PRESET:
PROCEDURES: Quasi-Judicial
BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The property is located north of Bridge Road, approximately one mile east of the I-95 Interchange in unincorporated Martin County, Florida. The project area includes all of the Hobe Sound Polo Club recorded plat, which consists of approximately 1,307 acres and Tract D of the Grove Golf Club recorded plat, which consists of approximately 223 acres.
The proposed project consists of a maximum of 317 residential units on approximately 1,530 acres resulting in a gross residential density of approximately 1 unit per 5 acres.
A land use change from Agricultural to Rural Lifestyle was adopted on September 13, 2022. The PUD Master Site plan including the Zoning Agreement and Phasing Plan were also adopted on September 13, 2022.
The first amendment to the Discovery PUD including Phase 1B final site plan, which included all earthwork, lake construction, site excavation and mass grading activities to support the golf course and residential areas, construct future roads, drainageways, lake interconnections, lake littoral zones, upland transition areas and habitat restoration area was approved October 24, 2023. The PUD amendment included minor changes to the zoning agreement, master site plan and phasing plan.
This proposed second amendment to the Discovery PUD relocates the 18 golf cottages from the main golf course and lake clubhouse tract to the short course clubhouse tract and revises the phasing plan to consolidate the road and lot development program previously within Phases 4A and 5 into a single Phase 2A. The consolidation of the residential lots and adjoining common areas and future development tracts into a single phase will make the Phase 2A final site plan consistent with the pending plat application.
The proposed Phase 2A final site plan includes the construction of roads, utilities and drainage improvements and support for all 317 single family lots, adjacent common areas and future development tracts. Phase 2A includes the construction of a traffic signal at the projects main entrance on Bridge Road and construction of a public access road from Bridge Road to the existing equestrian and staging areas that will be dedicated to the Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park.
