behalf of Jupiter Hills Club for approval of the 22nd Amendment to the Jupiter Hills Village PUD Zony agreement including a revised Master site plan and phase 9 final site plan the proposed development of phase 9 consists of a one story 32 bed building and Associated infrastructure on an approximately 4.59 Acre Site to provide dormatory style employee housing phase 9 is located approximately 430 ft Northwest of the intersection of Southeast County Line Road and Southeast Federal Highway intoa included is a request for a certificate of public facilities reservation this map shows the overall boundary of the Jupiter Hills Village PUD in red it's proximately 366 acres and it's located just north of Southeast County Line River you can see phase 9 outlined in blue towards the southern end of the Pud The jupyter Hills Village PUD currently contains two 18-hole golf courses single family detached dwellings as well as uh condos and townhouse or villa style residences this is Phase 9 phase 9 is approximately 4.59 Acres the northern portion of the site is currently occupied by a portion of the the golf course while the remainder is undeveloped the site does have access along the Federal Highway Frontage the zoning of the surrounding property properties is uh mainly r3a and WRC Waterfront Resort commercial to the east to the South there's the PS zoning district and to the e to the west of the Jupiter Hills Village PUD is also the PS zoning District the future land use of the Jupiter Hills Village PUD is a state density TOA to the east we see the commercial Waterfront future land use designation to the South the general institutional and we have this large recreational future land use designation to the West the Jupiter Hills Village PUD was established 1978 phase 9 was created in 1986 via the 9th PUD Amendment based on the most recent revised Master site plan approved in 2006 phase 9 is currently designated for commercial use the proposed 22nd PUD Amendment updates the proposed use of phase 9 from commercial to employee housing specifically for employees within the Jupiter Hills Village PUD it creates a minimum parking rate of one space per bed for the employ employee housing it establishes that all employees residing in the dormatory must be 18 years of age or older and the proposed amendment includes a revised Master site plan to reflect the phase 9 employee housing use the proposed phase 9 final site plan consists of a one-story 32-bed building and Associated infrastructure to provide dormatory style employee housing the final site plan provides 1.15 Acres of Upland preserve area it provides 83 Acres of landscaping and buffer area which will utilize existing native vegetation to the extent feasible as well as provides supplemental native plantings the site plan also includes an additional 85 acre area in which existing native vegetation will remain here you can see the site plan The Preserve area will be in the southern portion of the site the northern portion contains uh that part of of the existing golf course this hashed area here denotes a existing native vegetation to remain and you can see the orientation of the building along with the dry detention area the Landscaping along the US One Frontage here will consist of uh existing native vegetation to the extent possible and that will be supplemented with Native plantings development review staff have found the J Jupiter Hills Club application to comply with all applicable regulations and the comprehensive growth management plan as detailed in the staff report staff recommend approving the 22nd Amendment to the Jupiter Hills Village PUD agreement with revised Master site plan and the phase 9ine final site plan that concludes my presentation does anyone have questions Jim let let's get if if this was a for rent um proposal would it would it meet staff's approval as in a as in if this was a condominium or if this was a hotel if this was a hotel it would be classified as a commercial use yes that is currently authorized under the approved master plan okay and and that this section of that PUD is is it's future land use designation is for commercial correct it has the estate density to UPA designation however the approved master plan designates it for commercial use that commercial use designation dates back to 1986 when phase 9 was initially created thank you Mr Brown do you have any questions no sir I not even going to attempt your last name for three meetings no questions no questions yeah do we have a president presentation from the applicant good evening Mr chairman members of the board uh for the record Brian Nolan with Leo and Associates and I have the uh proof of public notification requirements uh I have here with me this evening uh Atilla cardones with Jupiter Hills Club and uh Jerry Compton with Cree engineers uh I do have a short presentation for you and I will run through thusly so the proposed use on the site is employee housing uh this facility will house uh seasonal employees uh of the club Only um I have a little bit of a typo here all employees of the club are PGA certified professionals uh not the food and beverage staff um but a majority um of the employees that will be in here will be PGA professionals uh typical employee would work several clubs uh throughout the year kind of following the seasons if you will uh the reason we're doing this is there's a shortage as we all know of affordable housing particularly short-term rentals um to accommodate the seasonal employees and also housing the employees uh within the club site or even close to the club site um you know will save vehicle trips and commuting time in this facility is about one mile uh from the clubhouse like right at a