BCC Transmittal December 11, 2018 Board voted to change the parcel to General Commercial future land use BCC Adoption February 12, 2019 Board voted to adopt the amendment, changing the parcel from the dual designation of General Commercial and General Institutional to General Commercial SITE LOCATION: The parcel is located on 977 NE Dixie Hwy., in the Rio Community Redevelopment Area. APPLICANT REQUEST: Board of County Commissioners has initiated a comprehensive plan amendment to change the future land use designation from General Commercial and General Institutional to solely General Commercial. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends future land use change on the property from General Commercial and General Institutional to solely General Commercial. 5 of 92 Page 2 of 16 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The 0.28 acre property is located on NE Dixie Hwy. in the Rio Community Redevelopment Area and is shown below, highlighted in red (Figure 1). Figure 1 On September 25, 2017, the Community Redevelopment Agency voted to request that the Board of County Commissioners initiate a land use amendment for the property. On January 9th, 2018, a draft Request for Proposals for the sale and redevelopment of the subject property along with a request for the Board of County Commissioners to initiate an amendment to change the future land use designation of the property was submitted. In response, the Board of County Commissioners initiated a Future Land Use Map Amendment to the future land use designation of 977 NE Dixie Highway from General Commercial and General Institutional to solely General Commercial. This staff report will consider potential future land use designations consistent with the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan (CGMP) and compatible with the surrounding properties. The staff analysis will consider the General Commercial future land use designation. 6 of 92 Page 3 of 16 1. PROJECT/SITE SUMMARY 1.1. Physical/Site Summary The subject property is 0.28 acre (12,196 sq. ft.). It is currently an undeveloped vacant lot. NE Dixie Hwy. has a 50-ft. right-of-way. The parcel is within the following: Planning District: North County. Adjacent Planning District: Stuart Urban. Commission District: District 1. Taxing District: District 1 Municipal Service Taxing Unit. 1.2 Major Roadways The major roadways closest to the subject parcel are NE Dixie Hwy., upon which the parcel is located. 1.3. Current Amendment Requests CPA 18- 8, Fire Station 10: A request to change the future land use designation on a 0.34 acre property from General Institutional to a more appropriate future land use designation. It was declared as surplus property by the Board of County Commissioners. CPA 18-9, Reserve Area No.1, Plat of Leilani Heights Phase 1: A request to change the future land use designation on a 3.4 acre property from Low Density Residential to the most appropriate future land use designation. It was declared as surplus property by the Board of Commissioners, like the Fire Station 10 property. CPA 18-15, Jensen Beach Impoundment: A county-initiated request to change the future land use designation on 10± acres from Medium Density Residential to Public Conservation. 1.4. Past Changes in Future Land Use Designations There have been few changes in the surrounding area. Since adoption of the Comprehensive Growth Management Plan in 1982, only two amendments to the FLUM have occurred in the immediate area. See Figure 2. The two amendments are summarized below. A. CPA 2002-6, IBSCO changed the future land use from Low Density Residential to Industrial on 3.64 acres located northwest of Savannah Road. B. CPA 2003-5, Rio Industrial Center changed the future land use from General Commercial to Industrial on 9.78 acres located on N.E. Dixie Highway. C. CPA 01-9, The most substantial amendment affecting this property and the surrounding properties was the adoption of CPA 01-9 on December 11, 2001. It created a Mixed Use Overlay on the Future Land Use Map in each of seven Community Redevelopment Areas. 7 of 92 Page 4 of 16 Figure 2 1.5. Adjacent Future Land Use North: Industrial. South: Limited Commercial. East: General Commercial. West: General Commercial. 1.6. Environmental Considerations 1.6.1. Wetlands, soils and hydrology The soil on the site is Salerno sand, according to South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). See figure 3. A survey from United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) states: “The Salerno series consists of very deep, poorly drained, very slowly permeable soils on the flatwoods of Peninsular Florida. They formed in sandy marine sediments. Near the type location, the mean annual temperature is about 72 degrees F., and the mean annual precipitation is about 55 inches. Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent.” (National Cooperative Soil Survey, May 2004). The highlighted parcels in navy blue outline are the two amended parcels. The highlighted pink is the Dixie Rio subject property. The Rio Mixed Use Overlay is represented in green 8 of 92 Page 5 of 16 Figure 3 The composite wetlands map shows a very low probability of wetlands on the site. See figure 4. Figure 4 1.6.2. Wellfield protection The following is a description of the presence of existing wellfields proximate to the site and applicable wellfield protection measures. The property is not within wellfield protection zone 1 or 2. It is not significantly near any wellfield protection zones either. See Figure 5. The subject property is highlighted in purple. Figure 5 9 of 92 Page 6 of 16 The project will be evaluated for wellfield requirements during the County’s Development Review process. If groundwater or surface water withdrawals are proposed for irrigation, then the applicant will be required to submit additional information at the development review stage and submit a South Florida Water Management District Water Use Permit. 