way Protection Plan shall identify
existing and future transportation corridors and transportation facilities, and shall serve as the
implementing Section of the Transportation Element of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive
Plan.
3. Purpose. The purpose of the Thoroughfare Network Right -of -Way Protection Plan is:
a. To identify the rights -of -way needed for both County and Inter -County Road Systems in
conjunction with the State Highway System to ensure county and regional continuity of the
transportation system for St. Lucie County.
b. To encourage municipalities within St. Lucie County to adopt similar Thoroughfare Network
Right -of -Way Protection Plans that are consistent with the County's Thoroughfare Network
Right -of -Way Protection Plan.
c. To utilize as many existing rights -of -way as is reasonably possible, and to anticipate future
needs in areas where rights -of -way do not exist.
d. To establish right-of-way widths for future transportation facilities.
e. To establish and encourage harmonious, orderly and progressive development of the County
Road system and State Highway System in St. Lucie County, that would assure safer and more
efficient traffic circulation.
f. To adequately plan for the future transportation needs of St. Lucie County and its citizens.
B. Review of the Thoroughfare Network Right -of -Way Protection Plan. The Thoroughfare Network
Right -of -Way Protection Plan shall be reviewed by each of the following the Growth Management
Director, Public Works Director, St. Lucie Metropolitan Planning Organization, and the St. Lucie
County Board of County Commissioners at least one (1) time every two (2) years to assess the
necessity for continuing the protection of the transportation corridors and the necessity for retaining the
property acquired for the transportation corridor. If a transportation corridor is determined to be no
longer necessary, the transportation corridor shall be removed from the Plan. If a new transportation
corridor is determined to be needed, the transportation corridor shall be added to the Plan. Any
additions or deletions from this plan shall be accompanied by the appropriate amendments to the
Transportation Element of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
C. Minimum Right -of -Way and Typical Section Requirements. The following minimum right-of-way
widths (Table 7-15) shall be used in considering land dedication needs for roadways identified on the
Thoroughfare Network Right -of -Way Protection Plan.

SUBJECT: Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) Based Comprehensive Plan
Amendments
PROJECT: 09-2819
Background: The St. Lucie County EAR -based Amendments were approved by the Board of
County Commissioners on June 1, 2010 for transmittal to the Florida Department of Community
Affairs (DCA), the South Florida Water Management District, the Florida Department of
Transportation, and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and other agencies that review
comprehensive plan amendments. The Florida Department of Community Affairs issued its
Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report on August 16, 2010 based upon its
review of the EAR -based Amendments and comments from the reviewing agencies.
Summary: This memorandum summarizes changes made to the EAR -based Amendments in
response to the ORC Report. Changes are shaded in the text.
Objection #1: DCA recommended revising the objectives to include the specific, measurable,
intermediate end results that mark progress toward the goal and revise the policies to include
meaningful and predictable energy conservation and greenhouse gas emission strategies that will
be applied to development. Also, the policies should identify the guidelines and standards the
County can apply immediately and include specific actions for implementing additional energy
conservation measures that will take longer to implement.
It is important to note that the EAR -based Amendments includes a number of strategies that the
County has currently in place to prevent sprawl, encourage compact development, and reduce
production of greenhouse gases. The Data Inventory and Analysis was revised (from page I A 1)
to further inventory the work of the Smart Growth Committee and the extensive smart growth and
green planning strategies that exist in the County today and planning initiatives such as Project
Energy that are underway right now. The Conservation Element provides additional history on
the County's commitment to sustainable growth and the County's Green Local Government
Certification through the Florida Green Building Coalition, Inc. (FGBC) (from page 6-17).
The following is an inventory of Comprehensive Plan strategies that the County currently has in
place followed by a list of strategies that will occur in the near future:
2
OCTOBER 7.2010
1) Urban Service Area: This area lies to the east of the previously discussed Urban Service
Boundary and represents the preferred regions for development at urban intensities. The area
indicated is the most likely to have centralized water and wastewater services provided by either a
municipal utility or a privately operated regional enterprise. The intent of the urban service area
designation is to restrict the negative impacts of a sprawling low density development pattern and
the fiscal burden that pattern of development has on the ability of the community to meet its
service needs.
The following Future Land Use Element policies provide for implementation of the Urban Service
Boundary and the Urban Service Area:
Policy 1.1.4.3- Retain an urban service area boundary to restrict the negative impacts of a
sprawling low density development pattern and the fiscal burden that pattern of development has
on the ability of the community to meet its service needs.
Policy 1.1.5.1 - Urban development activities shall be restricted to that area identified as the
Urban Service Area in the Future Land Use Map series. Urban development activities are defined,
for the purpose of this Policy, as any residential development activity in excess of two units to the
gross acre, any non-agricultural commercial activity or any non- extractive/non-agriculturally
related industrial activity.
Policy 1.1.5.2 - Prior to the issuance of any final development order within the Urban Service
Area, the County shall consider the proximity of the proposed development activity to the
availability of urban and community services and facilities. Development which requires
extending any of these services over or through significant distances of undeveloped land or land
not already subject to the issuance of a final development order shall be discouraged until other
lands that are more proximate to the existing services have been developed.
The Urban Service Area is also mentioned in the Future Land Use Element Data Inventory and
Analysis (p. 1-4) and the Urban Service Boundary is displayed on map FLU-12.
The following Infrastructure Element policy support concentrating urban development within the
Urban Service Area:
Policy 4A.1.1.2: The County Utility District will determine the most cost effective and efficient
means of providing potable water services to all areas of the urban service area as depicted in
Policy 1.1.5.1 in a manner that will not promote linear or leapfrog development consistent with
Policy 1.1.5.2. The County Utility District will determine the most cost effective and efficient
means of providing potable water services for all development approved by the County
Commission within the unincorporated areas of the County outside the urban service area which
approval is subject to the provision of central water service within such development.
Policy 4D.1.1.12: The County Utility District will determine the most cost effective and efficient
means of providing sanitary sewer services to all areas of the urban service area as depicted in
Policy 1.1.5.1 in a manner that will not promote linear or leapfrog development consistent with
Policy 1.1.5.2. The County Utility District will determine the most cost effective and efficient
means of providing sanitary sewer services for all development that may be approved by the
County Commission within the unincorporated areas of the County outside the urban service area
which approval is subject to the provision of sanitary sewer service within such development.

