New Business Item C was deferred until the February 15,2007 meeting.
CHAIRPERSON LEDFERD OPENED THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:08 P.M. Due to the
high number in attendance at the meeting, the Special Exception Petition was moved to the
beginning of the meeting, as the majority in attendance were present for this item. Those who were
not in attendance for this item were asked to temporarily move into the Administrator's office since
the meeting room was over the maximum allowed capacity set by the Fire Department. Additional
citizens also viewed the public hearing downstairs through the television monitor.
Consider Special Exception Petition No. 07-00 1-SE to allow an adult entertainment establishment
within an Industrial (IND) Zoning District (ref. LDR's Sec. 90-343(10)) submitted by Steven Game
on behalf of property owner Charles Farmer. The subject property is located at 508 Northeast 9th
Street. Legal description: Lots 1 through 3 and the North 40 feet of Lots 4 through 6, and alley
between said Lots of Block 51, City of Okeechobee, Plat Book 5, Page 5, Public Records,
Okeechobee County, Florida.
Mr. Bill Brisson, Senior Planner with LaRue Planning and Management, City Planning Consultant
presented the Planning Staff Report. This was Mr. Brisson's first meeting with the City, he briefly
gave his back ground, he has 35 years of experience working all over Florida as a planner. He has
testified in court as an expert witness on 17 zoning, land use and eminent domain cases, and wrote
the district requirement for the City of Sarasota regarding adult entertainment. After extensive
Planning Staff discussion regarding Code Book Section 90-343(1O)b.5., Staff has revised the
comments and recommendations from original Planning Staff Report. The initial Staff Report
recommended approval if the proximity of land in a future land use category does not violate the
distance requirements. If approved, the adult entertainment special exception must fully meet all
the requirements of Ordinance No.743 and assure that no alcoholic beverages, beer or wine will be
served, or consumed on the premises, hours of operation are not during school hours, and the
establishment is in full compliance with City rules regarding parking, landscape, and building code
safety requirements. Further, the following conditions are also recommended, at least one off-duty
law enforcement officer employed by the adult entertainment facility be present during hours of
operation to ensure that Ordinance 743 is fully complied with, and patrons andlor customers are
prohibited from congregating outside the building.

v. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED.
A.
Consider a Special Exception No. 07-00 1-SE continued.
Mr. Brisson distributed copies of the revised Planning Staff comments and recommendation. Th
revision states: Section 90-343(10)b.5 of the Land Development Regulations (LDR) prohibits an
adult entertainment establishment within 500 feet of an area zoned for residential uses. Staff is of
the opinion that property zoned Holding (H) qualities as an area zoned for residential uses.
Specifically, the H District, as described in the earlier zoning district under which these lands were
zoned, allows single-family dwellings as a permitted principal structure. Therefore, the location
of an adult entertainment use on the subject property would violate Section 90-343 (1O)b.5. The
Planning Staff recommends denial of the application pending the City Attorney's concurrence of
the Staff's position. Attorney Cook concurred.
I
Mr. Brisson announced that he was ready to take questions and comments from the Board and the
public. Chairperson Ledferd asked Mr. Brisson, based on these comments and recommendations
you are moving from approved to disapprove? Mr. Brisson replied that is correct. We would
recommend to deny or disapprove the application. Primarily based on the fact that it does violate
the 500 feet separation requirement from land zoned for residential use and also a few of the other
minor less stringent requirements that were set forth in the original report.
Chairperson Ledferd asked whether the Board had any questions at this time for Mr. Brisson?
There were none. He then asked Mr. Game whether he wanted to address the Board. Mr. Game
replied that he had nothing to say except the state law gives the right to proceed with the business
of adult entertainment as long as the requirements are met.
Chairperson Ledferd asked whether there were questions or comments from the public, they would
need to come to the podium and state their name for the record. He also requested that everyone
try to keep their comments under three minutes n order to give everyone a chance to speak.
I
Those addressing the Board opposed to the special exception were Pastor Joe Bishop of the
Fountain of Life Church; and Pastor Larry Kilgore of the Church of God. Also Pastor Alton
Padgett, Jr. Of the Bassinger Church of God; Youth Pastor Brian Dryden of the Church of God and
9th grade school teacher; Pastor Edward Stewart of the New St. Steven African Methodist Church;
Jeff Finkston of Bethel Assembly of God; residents Rebecca Barber, Bertha Boswell, Rodriquez
Hernandez, Charlotte Delegall, Kate Preston, Mirriam Derrick and William Mason.

Lastly, Sheriff Deputy John Rhoden briefly gave statistics regarding adult entertainment businesses
and how they burden the community they are located in.
Chairperson Ledferd thanked everyone for their comments. However, the Board's decision cannot
be based on moral or ethical feelings. Land use decisions must be based on legal requirements and
those requirements are set by the State Legislature, County Commission and the City Council.
Any citizens who want to address the actual law would need to take that up with the actual
legislative government body.
Board Member McCoy noted that in addition to the revised Planning Staff findngs regarding the
residential uses not allowed within 500 feet, the impact to the property values could also be looked
at as an adverse effect to the surrounding area where it also is one of the requirements for granting
the special exception. Board Member Maxwell agreed that this is at least two technical
requirements the applicant has not been able to meet.
Board Member Hoover made a motion todeny Special Exception No. 07-00] -SE to allow an Adult
Entertainment Establishment within Industrial Zoning District based on the Planning Consultants
report and the fact that he has proven that is a zoning category within 500 feet of the proposed
business that permits residential use, and therefor this application violates Code Book Section 90-
343 (1O)b.5; seconded by Board Member McCoy.

Consider Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment
Application No. 07-001-SSA continued.
Legal description: Lots 1 through 4 of Block 2, Royal Oak Addition, as recorded in Plat Book 1,
Page 8, Public Records of Okeechobee County, Florida and is approximately 0.650 acre(s). The
proposed use of the vacant property is light commercial.
Mr. Brisson presented the Planning Staff Report, and recommended denial based on the
inconsistency with the Future Land Use Element. The subject property is within the Single-
Family Future Land Use category and the RSF-1 Zoning District.
I
Subject property would seem more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies by remaining
in the Single-Family Future Land Use category. Public facilities would be available but traffic
impacts would be substantial as this area is residential and the roadway may not be able to support
more commercial traffic. The change from the Single-Family to Commercial Future Land Use
category would create an incompatible use with the surrounding neighborhood. The existing
Future Land Use categories, the existing Zoning Districts, and the existing uses of the surrounding
area (north, south and west) are all compatible with each other. If granted, the commercial use
would be incompatible with the adjacent uses. The applicant's request, if granted, would not be in
compliance with the standards set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.
Discussion ensued with the Board regarding expanding the commercial area into the residential
section. Mr. Goodbread, addressed the Board stating that three sides of the property are
residential, out on the East side has commercial uses. Light Commercial is a reasonable bridge
to residential. Southwest 2nd Avenue has turned into a Light Commercial area due to the cost of
real estate on Parrott A venue. He explained that he would like to use this property for an overflow
parking lot, due to the proximity of the Heavy Commercial (CHV) block to the East.
I
Board Member Burroughs noted that the property could not be used for a parking lot without a
special exception.
Board Member Maxwell noted for the record that Mr. Goodbread contactedhirn and they discussed
the property prior to the meeting. Chairperson Ledferd asked for comments from the public. Mr.
Bobbit stated that he lived on Southwest 2nd Avenue just North of the intersection of Southwest 21 st
Street and South Parrott A venue.

