Nature Park provides a 52-acre open space bordered by 1.0 mile of shoreline for public use on the<br />

Banana River. The City continues to investigate opportunities to develop increased access to the<br />

Banana River. The City has no marina facilities <strong>and</strong> has a policy to not provide such facilities in the<br />

future.<br />

The City will continue to provide public access to the oceanic shoreline, <strong>and</strong> the potential exists for<br />

providing additional access to the Banana River as Samsons Isl<strong>and</strong> Nature Park is developed. Given<br />

the current l<strong>and</strong> use pattern of the City, no criteria for shoreline uses other than public access would<br />

be appropriate.<br />

Economic Base<br />

The economic base of the coastal area is comprised of residential l<strong>and</strong> use, services, <strong>and</strong> facilities to<br />

meet the needs of the resident <strong>and</strong> seasonal population. As noted in the Future L<strong>and</strong> Use Element,<br />

less than 1.0% of the City's l<strong>and</strong> area (5 acres in a single tract) will be developed with industrial uses<br />

at the time of build-out. Service businesses, as well as retail establishments within the City,<br />

primarily serve the needs of City residents. They also serve non-City clientele due to the regional<br />

trade area of some City businesses. The ratio of commercial l<strong>and</strong> use to residential l<strong>and</strong> use in<br />

<strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> is approximately 1:10, which indicates the City does not have a substantial<br />

commercial/service trade area beyond the City’s boundaries.<br />

Historic Resources<br />

The City of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> has no areas or structures known to be appropriate for historic<br />

preservation. Neither the Florida Master Site File maintained by the Division of Historic Resources<br />

nor the National Register of Historic Places contains references to sites or structures within the City.<br />

Holy Apostles Episcopal Church, built in Fort Pierce by local artisans with local materials in 1905<br />

<strong>and</strong> moved by barge to <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> in the 1950s when no longer needed at its original location, is<br />

the only known potential c<strong>and</strong>idate for listing as a historic structure in the City. Aerial photography<br />

taken in 1954 shows no structures within current City boundaries. The only infrastructure evident is<br />

a two-lane SR A1A <strong>and</strong> east-west drainage channels.<br />

Coastal High-Hazard Area (CHHA)<br />

The Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) is the area defined by the Sea, Lake, <strong>and</strong> Overl<strong>and</strong> Surge<br />

from Hurricanes (SLOSH) Model to be inundated from a category one hurricane as established by<br />

the most recent hurricane evacuation study prepared by the East Central Florida Regional Planning<br />

Council (ECFRPC). In the City of <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong>, the CHHA encompasses a thin strip of l<strong>and</strong> along<br />

the Atlantic Coastline <strong>and</strong> the westernmost part of the City, which is for the most part, located west<br />

of South Patrick Drive. As shown on the CHHA map.<br />

Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL)<br />

Permit approval for oceanfront development must be obtained from both the <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> City<br />

Council <strong>and</strong> the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The FDEP administers<br />

the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) <strong>and</strong> thirty-year erosion setbacks to minimize impacts<br />
