He then yielded the floor to City Planning Consultant Bill Brisson to present the Planning Staff Report. The Planning Board reviewed Petition No. 10-003-SSA at their August 19 meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval based on the Planning Staff's findings as follows: The petition is consistent with land use categories and plan policies as requested due to the commercial future land use designation being consistent with the general pattern of commercial expansion evident in the area within two blocks of North Parrott Avenue (U.S. Highway 441 North). Further, the property has been used as a nursing home for over 25 years, it is the City's largest private employer and is located adjacent to the hospital. Public Facilities are adequate, as this property has been fully developed and operating for years. The nursing home has been and will continue to be compatible with existing and future uses in the vicinity. Changing the land use category will have no effect except to eliminate existing inconsistences among zoning, future land use and the existing use. The Council noted this was the correct way to clean up the inconsistencies of this property and maps. SEPTEMBER 14, 2010 - REGULAR MEETING & FIRST BUDGET HEARING - PAGE 4 OF 10 AGENDA VI.

Administrator Whitehall and Mr. Brisson reviewed the proposed ordinance with Council and explained that nursing homes are not listed as a permitted or special use in any zoning category. The Planning Board recommended that the Council allow them as a Special Exception Use within Heavy Commercial. Attorney Cook is recommending that we allow them as a Special Exception within Light Commercial and as permitted uses in both Heavy Commercial and Industrial. This proposed ordinance, as written, allows them as a Special Exception within Light Commercial, Heavy Commercial and Industrial. The Council discussed the pros and cons of Permitted versus Special Exception in that either gives the right to be granted unless they cannot meet the extra conditions placed on that use and it adds protection for surrounding 11 property owners.

Review of the 2010 Evaluation and Appraisal Report of the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan - City Planning Consultant. It was also clarified to the Council that this property owner would not have to apply for a Special Exception, as this use was in existence prior to the Land Development Regulations being adopted. VOTE KIRK - YEA MARKHAM - YEA O'CONNOR - YEA WATFORD - YEA WILLIAMS - YEA MOTION CARRIED. The Sacred Heart Catholic Church is building a new facility which requires 167 parking spaces (as per Code Book Section 90-512). The current facility has 127 parking spaces for a total of 294 required. The Church is proposing to use the existing 127 paved parking spaces, adding 61 more paved spaces and reserving 114 unpaved (grass) parking spaces. The Code Book allows the Council to reduce up to 75 percent of the required parking. This request is to reduce the parking by 64 percent and comes with a recommendation from the Technical Review Committee. Staff is also requesting the Council stipulate that the grass parking be reserved and that no permanent construction be erected on that area and should the City deem it required, the grass parking would then have to be paved. Council Member Watford moved to approve the (64 percent) parking reduction for Sacred Heart Catholic Church, approving to reduce the parking by 106 spaces, with the condition, future grass parking area,114 spaces, not be used for any permanent construction and the City reserves the right to require the 114 spaces be paved should it be deemed necessary; seconded by Council Member Williams. KIRK - YEA WATFORD - YEA VOTE MARKHAM - YEA WILLIAMS - YEA O'CONNOR - YEA MOTION CARRIED. Every 10 years the City Council is mandated by the State to review the status of the Comprehensive Plan, make major revisions and set new goals, objectives and polices which will govern land development for the next 10 years. The review is entitled "Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR)." The Planning Board, acting as the City's Local Planning Agency has reviewed various issues over the last year. This is the next step in the process, which is to have the Council review a preliminary report, then it will be forwarded to the Department of Community Affairs. This is not an adoption, there will be several workshops and public hearings held next year for the official adoption process.

Mayor announces that the purpose of this public hearing is to consider the first reading of ordinances for the proposed millage rate levy and proposed budget for fiscal year 2010-2011. B. Mayor announces that the proposed millage rate levy represents 10.51% less than the roll back rate computed pursuant to F.S. 200.065 (1). The highlights noted in this preliminary EAR by Mr. Brisson were that Planning Staff broke the amendments down into three areas. The first area deals with "Issues of Major Concern," Issue 1. The need to provide for a transition from residential use to commercial use in certain areas of the City. Adding Policy 2.1(g) Transitional Commercial Overlay. Issue 2. The need to eliminate inconsistencies between the official zoning map and future land use map. Issue 3. The need to re-examine the Taylor Creek area and related plan policies in order to allow development that would not degrade its water supply. Issue 4. The need to establish compatible and consistent urban design standards for the City's downtown area. Issue 5. The need to emphasize pedestrian connectivity and establish streetscape standards within the City. The second area amendments are based on changes to State Law, these include changes to the Future Lane Use; Traffic Circulation; and Conservation Elements. The third and final area is noted as "other changes." The horizon year of the current comprehensive plan will be extended to 2020 for the EAR -based amendments. During the last round of Plan Amendments, only objectives and policies related to school concurrency and Taylor Creek were revised. There remain a number of objectives and policies in the current plan that need to be revised to reflect their current status of progress. These target dates will be specifically modified as appropriate during the EAR -based amendments. The Council discussed the dates listed as deadlines within some of the goals. Mr. Brisson responded that the dates can change should the City not be comfortable with them as an attainable date. Council agreed that ALL dates should read, "... shall by 2020 ...". Mr. Brisson was instructed to change the proposed language in Policy 8.6 to reflect that sidewalks will be constructed on all City streets that are warranted or when funds are available. Other than the above changes noted, the Council agreed that the preliminary report was acceptable to forward to DCA. No official action was necessary at this time.

The Plan was evaluated through the collaboration of City staff, state agencies, other units of government, and the general public. Local issues were identified during the evaluation process, some of which are new and some of which already are being addressed under existing policies and programs. The original Plan was adopted in 1991 with subsequent Amendments in September 2000, February 2007, August 2008, and March 2009. Implementation of the Plan has been generally successful although some programs and policies have not been implemented. On -going implementation of the Plan is proceeding and most of the programs will eventually be implemented. The EAR process will result in an improved Plan to guide the City's growth through 2021. The entire Plan will be updated with the best available data and analysis and will be edited to ensure accuracy and consistency. Goals, Objectives, and Policies will be updated to reflect new information but major policy revisions are not expected except as otherwise noted in this report. Some policies and programs will be revised with more achievable implementation time frames. When completed, the EAR -based Comprehensive Plan will accommodate growth while maintaining the quality of life in the City. The EAR identifies five major issues that the City will address. Each issue and proposed actions are briefly summarized below. Major Issue 1: Need to provide for a transition from residential use to commercial use in certain areas of the City. Major Issue 2: The need to eliminate inconsistencies between the Official Zoning Map and the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). Major Issue 3: The need to re-examine the Taylor Creek area and related Plan Policies in order to allow development that will not degrade water quality in the Creek. Major Issue 4: The need to establish compatible and consistent urban design. Major Issue 5: The need to emphasize pedestrian connectivity and establish streetscape standards within the City. Purpose of the EAR The City of Okeechobee's Comprehensive Plan is designed to provide certainty in the development of the City. Responses to change come through amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, by revisions made to methods of implementation, and through periodic evaluation of the Plan. An EAR serves as an audit of progress and problems in achieving the development Goals of the City. The EAR is the first step in updating the Comprehensive Plan. Using requirements set forth in Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes, the EAR must accomplish the following Goals: Draft: August 30, 2010 1_1 Community -wide Assessment 1. Identify major issues for the City; 2. Review past actions of the City in implementing the Plan; 3. Assess the degree to which Plan Objectives have been achieved; 4. Assess both successes and shortcomings of the Plan; 5. Identify ways that the Plan should be changed; and 6. Respond to changing conditions and trends affecting the City. 7. Respond to the need for new data. 8. Respond to changes in State requirements regarding growth management and development. 9. Respond to changes in regional plans. 