2) Towns, Villages and Countryside (TVC) Element. The TVC Element is an existing part of
the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. It uses Traditional Neighborhood Design principles
for undeveloped areas of northern St. Lucie County. The element requires a mix of uses, with a
pedestrian -friendly block and street network in development or redevelopment. The TVC
Element is described in the Future Land Use Element Data Inventory and Analysis (p. 1-12).
3) Jenkins Road Area Plan Special District. The County completed the Jenkins Road Area
charrette and land development code amendments in 2007. The need for a Special Area Plan
came from a desire balance development commercial and industrial, and residential uses near
major roadways such as the Turnpike, I-95, and Okeechobee Road with a grid -style roadway
network, and accessibility for pedestrians and transit in the area. Strategies include addressing
failing roadway facilities and provides for internal capture of trips, and increased modes of
internal trip capture which reduce vehicle miles and greenhouse gas production.
The following Future Land Use Element Policy supports planning and greenhouse gas reduction
in this Jenkins Road area:
Policy 1.1.4.9- The County shall continue to support dense, compact development in the Jenkins
Special Area Plan corridor which creates a viable road system and supporting multi -modal
facilities, and to create an innovative, mixed use neighborhood that increases the internal capture
of trips and to include walkable scale and bicycle facilities that increase the variety of modes of
transportation used to make internal trips built with adequate open space and recreational
resources, and to protect natural resources.
4) Preservation of Agricultural Areas. The current Targeted Industry List for St. Lucie County
includes biofuels. As a part of the Targeted Industry List, biofuels projects would receive priority
for consideration of economic development incentives and expedited development review.
Future Land Use Element
Policy 1.4.1.4: The County shall continue to support activities that encourage biofuels production
per the St. Lucie County Targeted Industry list.
Project Energy includes the following immediate and longterm erm planning initiatives:
5) Solar and Energy Loan Fund. The County began the Solar and Energy Loan Fund program
in 2010 to grant low interest loans to residents and business owners to install energy efficiency
and conservation measures as well as renewable energy technology. New Future Land Use
Element Policy 1.4.2.5 and Housing Element Policy 3.2.7.10 support this current activity. The
Solar and Energy Loan Fund is also mentioned in the Future Land Use Element Data Inventory
and Analysis (p. 1-13).
6) Green Building Standards. The following Future Land Use Element policy and objective
support green building standards and green practices for County buildings and operations.
Future Land Use Element
Policy 1.4.2.1 — In accordance with Section 255.2575, F.S. the County will continue to construct
all future County buildings to meet the United States Green Building Council (USGBC)
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system or the Florida Green
Building Coalition standards.
7) Certified Green Local Government. In 2010, St. Lucie County was certified as a Florida
Green Local Government (Gold Level). The certification process provides a systematic way for
local governments to assess its level of sustainability and to incorporate multiple environmental,
4
OCTOBER 7, 2010
ecological and sustainability features throughout its operations to reduce consumption and
increase efficiency; saving taxpayer dollars and the environment.
Future Land Use Element
Objective 1.4.3: Maintain St. Lucie County Greenprint and implement specific actions as part of
the Florida Green Building Council's Green Local Government certification, including:
The Conservation Element Data Inventory and Analysis also provides details on the St. Lucie
County green government certification and Greenprint. (p. 6-17)
8) Green Jobs and Innovation Corridor Charrette. From 2009, the County has been planning
a green jobs corridor surrounding the Treasure Coast Education and Research Park, located
between the Turnpike and Kings Highway north of Okeechobee Road. A workshop on the Green
Jobs and Innovation Corridor was held by the County on October 9, 2010. Additional economic
development and job creation in the county will reduce long commutes to employment centers in
West Palm Beach and Vero Beach and increase jobs/housing balance ratios. At the time of
adoption of the EAR -based Amendments, planning of specific strategies for development of the
area are still being developed.
Future Land Use Element
Policy 1.1.4.10— Land Development Code amendments to implement recommendations in the
Green Jobs and Innovation Corridor Charrette which will include an emphasis on green collar* ob
creation, green energy, energy conservation. building standards, landscaping, public meeting
places and guidelines to develop the Research Park so that it will encompass the most current
green technology available will be completed by December 2011,
The Green Jobs and Innovation Corridor Charrette is also mentioned in the Future Land Use
Element Data Inventory and Analysis (p. 1-12).
9) Green District. St. Lucie County has collaborated with the U.S. Department of Energy Oak
Ridge National Laboratory, General Electric, the City of Fort Pierce, and other local
organizations to create a model sustainable community. The Future land Use Data Inventory and
Analysis lists the specific partnerships and programs including the Green Collar Training Center.
(p. 1-13).
Additional Comprehensive Plan strategies focus on planning and land use activities that support
greenhouse gases that will be implemented in the near future.
10) Transfer of Development Rights Program. The County's Western Lands Study is currently
underway. The intent of the Western Lands Study is to preserve a functioning network of
agriculture, open space, and natural areas while providing economically viable options for
agricultural landowners, now and in the future. The County intends to include a transfer of
development right program encouraging property owner outside the Urban Service Area to
transfer their development rights within Urban Service Area to preserve agricultural areas, the
economic feasibility of agricultural production, and to preserve natural areas.
Policy 1.4.1.3 Amend the Comprehensive Plan to include a transfer of development rights
program by December 2011 that preserves agricultural areas, open spaces, and natural areas
through a green infrastructure analysis.
5
OCTOBER 7, 2010
11) Mobility Fees. A workshop was held on September 24, 2010 on vehicle miles travelled
(VMT)-based mobility fees. New Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.2.1.6 requires the study to be
completed by December 2011.
Future Land Use Element:
Policy 1.2.1.6 Complete they study on innovative transportation funding practices that discourage
sprawl such as a mobility fee that charges all new developments with costs varying on location
and vehicles miles traveled (VMT) per the Transportation Element by December 2011.
12) Compact, Walkable Development. The County supports compact, walkable development
and includes this greenhouse gas reduction concept in all major planning initiatives including the
TVC and Jenkins Special Area Plan. To support compact walkable development in other areas of
the unincorporated County, the following Future Land Use Element policy was added:
Future Land Use Element Policy:
Policy 1.1.4.7- The County shall amend the Land Development Code to require design standards
for compact, walkable development by December 2011.
This Future Land Use Element Policy is supported by the following Transportation Element
Policies:
Policy 2.3.1.1 - The County shall coordinate with the FDOT, the St. Lucie Transportation
Planning Organization (TPO), the City of Fort Pierce, and the City of Port St. Lucie and
implement the recommendations of the 2008 SLC Bicycle, Pedestrian, Greenways & Trails Study
as it may be updated, when funding is available, or as provided in the Land Development Code.
Policy 2.3.2.5 - Include within the Land Development Code by December 2011 a requirement
that all new development provide bicycle facilities and/or sidewalks along all major collector and
arterial roadways within and adjacent to the proposed development project. Pedestrian facilities
shall be required along all local streets as necessary to support the intensity and density of
development.
Policy 2.3.2.6 - Coordinate bicycle planning activities with other agencies associated with bicycle
planning activities in Okeechobee, Martin and Indian River Counties including FDOT.
Policy 2.3.1.7 - Motorized and non -motorized transportation needs shall be identified and
addressed and met for each new development approval.
Policy 2.3.1.8 - The County shall continue to implement the necessary Land Development Code
amendments to require that all new land development activities include dedicated bicycle and
pedestrian facilities on internal arterial and collector roadways. Pedestrian facilities shall be
required along all local streets as necessary to support the intensity and density of development.
The following provides more detail on the changes made to the EAR -based Amendments after the
ORC Report for Objection #1:
a) Specific to comments regarding Future Land Use Element Objective 1.1.4, additional
information about the County's extensive planning processes including the TVC, Jenkins Road
Special Area Plan, Western Lands Study, Green Jobs and Innovation Corridor, and Green District
are included in the Data Inventory and Analysis.
6
OCTOBER 7, 2010
Other changes include:
• Policy 1.1.4.7 was added to state that the County will amend the Land Development
Code to require design standards for compact, walkable development by December 2011.
• Policy 1.1.4.8 was also added under this objective to reflect Transportation Element
Policy 2.2.1.4 which states that the County shall work with the FDOT to develop
guidelines for Transit Oriented Development (TOD) by December 2012.
• Policy 1.1.4.9 was added to reflect land development regulations regarding the Jenkins
Areas Special District Area Plan which requires compact development and Policy
1.1.4.10 was added to reflect the Green Jobs and Innovation Corridor Charrette plans.
• Policy 1.1.4.6 regarding the monitoring of aging neighborhoods and encouraging
redevelopment was removed as the County has not identified redevelopment areas.
(b) Specific to comments regarding Objective 1.4.1, new language regarding the Western Lands
was added. Policy 1.4.1.3 requires development of transfer of development rights program by
December 2011 that preserves agricultural areas, open spaces, and natural areas through a green
infrastructure analysis. Policy 1.4.1.4 affirms the County's focus on biofuels in the economic
development activities and as part of their Targeted Industry List. Policy 1.4.1.5 requires the
preservation of agriculture through economic development strategies that support local
agriculture that will provide greater opportunity for agriculture -related businesses and ecotourism
in the western lands.
(c) Specific to Future Land Use Objective 1.4.2, new Policy 1.4.2.5 was added to state that the
County shall continue to grant low interest loans through the Solar and Energy Loan Fund to
residents and business owners to install energy efficiency and conservation measures as well as
renewable energy technology. Also details on the program were added to the Data Inventory and
Analysis in the Conservation Element.
(d) In the Transportation Element, language regarding reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
through promoting increased transit usage, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and limiting new road
development was moved to new Objective 2.1.213. Policies 2.1.2.11-2.12.14 were renumbered to
correlate to Objective 2.1.2B. Also Policy 2.1.2.4 regarding Transit Oriented Development was
moved to Policy 2.1.213.5.
(e) Specific to DCA comments, Housing Element Policy 3.2.7.10 was added to state that the
County shall continue to grant low interest loans through the Solar and Energy Loan Fund to
residents and business owners to install energy efficiency and conservation measures as well as
renewable energy technology.
OBJECTION #2
DCA objected to allowing exemptions for affordable housing in Policy 1.1.4.7 (Now Policy
1.1.4.6) which requires future land use map amendment applications that increase residential
development demonstrate a numerical population need. DCA recommended revising Policy
1.1.4.7 to eliminate the exemption for infill development and affordable housing from the
comprehensive needs analysis. This exception has been eliminated.
OBJECTION #3
Objection #3 states that new Future Land Use Policy 1.1.5.12 regarding location of urban land
use intensities within the urban service boundary is vague. Additionally, DCA stated that the
policy uses the word "encourage" and "discourage" regarding the location of land uses and the
conservation of agricultural land, and defers to the Land Development Code rather than providing
meaningful and predictable guidelines in the policy for the location of land uses. DCA
7
OCTOBER7,2010
recommended revising Policy 1.1.5.12 regarding discouraging urban land uses in agricultural
areas outside the urban service boundary. Policy 1.1.5.12 was struck and Policy 1.4.1.3 was
added to state that the County would amend the Comprehensive Plan to include a transfer of
development rights program by December 2011 that preserves agricultural areas, open spaces,
and natural areas through a green infrastructure analysis. Policies 1.4.1.4 and 1.4.1.5 were added
to support existing and future economic development strategies related to agriculture.
OBJECTION #4
Objection #4 stated that new Future Land Use Element Policy 1.1.11.4 regarding
Mining/Industrial Extraction did not provide meaningful and predictable guidelines for
determining adverse effects on environmentally sensitive lands or compatibility with surrounding
land uses. The language for this new policy was originally in the Data, Inventory, and Analysis.
The Land Development Code provides guidance for County decisions on Mining/Industrial
Extraction. DCA recommended not adopting Policy 1.1.11.4 regarding criteria for mining and
industrial extraction. This policy was struck.
OBJECTION #5
DCA recommended revising the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) level of service for SIS
Roadways. The Transportation Element Data, Inventory, Policy 2.1.2.6 and Capital Improvement
Element Policy 9.1.1.12 have been updated to include level of service standards for SIS facilities
consistent with FDOT standards. The three non -roadway SIS facilities: the Intracoastal
Waterway, the Florida East Coast (FEC) Mainline Rail Corridor, and the South Central Florida
Express Railroad K Line are included in the Data, Inventory, and Analysis Section on pages 2-4,
2-5, and 2-13 and on Map TRN-11.
OBJECTION #6
DCA recommended adjusting some data related to SIS facilities SR70/Okeechobee Road. Data
from these two facilities has be adjusted in Transportation Element Tables 2-5 and 2-12 to data
received from FDOT (2008 AADT Data) except for one segment of I-95 from Gatlin Boulevard
to St. Lucie Boulevard. Adjustments were also made to maps TRN-1, TRN-2, TRN-4, and TRN-
5 as follows based upon the new data:
TRN-1 (Existing # of Lanes):
1-95 from Midway to Okeechobee Rd — 6 Lanes
Okeechobee Rd from I-95 to the Virginia Ave/Okeechobee Rd Fork — 6 Lanes
TRN-2 (Future # of Lanes):
I-95 from Okeechobee Rd to Orange Ave — 8 Lanes
I-95 from Orange Ave to Indrio Rd — 8 Lanes
I-95 from Indrio Rd to Indian River County Line — 8 Lanes
Okeechobee Rd from McCarty Rd to FL Turnpike — 6 Lanes
Okeechobee Rd from FL Turnpike to 1-95 — 6 Lanes
Okeechobee Rd from I-95 to the Virginia Ave/Okeechobee Rd Fork — 6 Lanes
TRN-4 (Existing Roadway LOS):
1-95 from St. Lucie West Blvd to Midway Rd — LOS B
1-95 from Midway Rd to Okeechobee Rd — LOS B
1-95 from Orange Ave to Indrio Rd — LOS B
I-95 from Indrio Rd to Indian River County Line — LOS B
Okeechobee Rd from McCarthy Rd to FL Turnpike — LOS A
Okeechobee Rd from FL Turnpike to I-95 — LOS F
Okeechobee Rd from I-95 to the Virginia Ave/Okeechobee Rd Fork — LOS C
8
OCTOBER Z 2010
TRN 5 (Future Roadway LOS):
I-95 from Martin County Line to Gatlin Blvd — LOS F
I-95 from Gatlin Blvd to St. Lucie West Blvd — LOS E
I-95 from St. Lucie West Blvd to Midway Rd — LOS D
I-95 from Midway Rd to Okeechobee Rd — LOS E
I-95 from Indrio Rd to Indian River County Line — LOS B
Okeechobee Rd from Okeechobee County Line to McCarty Rd — LOS A
DCA recommended adding meaningful and predictable guidelines for implementing
Transportation Demand Management strategies, mobility fees, and other programs for
transportation improvements. Language was added to Future Land Use Policies 1.2.1.4 and
1.2.1.5 and Transportation Element policies 2.1.2B3 and 2.1.2B4 to state that that the County
would consider including these projects in their annual budget. Policy completion dates have
now also been included in Transportation Element Policies 2.1.2A.9, 2.1.2B.4, 2.6.1.6, and
2.6.1.7.
Transportation Element Policy 2.1.2B.I was clarified to state that mobility fee study (currently
underway by the County) will be completed by December 2011. Additional information on the
mobility fees was included in the Future Land Use Element Data Inventory and Analysis on page
1-13.
OBJECTION #7
DCA recommended that future transportation map TRN-2 be modified to be consistent with the
2030 Regional Long Range Transportation Plan. The following changes were made map to
TRN-2:
• Orange Avenue between Kings Highway and Jenkins Road now shows 4 lanes.
• Becker Road extension, Gatlin Boulevard extension, Village Parkway, and Crosstown
Parkway extension were added as part of the Port St. Lucie Annexation area map from
FDOT (Map TRN-5 was also modified with these changes.)
• US-1 just south of Orange Avenue as 4 lanes not 8 lanes (Map TRN-1 was also modified
with these changes.)
• State Hwy 609A, CR 609, and Sneed Road are now on TRN-2 (similar to TRN-1).
Other changes to the Transportation Maps include:
• TRN-I I now labels the FEC and South Central Florida Railroad K Line.
• TRN-1 -Orange Ave west of Kings Highway now shows 2 lanes.
• TRN-1 and TRN-4 - a few roadway segments were either added or deleted to show
consistency with the future map series.
OBJECTION #8
DCA recommended including maps to identify port facilities and airport facilities including clear
zones. Figure 2-1 was clarified to state that it represents runway protection zones (clear zones).
Figure 2-3 Map of Port of Fort Pierce operations area was added on page 2-14.
OBJECTION #9
DCA recommended revising Housing Element Policy 3.2.3.2 to provide meaningful and
predictable guidelines to ensure substandard housing is rehabilitated. The policy was revised to
9
OCTOBER 7, 2010
state, "The County shall continue to encourage rehabilitation of substandard, dilapidated housing
through rehabilitation grants."
OBJECTION #10
DCA recommended revising the Public School Facilities Element (PSFE) for consistency with
the District Facilities Work Plan. However, PSFE Objective 13.2.6 states that the County shall
adopt by reference in its Capital Improvements Element, the St. Lucie County School Board
annually updated 5-Year Work Program. Therefore, new Capital Improvement Element Policy
9.1.1.24 was added to state that the County will adopt by reference the St. Lucie School District
Five Year District Facilities Work Program (2010-2011 Work Plan) adopted on September 28,
2010. Additionally, School District projects from the prior year's work program were struck in
the Schedule of Capital Improvements in the Capital Improvement Element.
School Board projects mentioned in the Future Land Use Element Data, Inventory and Analysis
were revised to be consistent with the St. Lucie County School District Facilities Work Program
(2010-2011 Work Plan).
Comment #1 The South Florida Water Management District indicated a concern that the Future
Land Use descriptions did not allow SFWMD structures such as gates (locks), monitoring
stations, small platforms, or docks for their activities. These are not principle structures and are
not subject to the principle uses outlined in the Future Land Use categories. No change was made
at this time.
Comment #2 DCA recommended clarifying the term environmentally beneficial in Future Land
Use Policy 1.1.9.2. In response, the policy was revised to state, "In conjunction with the
implementation of Policy 1.1.9.1, the County shall, by December 2012, consider allowing fees in
lieu of on -site preservation for the purpose of habitat acquisition/preservation. The Land
Development Code criteria and standards drafted for the protection and preservation of both
wetland and upland habitat shall specify criteria when fees in lieu of on -site preservation shall be
allowed. The criteria shall consider limitations of size, quality and connectivity of the proposed
on -site preservation and shall provide for off -site habitat acquisition/preservation of higher
quality, larger, connected sites."
Comment #3 DCA recommended revising map FLU-12 Urban Service Boundary to indicate
areas that are now included in the City of Port St. Lucie Urban Service Boundary. The County
has never encouraged urban development in the western lands because of presumptive costs
associated with sprawl. Also, the County has begun focusing on the planning for the western part
of the County, including the area west of the City of Port St. Lucie. It is the County's hope that
the City would heed the recommendations of the TCRPC and the DCA to establish a western
limit and work with the County on the annexation agreement and joint planning efforts. There is
no change to the map at this time.
Comment #4: DCA suggested adding policies to support Transportation Element Policy
2.4.3.1.C. which states "The following policies of St. Lucie County's Comprehensive Plan are
supportive of this scenic corridor and are hereby incorporated in this goal by reference." The
language in policy refers to the policies within the Comprehensive Plan. There is no change
made to this Policy.
Comment #5: DCA recommended including actions to be undertaken by the County to obtain
funding for transportation projects. Transportation Element Policies 2.6.1.6 and 2.6.1.7 state that
the County shall pursue funding sources for transit and other transportation projects. Completion
dates were added.
10
OCTOBER 7, 2010
Comment #6: DCA suggested that St. Lucie County should include a policy to work closely with
the two Dense Urban Land Area (DULA) cities in their efforts to fulfill statutory requirements to
development Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas to achieve coordinated multimodal
planning and projects to address extra jurisdictional transportation system impacts. New
Transportation Element Policy 2.4.1.4 has now been added to address this comment. (Note:
SB360 requiring TCEAs for DULAs has per the Florida courts been expunged from Florida
statutes. The summary judgment is being challenged. Whether SB360 is upheld or not, the
County wishes to move forward on coordinating with the municipalities on multimodal planning.)
Comment #7: DCA recommended removing level of service standards for concurrency
management areas and constrained/backlogged facilities in Transportation Element Policy
2.1.2.6. The County does not currently have any TCMAs. However, the LOS standards are
included so that if a TCMA were to be established then the LOS standards would already be in
place. The constrained roadways and mitigation efforts are part of the Congestion Management
System (CMS) which is updated annually by the TPO. Therefore, new roadways could be added
to the list on an annual basis. The CMS is referenced in Policy 2.1.1.2. There is no change to the
element at this time.
Comment #8: DCA recommended that the County should consider enhancing transit supportive
policies particularly in support of the proposed Amtrak/Intermodal center in downtown Fort
Pierce. The Transportation Element and Future Land Use element both require the County to
development Transit Oriented Development standards by 2012 which suits this purpose. No
change made for this comment.
Comment #9: DCA recommended removing the word "acceptable" from Objective 2.1.2
regarding constrained roadways. This change has been made.
Comment #10: DCA recommended revising Housing Element Policy 3.1.1.1 to be consistent
with the Strategic Regional Policy Plan. This change has been made.
Comment #11: DCA recommended not deleting a reference to the Stormwater Management Plan
in Conservation Element Policy 6.1.2.2. This change has been made.
Comment #12: DCA recommended clarifying requirements for wildlife management plans. The
following has been inserted into Policy 6.1.8.10: "The management plan shall specify and provide
for a funding mechanism to initiate and maintain the plan, and shall follow the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Commission's recommendations for managing listed wildlife species when applicable."
Comment #13: DCA suggested including a date in Conservation Element Objective 6.1.15 when
the Wetland Inventory Study may be completed. The Objective was revised to state that the
study will be complete in June 2011. Existing Policies 6.1.15.2 and 6.1.15.3 state when land
development code and comprehensive plan amendments will be completed.
Comment #14: DCA suggested adding the Martin Metropolitan Planning Organization to Policy
8.1.2.5 regarding the Regional Transit Development Plan. This change was made.
Comment #15: DCA recommended including information on executed developer agreements in
the five-year Schedule of Capital Improvements. The County will review this comment when the
FY 11 Capital Improvement Element Update is prepared and adopted.
11
OCTOBER 7, 2010
Other Changes to the Comprehensive Plan include:
• Table 1-3 was adjusted to remove the compatibility of Conservation Public (CPub) land
use with Religious Facilities (RF) zoning. Also, the CPub zoning was marked as
compatible with all future land use designations.
• Specific right-of-way standards were removed from Transportation Element Policy
2.1.3.3. The policy was amended to state that minimum right-of-way standards as
described in the Land Development Code shall be used by the County to implement the
thoroughfare right-of-way protection plan.

