Background: Southern Grove is an approved Development of Regional Impact (DRI) that is located west of Interstate 95, south of Tradition Parkway, north of the C-23 canal and approximately 3,606 acres in size. In June 2018, the City of Port St. Lucie acquired approximately 1,183 acres of land within the Southern Grove DRI. The land was deeded to and is managed by the Port St. Lucie Governmental Finance Corporation (GFC). In October 2019, the City engaged the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) to create an updated land development and infrastructure master plan for the city owned land in Southern Grove including a financial and market analysis, review of competitive markets, and strategies for property disposition. Based on a review of market conditions, the Southern Grove Master Plan recommended changes to the development program for Southern Grove including a re-organization of the land use subdistricts, modifications to the DRI development entitlements, and modifications to infrastructure improvements to produce a more economically viable development program for Southern Grove.
