At ter a discussion concerning the existing Comprehensive Plan, the vote
was taken and it was Unanimous to Deny.
PETITION #233 -R - OTTIS E. JAMES.- RG -2 to C -II (permitted 'principal
use)
Mr. Ottis James came before the Board and explained the location of
his property. He explained that Mrs. James would like to locate her
business to that location so they had started constructing a building.
He had been told the zoning would have to be changed before the business
could be opened.
Walter Taylor stated that he thought the idea of the request was to
seek the retail sales use on the subject property.
Chairman Williamson explained that the subject property is just outside
of an existing commercially zoned area with its existing RG -2 district.
There were no letters and no questions or comments from the audience.
Chairman Williamson stated that the subject property does touch corner
to corner with existing commercial. He explained that better planning
would be for the whole area to be rezoned to commercial, but Okeechobee
county does not have a good mechanism to change the whole area based

Robert Hoover after having considered all factors made a motion to Recom-
mend Approval based on factor item (f) Changed or changing conditions
made the passage of the propo -ed amendment necessary.
Seconded by Roger Jones. The vote was Unanimous to Recommend Approval.
PETITION #235 -R - JOSEPH V. JONES - AC to RMH w /Special Exception
and a Variance.
Mr. Jerry Jolicoeur came before the Board to represent the petition.
He explained that he is a realtor handling the sale of the subject proper-