The area is already suffering from the increased traffic. He considered this spot zoning, and that
is going to influence the quality of life of the residents in this area. He was opposed to the
application. Mr. Larry Julian representing Janice Newcomer a resident of this area also was
opposed to this application. Mr. Wayne Radford, Southwest 3rd Avenue, reported that the traffic
is bad, and he is opposed to the application. Mr. Sizemore, also spoke in opposition to the
application.
Chairperson Ledferd asked whether the Board had any further questions? There were none.
Board Member Hoover made a recommendation of denial for Comprehensive Plan Small Scale

requesting to change the Future Land Use designation from Single Family (SF) to Commercial (C)

according '[0 the Plat thereof recorded in Plat Book 5, Page 5, of the Public Records of Okeechobee

consistent with the future land use in the area of single family and traffic impact.

B.
Consider Comprehensive Plan Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment
Application No. 07-002-SSA continued.
After examining the Future Land Use Element, the subject property would seem more consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan policies by remaining in the Single Family Future Land Use category
and not allowing the Commercial to encroach west of Southwest 2nd A venue. The intent of the
Future Land use Element and Future Land Use Map is to manage future growth in a compatible
manner. In implementing the plan, the City has to ensure that its land development regulations
protect the use and value of private property from adverse impacts of incompatible land uses,
activities and hazards.
In addition, Objective 12 states that the City of Okeechobee shall encourage compatibility with
adjacent uses, and curtailment of uses inconsistent with the character and land uses of surrounding
area, and shall discourage urban sprawl.
I
The applicant's request to amend the Future Land use map would be inconsistent with the Future
Land Use Element. The subject property is within the Single Family Future land Use category and
Residential Multiple Family (RMF) Zoning District and is already developed with a single family
residence. Public facilities would be available, but traffic impacts could be substantial. The
applicant's request, if granted, would not be in compliance with the standards set forth in the
Comprehensive Plan.
Mrs. Renee Ellerbee addressed the Board regarding her application by stating that she is being
displaced from her current location due to development. Mr. Randy Ellerbee distributed copies
. . of the surrounding area noting the existing commercial uses, regardless of the fact that the land use
is single family. There are a significant number of commercial uses which have been in operation
prior to the Future Land Use Map being adopted therefore the office would be a better fit that a
residence.
I
Chairperson Ledferd asked for any comments from the public. There were none.
Board Member Burroughs moved to recommend to the City Council to approve Comprehensive
Plan Small Scale Future Land Use map Amendment Application No. 07 -002-SSA; and that based
on the additional documentation provided by the applicant, that the application would be consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan; seconded by Board Member Johns.

Consider Rezoning Petition No. 07-00 1-R continued.
Mr. Brisson presented the Planning Staff Report that recommended approval of Petition No. 07-
001-R. The proposed single family use and RSF-1 Zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan policies and the Future Land Use Map designation for this property. Section 90-1 02( 1) of the
City's Land Development Code allows single family dwellings as a permitted use under the RSF-1
zoning. The proposed single family use and RSF-1 Zoning District will not have an adverse effect
on the public interest. A single family dwelling would be appropriate for this location and
compatible with the surrounding land uses and would not adversely affect property values or living
conditions. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public
facilities. Traffic congestion, flooding or drainage will not be a problem for the site. By allowing
the applicant to develop the property under the RSF-1 Zoning District, the applicant is not
receiving any special privileges which are not granted to any other citizen un the same
circumstances. Staff recommends approval of the request.

Chairperson Ledferd asked whether the Board had any questions for the Planner? Board Member
McCoy inquired about public utilities? Mr. Mason responded that water is available by the

Consider recommendation to amend Billboard Policy - City Attorney.
Attorney Cook requested that the Board consider amendments to the sign regulations, including
but not limited to billboard signs. At the October 19,2006 meeting he submitted a memorandum
highlighting various areas of the sign regulations which needed to be changed, but the
memorandum did not encompass all the areas, therefore he did not seek a recommendation from
the Board at that time.
I
The City Council placed a moratorium on issuing billboard sign permits due to the confusion in
the sign regulations. The code book refers to off-premises signs as billboards, which will be
defined in revised language as one which directs attention to a building, profession, product,
service activity or entertainment not conducted, sold or offered on the property upon which the sign
is located, and are usually found along or near a major highway, and are such size and design as
to catch the attention of the motoring public. The locations of these signs are controlled by the
permitted size of a sign, plus additional factors such as setbacks and other restrictions. Currently
what is typically considered to be a billboard would not be permitted in Commercial Professional
Office (CPO) zoning districts, as the size limits are tied to street frontage and would be much
smallcr. Further, the definition of ground signs and off-premisses signs on the same propcrty will
be clarified.
Due to the many obstacles placed on cities by the courts, amending the sign regulations are
difficult. They must be carefully drawn for instance, to avoid placing too much discretion with the
permitting official, avoid preferring commercial sign content over non-commercial sign content,
and in the permitting and placement of signs. Essentially we cannot adopt regulations that actually
work to control sign content, which would be an impermissible infringement on the property
owners first amendment rights.
I
In essence Attorney Cook is seeking a recommendation of approval from the Board to authorize
him to completely re-write the existing sign ordinance to conform to mandates of recent case law.
Unless the Board objects, the specific changes will not come back for a fmal recommendation, but
will go directly to the City Council. Any board member may request a copy of the ordinance once
it is prepared and add their input to either Attorney, the Administrator or the Council at the
meetings.

Attorney Cook advised that the City Council recently adopted an ordinance that restricts the
residence of convicted sexual offenders. The ordinance requires that certain areas of the zoning
districts be amended in order to allow specific permitted uses and special exceptions uses for the
types of housing and half-way housing for these types of offenders. Distributed just prior to th:'
meeting was a draft ordinance that amended Section 90-343 Industrial Zoning district. Specia
Exception Uses adding the following language: (11) Rehabilitation or half-way homes. (a) Thai
as provided in Ordinance No. 967, and included in Section 38-43, rehabilitation facilities or half-
way homes for treatment and rehabilitation of sexual offenders shall be a special exception use in
industrial zoning categories, subject to the following restrictions. (b) That any such facility shall
be subject to all state laws pertinent to such facilities under the Laws of Florida. (c) That such
facility shall at no time house in excess of six (6) sexual offenders, excluding employees and staff
of the facility. (d) That such facility shall be licensed by the State of Florida and be staffed by
professional and licensed mental health care providers, and provide an organized course of
treatment and rehabilitation recognized by the State of Florida and the standard of care recognized
by the professions of psychology or psychiatry. (e) That such facility shall not be located within
1500 feet of school, public or private; a child care facility, church, public park, or a zoning district
ofRSF-1; RSF-2; RMH; RMF. (f) That sexual offender is defmed as any person convicted under,
the laws of the State of Florida or similar statutes of any other state, country or province, for an
offense recognized as a sexual offense, regardless of degree of offense or whether adjudication of
guilt was withheld by the court.
Board Member Maxwell moved to recommend approval to City Council the above amendment to
Sec. 90-343 (11) Special Exception use category under the Industrial Zoning to allow the treatment
and rehabilitation facilities or halfway houses; seconded by Board Member Hoover.

following notation was added to the end of page ten: Due to the confusion as to whom was and
was not a voting member on this issue, a second was made by an alternate member prior to him
being removed from regular voting status. Mr. Maxwell entered the chambers during the discussion
of this item. Mr. O'Connor had been moved to a voting member position at the beginning of the
meeting. The Board Sccretary called thc eITor to the Chairs attcntion that an alternatc wa\
seconding a motion when the voting member, he was sitting in for, had aITived, and thcrefore
should be placed back as a non-voting member. Since the Chair had not officially noted that the
alternate was no longer a voting member and a second to the motion was not called for by another
member, the second will remain by Mr. O'Connor. The clarification was made prior to the vote
being taken, therefore Mr. Maxwell was now a voting member, but remained silent during the vote.
A silent vote is a yea vote due to the method in which the votes are cast for this board. The motion
to recommend approval remains the same as the majority of the votes were cast and the motion was
carried.
Chairperson Ledferd added that in order to keep this from happening again once he seats an
alternate in a voting members seat, they will remain there for the rest of the meeting. The alternate
will need to physically move to the chair of that voting member on the dias. Secretary Clement's
cell phone number was also distributed so that board members may call her to advise when they
were running late to a meeting as well.

