Chairperson Ledferd called for the vote and it was voted upon. While Chairperson Ledferd was
announcing that the motion passed, Board Member Maxwell interjected that he wanted to discuss about
his position at the last meeting due to his late arrival. It was his understanding that Board Member
O'Connor had replaced him in the voting. However, the minutes reflect him as voting yea on the motions.

III. MINUTES CONTINUED.
A.
Motion to dispense with the reading and approve the Summary of Planning
Board/Board of Adjustment Action for the October 19, 2006 regular
meeting continued.
Discussion ensued as to whether Mr. O'Connor had moved from the voting position. Mr. O'Connor
stated that he remembered announcing that he would be moving from the voting position due to Board
Member Maxwell's arrival at 6:07 p.m. Board Member Maxwell's recollection was that he participated
in the discussion, but remained silent during the vote. Board Member McCoy replied that a silent vote
is the same as a yea vote, unless you explain why you are not voting, you are considered a vote.
Chairperson Ledferd asked whether he had called another member up to a voting position? Secretary
Clement answered that he had called both the alternates up to a voting position, but when Board Member
Maxwell came in, she interrupted the current discussion and brought to his attention that both alternates
were voting positions. At that time Mr. O'Connor said he was stepping down. Board Member Mccoy
concurred. Secretary Clement continued that she took that to mean that Board Member Maxwell was in
his regular position. Board Member Maxwell replied that he did not recall hearing Alternate O'Connor
step down and perceived his position as free to participate, but not vote. Chairperson Ledferd stated he
remembered re-announcing Board Member Maxwell back to his seat and put Mr. O'Connor back as an
alternate, so from the time Board Member Maxwell arrived he was in a voting position.
Board Member McCoy asked Board Member Maxwell whether he would like to change his vote on
Petition No. 06-012-SSA and Petition No. 06-01O-R from a yea vote to a nay vote? Board Member
Maxwell said that to the extent of the reflection of a yea vote, it is not accurate, my motion is that it be
changed to reflect a nay vote. Mr. LaRue noted a silent vote is a yea vote, and should you not vote you
have to give a reason why you are not voting, you also have to fill out a form. Board Member McCoy
added that the minutes reflect his voting position. Chairperson Ledferd said that it is not a big deal, he
just wants to change his yea vote to a nay vote. In the future, once an alternate is moved to voting
position, they will remain in the voting position for the duration of the meeting. Board Member Maxwell
remarked that is what he assumed would happen, considering you miss part of the discussion.
Board member Hoover asked whether that was allowed to change a vote? Alternate O'Connor replied
that parliamentary procedure should be checked with Roberts Rule of Order to see whether that is
permissible, agreed by Board Member Hoover. Chairperson Ledferd also asked Secretary Clement to
check with Attorney Cook on the procedure. Board Member Maxwell still maintains that he did not vote,
therefore the minutes should reflect his non-voting. Board Member McCoy said that due to the way we
vote, by not showing hands only by voice, and there were no nay votes then the assumption is that the
vote is yea.

V. OPEN PUBLIC HEARING - Chairperson.
Chairperson Ledferd asked that the secretary bring the subject up to Clerk Gamiotea. Board Member
McCoy asked Chairperson Ledferd to table the acceptance of the minutes until the next regular Planning
Board/Board of Adjustment and Appeals meeting on January 18, 2007. Chairperson Ledferd said we can
do that. Board Member Hoover asked whether she should withdraw her motion to approve the minutes?
Board Member Maxwell stated that he did not think you could impute an outcome, I am just simply
saying that the minutes do not reflect that I made that vote and he did not agree that a silent vote is a yea
vote. Board Member McCoy reiterated that you have to state a reason for not voting, it is required. Board
Member Maxwell replied that it would be prudent at the time to state a reason, other than he thought he
was in an alternate position and the alternates do not state a reason for not voting. Board Member
Burroughs asked what the problem is with tabling the motion. Chairperson Ledferd asked for a motion
to table for research and definition.
(Note for clarification: The following motion is illegal and cannot be applied since the Chair had
previously called that the motion to approve the October 19, 2006 minutes was approved prior to the
discussion. A motion to rescind the previous action, a vote taken and then a motion to postpone would
have been the legal action to take). Board Member Hoover made a motion to table thc approval of the
Summary of Board Action for the October 19, 2006 regular meeting to the next regular Planing
Board/Board of Adjustment and Appeals on January 18, 2007; seconded by Board Member McCoy.

