Adopted by Consent Vote H. PUBLIC UTILITIES 1. Amendment #2 to Contract C23-10-893 with Wharton-Smith, Inc. for Construction Manager at Risk for the Water Treatment Facility at Taylor Dairy Road Staff recommended Board approval of the draft second amendment for the Taylor Dairy Road Water Treatment Facility in the amount of $9,900,000.00 and authorize the Chair to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney. Commissioner Clasby pulled this item for separate discussion and vote. Commissioner Clasby commented on an email received from the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority (FPUA) requesting the item to be tabled for four (4) months to allow them time to complete an at- cost pricing study to provide the County with a better water cost rate than the current rate. Mr. Clasby mentioned the County would not have to invest funding into utilities if considered. He expressed concerns regarding the County investing millions without sufficient time to compare costs and rates and suggested a four-month table. County Administrator George Landry commented on the historical context and cost evaluation of the proposed item before the decision was made for the County to build the facility. He discussed the existing plants and the need to provide water and sewer to new developments. He highlighted the $50 million line of credit already spent and committed, $24 million spent for the Tropicana industrial utility plant plus the deep well, totaling $74 million. In addition to the $34 million in American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds allocated to enhance the infrastructure. In total, over $80 million has been invested to support both growth and the existing customers being served. With the expiration of the upcoming bulk agreement, delaying the process of the plant by the time of expiration thousands of customers will be without water/sewer. The County would be forced into an agreement losing leverage and control over prices. Staff do not recommend slowing the process down, the negotiations have been in process for over 6 years with no resolution with pricing/cost, and with any further delay, the County would be behind. The project is already underway with significant preparatory work, including land clearing and site preparation. He expressed the need to continue the project to avoid wasting assets and the potential financial impact on taxpayers. In response, Mr. Clasby mentioned upon reaching out to FPUA he was advised that the currently

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 7, 2025 6:00 PM 7 | P a g e purchased infrastructure can be utilized to repump, etc. He advised he is against adding a third utility, stating it promotes additional growth and should be avoided. He sees no harm in tabling the item for 4 months for reconsideration, allowing FPUA time to complete a study. He prefers to purchase bulk water than invest millions into infrastructure that will promote additional growth in the County. He raised concerns regarding the environmental impact of pumping water from the ground and the potential for better rates from FPUA. He also mentioned keeping the government small and avoiding the need to expand the utility. Commissioner Townsend commented on a recently awarded $18 million contract for the deep well and advised if the item does not move forward the contract would be voided, and the County would lose the money. She mentioned the importance of maintaining the timeline and the possibility of the impact on taxpayers including significant commitments and investments. Chair Fowler commented on previous discussions with FPUA and the inability to reach an agreement before the proposal. She suggested postponing the item for 2 weeks to follow up with FPUA to get more information. In response, County Administrator George Landry advised according to staff 2 weeks would be sufficient, but anything longer would have an impact. Commissioner Townsend mentioned that the Utilities is an enterprise fund, and with that fund, it pays for itself and will also pay back part of the debt. She also mentioned the water quality in Lakewood Park. Commissioner Clasby mentioned the expiration of the upcoming bulk agreement in 2028, and negotiations with other utilities including Indian River County or Vero Utility that may offer a significantly lower bulk rate than FPUA which offers more competition. He reiterated he is not in favor of expanding the government that may promote development. In response, County Administrator George Landry advised that Vero Beach cannot serve the entire utility area needed by the County through a bulk agreement. Vero Beach could potentially serve North Hutchinson Island, but they would require several years of advance notice to expand their plant and make that commitment. However, Vero Beach would not be able to provide service north of the County, in the central County, at Creekside, or along Okeechobee Road. Additionally, Indian River County cannot currently provide service as well, maybe in an emergency but nothing further. Neither can the City of Port St. Lucie. The Board and staff discussed the historical context, negotiation effort over time, cost savings evaluation regarding the proposed item, the need to stay on schedule to avoid additional costs and debt, the continuation of the item, effects of the project if delayed, contracts/agreements, expansion, infrastructure of Lakewood Park, Taylor Dairy commitment, purchasing of bulk water and water pumping, and negotiation efforts made over the years with FPUA. The Board did not have any further questions or comments on this item. Commissioner Clasby proposed a motion to postpone the item for four months to allow the Board to gather complete information from the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority (FPUA) cost study before

