Fort Pierce City Council approves final site plan for Symphony Lakes development
The Fort Pierce Planning Board convened on June 9, 2025, to discuss the final site plan for the Symphony Lakes planned development, located at 4300 Salvage Road. This meeting followed a previous application that established a master site plan for the property, which was approved in June 2024.

The current proposal involves a final planned development (PD) site plan that includes three parcel IDs. The plan outlines the development of 286 single-family residential units, achieving a density of 3.2 dwelling units per acre. Notably, the plan exceeds the master plan's requirement of 20% open space, offering 43% open space in this phase.

The approved master site plan includes multiple pods, with the largest residential pod providing access to Salvage Road. The development also incorporates multi-family residential units, light industrial uses, and self-storage facilities. During public hearings for the master site plan, concerns from residential property owners on Christiansen Drive were addressed, leading to amendments that limit access to the site. The final plan now allows only emergency access from Christiansen, eliminating other proposed access points.

The site is currently vacant, surrounded by residential properties to the east and south, with a canal to the north and Salvage Road to the west. The Planning Board's discussions highlighted the ongoing efforts to balance development with community concerns, ensuring that the Symphony Lakes project aligns with the city's growth objectives while addressing the needs of existing residents.