mile uh as Mr Senate uh stated we are seeking to uh amend the proposed uh the propos the sorry the approved use uh from commercial to employee housing with a parking rate of one space per bed a minimum age of 18 years of old um and then Revis the master uh site plan graphic accordingly um this is a shot of the master site plan graphic with phase 9 uh highlighted uh this area has been updated to show the proposed preserve area the proposed access and turn lanes and the use of employee housing uh this is the proposed site plan uh superimposed on a current aerial exhibit uh you can see we're proposing to access the site directly off Federal Highway with a right in Right Out Construction of turn Lanes southbound right turn Lanes uh you can see with aerial underneath that we've tried to locate the building in an area that was previously impacted you can see the parking lot with 49 parking stalls we have a sidewalk to provide adequate pedestrian access uh both around the parking lot and an ADA uh compliant uh sidewalk ramp down to the existing sidewalk uh the site does ramp down uh quite a bit as you approach uh Federal we also have a bike rack dry detention area here's the location of the list station and the refu enclosure as uh to preserve our environmental consultant Drew Gatewood walked the site with staff uh to try to identify the the most uh uh the best Habitat to preserve and this native preserve area is 1.15 Acres or equals to 25% of the site and it is also contiguous to preserve that is offsite right um this highlights the native landscape to remain um as uh staff indicated we're going to try our best to save what vegetation we can along US1 but it that's going to be a grading grading challenge that that I'm sure our civil engineers up to uh this is a landscape plan it is a 100% native landscape um we have uh a mix of Oaks and Pines a few gumbo limos some silver button Woods uh Magnolias you can see the planted dry detention area you can see the buffering along US1 um we proposed a solid row of uh silver Sala Meadows back planted with trees so as to break up the building as to the building um it's a single story building 20 ft in height and it's set back over 90 ft from the property line and it's about 130 or so feet total uh to to a drive lanane on on federal uh walk you through the floor plan real quick so we all know what's going on the you can see here the primary and secondary entries and exits there's a kitchen and a common uh common area laundry room uh manager Suite with two bedrooms two bathrooms uh and a kitchenet and we have 30 employee rooms which includes four accessible rooms and with that I thank you I thank staff for their diligence and working with us making this plan what it is and I'm available to answer any questions you might have Mr Brown do you have any questions no sir Jim I do Mr Nolan thank you very much for your presentation yes sir um it doesn't appear as though there's any internal access from the dormatory to the rest of the golf course so any services that would be provided by these employees would have to go back out onto US1 correct and and and do that work correct there's really no yeah functional way to connect them internally with the golf course right there this this abuts the golf course so they would either get to and from the club by the sidewalk or use federal loop around at the intersection and go north and and do a left in but you are correct a mile away from from the dormatory correct okay is there is there any plans for allowing for a a large golf court or something like that I mean it seems it seems as of the energy saving of trying to get these folks in a dormitory and then have to put them back out onto the the highway seems to be sure I I I see what you're saying and I can I can confer with with aella and see what accommodations they may be planning to provide all right no questions for me I I AG I I think Jim has a point I don't see why you wouldn't provide a gol a couple of golf carts or a cart path that just connects to the back well we have a TAA here and he can okay he can address that come on up the board so pleases the board I'm sorry I'm not familiar with these proceeding just state your name for the record I'm not sure he was sworn in was he sworn in he was okay okay so we need to swear you in please please raise your right hand do you swear or affirm that the evidence you're about to give will be the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth okay so just state your name and then you can answer the question Cardis currently the golf cart recommend recommendation was really well thought of and we thought about it I believe it is illegal to have the golf carts even on a sidewalk or us one no our plans are currently they have we have Vans that's how we handle them currently where they stay those Transportation Vans will continue to take them back you have well that that's that's the answer that's correct that's fine any other questions see none back to the board do we have any public comment Mr M Crystal just to remind the P public you'll have three minutes for public comment Mr Camp Benny good evening where do we live Neo feudalism so this whole started with uh your new golf course developments wanting their nice hotels for their employees that can live on on the premises and I guess this is going to spread and it's so it's so in our faces of the super wealthy doing what they want and literally having I don't know what else to call it other than I won't call it slave labor I guess but the control of these hopefully new Americans and the threat of uh not having a place to live this just screams of us and them and no shot no shot at the real American American dream so to