Submitted By: Stephen Mayer, Planner III
Executive Summary: The applicant is requesting approval of a large-scale future land use map amendment for approximately 84 acres in size acres from Residential, Office and Institutional (ROI) and Commercial General/Residential, Office, Institutional (CG/ROI) to Residential Golf Course (RGC). The purpose of this request is to apply a uniform application of the RGC land use classification to the entirety of the residential portion of the Veranda and St. Lucie Lands PUD, thereby bringing the entire original PUD into compliance with Policy 1.1.4.1 of the comprehensive plan.
Presentation Information: Staff will make a presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Board recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Board amend the recommendation and recommend approval of the amended Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
2. Move that the Board deny the Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
Background: As final site designs were completed for the Veranda PUD, amendments moved the boundary lines of the Veranda/ St. Lucie Lands PUD, resulting in a slight misalignment of the land use and the land development designations.
Issues/Analysis: The required gross number of Multifamily units, pursuant to Policy 1.1.4.1, is a minimum of 20% and Maximum of 35%. The current Residential Golf Course (RGC) land use area does not meet this requirement. Combining the multi-family units for all the Veranda and St. Lucie Lands PUD equates to 3,811 units, of which 780 is multi-family (or 20.5% multifamily). By combining and unifying all the residential components under RGC, the multi-family composition is just above the minimum required units, bringing the existing residential in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Special Consideration: N/A
Location of Project: The properties are generally located south of Becker Road, North of the St. Lucie County line, east of the Florida Turnpike, and west of Veranda Preserve.