1.7. Adjacent Existing Uses Below is a summary of the existing adjacent land uses in the general vicinity of the subject property: North – 7.83 acres of warehouse South – Rio St. Lucie Plaza, 1.69 acres East – Vacant 5.77 acre lot West - 1 acre lot, residential use 2. ANALYSIS 2.1. Criteria for a Future Land Use Amendment (Section 1-11 CGMP) In evaluating each Future Land Use Map amendment request or a text amendment request which changes an allowable use of land for a specific parcel, staff begins with the assumption that the Future Land Use Map, as amended, is generally an accurate representation of the intent of the Board of County Commissioners, and thus the community, for the future of Martin County. Based on this assumption, staff can recommend approval of a requested change provided it is consistent with all other elements of this Plan and at least one of the following three situations has been demonstrated by the applicant to exist. If staff cannot make a positive finding regarding any of the items in (a) through (c), along with a determination of consistency with all Plan goals, objectives, and policies and the requirements of this chapter, staff shall recommend denial. (a) Past changes in land use designations in the general area make the proposed use logical and consistent with these uses and adequate public services are available and growth in the area – in terms of development of vacant land, redevelopment and availability of public services – has altered the character of the area such that the proposed request is now reasonable and consistent with area land use characteristics; or There have been only two changes in land use designation in the immediate area. Development on the lands in the immediate area has been consistent with the adopted Future Land Use Map. (b) The proposed change would correct an inappropriately assigned land use designation; or Yes, it would. Currently the subject property has a dual future land use designation of both General Commercial and General Institutional, and so a FLUM amendment is necessary to make the parcel have a single future land use designation. Changing the entire parcel to General Commercial can allow the parcel to be utilized for appropriate uses and permit use of the property by a private entity. It would also make the site more consistent with the surrounding properties on NE Dixie Hwy. (c) The proposed change is a County initiated amendment that would correct a public 10 of 92 Page 7 of 16 facility deficiency in a County facility that provides for the health, safety or general welfare of County residents and cannot otherwise be adequately provided in a cost effective manner at locations where the proposed land use is currently consistent with the CGMP. Not applicable. The property is County owned, specifically belonging to the Community Redevelopment Agency. The Martin County Board of Commissioners initiated the future land use amendment. However, it would not correct a public facility deficiency. 2.2. Urban Sprawl Florida Statute 163.3177(3)(a)9. states that any amendment to the future land use element shall discourage the proliferation of urban sprawl and provides thirteen indicators to judge whether a future land use amendment discourages the proliferation of urban sprawl. Urban sprawl is defined as a development pattern characterized by low density, automobile- dependent development with either a single use or multiple uses that are not functionally related, requiring the extension of public facilities and services in an inefficient manner, and failing to provide a clear separation between urban and rural uses. Florida Statute provides an additional eight criteria, of which four must be met, in order to judge whether an amendment can be determined to discourage the proliferation of urban sprawl. An evaluation of the thirteen indicators for urban sprawl and a determination on the eight criteria for this future land use request follows: (I) Promotes, allows, or designates for development substantial areas of the jurisdiction to develop as low-intensity, low-density, or single-use development or uses. No, the site is integrated within the urban areas. The site and the proposed change do not promote areas to develop as low-intensity or encourage urban sprawl. Criterion met. (II) Promotes, allows, or designates significant amounts of urban development to occur in rural areas at substantial distances from existing urban areas while not using undeveloped lands that are available and suitable for development. No, this site is within the Primary Urban Service District. Criterion met. (III) Promotes, allows, or designates urban development in radial, strip, isolated, or ribbon patterns generally emanating from existing urban developments. No, the site is integrated within commercial and urban areas and the proposed change will not promote to development occurring in such patterns. Criterion met. (IV) Fails to adequately protect and conserve natural resources, such as wetlands, floodplains, native vegetation, environmentally sensitive areas, natural groundwater aquifer recharge areas, lakes, rivers, shorelines, beaches, bays, estuarine systems, and other significant natural systems. No, the site does not appear to contain any wetlands and contains only 12,196 square feet. It is also not near or within any wellfield protection zones. Criterion met. 11 of 92 Page 8 of 16 (V) Fails to adequately protect adjacent agricultural areas and activities, including silviculture, active agricultural and silvicultural activities, passive agricultural activities, and dormant, unique, and prime farmlands and soils. No, this site is within the primary urban service district. Criterion met. (VI) Fails to maximize use of existing public facilities and services. No, the proposed change would encourage development of the site and use existing public facilities and services. Criterion met. (VII) Fails to maximize use of future public facilities and services. No, the proposed change would encourage the redevelopment of the site and maximize the use of future public facilities and services. Criterion met. (VIII) Allows for land use patterns or timing which disproportionately increase the cost in time, money, and energy of providing and maintaining facilities and services, including