REOUESTED AMENDMENTS: The owner/applicant, GHA, Grand Harbor Ltd., is now requesting amendments to the D.O. to effect three modifications, as follows: 1. To add #1.06 acres of property to the overall Grand Harbor project. 2. To update the project master (land use) plan, approved uses, densities, intensity of development, and build -out dates. 3. To replace the existing D.O. transportation conditions with a new set of transportation conditions which are based on the results of the staff -approved traffic re -analysis. Pursuant to FS 380.06 which governs DRIs, the county may determine that the request does not constitute a substantial deviation. If such a determination is made, the request may be treated as a proposed change or "minor amendment". As a minor amendment, a change in an approved D.O. can be made by the Board of County Commissioners without a formal recommendation from the Regional Planning Council. The Board of County Commissioners must now determine whether or not the proposed D.O. amendments constitute a substantial deviation and must approve or deny the proposed D.O. amendments. ANALYSIS: •Determination: Not a Substantial Deviation Request The developer's request states that the proposed D.O. amendment should not be considered a substantial deviation request because the amendment: 1. is required by the previously approved D.O. amendment, 2. involves merely an update of project development plans and proposes a decrease in overall project density, and 3. involves the addition of only #1.06 acres, an amount of land which does not exceed the substantial deviation threshold of FS 380.06(19)(b). County, DCA, and TCRPC staff have reviewed the proposed D.O. amendment. No department or agency has any objection to the applicant's request that the county determine that the amendment does not constitute substantial deviation. The TCRPC has verified in writing that it has no objections to the requests (see attachment #6 from TCRPC). The DCA has verbally indicated to county planning staff that it has no objection to the requests. Thus, staff analysis indicates that the request does not constitute a substantial deviation. •Effects of Amendment County staff, including public works, utility services, emergency services, and planning, have reviewed the request and have no objections to approving the D.O. amendment. Approving the request would: 19 MAY I 11993 nox 89 FA.GF 19.
