J U1986 BOOK 64 FrJF 7 TO: Honorable Members of the DATE: June 4, 1986 FILE: Board of County Commissioners DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE, Through: Michael K. Miller Chief, Current Development tG i PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO Robert M. Kea i g, AIC SUBJECT: THE PRD ORDINANCE Planning & Develo men Director FROM: Stan Boling .4,t, REFERENCES: PRD Staff Planner IBMIRD It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of Wednesday, June 18, 1986. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Since the Planned Residential Development (PRD) ordinance was adopted (February 20, 1985), it has come to staff's attention that some changes should be made to clarify or correct portions of the ordinance. It has also been requested that, since the PRD process will be utilized by large-scale projects, the ordinance should recognize and allow for the participation of "secondary" develo- pers that could purchase and develop phases or portions of large projects in a timely fashion within the development process. A joint Planning and Zoning/Board of County Commissioners workshop was held on April 4, 1986 to discuss the proposed PRD amendments. At the conclusion of the workshop, the Board indicated that the proposed ordinance was to be brought to the Planning and Zoning Commission for adoption. All of the proposed amendments in the attached ordinance were reviewed at the workshop except for SECTION 8 which addresses concerns about development of "PRD property" not in conformance with a formerly approved plan. At their May 22, 1986 regular meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend adoption of the attached ordinance. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: The PRD process (general steps outlined in attachment #2) is an amalgam of the special exception, site plan, and subdivision/ platting processes. However, the actual development process is fairly straight -forward: site plan approval and a land development permit are needed prior to obtaining building permits, final PRD plan (plat) approval is needed prior to selling individual lots or units, and construction of all required improvements are needed prior to obtaining Certificates of Occupancy (C.O.'s). Building permits, final PRD plan approval and C.O.'s are the actual points of control in the process. The proposed amendments are designed to either correct and clarify steps in this process or to establish an optional process for large-scale projects that allows for participation of secondary developers yet is still guided by the three points of control. Sections 1-7 are corrections and clarifications of the existing ordinance and PRD process. Section 8 is a proposed amendment developed by staff to ensure that a transfer of PRD approval accompanying a transfer of land to another party includes all PRD obligations. Consideration of any other applications for develop- ment approval on "PRD property" is prohibited until such time that the PRD approval and obligations are assumed by the new property owner. Sections 9-11 allow for portions developed by secondary developers. primary developer to, in essence, consisting of tracts that can be secondary developers. RECOMMENDATION of large PRD projects to be These amendments allow for the develop a "PRD subdivision" site planned and built -out by Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the attached ordinance amending the Planned Residential Development (PRD) Ordinance No. 85-5.