Historic Resources
In December 2006, the St. Lucie County Historic Preservation Ordinance was passed by
the Board of County Commissioners. The Ordinance is consistent with the general
purpose goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The Ordinance
includes definitions, and provisions for an Historic Preservation Trust Fund, Historic
Preservation Officer, Historic Preservation Committee, and historic designation process
and procedures. The Comprehensive Plan provides for a Historic future land use
designation.
The Bureau of Archaeological Research within the Florida Office of Cultural and Historic
Preservation maintains the Florida Master Site File (MSF), a database that contains
information on archaeological and historic resources in Florida. Map FLU-10 Historic
Sites, identifies and locates the historic resources contained on the MSF. The Florida
Department of Historic Resources has jurisdiction over historic and archaeological sites
if there are human remains or if a state or federal permit is requested. If a private
property owner develops or redevelops their property and their property is listed on the
MSF, the state historic preservation officer should be contacted for guidance.
Appendices 1A and 1B provide lists of sites located within unincorporated St. Lucie
County on the Florida Master Site File.
Sites on the National Register of Historic Places located within St. Lucie County include
the following:
• Arcade Building
• Casa Caprona
• Cresthaven
• Old Fort Pierce City Hall
• Fort Pierce Old Post Office
• Frere Jules House
• Captain Hammond House
• Zora Neale Hurston House
• Immokolee
• Moore's Creek Bridge
• St. Anastasia High School
• St. Lucie High School
• St. Lucie Historic District
• Sunrise Theater
• Ura de Lima Underwater Archaelogical Site (Shipwreck)
(Source: National Park Service, National Register of Historic Places, 2009)
Casa Caprona and the Captain Hammond House lie within unincorported St. Lucie
County. Another significant historic resource not on the Florida Master Site File or
National Register of Historic Places is the Zora Neale Hurston Dust Tracks Heritage
Trail.

EAR -based Amendments October 2010
REDEVELOPMENT
The County has not officially designated any areas as having conditions of slum and
blight, but is continuing to monitor aging areas and implement needed programs and
improvements.
Economic Development
This Comprehensive Plan includes an optional Economic Development Element as part
of the County's overall vision for sustainability. In order to achieve its economic
development goals, St. Lucie County has embraced two popular economic development
tools, namely branding and cluster development.
Along with Indian River and Martin County, St. Lucie County now promotes itself as part
of Florida's Research Coast. This branding highlights the region's desire to shift its
image from an agricultural and tourist based economy to an area that is invested in
recruiting businesses that offer high -skilled, high -paying, long-term employment
opportunities.
Further St. Lucie County has created a Targeted Industry List which pinpoints the
specific sectors it would like to see relocate to the area. This list is composed of
manufacturing, research, and distribution sectors that complement each other and would
encourage the creation of industry clusters. Cluster theory is based on the concept that
businesses and research centers want to be located in close proximity to similar
institutions so that they may take advantage of a skilled workforce, access to specialized
higher learning institutions, and adjacency to specialized customers and suppliers. The
County has demonstrated the cluster concept with the recruitment of three major life
sciences institutes- Torrey Pines Institute, Mann Research Center and the Vaccine and
Gene Therapy Institute.
Treasure Coast Education, Research and Development Authority (TCERDA)
In 2005, the St. Lucie Board of County Commissioners and the University of Florida
collectively created this agriculturally-and-biotechnologically-focused Research Park in
unincorporated St. Lucie County including renewable energy and alternative fuel
companies. This Research Park is governed by the Treasure Coast Education,
Research and Development Authority (TCERDA), pursuant to Florida Statute Section
159, Part V, and the enabling Resolution and Ordinance of the Board of County
Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida. It is envisioned as a home to multi-
disciplinary scientists, researchers and educators.
The initial master plan calls for over 350 developed acres of buildings and wet labs to
house research, development and educational institutions, businesses and incubators,
with an additional 700 acres for agricultural fields and for future Research Park
expansion. USDA's 170,000 square foot Horticultural Research Laboratory and the
90,000 square foot University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences'
Research and Education Center will anchor the TCERDA's Research Park.
St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan 1-15 Future Land Use Element
EAR -based Amendments October 2010
GROWTH MANAGEMENT HISTORY
The County's prior master plan, the Growth Management Policy Plan (GMPP), was
adopted in 1981 in accordance with the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act
of 1975. That Plan provided a general guide for land use decisions in the
unincorporated regions of the County. It recognized the importance of a mix of land
uses and gave the County leverage, through its implementation, in determining the
appropriateness of proposed land use activities on a case -by -case basis. The GMPP
also set forth policies for a wide spectrum of environmental issues.
Population growth in St. Lucie County was explosive in the early and mid-1980's. A fault
of the Growth Management Policy Plan was that it failed to provide the flexibility that was
necessary to meet the demands of a rapidly growing community. This shortcoming
resulted in the necessity to constantly consider major amendments that cumulatively
served to denigrate the effectiveness of the entire plan.
The St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan was first adopted in 1990, and it took the
foundation laid by the County's original master plan (GMPP), and built upon it to meet
the revised intent of Chapter 163.08, Florida Statutes. In doing so, the following issues
and concerns were acknowledged and addressed:
■ Preservation, maintenance, and enhancement of the County's natural resources,
including:
o the Indian River Lagoon,
o the North Fork of the St. Lucie River,
o the Savannas,
o the coastal barrier islands system,
o isolated inland wetland systems,
o aquifer recharge areas,
o native upland habitat;
• Increased pressure of western development migration;
■ Emergence of the 1-95/Florida Turnpike corridor as a major force in future
development consideration;
■ Desire of the community to attract high -quality employers; and,
■ Efficiency in traffic circulation associated with providing residential areas near
employment hubs.
Evaluation and Appraisal Reports
Pursuant to Section 163.3191, Florida Statutes, "each local government shall adopt an
evaluation and appraisal report (EAR) once every seven years assessing the progress in
implementing the local government's comprehensive plan." The report evaluates how
successful a community has been in addressing major community land use planning

1.
Transportation Concurrency Management Areas are geographically compact areas designated in
local government comprehensive plans where intensive development exists or is planned in a
manner that will ensure an adequate level of mobility and further the achievement of identified
important state planning goals and policies, including discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl,
encouraging the revitalization of existing downtowns and designated redevelopment areas protecting
natural resources, protecting historic resources, maximizing the efficient use of existing public
facilities, and promoting public transit, bicycling, walking and other alternatives to the single occupant
automobile. Transportation concurrency management areas may be established in a comprehensive
plan in accordance with Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code.
2.
Maintain means continuing operating conditions at a level such that significant degradation does not
occur based on conditions existing at the time of local government comprehensive plan adoption.
For roadways in rural areas, transitioning urbanized areas, urban areas or communities, significant
degradation means (1) an increase in average annual daily traffic volume of 5 percent below the
speed, of the adopted LOS standard. For roadways in urbanized areas, for 100th highest hour of 5
percent below the speed, of the adopted LOS standard. For roadways in urbanized areas, for
roadways parallel to exclusive transit facilities, or for intrastate roadways in transportation
concurrency management areas, significant degradation means (1) an increase in average annual
daily traffic volume of 10 percent above the maximum service volume, or (2) a reduction in operating
speed for the peak directions in the 100th highest hour of 10 percent below the speed, of the
adopted LOS standard. For other state roads in transportation concurrency management areas,
significant degradation means that amount defined in the transportation mobility element. For
constrained roadways meeting or exceeding the level of service standards, (maintain) does not apply
until the roadway is operating below the applicable minimum level of service standard.

3.
The County wishes to maintain a LOS D or better for all roadways but recognizes that allowing a
LOS E allows development to proceed while a minimum of LOS D might cause severe constraints on
private development. However, a LOS D will be utilized for these roadways when establishing
transportation impact fees.

collector road or segment of such a road is determined to be operating one level
of service below its adopted standard, the County shall exercise one of the
following options:
a. Enter into a contract that will result in the addition of capacity to the facility
within six months of the determination that the facility is operating below
its level of service standard, and delay issuance of development orders
until the contract has been executed;
b. Enter into an enforceable development agreement that specifies that new
development will provide for the upgraded facility;
C. Amend the plan to lower the level of service at the next opportunity;
d. Not issue any development permits in the impacted area. The purpose of
providing for the temporary operation below the adopted level of service
is to provide a reasonable period of time to restore the level of service
through appropriate improvements to roads that are forecast to operate at
the adopted Level of Service, but which may unexpectedly operate at a

Many of the projects within the County's capital improvements program include the
expansion of recreation opportunities at existing parks and recreational facilities. No
projects affecting level of service have been scheduled.
Schools. The St. Lucie School District provides for public school facilities in the County.
School facility needs —as reflected within the schedule for the 5 year time frame —are
consistent with the requirement to provide sufficient classroom and school site facility to
maintain and achieve the 100% capacity level of service standard required for all
schools, as determined by the Florida Department of Education. The capital projects
shown in the schedule will provide the school facility capacity to meet current student
enrollment projections for the 5 year window and is consistent with the St. Lucie County
School District's 5-Year Work Program.
The analysis of needs for school facilities were determined using a 100% capacity for all
schools level of service standard required by the Florida Department of Education. This

August 13, 2010
Division of Community Planning
This report is prepared pursuant to Rule 9J-11.010, F.A.C.
INTRODUCTION
The following objections, recommendations and comments are based upon the Department's
review of the St. Lucie County 10-IER proposed amendment to its Comprehensive Plan pursuant
to s. 163.3184, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
The objections relate to specific requirements of relevant portions of Chapter 9J-5, Florida
Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and Chapter 163, Part II, F.S. Each objection includes a
recommendation of one approach that might be taken to address the cited objection. Other
approaches may be more suitable in specific situations. Some of these objections may have
initially been raised by one or more of the other external review agencies. If there is a difference
between the Department's objection and the external agency advisory objection or comment, the
Department's objection would take precedence.
Each of these objections must be addressed by the County and corrected when the amendment is
resubmitted for our compliance review. Objections that are not addressed may result in a
determination that the amendment is not in compliance. The Department may have raised an
objection regarding missing data and analysis items, which the local government considers not
applicable to its amendment. If that is the case, a statement justifying its non -applicability
pursuant to Rule 9J-5.002(2), F.A.C., must be submitted. The Department will make a
determination on the non -applicability of the requirement, and if the justification is sufficient, the
objection will be considered addressed.
The comments that follow the objections and recommendations section are advisory in nature.
Comments will not form the basis of a determination of non-compliance. They are included to
call attention to items raised by our reviewers. The comments can be substantive, concerning
planning principles, methodology or logic, as well as editorial in nature dealing with grammar,
organization, mapping, and reader comprehension.
Appended at the end of the Department's ORC Report are the comment letters from the other state
review agencies and other agencies, organizations and individuals. These comments are advisory
to the Department and may not form the basis of Departmental objections unless they appear
under the "Objections" heading in this report.

OBJECTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS REPORT
ST. LUCIE COUNTY
PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 10-IER
I. Consistency with Chapter 163, F.S., and Rule 93-5, F.A.C.
St. Lucie County proposed comprehensive plan amendments address issues raised in the County's
Evaluation and Appraisal Report, address statuton changes, and update the goals, objectives and
policies of the comprehensive plan. The Department has identified the following objections and
comments to the proposed comprehensive plan amendments:
Objection 1: Chapter 2008-191, Laws of Florida. (House Bill 697), amended Section 163.3177
F.S., to require local comprehensive plans to address energy efficient land use patterns,
transportation strategies to address greenhouse gas reductions, energy conservation, and energy
efficient housing. The proposed EAR -based amendments include the following new or revised
objectives and policies:
(a) New Future Land Use Element Objective 1.1.4 states that the County will "consider
changes to the future land use plan based upon smart growth, energy efficient land use
patterns and discouraging the proliferation of urban sprawl." The accompanying polices
use terms such as "encourage" and do not include meaningful and predictable guidelines
and standards for achieving "smart growth" and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions or
demonstrate how "energy efficient land use patterns" will be achieved. In addition, new
Policy 1.1.4.6 to "monitor aging neighborhoods and encourage the redevelopment and
renewal of blighted areas" does not include meaningful and predictable guidelines and
standards for achieving neighborhood renewal.
(b) New Future Land Use Element Objective 1.4.1 proposes the creation of a sustainable
plan for the County's western lands. The objective is not supported with adequate policies
to ensure that the plan will be achieved. New Policy 1.4.1.1 states that the County will
"explore techniques for preservation of agriculture..." and new Policy 1.4.1.2 states that
the County will "consider innovative partnerships between urban areas, local and regional
governmental entities, and rural land owners..." The policies do not include meaningful
and predictable guidelines and standards with action steps to ensure that the sustainable
plan for the County's western lands will be developed and implemented.
(c) New Future Land Use Objective 1.4.2 states "encourage green building standards in
order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions." The objective does not identify the specific,
measurable, intermediate end that is to be achieved through the policies. New Policy
1.4.2.2 states that the County will "encourage the use of green building standards...." and
"explore incentives by 2012...". The policy does not provide meaningful and predictable
guidelines and standards as to how the County will "encourage" the use of green building
standards.
(d) New Transportation Element Policy 2.1.1.9 states that the County shall "continue to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions through promoting increased transit usage, bicycle and
pedestrian facilities, and more efficient roadways." The policy does not provide
meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards as to how the County will be
"promoting" increased transit usage, increased bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and more
efficient roadways.
(e) New Housing Element Objective 3.2.7 states that the County shall "support energy
efficiency and the use of renewable energy resources in existing housing and in the design
and construction of new housing." The objective does not identify the specific, measurable,
intermediate end that is to be achieved by the policies. The accompanying new polices use
terms such as "encourage" and "to the fullest extent possible" and do not include
meaningful and predictable guidelines and standards for achieving "energy efficiency" and
"the use of renewable energy resources" in the County's housing.
Authority.: Sections 163.3177(6)(a), (b), (d), (f)(1)h, and (j)10., F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.003(82) and
(90); and 9 J-5.005(6). F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the objectives to include the specific, measureable, intermediate end
results that mark progress toward the goal. Revise the policies to include meaningful and
predictable energy conservation and greenhouse gas emission strategies that will be applied to
development. Policies should include meaningful and predictable standards that will result in
compact, mixed use communities that contain a variety of housing types and prices, a variety of
employment and shopping opportunities, and require a multi -modal transportation system that will
result in reduced greenhouse gas emissions; require energy efficiency and the use of renewable
energy resources in the construction of new homes as well as during redevelopment activities; and
include strategies to address energy conservation. The policies should identify the guidelines and
standards the County can apply immediately and include specific actions for implementing
additional energy conservation measures that will take longer to implement.
Objection 2: New Future Land Use Element Policy 1.1.4.7 allows an exemption from
demonstrating a numerical population need if "the amendment enhances urban infill
redevelopment projects or supply of affordable housing." The apparent intent of the policy is to
encourage infill and affordable housing projects. However, the policy does not specify how the
enhancements will be determined to encourage infill and affordable housing. In addition, the
policy proposes to exempt residential development that encourages affordable housing and infill
redevelopment from a needs analysis rather than including these development opportunities as part
of a comprehensive needs analysis for the County.
Authority: Section 163.3177(6)(a), F.S; and Rules 9J-5.003(90); 9J-5.005(6); and 9J-5.006(2),
F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the policy to delete the exemption from the needs analysis for Future
Land Use Map amendments that propose infill development or affordable housing projects.
Alternatively, include these development opportunities as part of a comprehensive needs analysis
5
for the County.
Objection 3: New Future Land Use Policy 1.1.5.12 regarding the location of urban land use
intensities within the urban service boundary is vague. The policy uses the words "encourage"
and "discourage" regarding the location of land uses and the conservation of Agricultural lands
and defers to the Land Development Code rather than providing meaningful and predictable
guidelines in the policy for the location of land uses.
Authority: Section 163.3177(6)(a), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.003(90) and 9J-5.005(6), F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise Policy 1.1.5.12 to provide meaningful and predictable guidelines and
standards regarding the location of urban land use intensities within the defined Urban Service
Boundary as well as the preservation of Agricultural lands and suburban areas outside the Urban
Service Boundary rather than deferring to the Land Development Code.
Objection 4: New Future Land Use Element Policy I.1.11.4 regarding the Mining/Industrial
Extraction land use designation relocates language from the data and analysis section to the goals,
objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan. The new policy states that "an extractive use
designation may occur in any future land use designation- if five criteria are met. The criteria
include "the extractive operation does not adversel% affect areas determined to be environmentally
sensitive" and "the use is compatible with surrounding land uses." The policy does not provide
meaningful and predictable guidelines for determining how adverse affects on environmentally
sensitive lands will be determined or explain how compatibility with surrounding land uses will be
determined.
Allowing mining in all land use categories would have the effect of changing single -use land use
categories into mixed -use land use categories. The County has not included the percentage
distribution among the mix of uses allowed, or other objective measurement, and the density or
intensity for each use. Furthermore, mining is not an identified use in the land use definitions of
Agricultural, Conservation, Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Public Buildings and
Grounds included in Rule 9J-5.003, F.A.C. In addition, the policy would allow the
Mining/industrial Extraction land use without requiring an amendment to the comprehensive plan.
Allowing a change to the comprehensive plan in this manner is inconsistent with Section
163.3184, F.S.
Authority: Sections 163.3177(6)(a) and 163.3184, F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.003(2), (21), (23), (28).
(58), (90), (99), and (108); 9J-5.005(6); and 9J-5.006(3)(c)'_. and (4)(c) F.A.C.
Recommendation: The County should not adopt Future Land Use Element Policy 1.1.11.4.
Alternatively, the County could adopt the Mining/Industrial Extraction land use as a new land use
category, which would require amending the comprehensive plan to include this new land use on
the Future Land Use Map. The new category should provide meaningful and predictable
guidelines and standards regarding the criteria for locating a Mining/Industrial Extraction land use
designation. The category should include specific standards to be used to determine if the
Mining/Industrial Extraction land use is compatible with surrounding land uses and guidelines that
will be used to determine if the Mining/Industrial Extraction land use will cause an "adverse affect
to environmentally sensitive areas."

Objection 5: Transportation Element Policy 2.1.2.6 identifies the transportation level of service
standards for urban and non -urban roadways in St. Lucie County. However, the Policy and
accompanying table incorrectly list Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) level of service standards.
The SIS level of service standards as adopted by St. Lucie County must be consistent with those
established by the Florida Department of Transportation as presented in Table 1. In addition to the
SIS roadway facilities, the County has three other SIS facilities. These include the Intracoastal
Waterway, the Florida East Coast (FEC) Mainline Rail Corridor, and an emerging SIS facility, the
South Central Florida Express Railroad K Line that have not been identified in the comprehensive
plan.

Authority: Sections 163.3177(6)(a), (b), 0), and (10)(f); and 163.3180(10), F.S.; and Rules 9J-
5.0055(2)(c) and 9J-5.019(4)(c)I., F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) level of service standards for
SIS roadways within the County listed in Transportation Element Policy 2.1.2.6 to be consistent
with those established by the Florida Department of Transportation as presented in Table 1, above.
Include the following three non -roadway SIS facilities in the comprehensive plan: the Intracoastal
Waterway, the Florida East Coast (FEC) Mainline Rail Corridor, and the South Central Florida
Express Railroad K Line.
Objection 6: The supporting data and analysis provided by the County identifies 33 roadway
segments on 11 roadway facilities that will exceed their adopted level of service standards and
reflect a LOS F by the end of the long-range planning period, including SR 70110keechobee Road,
a SIS facility. The data is also inconsistent with the Florida Department of Transportation data that
indicates one segment of I-95, Gatlin Boulevard to St. Lucie Boulevard, is already failing, and all
segments of I-95, a SIS facility, in the County are projected to fail by the end of the planning
horizon. Additionally, with the severe decline in public revenues for transportation projects in
recent years, project funding has slowed and SIS and other projects identified as cost feasible in
Department and Metropolitan Planning Organization plans have been deferred.
While the County has included Future Land Use Element Policies 1.2.1.4, 1.2.1.5, 1.2.1.6 and
Transportation Element Policies 2.1.2.9, 2.1.2.11, 2.1.2.12, 2.1.2.13, 2.1.2.14, 2.6.1.6 and 2.6.1.7
regarding transportation solutions such as Traffic Demand Management and Mobility Fees and
funding for transportation improvements, the policies use vague language such as "explore" and
"consider" that do not provide meaningful and predictable guidelines to develop or implement the
Traffic Demand Management program or the funding programs.
Authority: Sections 163.3177(3), (6)(a), (b), and 0), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.003(90); 9J-5.005(6);
and 9J-5.016(3)(b)3., 5., and (c)1., F.A.C.
8 ___
Recommendation: Revise the data and analysis to be consistent with the Florida Department of
Transportation data. Revise the existing policies or include new policies to provide meaningful
and predictable guidelines to develop or implement a Traffic Demand Management program,
Mobility fees, and other funding programs for transportation improvements that will be needed to
achieve and maintain the County's adopted le -,el of service standards through the end of the long-
range planning period.
Objection 7: The Future Transportation Map TRN-2 that depicts the Future Number of Lanes for
2030 is not consistent with the adopted 2030 Regional Long Range Transportation Plan (RLRTP),
jointly produced by the St. Lucie Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) and the Martin
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). For example one inconsistency is that the proposed
Future Number of Lanes Map (2030) identifies Becker Road as a four lane facility with its western
extent at 1-95, while the RLRTP shows the western extent for Becker Road at Range Line Road.
Authority: Sections 163.3177(6)(a), (b), and 6), F.S; and Rule 9J-5.019(5)(b)2., F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the Future Transportation Map TRN-2 that depicts the Future Number
of Lanes for 2030 to be consistent with the adopted 2030 Regional Long Range Transportation
Plan (RLRTP).
Objection 8: The St. Lucie County International Airport Master Plan and the Port of Fort Pierce
Master Plan have each been identified as sub -elements to the Comprehensive Plan. However, the
maps identifying existing and future port facilities as required by Rule 9J-5.019(5)(a)4. and 5.,
F.A.C., and the maps identifying existing and future airport facilities including clear zones as
required by Rule 9J-5.019(5)(a)6. and 7., F.A.C., have not been incorporated into the County's
comprehensive plan and adopted as part of the future conditions map series.
Authority: Sections 163.3177(6)(a), (b). and J), F.S; and Rules 9J-5.019(2)(a)4. and 5., and
(5)(a)6. and 7., F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the Future Transportation Map series to include a map identifying port
facilities and a map identifying airport facilities including clear zones.
Objection 9: Revised Housing Element Policy 3.2.3.2 states that the County will "encourage
rehabilitation of substandard dilapidated housing to the extent feasible." The policy does not
provide meaningful and predictable guidelines the County will use to ensure that substandard
dilapidated housing will be rehabilitated.
Authority: 163.3177(6)(a) and (f), and (10), F.S.; and Rules 9J-5.003(90); 9J-5.005(6); and 9J-
5.010(3)(b) 2, 5, and (c)4, F.A.0
Recommendation: Revise Housing Element Policy 3.2.3.2 to provide meaningful and
predictable guidelines the County will undertake to ensure that substandard dilapidated housing is
rehabilitated.