roads, potable water, sanitary sewer, stormwater management, law enforcement, education, health care, fire and emergency response, and general government. No, this site has adequate utilities, water/sewer systems and will not demand an extra increase in cost/time towards that. Criterion met. (IX) Fails to provide a clear separation between rural and urban uses. No, this site does not fail to do that. Criterion met. (X) Discourages or inhibits infill development or the redevelopment of existing neighborhoods and communities. No, this site is part of an existing commercial area and is located on Rio, a Martin County Community Redevelopment Area. Criterion met. (XI) Fails to encourage a functional mix of uses. No, the proposed change does not fail to encourage a functional mix of uses. The site is located in an urban area in proximity to other commercial lands and nearby residential lands. Criterion met. (XII) Results in poor accessibility among linked or related land uses. No, this site and the proposed FLUM change do not result in poor accessibility and rather, it provides good accessibility. The proposed change will not result in changes to the road network and proposes commercial land in proximity to other commercial lands. Criterion met. (XIII) Results in the loss of significant amounts of functional open space. No, the proposed change to the site will not result in any loss of public open space. Criterion met. The site complies with all 13 sprawl criteria listed above. 12 of 92 Page 9 of 16 2.2.1. Proliferation of Urban Sprawl In order for the application to be determined to discourage the proliferation of urban sprawl, the amendment must incorporate development patterns or urban forms that achieve four or more of the following: (I) Directs or locates economic growth and associated land development to geographic areas of the community in a manner that does not have an adverse impact on and protects natural resources and ecosystems. Yes, the natural resources and ecosystems are not negatively impacted due to this site. The proposed change would locate commercial development in the Primary Urban Service District and in proximity to other commercial lands. Development of the site will not impact existing habitat. Criterion met. (II) Promotes the efficient and cost-effective provision or extension of public infrastructure and services. Redevelopment of this site will not require the extension of public infrastructure and services outside the Primary Urban Service District. The proposed amendment would allow for private entities to utilize the land effectively, providing an efficient and cost-effective development process. Criterion met. (III) Promotes walkable and connected communities and provides for compact development and a mix of uses at densities and intensities that will support a range of housing choices and a multimodal transportation system, including pedestrian, bicycle, and transit, if available. The proposed General Commercial future land use would permit commercial usage in a walkable distance from other commercial lands and residential areas. The proposed amendment may allow residents within the nearby community to access retail/commercial at a walking distance. However, the proposed changes are not significant enough to impact housing. Criterion met. (IV) Promotes conservation of water and energy. Yes, this site will promote that. Redevelopment of this existing site will not require the extension of public infrastructure and services outside the Primary Urban Service District. The site is only 0.28 acres, and future developments to it will not result in overconsumption of water and energy. Criterion met. (V) Preserves agricultural areas and activities, including silviculture, and dormant, unique, and prime farmlands and soils. Yes, this site and the proposed FLUM change will not hinder such activities. Criterion met. (VI) Preserves open space and natural lands and provides for public open space and recreation needs. Yes, this site will do that. Development of this site will not result in any loss of public open space and will not negatively impact natural lands. Criterion met. (VII) Creates a balance of land uses based upon demands of residential population for the nonresidential needs of an area. 13 of 92 Page 10 of 16 The proposed FLUM change will allow the site to be developed and utilized for commercial purposes, which entails retail and other commercial needs from which the nearby residential population can benefit. Criterion met. (VIII) Provides uses, densities, and intensities of use and urban form that would remediate an existing or planned development pattern in the vicinity that constitutes sprawl or if it provides for an innovative development pattern such as transit-oriented developments or new towns as defined in s. 163.3164. Not applicable. The proposed future land use designation will allow intensities of use and urban form that are consistent with the existing and planned development pattern in the vicinity. However, it does not constitute sprawl because it is located well within the Primary Urban Service District and is consistent with the adopted Future Land Use map. The proposed change does not involve development patterns for new towns defined in s. 163.3164. Of the eight criteria listed above, seven of the criteria have been met to determine the application discourages urban sprawl. 