About this data

Compiled from City of Stuart ordinances, resolutions, and meeting records, all available through the City Clerk's office. This list includes every residential approval during the tenure shown — including the two projects he voted against (Watermark's second reading and Central Parkway Lofts) and three Avonlea phases where he abstained due to a declared family conflict of interest, totaling 260 units. We're showing you everything, because that's how this should work.

Where Derreck Stands

When you buy property in Stuart, you know what it's zoned for. Changing land classifications and rewriting zoning rules to suit a developer isn't a property right — it's a favor. Derreck will vote no on land classification and zoning changes. Plain and simple.