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 7, 2025 6:00 PM 8 | P a g e deciding. However, the motion did not receive a second, and therefore, it did not pass. Commissioner Leet made a motion to move forward with the staff's recommendation. The motion was seconded, but Commissioner Clasby opposed it. The motion passed with a vote of (4) to (1). RESULT: APPROVE MOVER: Commissioner District 2 Larry Leet SECONDER: Commissioner District 5 Cathy Townsend AYES: Jamie Fowler, Larry Leet, Erin Lowry, Cathy Townsend NAYS: James Clasby EXCUSED: None 2. Amendment #2 to Contract C22-09-730 with CAPTEC Engineering, Inc. for Professional Engineering Services for the Design and Permitting of Water and Wastewater Lines Along Midway Road - THIS ITEM IS RELATED TO THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN Staff recommended Board approval of Amendment #2 to C22-09-730 with CAPTEC Engineering in the amount of $40,000.00 for ARP Midway Road Force Main Design project and authorize the Chair to sign documents approved by the County Attorney. Adopted by Consent Vote I. TRANSIT 1. Authorizing Resolution and Grant Acceptance for the Intermodal Access Development Program Grant Agreement between St. Lucie County and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) The FDOT Intermodal Access Development Program provides assistance for upgrades and safety improvements for Intermodal Centers. Funding from this grant supports the improvements to the Port St. Lucie Intermodal Facility. The grant is matched with Federal Transit Administration 5307 CARES funding that was previously set aside for this project. No additional local match is required. Staff recommended Board acceptance of the authorizing resolution and Public Transportation Grant Agreement Amendment for $900,000.00 for the FDOT Intermodal Access Development Program (FM#453191-1-94-01/Grant G2S15); and authorization for the Chair to sign documents, as approved by the County Attorney.

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 7, 2025 6:00 PM 9 | P a g e the resolution certifying the budgeted and general administrative costs are not greater than twenty percent (20%) above the annual state average of administrative costs for its respective tier. Adopted by Consent Vote 10. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 1. Land Development Code Text Amendment - County Initiated Code Amendment for Fencing - ADOPTION HEARING Benjamin Balcer, Planning & Development Services Director presented to the Board the proposed ordinance amendment to the County-Initiated Land Development Code (LDC) regarding fence height regulations in various zoning districts within the County. Following the requirements for public notice, a public hearing notice was published in the St. Lucie News Tribune on December 22, 2024. The proposed text amendments to the LDC address and clarify provisions for fence height on various properties within unincorporated St. Lucie County. The amendment clarifies that the Agricultural Residential-1 (AR-1) Zoning district is a residential zoning district subject to the fence height associated with other residential zoning districts within the County. The standards include a maximum height of 4 ft. within the required front yard and a maximum height of 6 ft. along the side and rear yards. The amendment allows for flexibility in determining fence heights, in areas with significant grade changes between the adjacent roadway and property in which the fence will be located. The amendment provides flexibility by allowing cattle or chicken wire as an eligible fence material within the side and rear yards of properties within residential zoning districts if they are abutting a local state or federal reserve area with a similar fence type. The amendment adds flexibility in fence heights to contain public uses or facilities for safety and security purposes, such as public water or wastewater treatment plants, electric substations, or public airports. The proposed ordinance includes an allowance for fences up to 12 ft. in height to contain athletic activities around facilities such as basketball courts or tennis courts. The amendment clarifies the County's requirement to construct a permanent 4 ft. tall fence or wall around all residential swimming pools that are not screened, in addition to the current pool safety standards of F.S. § 515.27 - Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act. For public safety purposes, the County has historically required installing a 4 ft. tall permanent non-climbable fence around all new pools when they are not enclosed with a screen. The draft ordinance aims to amend the code to allow for administrative waivers of the County's fence requirements, shifting the process from a public hearing to administrative approval through the Planning & Development Services Director. The standard of review will remain the same, including demonstrating the proposed build or natural condition provides equal or greater protection than the required 4 ft. high permanent fence or wall. The revised language includes an appeal procedure to the Board of County Commissioners if administrative approval is denied. Staff recommended the Board of County Commissioners vote to approve Ordinance 2025-03 as drafted.

