Discuss the proposed Holding Zoning District - Senior Planner Brisson. PAGE 1 OF 4 DISCUSSION In the absence of Mayor Kirk, and there being no objections, Council Member Watford called the July 18, 2013, City Council and Planning Board Joint Workshop to order at 6:10 p.m. and will serve as Mayor Pro - Tempore. City Clerk Gamiotea called the roll: Absent Present Present Present (Serving as Mayor Pro - Tempore) Absent Present Present Present Present Present Present Present Present Present Present Present Present Present Present Mayor Pro -Tern Watford began the discussion by conveying the Council's appreciation of the Planning Board's hard work, and hoped it was not taken personally when the Council's action did not always agree with the Board's recommendations. He also apologized on behalf of Mayor Kirk and Council Member Williams, both had previous engagements that would not allow them to attend. JULY 18, 2013 - CC & PB JOINT WORKSHOP - PAGE 2 OF 4 AGENDA DISCUSSION Ill. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION CONTINUED. A. Discuss the proposed Holding Zoning District continued. In January of 2011, by Resolution No. 2011 -01, the Council adopted the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) as required by Florida Statute 163.3191, to periodically assess the success and /or failure of the Comprehensive Plan, which offers a policy for guidance of growth and development for a certain time period. The EAR addresses the changing conditions of the community, identifies major issues of concem, and proposes changes. One area of concern in the EAR, are the conflicts between the Zoning and the Future Land Use Maps. The Planning Board held several workshops and a Public Hearing in 2012 to review and discuss the properties with a Holding Zoning District, and made recommendations to change the zoning based on information and recommendations provided by the City's Planning Consultant, However, at the October 16, 2012 City Council Public Hearing, the owners of the larger parcels, with a Holding zoning and agriculture use and /or exemption disagreed with the recommendations, and raised concern over losing their exemptions. The Council only approved five zoning changes for properties that had an accompanying Future Land Use Amendment (see Ordinance No's. 1092, 1093, and 1095). As requested by Council, the Planning Board re- reviewed, considered, and recommended the City re -adopt a Holding Zoning District, with agricultural uses. These proposed changes will be submitted to the Council as a Land Development Regulation amendment. However, the Future Land Use Element, which governs what zoning districts are permitted in which types of Future Land Use Classifications, would need to be amended first in order to adequately address the new zoning. The Planning Board expressed concem with the direction of the Comprehensive Plan amendment and requested the workshop. During the discussion, several specific areas were noted, one was how to adequately address properties that have an agriculture exemption, as the City does not want to put their exemption in jeopardy. There are currently 17 properties within the City with this exemption. Thirteen are zoned Holding, the others are zoned Industrial, Residential Multiple Family, Residential Single Family -1, and Planned Unit Development - Residential. All have some type of an agriculture existing use. The properties currently zoned Holding, with agricultural uses and exemptions will most likely be the easiest to address. The Holding Zoning District as proposed, could be the criteria for the properties to meet in order to remain as Holding, and they would include a broad enough definition to allow current agricultural uses to remain. Should the property set, the new owners would be allowed to keep the same zoning and use. The majority does not want any new properties rezoned to Holding, only those eligible to be Holding will remain. When the amendments are adopted, the properties addressed wit either remain Holding or change. This will be the final opportunity for owners to obtain a Holding Zoning in the City. JULY 18, 21113 - CC & PB JOINT WORKSHOP - PAGE 3 OF 4 AGENDA DISCUSSION III. