A. Residential Density, Transferable Development Credits and Density Multipliers

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting · 2026-07-16 · agenda_item

A proposal is under review for The Club at Indrio Creek, located in St. Lucie County. The project involves a future land use framework that allows for transferable development credits and density multipliers. The site, totaling approximately 126 acres, currently has a base residential density of 1 to 2 dwelling units per acre. The applicant seeks to increase this density to 3 dwelling units per acre by using transferred development rights from areas designated as Countryside or Created/Restored Native Habitat. A minimum density of 5 dwelling units per acre is also required for the new developable area. This item is currently under review by the Planning & Zoning Commission, with discussions ongoing regarding the specific land areas eligible for density multipliers. The project could eventually involve site preparation, utility work, road construction, and the building of residential structures, followed by landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope as plans develop, potentially securing opportunities before formal bidding processes begin.
