GLA (approximately 809,000 sq. ft. gross building area) TO 796,900 sq. ft. GLA (approximately 863,000 sq. ft. gross building area) 3. Update certain project perimeter buffer and project landscape requirements now contained in the D.O. to reflect current county buffer terminology and landscape standards. These requested changes are necessary to keep the project DRI approval valid and to establish more viable commencement and ;completion timeframes for project development (see attachment #2). CONSIDERATION OF THE REQUEST Pursuant to FS 380.06 which governs DRIs, the county may determine that the request does not constitute a substantial deviation and 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 official approval of the Regional Planning Council.
