Table 16. St. Lucie County Corridor Preservation Objectives and Policies, Continued
Policy 2.1.4.3 Use the minimum right-of-way standards as described in the LDC to implement the thoroughfare right-of-way protection plan.
Source: Transportation Element, St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, Adopted 4/2/2019. The St. Lucie County Thoroughfare Network Right-of-Way Protection Plan is referenced in the St. Lucie County Land Development Code under section 7.05.03 (Rights-of-Way Determinations, Dedications, and Improvements). Within this section is the Right-of-Way Protection Map, dated December 15, 2010, which depicts the location and number of lanes for roads in St Lucie County (Figure 14). A note on the map indicates that the map may not be the most current or accurate and is not a legally binding document. The Comprehensive Plan references the map in the Land Development Code and contains two other maps that depict road locations, lane numbers, and are similar to the right-of-way map in the code: the Number of Lanes Map (TRN-1) and the Future (2040) Number of Lanes Map (TRN-2) (both prepared July 23, 2018). County Staff indicated a desire to update the Thoroughfare Network Right-of- Way Protection Plan to ensure that it reflects the LRTP of TPO. Policy 2.1.4.5 Review bi-annually the status of the thoroughfare right-of-way protection plan and submit any changes to that plan as necessary to address the mobility needs of the community. Policy 2.1.4.4 Roadways and roadway corridors shown on the thoroughfare right-of-way protection plan, excluding those that are part of the SIS, that are outside of the urban service area of the County shall not be widened or constructed until it is demonstrated to the County that the roadway construction is required to meet the development impacts of the area. Nothing in this Policy shall be construed or otherwise interpreted as to restrict or limit the ability of the County, the State or other lawful entity, to perform routine maintenance, rehabilitation or safety improvements to any roadways or roadway corridor located outside of the urban service area.
