MEMORANDUM FROM COUNTY DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR
SUBJECT: REZONING PUBLIC HEARINGS
COMMENTS ON PROPOSED ZONING RESOLUTION AMENDMENTS
Existing development patterns on the mainland and on the coastal
islands are scattered and unrelated; except in rare cases, there is no
functional land structure in St. Lucie County. In addition, a lack of
sufficient density options under the existing xoning pattern works to
preclude desirable types of medium density development and works hard-
ships on those currently requesting zoning changes to allow medium
density development. In other words, the zoning pattern does not permit
a sufficient range of densities for a wide choice of residential styles.
The current planning program for St. Lucie County seeks to encourage a
balanced mix of density options. The proposed restructuring of the
existing R-4 zoning option will permit a wider range of density options.
Judicial use of the new medium density multi-family residential zoning
classifications will provide reasonable variations of densities in a
sumergtVen choice.area in order to avoid monotony and increase the ranges of con-
The reco~nended approach for establishing medium density residential
zones is to subdivide the existing R-4 residential district. The schedule
of district regulations now in use for the existing R-4 zoning district
rema. i?s unchanged and is applicable to the 5 categories of multi-family
est~ential zoning. The setting of maximum allowable densities for the
categories of multi-family residential zoning was approached on a
basis of approximate determinations of holding capacit ( in te~
dwelling unit°) for random locations +~ ..... ~ ...... Y ~ _ms of
ruination o£ holding capacitu or moa~ ~'~ vne coun~. A deter-
subjective analysis of physical facilities, such as roads, water, sewer,
~ ~ ~ aenstvy was arr~ed at through
schools, fire protection, soils, etc.
It should be noted, that ~s the county formalizes an~implements
programs of facilities construction, e.g., sewers, roads, etc., holding
capacities of given geographic areas will likely increase. This future
tncrease in holding capacities will not invalidate the concept of a
wider range of choice in terms of zoning options. The maximum allow-
able density of R-4A is the upper limit of what is considered low
density development and would permit clustering of dwelling units in a
low density residential area. The maximum densities for..R-4B and R-4C
will permit clustering of dwelling units for medium density effect and
will eliminate procedural and planning problems associated with the
curre~t lack of medium density zoning. The maximum density of R-4E
is equal to that which currently exists in the R-4 zoning district and is
intended to allow relatively high density residential development in
areas of the county which have or are programmed to have services by
necessary physical facilities to support such a high density of
development.
Two additional matters should be considered at the above referenced
public hearing in connection with establishment of additional multi-
family zoning districts.
Paragraphl ? of the proposed amendments should be..further amended'
to establish maximum, densities in P-a, B-l, and B-2 of 5 d~elting units
per acre. As you know, multi-family residences are currently permitted
in these $ zones. Since these 3 zones are primarily law intensity non-
residential uses and in most cases would have little adverse effect on
adjacent residential uses, mul~i-feonily residential'use permitted in
these areas should also be law intensity. Consequently, the recor~ended
maximum density change to 5 dwelling units per acre wOuld b~ consistent
with multi-family uses which would be allawed in the new R-4A zoning
district. Changing the maximum permitted dwelling unit density in
B-l, a~B-2 would thus be consistent with the intent of the creation of
new~lti-fe~aily zoning districts ~to make development densities consistent
with the existing facilities) and would preclude a circumvention of the
intent of the new.~lti-family residential zoning &istricts by purely
speculative rezoning to non-residential uses to gain the advantage of
maximum residential density.
The other change reco~nendedby County staff ~ te eliminate height
requirements for residential uses in the P-l, B-l, .~nd B-2 zones. Elimin-
ation of existing height restrictions for residential uses in these 3
zones would make zonin~ requirements for residenti~ uses totally con-
sistent with z~ning requirements for residential users in primary residen-
tial zones. Sometime ago, when height requirement for multi-family
residential uses were removed in residential zening districts, height
requirements, through an oversight were net removed for residential
uses ~n non-residential districts.
