Executive Summary (General Business): The City has received an application for site plan approval for a 522,527 square foot food service warehouse and distribution facility to be located within the Legacy Park area of Southern Grove. The application was submitted on behalf of the Port St. Lucie Governmental Finance Corporation (GFC) as the property owner and Cheney Brothers Corporation as the developer/end user. When initially constructed, the food service distribution facility will be 367,427 square feet and include dry warehouse, refrigerated and freezer space, ancillary office space, a test kitchen, Cheney Express retail outlet, loading docks, employee parking, truck staging area, and a fueling station for Cheney Brothers trucks. The facility will be gated and include a guard house at the entrance gate. The site plan provides for a total of 155,100 square feet for future expansion. It includes a 49,200 S.F. expansion area on the south side of the building and 105,900 S.F. expansion area on the west side of the building.
Presentation Information: Staff may provide a short presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve the site plan application as recommended by the Site Plan Review Committee.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve the site plan application.
2. Move that the Council not approve the site plan application and provide staff direction.
Background: The Site Plan Review Committee recommended approval of the site plan at the December 8, 2021 Site Plan Review Committee meeting.
Issues/Analysis: Cheney Brothers will be located on SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard immediately north of the Fed Ex Distribution Facility and directly east of Project Senior. SW Anthony F. Sansone Sr. Boulevard is currently under construction with the approval of Southern Grove Plat No. 35 (P21-059). The design plans for the roadway took into consideration the driveway locations, turn lanes, etc. that will be needed to serve development in Legacy Park.