REVISED CO~NTS AND RECO~NDATIONS:
Section 90-343 (10).b.5 of the LDC prohibits an adult entertainment
establishment within 500 feet of an area zoned for residential uses. Staff is
of the opinion that property zoned H qualifies as an area zoned for residen-
tial uses. Specifically, the H District (Holding District), as described in the
earlier zoning district under which these lands were zoned, allows single-
family dwellings as a permitted principal structure. Therefore, the location
of an adult entertainment use on the subject property would violate Section
90-343 (10).b.5 and the Staff recommends denial of the application pending
the City Attorney's concurrence of the Staffs position.
If it is determined that the Petition does not violate the distance require-
ments, any approval should be conditioned upon fully meeting the require-
ments of Ordinance 743 assuring that no alcohol (including beer or wine) are
offered for sale or consumption on the premises; hours of operation are not
during school hours, and the establishment is in full compliance with City
rules regarding parking, landscape, and building code safety requirements.
Further, the following conditions are also recommended:
1. At least one off-duty law enforcement officer employed by the
Adult Entertainment Facility be present during hours of operation
to ensure that Ordinance 743 is fully complied with; and,
2. Patrons and/or customers are prohibited from congregating outside
the building.

Subject: Objection to Special Exception Petition 07-00 1-SE for Adu 1t Entertainment
To: City Planning Board of Okeechobee, Florida
I am the owner of property within 300 feet of the property the City
Planning Board is considering a special exception for, to allow an
adult entertainment establishment.
(Petition 07-00 I-SE)
I live and work in Miami and cannot attend the public hearing in person.
However as an affected property owner I believe an adult entertainment
establishment in this neighborhood would be a detriment to the area and to
the interests of those nearby.
Please register and consider my strong opposition to this petition.
Thank You.
Respectfully,
Dean Weidling

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.

BoardIBoard 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

Mr. LaRue reviewed the Comprehensive Plan Analysis as follows: 1. The proposed use is not contrary
to Comprehensive Plan requirement: 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; ProfessionallBusiness/Medical 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.

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.
Staff recommends approval of the request to allow rezoning from RSF-1 to CHV permitting the applicant
to develop the property with commercial uses.
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. 06-0 14-R to City Council to rezone property
located at 2100 South Parrott Avenue within the 2000 Block of Southwest Second Avenue, from

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.

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
to .make 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 requirements or do we also need something else? It is all you need, replied Mr. LaRue. Should
we have 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.

Planning Staff Report Summary: A. Comprehensive Plan Analysis: As proposed, the applicant's
request is not consistent with the Multi-Family Land Use category as intended in the Future land Use
Element of the City's comprehensive Plan. This is a location with inadequate traffic flow capability. The
traffic impacts and potential incompatibility to other Single Family uses have not been appropriately
recognized. B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities: Water is available to the subject property
but sewer availability has not been confirmed. Impacts to traffic and schools have not been assessed. C.
Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses: The proposed change in Future Land Use may
accelerate too much residential growth in a location not suitable for such impacts, especially from a traffic
standpoint. D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan: The City's Comprehensive Plan
Goals, Objectives and Policies, as they are intended, do not support a change to Multi-Family residential
use at this time. Nearby vacant Multi-Family lands should be absorbed prior to further expansion of
apartments at this location.
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 note requirements set forth in Chapter 163 of the Florida
Statutes. Staff does not recommend approval to amend the Future Land Use map from Single-Family
to Multi-Family based on the above comments and the application's inconsistency with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.

Mr. Haynes Williams spoke on behalf of Mr. Altobello. Mr. Williams told the Board that due to surgery
Mr. Altobello would not be present for this meeting.
Mr. LaRue reported that this application is allowed based on size of property. This petition was first
heard in May and withdrawn. The applicant as instructed by Mr. LaRue was looking at submitting this
petition in a different direction. Upon further investigation it was decided by the applicant and developers
of the property to proceed with the Comprehensive Plan Amendment as submitted.
Mr. LaRue expressed concern about the traffic that would be generated by this development. The
property from the South, North and West are Single Family. There is some concern regarding historical
perspective to preserve Single Family. Department of Community Affairs, (DCA) states that Okeechobee
City is projecting a larger population than is predicted by the State of Florida census.
Board Member Burroughs inquired about the waste water capacity for the development. Mr. LaRue
stated that no plan was submitted by the applicant for waste water. Board Member Burroughs asked
whether the expansion of the waste water plant was in line with the development? Eric Engstrom, Chief
Financial Officer for Royal Professional Builders replied that they are working with Okeechobee Utility
Authority (OUA) on this matter, they have not signed a Developers Agreement, but they will be
participating at the OUA November 7,2006 meeting.
Board Member McCoy asked Mr. LaRue whether there were any problems with DCA regarding the two
Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendments that were submitted by Mr.
Altobello one being contiguous to this property? Mr. LaRue replied that it has been a year since the last
application was submitted and processed, and since Okeechobee was in an area of Rural Economic
Concern, as appointed by Governor Bush, Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
Amendment can cover up to 20 acres. This petition is clearly not a violation.
Mr. Ledferd wanted to know why a traffic study is not part of the application for petition, since it is such
a critical part of the equation. Mr. LaRue answered that the Board would see a complete Staff Report
when this issue is required at application time. Board Member Burroughs said that it would be more
applicable when we have that concurring aspect up front, in the future should we have concurrency reports
from the applicant when they submit an application?

Jeff Sumner, representative of LBFH Engineering thanked Mr. LaRue for his tireless work to make a
Planned Unit Development District (PUD) zoning fit this project. Unfortunately, PUD is in the Single
Family category and will not work for this application. This development needs to provide Multi-Family
housing. This project is to house the employees of the Royal Concrete Company that is being construeted
on Highway 98 North. The company anticipates opening the plant during the second quarter of 2007,
with the initial work force of 500 employees, coming mainly from the Palm Beach area. Within five years
the work force is predicted to be at 1,300 to 1,500 employees. The developers have looked over the entire
area of Okeechobee and found no affordable housing for the employees, this development will provide
that affordable housing.
Mr. Sumner also reported that a traffic study has been commissioned to include these parcels and the ten
acres to the South. The developer is aware of the costs of accommodating traffic created by the
development. We are not building this with the thought of "If we build this will they corne." This is
being build to accommodate the future employees ofthe Royal Concrete Plant. Mr. Sumner also said that
the developers are willing to meet with Superintendent of Schools, Mrs. Cooper to discuss impact on the
school system. The proximity of an elementary school to the project is a favorable point.
Mr. LaRue told the Board that from a timing stand point, phase one needs to move along with the building
of the Concrete Plant. The Traffic analysis will be available within one to two weeks.
Board Member Burroughs asked about the phasing process. Last year phase one and this one phase two?
Mr. Sumner replied that the rough date of phase one was several months away. We are working on
permits. There are no wet lands on phase one. We could have 90 units in Phase one, but there will be
only 74 units due to retention ponds. Phase two will have 76 units and Phase three there will be 52 units.
The Concrete Plant will produce the material needed to build the housing for the development.
Board Member Maxwell asked Mr. Engstrom whether the housing would be for lease or sale, and would
it be available for the general public? Mr. Engstrom replied that they did not know for sure, but that the
current goal was to accommodate employees only. He did state that it would not have deed restrictions.
And there will be a property manager.

