Appraisal Review (EAR) Based Amendments (P20-83)
The City Clerk read Ordinance 20-28 aloud by title only. Mayor Oravec
opened the Public Hearing.
Bonnie Landry, Bonnie C. Landry & Associates Planning Firm, gave a
brief presentation and stated that a Comprehensive Plan provided the
framework for orderly development of the City with a long-term direction
and standards for land development.
Ms. Landry stated that the EAR report was completed every 7 years
and the City updated their plan based on any State changes. She
presented the timeline and explained that after the plan was adopted, it
would be brought to the State. Ms. Landry expected the final plan to be
in-place by December. Ms. Landry explained that the ORC Report was
divided into three sections, which included objections,
recommendations, and comments. She stated that the City received
two comments, which included strengthening perils of flood policies and
providing updated supporting data. Mayor Oravec asked how common
it was to receive objections, to which Ms. Landry responded she was
Page 4 of 17
City Council Meeting Minutes October 26, 2020
unsure how many she has seen, but it was not as often as in the past.
Ms. Landry presented the items that were changed, which included the
Conservation and Coastal Management Element GOPs by updating
“may” or “will” to “shall” in 8 Policies and by adding Policy 5.1.3.5: The
City will partner with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a
Coastal Storm Risk Management Study by 2025 to better understand
the potential impacts of sea level rise. Ms. Landry stated that they also
added two maps with new data, which were on future slides. She
explained that the sea-level rise map was based on Florida Building
Resilience Against Climate Effects, which was a medium-risk level.
Mayor Oravec explained that rainwater escaped the communities
through the river and increased the water level by 2-feet, which could
back up the stormwater system. He added that everything close to the
elevation was soggy due to the increased water levels.
Ms. Landry presented the transportation element data, which included
an update to indicate the funding sources, an added disclaimer to text
indicating funding was dependent upon legislative appropriation and an
updated narrative on SIS and removed the references to FIHS. Ms.
Landry stated that they collaborated with Public Works and FDOT to
add a new objective and policies to recognize that the City was
preparing transportation facilities for the risk of flooding. Ms. Landry
concluded her presentation and requested that the Council adopt the
amended Comprehensive Plan.

Bolivar Gomez, Planner II, stated that the file was submitted to the City
Clerk’s Office 5 days prior to the meeting to enter into the record and
explained that the request was to rezone 0.46-acres of land from
Professional (P) to Multiple-Family Residential (RM-5). He explained
Page 11 of 17
City Council Meeting Minutes October 26, 2020
that the purpose of the request was to allow for the construction of two
Single-Family dwelling units. Mr. Gomez stated that the two lots made
up the 0.46-acres of land proposed for rezoning and that both lots were
currently vacant. Under P03-343, the City Council approved an
application to rezone the lots from the then zoning designation of
Single-Family Residential (RS-2) to the current designation of
Professional (P). Mr. Gomez stated that the properties were located
east of SW Port St. Lucie Boulevard and south of SW Abraham
Avenue.
Regarding zoning consistency, the applicant’s proposal to rezone the
property to Multiple-Family Residential (RM-5) is consistent with those
policies set forth in Zoning Code 158.077 and Policy 1.1.4.13 of the
Comprehensive Plan that identifies Multiple-Family Residential (RM-5)
zoning district as compatible with the Residential, Office, Institutional
(ROI) Future Land Use classification.
Mr. Gomez stated that on October 6, 2020, the Planning and Zoning
Board recommended approval and that the Planning and Zoning staff
received many public comments, which were part of the submittal
packet.
Mayor Oravec inquired as to who completed the ROI, to which Teresa
Lamar-Sarno, Assistant to the City Manager for Land Development
Services responded that in 1983 the City completed an evaluation and
appraisal report. Mayor Oravec inquired as to why the City could not
initiate a small-scale change since the City changed the zoning in the
first place. Mayor Oravec asked if staff explored that avenue, to which
the Assistant to the City Manager for Land Development Services
responded that staff was considering completing a staff-initiated land
use amendment and rezoning.
Councilman Carvelli stated that RM-5 was still 5 units per acre, which
could eventually become a 5-unit mini complex in a residential
neighborhood. He stated that they needed to look at the item, as a
single-family home standpoint. Councilman Carvelli stated that he
would be upset too, and he would not be supporting the item.
Councilwoman Morgan stated that she was confused as to why they
would apply for a Unity of Title if they were building two separate
homes, to which Mr. Gomez responded that it was required with the
rezoning of a conversion area.
Page 12 of 17
City Council Meeting Minutes October 26, 2020
Mayor Oravec stated that he supported Groza Builders building two
single-family homes in Port St. Lucie, but he felt the applicant was
given the wrong avenue. Councilwoman Caraballo stated that she
agreed and that they needed to change the ROI, at the City’s cost.
Todd Mowery, Redtail Design Studio, stated that staff recommended
the Unity of Title and that the lots were set to begin development. He
suggested looking at the surrounding lots, as they were zoned the
same. Mayor Oravec stated that regardless of the type of application,
they could not take chances that something would be approved or
disapproved, as the process had to play out.
Mayor Oravec inquired as to if there was a way to complete an at-risk
agreement, to which the City Attorney responded that at-risk
agreements never end well. Mayor Oravec stated that the worst case
was that two single-family homes be built. Vice Mayor Martin stated that
they needed to set a time frame and that the residents in the area
needed to know what was being done. The Assistant to the City
Manager for Land Development Services stated that they could place
the item on the December agenda for the Planning and Zoning Board.
Mayor Oravec stated that several members of the public signed up to
speak and explained that the item was going back because the Council
wanted the zoning to be single-family.
Millie Whitney, spoke against Ordinance 20-69 and stated that Five
Star Investments was listed as the owner, to which Mr. Mowery
explained that it was the Groza family.
Todd Mowery, representative for the applicant withdrew Item 10 l). and
no vote occurred for Ordinance 20-69.
There being no further discussion, Councilwoman Morgan moved to
send this item back for a City-initiated land use and zoning change to
zone the property to single-family. Vice Mayor Martin seconded the
motion, which passed unanimously by voice vote.