Objection 10: The information related to future school capacity projects on Future Land Use
Element page 1-I I is outdated and is not consistent with the St. Lucie County School Board's
approved 2009-10 through 2013-14 District Facilities Work Plan.
authority: Sections 163.3177(3), (6)(a), (8), (10)(e), and (12), F.S.;.and Rules 9J-5.005(2) and
9J-5.025(2), F.A.C.
Recommendation: Revise the future school capacity projects in the Future Land Use Element to
be consistent with the St. Lucie County School Board's approved 2009-10 through 2013-14
District Facilities Work Plan. In addition, the school board will adopt a new District Facilities
Work Plan, which will become effective October 1, 2010. If these amendments are adopted after
the school board adopts the new District Facilities Work Plan, the County should revise the Public
School Facilities Element for consistency with the District Facilities Work Plan. If the
amendments are adopted before the school board adopts the new District Facilities Work Plan, the
County should revise the Public School Facilities Element for consistency with the District
Facilities Work Plan when the Capital Improvements Element is updated later this year. The
County should also incorporate by reference (author, title, and date) the school district's data and
analysis regarding public school facilities.
Comments
Comment 1: The current land use designation of the Future Land Use Element do not allow
Water Management District regional water management projects in all land use designations
within the County. The County should revise the plan to allow these projects in all land use
designations.
Comment 2: The County should revise Policy 1.1.9.2 in the Future Land Use Element to clarify
the term "more environmentally beneficial".
Comment 3: The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council letter dated June 24, 2010 and the
City of Port St. Lucie letter dated June 15, 2010 included the following comment: The County
Map FLU-12 portrays the Urban Service Boundary in the County. The map indicates that areas
that have recently been annexed into the City of Port St. Lucie are still within the County's Urban
Service Boundary. The County should revise the map to indicate that these areas are being
included within the City of Port St. Lucie Urban Service Boundary.
Comment 4: Policy 2.4.3.1.C. states "The following policies of St. Lucie County's
Comprehensive Plan are supportive of this scenic corridor and are hereby incorporated in this goal
by reference." The policies are not listed.
Comment 5: The County revised Polices 2.2.1.7, 2.3.1.1, 2.6.1.5, 2.6.1.8. 2.6.2.3 addressing bus
stops, bus routes, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and park and ride improvements to add the
phrase "when funding is available." The policies do not include actions that will be undertaken by
the County to obtain funding for these transportation improvements.
Comment 6: St. Lucie County is a non -Dense Urban Land Area (DULA) county, but the City of
Fort Pierce and the City of Port St. Lucie have been identified as DULAs. Local governments
10
designated as DULAs are required within two years to adopt land use and transportation strategies
to support and fund mobility within the Transportation Concurrency Exception Areas, including
alternative modes of transportation. The County should include a policy to wort: closely with the
two cities to achieve coordinated multimodal planning and projects to address extra -jurisdictional
transportation system impacts.
Comment 7: Renumbered Policy 2.1.2.6 in the Transportation Element includes a table of
minimum level of service standards for urban and non -urban roadways within the County. The
table includes level of service standards that are to apply to roadways inside a transportation
concurrency management area and constrained/backlogged facilities. As the County does not
have a transportation concurrency management area or identified any constrained/backlogged
facilities, the table should be revised to delete these level of service standards.
Comment 8: The Florida Department of Transportation is currently developing an environmental
assessment for passenger transit services along the South Florida East Coast (FEC) corridor;
which is a designated SIS facility. The County should consider enhancing transit supportive
policies in its comprehensive plan relative to this corridor, particularly the proposed
Amtrak/intermodal center in downtown Fort Pierce. The policies should address land use,
movement of people between the corridor, and destinations in the County, multimodal integration,
and the quality of transit service to be delivered.
Comment 9: Revised Objective 2.1.2. states the County shall "consider reducing acceptable level
of service standards on constrained roadways." The County should delete the objective if there are
no constrained roadways within the County and replace it with a new objective associated with the
policies. If there are constrained roadways within the County, then the County should remove the
word "acceptable" from the objective.
Comment 10: The County should revise Policy 3.1.1.1 to replace the phrase "provide for a
diverse housing stock" with the phrase "that allow a variety of housing types, affordabilities and
densities", to be consistent with Goals 2.1 and 2.2 of the Strategic Regional Policy Plan.
Comment 11: The County should not delete the language in Policy 6.1.2.2 that references
implementing stormwater improvements projects consistent with the Stormwater Management
Plan.
Comment 12: Revised Policy 6.1.8.10 should be amended to clarify that the management plan
required by applicants to address the cumulative impact of development or redevelopment on state
or federal listed species must follow the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission's
recommendations for managing listed species habitat and the management plan should provide a
mechanism to fund the management plan in perpetuity.
Comment 13: Revise new Objective 6.1.15 of the Conservation Element to include a date when
the Wetland Inventory and Evaluation Study will be completed. A new policy should be included
to say that revised policies and procedures will be proposed, if needed, based on the Wetland
Inventory and Evaluation Study.
Comment 14: New'Policy 8.1.2.5 regarding the Regional Transit Development Plan for the Port
St. Lucie Urbanized Area should be revised to include the Martin Metropolitan Planning
Organization as one of the organizations that the County will coordinate with.
Comment 15: According to the County, the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) in the Capital
Improvements Element will be updated through a separate plan amendment, once the budget has
been finalized. All public facilities projects that will be implemented in the next five years to meet
and achieve the adopted level of service standards for these public facilities must be included in
the Five -Year Schedule of Capital improvements, including projects funded by developers.
Funding sources for all projects in the Five -Year Schedule must also be identified. Executed
development agreements for projects paid for by the developer need to be included in the Five -
Year Schedule and roadway projects in the first three year of the Florida Department of
Transportation's Five -Year Work Plan should also be listed in the County's Fi%e-Year Schedule
in if the County intends to rely on these projects for concurrency.
II. Consistency with Chapter 187, F.S.
The proposed amendment is inconsistent with the following provisions of Chapter 187, F.S., the
State Comprehensive Plan:
Section 187.201(4), Housing, Policy (b)3: Increase the supply of safe, affordable, and sanitary
housing for low-income and moderate -income persons and the elderly (Objection 9);
Section 187.20](8), Coastal and Marine Resources, Policy (b)10: Give priority to water dependant
uses (Objection 8);
Section 187.20](10). Air Quality, Policies (b)l, 2, and 3: Protect air quality (Objection 1);
Section 187.201(1 1), Energy, Policies (b)1-6: Reduce per capita energy consumption; improve
energy efficiency of traffic flow; increase the efficient use of energy in design and operations of
buildings, public utility systems, and other infrastructure (Objection I).
Section 187.201(13), Mining, Policies (b)5 and 7; Protect environmentally sensitive areas and
human health (Objection 4);
Section 187.201(15), Land Use, Policies (b)l, 2, and 6: Promote state programs. investments, and
development and redevelopment activities which encourage efficient development and occur in
areas which will have the capacity to service new population and commerce (Objections 1, 2, 3, 4,
and 9);
Section 187.201(16), Urban and Downtown Revitalization, Policy (b)8: Coordinate and cooperate
with the school board regarding educational facilities (Objection 10);
Section 187.201(17), Public Facilities, Policies (b)3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9: Encourage local government
self-sufficiency in providing public facilities; create partnerships among state government, local
government, and the private sector to identify and build needed public facilities; encourage the
12
development and use of Capital Improvement plans, identify and use stale revenue resources
which are also responsive to growth for financing public facilities (Objections 5, 6, and 10).
Section 187,20](19). Transportation, Policies (b)3, 5, 8, and 9: Direct future transportation
improvements to aid in the management of growth and develop a state transportation system that
integrates highway, mass transit, and other transportation modes, and ensure that existing ports
and airports are used to the maximum extent possible (Objections 5, 6, 7, and 8).
Section 187.201(25) Plan Implementation, Policies (b) 1, 3, and 7: Ensure that local plans
implement and accurately reflect state goals and policies and address problems, issues, and
conditions that are of a particular concern in a region (All Objections).
By addressing the concerns noted in Section I., these inconsistencies with Chapter 187, Florida
Statutes, can be addressed.

Planning Division
DATE: June 1, 2010
SUBJECT: Transmittal hearing for the Evaluation and Appraisal Report -Based Amendments of the
Comprehensive Plan.
ITEM No.: VII-F
Background:
Florida Statutes require local governments to adopt an Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) once every
seven years assessing progress in implementing their Comprehensive Plan. The EAR identifies how the Plan
should be revised to better address community objectives, changing conditions and trends affecting the
community and changes in state requirements.
Counties are also required to amend their Comprehensive Plan based upon the EAR and submit EAR -based
amendments to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). St. Lucie County adopted the EAR in
October 2008 and the report was found sufficient by DCA in January 2009. Once approved it becomes
incumbent upon the local government to enact changes included within the EAR. This process allows local
governments to update their Comprehensive Plan to ensure it meets current community requirements.
As information changes over time (population, funding sources, and infrastructure needs) it may be necessary to
update data and analysis referenced in the Comprehensive Plan. As such, the County is adopting only the
Goals, Objectives, and Policies by ordinance to allow the opportunity to accommodate needed updates in data
and analysis as they occur. All revisions are contained within the draft document delivered to the Board of
County Commissioners approximately three weeks prior to today's meeting. Along with the draft Comprehensive
Plan Update, Commission members were provided a copy of a memo from Calvin Giordano & Associates, dated
May 3, 2010, that summarizes the proposed changes, a memo from Michael Brillhart identifying County adopted
economic development incentives and public comment documentation with responses from staff where
appropriate.
Previous Action:
February 8, 2010 — A public workshop was held.
February 15, 2010 — A public workshop was held.
March 8, 2010 — A public workshop was held.
March 18, 2010 — A workshop with the Planning & Zoning Commission/Local Planning Agency was held.
April 15, 2010 — Public hearing with the Planning & Zoning Commission/Local Planning Agency was held and
voted 5:2 in favor of recommending adoption of the proposed amendments to the Board of County
Commissioners.
May 25, 2010 — Board of County Commissioners informal meeting was held.
Recommendation:
Board approval to transmit the Evaluation and Appraisal Report -Based Amendments of the Comprehensive
Plan to the Department of Community Affairs.

THROUGH: Mark Satterlee, AICP, PDS Direct
FROM: Britton Wilson, Senior Long Range Planner, Planning Division A? -
DATE: June 1, 2010
SUBJECT: Staff Report - Transmittal Hearing for the Evaluation and Appraisal Report Based
Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan
ITEM NO.: VII-F
On March 18, 2010, the Planning and Zoning Commission acting as the Local Planning Agency (LPA) held a
workshop on the proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report Based Amendments to the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan. Staff presented a general overview of the proposed changes and gathered feedback
from Board members, which are summarized below. Also during this workshop was an opportunity for the
public to comment. Prior to the LPA workshop, the Planning & Development Services (PDS) Department
hosted three public workshops, which provided for the collection of valuable input from St. Lucie County
citizens. All comments and input from the public have been itemized in the attached matrix with responses
from staff where appropriate. All material has been posted on the PDS website.
On April 15, 2010, the LPA held a public hearing on the proposed amendments and voted 5:2 in favor of
recommending transmittal to the Department of Community Affairs and final adoption by the Board of County
Commissioners. During the workshop and public hearing, the LPA provided the input below.
Concerns Provided by the Planning and Zoning Commission:
• Vagueness in the language.
• Open concept of definitions, which leads to staff, board and developer interpretation to differ.
• Deletion of water bodies, river names and boundaries.
• Island and Shoreline restorations.
• Western Land sustainability.
• Sidewalks in rural areas that lead to nowhere.
• Imposing new requirements on the County (cost).
• The requirement of Community Development Districts (CDDs).
Suggestions Provided by the Planning and Zoning Commission:
• Well-defined definitions and directions.
• Provide provisions for Transfer of Development Rights (TDR).
• Create a TDR bank to be used in the Urban Service Area rather than being forced to use only in
Unincorporated Areas.
• Enhance the availability of industrial, light industry and commercial areas.
• Do not rely on construction (home building) as St. Lucie County industry.
• Flexibility in all areas of the County especially TVC areas.
• Creatively expand disaster preparation and supplies for developments and Mobile Home
Communities.

Background: Florida Statutes require local governments to adopt an
Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) once every seven years assessing
progress in implementing their Comprehensive Plan. The EAR identifies how
the Plan should be revised to better address community objectives, changing
conditions and trends affecting the community and changes in state
requirements.
Counties are also required to amend their Comprehensive Plan based upon
the EAR and submit EAR -based amendments to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs (DCA). St. Lucie County adopted the EAR in October 2008
and the report was found sufficient by DCA in January 2009. Once approved
it becomes incumbent upon the local government to enact changes included
within the EAR. This process allows local governments to update their
Comprehensive Plan to ensure it meets current community requirements.
As information changes over time (population, funding sources, infrastructure
needs, etc.), it may be necessary to update data and analysis referenced in
the Comprehensive Plan. As such, the County is adopting only the Goals,
Objectives, and Policies by ordinance to allow the opportunity to
accommodate needed updates in data and analysis as they occur. All
revisions are contained within the accompanying binder.
The EAR -based Amendments were reviewed during public workshops in
February and March 2010. Then in April 2010, the Planning and Zoning
Commission, sitting as the Local Planning Agency, reviewed the EAR -based
Amendments and recommended Board of County Commissioners transmit the
amendments to the Florida Department of Community Affairs.
If the Board approves transmittal of the amendments to DCA for formal review,
DCA will issue an Objections, Recommendations, and Comments (ORC)
Report which gives input potentially resulting in revisions to the proposed
amendments. Once revised, the Board may consider adoption of the
amendments in order to complete the EAR process.

Summary: EAR recommendations provide the basis for the EAR -based Amendments. The
following provides a summary of significant sections of the Data Inventory and Analysis and
significant changes to the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of each Comprehensive Plan
Element. Additionally, the Elements were renumbered in some cases for better organization of
the Comprehensive Plan document as a whole.
Recommendations from the EAR are shown in italics with the corresponding amendment listed.
Future Land Use Element
1) Address intensity standards for non-residential uses (a floor area ratio or a combination
of floor area (in square feet) and height or number of floors). (See table in revised Policy
1.1.1.1 (p. 1-15))
2) Incorporate new objectives, policies and data as required by 2008 legislation regarding
greenhouse gas reduction strategies and energy -efficient land use patterns. (See new
Objective 1.1.4 (p.1-23) and new Goal 1.4 and related objectives and policies (p. 1-43)).
Also Policy 1.1.5.13 was added to explore minimum densities within urban service
boundary.
3) Incorporate future revisions to the Airport Master Plan into the Comprehensive Plan.
(rhe County adopted an ordinance in 2007 to include Airport Master Plan as sub -
element of the Transportation element. No change was made for this recommendation.)

section referencing the 1984 Clear Zone Plans, which are no longer applicable to the
Airport. (See new Policy 1.1.15.7 regarding runway protection zones (p. 1-39)).
6) Determine best planning strategies for rural lands with DCA and with public participation
as part of the EAR -based amendments process. Such efforts should include initiating the
review of a transfer of development strategies and amendments to the Rural Land
Stewardship program. (See new Objective 1.4.1 (p. 1-43). Also note that the County has
initiated the Western Lands Study to determine the future of western lands. The
Comprehensive Plan will be amended upon completion of the study.)

area: wetlands, surface water, etc
Recreation and Open Space Element
1) Review and revise definitions for neighborhood, community, and regional parks, as well
as passive and active recreation. Florida's 2000 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor
Recreation Plan (SCORP) provides recommended standards and definitions. (A new
parks classification system suggested by the Parks and Recreation Department has
been added to the Data Inventory and Analysis (p. 7-1))
2) Provide updated inventory and map when Comprehensive Plan is amended. (An
updated inventory has been included in the Data Inventory and Analysis (p. 7-4). An
updated map has been included in the map series (REC-1))
3) These new classifications can be applied to an updated parks inventory, which will
provide for a more appropriate LOS measurement. (The park classifications suggested
by the Parks and Recreation Department were applied to the inventory. (p. 7-7))
4) Incorporate the County's focus on regional parks and the feasibility of future regional
parks. (See Policy 7.1.4.2 (p. 7-10))
5) Create an interagency parks and recreation facility task force to maximize partnerships.

