October 11, 2007 . 4431 Embarcadero Drive West Palm Beach, Florida 33407 Mr. Moshen Salehi, AICP LaRue Planning and Management Services, Inc. 1375 Jackson St Fort Myers, FL 33901 Re: Hampton Inn Okeechobee, FL 047833002 Dear Mr. Salehi: I am in receipt of your comments dated October 10,2007. I have the following responses to your Rezoning request comments: 1) Table 4A&B, Note (1) under Committed LOS C Capacity is missing. Tables 3A, 3B, 4A and 40 have been revised to reflect notes only for 3A and 3B. 2) Five (5) year historical data used for projecting growth rate is acceptable, since the buildout plus 1 year (2009) is within the projected 5 years (i.e., 1 % unacceptable for CPA is acceptable here). No response necessary. 3) No Intersection analyses to indicate any LOS determination is provided neither for the joint Driveway nor for 13th Ave. Page 15 indicating the need for an "eastbound right-turn lane at the joint driveway" is necessary but not sufficient unless it would become a condition for this development and stipulated at the applicant's expense. The joint use driveway is a right turn in/right turn out only driveway and we have analyzed it using HCM unsignalized software. The LOS in the AM Peak is "B" and in the PM Peak the LOS is "C". We have also prepared unsignalized HCM analyses for SR 70 and SE 13th Avenue for the 2009 Total Traffic (existing plus background plus Okeechobee Commons plus Hampton Inn project traffic). This shows a LOS "8" for SR 70 approaches and LOS "c" for SE 13th Avenue approach for both AM and PM peak hours. The reports are attached. 4) Since SR 70 110th Ave intersection at PM peak "with" or "without" the project traffic fails in 3 approaches and the overall intersection (The p l' .~=~ Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Mr. Moshen Salehi, October 11,2007, Page 2 "error" notations for this intersection in the Synchro report need explanations), the applicant needs to make the necessary improvements to mitigate incrementally to the extent it contributes to the intersection LOS degradation at the DO stage (i.e., whether through signal timing adjustments within the existing geometry of the intersection or any turn lane improvements). This may be the case for 13th Ave as well The error notations are an indication of an error by the program calculating the queue. The existing signal timings heavily favor the east and west thru movements and do not take into consideration the Okeechobee Commons commercial center on the north approach, thus the error messages. We are reviewing the operation of this signal and will look at revising the signal timing and possibly existing geometry at the DO stage. 5) Due to SR 70 status as a constrained facility it would be in public interest to establish a site generated daily and PM Peak trip generation cap as a condition for approving this rezoning application, in case any future developments within the site. The site generated daily and PM Peak trip generation max should be at the 5% LOS "C" threshold for the site. As the current uses proposed under this application are at 4.32%, the cap would be at 1840 Daily trips (235 additional trips) and 210 PM peak hour trips (an additional 38 trips). 6) Since the volume to capacity ratio for the failing segments of SR 70 and US 441 as constrained facilities range from 1.2 to 1.7 over LOS E for both daily traffic and PM Peak as a result of this development, despite the incremental share of this application under a 5% over LOS C threshold, the cumulative impact of all the developments under this threshold are of particular concern to us. Therefore, perhaps a cap for all of the failing links need to be established and enforced. No response is necessary. Should you have any further questions regarding these responses, please call me at (561) 845-0665.

