Port St. Lucie council approves suite of land-use ordinances and resolutions
Summary
At its February meeting the Port St. Lucie City Council approved multiple second-reading ordinances and resolutions, including land-use amendments for the Sandpiper Bay Resort, a parks impact-fee increase for Torino Regional Park, and several impact-fee true-up agreements and MOUs.
The Port St. Lucie City Council voted to approve a package of ordinances and resolutions at its regular meeting, adopting multiple land-use and administrative measures and ratifying intergovernmental agreements.
Council approved second readings of several ordinances that change zoning and development approvals, including Ordinance 26-09, a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment to reclassify approximately 28.6 acres at 3500 Southeast Morningside Boulevard to commercial/general/institutional, and Ordinance 26-16, the second planned unit development amendment for the Sandpiper Bay Resort. The council also approved Ordinances 26-13 (updates to the City land-conversion manual), 26-14 (first amendment to the Verano South PUD), and 26-15 (a master sign program for TownePlace). The transcript does not provide roll-call tallies for these votes; each motion was seconded and recorded as "motion carries."
In resolutions, the council adopted Resolution 26-R-08, approving a first amendment to the Parks Impact Fee Funding Agreement with the county for Torino Regional Park; during discussion a council member thanked the county for adding an additional $1,000,000 to its commitment for Torino. The council also approved Resolution 26-R-09 (an MOU with the United Way to manage disaster donations), Resolution 26-R-10 and 26-R-11 (true-up agreements on road impact fee credits with Devasta Homes LP for Veranda Gardens phases), and Resolution 26-R-13 (authorization to administratively settle non-covered claims).
Notably, the council ratified Resolution 26-R-12, the third addendum to the 2018 School Resource Officer (SRO) Memorandum of Understanding between the Port St. Lucie Police Department and the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office; the ratification drew brief discussion over reimbursement levels (see separate article).
What happens next: The ordinances and resolutions passed at second reading will take effect according to their codified effective dates and administrative steps; the record in the transcript notes motions and approvals but does not provide detailed vote tallies.