Mr. LaRue reviewcd the Comprehensive Plan Analysis as follows: 1. The proposed use is not contrary
to Comprehensive Plan rcquirement: The applicant has stated that he has not decided on a specific use
for the property at this time. He has requested this rczoning to accommodate possible commercial uses
that could be proposed by potential users of the land in the future. While the Land Development Code
allows several uses under the CHV Zoning District as permitted uses, the applicant will need to specify
what type of use(s) is intended on the property. This can be done at the site plan review phase of
development as the property is now vacant. Some of the permitted uses in the CHV Zoning Dis~rict are
summarized; ProfessionallBusinesslMedical Office, Retail Service/Store, Restaurant, Personal Service,
Funeral home, Hotel/Motel, Nightclub. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized
under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. As stated above, the applicant has not
specified which use will occupy the property. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the
public interest The proposed CHV Zoning will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. This
Zoning District is shared by properties to the North, East and South. 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. The CHV Zoning would be appropriate for this location and will
complement the adjacent land uses as has been stated above. 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. Allowing CHV uses on the subject property will not affect property values or living
conditions. In addition, it will encourage development on the surrounding vacant properties.

V. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED.
I
A.
Consider Rezoning Application No. 06-014-R, continued.
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. Buffering may be required depending on the type of use to be
allowed on the parcels. This will be addressed during the site plan review phase of development. 7. The
proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools,
streets, and utility services. Density will not be an issue as the site is planned for commercial uses.
Traffic impacts will be assessed during the site plan review phase of development. 8. The proposed use
will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. It is
most likely that development of the subject property will impact traffic circulation in the area, but as
stated earlier, those impacts will be assessed prior to development. Traffic improvements will be
provided by the applicant, should it be warranted, at the Site Plan review stage. Likewise, flooding and
drainage plans will be reviewed by City staff when appropriate, but it does not appear to be an issue at
this time. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. The only
restrictions being placed on the subject property are those which are set forth in the City's 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. By allowing the requested CHV
Zoning on the subject property it cannot be construed as granting a special privilege to the owner as
contrasted with the public welfare. Allowing this request will further the City's goal of eliminating
inconsistent land uses within its municipal boundaries.
I
Staff recommends approval of the request to allow rezoning from RSF-l to CHV permitting the applicant
to develop the property with commercial uses.
I
Chairperson Ledferd opened the foor for discussion between the Board and any public comments. Board
Member Burroughs inquired as to the process that the Staff goes through to determine the use of property.
Mr. LaRue stated that he looks at the surrounding property to help staff determine the use of the property.
Board Member Burroughs also asked whether the buildings will remain on the property. Mr. LaRue
stated that all the building will be razed. Board Member McCoy asked whether the mobile home on the
property is appropriate? Mr. Goodbread answered that the area used to be an old mobile home park. All
occupants have six. months to vacate the property according to Mr. Goodbread. Board Member Burroughs
inquired as to the possible occupants for this property. Mr. Goodbread said that they are trying to get
something like TGI Friday or a Red Lobster and possibly one other business to share the parking lot.