10. Ensure effective intergovernmental coordination. Preparing the EAR The EAR process is divided into two primary components: (1) an assessment of the implementation since the Plan was last updated, and (2) identification and assessment of locally important issues. By conducting public workshops, the City has identified five locally important issues. The current Comprehensive Plan of Okeechobee includes a wide variety of policies used to regulate and guide development throughout the City. The EAR provides an analysis of all Plan related data to determine if the City is achieving its Goals and Objectives set forth in the Plan. As a requirement of §163.3191, F. S., the EAR contains information addressing the following: 1. Population growth and changes in land area [163.3191(2)(a)]. 2. The location of existing development in relation to the location of development as anticipated in the plan [163.3191(2)(d)]. 3. The extent of vacant and developable land [163.3191(2)(b)] . 4. The financial feasibility of providing needed infrastructure to achieve and maintain adopted level of service standards and sustain concurrency through capital improvements, as well as the ability to address infrastructure backlogs and meet the demands of growth on public services and facilities [163.3191(2)(c)]. 5. A brief assessment of success and shortcomings related to each element [163.3191(2)(h)]. 6. Relevant changes in growth management laws (the state comprehensive plan, the appropriate strategic regional policy plan, Chapter 163, Part ll, F.S., and Rule 9J-5, F.A.C.) [163.3191(2)(f)]. 7. A summary of public participation activities in preparing the report [163.3191(2)(j)]. 8. An assessment of whether plan Objectives within each element, as they relate to major issues, have been achieved, and whether unforeseen and unanticipated changes in circumstances have resulted in problems and opportunities with respect to major issues in each element [163.3191(2)(g)]. 9. An assessment of corrective measures, including whether plan amendments are anticipated to address the major issues identified and analyzed in the report. Such identification shall include, as appropriate, new population projections and new Draft: August 30, 2010 1-2 Community -wide Assessment revised planning time -frames, a revised future conditions map or map series, and updated Capital Improvements Element, and any new and revised Goals, Objectives and Policies for major issues identified within each element [163.3191(2)(r)]. 10. An assessment of the success or failure of coordinating future land uses and residential development with the capacity of existing and planned schools; establishing with the school board appropriate population projections; and coordinating the planning and siting of new schools [163.3191(2)(k)]. 11. An evaluation of whether any past reduction in land use density within the coastal high hazard area impairs the property rights of current residents when redevelopment occurs. The local government must identify strategies to address redevelopment and the rights of affected residents balanced against public safety considerations [163.3191(2)(m)]. 12. The extent to which the local government has been successful in identifying alternative water supply projects and traditional water supply projects, including conservation and reuse, necessary to meet water needs within the local government's jurisdiction [163.3191(2)(1)]. 13. An assessment of whether the local government was successful in achieving compatibility with military installations [163.3191(2)(n)] . 14. The extent to which a concurrency exception area, a concurrency management area, or a multimodal transportation district has achieved the purpose for which it was created [163.3191(2)(o)]. 15. An assessment of the extent to which changes are needed to develop a common methodology for measuring impacts on Draft: August 30, 2010 transportation facilities for the purpose of implementing its concurrency management system in coordination with the municipalities and counties [163.3191(2)(p)]. The final report will be sent to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) in August 2010. Within 60 days after receipt, DCA will review the report and make a preliminary sufficiency determination that is forwarded to the City for its consideration. DCA will issue a final sufficiency determination within 90 days after receipt of the adopted EAR.

Intent of the EAR Report All amendments outlined within this report represent recommendations to be considered for adoption by the City Council after required public hearings. Organization of the EAR Report The proposed EAR addressing the City's Comprehensive Plan is divided into three (3) Sections. Section 1— Community -wide Assessment Section 2 — Issues of Major Concern Section 3 — Recommendations Draft: August 30, 2010 1-4 Commun ity-wilde Assessment Profile of the City The City of Okeechobee is located in the southern portion of Okeechobee County, approximately 1.5 miles north of Lake Okeechobee SEE FIGURE 1.1, GENERAL LOCATION MAP. It is the County% s only incorporated City and serves as the shopping and employment center for the area. US 441, and SR 70 are the two major arteries serving the City. SR 70 links the City with Fort Pierce 30 miles to the east, and Arcadia and Sarasota/Bradenton further west. US 98 connects the City with Sebring, approximately 50 miles to the northwest. US 441 approaches the City from the Orlando area, joins with US 98 and continues south toward West Palm Beach. Although the City's population is currently less than 6,000, the City experiences a level of intensity in its urban activities that is normally associated with larger cities. This bustling atmosphere is in sharp contrast to the large expanses of rural cattle -grazing land just outside the City in unincorporated Okeechobee County. Figure 1.1: General Location Map Draft: August 30, 2010 1-5 Population Analysis This section of the Report provides updated population estimates and projections, pursuant to Florida Statutes §163.3191(2)(a). The City of Okeechobee uses estimates of its population provided by the Bureau of Economic and Business Research of the University of Florida (BEER). In 2009, BEBR estimated Okeechobee's resident population to be 5,377. Table 1.2 shows resident population forecasts for the ten-year planning horizon beginning in 2011. Resident population in the City will increase gradually each year as new residential units are constructed and occupied. From 2011 to 2021, growth is expected to increase at a rate of about 0.3% annually. BEBR does not provide estimates for the seasonal population. Because Okeechobee is a center for freshwater fishing and other outdoor related activities, the population in the City is estimated to swell by as much as 40% during the "season". Table 1.2: Peak Population Forecast Resident Seasonal Peak 5,409 2,164 7,573 5,490 2,196 7,686 5,572 2,229 7,801 Since early 2007, eight residential projects have been approved for development. Development of all but the two assisted living facility projects have been postponed or cancelled; and, in a number of cases the projects have been subject to bankruptcy, foreclosure or other financial difficulties as a result of the current economic situation. Consequently, no growth as a result of these approvals is forecast in excess of that associated with the population projections provided in Table 1.2. Community -wide Assessment Should these projects be built and occupied within the next 10 years, as originally planned, using the 2.70 average household size for residential units recorded in the 2000 Census and one person per unit for ACLFs, these approved developments could be expected to increase the City's resident population by 1,155 persons by the year 2021. Draft: August 30, 2010 1-6 Community -wide Assessment Land Use Analysis This section of the Report evaluates changes in land area and land use, pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 163.3191(2)(a). In addition, the chapter evaluates the location of existing development in relation to the location of development anticipated by the Plan, pursuant to Florida Statutes, §163.3191(2)(d). Changes in Land Area and Land Use The City of Okeechobee is comprised of approximately 4.2 square miles. Since the adoption of the last EAR, the City has not annexed any lands which would have altered the size of the City. The City also encompasses 0.2 square miles of water area. The City is separated by many miles from other urban areas. This relative isolation created a land use pattern that provides the full range of employment and commercial services needed by its residents and those of the surrounding unincorporated areas. Existing land use represents how lands in the City of Okeechobee are presently used. The location, type and distribution of land use patterns and activities are shown in Table 1.3. Table 1.3: Existing Land Use, 2009 Location of Existing Development in Relation to Development Anticipated in the Original Plan Development in Okeechobee since adoption of the Plan has been somewhat different from the land uses established in the Future Land Use Element. This is, in part, due to certain conflicts between Zoning and the Future Land Use Map which are identified under Major Issue #2. This is also a result of the need for flexibility in the location of commercial uses and suggests a need to provide for a transition from residential use to commercial use in areas at the interface of existing commercial areas bordering major roadways. Since 2000, the City has had 84 map amendments. Table 1.4 provides a complete listing of those amendments. Based on Table 1.4, properties with the Future Land Use classification of Single Family decreased by 130 acres. Properties with the Future Land Use classification of Multi -Family increased by 66 acres. Properties in the Commercial, Industrial and Public Facilities Future Land Use categories increased by 47, 2, and 2 acres, respectively. In 2006, the City added a new Future Land Use category to accommodate mixed -uses. This category is intended to accommodate and provide flexibility for development of multiple uses within a residential setting. Extent of Vacant and Undeveloped Land Today, approximately 29% (783 acres) of the City is vacant including agricultural lands, the use of which is considered an interim use until demand for urban use matures. The projected population of the City during the peak season is 7,801 residents in the year 2021. At current inventory levels, the developable vacant land is sufficient to support the probable future population of the City. Figure 1-1 depicts existing land use by the various categories.

