General Description
The request for consideration by the City's Technical Review Committee (TRC) is an application
for Site Plan Review of a residential development containing 12 duplexes and 4 single-family
residences for a total of 28 dwelling units. The 4.24-acre project area is comprised of two city
blocks, separated by NE 4th Street.This request was initially reviewed by the TRC at their February
16, 2023 meeting. Revised plans have been submitted and this report provides staff's analysis of
those revised plans. Areas of deficiency or concern are highlighted in yellow.

Adequacy of Public Facilities
Potable Water and Sewer: Availability of potable water and sewer service for this site has been
confirmed previously.
Traffic Generation: The applicant has provided a traffic analysis prepared by Mackenzie
Engineering & Planning, Inc. which demonstrates available roadway capacity for 42 dwelling
units. The traffic analysis was prepared for a greater density than the 28 dwelling units that the
applicant is proposing.
Access and Internal Circulation: A separate driveway is proposed for each structure with direct
access to local roadways.
Service Vehicle Access and Egress:
A. Fire Truck
Sufficiency of fire truck access and egress to be addressed by the Fire Department.
B. Loading Zone
No Loading zones are required, and none are proposed.
C. Dumpster Location and/or Trash Collection
No dumpster enclosure is depicted on the site plans. Each residence will maintain
individual trash cans for waste disposal.
Consistency and Compatibility with Adjacent Uses
Consistency and Compatibility Analysis:
The proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the zoning code and is
compatible with surrounding uses. Duplexes in this location provide a transition between
commercial property to the west and south and the low density residential to the east and north;
and will not be detrimental to the adjacent church properties. The development provides
moderate density housing options in close proximity to the US441 corridor and downtown
Okeechobee, which will provide support for the existing commercial in this area.

Recommendation
Based on the foregoing analysis, we recommend that the following conditions are satisfied prior to

floor plans are not consistent with latest site plan. Please provide updated elevations and floor
plans which are consistent with site plan.
2. Primary front setbacks shall be at least 25 feet for all structures.
3. Site plan must provide lot coverage calculations and impervious surface calculations for each lot,
demonstrating compliance with Section 90-450.
4. Applicant agrees that if utilities are not provided separately to each structure and lot,parcels may
not be subdivided unless a master homeowners association is created to manage shared utilities.
5. Landscape plans shall demonstrate compliance with landscape buffer standards per§90-534(2)
or TRC may approve alternate landscape plan per§90-539 upon finding that applicant has
demonstrated that the landscape and buffer requirements can be more effectively met by an
alternative landscape plan.
6. Engineering review comments shall be addressed as required by the City Administrator and Public
Works Director.
