BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
This is a request by Thomas Engineering Group, LLC on behalf of Live Oak Capital Partners for approval of a Major Final Site Plan to construct a 3-story, approximately 94,132 square foot residential storage facility and associated infrastructure on an approximate 4-acre undeveloped property. The property is located east of SE Federal Highway approximately 0.28 miles south of SE Heritage Boulevard, south of the Bethel Lutheran Church in Hobe Sound. Included in this application is a request for a Certificate of Public Facilities Reservation.
The future land use designation for the subject property is Medium Density with a RS-6, Medium Density Residential zoning district. Access to the property is proposed from one location from SE Federal Highway. The property is abutting conservation land to the south and a church located on medium density land use to the north.
The proposed use is not permitted in the existing zoning and requires approval of a separate application amending the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to assign a Commercial General future land use and General Commercial zoning district.

RECOMMENDATION