These standards are used to review the impacts of existing and proposed development on public facilities. The City has implemented a Concurrency Management System, and any new. development is required to make or provide the necessary improvements to maintain or exceed the LOS standards. This section of the Report, consistent with §163.3191(2)(c), assesses the financial feasibility of providing the needed infrastructure to achieve and maintain adopted LOS standards and sustain concurrency through capital improvements, as well as the ability to address infrastructure backlogs and meet the demands of growth on public services and facilities. Sanitary Sewer & Potable Water The Okeechobee Utility Authority (OUA) is the entity responsible for providing water and sewer to the residents of the City of Okeechobee and to some unincorporated areas of Okeechobee and Glades Counties. While the majority of the City is provided water and sewer services, there are still small areas which are not served because there are no lines connecting to these properties. It is estimated that lines are available to serve about 95% of the City with potable water, but OUA estimates that is provides potable water to only about 78% of the City's resident population. The permitted capacity for the surface water treat- ment plant is 5.0 mgd with the groundwater treat- ment plant rated at 1.0 mgd for a total of 6.0 mgd. The wastewater treatment plant has a total capacity of 3.0 mgd. Table 1.5 shows an analysis of both plants. As stated earlier, there are some areas in the City of Okeechobee that are still being served by wells or septic tanks. Community -wide Assessment Table 1.5: WTP and WWTP Capacities Water Wastewater Treatment Plant Treatment Plant 6.00 mgd 3.00 mgd 1.93 mgd 0.89 mgd 0.25 mgd 0.10 mgd 3.82 mdg 2.01 mgd OUA is currently meeting present and future water demands by utilizing both groundwater and surface water. The adopted LOS of service for water and sewer are 114 gallons per capita per day and 130 gallons per capita per day, respectively. The data in Table 1.6 should be considered as proof that capacity currently exists at both the WWTP and the WTP. It is estimated that the City of Okeechobee comprises approximately 32% of all users of water and sewer services. Below is a table which depicts that even when all residents of City are connected to OUA for water and sewer during the period of peak population, there is sufficient capacity to continue serving the City well into the long-range planning horizon. Table 1.6: Projected Water and Sewer Demand — City of Okeechobee Peak Water genera- Sewer genera - Population tion rate based don rate based on adopted on adopted LOS LOS 7,573 0.86 MGD 0.98 MGD 7,686 0.88 MGD 1.00 MGD 7.801 0.89 MGD 1.01 MGD Adequacy of Water Supply Based on the County's Water Supply Plan, one can expect total demand in the year 2020 to approx- imate 3.86 mgd. Okeechobee Utilities' current Con- sumptive Use Permit (CUP) is for 3.00 mgd. The Util- Draft: August 30, 2010 1-11 ity is in negotiation to increase the CUP. The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has indicated a willingness to issue a preliminary in- crease in the CUP to 4.00 mgd until such time OUA and the District can reach agreement as to a final CUP to be coupled with alternative sources of wa- ter, water conservation, and reuse projects. Appar- ently, there is adequate supply of water to accom- modate the increase in the CUP to 4.0 mgd and this supply is sufficient to serve the entire system until 2020 just shy of the City's planning horizon of 2021. Solid Waste Solid waste collection and disposal is provided by Waste Management, Inc. The adopted LOS for the City of Okeechobee is 13 Ibs/capita/day. The City of Okeechobee generates approximately 45% of the County's solid waste stream, while the City only has 15% of the population. Such a discrepancy can only be explained by the presence of businesses or industries in the City, as well as significant numbers of people living in urban or suburban lifestyle, as contrasted with the rural/agricultural nature of outlying areas. It is also reasonable to assume that some solid waste in unincorporated areas may have been disposed of outside of the County's organized collection system through burning, burial, or even improper dumping. The Okeechobee County landfill serves the entire County and has a remaining capacity of 110 million tons with a life expectancy of 50 years. There is adequate landfill capacity to serve the City's needs well beyond the year 2021. Table 1.7 shows a projection per capita of solid waste generation for the City based on the long range population projections. Table 1.7: Solid Waste Generation Table, 2011-2021 Year Peak Population Pounds (per day) 2011 7,573 98,449 2016 7,686 99,918 2021 7,801 101,413 Community -Wide Assessment In order to maintain the adopted LOS standard the City attempts to reduce solid waste generation by encouraging recycling programs. By encouraging the cooperation of its residents and by coordinating with the County, the City is expected to continue meeting its adopted level of service throughout the long-range planning timeframe. Drainage The adopted Level of Service for Okeechobee is for a 25 year — 24 hour storm event. Drainage on City roads is accommodated by swales and ditches and FDOT storm drainage facilities. The City of Okeechobee is in the Lake Okeechobee integrated drainage basin and is drained by Taylor Creek to the east and Papash Slough and Lemkin Creek to the south. At this time, no drainage facility improvements are needed. There are policies in the Comprehensive Plan which outline the process to restore natural areas. In addition, Policy 7.1 of the Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element requires the City to undertake a stormwater management study to identify water quality and drainage facilities. In adopting this policy, the City acknowledged that insufficient information existed to address this issue adequately, and that future expenditures were needed, both to fund the study and the needed improvements which it identified. In accordance with this policy, the City should budget available funds of its own for the study and seek the assistance of the South Florida Water Management District. Traffic Circulation The City of Okeechobee continues to be a small urban area. Most of the traffic issues relate to state and federal roads bisecting the City. The roadway functional classification is discussed below: Draft: August 30, 2010 1-12 a • US 441 is a 4-lane arterial road entering Okeechobee County from the north. In the southern part of the County, it is a main route for carrying traffic to western Palm Beach County. • US 98 is a 4-lane arterial road which enters Okeechobee County from the west across the Kissimmee River and proceeds toward West Palm Beach. The southern portion of US 98 combined with US 441 provides a connecting link between the City and western Palm Beach County. • SR 710, just outside the City to the east, is a 4-lane arterial road which connects the City with Indiantown and West Palm Beach. • SR 78 is a 2-lane arterial road which provides a connecting link with US 27 in Glades County. It is an east -west arterial located a short distance south of the City and extends southwesterly around the west side of Lake Okeechobee. • SR 70 is a 4-lane arterial highway extending from Bradenton through Okeechobee to Fort Pierce. It intersects with US 98 in the center of the City and provides a connecting link with Sebring to the north. The functional classification for roadways within the City has remained the same for the past 20+ years. The City does not take traffic counts on any roads Table 1-8: 2008 Annual Average Daily Traffic Report Description within its boundaries. Instead, counts are taken by FDOT and conveyed to the County. There are four traffic count stations within the City. The counts at stations within the City and immediately upon entering the City's limits are shown in Table 1-8. Information on traffic volumes is provided by FDOT and is limited to state roads. Like most rural cities, Okeechobee also lacks an ongoing program for measuring traffic on the City's collector roadways. The City's Concurrency Management System (CMS) identifies any LOS problems and corresponding needs for capital investment in road improvements. Improvements are made every year on City's roadway system to keep them safe and in good working order. These improvements are shown on the City's Five Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. Recently, these projects have included: 1. Street sweeping and mowing of right-of- ways; 2. Roadway street lighting; 3. Road repairs and materials; and 4. Paving, sidewalks, and traffic signals. In addition, the City of Okeechobee will adopt by reference the FDOT Five Year Work Program 2009- 2014.

