3. Environmental Impacts: During review by DCA, TCRPC, and <br />county staff, the PDA area was limited so that significant <br />native upland habitat areas and wetland areas were located <br />outside of the PDA area. These will be preserved via the DRI <br />process. <br />4. Agreement Terms: The proposed PDA includes the following <br />obligations of the applicant, the county, and the state: <br />A. The Applicant: <br />- Will apply for DRI approval within 3 months of <br />execution of the PDA. <br />- Will be limited to development of golf course and <br />accessory facilities within the PDA area, prior to <br />DRI approval. <br />[Note: Such development within the PDA area will <br />not occur until the applicant obtains site plan <br />approval. The county can issue a land clearing <br />permit for clearing within the PDA area based upon <br />approval of the PDA and issuance of a St. Johns <br />River Water Management District permit or <br />approval.] <br />- Will either complete the golf course within 18 <br />months of DRI approval or obtain a comprehensive <br />plan re -designation of the driving range and <br />practice areas to convert those facilities to stand <br />alone commercial uses. <br />- Agrees to claim no vested rights or entitlement to <br />approval of the DRI application nor to particular <br />DRI development order conditions. <br />B. The County: <br />- Will allow the driving range and accessory golf <br />course facilities to be constructed as the first <br />phase of the total golf course development. <br />C. The State: <br />- Will allow the preliminary development within the <br />PDA to occur prior to DRI approval for the total <br />project. <br />In staff's opinion, the PDA simply allows the applicant to <br />proceed under county oversight with limited additional <br />development on the outlet mall site without waiting until <br />formal approval of the DRI. As proposed, the preliminary <br />development allowed by the PDA will not have impacts that <br />require special review. The commercial development that will <br />be proposed via the DRI application, however, will involve a <br />special review of impacts (e.g. traffic, environmental, <br />police, and fire protection). If the DRI is not applied for <br />or is not approved, development within the PDA will still be <br />made to meet county LDR requirements under the county's own <br />development review and approval processes. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the <br />PDA and authorize the chairman to execute the original PDA <br />documents. <br />commissioner Bird announced a conflict of interest and filed <br />the necessary form with the Clerk's office. He said his firm is <br />involved in ongoing negotiations regarding this property which is <br />BOOK 99 PAu <br />OCTOBER 22, 1996 21 489 <br />
