Key outcomes from the Okeechobee County Planning Board meeting:
- Approval of minutes: Board approved minutes from the June 23 regular meeting by voice vote. - Temporary‑Use Permit (Dr. Horton): Motion to recommend denial of the TUP for an off‑site model home for more than one year carried 3–1; item forwarded for a second hearing before the Board of County Commissioners on Aug. 20 at 9:00 a.m. - LDR amendments (special exceptions): Board recommended that the Board of County Commissioners not implement a proposed change categorizing special exceptions as "major" (over 10 acres) and shifting majors to commissioner review; the board sought clearer justification if the change returns. - Floodplain LDR amendments (sections 6.05 & 6.06): Board recommended adoption of ordinance language that relocates existing floodplain provisions to align with the state model; staff said the change is form, not substance. Second hearing is Aug. 20 at 9:00 a.m.
