CHANGE IN LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
(Sec. 70-340, LDR page CD70:16 as modified for a text amendment)
It is the Applicant's responsibility to convince the Planning Board/LPA and City Council that approval of the
proposed request 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 the proposed change
and its likely effects:
1. Are not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements.
2. Are compatible with the intent of the LDRs and specifically the intent of the zoning district(s) affected.
3. Will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.
4. Are appropriate for the locations proposed and reasonably compatible with other land uses allowed in the zoning
districts affected, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns.
5. Will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of
other properties in the zoning district(s) affected or nearby thereto.
6. Can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the
neighborhood.
7. Will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services.
8. Will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety.
9. Will not inordinately burden properties in the affected zoning districts by unnecessary restrictions.
Your responses to these findings should be as descriptive as possible. Attach additional pages as may be
necessary to adequately make your case. The City will, in the Staff Report, address the request and evaluate
it and the Applicant's submission in light of the above criteria and offer a recommendation for approval or
denial.

Staff Report
To: Okeechobee Planning Board
From: Ben Smith, AICP
Meeting Date: December 19, 2019
Subject: Ordinances to Revise the Land Development Code- Restaurant Parking,
Auto Service Stations, Single Family Dwelling Minimum Unit Size, and
Reorganization of Housing Standards
Restaurant Parking
City Code Section 90-512 requires that parking be provided for restaurants, nightclubs, and bars at 1
parking space per 75 square feet of floor area. Historically, use of the term 'floor area' in this
requirement has sometimes been interpreted to mean all inside and outside customer service areas.
However, the term 'floor area' typically refers to the amount of floor area within a building. Staff is
reviewing this parking standard to determine whether additional clarification is necessary and because
it may not provide a sufficient basis for determining the amount of parking needed for some types of
restaurants, including:
• Restaurants which primarily provide take-out services
• Restaurants relying on a significant amount of outdoor seating to serve customers
• Drive-in restaurants
At the October Planning Board meeting, the Board held a workshop and agreed to move forward with
a land development code revision to section 90-512 which bases the restaurant parking standard on
customer service area instead of floor area. The effect of this change is that, regardless what other uses
exist, and regardless where the customer service area is located, the restaurant customer service area
is considered in the calculation. Additionally, it was agreed that a minimum number of 3 parking spaces
should be provided for any restaurant. These changes are depicted in the attached ordinance.

Auto Service Stations
The City's land development code contains a definition for'auto service station' as well as supplemental
regulations for auto service stations; which are listed as permitted in the Heavy Commercial (CHV)
District, Central Business (CBD) District, Industrial (IND) District and the Mixed -Use Planned Unit
Development (PUD -M) District.
Section 66-1 provides a definition as follows:
Auto service stotion means an establishment used for sale of motor fuel, oil, motor vehicle
accessories, and as an accessory use convenience goods to gasoline customers, and which may
include facilities for lubricating, washing, servicing and minor repairs to vehicles, but not including
painting and body repairs.
Any facility which sells gas and convenience goods meets this definition of 'auto service station' and
therefore should meet the requirements of Section 90-692, all of which are more restrictive than those
of the CHV and CBD district, and most of which are more restrictive than the IND district. While it may
be appropriate to require a larger lot area, less lot coverage and greater setbacks from residential, it
may not be necessary to require greater setbacks for underground fuel tanks or greater standard
setbacks for all structures.
It is likely that the service station setbacks and regulations were intended to apply to service stations
with above ground fuel tanks. Now that most gas stations utilize underground fuel tanks, this additional
setback could be considered an onerous restriction. Based on staff review of site plans for gas stations,
it has been a difficult requirement to meet for some facilities. At their October meeting, the Planning
Board held a workshop and agreed to reduce the structure and underground fuel tank setback
requirements to match the CHV district setbacks, as depicted in the attached ordinance.

Single Family Dwelling Minimum Unit Size
Staff was directed to examine increasing the minimum size for single family dwellings. The City's
currents standard is located in Section 90-169(1) as follows:
Any single-family dwelling located in a RSF-1; RSF-2; RMF; or RMH, zoning district shall comply with the
following appearance and design standards.
Minimum floor area. The minimum floor area shall be 800 -square feet, including the area of an attached garage
(but excluding carport, screened porch or Florida room) except as provided in subsection (10) herein. To be
eligible for calculation as minimum floor area, such square footage shall be contained under a single integrated
roof system. A roof system designed by the manufacturer to be a single structure shall be considered an
integrated roof system under this subsection even if delivered in more than one part and assembled on site
At a previous workshop, the Planning Board agreed that increasing the single family dwelling minimum
unit size is appropriate, with specific standards adopted for each zoning district where single family
dwellings are a permitted use. This allows for the zoning districts with smaller lot sizes (i.e. RMH) to
continue to accommodate smaller dwelling unit sizes and to minimize the number of nonconformities
that would be created by this code revision.
The Board was also not satisfied with the City's current method of calculating minimum floor area,
pointing out that it is not common to include garage areas and that the language concerning "integrated
roof system" was also not standard. The Board directed staff to propose a revised minimum floor area
calculation that more closely aligns with the current zoning standards and is compatible with the Florida
Building Code.
Additionally, while reviewing the existing codes for this task, staff discovered several sections of code
that are not organized correctly. Article III of Chapter 90 is organized into 15 Divisions. Divisions 2
through 12 and 14 each provide regulations for one specific zoning district. Except that Division 4, which
provides the Residential Mobile Home (RMH) district regulations, also includes several sections of code
which seem to be intended to apply to multiple districts. The Board agreed that it is appropriate to
move these sections to Division 1 of Article III, where they will more clearly apply to other zoning
districts besides just the RMH district.
All of these proposed revisions are included in the attached ordinance.

In order to address concerns regarding the National Fire Protection Association requirements, the
ordinance has been modified from the first reading to include a reference to the NFPA regulations. As the
NFPA standards may be updated from time to time, the reference will ensure that whatever the latest NFPA
standards may be, future site plans will be required to adhere to the City regulations or the NFPA
regulations, whichever are more stringent.