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 7, 2025 6:00 PM 10 | P a g e 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. The Board did not have any questions or comments on this item. A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, and it passed unanimously. RESULT: ADOPT MOVER: Commissioner District 5 Cathy Townsend SECONDER: Commissioner District 2 Larry Leet AYES: Jamie Fowler, Larry Leet, James Clasby, Erin Lowry, Cathy Townsend NAYS: None EXCUSED: None 2. Proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment - 25th & Midway - ADOPTION HEARING Irene Szedlmayer, Senior Planner, and Kori Benton Planning Manager of Planning & Development Services presented to the Board the proposed adoption of a future land use amendment for a 34.2-acre site on corner 25th Street and Midway Road in St. Lucie County. The amendment seeks to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map to change the future land use designation from Commercial (COM) to Residential Urban (RU) on 26.2 acres and Residential Medium (RM) on the remaining 8 acres of the proposed site. The small-scale amendment is under 50 acres and does not require state-level review only a public/adoption hearing. Following the requirements for public notice, a public hearing notice was published in the local newspaper, signs were displayed on the subject property, and notices were sent by mail. The proposed site 34.2-acre site is vacant with approximately 12 acres of wetlands. The existing future land use designation for the site is Commercial, which has been in place since the first future land use map was adopted in 1984. The proposed future land use is split between Residential Medium and Residential Urban, with different density allowances. According to Florida’s Live Local Act, enacted in 2023, multifamily residential development with the highest density permitted anywhere in the County (15 dwelling units per acre) may be developed on commercially zoned land with building height eligible to the highest currently allowed for commercial uses within 1 mile of the site, if 40% of the units are affordable to households at 120% or below the Area Median Income (AMI). Staff advised the existing commercial future land use and the proposed RU and RM future land uses are all appropriate for the subject site given its location within the Urban Service Boundary (USB) and adjacent to two principal arterials. The future commercial areas should be located at points of high transportation access, with specific action taken to prevent the development of new linear commercial strips. Although the plan supports the location of higher-intensity commercial uses at the intersection of arterial roadways, it does not mean that every intersection should be designated for commercial activities. Applications for commercial use should be done in conjunction with a detailed review of the impacts of such development on adjacent property, specifically noting what, if any, negative neighborhood impacts could result from a map amendment. The Residential Urban (RU) future land designation use is described in the comprehensive plan as the County's predominant residential land use

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 7, 2025 6:00 PM 11 | P a g e category. The residential land use category provides a maximum density of 5 dwelling units per acre. It is generally found between identified urban service areas and transitional residential suburban areas. These properties need to be serviced with central water and wastewater services. According to all applicable regulations, the services may be provided by either the public utility or through private on-site facilities. In the RU area development can occur using traditional single-family or multifamily zoning designations or through the planned unit development process. Staff advised there is an accompanying application to rezone the property to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Residential Medium future land use is intended for areas within or planned to be within, areas of central community services. A maximum residential density of 9 dwelling units per acre is permitted. If required, the actual density is subject to satisfactory completion of the rezoning process, which would include a complete review of the physical suitability of the property for development at the proposed intensity. Limited non-residential uses may be appropriate, in the future land use designation. Medium-density residential land uses can act as a transition between lower-intensity RU areas and more intense land use designations. The property subject to the application is adjunct to, or within no more than one- quarter mile of the same or greater type of land use classification. The property subject to the application meets the requirements of Policy 1.1.5.4. Previous applications for the property include a commercial center approved in 1990 and a mixed-use project proposed which did not proceed. In 2022, another residential project was proposed, but it also did not come to fruition. The staff report considers the area's growth, facilities, and services, as well as the suitability of the plan amendment, considering the character of the undeveloped land and adjacent land uses. Staff advised of the potential impact of increased traffic and roadway configurations, noting that the current road configuration may not support commercial development. The increase in residential development in the area could make commercial activities more viable, but access issues and traffic congestion remain concerns. The staff report includes an analysis of the need for job creation and economic development, as well as consultation with the Florida Department of Transportation. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the amendment on February 21, 2024, voting unanimously to recommend approval. Staff recommended the Board consider the staff report and agenda packet, the presentations made at the public hearing and any public comment received, and adopt Ordinance 2025-02, amending the Future Land Use Map as petitioned and authorize the Chair to sign the ordinance as approved by the County Attorney. Mariana Arias Sanz, AICP of Cotleur & Hearing representative on behalf of the applicant, addressed the Board and reiterated the staff's presentation regarding the site location, wetland preservation, existing amenities, etc. She advised the site is currently commercial, buffering, surrounded by low-density residential areas, and the project aims to transition from high- intensity commercial to low-density housing. She mentioned significant community engagement has taken place throughout the project, with multiple meetings held to gather feedback. The community expressed a high demand for preserving wetlands and sensitive areas on the site. There was a consensus at the meeting that simple townhomes would be the most appropriate use for the site, with little support for commercial development. The final conceptual plan

