The Magnolia Ridge of Palm City PUD Zoning Agreement and master/final site plan were approved June 16, 2020 by the Board of County Commissioners.
As a result of the review of the plat application, minor technical adjustments were required to the previously approved master/final site plan. As a result, the PUD Zoning Agreement needs to be amended to revise the master/final site plan. The proposed First Amendment to the Magnolia Ridge at Palm City PUD Zoning Agreement that consists of a revised Exhibit D, Master/Final Site Plan is attached for approval.
Pursuant to Article 10, Land Development Regulations (LDR), Martin County Code, review of this application by the Local Planning Agency was not required. Final action on this application is required by the Board in a public meeting pursuant to Table 10.5.F.9, LDR, Martin County Code.

LEGAL SUFFICIENCY REVIEW:

Quasi-judicial proceedings must be conducted with more formality than a legislative proceeding. In quasi-judicial proceedings, parties are entitled - as a matter of due process - to cross examine witnesses, present evidence, demand that witnesses testify under oath, and demand a decision that is based on a correct application of the law and competent substantial evidence in the record.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
RECOMMENDATION
1. Move that the Board receive and file the agenda item and staff report as Exhibit 1.
2. Move that the Board approve the plat for Magnolia Ridge including the Contract for Construction of Required Improvements and Infrastructure.