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION CONTINUED. A. Discuss the proposed Holding Zoning District continued. There was a discussion relating to renaming the zoning to either Light Agriculture or Heritage, as was adopted by Martin County to resolve this same type of situation. The Planning Board will have the option of creating a new title in their recommendation. Turning to smaller properties, currently zoned Holding, that are either vacant or have a residential use would most likely not be able to meet the criteria to remain, and would need to be rezoned based on appropriate existing and surrounding uses. Citizen, Mr. Mack "Hoot" Whorley, Jr., announced he was there to advocate for exempting the 4-H and Future Farmers of America (FFA) projects, and for the youth of the community. He then explained he rents out a home at 1115 Southwest gm Street. Net door is an empty lot, appropriately fenced with a horse on it. The owner of the horse is a young girf who Lives an the other side. The two lots have different owners. She rides the horse everyday. During livestock show season she raises an animal, housing it in the fenced lot as well. His tenants do not have a problem with the animals, they enjoy them, and he cautioned adopting any changes that would prohibit this type of situation as there are similar cases all throughout the City. Mr. Whorley also explained he recently discovered that a horse is not considered an agriculture or livestock animal, unless its used for breeding, but is classified as a recreational animal. Both the Council and Board wanted to be clear that they did not want to jeopardize the already established make -up of Okeechobee. Residents have bought property and moved their families here based on a lifestyle they cannot get along the coast or other areas in Florida. People want to be able to live with their livestock which is a critical element of the community's heritage and industry. The 4 -H and FFA students are supported and encouraged to participate in county fairs, livestock events and sales throughout the year. The City does not want to create a problem for those students and cause them not to be able to participate simply because they five in the City Limits. Planner Brisson explained that situations where there is a principal use on the property, will allow an adjacent accessary use of Light Agriculture, however, it should be clearer in the Code. Clerk Gamiotea explained of another scenario where the property is not zoned Holding, does not have a principal use, and is used from time to time by the 4 -H and FFA students to raise their show animals. It was recommended that these types of situations be documented and handled in a separate ordinance, amending either the Animal section of the Code or the Land Development Regulations so that it is allowed, but not to create a nuisance to the surrounding residents. Council Member Maxwell added, while we are addressing these, we should be pro -active and address the community gardens that have become popular recently. The majority agreed.

Kirk, Mayor Lane Gamiotea, CMC, City Clerk Several Planning Board Members took a moment to thank the Council for allowing the joint workshop, it seems to have been productive and will assist them in making their recommendation on these issues. Mayor Pro -Tern Watford thanked everyone for their time. Planner Brisson should have the information needed to draft amendments to present to the Planning Board who can then take as many meetings as necessary until the recommendation is the way the majority wants to present it, then the Council will have a chance at them. The discussion did not include specifics to the Future Land Use categories. However, Mayor Pro -Tem Watford was assured Planner Brisson had all the necessary information to draft the appropriate amendments for the Planning Board. There being no further discussion, Mayor Pro -Tem Watford adjourned the Workshop at 7:33 p.m. It was mentioned the proposed amendments would be considered at the September 19, 2013 Planning Board Meeting.

Planner Brisson referenced his memorandum dated April 10 regarding proposed changes to accommodate the inclusion of limited agriculture in all Future Land Use categories provided the lands are zoned Holding. This matter was previously heard before this Board in February, though was not advertised as a public hearing, which is a state requirement. The Planning Board has already made a recommendation that the City Council re- create /adopt a Holding Zoning Category. Owners will be allowed to have Limited Agriculture uses as long as properties are zoned Holding. He further explained that the definition of Limited Agriculture is a non - commercial business that allows grazing, boarding or raising of livestock. The main concem is regarding lands zoned as RSF -1. Board Members Ritter and McCreary were concemed with the property owners who have something other than Holding Zoning and children who are raising animals for 4H and FFA. Board Member McCreary had grave concems that the recommended changes, as presented in the Planner's memorandum, would cause problems with being allowed to keep 4H and FFA animals on their property. He did not want to tamper with what was already allowed as this then could cause misinterpretations. Discussion ensued as to how the Board should proceed. 430 AGENDA V. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED.