2.3 Land Use Compatibility Currently, the subject property has a dual future land use designation of both General Commercial and General Institutional, and so the Community Redevelopment Agency is requesting the parcel’s future land use designation to be changed to solely General Commercial. The following analysis will consider the potential future land use designation: General Commercial. The General Commercial future land use designation would be compatible with the General Commercial parcels to the west and east of the subject parcel. It would also be compatible with the parcels to the south, which have the Limited Commercial future land use designation. The parcels north of the subject site have the Industrial future land use designation, which would also be compatible with the subject property if it becomes General Commercial. A portion of the subject parcel is already designated as General Commercial and so making the entire parcel into General Commercial could eliminate the current dual designation and unify the parcel’s future land use. Minimum open space for General Commercial is only 20% while General Institutional has a minimum 40% open space requirement and the uses permitted are restrictive, only allowing certain uses such as public and not-for-profit facilities. Along with these factors, it is important to note that the subject parcel is only 0.28 acres and so changing it to General Commercial, as requested by the CRA, would be appropriate. Implementing commercial future land use The CGMP states the following regarding implementing commercial future land use designations. “Objective 4.10B. To consider the space requirements and location of commercial development and its impact on a community when assigning commercial future land use designations. 14 of 92 Page 11 of 16 Policy 4.10B.1. Criteria for commercial land use designation. The following criteria, at a minimum, shall be used for assigning a commercial land use designation at a given location on the Future Land Use Map: (1) Trip generation characteristics; impact on existing and planned transportation facilities; and ability to achieve functional internal circulation and a landscaped parking area. (2) Specific needs of commercial activities, such as market area, anticipated employment generation and floor area requirements. (3) Compatibility with and impact on other surrounding commercial activities. (4) Relationship to surrounding land uses and natural systems. (5) Impact on existing and planned community services and utilities. Policy 4.10B.2. Criteria for siting commercial development. Commercial development shall be strategically directed to areas best able to accommodate its specific requirements of land area, site, public facilities and market location. The aim is to promote efficient traffic flow along thoroughfares, achieve orderly development and minimize adverse impacts on residential quality.” The 0.28 acre (12,196 sq. ft.) subject parcel meets the minimum area requirement for General Commercial future land use. Since the parcel is located on NE Dixie Hwy, which is a major arterial road, there would be ample access for commercial use. Intensity of the development on the site will be limited by the parking requirement, which is based on the proposed usage the parcel will have. Additionally, the parcel is located within the Rio Town Center Mixed Use Overlay, and so mixed use will be allowed. If future development proposals on the parcel are for mixed use developments, up to 15 residential units per acre will be allowed, pursuant to Policy 4.3A.3, Comprehensive Growth Management Plan, Martin County, Ordinance No.1077 (2018). Below are descriptions from the CGMP of the General Commercial future land use designation, extracted from Policy 4.13A.8, CGMP, Martin County, Fla. (2017) 1) General Commercial Land Use (GC): The General Commercial areas are designated on the Future Land Use Map to accommodate general retail sales and services; highway-oriented sales and services; commercial amusement; and trade and warehousing facilities. These areas are principally located in highly accessible parts of the urban service district that are compatible with the unique location and market requirements of these uses. The sites are located on major or minor arterials and require a minimum net lot size of 10,000 square feet. The FAR shall be governed by the parking standards of the Land Development Regulations. Maximum densities for hotel/motel units located in a General Commercial future land use designation shall be 20 units per gross acre. Maximum building coverage shall be 60 percent. Minimum open space shall be 20 percent. Maximum building height shall be 40 feet. The Land Development Regulations implementing the General Commercial future land use designation shall be consistent with the development standards described above. This area is not 15 of 92 Page 12 of 16 intended to accommodate businesses, trades or services that generate significant nuisance impacts, including glare, smoke or other air pollutants; noise; vibration; major fire hazards; need for extensive outside storage and display; or other impacts associated with more intensive industrial uses. Automotive sales and services shall be located in the General Commercial land use classification on sites appropriately designated for highway-oriented commercial uses in the Land Development Regulations. The areas designated for General Commercial development are specifically not adapted to permanent residential housing, and such uses shall be located in other areas designated for residential development. On the other hand, transient residential facilities including hotels and motels, timesharing or fractional fee residential complexes, or other transient quarters should be located in areas designated for commercial use. Areas planned for mixed-use developments as allowed under Goal 4.3 are considered compatible for mixed use. The General Commercial site should generally be removed from single-family residential development and able to be buffered and screened consistent with the Land Development Regulations requiring appropriate landscaping and screening. Screening shall include vegetative berms (where feasible), plant material and/or aesthetic decorative fences or walls to assure compatibility with less intensive uses existing or anticipated on adjacent sites. Final Analysis It is important to note that the subject property is only 0.28 acres and therefore, due to the small size of the site, large scale or intense commercial usage will most likely not be feasible, regardless of the future land use designation it will receive. Also, a portion of the subject parcel is already designated as General Commercial, as well as the surrounding properties to the east and west of the parcel. General Commercial future land use would be the most appropriate designation for this parcel, considering the site’s proximity to commercial lands, and its location on Dixie Highway, which is a major arterial road. Additionally, the subject parcel is separated enough from residential areas, which ensures that residential areas will not be impacted negatively by any future commercial uses this parcel may have. The property is also separated enough from important environmental zones such as wellfield protection zones. Considering all these factors, staff recommends changing the property’s land use designation from Institutional General and General Commercial to solely General Commercial future land use designation. 