Quasi-Judicial Hearing - Application for Conditional Use with New Construction submitted by property owner Hyer Management LLC, and representative William P. Stoddard to construct a single family home seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) at 324 South Ocean Drive, Fort Pierce, FL. The property is zoned Hutchinson Island Medium Density Residential Zone (R-4A), Parcel ID: 2401-501-0026-000-3.

• In accordance with Sections 22-59, 22-66, and 22-76 of the City Code, the applicant is requesting approval for a Conditional Use with New Construction and Design Review for a single-family home and dune crossover seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL).
• The subject property has a Future Land Use designation of Hutchinson Island Residential (HIR) with a compatible zoning district designation of Hutchinson Island Medium Density Residential (R-4A). The properties to the north, south, and west also have a Future Land Use and Zoning designations of HIR and zoned R-4A, respectively. The Atlantic Ocean is to the east.
• The subject site is seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL); therefore, the proposed construction requires authorization of a Conditional Use to advance for permitting. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) regulates the seaward most limits for construction and will review the final proposal according to established coastal construction guidelines. The seaward most limits depend on the existing line of construction in the immediate area, the landward toe of the frontal dune, and the landward limits of the projected 30-year erosion.
• The Planning Board at their meeting on March 10, 2020 voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the request as presented.
• 67 letters were sent out to property owners within 500 feet of the subject property. An update will be given at the City Commission meeting regarding the property owners' opinion of the subject petition.
