Executive Summary (General Business): An application for the 11th Amendment to the Southern Grove DRI Development Order to modify Map H, the master development plan, and Map H-2, Tradition Trail and multi-use paths plan. No other changes are proposed to the DRI development order conditions. The applicants are the City of Port St. Lucie, the Port St. Lucie Governmental Finance Corporation (GFC) and Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC.
The proposed amendment will amend Map H, the master development plan, and Map H-2, the Tradition Trail/multi-purpose pathways map, for the Southern Grove DRI. The proposed changes to Map H revise the land use sub-districts for approximately 528 acres of land located on the east side of SW Village Parkway and between E/W 2 (Destination Way) and SW Hegener Drive and and provide for the realignment of Marshall Parkway, the extension of E/W2 Roadway (Destination Way) east of SW Village Parkway, the realignment of Tradition Trail, and other minor changes.

Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and adopt the resolution.
2. Move that the Council not adopt the resolution and provide staff direction.
Background: The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the proposed amendment at the August 6, 2024 Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
