JUNE 16, 2016 - PLANNING BOARD - PAGE Z OF 5 ACTION - DISCUSSION — VOTE CHAIRPERSON HOOVER OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:01 P.M. Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 16- 002 -SSA, is being requested by the applicant, Mr. Robert Gent, Registered Agent, on behalf of the property owners, Okeechobee Asphalt and Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc., to change the classification from Single Family and Public Facilities to Industrial for all of Blocks 27 and 40; Lots 11 to 16 of Blocks 28 and 39; together with a portion of NW 10th Street and NW 7th Avenue, Town of Okeechobee, Plat Book 5, Page 5, Public Records of Okeechobee County, approximately 6.5 acres, located at 500 NW 9th Street. Chairperson Hoover yielded the floor to Planner Brisson who reviewed the application. The subject property has been used in the past by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) as a maintenance yard with outdoor storage of materials, office space and maintenance buildings. The new property owner intends to continue using the property in much of the same manner. A petition for a rezoning to Industrial has been submitted as well. Should the Board recommend approval for this application, the only recommendation for the rezoning petition would be the same. He recommends for approval, based on the findings within the Planning Staff Report. Mr. Steven Dobbs, Project Consultant, was present to respond to questions. There were none. Chairperson Hoover asked whether there were any comments or questions from those in attendance. There were none. Chairperson Hoover asked Board Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to anyone prior to this meeting regarding the application or visited the site. There were none stated. Planning Staffs findings are as follows: due to the requested Industrial land use classification, and the prior designation for the subject property being primarily Public Facilities, the actual use was and continues to be of an industrial nature. The application was found to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, specifically Policy 2.2 and Objective 12 of the Future Land Use Element. Block 40, and Lots 11 to 16 of Block 39 are designated Single Family, but their existing use has been a government maintenance facility for many years. Regarding adequacy of public facilities, the applicant has received letters from the Okeechobee Utility Authority indicating that service for potable water and wastewater is available and that there is adequate excess capacity to accommodate the demand that would be associated with the proposed use as well as more intensive industrial uses. No significant increase in traffic volume is expected upon the local roadways. Regarding solid waste, the County recently confirmed a considerable level of excess capacity available to serve the solid waste disposal needs. The fact that the proposed use is expected to be similar to that of the existing FDOT maintenance and storage yard would indicate that there will be no significant change in the level of solid waste generated. The proposed development will be required to meet all drainage standards required by the City and South Florida Water Management District. The AGENDA V. PUBLIC HEARING ITEM CONTINUED. A.S. a) Consideration of a recommendation to the City Council to approve or deny the application with /without special conditions for Application No. 16- 002 -SSA continued. b) Board discussion. c) Vote on motion.

JUNE 16, 2016 - PLANNING BOARD - PAGE 4 OF 5 ACTION - DISCUSSION - VOTE This being a quasi - judicial proceeding, Notary Public Patty Burnette administered an oath to those intending to offer testimony, responding affirmatively, and stated their name and addresses for the record. Mr. Bill Brisson, Senior Planner LaRue Planning and Management, 1375 Jackson Street, Suite 206, Fort Myers, Florida, and Mr. Steven Dobbs, P.E. with SLD Engineering of 1062 Jakes Way, Okeechobee, Florida. Planner Brisson reviewed the petition and his recommendation for approval, based on the findings within the Planning Staff Report. The subject property has been used in the past by FDOT as a maintenance yard with outdoor storage of materials, with office space and maintenance buildings. The current property owner intends to continue using the property in the same manner. Mr. Dobbs was present to respond to questions. There were none. Chairperson Hoover asked whether there were any comments or questions from those in attendance. There were none. The petition was advertised in the local newspaper, two signs were posted on the subject property and courtesy notices were mailed to 15 surrounding property owners. Chairperson Hoover asked Board Members to disclose for the record whether they had spoken to anyone prior to the meeting regarding the petition or visited the site. There were none stated. Planning Staff's findings are as follows: The proposed rezoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, should Application No. 16- 002 -SSA be approved. The proposed use being requested is permitted under the Industrial Zoning District. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest as the subject property will continue to be used in a similar manner as in the past. The property continues to be suitably located for industrial use and is adequately sized to provide for appropriate buffering and screening from nearby residential uses to the extent that may be necessary. It is reasonably compatible with surrounding land uses and is not contrary or detrimental to the urbanizing land use pattern. To the North, vacant lots with Multi - Family Future Land Use and RMF Zoning. To the East, vacant lots and a retention pond with Multi- Family and Industrial Future Land Use and RMF and Industrial Zoning. To the South is Okeechobee Asphalt and Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc., with an Industrial Future Land Use and Zoning. To the West, is vacant and one single family home, the Future Land Use is Single Family and Multi - Family and the Zoning is RSF1 and RMF. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions. It is not the opinion the designation will act as a deterrent to the development of adjacent property. There is nothing about the property that is so unique as to indicate that buffering, if needed, could not be accommodated. The proposed use should not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. The proposed use AGENDA V.

