The City Clerk read Ordinance 20-69 aloud by title only. 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.
