3.01.00. - ZONING DISTRICT USE REGULATIONS
3.01.01. - Generally.
A. Permitted Uses. No structure or land in the unincorporated area of St. Lucie County shall hereafter be constructed, built, moved, remodeled, reconstructed, used, or occupied except in accordance with the requirements of the zoning district in which the structure or land is located, unless it is a nonconformity under the provisions of Section 10.00.02 of this Code.
B. Conditional Uses. No structure or land shall be constructed, built, remodeled, reconstructed, used, or occupied as a conditional use under this Code except as approved under the procedures and requirements of Section 11.07.00, and the standards of Section 11.07.03.
C. Accessory Uses and Structures. Accessory structures and uses are permitted in any zoning district in connection with any principal lawfully existing permitted use within such district, or in connection with any existing conditional use within such district, subject to the requirements of Section 11.07.00, provided that all accessory structures or uses shall meet the requirements for the zoning district in which the structure or use is located, as provided in Section 3.01.01, and all other requirements of this Section.
D. Public Services and Facilities. The intent of this Section is to address infrastructure improvements that provide essential or important public services that by their nature may be required throughout unincorporated St. Lucie County.
1. Transportation and Utility Rights-of-Way. Transportation and utility rights-of-way, except for those utility rights-of-way subject to review and approval under F.S. Ch. 403, Part II, and the linear portion of transportation facilities, e.g., pipes, poles lines, wires, cables, conduits, pavement rails, drainage and other similar equipment and accessories in connection herewith, shall be permitted in all zoning districts and shall comply, as applicable, with the resource protection and development standards for vegetation protection, protection of environmentally sensitive lands, protection of
habitat for endangered and threatened species, flood damage prevention and stormwater management.
Prior to any local certification of consistency for those utility rights-of-way subject to review and approval under F.S. Ch. 403, Part II, a conditional use review, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.07.03, shall be required.
2. Essential Utility Service Facilities. Essential Utility Service Facilities that support the operation and function of a utility service provider shall be permitted in all zoning districts, subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section. For purposes of this Section, the term "service provider" shall mean a public entity; a Florida Public Service Commission certificated utility entity, a non-regulated utility entity such as a cable television service provider, or a public or a quasi-public entity, such as a community development district or drainage district.
a. Essential Utility Service Facilities parcels shall be exempt from the lot width, lot size and road frontage requirements, but all improvements on a parcel or parcels shall meet the maximum height requirements and all buildings and structures shall also meet the setback requirements of the zoning district in which they are located. The improvements shall comply with all resource protection and development standards for vegetation protection, protection of environmentally sensitive lands, protection of habitat for endangered and threatened species, flood damage prevention and stormwater management. In addition, above ground mechanical improvements located outside the right-of-way and adjacent to residentially zoned property and road rights-of-way shall be screened by landscaping with the type and location of the improvement and landscape treatments to be determined at the time of permitting.
b. Essential Utility Service Facilities involving buildings or structures that shield the infrastructure for aesthetic purposes or that provide storage incidental to the Essential Utility Service shall be permitted upon a demonstration of compliance with all applicable sections of this Code, and the provisions below:
1) The cumulative area of the Essential Utility Service Facilities building or structure shall not exceed 300 square feet. Essential Utility Service Facilities involving buildings or structures with a cumulative total area larger than 300 square feet, or not compliant with this Section, shall only be permitted within a zoning district when specifically listed as a permitted, conditional or accessory use.
2) The Essential Utility Service Facilities building or structure shall comply with all applicable building codes, resource protection and development design standards, including landscaping and screening requirements. Where necessary, the Planning and Development Services Director may approve alternative plans for security purposes or to ensure compatibility with the surrounding zoning district and existing uses.
3) Within residentially zoned areas, Essential Utility Service Facilities buildings or structures shall require approval by the Planning and Development Services Director. The Director shall deny any building or structure that would likely create an adverse impact on neighboring properties.
c. Essential Utility Service Facilities, as defined in this Code, existing as of May 1, 2012 shall be considered permitted uses in the zoning district in which they are
located and allowed to continue in compliance with this Code and any applicable conditions of approval.
3. Public services and facilities not meeting the provisions for Transportation and Utility Rights-of-way or Essential Utility Service Facilities, including but not limited to those involving distribution substations, generation plants, treatment plants, or stormwater pumping stations shall be permitted within zoning districts only when listed as a permitted or conditional use. Where an Essential Utility Service Facilities improvement is specifically addressed in another section of this Code, and conflicts with this Section, the most restrictive requirements shall apply.
In the event any of the provisions of this Section prohibit the installation of an emergency improvement or a utility improvement required by an environmental regulatory agency, the Planning and Development Services Director may grant a waiver of the provisions of this Section upon determination that strict application would result in a threat to public health, safety or welfare. ;hn0 (Ord. No. 12-009, Pt. A, 4-17-2012)
3.01.02. - Administrative Use Regulations for Permitted and Conditional Uses.
A. For the purposes of clarifying and detailing the intent and purpose of the uses of the Zoning Districts in ?? 3.01.03(A) through 3.01.03(HH), the Planning and Development Services Director shall utilize the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual (1987 ed.), prepared by the Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget.
B. Whenever a use is not specifically listed in Sections 3.01.03(A) through 3.01.03(HH) the Planning and Development Services Director shall make a determination as to whether the proposed use is of the same general type as identified in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual (1987 ed.), prepared by the Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget. When a proposed use is listed in another Section, the Director may make a determination whether the use may also be appropriate in another district based upon an analysis of compatibility. The analysis of compatibility shall include, but not necessarily be limited to: traffic circulation, parking, noise, odor, hours of operation, buffers, stormwater run-off, or other determinations of impacts on nearby residences, uses or districts. Should the Director determine a proposed use is compatible in another district, future similar use proposals in the same district will have a presumption of compatibility.
