Historical Society as a museum. A Facility Use License agreement for this arrangement has already been
executed between the City and the Historical Society.
Consistency with LDC Section 70-340
City LDC Section 70-340 requires that applicants for rezoning requests must address the following
sta nda rds.
1) The request is not contrary to comprehensive plan requirements
Staff Response: The City of Okeechobee is submitting this request concurrent with a Future Land
Use Map Amendment Application to designate the property as Public Facilities on the City of
Okeechobee Future Land Use Map. Per Policy 2.1(f) of the City of Okeechobee Comprehensive
Plan, Public Use (PUB) is an appropriate district within the proposed Future Land Use.
2) The use is specifically authorized under the zoning district regulations applied for.
Staff Response: Per Sec. 90-372, public uses are allowable in the PUB district. The proposed use
of the subject property for a public museum is authorized under the PUB zoning district
regulations.
3) Approval of the request will not have an adverse effect on the public interest
Staff Response: The Okeechobee Historical Society is proposing to use of the subject property as
a museum, with the purpose of educate the public about the history of the City of Okeechobee.
Approval of the request will allow more flexibility to use the site for that purpose and is of benefit
to the public interest.
4) The use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent uses, and is
not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns
Staff Response: The proposed use will utilize the existing structure on the subject property, which
has existed for over 100 years The existing structure is a long-standing part of the surrounding
land use pattern and repurposing the structure for a museum will not be detrimental to the
neighborhood. The museum will occupy the existing structure, which is reasonably compatible
with the adjacent uses.
5) Approval of the request will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be a deterrent
to the improvement or development of adjacent properties
Staff Response: The subject property is already developed and the requested rezoning to Public
Use would allow the Okeechobee Historical Society to repurpose the existing structure, which
would not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be a deterrent to the
improvement or development of adjacent properties.
6) The use can be suitable buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or
hazard to the neighborhood

Rezoning Request 09/02/2022
Staff Report Petition No. 22-007-R
Staff Response: The proposed use of the subject property will be subject to all Land
Development Code required buffers within the Public Use zoning district.
7) Approval of the request will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such
as schools, streets, and utility services
Staff Response: The proposed use is a museum, which will not include residential density. As a
result, the proposed use will not overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility
services.
8) Approval of the request will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise
affect public safety
Staff Response: The proposed use is not expected to generate significant traffic congestion. The
request would not create any flooding or drainage problems or cause any detriment to public
safety.
9) The use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions
Staff Response: The proposed rezoning from Residential Single Family -One to Public Use and the
concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment will provide greater flexibility in zoning
regulations.
Recommendation
The subject property is currently zoned Residential Single Family -One and developed with a church, which
is currently not in use. The City of Okeechobee is proposing to rezone the property to Public Use,
contingent on a concurrent Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from Single -Family Residential to
Public Facilities FLU. Staff recommends approval of this request, so that the City can move forward in
partnership with the Okeechobee Historical Society, to enact the plan of operating a museum on this site
and to provide more flexibility in that purpose.
