Chairman Creyaufmiller introduced all the annexations. Mr. Creagan gave a brief explanation and showed an aerial map of each property being annexed. Mr. Creagan stated through FPUA annexation agreements, the city is seeking to annex properties that are contiguous to the city limits to square off the city boundaries. Mr. Creagan explained the process of what happens when someone signs a FPUA annexation agreement and he stated the city will be doing annexation agreements every quarter.
Mr. Creagan answered questions from the Board on county zoning versus city zoning, agricultural zoning, and density of surrounding annexed areas.
Mr. Creagan noted that once a property is annexed into the City of Fort Pierce, the property owner will receive city sewer, garbage service, trash pickup and be served by the City of Fort Pierce Police department.
Mr. Sweeney added that once annexed, the property owner will become an official citizen of Fort Pierce, and be able to vote for city officials.
Mr. Sanders commented that it would be helpful to see current city boundaries on the aerial maps, along with the proposed zoning and future land use.
Chairman Creyaufmiller pointed out that county, and like, city land use and zoning designations sometimes are not completely compatible. Mr. Broderick asked staff to specifically point out to the Board any annexation where the zoning is a little different and does not completely match up.
Ms. Guerra stated that as the City annexes land, and the City’s boundaries get filled in, more properties will be able to be brought forward in the future that meet the State’s requirements for annexation.
Ms. Johnson Scott asked about the process for projects that were started in St. Lucie County and are now in the City of Fort Pierce. Mr. Creagan said that the city will honor the setbacks and lot coverage and process the current building permits.