The Okeechobee Utility Authority owns and operates two water treatment plants with a combined treatment capacity of 6 MGD. During the twelve month period from March 2015 to February 2016, the maximum daily flow was 3.1 MGD, or about 52% of capacity. At the present time, the OUA has excess capacity at the treatment plants. The OUA has a potable water distribution main in the road right of way near the subject property. Any upgrade requirements to the water main due to the demands of the proposed project will be at the project owners' expense. Should you have any questions, comments or concerns with regards to the water system capacity, please contact the OUA at 863- 763 -9460. Sincerely, C-I2hn F. Hayfor Executive Director Okeechobee Utility Authority Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants Based on the information obtained from Okeechobee Utility Authority, the permitted capacity of the surface water treatment plant is 5.0 mgd with the ground water treatment plant rated at 1.0 mgd. The wastewater treatment plant permitted capacity is currently 3.0 mgd. The maximum daily flow of the combined water treatment plant finished water production is 3.4 mgd for the period of February 2014 through January 2015. The average daily flow of the wastewater treatment plant is 0.858 mgd for the same time period. Police The nearest City Police station is located at 50 SE 2nd Avenue. No additional Police stations are scheduled. The existing Police station should be able to maintain its level of service standard with the proposed amendment given that the project is immediately adjacent to an existing area already designated for commercial uses. Service availability from the Police Department will be determined by the local government review. Fire The nearest fire station is located at 55 SE 3rd Avenue. No additional fire stations are scheduled. The existing fire station should be able to maintain its level of service standard with the proposed amendment given that the project is immediately adjacent to an existing area already designated for commercial uses. Service availability from the Fire Department will be determined by the local government review. Solid Waste Waste Management operates the regional solid waste landfill. Since there is no increase in development, there will be no impact to the existing facility. Stormwater Management The project is located in the City of Okeechobee and according to the attached FIRM panel 12093C0415C, this parcel is in Flood Zone C. There are no wellfields within 1,000 feet of the parcel Potential adverse impacts to ground and surface waters will be minimized by implementation of appropriate erosion control measures during construction in accordance with the NPDES Generic Permit for Stormwater Discharge from Large and Small Construction Activities. Erosion control measures that may be implemented include stabilization practices such as temporary seeding, permanent seeding, mulching, geotextiles, or sod stabilization; structural practices such as silt fences, earth dikes, diversions, swales, sediment traps, check dams, or storm drain inlet protection; and sediment basins. Stormwater runoff quantity and quality are strictly regulated by the City and the SFWMD to ensure that pre - development drainage conditions are maintained. The proposed rate of discharge from the site will be less than or equal to the existing discharge rate from the site. The discharges off -site will be minimized by on -site detention within the stormwater management system. The drainage system will be owned, operated and maintained by the owner, who's past record of compliance has beens shown to be a responsible property owner and should be acceptable to the City and the SFWMD. The Stormwater Management System will employ, wherever practical, a variety of Best Management Practices (BMP). The following are a list of potential BMP that could be integrated into the Water Management System during the final design and permitting stage: • Oil and grease skimmers; • Environmental swales; • Minimize "short- circuiting" of pond flow patterns; • Raised storm inlets in grassed swales; • Utilize stormwater retention where feasible; and • Street cleaning and general site maintenance. Parks and Recreation As a self- contained Industrial facility, no impact to the parks and recreation needs of the City is anticipated. Hurricane Preparedness According to information in the Treasure Coast Transportation Analysis Hurricane Evacuation Study Update 2003, dated November 2003, the property is not located in any storm surge zone. The property is not within the Category 3 Hurricane Evacuation Area.

