Cityy Planning Consultant Mr. Ben Smith of Morris-Depew Associates, Inc. briefly reviewed the Planning Staff Report. A special exception application (23-002-SE) has also been submitted for approval of the car was use in a trict,_subject Lot 1, of the recently approved ParkStreet Commerce Park plat (23-003-TRC), which includes more information related to the replat and associate infrastructure plans. Safe' plan includes: • 3 vehicle entry lanes, each with a menu board for customers to select car wash options and make payment A 4,596 sq/ft automated carwash building • 5 spaces intended for employees • 19 vacuum spaces Applicant is requesting that the TRC approve a parking reduction as part of the site plan approval. The LDR requires 31 parking spaces for the 4,596 sq/ft. OUA has provided a letter indicating the water and sewer plants have available remaining capacity and that any extensions or upgrades necessary due to the designs or demands of the proposed project will be at the owner's expense. A Traffic Impact Study has been provided within the submittal package, completed for an automated car wash. The Traffic Study, which utilized ITE 11 land use code 948 and Gross Floor Area to determine the average daily trips, indicates an estimated PM peak of 33 trips, and an average 375 daily trips generated by the car wash. The site plan indicates that two access points are proposed. Rkjw U d I - �! r� K. Trimnal Handwritten Minutes, November 16; 2023, Page 12 of 33 Cy �""" V. NEW BUSINESS ITEM B CONTINUED • Access is provided by a cross -access easement on the eastern property boundary, providing through -access to the adjacent property, which connects to proposed NE 13th Ave. • Direct access to SR-70 is proposed. One item of note is that one of the vehicle entry lanes is proposed at only 8.8 ft wide. The other two lanes are 9' and 10.2' wide. While 8.8' is a fairly narrow lane, it is not a city code compliance issue, and the travel speed should be low as vehicles approach the menu boards. Additionally, the applicant has provided a queuing analysis with the special exception application. The analysis demonstrates that the site contains sufficient vehicle stacking capacity to accommodate peak demand without causing vehicle stacking to exceed the boundaries of the site. Sufficiency of fire truck access and egress to be addressed by the Fire Department No Loading zones are required, and none are proposed. The site plan depicts a dumpster within a 10'x12' enclosure with direct access via the cross -access easement/roadway on the north side of the site. Sufficiency of the dumpster enclosure and location will be addressed by Okeechobee Public Works department. The subject property is located in an area of the City with existing commercial uses along SR-70, which is considered one of the City's commercial corridors and is located within a recently platted commercial park where other commercial uses are anticipated. The carwash will provide a consumer service along SR-70, a Major Arterial roadway. The proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the zoning code, contingent on approval of the concurrent Special Exception Application, and is compatible with surrounding uses. K.

City Planning Consultant Mr. Ben Smith of Morris-Depew Associates, Inc. briefly reviewed the Planning Staff Report. A special exception application (23-002-SE) has also been submitted for approval of the car was use In a riot subject Lot 1, of the recently ap roved Park Street Commerce Park plat (23-003-TRC), which inc`fudes more information related to the replat and associate Infrastructure plans. I e plan includes: • 3 vehicle entry lanes, each with a menu board for customers to select car N, wash options and make payment A 4,596 sq/ft automated carwash building l 5 spaces intended for employees • 19 vacuum spaces Applicant is requesting that the TRC approve a parking reduction as part of the site plan approval. The LDR requires 31 parking spaces for the 4,596 sq/ft. OUA has provided a letter indicating the water and sewer plants have available remaining capacity and that any extensions or upgrades necessary due to the designs or demands of the proposed project will be at the owner's expense. A Traffic Impact Study has been provided within the submittal package, completed for an automated car wash. The Traffic Study, which utilized ITE 11 land use code 948 and Gross Floor Area to determine the average daily trips, indicates an estimated PM peak of 33 trips, and an average 375 daily trips generated by the car wash. The site plan indicates that two access points are proposed. awio+� C d K. Trimnal Handwritten Minutes, November 16, 2023, Page 12 of 33 V. NEW BUSINESS ITEM B CONTINUED • Access is provided by a cross -access easement on the eastern property boundary, providing through -access to the adjacent property, which connects to proposed NE 13' Ave. • Direct access to SR-70 is proposed. One item of note is that one of the vehicle entry lanes is proposed at only 8.8 ft wide. The other two lanes are 9' and 10.2' wide. While 8.8' is a fairly narrow lane, it is not a city code compliance issue, and the travel speed should be low as vehicles approach the menu boards. Additionally, the applicant has provided a queuing analysis with the special exception application. The analysis demonstrates that the site contains sufficient vehicle stacking capacity to accommodate peak demand without causing vehicle stacking to exceed the boundaries of the site. Sufficiency of fire truck access and egress to be addressed by the Fire Department No Loading zones are required, and none are proposed. The site plan depicts a dumpster within a 10'x12' enclosure with direct access via the cross -access easement/roadway on the north side of the site. Sufficiency of the dumpster enclosure and location will be addressed by Okeechobee Public Works department. The subject property is located in an area of the City with existing commercial uses along SR-70, which is considered one of the City's commercial corridors and is located within a recently platted commercial park where other commercial uses are anticipated. The carwash will provide a consumer service along SR-70, a Major Arterial roadway. The proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the zoning code, contingent on approval of the concurrent Special Exception Application, and is compatible with surrounding uses. K.