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 7, 2025 6:00 PM 12 | P a g e considered most of the community's concerns, and a community member spoke at a Planning and Zoning Commission hearing to support the project. The proposed land use includes a split between FLUMA RM-9 (high-density residential) and RU (low-density residential) to provide a transitional zone. Approximately 8 acres are allocated to RM-9, with 26 acres to RU, allowing a maximum density of 5.8 dwelling units per acre totaling 200 dwelling units. The project aims to preserve 100% of the existing wetlands and replace exotic vegetation with native vegetation, improving the environmental quality of the area. The traffic impact of the proposed land use change is significant, with a reduction in daily trips from 24,000 to under 2,000 and a similar decrease in PM peak hour traffic from 2,300 to 200 trips. She highlighted that traffic is a major issue and a 34-acre commercial site will generate a significant amount of traffic that will impact the small area of White City. Several alternative development options were considered, including commercial by right, high-density residential apartments, and high-density single-family homes. The applicant has considered SB 102 Live Local low-income housing for up to 15 dwellings per acre. The final recommendation is medium-density fee simple townhomes, which were determined to be the best option after multiple iterations. She mentioned nearby commercial developments approved by the Board that may meet commercial needs without the impact of a large commercial site. She explained that the commercial would not be compatible with the area. The project aims to provide a transitional zone between high-intensity commercial areas and low- density residential areas, benefiting the surrounding community. Chair Fowler opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following people addressed the Board. • Jane Rowley • Courtney Santarella • Mike Jenkins • Craig Mason • Keith Pearson • Shaul Dali • Jeff Stafford • Alisa Vega With no one else wishing to address the Board, Chair Fowler closed the public hearing. Commissioner Lowry commented and expressed concern regarding the number of approved units in a five-mile radius, the need to listen to residents, and the importance of preserving the area of White City for future generations. Commissioner Townsend questioned the project timeline and status of Midway Road improvements completion. In response, Mr. Benton advised the FDOT schedule for the widening of Midway Road from Selvitz Road West to Milner is set to be completed in late 2026 or shortly thereafter. Patrick Dayan, Public Works Director, commented and added that in the 5-year FDOT work program the segment of Midway Road to 4-lane starting at Jenkins Road, over the Turnpike and

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 7, 2025 6:00 PM 13 | P a g e terminating at Glades Cut-Off Road matching the 4-lane section is projected for 2027. He also mentioned the future build-out of the Northern Turnpike interchange. He also explained the process of land use planning, site development permits, and the importance of maintaining historical drainage. Commissioner Leet expressed concerns about growth, density, traffic, and neighborhood impact and suggested alternative development options. Chair Fowler commented on the project's positives, such as wetland preservation and neighborhood outreach, but raised concern regarding the appropriate use of the property, infrastructure, and location, comparing it to other projects in the area. Commissioner Clasby commented that the property should remain commercial and expressed concerns regarding the potential impact of residential development. He mentioned the Live Local Act and its implications for future development, suggesting that the Board should stand strong against inappropriate projects and motioned to deny the future land use change. Commissioner Townsend asked the County Attorney to explain the Live Local Act. In response, County Attorney Dan McIntyre advised the Live Local Act was passed by the state legislature in response to an affordable housing crisis in the state as a strategy to assist with density, income streams, and commercial/residential developments. The law applies statewide. Commissioner Townsend asked if the project remains commercial if the applicant in under the Live Local Act and does low-income housing and builds the units. In response, Mr. McIntyre advised conceptionally that the Live Local Act would allow a commercial industrial area to convert to affordable housing. In addition, Mr. Benton advised with the designation of the property as commercial general it would be eligible for the Live Local Act and there would need to be a commitment to affordable housing and pursue up to 15 dwelling units per acre. This would be without a rezoning and a potential administrative staff-level action minor site plan evaluated by the development review committee. However, it would be required to comply with the local land development code and comprehensive plan for standards that would apply to the traditional site plan. Commissioner Clasby commented and advised he is not in agreement with the proposed PUD for the site. He stated there are too many units for the site and no reasonable spacing. He feels the most appropriate use of the site would be to continue the 2 units per acre on the properties adjacent to the existing residential and the sections closer to 25th Street and Midway Road of reasonably sized lots be commercial. He suggested denying the proposal and for the applicant to return with a more creative design that includes the existing pattern of development in the area while still having commercials adjacent to Midway Road and 25th Street. Commissioner Townsend commented and advised if the proposal was to be denied the proposal could not come back before the Board. She suggested tabling the decision to allow for further discussion and consideration. Commissioner Lowry expressed concern regarding the future education of youth in the County