Florida 33407 Mr. Moshen Salehi, AICP LaRue Planning and Management Services, Inc. 1375 Jackson Street Fort Myers, FL 33901 Re: Hampton Inn Okeechobee, FL 047833002 Dear Mr. Salehi: I am in receipt of your comments dated October 10, 2007. I have the following responses to your Small Scale Amendment comments: 1) Figure 2/Page 8 for traffic distribution (Map error northbound on US 441 should be 20% not 2%. Figure 2 has been revised and is attached. 2) Growth rate for US 441 would be 2.6% per year with ten years historical data not 1 %... It is questionable to use 5 years of data to project up to 10 years (I.e., 2017). FDOT requires years of projection to be commensurate with the historic data available (i.e., ten years (10) historic data for projecting traffic trend for ten (10) years and five (5) years historic data for five (5)) We agree with the applicant that the LOS would be F with 1 % or 2.6%, with or without the project south of SR 70. We previously obtained the historical traffic volumes from FOOT (see attached). Based on your comment, we have computed the following historical growth rates for 5 and 10 years as requested: a) For US 441 south of SR 70 the 5 year growth rate is negative and the 10 year (actually only 9 years of data was provided by FOOT) is zero. Therefore a nominal 1 % per year growth rate was used. b) For US 441 north ofSR 70, the 5 year growth rate is 1.7 % and the 10 year growth rate is 1.3%. c) For SR 710 south ofSR 70, the 5 year growth rate is 4.2% and the lO year growth rate is 3.9%. These are reflected in the revised Tables 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, 5A and 58. . TEL 561 845 0665 FAX 561 863 8175 ,. ~=~ Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Mr. Moshen Salehi, October 11,2007, Page 2 3) Tables 3A & B indicate existing w/Project. This is not correct. The project traffic may not be included in 2007, only existing. We had shown the project traffic on Tables 3A and 3B for informational purposes only. We have removed the project traffic form the revised tables. 4) Boundaries for the road segments shown in FDOT's FIHS and Non- FillS LOS Tables 2 and 4 provided to the applicant are inconsistent with those shown in Tables 3A&B, 4A&B, 5A&B. Additionally the page indicating LOS D for US 441 from SR 70 to CSX Crossing is missing from the applicant submittal in the appendixuFurthermore, LOS C indicated in Tables 3A&B, 4A&B, 5A&B are inconsistent with LOS D indicated in the missing page despite the fact that it was provided to the applicant We have revised all Tables to be consistent with FDOT's FIHS and Non- FIHS Tables 2 and 4 provided by the city's consultant. Please be advised that the page for LOS for US 441 from SR 70 to CSX Crossing is not missing, it is on the same page as the US 441 from SR 70 to SR 78. We have marked Table 4 for easier reference. The revised traffic study is being transmitted along with this letter for your review. Should you have any further questions regarding this analysis, please call me at (561) 845-0665.

City limits. A. bank and full service restaurant for hotel guests and surrounding City residents are also proposed for adjacent out-parcels encompassing about 1.7 acres. The Applicant is requesting to rezone the 5.5 acres from RMF to CHV. North: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: Commercial CHV Vacant East: Future Land Use Map Classification: Commercial and Single-Family Zoning District: Existing Land Use: CHV and RMF Equipment repair operation and four single-family residences South: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: Single-Family RMF Vacant West: Future Land Use Map Classification: Zoning District: Existing Land Use: Single-Family RMF U.S. Post Office The entire site is currently vacant and undeveloped except for one single-family home. The northern portion of the property encompassing about 0.8 acres fronting on SR 70 to a depth of about ]] 0 feet is already zoned Heavy Commercial (CHV) and is the location for the proposed bank and restaurant. The southern 5.5 acres is the subject of the requested rezoning from RMF to CRY. The applicant is proposing to develop an 85-room hotel on the part of the site for which the rezoning is being sought. However, if rezoning is approved, the Applicant, or any future owner of the property, will not be required to limit future development of the site to any specific use, but may develop any use allowable within the CRY zoning district. 3 Staff Report Rezoning Request Applicant: Okeechobee SR70 Holdings, LLC Petition No.: 07-011-R The Applicant has submitted supporting statements relative to the proposed project's consistency with the fmdings required for granting rezoning petitiOIis. These are provided in the appendix to this Staff Report. Staff does not disagree with the Applicant's assertions. In addition, following are the Staff comments pertaining to the required findings. 1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. . The applicant is requesting to rezone the above-described property from its current zoning ofRMF.to Commercial in conjunction with a Small Scale Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan in order to provide for development of a hotel and associated commercial. These uses are contemplated in the Comrnercialland use category and allowed under the requested CHV zoning. 