Keating, ICP; Co unity Development Director <br /> FROM: Stan Boling, AICP; Planning Director <br /> DATE: August 1, 2013 <br /> SUBJECT: Pulte Group's (DiVosta Homes) Request to Modify the Waterway Village DRI <br /> Development Order to Require Biennial Rather than Annual Project Status <br /> Reports <br /> It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County <br /> Commissioners at its regular meeting of August 20, 2013. <br /> (W DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: <br /> On November 9, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a development order(D.O.) <br /> approving the development of regional impact(DRI)known as Waterway Village. Since 2004,the <br /> D.O.has been amended twice. In 2010,it was amended to address project vesting for concurrency, <br /> to update traffic conditions,and to update the project master plan. In 2012,it was amended to delete <br /> the requirement for a"safe room"within each residential unit. <br /> In 2011,pursuant to state legislation known as HB 7207,the legislature granted all DRIB a four year <br /> extension to D.O.condition dates relating to project phasing,project build-out,and D.O.expiration. <br /> As amended and extended, the Waterway Village D.O. will remain in effect until December 31, <br /> 2028. While in effect, the D.O. governs the general development of the entire project via specific <br /> D.O. conditions and approved application materials that include the project master plan. <br /> As approved,the D.O.allows 1,596 residential units,community recreation improvements including <br /> clubhouses,and up to 20,000 sq. ft. of neighborhood commercial building area. Although the D.O. <br /> allows for 1,596 units, the approved conceptual PD plan allows only 1,501 residential units, 95 <br /> fewer units than the D.O. <br /> On behalf of the Pulte Group (successor to DiVosta Homes), Attorney Bruce Barkett has filed a <br /> request to amend a current requirement within the D.O.for the developer to file annual project status <br /> reports each year with the County, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC), and <br /> (W various state departments (see attachment #1). Although Indian River County and the TCRPC <br /> typically require an annual report to be filed,Florida Statutes require the filing of a status report only <br /> F:\Community Development\CurDev\BCC\2013 BCC\Waterway Village NOPC BCC report.doc 1 140 <br />