Board Member O'Connor asked whether anyone talked to the people around the area for their opinion?
No, but notices are sent out to surrounding property owners within 300 feet of the property to notify them
of the rezoning. Mr. Sizemore spoke regarding the possible noise element of the development. He said
when there was a nightclub operating on the premises, that it was quite loud from 10:00 p.m. until 2:00
a.m., and that many complaints had been made, but nothing was done. He just wants the residential
homes in the area to be protected from possible future noise created from potential businesses. Board
Member Maxwell asked whether a lighter commercial zoning could be used? Mr. LaRue said the
applicant requested Heavy Commercial Zoning (CHV). A lesser commercial zoning would limit the use
choices.
Board Member Burroughs moved to recommend petition No. 06-014- R to City Council to rezone property
located at 2100 South Parrott Avenue within the 2000 Block of Southwest Second Avenue, from
Residential Single Family-One (RSF-I) to Heavy Commercial (CHV); seconded by Board Member Johns.

CHAIRPERSON LEDFERD CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:36 P.M.
Resolution No. 06-10 pertaining to the Billboard Policy was deferred until the regular January 18,2007
meeting by City Attorney Cook.
Ordinance No. 966 amendment to the City of Okeechobee Land Development Code creating the City of
Okeechobee Proportionate Fair Share Transportation Ordinance was presented by Mr. LaRue. He began
by explaining that reading the ordinance would probably put you to sleep in quick order. Best example
of the ordinance, some jurisdictions Future Land Use cannot continue to develop because they do not have
concurrency done. It is mandated by the state that by December 2006 this ordinance has to be in place.
The ordinance is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
VI. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED.

B.
Ordinance No. 966, continued.
Chairperson Ledferd asked whether this will require another Board for the City? Mr. LaRue answered
that it would not. The hardest part will be figuring out what proportion somebody really owes when you
really get into some of these things. Technical assistance will come from Central Florida Planning
Council, and State Department of Transportation. We have not been very sophisticated ourselves in terms
of showing what somebody owes for some of these things, but as more and more Future Land Use
applications come before the Board, I will not be saying concurrency as much as I will say making sure
the levels of service are not degraded. Chairperson Ledferd stated that he just recently went to the
Transportation meeting in Sebring for this specific purpose. Board Member Hoover stated that she
thought we had this covered in the Land Development Codes, because she has used the information.
Board Member Maxwell said that the ordinance' was more detailed than the State Statue. Mr. LaRue
stated that we had a model ordinance from the League of Cities and that he also looked at some of the
other City's that had adopted the statute. It gets a little bit more complicated in the sense that you need
tomake sure you include things that the State says you need to have in the ordinance. You are right, it
is more detailed. Board Member Maxwell asked. in the adoption of this ordinance will it impose the fair
share rcquirements or do we also necd something else? It is all you need, replicd Mr. LaRue. Should
we havc any questions about the factual impacts. we can call the Regional Planning Councilor the State
Department of Transportation.
Board Member McCoy asked what is the implementation deadline as far as the Board is concerned? Mr.
LaRue replied that the Board is done. No, answered Board Member McCoy, I am asking for the resident
that drops something off December 31, 2006 versus January 2, 2007 . We are covered and not in violation
of the law, so should anyone come and say we were holding them up from future development, we have
the ordinance in place that says that we can require them to do their proportionate share, and we can
analyze under the same criteria we use for development review or rezoning. Board Member McCoy
asked whether this went into immediate effect? Mr. LaRue answered yes. Board Member Maxwell asked
whether this only applied to infrastructure? Mr. LaRue answered yes. Board Member Maxwell stated
he understands that the school district also has an interest in a contribution for education. Will that
compliment this ordinance? Mr. LaRue said it would compliment the school as well. A year from now
we will have to have a school concurrency element, stated Mr. LaRue, and actually even now we would
require the developers to get a letter saying how the schools are impacted.
Chairperson Ledferd asked whether there were any comments from the public. There was none.