2. The proposed use being appliedfor is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. Yes. Hotel, bank and restaurant are all commercial uses specifically identified as permitted uses within the CHV zoning district. 3. The proposed use \vill not have an adverse effeCT on The public intereSI. No, it will not adversely affect the public interest. The Applicant has provided letters from the Okeechobee Utility Authority confirming that the Authority has adequate capacity to provide for the potable water supply and wastewater disposal needs associated with the propose project. Copies of these letters are provided at the end of this report. The County has recently confirmed a considerable level of excess capacity available to serve the solid waste disposal needs of other major developments in the City. It appears reasonable that the volume of solid waste associated with a development of this size can also be accommodated within the capacity of the County's Solid Waste Facility. The City's adopted level of service standard (LOSS) for SR 70 and US 441/SR 7 is "C" and for local roads is "D". The Applicant has furnished a revised Traffic hnpact Analysis addressing questions and concerns initially posed by the Staff and which shows that the impact of the proposed project on SR 70, US 441/SR 7, and SE 10th and SE 13th Avenues will be insignificant. In none of these cases does the project's impact amount to as much as 5%of the traffic volume associated with adopted level of service for these roadways. Therefore, the Applicant has stated that the project is deemed not to have a significant impact on these roadways. 4 Staff Report Rezoning Request Applicant: Okeechobee SR70 Holdings, LLC Petition No.: 07-011-R Staff has identified a few additional areas where corrections or additional analyses are needed and has provided the Applicant with our comments. The Applicant should be able to provide these changes at the Planning Board meeting, or certainly by the City Council hearing. We do not, however,.expect these data to substantively modify the general findings thatthe traffic generated by the project will be relatively minimal on the affected constrained roadways. SR 70, and US 441 south of SR 70, are constrained roadways and are presently operating at traffic volumes in excess of their design capacities. This is commonly referred to as operating at a level of service "F'. In fact, after construction of this development these roadways will be operating between 20% and 70% over their design capacities for both daily traffic and the PM Peak period. This is officially referred to as operating at. a vehicle to capacity ratio of between 1.2 and 1.7. While the Applicant's contribution to this situation is relatively minimal, the cumulative impact of new developments in the future is of considerable concern to us. Since any additional traffic to these roadways will only continue to make matters worse, we suggest that the City consider implementing a policy that would not allow approval of any future requests for rezoning or amendments to the comprehensive plan that will increase the density or intensity on lands that will generate traffic onto these constrained roadways. The project will also affect two local roadways: NE 10th Avenue and NE 13th A venue. The impacts on these local roads are projected to represent only 4.29% and 5.36%, respectively, of the levels of service of these roadways and wil1 not degrade their level of service below LOS D. However, since the intersection of SR 70 and NE lOth A venue "fails" in three approaches, and on an overall basis, at the PM Peak, with or without the traffic generated by the project, the Applicant will need to contribute at the development order stage its fair share of the cost of making the necessary improvements (i.e., whether through signal timing adjustments within the existing geometry of the intersection or any turn lane improvements that might mitigate a failing situation). This may also be the case for the intersection of SR 70 and NE 13th Avenue. Further, it should be noted that the projected traffic and associated effects upon the aforementioned roadway are based on a development scenario involving 85 hotels rooms, 3,400 square feet of branch bank offices, a 5,800 square foot high-turnover sit-down restaurant. To the extent that the requested amendment is found to be within acceptable traffic generation parameters, it is based only on a project of a similar intensity. If a different development of differing character and greater intensity should be proposed in the future, it would be subject to additional concur- rency reVIew. 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. 5 Staff Report Rezoning Request Applicant: Okeechobee SR70 Holdings, LLC Petition No.: 07-011-R Yes. The proposed rezoning continues a pattern of concentrating the more intensive commercial and other nonresidential uses in nodes located on the City's two major arterial roadways (SR 70 and U.S. 441). A major land use amendment to Commercial and rezoning to CHV has been approved on about 16 acres on the north side of SR 70,. pavmg way fora major commercial concentration in the immediate vicinity. Frontage on the south side of SR 70 (the site of associated out-parcels) already carries a Commercial land use designation and CHV zoning. .The full service U. S. Post Office is located immediately to the west of the subject property and a convenience store and equipment repair operation are adjacent to the northeast portion of the site. The properties. to the south of the property are vacant, but are designated Single- Family onthe Future Land Use Map but are zoned RMF. When developed, this area will likely be in residential use. This potential residential area can be protected from the effects of the proposed commercial development through the use of stormwater retention facilities as a spatial buffer. 