The matter for consideration by the City of Okeechobee Board of Adjustment is a request to approve a Special Exception to allow one residential dwelling unit on the second floor of an existing two-story commercial building. The property is designated Commercial on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and zoned CHV, Heavy Commercial. City Code Section 90-283 lists "One dwelling unit per commercial building, provided that the dwelling unit is located either above or behind the ground floor commercial use" as a special exception use in the CHV district. According to the application, the first -floor use is restaurant/lounge and the second floor was formerly used as a residence. The application also included floor plans showing that 475 square feet of the second floor is proposed to be used for a studio apartment style dwelling unit and that access to the unit will be available from an external stairway at the rear of the building. The remainder of the upstairs area is shown on the floor plan as reserved for storage. In total, the subject building is 2,801 square feet and is nonconforming to the current setback requirements. The lot is 10,700 square feet and is nonconforming to the landscaping requirements and the maximum impervious surface requirement. As there appears to be very little striping remaining on the pavement which would designate parking spaces, the property is also nonconforming to the parking standards. Section 70-373(b) requires that the Applicant address the following standards for granting a Special Exception during his/her presentation to the Board of Adjustment. The Applicant has submitted, as part of the submission, brief statements and information addressing these standards. These are repeated below in Times Roman typeface exactly as provided by the Applicant. Staff has made no attempt to correct typos, grammar, or clarify the Applicant's comments. Staff comments follow and are shown in Arial typeface. (1) Demonstrate that the proposed location and site are appropriate for the use. APPLICANT RESPONSE: The parcel to the North of 605 NE Park is a residence. STAFF COMMENTS: "One dwelling unit per commercial building, provided that the dwelling unit is located either above or behind the ground floor commercial use" is L.Kuc 2 ptanni.ng Staff Report Applicant: Bashar 605, LLC Special Exception Request Petition No. 21-001 -SE specifically listed as a special exception use in the CHV zoning district. The proposed dwelling unit will be located above the existing ground floor commercial use. There is no other specific guidance provided in the code regarding the appropriateness of a site for mixed use in the CHV district. (2) Demonstrate how the site and proposed buildings have been designed so they are compatible with the adjacent uses and the neighborhood, or explain why no specific design efforts are needed. APPLICANT RESPONSE: New buildings are not proposed. STAFF COMMENTS: This proposed residential use is not expected to negatively affect adjacent uses. We agree that no changes to the design of the building will be necessary to ensure compatibility. (3) Demonstrate any landscaping techniques to visually screen the use from adjacent uses; or explain why no visual screening is necessary. APPLICANT RESPONSE: The parcel to the north of the building is a residence. Since the proposed exception is residential use on the second floor of a building that is used for commerce, there are not any new proposed buildings, traffic will not be impacted, and additional landscaping is not required. Residential use on the second floor is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and permitted by Ordinance. Water and sewer utility service already is provided to the entire building. No nuisances or potential problems are implicated by residential use on the second floor. STAFF COMMENTS: Though the property is nonconforming to the landscape standards, which include provisions for landscape screening/buffering, this proposed residential use will not increase those existing nonconformities and the use will be contained within the existing structure. No additional screening should be necessary to approve this residence. (4) Demonstrate what is proposed to reduce the impacts of any potential hazards, problems or public nuisance generated by the use or explain how the nature of the use creates no such potential problems. APPLICANT RESPONSE: No potential problems or hazards are implicated by having one residential unit on the second floor. STAFF COMMENTS: We agree that any nuisances created by allowing the proposed dwelling unit will be the responsibility of the landlord to mediate between the residential and commercial tenants of the building. It is unlikely that this use would create any nuisances that would affect other uses beyond the subject property. LIK„r 3 Planning Staff Report Applicant: Bashar 605, LLC Special Exception Request Petition No. 21-001 -SE (5) Demonstrate how the utilities and other service requirements of the use can be met. APPLICANT RESPONSE: The Okeechobee Utility Authority already provides water and sewer utility service to the entire building. STAFF COMMENTS: The proposed studio dwelling unit should not significantly affect OUA's ability to continue to provide services or utilities. (6) Demonstrate how the impact of traffic generation will be handled off site and on -site. APPLICANT RESPONSE: One residential unit on the second floor will not impact traffic. Ample parking space is available. STAFF COMMENTS: City Code requires 1.75 parking spaces for each one -bedroom multifamily dwelling unit. Since there is only one unit proposed, 1.75 would be rounded up to 2 spaces. This site should be able to accommodate the 2 parking spaces that are required for this dwelling unit, in addition to what