These facilities were owned by the City (2), the County (13), the School Board (9), the State (3), and private entities (3). Of the 30 facilities, those described below are located within the City limits. Table 1-9: Existing Recreational Sites and Facilities Category Type Facilities Acres Available Resource -based Boat launch 2 (special park) Activity -based Benches, �4 helahbbrhood bandstand park) tables Activity -based 1 Ball field 4.7 (special park) 2 Tennis Courts 1 Skateboard Park Activity -based Basketball 1.2 court Play equipment Activity -based 2 Ball 8.6 fields/Soccer fields Lake House Park, play- 3.0 PUD and ground and Southern Trace open space residential available to projects (as yet the public undeveloped)" There are a total of almost 25 acres of recreational lands in the City. Of these, two parks encompassing 7.4 acres are owned by the City. Another 17.5 acres of lands affording recreational opportunities within the City, now or in the future, are associated with public schools, County parks and private develop- ments with lands dedicated to recreational areas as conditions of site plan approval. Acreages associated with the Central Elementary School and Community -wide Assessment Freshman Campus in the table above reflect only those land areas devoted to recreational types of uses. In addition to recreational facilities and public open space within the City, residents have access to all County and State maintained recreational facilities within Okeechobee County. The adopted level of service standard for parks is 3 acres per 1,000 persons. Below is an assessment of the demand for parks based on the adopted LOS and the projected population. Table 1-10: Projected Recreational Needs, 2011-2021 Year Peak Population Acres 0-011 7,573 22.7 ,2016 7,686 23.0 7,801 23.4 The City of Okeechobee has participated with the County in a joint planning approach to provide recreational facilities with equal access for all residents of the County through a combined recreational program. By developing and adopting joint level of service standards, recreational needs of both the incorporated and unincorporated population have been and will continue to be well served. Provision of recreational facilities for future population will continue through Interlocal agreements. School Coordination The City of Okeechobee has two public schools within its boundaries. These are Central Elementary School and the Okeechobee Freshman Campus. Ac- cording the City's adopted Public Schools Facilities Elements, enrollment at Central Elementary was at 717 in SY 2006/07 with a capacity of 768 students. The utilization rate (enrollment to capacity) is at 93%. The Okeechobee Freshman Campus currently operates at a utilization rate of 143% with approx- imately 500 students enrolled, but a capacity of 349 students. In addition, heating capacity, artificial Draft: August 30, 2010 1-14 lighting and drainage in parking areas are inade- quate and this building has no re -locatable units. This campus is expected to continue to grow and may require a small addition to handle the increase in student enrollment. As with all schools which are exceed the LOS, enrollment relief is planned through boundary changes, program shifts, or per- manent classroom additions. Financial Feasibility of Providing Ade- quate Facilities and Services The City is currently meeting its adopted level of service for all its public facilities and has the ability to provide the needed infrastructure and maintain adopted level of service standards. The Compre- hensive Plan and the Unified Land Development Code both require that adequate public facilities be in place and concurrent with the impacts of devel- opment. Assessment of Successes and Shortcomings of the Elements Pursuant to §163.3191(2)(h), F.S., this section of this Report makes a brief assessment of the suc- cesses and shortcomings related to each element of the Comprehensive Plan. Future Land Use Element The Future Land Use Element has been, by and large, successful in guiding growth patterns throughout the City. The goal of the Future Land Use Element is to "maintain a high quality living environment, preserve its distinctive natural and historic resources, and provide public services to its residents." The 12 objectives included in the Element center on: • Guiding the location of future development by the availability and efficient use of public facilities; Community -wide Assessment • Ensuring that all new development is consistent with the Future Land Use Element; • Eliminating or reducing land uses which are inconsistent with the Future Land Use Element; • Ensuring the availability of suitable land for public facilities; • Establishing a threshold acreage and identifying suitable locations for new schools; • Protecting natural and historic resources; • Encouraging redevelopment and renewal of blighted areas; • Ensuring that land use activities along Taylor Creek are consistent with the Resource Management Plan for the Lower Kissimmee River and Taylor Creek Drainage Basin; • Promoting innovative land development techniques; • Integrating the objectives of the Local Mitigation Strategy into the Plan; and • Revising the land development code to encourage redevelopment, infill development, compatibility, and curtailment of inconsistent uses. The shortcomings of the Future Land Use Element were mentioned earlier in the Report and deal with the need to provide for a transition from residential use to commercial use for areas at the interface of existing commercial areas bordering major roadways and eliminating inconsistencies between the Future Land Use Map and the City's Zoning Map. Draft: August 30, 2010 f A Traffic Circulation Element The Traffic Circulation Element has not been significantly changed since the City's last EAR -based Amendments adopted in 2000. The goal of the Traffic Circulation Element is to "develop a traffic circulation system which safely and efficiently meets existing and future transportation needs, promotes accepted design standards, and achieves desired levels of service." The nine objectives included in the Element focus on: • Utilization of the five-year CIP to identify improvements to roadway deficiencies; • Protecting existing and future right-of-way from building encroachment; • Supporting FDOT's 5-Year Work Program on roadways which are in the City's jurisdiction, in addition to coordination of planning and programming improvements with FDOT and Okeechobee County; • Coordinating with the State, regional and local jurisdictions to promote a proper mix of funding for roadway improvements; • Implementing a program for providing roadways needs that integrates acceptable design standards; • Establishing level of service standards that are acceptable for existing and future conditions; • Coordinating development with the provision of providing adequate motorized and non -motorized transportation facilities; and • Curtailing future level of service standard deterioration along US Highway 441 and SR 70. The system of local, county and state roadways in and around the City of Okeechobee has generally served the City well, circulating vehicular traffic within and through the City. Maintenance of local roads is completed on an as -needed basis and all such roadways are operating within the adopted level of service. SR 70 and US 441 are both constrained roadways for which the State bears operational responsibility. The availability of traffic count data is limited to that collected by FDOT. Therefore, in order to ensure that the traffic impacts of development do not unduly affect the adopted level of service standards, the City requires significant new development to provide traffic impact analyses. This requirement has worked well and will be continued for the foreseeable future. Housing Element The goal of the Housing Element is to "plan for the provision of decent, safe and sanitary housing of appropriate size, type, location and cost, and with adequate supporting public facilities to meet the current and future needs of all residents of the City." The eight objectives included in the Element focus on assisting the private sector and other public agencies in providing adequate and affordable housing, reduction and/or elimination of substandard housing, conserving standard condition housing, enforcing regulations to ensure adequate sites for low- and moderate -income families, ensuring adequate sites for group homes and foster care facilities, and establishing an advisory committee to evaluate the City's efforts in providing affordable housing. The Housing Element is based on the premise that initial programs promoting housing diversity, building code permitting/enforcement would be implemented by the land development regulations. The Unified Land Development Code has proven valuable in guiding the private sector in development and construction of housing. In 1998, the City had a deficit of affordable housing for very low- and low-income households. It is encouraging that recent private sector developments have included more affordable housing. However, in Draft: August 30, 2010 1-16 accordance with Chapter 163 and Rule 91-5, the Plan needs to include provisions for very low- income households. Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water and Natural Groundwa- ter Aquifer Recharge (Infrastructure) Element This Element was formulated to guide the City in creating a strong blueprint for providing the necessary improvements to public facilities. The goal of the Element is to "conserve and protect its water sources and provide, or require others to provide, needed public facilities in a manner which protects investments in existing facilities and promotes orderly growth." The objectives of this element are as follows: • Ensuring that needed facilities are available or will be available concurrent with development; • Maintaining a 5-year CIP for public facilities; • Ensuring that existing facilities are used in an efficient manner the nor promote urban sprawl; • Coordination with OUA and Okeechobee County in extending water and sewer services into unincorporated areas; • Providing efficient collection, disposal, and reduction of solid waste; • Protecting natural drainage features; • Obtaining data needed for correction of existing deficiencies in man-made drainage facilities; • Maintaining the City's existing water consumption rate of 1.82 MGD; and Community -wide Assessment • Protecting water quality and preserving the function of recharge areas and natural drainage features. Recent changes to Florida Statutes required the City to amend this Element through adoption of a 10- Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan which will require adequate water supplies prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy; and provision of water quality standards for stormwater recharge. The State has reviewed the City's Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and has issued its Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report. The City is preparing its response to the ORC. Conservation Element The Conservation Element has proven to be a strong guide in establishing long-term development restrictions to promote resource conservation. The goal of the Conservation Element is to "conserve, protect, and appropriately manage the natural resources to promote the highest environmental quality possible." The Element has enabled the City to enhance its natural resources and provide protection for fish and wildlife habitats. The six objectives included in the Element concentrate on preserving air quality, conservation and protection of water quality, preservation and protection of environmentally sensitive areas, wildlife and wildlife habitats, managing hazardous wastes, and improving the water quality of Taylor Creek. The Element will be revised soon to reflect adoption of the water supply plan. Recreation and Open Space Element The goal of the Recreation and Open Space Element is to "provide a system of public recreation lands and facilities to serve all residents and visitors of the City while making the most efficient possible use of public resources." The six objectives supporting this goal focus on protecting lands designated for Draft: August 30, 2010 1_17 recreational uses, coordination with County and state agencies to enhance recreational opportunities, providing a variety of recreational opportunities, and coordination with the School Board to ensure efficient and joint use of existing and future open space and recreational facilities. The City of Okeechobee has participated with the County in a joint planning approach to provide recreational facilities with equal access to all residents of the County through a combined recreational program. By developing and adopting joint level of service standards, recreational needs of both the incorporated and unincorporated population has been and will continue to be achieved. Provision of recreational facilities for future population will continue through Interlocal agreements. Intergovernmental Coordination Element All existing intergovernmental coordination mechanisms are effective. The Element has been updated and strengthened as cooperation has been