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 most likely effect on nearby property will be to promote improvement and rede- velopment of the adjacent commercial properties, as these arc either undeveloped or of a lesser quality development than the proposed use. Vacant, residentially designated properties to the south should not be adversely affected as they will likely be separated from the proposed commercial uses by areas likely to be used for drainage retention. 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 Yes, the vacant lands to the south will likely be physically separated from the proposed commercial development. However, care will need to be taken to ensure that the four existing single-family homes immediately east of the proposed development (fronting on SE 13th Avenue) are adequately buffered to reduce the likely impacts of the proposed commercial development nearby. 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. The proposed uses will be commercial and will not create an inappropriate density pattern nor have any impact on schools, and the utility needs of the project are within the available capacities of the local utility providers. The proposed commercial uses 6 Staff Report Rezoning Request Applicant: Okeechobee SR70 Holdings, LLC Petition No.: 07-011-R are consistent with the pattern of intensity established or anticipated in the area. While there will be some increase in traffic on SR 70, US 441, SE 10th Avenue, the Applicant's Traffic Impact Analysis has shown this to be insignificant in relation to the existing and adopted levels of service. The traffic analysis also shows that SE 13th Avenue may experience an increase in traffic as a result of a possible secondary access at the southeast comer of the property, but this will also be negligible. . 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, . or otherwise affect public safety. The Applicant's traffic impact analysis indicates that the proposed use will not reduce the level of service on the affected roadways and have only negligible impacts upon nearby major roadways and local roads. A stormwater management system will be designed to meet standards developed by the oversight agencies to address flooding and drainage. Management systems designed to these standards will result in lower potential for off-site flooding and drainage impacts. No negative affects on public safety will occur as a result of the proposed use. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. 10. No. The only restrictions on the proposed uses are those commonly applied to commercial uses in the City's Comprehensive Plan and its Land Development Regulations. Recommendation Staff recommends approvaL of the request to allow rezoning from RMF to CHV permitting the applicant to develop commercial uses on the subject property. Submitted by: James G.

Proposed Prolect Description Okeechobee SR70 Holding, LLC proposes to develop the 6.28 acre site into a commer- cial node that will consist of an 85 room national chain quality hotel, an approximate 3,400 square foot bank branch office, an approximate 5,800 square foot national chain, full service, restaurant, as City of Okeechobee land development regulations dictate. A shared access driveway with the US Post Office, located adjacent to the west property line, is the proposed main access driveway from SR70. Anadditional secondary access driveway to SE 13 th Avenue at the south extent of the project is also proposed. The most recent site plan locates the hotel along the west property line and allows full traffic circulation around the hotel. The bank and restaurant are both located along the SR70 frontage with associated parking internal to the property. Full traffic circulation through the project, between the two access drives, and to each of the proposed uses is achieved in the design. The south one quarter of the site is dedicated to storm water retention. 2. Findings Required for Granting Petitions Per the City of Okeechobee land development regulations section 70-340 the following addresses the nine listed items as they relate to the requested zoning change. 1) The use is not contrary to comprehensive plan requirements. Presently, the site's underlying future land use designation does not support the requested zoning change. A small scale comprehensive plan amendment is being requested to address this inconsistency. However, the proposed use and requested zoning change is not contrary to the provisions of the comprehensive plan and as part of the amendment request, consistencies with the comprehensive plan are being presented. 2) The use is specifically authorized under the zoning district regulations applied for. The proposed uses; hotel, bank and restaurant are all uses specifically authorized under the requested CHV zoning district. 