facilities. No change was made based upon this recommendation.)
May 2010
Page 11
6) Add policies that guide the implementation and update of the November 2007 Bicycle,
Pedestrian, Greenways & Trailways Master Plan. (See new Policy 7.1.3.3. (p.7-9))
7) Continue management plans for the purchase of ESLs, and plan for sustainable
recreation opportunities. (See revised Objective 7.1.6 (p. 7-10))
Other Changes to the Recreation and Open Space Element:
8) The Regional Parks LOS in the April 2010 version was lowered to reduce the deficit in
Regional Parks and align the need with the Parks Master Plan.
9) The level of service for Resource -based Parks was adjusted to ensure the level of
service could be met through the long range planning timeframe without requiring
additional acreage.
Intergovernmental Coordination Element
1) Update Policy 10.1.10 to current joint planning issues between St. Lucie County and the
municipalities. (See revised Policies 8.1.1.10, 8.1.1.11 and new Policy 8.1.1.12 (p. 8-12))
2) Coordination with the regional policy plan. (See new Policy 8.1.1.13 (p. 8-12))
3) Provide for opportunities to engage in agreements for transfer development rights with
municipalities. (Policy 8.1.1.14 (p. 8-12))
4) Recognition of campus master plans prepared pursuant to Section 240.155, F.S., and

the amended intergovernmental coordination element per 163.3177(6)(h)2. (The County
maintains interlocal agreements with the municipalities and the St. Lucie School District.
New Policy 8.1.3.6 (p.8-15) was added to highlight the interlocal agreement on school
concurrency with the St. Lucie School District.)
6) Adopt a policy to involve the navigation and inlet districts and other appropriate state and
federal agencies and the public in providing for or identifying dredge spoil disposal sites
for the counties and municipalities in the coastal area with spoil disposal responsibilities.
(See new Objective 8.1.6 and related policies (p. 8-15))
7) Adopt a policy to resolve conflicts between a coastal local government and a public
agency seeking a dredge spoil disposal site through the Coastal Resources Interagency
Management Committee's dispute resolution process. (New Policy 8.1.6.2 was added
(p. 8-16))
Capital Improvement Element
1) Incorporate timing requirements from 163.3180 regarding public facilities. (The timing
requirements in existing Policy 9.1.4.3 (p.9-31) are more stringent and require for capital
improvements to be installed earlier in the development process than statutory
requirements. No change was made for this recommendation.)
May 2010
Page 12
2) Ensure land development code regarding Adequate Public Facilities reflects new school
concurrency requirements. (See Policy 9.1.1.14 (p. 9-20))
3) Determine a level of service standard for Policies 11.1.1.24; 11.1.1.25; and 11.1.1.26.
(See new Policy 9.1.15 (p. 9-20) regarding new Level of Service standards for Mosquito
Control, and the Airport. No level of service was set for the Port.)
4) Establishment of a LOS standard for mass transit Policy 11.1.1.13. (The County is
currently considering the Regional Transit Development Plan for the Port St. Lucie
Urbanized Area Policy which provides seven alternatives for future transit. It is
premature to set a level of service until implementation plans are in place. Policy
9.1.1.13 (p.9-20) was added to state that the County shall consider the financial
feasibility of setting a mass transit level of service by December 2014.)
5) Include a schedule to provide for the annual update of the CIE. (See new Policy 9.3.5 (p.
9-30))
6) Consider the feasibility of creating and implementing a concurrency and capacity
database. (See new Policy 9.1.4.12 (p. 9-37))
Other Changes to the Capital Improvement Element:
7) Added schools to Category A Public Facilities in Policy 9.1.2. Also, public facility
categories were consolidated into two categories: Category A for public facilities
considered in concurrency reviews and Category B for public facilities not considered in
concurrency reviews, but essential to economic development and quality of life in St.
Lucie County.
8) New Policy 9.1.1.17 was added to state that the County shall explore the financial
feasibility of preparing a Library Master Plan by December 2014 to determine County
library needs and funding sources.
9) New Policy 9.1.1.18 was added to state that the County shall maintain the provision of
Administrative and Maintenance space as the county grows. Because Administrative
and Maintenance Space is not related to concurrency reviews, the numerical level of
service was struck.
10) Policy 9.1.2.10 regarding debt policy was added to meet Florida Administrative Code
requirements for Capital Improvement Elements.
11) Original Policies 11.1.3.5. through 11.1.3.7 were relocated under Objective 9.1.4
regarding the timing of capital improvements.
Economic Development Element
1) Create a policy to provide a target ratio for jobs✓housing balance. (See new Policy
10.1.1.7 which states that the County will monitor jobs/housing balance. (p. 10-13))
2) Provide for the identification of desired sites consistent with the County's growth
management and land use strategies for each targeted industry as well as for other
May 2010
Page 13
desired contributory business users with the potential for significant employment. (Policy

DATE: June 1, 2010
SUBJECT: Transmittal hearing for the Evaluation and Appraisal Report -Based Amendments of the
Comprehensive Plan.
ITEM No.: VII-F
Backaround:
Florida Statutes require local governments to adopt an Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) once every
seven years assessing progress in implementing their Comprehensive Plan. The EAR identifies how the Plan
should be revised to better address community objectives, changing conditions and trends affecting the
community and changes in state requirements.
Counties are also required to amend their Comprehensive Plan based upon the EAR and submit EAR -based
amendments to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). St. Lucie County adopted the EAR in
October 2008 and the report was found sufficient by DCA in January 2009. Once approved it becomes
incumbent upon the local government to enact changes included within the EAR. This process allows local
governments to update their Comprehensive Plan to ensure it meets current community requirements.
As information changes over time (population, funding sources, and infrastructure needs) it may be necessary to
update data and analysis referenced in the Comprehensive Plan. As such, the County is adopting only the
Goals, Objectives, and Policies by ordinance to allow the opportunity to accommodate needed updates in data
and analysis as they occur. All revisions are contained within the draft document delivered to the Board of
County Commissioners approximately three weeks prior to today's meeting. Along with the draft Comprehensive
Plan Update, Commission members were provided a copy of a memo from Calvin Giordano & Associates, dated
May 3, 2010, that summarizes the proposed changes, a memo from Michael Brillhart identifying County adopted
economic development incentives and public comment documentation with responses from staff where
appropriate.
Previous Action:
February 8, 2010 — A public workshop was held.
February 15, 2010 — A public workshop was held.
March 8, 2010 — A public workshop was held.
March 18, 2010—A workshop with the Planning & Zoning Commission/Local Planning Agency was held.
April 15, 2010 — Public hearing with the Planning & Zoning Commission/Local Planning Agency was held and
voted 5:2 in favor of recommending adoption of the proposed amendments to the Board of County
Commissioners.
May 25, 2010 — Board of County Commissioners informal meeting was held.
Recommendation:
Board approval to transmit the Evaluation and Appraisal Report -Based Amendments of the Comprehensive
Plan to the Department of Community Affairs.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Mark Satterlee, AICP, PDS Direct
FROM: Britton Wilson, Senior Long Range Planner, Planning Division A? -
DATE: June 1, 2010
SUBJECT: Staff Report - Transmittal Hearing for the Evaluation and Appraisal Report Based
Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan
ITEM NO.: VII-F
On March 16, 2010, the Planning and Zoning Commission acting as the Local Planning Agency (LPA) held a
workshop on the proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report Based Amendments to the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan. Staff presented a general overview of the proposed changes and gathered feedback
from Board members, which are summarized below. Also during this workshop was an opportunity for the
public to comment. Prior to the LPA workshop, the Planning & Development Services (PDS) Department
hosted three public workshops, which provided for the collection of valuable input from St. Lucie County
citizens. All comments and input from the public have been itemized in the attached matrix with responses
from staff where appropriate. All material has been posted on the PDS website.
On April 15, 2010, the LPA held a public hearing on the proposed amendments and voted 5:2 in favor of
recommending transmittal to the Department of Community Affairs and final adoption by the Board of County
Commissioners. During the workshop and public hearing, the LPA provided the input below.
Concerns Provided by the Planning and Zoning Commission:
• Vagueness in the language.
• Open concept of definitions, which leads to staff, board and developer interpretation to differ.
• Deletion of water bodies, river names and boundaries.
• Island and Shoreline restorations.
• Western Land sustainability.
• Sidewalks in rural areas that lead to nowhere.
• Imposing new requirements on the County (cost).
• The requirement of Community Development Districts (CDDs).
Suggestions Provided by the Planning and Zoning Commission:
• Well-defined definitions and directions.
• Provide provisions for Transfer of Development Rights (TDR).
• Create a TDR bank to be used in the Urban Service Area rather than being forced to use only in
Unincorporated Areas.
• Enhance the availability of industrial, light industry and commercial areas.
• Do not rely on construction (home building) as St. Lucie County industry.
• Flexibility in all areas of the County especially TVC areas.
• Creatively expand disaster preparation and supplies for developments and Mobile Home
Communities.

-DATE: May 3, 2010 (Revised)
RE: Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) Based
Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Background: Florida Statutes require local governments to adopt an
Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) once every seven years assessing
progress in implementing their Comprehensive Plan. The EAR identifies how
the Plan should be revised to better address community objectives, changing
conditions and trends affecting the community and changes in state
requirements.
Counties are also required to amend their Comprehensive Plan based upon
the EAR and submit EAR -based amendments to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs (DCA). St. Lucie County adopted the EAR in October 2008
and the report was found sufficient by DCA in January 2009. Once approved
it becomes incumbent upon the local government to enact changes included
within the EAR. This process allows local governments to update their
Comprehensive Plan to ensure it meets current community requirements.
As information changes over time (population, funding sources, infrastructure
needs, etc.), it may be necessary to update data and analysis referenced in
the Comprehensive Plan. As such, the County is adopting only the Goals,
Objectives, and Policies by ordinance to allow the opportunity to
accommodate needed updates in data and analysis as they occur. All
revisions are contained within the accompanying binder.
The EAR -based Amendments were reviewed during public workshops in
February and March 2010. Then in April 2010, the Planning and Zoning
Commission, sitting as the Local Planning Agency, reviewed the EAR -based
Amendments and recommended Board of County Commissioners transmit the
amendments to the Florida Department of Community Affairs.
If the Board approves transmittal of the amendments to DCA for formal review,
DCA will issue an Objections, Recommendations, and Comments (ORC)
Report which gives input potentially resulting in revisions to the proposed
amendments. Once revised, the Board may consider adoption of the
amendments in order to complete the EAR process.

Summary: EAR recommendations provide the basis for the EAR -based Amendments. The
following provides a summary of significant sections of the Data Inventory and Analysis and
significant changes to the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of each Comprehensive Plan
Element. Additionally, the Elements were renumbered in some cases for better organization of
the Comprehensive Plan document as a whole.
Recommendations from the EAR are shown in italics with the corresponding amendment listed.
Future Land Use Element
1) Address intensity standards for non-residential uses (a floor area ratio or a combination
of floor area (in square feet) and height or number of floors). (See table in revised Policy
1.1.1.1 (p. 1-15))
2) Incorporate new objectives, policies and data as required by 2008 legislation regarding
greenhouse gas reduction strategies and energy -efficient land use patterns. (See new
Objective 1.1.4 (p.1-23) and new Goal 1.4 and related objectives and policies (p. 1-43)).
Also Policy 1.1.5.13 was added to explore minimum densities within urban service
boundary.
3) Incorporate future revisions to the Airport Master Plan into the Comprehensive Plan.
(rhe County adopted an ordinance in 2007 to include Airport Master Plan as sub -
element of the Transportation element. No change was made for this recommendation.)
4) Incorporate the recommendations of the FAR 150 noise study into the Comprehensive
Plan. (See new Policy 1.1.15.5 (p. 1-39))
5) Revise the Land Development Regulations to update the Airport Overlay District and the
section referencing the 1984 Clear Zone Plans, which are no longer applicable to the
Airport. (See new Policy 1.1.15.7 regarding runway protection zones (p. 1-39)).
6) Determine best planning strategies for rural lands with DCA and with public participation
as part of the EAR -based amendments process. Such efforts should include initiating the
review of a transfer of development strategies and amendments to the Rural Land
Stewardship program. (See new Objective 1.4.1 (p. 1-43). Also note that the County has
initiated the Western Lands Study to determine the future of western lands. The
Comprehensive Plan will be amended upon completion of the study.)
7) Explore other innovative techniques for preservation of agricultural and rural lands
including additional action steps in the Committee for a Sustainable Treasure Coast —
Final Report. (See new Policy 1.4.1.1 (p. 1-43))
8) Consider innovative partnerships between urban areas, local and regional governmental
entities, and rural landowners that take advantage of the services and benefits that rural
lands can provide to urban areas and the region as a whole. Examples might include
compensating rural landowners to support CERP, IRL South Plan, and research on
biofuels. (See new Policy 1.4.1.2 (p. 1-43))
May 2010
Page 3

creating a Community Development District.
11) Original Policy 1.1.4.3 was relocated and renumbered Policy 1.1.7.1 under Objective
1.1.7 regarding planned unit developments.
12) Policy 1.1.4.7 was added to state that Future land use map amendment applications that
increase residential development must demonstrate a numerical population need unless
the amendment enhances urban infill, redevelopment or affordable housing projects.
13) Original Policy 1.1.5.6 was struck as it duplicates policies in the Infrastructure and
Transportation Elements.
14) Original Policy 1.1.5.10 was struck. The language is expressed in existing Policy
1.1.11.2.
15) Original Policy 1.1.5.11 struck. Policy 1.1.12.4 regulates on -site sew age in all types of
development. Also removed incorrect reference to statutes.
16) Policy 1.1.9.7 was amended to allow the Land Development Code to define