Mr. Climaco Cardenas, Royal Architect and Design Of Urban Designer Planning explained to the Board
the relationship of the plant and the housing development. These two entities are only one mile apart.
We want to focus on quality of life. Employees who live in the development could ride their bicycles to
work. The design of the housing is going to DCA for approval. We are also going to produce modular
town homes. The plant can produce 4,000 units a year. Board Member Juarez inquired of the cost of the
units. Mr. Cardenas said it was a good incentive to the employees. Our goal is not to make a profit from
the employees. We are trying to provide quality.
Chairperson Ledferd asked whether there were any further discussion. There was none.

Staff Report 1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. As proposed,
the applicant's request would be inconsistent with the proposed Multi-Family Land Use category as
intended in the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed use being
applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. The
RMF Zoning District allows a variety of uses, including multi-family housing, however, the subject
property would seem to be more consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies by remaining in the Single-
Family Future Land Use category classification and have development limited to Single-Family
residences. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. The existing
neighborhood seems to reflect a low level of residential intensity especially to the West of this property.
Residential Multi-Family dwellings especially on the western side of this property would be inconsistent
with the existing pattern of the neighborhood. This area, if allowed to be changed to Multi-Family, could
cause more rezonings in this single-family area. 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 use is not appropriate for the location until the applicant submits a traffic analysis of the
impacts from the subject property and the adjacent property which was amended and rezoned last year.
It is also not known what the drainage impacts would be if this area was intensified to Multi-Family.
Previously, it was thought that this parcel would be combined with the area to the east, now it seems to
be a stand alone project. 5. The proposed use could adversely affect living conditions of the adjacent
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. If granted, buffering would be determined during
the site plan review phase. 7. The proposed application if granted could overburden water, sewer,
schools, and streets unless the impacts are fully planned for. 8. Traffic congestion could be a problem
if rezonings of this size and intensity are allowed to continue. 9. The proposed use has not been
inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. 10. The proposed change could constitute a grant of
special privilege if approved without full analysis.

October 19, 2006 - Planning BoardIBoard of Adjustments and Appeals - Page 7 of 10
Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of the request to allow rezoning from Holding to RMF but
if the Future Land Use is recommended to change to multi-family staff would recommend a rezoning to
PUD rather than the RMF zoning district.
Mr. LaRue said that he would work with the applicant for a PUD Zoning to develop Multi-Family and
Single Family, with four units per acre. This would have more in terms of street frontage, more open
space, and less density. Board Member Hoover asked whether all present was in favor of that? The
Board and the Developers concurred. Mr. Ledferd asked whether there were an comments from the
public. There were none.
Board Member Burroughs moved to find Rezoning Petition No. 06-010-R consistent with Comprehensive
Plan and recommended the Planned Unit Development District Zoning to the City Council; seconded by
Board Member Juarez.

Staff Report: A. The subject property has a Future Land Use classification of Commercial which allows
the commercial activities being requested by the applicant. Therefore, the proposed use is not contrary
to the Comprehensive Plan. B. Section 90-283 (4) of the City's Land Development Code allows enclosed
warehouse and storage as a special exception use within the CHV Zoning District. C. The proposed use
will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.

D. The use is appropriate and compatible with adjacent uses. It should be determined whether or not
parking should be separated as there are two buildings on the property and both are being used for retail
business and enclosed storage. E. Property values or living conditions will not be affected by allowing
the applicant to use this subject property as retail business and enclosed warehouse and storage. F.
Because this property is already developed buffering may not be necessary. G. Density is not an issue
for this case. H. Public safety will no be an issue for this case.
Staff recommends approval of Petition No. 06-0 11-SE based on findings contained within the report.
Mr. LaRue stated in terms of the request that there is a need for this petition. Some tenants would like
to use the space as an office. He said that would not be problem. Parking will be separate issue when the
Occupational License is issued.
Chairperson Ledferd asked whether there were questions. There were none.

Mr. LaRue questioned the Board whether there had been a motion at the last meeting concerning this
Ordinance? The Board replied that there was not a motion, that they had requested Mr. LaRue to add
additional verbage to broaden the scope of regulations.
Mr. LaRue again presented the proposed ordinance as was previously written. Board Member Hoover
asked whether this Ordinance was for new restaurant owners? Mr. LaRue said that it would be the same
for new or existing. Board Member Hoover also inquired, whether this ordinance would cover an increase
in the customer area? Mr. LaRue replied that the parking only pertains to the customer area, not the areas
where customers are not permitted, one per 75 square feet of customer service area. Mr. LaRue also
stated that this should be more that adequate to accommodate parking. Where there is a building that
cannot meet the requirements they will have to obtain a Special Exception. The rules are not that bad,
some people just do not want to comply. Board Member Maxwell restated that he believes the ordinance
should be clearer. Attorney Cook interjected that this ordinance is generic enough to cover all
commercial uses.
Board Member Maxwell asked whether this ordinance covered all applications? Mr. LaRue answered
yes.
Attorney Cook said that is is only a recommendation to the City Council, that have the authority and the
option to change any part of the ordinance. Mr. LaRue suggested that in the future the City may need a
City parking lot. Chairperson Ledferd asked whether there was any further discussion. There was none.
Board Member Maxwell moved to recommend to City Council to amend Ordinance No. 716 Land
Development Regulations, particularly Article III, Division 8, Section 90-253 Special Exception Uses,
and Section 90-512 Space Regulations; providing for an effective date; seconded by Board Member

ACTION- DISCUSSION - VOTE I
Attorney Cook, addressed the Board stating regarding a proposed amendment to Sec. 90-486 that he did
not feel that the Board was to keen on the idea of this LDR Amendment so he removed it from the
Agenda to allow Semitrailers and Commercial Vehicles to park within Residential Zoning Districts upon
the receipt of a Special Exception. The Board discussed the amendment at length at their September 21,
2006 meeting. The Board advised Attorney Cook to review the LDR and rework the existing verbage.
The Board felt that the LDR was not specific enough to cover an area large enough to turn the large
vehicles around without using easement and City property. Attorney Cook advised that, based on the
discussion, he would explain to the City Council that the Board does not recommend making any changes
to the Code at this time.
There being no further items on the agenda, Chairperson Ledferd adjourned the meeting at 7:07 P.M.
otation regarding Application No. 06-012-SSA. Due to confusion as to whom was and~,
, as not a voting member on this issue, a second was made by an alternate member
prior to him being removed from regular voting status. Mr. Maxwell entered the
;"hambers during the discussion of this item. Mr. O'Connor had been moved to a voting
;member position at the beginning of the meeting. The Board Secretary called the error
to the Chairs attention that an alternate was seconding a motion when the voting
member, he was sitting in for, had arrived, and therefore should be placed back as a
"non-voting member. Since the Chair had not officially noted that the alternate was no
longer a voting member and second to the motion was not called for by another
member, the second will remain by Mr. O'Connor. The clarification was made prior to
the vote being taken, therefore Mr. Maxwell was now a voting member, but remained
silent during the vote. A silent vote is a yea vote due to the method in which the votes
are cast for this board. The motion to recommend approvfll remains the same as th,
fI/ftljority of the votes were cast and the motion was carriel.

