Executive Summary (General Business): The City has received an application from Lucido and Associates on behalf of McCarty Road, LLC, property owner, to amend the annexation agreement between McCarty Road, LLC, and the City of Port St. Lucie. The McCarty Road property is approximately 72 acres in size. The property was annexed into the City in 2006 (OR 05-152). An annexation agreement was approved that provided for the infrastructure and transportation improvements needed to serve the property. A future land use amendment was approved in 2006 that changed the land use from St. Lucie Agriculture 2.5 to City of Port St. Lucie Medium Density Residential (RM).
McCarty Road, LLC, has applied to amend the McCarty Road PUD (P24-179). The proposed PUD amendment changes the project name to the Meadows PUD, revises the permitted uses from townhomes to single-family dwelling units, reduces the number of units from 530 multifamily units to 321 single family units, and updates required transportation and infrastructure improvements as well as other changes Primary access to the property was moved from McCarty Road to E/W 5 along the project’s southern boundary. As a result of the new proposal, both the annexation agreement and ordinance adopting the comprehensive plan future land use map amendment must be revised. An application to amend the future land use ordinance has been submitted and is scheduled for the May 26, 2026 City Council meeting (P26-058).
