Submitted By: Sofia Trail, Planner I, Planning and Zoning Department
Executive Summary: This application is a city-initiated text amendment to the City of Port St. Lucie Land Use Conversion Manual (Appendix B) of the Zoning Code (Chapter 158) of the City of Port St. Lucie Code of Ordinances. This application will amend the conversion manual to allow for demonstration of unified control of a project area to serve as adequate legal documentation to ensure that land that is being rezoned in the conversion area is developed as a single property for the purposes of meeting building, zoning, and land development requirements. This amendment will also include clarifying statements throughout various sections of the conversion manual and update the table for the Becker Road Corridor Conversion Area.
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move to recommend the City Council approve the amendment as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Department.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Board amend the recommendation and recommend approval of the text amendment to the City Council as amended.
2. Move that the Board recommend denial and provide staff direction.
Background: The Conversion Manual currently requires a recorded unity of title for all land included within site plans for development of multi-family or non-residential uses within the land use conversion areas. This amendment will allow unified control as adequate legal documentation in lieu of unity of title. Unified Ownership through a unity of title means that properties are owned by the same person or entity. Unity of control is a legal agreement between different property owners that allows separate parcels to be treated as one for building, zoning, and development regulations. With unity of control, the owners agree to develop the properties together as a single, unified project, even though they’re owned and often financed separately.