1. Consider Rezoning Application No. 06-014-R. Geroge A. Goodbread/G-4 Land & Cattle Company
are the property owners. The application is to change the zoning designation from Residential Single
Family-One (RSF-l) to Heavy Commercial (CHV) for property located at 2100 South Parrott Avenue
within the 2000 Block of Southwest Second A venue. Legal description: Lot 10, Block 46, First
Addition to South Okeechobee, being a subdivision in Sections 21 and 28, Township 37 of Range 35
East, according to plat thereof recorded in Plat Book 1, page 17, Okeechobee, County, Florida, public

STAFF REPORT:
The applicant has stated that he has not decided on a specific use for the property at this time. He has requested
this rezoning to accommodate possible commercial uses that could be proposed by potential users of the land in
the future. While the Land Development Code allows several uses under the CHV Zoning District as permitted
uses, the applicant will need to specify what type of use(s) is intended on the property. This can be done at the
site plan review phase of development as the property is now vacant. Some of the permitted uses in the CHV
Zoning District are summarized below:
A. Professionallbusiness/medical office
B. Retail service/store
C. Restaurant
D. Personal service
E. Funeral home
F. Hotel/motel
G. Nightclub
2. The proposed use being applied for is speci.fically authorized under the zoning district in the Land
Development Regulations.
As stated above, the applicant has not specified which use will occupy the property.
3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.
The proposed CHV Zoning will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. This Zoning District
is shared by properties to the North, East and South.
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.
The CHV Zoning District would be appropriate for this location and will complement the adjacent land
uses as has been stated above.
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.
Allowing CHV uses on the subject property will not affect property values or living conditions. In
addition, it will encourage development on the surrounding vacant properties.
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.
Buffering may be required depending on the type of use to be allowed on the parcels. This will be
addressed during the site plan review phase of development.
PAGE -3-
7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as
schools, streets, and utility services.
Density will not be an issue as the site is planned for commercial uses. Traffic impacts will be assessed
during the site plan review phase of development.
8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect
public safety.
It is most likely that development of the subject property will impact traffic circulation in the area, but
as stated earlier, those impacts will be assessed prior to development. Traffic improvements will be
provided by the applicant, if warranted, at the Site Plan review stage. Likewise, flooding and drainage
plans will be reviewed by City staff when appropriate, but it does not appear to be an issue at this time.
9. The proposed use has not been inordinately hurdened by unnecessary restrictions.
The only restrictions being placed on the subject property are those which are set forth in the City's
Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Code.
10. The proposed change will not constitute a grant (~fspecial privilege to an individual owner as contrasted
with the public welfare.
By allowing the requested CHV Zoning on the subject property, it cannot be construed as granting a
special privilege to the owner as contrasted with the public welfare. Allowing this request will further
the City's goal of eliminating inconsistent land uses within its municipal boundaries.
Staff recommends approval of the request to allow rezoning from RSF-l to CHV permitting the applicant to
develop the property with commercial uses.

Rezoning Request
Applicant: Brad Goodbread
Petition No. 06-014-R
Request:
The applicant is requesting a rezoning for the above property from RSF-1 to CHV. The subject
property is designated Commercial on the Future Land Use Map
Adjacent Future Land Use Map Classifications and Zoning Districts:
Zoning District:

Zoning District:

West: Future Land Use Map Classification:
Zoning District:
Existing Land Use:

RSF- ]
Residential
Summary:
The subject property is located in the southwest quadrant of the City on SW 2nd A venue. The
subject property has a Future Land Use Map designation of Commercial and the applicant would
like to rezone the property from RSF-1 to CRV. If allowed, this would rezoning will eliminate
inconsistencies between the Zoning Map and the Future Land Use Map.
Analysis
1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements.
The applicant has stated that he has not decided on a specific use for the property at
this time. He has requested this rezoning to accommodate possible commercial uses
that could be proposed by potential users of the land in the future. While the Land
Development Code allows several uses under the CHV Zoning District as permitted
uses, the applicant will need to specify what type of use(s) is intended on the
property. This can be done at the site plan review phase of development as the
property is now vacant. Some of the permitted uses in the CHV Zoning District are
summarized below:

o Professionallbusiness/medical office
o Retail service/store
o Restaurant
o Personal service
o Funeral home
o Hotel/motel
o Nightclub
2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district
in the Land Development Regulations.
As stated above, the applicant has not specified which use will occupy the property.
3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.
The proposed CHV Zoning will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.
This Zoning District is shared by properties to the North, East and South.
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.
The CHV Zoning District would be appropriate for this location and will complement
the adjacent land uses as has been stated above.
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.
Allowing CHV uses on the subject property will not affect property values or living
conditions. In addition, it will encourage development on the surrounding vacant
properties.
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.
Buffering may be required depending on the type of use to be allowed on the parcels.
This will be addressed during the site plan review phase of development.

Petition No. 06-014-R
7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public
facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services.
Density will not be an issue as the site is planned for commercial uses. Traffic
impacts will be assessed during the site plan review phase of development.
8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems,
or otherwise affect public safety.
It is most likely that development of the subject property will impact traffic
circulation in the area, but as stated earlier, those impacts will be assessed prior to
development. Traffic improvements will be provided by the applicant, if warranted, at
the Site Plan review stage. Likewise, flooding and drainage plans will be reviewed by
City staff when appropriate, but it does not appear to be an issue at this time.
9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions.
The only restrictions being placed on the subject property are those which are set
forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Code.
10. The proposed change will not constitute a Rrant of special privilege to an individual
owner us contrasted with the public we/fillY
By allowing the requested CHV Zoning on the subject property, it cannot be
construed as granting a special privilege to the owner as contrasted with the public
welfare. Allowing this request will further the City's goal of eliminating inconsistent
land uses within its municipal boundaries.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the request to allow rezoning from RSF-l to CHV permitting the
applicant to develop the property with commercial uses.

163.3180 Concurrency.--
(16) It is the intent of the Legislature to provide a method by which the Impacts of
development on transportation facilities can be mitigated by the cooperative efforts of
the public and private sectors. The methodology used to calculate proportionate falr-
share mitigation under this section shall be as provided for in subsection (12).
(a) By December 1, 2006, each local government shall adopt by ordinance a
methodology for assessing proportionate fair-share mitigation options. By December 1,
2005, the Department of Transportation shall develop a model transportation
concurrency management ordinance with methodologies for assessing proportionate .
fair-share mitigation options.
(b)1. In its transportation concurrency management system, a local government shall,
by December 1, 2006, Include methodologies that will be applied to calculate
proportionate fair-share mitigation. A developer may choose to satisfy all transportation
concurrency requirements by contributing or paying proportionate fair-share mitigation If
transportation facilities or facility segments identified as mitigation for traffic impacts are
specifically identified for funding in the 5-year schedule of capital improvements in the
capital Improvements element of the local plan or the long-term concurrency
management system or if such contributions or payments to such facilities or segments
are reflected in the 5-year schedule of capital improvements in the next regularly
scheduled update of the capital improvements element. Updates to the 5-year capital
improvements element which reflect proportionate fair-share contributions may not be
found not in compliance based on ss. 163.3164(32) and 163.3177(3) if additional
contributions, payments or funding sources are reasonably anticipated during a period
not to exceed 10 years to fully mitigate Impacts on the transportation facilities.
2. Proportionate fair-share mitigation shall be applied as a credit against impact fees to
the extent that all or a portion of the proportionate fair-share mitigation is used to
address the same capital infrastructure Improvements contemplated by the local
government's impact fee ordinance.
(c) Proportionate fair-share mitigation Includes, without limitation, separately or
collectively, private funds, contributions of land, and construction and contribution of
facilities and may include public funds as determined by the local government. The fair
market value of the proportionate fair-share mitigation shall not differ based on the form
of mitigation. A local government may not require a development to pay more than its
proportionate fair-share contribution regardless of the method of mitigation.
(d) Nothing in this subsection shall require a local government to approve a
development that is not otherwise qualified for approval pursuant to the applicable local
comprehensive plan and land development regulations.
(e) Mitigation for development impacts to facilities on the Strategic lntermodal System
made pursuant to this subsection requires the concurrence of the Department of
Transportation.
.......
.
..
(f) In the event the funds in an adopted 5-year capital Improvements element are
insufficient to fully fund construction of a transportation improvement required by the
local government's concurrency management system, a local government and a
developer may still enter Into a binding proportionate-share agreement authorizing the
developer to construct that amount of development on which the proportionate share is
calculated if the proportionate-share amount in such agreement is sufficient to pay for
one or more Improvements which will, In the opinion of the governmental entity or
entities maintaining the transportation facilities, significantly benefit the impacted
transportation system. The improvement or Improvements funded by the proportionate-
share component must be adopted Into the 5-year capital Improvements schedule of the
comprehensive plan at the next annual capital improvements element update.
,
(g) Except as provided In subparagraph (b)1., nothing in this section shall prohibit the
Department of Community Affairs from finding other portions of the capital
Improvements element amendments not in compliance as provided in this chapter.
(h) The provisions of this subsection do not apply to a multiuse development of regional
Impact satisfying the requirements of subsection (12).

