Strategic Plan Link: The City’s Mission to plan for smart and balanced growth.
Executive Summary (General Business): Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC, developer, has submitted an application for the sixth amendment to the Development Order for the Southern Grove DRI. The request is to amend the master development plan, Map H and Map H (2) of the DRI, and to revise the buildout and expiration dates to account for legislative time extensions granted by the Governor. Map H depicts the master development plan for Southern Grove and Map H (2) depicts the proposed location for the multi-use path known as Tradition Trail. The proposed amendment to the master development plan adjusts the locations for the Residential, Mixed Use, Neighborhood/Village Commercial, and Regional Business Center subcategories to accommodate new development proposals. It shifts the location for a proposed school and park site on SW Community Boulevard and it realigns the Paar Road right-of-way between SW Village Parkway and Interstate 95.
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council adopt the resolution as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and adopt the resolution.
2. Move that the Council not adopt the resolution and provide staff direction.
Background: The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the proposed amendment at the October 6, 2020 Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
Issues/Analysis: The proposed changes to the residential, mixed use, and neighborhood commercial subdistricts are to update the master development plan for Southern Grove to reflect the planning and marketing efforts of Mattamy Palm Beach, LLC. The proposed realignment of Paar Road and the increase in acreage for the regional business center sub-district category were requested by the Port St. Lucie Governmental Finance Corporation to accommodate growth in the jobs corridor along Interstate 95. The relocation of the park and school site provides access on two roadways and has been approved by the St. Lucie County School District. The Public Works Department has determined that the proposed land use sub area or sub-district changes to Map H can be accommodated within the existing transportation conditions for the Southern Grove DRI.
Financial Information: N/A
Special Consideration: These changes are consistent with a proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment (P20-059) that consists of a text amendment to the Future Land Use Element to amend Figure 1-4. Figure 1-4 is the conceptual land use plan for the Southern Grove NCD District. The text amendment adjusts the locations for the Residential, Mixed Use, Neighborhood/Village Commercial, Regional Business Center sub-districts. The transmittal hearing for the proposed amendment was held on October 26, 2020. The amendment was transmitted to the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and agencies for review. There were no comments or objections to the proposed amendment. The adoption hearing for the proposed amendment, Ordinance 20-56, is scheduled for the January 25, 2021 City Council meeting.
Location of Project: The property is located directly west of Interstate 95, between Tradition Parkway and the C-23 Canal and bordered to the west by both the Tradition and Riverland/Kennedy DRIs.