important for such issues as water supply planning and school facility coordination. The goal of the Element is to "achieve greater governmental efficiency and resolve conflicts by coordinating development with activities between the City and the County, and relevant regional, state, and federal entities." The objectives which support this goal addresses the following: • Coordination and consistency of the Comprehensive Plan with adjacent municipalities; • Maintaining mechanisms to address development issues which affect adjacent municipalities; • Coordination with FDOT and OUA; • Coordination and consistency of the Comprehensive Plan with the Resource Draft: August 30, 2010 Management Plan for the Lower Kissimmee River and Taylor Creek Drainage Basins; • Cooperation with the School Board in ensuring the activities of the School Board are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; • Coordinating planning efforts joint extra- territorial services, changes to service or corporate limits, any joint committees for review of locally unwanted land uses; • Coordinating the Comprehensive Plan with the School Board 5-Year Facilities Plan The Element will be updated to include cooperation for water supply planning issues. Public School Facilities Element The goal of the Public School Facilities Element is "to provide a public school system that offers a high quality educational environment, provides accessi- bility for all of its students, and ensures adequate school capacity to accommodate enrollment de- mand within a financially feasible School District Capital Plan." The four objectives in this element focus on: • Providing adequate school facilities by adopting a concurrency management sys- tem to achieve and maintain the adopted LOS; • Performing a school concurrency evaluation to review projected residential develop- ment in order to accommodate new stu- dents at the adopted LOS for adequate school capacity; • Coordinating all new public schools which are to be built after 2008 to be consistent with the City's Future Land Use Map designation and be collocated with other appropriate public facilities when possible; and 1-18 Community -wide Assessment City, the City's industrial park borders the eastern • Annually update the 5-Year Schedule of bank of the Creek. However, there are no working Capital Improvements to include school waterfronts on Taylor Creek and recreational use is capacity projects. largely limited to private docks on bordering private residential property. Capital Improvements Element The goal of the Capital Improvements Element is to "ensure that public facilities and services are provided, on a fair -share cost basis, in a manner which maximizes the use of existing facilities and promotes orderly growth." This element has successfully outlined infrastructure improvements needed to guide the City in its attempts to provide needed public improvements. The Element has been updated consistent with new state legislation concerning viable Capital Improvement Schedules and assuring that future changes to the Comprehensive Plan will be financially feasible. Compliance with Growth Management Laws Section 163.3191(2)(f), Florida Statutes, requires the EAR to evaluate relevant changes in growth management laws since the adoption of the original plan for consistency with the State Comprehensive Plan. The summary of this evaluation is set forth below. Preserving Public Access to Florida's Waterways House Bill 955 (Chapter 2005-157) addresses the preservation of public access to Florida's waterways. It is particularly directed at preserving recreational and working waterfronts. The only significant waterbody within the municipal limits is Taylor Creek which drains into Lake Okeechobee. Taylor Creek is bordered largely by private, residentially zoned lands. A small area of the Creek in the general vicinity of SR 70 is bordered by commercial lands. At the northern extremity of the School Concurrency Planning The Okeechobee County School District has only two schools in the City: Central Elementary and Okeechobee Freshman Campus. The City has previously adopted its Public School Facilities Element. Coastal High Hazard Areas While the City is close to Lake Okeechobee and, before the construction of the Herbert Hoover Dike, experienced damage from storm surges due to hurricanes, no portion of the City is within the Coastal High Hazard Area. Coordination of Land Use and Water Supply Planning The Okeechobee Utility Authority supplies water to residents within the City. By State law, all local governments within the South Florida Water Management District must prepare and adopt a 10- Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan into their Comprehensive Plan's Potable Water Element. The City is currently coordinating with the OUA to complete its 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and ensure its consistency with the requirements of the South Florida Water Management District and the State of Florida. State Comprehensive Plan The State Comprehensive Plan has changed since the City adopted its Comprehensive Plan in 1989. The Plan, all amendments since its original adoption, and all amendments recommended herein are consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan. Draft: August 30, 2010 1-19 Chapter 163, Florida Statutes A table detailing the manner in which the City is addressing the changes to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, is attached in Appendix A. The changes are summarized by year with appropriate citations. Each change is classified by relevance to the City's Comprehensive Plan. If no change is applicable, then no change is required. If the change is relevant, the Plan was reviewed and analysis about whether the change was addressed or not is included. In those instances in which an amendment is needed, the elements which need to be amended are identified in the last column. Based on this table, the City is addressing all applicable requirements of Chapter 163 in its Comprehensive Plan and recommended Plan Amendments. Rule 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code Rule 9J-5 of the Florida Administrative Code establishes the minimum criteria for the preparation, review and determination of compliance of the Comprehensive Plan and Plan amendments pursuant to the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, Chapter 163, F.S. A table detailing the manner in which the City is addressing the changes to Rule 9J-5, F.A.C., is attached as Appendix B. Based on this table, the City is addressing all applicable requirements of Rule 9J-5 in its Comprehensive Plan and recommended Plan Amendments. Strategic Regional Policy Plan for Southwest Florida The Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council's Strategic Regional Policy Plan ("SRPP") was last revised in 2002, long after the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. Since that time, the demographics sections of the SRPP have been continually updated though a complete update of the entire SRPP has not been scheduled. In 2000, the City's Comprehensive Plan was consistent with the SRPP. Prior to adoption of the Comprehensive Community -wide Assessment Plan Amendment, the City will review all changes to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan is consistent with the SRPP. Other State -Mandated Requirements While there are no military sites in the City, the City will amend the Plan to include the provisions set forth in the Florida Statutes if a military installation is proposed in the City. Draft: August 30, 2010 1-20 Community-wilde Assessment Public Participation Summary The City formally began the evaluation of its Plan in June 2009, with staff discussions that covered the EAR process, timelines, and methodologies. At these meetings the purpose of the EAR and its implications for the community were outlined. Concerns and information were also gathered from the public that attended. An Interagency Scoping meeting was held on January 21, 2010 to help identify issues, to discuss various agencies' concerns, and to ascertain the information and resources agencies could provide the City to assist in evaluating and updating the Plan. All neighboring local governments and appropriate county, state, and regional agencies were invited to attend the scoping meeting. DCA agreed to the major issues and responded with a letter of agreement on February 4, 2010. On May 20, 2010 the Planning and Zoning Board held a public workshop to review the draft EAR and on June 17, 2010, held a public hearing on same. The City of Okeechobee Planning and Zoning Board acting as the Local Planning Agency held a public hearing, on August 19, 2010, reviewed the draft EAR and forwarded their recommendation of approval and the draft EAR to the City Council. The City Council held a Workshop on September 14, 2010 and authorized the draft EAR be forwarded to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for their comments prior to adoption by the City Council. The Department of Community Affairs sent their review comments on the draft EAR on and the City responded and revised the draft to reflect the recommendations made. _, 2010 was the adoption public hearing with the City Council. The hearing was a success, and the 2010 Evaluation and Appraisal Report was adopted by Resolution No. Draft: August 30, 2010 1-21 Major Issues Identification of Major Issues This Section of the EAR will assess the potential social, economic and environmental impacts of the identified major issues pursuant to Florida Statutes, §163.3191(2)(e). Pursuant to §163.3191(2)(g), F.S., this section will also provide an assessment of whether Plan objectives and policies within each Element, as they relate to the major issues, have been achieved, and whether unforeseen and unanticipated changes in circumstances have resulted in problems and opportunities with respect to major issues. Assessment of Major Issues and Plan Objectives The City's EAR identifies five major issues that the City will address in the EAR -based Plan Amendments. Each issue and proposed actions are briefly summarized below. Major Issue 1: Need to provide for a transition from residential use to commercial use for certain areas of the City. Major Issue 2: The need to eliminate inconsistencies between the Official Zoning Map and the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). Major Issue 3: The need to re-examine the Taylor Creek area and related Plan Policies in order to allow development that would not degrade its water quality. Major Issue 4: The need to establish compatible and consistent urban design. Major Issue 5: The need to emphasize pedestrian connectivity and establish streetscape standards within the City. Draft: August 30, 2010 II-1 Evaluation of Issues of Major Concerns Major Issue 1: The need to provide for a transition from residential use to commercial use in certain areas of the City. Issue Description and Analysis Distribution of commercial lands For the past few years, there have been an increasing number of requests for Small Scale Development Amendments to extend Commercial Future Land Use designations to encompass properties within two blocks of the major commercial arterials in the City, US 441 and SR 70. The City has recognized the need to provide a transition from heavy commercial along these arterial to light commercial and professional/office commercial uses as development pressures approach an interface with existing residential uses. The City's actions have clearly indicated that such a policy has been evolving. The EAR is the appropriate time to recognize the need for a more formal approach to provide additional and varied commercial opportunities while ensuring compatibility with residential uses within the City. In response to the above, the City is investigating expanding the amount of land designated commercial on the Future Land Use Map within two blocks of the City's major arterials - SR 70 and US 441. The expansion areas are primarily seen as those in the second tier blocks. Map II- 1.1 shows the current distribution of the Commercial future land use category throughout the City. It also shows the boundaries of the proposed commercial corridor, the current Major Issues future land use categories of all lands within the corridor, and the boundaries of specific areas where expansion of commercial use could be expected in the future. There are 18 such areas outlined on the Map II-1.1. The initial concept is to create a new Commercial Transition Overlay future land use category to which these properties would belong. A variety of zoning districts (all the commercial districts, RSF1, RMF, Industrial, and Public) would be considered consistent with this future land use category and development of the lands would be permitted under current zoning. However, properties within these outlined areas will only be allowed to be rezoned to CLT, CPO or RMF. The new Transitional Commercial future land use category would also include provision for mixed use in the form of commercial use and residential use on the same parcel. Map II-1.2 shows the same geographic areas as shown on Map II-1.1, but portrays the current zoning of these properties.