speak and uh I'm becoming ashamed of being a Martin County because uh it's just so in our faces now who's pulling the strings and you know it's it's globalist Elites versus National populace and everyone in this room everyone in these Chambers at all times needs to like look in the mirror and and see what side of this coin you're on yeah this this is uh this got me off the couch unluckily for you guys I just live 5 minutes away so yeah it makes me sick have a good have a good night thank you anybody else see none back to the board what's the pleasure of the board well I think I I want to make a comment um the idea of for lack of a better description sort of Plantation housing concerned me a great deal and it still does and I I do I am concerned about it but I do think that there are Energy savings there are Transportation savings employees will be employed and and those are good things um affordable housing is a real problem in Martin County and this does provide provide housing for people and it will provide quality housing for people I am very concerned that this is a a slope that we are sliding down um and and I hope it isn't something that we end up having to uh to approve a lot of but but that's that's honestly my feeling about this and it has been my feeling about this ever since the rural ANS Amendment started to have d housing on these um elitist golf courses I forgot to ask a question maybe Mr syic could just answered if not I'll ask the applicant to come up again are you are you charging rent are they charging rent I'll let the applicant answer that okay no minimal minimal yes like electric it's a cruise ship just to keep them responsible you have to speak into the microphone so just to keep them basically responsible uh $75 or $150 a month they're barely describing as paying utilities and such all right any other questions for the applicant any other questions can I get a motion then well I guess the motion that we want to say if I have to say that we approve yeah sta approve the staff recommendation okay can I get a second I second it okay any other discussion seeing none can we have a vote please all in favor I I I any opposed no passes 4 40 approved thank you okay next one Florida mobile park LLC subdistrict change S 26-4 this is also quasi judicial could you please all oh is there any expart communication I have no expar communication no no expart again I spoke to staff about this uh just as an aside to the new member if you do have a question you can call staff and they'll be happy to discuss it with you so that you have some if you don't have some idea like I didn't you'd come in you'd ask them and they would answer your questions ahead of time so so that we it could could could proceed a little faster okay if you could ALS those giving testimony could please stand is your right hand do you swear or affirm that the evidence you're about to give will be the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth and are there any any interveners there are no interveners okay Mr Cate go for it thank you Mr chairman I'm John Senate senior planner with growth management this is a request by engineering design and construction on behalf of Flay's mobile park for approval of of an amendment to division 5 Hope Sound article 12 community redevelopment code Land Development regulations Martin County Code for a subdistrict change from the current General subdistrict to the corridor subdistrict the subject property is an existing recreational vehicle park located at 10705 Southeast Federal Highway south of Southeast Porter Boulevard and west of Southeast Dixie Highway within the hobes sound CRA this is the subject subject site in red it is approximately 7.98 Acres it's an existing recreational vehicle park it's bounded to the east by Southeast Dixie Highway and to the west by federal highway to the north by Porter Boulevard across Porter Boulevard is the Greek o Orthodox Church to the south of the site is the seab breze mobile Manor Mobile Home Park the property is currently zoned Hoban Redevelopment zoning District being in the Hoban CRA to the east of the property across Dixie Highway in the FEC RightWay we see article 3 zoning districts R2 and r2b the future land use designation of the property is CRA Center to the east of the property we see the low density land use designation to the South CRA neighborhood and to the north across portter Boulevard CRA Center this map shows the existing CRA subdistricts the property currently has the general subdistrict to the north we see the general subdistrict as well and to the South we see the corridor subdistrict and the mobile home subdistrict Florida's mobile park LLC proposes to change from the current General subdistrict to the corridor subdistrict recreational vehicle park is not a permitted use in the current General subdistrict the applicant is seeking the change in order to establish recreational vehicle park as a permitted use on the site the corridor subd district is intended to extend The Pedestrian oriented building types frontages and Street Scapes along a major roadway this table is excerpted from section 12.1.0 g Martin County Land Development regulations it demonstrates the particular subdistrict which our code designates to implement a particular future land use in the CRA as you can see the corridor subdistrict is designed to implement the CRA Center future land use so the proposed Corridor subdistrict is consistent with the underlying CRA Center future land use of the subject property this section shows the development standards for both the existing General subdistrict and the proposed Corridor subdistrict as you can see some of these development standards are identical uh Max