MOTION CARRIED.
III. New Business.
A.
Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 05-
009-SSA. Consider a recommendation to the City Council, to change the land
use designation from Single Family to Commerical. The subject property is
located at 408 NE 3rd Street. The property owners and applicants are Haynes and
Susan Williams - City Planning Consultant.
.
.
Jennifer Morgan, representative of LaRue Planning and Management, City Planning Consultant,
briefly described the Staff Report as follows:
Planning Staff Report Summary of Application: The subject property is developed with a 2-
story duplex that is currently being used as an office (downstairs) and a rental apartment (upstairs).
The applicant is not proposing to change the existing use only the FLU And Zoning.
Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) Consistency with the Land Use
Categories and Plan Policies. As proposed the applicant's request would be inconsistent with the
Commercial land use category and the Plan policies that control such uses. (B) Concurrency of
Adequate Public Facilities. The subject property is already developed and is included with the
City's service area. (C) Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses. The existing
neighborhood seems to reflect a low level of residential intensity with little commercial areas in
the neighborhood. Commercial uses would be inconsistent with the existing pattern of nearby land
uses. (D) Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan. There is no evidence presented to
show this property, in terms of compatibility, would be best served by changing it's Future Land
Use Classification to Commercial.
Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusion: The request to change the Future Land Use
classification for the subject property from Single-Family to Commercial should be denied based
on the above information. Whatever use that is present must be reviewed separately as to whether
it is there as a nonconforming use or allowed by other action.
There was a brief discussion between the Agency Members and Attorney Cook related to non-
conforming uses within Commercial zoning districts.
Chairperson Ledferd explained that the property surrounding that area is mostly commercial type
uses.
Attorney Cook explained that if the application is denied, only the residential use would be
permitted to continue. If the application is granted the commercial use could continue; then, if a
Special Exception is granted the residential use could also continue as long as all City requirements
are met.
IV. New Business.
A.
Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 05-
009-SSA, continued.
Agency Member Whidden questioned Attorney Cook whether it was customary to change the
zoning/land use of one lot in the middle of the block. Attorney Cook responded that it would be
considered spot zoning, however the trend in the area should also be considered.
Agency Member McCoy stated that the new developments in that area are more of a commercial
nature than residential homes being constructed.
.
Susan Williams, property owner, explained to that Agency that the property is currently being used
as a rental apartment upstairs and a temporary real estate office downstairs. She explained that
another one of their properties were destroyed by last years hurricanes. The tenant of that property,
Okeechobee Land Company, is currently occupying the downstairs as their office. Once their
original location is repaired they will be moving back. Mrs. Williams indicated that they are
proposing to sell the property. Mrs. Williams provided the Agency with a map of the area listing
the uses of the surrounding properties within that area. She explained that the map will show that
the area is primarily used for commercial businesses.
Attorney Cook explained that the new property owner must comply with all City Codes; including,
but not limited to, paved parking, landscaping, and drainage.
There was no public comments, nor any further discussion from the Agency.
.
Agency Member MCoy motioned to recommend to City Council to approve Comprehensive Plan,
Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 05-009-SSA to change the land use
designation from Single Family to Commercial; seconded by Agency Member Hoover.

Katrina Cook, Secretary
Attorney Cook explained the proposed amendment to Land Development Regulations to the
Agency. Mr. Cook referred to the letter that he prepared to for the Agency, as well as comments
suggested by City Planning Consultant, Jim LaRue. Attorney Cook explained that our regulations
are currently vague, and that the proposed changes are tailored to follow the standards required by
the Department of Environmental Protection. Mr. Cook explained to the Agency that the
wellheads are located on the property to the North of the Industrial Park, and that there are no
wellheads located within the park.
Agency Member McCoy motioned to recommend to the City Council to amend Section 82-61 of
the Land Development Code to comply with the information provided by Jim LaRue, City
Planning Consultant, and Attorney Cook; seconded by Agency Member Hoover.