10 Staff Report Rezoning Request Applicant: Okeechobee SR70 Holdings, LLC Petition No.: 07-011-R 3) The use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. Per the Okeechobee Utility Authority a sufficient excess capacity of potable water and wastewater treatment is available for the proposed use and intensity. A traffic impact analysis was prepared as required for this zone change request and indicates no lowering of level of service in the roadway system as a result of this develop- ment at maximum intensity. 4) The use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent uses, and is not contrary or detrimental urbanizing land use patterns. The SR70 corridor within the City of Okeechobee is continuing to develop into a commercial node. This location is very suitable for the proposed uses as SR70is a principal arterial that supports a significant portion of City thoroughfare traffic. Providing these services at this location keeps through traffic off other major and minor collectors and local roadways. Compatible uses and zoning districts presently exist on three (3) sides of the site. Along the north side of SR70 the zoning is CHV. A full service US Post Office operates adjacent to and west of the site. A convenience store and equipment repair operation are adjacent and east of the site for approximately 400 feet south of the SR70 south right-of-way. The balance of the east property line borders single-family residences and SE 13th A venue and the south property line also borders single-family residences. The proposed site plan locates all the stormwater management retention facility in the south portion of the site providing a large buffer between the proposed commercial uses and the adjacent residential uses. 5) The use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be a deterrent to the improvement or development of the adjacent property. The affect of the proposed use on the properties adjacent along the north west and east property boundaries will be to increase property values and promote improve- ment and development since these properties are of a similar use and are either presently undeveloped or of a lesser quality development. No adverse impact will occur to the single-family development to the south and southeast since the pro- posed uses will be effectively buffered along the project site perimeter. 6) The use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood. As stated above the only non-similar uses bordering the property occur along the south and south third of the east property boundaries. The proposed storm water retention facility will provide a wide buffer to the south. Also, the project will have a minimum IO-foot wide landscape buffer along its entire perimeter. 11 Staff Report Rezoning Request Applicant: Okeechobee SR70 Holdings, LLC Petition No.: 07-011-R 7) The use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools~ streets and utility services. The density pattern has already been established in the area surrounding the site and the site is the only remaining property south along the SR70 that is not yet consistent with the established density pattern. 8) The use will not create traffic congestion~ flooding or drainage problems~ or otherwise affect public safety. As indicated above, the traffic impact analysis prepared for this zoning change request indicates that the proposed use will not reduce the level of service on the affected roadways. In the course of the development approval it will be necessary that a stormwater management system be designed to meet standards developed by the oversight agencies to address flooding and drainage. Management systems designed to these standards will result in lower potential for off-site flooding and drainage impacts. No negative affects on public safety will occur as a result of the proposed use. 9) The use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. The proposed use is a common and low impact use that is specifically addressed without excessive restrictions in the City of Okeechobee land development regulations. 12 :.8' ._.. . '1'. .e..SEEU.

This ordinance changes the zoning district from RMF to CHV for approximately 6.27 acre(s) of unplatted property, located at 1108 North Park Street, East. There were 52 notices sent to the surrounding property owners with two responses, John and Kim Burnett of 177 Southeast Avenue, as referenced in connection with the future land use change application No. 07-012-SSA. The property was posted with a sign advertising the request of the rezoning, dates and times of both the Planning Board and City Council public hearings. The Planning Board reviewed the rezoning petition at their October 18, 2007 meeting and voted unanimously to find the rezoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. They are recommending the City Council approve the rezoning with the stipulation that the level of traffic stays stable as indicated in the applicant's traffic analysis relative to the type of business. Mr. Brisson briefly reviewed the petition. It meets all rezoning criteria and Planning Staff is recommending approval. Council Member Watford asked whether a zoning stipulation could be added since there is such a traffic impact? Mr. Brisson replied that should the project be different, than what is proposed in the traffic analysis, they would have to resubmit a new traffic analysis. Attorney Cook added the rezoning will not be "reconsidered," but a new traffic analysis will have to be presented for any thing other than what is being presented now. KIRK - YEA C.

