PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTION: At its regular meeting of November S, 2001, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously (6 - 0 ) to recommend approval to the change in the zoning reverter. ANALYSIS: Because no design or project parameter changes are involved in the request, no project plan revisions are needed. Consequently, the approved conceptual and preliminary PD (phase I) plan will be unaffected by the requested zoning reverter modification. Please find attached previous staff reports to the Board regarding The Colony. Since the P.D. will remain as is, these reports still accurately reflect the P.D. development plan proposal. The existing zoning reverter clause reads as follows. "NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Board of County Cornmissioners of Indian River County, Florida, that the Zoning of the property situated in Indian River County, and legally described in EXIMIT A (attached) be changed from RS -3 to PD, residential and that the PD conceptual plan (see EXHIBIT B, attached) will control and regulate development on the subject land. Said zoning shall revert to RS -3 on December 31, 2001, unless a land development for all or any portion of the project has been issued prior to that date." The proposed reverter ordinance reads as follows with the deleted language in strike -through and the added language underlined: "NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, that the Zoning of the property situated in Indian River County, and legally described in EXHIBIT A (attached) be changed from RS -3 to PD, residential and that the PD conceptual plan (see EXHIBIT B, attached) will control and regulate development of the subject land_ Said rezoning shall revert to RS -3 on D-esernber�-3 ? � December 31" 2002, unless a land development permit for all or any portion of the project has been issued prior to that date. The applicant has already applied for a land development permit, and there is a possibility that the permit will be issued prior to December 31, 2001, thereby eliminating the need for the reverter date modification. Because LDP issuance is uncertain, the applicant has proceeded with this request. Initially, the applicant requested a 6 month extension of the reverter to June 30`n 2002. After considering the time-consuming process involved with changing the reverter, however, staff agreed to a one year extension to ensure that the applicant has more than enough time to meet his pennitting obligations. The one year reverter extension amounts to a one year extension of the project approval. Such extensions are routinely granted by the Board for site plan approvals. Because the extension poses no adverse impacts and will allow an approved project to go forward, staff supports the request. RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant approval to modify the Colony PD zoning ordinance to extend the zoning reverter date from December 317 2001 to December 3l, 2002.