2.5. Capital Facilities Impact (i.e. Concurrency Management) Policy 4.1B.2. of the Future Land Use Element states: “All requests for amendments to the FLUMs shall include a general analysis of (1) the availability and adequacy of public facilities and (2) the level of services required for public facilities in the proposed land uses. This analysis shall address, at a minimum, the availability of category A and category C service facilities as defined in the Capital Improvements Element. No amendment shall be approved unless present or planned public facilities and services will be capable of meeting the adopted LOS standards of this Plan for the proposed land uses. The Capital Improvements Element, or other relevant plan 16 of 92 Page 13 of 16 provisions, and the FLUMs may be amended concurrently to satisfy this criterion. The intent of this provision is to ensure that the elements of the CGMP remain internally consistent.” 2.5.1. Mandatory Facilities 2.5.1.1. Water/Sewer Facilities The parcel is located in the Martin County Utilities Area. The site has adequate water and sewer lines, with a potable water line and a main sewer line, Sewer Forcemain. Any proposed development will be required to submit an application for Development Review. The County will provide services subject to development plan approval, execution of a service agreement and a payment of appropriate fees and charges. See Figure 6, where the dark blue line represents water service lateral and the green line represents the Sewer Forcemain, which is a pressurized sewer pipe line. The second one (b) is to show potable water, which is represented by a light blue line. a) Sewer Forcemain, shown in green b) Potable water, shown in blue Figure 6 The staff memorandum attached to this report indicates the system has capacity to provide both potable water and sanitary sewer service. 2.5.1.2. Drainage Facilities Level of Service for drainage facilities is listed below. Compliance with the following levels of service requirements must be evaluated with the submittal of a site plan. The developed site must comply with the following policies. Policy 14.1A.2.(2) County water management systems: Level of Service Major Drainage Ways (over one square mile) - 8.5" in a 24-hour period (25 year/24-hour design storm) Underground Facilities Utilizing Storm Sewers - 6" in a 24-hour period (5 year/24-hour design storm) All Other Facilities - 7" in a 24-hour period (10-year/24-hour design storm) 17 of 92 Page 14 of 16 Finished Floor Elevation - 100-year/3-day storm (a) Building floors shall be at or above the 100-year flood elevations, as determined from the most appropriate information, including Federal Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Both tidal flooding and the 100-year, 3-day storm event shall be considered in determining elevations. Lower floor elevations will be considered for agricultural buildings and boat storage facilities that are nonresidential and not routinely accessed by the public. (b) All project sites shall control the timing of discharges to preclude any off-site impact for any storm event. The peak discharge rate shall not exceed the predevelopment discharge rate for the 25-year frequency, 3-day duration storm event. The minimum roadway flood protection design storm shall be the 10-year frequency, 24- hour duration storm event unless the roadway is classified as a scenic corridor, in which case the flood protection design storm will consider maintaining the character of the roadway. 2.5.1.3. Transportation Policy 5.2A.1, states: “The base LOS standard for all roadways is during peak hour/peak season, except for the Florida Intrastate Highway System roadways on the Strategic Intermodal System and for facilities funded with the Transportation Regional Incentive Program that lie outside the urbanized area where LOS C is assigned, or except where an interim level of service has been assigned as described in Section 5.3.B.” A staff memorandum (attached to this report) from Public Works Department staff indicates the roadway will have available capacity. 2.5.1.4 Solid Waste Facilities The proposed Future Land Use designation does not exceed the level of service (LOS) criteria for solid waste facilities. The required LOS in Martin County is 1.06 tons of capacity per weighted population.

The regional planning council review and comments are limited to adverse effects on regional resources or facilities identified in the Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP) and extrajurisdictional impacts that would be inconsistent with the comprehensive plan of any affected local government within the region. Council must provide any comments to the local government within 30 days of the receipt of the proposed amendments and must also send a copy of any comments to the state land planning agency. The amendment package from Martin County was received on December 18, 2018 and contains one Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment. This report includes a summary of the proposed amendment and Council comments. Summary of Proposed Amendment The proposed amendment is to change the future land use designation on a 0.23-acre parcel of land from General Commercial in part and General Institutional in part to solely General Commercial. The subject property is located on the north side of NE Dixie Highway in the Rio Community Redevelopment Area. Adjacent Future Land Use designations are General Commercial to the north, east and west and