body
Submitted By: Ivan Betancourt, Planner I, Planning and Zoning Department
Executive Summary: The applicant, Pamela Misiano, on behalf of Liana Marquis, the property owner, has requested a variance of 10,000 square feet to the required lot area and a variance of 20 feet to the required lot width to allow the property to be rezoned to Service Commercial (CS). The lot is 10,000 square feet in size and 80 feet in width. Per Section 158.126 (F) of the City’s Zoning Code, all properties located within the Service Commercial (CS) Zoning District must maintain a minimum lot size of twenty thousand (20,000) square feet and a minimum width of one hundred (100) feet.
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a presentation
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Board review the variance request and make a motion to approve, approve with conditions, or deny.
Background: On March 25, 2024, a variance (P23-239) was granted by the City Council to the City of Port St. Lucie Conversional Manual requirements for Area 24, to allow the rezoning of Lots 18 and 19 from the RS-2 zoning district to the Warehouse Industrial (WI) zoning district. This resulted in the isolation of Lot 20, so that it could not be combined with another lot to be rezoned. An application (P25-147) to rezone the subject property from Single-Family Residential (RS-2) to Service Commercial (CS) was submitted concurrently with this variance application.
Issues/Analysis: The Planning and Zoning Board may authorize a variance from the provisions of the Zoning Code as will not be contrary to the public interest when, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions will result in unnecessary and undue hardship. To authorize a variance, the Planning and Zoning Board should consider the criteria listed under Section 158.295 (B) (1) through (7) of the Zoning Code. See the responses to the criteria in the attached staff report.