residential dens 10 units per acre that's the same for the the current and the proposed subdistrict maximum building coverage at 60% maximum height is 30 ft two stories for both subdistricts minimum open space 20% for both the existing and proposed subdistrict these are the conditions supporting the applicant's request the subject sites location along Southeast Federal Highway and Southeast Dixie Highway which are classified as arterial roadways is consistent with the goals of the corridor subdistrict the range of residential and non-residential uses permitted in the corridor subdistrict is compatible with the established pattern of development in this area of the hob sound CRA the proposed change to the corridor subdistrict is consistent with the underlying CRA Center future land use designation development review staff have found the flor's mobile park application to comply with all applicable regulations and the comprehensive growth management plan is detailed in the staff report staff recommend approving the ordinance amending division 5 hob sound article 12 community redevelopment code Land Development regulations Maron county code to change the CRA subdistrict from General to Corridor on the subject site that concludes my presentation chair do you have any questions for staff uh yes if the uh zoning that it has right now is not does not allow mobile homes how did it gets owned that way or how was it built what's the history here the applicant's presentation will discuss some of the history of the site okay thank you um related question if if a uh an RV park is permitted in a corridor does that mean that all corridors would be permitted RV parking so the the hobtown corridor subdistrict I lists Recreational Vehicle Parks as a as a permitted use so it is allowed anywhere in that Corridor subd District in in hes sound site plan yes subject to a site plan application that was the question yeah all right Howard any questions no okay well you've asked my question Jim the applicant please good evening for the record my name is Brad curry with Haley Ward tonight I'm repres pres the owner of a 7.97 acre piece of property located on the west side of US1 just south of Porter and I'm turning in the certified mailing list letter John did an excellent job presenting I I do have a little bit of History to add to the project and um just probably trying to figure out how we got here tonight um John do you want me to do it oh this actually does work so again as John stated the intent of the application is to change from the existing General uh subdistrict to Corridor that that subdistrict was changed um back in about 2020 the original piece of this property many of us know it as the angle in U mobile home court and it started to transition to more RVs and mobile homes as a mixture of things and then in 2004 when we had those hurricanes came through it um hurt some of the mobile homes there and it turned mostly into uh RV park at that point um 2006 there was a desire to potentially do a multif family development on this property and they changed the land use of the property to RM to allow uh mobile home I'm sorry to allow multif family town houses I believe and that was about the time the market you know went the other the other direction and the zoning was never sought so the property was a little bit strange and that it had the the um the mobile home park zoning and the r3a zoning but it had r M land use so it was kind of a um a mixed bag of zonings and land uses so then in 2010 my client bought the property they started cleaning the property up um getting some of the dlook mobile homes and RVs that were there off of the property um and then in 2020 right in the height of covid the Hop sound Redevelopment code was adopted and with that they changed the future Lan use and they identified subdistricts for all the properties within the CRA unfortunately we don't know exactly why they gave it the sub District that they did uh why they gave an active RV park the General District but it happened and now we're here my clients approached me um about a year or so ago and said hey we want to do some Redevelopment here we it's a got a package sewer plan on the property right now it's got some older roads and they would wanted to do some investment on the property and we found out that the use that's on the property is no longer unallowed use and so we the first step here was a change a subd district to an allowed use and then we hope to come back in before this before and and get a site plan approved for some improvements on the property my clients are actively involved in the RV park industry here in Florida and um they wanted me to provide some information about the amount of money that's spent doing these RV parks U most of the people that have an RV uh don't do a lot of cooking in their RV when they go to a spot to to stay for a week or two or or a month they do a lot of eating out they spend a lot of money in the area so it's actually a pretty significant economic impact to the area and if we were able to do some improvements make it a little bit nicer than it is today it's pretty nice right now but to make it even nicer we think that would be an even bigger help to the economy John did an excellent job presenting the project the location I did want to mention that my clients also own the 1.26 N acre property just to the South and that piece does have the corridor designation so the piece as vacant does have the correct designation again just a little bit of History here future land use used to be um 8 units per acre and the zoning was was mobile home park and r3a and then it was changed in about 2020 to Community Development Area and then the Hoptown subd