Second Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 2024-038 - Land Development Code Text Amendment County Initiated Amendment of Chapter XIII, Building Regulations And Public Works Construction Manual Katherine Barbieri, Assistant County Attorney III, and Michael Jerrahian, SLC Building Official presented the proposed second public hearing on ordinance 2024-038 land development code text amendment. The amendment is to the building regulation section of the land development code, with the last major changes made in 2001. The purpose of the amendment is to update the code to meet current standards and requirements as required by the Building Commission. The Florida Building Code Chapter 1 is an administrative chapter covering general permit requirements, site inspections, permit applications, submittal documents, and required inspections. Also, it established a board of appeal for interpretations issued by the Building Official and established processes for handling unsafe structures. The Florida statute allows each authority having jurisdiction to amend the administrative chapter to fit local needs, making it more stringent than the current standards. Amendments to a local Chapter 1 are common and have been made in Indian River County, Martin County, Palm Beach County, and the City of Port St. Lucie. The draft ordinance was reviewed by the Treasure Coast Builder’s Association, the Town of St Lucie Villages Building Official, the St. Lucie County Contractor Licensing Board, and the Planning and Zoning Board with no negative feedback or objections. The amendments help differentiate between standard text, recommended text and required text from the Florida Statute. The proposed major changes: • 101.2.1 Appendices - Provisions in the appendices shall not apply unless specifically adopted. St. Lucie County has adopted Appendix “Q” in the Florida Building Code, Residential Volume: Tiny Houses. • 107.2.7 Structural information.

For pile driving;

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 3, 2024 6:00 PM 10 | P a g e 5. For buildings with an area greater than 20,000 square feet; 6. For buildings more than two stories in height; or 7. For buildings and structures of unusual design or methods of construction. • 110.3 Required Inspections - The building official upon notification from the permit holder or his or her agent shall make the following inspections, or any other such inspection as deemed necessary and shall either release that portion of the construction or shall notify the permit holder or his or her agent of any violations which must be corrected in order to comply with the technical codes. The building official shall determine the timing and sequencing of when inspections occur and what elements are inspected at each inspection. A complete survey, or special purpose survey may be required before an inspection is approved. • 110.3(13) – Swimming Pool Inspection. First inspection to be made after excavation and installation of reinforcing steel, bonding, and main drain and prior to placing of concrete. a)Steel reinforcement inspection b)Underground electric inspection c)Underground piping inspection including a pressure test. d)Underground electric inspection under deck area (including the equipotential bonding) e)Underground piping inspection under deck area f)Deck inspection: to be made prior to installation of the deck material (with forms, deck drains, and any reinforcement in place g)Safety Inspection; Made prior to filling the pool with the bonding connections made, the proper drain covers installed and the final barriers installed. All barriers must also meet the required Land Development Code of St Lucie County. h)Final pool piping i)Final Electrical inspection j)Final inspection to be made when the swimming pool is complete and all required enclosure requirements are in place. • 110.10 Impact of Construction. All construction activity regulated by this code shall be performed in a manner so as not to adversely impact the condition of adjacent property, unless such activity is permitted to affect said property pursuant to a consent granted by the applicable property owner, under terms or conditions agreeable to the applicable property owner. This includes but is not limited to, the control of dust, noise, water or drainage runoffs, debris, and the storage of construction materials. New construction activity shall not adversely impact legal historic surface water drainage flows serving adjacent properties and may require special drainage design complying with engineering standards to preserve the positive drainage patterns of the affected sites. Accordingly, developers, contractors, and owners of all new residential development, including additions, pools, patios, driveways, decks, or similar items, on existing properties resulting in a significant decrease of permeable land area on any parcel or has altered the drainage flow on the developed property shall, as a permit condition, provide a professionally prepared drainage plan clearly indicating compliance with this paragraph. Upon completion of the improvement, a certification from a licensed professional, as appropriate under Florida law, shall be submitted to the inspector in order to receive approval of the final inspection.

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 3, 2024 6:00 PM 11 | P a g e • 113 Board of Appeals: • 113.1 General. In order to hear and decide appeals of orders, decisions, or determinations made by the building official relative to the application and interpretation of this code, there shall be and is hereby created a Construction Board of Adjustment Appeals. The structure, computation, and administrative procedures of the St. Lucie County Contracting Examining Board as described in Chapter 10, Article II of the St. Lucie County Code, shall be used to serve the role of the Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals. • 116 Unsafe Structures: • 116.1 Unsafe buildings, structures, equipment, or systems.

