body
Submitted By: Francis Forman, Planner III
Executive Summary: The city received a rezoning request from Raeann Sells Florida, LLC, acting agent on behalf of the applicant, Michael Kells/EKIM Enterprises, LLC, requesting the rezoning of two parcels, totaling 0.55 acres, from the Single-Family Residential (RS-2) Zoning District to the Service Commercial (CS) Zoning District. The property is legally described as Port St. Lucie Section 13, Block 626, Lots 15 & 16. Each property currently contains a single-family residence, and the Applicant proposes to change the zoning district to bring the properties into uniformity to the surrounding area and allow a different set of uses on the property.
Presentation Information: Staff will provide a presentation.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Board recommend approval of the rezoning request.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Board amend the recommendation and recommend the rezoning request.
2. Move that the Board recommend denial of the rezoning request.
Background: N/A
Issues/Analysis: The rezoning classification complies with the direction and intent of the City of Port St. Lucie Comprehensive Plan. The Service Commercial (CS) Zoning District is compatible with the Light Industrial/Service Commercial (LI/CS) future land use classification per Policy 1.1.4.13 of the Future Land Use Element.
Special Consideration: The subject site is located within Area 25 of the Land Use Conversion Manual which lays out additional requirements for properties to be rezoned. Such requirements include minimum frontage and depth of the area being rezoned. For Conversion Area 25, any property wishing to rezone must have a minimum frontage of 160 feet and depth of 240 feet, with an exception to the depth requirement if the entire rear lot line is bounded by a major drainage right-of-way, canal or non-residential use and sufficient frontage exists for development. The two parcels that make up the subject site are the last remaining lots in the area to be rezoned to the Service Commercial (CS) zoning district and the rear lot lines are completely bounded by existing non-residential warehousing uses. The lots also provide sufficient frontage along SW Biltmore Street to allow for future redevelopment of the site, therefore, the subject properties meet the exception to the depth requirements of Conversion Area 25.