008-SSA. Consider a recommendation to the City Council, to change the land
use designation from Commercial to Multi-Family. The subject property is Planning Staff Report Summary of Application: The subject property is currently classified as
located at 110 NE 12th Street. The application was submitted by Bradley G. Commercial on the Future Land Use Map. The Multi-Family category would allow apartments,
Goodbread on behalf of the property owner George A. Goodbread - City Planning duplexes, and condominiums at a maximum density of 10 units per acre.
Consultant.
Planning Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Analysis: (A) Consistency with the Land Use
Categories and Plan Policies. As proposed, the applicant's request would be consistent with the
Multi-Family Land Use category as intended in the Future Land Use Element of the City's
Comprehensive Plan. (B) Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities. Water is available to the
subject property. Impacts to traffic and schools will be minimal. Any other concerns regarding the
development can be reviewed at the Site Plan Review stage. (C) Compatibility with Adjacent and
Nearby Land Uses. The proposed land use will not create any adverse impacts to the surrounding
property as it will be compatible with the adjacent and nearby uses. (D) Compliance with Specific
Standards of the Plan. The City's Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies, as they are
intended, would allow for a Small Scale Amendment to the Future Land Use Map to Multi-Family.
This proposed change would be consistent with the uses allowed by the Multi-Family category.
Planning Staff Report Analysis and Conclusions: This application and its appearance before
the Council and the LP A was duly noticed for the public in accordance with the notice
requirements set forth in Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes.
Agency Member Burroughs noted for the record that the boundary survey indicated Northeast 12th
Avenue, and that it should state Northeast 12th Street. Jim LaRue agreed and explained to the
applicant that the error needed to be corrected.
There was no public comments, nor any further discussion from the Agency.
Agency Member Hoover motioned to recommend to City Council to approve Comprehensive Plan,
Future Land Use Map Amendment Application No. 05-008-SSA to change the land use
designation from Commercial to Multi-Family based on the recommendation by the City Planning
Consultant as it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; seconded by Agency Member

MOTION CARRIED.
John Cook, City Attorney, briefly described the request. Attorney Cook provided a copy of the
proposed ordinance for the Agency Members to review. He explained that the height restrictions
are currently forty-five (45) feet; then, if a developer is requesting to build higher than the forty-
five foot limit, they are required to get a special exception. Attorney Cook explained that he felt
that it was better to leave the height limit and the requirement for a special exception as is. This
will allow the Board of Adjustments to have more control to regulate the height of structures within
Industrial zoning on a case by case basis. He explained that there is some language changes within
the Ordinance that will need to go to City Council for adoption.
There was no public comments, nor any discussion from the Agency.
Agency Member Burroughs motioned to recommend to City Council to approve proposed
Ordinance No. 898, based on the recommendation from Attorney Cook; seconded by Agency
Member Hoover.

Presently, it is non-conforming Single Family RSF-l. The downstairs is occupied by a

Staff Report
Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
.
APPIi.: Haynes & Susan Williams
Petition No. 05-009-SSA
Summary:
The subject property is developed with a 2-story duplex that is currently being used
as an office (downstairs) and a rental apartment (upstairs). The applicant is not
proposing to change the existing use only the FLU And Zoning.
Comprehensive Plan Analysis
A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies.
As proposed the applicant's request would be inconsistent with the Commercial
land use category and the Plan policies that control such uses.
B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities
The subject property is already developed and is included with the City's service
area.
C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses
The existing neighborhood seems to reflect a low level of residential intensity
with little commercial areas in the neighborhood. Commercial uses would be
inconsistent with the existing pattern of nearby land uses.
D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan.
There is I!o evidence presented to show this property, in terms of compatibility,
would be best served by changing it's Future Land Use Classification to
Commercial.
Analysis and Conclusions
The request to change the Future Land Use classification for the subject property
from Single-Family to Commercial should be denied based on the above information.
Whatever use that is present must be reviewed separately as to whether it is there as a
nonconforming use or allowed by other action.

