body
Submitted By: Sofia Trail, Planner I, Planning and Zoning Department
Executive Summary: The City of Port St. Lucie has received a request from the applicant, Edward McDonald, Thomas Engineering Group, on behalf of the property owners, Haredo Realty Advisors, Inc., and the John Mohamed Ghanie and Joan Davis-Ghanie Living Trust, for the following variances from the City of Port St. Lucie Code of Ordinances: 1. A variance of 14.6 feet from the rear building setback requirements, and, 2. A variance to the requirement of landscaping along the outside of the architectural wall, which is proposed ten (10) feet from the rear property line, and a variance of two (2) trees and 154 shrubs of perimeter landscaping required along the northern boundary of the subject property.
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: A rezoning application (P25-217) and a special exception use (SEU) application (P25-219) were submitted concurrently with the variance. The applicant is requesting to rezone the properties to the Limited Mixed Density (LMD) Zoning District and is proposing a retail development that has an approximate gross floor area of 10,062 square feet, which requires SEU approval.
Issues/Analysis: See staff report.
Special Consideration: The conceptual plans associated with the LMD rezoning and SEU are contingent upon the approval of the variance request. Additionally, the variance request is contingent upon the approval of the abandonment of 10 feet of the 20-foot drainage easement along the rear boundary line of lots 6 through 10 by the City Council, at time of site plan application.
Location of Project: The property is generally located on the northwest corner of SW Bougainvillea Avenue and SW Gatlin Boulevard.
