This item concerns proposed open space standards for a park development in St. Lucie County. The plan requires at least twenty percent of the gross site area to be dedicated to open space, recreation, and buffering. This space could include amenities like marinas, swimming pools, beaches, tennis courts, picnic areas, playgrounds, and paths. The proposal is currently under review by the Board of Adjustments. If approved, this project would involve site preparation, grading, landscaping, and the construction of various recreational facilities and buffering zones. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site prep, landscaping, and construction trades should monitor this item as it moves through the review process. Early engagement before final plans and permits are issued could provide a competitive advantage.