Social, Economic and Environmental Impacts Piecemeal change to the FLUM and Zoning Maps generates uncertainty among residents in areas where there is pressure for transition to commercial use. This inhibits new residential development and investment in residential properties. However uncertainty regarding how applications for land use and zoning changes will be handled also inhibits new commercial development, leaving some residential areas bordering commercial corridors in a state of "limbo", unsure as to which uses will likely be encouraged or allowed in the future. Resolving this quandary in a comprehensive and proactive manner will provide a greater degree of Recommendations The following revisions are recommended to the Future Land Use Element to implement the City's desire to provide for additional flexibility and increased commercial development opportunities in close proximity to US 441 and SR 70, the major east -west and north -south arterials serving the City and surrounding unincorporated areas. Specific text incorporated into the EAR -based amendment, however, may differ from that presented herein. Draft: August 30, 2010 II-6 IVlajor Issues Add a new Policy 2.1 (g) to the Future Land Use Element creating a Transitional Commercial Future Land Use Category (FLUC) to read as follows: Policy 2.1(e) Transitional Commercial Overlay. This category is intended to provide additional and varied commercial opportunities in locations in close proximity to the City's major arterials and adiacent to residential areas Allowable uses include a wide variety of residential commercial, industrial and public and semi- public uses as allowed within the RSF1 RMF CPO, CLT, CHV CBD IND and PUB zoning districts. However, anv rezoning of lands within this Future Land Use Category subsequent to the adoption of this FLUC shall be only to the RMF CLT or CPO zoning districts thereby providing a transition from more intense development along the major arterials to lesser intensitv closer to residential areas. Mixed residential and commercial uses may be allowed on the same parcel. Draft: August 30, 2010 II_7 Major Issue 2: The need to eliminate inconsistencies between the Official Zoning Map and the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). Issue Description and Analysis There are some 111 geographic areas in the City that have been identified as being zoned inconsistently with their designations on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). Most of these areas are made up of multiple parcels and some contain quite a few parcels. The areas where the conflicts have been identified are shown on Maps II-2.1 and II-2.2 and the Future Land Use Category and Zoning classification of each area are shown in Table 2.1. Social, Economic and Environmental Impacts State law requires that the Zoning Map and its attendant regulations be consistent and implement the Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan. At best, inconsistencies perpetuate confusion regarding how properties may be developed. At worst, they result in inadvertent approval and/or development that is inappropriate and thwart the community's achieving its desired pattern of development. Perpetuation of inconsistencies results in piecemeal and/or changes to the FLUM. This is inefficient and expensive to the individual property owner and/or the local government. I\11Vljai �r Issues Identification of Comprehensive Plan Elements Impacted and Assessment of Effects on Specific Objectives Future Land Use Element Objective 2: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to ensure that all new development is consistent with the Future Land Use Element. The persistence of inconsistencies is in contravention to the intent of this objective and limits predictable development. Concentrated effort by the City to address this local issue will more fully implement this Objective. Objective 3: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to work toward the elimination or reduction in size or intensity of existing land uses and zoning designations which are not consistent with the Future Land Use Element. After more than a decade of piecemeal changes, many inconsistencies still remain. The City is taking this opportunity during the EAR process and subsequent EAR - based Amendments to undertake a concerted and coordinated approach to correcting the remaining inconsistencies. This will provide property owners and others interested in living, working and doing business in the City with clear and predictable direction for development within the City. Objective 12: By the year 2002, the Unified Land Development Code shall be revised to specifically encourage redevelopment, infill development, compatibility with adjacent uses, and curtailment of uses inconsistent with the character and land uses of surrounding areas, and shall discourage urban sprawl, as provided in the following policies .... (refers to Policy 12.1 and sub -items a — g. Draft: August 30, 2010 11_8 Recommendations The original FLUM was prepared based on what appears to have been mainly an effort to recognize existing land uses and which has resulted in a less than consistent future land use pattern. This causes uncertainty among property owners as to what one may likely expect as allowable uses on the property. Resolution of conflicts between the Future Land Use Map and the Zoning Map is a serious matter, but not one requiring a change to existing policies, or the addition of new policies. Current policies in the Plan are adequate. During formulation of the EAR -based Amendments, each of the conflicts should be evaluated leading either to a change in the Zoning to be consistent with the Plan or a change in the Future Land Use Map to more appropriately reflect the current City policy for development on the individual property with respect to its surrounding environment. Examples of factors that could be considered in evaluating the appropriate future land use category or zoning to be applied to the individual properties include: 1. The existing use on the property and surrounding properties and the potential impacts upon surrounding uses indicating the property's appropriateness for either residential or nonresidential uses; 2. The appropriateness of the property from the standpoint of accessibility, both vehicular and pedestrian, for future development in either residential or nonresidential use; I ajar Issues 3. The property's proximity to an area that is predominantly zoned for single-family residential uses. 4. The property's proximity to public facilities including major roadways, recreation, or public and semi-public facilities. S. Preserving existing land use pattern Particularly in the case of protecting single-family neighborhoods from the encroachment of more intense uses. & A comparison of the historic demand for multi -family housing and the allocation of lands designated for multi -family use on the FLUM and/or Zoning Map.