Re. uest The matter before the Local Planning Agency and City Council is an application for an amendment to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) for a 6.45 -acre parcel currently designated a combination of Single - Family (1.93 acres) and Public Facilities (4.52 acres). The proposal is to change the Future Land Use designation for the whole parcel to Industrial. The entire property is zoned Public Facilities. The parcel is also the subject of concurrent rezoning petition 16 -002 -R to apply Industrial zoning to the entire parcel. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 1 Staff Report Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 16- 002 -SSA The current and proposed Future Land Use designations, zoning, existing use, and acreage of the subject property and surrounding properties are shown in the following tables and on the maps on pages 7, 8 and 9.

B. Current Situation 1. Practical Maximum Likely Development Potential About 30% of the subject property (1.93 acres) is designated Single- Family on the FLUM. The maximum development potential is four units per acre (five if used for affordable housing) which would allow for between eight and ten single - family homes. Most of the property (4.52 acres) is designated Public Facility on the FLUM. This designation limits impervious surfaces to 85% while the PUB Zoning District limits maximum building coverage to 50% and maximum height to 45 feet (four stories). These limitations would allow for about 394,000 square feet of floor area. However, the character of development within the City of Okeechobee would indicate that a more practical maximum would be two - story public buildings totaling about 197,000 square feet. 2. Current Use The property has long been developed and used by FDOT as a Maintenance Yard with limited office space, maintenance /repair building(s), and outdoor storage of materials. C. Future Development Potential as Industrial 1. Practical Maximum Likely Future Development Potential While the Industrial Future Land Use category allows for an FAR of up to 3.00, given the 50% coverage limitation and the character of Okeechobee, one would not practically expect an industrial building greater than two stories. Therefore, development of the property would most likely not exceed 280,000 square feet of floor area. 2. Proposed Use The Applicant, however, intends to use the property much as it has histori- cally been used by FDOT, "for materials storage (crushed concrete, asphalt millings, and other such construction materials) office, and construction equipment repair." Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Petition No. 16- 002 -SSA Comprehensive Plan Analysis A. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and Compatibility with Adjacent Uses. Policy 2.2 of the Future Land Use Element recommends that the City protect the use and value of private property from adverse impacts of incompatible land uses, activities and hazards. Objective 12 states that the City of Okeechobee shall encourage compatibility with adja- cent uses, and curtailment of uses inconsistent with the character and land uses of surrounding areas, and shall discourage urban sprawl. The properties north, and along the northeast boundary, of the subject property are designated Multi - Family on the FLUM and zoned for multi - family use. While vacant, these areas are part of the Southern Trace multi - family development, the site plan approval for which lapsed some time ago. The property to the east of the southern half of the subject property appears to be a retention pond or other water body. The entire strip of land to the west of the subject property is vacant except for the southernmost lot. This lot is designated on the FLUM and zoned for multi - family use but is occupied by a single - family home. This lot, like the subject property, is just across NW 9th Street from the existing Okeechobee Asphalt operations to the immediate south. It is our belief, that much of the subject property was designated Public Facilities, at the time the City's original Comprehensive Plan was prepared by the Central Florida Regional Planning Council, solely on the basis of its ownership by the Florida Department of Transportation. The actual use was and continues to be of an industrial nature. We are unable to discern, however, why the two areas at the southwest and southeast corners of the subject property were designated Single - Family on the FLUM. We believe that an Industrial designation for the entire property would recognize its past and current use and could be considered a logical extension of the industrial corridor in this area. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 16- 002 -SSA B. Adequacy of Public Facilities Potable Water and Wastewater It is highly unlikely that the subject parcel will be developed even at the practical maximum intensity identified previously (280,000 square feet). Applying an estimate of 0.12 gallons of water per day per square foot of manufacturing type uses would indicate a demand for about 33,600 gallons of potable water and waste water treatment per day. This is not significantly greater than the daily demand of 29,600 gallons (@ 0.15 gallons per day per square foot) under the current Future Land Use designation for a 197,000 square foot Public Facility general office use. The Applicant has received letters from the Okeechobee Utility Authority indicating that service is available and that there is adequate excess capacity to accommodate the demand that would be associated with the proposed use as well as more intense industrial use of the subject property. Roadways At maximum development, the current 1.93 acres of Single- family FLU designation would generate only about ten trips during the peak hour. It is the larger Public Facilities lands that could be expected to generate virtually all of the trips associated with development of the site as a public facility use. According to the ITE Trip Generation, 8t' Edition, a 197,000 square foot government office building could be expected to generate 1.21 trips per 1,000 square feet of floor area during the peak hour. This indicates that a total 238 peak hour trips could be expected under the current Public Facility FLU designation. By comparison a heavy industrial use could be expected to generate 0.68 trips /1,000 square feet of floor area in the PM Peak Hour. Assuming the practical maximum of a 280,000 square foot industrial building, this translates to about 190 peak hour trips. This is 20% less than what could be expected under the current Public Facility designation. Of course, neither the existing FDOT use nor the proposed use by Okeechobee Asphalt could be expected to generate traffic levels anywhere near the above. Solid Waste The County has recently confirmed a considerable level of excess capacity available to serve the solid waste disposal needs of other developments in the City. The fact that the proposed use is expected to be similar to that of the existing FDOT maintenance and storage yard would indicate that there will be no significant change in the level of solid waste generation. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment Petition No. 16- 002 -SSA In the event any change was proposed that would dramatically increase solid waste generation, a concurrency assessment would be made to determine if adequate capacity still remains at that time. Drainage The proposed development will be required to meet all standards required by the City of Okeechobee and the South Florida Water Management District. C. Environmental Impacts The property has been in urbanized use for decades and the Applicant has provided basic information and mapping indicating that there are no environmentally sensitive areas, wetlands, or wildlife habitat for endangered species on the site. Recommendation Based on the foregoing analysis, we find the requested Industrial Future Land Use Designation for the subject property to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, reasonably compatible with adjacent uses, a continuation of prior uses, and consistent with the urbanizing pattern of the area. Therefore, we recommend Approval of the Applicant's request to amend the Comprehensive Plan to designate the subject property as Industrial on the City's Future Land Use Map. It should be noted that if the City approves the requested amendment to change the Future Land Use Category of the subject property to Industrial, then the only Zoning District consistent with that designation is the Industrial Zoning District. Therefore, the rezoning request would need to be approved. However, if the requested Future Land Use change is denied, then the requested zoning change should also be denied on the basis of its incompatibility with the Comprehensive Plan. It is important to be aware of this because once the Small Plan Amendment is acted upon, there are limited options with regard to the rezoning. is uu/bmitted by: __ Ul�J,- _? Wm: F.