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 7, 2025 6:00 PM 14 | P a g e and the need for more teachers to support growing schools with the new developments. She suggested other options that could be beneficial to the area (hair/nail salons, and other local businesses). She will be voting against the item. The Board discussed and commented on population growth, commercial/rooftop development, density, drainage, traffic, wetland preservation of the project, residential/public concerns, site location/design, existing project approvals/impacts, property rights, rezoning, schools/teachers, lot sizes/units per acre and tabling/denying the item. The Board debated the appropriateness of commercial versus residential development, considering the Live Local Act and its implications for affordable housing and compatibility with the community. In response to the Board discussion, Mariana Arias Sanz, AICP of Cotleur & Hearing representative on behalf of the applicant, respectfully requested for the item to be tabled to allow more discussion with her team and revisit it with the seller and the community to make it more compatible. Commissioner Townsend mentioned to the Board if the proposal was to be denied or tabled the next proposed public hearing item 10.B.3. would not be heard. Commissioner Clasby asked about the limitations of an application being modified before it became a new application. In response, Mr. Benton advised it would be based on the feedback of Planning & Zoning and the Board and the consistency with the comprehensive plan. Mr. Clasby mentioned he is not in favor of tabling the item and the applicant needs to return to the Board with a new application. He motioned to deny the proposal. The Board continued to discuss and express concerns about the advantages and disadvantages of tabling or denying the proposed item. With no further questions from the Board, a motion was made to deny the item. A motion was made to deny staff recommendations, and upon roll call passed (3) to (2). RESULT: DENY MOVER: Commissioner District 1 James Clasby SECONDER: Commissioner District 3 Erin Lowry AYES: Jamie Fowler, James Clasby, Erin Lowry NAYS: Larry Leet, Cathy Townsend EXCUSED: None County Attorney, Dan McIntyre confirmed that the motion to deny passed with a (3) to (2) vote, meaning the next item 10.

P-1 Motor Club Planned Mixed Use Development (PMUD) Rezoning & Preliminary Plan - THIS ITEM IS QUASI-JUDICIAL - ITEM AMENDED This public hearing was Quasi-Judicial, and the commissioners made the following disclosures regarding this item: Commissioner Jamie Fowler - Spoke with staff and the applicants. Commissioner Larry Leet- Spoke with staff and the applicants. Commissioner James Clasby - Spoke with staff, the applicants, and the public. Commissioner Erin Lowry - Spoke with staff and the applicants. Chair Cathy Townsend - Spoke with Ari Straus and wife, attorney Adam Fetterman, owners of Evans Property's, staff, and resident. Thad Crowe, Senior Planner, and Kori Benton, Planning Manager of Planning & Development Services presented this item to the Board. The P1 Motor Club (P1MC) proposed a petition to rezone a parcel from Agricultural-5 (AG-5) to Planned Mixed Use District (PMUD). The PMUD would implement the P1MC Special District (SD) adopted by the Board on November 7, 2023. The adoption would allow a private mixed-use motorsports club and community. Following the requirements for public notice, a public hearing notice was published in the local newspaper, signs were displayed on the subject property, and notices were sent by mail. The property is in the rural central/western County, on the south side of Okeechobee Road (SR 70), 4.6 miles west of the intersection of Midway Road and 3.8 miles outside the Urban Service Boundary. The land is formerly citrus, and now mostly undeveloped. The special district divided the property into four areas that include a primary circuit/off-road circuit (track), garagemahals, single-family detached or attached residences, clubhouse, and resort amenities. Also, it includes a karting track, skid pad, event center, drive center, research & development park, and an auto-launch control pad. The special district established standards to retain a certain character and prevent urban sprawl, including a maximum impervious surface of 50% and maximum building height restrictions of 8%, a maximum building height of 45%, and track minimum setback of 200 ft. from the north and east the property lines. The buffers exceed the requirement up to 80 ft. along Okeechobee Road. Open space exceeds the required 35% minimum, and a traffic threshold of 200,000 sq. ft. (ground-level) of garagemahals has been set to trigger a traffic analysis. Up to 900,000 sq. ft. ground level of garagemahals are allowed. The special district is designed to be comprehensive, with guardrails to guide development into the land development stage. P1 Motor Club (P1MC) is not a racetrack, it is a private motorsports club with amenities such as clubhouses, gyms, sports facilities, and event centers. Staff advised the garagemahals cannot be homesteaded and most space must be used for car storage. Exterior lighting will be minimized to maintain dark skies, and each use type has

