Pursuant to Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes, local governments are required to adopt and maintain a Comprehensive Plan that addresses the principles, guidelines, standards, and strategies for the orderly and balanced future economic, social, physical, environmental, and fiscal development of the area. The St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan consists of goals, objectives and policies (text), maps, data and support documents which form the foundation of the County's planning program and guides future growth and community development.  The Comprehensive Plan is intended to promote and implement plans, policies and public improvements which enhance the quality of life for St. Lucie County residents, protect natural resources and promote economic development, while recognizing the differing needs and values of each of the County's unique communities and diverse land area. The County's Comprehensive Plan includes a Future Land Use (FLU) Map, with FLU designations for all property in unincorporated St. Lucie County.
