PROCEDURES: Quasi-Judicial
BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
Newfield, a Planned Mixed-Use Community, received approval for a Development Agreement between the Developer and Martin County on December 15, 2020. The property has a future land use of Mixed-Use Village (MUV) and a zoning district of Planned Mixed-Use Village (PMUV), both of which are unique to the Newfield development. Article 11 of the Martin County Land Development Regulations implements the applicable regulations for Newfield. Contained within this Article 11 is a Regulating Plan which establishes the general location, size, and type of neighborhoods as well as other important elements that define the overall structure of Newfield development.
The overall development potential of Newfield, in terms of the maximum non-residential square footage, and maximum number of residential units, is regulated by the Development Agreement and by the Comprehensive Plan Policy 4.13A.15(4). Pursuant to this Agreement and Policy, 4,200 residential dwelling units, 290,000 square feet of commercial/retail/office uses, and 2,000,000 square feet/300 acres of other non-residential uses are permitted throughout Newfield.
Concurrent with the Development Agreement, the first master plan from the Crossroads Neighborhood was approved on December 15, 2020. Consistent with this Crossroads master plan, one infrastructure final site plan (Phase 1A) has been approved, and subsequently two final site plans for vertical construction within the area of the infrastructure plan have been approved. Two infrastructure final site plans, Phase 2A and Phase 3A, and one additional final site plan are currently under review.
The subject application is the second master plan for Newfield, the SD-W East neighborhood. The subject master plan area is generally located west of the Florida Turnpike, north of SW Newfield Parkway (fka SW Citrus Boulevard), approximately 0.36 miles east of SW Boat Ramp Avenue in Palm City. The SD-W east neighborhood master plan is approximately 193.18 acres and will contain a mix of uses including multifamily residential, industrial uses, and commercial/office/retail uses. The intention of the SD-W neighborhood is to allow for light industrial and office function within an overall mixed-use setting, maintaining the goal of compact, walkable urban form.
The subject master plan is proposing 436 residential units (10.4% of total units permitted in Newfield development), 34,070 square feet of commercial/office/retail (11.75% of total permitted in Newfield development), and 1,100,000 square feet of other nonresidential uses (55% of total permitted in Newfield development).
Within the SD-W East Neighborhood is approximately 48 acres of wetlands which will be included in PAMP III at time of submittal of the first final site plan within the subject master plan area.
Approval of this master plan is contingent upon the approval of revisions to Article 11 (LDR 24-05) being processed concurrent with this subject application.
Review of this application is not required by the Local Planning Agency (LPA). Public notice posting of the site is not required pursuant to Article 11.