FINDINGS REQUIRED FOR GRANTING A REZONING OR CHANGE IN LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (Sec. 70 -340, LDR page CD70:16) It is the Applicant's responsibility to convince the Planning Board /LPA and City Council that approval of the proposed rezoning is justified. Specifically, the Applicant should provide in his /her application and presentation sufficient explanation and documentation to convince the reviewing bodies to find that: 1. The proposed rezoning is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. 4. The proposed use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. 5. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property. (Rev 3/5/15) Page 6 of 11 Findings required for rezoning or change in land development regulations (cont.) 6. The proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. The City staff will, in the Staff Report, address the request and evaluate it and the Applicant's submission in Tight of the above criteria and offer a recommendation for approval or denial. (Rev 09/14) Page 7 of 11 Okeechobee Asphalt & Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc. Responses to Standards for Considering Changes in Zoning 1. The proposed change is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan Requirements; The proposed request in not contrary to the Comprehensive plan requirements and has been used and Public Facilities and Single Family Residential as the past land owners did. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations; The proposed request to continue to use the property as it has been used in the past is authorized under Industrial. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest; The proposed land use change would have no effect on the public interest as the property under the same ownership has been used as the current owner is planning to use it in the future. 4. The proposed use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patters; The proposed use is appropriate for the location and compatible with the adjacent land uses as the parcel was previously used as the current owner is planning and there is Industrial Zoning to the east and south of this parcel. 5. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a detriment to the improvement or development of adjacent property; As stated previously, the use has been the same on the property for many years as they will continue into the future and if there were any impact to the factors above, they would have already been realized. 6. The proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood; The property's use is not going to change as a result of this rezoning. The land to the north and northeast is zoned multifamily residential, however there is nothing currently developed on these properties. The land to the southeast is zoned industrial and is also undeveloped, but would require no screening. The land the west is zoned single family residential, while the land to the north west is undeveloped, there is a single family residence to the south west and can be screened if required by the City as there is already large trees existing on the east property line of the developed single family parcel. 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services; The past use has not created nor will the future use create a density pattern that would overburden any of the public resources in the area. 8. The proposed use will be create traffic congestion, flooding, or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety; As there are currently no plans to construct additional facilities on this parcel, the use will not create nor have a detrimental impact to the factors stated above. This property has an existing ditch that currently discharges into the NW 9th Street ROW there is no plan to change existing drainage patterns, nor impact public safety. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions; The proposed use is the same as the previous use, which has not caused the parcel to suffer from inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. Okeechobee Asphalt & Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc. (Description of requested land use change and reason for request) Okeechobee Asphalt & Ready Mixed Concrete, Inc. currently owns approximately 6.5 acres located in Section 15, Township 37S, and Range 35E. The property's parcel ID is 3- 15- 37 -35- 0010 - 00400 -0070. It is currently located in the City of Okeechobee with a current zoning of PUB — Public Facilities and a FLU of Public Facilities for the abandoned portion of NW 7th Avenue between NW 11t Street and NW 9th Street and the abandoned portion of NW 10th Street between NW 8th Avenue and the east boundary of the parcel and block 27 and the west portion of block 28 in this parcel. Block 40 and the western portion of block 39 have a FLU of Single Family Residential. The primary intent of rezoning this parcel is to bring all land owned at this location into uniform zoning. The owner has purchased this parcel from FDOT and is planning to use the parcel as FDOT did historically for material storage (crushed concrete, Asphalt Millings, and other such construction materials), office, and construction equipment repair. This application is for the City to grant a zoning on this parcel from the existing Public Facilities and Single Family Residential to Industrial. The existing access to this property is from NW 9th Street from the south.