Unsafe structures shall be taken down and removed or made safe, as the building official deems necessary and as provided for in this section. A vacant structure that is not secured against entry shall be deemed unsafe. This is the second of two public hearings. Staff recommended that the Board adopt proposed Ordinance No. 2024-038 Commissioner Clasby asked if the public hearing information was brought before the Treasure Coast Builders Association or the Contractors Examiner Board for review. In response, Mr. Jerrahian confirmed yes the draft of Chapter 1 was presented to them, no comments were made, and they were in favor of the amendments. Chair Fowler opened the hearing for public comment at this time. With no one wishing to address the Board, Chair Fowler closed the public hearing.

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 3, 2024 6:00 PM 12 | P a g e 1. Rainbow Groves Future Land Use Map Amendment from AG-5 (Agricultural-5) to MXD (Mixed Use Development) with Associated Subarea Policies - ADOPTION HEARING - CONTINUED FROM NOVEMBER 12, 2024 MEETING Irene Szedlmayer, Senior Planner, and Kori Benton, Planning Manager of Planning and Development Services presented the continuation of the proposed Rainbow Groves Future Land Use Map Agreement adoption hearing from November 12, 2024. Since the meeting has been continued to a specific date, the public notification from November 12, 2024, applies to this meeting. The proposed site is situated on the west side of Range Line Road, approximately 1 mile south of its intersection with Glades Cut-Off Road. It lies within the Urban Service Boundary (USB) in St. Lucie County, in the south-central part of the county, about four miles north of the border it shares with Martin County. The current Future Land Use designation is Agricultural-5 (AG-5) and proposed to change to Mixed Use Development (MXD) with specific use areas. Staff provided an overview of other applications including M Ranch Mine, Palermo, Legacy, Oak Ridge Rances, and Neill Farms in the County, including a pre-application for industrial and residential development. The proposed MXD future land use includes three specific use areas: Heavy Industrial (151 acres), Light Industrial (72 acres), and Light Industrial/General Commercial (22 acres) on Range Line Road. The site is approximately 245 acres. Heavy industrial activities would be permitted in the site's interior, sharing boundaries with industrial uses to the north and east. The application received staff support due to its location on the freight network of the County, as identified in the long-range transportation plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing in May 2023, recommending approval of the future land use map amendment. The Board held a transmittal hearing in June 2023, and the proposed hearing is the final of three public hearings. The applicant has been in the works with their consultants, County engineers, the Florida Department of Transportation, and the City of St. Lucie to prepare a traffic impact report which has been completed. If approved, the proposed future land map amendment will be sent to the State Department of Commerce and the State Regional Planning Agencies for review, with a response expected in 30 days. Following state approval, before any development could occur the site would need to be rezoned to a Planned Non-Residential Development (PNRD) Zoning District. A preliminary development plan would be required, scrutinizing proposed uses, stormwater, landscape buffering, transportation access, etc. The final development plan would follow the preliminary development plan, with construction documents and concurrency facilities. The application must demonstrate that the level of service for nearby roadways and public facilities will be maintained. Staff advised the MXD's future land use designation recommendation for the property as opposed to moving forward with future industrial land use as it enables the County and the applicant to come to an agreement regarding specific uses, activities, standards, and policies governed. The proposed Rainbow Groves MXD Activity area policies intended for planned development are primarily designed to accommodate and promote targeted industries and employment- generating uses. The following policies shall govern: 1. All development within the Rainbow Groves Mixed Use Activity Area Plan shall: (updated 11/12/24 based on the City of Port St. Lucie input) a.