The witness then reportedly told the of- ficer that, for no apparent reason, Reyna turned around and hit the victim in the face. The older man then fell backwards and hit the back of his head on the asphalt- covered parking lot. Reyna apparently had a beer bottle in one hand, but the witness was not sure if he struck the victim with the bottle, added the report. The officer's report went on to point out that when he arrived on the scene Mr. Man - zo was bleeding from his nose and mouth and his breathing "... was very heavy and labored." At one point the victim went into cardiac arrest and emergency medical per- sonnel had to perform cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The report stated Mr. Manza had to be taken to Lawnwood by ambulance because he was too unstable to be airlifted. "He was later diagnosed with a life- threat- ening subdural bleed (brain bleed) near the rear of the brain," stated the officer. "Addi- tionally, he was without oxygen for an ex- tended period of time — approximately 40 minutes." The report went pointed out no gun or any other type of weapon was found on, or around, Mr. Manzo. CITY Continued From Page 1 their land. The City Planning Board recommended one goat, sheep or hog per acre and the plan would allow horses and cattle, small vegeta- ble gardens, the cultivation of hay and 4 -H and FFA projects. "We want it fairly limited. No more than what people have been doing in the city already," Mr. Brisson said. "Were not look- ing at elephants, we look at domesticated animals and farm animals, and giving some- body some guidance," he told the council. There are limited agriculture operations in various locations in the city, Most of them were zoned holding. That was eliminated by the city and could be replaced by a new district, perhaps named rural heritage. He emphasized properties with agriculture ex- emptions, as commercial operations, would not be impacted. Councilman Clayton Williams voiced concern about having too many farm ani- mals, especially hogs. "Have you ever lived down wind with a hog with it wet and muddy? You may not be able to handle that," he added. Mr. Brisson admitted some of these prop- erties are too small to handle multiple ani- mals. Councilman Dowling Watford said the goal is to allow 4 -H and FFA students to con- tinue to have projects. Councilman Devin Maxwell voted against the ordinance, and raised a number of ques- tions. He said he was very confused by the ordinance, and likened it to gibberish. Mayor Jim Kirk said the city would not allow something that is not permitted. He said no matter how many words are put to paper, human error can take place. Councilman Watford said he questioned whether the city should allow five horses and only three sheep. He said he doesn't want a hog farm in the city limits. "What we're trying to allow is the 4 -H member to raise a hog," he said. Your pape1; not QUA.

Sthk.EECHOBEE NEWS Community Service Through Journalism 1/21/14 Activity Rpt Cont'd • Ord # 1107 Comp Plan amendments (Ag & uses) — Pls see Bill Brisson's Jan 9, 2014 memo (Exhibit 1) to the Agenda. You recall the City met in a July workshop and the Planning Board met September 19th to discuss issues related to 'H — Holding' zoned parcels and to limited agriculture throughout various Land Uses along with a new district 'RH' (Rural Heritage) to the Zoning Districts. In the proposed Ord there are also some wording clarification to easily identify acceptable zoning categories within each Land Use category. Another ordinance, next meeting, will incorporate the specific changes to the City Code. Finally, thereafter the City will tackle the H- Holding zoned parcels...once the uses are provided for by the ordinances mentioned above. Clear as mud? • Main Street festivals — You will see on the Agenda Sharie Turgeon plans to present Special Event applications: Top of the Lake Art, Speckled Perch, Labor Day and Christmas. • Huey helicopter installation — The helicopter door rivets were removed and someone gained access but there was no apparent damage other than that. It's been riveted /repaired. The City is slowly receiving parts but still doesn't have the necessary parts to install the main rotor. • Replaced deteriorated Chickee at City Hall Park — Received complete reimbursement from the Seminole Tribe for the chickee replacement and sent a thank you note. • 441/70 intersection project — FDOT set March 26, 2014 as the bid letting date for the project. Total cost for crosswalks - $72,112 based on 690 sy x $104.51/sy = $72,112. • BRAT Club dodqeball tourney — I've attached a copy some of the application relating to the 3/1/14 event. While no street closing is requested, use of Park #3 will have a 40 X 40 tent for the tournament along w/ bleachers and it appears a few food vendors are included. • Chamber of Commerce application for monthly festival — A special event application was submitted (but has been delayed) requesting the first of monthly downtown festivals. Noteworthy issues include: — closing 300 block of SW Park St (4pm to 9:30pm) — a beer /wine garden at empty lot corner of SW 4th Av & Park — 100 blks of SW 3rd and 4th Av closed (no indication of use /need) — A 'kids zone' adjacent to SR 70 on the north side of the fest The Chamber asked to delay action by the City Council until after clarification on a few issues. • Legion Fair — setting up now to conduct fair 1/21 thru 2/3/14 operated by J & J Amusements, New Middletown, OH (same as in the past). Building Dept / General Services: • Dr. Bartels Fitness Center at former Rita Furniture location — Discussed this project again at the Nov 21 TRC. Mr Dobbs recently advised that the owner is investigating another use for the bldg...will keep you apprised.