Williams moved to read by title only, proposed Ordinance NO.1 001 regarding Rezoning Petition No. 07-011-R, submitted by Kelly Kite on behalf of Okeechobee SR70 LLC to change the zoning designation from RMF to CHV on 6.27 unplatted acres located at 1108 North Park Street, East; seconded by Council Member C. Williams. KIRK - ABSENT C. WILLIAMS - YEA VOTE MARKHAM - YEA L. WILLIAMS - YEA WATFORD- YEA MOTION CARRIED. Attorney Cook read proposed Ordinance No. 1001 by title only as follows: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA; AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF OKEECHOBEE BY REZONING A CERTAIN TRACT OF LAND MORE PARTICULARL Y DESCRIBED HEREIN, FROM RESIDENTIAL MUL TIPLE FAMILY (RMF) ZONING DISTRICT TO HEAVY COMMERCIAL (CHV) ZONING DISTRICT; AMENDING THE ZONING MAP ACCORDINGL Y; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DA TE." 29 DECEMBER 4,2007 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 3 OF 18 VII. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. A. 2. a) Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 1001. Council Member Markham moved to adopt proposed Ordinance No.1 001; seconded by Council Member C. Williams. b) Public comments and discussion. A Future Land Use Map Amendment (Application No. 07 -012-SSA), for this property was approved at the November 6,2007 City Council meeting. On the site is a vacant single-family residence. The northern portion of the property encompassing about 0.8 acres, fronting North East Park Street (a1k/a State Road 70 East) to a depth of about 110 feet is already zoned CHV and is the location for the proposed bank and restaurant. On the southern 5.5 acres, the applicant is proposing to develop an 85-room hotel and is the subject of the requested rezoning. However, should the rezoning be approved, the Applicant, or any future owner of the property, will not be required to limit future development of the site to any specific use, but may develop any use allowable within the CHV zoning district. There were 52 notices mailed to the surrounding property owners with two responses objecting to the rezoning, John and Kim Burnett of 177 Southeast Avenue. The property was posted with a sign advertising the request of the rezoning, dates and times of both the Planning Board and City Council public hearings. The Planning Board reviewed the rezoning petition at their October 18, 2007 meeting and voted unanimously to find the rezoning cor.sistent with the Comprehensive Plan. They are recommending the City Council approve the rezoning with the stipulation that the level of traffic stays stable as indicated in the applicant's traffic analysis relative to the type of businesses proposed. Mr. Brisson reviewed Planning Staff Report findings as follows: 1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements, as the proposed uses noted above are contemplated in the Commercial land use category and allowed under the requested CHV zoning. 2. The proposed use being applied for, a hotel, bank and restaurant, is specifically identified as permitted uses within the CHV zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. 3. The request will not adversely affect the public interest. The Applicant has provided letters from the Okeechobee Utility Authority confirming that the Authority has adequate capacity to provide for the potable water supply and wastewater disposal needs associated with the proposed project. The County has recently confirmed a considerable level of excess capacity available to serve the solid waste disposal needs of other major developments in the City. It appears reasonable that the volume of solid waste associated with a development of this size can also be accommodated within the capacity of the County's Solid Waste Facility. The City's adopted level of service standard (LOSS) for SR 70 and US 441/SR 7 is "C" and for local roads are "D." The Applicant has furnished a revised Traffic Impact Analysis addressing questions and concerns initially posed by the Staff and which shows that the impact of the proposed project on SR 70, US 441/SR 7, and SE 10th and SE 13th Avenues will be insignificant. 30 DECEMBER 4,2007 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 4 OF 18 VII. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. A. 2. b) Public comments and discussion on the adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 1001 continued. 3. Continued. In none of these cases does the projecfs impact amount to as much as 5 percent of the traffic volume associated with adopted level of service for these roadways. Therefore, the Applicant has stated that the project is deemed not to have a significant impact on these roadways. Staff has identified a few additional areas where corrections or additional analyses are needed and has provided the Applicant with the comments. The Applicant provided the changes at the Planning Board meeting. I SR 70, and US 441 South of SR 70, are constrained roadways and are presently operating at traffic volumes in excess of their design capacities. This is commonly referred to as operating at a level of service liP'. In fact, after construction of this development these roadways will be operating between 20 and 70 percent over their design capacities for both daily traffic and the PM Peak period. This is officially referred to as operating a vehicle to capacity ratio, between 1.2 and 1.7. While the Applicant's contribution to this situation is relatively minimal, the cumulative impact of new developments in the future is of considerable concern to us. Since any additional traffic to these roadways will only continue to make matters worse, we suggest that the City consider implementing a policy that would not allow approval of any future requests for rezoning or amendments to the comprehensive plan that will increase the density or intensity I on lands that will generate traffic onto these constrained roadways. The project will also affect two local roadways: SE 10th and 13th Avenues. The impacts on these local roads are projected to represent only 4.29 percent and 5.36 percent, respectively, of the levels of service of these roadways and will not degrade their level of service below LOS D. However, since the intersection of SR 70 and SE 10th Avenue '1ails" in