Staff Report
Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Applicant: G4 Land and Cattle Co.
Petition No. 07-001-SSA
Summary:
The applicant is requesting this Future Land Use Map change in order to operate a
professional office on the subject property or to accommodate the heavy commercial
uses across the street by alternating as a parking facility.
Comprehensive Plan Analysis
A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies.
After examining the Future Land Use Element, the subject property would seem
more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies by remaining in the Single-
Family Future Land Use category. The intent of the Future Land Use Element and
Future Land Use Map is to manage future growth. In implementing the Plan, the
City has to ensure that its land development regulations protect the use and value
of private property from adverse impacts of incompatible land uses, activities and
hazards. (See Policy 2.2)
In addition, Objective 12 states that the City of Okeechobee shall encourage
compatibility with adjacent uses, and curtailment of uses in consistent with the
character and land uses of surrounding areas, and shall discourage urban sprawl.
The applicant's request to amend the Future Land Use Map would be inconsistent
with the Future Land Use Element. The suhject property is within the Single-
Family Future Land Use category and the RSF-l Zoning District.
B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities
Public facilities would be available, but traffic impacts would be substantial as
this area is residential and the roadway may not be able to support more
commercial traffic.
C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses
The change from the Single-Family to Commercial Future Land Use category
would create an incompatible use with the surrounding neighborhood. The
existing Future Land Use categories, the existing Zoning Districts, and the
existing uses of the surrounding area (north, south and west) are all compatible
with each other. If granted, the commercial use would be incompatible with the
adjacent uses. (See Future Land Use Map Attached)

set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.

request.

Request:
The matter for consideration is an application for a Future Land Use Map Amendment from
Single Family to Commercial. Based on the size of the property (0.54 acres), this application
qualifies under Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes as a Small-Scale Amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan. The applicant is also requesting a rezoning change from RMF to CHV for
the property.

Summary:
The applicant is requesting this Future Land Use Map change from Single Family to
Commercial. in order to operate a professional office, although a Commercial Future Land Use
allows many other uses. The current corridor of land designated as Commercial Future Land Use
in this area does not cross S.W. 2nd Avenue south of S.W. 4th Street.
Comprehensive Plan Analysis
A. Consistency with the Land Use Categories and Plan Policies.
After examining the Future Land Use Element, the subject property would seem more
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies by remaining in the Single-Family Future
Land Use category and not allowing the Commercial to encroach west of S.W. 2nd Avenue.
The intent of the Future Land Use Element and Future Land Use Map is to manage future
growth in a compatible manner. In implementing the Plan, the City has to ensure that its land
development regulations protect the use and value of private property from adverse impacts
of incompatible land uses, activities and hazards. (See Policy 2.2)
In addition, Objective 12 states that the City of Okeechobee shall encourage compatibility
with adjacent uses, and curtailment of uses inconsistent with the character and land uses of
surrounding areas, and shall discourage urban sprawl.
The applicant's request to amend the Future Land Use Map would be inconsistent with the
Future Land Use Element. The subject property is within the Single-Family Future Land Use
2

category and the RMF Zoning District and IS already developed with a single-family
residence.
B. Concurrency of Adequate Public Facilities
Public facilities would be available, but traffic impacts for uses within the CHV could be
substantial. Although this area is primarily residential, SW 2nd Avenue and SW 4th Street
could probably support more commercial traffic. However, this would need to be determined
prior to allowing the commercial use.
C. Compatibility with Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses
The change from the Single-Family to Commercial Future Land Use category would create
an incompatible use with the properties immediately adjacent to the subject property_ (See
Future Land Use Map Attached.) In addition, if the City were to allow this request it would
be setting a precedent in an area of the City which is best suited as a residential
neighborhood. S.W. 2nd Avenue currently acts as a buffer from the existing Commercial uses
to the east.
D. Compliance with Specific Standards of the Plan.
The applicant's request, if granted, would not be in compliance with the standards set forth in
the Comprehensive Plan.
Analysis and Conclusions
Based on the above information, staff does not recommend for approval of this request.

Rezoning Request
Applicant: William H. Mason
Petition No. 07-001-R
Summary:
The subject property consists of several lots located in the northeastern portion of the City. All of
the subject property is within the Single Family Future Land Use category as shown on the
City's Future Land Use Map. All of the lots are vacant and undeveloped. It is the applicant's
intent to construct a single family residence on the property (Lots 2 and 3, Block 32) and leave
the rest of the property vacant. The surrounding existing uses are a mix of residential,
commercial and industrial uses. The request to rezone the subject property will make the zoning
consistent with the Future Land Use classification and will allow development which is
compatible with the neighboring properties.
Analysis
1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements.
The proposed single family use and RSF-1 Zoning is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan policies and the Future Land Use Map designation for this
property.
Policy 2.1(a):
Single-Family Residential. Pennitted uses are one single-family
dwelling 011 each lot and structures accessory to the residential use.
mobile home parks and public facilities. Maximum density (~r Jour
units per acre Jor residential units on individuullots, and six units
per acre Jor mobile home parks.
2. The proposed use being appliedfor is specifically authorized under the zoning district
in the Land Development Regulations.
Section 90-102(1) of the City's Land Development Code allows single family
dwellings as a permitted use under the RSF-1 Zoning District.
3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.
The proposed single family use and RSF-1 Zoning District will not have an adverse
effect on 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.
A single family dwelling would be appropriate for this location and compatible with
the surrounding land uses.

Staff Report
Rezoning Request
Applicant: William H. Mason
Petition No. 07-001-R
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.
The RSF-l Zoning and accompanying single family use would not adversely affect
property values or living conditions. Development of the subject property could
encourage development of vacant lands adjacent to the applicant's 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 required, the proposed single family use could be buffered from surrounding uses.
At this time, however, it does not appear that buffering will be necessary.
7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public
facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services.
The proposed single family use will not create a density pattern that would
overburden public facilities. The proposed RSF-l Zoning would create consistency
with the existing Single Family Future Land Use category.
S. The proposed use will not creme traffic congestion, flooding or drainage prohlems.
or Olhenvise affect public safety.
The applicant is not proposing any density increases for the subject property. The
rezoning request is to allow the applicant to develop the property within the
parameter of the Single Family land use category consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan. As such, traffic congestions, flooding or drainage will not be a problem for the
site.
9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions.
The only restrictions placed on the subject property are those which are set forth in
the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Code. 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.
By allowing the applicant to develop the property under the RSF-l Zoning District,
the applicant is not receiving any special privileges which are not granted to any other
citizen under the same circumstances.

