Discussion and Interested Parties

Legal Notice was properly advertised as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter.


Recommendation and Voting

Staff asked for any comments regarding the Article VII. PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS
(handout given out at the last meeting on June 20th). The staff report is approximately 60
pages so far and has not been finalized. The Legal Department is in the process of
reviewing it.

One commissioner questioned the basis for the deadline of 4 years to complete
construction for a development. He thought it should be a shorter period and then
extending the time line if it was needed. The Community Development director stated
that currently there are no deadlines for completion and 4 years is just a recommendation.
A planned development is a timelier endeavor. For example, Optima took at least 3 years
to complete and the IS+TP was staged in phases.

On a different note, another commissioner asked how long Optima can keep their sales
banners on the building. The director answered that he will have it looked into as they
are totally rented now.
.
A request was made by staff to continue this case to the next meeting, July 18, 2013 and
possibly finishing it up on the August 1st meeting. A motion was made to continue the
case to the July 18, 2013 meeting. All voted aye.