6) Review adopted levels of service standards (LOS) for arterials and other classified
roadways within the County to ensure they are consistent with the needs of the County
and the ability to fund, construct and maintain these facilities. Moreover, these LOS
standards should be reviewed with the understanding that the current single -occupant
auto -oriented land use pattern upon which they are founded may be unsustainable. —
(The Data Inventory and Analysis provides extensive information of current and future
level of service standards and roadway performance. Also, see revised table in Policy
2.1.2.6 (p 2-59))

management of impoundment areas. (See new Policy 6.1.2.13 (p. 6-21))
7) Incorporate policies to establish the base -line and benchmarks for future habitat
protection goals. (Existing Objective 6.1.4 provides for no net loss of wetlands. (p. 6-22)
New Policy 6.1.8.14 provides for protection of native upland vegetative communities
(p.6-30.))
8) Continue the acquisition of properties for the preservation and restoration of the IRL
system. (See existing Objective 6.1.12 supported by revised Policy 6.12.3 (p. 6-33))
9) Continue the acquisition, conservation and preservation of native habitats. (Several
existing Objectives and policies provide continued acquisition of native habitats.)
10) Include objectives and policies to ensure continued compatibility of future land use
designations. (Policy 6.12.13 (p. 6-35))
11) Incorporate updated data on the status of threatened, endangered and species of
special concem. (Appendix 6C provides a list of endangered species.)
12) Include policy to facilitate energy conservation in existing public buildings. (See Future
Land Use Element Policy 1.4.2.1 (p. 1-43)).
Other Changes to the Conservation Element:
13) Policy 6.1.1.4 has been replaced by policy supporting and implementing alternative
transportation. (Original policy was a duplication of 6.1.1.3)
14) Policy 6.1.1.5 was replaced with greenhouse gas emissions reduction policy. (Original
policy deleted to reflect deferment to jurisdictional authority of the FDEP)
15) Policy 6.1.2.12 added policy to support FDEP monitoring of Port activities as it relates to
surface water quality.
May 2010
Page 10
16) Policy 6.1.4.4 was revised to reflect the land development regulations regarding wetland
buffers.
17) Policy 6.1.4.9 was amended to strike reference to "environmentally sensitive" due to
uncertainty of definition and replaced with high quality/high functional value which is
reflective of the adopted UMAM system to quantitatively evaluate wetlands.
18) Policy 6.1.4.10 and is now replaced with a wetland mitigation criteria policy. (Original
policy addressing surface water was relocated to 6.1.2.15)
19) Policy 6.1.4.11 was amended to reflect setbacks from wetlands instead of from open
water.
20) Policy 6.1.4.12 was revised to reflect the standardized procedure to assess the
qualitative functionality of wetlands is determined through the application of the Uniform
Mitigation Assessment Methodology (UMAM) adopted in Chapter 62-345 of the F.A.C.
21) Policy 6.1.6.6 was added policy to adopt regulations addressing BMP's for soil to meet
9J-5 requirements.
22) Objective 6.1.15 was added to state that the BOCC shall consider the Wetland
Inventory and Evaluation Study initiated by the Environmental Resources Department to
facilitate the development of policies and procedures to improve the protection of the
existing wetlands in the County.
23) In some other cases, policies were relocated under Objectives based upon the subject
area: wetlands, surface water, etc
Recreation and Open Space Element
1) Review and revise definitions for neighborhood, community, and regional parks, as well
as passive and active recreation. Florida's 2000 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor
Recreation Plan (SCORP) provides recommended standards and definitions. (A new
parks classification system suggested by the Parks and Recreation Department has
been added to the Data Inventory and Analysis (p. 7-1))
2) Provide updated inventory and map when Comprehensive Plan is amended. (An
updated inventory has been included in the Data Inventory and Analysis (p. 7-4). An
updated map has been included in the map series (REC-1))
3) These new classifications can be applied to an updated parks inventory, which will
provide for a more appropriate LOS measurement. (The park classifications suggested
by the Parks and Recreation Department were applied to the inventory. (p. 7-7))
4) Incorporate the County's focus on regional parks and the feasibility of future regional
parks. (See Policy 7.1.4.2 (p. 7-10))
5) Create an interagency parks and recreation facility task force to maximize partnerships.
(This EAR recommendation was reconsidered during the EAR -based Amendment
process. It was determined that existing coordination mechanisms are in place for park
facilities. No change was made based upon this recommendation.)
May 2010
Page 11
6) Add policies that guide the implementation and update of the November 2007 Bicycle,
Pedestrian, Greenways & Trailways Master Plan. (See new Policy 7.1.3.3. (p.7-9))
7) Continue management plans for the purchase of ESLs, and plan for sustainable
recreation opportunities. (See revised Objective 7.1.6 (p. 7-10))
Other Changes to the Recreation and Open Space Element:
8) The Regional Parks LOS in the April 2010 version was lowered to reduce the deficit in
Regional Parks and align the need with the Parks Master Plan.
9) The level of service for Resource -based Parks was adjusted to ensure the level of
service could be met through the long range planning timeframe without requiring
additional acreage.
Intergovernmental Coordination Element
1) Update Policy 10.1.10 to current joint planning issues between St. Lucie County and the
municipalities. (See revised Policies 8.1.1.10, 8.1.1.11 and new Policy 8.1.1.12 (p. 8-12))
2) Coordination with the regional policy plan. (See new Policy 8.1.1.13 (p. 8-12))
3) Provide for opportunities to engage in agreements for transfer development rights with
municipalities. (Policy 8.1.1.14 (p. 8-12))
4) Recognition of campus master plans prepared pursuant to Section 240,155, F.S., and
procedures for coordination of the previsions of the campus master development
agreement. (See new Policy 8.1.2.9 (p.8-14))
5) Include policy to ensure adoption of intedocal agreements within one year of adoption of
the amended intergovemmental coordination element per 163.3177(6)(h)2. (The County
maintains interlocal agreements with the municipalities and the St. Lucie School District.
New Policy 8.1.3.6 (p.8-15) was added to highlight the interlocal agreement on school
concurrency with the St. Lucie School District.)
6) Adopt a policy to involve the navigation and inlet districts and other appropriate state and
federal agencies and the public in providing for or identifying dredge spoil disposal sites
for the counties and municipalities in the coastal area with spoil disposal responsibilities.
(See new Objective 8.1.6 and related policies (p. 8-15))
7) Adopt a policy to resolve conflicts between a coastal local government and a public
agency seeking a dredge spoil disposal site through the Coastal Resources Interagency
Management Committee's dispute resolution process. (New Policy 8.1.6.2 was added
(p. 8-16))
Capital Improvement Element
1) Incorporate timing requirements from 163.3180 regarding public facilities. (The timing
requirements in existing Policy 9.1.4.3 (p.9-31) are more stringent and require for capital
improvements to be installed earlier in the development process than statutory
requirements. No change was made for this recommendation.)
May 2010
Page 12
2) Ensure land development code regarding Adequate Public Facilities reflects new school
concurrency requirements. (See Policy 9.1.1.14 (p. 9-20))
3) Determine a level of service standard for Policies 11.1.1.24; 11.1.1.25; and 11.1.1.26.
(See new Policy 9.1.15 (p. 9-20) regarding new Level of Service standards for Mosquito
Control, and the Airport. No level of service was set for the Port.)
4) Establishment of a LOS standard for mass transit Policy 11.1.1.13. (The County is
currently considering the Regional Transit Development Plan for the Port St. Lucie
Urbanized Area Policy which provides seven alternatives for future transit. It is
premature to set a level of service until implementation plans are in place. Policy
9.1.1.13 (p.9-20) was added to state that the County shall consider the financial
feasibility of setting a mass transit level of service by December 2014.)
5) Include a schedule to provide for the annual update of the CIE. (See new Policy 9.3.5 (p.
9-30))
6) Consider the feasibility of creating and implementing a concun'ency and capacity
database. (See new Policy 9.1.4.12 (p. 9-37))
Other Changes to the Capital Improvement Element.
7) Added schools to Category A Public Facilities in Policy 9.1.2. Also, public facility
categories were consolidated into two categories: Category A for public facilities
considered in concurrency reviews and Category B for public facilities not considered in
concurrency reviews, but essential to economic development and quality of life in St.
Lucie County.
8) New Policy 9.1.1.17 was added to state that the County shall explore the financial
feasibility of preparing a Library Master Plan by December 2014 to determine County
library needs and funding sources.
9) New Policy 9.1.1.18 was added to state that the County shall maintain the provision of
Administrative and Maintenance space as the county grows. Because Administrative
and Maintenance Space is not related to concurrency reviews, the numerical level of
service was struck.
10) Policy 9.1.2.10 regarding debt policy was added to meet Florida Administrative Code
requirements for Capital Improvement Elements.
11) Original Policies 11.1.3.5. through 11.1.3.7 were relocated under Objective 9.1.4
regarding the timing of capital improvements.
Economic Development Element
1) Create a policy to provide a target ratio for jobs/housing balance. (See new Policy
10.1.1.7 which states that the County will monitor jobs/housing balance. (p. 10-13))
2) Provide for the identification of desired sites consistent with the County's growth
management and land use strategies for each targeted industry as well as for other
May 2010
Page 13
desired contributory business users with the potential for significant employment. (Policy
10.2.1.3 amended for this recommendation p. 10-13))
3) Coordinate with local and regional job creation and retention efforts that support and
improve job skills. (See new 10.1.1.6 (p.10-13) and Policy 10.2.1.8 regarding
participation in the Research Coast marketing efforts (p. 10-14))
4) Monitor business creation including for -profit status, which cluster the business supports,
salaries, number of employees, and related higher learning programs needed to support
the business. Create timeline to establish the database(s). (See new Policy 10.2.2.4
(p.10-14))
5) Monitor existing businesses including for -profit status, which cluster the business
supports, salaries, number of employees, and related higher learning programs needed
to support the business. Create timeline to establish the database(s). (See new Policy
10.2.2.4 (p.10-14))
6) Create GIS database tracking clusters by examining the location of related businesses.
(See new Policy 10.2.2.4 (p.10-14))
7) Continue to monitor the particular incentives that were utilized for business recruitment
and track the long-term financial value of the incentives. (See Policy 10.2.2.4 (p. 10-14))
8) Continue to monitor new and existing businesses recruitment of employees from local
colleges and universities. (See Policy 10.2.2.4 (p. 10-14))
9) Promote and identify internships and training for green sector jobs. (See Policy 10.2.3.5
(p. 10-15))
10) Continue to establish grant opportunities for the sustainable re -use of agriculture land.
Find a means of achieving continued bone fide agriculture operations through innovative
land use alternatives such as TDRs and cultivation of alternative energy forms. (Policy
10.3.1.5 (p. 10-16))
11) Promote the expansion of eco-tourism by encouraging existing and new hotels to
participate in the Florida Green Lodging Program. (See new Policy 10.4.1.4 (p. 10-16))
12) Monitor the origination of international tourists, to determine in which areas marketing
should be focused. (See Policy 10.4.2.9 (p.10-17))
13) Continue to provide incentives for economic development such as expedited review of
development applications and impact fee waivers. Set timeline for the creation of an
expedited application review program and interagency point person. (Policy 10.5.1.3
amended for this recommendation. (p.10-17)
14) Promote the expansion of commercial service at the airport. Create specific timelines to
achieve the various components of this goal. (See Policy 10.6.1.5 (p.10-18))
15) Identify need to coordinate educational programs and economic development policy
with Growth Management. (This recommendation was reevaluated during the EAR -
based Amendment process. St. Lucie County Administration will coordinate economic
development.)

TO: Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Mark Satterlee, AICP, Planning and Development Services Direct
Kara Wood, Planning Manager 1W
FROM: Diana Waite, AICP, Senior Planner oA-.
DATE: October 19, 2010
SUBJECT: Ordinance 10-034 - Solar Energy Ordinance
ITEM NO. VII-D
Background:
The subject ordinance is intended to eliminate potential obstacles to the installation of solar
equipment for the individual homeowner or business, and to facilitate the development of utility
grade commercial solar facilities in the County's rural areas. The ordinance amends Chapter 2,
Definitions, Chapter 3, Zoning District regulations, Chapter 4, Research and Education Park
Overlay Zone uses, Chapter 8, Accessory Uses and provides supplemental standards in Chapter 7
to guide the location and installation of both types of uses to ensure compatibility with surrounding
land uses.
The definition of each type of solar use is:
Solar Generation Station: An energy generation facility comprised of one or more freestanding,
ground —mounted devices that capture soar energy convert it to electrical energy for use in
locations other than where it is generated. Solar generation stations typically utilize photovoltaic
solar cells, but can also be combinations of light reflectors, concentrators, and heat exchangers. A
solar generation station is also known as a solar plant, solar generation plant, solar farm, solar
power plant, or solar thermal power plant.
Solar Energy System: Any device or combination of devices or elements which rely upon direct
sunlight as an energy source, including but not limited to any substance or device which collects
sunlight for use in the heating or cooling of a structure or building, the heating or pumping of water,
or the generation of electricity. A solar energy system may be used for purposes in addition to the
collection of solar energy. These uses include, but are not limited to, serving as a structural member
of part of the roof of a building or structure and serving as a window or wall. A solar energy system
may be mounted on the building or on the ground and is not the principal use of the property.
The proposed draft ordinance accomplishments the following
• Recognizes solar panels as accessory uses in all zoning districts;
• Exempts roof -installed solar panels from the building height limitations;
Solar Energy Ordinance
October 19, 2010
Page 2
• Provides regulations to ensure solar systems are compatible with development on adjacent
property;
• Allows a Solar Generation Station as a conditional use in the AG-5 (Agricultural — 1 du/5ac),
AG-2.5 (Agricultural — 1 du/2.5ac), AG-1 (Agricultural — 1 du/ac), and the U (Utilities) Zoning
Districts;
• Allows a Solar Generation Station in the 10% Open Space area of the PTV (Planned
Towns and Villages) Zoning District;
• Amends the Research and Education Park Overlay Zone to allow Solar Generation Station
as a conditional use within Zone B; and
• Creates Land Development Code Supplemental Standards to provide specific criteria for
the proposed solar uses.
Development of the proposed solar ordinance was initiated by Commissioner Coward's request to
identify potential obstacles to the installation of solar systems in St. Lucie County and to review
other jurisdictional regulations related to the use. To address solar energy issues, a Solar Working
Group was established to identify potential obstacles in the Land Development Code or Building
Code for removal and to review ordinances from other jurisdictions regarding the installation of
solar equipment. The proposed draft ordinance is the result of the group's findings and subsequent
evaluations. After legal review, the draft ordinance was forwarded to the Development Review
Committee, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council staff and solar industry professionals
for review and comment.
The majority of comments and recommendations received are incorporated into the proposed draft
ordinance. One exception is the recommendation by Florida Power and Light representatives and
the City of Fort Pierce staff to allow Solar Generation Stations as a permitted use in all zoning
districts. Staff believes that conditional use approval is needed for this more intensive use to allow
the Board to place conditions on future approvals to ensure compatibility with the surrounding area
and address any unknown impacts that may arise in the future as the solar industry grows and
changes. The difference in the timeframe for approval should be minimal as a Major Site Plan is
required for the proposed use. A Solar Generation Station is a Targeted Industry and would be
eligible for an expedited review process.
_ The City of -Fort Pierce staff comments included concerns regarding "burdensome processes" and
a recommendation that incentives for solar uses be offered. City staff also expressed concerns that
requiring conditional use approval for Solar Generation Stations in the Research and Education
Park Overlay Zone would potentially steer away businesses interested in developing green/solar
products in the district. The proposed amendment will not affect businesses that qualify to develop
solar products under the existing overlay regulations, but will add the option to develop a
commercial solar utility as a conditional use.
At the September 16, 2010 public hearing on this matter, the St. Lucie County Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval of the proposed ordinance by a vote of 6 to 0 (Britt Reynolds,
Barry Schrader, Stefanie Morgan and Kathryn Hensley were absent). No public comments were
made regarding the ordinance.
The Solar Energy Ordinance furthers the following County directives, plans and programs:
Future Land Use Policy 1.1.11.1: St. Lucie County shall actively assist to the maximum
extent practical in the recruitment of clean high growth industrial activities.
St. Lucie County Greenprint Goal IV: Support Energy Conservation and Clean Energy
Alternative.
Solar Energy Ordinance
October 19, 2010

• In January 2008, the Board obtained the Florida Green Building Coalition's Green County
gold certification based upon the County's sustainability goals, including promotion of
renewable energy and a green economy.
• Economic Policy 10.2.1.4 supports the development of targeted industries, including the
production of clean energy. The County's Targeted Industry list includes Solar Energy.
• The Green Collar Task Force trains a workforce to install green technology and the Solar
and Energy Loan Fund assist in financing the cost of the systems.
Staff has reviewed the proposed text amendment 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 will
further the goals, objectives, and policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
Recommendation:
Board review of the Solar Energy Ordinance and approval to schedule the second required public
hearing for November 9, 2010 at 6 pm, or as soon thereafter as possible.