District just showing the subd districts John showed that that slot as well and as we discussed the the corridor subd District allows I'm sorry Corridor subd District allows RVs and and the journal does not in the summary we are requesting a subdistrict change it follows the same similar process to a rezoning even if it's just a subdistrict change and that's why we're here tonight and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have Jim uh I guess two questions completely separate uh one is has the NAC and the CRA board uh approved this and I had that in my notes okay and secondly um the current package plan is it discontinued um sir the current package plant is still in use it still gets serviced regularly um and we did go to the NAC and they supported they voted to approve the sub dis change okay so the pump out for these RVs goes to the package plant yes sir currently it does we would love to install a lift station but that requires us to do a new site plan which requires us to change the subd district right anything else no I think that's it I just yeah just now what what is what is there now RVs what RV are there now RVs are there now but they're not supposed to be there um I mean I'm I just want Elise Elder Deputy County attorney it is an active RV park right now um they've been there for a while RVs have never been a permitted use on that property so they're trying to change the permitted use to match what's there right now I have an AR kind of a that's like a well I shouldn't say but I got you I understand any other questions Howard no sir Jarrett no yep uh it's it's just a sh my opinion it's a shame that this can't be done administratively since it would be easier for everyone concerned okay is there any public comment seeing none any discussion by the board i' I'd move for staff's recommendation for approval can I get a second I second all in favor I I passes unanimously thank you thank you okay ldr 241 article 12 division 5 height restrictions you still here Mr C I am this is my last one starting the knee or off thank you Mr chairman I'm John Senate senior planner with growth management this is a request by Architects design collaborative on behalf of Boys and Girls Club of Martin County for approval of an amendment to division 5 Hope Sound article 12 community redevelopment code Land Development regulations Martin County Code to change the maximum allowable height for certain structures within the general subdistrict the applicant proposes a maximum allowable height of 35 ft two stories specifically for gymnasiums developed as part of an Institutional use the current maximum allowable height within the general subdistrict is 30 ft two stories just to give you some history division 5 Hope Sound of article 12 was established via ordinance 1134 in 2020 section 12504 development standards of division 5 received minor revisions with the adoption of ordin ordinance 1159 in 20121 table hs5 section 12.54 establishes criteria such as minimum lot size density maximum building coverage minimum open space and maximum Building height the applicant has requested that table hs5 section 12.54 be amended to allow a maximum Building height of 35 ft two stories specifically for gymnasiums developed as part of an Institutional use in the general subdistrict currently the maximum allowable Building height in the general subdistrict of the hobes sound CRA is 30 ft 2 stories this illustrates the proposed change essentially it would just be adding a footnote to table hs5 specifying that gymnasiums developed as part of an Institutional use may be constructed to a maximum height of 35 ft again this is specific to the general subdistrict of hobes sound the proposed change in allowable height for gymnasiums would facilitate an internal vertical clearance of about 25 ft it would ensure building structural components in the HVAC system don't interfere with gameplay or player safety the proposed height would accommodate various levels of play practice and community events this change is specific to gymnasiums developed as part of an Institutional use in the hob sound CRA General subdistrict all other structures within the general subdistrict would be subject to the current 30 ft twostory height limit the general subdistrict is also utilized in the Beach Rio port cero and Golden Gate cras the request is consistent with the building Heights currently permissible in the general subdistrict as it's implemented in the other cras so just to give you an example the Jensen Beach CRA the normal Building height for the general subdistrict is 24 ft however uh structures in certain locations are allowed to build to 35 ft or three stories within the General subdistrict in Rio the maximum Building height is currently 35 ft and within the General subd District as implemented in Port Saro and Golden Gate the maximum Building height is 40 ft um so this request again is specific to the General subd District of the hobes sown CRA but I want to provide this table just to give you a picture of what's going on in the other cras staff recommend approval of the proposed ordinance amending article 12 community redevelopment code Land Development regulations Martin County Code that concludes my presentation Howard do you have any questions no sir you have any questions um the language in the ldrs is going to be changed at the same time this text language is changed I'm sorry so the the the the language in this text amendment is to the cra's building um restrictions so the ldrs are going to be yes the ldr is amended same time okay essentially by adding this footnote to that table hs5 jar no questions uh so are we right now if I were going to build this in Rio I I wouldn't need to come