Executive Summary (General Business): The City of Port St. Lucie has received a request from Murphy Oil USA, applicant, for a special exception use to allow a 2,824 square-foot convenience store with 12 fuel sale positions, as per Section 158.124(C)(11) of the General Commercial (CG) zoning district for a site located at the northeast corner of SW Port St. Lucie Boulevard and SW Bayshore Boulevard. The Zoning Code specifies a convenience store with a fuel service station may be permitted only following the review and specific approval thereof by the City Council. The site is currently vacant; however, it was approved for and housed a convenience store with fuel service station in 2011. More recently there was a car wash approved but never built on this property.
This request was previously tabled at the May 27, 2025, City Council meeting to allow staff and the applicant additional time to address traffic concerns. The Public Works team met with the applicant's traffic engineer to resolve staff's concerns and have the provided traffic impact analysis revised appropriately. Additional traffic concerns were addressed by changing the access to an ingress only along SW Port St. Lucie Boulevard, with all other access provided through the existing cross-access to the plaza to the north. This item was readvertised for the August 11, 2025, City Council Meeting.
