Strategic Plan Link: The City’s Mission to plan for smart and balanced growth.
Executive Summary (General Business): The owner, Ekonomy Self Storage Inc., is requesting a variance to the requirements of Conversion Area Number 23 of the Land Use Conversion Manual to allow a 10,000 square foot lot with 80 feet of frontage to be rezoned to the Service Commercial (CS) Zoning District. Section III of the Land Use Conversion Manual requires a minimum frontage of 180 feet and a minimum of 20,000 square feet of land area for any site within the conversion area.
The background of the conversion areas were designed to promote the assembly of the vested General Development Corporation (GDC) single-family lots, encourage well-designed non-residential and multi-family development, and improve traffic circulation by restricting curb cuts along major roadways. The Conversion Manual sets up a process to allow for the assemblage of property in order to convert single-family zoned lots to uses identified by the future land use designations in the Comprehensive Plan.
There are thirty-eight (38) Conversion Area subdistricts. The subdistricts are located on major thoroughfares and branch out from there to a specified depth. The major thoroughfares include Port St. Lucie Boulevard (including the intersection of Tulip Boulevard), Gatlin Boulevard (including the intersection of Savona Boulevard), Becker Road, Prima Vista Boulevard, Bayshore Boulevard, Paar Drive (including the intersection of Savona Boulevard), St. James Drive and Lennard Road.