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 7, 2025 6:00 PM 17 | P a g e maximum square footage. The density allows for 125 units with overnight guest accommodations including garagemahals units, and up to 25 (separate) guest accommodations. The collective accommodation occupied on any night may not exceed 125 units. The special district requires a public safety plan, which includes specific measures for emergencies and accidents. Noise impacts are addressed through site measures like landscape features and vegetation, with special district noise standards of 108 decibels for members and 106 decibels for guests at 50 ft. away from the point source. The P1MC is exempt from the standard Noise Ordinance, subject to special district noise restrictions unless waived by Special Events approval. There will be 400,000 sq. ft. of automotive-related research and development office park and 225,000 sq. ft. of additional vehicle storage. The proposal is similar to concepts of the New York Monticello Motor Club and the Tampa Motor Enclave. The site plan shows the layout of the district, including amenities like dog parks, sports parks, and event logs. The northern buffer along Okeechobee Road is extensive, with a width of 80 ft. and a 28 ft plant width setback to the east, constituting over 35% of the site. Stormwater comprises 86 acres/ 13.6% of the site. Special events are classified as major and minor, with major events requiring public notice and on-site standards. The P1MC can have up to 10 special events per year such as races, exhibitions, and training exercises, the event cannot be open to the general public essentially by invitation only. Minor events require public notice and can proceed without additional approval of the Board if there are no legitimate complaints. If at least three legitimate complaints are received the next minor special event would need the Board's approval. The project conforms to the comprehensive plan's standards, promoting use and incompatibility, and protecting the environment. The applicant will run their private utility system (water/sewer), with no impact on county taxpayers, and will plant trees to offset carbon emissions. The project is expected to create jobs and generate significant property improvement, county revenues, and property taxes. Traffic impacts are substantial, with Okeechobee Road having available capacity, and the project will not overwhelm it. The daily trips are estimated to be around 5,000, with peak-hour trips consuming about 40% of Okeechobee Road's capacity. The project is around 8 miles from Fire Station 11 on Shin Road, and the applicant will donate a site for a future fire station within five years. Emergency response guidelines include tools like water trucks, fire trucks, and two-way radios to address incidents quickly. The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) reviewed the project, finding no wetlands or heavily impacted farmland, and a considerable tree planting program will offset environmental impacts. The project will require agency surveys for species like alligators and sandhill cranes, and buffers will minimize noise along with vegetation and planning. Staff recommended approval of the P1MC PMUD with the following conditions which will apply along with the adopted Future Land Use Element Special District policies: 1. Prior to commencement of development, including, but not limited to clearing, filling, excavation, grading, or planting of vegetation, as defined in LDC 2.00.00, listed species surveys, including but not limited to crested caracara, gopher tortoise, and wading bird surveys, shall be updated as necessary per individual species-specific requirements or written correspondence stating any potential impacts have been resolved from the appropriate state and federal agency. If any listed species impacts are found to be present as a result of these updated surveys,