MEMO
zoning board
re: well field protection
You may recall that you recently permitted the amendment to the LDR's regarding the
definition of wellfield protection; the original defined an area 'l'2 mile from the wells as protected,
and it was amended to state the protected area is 1000 feet, with the closest 300 feet denying any
development whatsoever. The comprehensive plan still requires that the city evaluate and protect
development within 'l'2 mile of wells, but the 1000 foot area is the only area that the LDR's
mandate certain prohibitions.
It has come to light that section 82-61 of the LDR's contains some language that
jeopardizes commercial / industrial use within the 1000 foot area, meaning such language could
prevent the city from using a large area of the industrial park. Thus, we must consider amending
the language of existing LDR's. However, wellfield protection is part of the required
comprehensive plan elements we must adhere to with Department of Community Affairs (DCA),
so these protections must be addressed in both the comp plan and the LDR's in a manner
acceptable to DCA.
Therefore, I am requesting that this board recommend to the city the following language
in section 82-61 :
Sec. 82-61. Development in and adjacent to a designated wellhead.
(a) Development in and adjacent to a designated wellhead is regulated to protect water
supplies from potential contamination, and the wellfield protection area is defined as a radius
1000 feet from the wellhead.
(b) No development activities shall take place in the zone of exclusion, defined as a
radius 300 feet in diameter from the wellhead.
(c) The following land uses are prohibited within the wellfield protection area:
.
.
.
(1) Landfill
(2) Facilities for bulk storage or processing of fuel or chemicals, or use of
materials that would not be permitted by the State Department of Environmental Protection
(DEP) within 1000 feet of a wellhead.
(3) Activities that require the storage, use, or handling of chemicals, hazardous
toxic wastes, medical wastes, sludge, or materials that would not be permitted by the State
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) within 1000 feet ofa wellhead.
(d) Special restrictions on development allowed within the wellhead protection area are as
follows:
(1) Stormwater management practices shall not include drainage wells and
sinkholes for stormwater disposal where recharge is into potable water aquifers.
(2) Any development within the wellfield protection area shall comply with all
local, state and federal codes to require on-site containment of all substances, fuels, oils,
chemicals, wastes or materials that are permitted within such use by DEP as incidental to a
development's principal use, to prevent such substances from entering the groundwater supply.
(e) No wells for private use that extract groundwater below the surficial aquifer shall be
permitted.

Jennifer Morgan, representative of LaRue Planning and Management, City Planning Consultant,
briefly described the Staff Report as follows:
Planning Staff Report Summary: The subject property is in an area with residential uses. The
residential use for this property is compatible with the abutting properties; however, the real estate
office does not suit the neighborhood. The proposed zoning of CL T would be consistent with the
Commercial FLU designation if approved in a separate application. The proposed zoning, on the
other hand, is not consistent with the surrounding land uses.
Planning Staff Report Analysis: (A) The application is not consistent with the requirements of
the City's Comprehensive Plan. The applicant's request for a Small Scale Land Use Map
Amendment to allow a Commercial Land Use Category is inconsistent as it pertains to the intent
and use of the Commercial Land Use Category as described in the Comprehensive Plan. The
current Single-Family Future Land Use Category and the current RSF-l Zoning District are both
compatible with each other. (B) The current residential use is authorized under the current RSF-l
Zoning District. The commercial use is not. If this request is granted then the situation would be
the same but vice versa. Whereas the commercial use would be compatible with the CLT zoning,
but the residential use would not be compatible. (C) The proposed zoning to CLT could have an
adverse effect on the public interest. (D) The use is not appropriate for this location. The office
space stated as "temporary" on the application but is still not compatible with adjacent land uses
and would be detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. (E) The commercial use could adversel y
affect property values and be a deterrent to development to adjacent residential areas. (F) If
necessary, the proposed change can be suitably buffered from the surrounding uses. (G) The use
will not overburden public facilities. (H) The proposed change could increase traffic congestion
or otherwise affect public safety. (I) The only restrictions on this property are those set forth by the
Comprehensive Plan and The Land Development Code. (J) If granted, the change will constitute
a special privilege to the owner by allowing commercial uses in a residential neighborhood.
Planning Staff Report Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of the request to allow
rezoning from RSF-l to CLT based on the above data and analysis.
Ms. Morgan explained that since the Land Planning Agency recommended approval for the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment from Single Family to Commercial, the
Light Commercial (CLT) zoning district would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