Re • uest The matter before the Local Planning Agency and City Council is an application for rezoning of a 6.45 -acre parcel currently zoned PUB, Public Facilities to IND, Industrial. The parcel is also the subject of a concurrent Small Scale Development Plan Amendment (SSA) to change 1.93 acres from Single- Family to Industrial and 4.52 acres from Public Facilities to Industrial on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 1 Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Petition No. 16 -002 -R The current and proposed Future Land Use designations, zoning, existing land uses, and acreage of the subject property and surrounding properties are shown in the following tables and on the maps on pages 8, 9 and 10. Current Future Land Use, Zoning and Existing Land Use Characteristics Future Land Use Category Zoning District Use of Property Acreage Existing Single- Family Residential (30 %) Public Facilities (70 %) PUB, Public Facilities (entire parcel) FDOT Maintenance Yard 6.45 acres Proposed Industrial IND, Industrial Materials storage 6.45 acres Future Land Use, Zoning, and Existing Uses on Surrounding Properties North East South West Future Land Use Map Zoning District Existing Land Use Future Land Use Map Zoning District Existing Land Use Future Land Use Map Zoning District Existing Land Use Future Land Use Map Zoning District: Existing Land Use Classification Classification Classification Classification Multi - Family RMF Vacant Multi - Family & Industrial RMF & IND Vacant Industrial IND Industrial (Okeechobee Asphalt) Single - Family & Multi- Family RSF1 & RMF One single - family home balance is vacant Anal sis Section 70 -340 of the Land Development Regulations requires that the reviewing body find that an application for rezoning meets each of the following conditions. The Applicant has provided comments to each of the required findings. These are repeated below in Times Roman typeface exactly as provided by the Applicant. Staff has made no attempt to correct typos, grammar, or clarify the Applicant's comments. Staff comments are shown in this Arial typeface. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Petition No. 16 -002 -R 1. The proposed rezoning is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. "The proposed request is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan requirements and has been used and Public Facilities and Single Family Residential as the past land owners did." Staff Comment: This rezoning application is being addressed concurrently with the Applicant's request for a Small Scale Development Plan Amendment (SSA) to the City's FLUM to change the Future Land Use designation from Public Facility and Single - Family to Industrial. Staff has recommended approval of that request and found the change to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. If the Applicant's request for an Industrial designation on the FLUM is approved, the only zoning district that is consistent with the Industrial Future Land Use category is IND, Industrial, and the Applicant's requested rezoning should be approved. On the other hand, If the City denies the FLUM change to Industrial, a rezoning to Industrial would be inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and should not be approved. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations." "The proposed request to continue to use the property as it has been used in the past is authorized under Industrial." Staff Comment: The Applicant intends to use the property much as it has historically been used by FDOT, i.e., "for materials storage (crushed concrete, asphalt millings, and other such construction materials) office, and construction equipment repair." Outdoor storage, business office, and mechanical and repair services are specifically identified in the list of permitted uses of the Industrial Zoning District under items (9), (1), and (6), respectively. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. "The proposed land use change would have no effect on the public interest as the property under the same ownership has been used as the current owner is planning to use it in the future." Staff Comment: As explained in the Staff Comments to the Small Plan Amendment (16- 002 -SSA), the continuation of the uses similar to those that have long been establish on the site will have no effect upon the ability of the various services providers to continue to provide public services. Furthermore, even if the property is developed to a greater intensity, public facility capacities will not be adversely affected. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Petition No. 16 -002 -R Furthermore, we believe that an Industrial designation for the entire property would recognize its past and current use and could be considered a logical extension of the industrial corridor in this area and consistent with the urbanizing pattern of the area. 4. The proposed use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. "The proposed use is appropriate for the location and compatible with the adjacent land uses as the parcel was previously used as the current owner is planning and there is Industrial Zoning to the east and south of this parcel." Staff Comment: We believe the subject property continues to be suitably located for industrial use and that its size is adequate to provide for appropriate buffering and screening from the nearby residential uses to the extent that may be necessary. The single - family use adjacent to the extreme southwest corner of the subject property, is located nearby to the existing Okeechobee Asphalt facility and has for many years been the nearest neighbor to the FDOT maintenance yard. 5. