Luis Aguilar, principal planner in the Growth Management Department, told the board the parcel sits at the southwest corner of South Canner Highway and Southwest Salerno Road and that the previously executed Conner Square PUD zoning agreement from July 1, 2008, had expired. Aguilar said the underlying future land-use designation is commercial general and that staff found rezoning to the General Commercial District consistent with the comprehensive plan and adjacent commercial development.

Bill Barbaro of Bowman Consulting, representing the applicant, said the rezoning request will allow a single commercial establishment rather than the multiple-establishment layout the prior PUD contemplated. He said the previous PUD timetable had expired and the property remains undeveloped.

During public comment, neighbors expressed concerns about traffic, loss of a natural habitat area at the site frontage, noise and dust during construction, and asked for a substantial wall or buffer between future development and adjacent residential yards. One resident, identified as Cecilia Cleveland, said, \"My biggest concern when they develop that property is access to the roads because right now it's so congested.\" Randy Cleveland asked for a \"DOT wall or something similar ... to block the noise.\" Aguilar and staff clarified that the hearing was for rezoning only and that specific development proposals, traffic analysis, buffer/wall requirements and landscape mitigation would be addressed during subsequent site-plan and development-review processes under the county’s land development regulations (LDRs).

Aguilar explained that the PUD agreement—Conner Square PUD executed in 2008—had expired and that two standard zoning districts are available to implement the commercial general future land use: Community Commercial and General Commercial. The applicant requested General Commercial.

After questions from commissioners about district differences and confirmation that required notice and affidavits were filed, a motion to approve the requested rezoning passed by unanimous voice vote. The board’s approval was limited to the zoning map amendment; future development proposals will require separate site-plan review and may trigger additional public hearings depending on use and scale.

The transcript records that past PUD plans included proposed uses such as a bank with drive-through and a 7,000-square-foot retail building; staff said those approvals and timetables have expired. Staff also said LDR standards typically address walls and buffers adjacent to residential property and that specific mitigation requirements will be assessed during future development review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Local Planning Agency - June 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Local Planning Agency unanimously approved a rezoning request to change an expired Conner Square PUD area to General Commercial District for a 2.97-acre undeveloped parcel at the southwest corner of South Canner Highway and Southwest Salerno Road; staff said the rezoning is consistent with the future land-use designation.","taxTitle","Martin County, Florida","taxId",12775,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6212991,"Martin County LPA OKs revised final site plan for Parrot Circle storage facility",870,940000,1810000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3682691-04384ae15027977b70a7ffbacbde947d&start=940&end=1810","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3682691-04384ae15027977b70a7ffbacbde947d/thumbnail_940000.jpg","/articles/6212991/Martin-County/Florida/Martin-County-LPA-OKs-revised-final-site-plan-for-Parrot-Circle-storage-facility","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6212991-5187d9b70fb219669925a07c02bcbe8c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771040704&Signature=i3TVdDth-mt3OA9nzoB9mx7SGRlQloFDREMJJN-df6XjRczQWgweQf6fYybzcaAv2iTkovEu80A~8nUt5-7bSPVtMUmgp4lL6r~o8xi6WQNVFhtPuUTuW7ABBIDYSP~RAeK7kCwtucKFi3ioFjn9IvsQkhaGgnggf3Xzi0r9XvVmRzCgamryyIgBqxk0wPc5dW8stjh3Jijb6IhwIzO~1fvJLFLGeeeqY4bePxTKxhE3S-DHkudvAcdUlxYgqumzJEAsLM2tYzPoF301L2G5mupUbmCaqbPRWH~waB2li-qpVoKW25FkuIpONBvv6eA7I94~EBEN2WYRX2C72trnuw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Martin County Local Planning Agency unanimously approved a revised major final site plan on June 5 for a two-story self-storage facility proposed at 450 Southeast Parrot Circle in Stuart.

Staff presented the application as compliant with the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan and recommended approval. Brian Elam, principal planner with the Growth Management Department, told the board the application by HJA Design Studio LLC on behalf of Land America 225 LLC proposes a two-story, climate-controlled self storage building with associated infrastructure on roughly 4.5 acres of an 11.1-acre parcel and includes a request for a certificate of public facilities reservation.

The application matters locally because the site fronts South Canner Highway and abuts preserved wetlands and upland preserve areas that are managed under an existing preserve area management plan (PAMP). The PAMP and previously established buffers remain in place, the planner said, and staff found the revised plan complies with applicable regulations and the county’s comprehensive plan.

Elam said the site was previously approved in 2012 as a 57-lot recreational vehicle park and that a mandatory rezoning in December 2022 placed the parcel’s low-density portion into an RS-3 district. He told the board the proposed development sits entirely within the community commercial–zoned portion of the property and is accessed from Southeast Parrot Circle.

Erica Beitler, the applicant’s agent with HJA Design Studio, presented the project and described the site design. Beitler said the proposed building footprint is 59,932 square feet and the project would preserve about \"77% of the site in open space,\" much of which is wetland, buffer and stormwater area. She also said tenant parking and about 20 outdoor RV/trailer parking spaces are provided in a gated northern area and that the building would include an elevator and ADA-compliant features.

Staff and the applicant described architectural and setback details that the planner said meet Article 4, Division 20 commercial design standards, and showed that building height (30 feet, 6 inches) and coverage (about 12%) fall within allowed limits. Elam confirmed there are no proposed changes to the preserve areas or to the preserve area management plan with this application.

No interveners appeared and no public commenters spoke on the item. After brief board questions about the number and location of RV parking spaces and the presence of an elevator, a commissioner moved to approve the revised final site plan; the motion passed unanimously.

The approval was for the site-plan application only; subsequent development permits and any required infrastructure permits will be reviewed under separate procedures and must demonstrate compliance with buffering, wetland protection, landscaping and traffic requirements at the time of those applications.

Clarifying details captured in the meeting record show two different numeric references to building area: staff’s summary and the applicant’s presentation both reference the 59,932-square-foot footprint and the applicant separately described \"overall\" area as \"about 19,000 to 20,000 square feet\" during the presentation. The transcript contains both figures; the precise finished-gross-floor-area to be used for building-permit calculations was not specified at the hearing.","The Martin County Local Planning Agency unanimously approved a revised final site plan for a two-story self-storage facility at 450 Southeast Parrot Circle after staff recommended the application met applicable regulations and no interveners appeared.","actionData","errors"]