here correct correct so why don't we make all for this particular purpose gymnasiums why don't we make them all the same throughout all the cras and be logical uh that's Pete Walden Deputy growth management director all of the nac's for the separate uh um districts in the CRA voted to have their conditions uh as as they are approved today so hop sound was more restrictive than some of the others and that's the way they like it and that's what they voted for and that's how it got adopted so if we follow that logic we shouldn't approve this it's a change so we shouldn't approve it this did go before the hopes s NAC I believe and they did uh vote to approve the change correct on November 13th so this will be more consistent with the other cras when we're finished with it or gymnasiums or gymnasiums anywhere in the county institutional gymnasiums yes okay does the applicant have a presentation oh come on up no it's not quasi judicial R camp with ADC Architects Tom congratulations on your chairmanship members of the board good evening y um it it's it's a simple request I mean uh gymnasiums just can't perform at 30 feet uh I I think that institutional uses are kind of underrepresented in many of the CRA uh but this is a component of some of those institutional uh uses uh we do have a diagram showing um I don't know if it's I guess I can move it here oops sorry uh showing a specific gymnasium design that we've done uh obviously most of the cras require pitched roof this is a curved roof which you could kind of say is an infinite pitch roof but uh so it shows you the issue that that we have when we try to accommodate only the 35- Ft height we need about 10 ft minimum to be able to do the structure for the gymnasium roof and under that we have to place our air conditioning duct work which in gymnasiums tends to be rather large and then below that we have to have the lighting because you don't want to catch Shades and Shadows on the floor and then we still have to accommodate for the fir sprinkler so it it kind of just layers itself uh the 30 ft doesn't work and that's why we've requested the 35 ft I'm I'm glad that you brought up the the issue of maybe making it across the board but we have gone through the CRA we have gone to the NAC and have gotten their approvals so if you have any further questions I'd be happy to does anyone have any questions for Mr aapo just um so is the 35 ft going to be able you going to be able to do this yes okay any other questions do we have any questions for Fletch he stayed specifically in Martin County tonight for this I guess none Miss any questions that you can answer no for back but otherwise I'm good all right can we do we have any public comment seeing none any discussion from the board no I make a motion to approve the recommendation by staff and I get a second I'll second it do we have any other discussion seeing none all in favor I I passes unanimously thank you members of the lp John thank you just no Flags Jam for the kids right good night no air conditioning up there comprehensive plan Amendment 24-21 nine gems I don't know Miss offen Block B members of the local planning agency while uh Amy's getting started i' like to introduce myself and Amy my name is Clyde Duan I'm the comprehensive planning administrator with me is Amy Offenbach who is uh done the review on this future land use map Amendment uh by way of a little introduction I want to perhaps provide a little background information on comprehensive plan amendments um this is a future land use map Amendment it is large scale was yes it's is not a small scale uh so it goes through three public hearings this is the first one the second one will be a transmittal hearing before the board of County Commissioners where they will decide whether or not to transmit this amendment to the uh surrounding municipalities and and jurisdictions and to all the state uh agencies required by Florida statute to review it then the third public hearing is after the state agency's review and provide any comments it comes back to the board of County Commissioners for final adoption so that's the usual process for the um future land use map Amendments of this size and for text amendments to the comprehensive growth management plan um this is a legislative public hearing and uh with that I will uh turn over to miss Offenbach good evening members of the board my name as stated what is Amy Offenbach planner with the Martin County growth Management Department this is CPA 24-21 a request to change the future Lan use map on a property called Nine gems the property is owned by the southwater Management District and Martin County and the application was initiated by the board of County Commissioners with resolution 24- 3.1 clein mentioned this is an expedited Amendment requiring three public hearings and this is the first public hearing the request is to change the future land use from agricultural to institutional public conservation on 1,533 Acres located south of Bridge Road between between Southwest Pratt Whitney Road and Interstate 95 the subject was purchased with a Florida community's trust Grant and there is a deed of restrictive Co covenants requiring a future L use dedicated to Recreation and conservation this is a location map showing the subject outlined in blue and red the green hatched area is subject to a uh Wetland Reserve program easement and is not included in this amendment so just these parts figure two of the staff report is a future land use map designating the subject as Agricultural and the surrounding properties are also agricultural along with this residential neighborhood which is AG ranett I don't know if you guys can see it yep make it a little larger