share agreement with the developer authorizing construction of that amount
of development on which the proportionate fair share amount is calculated
if the proportionate fair share amount in such agreement is sufficient to pay

governmental entity for all other roads.
Section 78-206. Application process.
A. A developer who shall commence any land development activity generating traffic
which results in a failure of a road segment to achieve transportation concurrency
may apply to the City for a proportionate fair share agreement.
B. Prior to submitting an application for a proportionate fair share agreement, a pre-
application meeting shall be held to discuss eligibility, application submittal
requirements, potential mitigation options and other relevant issues. If the road
segment that has failed to achieve transportation concurrency is on the Strategic
Intermodal System, the Florida Department of Transportation shall be requested to
participate in the pre-application meeting.
C. Procedures for review of application for proportionate fair share agreement.
1. The developer shall submit an application to the City Administrator or
designee that includes a non-refundable application fee of $5,000.00 and the
following:
a) Name, address and contact information of the developer;
b) A drawing and legal description of the land;

f) Traffic study performed by a licensed traffic engineer demonstrating
failure of road segment to achieve transportation concurrency.
2. Within twenty (20) days of receipt of the application, the City Administrator
or designee shall review the application to determine if the application is
complete. If it is determined that the application is not complete, the City
Administrator or designee shall send a written statement to the developer

developer within thirty (30) days of receipt of the written notification, then the
application shall be deemed abandoned. The City Administrator or designee,

