TO : James Chandler County Administrator D A TMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE : ober[ M . Keating, AICP CommunityDeevelopment irector ��Af) FROM : Stan Boling, AICP Planning Director DATE : September 4 , 2001 .SUBJECT : Proposed Change to the HorizowTrime Outlet DRI Development Order It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of September 11 , 2001 . DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS : On March 24, 1994 , the Planning and Zoning Commission granted major site plan approval for the Horizon Outlet Center located in the southwest quadrant of the I- 95/S . R. 60 interchange. The approved site plan proposed 333 , 089 square feet of retail building area on 44 . 11 acres . That amount of development was determined by the State not to constitute a development of regional impact (DRI) . Therefore, no DRI review was required for that amount of development. Subsequently, the project was developed and built-out under the approved site plan. Later, the project developer proposed a "Phase 2 " expansion of the outlet facility and construction of other inter-related commercial uses on 138 . 73 acres of adjacent property . The proposed expansion would more than double the existing commercial building area and constituted a development of regional impact ( DRI ) . Consequently, the developer applied for and obtained DRI approval for the expansion. That approval, granted by the Board of County Commissioners in 1998 . required that construction of the expansion phase (phase 2 ) commence within 3 years of the DRI approval (2001 ) . The approval included a development order (D . O. ) which contains several specific traffic conditions that cover required traffic improvements and monitoring . To date, no construction has commenced on the expansion phase, although the developer did obtain site plan approval in 1999 for infrastructure improvements to serve the expansion phase . That site plan approval has since expired (reference SP-MA- 99-03 - 11 ) . Because construction of the expansion phase has not commenced, the D . O. needs to be modified and updated to keep the DRI approval in effect . September 11 , 2001 24 PG � J 3