Issue Description and Analysis Taylor Creek is the only significant water body within the City. It flows southward through the eastern half of the City to Lake Okeechobee. In the City's 1998 EAR, Taylor Creek was identified as a major contributor of phosphorus into Lake Okeechobee due to agricultural activities within its basin. Urban runoff carrying oil, fertilizers and various chemicals had a substantial effect on the Creek's water quality. Adding to the problem was the proliferation of septic tanks in the City, and a high water table, which impaired the ability of the wastewater treatment plant to dispose of effluent through spray irrigation. Development along Taylor Creek itself has been limited. To improve water quality in the area, the City protected the Creek from development of a type and intensity that would disrupt the Creek's natural functions. Land development regulations were strictly enforced and ensured that new development, regardless of its location, did not degrade water quality in the Creek. In 2006, the City adopted Amendments to its Comprehensive Plan to enhance the protection of water quality in Taylor Creek and Lake Okeechobee. The City allows only low -impact residential development along Taylor Creek. Over the years, however, and especially during the housing boom, the City received requests to develop land along the Creek. These could have had a substantial impact on the Creek and were eventually denied because of the City's strict protection measures. M.aJor Issues Water quality in and around the City has improved significantly. The City is re-examining the policies which regulate development in the area to determine what kind of development, could be allowed along Taylor Creek without degrading its water quality. Recent efforts by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to construct Stormwater Treatment Areas (STAB) have served as a catalyst for considering greater flexibility in allowing development in the area. However, if greater flexibility of development is allowed along the Creek, care must be taken to employ planning tools that - will continue protecting Taylor Creek. Social, Economic and Environmental Impacts In Florida, untreated stormwater runoff contributes to the pollutants entering our rivers, lakes and streams. Untreated stormwater run off carries pet wastes, road residues, pesticides, fertilizers and other pollutants into our waterways. Natural processes that would otherwise retain, cleanse and filter stormwater have been reduced by the impervious surfaces (e.g. rooftops and roads) associated with traditional urban development. Draft: August 30, 2010 11-13 Florida is still growing and soon the demand for water by an increasing population may surpass the available water supply. Reducing stormwater runoff is one good way to help stretch the water supply. Water conservation, whether 'in the shower or on the lawn, must become an integral part of each individual's lifestyle and that of the community as a whole. To preserve the City's quality of life, we must consider ways to implement new ideas and different ways of developing. Identification of Comprehensive Plan Elements Impacted and Assessment of Effects on Specific Objectives Only three Elements of the Comprehensive Plan are impacted by this major issue: the Future Land Use, Infrastructure and Conservation Elements. Specific objectives and the impacts on these objectives are discussed below. Future Land Use Element Objective 7: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to protect significant natural and historic resources. Major Issues This objective is impacted because it requires the City to protect natural resources. There are several policies related to this objective which regulate development along Taylor Creek. Objective 9: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to ensure that proposed land use activities in the Taylor Creek area are not inconsistent with the Resource Management Plan for the Lower Kissimmee River and Taylor Creek Drainage Basis, prepared pursuant to Chapter 380, Florida Statutes. This objective is impacted because it sets regulatory procedures for eliminating inconsistent land uses along Taylor Creek. Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Element Objective 6: The City shall continue to include, as part of its land development revision, stormwater drainage regulations providing for the protection of natural drainage features and provisions for ensuring that all future development utilizes appropriate stormwater techniques. This objective is impacted because it requires the City to adopt and enforce a stormwater management plan which provides protection measures for the Taylor Creek Drainage Basin area. Conservation Element Objective 2: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to implement programs and policies to conserve the supply and maintain the quality of current and projected potable water sources, as well as protect the quality of surface water. This objective is impacted because it requires the City to conserve and protect water sources and surface water quality. Draft: August 30, 2010 11-14 Objective 5: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to manage hazardous wastes, establish criteria for identification of environmentally sensitive areas, and regulate land uses so as to preserve natural resources. This objective is impacted because specific policies within it ensure that no development will be allowed in the City which could degrade the water quality of Taylor Creek. Objective 6: To improve the water quality of Taylor Creek by 2010, the City shall develop a program to set limits as to the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus that can be discharged into the Creek. This objective is impacted because it specifically discusses measures to protect the Creek. Implementing policies allow for transfer of development rights, cooperation with the SFWMD for suggestions of improving water quality, and adopting best management practices (BMPs) to ensure maximum potential treatment of stormwater. Recommendations Low impact development (LID) is an approach to land development that uses various land planning, design and construction practices to simultaneously conserve and protect natural resource systems while reducing infrastructure costs. Designing an individual site to replicate predevelopment hydrology can reduce a development's impact on the natural systems. LID strategies depart from the centralized method of collecting, conveying and discharging stormwater. The LID techniques minimize impervious areas and store and treat stormwater in a more distributed fashion. Some common LID practices include: vegetated swales, buffers and strips; end -of -island bioretention cells; green roofs; and tree or Draft: August 30, 2010 141%Iaj4r Issues natural preservation areas. The City may consider helping developers seek funding assist- ance for applying such practices and bonus densities. In addition, the City may consider fast tracking the permitting process for develop- ments which incorporate LID techniques. It is recommended that the City provide design standards for LID measures which would benefit, not just the Taylor Creek area, but the City as a whole. LID practices may also be useful in addressing development in the City's downtown area as discussed under Major Issue 4, following. A new policy, 10.4, should be added to the Future Land Use Element as follows: Policy: By year-end 2013, the City will prepare Low Impact Development (LID) guidelines for both residential and non-residential development. These guidelines should include a provision for a moderate density bonus for development along Taylor Creek that meets the LID standards. Major Issue 4: The need to establish compatible and consistent urban design standards for the City's Downtown Area. Issue Description and Analysis Downtown Okeechobee, as outlined on Figure - 4.1, is the heart of the City of Okeechobee and its economic vitality is of great importance to its future health. The City has coordinated with Okeechobee Main Street and Okeechobee County and significant progress has been achieved in addressing the Downtown Area over the past ten years. However, these efforts have shown that more improvements are still needed to give the City's Downtown Area a unique look, improve pedestrian activity, and create a more pleasant shopping environment. Urban design standards provide a planning tool useful in achieving a more uniform downtown area and a public realm of attractive and com- fortable places in which residents and visitors will feel inclined to live and visit. These principles will help to define the community character by manipulating blocks and streets, building setbacks, landscape, building height and massing, and architectural articulation. If applied to site planning and architecture, urban design concepts can result in public spaces, including streets that adequately accommodate and enhance both pedestrian and automobile use. Urban design can produce development sympathetic to human scale and increased pedestrian participation. Successful urban design produces diversity, distinctiveness and a sense of place in a community. Major Issues As revealed at the Okeechobee Visioning Workshop, "the City is at the crossroads between the inevitable rural lifestyle transitioning to urban, as evidenced by ever- increasing traffic and new developments and efforts to maintain its unique quality of life. The City/County could chart their future by a vision to position themselves as the gateway to Lake Okeechobee and to capitalize on their location and potential as a major eco-tourism destination, or let others take the lead. Okeechobee Main Street is playing a major role in exploring and promoting those physical attributes that are most likely to transform the City as a gateway to Lake Okeechobee through the introduction of appropriate rural and urban design features." The Visioning Session showed that areas of opportunity exist within the City which opens the door for future master planning and corridor planning efforts. The opportunity areas were selected to introduce design feature treatments to generate the momentum necessary to incrementally transform the downtown area to a unique destination, with high design qualities. Draft: August 30, 2010 II-16 Major Issues The rural and urban design measures in the opportunity areas include: • Gateway Treatments (Rural/Urban) o Lighting o Murals o Signage • Median Treatments (Rural/Urban) • Intersection Treatments/Traffic Calming/Roundabouts • Judicial Center • Adaptive Reuse of the Old Jail/Railroad Depot Urban design standards can encourage both private and public projects to recognize, preserve, and enhance the form, scale, and visual character that make downtown unique within the City and the region. These guidelines will be designed to: 1. Assure the long term economic vitality of the Downtown area; 2. Establish a pedestrian district; 3. Provide improved links along NE and SE Park Street between NW/SW 71h Avenue to NE/SE 5th Avenue; 4. Locate and build additional public places; 5. Design and construct streetscape improvements throughout the Downtown Area; 6. Maintain the historic character; 7. Expand the role of the arts and public events Downtown; 8. Encourage residential uses near to and in the Downtown area; 9. Provide better access to the downtown for alternative transportation modes; and 10. Improve parking.