Haynes Williams, property owner, requested to address the Board. He explained that approxi-
mately one year ago the Board approved a rezoning request for one of the properties located near
his property. He explained that the Planning Staff recommended approval on that rezoning petition
stating that there would be "no adverse affect". Mr. Williams continued by explaining that the
Planning Staff stated that the proposed rezoning "would have an adverse affect" on the surrounding
area. Mr. Williams explained that he counted thirty-seven (37) businesses and five (5) residences.
Mr. Williams thanked the Board for the favorable recommendation to the City Council.
B. Rezoning Petition No. 05-007-R. Consider a recommendation to the City Jennifer Morgan, representative of LaRue Planning and Management, City Planning Consultant,
Council to rezone Lots 21 and 22, Block 31, City of Okeechobee from Residen- briefly described the Staff Report as follows:
tial Single Family - One (RSF-l) to Residential Multiple Family (RMF). The
property owners and applicants are William and Catherine Fagan, represented by Planning Stafr Report Summary: Nt A
Nathan Pippin.
Planning Staff Report Analysis: (A) Residential multi-family use and RMF Zoning is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan policies and the Future Land Use Map designation of Multi-Family
for this property. (B) Multi-Family development is authorized under the RMF Zoning District.
(C) Multi-family dwellings will not adversely affect the public interest. (D) Multi-family use and

B.
Rezoning Petition No. 05-007-R, continued.
zoning are appropriate for this location. (E) The proposed use and zoning will not be a deterrent
to the development of adjacent property. (F) If necessary, site plan requirements can help to
reduce any impacts upon the neighborhood. (G) Currently the QUA has a I2-inch sewer force-
main along NE 3rd Avenue and along NE 11th Street from NE 3rd Avenue to HWY 441. Any
sewer connection would require a lift station. The lift station could be constructed to QUA
standards and QUA would own and operate the lift station after construction is complete. The
developer could construct a smaller lift station, but the lift station would be considered private and
must be maintained by the property owner. The QUA has a I8-inch water main within the alley-
way of Block 31. Any extensions to the east must be large enough to provide fire protection
through a fire hydrant. (H) Construction standards should solve any potential flooding or drainage
problems. (I) The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions.
(J) The subject property is surrounded on two sides by similarly zoned parcels. The proposed
change would not grant special privilege to the owner.
.
Planning Staff Report Summary and Conclusions Prior to Certifications: Depending on
water and sewer availability, the proposed multi-family development appears to be compatible.
Planning Staff Report Landscape Regulations: The proposed use would be required to meet the
landscaping and buffer requirements of Section 90-531,532, and 536 - 543.
.
Planning Staff Report Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request to allow
rezoning from CHV to RMF permitting the applicant to develop multi-family units.
There was no public comment, nor any discussion from the Board.
Board Member Hoover motioned to recommend to City Council to approve Rezoning Petition 05-

Lot 3 and the West 10 feet of Lot 2, Block 144,
City of Okeechobee
To Whom It May Concern:
We, the applicants, have owned the subject property since December 26, 2002. Located
on the subject property is a two-story duplex with a one-bedroomlone-bath apartment on
the ftrst floor and a two-bedroomlone-bath apartment on the second floor.
Presently, it is non-conforming Single Family RSF-l. In addition, the downstairs is
occupied by a real estate brokerage and the upstairs is rented out as a two-bedroomlone-
bath apartment. We, the applicants, have proposed to sell the duplex to Goolsby Realty
subject to getting the property rezoned from Residential Single Family (RSF -1) to Light
Commercial (CL T). As noted on the application, there are numerous businesses located
near the subject property.
The intended use of the subject property will be light commercial. The nature of the
activities will be consistent with that of a real estate brokerage. We do not anticipate any
future development of the subject property.
We are submitting this application to rezone the subject property from Single Family
Residential (RSF-l) to Light Commercial (CLT).