would be required for the remaining commercial space. When reaching a conclusion on a Special Exception request, the Board of Adjustment shall consider and show in its record the following findings as set forth in Section 70-373(c)(1)-(8). The required findings are listed below followed by the Applicant's statements in Times Roman typeface exactly as provided by the Applicant. Staff has made no attempt to correct typos, grammar, or clarify the Applicant's comments. Staff comments follow and are shown in Arial typeface. (1) The use is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan requirements. APPLICANT RESPONSE: The use of part of the second floor as one residential unit is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan. STAFF COMMENTS: This applicant's request is not contrary to the requirements of the City's Comprehensive Plan. (2) The use is specifically authorized as a special exception use in the zoning district. APPLICANT RESPONSE: Sec. 90-283(17) permits a special exception to be granted so that there can be one residential on the second floor of a commercial building. STAFF COMMENTS: Agreed (3) The use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. APPLICANT RESPONSE: Providing one residential unit is in the public's interest, not contrary to it. STAFF COMMENTS: Agreed t aK,. 4 planning Staff Report Applicant: Bashar 605, LLC Special Exception Request Petition No. 21-001 -SE (4) The use is appropriate for the proposed location, is reasonably compatible with adjacent uses and is not detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. APPLICANT RESPONSE: The parcel to the north is a residential unit. The proposed use is compatible with adjacent uses and not detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. STAFF COMMENTS: Agreed (5) The use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be a deterrent to the development of adjacent property. APPLICANT RESPONSE: The proposed addition of a residential unit will increase property values and provide a home for someone. It will not impact the development of neighboring property. STAFF COMMENTS: This use should not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be a deterrent to the development of adjacent property. (6) The use may be required to be screened from surrounding uses to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to adjacent uses. APPLICANT RESPONSE: No nuisance or hazard will be caused by having one residential unit on the second floor of the building. STAFF COMMENTS: Agreed. No additional screening should be necessary. (7) The use will not create a density pattern that will overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. APPLICANT RESPONSE: One residential unit will not create a density pattern of any kind. STAFF COMMENTS: The requested conversion of uses should not have a significant impact on water, sewer or transportation facilities. This studio dwelling unit will not significantly impact the County school system. 8) The use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. APPLICANT RESPONSE: One residential unit will not create traffic congestion or flood or drainage problems, nor will it affect public safety. STAFF COMMENTS: Allowing a dwelling unit within this existing structure should not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. 1 *111 5 Planning Staff Report Applicant: Bashar 605, LLC Special Exception Request Petition No. 21-001 -SE Based on the foregoing analysis, we find the requested Special Exception to be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, reasonably compatible with adjacent uses, and consistent with the urbanizing pattern of the area and recommend approval of the special exception to allow 425 square feet on the second floor of this existing commercial building to be used for one residential dwelling unit.

The use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. Providing one residential unit is in the public's interest, not contrary to it. 4. The use is appropriate for the proposed location, is reasonably compatible with adjacent uses and is not detrimental to urbanizing land usepatterns. The parcel to the north is a residential unit. The proposed use is compatible with adjacent uses and not detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. 5. The use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be a deterrent to the development of adjacent property. The proposed addition of a residential unit will increase property values and provide a home for someone. It will not impact the development of neighboring property. 6. The use may be required to be screened from surrounding uses to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to adjacent uses. No nuisance or hazard will be caused by having one residential unit on the second floor of the building. 7. The use will not create a density pattern that will overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. One residential unit will not create a density pattern of any kind. 8. The use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. One residential unit will not create traffic congestion or flood or drainage problems, nor will it affect public safety. The City staff will, in the Staff Report, address the request and evaluate it and the Applicant's submission in light of the above standards and required findings and offer a recommendation for approval or denial.

According to the very basic floor plan they've provided for the upstairs, the dwelling unit is only 475 square feet. However, this is not a zoning violation, as there is no minimum living area standard for the CHV district. Before we take this to the Board of Adjustment, I just wanted to check with you in case you see any issues regarding building code compliance. Please let me know if you have any concerns.