The analysis was completed for 5 years and 20 years in the future and the Rainbow Groves development will impact local roadways. The existing and planned roadway network will be deficient in 5 years and 20 years due to previously approved development. Two additional roadway segments will become deficient due to FLUMA traffic. The proposed Rainbow Grove land use amendment could result in an estimated 40,647 new daily trips, including 3,772 during the AM peak and 5,047 during the PM peak, assuming the highest intensity of development. Staff provided an overview of industrial uses located near residential areas, and advised such developments do not necessarily cause problems. Staff recommended the Board approve the adoption of the FLUMA from AG-5 to Mixed Use Development (MXD) with Rainbow Groves Specific Use Activity Areas for heavy industrial, light industrial, and light industrial/commercial uses and specific use policies. Alternatively, if the Board determines additional information or analysis is needed, direct staff and the applicant as to needed information and continue the public hearing to a certain date. Mike McCarty, McCarty & Associates representative for the applicant, addressed the Board regarding the proposed amendment application for Rainbow Groves. He reiterated key points from the staff's presentation regarding the transmittal, multiple meetings, traffic impact analysis, the Department of Commerce, and various agencies, and advised proper notice was posted on the property and certification filed with the clerk. He advised that the property had been owned by the McCarty family for nearly a century and used for agricultural purposes, specifically for the cultivation of citrus. Due to the challenges and decline in the citrus industry, it is no longer an appropriate use. The request to change the future land use designation from Agriculture to Mixed-Use Development (MXD) aims to establish the Rainbow Groves Specific Use Activity Areas for heavy industrial uses, light industrial uses, and light industrial or commercial activities. He advised the traffic analysis complies with the state requirements and no further revisions have been requested by the County’s 3 rd party traffic engineer or FDOT. He provided an overview of the Rainbow Groves aerial with FEC rail access and advised the intent is to promote and attract businesses that would benefit from the rail service. He discussed the proximity of the PGA

He advised that the Intermodal Transfer Facility (ITF) is now a conditional use, the Inland Port is prohibited, the Heavy Industrial Uses are Limited uses permitted, and identified certain uses as conditional. In a follow-up to the November 12, 2024, meeting, a town hall meeting was held at which he was unable to speak 60 total residents were in attendance of the 5,500 residents with discussions focusing on train derailments, increase in acid rain, gas, and other fears. On November 26, 2024, a meeting was held with 4 PGA residents and the consensus was they don’t want any industrial and prefer commercial, which is not viable or realistic for the 245 acres. He mentioned heavy industrial prohibited uses presented by staff, including the surrounding properties with no objections to the project. Mr. McCarty advised that language has been provided in the sub-area policy which states they “shall” determine the specific improvements at the time of PNRD zoning/site plan approval and a developer's agreement “shall” be entered into with the City of PSL and the County. His team has maintained coordination with the City of PSL staff, TPO, FDOT, and 3 rd party traffic consultants Kittelson & Associates. They have shared the ordinance and proposed language within the sub- area policy regarding the developer agreement with the City of PSL at PNRD. McCarty advised that both the City and County are protected and have assurances that the traffic impacts will be mitigated, and specific performance shall occur at the time of PNRD. In efforts to coordinate with the City of PSL since November 12th , 2024 the applicant has e-mailed the city on November 14, 2024, to request the Developer’s Agreement. In response, the City of PSL responded and stated that they must address the City’s traffic comments before they provide an agreement. The applicant's traffic engineer has revised the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) and addressed outstanding comments. On November 27, 2024, the applicant met with PSL and the applicant was provided a Developer’s Agreement, and the applicant's attorney concluded that the agreement was one-sided. PSL retains the right to object and challenge the applicant's application. PSL has jurisdiction with controls on the property in perpetuity and allows PSL to seek “additional mitigation” in the future (open-ended). The applicants' legal counsel has advised them not to sign the agreement and that the sub-area policies satisfy the requirements to enter into a developer's agreement at the time of PNRD. He presented a letter of support from the EDC highlighting the potential benefits of the project for the community, including job creation and tax base growth. In conclusion, Mr. McCarty advised that the applicant has demonstrated compliance with state statutes and the County’s requirements that are in the comprehensive plan amendments. The application has been deemed in compliance and has satisfied all the specific criteria of the FLUM amendments. The County's third-party reviewer, Kimley Horn, has no further comments. FDOT and the TPO have also reviewed the latest revisions and have no additional comments. The applicant has addressed the City of PSL's concerns regarding TIA and is committed to entering into a developer's agreement at the time of PNRD rezone/site plan approval with specific performance based on the traffic impacts at that time per the sub-area policy included as part of this approval. The County staff has determined the application complies with and recommends the adoption of the Future Land Use Map Amendment (FLUMA). The applicant will be back before the Board for the approval of the PNRD and at that time any additional concern can be addressed. Shannon Martin, City of Port St. Lucie Mayor addressed the Board regarding the proposed development. She advised there have been discussions regarding the developer's agreement,

