Annexation - Tall Pines
Parcel IDs: 1433-210-0003-000-9 and 1433-310-0002-000-9

Request for review of an application for an of two (2) parcels into the City, with a City Future Land Use Designation of RL, Residential Low-Density, and a City Zoning of R-1, Single Family Low-Density Zone.
 
The subject properties have a St. Lucie County Future Land Use Designation of RM, Residential Medium, and a St. Lucie County Zoning designation of RMH-5, Residential, Mobile Home – 5/du. To ensure consistency with Policy 1.11.5 of the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the proposed Future Land Use Designation for the parcels is RL, Residential Low-Density, with a Zoning Classification of R-1, Single Family Low-Density Residential Zone.
 
Pursuant to Comprehensive Plan policy 1.11.5 “properties annexed shall receive a land use designation compatible with the County land use designation, unless otherwise approved by the City Commission.” Staff has confirmed that the properties are located within unincorporated St. Lucie County and is contiguous to the Fort Pierce City municipal boundary and within the FPUA service area. The proposed voluntary annexation is also consistent with Chapter 171.044, F.S., whereas the property is contiguous to a municipality and reasonably compact; and the annexation will not result in the creation of an enclave.
 
The current taxable value of the property is $10,607,900. Should the Application for Annexation be approved, and future development of the land occurs, the property could create a new source of ad-valorem tax revenue annually to the City of Fort Pierce, depending on the millage rate per year, which currently is 6.9000.
 

Staff recommends that the Planning Board recommend approval of the proposed Annexation to the City Commission.
