No employees-just the owner/therapist. No outside activities. Attach a Traffic Impact Study prepared by a professional transportation planner or transportation engineer,if the special exception or proposed use will generate 100 or more peak hour vehicle trip ends using the trip generation factors for the most D similar use as contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineers most recent edition of Trip Generation. The TIA must identify the number of net new external trips,pass-bay calculations,internal capture calculations,a.m.and p.m.peak hour trips,and level of service on all adjacent roadway links with and without the project. E Responses addressing the standards and required findings for a special exception as described below.Attach additional sheets as necessary. STANDARDS FOR GRANTING A SPECIAL EXCEPTION[Sec.70-373(b),LDR page CD70:19] Applicants are required by Sec.70-373(b)to address the following issues in his/her presentation before the Board of Adjustment. Staff strongly recommends that the Applicant include,in his/her application,materials that address each of these issues in order to allow Staff and the Board of Adjustment sufficient time to adequately consider the Applicant's request. 1. Demonstrate that the proposed location and site are appropriate for the use. A massage therapist offers quiet services to a limited clientele that will not affect the other existing tenants within the building. 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. No outside evidence of this tenant will be visible. No changes to the exterior of the existing building will occur due to this type of tenant. Years ago,this building had a hair salon as a tenant. 3. Demonstrate any landscaping techniques to visually screen the use from adjacent uses; or explain why no visual screening is necessary. Due to the second floor location,this is not applicable. 4. Demonstrate what is proposed to reduce the impact 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. Landlord shall hold the massage therapist tenant to the same standards of care as all other tenants. 5. Demonstrate how the utilities and other service requirements of the use can be met. The existing building is serviced for water/sewer by OUA and paid for by the Landlord. All rental units have their own electric meter and are responsible for establishing an account with FPL and paying the monthly bills. 6. Demonstrate how the impact of traffic generated will be handled,off site and on site. Due to the limited clientele of the proposed tenant,there will be little,if any,additional traffic generated by the massage therapy service. (Rev 4/2020) Page 8 of 11 FINDINGS REQUIRED FOR GRANTING A SPECIAL EXCEPTION[Sec.70-373(c),LDR pages 19&20] It is the Applicant's responsibility to convince the Board of Adjustment that approval of the proposed special exception is justified. Specifically,the Applicant should provide in his/her application and presentation sufficient explanation and documentation to convince the Board of Adjustment to find that: 1. The use is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan requirements. Allowing a massage therapist to occupy a 2-floor unit within the building will have little,if any,impact on the existing tenants or the neighboring properties. 2. The use is specifically authorized as a special exception use in the zoning district. Yes,Sec.90-223-Special Exception Uses allows an exception for"personal services" 3. The use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. No 4. The use is appropriate for the proposed location,is reasonably compatible with adjacent uses and is not detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. Yes-see answer to question#1 above. 5. The use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions,nor be a deterrent to the development of adjacent property. No-see answer to question #1 above. 6. The use may be required to be screened from surrounding uses to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to adjacent uses. This is not applicable-proposed tenant suite is located on the 2nd floor of an existing building. 7. The use will not create a density pattern that will overburden public facilities such as schools,streets,and utility services. This is not applicable-a tenant occupying an existing commercial suite will not have any affect on public facilities. 8. The use will not create traffic congestion,flooding or drainage problems,or otherwise affect public safety. No 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.

