Strategic Plan Link: The City's Goal of a diverse local economy and employment opportunities.
Executive Summary (General Business): The City Council identified as a strategic priority the development of the Southern Grove Master Plan to meet the goals of a diverse local economy and employment opportunities with the initiative of building out Southern Grove. The item to be presented today is in direct response to meeting the objectives and goals of that strategic priority.
Presentation Information: The City Council contracted the services of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council to develop the Southern Grove Master Plan and Economic Analysis. Today, TCRPC will present Part 1 of the Southern Grove Master Plan Report which provides the master plan details of the proposed land development pattern, infrastructure design components, design elements, and recommendations for implementation of the master plan.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council adopt Part 1 of the Southern Grove Master Plan: Land Use and Infrastructure Component.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and request staff to bring back Part 1 of the Master Plan in January, to be adopted together with Part 2 of the Southern Grove Master Plan.
Background: On August 19, 2019 at the GFC Board meeting, City staff recommended for the City of Port St. Lucie to secure the services of Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) to prepare and develop a master plan for the Southern Grove Property. The GFC directed staff to move forward with drafting a contract with TCRPC, to include a list of subconsultants to be reviewed by the City Council. On September 23, 2019, the City Council approved the City of Port St. Lucie enter into an interlocal agreement with Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council to provide the services of developing a master plan and economic analysis on the property.
Special Consideration: Part 2 of the master plan, financial analysis component will come before the City County in January 2021. The financial component of the master plan has been proven to be highly technical and complex and required additional time for data collection in order to provide the City Council with a sound financial analysis.
