STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.01.02
ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
In reviewing this application for a variance from the St. Lucie County Land Development
Code, the Board of Adjustment shall consider and make the following determinations:
1. The variance requested arises from conditions that are unique and peculiar to the
land, structures, and buildings involved; that the particular physical surroundings,
the shape, or topographical condition of the specific property involved would
result in unnecessary hardship for the owner, lessee, or occupant, as
distinguished from a more inconvenience, if the Provisions of Chapter 7, are
literally enforced; that they are conditions that are not ordinarily found in the
same Zoning District, and the conditions are created by the regulations of Chapter
7, of this Code, and not by an action or actions of the property owner or the
applicant.
The subject property is located at 6501 South Ocean Drive, which is also known as the
St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant site. The applicant, Florida Power and Light, is proposing
to construct a 7,000 square foot warehouse building to consolidate the storage of
materials by utilizing a specific stackable storage system. In order to manipulate the
storage system, a crane is installed within the building and its vertical clearance
requirements would require the structure to be built five and one-half (5.5) feet above the
forty (40) foot maximum height requirement in the Utilities (U) zoning district. Therefore,
the applicant is requesting a 5.5 foot height variance in order to be allowed to build their
building as designed. The Land Development Code (LDC) also limits height variances
to 120% of allowed height, which in this instance is 48 feet, therefore, the requested
variance would be within the limits of the LDC.
The request is not the direct result of conditions that are unique and peculiar to the land,
involved, but is with regard to the structures, and buildings. The buildings on the St.
Lucie Power Plant site are unique in the County. A large number of the existing
structures are substantially higher than the code maximum of 40 feet; this is the result of
the unique requirements of a nuclear power plant and the fact that the plant was built
under different regulations in the 1970's and 80's. The proposed warehouse will not be
as tall as a number of buildings on the site, nor will it adversely impact any structures or
views, and it can be clearly stated that these are conditions that would not be found in
the same Zoning District anywhere else in the County.
2. The granting of the variance will not impair or injure other property or
improvements in the neighborhood in which the subject property is located, nor
impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent public streets, increase the
danger of fire, endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair
property values within the neighborhood.
The granting of the requested variance is not expected to impair or injure other property
or improvements in the neighborhood, nor is it expected to impair an adequate supply of
light or air to adjacent public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public

File No.: BA 320104046
safety or diminish property values. The nearest non-FPL owned property to this
proposed facility if approximately 1.3 miles to the south/southwest.
3. The variance requested is the minimum variance that will make possible the
reasonable use of the land, building, or structures.
Operation of a Nuclear Power Plant requires storage of materials using systems
regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The size and weight of the required
systems mandate the use of an overhead crane to move the storage system. The
clearance required for the safe operation of the overhead crane and storage units
dictates the interior building height. The 5.5 foot variance is the minimum variance that
will allow the proposed structure to accommodate the storage units and crane.
4. The variance desired will not be opposed to the general spirit and intent of this
Code or the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
The requested variance will not conflict with the general spirit and intent of the St. Lucie
County Land Development Code or the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan.
Recommendation
The variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land,
structure or building, and will not have adverse impacts to other property or improvements in the
neighborhood. Furthermore, staff has reviewed this petition and determined that it conforms to
a strict interpretation of the standards of review as set forth in Section 10.01.02, St. Lucie
County Land Development Code and is not in conflict with the goals, objectives, and policies of
the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. Staff is, therefore, recommending approval of the
requested variance based on the circumstances above.
Please contact this office if you have any questions on this matter.

STANDARDS OF REVIEW AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.01.02,
ST. LUCIE COUNTY LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
In reviewing this application for a Variance to the St. Luci o Land
Development Code, the Board of Adjustment shall consider and following
determinations:
1. The variance requested arises from conditions tha re ue and peculiar
to the land, structures, and buildings involved; he particular physical
surroundings, the shape, or topographical ' ion of the specific
property involved would result in unnecesa. ardship for the owner,
lessee, or occupant, as distinguished frrioYv
ere inconvenience, if the
Provisions of Section 7.04.01(A), ar �t enforced; that they are
conditions that are not ordinarily foun a same Zoning District, and the
conditions are created by the reQlatid s of Section 7.04.01(A), of this
Code, and not by an action ns of the property owner or the
applicant. �"'
The subject property is Io op Lot B, Block 13, Unit 1, of the Queen's Cove
Subdivision and zo4,,,kRR esidential, Single Family — 4 du/ac). The Neills
would like to constrfamily home that would have a floor area of 3,392
square feet. The soperty is 10,014 square feet and the zoning allows a
maximum lot co e3,004 square feet by buildings (30 percent). The
proposed ho have a lot coverage by buildings of 33.7 percent, thereby
exceeding percent (388 square feet) the maximum lot coverage permitted.
Th&1opent
ught arises from conditions that may be unique, but do not
nefy as a hardship as defined in the St. Lucie County Land
de. The need for the requested variance is created by the
i1p of the Neills to construct a home on their single family lot larger than
Qe itted in the RS-4 Zoning District.
Z. The granting of the variance will not impair or injure other property or
improvements in the neighborhood in which the subject property is
located, nor impair an adequate supply of light or air to adjacent public
streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, or
substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
