Submitted By: Bethany Grubbs, AICP, Senior Planner/Public Art Program
Executive Summary: The City of Port St. Lucie, as the applicant and property owner, is requesting a rezoning of four parcels legally described as Port St. Lucie Section 25, Block 325, Lots 7 through 10. The subject property is currently zoned Limited Mixed Use (LMD). The proposed rezoning to the Utility (U) Zoning District is consistent with the intended future land use and will support the redevelopment of the City’s Northport Utility Site. The Utility (U) district permits publicly owned or operated buildings and uses, aligning with the City’s plans for utility infrastructure development.
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Board recommend approval of the rezoning.
Alternate Recommendation:
1. Move that the Board recommend denial of the future land use map amendment.
Background: In early 2025, the city acquired subject parcels to support the planned expansion of the Northport Utility Site. The Utility Systems Department (USD) has developed a Master Plan for the Northport Utility Site, which includes the relocation of the Utility Warehouse operations from the Prineville facility to this location. The subject parcels will support implementation of the Master Plan by expanding the site footprint and establishing a buffer around the utility facility, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and compatibility with adjacent land uses.
Issues/Analysis: This rezoning request facilitates the implementation of the Northport Utility Site Master Plan and enhances compatibility with adjacent land uses.
Special Consideration: There is a concurrent application to change the land use designation the land use designation Residential, Office & Institutional (ROI) to Utility (U).
Location of Project: The properties are generally located west of the intersection of NE Airoso Boulevard and NE St. James Drive