Existing Land Use:
Sin Ie-Family
RSF-1
Single-Family residence
Summary:
The subject property is in an area with residential uses. The residential use for this
property is compatible with the abutting properties; however, the real estate office
does not suit the neighborhood. The proposed zoning of CL T would be consistent
with the Commercial FLU designation if approved in a separate application. The
proposed zoning, on the other hand, is not consistent with the surrounding land uses.
Analysis
1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements.
The application is not consistent with the requirements of the City's Comprehensive
Plan. The applicant's request for a Small Scale Land Use Map Amendment to allow
a Commercial Land Use Category is inconsistent as it pertains to the intent and use of
the Commercial Land Use Category as described in the Comprehensive Plan. The
current Single-Family Future Land Use Category and the current RSF-1 Zoning
District are both compatible with each other.
2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning
district in the Land Development Regulations.
The current residential use is authorized under the current RSF -1 Zoning District.
The commercial use is not. If this request is granted then the situation would be
the same but vice versa. Whereas the commercial use would be compatible with
the CL T zoning, but the residential use would not be compatible.
3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.
Yes, the proposed zoning to CL T could have an adverse effect on the public interest.

Applicant: tfaynes and Susan Williams
Petition No.: 05-006-R
4. The 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.
No, the use is not appropriate for this location. The office space stated as
"temporary" on the application but is still not compatible with adjacent land uses and
would be 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.
If granted, the commercial use could adversely affect property values and be a
deterrent to development to adjacent residential areas.
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
If necessary, the proposed change can be suitably buffered from the surrounding uses.
7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public
facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services.
No, the use will not overburden public facilities.
8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems,
or otherwise affect public safety.
Yes, the proposed change could increase traffic congestion or otherwise affect public
safety.
9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions.
The only restrictions on this property are those set forth by the Comprehensive Plan
and The Land Development Code.
10. The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual
owner as contrasted with the public welfare.
If granted, the change will constitute a special privilege to the owner by allowing
commercial uses in a residential neighborhood.

Re: Multi Family Zoninl Request
Fagan! TBD NE 10 Street
To: City of Okeechobee
From: J. Nathan Pippin
Please let this letter serve as a request for rezoning to Multi Family.
The property in question is described as Lot 21 and 22, Block 31, Okeechobee and is
located on NE 10th Street just east of Highway 441 (Parrott A venue).
It is the intent of the property owner, William Fagan, to construct a multifamily structure
on the subject site. The size of the building will be directly related to the maximum
density allowed by the City of Okeechobee and any related agencies.
According to the Okeechobee Utility Authority, there is a waterline approximately 200'
feet to the west of the property and a sewer line approximately 200' to the east of the
property.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

APPlica&iIIiam and Catherine Fagan
Petition No. 05-007-R
Analysis
1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements.
Yes, residential multi-family use and RMF Zoning is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan policies and the Future Land Use Map designation of Multi-
Family for this property.
2. The proposed use being appliedfor is specifically authorized under the zoning district
in the Land Development Regulations.
Multi-Family development is authorized under the RMF Zoning District.
3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.
No, multi-family dwellings will not adversely affect the public interest.
4. The 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.
Yes, multi-family use and zoning are appropriate for this location.
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.
No, the proposed use and zoning will not be a deterrent to the development of
adjacent property.
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
If necessary, site plan requirements can help to reduce any impacts upon the
neighborhood.
7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public
facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services.
Currently the OUA has a 12-inch sewer force-main along NE 3rd Avenue and along
NE 11 th Street from NE 3rd Avenue to HWY 441. Any sewer connection would
require a lift station. The lift station could be constructed to OUA standards and
OVA would own and operate the lift station after construction is complete. The
developer could construct a smaller lift station, but the lift station would be
considered private and must be maintained by the property owner.
The OUA has a 18-inch water main within the alley-way of Block 31. Any

extensions to the east must be large enough to provide fire protection through a fire
hydrant.
8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems,
or otherwise affect public safety.
Construction standards should solve any potential flooding or drainage problems.
9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions.
No, the proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions.
10. The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual
owner as contrasted with the public welfare.
The subject property is surrounded on two sides by similarly zoned parcels. The
proposed change would not grant special privilege to the owner.
Summary and Conclusions Prior to Certification
Depending on water and sewer availability, the proposed multi-family development
appears to be compatible.
Landscape Regulations
The proposed use would be required to meet the landscaping and buffer requirements
of Section 90-531,532, and 536 - 543.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the request to allow rezoning from CHV to RMF
permitting the applicant to develop multi-family units.