CHAIRPERSON HOOVER OPENED THE QUASI-JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARING AT 6:06 P.M. A. Attorney Fumero briefly reviewed the Planning Staff Report for Special Exception Petition No. 20-003-SE which requests to allow a proposed use of one dwelling unit per commercial building in a Commercial Professional Office (CPO) Zoning District, (Ref Sec 90-223(12)) on 0.688± acres located at 406 NW 3rd Street. The Applicant is requesting to convert 1,029 square feet of office space on the second floor of an existing office building to a residential dwelling unit. The floor plans submitted show a two-bedroom, two- bathroom residential dwelling unit that will be accessible from both an external and internal stairway. Planning Staff recommends approval of the Special Exception request based on it being consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, reasonably compatible with adjacent uses, and consistent with the urbanizing pattern of the area. 1. This being a quasi-judicial proceeding, Notary Public Patty Burnette administered an oath to those intending to offer testimony, all responded affirmatively, stated their names and addresses for the record. Mr. John Fumero, City Attorney, Nason, Yeager, Gerson, Harris and Fumero, P.A., 3001 PGA Boulevard, Suite 305, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. I\D CO IV. QUASI-JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARING ITEM CONTINUED 4. No disclosures of Ex-Parte were offered. 5. Planning Staff's responses to the Applicant's presentation on consistency with the Land Development Regulations (LDR's) are, the proposed use will be located above the existing ground floor commercial use and is specifically listed as a special exception use in the CPO Zoning District. The property to the immediate North of the subject parcel is designated Single Family Residential on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and zoned CPO with the use being that of an insurance office. The property to the East is designated Public Facilities on the FLUM and zoned Public Use with the use being that of the Okeechobee County Courthouse. The property to the South is designated Commercial (C) on the FLUM and zoned CPO with the use being that of business offices. The property to the West is designated C on the FLUM and zoned CPO with the use being that of a vacant building. The proposed residential use is not expected to negatively affect adjacent uses. No changes to the design of the building will be necessary to ensure compatibility. No additional landscape screening is required as the proposed residential unit will be contained within the existing structure. It is unlikely that this proposed use would create any nuisances that would affect other uses. The proposed conversion of commercial to residential should not significantly affect the ability to provide services or utilities. Currently, it should be noted that the subject property is nonconforming to the current parking requirements. However, if the Applicant's request is approved, that nonconformity would be slightly lessened. The 1,029 square feet of office space that is being converted would require 3.34 parking spaces according to the current parking code. A two-bedroom multi-family dwelling unit only requires two parking spaces. The Institute of Traffic Engineers provides estimated trip generation rates for apartments and general office which shows a slight decrease in the estimated traffic generation for the applicant's request. Planning Staff's responses to the Applicant's presentation on the required findings are the property is designated C on the FLUM and the proposed use is not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan. One dwelling unit per commercial building is included under the list of Special Exception Uses in the CPO Zoning District. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. The proposed use is appropriate for the proposed location, is reasonably compatible with adjacent uses and is not detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. Allowing a second-floor residence unit within an existing building should have no impact on the neighboring businesses. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be a deterrent to the development of adjacent property. No required screening from surrounding uses is necessary as the proposed unit will be located inside the existing building with no exterior changes. The requested conversion of uses should not have a significant impact on water, sewer or transportation facilities. It is possible that adding one additional dwelling unit in the City could bring one or several additional school aged children to the Okeechobee school system. However, this potential increase should not significantly impact the County school system. This proposed use should not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. A motion was offered by Member Baughman to approved Special Exception No. 20-003-SE which requests to allow a proposed use of one dwelling unit per commercial building in a Commercial Professional Office (CPO) Zoning District, (Ref Sec 90-223(12)) on 0.688± acres located at 406 NW 3rd Street, seconded by Rif rnhPr C;ranarinc V. There being no further items on the agenda, Chairperson Hoover adjourned the meeting at 6:21 P.M. Dawn T. Hoover, Chairperson ATTEST: PLIW1-13ki.

There will be one employee, which will be the massage therapist, who will schedule only one client per appointment. The applicant is not proposing to conduct any activities outside of the unit. The applicant notes that a hair salon previously occupied this unit as a tenant, a use which is also classified as a personal service pursuant to the definition provided in LDC Chapter 66-1. Consistency with LDC Section 70-373 City LDC Section 70-373(b) requires that applicants for special exception requests must address the following standards. The applicant has submitted responses to each standard, which are provided un- edited below. Staff comments are also provided in response to the standards and the applicant's responses. (1) Demonstrate that the proposed location and site is appropriate for the use. Applicant Response: A massage therapist offers quiet services to a limited clientele that will not affect the other existing tenants within the building. Staff Comments:The proposed massage therapy service is consistent and compatible with the existing commercial and personal service uses within the building. The building itself is surrounded mainly by commercial and public uses. Shared parking for the building is available onsite.The proposed operations include one employee and one patron at a time.At least two parking spaces should be reserved in the onsite parking facility by the landlord for the proposed use. (2) Demonstrate how the site and proposed buildings have been designed so they are compatible with the adjacent uses and the neighborhood. Applicant Response: No outside evidence of this tenant will be visible. No changes to the exterior of the existing building will occur due to this type of tenant. Years ago, this building had a hair salon as a tenant. Staff Comments: The proposed