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 3, 2024 6:00 PM 17 | P a g e traffic issues, and zoning concerns. She advised that no agreement has been reached despite multiple meetings and communications, including a traffic study revision on November 22, 2024. She addressed claims regarding the agreement being one-sided and mentioned the claims of annexation within the City are false and there has been no application for voluntary annexation. She clarified that the City cannot annex any property without City Council approval. The City's goal is to work together to mitigate impacts and protect residents. She advised the City is not in competition with the County but is working to address shared concerns. She expressed disappointment in the lack of communication between the applicants and deficiencies in the traffic study, particularly regarding Crosstown Parkway. She clarified that the city has no jurisdiction over the development. The City is concerned about the developer's obligation to address infrastructure impacts and insists on a formal agreement before approving any development. Ms. Martin recommended denying the current approval until the issues are resolved. Chair Fowler opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following people addressed the Board. • Shannon Martin, City of Port St. Lucie Mayor • Mary Savage-Dunham, City of Port St. Lucie Planning & Zoning Director • Dr. Ivan Somers, PGA Representative • Mark Szabad • Ria Muriello • Lynn Marso • Michelle Huck • Jolien Caraballo, City of Port St. Lucie Vice-Mayor With no one else wishing to address the Board, Chair Fowler closed the public hearing. In response to the public comment, Mike McCarty, McCarty & Associates representative for the applicant, advised the proposal is in the land use stage and that all required data studies have been met through staff reviews through the comprehensive plan amendments. He acknowledged public concerns regarding the undone aspects of the project, specific uses, limitations, restrictions, and protections identified in the subarea policy with the MXD. He advised that more concerns can be addressed when the applicant returns to the PUD process with concurrency, improvements, or other related issues. Commissioner Clasby mentioned a meeting held with PSL Mayor Shannon Martin and staff regarding a traffic study dated November 24, indicating 52 roadways becoming efficient based on the report at the future land use stage. He asked if there were potential uses that would have less than 40,000 trips per day. In response, Mr. Benton advised that the assumptions presented in the traffic report consider the maximum build-out potential for 40,000 trips, involving over 3 million square ft. of heavy industrial, over 1 million square ft. of light industrial, and over 400,000 sq. ft. of commercial. He mentioned a proposal for rezoning or residential development would likely present uses with fewer trips, but the analysis considers the worst-case scenario to understand roadway impacts.

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 3, 2024 6:00 PM 18 | P a g e Commissioner Clasby inquired about the advantage of the city having a developer agreement at the future land use stage and if it would require preparation to address the 52 roadways. In response. Mr. Benton advised the County could not weigh in on the content of the developer's agreement with the City of PSL, but the sub-area policy includes a commitment to continued coordination. Commissioner Townsend asked for clarification on the current comprehensive plan and the designation of the freight corridor between Range Line Road and Glades Cut-Off Road. In response, Mr. Benton advised the designations are within the TPO's long-range transportation plan and right-of-way protection map for future planning. The Board and staff expressed their concerns and discussed the process for rezoning and the site plan, growth, FEC corridor with rail access, comprehensive plan, developer's agreement with both the City and County, the traffic impact analysis/study, overdevelopment, conditional uses, environmental impacts, industrial uses, the anticipated tax revenue, jobs, road widening, TPO, residential concerns, impacts on the infrastructure, ordinance language, traffic, train/freight network, sub-area policy, surrounding developments, EDC, transmittal process, prohibited uses, laws, statutes, and codes involved in the decision-making process. Staff raised concerns regarding sub-area policy (5) outlining the permitted conditional uses in the Industrial Light (IL) and Industrial Heavy (IH) Zoning District and suggested modifying the ordinance language from "shall" to "may" for certain accessory uses for additional safeguards for the PNRD. Staff also raised concerns about sub-area policy (5c) regarding the clarification of "solid waste" in the ordinance to distinguish it from "recoverable materials" and allow for certain/ any recycling activities, whether indoor or outdoor, to be considered conditional uses to avoid ambiguity. Staff advised that the term "waste" is unsuitable for the ordinance. The Board and staff discussed the types of recyclable materials and the need for clear definitions to avoid confusion and ensure compliance with state statutes, as well as the need to exclude certain materials, such as biosolids and hazardous waste, from the definition of solid waste. Mayte Santamaria, the Deputy County Administrator, commented and suggested language potentially stating "recoverable materials, outdoor scrap, land clearing, and yard trash recycling operations shall require a conditional use. She explained that the definition of solid waste in the land development code mirrors the statutory definition. She advised solid waste in the land development code is defined as sludge unregulated under the federal Clean Water Act, or Clean Air Act, sludge from waste treatment works, water supply, treatment plant or air pollution control facility, or garbage, rubbish, refuse, special waste, or other discarded material, including solid, liquid, semi-solid, or contained gaseous material resulting from domestic, industrial, commercial mining, agriculture or governmental operations. Solid waste in the statute means sludge unregulated from the federal Clean Water Act or Clean Air Act sludge from the waste treatment works, water supply, treatment plant, or air pollution control facility, or garbage rubbish, refuse, special waste, or other discarded material, including solid, liquid, semi-solid, or contained gaseous material, resulting from domestic, industrial, commercial, mining, agricultural, government