Limited Commercial to the south (across NE Dixie Highway). The site is owned by the Martin County Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and is currently undeveloped. The amendment is being requested by the Martin County CRA staff who have indicated the requested land use designation is appropriate considering the site’s proximity to commercial lands and nearby commercial uses, and its location on NE Dixie Highway. Additionally, the change will allow the property to be purchased and developed by a private entity. Revision: _____ 49 of 92 2 The staff report indicates the site is located in the Primary Urban Service District and has adequate capacity available for potable water, sanitary sewer service, traffic, solid waste, police, and fire. It is also noted that due to the small size of the property, large scale or intense commercial development is not likely. Regional Impacts No adverse effects on regional resources or facilities have been identified. Extrajurisdictional Impacts Council requested comments from local governments and organizations expressing an interest in reviewing the proposed amendment on November 21, 2018. No extrajurisdictional impacts have been identified. Conclusion No adverse effects on regional resources or facilities and no extrajurisdictional impacts have been identified. Recommendation Council should approve this report and authorize its transmittal to Martin County and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS 1. None A. Public Hearings 1. None 65 of 92 Local Planning Agency Meeting- Minutes –October 18, 2018 2 B. Requests and Presentations – None Mr. Banfi advised staff that the electronic copy of the Site Plan could not be reviewed to accurately determine the size and scale of the proposed development and the agenda items were impossible to be downloaded. Mr. Moir agreed he had the same difficulty. Ms. Storey suggested the LPA could continue the item to the next Public Hearing meeting to provide information and address the LPA concerns. Mr. Bani did not want to inconvenience the applicant by continuing the process. The applicant came forward and provided a large scale copy of the Site Plan to Mr. Banfi, who acknowledged that it was sufficient. 4. NEW BUSINESS A. Public Hearings 1. BH Storage, LLC (S181-006) (Quasi-Judicial) Request for approval of a Revised Major Final Site Plan for a development consisting of 88,025 square feet of residential storage within three buildings with associated infrastructure on 3.36 acres located at 5051 SE Federal Highway on the east side of Federal Highway, approximately 1,200 feet north of SE Salerno Road, Stuart, FL. Included is a request for a Certificate of Public Facilities Reservation. Requested by: Doug Fitzwater, Lucido and Associates Presented by: Catherine Riiska, M.S., P.W.S., Principal Planner, Growth Management Department ***(For the Record) *** There were no ex parte communication disclosures *** No Interveners were present *** Notification to surrounding property owners was provided *** Ms. Riiska provided a copy of her resume, professional experience and the agenda and staff report *** All individuals wishing to speak on this request were Sworn In (S/I). Mr. Moir introduced Ms. Riiska (S/I) to review the request. She displayed a Location Map of the Subject Site, a 2017 Aerial with the Site Plan Overlay, a 2017 Aerial of the local area, (pg. 2,3 &4/16), the Zoning Map and Future Land Use Maps (pg. 5/16). This is a request for a Revised Major Final Site Plan for a total of 88,025 sq. ft. of residential storage use in the PUSD. The subject site consists of two parcels and has a split land use designation and split zoning. The front parcel (SE Federal Highway) is designated for Commercial General future land use and has GC, General Commercial District zoning. The rear parcel is designated for Commercial 66 of 92 Local Planning Agency Meeting- Minutes –October 18, 2018 3 Office/Residential (COR) future land use and has R-3A, Liberal Multiple Family District zoning. The applicant provided an analysis for a reduced parking rate adjustment for consideration. Staff has reviewed the application and recommended approval provided specific development standards for zoning and land use within the specific parcels have demonstrated compliance. Staff finds the application complies with the LDR as detailed in the report, and it is consistent with the guidelines and standards of the CGMP. The only remaining issue is a Code Enforcement action with a letter of condemnation relating to the detailed building demolition that has been recorded. Some rebar remaining on the site still requires removal. Staff anticipates that Code Enforcement will inspect the site in order to confirm that the condition has been corrected. Staff recommends that BH Storage Stuart, Revised Major Final Site Plan be recommended for approval with the condition that a successful resolution of the site through remediation to the satisfaction of Code Enforcement staff occurs prior to the BoCC meeting which is scheduled for November 20, 2018. LPA Comments/Questions: Mr. Banfi received an explanation of General Commercial to COR from Ms. Riiska and said they might want to strike the 29 and show 28 on the Site Plan. Mr. J.D. Baldwin, S/I and Mr. Doug Fitzpatrick, S/I provided information to Mr.Moir on heights for the elevations. They discussed regulations, and provided information on the exterior and interior structures, and architectural fixtures. Mr. Patrick LaConte, S/I, LaConte Engineering, provided information on drainage, balance in the water retention area, a resolution on native habit and removal of trees. Mr. Moir asked if neighbors had been conferred with concerning any impact, and Mr. Fitzwater indicated they had not met with the neighbors. Public Comment: None * MOTION – MOVED by Mr. Banfi to approve Staff’s recommendation that BH Storage Stuart, Revised Major Final Site Plan be recommended for approval with the condition that a successful resolution of the site through remediation to the satisfaction of Code Enforcement staff occurs prior to the BoCC meeting which is scheduled for November 