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 7, 2025 6:00 PM 18 | P a g e appropriate mitigative measures per state and federal agency requirements shall be provided prior to initiation of any clearing activities. 2. Prior to Major Site Plan approval, provide a finalized landscape plan that includes the following adjustments to the preliminary plan: a. Depict a minimum ten (10) ft. wide landscape buffer and associated plantings along the southwestern perimeter that runs parallel to the proposed dirt track in accordance with LDC 7.09.04.B. b. Relocate the chain-link fence proposed along the northern perimeter ten (10) to fifteen (15) ft. from the property line to allow for all required landscaping to lie on the outside (streetside) of the fence in accordance with LDC 7.09.04.A.6. 3. Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, all Category I listed invasive plants shall be eradicated from the site. 4. The Final Site Plan will meet the minimum requirements of LDC Sec. 7.05.04.A.3., which requires a width of five feet for sidewalks, and Sec. 7.05.04.B.4., which requires a width of four feet for bicycle lanes. 5. The P1MC shall measure carbon dioxide emissions and offset these emissions with tree planting as described in the Racecar On-Track Use CO2 Impact and Offset Commitments document. 6. The P1MC shall develop an emergency response program as outlined in the Emergency Response Guidelines for Vehicle Track Activities. 7. The Final Site Plan must meet Community Architectural Standards, set forth in LDC Sec. 7.10.24. 8. For plat approval prior to completion of required improvements, a Subdivision Improvement Agreement and appropriate bonding is required. 9. Summerlin Road is identified on the County’s Right-Of-Way Protection Plan. A ROW Dedication of 15 feet in width from the subject property along this road will be required. Within 90 days of developmental approval, the applicant, property owner, developer, successors, or assigns, shall convey to St. Lucie County, in a manner or form acceptable to the County Attorney, the Summerlin Rd. right-of-way, as determined by the Public Works Department. 10. A Site Development Permit is required prior to performing site improvement activities 11. FDOT permitting is required for internal street access to Okeechobee Road 12. A Road Improvement Agreement and appropriate bond will be required for all permanent improvements within the Right-of-Way. NEW RECOMMENDED CONDITION: 13. Special Events are classified as either Minor or Major, with both providing required and courtesy (mailer) notice, and Major Special Events requiring review and approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Should there be three or more complaints about a Minor Special Event, with the legitimacy of such complaints confirmed by Staff, the next Minor Special Event shall require review and approval by the Board, which shall also determine if future Special Event(s) require such approval.

PUBLIC WORKS 1. County Staff Initiated Land Development Code Text Amendment to Update the Mining Permit Exemption Process (LDC Section 11.05.11.A) - ADOPTION HEARING Daniel Zrallack, County Engineer, presented the proposed adoption of the County-initiated mining permit exemption land development code text amendment. The public hearing notice was properly noticed according to requirements. This is the second public hearing held for this item. Staff advised mining is defined as any activity that entails the excavation or removal of the earth of more than 100 cubic yards from one (1) parcel of property to another parcel of property, or from one (1) area of a parcel of property to another area on the same parcel if a public road is used. Staff explained the difference between mining permits and mining permit exemptions. Commercial Mines go through the mining permit process and everything else is a mining permit exemption. There are requirements for exemptions Land Development Code Section 11.05.11 A.2., outlines activities that are exempt from the mining permit requirement, including an exemption for the removal of material for development in which the material is being excavated to provide on-site stormwater management. Section 11.05.11. grants the Board permission to grant an exemption when material is being excavated associated with on-site development. Removal of over 100 cubic yards requires a public hearing (5 dump truck loads). There has to be a review and evaluation of applications for standards in Section11.07.03 the effects on adjacent properties with no undue adverse effect on adjacent properties; compatible; minimize any adverse effect; not to interfere with the development and use of neighboring property. Prior meetings have been held regarding the text amendment on May 14, 2024. The Board directed staff to proceed with a text amendment to allow for an Administrative Approval process for Mining Permit Exemptions when a land development project has less than 30,000 cubic yards of surplus material that needs to be hauled offsite. Applications for over 30,000 cubic yards will maintain the public hearing requirement. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the Board approve the amendments on October 17, 2024, which were discussed in the first public hearing on December 3, 2024. The proposed amendment creates an administrative approval process for material removal under 30,000 cubic yards. With or without the public hearing the evaluation of the project remains the same and the County Engineer can request additional clarifying information, approval, approval with conditions, or deny the

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 7, 2025 6:00 PM 20 | P a g e application. Staff provided examples of recent exemption requests including the Azalea project (250 truckloads/5,000 cubic yards) and the Creekside project (900,000 cubic yards/45,000 truckloads). Developers often request off-site volume removal to avoid on-site issues, leading to increased administrative requests. The administrative approval process will still follow the same evaluation process, just without the public hearing. There must be no undue adverse effects on adjacent properties. The evaluation process for administrative approvals includes assessing water effects, hauling routes, hours of operation, and bonding for potential roadway damage, etc. This may require the developer to host a community meeting to get feedback on concerns. The administrative process is similar to planning development, with monthly evaluations for new applications. Staff recommended the Board vote to adopt the County Initiated Text Amendment to the Land Development Code (LDC) to update the Mining Permit Exemption Process to increase the threshold for applications that must enter the public hearing process for consideration by the Board from 100 cubic yards to 30,000 cubic yards. Small and medium-sized projects that haul below 30,000 cubic yards offsite would be administratively approved. Commissioner Clasby asked if a developer who has 2 applications at different times totaling over 30,000 cubic yards would the developer be eligible for a second exemption. In response, Mr. Zrallack advised yes, that it could be separated and accepted as a phased project. They do not look at the total of the development at once only what they are proposing to haul at once. The staff evaluates the whole project. 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. The Board did not have any further questions or comments on this item. A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, and it passed unanimously.