Summary:
The subject property contains a residential structure. Additionally, the applicant is requesting to
amend the Future Land Use Map from Single-Family to Commercial to allow the proposed
office on the property. The surrounding block of the subject parcel is a single-family
neighborhood and a commercial office would be out of place. There is adequate commercial
nearby and it is not necessary to further encroach into this residential area.
Analysis
1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements.
After examining the Future Land Use Element, the subject property would seem
more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies by remaining in the Single-
Family Future Land Use category. The intent of the Future Land Use Element and
Future Land Use Map is to manage future growth. In implementing the Plan, the City
has to ensure that its land development regulations protect the use and value of
private property from adverse impacts of incompatible land uses, activities and
hazards. (See Policy 2.2)

Staff Report
Rezoning Request
Applicant: Glenda Bellamy and Renee Ellerbee
Petition No. 07 -002-R
In addition, Objective 12 states that the City of Okeechobee shall encourage
compatibility with adjacent uses, and curtailment of uses inconsistent with the
character and land uses of surrounding areas, and shall discourage urban sprawl.
The subject property is within the Single-Family Future Land Use category and the
RMF Zoning District and is already developed with a single-family residence. The
surrounding properties are also consistent and allowing this use would be contrary to
the Comprehensive Plan policies.
2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district
in the Land Development Regulations.
Section 90-282(1) permits professional office, business office, and medical offices in
the CHV Zoning District.
3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.
It has not been demonstrated that the proposed use would avoid an adverse effect on
the public interest especially increased traffic generation in a residential
neighborhood.
4. The lIse is appropriate for the locatioll proposed. is reasonably comp{{/ible \l"ith
adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use
patterns.
The use is not appropriate for this location. Furthermore, any future commercial use
in this area could have a detrimental impact on the neighboring residential homes by
allowing commercial traffic generation and other impacts related to operating a
commercial venture. Such impacts may be incompatible with and difficult to buffer
from adjacent uses.
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.
Permitted uses such as those allowed in the CHV Zoning district could affect or have
the appearance of affecting property values in the residential neighborhood.
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 granted, the use may be required to be buffered from the residential neighborhood.

Applicant: Glenda Bellamy and Renee Ellerbee

7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public
facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services.
The proposed use and CHV Zoning will not overburden public facilities such as
schools and utilities services. Traffic, however, would be increased.
8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems,
or otherwise affect public safety.
The subject property will increase traffic as a result of future commercial use. If
approved, a site plan will be required to show drainage on the site.
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 proposed change could be interpreted as a special favor to an individual owner.
Summary and Conclusions Prior to Certification
The proposed zoning and use appears to be inconsistent with the Comprehensive
Plan. The change from the Single Family to Commercial would create an
incompatible use with the surrounding neighborhood. As stated earlier, the existing
Future Land Use category, the existing Zoning and the existing use are all more
compatible with the immediate surrounding area.
The City must encourage compatibility with adjacent uses, and curtailment of uses
that are inconsistent with the character and land uses of surrounding areas as well as
discourage urban sprawl.
Recommendation
Staff recommends denial of the request to allow rezoning from RMF to CHV
permitting the applicant to convert a single family residence to a professional office.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
WE ARE WRITING THIS LEITER IN REGARDS TO THE PARKING AT 108 NE 9TI1 ST,

IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING TIIAT THE CITY HAS ifuQUESTED TIIAT WE HAVE PARKING
OF AN ASPHALT NATURE. THE AMOUNT OF P.ARK1N-G HAS BEEN DETERMlNED
THAT WE WILL NEED 1 SPACE (9X20) PER EVERY 300 SQ. FT OF BUILDING SPACE. THE
BUILDING IS 120 LONG BY 40 WIDE WHICH TELLS US WE NEED 16 PARKING SPACES. WE
CURRENTLY HA VE PARKING FOR 13 CARS ON EXISTING CONCRETE. IT IS ARE INTENT TO
ASPHALT TIIE PARKING LOT AND DRIVEWAY FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE NO LESS
THAN 34 PARKING SPACES. HOWEVER, WE WILL NOT BE IN POSSESION OF ALL OF THE
BUILDING DUE TO OTHER TENANTS. THE BUILDING IS SPLIT INTO 3 SECTIONS
AND RENTED TO 2 OTHER DIFFERENT PEOPLE. AS THEY LEAVE, WE WILL BE TAKING
OVER THE WHOLE BUILDING. OVER THE NEXT 6 MONTHS, WE WILL BE LOOKING TO OPEN
NEW THINGS IN TIIE BUILDINGS. IN DOING SO, WE ARE AWARE TIIA T WE WILL HAVE TO
RE APPLY TO THE CITY, AT WHICH TIME WE WOULD BE ABLE TO START THE PARKING
LOT. WE WOULD SECURE A $10,000.00 BOND WITH THE CITY TO ENSURE THAT BY THE
END OF 6 MONTHS, WE BEGIN, AND BY THE END OF THE I ST YEAR, WE ARE DONE. IF WE
FAIL TO BEGIN BY THE SIXTH MONTH AND CLOSE, TIIERE WILL BE NO F AUL T. SHOULD
WE CONTINUE PAST THE SIXTH MONTH, WE MUST COMPLETE BY THE 12TI1 MONTH OR
WE WOULD LOSE TIIE BOND TO THE CITY AND OUR OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE. WE HOPE
YOU FIND THIS AGREEMENT TO BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL PARTIES CONCE~D.

Sec. 86-182. Storm drainage.
(a) A drainage system shall be designed show-
ing the ultimate disposition of the. design storm.
All stormwater conveyance systems shall' h~ve
adequate capacity to carry the runoff resulting
from rainfall intensity which maybe expected for
a ten-year storm period. Stormwater treatment
and disposal facilities shall be designed for a
25-year storm event of 24-hour duration. Such
facilities shall meet the design and performance
standards established in F.A.C. 17-25.025. The
first inch of stormwater runoff shall be treated
on-site, pursuant to F.AC. 17-3.051. Stormwater
discharge facilities shall be designed such that
the receiving water body shall not be degraded
below minimum conditions necessary to ensure
the suitability of water for the designated use of
its classification as established in F.A.C. ch. 17-3.
These standards shall apply to all development
and redevelopment. Where there is substantial
diversion of water, such diversion shall be accom-
plished so as to prevent erosion.

a posit.ive outfall to existing stonn wastewater
systems, lakes, canals, rivers, streaIIls, or previ-
ously constructed city, county or state road ditches.

shall be screened by appropriate trees or shrub-
bery.
(c) lfthe added runoff from the developed area
will, in the judgment of the city, overtax or over-
load the existing public stormwater system or
roadway, then the developer shall include in his
plans sufficient work to enlarge the present facil-
ities to care for the added drainage imposed on
the system.
(d) Where land is subject to periodic flooding
by the overflow from creeks, rivers, or streaIIls, a
floodplain based on a 25-year, 24-hour storm must
be established and clearly designated on the final
plat. No building will be permitted within the
area of the floodplain unless the entire area to be
utilized for building is filled to a height of three
feet above the floodplain and proposed filling as
approved by the South Florida Water Manage-
ment District (SFWMD).

way.
The developer shall be required to clear all
rights-of-way in accordance with the public works

Legal Description of Subject Property:
LOTS 1, 2 AND 3 AND NORTH 40 FEET OF LOTS 4, 5 AND 6 AND ALLEY
BETWEEN SAID LOTS, BLOCK 51, OKEECHOBEE, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT
THEREOF RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 5, PAGE 5, OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF
OKEECHOBEE COUNTY, FLORIDA.
Item before the Board of Adjustment:
The matter for consideration by the City of Okeechobee Board of Adjustment is an
application requesting a Special Exception in the Industrial Zoning District for property
located at 508 NE 9th Street, Okeechobee, FL.
Background:
The "ubject properly is approximately 0.61\g acre(s) frontinf'- on 1\'1- l)fh Street which is
,>llhWCI to l~ll<' SpecIal Use I\LTPllOl} pe[IlJon The "lIhleet properlV 1'- developed wllh )-
unit stmcture which was used as a car shop, air condIllOnmg repan "hop. and an aluminum
shop. The applicant intends to use the structure for adult nude entertainment. The dwelling
has public utilities and the adjoining property users are as follows:

Consistency with Land Development Regulations:
When reaching a conclusion on a Special Exception, the Board of Adjustment shall
consider and show in its record the following findings:
A. The use is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan requirements.
The subject property is designated Industrial on the City's Future Land Use Map.
The Comprehensive Plan stipulates that development within this category not
exceed a floor area ratio of 3.00 and the maximum impervious surface for
development within this category shall not exceed 85% of the site.