20, 2018. ** SECONDED by Mr. Watson Carried UNANIMOUSLY 67 of 92 Local Planning Agency Meeting- Minutes –October 18, 2018 4 2. Request to consider adoption of an Ordinance amending Division 19 of Article 4, relating to Open Road Frontage of the Land Development Regulations, Martin County Code. Requested by: Lisa A. Wichser, P.E., CFM, County Engineer Presented by: Michelle Cullum, Development Review Administrator and Tom Walker, County Surveyor, Public Works Department Ms. Cullum reviewed the request to amend Section 4.841.C, Glossary and Section 4.843.K Open Road Frontage, Division 19 of Article 4, LDR relating to roads, and discussed the changes needed to address issues related to the open road frontage requirement. The purpose and intent of this request is, in order for a Building Permit to be issued for the construction of any structure the lot must directly front an open road. The LDRs provide for exceptions and variances from the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC). The proposed amendment is intended to clarify the distinctions. Mr. Walker read exceptions to the regulations allowing for building permits to be issued on both lots that result from a lot split (in accordance with Section 4.911.C.1) (Staff Report, (1), (2) and (3). Examples of exception lots, Variance lots, and Open Road lots were displayed Variances granted allowing building permits on a lot not fronting on an open road provided that the Board determines: (1), (2), (3, and (4). Applying these regulations indicates many lots of record or lot splits are difficult as they do not have the benefit of an easement recorded prior to March 6, 2002. It is the property owner’s responsibility to request a variance for an open road. LPA Comments/Questions: Mr. Watson discussed an experience of granting an easement for access to property that was not to be developed and how that could change. Ms. Cullum explained that roads are opened for health and public safety with determinations for variances made by the BoCC. Staff and the LPA discussed this topic further. Ms. Storey advised the BoCC believes it appropriate for the health, safety and welfare of the public that building permits only be issued on an open road. Certain exceptions and variances have been provided over the years to allow people the use of their property, and to address particular situations, such as a legal lot split. 68 of 92 Local Planning Agency Meeting- Minutes –October 18, 2018 5 Ms. Storey commented that staff was asked to address the issue of distance to bring it forward, and get input from the LPA. She noted that the 1,320 ft. distance related to a ½ (mile) block. Public Comment: - None Mr. Moir called for staff’s recommendation. Ms. Cullum indicated staff’s recommendation is to amend the LDRs to clarify exceptions and variances so that exceptions are no more than three transversing lots and are less than 700 ft. in length, and the Board of County Commissioners can grant variances if they determine conditions are met for a legal lot of record, so if the exception is done in a lot split it can be determined by the County Engineer and if it was a legal lot of record not created by a lot split that could go to the Board. * MOTION – MOVED by Mr. Watson to approve staff’s recommendation with the alternative open road at ¼ mile, 1,320 ft. over multiple lots for the variance. ** SECONDED by Mr. Foley Mr. Moir and Mr. Banfi Opposed ** MOTION CARRIED 3-2. Mr. Moir was opposed and thought ¼ mile is too long a distance and not limiting the number of lot splits is asking for problems, they need to be limited. Open road are expensive but going cheap is trouble. Mr. Banfi commented on lot splits and how they occur with lack of access and that you want to have easements to have a minimum width and roads open for a purpose such as egress and ingress i.e., granting to parent/child lot splits. There needs to be a plan to identify examples of large lots with no access, and an easy start would be to handle two lots and give a simple easement. 3. Comprehensive Plan Amendment 18-14, Dixie Highway, Rio – Request to consider a Future Land Use Map change from General Institution and General Commercial to solely General Commercial on +-0.28 acres located at 977 NE Dixie Highway, Rio. Requested by: Martin County Community Redevelopment Agency Presented by: Maria Jose, M.S., Planner, Growth Management Dept. 69 of 92 Local Planning Agency Meeting- Minutes –October 18, 2018 6 *** Notification to surrounding property owners was provided for both items: CMP 18-14, Jensen Beach Impoundment Extension and notification to surrounding property owners was provided for CMP 18-15. Ms. Jose reviewed the request and indicated the 0.28 acre property located on NE Dixie Highway in the Rio CRA has a future land use designation of General Commercial and General Institutional. The BoCC has initiated a CPA to change the Future Land Use designation to solely General Commercial. Staff recommends the future land use change on the property from General Commercial and General Institutional to solely General Commercial, to eliminate a dual future land use designation. Mr. Foley asked why not change the FLU designation to General Institutional. Ms. Jose displayed the surrounding area(s) future land use and explained that staff analysis considered the existing and surrounding land use to recommend General Commercial, she provided permitted uses, and due to the small size of the parcel, large scale or intense commercial would not be feasible. Mr. Banfi confirmed the Fire Station was formerly located on the property. Public Comment: - None * MOTION – MOVED by Ms. Hall to accept staff’s recommendation regarding CPA 18-14, Dixie Highway, Rio to change the Future Land Use Map from General Institution and General Commercial on +-0.28 acres located at 977 NE Dixie Highway, Rio, FL. ** SECONDED – by Mr. Banfi CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 4. Dixie Highway, Rio (Quasi-Judicial) – Staff is withdrawing this item. Ms. Storey addressed the reason why this item was withdrawn, as there is no need to change the zoning requirement. Public