use will be located on the second floor of an existing professional office building. No exterior building or site modifications are proposed at this time, though it is not anticipated that the proposed use will require any exterior building or site modifications.The surrounding land use pattern consists of commercial and public uses and will not be negatively impacted by the proposed massage therapy service. Existing and previous CITY OF OKEECHOBEE MORRIS DEPEW Special Exception October 28, 2022 Staff Report Petition No. 22-004-SE professional service uses within the building have not posed any compatibility issues that staff is aware of. (3) Demonstrate any landscaping techniques to visually screen the use from adjacent uses. Applicant Response: Due to the second floor location,this is not applicable. Staff Comments: The proposed professional service use will be located in an existing office building;therefore,no additional landscaping should be necessary to screen the use.Due to the use location in an existing,functioning office building, the proposed use will have no external impacts requiring screening. (4) Demonstrate what is proposed to reduce the impact of any potential hazards,problems or public nuisance generated by the use. Applicant Response: Landlord shall hold the massage therapist tenant to the same standards of care as all other tenants. Staff Comments: The massage therapist will operate during standard business hours and will only have capacity to provide services to one (1) patron at a time. If deemed necessary, additional conditions on the operation may be required by the Board as a condition of approval of this request. (5) Demonstrate how the utilities and other service requirements of the use can be met. Applicant Response: The existing building is serviced for water/sewer by OUA and paid for by the landlord. All rental units have their own electric meter and are responsible for establishing an account with FPL and paying the monthly bills. Staff Comments:The utilities and other service requirements of the existing office building have been accounted for.As the applicant indicated,the building currently receives water and sewer and all rental units have their own electric meter. (6) Demonstrate how the impact of traffic generated will be handled, off site and on site. Applicant Response: Due to the limited clientele of the proposed tenant,there will be little, if any, additional traffic generated by the massage therapy service. Staff Comments: The proposed massage therapist use poses a de minimis impact on the surrounding roadway network. The applicant indicated the massage therapist will be the only employee and will only have capacity for one patron at a time.Therefore,the use will require two parking spaces total during operating hours of 8:00 a.m.to 5:00 p.m.This practical parking requirement is consistent with the City's codified parking standards,which require two spaces CITY OF OKEECHOBEE 3 MORRIS DEPEW' Special Exception October 28, 2022 Staff Report Petition No. 22-004-SE per chair for barbershops, beauty shops and nail salons;and one parking space per 300 sq ft of floor area for personal service uses. As such, two of the 18 onsite parking spaces should be allocated by the landlord towards this use. Additionally, it should be noted that the site has direct access to on-street parking provided on NW 3`d Street, and in the event that all spaces on-site are utilized, there is available street parking nearby and on other surrounding streets that could supplement the parking required for the proposed use. City LDC Section 70-373(c) provides a list of findings that the Board of Adjustment must address in its determination to approve the request, deny the request, or approve the request with conditions. The applicant has submitted responses to each finding, which are provided un-edited below. Staff comments are also provided in response to the findings and the applicant's responses. (1) The use is not contrary to comprehensive plan requirements. Applicant Response:Allowing a massage therapist to occupy a 2-floor unit within the building will have little, if any, impact on the existing tenants or the neighboring properties. Staff Comments: The Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan does not contain any policies which would prohibit the requested use. Personal services are listed as permissible uses within the Commercial Future Land Use Category, in which the project is located. Staff finds that the proposed use is consistent with the Commercial Future Land Use Category, as defined within the Comprehensive Plan. (2) The use is specifically authorized as a special exception use in the zoning district. Applicant Response: Yes, Sec. 90-223—Special Exception Uses allows an exception for "personal services". Staff Comments: Agreed. Personal Services is an allowed special exception use within the Commercial Professional and Office(CPO)zoning district. (3) The use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. Applicant Response: No Staff Comments: It is not expected that inclusion of this use to the subject property will create any disturbance or adverse effects.The applicant is proposing to utilize this existing unit at the subject property to provide a service within the community. (4) The use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent uses, and is not detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. Applicant Response: Yes—see answer to question#1 above. CITY OF OKEECHOBEE 4 MORRIS DEPEW Special Exception October 28, 2022 Staff Report Petition No. 22-004-SE Staff Comments: As previously mentioned, the requested use is to be included on the second floor in a unit of an existing office building. Staff finds that the subject site and location is reasonably appropriate for the proposed use and should have no effect on urbanizing land use patterns. (5) The use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property. Applicant Response: No—see answer to question#1 above. Staff Comments: The special exception request seeks approval of a personal service use (massage therapist) to operate within a unit of an existing office building containing other professional and personal offices uses. The property to the north, south, east and west of the project site are already developed and are located in an urbanized area of the City. The requested use will be located in an existing unit of an existing office building. Therefore,there is no indication that the requested use will adversely affect property values or living conditions, nor be a deterrent to the improvement or 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:This is not applicable—proposed tenant suite is located on the 2"d floor of an existing building. Staff Comments: Due to the nature of the request as described above, staff is not recommending that any additional landscaping or other screening be necessary as a condition of approval of this request. (7) The use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. Applicant Response: This is not applicable—a tenant occupying an existing commercial suite will not have any affect on public facilities.
