091 PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ORDINANCE: SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS REFERENCE: SECTION III -D -2 -f ADMINISTRATIVE RE- APPROVAL ORIGIN OF AMENDMENT: X Staff Planning Board BOCC Public Other: STAFF PRIORITY RECOMMENDATION: r X High Middle Low Comment: EXPECTED PUBLIC HEARING DATE: May 28, 1991 PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT: To provide a procedure for administrative re- approval of expired Preliminary Plats. IMPACTS /ISSUES: Under current procedures, an expired Preliminary Plat may be extended upon approval by the Board of Commissioners of a revised phasing plan. There are specific criteria for the Board to consider when determining if the revision will be approved. If a revision to the phasing plan is not approved, then the applicant must re- submit the expired portion of the Preliminary Plan as if it were a new project. In many cases, the re- submitted Preliminary Plan is identical to the original plat which was approved by the Board of Commissioners. If there have been no major changes in subdivision, zoning, or other regulations which affect the proposal, then the Preliminary Plat is generally re- approved with little or no change. Major design considerations and other issues were addressed and resolved prior to the original approval. Where there have been no changes in regulations which affect the subdivision, and no changes to the original proposal are requested, the existing procedure of considering the subdivision as if it were a new project is oriented largely toward process, rather than substance. The attached amendment is proposed to allow staff to re- approve expired Preliminary Plats if: - the original subdivision design and conditions of approval are consistent with regulations in existence at the time of application for re- approval, and - any changes`to the original approval are considered "minor changes ", which are technical rather than substantive.