Comments: None * MOTION – MOVED by Ms. Hall to approve staff’s request to withdraw this request from the agenda. ** SECONDED by Mr. Banfi Carried UNANIMOUSLY 70 of 92 Local Planning Agency Meeting- Minutes –October 18, 2018 7 5. Comprehensive Plan Amendment 18-15, Jensen Beach Impoundment Extension – Request to consider a Future Land Use Map change from Medium Density Residential to Public Conservation on a parcel consisting of +-10.13 acres located on NE Causeway Boulevard, west of the Jensen Beach Club on Hutchinson Island, Jensen Beach, FL. Requested by: Nicki van Vonno, AICP, Director, Growth Management Dept. Presented by: Maria Jose, M.S. Planner, Growth Management Dept. Ms. Jose reviewed the request initiated by the BoCC to assign the most appropriate institutional future land use designation on the property. The subject parcel was displayed (pg. 2/13). Staff considered Public Conservation future land use and recommended a future land use change from Medium Density Residential to Public Conservation. Ms. Jose reviewed the surrounding parcels and indicated that Public Conservation recognizes public owned areas designated for conservation uses and only development compatible with conservation and passive recreation shall be permitted in the Public Conservation category.

Pierce, FL 34946 772-466-4055 Americans are using their phones in riskier ways while driving, worsening the nation’s crash crisis, according to a new report. Although overall cellphone use on the road is down, drivers were “observ- ed manipulating their phones” 57 per- cent more often in 2018 than they were in 2014, according to research by the In- surance Institute for Highway Safety. That means people are putting themselves at significantly higher risk of dying in a car crash. “People are talking on the phone less than they were in 2014 and they’re ma- nipulating it more, which is things that include texting and potentially brows- ing the internet or potentially using it for navigation, audio, music,” said Da- vid Kidd, senior research scientist for the Highway Loss Data Institute, a sib- ling organization to IIHS. Using the most recently available figures, the insurance institute esti- mated that about 800 people were killed in crashes in 2017 because of drivers who were using their phones for something other than a call. The findings are significant because researchers have historically found it difficult to gauge the effects of distract- ed driving. But IIHS experts were able to track the problem by positioning researchers on the side of the road at traffic lights, straight sections of roads and round- abouts. The researchers recorded what driv- ers were doing when they passed by. About 1 in 4 drivers were doing something other than focusing on the road, a figure that includes phone use, smoking and eating, according to the study. The study adds credence to suspi- cions that the nation’s spike in deadly crashes over the past few years is due in part to smartphone use. Distracted driving can occur for other reasons, too, including the use of vehicle infotain- ment systems. The best available data suggests that using your phone for something other than a call while driving in- creases your risk of a crash by about 66 percent, Kidd said. “When you’re taking your eyes off the roadway and you don’t see what’s coming ahead of you, you’re less able to react to what’s ahead of you, and that can result in crashes,” Kidd said. U.S. crash deaths fell slightly in 2017 but still reflected the second-deadliest year on the road in the past decade. The number of people killed in traffic crashes in 2017 was 37,133, down 1.8 percent from the year before, ac- cording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Figures from 2018 have not yet been released. The IIHS study was conducted in northern Virginia. Kidd said there’s no reason to believe northern Virginia drivers use their phones more or less than the average American. “I don’t have any reason to think it’s any different because of how ubiqui- tous smartphones are now,” he said. Study: Cellphone use while driving is soaring Risky phone use while driving is on the rise, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. LM OTERO/AP Devices’ temptations can prove to be deadly Nathan Bomey USA TODAY YORK HAVEN, Pa. – A Pennsylva- nia man says his emotional support alligator helps him deal with his de- pression. Joie Henney, 65, said his registered emotional support animal named Wally likes to snuggle and give hugs, despite being a 5-foot-long alligator. The York Haven man said he received approval from his doctor to use Wally as his emotional support animal after not wanting to go on medication for depression, he told Philly.com. “I had Wally, and when I came home and was around him, it was all OK,” he said. “My doctor knew about Wally and figured it works, so why not?” Wally was rescued from outside Orlando at 14 months old and is still growing; Henney said Wally could be 16 feet long one day. Henney says Wal- ly eats chicken wings and shares an indoor plastic pond with a smaller res- cue alligator named Scrappy. Wally, who turns 4 this year, is a big teddy bear, in Henney’s words. The cold-blooded reptile likes to rest his snout on Henney’s, and “he likes to give hugs,” he said. The alligator has never bitten any- one and is even afraid of cats, accord- ing to Henney. Henney acknowledged that Wally is still a dangerous wild animal and could probably tear his arm off, but says he’s never been afraid of him. Henney’s background also indi- cates a comfort with creatures like Wally. He hosted a show called “Joie Henney’s Outdoors” on ESPN Out- doors from 1989 to 2000, according to the York Daily Record. Henney frequently takes Wally out for meet-and-greets at places like sen- ior centers and minor-league baseball games. “He’s just like a dog,” Henney told a woman at a recent outing to a senior center. “He wants to be loved and pet- ted.” Pa. man says emotional support alligator helps his depression ASSOCIATED PRESS Joie Henney holds up Wally, a 4-foot-long emotional support alligator, at the SpiriTrust Lutheran Village in York, Pa.
