Zoning Text Amendment - Establish Port of Fort Pierce Overlay Zoning District

The City Commission directed staff at its December 14, 2020, City Commission Conference meeting, to bring forward a rezoning of the area identified within the Port Master Plan in order to promote redevelopment of such.

Therefore, the proposed Port of Fort Pierce Overlay Zoning District is proposed to preserve deep-water access for port and maritime uses consistent with the development concepts outlined within the Port of Fort Pierce Master Plan (Port Master Plan), to facilitate appropriate uses, particularly port and marine-related operations, and other water-dependent or related uses. 

The proposed development regulations provide for a wide variety of maritime related uses.

The existing zoning and future land use of the parcels within the Port of Fort Pierce Overlay Zoning District are proposed to remain in place at this time.

Staff recommendation is for the Planning Board to discuss the proposed overlay and receive feedback to direct staff to move forward with a final version of the Overlay Code.
