Port St. Lucie Blvd Port St. Lucie, FL 34984 Re: City of Port St. Lucie Draft Phase One Mobility Plan & Mobility Fee Technical Dear Mr. Blackburn: Enclosed is the Technical Report for the City of Port St. Lucie Phase One Mobility Plan and Mobility Fee. This Technical Report has been prepared to document the methodology used to develop the Phase One Mobility Plan and Mobility Fee. The Mobility Fee is based upon the mobility and multimodal corridors and intersections included in the Phase One Mobility Plan. The Phase One Mobility Plan and Mobility Fee are consistent with all legal and statutory requirements and meet the dual rational nexus test and the rough proportionality test. The Mobility Fee features two assessment areas, with a lower fee east of the St. Lucie River in support of the City’s ongoing efforts to promote infill and redevelopment along the US Hwy 1 corridor. The Phase One Mobility Plan and Mobility Fee Technical Report has been prepared to allow the Mobility Fee to become effective October 1st, 2021 should the City Council elect to adopt the Plan and Fee. The Phase Two Mobility Plan will actively engage the public, community stakeholders, the development community, governmental partners, and the City Council is identifying specific improvements along corridors and at intersections to enhance mobility within and surrounding the City. An update of the Mobility Fee may be required depending on the final Phase Two Mobility Plan. The Mobility Fee will provide the City Council with the ability to prioritize and fund multimodal transportation improvements that best serve the City’s residents, businesses, and visitors. I look forward to continuing working with you and your Staff in preparation for the 1st reading of the Mobility Plan and Mobility Fee implementing ordinance. Sincerely, Jonathan B. Paul Jonathan B.

Page 3 Phase One Mobility Plan & Mobility Fee EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 1985, the Florida Legislature passed the Growth Management Act that required all local governments in Florida adopt Comprehensive Plans to guide future development and mandated that adequate public facilities be provided “concurrent” with the impacts of new development. Transportation concurrency became the measure used by local governments to ensure that adequate public facilities, in the form of road capacity, was available to meet the transportation demands from new development. By 1993, the Florida Legislature recognized an unintended consequence of transportation concurrency is that it essentially stopped development in urban areas where road capacity was constrained and pushed development to suburban and rural areas where road capacity was either available or was cheaper to construct. In 2007, the Legislature introduced the concept of mobility plans and mobility fees as a replacement of transportation concurrency, proportionate share and road impact fees. In 2011, the Legislature eliminated state mandated transportation concurrency and made it optional for “any local government”. In 2013, the Legislature encouraged “local governments”, defined equally in Florida Statute as “counties and municipalities”, to adopt alternative mobility funding systems, such as mobility fees based on a plan of improvements, as an alternative to transportation concurrency, proportionate share and road impact fees. In 2019, the Legislature required mobility fees follow the same statutory requirements as impact fees. In October 2020, the City Council adopted amendments to the Comprehensive Plan that reflected the City’s interest in the development of a multimodal transportation system and consideration of implementing a mobility fee to fund capital improvements for the multimodal transportation system. The City also accepted a final Multimodal Plan report to serve as a guide to enhance mobility throughout the City and promote multimodal transportation through new sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and greenways. In January 2021, the City provided notice to St. Lucie County that it intends to terminate its interlocal agreement and will no longer collect a County road impact fee for development within the City effective October 1st, 2021.

    ISSUE ONE ISSUE PARK GROVE 4 5 WORDS Dr. Paul George, Ph.D. little more than a century ago, Greater Miami was a vast wilderness with small clusters of hardy settlers living along the shores of Biscayne Bay. One of those communities was Coconut Grove, which, since the late nineteenth century, has enjoyed a reputation as south Florida’s A most attractive, dynamic and independent-minded community. Its natural setting is unrivaled, for Coconut Grove looks out from behind lush subtropical foliage toward the turquoise waters of the Bay. The province of Tequesta Indians until recent centuries, Coconut Grove was, by the early nineteenth century, a favorite stop for mariners attracted to the bubbling fresh water springs on its waterfront. After the Cape Florida Lighthouse opened in 1825, light keepers and their assistants became frequent visitors to Coconut Grove. Wreckers or salvagers of disabled ships also visited the area. By the middle decades of the nineteenth century, It was Munroe who suggested to his British friends Coconut Grove’s first known permanent residents, that they open a guest house in the area for its Edmund (“Ned”) and Ann Beasley, lived along its ever-growing number of visitors. The Peacocks bay front in the area around today’s Barnacle State opened the Bay View Inn, a simple wood frame Park. When Ned died, Ann rented a portion of their structure, in 1882 in today’s Peacock Park. It was property to Dr. Horace Porter, a onetime Union the first “hotel” in the area. Some of the Inn’s early surgeon. Porter applied for a U.S.

  • Old Smokey: Volume 14 the Former City of Miami Incinerator and Its Effects on the Community Today by Elizabeth Fata
    HBCP CCENTER FORE ETHICS &P PUBLIC SSERVICE Old Smokey: Volume 14 The Former City of Miami Incinerator and Its Effects on the Community Today By Elizabeth Fata The 2014-2015 academic year has been a busy one for the Center’s Envi- ronmental Justice Project (EJP). The EJP began in 2012 as an interdisciplinary project dedicated to remedying environmental injustices in Miami-Dade County. Since 2013, the EJP has been deeply involved in research and an investigation into the former City of Miami trash incinerator, Old Smokey. Beginning in 1926 and operating until 1970, the City of Miami ran a solid waste incinerator located at 3425 Jefferson Street in West Coconut Grove. The incinerator was sited in the middle of the Jim Crow segregated neigh- borhood of the West Grove. Residential houses, schools, and churches occupied by black Bahamian and African-American settlers surrounded the incinerator. To this day, many of the same residences, schools, and churches still exist. The incinerator always operated poorly and would rain ash, soot, and stench down on the adjacent communities. West Grove residents’ complaints and requests for the incinerator to be shut down consistently went unanswered. The complaints and visible af- fects of Old Smokey on the West Grove community became more pro- nounced in the 1940s and 1950s. This was due to the growing population in the City of Miami and thus the growing amount of trash fed to Old Smokey. In the late 1950s, the City of Miami invested in renovations to Old Smokey. These renovations were to be “state of the art” and create a “smokeless and odorless” incinerator.
