Submitted By: Francis Forman, Planner III
Executive Summary: The City has received an application from Culpepper & Terpening, Inc, acting as the agent for BDG Port St. Lucie, LLC, the property owner, for the 4th Amendment to the Gatlin Plaza PUD. The Gatlin Plaza PUD encompasses approximately 91.07 acres and is divided into ten (10) tracts per the legal description. The site has been developed with a mixture of General Commercial and Light Industrial uses. This application will amend the PUD document to clarify the already permitted uses, and special exception uses within the PUD area and will amend the overall development map to add approximately 353,000 square feet of building area. The clarification in uses along with the additional square footage would allow for up to a total of 750,000 square feet of building area, including up to 120 hotel rooms. The proposed changes are included in the attached PUD document (Exhibit “A”) and the changes are shown as strike through and underlined.
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Board recommend approval of the PUD amendment as recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee with the condition set forth in Public Work’s traffic memo.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Board amend the recommendation and recommend approval
2. Move that the Board recommend denial and provide an explanation.
Background: The Gatlin Plaza PUD was first approved in 2005 (P04-431), under Ordinance 05-032 at which time the parcels were created and rezoned under the master PUD from St. Lucie County’s Agricultural (AG-1) to PUD. The master PUD was amended throughout the years to further improve the development and allowances, including commercial and light industrial uses, as well as, include additional land area to further the development potential of the area. The creation and amendments to the master PUD are in accordance with Policy 1.1.4.13 of the Future Land Use Element, which establishes the zoning districts compatible with the City’s Future Land Use classifications.
Issues/Analysis: The Site Plan Review Committee recommended approval of the proposed PUD document at the January 22, 2025, Site Plan Review Committee meeting.
Special Consideration: N/A
Location of Project: The property is located at the southwest corner of SW Gatlin Boulevard and SW Brescia Street.
