The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/16/92: TO: James Chandler DATE: January 16, 1992 County Administrator DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: obs M. a ti g, mcp Community Developmefit Director FROM: Stan Boling AICP Planning Director SUBJECT: Proposed Minor Amendment to the Harbor Town Center DRI Development Order It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of January 28, 1992. BACKGROUND: On March 28, 1989, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a development order (D.O.) approving the development of regional impact (DRI) project known as the Harbor Town Center regional mall. Subsequently, on September 26, 19891 some minor amendments to the D.O. were adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. The amended D.O. remains in effect. The project site consists of ±92.5 acres located on the east side Of U.S. #1 between 53rd Street and the Main Relief Canal (see attachment #1). The proposed project includes approximately 747,000 square feet of gross retail commercial mall and outparcel building area. The proposed project has the appropriate commercial land use designation and commercial zoning, and has a valid, effective D.O. Thus, the next step in the Harbor Town Center mall development process is the submission and approval of.a site plan. However, no site plan application has been submitted to date, and no project construction has taken place. REQUESTED AMENDMENT AND REQUIRED ACTION: The D.O. contains many sections dealing with a variety of issues and impacts. Among the issues addressed are project construction commencement deadlines. One of the construction commencement deadlines requires that project construction (either the mall building itself or certain outparcel development) begin by March 28, 1992. Due to delays in the construction of Indian River Boulevard which is crucial to the project, and other factors, the current project developer (Petrie-Dierman-Kuhn, Inc.) is requesting that the March 28, 1992 commencement deadline be deleted from the D.O. (see attachment #2). Pursuant to FS 380.06 which governs DRIB, the county may determine that the request does not constitute a substantial deviation and may be treated as a "minor amendment". As a minor amendment, a change in an. approved D.O. can be made by the Board of County Commissioners without formal Regional Planning Council action. Pursuant to LDR section 916.05(1), the Planning and Zoning Commission has considered the request. At its regular meeting of January 9, 1992, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 33 JAN 28 1992 'ROOK 4 11
