Executive Summary: The City of Port St. Lucie received a request from Roberto Urbina of URB Design Group, LLC., agent for the property owner, Omega Baptist Church of Pentecost Inc., to rezone a 1.16-acre parcel from Institutional (I) zoning district to Professional (P) zoning district to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is in Conversion Area 4 as identified in the adopted City of Port St. Lucie Conversion Area Manual.