Staff Report
Special Exception Request
Applicant's Name: Steve Game
Petition No. 07-001-SE
The structure which currently stands on the site is well within the FAR parameters
set forth in the Plan and the proposed use as an adult nude establishment although
not mentioned in the Comprehensive Plan is allowed as a Special Exception Use
within the City's Land Development Regulations.
B. The use is specifically authorized as a special exception use in the zoning district.
Yes, Section 90-343 (10) specifically authorizes the proposed use within the IND
Zoning District and is shown below:
Section 90-343. Special exception uses.
( 1 0) Adult entertainment:
a. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, adult entertainment
establishments subject to article "V, chapter 14 of subpart A of this Code
may not be permitted in any area of the city except as permitted within
the industrial district within the provisions and conditions of this Code.
b. Distance minimums. In addition to subsection (10)a of this section, an
adult establishment shall not be permitted to open, operate, or be
enlorged so as to come within the follm-ving distances:
j 0111:' fllOllsond Ieef or (/ permiffed, prenisfillg {{(Ill If ellferwil1mel1t
eswblishment:
2. One thousand feet of a preexisting commercial establishment that in
any manner sells or dispenses alcoholic beverages for on-premises
or off-premises consumption;
3. One thousand feet of a preexisting religious institution;
4. One thousand feet of a preexisting educational institution, or
library;
5. Five hundredfeet of an area zoned for residential uses;
6. One thousand feet of a park, whether improved or not;
7. Two hundred feet of a preexisting government facility, and any
halfway house.
The applicant has submitted information showing that RMF zoned property which
is to the north and west of this property is over 500 feet from the location of this
proposed special exception use. However, in analyzing the distance requirements
for the location of the Adult Entertainment (Special Exception) it is questionable
whether the residential requirements will be fully met if there is an approval of the
special exception at the requested location. There is property within 500 feet of this
request, designated as Single Family Future Land Use, in a Holding Zoning
designation. Since no rezoning can be inconsistent with its designated Future Land
Use, the Holding Zoning can only be changed to a Single Family Zoning district.
While the written narrative explaining what is allowed in the Holding Zoning
Page -2-
Staff Report
Special Exception Request
Applicant's Name: Steve Game
Petition No. 07-001-SE
District is no longer in the City's Current Land Development Code, it is included
with this report for everyone's benefit.
For the above reasons it is difficult to state that the Adult Entertainment request
would not be in violation of the residential distance requirements as the future uses
of the Holding Properties can only be residential. The purpose or intent of this type
of land use dictates that the entire block would be residential, and such development
if occurring would result in residential development existing closer than 500 feet to
an adult entertainment facility.
C. The use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.
Because of this property's location, adverse effects on the public might occur if
Blocks 34 and 35 were to be developed as residential areas. Although the
establishment is not situated within an area commonly used for residential.
educational, or governmental purposes, it is important for the City to recognize that
negative impacts of this use may arise and the City, in cooperation with the
applicant, must act to resolve those impacts immediately.
D. The use is appropriate for lhe proposed localioll. is reasonably compatible wilh
adjocor{ ilsn olld is IIOT dctn/!w/iro! {o ilrhwri:/Ilg fond II\(' poffern,
As eXplained in response 13 above, the use at the proposed location wl1Jle
technically not in absolute violation of the existing distance requirement it is in
proximity to land use that is residential on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map.
E. The use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be a
deterrent to the development of adjacent property.
It is difficult to determine property values but presumably adjacent land with
residential future land use designations might not be encouraged to develop.
F. The use may be required to be screenedfrom surrounding uses to reduce the impact
of any nuisance or hazard to adjacent uses.
The use if approved can be required to be screened from surrounding uses. The
applicant will be required to go before the Technical Review Committee for site
plan approval prior to occupying the site. The TRC will determine the best
screening options for the subject property.

Applicant's Name: Steve Game
Petition No. 07-001-SE
G. The use will not create a density pattern that will overburden public facilities such
as schools, streets, and utility services.
Overburdening of schools and utilities will not be an issue for this development.
Traffic impacts will be measured during the site plan review phase of development.
H. The use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or
otherwise affect public safety.
Prior to scheduling the hearing for the site plan review, the applicant will need to
demonstrate that parking, traffic congestion, flooding and drainage will not be a
significant problem for the site by the applicant. It is not clear through an informal
submittal that parking will be sufficient.
Comments and Recommendation:
Move that Petition No. 07-001-SE be approved only if the proximity of land in a future
land use category does not violate the distance requirements. If approved the Adult
Entertainment Special Exception must meet fully all the requirements of Ordinance 743,
and assuring that alcohol is not served, hours of operation are not during school hours and
full compliance with City rules regarding parking, landscape. and building code safety
rcqlllTcments
It IS also recommended. a:-. a condition if the Special ExceptIOn IS approved, thaI al least
one off duty law enforcement officer employed by the Adult Entertainment Facility be
present during hours of operation in order to assure that City Ordinance 743 is fully
complied with. Finally, patrons and/or customers are prohibited from congregating outside
the building.

To:

I am the owner of property within 300 feet of the property the City
Planning Board is considering a special exception for, to allow an
adult entertaimnent establishment.
(Petition 07-001-SE)
As I live in San Francisco, California, I cannot attend the public
hearing in person, but I would like to register my opposition to
granting this exception. I do not want to allow an adult
entertainment establishment to be so close to my property. An adult
entertainment establishment would not be compatible with the general
use and character of this area.
An adult entertainment establishment would jeopardize the development
and the safety of
the area around it.

In the comments and recommendation area of the Larue Planning & Management

approved, that at least one off duty law enforcement officer. . . be present during hours of
operation. Although it may not be a bad idea for some type of security to be present my
department does not have the manpower available to provide off-duty officers on a semi-
permanent basis, as this would be. In any case, we would not provide for off duty
employment in an Adult Entertainment Facility by matter of policy.

MEMO
Planning/Zoning
re: ordinance 90-561
As required by our ordinance, we have before you a request to amend the sign ordinance
for the city ofOkeechobee, which commences at 90-561.
The city council placed a moratorium on processing permits for billboard advertising, due
to some confusion in the existing ordinances. At present, the ordinances refer to off-premises
signs as billboards, which in the new ordinance will be defined as "... one which directs attention
tot a building, profession, product, service, activity or entertainment not conducted, sold or
offered on the property upon which the sign is located, and are usually found along or near a
major highway, and are of such size and design as to catch the attention of the motoring public."
The location of such signs are controlled by the permitted size of the sign, plus additional
factors such as set backs and other restrictions. Currently, what you would typically consider to
be a billboard would not be permitted in professional and office districts, as the size limitations
there are tied to street frontage and would be much smaller. Further, the defmition of ground
signs and off-premises signs on the same property is not really clear.
The drafting of a new or amended sign ordinance is difficult, as the courts have placed
many legal obstacles on such ordinances, and it must be carefully drawn for instance, to avoid
placing much discretion in the permitting official, and to avoid preferring commercial sign
content over non-commercial sign content, in the permitting and placement of signs. Essentially,
the ordinance must clearly state its objectives in sign regulation, and avoid the enactment of a
regulation that actually works to control sign content, which would be an impermissible
infringement into the owner's frrst amendment rights under our constitution.

