MAP ID #12 b 9 -21 -2012 PLANNING BOARD WORKSHOP MINUTES The recommendation is to rezone the property to RSF1. There were no questions, comments or objections noted. No. 12 a,is a parcel which is a part of abandoned Riverside Drive and is contiguous to Lots 1 and 12 of Block 82, City of Okeechobee. The property owner owns this parcel together with Lots 1, 2,11 and 12 of said Block, and is addressed as 649 NE 6°i Street. It contains a single family home and accessory uses. Has a FLU designation as SF and Zoning as H, The recommendation is to rezone the property to RSF -1. There were no questions, comments or objections noted. No. 12 b., is also a portion of abandoned Riverside Drive that is now part of Diamond R Fertilizer located at 710 NE 51h Avenue, Legal: Block 53, City of Okeechobee, and NE 611' Avenue from 7th Street to railroad and part of NE 811' Street from 46 Avenue to Taylor Creek. The property has a FLU of SF with a portion Zoned H and another Industrial (IND). The recommendation is to change the FLU to Industrial and rezone the Holding portion to IND. The Board discussed the issue of making sure their recommendations were consistent and how this property is different than map Identification No. 7. There were several zoning districts that would have been beneficial to that parcel. The Planning Staff recommended RSF-1, which will cause the existing use to be non - conforming. However, the use is not accurately known, as it was their extended drive thru service, then later the teller booths were demolished. It appears to only be used as an overflow parking lot In this instance, Planning Staff is recommending to change both the FLU and Zoning for several reasons. One, the surrounding and existing industrial uses around and on the properly. Second, the proximity to the railroad. While there are some residential homes in the area, RSF-1 would not be a practical recommended zoning district The consensus of the Board was to uphold the Planners recommendation. No. 12 c., is a 0.99 acre parcel located between CSX Railroad and NE 9th Street, West of Taylor Creek and East of Block 51. The property has a FLU of SF and a Zoning of H. The recommendation is to change both the FLU and Zoning to Industrial. The parcel is not suitable for any other zoning due to it's proximity to the railroad and adjacent existing Industrial uses. Board consensus was in agreement with the Planner's recommendation. No. 13 a. is 23.86 acres located at 1200 NE -12" Drive, and is the Ground Water Treatment Plant for Okeechobee Utility Authority (QUA). The FLU is Industrial and has a Zoning of H. The recommendation is to either rezone to IND to be consistent with the FLU map or change the FLU to Public Facilities (PF) and rezone to Public Facilities (PUB) as suggested by the OUA. Consensus of the Board was to change the FLU to PF and rezone to PUB since the property is owned and operated by a governing agency and has protected well heads. VI.

Consider Petition No. 12 -001 —TA, amending Land Development Regulations, Section 90- 572(a)(1), Sign Regulations - McDonalds Corporation (Exhibit 2). CHAIR HOOVER CLOSED THE REZONING PUBLIC HEARING AT 7:32 P.M. ALL ITEMS WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON OCTOBER 16, 2012. Ms. Susanne Wildner submitted Petition No. 12 -001 -TA on behalf of McDonalds Corporation, requesting a change in the Land Development Regulations, Section 90 -572, Building Signs, Paragraph (a)(1), for building with a single business or occupant. The current regulations reads one square foot of sign face area for each linear foot of the building width that faces the front of the lot (for example, if the width of the building facing the front of the lot is 50 feet wide, the maximum total sign face area for all building signs is 50 square feet). The applicant is requesting the City consider changing this to increase the amount of allowable sign face area to include in the calculation not only the front street but side and rear streets as well. The Planning Staff Report, presented by Mr. Brission specifically responded to the applicants case, a brief history of the changes made to the sign regulations and a comparison table as to how much signage they would be allowed prior to and after the adoption of Ordinance No. 994, which completely revised the sign regulations. While Planning Staff did not recommend adopting the proposed changes as requested by the applicant, the following recommended changes were offered: The total area of all building signs for an enterprise shall not exceed one square foot of sign face area for each linear foot of property along the front of the lot. For the purpose of this section, the front of the lot is the side upon which the property is addressed." Map ID No. 18 Owner: Ivan D.
