On June 15 , 2001 , engineer David Knight, on behalf of Ralph Evans , Trustee for the owner of Prime Outlets (Prime Retail , L . P . ) , filed a Notice of Proposed Change (NOPC) to amend the D . O . The proposed amendment would extend the commencement of construction date by 4 years , modify certain traffic conditions , and reduce the project size by removing a 1 . 35 acre commercial "out parcel " tract that fronts SR 60 from the DRI. The proposed amendment has been reviewed by county staff, TCRPC staff, and the state. County staff and reviewing agencies have no objections to approval of the NOPC . The state requirements of FS 380 . 06 govern DRIB and classify D . O . amendment requests into two categories . One category is known as "substantial deviations ", which is the category applied to proposed major changes . The other category is for proposed changes that do not constitute a substantial deviation. These types of requests are considered minor amendments . Pursuant to FS 380 . 06 , the county may determine that the request does not constitute a substantial deviation. It should be noted that, in staff s opinion, the request does not constitute a substantial deviation. If such a determination is made by the Board of County Commissioners, then the request will 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 a formal vote and recommendation from the Regional Planning Council . At its regular meeting of August 23 , 2001 , the Planning and Zoning Commission considered the request, as required under special county DRI regulations [reference LDR section 916 . 05 ( 1 ) ] . By a 5 -0 vote, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the Board determine that the request does not constitute a substantial deviation and adopt a resolution that approves the request and requires preservation of an identified mixed hardwood wetland area that covers a portion of the 1 . 35 acre outparcel tract to be removed from the DRI project area (see attachment #5 ) . Such a resolution has been prepared and is attached ( see attachment #6) . The Board is now to consider the request and make a determination as to whether the request does or does not constitute a substantial deviation and approve, approve with conditions , or deny the proposed D . O . amendment. ANALYSIS : The principal aspects of the proposed amendment are extension of the Phase 2 ( expansion phase) construction commencement date, project build-out date, and D . O . expiration date by 4 years each. The proposed traffic condition modifications and the conditions to be retained include requirements for a traffic impact re- analysis in 2002 as well as yearly monitoring and analysis conditions . These safeguards will ensure that extending project dates, as proposed, will not result in adverse traffic impacts . • Determination : Not a Substantial Deviation Request State , TCRPC , and county staff have reviewed the request in accordance with FS 380 . 06 and have determined that the proposed amendment does not constitute a substantial deviation . It should be noted that approval of the proposed amendment would extend project timeframes by less than 5 years . September 11 , 2001 25 U1 i i J t7 1- J
