IV. PRESENTATIONS AND PROCLAMATIONS CONTINUED
C. Mrs. Robin Brock was honored for her 22 years of service and presented with a Certificate of
Retirement by Mayor Watford and Administrator Gary Ritter. She was accompanied by her
husband Tommie Brock, her parents Mr. Lindell and Mrs. Virginia Selvey, her daughters and
several grandchildren. The Certificate was read into the record as follows: "Whereas, Mrs. Robin L.
Brock, began her municipal public service career on November 3, 2000, in the Administration Department
under the direction of City Administrator Bill Veach; and Whereas, during her tenure, her duties and
responsibilities expanded, changing her job title from Administrative Secretary to Executive Secretary,
and then to Executive Assistant; and Whereas, being admired by her co-workers as impartial and fair, was
elected to represent the Administration Department, General Services Department, and Office of the City
Clerk employees on the Employee Grievance Committee for nineteen years, serving from January 2001
through December 2008, and from January 2012 to present day; and Whereas, Robin was elected to the
Board of Trustees by her co-workers to represent their interests on the General Employees' Pension Fund,
from January 20, 2006 through November 10, 2008; and Whereas, in addition to Mr. Veach she also served,
but more importantly trained, City Administrators Brian Whitehall, Marcos Montes De Oca, and Gary Ritter,
as well as Interim City Administrator John Cook. Upon her retirement, Robin will have served longer thian
any other person in this position since its creation in 1980. Furthermore, because of her direct
responsibilities, it is only fitting to include the elected officials she confidently served, which are Mayors
James E. Kirk and Dowling R. Watford, Jr., two City Clerks, and 12 City Council Members. And we would
be remiss not to mention the two City Attorneys, John R. Cook, and John J. Fumero. Now, Therefore, this
Certificate is presented on this 18th day of October 2022, to recognize Robin's 22 years of faithful service
and her official retirement date of October 31, 2022. She will always be known for her incredible work ethic,

difference you have made. We Will Miss You!"

Description of Request and Existing Conditions
The request for consideration by the City of Okeechobee Planning Board is a city -initiated Amendment to
the Future Land Use Map of the City's Comprehensive Plan to change the future land use designation of
the subject 0.325-acre vacant parcel from Public Facilities to Single -Family Residential. The City is also
submitting a concurrent Rezoning Application to rezone the subject property from Public Use to
Residential Single Family -One (RSF-1). The property previously contained the City water tower and has
since been used as a public works storage yard. As the site is no longer being utilized by the City and has
been cleaned up, the City intends to list this property for sale and is undertaking these actions prior to
listing. The property is located on the southern boundary of the City limit, with unincorporated

Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Staff Report

Petition No. 22-006-SSA
Okeechobee County to the south. Based on the size of the property, per Chapter 163.3187 F.S., this
application qualifies as a Small -Scale Amendment (SSA) to the Comprehensive Plan.
Current Maximum Development Potential as Public Facilities
The property is currently designated Public Facilities on the City of Okeechobee Future Land Use Map. Thie
Public Facilities FLU allows for permitted uses including parks, schools, government buildings, fire stations,
other recreational and non -recreational public properties, and accessory uses customary to permissible
uses; and a maximum impervious surface coverage of 85%. Residential uses are not permitted at any
density. The corresponding Public Use zoning district allows for a maximum of 50% building coverage and
45 feet maximum building height.
Maximum Development Potential as Residential Single -Family
No specific plans are proposed at this time. However, if this map change is approved, the property may
be developed according to standards of the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Code
pertaining to the Single -Family Residential FLU and to the corresponding residential zoning districts. The
Single -Family Residential Future Land Use allows a maximum density of four dwelling units per acre for
residential units on individual lots. Additionally, mobile home parks are allowed six units per acre and the
maximum density for affordable housing is 5 units per acre. The subject property has a maximum
development potential 1.3 single-family residential dwelling units, which realistically equates to one (1.)
single family residence.
Estimates of Demand
The realistic maximum development potential on the subject property is one (1) dwelling unit. The
following calculations are based on the US Census Bureau 2020 average persons per household in the
City of Okeechobee for the Single -Family Residential Future Land Use:
Potable Water: 114 gallons per person per day (gppd) x 2.84 persons per household (pph) = 323.76 gpd
Sanitary Sewer: 114 gallons per person per day (gppd) x 2.84 persons per household (pph) = 323.76 gpd
Service Availability
The Okeechobee Utility Authority has identified sufficient capacity to provide sanitary sewer and
potable water to the subject water. The development potential of the property permits a maximum of 1
residential dwelling unit, which is not expected to impact the solid waste and public -school services that
are available to the surrounding properties.
Environmental Impacts
The subject property is currently vacant and partially cleared of vegetation. The prior uses of the
property make it highly unlikely that unique habitats, wetlands, incompatible soil types, and flood prone
areas would be located on the subject property. Additionally, the improvements to the property and the
CITY OF OKEECHOBEE MORRIS
DEPEW
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 09/06/2022
Staff Report Petition No. 22-006-SSA
surrounding development pattern discourage the presence of any endangered species of wildlife and
plants from populating the site.
Internal Consistency with the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan
The Administratively Initiated Application for Comprehensive Plan Amendment requires that the
Applicant demonstrate consistency with the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan and provides a
series of consistency questions that the Applicant, The City of Okeechobee, must respond to.
1. Discuss how the proposal affects established City of Okeechobee population projections.
The development potential for the 0.325 acres is 1.3 single family dwelling units, which
realistically equates to 1 single family residence, which will not have a substantial impact on the
City of Okeechobee population projections. A concurrent application to rezone the subject
property from Public (PUB) to Residential Single Family (RSF1) is proposed, which will further limit
potential for any higher density development.
2. List all goals and objectives of the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan that are affected by
the proposed amendment. This analysis should include an evaluation of all relevant policies
under each goal and objective.
Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2: In accordance with property rights policies adopted
by the Central Florida Regional Planning Council in the Central Florida Regional Policy Plan,
the City of Okeechobee recognizes and shall continue to protect private property rights. In
implementing the Comprehensive Plan, the City shall continue 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. Planning for land use and public
facilities in the City shall consider private property rights, and ensure citizen input into
government land use decisions affecting property rights.
Future Land Use Element Policy 2.5: The City shall amend its Future Land Use Map, as
necessary, to address inconsistent land use areas.
Future Land Use Element 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 shall discourage urban sprawl.
The subject property is adjacent to single-family residential dwelling units to the north, the south,
the east, and to the west. The proposed Future Land Use map amendment will allow for
development of the subject property consistent with the surrounding existing land uses. Allowing;
for residential development of the subject property, which is within an existing residential
neighborhood, can also be considered infill development, which curtails sprawl, if only to a
modest degree.
Housing Element Policy 1.1: New residential development shall continue to be permitted
only where facilities and services such as roads, sanitary sewer, and potable water are
available and adequate, or where such facilities and services are programmed to be
provided during the planning period, based on a fair -share distribution of costs.

Comprehensive Plan"Amendment 09/06/2022
Staff Report Petition No. 22-006-SSA
The subject property can be accessed from both Southwest 3`d Avenue and Southwest 23d Street.
The Okeechobee Utility Authority has identified that sanitary sewer and potable water is in place
to serve the subject property. In addition, all emergency and municipal services are available and
adequate to serve the subject property and the surrounding residentially neighborhood.
3. Describe how the proposal affects the County's Comprehensive Plan as it relates to adjacent
unincorporated areas.
The adjacent unincorporated area to the south is designated Commercial Corridor Mixed Use on
the County's Future Land Use Map. While description of this land use category indicates the area
is intended for predominantly commercial land uses in the future, the category also allows for
residential; and in fact, the zoning and existing land uses are single family residential. The
proposed amendment is compatible with the surrounding area.
4. List State Policy Plan and Regional Policy Plan goals and policies that are relevant to this plan
amendment.
Consistent with FS. 163.3187(1)(c), the subject property is not located within an area of critical
state concern.
Recommendation
The City of Okeechobee is proposing an administratively initiated map amendment to prepare the subject
property, which is no longer being used for municipal purposes, to be listed for sale. The subject property
is bounded on all sides by existing residential development. Though the current PUB Future Land Use
designation is not incompatible with the surrounding area, the proposed Single Family Residential
designation is more consistent with the surrounding designations and pattern of land use.
Additionally, the market demand for residential remains high. Any potential buyer of the subject property
will be enabled to proceed with development of a residential dwelling upon purchase, which should
increase the attractiveness and value of the property to potential buyers. Conversely, the Public Facility
land use may not be as attractive to as many buyers. If the City's goal is to sell this property, the proposed
map amendment is advisable. Based on the foregoing analysis, staff recommends approval of the
requested Future Land Use Map change from Public Facilities to Single Family Residential.
