Fidelity Federal Bank <br />4 ?nm <br />As the table indicates, the proposed LDR amendment, if approved, will significantly <br />reduce the number of non-residential, permitted use projects that the PZC reviews. While <br />that reduction is significant, the substantive effect should not be. That is because the <br />projects that will not be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission are permitted <br />use projects where app+oval is not discretionary. Even the largest of these projects must <br />be approved if it meets all applicable regulations. Also, it should be noted that all <br />residential projects, administrative permit projects, and special exception use projects that <br />PZC reviews currently will still be reviewed by PZC. <br />Following are five example projects that were reviewed by PZC during the January, 2000 <br />to August 2001 period, but would have been staff -level approved if the proposed <br />threshold had been in effect during that period. <br />Project Name <br />Permitted <br />Permitted Use <br />Administrativ71Exception <br />ecial <br />PD <br />2.

The proposed <br />timeframe is seven (7) working days from staff's receipt of resubmitted plans. This <br />timeframe is acceptable to staff and the PSAC, and will fit into existing review and <br />approval procedures. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />In considering staff level project approval thresholds, there are a number of alternatives <br />available to the PZC. These alternatives include: <br />OCTOBER 23, 2001 <br />-60- <br />
