Strategic Plan Link: The City’s Mission to plan for smart and balanced growth.
Executive Summary (General Business): The owner, Hospital Corp of America, has applied for a major site plan amendment approval for a project known as St. Lucie HCA Hospital. The proposed major site plan amendment is for the addition of a parking garage for the HCA hospital located at the corner of SE Tiffany Avenue and SE Hillmoor Drive. The proposed amendment will provide for the construction of a 6-story parking garage to assist the hospital by providing an increase of 671 available parking spaces for the hospital complex. During the construction of the proposed parking garage, a total of 114 spaces will be removed and replaced with the 671-space parking structure bringing the total number of available spaces for the complex to 1,294 spaces at the completion of the parking garage.
Presentation Information: Staff may provide a brief presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve the major site plan amendment.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve the major site plan amendment with conditions.
2. Move that the Council deny the major site plan amendment.
Background: The Site Plan Review Committee recommended approval of the major site plan amendment at the June 12, 2024, meeting.
Issues/Analysis: The major site plan amendment has been reviewed for compliance with the Planned Unit Development, City’s Land Development Regulations, and Citywide Design Standards and found to be in compliance.
Financial Information: N/A
Special Consideration: The hospital complex site plan currently contains a total of 711 parking spaces, with 573 spaces on-site and 138 spaces being provided off-site located across SE Hillmoor Drive. The off-site parking was approved in the previous site plan amendment, P13-008-A1 which also includes the vertical expansion of the hospital. The construction of the off-site parking lot is currently on-going and will be completed prior to the start of construction on the building expansion and the proposed parking garage. The construction of the proposed parking garage will begin concurrently with the vertical expansion and cause the loss of 114 spaces. Since the vertical expansion and proposed garage will be constructed concurrently, at the time of completion of the expansion, the parking garage will be completed and operational to handle the increased hospital bed count by providing an increase of 671 spaces for a total of 1,294 spaces located throughout the complex.
Location of Project: The property is located on the southeast corner of SE Tiffany Avenue and SE Hillmoor Drive