three approaches, and on an overall basis, at the PM Peak, with or without the traffic generated by the project, the Applicant will need to contribute at the development order stage its fair share of the cost of making the necessary improvements (Le., whether through signal timing adjustments within the existing geometry of the intersection or any turn lane improvements that might mitigate a failing situation). This may also be the case for the intersection of SR 70 and SE 13th Avenue. Further, it should be noted that the projected traffic and associated effects upon the aforementioned roadway are based on a development scenario involving 85 hotels rooms, 3,400 square feet of branch bank offices, a 5,800 square foot high-turnover sit-down restaurant. To the extent that the requested amendment is found to be within acceptable traffic generation parameters, it is based only on a project of a similar intensity. If a different development of differing character and greater intensity should be proposed in the future, it would be subject to additional concurrency review. 4. The use was found to be appropriate for the location proposed, as it is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses and is not contrary to detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. ' I DECEMBER 4,2007 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 5 OF 18 31 VII. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. A. 2. b) Public comments and discussion on the adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 1001 continued. 4. Continued. Further, a major land use amendment to Commercial and rezoning to CHV has been approved on about 16 acres on the North side of SR 70, paving way for a major commercial concentration in the immediate vicinity. Frontage on the south side of SR 70 (the site of associated out-parcels) already carries a Commercial land use designation and CHV zoning. The full service U. S. Post Office is located immediately to the west of the subject property and a convenience store and equipment repair operation are adjacent to the northeast portion of the site. The properties to the south of the property are vacant, but are designated Single-Family on the Future Land Use Map but are zoned RMF. When developed, this area will likely be in residential use. This potential residential area can be protected from the effects of the proposed commercial development through the use of stormwater retention facilities as a spatial buffer. 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 most likely effect on nearby property will be to promote improvement and redevelopment of the adjacent commercial properties, as these are either undeveloped or of a lesser quality development than the proposed use. Vacant, residentially designated properties to the south should not be adversely affected as they will likely be separated from the proposed commercial uses by areas likely to be used for drainage retention. 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. However, care will need to be taken to ensure that the four existing single-family homes immediately east of the proposed development (fronting on SE 13th Avenue) are adequately buffered toreduce the likely impacts of the proposed commercial development nearby. 7. The proposed uses will be commercial and will not create an inappropriate density pattern nor have any impact on schools, and the utility needs of the project are within the available capacities of the local utility providers. The proposed commercial use are consistent with the pattern of intensity established or anticipated in the area. While there will be some increase in traffic on SR 70, US 441, SE 10th Avenue, the Applicant's Traffic Impact Analysis has shown this to be insignificant in relation to the existing and adopted levels of service. The traffic analysis also shows that SE 13th Avenue may experience an increase in traffic as a result of a pOSSible secondary access at the southeast corner of the property, but this will also be negligible. 32 DECEMBER 4,2007 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 6 OF 18 VII. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED. A. 2. b) Public comments and discussion on the adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 1001 continued. c) Vote on motion. B. 1. a) Motion to read by title only proposed Ordinance No. 1002 regarding Rezoning Petition No. 07-013-R, submitted by Jose Rasco on behalf of property owner 15th Street Homes LLC, to change the zoning designation from Residential Single Family-One (RSF-1) and Holding (H) Zoning Districts to Planned Unit Development- Residential (PUD-R) Zoning District on a certain tract of land consisting of 50.478 acres - City Planning Consultant (Exhibit 2). b) Vote on motion to read by title only. 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. The Applicant's traffic impact analysis indicates that the proposed use will not reduce the level of service on the affected roadways and have only negligible impacts upon nearby major roadways and local roads. A stormwater management system will be designed to meet standards developed by the oversight agencies to address flooding and drainage. Management systems designed to these standards will result in lower potential for oft-site flooding and drainage impacts. No negative affects on public safety will occur as a result of the proposed use. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. The only restrictions on the proposed uses are those commonly applied to commercial uses in the City's Comprehensive Plan and its Land Development Regulations. I Mayor Pro-Tem Watford yielded the floor to the applicant for further information regarding the project. Mr. Vitter of Kimley-Horn and Mr. Kelly Kite introduced themselves and briefly addressed the buffering issue, stating that they knew it was a matter to be addressed during site plan review and that there is no ambiguity to this understanding, they will I build the appropriate" barrier and bear the expense of the costs associated with constructing the appropriate barrier. It was then asked whether there were any comments or questions from the public? There were none. KIRK - ABSENT C. WILLIAMS - YEA VOTE MARKHAM - YEA L. WILLIAMS - YEA WATFORD- YEA MOTION CARRIED.