From an economic standpoint, upholding design standards provides a more aesthetically pleasing environment and provides a more inviting atmosphere for prospective residents and businesses. Moreover, requiring all developments and substantial redevelopments to adhere to visual and architectural standards will help maintain property values and reduce the number of blighted structures. As stated earlier, Downtown Okeechobee is the heart of the City. Developing urban design guidelines will help the City to balance the need for economic vitality with the need to maintain and enhance Downtown's unique sense of place. The environmentally -oriented regulations such as the LID principles discussed in Major Issue 3 will allow the City to take advantage of its natural resources, both from a marketing standpoint and by maximizing recreational activities for residents and visitors. From a social perspective, the City will benefit from the "pride of ownership" its citizens feel as the result of being part of community that has an identifiable character and personality. This pride of ownership will enhance the strong sense of community that already exists in Okeechobee and may result in increased citizen participation and upkeep of land and structures. Identification of Comprehensive Plan Elements Impacted and Assessment of Effects on Specific Objectives The Future Land Use and Transportation Elements of the Comprehensive Plan are impacted by this major issue. Specific objectives IVlajar Issues and the impacts on these objectives are discussed below. Future Land Use Element Objective 7. The City of Okeechobee shall continue to protect significant natural and historic resources. This objective is impacted because it requires the City to protect historic resources. Objective S: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to encourage the redevelopment and renewal of blighted areas. This objective is impacted because it requires the City to encourage redevelopment. Objective 10: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to promote the various and innovative land development techniques. This objective is impacted as it relates to land development regulations which protect the public and preserve natural features. Objective 12: By the year 2002, the Unified Land Development Code shall be revised to specifically encourage redevelopment, infill development, compatibility with adjacent uses, and curtailment of uses inconsistent with the character and land uses of surrounding areas, and shall discourage urban sprawl, as provided in the following policies. This objective is impacted because it requires the Unified Land Development Code to regulate the use, intensity and location of land development, ensure safe and convenient traffic flows, and encourages development consistent with the character of the surrounding area. Draft: August 30, 2010 11_19 Traffic Circulation Element Objective 6: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to implement a program for providing roadway needs that integrates acceptable design standards. This objective is impacted because it requires the City to enforce regulations within its Land Development Code which protects and enhances roadways. Objective 8: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to coordinate development with the provision of adequate motorized and non - motorized transportation facilities. This objective is impacted because policies within it require the City to enforce regulations within its Land Development Code and provide for sidewalks and bikepaths. Recommendations The following revisions to the Comprehensive Plan are recommended to address this major issue although the specific text incorporated into the subsequent EAR -based amendment may differ. Future Land Use Element Obiective• The City of Okeechobee shall improve the visual and aesthetic appearance of the City through the development and implementation of urban design architectural and landscape guidelines for the Downtown Area. Policy: The City shall develop architectural design review standards for commercial structures located along Mal Jor Issues NE Park Street, SE Park Street and U.S 441. Traffic Circulation Element Obiective• The City shall improve the aesthetic qualities and appearance of roadways and their adjacent land uses. Policy: By 2012 the City shall incorporate into its Unified Land Development Code architectural review and design guidelines for commercial development for properties within the Downtown Area along NE Park Street SE Park Street and U.S_. 441. Other considerations should include shared parking; parcel inter - connectivity; increased landscaping requirements; requirements for mechanical irrigation systems; and standards for Low Impact Development (LID) concepts. Policv: The City shall initiate development of a comprehensive "streetscape" plan for the Downtown Area which should include unifying landscape design for medians, street trees and urban design/LID considerations. Policv: Initial emphasis shall be given to improving the appearance and aesthetics of NE Park Street, SE Park Street SR 70 and US 441, each of which are gateways to the City. Draft: August 30, 2010 11-20 IA *or Issues Major Issue 5: The need to emphasize pedestrian connectivity and establish streetscape standards within the City. Issue Description and Analysis The public image created by the visual quality of the City's streets, sidewalks, and landscaping is important. People like attractive and well cared for environments within which to shop and work. The care and maintenance of the City's walkable areas adds value to the City and improves public safety. The City is promoting urban design guidelines within its Downtown Area to assure the long term economic vitality of the Downtown Area, establish a pedestrian district, and to design and construct streetscape improvements throughout the Downtown area. However, pedestrian connectivity and streetscape standards should be implemented throughout the City. A vital element for achieving sustainability is reducing the City's dependence on vehicular travel. The term "pedestrian connectivity" is introduced as a measure of both the directness of route and the route distance for the pedestrian for each home - destination trip. Pedestrian -friendly streets should be designed to be more accommodating to pedestrian traffic than are conventionally designed streets. Pedestrian -friendly streets are an increasingly popular design strategy for creating walkable neighborhoods. This trend is associated with smart growth. Reduced energy consumption, and therefore greater sustainability, may be achieved by having neighborhoods retrofitted in such a way as to allow people to walk for some of their needs. The City is working to establish a positive balance between vehicular and pedestrian use of the streets. Social, Economic and Environmental Impacts Sidewalks and walkability have long been synonymous with the small town, low -density residential feel that Okeechobee embraces. Efforts to calm traffic in walkable environments through street design have demonstrated a reduction in accident severity, accident frequency, and environmental impact. Well designed sidewalks provide the necessary comfort, safety, and sense of welcome to support walking. Draft: August 30, 2010 II-21 Identification of Comprehensive Plan Elements Impacted and Assessment of Effects on Specific Objectives The Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan is impacted by this major issue. Specific objectives and the impacts on these objectives are discussed below. Traffic Circulation Element Objective 6: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to implement a program for providing roadway needs that integrates acceptable design standards. This objective is impacted because it requires the City to enforce regulations within its Land Development Code which protects and enhances roadways. Objective 8: The City of Okeechobee shall continue to coordinate development with the provision of adequate motorized and non - motorized transportation facilities. This objective is impacted because policies within it require the City to enforce regulations within its Land Development Code and provide for sidewalks and bikepaths. Recommendations The following revisions to the Comprehensive Plan are recommended to address this major issue although the specific text incorporated into the subsequent EAR -based amendment may differ. Traffic Circulation Element Policy 8.6: By year end 2012, the City of Okeechobee shall adopt a Streetscape and Landscaping Plan Major Issues providing design guidelines that address pedestrian and bicycle accessibility, urban design and accepted traffic calming techniques. The "Streetscape, Sidewalk and Landscape Plan" shall require that sidewalks be constructed on all city streets by the year 2030, and said Plan shall incorporate coordination with utilities expansion plan. Policy 8.7: The City shall include in its Land Development Code, provisions to require construction of sidewalks along street frontages, as set forth in its Streetscape and Landscaping Plan, for all new construction of residential or nonresidential construction or conversion from residential to non residential use; except that new construction of an individual single-family or an individual duplex structure shall be exempt from this requirement. Draft: August 30, 2010 II-22 Recommendations Pursuant to Florida Statutes, §163.3191(2)(j), this Section of the Report identifies any corrective measures, including whether Plan Amendments are anticipated to the major issues identified and analyzed in this Report. The following recommendations are categorized by: 1) issues of major concern; 2) changes due to state law; and 3) other changes. e• •-• • •104 i t %7 , - 7 4 Me =- 6 0 :9. • • • •� Major Issue 1: The need to provide for a transition from residential use to commercial use in certain areas of the City. Future Land Use Element The new Transitional Commercial Future Land Use category would also include provision for mixed use in the form of commercial use and residential use on the same parcel. The following revisions are recommended to the Future Land Use Element to implement the City's desire to provide for additional flexibility and increased commercial development opportunities in close proximity to US 441 and SR 70, the major east - west and north -south arterials serving the City and surrounding unincorporated areas. Specific text incorporated into the EAR -based amendment, however, may differ from that presented herein. Add a new Policy 2.1 (g) to the Future Land Use Element creating a Transitional Commercial Future Land Use Category (FLOC) to read as follows: Policy 2.1 W Transitional Commercial Overlay. This category is intended to provide additional and varied commercial opportunities in locations in close Proximity to the City's maior arterials and adjacent to residential areas. Allowable uses include a wide variety of residential, commercial, industrial and public and semi-public uses as allowed within the RSF1, RMF, CPO, CLT, CHV CBD, IND and PUB zoning districts. However, any rezoning of lands within this Future Land Use Category subsequent to the adoption of this FLUC shall be only to the RMF, CLT or CPO zoning districts, thereby providing a transition from more intense development along the maior arterials to lesser intensity closer to residential areas. Mixed residential and commercial uses may be allowed on the same parcel. Major Issue 2: The need to eliminate inconsistencies between the Official Zoning Map and the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). There are no specific language changes, but identified conflicts will be eliminated during the EAR - based Amendments. Major Issue 3: The need to re-examine the Taylor Creek area and related Plan Policies in order to allow development that would not degrade its water quality. Future Land Use Element A new policy, 10.4, should be added to the Future Land Use Element as follows: Policy 10.4: By year-end 2013, the City will prepare Low Impact Development (LID) guidelines for both residential and non- residential development.
