A new Costco warehouse store is a step closer to opening on the Treasure Coast after an initial vote by the Stuart City Commission.
Currently, there is a Costco in Palm Beach Gardens to the south and in Melbourne to the north, but that could change.
Commissioners gave unanimous approval during a meeting on Tuesday on the condition that developers address more than a dozen conditions the city requested.
The proposal was to build a 162,000 square foot store, featuring 18 gas pumps. There would also be an apartment complex with nearly 400 units, as well as retail and restaurant space.

STUART Southeast Central Parkway could see 172 more apartments now that the City Commission has approved a multi-family development that faced opposition from both neighbors and two commissioners.
The commission s second vote on Central Parkway Lofts barely passed Monday. As they did for the first vote March 8, Mayor Eula Clarke and Vice Mayor Merritt Matheson dissented.
The developer, New York-based Farrell Building Co., amended its plans since that first vote, removing one of the originally proposed five buildings. That lowered the density from 29.5 units per acre to 25.9, and increased open space from 27% to 32%.
City code allows for up to 30 units per acre with commission approval.