South County Utilities Road Paving Waiver - Peacock Road Kori Benton, Planning & Development Services Planning Manager, and Grant Chambers, County Senior Project Engineer, presented this item to the Board. Following the requirements for public notice, a public hearing notice was published in the local newspaper, signs were displayed on the subject property, and notices were sent by mail. The site is located 2 miles south of Okeechobee Road (SR70) on the east side of Peacock Road, within the Utilities Zoning District (U). The 35-acre

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 7, 2025 6:00 PM 21 | P a g e site plan is for the development of a water treatment plant for County Utilities. The zone is surrounded by Agricultural-5 (AG-5) property, an undeveloped area, fairgrounds to the north, agricultural air services, and two single-family homes near the site. Peacock Road is a County owned and maintained, but unimproved roadway and is a substandard Right-of-Way that will require dedication from the County. The unpaved nature of Peacock Road will be addressed with a chip-sealed section through the fairgrounds transitioning to a rock-based roadway. The assessment in the road paving waiver petition highlighted that the total cost to improve Peacock Road to the project site is over $2.5 Million, with a proportionate fair share contribution for this site of $204,457.53. The request of St. Lucie County Utilities and representatives of Kimley-Horn is that the Board grant a waiver of both the paver requirement for the project requiring site plan approval and the waiver of the proportionate fair share. There will be limited traffic activity and approximately 20 daily trips from the two residential units south of the site. Traffic generation estimates for the project are around 10-25 daily trips during and after construction. The existing section of the road is approximately 17-18 ft. wide, while a standard County roadway would be about 22 ft. in width for asphalt. The site plan and small-scale traffic generator are considered for waiving paving requirements. The site plan and small-scale traffic generator are considered for waiving paving requirements. Staff provided an overview of three standards: for the Board to consider: one of the road paving is not essential, road paving is part of a County’s five-year improvement program, or the access road does have adequate right-of-way in accordance with County standards. The applicant is petitioning under standard one that the road paving is not essential to provide adequate access to the proposed development and through the surrounding areas. The existing development includes two residential homes built in the last five years, and the operational traffic for the water plant is minimal. The staff has reviewed the request and recommended providing a conditional waiver for the paving requirements and provision of fair share contribution. Consistent with previous Board actions, staff recommends a condition that the current and future owners and their heirs/assigns agree to participate and shall be a “yes” vote in any lawfully established Municipal Services Taxing Unit, Municipal Services Benefit Unit, or other special assessment district created for the purpose of providing paving and/or drainage improvements to Peacock Road. 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. The Board did not have any questions or comments on this item. A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, and it passed unanimously.

North County Utilities Road Paving Waiver - Taylor Dairy Road Kori Benton, Planning & Development Services Planning Manager, and Grant Chambers, County Senior Project Engineer, presented the proposed site plan for developing a water treatment plant on 37 acres of County-owned land to the Board. Following the requirements for public notice, a public hearing notice was published in the local newspaper, signs were displayed on the subject property, and notices were sent by mail. The site is located a quarter of a mile south of Indrio Road on the east side of Taylor Dairy Road. The site is zoned Utilities (U) and is located at the northern boundary of the Treasure Coast International Airport. Taylor Dairy Road is a County- owned and maintained, but unimproved roadway. The proportionate fair share contribution in lieu of paving for Taylor Dairy Road, for this site, is $307,134.29. The petition requests the waving of the paving requirements of Taylor Dairy Road from Indrio Road south of the site and the proportionate fair share contribution. Staff highlighted that the final site plan for the Indrio Woods PUD project committed to 1,300 ft. improvements to their project boundary. The existing conditions of the site include a narrow dirt road that serves two residential homes and has a culvert crossing from Canal-3. The anticipated daily trips after
