Submitted By: Bianca Lee, Planner II
Strategic Plan Link: The City’s Mission to plan for smart and balanced growth.
Executive Summary (General Business): Section 158.244 of the Port St. Lucie, Code of Ordinances, states that a site plan shall terminate three (3) years from approval by the City Council. The Las Palmas Town Homes site plan (P17-242) was approved by the City Council on June 25, 2018, with an expiration date of June 25, 2021. The City Council previously granted a two (2) year extension to June 25, 2023. Each extension is limited to a maximum period of two (2) years and shall not exceed four (4) years in total. The applicant is requesting an additional two (2) year extension, which would allow the approved Las Palmas Town Homes site plan to remain valid by granting a new expiration date of June 25, 2025. This expiration date will be the second and final site plan extension the City Council may grant per Section 158.245.

The request is acted upon by the City Council. The extension is for a period of two years. An extension request letter was formally submitted to the Planning and Zoning Department on April 27, 2023, and the approved site plan is due to expire on June 25, 2023.