The present ordinance simply does not address some of these areas that must be included
in any sign ordinance; I do not have any particular draft language for the board to consider at
present, as we are still looking at other ordinances, and the effect of recent litigation. For
instance, an ordinance similar to ours in Neptune Beach, Florida, recently was totally invalidated
by the Federal court for such deficiencies in its ordinance, although I do not believe our current
ordinance suffers from the same problems as that one.
As we must first present the matter of changing LDR's to this board, I am requesting that
the board recommend to the city council a complete re-write of existing sign ordinances to
conform the ordinance to mandates of recent case law. Of course, if any member has any
particular input, feel free to notify me or the city administrator so your ideas can be considered
during the re-write.

Re: Building Permit Number 420-06-07
Please be advised, Building Permit Number 420-06-07 is being voided due to incorrect
information on the application. This permit was issued for the Industrial Zoning District,
when in actuality it is in the Central Business District. The Central Business District does
not allow for Off-site signs (billboards). We will be issuing a refund for the cost of the
permit. Please reference Sec. 70-303 of the City of Okeechobee, Florida, Code of
Ordinances. We sincerely apologize f()r any inconvenience this may cause.

THEREOF RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 5, PAGE 5, OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF

Item before the Board of Adjustment:
The matter for consideration by the City of Okeechobee Board of Adjustment is an
application requesting a Special Exception in the Industrial Zoning District for property
located at 508 NE 9th Street, Okeechobee, FL.
Background:
The subject property is approximately 0.688 acre(s) fronting on NE 9th Street which is
subject to this Special Use Exception petition. The subject property is developed with 3-
unit structure which was used as a car shop, air conditioning repair shop, and an aluminum
shop. The applicant intends to use the structure for adult nude entertainment. The dwelling
has public utilities and the adjoining property users are as follows:

Consistency with Land Development Regulations:
When reaching a conclusion on a Special Exception, the Board of Adjustment shall
consider and show in its record the following findings:
A. The use is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan requirements.
The subject property is designated Industrial on the City's Future Land Use Map.
The Comprehensive Plan stipulates that development within this category not
exceed a floor area ratio of 3.00 and the maximum impervious surface for
development within this category shall not exceed 85% of the site.

Staff Report
Special Exception Request
Applicant's Name: Steve Game
Petition No. 07-OO1-SE
The structure which currently stands on the site is well within the FAR parameters
set forth in the Plan and the proposed use as an adult nude establishment although
not mentioned in the Comprehensive Plan is allowed as a Special Exception Use
within the City's Land Development Regulations.
B. The use is specifically authorized as a special exception use in the zoning district.
Yes, Section 90-343 (10) specifically authorizes the proposed use within the IND
Zoning District and is shown below:
Section 90-343. Special exception uses.
(10) Adult entertainment:
a. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, adult entertainment
establishments subject to article V, chapter 14 of subpart A of this Code
may not be permitted in any area of the city except as permitted within
the industrial district within the provisions and conditions of this Code.
b. Distance minimums. In addition to subsection (lO)a of this section, an
adult establishment shall not be permitted to open, operate, or be
enlarged so as to come within the following distances:
1. One thousand feet of a permitted, preexisting adult entertainment
establishment;
2. One thousand feet of a preexisting commercial establishment that in
any manner sells or dispenses alcoholic beverages for on-premises
or offpremises consumption;
3. One thousand feet of a preexisting religious institution;
4. One thousand feet of a preexisting educational institution, or
library;
5. Five hundred feet of an area zoned for residential uses;
6. One thousand feet of a park,. whether improved or not;
7. Two hundred feet of a preexisting government facility, and any
halfway house.
The applicant has submitted information showing that RMF zoned property which
is to the north and west of this property is over 500 feet from the location of this
proposed special exception use. However, in analyzing .the distance requirements
for the location of the Adult Education (Special Exception) it is questionable
whether the residential requirements will be fully met if'there. is an approval of the
special exception at the requested location. There is property Within 500 feet of this
request, designated as Single Family Future Land Use, ,in a Holding Zoning
designation. Since no rezoning can be inconsistent with i,ts designated Future Land
Use, the Holding Zoning can only be changed to a Single' Family Zoning district.
While the written narrative explaining what, is . allowed' in the Holding Zoning

Staff Report
Special Exception Request
Applicant's Name: Steve Game
Petition No. 07-OO1-SE
District is no longer in the City's Current Land Development Code, it is included
with this report for everyone's benefit.
For the above reasons it is difficult to state that the Adult Entertainment request
would not be in violation of the residential distance requirements as the future uses
of the Holding Properties can only be residential. The purpose or intent of this type
of land use dictates that the entire block would be residential, and such development
if occurring would result in residential development existing closer than 500 feet to
an adult entertainment facility.
C. The use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest.
Because of this property's location, adverse effects on the public might occur if
Blocks 34 and 35 were to be developed as residential areas. Although the
establishment is not situated within an area commonly used for residential,
educational, or governmental purposes, it is important for the City to recognize that
negative impacts of this use may arise and the City, in cooperation with the
applicant, must act to resolve those impacts immediately.
D. The use is appropriate for the proposed location, is reasonably compatible with
adjacent uses and is not detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns.
As explained in response B above, the use at the proposed location while
technically not in absolute violation of the existing distance requirement it is in
proximity to land use that is residential on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Map.
E. The use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be a
deterrent to the development of adjacent property.
It is difficult to determine property values but presumably adjacent land with
residential future land use designations might not be encouraged to develop.
F. The use may be required to be screened from surrounding uses to reduce the impact
of any nuisance or hazard to adjacent uses.
The use if approved can be required to be screened from surrounding uses. The
applicant will be required to go before the Technical Review Committee for site
plan approval prior to occupying the site. The TRC will determine the best
screening options for the subject property.

Petition No. 07-OO1-SE
G. The use will not create a density pattern that will overburden public facilities such
as schools, streets, and utility services.
Overburdening of schools and utilities will not be an issue for this development.
Traffic impacts will be measured during the site plan review phase of development.
H. The use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or
otherwise affect public safety.
Prior to scheduling the hearing for the site plan review, the applicant will need to
demonstrate that parking, traffic congestion, flooding and drainage will not be a
significant problem for the site by the applicant. It is not clear through an informal
submittal that parking will be sufficient.
Comments and Recommendation:
Move that Petition No. 07-001-SE be approved only if the proximity of land in a future
land use category does not violate the distance requirements. If approved the Adult
Entertainment Special Exception must meet fully all the requirements of Ordinance 743,
and assuring that alcohol is not served, hours of operation are not during school hours and
full compliance with City rules regarding parking, landscape, and building code safety
requirements.
It is also recommended, as a condition if the Special Exception is approved, that at least
one off duty law enforcement officer employed by the Adult Entertainment Facility be
present during hours of operation in order to assure that City Ordinance 743 is fully
complied with. Finally, patrons and/or customers are prohibited from congregating outside
the building.