160 The Commission discussed why some of the changes were made to the map, and why it
161 would be moved from the Comp Plan to the Land Development Code with the assistance of
162 Mr. Harris.
163 Mr. Culverhouse asked whether specific roads were acquired yet.
164 Mr. Harris stated some of the proposed rights of way are developer driven, so the map will give
165 the County the legal right to request the right of way from the developer for impact fee credits
166 and or cash.
167 Mr. Mowery asked whether staff was comfortable with the fact that every time a change is
168 made to this map once it is in the LDC it will have to come before the Commission.
169 Mrs. DeWitt stated the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are a more onerous process
170 than the amendments to the Code.
171 Mr. Harris stated in order to give us the legal right to exact the right of way from the developer;
172 it needs to have Board and Local Planning Agency review.
173 Ms. Young stated that is correct, by having it be formally adopted, it gives us protection, and it
174 makes it easier for developers to look at what is around their property.

FROM: Diana Waite, AICP, Senior Planner kk-)
Planning Division
DATE: September 16, 2010
SUBJECT: Draft Ordinance 10-034 —Solar Energy Ordinance
ITEM NO. III-D
The purpose of this ordinance is to provide clear standards for the development and use of solar
energy in the County's Land Development Code (LDC) through revisions of Chapters 2, 3, 4, 7 and
8. It is further the intent of the proposed ordinance to encourage the generation and use of renewable
energy while providing the minimum regulations necessary to ensure compatibility with adjacent land
uses. The ordinance is also intended to be consistent with Florida Statutes Section 163.04, which
prohibits the adoption of an ordinance that "prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting the installation of
solar collectors, clotheslines, or other energy devices based on renewable resources."
The proposed draft ordin nc accomplishes the following_
• Recognizes solar panels as accessory uses in all zoning districts;
• Exempts roof -installed solar panels from the building height limitations;
• Provides regulations to ensure solar systems are compatible with development on adjacent
property;
• Allows a Solar Generation Station as a conditional use in the AG-5 (Agricultural — 1 du/5ac),
AG-2.5 (Agricultural — 1 du/2.5ac), AG-1 (Agricultural — 1 du/ac), and the U (Utilities) Zoning
Districts;
• Allows a Solar Generation Station in the 10% Open Space area of the PTV (Planned Towns
and Villages) Zoning District;
• Amends the Research and Education Park Overlay Zone to allow Solar Generation Station as
a conditional use within Zone B; and
• Creates Land Development Code Supplemental Standards to provide specific criteria for the
proposed solar uses.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Development of the proposed solar ordinance was initiated by Commissioner Coward's request to
identify potential obstacles to the installation of solar energy systems in St. Lucie County and to
review other jurisdictional regulations related to the use. To address solar energy issues, a Solar
Solar Energy
September 16, 2010
Page 2
Working Group was established to identify potential obstacles in the Land Development Code or
Building Code for removal and to review ordinances from other jurisdictions regarding the installation
of solar equipment. The proposed draft ordinance is the result of the group's findings and subsequent
evaluations. After legal review, a draft solar ordinance was forwarded to the Development Review
Committee, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council staff and solar industry professionals for
review and comment. The majority of recommendations received were incorporated into the
proposed draft ordinance. One exception is the request by Florida Power and Light to allow Solar
Generation Stations as a permitted use, rather than a conditional use, as proposed by staff. It is
staff's assessment that these solar powered electric generation plants should be a conditional use so
that potential impacts can continually be addressed on a case -by case basis as the technology of
these facilities continues to develop. The proposed Solar Generation Station is on the County's
Targeted Industries List as "Solar Energy" and would be eligible for the County's expedited
development review procedures. The difference in the timeframe for approval with or without the
concurrent Conditional Use Permit should be minimal as a Major Site Plan is required for the
proposed use.
SUMMARY:
The proposed ordinance generally addresses two
for the on -site power needs of a single user or
Generation Stations, or commercial solar facilities.
Solar Energy System
uses: Solar Energy Systems intended to provide
development, including rooftop solar, and Solar
A Solar Energy System provides energy to on -site buildings that are generally roof mounted or
incorporated into the building structure
The proposed LDC amendments related to this accessory use include:
1. Add the definition of Solar Energy System to Chapter 2:
Srt the installation_of rooftop installed solar panels by exempting them from the zoning
district height requirements as defined in Chapter 2.
3. Add "Solar Energy System" to the list of accessory uses in all zoning districts, subject to a new
supplemental standard section, LDC Section 7.10.28. This will address panels to be installed on
the roof, ground or pole mounted.
4. Add "Solar Energy System" to the list of accessory uses in Chapter 8, Accessory and Temporary
Structures and Uses. A Solar Energy System may only be installed as an accessory to the
permitted use on the property. A property owner that has not established a principal use of the
property cannot install a Solar Energy System.
Solar Generation Station
A Solar Generation Station, also known as a solar plant, solar generation plant, solar farm, solar
power plant, or thermal power plant, is a commercial power generation facility that utilizes solar
energy to produce and distribute electricity to off -site users. The facility is proposed as a conditional
use subject to minimal supplemental criteria in the AG-2.5, AG-5, AG-1 and U (Utilities) Zoning
Districts and as Open Space in the PTV Zoning District. The proposed LDC amendments related to
this conditional use include:
Solar Energy
September 16, 2010
Page 3
1. Add the definition of Solar Generation Station to Chapter 2:
2. Add "Solar Generation Station" to the list of conditional uses in the AG-2.5, AG-5, AG-1 and U
(Utilities) Zoning Districts, subject to supplemental standards proposed for incorporation into LDC
Section 7.10.28.
A Conditional Use Permit is recommended to ensure full staff and governing body review is
provided to identify and address any potential negative impacts. Approval through the conditional
use process will allow the surrounding residents to be notified of the proposed solar generation
station. Although it is expected this use would be located close to existing transmission lines, a
new station could mean new transmission lines as well.
3. Add "Solar Generation Station" to the 10% Open Space option in the PTV Zoning District. Solar
energy is a designated Targeted Industry and as such may currently be located in the PTV
Zoning District as Open Space in lieu of Countryside. The proposed amendment would specify
"Solar Generation Station" as a separate Open Space option.
4. Revise the Research and Education Park Overlay Zone to allow "Solar Generation Station" as a
conditional use in Zone B of the park, subject to supplemental standards proposed for
incorporation into LDC Section 7.10.28. All of Zone B is within an AG-2.5 Zoning District.
5. Add supplemental standards for these commercial facilities, including:
• Require the submittal of a Major Site Plan application concurrent with the required application
for a Conditional Use Permit.
• Restrict access to solar stations by fencing or/and walls with details to be provided for review
and approval as part of the required site plan.
• Restrict placement of solar generation stations from wetlands and other environmentally
sensitive in compliance with the provisions of the County's Comprehensive Plan and Land
Development Code.
• Require a 50-foot minimum setback from any lot line under separate ownership in the AG-2.5
and AG-5 Zoning Districts.
• _ The maximum lot coverage by solar ground or pole mounted panels and associated support
buildings and equipment shall be shown on the site plan and determined -Ty the --Board of
County Commissioners.
STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.06.03,
ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
In reviewing this application for the proposed amendment, the Board of County Commissioners shall
consider and make the following determinations:
1. Whether the proposed rezoning is in conflict with any applicable portions of the St. Lucie
County Land Development Code;
The proposed text amendment will not be in conflict with the St. Lucie County Land Development Code
(LDC) and has met the standards of review in Section 11.06.03. The proposed text amendment
recognizes and provides criteria to guide the installation of solar energy systems on individual homes
and businesses and allows for the development of commercial solar generation facilities within western
St. Lucie County, the Town, Villages and Countryside (TVC) and the Research and Education Park.
Solar Energy
September 16, 2010
Page 4
Within the AG-5, AG-2.5, AG-1 and U Zoning Districts Zone a solar generation station is proposed as a
conditional use. The county contains 190,010 acres within the AG-2.5 and AG-5 Zoning Districts, with
617 parcels over 50 acres in size. Within the AG-1 Zoning, there are 20,491 acres zoning, with 87
parcels over 50 acres in size. The majority of AG-1 Zoning is located within the TVC boundary.
Within the TVC boundary, AG-1 Zoning is applied to the majority of the lands. As proposed, the solar
ordinance would allow solar generation stations to be located within this zoning district as a conditional
use. Within new Planned Towns and Villages, a solar generation station currently be developed on up to
10% of the countryside under the provision for Targeted Industries. The proposed ordinance will specify
the Solar Generation Station as a specific option.
2. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan;
The proposed text amendment is consistent with all elements of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive
Plan and will further the following existing and proposed (transmitted EAR amendments) goals,
objectives and policies:
• Future Land Use Policy 1.4.2.4 — Review the Land Development Code and consider appropriate
standards for use of alternate, renewable sources of energy including the use of solar panels except
in environmentally sensitive areas by 2012. An Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) based
amendment, final adoption pending.
• Future Land Use Policy 1.1.11.1: St. Lucie County shall actively assist to the maximum extent
practical in the recruitment of clean high growth industrial activities.
• Economic Policy 10.2.1.4, Supports the development of targeted industries, including the production
of clean energy. The County's Targeted Industry list includes Solar Energy. An EAR based
amendment policy, final adoption pending.
3. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment is inconsistent with the existing
and proposed land uses;
The proposed text amendment would result in development that is consistent with the existing and
proposed land uses. Given that the majority of unincorporated St. Lucie County is zoned AG-5 or AG-
2.5, staff recommends that these facilities be allowed as a conditional use. The conditional use process
will provide notification to the surrounding property owners and allow for the addition of any conditions of
approval the Board may wish to add. Compatibility with existing and proposed land uses is also
addressed by the recommended supplemental standards to be incorporated into LDC Section 7.10.28.
4. Whether there have been changed conditions that require an amendment;
Efforts underway at the national and state level to reduce greenhouse gas emission have resulted in the
setting of goals, adoption of regulations, and promotion of grants and incentives to require that local
governments implement strategies and practices that reduce the use of fossil fuels and provide
alternative energy sources, such as solar power. On July 1, 2008, House Bill 697 was adopted that
requires inclusion of energy efficient land use patterns, greenhouse gas reduction strategies and energy
conservation in future land use elements of local comprehensive plans. This requirement is being
addressed in the County's recent transmittal of the comprehensive plan amendments and will be
furthered by inclusion of the proposed solar energy provisions into the land development code.
5. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in demands on
public facilities, and whether or to the extent to which the proposed amendment would exceed
the capacity of such public facilities, including but not limited to transportation facilities, sewage
Solar Energy
September 16, 2010
Page 5
facilities, water supply, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, and emergency
medical facilities;
The proposed amendment does not approve any specific development. Future Solar Generation
Stations are not expected to result in excess demands on public facilities. Once installed the facilities
are expected to have minimal public facility demands. Prior to issuance of any final development order
for the solar operation, the applicant must obtain a Certificate of Capacity to demonstrate sufficient
capacity in services is available to serve the property.
Solar Energy Systems are accessory uses that would not generate new trips or demands on public
facilities.
6. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant
adverse impacts on the natural environment;
The proposed text amendment would not result in adverse impacts on the natural environment. The
proposed amendment will facilitate the development and utilization of solar energy to reduce future
emissions from fossil fuels and protect the County's natural environment. All future solar developments
and installations will be subject to the County's existing Resource Protection Standards.
7. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in an orderly and
logical development pattern specifically identifying any negative affects of such patterns;
The proposed text amendment will result in an orderly and logical development pattern, in part through
the provision of supplemental standards to ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses.
8. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public interest, and is in
harmony with the purpose and intent of this Code;
The proposed amendment is not in conflict with the public interest and is in harmony with the purpose
and intent of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code.
COMMENTS
The proposed solar energy ordinance is a continuation of the County's efforts to develop sustainably.
Specifically, the proposed ordinance will further the St. Lucie County Greenprint Goal IV: Support
Energy Conservation and Clean Energy Alternatives. This goal was adopted as part of the policies and
procedures put in place to obtain the Florida Green Building Coalition's Green County gold certification
based upon the County's sustainability goals to promote renewable energy and a green economy.
Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Commission forward a recommendation that the Board of
County Commissioners approve this petition.

Solar Generation Station: An energy generation facility comprised of one or more
freestanding ground mounted devices that capture solar energy and convert it to
electrical energy for use in locations other than where it is generated. Solar generation
stations typically utilize photovoltaic solar cells but can also be combinations of light
reflectors concentrators and heat exchangers A solar generation station is also known
as a solar plant solar generation plant solar farm solar power plant or solar thermal
power plant.
Solar Energy System: Any device or combination of devices or elements which rely
upon direct sunlight as an energv source including but not limited to any substance or
device which collects sunlight for use in the heating or cooling of a structure or building,
the heating or pumping of water, or the generation of electricity. A solar energy system
may be used for purposes in addition to the collection of solar energy. These uses
include but are not limited to serving as a structural member of part of the roof of a
building or structure and serving as a window or wall. A solar energv system may be
mounted on the building or on the ground and is not the principal use of the property.
