Strategic Plan Link: The City’s Mission to plan for smart and balanced growth.
Executive Summary (General Business): An application to replat a portion of Tract L, Port St. Lucie Section 33 in association with the approved site plan for a Wawa convenience store and fuel service station at the southeast corner of the intersection of SW Port St. Lucie Boulevard and SW Becker Road. The subject property is 3.80 acres. A minor site plan was approved for the Wawa facility on March 22, 2023 by the Site Plan Review Committee. The Wawa facility will be located on proposed Parcel 1 (1.91± acres). The City has not received any applications for the development of proposed Parcel 2 (1.96± acres) at this time. The two parcels will share driveway access via a twenty-six (26) foot wide cross access easement that runs along both parcels and provides access to a driveway on SW Becker Road and a driveway on SW Port St. Lucie Boulevard.
Presentation Information: Staff may provide a short presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve the subdivision plat as recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve the subdivision plat
2. Move that the Council not approve the subdivision plat and provide staff direction.
Background: The Site Plan Review Committee recommended approval of the preliminary final subdivision plat at the May 24, 2023 Site Plan Review Committee meeting.
Issues/Analysis: A special exception use for the convenience store and fuel service station was approved by the City Council on February 27, 2023 (Res. 23-R18). A variance to the Citywide Design Standards for the location of the driveway on SW Becker Road was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board on August 2, 2022 (PZB Order 22-14).
The subject property is a portion of Tract L, Port St. Lucie Section 33 that was created via a series of metes and bounds lot splits of the parent parcel, Tract L, Port St. Lucie Section 33, by the General Development Corporation (GDC). The southern portion of the parcel is owned by the City of Port St. Lucie and developed as a stormwater pond. The subdivision of property via a lot split is not consistent with City Code. Since the applicant is not responsible for the lot split, the City is proceeding with the replat of the property for just the northern portion of Tract L, Port St. Lucie Section 33. There is a provision in the City Code that allows the City Council to grant exceptions to the requirements of the Subdivision Code.
Financial Information: N/A
Special Consideration: N/A
Location of Project: The subject property is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of SW Port St. Lucie Blvd and SW Becker Rd.