figure three is the proposed future land use map with the subject designated as institutional public conservation figure four shows the map of current requests and for context the subject is in the southern portion of Martin County CPA 24-21 nine gems uh section 1.4 of the staff report shows there have been many other amendments to conservation and Recreation in the area and figure five of the staff report is in the National in in Wetlands inventory map showing that a majority of the subject site has potential Wetlands on it the amendment has met all four of the criteria in order to make an amendment from section one-1 of the comprehensive plan and the amendment discourages the urban sprawl pursuant to Florida State statutes 163 and also complies with a additional criteria that discourages the urban sprawl so the amendment is consistent with the comprehensive ma uh growth management plan and staff recommends approval this concludes the presentation Jim do you have any questions for the applicant I do what you um I'm I'm absolutely in favor of this of this change but I am concerned and wondering why we don't at the same time do the uh wrp properties to the north they're both co-owned by South Florida Water Management District and the county and I just think that we're going to end up having to do it anyway at some point so the concurrency letter from the south Florida manage South Water Water Management District um stipulated those areas in red and blue only it did not include the green areas so was that initiated by the um community's trust Grant the community's trust Grant specifically is for the blue and red areas right and the other the other properties was purchased with with a different funding source yes and I guess what I'm wondering is it the community's trust that triggered the requirement to change the land use and not the WRC in the deed the the monies from the Florida communities trust stipulates that the blue and red areas must be a future land use that is yeah and I guess my concern is that the the the rest of the WRC remains in agricultural land use which is unfortunate but it is subject to a conservation easement mhm held by whom by the South Water Water Management District or by somebody else in the South Water Water Management District thank you thank you Mike um it's held by the federal government it's under conservation easement um what initiated this is the you want to introduce yourself Michael Houston senior project manager um uh Martin County Environmental resource Division and the site manager for the county uh the South FL Water Management District is in the process of initiating the Loach River Watershed restoration project which is a part of the comprehensive Everglades restoration plan and the nine gems property is Central to those efforts in order to do that they have to get uh approval from Florida community's trust to add the uh restoration hydrologic restoration plan to uh to their plan and in order to do that fct set certain criteria which included changing the Lang use and Zoning uh rewriting and revising the management plan for the nine jums property and uh then and then providing the restoration plan so uh I did ask their project manager you know if they would be willing to just do the entire property and he specified that they only wanted to do what was minimally necessary what those Parcels are so without their concurrence we can't change the Lang use but the the project goes forward with the federally granted properties regardless because it's under Federal rather than State conservation eement yes okay any other questions Mr Brown I I just hopefully I'm understanding this So currently it's agriculture which means this can be developed unless we shift to the conservation great correct okay and that was the reason for yeah that's what I that's want I just want to make sure okay gotta Jarrett no I'm good so staff is the applicant staff is the applicant

whole truth and nothing but the truth I do I do I do okay staff presents questions from the LPA oh I'm sorry it went one too many staff presents thank you once again my name is Amy Offenbach planner with the Martin County growth Management Department this request is I'm sorry the package with my work history has been turned into the clerk good for you a this request is to amend the County zoning Atlas from A2 agricultural to PC public conservation on 1,533 Acres known as n gems the property is owned by South Florida water management and Martin County and the application is concurrent with 24-21 just considered the A2 zoning district is not Con in is not consistent with the institutional public conservation future land use and if the amendment is approved the zoning must be change to the most appro appropriate zoning District so figure one again is the location map with the areas in blue and red and the green areas are not included the only zoning District that is consistent with the institution public conservation land unit is PC public conservation and the only use within the public conservation zoning district is public parks and recreation areas passive tables 3. 12.1 and 3.2.2 show the development standards and the setbacks in the PC district and the amendment is consistent with the comprehensive growth growth management plan and the standards for Amendment from the Land Development regulations figure two is the adopted zoning Atlas showing the subject designated as A2 and the surrounding is A2 and to the southeast is PUD R and to the Southwest is Iz figure three is the proposed zoning Atlas with the subject designated as the PC District and so staff recommends approval and this concludes the presentation does anybody have any questions for staff I have a
