Discuss a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and County Commissioner Hazellief addressed the Council stating the Commission has discussed the possibility of asking County regarding First Responder Procedures - Commissioner the if the City Fire Department could be the first responder to auto accidents. The County feels that this is part of the Hazellief, County Administrator Long and County Fire Captain City's fire/rescue duties and it will help the County greatly. Right now as it is, when an accident happens in the City, Hopkins (Exhibit 3). the County gets called, they send out the emergency vehicle, firefighters/EMT's, then they transport. This ties up four of our people. We are asking for you to consider sending your fire department first, then if transport is required, the County would send the ambulance and certainly still back up one another. With the County's limited staff, the fire study and all that has been going on, and our workshop meetings, we have a problem being able to cover all our territory. We have asked several times and you have graciously responded to back up in those situations. This would greatly free up some of the County's personnel and it is going to certainly help the unity of working together, it would be good for the public to see the County and City working together. There are some details to work out. We are asking for you to approve both the Administrator's and Fire Chiefs to work out the details together. Following a lengthy discussion, Council instructed Administrator Bradshaw and Fire Chief Tomey to work with the County Staff to work out the details of the Memorandum of Understanding and bring it back to the Council for final approval. JULY 6,1999 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 4 OF 4 J7.W Pll NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. C. Discuss a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and County regarding First Responder Procedures continued. D. Update regarding Christmas Decorations - Council Member Markham. Discussion was also held regarding Council discussions with staff at a previous meeting as to the need to purchase a "Jaws of Life" piece of equipment for rescuing trapped victims and the time frame if such a purchase was to be made. No action was taken by Council on this matter at this meeting. Council Member Markham updated the Council in regards to the Christmas Decoration Committee's first meeting. The County has asked to spend thirty thousand dollars to put transformers on the light poles on 441 and 70 and purchase lighted Christmas decorations for those poles. The City would take the banners that we have used and extend them out wherever their lighting stops. The committee will also be working out details for putting the decorations up and taking them down by either contracting or getting someone to volunteer an electric truck to put those type of decorations up, our department is not qualified to do it. Housing of the decorations is also being worked out. We are currently looking at housing all the decorations at the City bam.

Schwalbe, and Clayton Williams, Agent, petition number 99-002-R, with the mailing address being 4647 Queen Lane, Jacksonville, Florida 32210-7552, for a change in zoning from City of Okeechobee Residential Single -Family (RSF) to City of Okeechobee Heavy Commercial (CHV). Background: The subject property is approximately 0.41acre(s) and is located at 707 S. Parrott Avenue. Although the property is currently zoned RSF and is being used as such, it is designated as Commercial on the Future Land Use Map. The applicant intends to develop the property consistent with the Heavy Commercial uses allowed in the Land Development Code. This development has public utilities. Adjoining property uses are as follows: North: Residential Single -Family South: Single Family East: Commercial West: Commercial 519 Staff Report 0 Petition No. 99-002-R Consistency with Land When recommending whether to rezone a classification of Development Regulations: land, the factors that the Planning Board shall consider include, where applicable, whether or not: The Proposed Change Is Contrary to the Established .Land Use Pattern. The Future Land Use Map designates the property Commercial. Most of the properties fronting Parrott Avenue are existing commercial businesses with the exception of two (2) single family structures adjacent to the subject property. Therefore, the proposed change would not be contrary to the established land use pattern. 2. The Proposed Change Would Create an Isolated District Unrelated to Adjacent and Nearby Districts. The land is currently an isolated district without the rezoning. To rezone the property to Commercial would bring it into compliance with the surrounding properties fronting Parrott Avenue. 3. Existing District Boundaries Are Illogically Drawn in Relation to Existing Conditions on the Property Proposed for Change. The existing district boundaries appear to be illogically drawn. Only three (3) houses along Parrott Avenue are currently designated single family. All other properties are designated commercial. 4. The Proposed Change Would Be Contrary to the Proposed Land Use Plan and Would Have an Adverse Effect on the Comprehensive Platt. The proposed change would not be contrary to the land use plan nor create an adverse effect on the Comprehensive Plan. On the contrary, the change would bring the property into compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map. -2- Staff Report Petition No. 99-002-R 5. Changed or Changing Conditions Make the Passage of the Proposed Amendment Necessary. It is the primary intent of the applicant to develop the property for commercial purposes. Without the proposed rezoning, this is not possible. 6. The Proposed Change Will Not Create a Drainage Problem. Presently there are no drainage problems associated with the site. Furthermore, the land development regulations require that on -site retention/detention be provided. Depending on the Water Management District review, other drainage concerns may need to be addressed at the time of construction. 7. The Proposed Change Will Seriously Reduce Light and Air to Adjacent Areas. The proposed change should not create a reduction in light and air to adjacent areas. At the time of site plan review, the applicant will be required to comply with height and setback requirements outlined in the City's Land Development Regulations. 8. The Proposed Change Will Adversely Affect Property Values in the Adjacent Area. It is difficult to determine whether the actual use will have an adverse effect on surrounding commercial property values. However, it is reasonable to assume that property values can, and will only, increase because of the rezoning. Commercial properties typically have higher property valuation than single family. Without discounting the rezoning, actual use of the property also plays a factor in the property's value. 9. The Proposed Change Will Be a Deterrent to the Improvement or Developed of Adjacent Property in Accord with Existing Regulations. There are three (3) properties including the applicant's that are zoned RSF but have a -3- Staff Report Petition No. 99-002-R AV Commercial land use designation. By rezoning the Property to Commercial, this would provide consistency with the Future Land Use Map and comply with existing regulations. 10. The Proposed Change Will Constitute a Grant of Special Privilege to an Individual Owner as Contrasted with the Public Welfare. The proposed change will not convey a special privilege to the applicant. In fact, the rezoning would bring the property into compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map. 11. There Are Substantial Reasons Why the Property Cannot Be Used in Accord with Existing Zoning. Without the rezoning, the property can only be used for single family residential purposes. Since the underlying land use is commercial, using the property for residential purposes would essentially mean the property is nonconforming. This puts the property owner in a rather peculiar position. 12. Whether the Change Suggested Is Out of Scale with the Needs of the Neighborhood or the City. The requested change is not out of scale with the needs of the City. Good planning principles recommend that adequate commercial use be provided to off -set the costs of residential development, thus making a viable economic base. Consistency with The subject property is designated Commercial on the Comprehensive Plan: adopted City of Okeechobee Future Land Use Map. As such, the proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. -4- Staff Report Petition No. 99-002-R sr Assessment and Conclusions: Based upon the above zoning criteria being met, the rezoning request should be recommended as it is consistent with the existing Comprehensive Plan.