On October 17, 2024, the Planning & Zoning Commission held a meeting and voted (4) to (2) recommending the Board approve the request. The applicant has made several changes in response to the Planning and Zoning Commission's input, including the linear/community park, changing the 14 townhome buildings into detached single-family dwellings, and reducing the number of dwelling units from 231 to 191. The proposed density has been reduced from 6.3 dwelling units per acre to 5.2 dwellings per acre. Staff recommended the Board adopt the draft Resolution amending the Zoning Atlas on this 36-acre site from AR-1 to PUD and approve the Preliminary Development Plan subject to the conditions identified in the Resolution, as such conditions were modified at the public hearing. Dan Sorrow, of Cotleur & Hearing, addressed the Board on behalf of the applicant and provided a historical overview of the property, and the applicant's background and advised the proposed item is 100% compliant with the code. He reiterated the staff's presentation regarding the dwelling units, land use, roads, site plan, density, design, open space, garages, amenities, architectural features, parking, etc. He mentioned once approved the development would be the first new urbanist traditional neighborhood development in the County. He highlighted points of interest such as the school's Lake Park Elementary and FAU Armor Branch and commercial areas Wind Dixie shopping center and Publix. He highlighted recreational facilities and advised the project meets TVC open space requirements. The development will create local jobs and feature unique architectural elements, such as detached garages and alley-loaded homes. The project is down-zoning, reducing the density from 9 to 5.2 units per acre. The project meets the TVC framework and is located within the urban service boundary. He mentioned the community the project is designed to be an ungated community with on-street parking and provides the necessary transect and flowway. The applicant supports the staff and Planning and Zoning Commission recommendations for approval. Chair Fowler opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following people addressed the Board. • Wayne Bennett • Jim Chalmers With no one else wishing to address the Board, Chair Fowler closed the public hearing.

Mr. Sorrow commented in response to the Cabo Rio site and advised the applicant has no desire to connect to the stormwater system on their side, a ditch running west of Kings Highway north and south will suffice as the outfall location. He advised that the site is a major investment and

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 3, 2024 6:00 PM 22 | P a g e that they will maintain it properly. The project includes a management company for property landscape maintenance and rental rates of $2,000 to $3,000. Fences and landscaping will block car lights from facing garages onto neighboring properties. The property has been designated for over 20 years to be a high-density residential development. Mr. Sorrow advised of the landscape plan with a 15-ft. buffer and an 8-ft. tall fence, landscape screening to separate properties, roadway, and house setbacks to provide additional separation from the neighboring property. Mr. Clasby expressed concerns regarding the site layout regarding the number of connected units in townhomes currently at 16 (8 per floor) and suggested reducing them to 4 per floor. In response, Mr. Sorrow advised that The developer is open to adjusting the layout before the final site plan to address concerns to either three per floor or four per floor with a 15 ft. separation between the units. Commissioner Clasby also commented on the distance between the single-family homes and asked if the applicant could set a minimum distance of 15 ft. from wall to wall between the buildings. In response, Mr. Sorrow advised yes. Patrick Dayan, Public Works Director commented on the road widening and mentioned in the FDOT’s draft tentative work program a segment of Kings Highway, between St. Lucie Boulevard and Indrio Road is scheduled and funded for right-of-way acquisition starting in 2027. It will take some time to acquire the right-of-way, the canal must be relocated so the widening will be to the west where the canal is currently situated and where the southbound lanes of travel will be in the future from the south to north. The next segment phased for construction funding will be the I-95 overpass up to Commercial Circle just north of Angle Roa
