Slaff Report- Rezoning Requmit Prepared for: City of Okeechobee Applicant: Visiting Nurse Association of Florida Inc. From: RMF To: CPO Petition No.: 08-004-R Staff Report Rezoning Request Applicant: Visiting Nurse Association of Florida Petition No.: 08-004 -R Adjacent Future Land Use Map Classifications and Zoning Districts: aP) Iasi 44S0:16§3 a tore. Summary: In February, the City granted a small -scale Future Land Use Map Amendment for the subject property from Single Family to Commercial to allow an assisted living facility. At that time, it was stated that an assisted living facility will be allowable on the subject parcel if the Small Plan Amendment and rezoning to CPO are approved. The proposed development will be built on the subject property and the adjacent lot immediately to the east. Both of these parcels are owned by the applicant and together comprise approximately 0.980 acres. The property owner proposes to build and operate a two -story, thirty -two unit/35 -bed assisted living facility. Analysis: 1. The proposed use is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. The proposed assisted living facility and CPO zoning district are not contrary to the Comprehensive Plan requirements. By allowing the CPO zoning district, the subject property will be zoned consistent with the recently approved Small Plan Amendment changing the Future Land Use designation to Commercial. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. The City Council also recently a change to the LDRs providing greater opportunity for the location of assisted living facilities in the City. The change allows assisted living facilities as a special exception in the CPO, CLT and CHV zoning districts. 2 Staff Report Applicant: Visiting Nurse Association of Florida Rezoning Request Petition No.: 08 -004-R 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. Based on the 7tn Edition, 1TE Trip Generation Manual, the facility has an average trip generation rate of 2.66 trips per assisted living unit per day, with 0.22 trips/day at peak hour. Using these figures, a 32 -unit assisted living facility could be expected to generate up to 85 trips per day and seven trips during the PM peak hour. Staff does not believe this level of traffic will neither adversely affect the City's ability to main- tain its adopted levels of service nor result in traffic congestion in the area. Given sound drainage and stormwater management one would not expect flooding or drainage problems. These issues will be specifically addressed by the TRC dur- ing its review of the project's site plan. 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. The only restrictions on the property are those which are the standards prescribed by the Land Development Code and the Comprehensive Plan. 10. The proposed change will not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare. The rezoning to CPO, which is consistent with the Commercial land use designation of the property, will not constitute a grant of special privilege to the owner. Recommendation: Based on the foregoing analysis, Staff recommends approval of the request to rezone the property from RMF to CPO. Submitted by. James G.
