Quasi-Judicial Hearing - Application for Site Plan (Development and Design Review) submitted by property owner, JBL Fort Pierce Industrial, and applicant Engineering Design & Construction, Inc., for Crossroads Parkway Warehouse generally located on the east side of Crossroads Parkway and west of I-95 to construct a 207,458 square foot office/warehouse building. The property is zoned Commercial Parkway (CP-1). Parcel ID(s): 2324-710-0018-000-0, 2324-710-0019-000-7, 2324-710-0020-000-7, 2324-710-0021-000-4, and 2324-710-0022-000-1.

In accordance with Sections 125-313 and 125-314 of the City Code, the applicant is requesting the review and approval of a Site Plan (Development and Design Review) to develop the subject five (5) parcels for approximately 207,458 square feet office/warehouse use with associated site improvements. As the building is being developed speculatively, there is no end user identified at this time. As such, the applicant is requesting elevations with a variety of exterior colors to suit, as displayed on the following page. These elements have been shown in a reasonable configuration for future leasing activity. They will be designed to be flexible in nature, so they can be modified to be consistent with actual tenanting needs without compromising the design intent. Similarly, knockout panels will be incorporated wherever appropriate to provide flexibility for future tenant configurations that are unknown at this time. The subject parcels have a Future Land Use designation of General Commercial (GC) with a compatible zoning classification of Commercial Parkway Zone (CP-1).
 

The proposed Site Plan (Development Review and Design Review) application adheres to the requirements of the City Land Development Code and guidelines of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and does not appear to adversely affect the public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL of the requested application with the following conditions: 

1. Pursuant to City Code Section 123-66.(d) -Tree protection and mitigation, a final Tree Mitigation Plan shall be approved by staff prior to the issuance of a Building Permit.
