BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
This is a request by Palm Pike Crossing, LLC and Palm City Wagas VII, LLC for approval of a plat consistent with the master and final site plan for a five (5) lot commercial subdivision of approximately 27.5 acres with shared infrastructure.

Included in this application is a request for a Certificate of Public Facilities Exemption.
Proposed is the creation of five commercial lots, with proposed commercial development on each of the lots, and supporting infrastructure. The site is undeveloped and contains wetland and upland habitat, so the site plan and plat of the subdivision include the establishment of wetland and upland preserve areas with buffers separately from the commercial lots. Access to the site will be provided from SW Martin Highway to the North and SW High Meadow Ave to the east.
The Palm Pike Crossing Master Site Plan, Phase 1 Final Site Plan, and Phasing Plan were approved by the Board of County Commissioners on April 13, 2021.
