St. Lucie County Commissioners approved the North County

St. Lucie County Commissioners approved the North County Charrette Plan, which applies traditional neighborhood design to a 28-square-mile area (see the September 2005 issue for more details). After a 3-2 vote in October, commissioners sent the plan to Tallahassee for review by the state. Created by a team headed by the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, the North County Charrette Plan will preserve about 50 percent of the land as countryside while focusing development into new towns and villages.