Section 78-207. Determination of proportionate fair share obligation.
A. Proportionate fair share mitigation includes without limitation, separately or
collectively, private funds, contributions of land and contribution of transportation
facilities.
B. The methodology used to calculate a developer's proportionate fair share obligation
shall be as provided for pursuant to Florida Statutes 9163.3180(12), and as
represented by the following formula:
Where:
Development Trips = Those trips from the development that are assigned to
roadway segment.
SV Increase = Service Volume increase provided by the improvement to roadway
segment.
Cost =Adjusted cost of the improvement.
C. For the purposes of determining proportionate fair share obligations, improvement
costs shall be based upon the actual cost of the improvement as obtained from the
CIP, the Okeechobee County MPO Transportation Improvement Program, or the
Florida Department of Transportation Work Program. Where such information is not
available, the improvement cost shall be determined using one of the following
methods:
1. An analysis by the City Administrator or designee of costs, adjusted by the
Florida Department of Transportation Price Trends Index from the previous
year, by cross section type that incorporates date from recent projects; or,
2. The most recent issue of Florida Department of Transportation
"Transportation Costs", as adjusted based upon the type of cross section
(urban or rural); locally available data from recent projects on acquisition,
drainage, and utility costs; and significant changes in the cost of materials
due to unforeseeable events.
D. If the City has accepted an improvement project proposed by the developer, then
the value of the improvement shall be determined using one of the methods
provided in this Section.
E. If the City has accepted right-of-way dedication for the proportionate fair share
payment, credit for the dedication of the non-site related right-of-way shall be valued
on the date of the dedication at one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the most
recent assessed value by the Okeechobee County Property Appraiser or, at the
mutual agreement of the City and the developer, by fair market value established
by an independent appraisal approved by the City and at no expense to the City.
The developer shall supply a certificate of title or title search of the land to the City
at no expense to the City. If the estimated value of the right-of-way dedication
proposed by the developer is less than the City estimated total proportionate fair
share obligation for that development, then the developer must also pay the
difference.
Section 78-208. Transportation facilities impact fee credit.
A. Proportionate fair share mitigation shall be applied as a credit against impact fees.
Credits will be given for that portion of the impact fees that would have been used
to fund the improvements on which the proportionate fair share contribution is
calculated. Additionally, if the proportionate fair share contribution is based on only
a portion of the development's traffic, the credit will be limited to that portion of the
impact fees on which the proport,ionate fair share contribution is based.
B. At the time the proportionate fair share obligation is being determined, the City will
also compute the transportation facilities impact fee obligation for the proposed
development. If the developer's proportionate fair share obligation is less than the
Page 5 of 7
development's anticipated total transportation facilities impact fee, then the
developer must pay the difference to the City.
Section 78-209. Proportionate fair share agreements.
A.
B.
C.
Should the developer fail to apply for a building permit within one (1) year of the
date of execution of the proportionate fair share agreement, then the agreement
shall be considered null and void, and the developer shall be required to reapply in
accordance with the provisions of this subchapter.
Payment of the proportionate fair share contribution is due in full prior to issuance
of the final development order or recording of the final plat and shall be
nonrefundable. If the payment is submitted more than one (1) year from the date
of execution of the agreement, then the proportionate fair share cost shall be
recalculated at the time of payment based on the best estimate of the construction
cost of the required improvement at the time of payment, pursuant to Determination
of Proportionate Fair Share Obligation, and adjusted accordingly.
Developer improvements authorized under this subchapter involving dedications to
the City must be completed upon final acceptance of the improvements on receipt
of a warranty bond. The form of the warranty bond shall be approved by the City
Attorney.
D.
Developer improvements authorized under this subchapter not involving dedications
to City must be completed upon recording of a final plat or upon issuance of a
certificate of occupancy, whichever event first occurs.
E. ii
i
F 1
" .
Any requested change to a development project subsequent to a development order
will be subject to additional proportionate fair share contributions to the extent the
change would generate additional traffic.
A developer may submit a letter to withdraw from the proportionate fair share
agreement at any time prior to the execution of the agreement. The application fee
to the City will be nonrefundable.
Section 78-210. Appropriation of fair share revenues.
A. All proportionate fair share revenues shall be placed in the appropriate project
account for funding of scheduled improvements in the CIP, or for use as otherwise
established in the terms of the proportionate full share agreement.
B. In the event a scheduled transportation facility improvement is removed from the
CIP, then the revenues collected for its construction shall be applied toward the
construction of another improvement within the same corridor that would mitigate
the impacts of development, as determined by the City Council.
SECTION TWO: CONFLICTS.
Whenever the requirements or provisions of this amending ordinance are in conflict with
the requirements or provisions of any other lawfully adopted ordinance or statute, the most
restrictive requirements shall apply.
SECTION THREE: SEVERABILITY.
If any part, section, subsection, or other portion of this Ordinance or any application thereof
to any person or circumstance is declared void, unconstitutional or invalid for any reasons,
such part, section, subsection, or other portion or the prescribed application thereof, shall
be severable, and the remaining provisions of this Ordinance, and all applications thereof
not having been declared void, unconstitutional or invalid, shall remain in full force and
effect. The City declares that no invalid or prescribed provision or application was an
inducement to the enactment of this Ordinance, and that it would have enacted this
Ordinance regardless of the invalid or prescribed provision or application.
