Most building <br /> permits are issued within 30 days of the application date if the plans are done well and require <br /> no or only minor revisions. Under the timelines proposed in the attached resolution, the outer- <br /> most date limit for projects with a ZCP by January 1, 2017 is June 30, 2019 and this would apply <br /> only if building permit issuance takes the full 180 day limit. <br /> Attachment 3 contains graphical presentations of these timeframes. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Allowing for grandfathering of projects may result in a lesser amount of <br /> school impact fee collections than might be collected if grandfathering, particularly for projects <br /> with an approved ZCP, were not allowed. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to <br /> this agenda item: <br /> • GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES <br /> The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes <br /> and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of <br /> environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions.