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property. "As stated previously, the use has been the same on the property for many years as they will continue into the future and if there were any impact to the factors above, they would have already been realized." Staff Comment: Staffs assessment of the compatibility of the requested rezoning with adjacent land uses would support the opinion that the proposed uses will not adversely affect property values or living conditions. With regard to the industrial designation acting as a deterrent to development of adjacent property, the existing FDOT use was not a deterrent to the private market selection of the properties to its immediate north as the site of the Southern Trace multi - family development. Rather, this development was a victim of the housing bust associated with the "Great Recession ". We believe that the areas of significant activity can be located sufficiently from the boundaries of the property to provide an adequate spatial buffer. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Petition No. 16 -002 -R 6. The proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood. "The property's use is not going to change as result of this rezoning. The land to the north and northeast is zoned multifamily residential, however there is nothing currently developed on these properties. The land to the southeast is zoned industrial and is also undeveloped, but would require no screening. The land the west is zoned single family residential, while the land to the north west is undeveloped, there is a single family residence to the south west and can be screened if required by the City as there is already large trees existing on the east property line of the developed single family parcel." Staff Comment: The current use appears to have adequate setbacks adjacent residential zoning. However, Sec. 90-454 requires that outdoor storage uses are screened from adjacent residential zoning districts. This applies whether or not the residentially zoned properties are vacant or developed. While there is a fence along the perimeter of the property, in no place does it appear that this fence serves to visually screen the uses from adjoining residentially zoned properties. To the extent that outdoor storage occurs, or will occur along, the eastern property line adjacent to the RMF zoning, or the western property line adjacent to the RMF or RSF1 zoning, screening should be provided as required by §90- 454 in nonresidential districts. There is nothing about the property that is so unique as to indicate that buffering or screening, if needed, could not be accommodated. 7. The use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. "The past use has not created nor will the future use create a density pattern that would overburden any of the public resources in the area." Staff Comment: The proposed use is not residential and therefore has no density component or effect upon schools. Furthermore, the intensity of the proposed use has been described in both this and the Staff Report for 16- 002 -SSA in a manner that clearly indicates that neither the actual proposed uses nor other likely or allowable industrial uses would overburden water, sewer, solid waste facilities or local transportation facilities. Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Petition No. 16 -002 -R 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. "As there am currently no plans to construct additional facilities on this parcel, the use will not create nor have a detrimental impact to the factors stated above. This property has an existing ditch that currently discharges into the NW 9th Street ROW there is no plan to change existing drainage patterns, nor impact public safety. Staff Comment: We agree with the Applicant that continuation of the types of activities historically undertaken on the property will not result in increased traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems. However, the fact that there are no plans to change the nature or intensity of the existing industrial uses on the property is not the appropriate basis for determining whether or not the proposed use (i.e., industrial use) may create traffic congestion or other problems. Rather, the City needs to look to the future and review the application in the context of what uses might practically be developed on the property. This analysis was prepared by the Staff for the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment (16- 002 -SSA) and it was determined that traffic levels that could be expected if the parcel were redeveloped under Industrial Future Land Use and Zoning would likely be less than that which could result from redevelopment under the current Future Land Use and zoning designations. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. "The proposed use is the same as the previous use, which has not caused the parcel to suffer from inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions." Staff Comment: Neither the use of the parcel for the proposed continuation of the outdoor storage, mechanical and repair services, and office use; or, other conventional industrial uses will be inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. Recommendation Based on the foregoing analysis, we find the requested rezoning to Industrial to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, reasonably compatible with adjacent uses, and consistent with the urbanizing pattern of the area. Therefore, we recommend Approval of the Applicant's rezoning request. It should be noted, however, that if the City approves the requested amendment to change the Future Land Use Category of the subject property to Industrial, the only Zoning District consistent with that designation is the Industrial Zoning District. Therefore, the rezoning request would need to be approved. However, if the requested Serving Florida Local Governments Since 1988 Staff Report Rezoning Applicant's Name: Okeechobee Asphalt Petition No. 16 -002 -R Future Land Use change is denied, then the requested zoning change should also be denied on the basis of its incompatibility with the Comprehensive Plan. It is important to be aware of this because once the Small Plan Amendment is acted upon, there are limited options with regard to the rezoning. Submitted by: Wm. F.
